Business By The Book

I'm currently reading Larry Burkett's best-selling book, BUSINESS BY THE BOOK. He relates that our Federal Government debt is 6 trillion dollars and growing. He also states that we have to borrow 150 billion dollars a year just to pay the interest on the debt. These financial statistics were current in 1998. I wonder what Larry would think of our current 14 trillion dollar debt and Obama's proposed 2012 budget that has a deficit of over 1.6 TRILLION dollars?

Truthfulness

"The Lord detests lying lips. Be He delights in men who are truthful."   Proverbs 12:22

Have you ever wondered why lying seems easier that simply telling the truth?  It is a mystery to me.

Political Insanity!

We only have one party in the United States.... THE WAR PARTY! It doesn't matter whether we elect a Democrat or a Republican President. All of them get us involved in unconstitutional wars that have brought our nation to the brink of bankruptcy. There's only one word for it..... INSANITY!

Congressional Abdication

How many wars and other military interventions must we endure before the United States Congress asserts its responsibility regarding declarations of war?  Are the Congress and Senate irrelevant and impotent?

Tempted in every way

"We do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are...... yet was without sin."  Hebrews 4:15
