Americans Looking For A Savior?
The Ignorant Fisherman
November 30, 2015
This Christmas millions in the United States are crying out to Government to do more and more to fix our social ills. Instead of Americans honoring and placing their trust in Almighty God as our founding fathers did, secularism, bureaucracy and the god of the state (i.e.,"Big" Government) has become our nation's false Savior and bedrock (Prov. 14:34, Matt. 7:24-27). The notion that “Big Government” has all of the answers and solutions we need in this very chaotic and unstable world is a fairy tale. It is one that is rooted in the mistaken belief that “fallen man” - through and by the efforts of Big Government or Socialism - can establish a Utopian society that will bring about security and comfort to all of its citizens. We as a world this Christmas need a Savior who is bigger than ourselves and who has the power to deliver PERFECTLY and RIGHTEOUSLY for the now and for ALL ETERNITY (Isa. 9:6-7, Micah 5:2). But horrifically we as a nation do not want Him!

The truth of the matter is that ALL Americans – whether conservative or liberal - must see the BIG PICTURE and see it from ETERNITY’S perspective. Fallen mankind - apart from Almighty God and His ETERNAL RIGHTEOUSNESS - no matter how sincere he is, can ONLY bring upon himself the consequences of his own unrighteous doings (Rom.1:18-32; 5:12-21).
Conservative values - which are based on the natural laws and moral absolutes) are tried and true and are thus the best ideology for containing the unbridled passions of mankind and preserving society for a healthy existence here in time. However, adhering to these values in this fallen world can NEVER bring about a Utopian state, even here in American.
One must see the “big picture” and rightly view the world in which we live today from Almighty God’s ETERNAL PERSPECTIVE. There are absolutely NO solutions or remedies for this fallen world (liberal or conservative) outside of Almighty God’s saving solution, which is ONLY found in His Son, Jesus Christ (John 14:6; Acts 4:12)!
What is truly insane about our day is that many conservatives and countless Americans are deceiving themselves into thinking that we can reverse this fiscal and decadent tsunami that has and is sweeping over and deluging our nation these last 60 years. Our culture and society today is near the brink of implosion by the secular and decadent practices which now permeate our once Judeo/Christian culture. Our American family unit is ravished beyond comprehension. Godless immorality dominates and reigns over our U.S. culture today, leaving in its wake a destructive and ravished landscape for all to clearly see.
