Or is it How it went wrong?

Or why…

I have no idea what I am trying to say, but I know what I feel. I feel like society has passed me by. That I just don’t belong here anymore. That I went to sleep one night, woke up, drank my coffee and looked around. Nothing was the same as the night before. Some things were almost the same, and some things were not recognizable, but everything was different. Nothing better.

Presently, as I try to find peace during this time of trouble, I struggle with things that men were not designed to deal with. Things like information at a level never before possible, but none of it trustworthy. At a time when we desperately need honesty and truth, all I have found are lies and arrogant people, determined to deceive and lead astray. We were made to be followers of a Higher Power, but we have become followers of common people, who’s only love is of themselves. These folks have polarized a country of followers into groups that teach mistrust and hatred of all the other groups. None of this is proper, and left to us, we would probably work most of our differences out among ourselves. So, the answer to how it went wrong is simply this…. We trusted our lives to lesser people who had little regard for our wellbeing. But it’s not entirely the fault of politicians. That’s the lazy way out. We are many and they are few. The real problem is us. The Followers. We have a responsibility, but we grew lazy and fat with handouts, and forgot one damming truth…. Nothing is free.

But why did it go wrong? I am certain that evil is smarter than good. While good families are going about their lives, living the best they know how, evil people are walking to and fro, looking for weakness. This is pretty much how Satan is described, so why would his children be any different? I see this in our government, entertainment, media, news…. I see it everywhere. Part of the everywhere I see it in is religion. The main problem with placing your trust in religion is that it’s ran by a bunch of sinners. I don’t trust religion as much as I trust three-day old sushi. The longer you are around it, the more overpowering it becomes. Our country is walking away from organized religion and churches are shutting down every day. To stop the exodus, denominations have become so much like the world that there’s really not much point of attending anymore. When it comes to religion, I’m just not a big fan. It’s hardly mentioned in the Bible at all. I do worship our Creator however, even though I may be the biggest failure among you, I’m all in on Jesus too. And the salvation plan. To me it’s very humbling. The farther we get from John 3:16, the closer we are to any of the many traps, and alternative paths away from the truth. Why did it go wrong?…. We walked away from the love of our Creator and His salvation plan. Once we did that, we walked right into the arms of Satan, and all the lunacy we see all around us, and all of its manifestations.

So, is there a solution? I think the proper question should be Is God done with us. And I don’t have that answer, but I am certain that we as Christians have work to do. The enemy is terrified of us, but our work is the gospel, to be in the world and not of this forsaken cesspool. we need to lift each other up and realize this truth that was until now just out of my reach, even though I knew it to be true…. I am not supposed to feel at home here, and shame on me if I do. I don’t belong here for any other reason but to be a light to someone else.

Amen.
