NCAA Tournament game symbolic of real madness in America

The basketball game between Western Kentucky and Mississippi Valley State that the president watched between talking politics and stuffing his face is symbolism at its best. Western Kentucky is the only team in the NCAA tournament with a losing record. The Hilltoppers were down 16 points and rallied in the last seconds of the game to win, despite shooting only 30% from the field and 28 turnovers. Mississippi Valley State with a record of 21-13 was totally embarrassed. Western Kentucky is symbolic of Congress and the White House on the way to victory in November despite a losing effort. Mississippi Valley State is symbolic of the American people who have the talent to stop them, but haven't the will to do it.

Read the headlines. Have you ever wondered why things are not getting better? The news media excuses the man who occupies the Oval Office by saying he doesn't have control over gas prices. In reality, the architect helping Islamists destabilize the entire Middle East should expect high prices. Now the Congressional Budget Office is saying socialized healthcare will cost $1.76 trillion over then next decade, twice what was originally pitched to taxpayers. The president is seen munching down hot dogs with British Prime Minister David Cameron at an NCAA basketball game--cost to taxpayers: over $365,000. America is being looted. Neither Congress, the media, nor the people find this unacceptable?

The Founders of this country based our Republican form of government on the Biblical principle found in Exodus 18:21, which says, "Moreover thou shalt provide out of all the people able men, such as fear YHVH, men of truth, hating covetousness; and place such over them to be rulers of thousands, and rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens." Perhaps John Jay, first Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, summed it up best when he said, "Providence has given our people the choice of their rulers, and it is the duty, as well as privilege and interest, of a Christian nation to select and prefer Christians for their rulers." And herein lies the problem.

The Christian community at large in America has been chasing too many self indulgent, extra-Biblical and emotional doctrines of men to be concerned with the decay of this nation. This is reflected even in the quality of candidates running for office. Unless the Christian community collectively repents, raises the standard of righteousness, and reestablishes accountability in all aspects of life, this nation will continue its downfall, for it is truly a reflection of the people. If it makes you angry that your life, liberty and happiness are not what they ought to be, a good start is found in Matthew 6:33, "But seek first the kingdom of YHVH, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you." We need to get back to our first love, otherwise we will perish as a people and as a nation.

Have a Blessed and Powerful Day!
