What Is The Future For America?

Thoughts

On Friday, June 26, 2015, the Supreme Court of the United States of America handed down a landmark decision that, unless reversed, will forever alter the landscape of America in one way or another. The question “What is the future for America?” is a research question giving you the opportunity to share your thoughts.

To respond and take part in this research project, you see five statements below. I am requesting your response to each statement. You also have the opportunity to submit a comment or two about your responses. This comment portion is totally optional.[vfb id=12]

The Deadline and Details About the Background Behind the Survey

As Christians and God fearing people …

  • We have every reason to believe and remain committed to the truth that God will continue being God; He has not relinquished His throne.
  • We have every reason to believe and remain committed to the truth He will continue His work of calling people to salvation; He is a missionary God.
  • We have every reason to believe and remain committed to the truth He will continue to care for us as individual believers; He has promised to never leave us nor forsake us and He has stated in His Word that nothing is able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

However, my question is this: As we take an objective look, a historical look, and a biblical look at how He has acted before in dealing with Israel and other nations, in your opinion, “What is the future for America as a nation.

You are requested to respond to all five statements from your own perspective. As you respond, choose the response that more closely reflects your belief. If you share any comments you might be tempted to copy and paste quotes from others. What I am really seeking is your thoughtful comments. I look forward to hearing from you.

The deadline for submitting a response is July 15, 2015. As I hear back from you, I will formulate your responses and the responses from others into a report. I will also give you periodic updates as to how the project is going.

Thanks in advance for your involvement in this project. I pray God’s best for you, your family, your friends, and The United States of America.

Have a great day,

Who Decided Your Color, Race, etc?

Thoughts

From God’s perspective we are “fearfully and wonderfully made.” From His perspective the truth is there are ten “unchangeables” in each of our lives. When we reject or try to alter any of these we are rejecting God and His design. Here they are:

  1. Our Parents
  2. Our Time In History
  3. Our Racial Background
  4. Our National Heritage
  5. Our Gender
  6. Our Birth Order
  7. Our Brothers and Sisters
  8. Our Physical Features
  9. Our Mental Abilities
  10. Our Aging and Departure

Let’s interact with the culture and those around us in light of this truth. Imagine how different our interactions would be if we all treated each other with the knowledge of this truth.
