Email of the Week: Our Nation's Only Solution is God

By Douglas V. Gibbs

This morning, a writer responded to Wednesday's Article I wrote about the court system titled:
Supreme Court's Supreme Problems

Douglas, Happy Thursday!

Douglas, on April 15th, you said: "Americans have lost a lot of faith in government because government has become too big. "

I disagree. I believe that the thinking citizens have lost faith/confidence in USA government at all levels from top to bottom because it does not operate with a high level of ethics and/or honor. 

Soooo....

Nothing will fix the country, nothing will fix the ignoring of, or the ignorance of the Constitution unless/until the electorate returns to the morality held by the majority of citizens who existed at the time when the founders created it.

Fundamentally,...

It is not a political problem.

It is not a court problem.

it is not a judge problem

It is not a Constitution problem.

Douglas, fundamentally, it is a morality problem.

--Indeed, one of our Founders warned of this...that this nation needed a moral population/electorate and would otherwise fail.

And, the prideful, arrogant, lukewarmed, fearful, clueless, spineless and idolatrous so-called 'Christian leaders' are the reason that the electorate will not, generally, return to that needed morality.

--For all our sakes....May God turn their hearts and souls to only His desires for them and for all others: full cooperation with Him in earnestly learning how to live in obedience/holiness/righteousness.

David.

My response is below:

======================

David,

You are correct. Of course, when I said that America has lost confidence because of the size of government, that is not the end of that conversation. Big Government is the product we face as a result of no longer being a virtuous society, among other things. If I was to write about every single intricate part of the problem in that article, I'd be finished with another book.

That said, a quote I use often is by Benjamin Franklin. He said, "Only a virtuous people are capable of freedom."

John Adams said, "Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other."

So, I would say that this is all tied into being a political problem, a court problem, a judge problem, and a constitutional problem, but, as you have pointed out, all of those problems have arisen because we fail to follow a moral compass established by the Creator, and the Grantor of our rights. That is why right now my Constitution Association group is working on a church outreach program. As I have told my core leaders, without the churches, and the congregations, working with us in this war for the soul of America, we will lose it.

Yours is a very astute observation, and you are correct. This truth was simply not in the article you are referring to because it was not directly related to the point I was trying to make. Thank you for your readership (and listenership, I hope), and I appreciate the correspondence from you. Your passion is evident in the email's text. Thanks for fighting the good fight, and resisting evil at this time of great disobedience.

Blessings,
