Many of our white brothers and sisters in America are experiencing rough times. They may have lost a job because of an affirmative action program or perhaps didn't receive the promotion or scholarship they deserve. Their company may be down sizing with much of the work going overseas. While one income use to be sufficient to raise a family, we have become accustomed to needing two incomes and in many family's three incomes are now essential. Whole sections of every major city in the United States is unsafe for white people and small towns are becoming killing grounds where desensitized youngsters raised on praises of abortion in anti Christian environments are now aborting the lives of their peers. Little children in America's elementary classrooms sit through discussions of homosexuality, queer role playing, and the rules for safe sex often without their parent's knowledge. Parent's are viewed as obstacles to a teen's happiness if they don't adhere to a permissive sexual attitude. The family structure is crumbling. America's elderly often sit in desperate poverty while billions are sent abroad to other nations. Euthanasia is being cleverly sewn into the social fabric of America. Many purport that if it's okay to end the life of a chronically ill person than why not an old person who some claim has lived up their usefulness. The sanctity of life is being thrown in the gutter. Few can argue that America isn't in danger, but for the most part people have it pretty good - so it seems. While we have witnessed a mortgage crisis in America, new homes are still being built as many seek to escape the city. And even renters are finding that the mortgage crisis is now giving them more options for housing. Bright colored speed boats crowd America's lakes and gigantic recreational vehicles zip along our roadways. Shiny new cars and trucks dot the driveways across the land since the recent "Clunkers" govt. car buying program. There isn't much T.V. programming worthy for the whole family to watch, but it's still pretty funny and can help pass an evening away. If you don't watch television there are thousands of romance novels, mysteries, and thrillers you can live on. Keeping up with the newest styles is almost a job in itself and that is on top of keeping up with the Jones's. Our computers can link us to parts of the world never imaginable at lighting speed. We can conduct business, research our roots, chat with others, almost anything, but actual conception can happen over the internet. Many people are even becoming addicted to their computers and support groups are now popping up. But all in all, whether it's for education, business, or entertainment, its a great diversion to real life substance. Practically every home will be on line with in the next 5 years. And let's not forget sports - football, basketball, hockey, swimming, golf, roller blading, soccer, and on and on. There is a sport for everyone and it's great exercise. But most people watch sports, they don't play sports. If you can't get enough of it you can buy one of those mini satellite dishes and watch a game 24 hours a day. Many in the pros make more money in a year than it would take to feed an entire small nation dying of starvation. On top of their sports salary they can make additional money by endorsing products made by small children for eighty or ninety cents a day. But still the public can't get enough of these "heroes". Economically, America seems to be on the decline. But folks keep on spending and most aren't too worried. The billions they spend on entertainment show it. Even America's poor can watch a sitcom to drown their sorrows or lift their standard of living at a rent -to-own place. Compared to the rich in history, even our modern day poor have it pretty good-running water, refrigeration, microwave ovens, etc. Yet, few realize they are living on an economic and social fault line and even fewer seem to care. Nobody owns their home, their car, truck, or boat. The bank or mortgage company owns it. Prices aren't getting lower because the economy is good, but because Americans are losing their jobs and women and children in third world countries get paid virtually nothing for doing the same job. Of course, fast food joints are hiring. Ownership of American businesses by foreign nations is skyrocketing - but you can still get a value meal at McDonalds for $2.99 and watch the football game so who cares? Many think that the economic problems aren't as bad as they have been made out to be. They interpret low inflation and low interest rates as evidence that things are turning around. What they don't see is an economy being destroyed by excessive government regulations, an aging work force expecting to retire on government largess, economic suicide hidden behind NAFTA and GATT, and a national attitude that our government can make better economic decisions than private industry can. The housewife or average worker during the depression era would remember how positive the news was just prior to the crash of '29. The country was experiencing an all-time high in economic output, and jobs, although low skill, were plentiful. Living standards were rising rapidly, and immigrants were pouring into America, the land of opportunity. But, the credit industry is thriving. Americans are living on a thin veneer of make believe prosperity. Credit is today's drug of choice for the student, the homemaker, the small business owner, the entertainer, the ceo, everyone. It lulls us into a false sense of security. It helps to ease the despair we feel over our failing society. It helps us forget the abuses being committed against us. Homosexuals have marched out of the closets, out into the streets, and into the classrooms. Our children are poisoned by their debauchery, yet we seem to think we can make up for it by a new video game. Our daughters are taught that murder of the unborn is a natural choice for them and sexual promiscuity is their equal right. When crushed by an illicit relationship or abortion we can always take them to the mall. Our sons are plagued by pornography and their lack of respect for women accelerate. When they grow into pitiful adults maybe a new boat will make up for their broken marriage. What will happen when our economy slumps as low as our nation's morals - when there is no quick fix to alleviate our fears and concerns. So many have been taught that it is the government's job to make them happy. They forget that the government is to protect their pursuit of happiness, but never is it their job to make them happy. America is on an economic and moral fault line because they have chosen not to be responsible for their actions. They are tricked into living in a manner they cannot afford and into ignoring problems they should fight. There is
no way of knowing what the future holds. None of us has a crystal
ball, yet the Bible gives us good indicators of what to expect when we
cease to live by God's guidelines.
