Health Care Reform: The Future of America's Liberty or Its Destruction?, Part Four

Conclusion—Hope has a Name: It is Jesus Christ!



The future of American liberty and civil disobedience depends on the government doing two things: recognizing that they can not achieve anything on their own and admitting that they have wronged God and the American people. These two things will bring this nation closer to the final step which will be submitting to God’s authority.


Humbling ourselves does not mean America as a nation loses the rights and liberties assigned her by God. Rather it means regaining the leadership of Jesus Christ. Instead of a human government leading this nation with all the burdens that entails, the nation as a whole would defer to the Lordship of Jesus Christ. He has proven Himself more than capable of carrying the whole world on His shoulders. Otherwise, why celebrate Easter? Are we, as a nation so prideful that we would allow this great democratic experiment to fail because of a mistaken belief that we can save ourselves from destruction without the guiding hand of God? The president of the United States, members of Congress, and the Supreme Court have tried and have failed to set this country back on course. In fact, they have only made things worse. The alternative then is far more preferable. We, as a nation, must recognize our failure, and swallow our pride, and bow before the Lord God Almighty, and ask His forgiveness. Only by doing this can this great nation of America emerge from the moral and spiritual quagmire that we have fallen into. Hopefully, America will be wiser and more humbled for the learning experience. Otherwise we, as a nation, will go into the darkness of lawlessness and anarchy with a whimper instead of a bang. Which will America’s government choose: salvation or destruction?
