I have three main priorities in my life. 1) My faith and relationship with the Lord. 2) My values and ideals as a Christian. 3) My love for my country and what it stands for. More and more, I see these three priorities disappearing from the world's eye as the decades tick by. Modern society teaches that you can be good without God, that morals and Christian values belong in an old fashioned world, and that the big bad US of A needs to apologize for our past and current foreign policies. Modern Society is wrong. It is not an improvement over old ideals, it is one step away from total chaos.
The fact of the matter is, this world needs us now more than ever to stand up and loudly proclaim that we are Christians, and that we will continue spreading God's word to those who need it. That is our God given duty. This country is still ticking and God is not done with us yet. The White House may be bringing this country down to the lowest level in history, as God has said would happen to those who curse Israel, but the rest of us still have some fight left in us. I for one will not give up on this country or the good left in this world.
What the masses don't seem to understand is what would happen if the US stopped policing and giving aid to the nations of the world who need it. It would be like selling our soul, giving up on what made this country great. Have they truly forgotten what this country stands for? A force of good, an example of honor, and a light shining bright in the darkness. Trusting in God, and being blessed by God. The blessed are our friends, and evil is our enemy. The evil in this world may be winning at the moment, and our cause may seem lost, but the second we admit defeat is the moment where despair sets in. Whether they know it or not, whether they thank us or not, they need our help. If we abandon our mission to fight tyranny and oppression, the world loses because who will pick up our slack? With no one to take it on themselves to fight the unjust, everyone loses.
I stress this, we can not give up. We can not give up and just say, "You know what, the rapture is coming anyway, why waste my time?" or "You know what, if Israel is so ungrateful and rejected Jesus, let them fend for themselves." NO. That is Satan talking, that is what he wants. He wants Iran to nuke Israel off the map. He is enjoying watching God's chosen people being surrounded and taking flak from all sides. Do not give him the satisfaction. In a world full of evil, anger and hate, the world needs our love, our compassion, our sense of good, our prayers, and they most of all need to know our savior. Teach them, show them the way, and give them the hope they need to put their faith in a higher power, in God. If at least one person, even just one turns to the Lord and follows his example of love and generosity, you have Succeeded in making this world and the next a better place.
