Things Just don't Change Much

...Oppression of the poor, sexual immorality and personal indulgences. Sounds like a page right out of our own newspapers! Well, while these issues certainly plague our political and social structure, these are the very same issues that plagued the Jews in the Old Testament. Human depravity is constant no matter what time period and the solution to it is also the same; turning from these behaviors and submitting to God. Do you want to see changes in our politics and social structure? Stop trying to legislate and pray. Only the changing of men's (gender inclusive) hearts will change the slippery slope we're on as a nation. Spending trillions of dollars (we don't have!) won't get our economy back in shape and punishing wealthy people with taxes won't change their spending habits; they'll just find new ways to shelter their money. No; we need a revival. We need to see people all across this nation turning back to God individually and then corporately. It's the same message of the Old Testament and it still rings true today.
