Absolutely! Time for refreshing, but to do that WE NEED A VISION! "We" means FATHERS need a vision. Government is not God and it CANNOT TAKE THE PLACE OF RESPONSIBLE LOVING FATHERS AND MOTHERS.
The Bible defines the role of parents and it is the foundation of wise, loving, COMPITENT parenting. But parents
and the clergy have allowed the government to create a curriculum in their government schools that has TOTALLY ABOLISHED THE TRUTH ABOUT LOVE, WISDOM, COMMON SENSE, AND COMMON DECENCY. Now we have parents incapable of standing on the Truth that underlies civilized society and we have weak clergy who refuse to preach in a manner that clearly obliterates the nonsense in government schools and disfunctional families.
I repeat,
the last three or four generations have not been empowered with a vision of the Truth about love, virtue, wisdom, justice, and courageous faith. Therefore, to "refresh the government" with the least amount of blood, WE NEED GOD AND HIS TRUTH TO PREVAIL IN THE BATTLE, othewise we may wind up with something worse than the advance of godless socialism.
It falls in the lap of Christian leaders.... They must teach the Truth about love compitently and fearlessly. God (love) hates sin and ignorance, but His Word is good news. The Gospel of the kingdom of God is a good thing. It restores man to a love and knowledge of righteousness, civility, compassion,
and education (renewal of the mind). The unregenerate in the streets AND IN GOVERNMENT need a correction. Only when fathers know their role, are allowed to take it back, and are courageously capable of standing on it and doing it, will we succeed in being THE LIGHT FOR THE LOST.
We don't need a father in government! We need a Father in heaven, which is "within you," IN YOUR HEART AND MIND!!!! Lk 17:21NIV A father who has the Father within him is a wise, loving, capable, and compassionate father. He is slow to anger, but when nonsense and evil threatens the lives and hearts of his loved ones, you will see the fire in his eyes as he proceeds to
protect and teach his loved ones. Lk 22:36
Fatherlessness and crime is a scourge devouring our country.... Hmmmm... ponder the fact that Obama did not have a Godly father taking care of him and teaching him.... Barak believed the socialist lies and the niave utopia fed to him by the godless elite in higher education and by his niave confused mother.. Come on, clergy! Wake up! You have got to picture it in your mind, Mt 5:8. What would this country look like with wise, loving, compitient, and courageous fathers? And mothers!
