The answer to the problems this world faces is a personal relationship with Jesus Christ and a commitment to live under the influence of the Holy Spirit.

With that being said there are some things that cause me concern:
- Using my tax dollars to kill pr-born babies is immoral.

- Using my tax dollars to educated our children in a socialist driven view and allowing those same tax dollars to go toward educating my children in values I hold dear is wrong and immoral.

- And yes, using my tax dollars to bail out corporations that were bankrupted by greed driven directors is wrong and immoral.

- I do not believe the government has the right to impose their moality upon me any more than I have the right to impose my morality upon others. An example is that the government does not have the right to tell me that I am not a good citizen of the world if I don't support their view the greenhouse effect on global warning. The government does not have the right to tell me where and when I can worship my God and with whom I can speak about my God.

MOre to be said as we go along....

There are plenty Christians that I know of personally that either hint at or have verbally expressed violence towards homosexuals.

I am glad that open homosexuality is not tolerated in the military. Most Christians I know would just as soon prohibit this abomination.

That ugliness is there, in part due to homosexuals trying to force the acceptance and justification of their behavior on heterosexuals unnecesarilly.



As far as interracial stuff and recent American Christianity, many folks still have hang ups that can not be Biblically backed up.


Denying that there are Christians that were glad to see that abortion Dr die recently is just not honest.


And for those who don't like their tax dollars going here and there, don't pay taxes!

Don't pay and rebel against the clear teaching of scripture: "Render unto Caesar which is Caesar and unto God which is God's."

But Jesus said this because the Holy Roman Empire was Holy and a shining light of righteousness and morality for its time!

Right???
