THE SOUL OF AMERICA V

"Beware that you do not forget the Lord your God...

lest, when you have eaten and are full,...

and your silver and your gold are multiplied,...

when your heart is lifted up, and you forget the Lord your God...

and say in your heart,
'My power and the might of my hand have gained me this wealth.'...

If you by any means forget the Lord your God...

I testify against you this day that you shall surely perish." Deuteronomy 8:11-14, 17, 19 (see also July 2)

"A democracy cannot exist as a pernament form of government

It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves money from the public treasury.

From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most money from the public treasury, with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy, always followed by dictatorship." Alexander Tyler

"The average age of the world's great civilizations has been 200 years.

These nations have progressed through the following sequence:

From bondage to spiritual faith,

from spiritual faith to great courage,

from courage to liberty,

from liberty to abundance,

fron abundance to selfishness,

from selfishness to complacency,

from complacency to apathy,

from apathy to dependency,

and from dependency back to bondage."

"Their inward part is destruction...
Pronounce them guilty, O God!
Let them fall by their own counsels." Psalms 5: 9-10

In "The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire:, the thesis is this, 'That it fell, not because of the superior enemy on the outside: but because of the decay of Rome on the inside.' "

Rome was not murdered, she committed suicide! David Jeremiah

Where then shall hope be found?

"If My people who are called by My name
will humble themselves,
and pray and seek My face,
and turn from their wicked ways,
then I will hear from heaven,
and will forgive their sin and heal their land."

IIChronicles 7:14

Please hold Debi in your prayers.
