Justice - Lies & the Condition of our Nation - "if you understand the Bible, you will understand how the world works."

I like what Rabbi Daniel Lappin says; "if you understand the Bible, you will understand how the world works." 

Proverbs 29:12 provides us a current illustration.  It says "If a ruler pays attention to lies, All his servants become wicked."

Consider the condition of truth in this nation and what has become the accepted norm in politics.  Why even the Washington State Supreme court ruled in 2007 that lying is acceptable in politics. Lying is one of the dark roots that is undermining our nation.  1 Timothy 4:2 tells us that in the latter times people will begin to give heed to deceiving spirits and begin to speak lies in hypocrisy.  Their conscience will be seared like with a hot iron.  

Elements within our government and a small but influential element of society has been on a campaign for years to remove the Spirit of Truth, the Way, the Truth and the Life; the Lord Jesus Christ from society. This rejection has been expressed through the removal of a moral code (IE 10 Commandments, prayer, etc... ) and personal responsibility from government and education in our nation. This has begun to seep through every system in society positions a governmental system led by people with a corrupt moral code as a god.  Hence, you don't have to look far for examples of lying, from presidential candidates to the head of the Justice Department, to senators, and the list could go on down from national to state, county and city governments.  I'll never forget the election fraud that has occurred in my county gaining it national attention.  

Truth is becoming rare and justice is fleeting! Pray that God put righteous people into office with a higher moral code that reflects God's  word that we might be blessed as a nation. The bible says lying is an abomination and John 8:44 introduces us to the "father of lies," the devil.  

Proverbs 29:2 - When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice; But when a wicked man rules, the people groan.

In this upcoming election pray, act in faith with wisdom and vote for candidates and laws that reflect God's word and not the selfish short term thinking that have contributed to the conditions that exist in our nation today.  These conditions (worst economy since the depression, largest national debt in history, worst drought since 1956, etc.) are symptoms or signs described in the bible.  They are eternal laws at work.  The beauty is, there is an eternal law we can apply too.  If we repent, change our mind, God will relent (Jer. 26:3).  All it takes is a change of mind that is followed by a change of action.  

I pray God give you wisdom and courage to choose wisely in this upcoming election.
