Years ago in a comic strip the little opossum, Pogo, made this statement, "We have found the enemy and it is us." That is the problem in about every imaginable situation. We are our own worse enemy.
The most dangerous enemy that confronts us, as a free nation, is found within our own borders. We, as a nation, have come to the point- the same as a movie of a few years ago, "we are sleeping with the enemy." Many of the enemy are encamped within the confines of Washington, D.C. Congress is filled with men and women who have abandoned their promises of doing "the will of the people" and have their own particular agenda of promoting themselves. Until a new constitutional amendment is passed that prohibits congress from making laws that affect the citizens of the United States and does not affect them or prohibits them from making laws affecting them that does not affect the citizens of the United States we will continue to have problems. Congress needs to be under the same health care plan, retirement plan, and insurance plans as the average citizen of the country has. If they want more let them pay for it like everybody else.
The man in the White House is his own worse enemy. He would like to blame his problems on everyone else, but he is his enemy. He became irritated because of those who claimed he was born outside the United States. This could have easily been avoided by producing a birth certificate in the beginning and releasing all of his records pertaining to his work and education. He might also deflect much of the criticism about his being a Muslim by boldly declaring on national TV that he believes Jesus Christ is the Son of God. That is the mark that distinguishes a Christian. It is not if your name is on a church roll, or you follow a certain dogma, it is your belief in Jesus Christ as the Son of God.
The atheist crowd acts as if Christians were their enemy. It is hard to understand how something that does not even exist (that would be God in their mind) can even disturb their imagination. If that is not enough for them to worry about, try worrying about this. In Christian America they are free to choose to believe in God or not, but should the Muslims take over the country some day, they will be forced to, at least verbally, say they believe in a god or die. Who is the enemy here?
Inside the ranks of Christians I find that here we have become our own worse enemy. In our well intended attempt to live at peace and harmony with all men many have broadened our thinking and weakened our position by declaring that the Muslims worship the same God we worship. Sorry about that, but the last time I checked, the Christian God had a son that was dearly beloved, his name is Jesus. The Muslims deny that Jesus is their god's son. How can that be the same God.
It is time we recognize that we are our own worse enemy. Sometimes it is the termites on the inside of the church that do more damage than the woodpeckers on the outside of the church. They are so deadly because they are so quite about their work. It is past time that we let the Word of God be true and every man a liar. I MUST SAY IT!!!
