If You Have Been Sleeping, Time to Wake Up!!

I have not posted in more than a month. That’s not to say that you’ve necessarily missed me, but it’s mostly because I just could not decide what to write about. Part of me didn’t want to write about politics again, but let’s face it, these are extraordinary and even dangerous times in America.

I’m sure I am no different than any of you. Life is busy with important things, events that demand our attention and energy. I believe that all of us care about the country, but too many of us (me included) have long been telling ourselves that though we are concerned about what is happening in our culture and in the halls of power, there is still time to deal with it. Besides, isn’t God in control of all of this anyway?

Yes, God is in control. And His plans will succeed in His time and in His way. However, I truly believe that whatever God plans for America will be accomplished through those that trust him. And I really cannot believe that it is part of any plan of God that his children simply sit back and hope for the best. I do not for a moment think that God has some irreversible design that America go the way of the Roman Empire. I most certainly do believe that God will not spare us that fate if we walk the same road as every other nation in history that has tried to prosper without Him.

Because I believe these things, and because I am certain that our “leaders” have brought us to the edge of the abyss, I want to ask you to do something. It is time to wake up, ask some honest and tough questions, and then act on the answers we get. I know that we have jobs, and kids to raise, and yes, even a Gospel to proclaim. Please do not misunderstand me – I am not asking us to arrogantly attempt to change God’s eternal priorities. I am merely saying that we have too long fooled ourselves into thinking there would always be time to act, time to stop the enemies of liberty, time to do it after we have our lives all in order. We simply don’t have time anymore to put this on the back burner! The time to act is now.

What am I talking about? What is so important, so urgent? Well, rather than go on and on and risk doing a terrible job of explaining, I am going to let someone more capable fill in the details. I will ask you to please take the time to do a little reading and watch a few short video clips. Most of you are probably familiar with radio/TV talk show host Glenn Beck. I have been listening and watching him for a few years now, and quite simply, he does a better job than anyone I know of telling the truth and letting the chips fall. He also has the same deep concern for our future as you and I do.

Mr. Beck has a daily TV show on Fox News. The show airs at 4PM local time, so I have to record it and watch it later (as many of you would). This week, he has been doing a series of shows about the “czars” in the Obama administration. He has revealed their backgrounds and beliefs using their own words. There has also been a great deal of attention to the organizations that these people are aligned with, as well as how they are tied to the President. The repeated goal of these shows has been to pose some simple, but critically important questions that need to be answered for the sake of our future a free nation. Does that sound like hyperbole to you? Probably. Aren’t we tired of all the negativity? Certainly. All I’m asking you to do is examine the evidence yourself. Isn’t it worth a few minutes of our time to judge the true nature of the times? If you have paid any attention at all, you have heard about the “town hall” meetings that have been happening around the country. Perhaps it has occurred to you as it has to me that something unusual is going on. Americans are a little more engaged than normal. Could something really important be on the horizon?

Judge for yourself. Then act accordingly. Perhaps you and I are in this place, at this time, for just this reason. Do we really think the generations that God may yet raise up will live free if we do nothing?

Do we expect fresh water from a salt water spring?

Let me know what you think, and more importantly, what you will do with the truth. God Bless.
