[N]either the wisest constitution nor the wisest laws will
secure the liberty and happiness of
a people whose manners are universally corrupt.
(Samuel Adams Source: William V. Wells, The
Life and Public Service of Samuel Adams (Boston: Little, Brown, & Co.,
1865), Vol. I, p. 22, quoting from a political essayby Samuel Adams published in The Public Advertiser, 1749.)
Scripture
I, wisdom, dwell with prudence,
And I find knowledge and discretion.
“The fear of the Lord
is to hate evil;
Pride and arrogance and the evil way
And the perverted mouth, I hate.
Counsel is mine and sound wisdom;
I am understanding, power is mine. Proverbs 8:12-14 NASB

American Soil-R Swift
Everybody got question, what’s going on in this world
They say the youth is crazy, we better pray for em, but they
just walk the path we lay for em
So let me talk about it for a minute, you with me!
In 99 shots rains out of Columbine, move to 2005 ten shot
from Red Lake massacre, and in 07 Success Tech in Cleveland, and more that 34
High school shooting between them,
And everybody wants a reason, to the madness, but what we
sow in the past is what we reaping, I know its hard to grasp, or even
fertilize, so let’s travel back the way is started at
When atheist delusional, the hate for God fuel, and push
their view that praying at school is unconstitutional
Evil had them fool, Supreme Court ruled in favor of bible
and prayer was taken out of schools
We basically told God to leave and let us speak, at least in
our schools we don’t need the discrepancies
In other words we told Him to back off, but only if we knew
what we ask for
Now fast-forward, back towards this day and age, mass
students is fill with dismay and rage
Run up on campus and spray it with AK’s, and now all of
sudden we want to stop and pray
And it’s a shame if this is what it takes, other than
tragedies God doesn’t have a place
But we forsake Him regardless, and see less of God’s grace
for the sake of being Godless
You know it’s easy to point at the young people and say it’s
just them
They say the youth is crazy, we better pray for em, but they
just walk the path that we lay for em
But they just got it from us, this country it’s been like
that, from the beginning, could it be that whatever gets America spoil, till
some spill blood on American soil
This is America the land of the free, home of the brave
Build while breaking the back bones to slaves, Africans
Natives, be slanged and raped
Behold the foundation of the great place, consume by hate
and depreciation life
Took us from civil war to the lack of civil right, right?
Right here is what makes it tragic, sin is embedded in our
fabric
That’s why the things the we love is the things God hate,
things God love is what we negate
I think it’s safe to say, I mean we think God is cool but we
hate His ways
Just check our air ways, our media content is nonsense, look
at what we applaud, everything but God
Violence, sex outside the proper context, doing it how feel
as long as its good on your conscious
Politicians are slic, they will say almost anything to work
over the church votes to persuade and vote
People that leads us, trying to take God out of the pledge
of legions
That is till when we are face with terrorism, now we want
God heroism
And they say why God let bad things happen when its good
people, that is the point there is no good in us
I’m just saying, you know its crazy how we treat God, we
always place last
They say the youth is crazy, we better pray for em, but they
just walk the path that we lay for em
But they just got it from us, this country it’s been like
that, from the beginning, could it be that whatever gets America spoil, till
some spill blood on American soil
You know we always expect God to come and protect us, we
constantly telling him to back off
Get out from our face, we don’t need you
Its crazy right? But we expect him to step in when something
bad happens
The questions is always where is God? He was always here
where were you?
This is just something to think about
They say the youth is crazy, we better pray for em, but they
just walk the path that we lay for em
Sentence Prayer
Heavenly Father, we come before you today to ask Your
forgiveness and to seek Your direction and
guidance. We know Your Word says, "Woe to those who
call evil good,," but that is exactly what we
have done. We have lost our spiritual equilibrium and
reversed our values.
We confess:
We have ridiculed the absolute truth of Your Word and called
it Pluralism.
We have worshiped other gods and called it
multiculturalism.
We have endorsed perversion and called it alternative
lifestyle.
We have exploited the poor and called it the lottery.
We have rewarded laziness and called it welfare.
We have killed our unborn and called it choice.
We have shot abortionists and called it justifiable.
We have neglected to discipline our children and called it
building self-esteem.
We have abused power and called it politics.
We have coveted our neighbor's possessions and called it
ambition.
We have polluted the air with profanity and pornography and
called it freedom of expression.
We have ridiculed the time-honored values of our forefathers
and called it enlightenment.
Search us, Oh God, and know our hearts today; cleanse us
from every sin and set us free.
Guide and bless these men and women who have been sent to
direct us to the center of your will. I ask it in the Name of Your Son, the living Savior, Jesus Christ.
Amen. (Pastor Joe
Wright)
