I have been amused with the process of town hall meetings regarding the President’s healthcare initiative. I am probably a conservative on most everything in life but seem to lean a bit left on many social issues. I really have tried to find a positive perspective on President Obama’s healthcare initiative, but well, I haven’t found a policy he has enacted that I agree with yet. Healthcare is critical, but we offer healthcare to every person in America today!
I cannot find one example of a government operated organization that is a shining example of efficiency or excellence, period. Postal services, TSA, IRS, Cash for Clunkers, just pick it and it’s screwed up if the government runs it. I don’t really care if it’s a Republican or a Democrat – More government is not a good thing.
Any attempt at taking this needed, and yet already provided care and placing it under the direct authority of an already abusive, pervasive government is a mistake.
I love America and I pray for and respect the office of the President of the United States, but I must say that from the Czars with great authority and no fundamental accountability to the healthcare giveaway to the 9 trillion dollar debt…Well this is a train wreck in the making.
I pray and trust that you will pray that the people of the good ole USofA will grasp the urgency of our great nation’s plight and seek God’s wisdom.
At the end of the day, everything comes down to worship. Do we worship our will or the God of all creation? Do we worship the political platform of convenience and wet finger in the air follow-ship or will we worship the Lord God.
You see, the worship part is found in the definition that the Bible gives of true worship; submission, service and reverence. We submit to the one who said that the greatest commandment is to love God and love others. We serve when we attempt to care for others and minister to others in the name of Jesus. We are reverent when we are in a constant state of awe of the God we worship.
So maybe we need to recognize our need for authentic worship in submission, service and reverence as a better solution to most of our crucial and most urgent issues we are facing in our dear country.
Be that person who chooses to make a difference in the name of Jesus today.
Peace, Chuck
