We don't need more money....we need God, we need REVIVAL.

I realize the research is skewered in unemployment stats but I trust the Gallup Polls. Some workers have exhausted their benefits and are not counted but are still jobless. 500,000 gave up looking for jobs. Manufacturing fell 8000 in direct areas and associated workers fell 15,000 workers, many in small business. There are 330 million in America, many are retired, elderly, children, in school, c

ollege, etc. and 31 million are without work. 9% of the workforce are part time and some already hired are seasonal workers. This means they may be back in the unemployment lines by Feb. Our boast is 7.8% unemployment rate. Yet, we are going to head toward a budget showdown due to a divided congress, small business crisis, healthcare reform and continued imports from China. 42 million people are on Food Stamps and many are working at a below poverty level income. they cannot buy a house, a car, send children to college or have a vacation. Those charitable entities show a decrease in income and an increase in needy people. The American Dream lies shattered which grew out of the Great Depression, the belief in better times. Gas prices are still high and even a small drop is fragile. What we see in faces is fear, worry, confusion, some feel hopeless and turn to drugs. We look to the Government to save us and solve our problems. They are not the answer. If we are really concerned we would be on our knees in prayer, our churches would be filled, the filth and immorality around us would be cleaned up. In 21 days God can turn this economy around but we must be willing to repent. We don't need more money....we need God, we need REVIVAL. Consider what James wrote two millennia ago, " You do not have because you do not ask. You ask and and ask wrongly, to spend it on your own passions." James 4:3-4......shall we pray? Br. Larry
