BEDROCK

There are two groups of people in this country.  There are people who are grateful to God for what He's done.  These feel a sense of accountability to God.

Then there are those who are ungrateful and have no sense of obligation or accountability to God or anyone.  They're accountable to themselves.

They don't trust in God.  They trust in them.

But if we remove God from our picture, what then becomes the foundation for how we're going to move forward?  Because there has to be something that forms a bedrock.  Our Declaration of Independence says it's God, but we seem to be expelling Him from our process.  So what then is the new foundation, because there has to be one.

I believe the new foundation . . . is us.  We've become independent of God, as if that's human progress.

Prosperity and humility don't co-habitate very well and as America has gotten richer and richer, she has lost her meekness.  And when you lose your humility and seek your own way, then you lose your dependence on Almighty God.

You're going to say: 'I pulled this off on my own.'

When we think we've done it in the strength of our own hand, then we're no longer accountable to anyone . . . but us.

"Each of us will give an account of himself to God."  (Romans 14:12)

And be blessed.
