News item “Transgender boy wearing a skirt sexually assaulted a girl in a school bathroom”. Government is a necessary evil, designed (originally) to oversee the things at a national level that can’t be handled at a state or local level, primarily for the defense and general welfare of the citizens.
In our representative form of government we vote for “representatives” to provide for and represent our values and needs. Sometimes we get what we voted for and sometimes we don’t. If we, collectively, voted for what we now have, we are being BADLY represented or we, collectively, are MORALLY BANKRUPT and I suspect it is a combination of both. The former can be fixed at the ballot box but the latter can only be fixed by a change of heart and mind. (Which would also fix the issue of who we vote into the government). I’m neither politician nor preacher, but I an see clearly where we are and where we need to go to get to where we NEED TO BE. In the Bible, God Judged His chosen people harshly when they turned away from Him. If not truly His chosen people, we are at least a blessed people and we have obviously turned our backs on God. I also believe we are either BEING JUDGED or are about to be! At this point only His mercy can save us.
