What Can We Do About our Government?

Let’s talk politics. Well this is more than just politics; it is our lives as we know them that are in danger of detrimental change. Our country that was founded by God fearing men is now being ruled by just the opposite. They are looking to take away everything our constitution stands for and are doing it in a way that is very deceptive to We the People. They (President Obama and his administration) are trying to make us believe that their goals are to help the needy “level the playing field” says Obama. In a way, this can be looked at as commendable. After all, the Bible states you will be rewarded by the Father for giving to the needy but what else does it say about giving to the needy?


Matthew 6:1-4 “Be careful not to do your acts for righteousness before men, to be seen by them. If you do, you will have no reward from your Father in heaven. So when you give to the needy, do not announce it with trumpets, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and on the streets, to be honored by men. I tell you the truth, they have received their reward in full. But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, so that your giving may be in secret. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.

Giving to the poor and the needy is to be done by the body of Christ. We as individuals are suppose to be taking care of our family members, our neighbors, and anyone we see needs help that we have the means to help them. We can trust that the Lord will provide when we are doing His will. The government is now taking full control over who we will give our money to. This is no secret, I’m sure most of you are aware of what our president is doing with our tax money. I’m not announcing anything new, especially to Christians. He is controlling who receives our money and then he is taking all the credit for it like he is a savior to our American people.

I would like to bring up a point about missionaries. When missionaries reach out to the needy in the name of Christ, they search for a need of the people. By satisfying that need, the peoples’ hearts are softened to receive the truth of our Heavenly Father. However, when the needy receives our money in this forced government manner, they are now softened to nothing other than the reign of Obama and how he is their savior. If he keeps taking our money, there will be no more to give. The only thing these people who are accepting this charity are learning is that all they have to do is keep doing what they’re doing (or not doing) and there is more where that came from. This is not the way the churches operate when they distribute our tithe. They teach them about Christ, they link them with members of the church who may have something they can use. It is one big family that the needy person then becomes a part of and has a heart molded to do the same for others. They give something back whether it is sharing the love of Christ, sharing their materials, or a meal with a hungry friend, they don’t just take and take. They learn to give back in the name of God.

The number of the needy is growing due to these new taxes taking care of them. There is a huge incentive now not to work. I’ve heard the working man who can’t get his insurance to cover his diabetic strips for his machine say, “If I wasn’t working, it would be paid for.” Do you hear this INCENTIVE? It is true. The rich (which has simply become the working) has to pay horrific amounts for their insurance then the insurance isn’t covering the things it needs to so the working has to pay more money out of pocket. The nonworking does not pay anything! The government health plan is not the answer here. All that will do is lower the quality of health care we receive and the working man will still be footing the bill.

Well that’s not all. Our taxes are not at a stand still. They keep going up and will continue to do so like we (the working) are a never ending money distributer. I’m angry about all of this and I imagine many of you are too but it gets worse. At least now, we can share our concerns on the internet, on news programs, and we can assemble and discuss our concerns thanks to our forefathers and the men who have given their lives for our freedom. This may be changing and this is the most concerning thing to me of all. Yes our dollar will probably crash, we’ll probably have a new socialist health care, abortion may become legal in all of America, same sex partners will probably have all the same rights as the man and woman married under biblical principles, and we could very well be amidst the end times but at least now we can share our concerns and the truth can be told. The government is trying to control that too. Freedom of speech will be no longer unless you are freely speaking in support of Obama and his goals for what was once known as OUR country.

I am afraid for what is becoming of our country. I want to stop this evil. I want the government to stop stealing my money and I want incentives for the nonworking to become the working. I must say that I realize people have lost their jobs due to economic crisis and many have worked all their lives. I’m not referring to those people in the group of the “needy” that I’ve referenced in this post. You are commendable and God has given you the skill and desire to find a way to provide for your family and you will find that way. I’m talking about the lazy, entitled, self-centered generation that has erupted. A generation without pride, without the value of earning one’s own dollar, and without a conscience letting them know that what they are doing is wrong. What can we do to stop this madness? Can we get the value of our constitution back or is it too late?
