Three needful (and short) reads

Some days I feel like Chicken Little. Some would suggest an even stronger resemblance.

The little red light on the dashboard of our country flickers with far greater regularity than it once did.  So steady is it now days that most folks ignore it thinking it's merely a problem with the light and not with the nation as a whole.

The God who is there weighs nations in his perfect balance (Jeremiah 18:1-10).  Based upon God's word, we have been tipping the scales.  The warning light is full on at all times.  Here are three prominent issues rattling under America's hood.

• Islam:  A Christian America is not incompatible with other religions, irreligion, or even atheism.  In fact when you look around the world and through history, the nations that have proven themselves most friendly toward the free exercise of one's convictions have been those with a strong biblical foundation.  If we take a look at those nations founded upon the Koran, those that hold most fervently to it have proven the most hostile toward other religions within their borders.
  
  So how does a free America deal with a group of people that shows itself increasingly antagonistic to who we are and our way of life?  It's a question our government is ignoring.  Read Andrew McCarthy's, Islam and the State of the Union.
• Christianity.  The least tolerated philosophy in the public arena today is anything associated with Judaism or Christianity.  Television, film, universities, and courtrooms across the country demean, dissect, insult, and dismiss them as though they birthed all things evil and as though they have manacled American progress.  Ironic because it is the source of our freedoms in America.  Don't think so?  Read Dennis Prager's, God and Congress.
• Life.  Amidst Sanctity of Human Life Month, Congressman Rick Santorum had the audacity (harumph!) to compare abortion to slavery.  Considering we have nobody around who has experienced either, the harumphing should be kept to a minimum.  Does the analogy fit?  Is he comparing the level and quantity of atrocity or is he comparing how one group of humans can consider another group of humans non-persons?  Read his own words in Life is a Civil Right.

Maybe the sky isn't falling, but it sure appears that the curtain is.  Stay informed.
