Dear Editor,

Everyone can see all the problems of every kind we are having all over our country. Most of them are our own fault.

I wish we could blame everything on the president. We could just elect a new one. The problems will stay with us, but they are going to get much worse.

I wrote the R.C. Journal four years ago when we complained about no jobs, cost of food, gas, and said enjoy yourself because things were going to get a lot worse.

Look around today and enjoy what you see. Things are going to get much worse. Even though we live in the best place in the world.

I would die for America, but today we are no longer the Lighthouse to a dark, dying, sinful world. The Cross of Christ, the laws of God, his Holy word. True love for him, and love for others as we love our self is in a downward dive we might never recover from.

Too many Americans have died for freedom that is taken for granted. We can’t hate people here today that serve phony, dead Gods, or no God at all. We must love sinners, but hate sin. As Christians we are not perfect or without sin.

We do need to repent, trust God, unite in prayer that he will heal our land. We must trust God by faith for our problems, not curse him for the fires, floods, storms, bad health and other things like wars.

We often fail each other, and I have been one of the worst sinners I know, but thank God for the blood of Jesus. I’m not like that anymore.

Today we see only the start of sorrows, but God will still answer if we unite again as a Christian nation. If not, one day he will not hear our cry.

He is the one and only true living God, and his only son Jesus who died in our place on the cross is our only salvation.

I write the same thing in almost every letter. I try not to confuse anyone, and God gives you the right to live as you please. He will not change, and only He is the way, the truth and life.

God bless you,

Joe Lyerly
