Joyce Meyer part 1

August 9th I had the privilege of going to Hershey Pennsylvania to hear Joyce Meyer speak.  I had never really followed her but two of my best friends from church love listening to her so I went with an expectant heart.  I wasn't disappointed either.

Joyce's husband Dave has a real passion for the history and heritage of America.  I was nice as well as encouraging to be reminded of what is happening here.  How our freedoms are slipping away and we are allowing it by not saying or doing anything.  As with anything satan does, it happens subtly that unless we are watching for it we don't even know it has happened and then we wondered how is it that God can't be mentioned in school if we are talking about the God of Isaac, Abraham and Jacob.
Now longer are children taught what is behind the writing of our Constitution let alone even taught what the Constitution says.  Then we send our teens off to college where they will grasp at anything that sounds good whether it is Godly or Constitutional or even just morally right.  Whether we accept it or not our Constitution is crumbling.  Our Constitution was God given and has been upheld since it's beginning.

Something that Doug and I often debate about is - where was the turning point in American History.
I have always held to what happened in the 30's with the New Deal introduced by Roosevelt.  Yes, it was needed at the time BUT is was never to be continued.  However, how do you take away something the people like when it is no longer necessary. The church stopped it's role of helping and started to let the government because the "church".  Now people could go to the government for the help the church once provided.

What sealed the "deal" was this concept of separation of church and state.  Because the people no longer knew what the law truly said and where this concept came from, they sat back and allowed it to happened.  Even if we knew that there was no basis for this separation, we refused to believe anything bad would come out of it, so we chose to do nothing.
