Hey America “Put some Respect on God’s Name!”





America has been known as a Christian nation yet from its inception the name of Jesus has been used blasphemously starting with the justification of slavery; the justification of stealing land from Native Americans; the justification of relegating all minorities to a sub human category; burning crosses of hatred…goodness and mercy strangled…hanging from trees swinging in the breeze…the disrespecting of earth in search of the almighty dollar…pollution prevails.

Hey America “Put some respect on God’s name!”

Three percent of the population controls the wealth in this great nation…it’s all about the money… the bling-bling…capital gain…no shame in the game; prisons for profit making money off of human misery; high cost of medicine...high cost of health care making money off of people’s infirmities; high cost of housing making money at the expense of families in homeless shelters living a helter-skelter existence.

Hey America “Put some respect on God’s name!”

Racial slurs flying through the air. Build a wall keep the southern neighbors out and without a doubt limit the number of Muslims coming to this country and you will see no more terrorists. Bear arms and sound the alarm…assault weapons are here to stay. Let’s  take America back…back to the day of reckoning and racist rhetoric.  Turn back the clock and stop Obamacare! No profit in universal healthcare… so there!  Don’t spend the money…don’t spend the money…don’t spend the money.

Hey America “Put some respect on God’s name!”

God's Word says feed the hungry…set the oppressed free…help the homeless; reach out to the hopeless...visit the sick… comfort the afflicted…go to the prisons…show compassion…love ye one another like sisters and brothers. God so loved us that He sent his son Jesus to live the perfect life.  The Christian walk is not about talk or hypocrisy.  Let empathy rule…love in deeds…sewing good seeds.  Live in truth…let God’s word take root.

Hey America “Put some respect on God’s name!”

Jesus the epitome of spiritual love…sent by God the Father above…set the standard high for you and I. Love God…love your neighbor like you love yourself. Come to know divine wealth. Love your enemies. Turn the other cheek...seek God...pray for those who misuse and abuse you.  Jesus sacrificed his life for us…to open our eyes that we might obtain the prize of his Holy Spirit…to abide in us both here on earth and throughout eternity in a city not made with hands.
