An Unintended Sunday School Lesson

This Past Sunday Morning we had a missions day at church where representatives of various missions our church is involved with discussed their needs and purpose.

The first group we listened to represented a group with missions in Guatamamla. The young man leading the discussion had grown up as a missionary's son and had taken on his fathers charge. He said that one of the major obstacles in bringing the Lords word to Guatamala was the fact that a communist dictator had taken over the country and this change was making their work much more difficult that in past years.

Someone from the group asked what aspect of the imposition of communism had made their mission more difficult. His answer was like a revelation and in so many ways brought clarity to what is happening in our country today. He said that with communism the government worked to keep the people down that the government did not want their people to have access to anything that gave them power, that the governments goal was to create an environment where the people of the country would be dependent on the government for everything.

Everyone in the room had the same reaction as I, you could see it, feel it, and sense it, eyes raised, with expressions of wait a minute, that's what is going on right here in our own country! One guy even mumbled under his breath: "you mean like Obama". That really stuck with me. We all sense what is happening to our country, you just have to hope that the people of this great country will not be led easily down such a path.

It's time to wake up AMERICA!
