Over 20 years ago I began to write a letter to America, asking these two innocent questions. America;
- Are you falling?
- From where are you falling?
Well, with years of research, ministry, observance, and life experience, I’m becoming more enlightened to the answers. I want to challenge you to ponder on a phrase called “Frenetic Temperance” as I flow through a read I started. I also would like to hear your thoughts about the following introduction from “Return To Order”.
I don’t necessarily exactly agree with everything in this writing but, there are some very eye opening revelations that are worthy to be explored. Thank you & God bless!
Let’s begin with examining this introduction image of the Cruise Ship 🚢
“Introduction
Back on Course If there is an image that corresponds to the state of the nation, it would be that of a cruise ship on a never-ending cruise. On each of its multiple decks, we find every modern comfort and entertainment. The bands are playing, the theaters are full, the restaurants crowded, and the boutiques well stocked. The atmosphere is outwardly marked by fun and laughter. Everywhere there is dazzling spectacle, amusing games, and gadgetry. There is always one more joke or one more dance to keep the party going. The cruise ship gives an almost surreal impression of fantasy, unrestraint, and delight. Cruises are normally celebrations for special occasions, but this party cruise is different. Over the decades, many have come to see the cruise not as a holiday but as an entitlement; it is no longer an exceptional event but the norm. Rather than leave the ship, many seek instead to prolong the party on board without worrying about a final destination, or who will pay the bill. http://Istockphoto.com/ dragan saponjic The state of the nation might be compared to a cruise ship on a never-ending cruise. The bands are playing and the decks are full of light and activity. No one wants to declare that the party is over.”
