Religion of Politics; which one must we follow?
Adhering to the Grace of God when all seems to be lost
As we round the corner of sin in its tenets of evil, the future this nation is approaching shows that more people have lost their way to God’s grace. The sad reality of this occurrence is most of those without any semblance of God have never heard of grace from a spiritual perspective.
If they had received instructions on what grace is they surely would not have wandered away from the supernatural connection that is God. However, we must acknowledge that our society has drifted away from what our real enterprise of succeeding in life is only a particle of what our creator had in mind for humanity. God never decreed that we would just sit and pray and let everything around us just take the route of passiveness. In fact from Genesis God told Adam; “Because you listened to your wife and ate from the tree of which I had forbidden you to eat , Cursed be the ground because of you! In toil shall you eat its yield all the days of your life. Thorns and thistles shall it bring forth to you, as you eat the plants of the field. By the sweat of your face shall you get bread to eat, until you return to the ground from which you were taken: for you are dirt, and to dirt you shall return.” (Gn 3: 17 - 19).
Of course this is a promise that we shall work for all the needs of humanity. But, in spite of this requirement we still need God and here is where the supernatural touch of the Holy Spirit presenting the grace of God into our lives is a must to eradicate the sin that so easily confronts us. Here is the contradiction of just working for wealth and pleasure is all we need; as finite creatures to live our lives. What has happened to our center of living in the peace of God now is facing a world filled with the control of socialism that threatens the freedoms God gave us. Sin has entered and socialism is turning into communism by the manner our young have adopted and that is Marxism in the making.
Throughout history any society that forgoes the presence of God and the desire to achieve success with the help of God, has failed A quick look at Marxism: A social, political, and economic philosophy named after Carl Marx. It examines the effect of capitalism on labor, productivity, and economic development and argues for a worker revolution to overturn capitalism in favor of communism. Leaving our current situation where the uprising of so many are willing through anarchy to change the governing class to a personal idea of communist control will destroy the very tenets our nation was built on. No more need to advance or have an individual initiative to do anything. The government will hand you what they deem as necessary for life, and there will not be a reason to excel in any endeavor. You now belong to the powers-that-be
What is left? Seek God in the lowest levels of despair and allow his grace to enter you life with guidance from his Holy Spirit. That is one entity that never goes away and the result will be a path back to God.
