When a man embarks on a crooked road, where does it eventually lead? What type of destination does he suppose is waiting at the end of his travels?
The Cretans were a people with a sullied reputation, those who were known for their shiftless behavior. Yet, even these were not too far gone to know salvation. And though considered a worthless bunch, when confronted with the Truth, many yielded their hearts to the Savior, for even a “Cretan” can know redemption.
The trade winds have been blowing hard against this country sending the manufacturing lines out of this nation and into faraway lands causing multiple plants who employed a large group of Americans to be much fewer in number. Those who depended on these corporations as their source of income have been given notices that their positions are obsolete and that they are no longer needed. These who have been laid off must find work elsewhere, which usually means taking a job at a rate cut in their pay, as loyalty is now only found going one direction, and coming from those workers who dedicated many years of their lives to help build these companies which are turning them out on the street just so profit margins can increase.
Once again it is with symbolic gestures and protest signs which many are using as a means to combat a societal scourge; “bringing awareness” being the common phrase mentioned when describing their role in the battle. For then these can feel a sense of satisfaction inside, that they, too, are a part of the fight to end human trafficking, without actually having to get off their couch.
The bigger they are, the harder they fall.
There are those who have sat in high places, who have held titled positions that are now being incriminated for crimes against this Union. And though this is a shortlist of names, the damage they caused while holding office has had a ripple effect across the land, as the decisions they made for “the good of the country” were filled with corruption and greed. While the American public was busy eking out a living, these standing accused took full advantage of their positions by trading taxpayer dollars for favors, making deals with foreign agencies that would benefit themselves regardless of how many lives were lost due to their scheming.
Oh when will My children, those who have been seated in heavenly places, stop railing against worldly injustice and focus on Who really matters?
Because He did not enter the realm of humanity to fight against the culture of politics, to then say he was a ‘warrior for social justice’ is to bring his deity down to man’s level, where what is considered today as socially just, changes direction quickly, like the wind. One day it may blow from the East, but the next have a completely different heading because it is inconsistent in nature.
The construct of society is such that when a person is born, there are certain variables already set into place that determine his placement within the hierarchy of civilization. For not a single person can decide which bloodline he will come from, nor which race or nationality will be his heritage. These choices are out of his control. So then, when a child is born, he knows nothing about the prejudices of man and has yet to understand where he fits in the structure of humanity. But as he grows, he will learn that those who have come before him, have created a system of classes to define each life before it has even begun.
