Do you want to turn the United States' problems around?  I have a suggestion:  Remember God.

We are having problems because we don't do what He says.

God is our creator.  One amazing thing about our Creator is that He cares.  He cares enough to punish us when we don't live the way He wants us to live.  He cares enough to give us a way back to Him.

For many years, through good times and bad times, the United States has wandered from and returned to God.  We have wandered very far this time.  I know that God is a loving God and that He will forgive us, but we have to admit our wrong and get back.  We need to stop supporting wicked things that we know are bad for us as well as anything that promotes rebellion against God and hurts our country.

When we ignore our Creator, we loose our clarity.  We become morally blind and don't really know where we are going.  If we return to God, and to Jesus the one He sent for us to listen to, the blinders come off and we see the distruction that we were headed for.  Do you think that you are exempt?  Let me ask you:

1) Do you thing that God ignores it when you lie just to get your way?  Do you think that your lie will not hurt those telling the truth?  Do you think that God won't eventually defend those who are still telling the truth?

2) Do you think that being passive and ignoring evil will not eventually find its way into your life?

3) Do you think that you are better than others because you don't get as much money when you basically stole money from lenders by taking on a loan that you knew you could not pay back?

4) When you watch movies and worship people that constantly do things that God says are wrong do you think that you won't be noticed?

5) Do you even know what God expects?  When was the last time you read your Bible? 

The answer to our problems is to return to Jesus.  God, our Creator, said that He died to save us from our sin.  He paid the price for those sins that you have done and is ready to forgive you because the penalty has been paid already.  If you are a believer and you have been living in sin, return to God by confessing your sin to Him and he will forgive you.

Nothing is out of control for God.  He is drawing you back to Himself.  I beg you to return to Him before it brings us down further.

Ron Reagan Jr. obviously doesn’t know his father.  I say “know” in the present tense because I know that Ex-President Ronald Reagan is alive in heaven today.  It is a shame that Ron Reagan used his relationship as a platform to tear down his father’s work in front of God and man.  I know that God will always forgive the one who comes to Him, and I have to strongly rebuke Ron for what he said.

I am referring to an article that World Net Daily ran last month in which Ron Reagan (The president’s son) said that he didn’t believe his father would approve of Palin.  The article is here.

Fortunately, President Ronald Regan had more than one son. Michael Reagan believes that he sees his father in Palin.  I definitely agree and it is easy to explain why.

Ronald Reagan was an outspoken Christian, like Palin.  He stood up for God and the bible when it wasn’t politically expedient for him to do so.  He was a champion for life and was not afraid to face evil head on in this world.  He was one who wanted to see America restored to its position as an example to the world.  He wanted to see the government come down off of its high horse and serve the people without robbing the people of all of their resources.  He liked to talk directly to the people in spite of the media.  Sound familiar?

How do I know that Ron Jr. was up to no good?  Listen to what he was quoted as saying in regard to Palin’s belief in a God who created the world:

"It's such a profoundly anti-intellectual, anti-science stance, I don't see how you can hold high office and believe something like that."

So I thought I would share today what President Ronald Reagan actually said about God as a Creator:

“Each of us, each of you, is made in the most enduring, powerful image of Western civilization.  We’re made in the image of God the Creator” – Remarks to citizens in Hamback, Federal Republic of Germany, May 6, 1985

“How can we hope to retain our freedom through the generations if we fail to teach our young that our liberty springs from an abiding faith in our Creator?” – Remarks at a White House ceremony in observance of National Day of Prayer, May 6, 1982

“I’ve always believed that we were, each of us, put here for a reason, that there is a plan, somehow a divine plan for all of us.  I know now that whatever days are left to me belong to Him.  I also believe this blessed land was set apart in a very special way, a country created by men and women who came here not in the search of gold, but in search of God.  They would be free people, living under the law with faith in their Maker and their future.”  Remarks at the annual National Prayer Breakfast, February 4, 1982

“Two visions of the world remain locked in dispute.  The first believes all men are created equal by a loving God who has blessed us with freedom.  Abraham Lincoln spoke for us: ‘No man,’ he said, ‘is good enough to govern another without the other’s consent.’ 

The second vision believes that religion is opium for the masses.  It believes that eternal principles like truth, liberty, and democracy have no meaning beyond the whim of the state.  And Lenin spoke for them: ‘It is true, that liberty is precious,’ he said, ‘so precious that it must be rationed.’

Well, I’ll take Lincoln’s version over Lenin’s – and so will the citizens of the world if they’re given free choice.”  Remarks at a ceremony marking the annual observance of Captive Nations Week, July 19, 1983
