Preface: The following post is from February of 2016....the national debt was under $20 trillion. It is making news today as it is now $28 trillion....and counting!
So.....You Are In College
You are in college....with your whole life in front of you...facing the same problems and stresses that previous college students have had to deal with....some problems of great distress and some rather insignificant. This is most certainly not a dull age but the everyday news excites rather than mortifies as it should. It tweets a song that may pique interest but it should be terrifying to anyone who has any discernment at all! This election is viewed as entertainment with participants Hillary Clinton, Donald Trump, a self proclaimed socialist, a born again Christian...a gentle neurosurgeon and a Mouseketeer? Could it get any better than that? It's going to be a very interesting eight months! Or so we have been duped into believing, and unfortunately it is of such a false hope that we have en masse chosen to take refuge within.
In truth this election cycle is the 'oldest established, permanent floating Crap game' in Washington D. C., a mob scene that only God can bring order to. That order would have to start with us. We would recognize that no man, no prince, no military might could possibly right this country of ours. We would recognize most of these candidates as the con-artists that they are and the news media as complicit in their con. It was our indulgence of every destructive desire and every charlatan claiming to be our friend that turned our constitutional republic into a banana republic. It could only be a national humbling and repentance that might at least set us on our feet to face what is ahead.
So, once again, you are in college. If only you knew what higher education in America has devolved into! If only you could fathom the national debt, smell the odorous fumes of our culture, hear the tumult in the streets, feel the earth shaking and see the totalitarianism approaching from just beyond the horizon! More importantly, if only we as a people would heed the words of the Psalmist in..."let the humble hear and be glad....Oh, taste and see that the LORD is good. Blessed is the man who takes refuge in him!"
