Why am I here on this planet? What is my life's purpose? For what do I fight, and for what does PHC fight?

I fight for the freedom to shout God's truth from the rooftops in its fullest form, for the courage to shout, and for the words to use. This is my work, and if I rejoice in it day by day I will be happy.

Of course, it's not that simple. I have to know God's truth first. And my part of the battle will probably involve quiet service, not the leading of mighty armies. Still, I expect at least a few of those vivid, life-changing moments. I've met some already - short, intense spiritual heights when God gave me strength of soul far beyond my normal ability.

It is entirely right to aspire to a godly ideal in a fallen world, so long as a person keeps one eye on the ideal and one eye on the world at all times. America can be changed, and it must be changed if it is to survive. But, God help me, I don't see how! Is the survival of America even the ideal?

No, the ideal is one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. Strong, healthy families, with wide open spaces for children to play without fear of sexual predators. Churches that speak to each other and preach the whole Bible for sheer thankfulness to God, not for money. Schools organized by and accountable to parents, not to state or federal governments. A wise, loving people, full of desire to study God's creation and to use their own creative aspect to glorify Him. Oh Lord God, why can't it be this way?

So long as we say it can't, it never will.  ¶ 9:16 PM
