Be God Controlled!

The loud and disruptive world takes a toll on ones sanity.  

Tolerance lacks consistency from every side of a belief.  

The truth one believes to be right may be called bigoted by someone who sees truth differently.  

Morals change with the wind and no longer have an identity of absolute.  

"In God We Trust" has as much value as the paper it is printed on.  

Conservative and liberal are two words that declare war on the other.  

"Christian" is no longer the saving grace; rather, it has become a stumbling block due to politics, social values or theological interpretations.  

We cannot blame a morally declining American on a bad President, Congress, teachers, preachers or judges.  The moral decline in America is due to the lack of a God Controlled home.  God has been pushed aside and self has been promoted to Controller-in-Chief.  

God no longer gets the first or last word, much less any words.  Our guiding principles in life are not God's Word; rather, they are our own words.  We've created our own truths to live by so that we will not feel pressure or guilt.  We have kicked God to the curb and rolled out the red carpet for Satan to take his place.  We've removed all signs of spirituality so that we can make room for the carnal life and all the joys it will bring to a guiltless and pressure free lifestyle.  

When God's control is replaced with my own control, we lose the fighting edge against the power of Satan.  God's control provides the armor to defend us against the spiritual attacks that will whittle away at truth, morals and ethical standards.  Satan's control will take away our freedom and shackle us to a life of sinfulness.  He will make it appear that his control gives us freedom, but in reality, it destroys us.

It is my belief that America only gets better when our homes are controlled by God and when the guiding principles are the ones Jesus taught and when prayers are said at the dinner table and at night before going to bed and when we wake up in the morning.  America is better when we teach truth as absolute and character isn't someone in a storybook; but rather, it's our honesty, goodwill, love for each other and the kindness we demonstrate to everyone.    Each home makes a difference and it begins with mine home, first!  Psalm 33:12, "The Lord blesses each nation that worships only him. He blesses his chosen ones."

Remember, Be God Controlled!
