1 Samuel 8 tells about Israel asking for a king. God tells them clearly the pitfalls of that request but they insist so God gives them what they want. Of course, God was correct and the troubles ensue. Aaaahhhhh! You gave us what we wanted! Let's blame God for all of this! There is nothing new under the sun.
A constitutional republic requires self-discipline. Just like in Scripture, the PTB start making laws to cover every ridiculous situation because people would not exercise self-control. And chaos reigns. (Self control is the fruit of the Spirit - what does that tell us?)
Remember the scandal over Elvis' wiggling hips? Seems funny now but if it was stopped way back then, would we have all the smut over the airways today? Drip by drip the river grows until all at once it overflows.
A few years back God put on my heart a burden to pray for the children. As pointed out in that article - they are being raised on sinking sand and we wonder why they are not stable! Lord God, have mercy.
Someone sent me a text with this quote: "Do you remember, before the internet, that it was thought that the cause of collective stupidity was the lack of access to information? Well . . . it wasn't that."
I have a couple of videos to recommend - Start with America - Dinesh D’Souza and then get Agenda - Grinding America Down and the sequel - Agenda 2 - Masters of Deceit. America you can get on Amazon and the others too but I prefer to buy Agenda from their website. https://www.agendadocumentary.com
