Americans Fear Big Government but not the Lord
Timothy Birdnow
Americans rate government as the top problem facing America, followed by immigration, according to a poll conducted by Gallup.
According to the Gallup website:
"government. The government has commonly been cited in recent years as the most important problem facing the country, with the problem having received or been tied for the most mentions – 22 times in the last 24 months. The current 19 percent who say it is the most important problem is well below the all-time high of 33 percent who cited the issue in October 2013, during a partial shutdown of the Federal government, but is in line with the 22 percent average who have noted the government this year."
End excerpt.
Americans listed government at the top, with 19% thinking it is the primary problem of our day. Immigration was next at 16%, followed by unifying the country 8, race relations at 7, poverty at six, health care at five.
Gun control was at the bottom of the list at three percent. Sadly, ethnic-moral-religious decline rated at the bottom with gun control. I say sadly because this decline is the root of all our problems, and the fact that most Americans don''t see this as a problem is the problem itself. It's like alcoholism; the last person to admit to it is the drunk. All of America's other problems stem from the moral decay of the country. Government is out of control precisely because Americans have become a-moral and too many are out for their own pleasure and self-promotion. The end result is everyone is willing to use government to take what isn't theirs, to force others to bend to their will. It is a moral matter. Ditto immigration; if America were morally and spiritually right we would understand the need to maintain our unique culture. But a large segment of America is a-moral and cannot see what right we have to stop anyone from coming here. In fact, many see America as immoral precisely because we once held Judeo-Christian values and they hate them because they poop on the party. So a sizable chunk of the populace wants to punish the country for having been Christian.
As the Bible says in 2Chronicles 7:14:
"If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.
End excerpt.
All of these other problems will come into focus if we repent. That Americans do not see a need for that is very troubling. America is willfully rejecting Christianity and the Bible, and the end result is going to be terrible. We have sold our national soul for sex and dissolute living.
Fear of the Lord is the beginning of all wisdom.
