A Broken Nation

Every great nation in history has had it's own version of self destructive politics that became it's downfall over time. China had it's clan warfare. Rome had it's military leaders struggling for power. England had it's class warfare. And now I believe America is adding itself to that list with it's culture war.

Conservative vs Liberal

The great "national debate" as we like to call it. Although, in reality it's not a debate at all because no one's listening to the other side.

The truth is...the problem isn't our politicians (at least not all of it), the problem is the way in which we elevate criticism of our leaders as being healthy, when scripture says everything to the contrary.

The problem isn't leadership, it's followship.

Our nation is broken from the foundation up. And until we realize that promoting a culture of dissent isn't Godly we'll always have leaders who make decisions based on the poles instead of values.

Keep in touch for more thoughts on what scripture says about following authorities.
