Is Christian America Humpty Dumpty?

Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall

Humpty Dumpty had a great fall

All the king's horses and all the king's men

Couldn't put Humpty together again

I've been trying to grasp the reality of what's happening to Christian America now that the Supreme Court legalized gay marriage. In this process, I started listing in my mind all of the changes in our culture in the last fifty years such as legalized abortion, legalized marijuana, unquestioned acceptance of global warming, the breakdown of the traditional family structure and cultural hostility toward Christianity. I tried to figure out what the devil happened to the United States. During my musings the nursery rhyme went through my head (my thoughts aren't always well-focused). Then as musings often develop, I started equating Humpty Dumpty to the United States.

About My Book: Pilgrim's Progress in Today's World and Today's Language

My Christian Dilemma: The Lotto Ticket

One of my great weaknesses in my Christian life used to be buying lotto tickets. I figured it wasn't a sin because all I was doing was asking God: Can I have $17 million today? He would answer me either yes or no (Makes sense to me!.)

God Didn't Give His Best Friend a "To Do List"

Enoch was very special to God and God commended him publicly. In fact, Enoch was so special that God spared him the suffering of dying a physical death.
