Battle Yourself

If there is any time in history that you could make a moral observation on mankind, why not now?  Are you a believer?  Or are you a skeptic?  Are you one of those that are content to watch the parade go by, or are you not happy unless you are in the parade?  At no other time has there been the need for your ability to think.  For in a world that teaches you to make a connection to your feelings, it may bring you to a place of hating what is good.  For in a day when darkness prevails, good become evil and evil good.

              The prevailing political left of today teaches that you are to hate those who love guns, hunting, large families and conservatism.  They say that if you are a champion of any of these, it must be that you are less intelligent. I believe that conservative values lead to goodness.  There is a strong belief in God, a respect of country and a desire to be productive.

            Phony issues distract from moral issues.  Your ability to think limits distractions, giving your focus on those things that matter most, more effective influence.  When goodness spends her time with issues that don’t matter, those who would distract her have won.

            The most important thing for goodness to prevail is to battle your feelings.  Your mind has to be the seat of morals, not your heart.  To achieve good values, before everything else, battle yourself.  They do not teach this now.  The post WWII generation said to themselves, “We must give our children what we never had” when they should have gave their kids what they ‘did’ have.  Love of God and country, and a commitment for ‘service to others.’  Do you battle yourself?  The Bible teaches that we do.  To battle our sinful nature – we are sinners.  The world teaches that you battle everything else – based on your feelings.  Don’t trust your heart!  It is exceedingly deceitful and can not be trusted.
