IT DOES MATTER, OR DOESN'T IT? Ruins of a Once Great Society Acceptable Conditions? Consider what we now have: A generated inflation, a war against fossil fuels (the life- blood of our country), an out-of-control border invasion, rising crime finding no punishment, the police handcuffed and defunded, criminals sent back to the streets, schools teaching CRT, gender and sex education, instead of reading, writing and arithmetic, free speech rights denied for political opponents, freedom of religion being threatened, an unhealthy society, drugs killing thousands, depression, suicide, etc. All of this in pursuit of a Marxist/socialist transformation, "The Great Reset," etc. Common sense, discerning truth from error, knowing right from wrong-such are no longer in style. Those in power have no interest in returning to the values of our Declaration and Constitution. The governmental system seeks to perpetuate the conditions which it creates, making recovery difficult. What the public ought to know is being deliberately concealed by the media. People are being controlled and forced to conform under the pretense of caring, which makes for an enslaved people. The Assured Consequences! These are the ingredients for troubled times. "Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!" (Isaiah 5:20). "We looked for peace, but no good came; and for a time of health, and behold trouble!" (Jeremiah 8:15). "He that believeth on Him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil" (John 3:18-19). "Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap" (Galatians 6:7). Those who mock will one day be shocked! The Approved Choice "There is no God else beside Me; a just God and a Saviour; there is none beside Me. Look unto Me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am God, and there is none else" (Isaiah 45:21-22). "I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live" (Deuteronomy 30:19). "Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by Me" (John 14:6). "But as many as received Him, to them gave He power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on His name" (John 1:12). "Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth My word, and believeth on Him that sent Me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life" (John 5:24).
