America is at a spiritual and moral crossroads. Which path do you want America to take: democracy or White Privilege Autocratic Chaos? The exclusive mindset of “my way or the highway!” America’s democratic governance system had a profound spiritual moral schism based on MAGA-GOP Republicans’ wish to lawfully reinstitute White privilege: something for nothing.
The Bible instructs us not to grant the devil or the devil’s “Imps” a position, because in a democracy, winning by any means required is not winning. It is failing. Constitutional administration principles of order, human rights, decency, and civility control American democracy. Racism is America’s initial sin, and it threatens not only Blacks and other permanent-tan minorities, but also multi-cultural democracy itself. Time is divided into three parts: the past, the present, and the future. Because America was not an effective manager of time and natural resources, the past was flawed. Because of these flaws, the past belongs to the adversary.
America, we are in the present, and the issue is, what will we do with it? National solidarity or national chaos? Without a question, the future belongs to GOD, because “the earth, and the fulness thereof; the world, and those who dwell therein” (Psalm 24:1). Individuals do, however, have free will, and their decisions have consequences: paradise on earth or hell on earth. Repetition of past errors is a diabolical formula for uncertainty, pandemonium, and total insanity, not national unity.
King David was said to be a man after God’s own heart, because he emotionally communicated his wish for God’s direction in leading people: “Show me thy ways O’Lord; show me thy paths. Lead me in thy truth, and instruct me: for thou art the God of my deliverance; on thee do I wait all the day” (Psalm 25: 5). America, as a country, should never want to be governed by the wicked, because “Righteousness exalteth a nation, but sin is a reproach to any people.” (Proverbs 14: 34).
It is unfortunate that too many Republican politicians are more concerned with personal Privileges, Power, and Pleasure than with intangible things like intellectual integrity, moral character, constitutional leadership service to the country, multi-cultural democracy, and, most importantly, their own soul salvation. They have lost or never knew this scriptural verse: “Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man’s life consists not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth.” (Luke 12: 15).
It’s choice time, America. We are a multiracial democracy society at a moral crossroads, and to quote First Lady Michelle Obama, the choice is either the lofty road or the low road. “For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God,” one day, sooner or later. As a result, each of us will have to answer to God.” (Romans 14: 11-12). You cannot avoid this problem, America, because it is exactly for spiritually enlightened people that democracy exists. As a result, America should always promote spiritual growth reading in all aspects of life, rather than White Privilege Censorship. Amen!
