"No one can control all the circumstances and events that come to us day by day. Oftentimes things happen which we have no control over. However, each one of us CAN control our REACTION to what transpires in our lives. We can make a conscious choice whether we will allow the events of our lives to make us BITTER or BETTER. We can become BITTER as acid---mean, sour, miserable to be with or near---or we can use (with God's grace and help) the happenings of our lives to make us more loving, kind, considerate of others---more like Jesus!" This world is on the edge of moral decay. America's strength cannot rise above the righteousness and strength of her churches. Faithless and false leadership in the church leads to spiritual devastation and ruin not only for the leaders but for the people they lead. Many times people are balanced precariously between heaven and hell, thus, the truth must not be altered, watered down, or compromised, whether it be in the church or in the U.S. government.
