I’ve heard people say that so many Americans are armed that we could never be invaded by a foreign power. I always assumed that was true, but I’m rethinking that.

I was witnessing at the bus station, and the lady I was speaking with said she was a Christian. I was walking away from her, and she shouts to the guy across the street asking if he could give her a bus pass.

Rumor has it, that 60% of Fremont County residents receive food stamps. I don’t know if that’s true or how to verify it.

It’s true that a lot of people have guns, but it seems like whoever wanted to take over could probably buy people off pretty easy. The state this country is in is pretty sad. I think people can be bought off pretty cheap. Then, after they’re bought off, all the guns would be turned on the good guys.

And it doesn’t have to be a foreign power. Hitler took over when inflation was out of control and people were hungry and without work. All he had to do to take over was give them jobs and food, so this is not without precedent.

Pastors need to start teaching that government handouts are evil. Not only because we have so much pride that we can’t take a handout. Though I wish that were true. Government handouts are evil, because:

1. The government gets their money by stealing it from people.
2. It is easy to become dependent on government. We’re supposed to be dependent on God.
3. Christians are supposed to be hard working (look up Protestant work ethic). We work for the Lord and to serve others (the greatest commandments). We work hard and the Lord provides.

How is it that we’ve got to the point where so many Christians are on food stamps, social security, medicare, free summer lunches and school lunches and public school? Government cheese comes with a trap. If Christians can’t live obediently to the Bible, who will?
