Many of us wonder and many of us are content at the way things are. I used to be the kind of person who questioned some things, I say somethings because it's hard to think of a word for some. I know that I never questioned the absolute. To question the absolute would mean spiritual suicide, even before I knew about God I had somewhat of a reverential fear for the person who created me. To think back on the life which is more than halfway finished, and to revel in the things that I've done and the things that I have yet to do, gives me pause to look at my life at the way that things are now. Of course no one is guaranteed tomorrow and that I will not repeat, but to live a life of regret has been something that I've always tried to avoid. Being loyal to my country has always been first priority in my life aside from my belief in a Diety. I was taught to be loyal to my country and to be loyal to my country means that I'm being loyal to my God.
There are many ways that this country has shown favor to me throughout my life during a period of wellness and also during a period of illness which is now. To say the opposite would be in contradiction to my own character and my own belief system. However when my belief system and my country begin to sort of mashed together, it gives me pause to reflect and to solicit the times that we are living in. This is not a? Because I do believe that as we are living our lives now, things are relatively the same as they were 20 years ago. Sure we have increased our connectivity and our technology, and we face dangers that were not being faced back in 1999, but relatively speaking human experience is still the same. What do we do when we want to give but we can't give? This is the question of these times. Some will say when I want to give I give my time my money my talent, when I don't want to give I feel guilty! But the dangers of the 21st-century lie not in our lack of humanitarian effort, but in the cultural climate that pervades our society that demands that things be always the same. When a new idea comes our way whether it is government issued or government sanctioned whether it is otherwise we tend to resist that idea. The Bible says resist the devil and he will flee from you, but how can we talk about Deities an anti-Dieties in a climate that resists the very concept. I am assuming that you live in a free country therefore do not resist her because she is free, however we should resist the principle that brings us into bondage whatever form that takes to the best of our measure. Principles that bring freedom should set a country on solid ground. Didn't the Bible say the gates of Hades shall not prevail against his church? So where do we look for truth in a climate that resists evil? We should look to religion not to the government.
The government is there to protect individuals, and to protect individual freedoms namely the freedom of religion. There should always be separation of church and state in a free society, but where a free society is in danger, The Constitution should always take first priority. I am not a zealot or a Zionist, I am a freethinker. And as a freethinker I choose to serve my country as well as my church. I do not see a contradiction in being a free thinker and also being a religionist. I think the two are very historical concepts. To give or not to give that is not the question, I see the question is do you think or not to think be it as it will. This is Mike.
