Three Ways To Come Together

1) Adapt to the Bible.

In a country,

voted number one for Christianity,

how is it that we have been,

plagued with division,

for four-hundred and fifty years?

Although this country,

does have it's wickedness,

We are known for Christianity.

One of the problems,

is that we often use the Bible,

to justify our actions.

Rather than twisting,

the meanings of the Word of God,

we need to let the Bible Change us.

I have seen it to many times.

It has happened to many times in history.

There was once a wicked man,

named Adolph Hitler.

He manipulated millions of people with the Bible.

He turned to the Bible,

and tried to use it to justify,

murdering six million Jews.

We need to stop,

trying to change the Word,

and soften our hearts,

so that we may,

allow the Word to change us.

2) Take responsibility for our own actions.

Stop blaming everyone,

for your problems.

It is no secret,

that the world is a mean place.

Life is hard.

It is time we accept that,

and stop complaining,

everytime something bad happens in our lives.

Whether it is your fault or not,

people are not always,

going to be there for you.

It is a sad fact.

Stop blaming the system,

and playing the race card.

That will only get you so far,

and not very far at that.

It may work,

between the ages of twelve and twenty-one,

but it is hard to take a person serious,

when that is their only argument.

The truth is that,

there are a whole lot of people,

that are worse off than us.

I understand that we go through those years,

where nobody is right but us.

Still, eventually we need to realize,

that that is not getting us anywhere,

and we eventually need to grow up.

3) Don't confuse movement with progress.

I have seen a few movements in my lifetime.

Just because it is called a movement,

does not mean that it will move us forward.

In fact, most of the movements,

that I have witnessed,

has divided this country and hurt this country.

One of, if not the most iconic civil rights leaders,

was Rev. Dr. Martin Luther king Jr.

What set him apart from others,

was that he wanted to defeat,

the evil of this country with love.

He knew that the only way,

to do that was through Jesus Christ.

THAT is what brought those people together in Washington.

THAT is what he stood for.

THAT is what he died for.

That was progress.

Many movements come and go.

The fact of the matter is that,

what starts out as good intentions,

usually looses it way,

or does not end well without God.

Those are the three ways to come together.

Still, sadly I feel,

as though there will always be,

this curse of division,

looming over this countrie's head.
