Faith, Hope, and Love, we believe, are the three great VIRTUES...WITH LOVE BEING THE GREATEST...!!!
What, then, IS the greatest SIN of our day...???
Well, in this pre-election atmosphere in our economically anemic world, the political power mongers who consistently take aim at the candidates who rise to FRONT RUNNER status, are guilty of a little mentioned, but very prevalent transgression (read ‘SIN’) in our society.......CALUMNY...
Definition of CALUMNY
1
: a misrepresentation intended to harm another's reputation
2
: the act of uttering false charges or misrepresentations maliciously calculated to harm another's reputation
Notice...’misrepresentation’ and ‘false charges’ are central to defining CALUMNY...
BUT...As a practicing Christian...even if I tell ‘THE TRUTH’ with the intention of damaging another’s reputation, I have transgressed, I have sinned...
However in our secularly driven world, where morality and truth are subordinated to political power and financial success, ‘SIN’ is non-existent...!!!
That is why...before our Nation can recover from the viral infection of the recent long lived ‘depression’...IT MUST RETURN TO THE BASICS, GET DOWN ON ITS KNEES, and REPENT...!!!
Another way to express this is to beg God for forgiveness of our ‘corporate’ sins, and beg for His blessings on our Country and political system, and ‘unite’ in this cause...!!!
Then...THE TRUTH WILL SET US FREE...!!!
Meaningful and constructive debate are healthy qualities in solving our national woes...Calumny, chaos, and power mongering are counterproductive to a successful effort in that regard...!!!
Let us ask God to lead us away from the allure of the ‘CALUMNISTS’ and chaotic tactics, and into a world where peace, common sense, and veracity prevail...!!!
Have a great weekend...!!!
