We all need to sacrifice for our country’s future

Vast numbers of Americans proclaiming themselves followers of Christ have had it comparatively easy when measured against saints who martyred for their faith.

Their ultimate sacrifice reveals a level of belief to shame every American, who fears the present economic disaster facing our country, who have talked about making sacrifices with little effort toward giving up anything themselves.

It's easier to blame the rich than examine one's own economically wasteful appetites, that convenient living has made the major contributor to creating this economic meltdown.

Christians have been called to be good stewards of what God has given us. God is only concerned with how the individual believer adheres to and lives up to the teachings of His only begotten son. Unless every person makes the effort to do the righteous thing, to make financial sacrifices, America shall not survive the tribulations to come.
