She stands on the side of the road, disheveled, broken, beat up, and abused. She seems dazed and confused about where she is, how she got there, or the way back home. She recalls her former beauty and with tear filled eyes whispers, “Look what they’ve done to me.” No longer respected, those who pass by ridicule and mock her, taking delight in her condition and adding to her misery. Still others likewise treat her who was once loved with disdain and contempt. She struggles to push forward down the road, but time and again finds it difficult to even catch her breath, wondering who, if any, will stop to help her. She feels robbed of her very soul, and contemplates if this could be the end as her lifeblood is drained from her. Many pass by her with sarcastic, indifferent, and arrogant smiles that appear to be taunting. Some don’t even notice her pleas for help being focused and distracted by their own problems. Sadly, many more are those who just don’t want to get involved saying, “Send someone else.”
She is Lady Liberty, America, land of the free and home of the brave. The mother of democracy. A city once set on a hill as a shining beacon of a God-fearing and God-honoring nation that gave light, hope, and served as a guide to the rest of the world whose freedom was being suppressed. A place where parents were able to raise their children without fear of government intervention. Where schools and colleges actually educated people in the basics needed to become functioning adults, not indoctrination centers for the latest socially accepted and politically correct perversion. A time when Disney produced family friendly G rated movies, not R rated Woke garbage, and story hour at the local library was told by grandmas, not drag queens. Where the most innocent and vulnerable among us were protected and not murdered before they were born or shortly afterwards. Boys were boys, girls were girls, men were men, and women were women, and everyone knew the difference. You knew which bathroom you belonged in, what clothes to wear, and what sport to play in. When you attended a wedding, you expected it to be between one man and one woman, performed by a legitimate clergy who at least quoted scripture and mentioned God’s plan for marriage, not someone self-ordained by the First Lesbyterian Church. Inflation was nonexistent, people could afford to buy a house, a car and gas for it, put good food on their tables, pay the bills, and still have a little money left over to spend on leisure. The only people who wore masks were crooks and thieves. Taxes were low, wages were high, and the Social Security Trust Fund was not at risk. You didn’t have to lock your doors, you knew your neighbors, and everyone looked after each other. You didn’t have to arrive hours before your flight. “Made in the USA” was the dominant label, not “Made in China”. We controlled the Panama Canal, owned our own farmland, drilled and produced our oil, gas, and diesel. The National Strategic Petroleum Reserve was full, and we didn’t have to buy it from foreign countries. Where the news media were actually unbiased journalists, not vomiting out a bunch of propaganda and calling it truth. The president was a genuine leader, not a puppet manipulated by the rich and powerful elitists behind closed doors. Our military was the greatest, a fighting force to be reckoned with that projected peace through strength not to be messed with. Instead, no thanks to the liberals, it has become just another LGBTQ failed social experiment. Churches stood for righteousness and those behind the pulpits preached the whole gospel, not watered down, half-truth, milk-toast, feel-good sermons absent of the Holy Spirit’s anointing and conviction. The police were respected and honored, and you had no reason to fear them if you were doing good and not breaking the law. Hardened criminals were put in prison and stayed there. Parents raised us to know right from wrong, good from bad, and there was such a thing as absolute truth. The American dream was alive and well and the opportunity to achieve your definition of it was there if you applied yourself. Everybody pulled their own weight, and we weren’t dependent on government handouts to meet our needs. If you took out a loan, you paid it off. People were hired, promoted, and elected because they were the most qualified, not a result of all this diversity, equity, and inclusion nonsense. Elections were trusted and secure, and people had enough common sense and discernment to see past all the lies, rhetoric, and gas lighting. Votes could not be bought or earned by opening the flood gates of our borders to those illegals who do not have the right to any benefits paid for on the backs of hard-working citizens, much less the right to vote. The Constitution didn’t need to be reinvented or reinterpreted by politically correct judges ruling from the bench. We aren’t stupid or illiterate, we know what it says. Democracy was defined by our founding fathers who wrote the Constitution, not by godless politicians, judges, and their Marxist buddies, facilitating their own misguided version of it, rewriting history, and destroying America. For what reason? It’s nothing less than their unquenchable thirst for power, control, and their own selfish gain regardless of the cost. These all are the ones who have cast America on the side of the road, and it is by design, because they hate her and what she stands for. Welcome to the new normal, or so they tell us.
The two most powerful words in the Bible are: “But God”. Meaning, He always gets the last and final word on everything, no matter how impossible and hopeless it may look to us on this side of Heaven. If America is to ever be restored to her former glory, it will be by His hand. However, He’s not going to just snap his finger and make it happen. He’s looking for some courageous people with a backbone to partner with Him. People like David, who was a teenager, yet single-handedly defeated Goliath the giant when everyone else cowered in fear. Daniel prayed even though the government made it a law not to. His friends Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego refused to bow down to the political mandates of their time. Elijah confronted evil and wickedness and saw God do the miraculous. Women like Esther who risked her life, and Deborah who led the men into battle. Gideon was just an average guy when God called him to defeat the Midianite army with only 300 men. And then there was Abraham, Noah, Moses, Nehemiah, Josiah, and so many others of faith who just believed God and didn’t waver or draw back. These all were not without their faults and failures, but God isn’t looking for perfect people, only for those who will say, “Yes” and avail themselves to be used by Him. You aren’t perfect, but are you available? You have a voice and a vote.
Statistics show that those who claim to be Christians are the largest group that doesn’t vote. They have the power to sway every election, but choose not to get involved. They are like those who see the tragic condition and hear the pleas of America as she cries out for help on the side of the road, yet passively drive by saying, “Send someone else”. My word to them is you are either a part of the problem because of your apathy, or a part of the solution because of your integrity. Gone are the days when you can afford to sit at the family table with friends or relatives in your own little bubble and say, “We don’t talk about religion or politics”. Maybe if you had, America wouldn’t be in the mess she’s in. Now is the time to let your voice be heard, because if the Democrats win this one, guess who they’re coming after first with a vengeance. If you truly are a Christian, know God and believe His word, how can you in good conscience support the Democrat party and their agenda? They aren’t the same party you, your parents, and grandparents have always voted for. Make America Great Again is Donald Trump’s call to arms to Fight! Fight! Fight! and it reflects the hearts and sentiments of millions across this nation who say, “We’ve had enough”. We must Win! Win! Win! The battle lines have been drawn and it’s about to get intense. Don’t listen to the lying Fake News or believe the skewed polls. From now until the election the current administration will perform some sleight of hand tricks and act like they are conservatives. This is right out of their playbook in order to appear more moderate and draw those in the middle off-sides. Don’t fall for it, they are radical leftist communists. If it looks, walks and quacks like a duck, it’s a duck. Stay the course, stand your ground. It’s no coincidence or by luck that President Trump’s life was spared on July 13th, narrowly missing an assassin’s bullet. It was a huge “But God” moment and should serve to remind us that He always gets the last and final word. Romans 8:31 What shall we say to these things? If God is for us who can be against us. Pray and vote on November 5th. Be that “Someone Else” who helps save America. She needs you now more than ever before.
