In Common

(Pro 30:14 KJV)  There is a generation, whose teeth are as swords, and their jaw teeth as knives, to devour the poor from off the earth, and the needy from among men.

What is the theme of our “generation” (kind NASB) (1755)?  What is the sense of America at this time?  There was a time when Americans thought of themselves as a nation full of different people united by the principles in the Constitution and Bill of Rights.  Yes, we had our subgroups with their hang ups.  Hillbillies and Urban professors still had a certain something in common.  With all of the race baiting and divisive leadership we have had for the last ten years I wonder if that is still the case.

As Christians we need to grab hold of that old picture.  We cannot stand by and let the hate mongers divide us on race and economic situation.  Here it talks about going after the weak.  Those people always have a special place in God’s heart but remember that weak does not mean the current victim class.  It means those who do not have the power to defend themselves.

So?  The world needs to hear our message and see our example.  It needs it more than ever.  Live holy.  Love holy.
