YEAR SIXTEEN
The following from July 3, 2012 wasn't a post...but a preface to a post. I thought that I would bring it back today.....five years later.....and sixteen years to the day of September 11th, 2001:
I will, Lord willing, put out the flag tomorrow morning, the same thing that I do six days of the week, Sundays being the only day that I won't do this, for I want to give no opportunity for mixing politics, even patriotism, with that special day given to us...The Lord's Day...a gift in the form of a commandment. But that's me. Tomorrow is also Independence Day, I will be remembering but I won't be celebrating for that would be like passengers of the Titanic toasting its christening even as the icy water poured into hold after hold after hold. But that's also me.
It is a time in America for introspection, for meditation, for repentance and for work...not for celebrating, not now, not as the cracks in our foundation threaten the very integrity of our constitutional republic, not as belief in our creator, our benefactor, our sustainer and our God is held up to ridicule, not as much of the Christian church sits as the British steamship SS Californian, oblivious to the Titanic's distress signals pleading for help.
I am not alone in giving this clarion call, for it comes from other Americans who have not been distracted by the trivialities of life, and have thus seen the trap door fall open on a Trojan Horse. The warning comes from other Christians who have read of the first temple in Jerusalem that was once filled with the glory of God, and who take no solace in that which is often masked as Christianity today. The warning also comes from Europeans who have already seen their liberty suffocated in the false compassion of multiculturalism. Scoff if you wish but there is ample evidence available to us that we are not what we once were, that our antivirus software has expired, and that our God has given us sign after sign of His displeasure.
