Lets Spend it All.

I can't help but think that our government is like little kids playing in the mud.  They're telling each other how dirty each of them has become, but no one is willing to get out of the mud puddle. Whose to blame? I don't think it matters, it probably goes back many generations, and the debt was just passed on from one generation to the next, always hoping somehow someone would come up with a plan.  Well guess what?  It's judgement day, and America has to face it's entitlements, taxes, and over spending by the government. 

Here is a great website for you get a graphic look at just how immense this debt of ours has become.

The way we live out our financial lives is similar to how we live out our spiritual lives. We don't take anything serious because we always have an out. We can always get a loan for our debt, or put it on a credit card, and if you're the government you just print more money. However, there comes a day of reckoning where you have to face your lack of responsibility. Some go bankrupt, while others get foreclose on, or if you're the government you just try to raise the debt ceiling so you have more time to put off the day of financial judgement.  You know that there is no out for this immense debt, why can't we be honest. If we sold California  to Mexico, and put the state of New York on the auction block, hoping the Europeans would buy it, we might start making some head way out of this financial mess our country is in. No matter what we hear coming from Washington, the truth of the matter is we are heading toward the establishment of a one world government and a leader who will solve all of these financial woes. That might sound too simple for you, but that's what the Bible teaches. My question is, are we getting the right kind of Biblical, and spiritual perspectives from our spiritual leaders so that we will be able to discern the times and prepare accordingly? 

Prepare accordingly?  What does that mean? It simply means that many of our Christian leaders are no leaders at all.  They choose to accent on safe issues, and culturally acceptable issues, but will not touch the issues that divide.  All I can say, is "coward." We have bred leadership to want consensus, and teamwork, and uniformed acceptance.  You can never rule, govern, or lead from consensus.  You can not appease everyone, because there are too many opinions that conflict with your decisions. Can you imagine Moses at the Red Sea leading my consensus? What do you think would have happened?  No crossing....back to Egypt, it's easier this way.

What about Jesus and the cross.  "Gosh Disciples, what do you think?  These Jewish leaders are trying to kill me, what's your advice?"  Yeah, you are right, they would have fled for their lives taking the easy way out.

There is no easy way out of our government debt.  As Americans we spent the money, and passed the debt off from one generation to another, and now we are having to face our neglect. I am sure we will pass the debt ceiling, and it will drive us further into debt, and that is inevitiable at this point in our history. Here is the truth on the debt, we are so far into it, we will never, yes I said never, get out of it. I think it is designed that way by God.  He has given us over to our own ways, and those ways have bankrupted us, and placed us in a no win situation.  God have mercy upon us. 

Our solution as a nation is to return to God.  His favor upon us would help us gain the courage to face our sinful ways, repent, be forgiven and restored.  Outside of a revival back to God, we might as well keep spending, we've too far gone to change anything without Him.

Keeping it honest and truthful....K
