America Is A Racist Nation, but.....

 

America is a racist nation.

Just as every nation is a racist nation.

But America is one of the least racist multi-racial nations on earth.

We have fought so hard and come so very far.

Yet, we are not done.

The problem is that every human is racist at some level.

Laws and regulations may help, but will never alone suffice.

Only changed hearts can right the wrongs.

I will never wear the label "racist" because of the light color of my skin.

The demand that I do is itself naked racism.

I will never bear the wrongs of generations past.

Americans of earlier generations made their own mistakes just as does ours.

I am not responsible for the evils of the past.  All I can do is try to lessen the evils of today.

 

I am proud of our history.  We are a noble nation and a noble people who out of many have become one.  But I am not proud of every part of our history.

Our historic wrongs do not define us.  Our noble impulses and behaviors define us.

Fools who attempt to erase or re-write our history will only cause future generations to make similar mistakes.

May God bless America, and all the peoples that are here

who make us who we are today and who we will become tomorrow!

It's NOT Too Late: We Can Rebuild America the Beautiful

America is in desperate need of awakening and revival. Better political representation at all levels will help, but government will never be more than a partial solution to our deep-seated problems. We have a heart problem, and only hearts healed and reshaped by the Healer will suffice. 

Founding father John Adams wrote, "Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other." 

For 245 years we have been among the freest and most blessed people on the planet. But as many devolve into the "any other" Adams wrote about, one possible future is that we find his words prescient. 

I reject that future! 

Nehemiah said, “Don’t be afraid of them. Remember the Lord, who is great and awesome, and fight for your families, your sons and your daughters, your wives and your homes.” His words ring clear even today. 

• You and I were born into this season to fight for all that is noble and pure and holy in America. 
• We were born to fight for a shining future for our sons and daughters and grandchildren. 
• We were born to fight this battle on our knees, living lives of holiness before the Lord. 
• We were born to fight by demonstrating the beauty of the Kingdom of God with our lives and our love.

It is NOT too late. We can rebuild America the beautiful.
