Living under Love

Our blog is not here so that we can argue about politics or religion and we will not allow this to become that. However, it seems so foolish to forget who we are and how we got to where we are. I think the greatest struggle our country faces is not the collapse of the financial industry or the housing market, it's not the rise in unemployment. I believe our great struggle is the growing spiritual poverty and moral deficiency of the people. People are mean. Meaner than I have ever known them to be. They are hateful and perpetually ungreatful for what they do have. Even on America's worst day, we are more blessed and have been given more opportunities than anywhere else in the world. As Christian's we have been given so much and this idea that somehow we are entitled to anything is so contrary to everything Jesus describes a Christian should be. We are not entitiled to anything. Everything we have is a blessing. It's a gift. God promises to take care of His children and in my experience I have always known Him to do exactly that. My God has proven Himself time and time again. There are things I don't understand but I have learned to accept that I don't have to. "His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me."
