Peter Hitchens Quote

This was written about England but it applies to the United States as well.

We are a second-rate power, rapidly slipping into third-rate status. We have a weak currency and shrunken armed forces, deployed as auxiliaries in wars that are not in our interest, and we are largely governed from abroad.

Our Parliament is a bought and paid-for puppet chamber. Our culture and customs have been debauched and our younger generations corrupted, as subject populations are, with drink, drugs and promiscuity.

We are compelled, like an occupied people, to use foreign measures to buy butter or meat, and our history is largely forgotten or deliberately distorted in the schools to suit anti-British dogma. Those schools are unable to educate most of our children up to the levels of our main rivals, so ensuring that we provide no challenge to them. Our country has been Balkanised into provinces and regions.

Our language is invaded by foreign words and expressions. Our food and most of our consumer goods are imported, along with our TV programmes and films.

The remaining veterans of the supposedly glorious struggle, far from being gratefully honoured, often live in pinched poverty, scared of feral youths, or die neglected in squalid hospitals in a country many of them no longer recognise as their own.

Steve Brown

I discovered Steve Brown only recently. Steve is a bible teacher how has two radio programs. The first is Steve Brown etc, a weekly talk show with the best talk about freedom I have heard. If you want to see if a person understands Grace email them # Free Sins from the website. Not many people get it. The second show is a daily 15 minute radio show called Key Life. I recommend both shows just be careful you don't fall into the trap that I have done my whole Christian walk of making Steve any thing more than a human being.
I have been reading Steve's wonderful book "A Scandalous Freedom" and have a few observations. Free is free. Freedom from the bondage of human teachers. All my life I looked for the "Teacher" that would have all the answers and was continually disappointed. Only God is your Teacher. Allow him to love you deeply. As Steve talks about, understand that even if you don't get any better God still loves you deeply.
The second thing is how I had created God in the image of what I have heard over the years instead of real God. I have started to ask Father to reveal himself and His love to me. I want to know the real God not the god of my creation.
