Over-Indulgence
Over-indulgence and America go together like, well, America and apple pie-eating contests!
A Wise Guy Eh?
One of my all-time favorite TV shows is "The Three Stooges." Curly, Larry and Moe are still the original and best of the comedic actors specializing in "physical comedy."
Be Fruitless and Subtract?
The very first command God gave humanity was, "Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth" (Gen 1:28).

Economy Follows Character
As a Pastor, I really do try hard not to publicly endorse any specific candidates, nor publicly denounce any specific candidates for political office. No church I have ever been a part of has ever held a political rally in its sanctuary, nor invited a candidate to climb into the pulpit. I find American Christians typically fall into one of two camps regarding these matters:
