I don't need to take a poll or ask anybody's opinion about it to know that America is worst now than at any time in its history (not withstanding slavery and multiple wars or natural disasters). Even then, Americans had hope of better days. Our faith in God unified us as a nation, whether Christian, Jewish, Catholic and others.

This primary campaign has proved how much America is in serious trouble. Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, John McCain, and every other person who believes the God we serve is someone whose name and purpose can be glibly rolled off the end of a forked tongue will surely lift their eyes in Hell. How is it that Democrats speak of faith and, yet, their words belie their belief in God?

Who is deceived by that? Only those who do not know God. Why do you suppose they have taken steps to shut up the voice of Christians and snatch the Word of God away from our society? It is because to know God's voice is to fear Him with Godly fear and they do not want to know God. For, then it would be encumbent upon them to obey His will, way, and Word.

WHAT KIND OF CHANGE CAN BARACK GIVE?
WHAT KIND OF CHANGE CAN HILLARY GIVE?
WHAT KIND OF CHANGE CAN McCAIN GIVE?

A CALL TO MY MINISTRY COLLEAGUES --

You come together but you fail to speak with one voice. Why?

When you are confused as leaders who say you are called by God (if you are), then you create confusion rather than unify. You, as Clergy, have yet to come to terms among you about who God is, much less that God is. In God, there is no confusion. Therefore, why do you spend a lot of money and take time to build bigger churches relocated far from your parishioners? Why do you preach prosperity to the rich in houses and land but the poor in spirit you have turned out, except to take their meager possessions? Why do you stammer and stutter when uttering prayers in public events being afraid to say the name of Jesus, while applauding Muslims, especially, who from beginning to ending pray in the name of Allah? Why do you fear to call a halt to the blatant lies that politicians and church folk tell about our nation? If America is so bad and if our God is so dreadful, then why are so many from other countries dying to get in but Americans are not dying to get out?

Dear Clergy Colleagues --

DO NOT INCLUDE ME ON YOUR "NEWSLETTER LIST," IF YOU ALSO FAIL TO INCLUDE A CALL BACK NUMBER! IF YOU ARE TOO BUSY TO RECEIVE A RESPONSE FROM YOUR LIST RECIPIENTS, THEN YOU ARE TOO BUSY, PERIOD!! BESIDES, "THERE IS NOTHING NEW UNDER THE SUN."

Whatever you might believe is your new and innovative Godly plan is already lying in place waiting for you to pick it up and run with it. It did not just start! And, you do not have to reinvent the wheel in God's House. Let God be God. Lead His people. Stop being followers. LEAD WHERE GOD GUIDES!

I welcome all prayerful responses.
Remember - I am humble, but I am not a door mat. Be respectful or be reminded.
