Why do Christians think they can't effect change through the government? Why do they think that it's taboo to get involved in politics? That whole idea that "real Christians don't get involved in politics - that problems can't be solved through government" is a bunch of hooey!

Let's look at it this way - would you agree that government can get a nation in a whole lot of trouble with the way they do things? My guess is that you are saying, "Well yeah, of course." Okay, then the opposite is also true - yes? Good government CAN solve problems and create good living conditions. Even the Bible tells us that the people suffer under a wicked ruler and are joyful under righteous and good rule: Proverbs 29:2 When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice: but when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn.

The entire books of Kings and Chronicles are all about good and bad kings and how the leadership of the nation of Israel and then Judah caused the people to sin and turn away from God, and also how the leadership at times repented which brought the people back into right standing with God. The Bible teaches us that government has great power to do good or to do evil. And that good and bad government is tied directly to acknowledgment of God.

Right now, our government is doing great evil. Evil men and women are turning the nation more and more away from the worship and acknowledgment of God and the truth of the Bible. Evil men and women, with their laws and policies, are turning the people of this nation towards the worship of the state and hatred of biblical truth. The nation of America has lost her way and as Christians we need to do something about it.

We need to get politically involved. We need to spend time on our knees praying and we need to spend time on our feet promoting good leaders who will be righteous in their lawmaking and their judgments.

We need to say, "NO!" to more out-of-control government. How do we do that? Very loudly. Tell people about it, support good candidates with your financial contributions, believe you can make a difference.

God gave us the political system we have and that political system requires the people to be an integral part of the workings - or it is a failed system. If we are not involved we get tyranny. And that is what we have right now.

In the last 2 elections, we have had a majority of uninformed, deceived voters who voted out good people for tyrants who are seeking to control every aspect of our daily lives. And to top it all off, they voted in a president who was the most radically liberal senator in history - a man who believes heart and soul in socialism.

Socialism for those of you who don't know, is a politically corrupt system where the government runs everything. It is the first step towards communism. It is first and foremost government without God. Then it is government without individual rights. Everything is for the "common" good. Of course, the people in charge get to decide what that "good" is. Socialism is atheistic, pro-abortion, pro-government, pro-state control, anti-creativity, anti-individual, anti-private ownership, anti-growth, anti-capitalism, anti-Christian, anti-Israel, anti-free speech, anti-conservatism, and anti-American. There is no reward for individual hard work or effort. It is the system that redistributes wealth from those who work and are successful to those who don't work or are less successful. Ultimately, it saps the will of the worker - with no reward, why bother? That's why people ended up waiting in lines all day in the USSR just to get a roll or two of toilet paper, or a pair of ill-fitting shoes.

What we have today is what I call "Neo-Socialism." Neo-Socialism is a reworking of socialism with a little bit of democracy and private ownership thrown in. It is "the frog in the warm water" stage of socialism. It is that period where people actually think that the government helping out those less fortunate is good and will not do harm to the nation. What the people don't realize is that the water is heating up slowly and we are going to get cooked to death and eventually under complete government control in every aspect. Once the people get a revelation of what they have allowed to happen, they will either be so numb and beaten by the system that they will succumb, or they will rebel and there will be a revolution in this country - including riots and other destructive results.

And don't think the Constitution will protect us. As part of the socialistic domination, that document will be amended piece by piece. If you think it can't happen, you are sadly mistaken. We thought we would never have government run banks, health care, insurance companies, and corporations. We thought that never could a president be allowed to tell a major corporation to fire their CEO, and have them comply. We thought that we would never have war criminals and foreign terrorists being tried with citizen's rights. We thought a lot of things would never come to pass. And yet we have this and more.

It's tyranny and there will come a point where we all have to decide - is it better to obey God or man? That day is coming soon. We can put it off by getting politically involved and trying to change our government. To return to freedom. It's our choice.
