I wrote this waiting for a flight this past fall and finally decide to share with my DRTV family. I have something else swirling around in my head from spending his past year working gun shows for my state gun rights organization... But it's WIP

UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES.
The condition we find the country in today is a result of the New Deal which was an intended improvement on FDR's New society. Failure of America's clergy and a back lash against Prohibition led to a secularization of our culture. No longer are our poor expected to work for their food and housing. No longer are spouses expected to remain married "for better or worse,
In sickness or health". Immorality in our leaders is tolerated even condoned. The first Justice removed from the SCOTUS was removed for using profanity! If you really want to know what happened to our country you need look no further than our churches. With 80% of Americans professing to be Christians you would expect to see churches full to over flowing every weekend. Yet there seems to be plenty of parking available. Why is this? Sure we have other things we'd rather do than sit for an hour or two listening to a preacher or would we? What if the content of the sermons was so intriguing, applicable, relevant and impairing that nothing on Tv could compete? What if we had preachers we would literally follow into battle? Don't laugh our first skirmish in the Revolution found a preacher and his parishioners fighting the British. Where are the leaders in the church today, the modern equivalent of the Black Robe Regiment? It's not our preachers fault entirely though, we haven't supported them like we should. Nor have we demanded the Gospel unfiltered and injected into our lives and government.
Daniel Webster said that the qualities that make a man a good Christian also make him a good citizen. Ben Franklin also said that our Constitution was written for a moral and religious society and was wholly inadequate for any other.
If we are to take back our country we need to take back our churches from the progressive secularists. Then we need to encourage our ministers to set aside the fear of losing their non-profit classification and engage in the political arena from a Biblical perspective.
