The Greatest Nation ... Falling Apart

There's no question America is the greatest nation ever founded but we have problems. Like any great society we seem to have lost our way. With political, economic, moral, sociological and spiritual problems destroying our way of life, it's a wonder our nation has lasted this long. I'm afraid we are in for a rude awakening - unless we radically change our way of thinking and life.

Here are just a few massive problems:

Overpopulation - We have a finite amount of space and with a rapidly expanding population we stand the risk of running out of room. Population control is NOT the answer. But we will have to develop alternative methods of agriculture in order to feed our residents.

Fossil Fuel Depletion - There's only so much oil and natural gas available. Alternative energy sources must be developed before we deplete fossil fuel reserves.

Global Terrorism - The threat from terrorism is greater than ever before. America must continue to lead the world in eradicating terrorism.

Water Supply - We live in a world controlled economically and politically by those who control the water supply. We are depleting our own water and may become too dependant on supplies from other nations.

Economics - We live in a nation of the have's and the have not's. Those with financial resources rule those without. Our panzi scheme of financial institutions have created great wealth for themselves while exploiting those living below poverty. After all, exploiting poverty is a great way to make money.

What's the answer?

To simply say Jesus is the answer is too simple. The real answer is Christian activism and involvement. Christians should be the most vocal resisters to our status quo way of life. We should be the ones sounding the alarm. We should be the ones actively involved in local, state and national politics, economics, financial planning, sociological development, natural resource development, etc.

If we took the message of Christ into every aspect of our American system, we would alter the course of human history.
