Subject: Fwd: We reap
what we sew....
The White
House referred to Christmas Trees as Holiday Trees for the first time this year
which prompted CBS presenter, Steven Levy, to present this piece which I would
like to share with you. I think it applies just as much to many countries as it
does to America.
A little sanity please...
Only hope we find GOD again before
it is too late!!
The following was written by Steven Levy and recited by him on CBS Sunday Morning Commentary.
My confession:
I don't like getting pushed around for being a Jew, and I don't think Christians like getting pushed around for being Christians. I think people who believe in God are sick and tired of getting pushed around, period. I have no idea where the concept came from, that America is an explicitly atheist country. I can't find it in the Constitution and I don't like it being shoved down my throat...
Or maybe I can put it another way: where did the idea come from that we should worship celebrities and we aren't allowed to worship God as we understand Him? I guess that's a sign that I'm getting old, too. But there are a lot of us who are wondering where these celebrities came from and where the America we knew went to.
In light of the many jokes we send to one another for a laugh, this is a little different: This is not intended to be a joke; it's not funny, it's intended to get you thinking.
In light of recent events...
terrorists attack, school shootings, etc.. I think it started when Madeleine
Murray O'Hare (she was murdered, her body found a few years ago) complained she
didn't want prayer in our schools, and we said OK. Then someone said you better
not read the Bible in school... The Bible says thou shalt not kill; thou shalt
not steal, and love your neighbor as yourself. And we said OK.
Then Dr. Steven Benjamin Spock said we shouldn't spank our children when they misbehave, because their little personalities would be warped and we might damage their self-esteem (Dr. Spock's son committed suicide). We said an expert should know what he's talking about.. And we said okay..
Now we're asking ourselves why our children have no conscience, why they don't know right from wrong, and why it doesn't bother them to kill strangers, their classmates, and themselves.
Probably, if we think about it long and hard enough, we can figure it out. I think it has a great deal to do with 'WE REAP WHAT WE SOW.'
Funny how simple it is for people to trash God and then wonder why the world's going to hell. Funny how we believe what the newspapers say, but question what the Bible says. Funny how you can send 'jokes' through e-mail and they spread like wildfire, but when you start sending messages regarding the Lord, people think twice about sharing. Funny how lewd, crude, vulgar and obscene articles pass freely through cyberspace, but public discussion of God is suppressed in the school and workplace.
Are you laughing yet?
Funny how when you forward this message, you will not send it to many on your address list because you're not sure what they believe, or what they will think of you for sending it.
Funny how we can be more worried about what other people think of us than what God thinks of us.
Pass it on if you think it has merit.
If not, then just discard it... no one will know you did. But, if you discard this thought process, don't sit back and complain about what bad shape the world is in.

“Please Listen”

A nation which denies
God
is no longer a nation
at all
allowing others
demanding
profaning the name of
Deity
and doing nothing
about it
calling upon the
Father
while being
non-obedient
decrying religion as
valid
except it be in
sports/tv
going to the movies
often
Sabbath’s no longer
holy
please listen then to
hear
what the Scriptures
proclaim
and what our nation’s
lost
at mortalities
terrible cost
as the Sabbath Day
no longer for the
Father
unable to pray in
faith
a nation dying from
within
allowing others to
demand
that there is no God!
