There is much controversy over those four letters. Some want America to return to the days of wealth and influence it once had. This is contrary to the view of the previous president of these United States. He stated that America needed a fundamental change, a place where it had no more influence and power than any other nation. In short, it was time for America to decrease and to pay restitution for the “crimes” it committed.
The current president feels the opposite and is dismantling what his predecessor did. By eliminating many of the regulations that have accumulated for sixty years, businesses are now free to progress, hence the huge increase in the economy.
So there are two camps, one dedicated to free expression and the other to monitoring past and present sins and exacting punishment and retribution on the designated conspirators. This divide between the haves and the have-nots, the responsible and social justice crowd, is brewing a stew which may come to a boil and spill over into bloodshed and civil war.
In Romans chapter one it plainly states what men are like and how it will be when the unrighteous gain full control. If we read carefully we notice what God is angry about. It’s not just the sins people commit; those are enough to incur the wrath of God. The main thing is simply this.
Even though the very creation screams of His existence, His power, and glory, men choose not to have Him in their thoughts and consider His commandments.
Romans !:18-25 ForFor the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness; Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shown it to them. For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse.
Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations and their foolish heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.
Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonor their own bodies between themselves; who changed the truth of God into a lie and worshipped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever.
I want to offer a new way of looking at MAGA that perhaps is more thought-provoking: Make America Grateful Again.
America is filled with ungrateful people and we are importing droves of people with the same sentiment. Instead of what can I do, it’s what can the collected taxes do for me. Social and justice are words that at best conjure the desire for revenge. We’ve all got these “rights” that aren’t earned and someone else is supposed to supply those needs and desires.
There isn’t enough money in the entire world to pay for the things everyone needs let alone what people think they have a right to. We live in a time of massive preoccupation with self by many and a lack of desire and ability to supply the lusts of the needy and greedy.
Reread Romans Chapter One slowly. Let’s soak in, understanding the truth of life, that men do not change, and their only hope is submission to Jesus Christ and humbling themselves to their own cross and following Him.
I think we could kickstart a whole movement by just Making America Grateful Again.
