Let’s hope God will bless America
To the editor:
We live in a world of nuclear giant and ethical ignorance. We’ve embraced the deadly atom and rejected the Sermon on the Mount. We revel in the face of killing babies in the womb. And, we take the position that the Supreme Court has the authority to overrule the laws inscribed in the Bible. We act as if sin is not shameful, and we conduct ourselves with reckless abandon, without caring about consequences or how our actions impact on either morality or the laws of God. And, yet, despite all of this and more, we have the nerve to mumble “God Bless America,” as if he is oblivious to our actions and doesn’t care about our blatant disrespect. I don’t pretend to know what God is thinking, as He watches pompous arrogant people conduct themselves in a way that surely offends Him, but I do feel certain that we have crossed the line and we are in a danger zone that could serve to produce, if we’re not careful, a disaster for generations to come. Some may say how can we be sure God exists. Where is the proof. And, why should we be concerned. Daily we are faced with the miracle of life and the mystery of death, of the glory of flowering trees, the magnificence of the star-filled sky, the magnitude of mountains and of the sea. Who conceived the law of gravity by which everything is held in its proper place. And, who ordered the day and the night and the regular procession of the seasons. The only possible answer is that all these things and many more are the work of a supreme creator. Our precision like universe has a great designer…and we call Him God. it’s irresponsible and dangerous to disrespect God and His laws and if we want to be a nation deserving of His grace, not His wrath, we need to obey His word, before it’s too late. Only fools challenge His authority.
