Can you remember a time when there has been more controversy in our nation and more people at odds with each other?
If it’s not abortion, it’s sexual preference and if not those issues, it is the stimulus package or healthcare reform or the war on terror.
Realistically, you will be hard-pressed to find any two people that agree on any of these issues but what about the bigger picture? Our country continues to slide down from the top of the financial mountain it once stood alone at the top of. Militarily, other than China or Russia , no nation could match our nation’s might or its resolve to win.
While poverty was always with us, no nation could boast of our bounty and its distribution to other nations in need. Should we expand social programs and cut the military, or visa verse? The speculation could go on forever so consider this: Proverbs 14:34, 35
“Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people. The king’s favour is toward a wise servant: but his wrath is against him that causeth shame.”
Controversy and debate will always be with us. Perhaps we should consider turning back to G-d, it would change the situation.
