Men who would prefer to live in a paradise must be willing
to perform the responsibilities for the preservation of that paradise—sacrifice,
self control, serving not just for self but for the good of others, and
adhering to righteous standards for all including being accountable, educating
ourselves, and endeavoring to reach our potential.
We may pray to God to make for us a paradise and HE can and
HE has. But, HE entrusts men to work together with and under HIM and with one
another to dress and keep it. When we pray to HIM to do everything while we do
as we please, we frustrate grace, our potential, and ourselves. Somebody oughta
must become I will.
Rather than to talk of doing and hiding out in fear, we must
get it in gear and walk the talk to make our communities all that they could
be. Pointing fingers while doing nothing is unproductive. All peoples within
the community must act together, pray, plan, perform, and be accountable and hold
one another accountable to make positive change.
The real crime today is the crime of apathy, ignorance, self-centeredness,
and the acceptance of declining morals.
Men who would prefer to live in a paradise must be willing
to perform the responsibilities for the preservation of that paradise—Honoring
God not just with words but in deeds toward HIM and one another.
And the Lord God took the man, and put him into the garden
of Eden to dress it and to keep it. Genesis 2:15
