Headlines Demonstrate Worries are Unfounded

 

Jobs: 'Not as bad as we thought'

Employers trim payroll for fourth straight month, although decline is less than forecasts. Unemployment rate dips to 5%.

The economy, and the response of late, has illustrated one of the great lessons of life.

I challenge you to do this, write down two or more things that you are worried about happening within the next couple of weeks. For example, I am worried that I will not be able to find time to do my laundry next weekend. Then take your list after the time has passed and mark out which things that you worried about came to pass or whether your worries were unfounded.

Most of the things that we worry about are not worth worrying about. We waste energy worrying. That is why Jesus said, “Do not worry.” (Matthew 6).

Bumper Sticker Back Talk: Everyone is created equal. Some are just more equal than others.

The idea liberals have that not having the same amount of money as others amounts to "inequality" is one of the most destructive forces in the world today as it was in the past century. 100,000s of people have died in the name of economic equality under the left's favorite free-speech supressing dictators.
 
What else is wrong with economic equality? It is destructive in a society to promote economic equality because it necessarily demotes financial responsibility. What message does it send to people if you tell them, "no matter what you do, the government will take care of you"? That destroys the will of anyone who is tempted to make irresponsible decisions and it destroys the incentive for anyone willing to work hard for progress.
 
The other trade-off is this, that you can have economic equality or you can have liberty. You cannot have both. Do you trust your governing officials to make decisions for you and your money? Or would you rather take responsibility for your own life and keep the precious liberty entrusted to us by the brave men and women that have fought to make this country what it is, the greatest nation on God's green earth.?*
