Motivation

I admit...I am a tea-bag toting...Don't-Tread-on-Me flag waving...demonstrator for conservatism and liberty. But, under all the enthusiasm, my spirit stirs with unsettling thoughts.

Finally, finally, the body of Christ appears to be uniting. Did she unite when prayer was removed from school, then the Bible? Did she unite when America legalized the murder of unborn children?

She is uniting now...as our wallets are seriously threatened by higher taxes and more government regulation and control.

While I am all for reining in excessive government, I question the church's motives for reacting NOW. And, I question my own motives.

Do I want God to reign in America or the return of my former comfortable standard of living?

If God chooses to allow financial crises to awaken the lost...will my spirit sing "Amen" or grumble?

Serious questions for serious times.
