If I remember correctly, there are three branches of government: Executive, Legislative and Judicial. As a country, we are ripping apart every branch from within. We have been demeaning each for years, which has led to a decay of the value of each. Abraham Lincoln said, "America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves."
Men and women both have demeaned the office they were elected to. Sex scandals, financial corruption, and lies upon lies have filled the halls of Washington D.C. But, D.C is made up of people, people just like you and me. They are sinners in need of a Saviour. But it leads one to think, "Where can I find the hope I need?"
There is only one place to look, God’s Word! I find hope in 2 Chronicles 7:14, "If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land."
