"A reporter from a national news network recently asked me: “Where do you see America today?” (MARCH 1, 2023) I told him that our nation has turned its back on God. Politicians are looking for what people want and what culture wants instead of what God wants. We need to stand on the absolute authority of God’s Word, and I believe the Bible to be the Word of God." – Franklin Graham

When he says “We”, he refers to that once collective thought of country honor, unlike today’s hyper-focus on faults. For those aware of these two factors – How far we’ve ‘turned our backs’ and secondly, how badly this continues to increase till a populous perpetually champions these perverse, the wicked and self-destructive traits. Exhibit A: Explosive precipitation of drug use, human trafficking, abusive misinformation and a frightening ideological allegiance that has given rise to a weaponized two-tier justice. Any mixture of the above will suffice.

But, it is then no surprise that any nation’s remnant of God’s flock inner candle shines ever brighter, ever happier, exhibits the inner-man of the glory of the everlasting Gospel of Jesus Christ “The power of God” which causes it to shine.


Do all things without murmurings and disputings, so that you may be blameless and innocent, children of God unblemished in the midst of a crooked and perverted generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world (Philippians 2:14,15).

That image shows exactly how we've turned our back on God, and the Franklin Grahams of the world refuse to call it out. An idol in our midst.... American Christians refuse to give up the goddess of modern Liberty. They want Christ mixed with Libertas. They want both their secular kingdom and the true Kingdom of Heaven. It doesn't work that way. Like Moses said when he came down the mountain, you have to choose God or the Golden Calf.

Love the care you exhibit not to lend oneself to that, if that is, some were inclined to venerate the SoL. As an artist and sculptor who also carries concern for man provoking Him to jealousy with the direction of seamless detection of human-form robots. Yes, a grave concern. Now as for the potential to venerate any or all of the SoL, most will tell you that isn't a problem. Can't we have items of innate beauty ("lovely" Philippians 4:8)?
