My Christmas wish list.

You may be familiar with the list of 7 Modern Sins--or not; the conditions it describes are infamously familiar to us all: 

• Wealth without work.
• Industry without morality.
• Worship without sacrifice.
• Politics without principles.
• Science without humanity.
• Knowledge without character.
• Pleasure without conscience...

This, then, is my Christmas wish list for America in 2019: Work, morality, sacrifice, principles, humanity, character and conscience. 

My prayer for  2019 and beyond:

Father create in us a hunger for what is righteous and just. Help us to understand that...

• ...Wealth driven by lust for money is evil and work is an honorable endeavor that gives us meaning and purpose. 
• ...Industry must produce access to opportunity for all.
• ...Worship demands a values-centered life and requires sacrifice.
• ...Politics is the business of the people and is a noble and self-sacrificing life-call.
• ...Science can create in us a deeper spiritual hunger. 
• ...Knowledge is a path to humility. 
• ...Pleasure is the by-product of good character.

May we be given clarity to "Do justice, love kindness and walk humbly with God" (Micah 6.8)  through Jesus Messiah, let it be. 

Do.Love.Walk.

Liveitwell!
