President Obama at the G-20 meeting today speaking with Turkey leader said, "We don't consider ourselves a christian nation or a muslim nation, but a nation of citizens bound by a set of values." Well, that's news to me. (I see it coming though) In his book "The Audacity of Hope" (Constitution chapter) he speaks about the constitution as something behind the times, a guide, that "must be read in context of an ever-changing world." After reading the chapter twice I am led to believe that some of his notions are correct, but without some absolute to rely on the Constitution will always be left for mulitiple translations and changing if it hinders our progress as a nation. This is clearly the teachings of William James who brought the philosopy of "Truth was relative to time, place, and purpose". If this be true then there is no truth other than what is believed today. Our nation is in for some big changes, and I don't think they will all be good ones.
God doesn't have a backup plan in his purpose. What He says stands the test of time. Psalm 119:89. Thank God.

Bank of England under attack during G-20
Well, thousands of protestors and activists seem to be expressing some strong views against the banks today as they use police barricades to break out bank windows. Some banners I saw read, ‘One world, one country, one currency’, ‘Abolish Money’, ‘Banks are evil’, and ‘No war, no rich, no poor’. These are definitely socialistic attitudes for society. There will never be peace like what is sought after until Jesus Christ sets up His kingdom. But meanwhile, I have mixed emotions about being involved with the G-20. Why? This one reason, we stand to give up too much by cooperating with the suggestions and demands of these other nations. Gordon Brown was quoted, ‘We must stand united to do whatever necessary to solve our global problems.’ Well, we already know that most foreign countries want us to give up the dollar for a one world currency. Dangerous times are coming for America. (That’s one way to get ‘In God We Trust’ off the currency) So, what can you do? Look, these are times we MUST be involved with our congress representatives. If you think they can’t help then you are defeated already. I too will be writing my representative; at least he will know one person is concerned! I know I am not the only one, so find out who your rep is and send off that letter or email or phone call. God Bless America.
