I just don't get it; the media tells people there is an "economic crisis", and everyone stops spending money. Have people forgotten how to think for themselves? It seems like americans are more generally trend oriented than we are independent thinkers, even when it comes to our beliefs. Everyone just does what the person next to them is doing, which causes an ugly circle of fashion, intellectual, and economic slavery to whatever the current newspaper headline is. People have made benevolence, brotherly love, compassion for humanity and the golden rule a thing of the past. These days it's all about stock portfolios, big bank accounts and storing up treasure for one's self, forget everybody else. This is NOT how mankind's existence was intended to function when we were created; but since we have chosen this path with our own God-given freewill, as long as we keep it up we will continue to fall further & further into spiritual reprobation, with an inherent ending that will destroy whatever's left in the aftermath of man's futile struggle to gain personal wealth. People need to remember the morals & standards their grandparents had. Next time you see that homeless person on the street,GIVE HIM A DOLLAR!! Don't cry to me about how tough times are; you don't know tough times until you have worn HIS shoes! But, it looks like that is the shoes a lot of us are being fitted for. Since we have neglected and looked down on the poor for so long, a lot of us are becoming the poor. It's a biblical principal, like gravity (like it or not) "...God is not mocked; a man shall reap that which he sows" (Galatians 6:7). And that's not the only scripture to back this principle up; "...he who sows sparingly shall also reap sparingly, but he who sows bountifully shall also reap bountifully." (2nd Corinthians 9:6) and "...give and it shall be given unto you...whatsoever measure you use, the same shall be measured back to you." (Luke 6:38) etc..., etc..., etc...., etc...!! America doesn't listen to the Bible anymore though, or we would be practicing what it says! The mojority of people just play church on Sundays and they live for the devil the rest of the week. There will be lot of people shouting "Amen" all the way to hell!! If people really believed what the Bible says, they would NEVER worry about money, terrorists, wars or anything else for that matter; but the truth is, when mankind loses their faith in God, we lose our hope for a meaningful existence. This is the state of our union, and it's only going to get worse. Cry out to Jesus today, before it's to late to do so. "...and, behold, I come quickly; and my rewardis with me, to give every man according to his work... I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End, the First and the Last." (Revelation 22:12-13)
