What’s Really Wrong With Society and How to Fix It

I have read a lot of Joel Osteen, as well as Creflo Dollar. How they helped me is that they showed me just how loving God really is and how much he loves me.
It comes with a price though because I am on both of the mailing lists, and they are constantly sending me requests these days. I’m a little tired of it, especially since Joel Osteen gave the dedication for the new Houston mayor, who is gay. Instead of blessing her, why isn’t he trying to minister to her and tell her the truth?
Since I found Joel Osteen long after I got saved, and I had already read the Bible several times, then I understood how his message fit in. Although I found it helpful, it is incomplete.
That’s why I read “Our Daily Bread” every day now. I am a more mature Christian. I need meat, not milk.
In the July 3rd devotional, they talk about the snail and how slow it is. The snail though, perseveres. That’s how he gets to where he needs to go.
As Christians, we need to persevere too. Jesus never promsed us that it would be easy after we got saved. What he told us that he would be there for us to help us.
Tough times are actually a good thing because they make us stronger. It’s too bad that these days in our society we are being told that the government will fix everything for us, and we don’t have to do anything. This is why so many in the world fail and never experience everything God has in store for us.
We can live the successful life, and a life of peace and happiness if we are willing to go through the trials.
Romans 5:1-5Romans 5:1-5
English: King James Version (1611) - KJV
5 1 Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: 2 By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God. 3 And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience; 4 And patience, experience; and experience, hope: 5 And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.

1Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:2By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.
3And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience;
4And patience, experience; and experience, hope:
5And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.
Jesus is the answer. Plain and simple.
