Unintended Consequences
« on: December 26, 2013, 11:04:11 PM »
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 ;D

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.

Hi;

     Glenn Beck tried to restart the Black Robe Regiment about a year before he left Fox. I do not know what ever happened to it.

     Most people are disgusted with churches/religions allowing LGBT types into thier churches, the mere presenence of a gay preacher is upsetting. Who is enforcing the Bible anymore ?

     For 6 days a week a person goes out and screws over anyone they can - gets up Sunday morning, cleans up and heads to church only to be seen for political and social contacts - I had family like that .....

     People say churches are for sinners...Well after a while and you dont stop screwing over everyone - its time to cast you out.

     Where is the need to go to a building and pray/talk to God ? I do it where ever I am at - at the time and usually it is in the cab of the company truck. Just how many poor preachers are there ?

     I am by no means a good Christian, But I do not act like I am nor do I think I have some better chance of getting into Heaven than anyone else.

     When I run into someone who states that they are a Christian and loves God etc, etc , etc.... I then know who is the first person there that will try to screw me over.

That is one of the most disappointing but true things I have seen in my life too, contractors have been the worst.

yep, more so when it comes to contractors,   Its sad but true.  Its a lot like how the real bad asses are, you never know what they can do. 
I always break all the clay pigeons,  some times its even with lead.
