For Your Consideration

 There are six things the Lord hates,

    seven that are detestable to him:
17         haughty eyes,
        a lying tongue,
        hands that shed innocent blood,
18         a heart that devises wicked schemes,
        feet that are quick to rush into evil,
19         a false witness who pours out lies
        and a person who stirs up conflict in the community.

Proverbs 6:16-19


By my count, it appears that the U.S. House of Representatives, and now the whole of the U.S. Congress, are guilty of all seven.

Perhaps I'm wrong. But if not, I'm glad I'm not in their shoes.

Nope, and you could probably add a few more sins to that list... Gluttony, adultery, etc... sigh

Agree with the above, sadly.

You are not wrong. They are not even trying to hide their wickedness any more. It is sickening.

No no, you are spot on. Waiting for the American Church to call out Congress.

Still waiting...

Too many of our fellow countrymen/women refuse to see what is plainly visible to many of us, IMO. My question? How do we change this? What does God expect of us?

Rev. Paul said...

WSF, when things are too big for us, He expects us to turn them over to Him. He promises to take care of it. The hard part is waiting on His timing.

Understand.
