When God is Removed from Government

Democratic Congresswomen Jan Schakowsky agrees with Obama on a recent interview, Americans are too stupid to understand the complicated debt ceiling and social security threat while she can’t seem to explain it herself. Democrats like Barney Frank and Chuck Schumer give us the Fannie Mae and Freddie Mack failures using them as a Ponzi scheme to make them and their friends millions at our expense while Fed Chairman Ben Bernacke assured everyone that they were solvent all the time siphoning money into Democratic coffers. Meanwhile while our economy falters Democrats give us billion dollar stimulus programs that end up in Democrat pockets and their supporters. Well, what should we expect when we have people from Chicago running things?

Even though the major media tries to make them look good, they are failing! The economy is in the tank and going downhill fast. Unable to hide the truth any longer glimmers of what is really happening are leaking out. Economics experts are saying “US Economics System Near Collapse”. Peter Schiff, CEO of Connecticut based brokerage Euro Pacific Capital, recently said, “I think that all the talk about default is really an admission that the United States is running a gigantic Ponzi scheme.”

When you have over 50% of the American people on the take from a liberal government, you can bet liberals are going to blame our economic woes (woes that they mostly caused for the sake of power) on the rich. They never seem to say that all the Democratic Congress are rich themselves and they are great at spending other people’s money but never their own! However, there is a reckoning coming – and it is not just political.

In case you think this is political and not spiritual understand that to God every action of man has a spiritual base. That is why every political action needs to be held up to the light and scrutiny of Scripture.

Our blessings, all of them, are from God. He blessed us because we confessed Him and followed His rules for living. We were at one time a righteous nation. That means we honored honesty and a man was only as good as his word.

He whose walk is blameless and who does what is righteous, who speaks the truth from his heart and has no slander on his tongue, who does his neighbor no wrong and casts no slur on his fellowman, who despises a vile man but honors those who fear the LORD, who keeps his oath even when it hurts, who lends his money without usury and does not accept a bribe against the innocent. He who does these things will never be shaken. – Psalm 15 (emphasis added)

Few lawyers and laws were needed because a man’s word was his bond – but that day is past, especially in politics. Today, politicians say anything to get elected and then forget about it when convenient. The many procedural votes they take on any bill to get it passed are exactly so they can say “I voted for it before I voted against it!” or vice versa. It is meant to fool the voters, but God will not be fooled –

But I tell you that men will have to give account on the day of judgment for every careless word they have spoken. – Matthew 12:36 (Jesus)

Well, I just want to say “Not all Americans are too stupid to understand the debt ceiling and Social Security!” American’s were promised that money would be taken from their pay checks and put into a secure trust fund for their retirement, and that it would earn interest. Instead the Congress, both Democrat and Republican took the money and spent it, leaving an IOU in place of it. Now we find out that the IOUs are worthless. That is stealing in my book and I’m quite sure it is in God’s book as well! As for the debt ceiling any reasonable person can understand you can’t spend more than you take in; that is not for long. You must have a balanced budget!

When Congress is exempt from the very laws they pass for the rest of us that is not a Republic form of democracy, it is tyranny. When they vote themselves raises at a time the rest of the country is out of work (true unemployment is now around 15%) and going broke, that is certainly not representative government! When they vote themselves great retirements, even after two years of service, that is more totalitarian than democratic.

The people of ancient Israel are a good example for us. They were not satisfied with God’s government; they wanted a king like the other nations had.

They said to him, "You are old, and your sons do not walk in your ways; now appoint a king to lead us, such as all the other nations have." [God told Samuel] Now listen to them; but warn them solemnly and let them know what the king who will reign over them will do." Samuel told all the words of the LORD to the people who were asking him for a king. He said, "This is what the king who will reign over you will do: He will take . . . for his own use. He will take a tenth of your flocks, and you yourselves will become his slaves. When that day comes, you will cry out for relief from the king you have chosen, and the LORD will not answer you in that day." – 1 Samuel 8:5-18 (emphasis added)

There is a lesson here for us – if you want the government to do everything for you, you will become its slaves and will only have what the government says you can have. We are nearly there now. No one in America owns even their own house, they are simply renters. If you don’t pay your real estate taxes (rent) on your property, you will soon find out that I’m right on this!

I urge you to do two things: (1) Turn back to God whole-heartedly as He is the only One who can help us, and (2) Stop listening to the seductive voices of those who promise you everything for your vote. They can give nothing that they do not take from someone else and you will end up in slavery.
