Democracy is just another form of despotism. In the case of democracy, the despot is man’s own fallen nature.

We've been studying ancient Greece and Rome. The books say democracy began with the Greeks and they talk of how wonderful it is...and then they go on to tell of what happened next - the wars, the revolutions when power became intolerably corrupted, the slaves that had no voice. Yeah, that democracy is a wonderful thing alright. And this country is going the way of Greece and Rome. If only we would look to Paul and all the other apostles to see how they lived in those circumstances and follow their lead. Lisa
It has become an idol, hasn't it. And the sad thing is that the church has embraced the world's system, even to the point of recklessly assigning divine favor to fallen constructs.
Additional communications to me may be e-mailed to spcrick@msn.com. Any negative e-mails will be deleted without response, however sincere questions will be answered. I seek edification and deeper knowledge of Christ and His truth not a destructive and meaningless religious chatter. May God's Spirit open all of our hearts to Him.
I am an ordained Baptist minister but more importantly I am a follower of the Lord Jesus Christ. I was saved in 1975 watching Billy Graham on television after having lived a wicked and Christless life. I graduated with a three year degree from Trinity Bible College in Dunedin, Florida. I have three children, two grandsons, and one granddaughter. I not only see the obvious falling away of the present day church, but I humbly acknowledge that we all are in desperate need of a massive revival. I hope this blog ministers to you, and may Jesus Himself receive all the preeminence!

Deception abounds today.
