It's Economical Watson
As of April 6, 2023 the national debt according to usdebtclock.org is over $31 trillion 665 billion. This comes to over $94,600 for each and every American citizen including our children and grandchildren. If you think that it's not fair to count them, it comes to over $246,800 per taxpayer. Where is this going to end? Will it just go away? Is there anything that can be done or is it too late? It's not a pretty picture that will likely end up being devastating. I'm not trying to be just doom and gloom here, but think about it. We are predominately a service oriented country. Many stores and restaurants have already closed. One scenario could involve mass job loss, hunger, and death, if the Lord tarries His return. If not, then probably socialism. "But wait, the rapture of the Church will happen before our country goes through something like that." Well, what Christian wouldn't hope so? But it's very concerning that so many Christians seem to think that if bad things happen to our country it must be rapture time. Let alone that many Christians may be wrong about a pre-tribulational rapture of the Church. I don't take a firm position on the timing of the rapture of the Church, but I haven't found any Scripture clearly supporting the pre-tribulational view. But I digress :-).
Have we not learned through hurricanes, tornados, COVID, and more, that we can't rely on there always being food in the grocery store to buy and put on our tables? There are things we can and must begin doing NOW! Whether it's getting rid of the national deficit and having a balanced budget on the federal as well as state levels (yes, it could be done if elected officials knew that we really do mean business and not just at election time) or become more self sufficient as a state, county, city, town, community, home, and church. Each level should be working towards it. Some of you reading this may be able to live off of the land. But what about the rest of your family, your neighbors, your town, your co-workers? "But It's the government's fault." The constitution starts off with "we the people." We vote them in. Yet the Declaration of Independence says that when the government becomes destructive the people have the right to alter or abolish it. And the constitution says we have the right to redress grievances. The Feds and individual states cannot keep spending more than we take in, and the answer is not raising taxes, but rather cutting spending drastically. Until "we the people" get a grasp about the condition and direction of our country, it's not looking good. Yes trust in the Lord and pray, but we also need to DO! Call State Rep. Tracey Estes and State Sen. Greg Reed about this. They don't have a clue. Questions or comments? Send me an email or meet me at my Church.
