Let there be light........

    

    And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.  And God saw the light, and it was good; and God divided the light from darkness.  After watching the DNC highlights and actually listening to Joe Biden's acceptance speech for the nomination I found myself longing for exactly what his policies are.  He relied heavily on pointing out all the negative and bad in the country.  He spend a lot of time creating a very depressing view of America.  The one thing he didn't do was explain how he would make it better.  He also spent a lot of time using the contrast of light versus dark when referring to himself and President Trump.  I also spent a few days listening to the President speak about his plans for a second term.  He also spent time pointing out the bad thing Biden and the democrats have been doing. But his tone was much different.  He spoke of how much we have prospered in his first term, how our economy was the best it has every been (prior to Covid), and how he knows we can not only return to that point but exceed it in his second term.  His tone and tenor was optimistic.  Biden's was pessimistic.  So the difference was not only heard but felt.  

    All the left has done is point out how terrible we are as a country, how our world is falling apart, and how it is never going to get better without tearing it all down.  Their tone and talk increases racial tension, increase angst and add to the divide in our politics.  They rely on personal attacks, as does the President, but theirs seem to come from a place of true hate and not of replying to an attack already having taken place.  We hear BLM talk about how we are still the most racist country in the world.  We hear Antifa talk about how our businesses are abusing their employees.  We hear our left wing politicians call for violent uprising and call for support of these fascists who are damaging our great cities.  

    During the DNC caucuses the Pledge of Allegiance was recited.  The only problem was they left the word God out of it.  Why is that important?  Because it is a further removing religion from our citizens.  It is the destruction of faith and democracy that creates the darkness we are seeing.  People burning the flag, destroying businesses, injuring and killing innocent people, and simply not caring about the lives of others.  In the bible we saw a very similar thing happen in Sodom and Gomorrah.  The people became wicked and engaged in acts of self satisfaction.  To stop this God destroyed the cities with sulfur and fire.  While many people have left faith behind in our society there are similarities to this story.  As we move further way from God and the goodness of man we will find ourselves falling further into darkness.

    This election we are being pushed to choose lightness or darkness.  As you watch the politicians speak take a true look at who is pushing each one.  Not based on your past biases of the two candidates but by the words they are saying now.  By which groups of people are backing each one.  We have to do everything we can to save our Republic and this experiment we call America at all costs.  Many empires before us have gone down this path that lay ahead and it was the road to their ultimate destruction.  So Joe Biden did speak some truth, this is a choice between Darkness and Light.  I just have a feeling he is not on the side he thinks he is.
