To the Editor:
Satan’s goal is to get control of the most powerful nation in the world. The leaders of America are thinking efforts come from self instead of from God’s blessings. The attitude of promoting self and using people rather than the Lord’s way.
Convincing self and others that character is not an issue when it comes to their leadership. Making it legal to take the life of unborn babies. Cheapening human lives, so that the lives of animals are valued more than human beings. Making it socially acceptable to take one’s life and invent machines to make it convenient. Take God out of schools where even the mention of His name could be used for a lawsuit.
Take control of the news medial so there will be a continuous effort to pollute the mind of everyone. Convince the world that people are born homosexuals and their lifestyles accepted. Convince people that right and wrong are determined by some who call themselves authorities by referring to their agenda as politically correct.
Persuading people that the church, prayer, faithfulness and obedience are optional.
Watching the new, I wonder if we are there or close to it. If I were Satan, I guess I would continue the way we are. Ronald Reagan once said, “If we ever forget that we are a nation under God, then we will be a nation gone under.”
