I was just reading an interesting story on the ABC 27 WHTM news site in Pennsylvania, USA entitled "Harrisburg Mayor Plans 3-Day Fast". It concerns
the plans of Harrisburg mayor, Linda Thompson, to pray and fast for three
days, in order to seek God's Guidance, and bring unity to the city's
leaders, as they seek solutions to the serious financial crisis that the
city is currently facing.
In this modern day -- even in so-called "Christian" America -- it isn't
often that you find a political leader who is courageous enough, and willing
to make such a public stand for our Christian faith. Most politicians would
no doubt be concerned with how doing such a thing would affect their
standing with their constituents, particularly with those who are not people
of faith. In my view, this woman is to be commended.
Some people may argue, "Well, what about the separation of Church and
State?" My answer to critics and naysayers is this: Really? Should we really care? Perhaps if more of America's political leaders got serious with God -- and publicly -- more of the nation's problems would be solved. Sadly, most
of them are too concerned with political correctness.
The bottom line is that to divorce God from government is to commit national suicide. If you don't believe it, read the Old Testament, and see what
happened each time that the Israelites abandoned God. I also encourage you
to read my seven-part series "The Fruits of Disobedience", as well as the three-part series "What Is Wrong With Modern America?" and related articles.
