I was reading a post that a dear friend of mine wrote and it touched me deeply. This is the link to the post http://ow.ly/1vmvp. Please read this post before reading my thoughts on what she wrote.
A person should always have God first in their life. God will always be there for you and provide for your your needs all you need is faith in him. There is no power greater than the faith in God. I will give a quick summery of scripture my friend quoted from Luke 12: 22-34.
In this scripture Jesus is talking to his disciples. He is telling them that what you do not have God will provide for you. All you need in faith in God. Nations in the world world seek things but you do not need these things all you need to do is seek "the kingdom of God." By doing this God will provide for you. Jesus says also that you don't need the material world you need faith in God and he will be with you always in your heart.
My friend is right we do need to worry about our government now. The leaders in Congress and this Administration have this great country of ours headed toward socialism and communism. We as a people need to stand together and fight this so that we can keep our country as it always has been and intended to be by our Founding Fathers.
If our Founding Fathers saw what is happening now it would destroy them because this is not what they intended when they where building this country and government. Our founding Father always had God first and foremost in their lives and this is how they formed our government. Let me give you a few great quotes from them:
1. "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness."- Thomas Jefferson
2. "God governs in the affairs of man. And if a sparrow cannot fall to the ground without his notice, is it probable that an empire can rise without His aid? We have been assured in the Sacred Writings that except the Lord build the house, they labor in vain that build it. I firmly believe this. I also believe that, without His concurring aid, we shall succeed in this political building no better than the builders of Babel"- Benjamin Franklin,
3. "Two things that made America great
(1) Christianity
(2) a Constitution formed under Christianity.
“The Christian Constitutional Society, its object is first: The support of the Christian religion. Second: The support of the United States.”- Alexander Hamilton,
4. "It is impossible to rightly govern the world without God and Bible.”- George Washington.
As you can see here by these few quotes God was first and foremost in their lives and this is how they formed this great country and made our government. What is happening now in Washington is making out Founding Fathers turn over in their graves.
We can all make sacrifices in our lives if we want to no matter how busy we are or what we are doing in our lives.
I also received a email from Newt Gingrich that I would like to share with everyone now. It is about the late Pope John Paul II. This talks about his fight to end communism in his home country of Poland. This something that you should read. I found it to go right along with what my friend was talking about in her post. Here is a link from my email:
Newt Gingrich on Pope John Paul II
What newt Gingrich wrote here about Pope John Paul II is relevant to what is starting to happen here today.
I stand beside my friend in what she wrote because it is true and I support her.
