“Godliness makes a great nation, but sin is a disgrace to any people.” Proverbs 14:34
Just what is “godliness”? According to the definition given on Dictionary.com, the term godliness used in biblical terms is “the quality or practice of conforming to the laws and wishes of God; devoutness and moral uprightness.” It comes down to simply reflecting the nature of the kingdom of our God in heaven in the course of our everyday life. As humans we are born with a sinful nature but when we accept Jesus as our Lord and Savior we are born again (this time spiritually, through the Holy Spirit of God). However, we live in a time where there are those who are attempting to put together a one world government. As each day passes, we get closer and closer to this becoming a reality. Every nation on this planet is becoming or already has become intertwined with one another. Our world has turned upside down. What once was, is no longer. It seems that right is no longer right and wrong is no longer wrong. We suddenly have men wanting to be women and women wanting to be men. We have our law enforcement becoming the bad guy and the lawlessness becoming the norm. We see lying and cheating becoming everyday occurrences and normal to our young people. We see things happen every day that are not able to be explained. What we are seeing in today’s world is that our governments, in our great countries, are not representing the godliness of our God in heaven. We are far from conforming to his laws and his wishes. Our governments are failing and falling to the evil around them. They also must be reborn. They too, must be reformed and begin to follow the laws and wishes of our God. Jesus is returning soon, but until he does, we must continue to fight and never give up. We must continue to pray and seek God’s help. We must build our faith to be strong and non-wavering. We can do all things through Christ Jesus who gives us strength! (Philippians 4:13) PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL THINGS!
