For the meek, shy and soft spoken, its easy to allow others to walk all over you. Although, the silent majority once ruled the roost, the brash, power hungry and rude have shouted down Americans toward their ideology and worldview. Subsequently, atheists, lawyers and politicians have redefined the rules, pumping up the volume of their talking points.
In the aftermath of this stampede, foundations have been cracked and principles weakened, leaving historians scratching their heads. When England began to limit their citizens to worship God in one church, the Magna Carta was conceived, leading the way for colonists to set sail for a new land. This excitement stoked a passion in the founders, pumping out the volume to remind people of the reason each crossed the Atlantic.
When Patrick Henry stood up to naysayers at the Virginia Convention in 1775, he spoke out of the overflow of his heart, crying out for freedom. “Give me liberty or give me death,” swayed those who were on the fence, paving the way for the Revolutionary War. If the United States of America has any hopes of surviving, there needs to be a spiritual revival so that God’s blessing will not removed permanently. As you cope with today’s grim reality, may the Holy Spirit inspire you to pump up the volume, Acts 4:29, to ignite a movement to win back our moral compass.
