Earthly "gods" & Religious Snobs
Why do so many people need to feel superior over others?
The biblical explanation is vanity. Lucifer — described as beautiful and cunning — wanted to be God, so he stirred up a war in heaven, and ended up in hell. Adam and Eve’s offspring Cain was jealous of Abel, his humble brother, and killed him. Cain was marked by God.
Unfortunately, many of the human race did not learn that God respects “the humble” over “the haughty.”
Are Angels Among Us?
Nearly 70 percent of Americans believe in angels a recent Gallup poll found. (See https://news.gallup.com/poll/508886/belief-five-spiritual-entities-edges-down-new-lows.aspx)
I was not a part of the poll; I do, however, believe in angels. I sometimes wonder if I once had breakfast with an angel.
Is America Truly A Christian Nation?
Constitutionally, the answer is “NO.”
Americans are not ruled by religious law. Christianity, however, is the religious choice for seven out of 10 Americans.
Overwhelmingly, our local and state leaders claim to be Christians.
Nationally, most of our U.S. senators and representatives present themselves as Christians.
Sadly, we don’t “see Jesus” among many of them.

How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High. Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit.
ISAIAH 14:12-15
