The Truth, the Whole Truth and Nothing but the Truth

If there's any evidence of editorial opinion in this article I haven't found it. It stands on its own as a factual account of the parallels that exist between where we are presently in the United States of America and where history shows we are likely to go if we stay on this path of self destruction. As was said at the beginning of the article: For those who fail to read and heed the lessons of history, they are inevitably doomed to repeat it.
And so it is that we the people of the United States of America are seemingly mindlessly and helplessly proceeding on a path of self destruction in a moral and political sense. Political Correctness seems to be the key operative terms applied to just about anything that offends the sensibilities of most. It of course connotes nothing vis-a-vis the truth rather it is simply an act of appeasment, passivity or a go along to get along mentality, i.e. conformity with what is perceived as the direction the herd is going even if over the proverbial cliff.
Pragmatism/Relativism and Pantheism/Pluralism are indeed melding together as the dominant guiding forces in our country. I fully expect that Shariah Law will soon be proposed as the basis for our jurisprudence thus displacing the holy decologue, Ten Commandments, which were the foundational basis for American law from its beginning.
While there may still be time for political action to stop our slide into darkness, namely the 2010 midterm elections, the time may soon arrive when more forceful action will be required to rescue our beloved nation from the internal threat it now faces.
All great nations/empires in history that were eventually swept into the dustbin of history did so not as a result of some external threat and conquest but from internal decay which was acknowledged by all but continued on nonetheless to finality. Are we fiddling while Rome burns? The truth always trumps a lie and always prevails. We have but to seek it out and use it to our advantage. That was never more true than in politics where the truth is almost always the first casualty due to the sinful nature of man.
There has always been a source of absolute truth, the Word of God. No Christian worth his/her salt should ever fall for the stupid pragmatist notion that truth is relative. Even those who claim absolutely that there is no absolute truth have thus trapped themselves in their own web of deceit.

The problem with American's is that we allow thing to fester until it's almost too late then we act. The good thing is that we do act....eventually. The parallel that we should see is between the old Soviet Union and what has been happening in this nation.
We live in a democratic republic where we elect our leaders. It is our responsibility to stay on top of our leaders and let them know how we stand on the issues. It's also
important that we un-elect those who don't
represent us as we desire and need.
We have cable news channels that harp 24/7 about their opinions usually as an offshoot of their own management. We accept this as actual news when it is simply one organization or person's opinion. The Fox is in the henhouse so to speak. We must research things for ourselves and find out the truth on things that really count. We need to make informed decisions on who we vote for and why. Not on labels placed on people by the opinionated of our society. Especially those on the aforementioned cable channels.
Even this site has an agenda which is primarily one persons opinion. It's his site and he can say what he wants and present material to support his thesis. Smart people will research beyond this as well. There is two sides to coins and this is one side.
The bottom line is this. We can all sit around and complain and talk about all the "socialism" as well as "anti-Christian" stuff happening in our world. We can find sites like this one that adds to our volume of thougts along these lines. Or, if we really feel threatened, we can act. Act by literally getting involved in local, state and even federal government. By getting involved in a local church beyond just sitting there on Sunday or whatever day one would attend. Become a total citizen!! Research the issues, talk to those who are decision makers and breakers. Read lots of material.....tons available at the scroll of a mouse and click of a button.
Above all, Christians should finally become who we are supposed to be. What did Jesus teach us during his time on earth? What does it mean to really be a Christian?
To really follow Jesus and to live a God approved existence.
Think, read, live, love and pray!!!! Above all .... ACT!! Honestly, it ain't that difficult.

God is Sovereign, preach the gospel...that will get you in trouble enough. Stop worrying about it. Either people will repent or Christians will be killed. Why should we be in a different circumstance than any other Christian in the world?

This information ought to be a wake-up call to the sleeping church in America. I wish everyone who read it would send it along to everyone in their sphere of influence.
