That Spirit of Generosity


It is part of the intrinsic makeup of man to desire to help his fellow man. That spirit of generosity and its outreach of benevolence is quite evident in America.

From the earliest days of the establishment of this nation, the evidence has been present of people reaching out to those in need. From the establishment of schools and hospitals to the sending of resources abroad to those in need, the magnanimity of this country has been abundantly manifested from colonial days, even until the present.

One primary reason for this spirit of benevolence is the CHRISTIAN FOUNDATION of the nation. As JESUS gave, so have those who profess to follow HIM given.

Yet this nation is at a dangerous point in time. It is at a place where it has set aside its foundational principles, where it has begun to question the faith of its fathers while embracing false religions from every corner of the earth.

Compounding the threat imposed by emerging from beneath the shadow of the wing of the GOD who raised this nation and made it rich and powerful, is the influx of 'refugees' from terrorist nations who have vowed to destroy any nation, any culture, any religion but its own.

Elected officials have opened the floodgates to allow unvetted people into the country--at the cost of taxpayer dollars. Perhaps a wise citizenry must evaluate this course and determine whether or not it is beneficial to themselves or to their progeny for this course of action to be supported at the polls.

If individuals who do not follow CHRIST are invited into the country and are to be supported by the largess of the coffers of the citizenry; and if it is the ultimate intent of those invited people to conquer this nation and its people, should not the voters of the land determine to follow a different path when they elect their representatives?

It is far easier to shape a child than to repair an adult.
