Lessons From Weinergate

Congressman Anthony Weiner’s actions, as perverted and stupid as they were, were not an anomaly when it comes to the human condition, but rather a clear example of why we must insist on representatives whose passions and lusts are bridled by an inner moral compass inspired by a belief in God, and in the system of eternal rewards and punishment, as stated in almost all of our states’ founding documents. Our founders understood that men are driven by carnal passions with power to delude them into destructive and irrational behavior. Submission to God and his rules of order trains men to walk in integrity, until this new way of living displaces the natural carnal instincts inherent in the human condition. This moral character is what qualifies one to lead others into goodness, peace and prosperity.

This is precisely why we must never separate God from government or face having a government of liars and perverts. Remember Sodom?

We as people need to be seeking His Holiness and walk in integrity. In our integrity He upholds us. As we do this then we can with god's help look to elect men and women who also walk in integrity. People who are not out to gratify themselves but be servant leaders and fulfill the call of Statesmen to this nation

We must continue to hold high the banner of Christ to the world, and to preach the gospel to every creature. Still we must remain keenly aware that God's word must be fulfilled. Our efforts to change the moral fiber of this country and the world at large must be seen in the light of Scripture. What we see taking place today among our elected officials, our youth, and among many who call themselves Christians are nothing more than Heaven's headlines written thousands of years ago, but oh so current for today. Stay tuned, there's more to come before Christ returns.
