They don't understand what we are doing!

A friend sent me this quote today.

"Indeed, some people now claim that the Founding Fathers’ worst fear in connection with religion has been realized; that we have, in fact, a state-sponsored religion in America today. This new religion, adopted by many, does not have an identifiable name, but it operates just like a church. It exists in the form of doctrines and beliefs, where morality is whatever a person wants it to be, and where freedom is derived from the ideas of man and not the laws of God. Many people adhere to this concept of morality with religious zeal and fervor, and courts and legislatures tend to support it.

While you may think I am stretching the point a bit to say that amorality could be a new state-sponsored religion, I believe you would agree that we do not have to look far to find horrifying evidence of rampant immorality that is permitted if not encouraged by our laws. From the plague of pornography to the devastation caused by addiction to drugs, illicit sex, and gambling, wickedness rears its ugly head everywhere, often gaining its foothold in society by invoking the powers of constitutional privilege.

We see a sad reality of contemporary life when many of the same people who defend the right of a pornographer to distribute exploitive films and photos would deny freedom of expression to people of faith because of an alleged fear of what might happen from religious influence on government or public meetings. While much of society has allowed gambling to wash over its communities, leaving broken families and individuals in its soul-destroying wake, it reserves its harshest ridicule for those who advocate obedience to God’s commandments and uniform, inspired standards of right and wrong."
(M. Russell Ballard, “Religion in a Free Society,” Ensign, Oct 1992, 64)

October 1992! I would love to ask him what he thinks now and to update this comment to today's status.

November 2, 2010 is now 50 days away. This is the first official battle of Restoring America. The changing of a large percentage of Congress will only be the beginning of the long effort that it will take to win.

The victory on that day is looking good, but it will only happen if all of us, our families, our friends, our neighbors, our relatives and associates: register to vote, study the candidates and then vote for those candidates that want to restore America, have smaller government, adhere to the Constitution, increase state's and personal responsibility, will not lose their soul in Washington D.C. and will uphold principles and values in their service.

Many rallies have taken place during the last few weeks. The press, the White House administration and the old way incumbents laugh at them and talk about how ineffective they are and how disorganized, hateful, racist and radical they have been. They don't understand why there has been such a waste of time, resources and effort to put on these events.

Remember what I said about the parables a couple of weeks ago and how the enemies of Christ couldn't understand them. We are witnessing the modern day version of the same thing. Not that Christ is teaching! But those that know the truth and are teaching it are not being understood by those that hate the truth. They can't see how anyone is at risk of not being reelected; the old rule is the incumbent doesn't lose!

The elections will be a great win with our votes.

The lame duck session will be a great loss to our country and the Constitution. We will see more evil intentions and agendas transpire in one and a half months than we have seen in the last 18 years! Not all by Congress, administrative and executive rulings will be a large part of the evil to come.

Our efforts will need to be sustained for many years to stop and reverse the damage that has been done to our great country. Take a deep breath and get ready to work hard.

Our children, grand children and great-grand children will thank us and probably many more generations after. Returning this country to what it once was is our responsibility, we are the ones that let it drift so far from where it should be.

Ask for help from your Heavenly Father, stand firm where you should be and in your convictions, speak your mind, demand the truth and remember:
FAITH, HOPE and CHARITY!

May God Bless America!
