“God bless America” is a phrase often used by politicians. But in the mouths of those who ignore the truth of the God, they are invoking something meaningless. It will not matter who gets elected if the heart of this nation continues to turn away from God.
Government attempts to institutionalize compassion, which won’t work without embracing the God’s compassion. Government may try to extract generosity toward the needy, but whenever that money goes through government, very little of it actually reaches the poor. Far better, and with less overhead and restrictions, is the generosity inspired by godliness expressed person to person in, and from, our own communities.
