Working Toward The Right Solution

In Sundays Star Democrat newspaper Mr. Pifer wrote a very interesting article that for the most part I totally disagree with. It sounded like it came straight from the Democrat handbook. The rhetoric is always the same, no matter if it comes from Democrats or Republicans. Each party has their ideas about The NRA, The Guns, and violence. The Democrats, for the most part, want guns gone. They would have you believe it is the gun that causes the evil when people are needlessly shot, Every time we turn around we have more gun laws passed and for what? Some of the largest cities in our country have not only the strictest gun laws but also the highest gun-related deaths. So why are we passing more gun laws? The Republicans would have you to believe it is an American right to own and bear arms. They are correct in saying that because it is true, but it does not give anyone the right to just go out on the street and kill our kids in school and people at their workplace. People like this do not need guns. They do not even need to be on the street. If we wait on the people in THE SWAMP better known as Washington to solve the gun problem it will never get solved and it will only grow worse. All we will ever hear is the same talk from both parties.

The solution to this problem starts in the home at an early age. The home, as I have said many times before, is the building blocks of this country. We need to put fathers back in the homes. The preachers and pastors must take a stand in their churches for what is right. The value system of this country must be grounded, as it once was, in the Word of God. As a people, we are heading down the broad road that is leading to the destruction of this country. We cannot want peace and happiness but do everything that goes against it.

We cannot have gun control or gun safety on our streets when in just about every home there are violent video games being played. Arguments between the kids about who killed the most people in the games. We are teaching our kids to kill starting in the home by letting them play these games. We have kids who will not obey their parents and do what they want to do. When there is no respect in the home how can there be respect for other people? We did not get to this place overnight and we will not stop this violence overnight. But we must start by not only following the laws of this great country but we must take heed and follow God’s Laws.

The Building Blocks

We as a nation can make all the paper laws we want but that will never solve the violence in our country. We have more restrictions and paper laws now than any time in our history yet the violence continues to grow at an alarming rate.  Only the laws applied to our hearts will change the violence and chaos in this country. Thou shall not kill (murder), thou shall not commit adultery, love your parents with all your heart, and many other laws were given to us many years ago by our creator. When these laws were placed in our heart and followed we did not have the problems we have in this country today. What has happen to America?  We have become a less civilized society on the verge of chaos, with weaker moral foundations, less positive family influence, and it could go on and on. It is a pipedream to believe paper laws made and passed by a swamp full of ungodly people in Washington will fix anything. Ninety nine percent of them need to meet and have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.

The problem in this country cannot be fixed with more paper laws being past. We need to return to the old paths this country was founded on. We must quit fooling ourselves because most of us know what the problem is. It is sin and rebellion against God. Where sin is every kind of evil resides.

The family as a unit which means a man and a woman living together in harmony and peace will always be the basic social foundation of any society or nation.  This family relationship alone provides the stability nothing else can.  It does not take a village to raise your children as some would suggest. It takes parents who promote and practice Godly ethics in the home. What is taught in the home will follow our children for the rest of their life.

Some people may think this statement may seem opinionated or biased against other forms of social groups, but it has been proven factual and correct over hundreds and even thousands of years. If you notice when the families are strong, society is strong, as a rule.  When families are weak, societies begin to break down. If you read the Bible you will see God made it that way.

The Traditional family in this country is under attack from every direction. For the past few decades, the family unit in America has been under constant attack.  By many things but mostly by a school system and a government that takes away authority of the parents. That is in the home where there are parents. We have thousands of homes in this country were the mother is the head of the house with seven or eight kids all by different fathers and they do not even know who their fathers are. They are left to do what they want to do and think they are doing nothing wrong. They rob, murder, assault who they want and do and say what they want. This is the new family unit our country is founded on.

Correction and discipline starts in the home and where there is none it weakens the very foundation and fiber of this country. Three generations ago the family unit for the most part had both parents. The family was well structured. The kids were taught moral and spiritual values. They were taught how to work and how to survive. They went to church on Sundays. Now most kids do not know even what a church looks like on the inside, let alone what it is for or what it teaches.

Our schools are not safe places for our kids. The government has taken Bible reading, the Lord’s Prayer, and the pledge allegiance out of our schools and replaced them with cops and armed guards patrolling the halls. Then they ask the dumb question why God allows violence in our schools.  We do not have to worry about North Korea, Iran, Russia, or the terrorist destroying our country from the outside because it is crumbling from the inside. Our foundation is just about gone.
