Fredrick Rice: Looking for a voice to lead us from the wilderness

Where is the voice in the wilderness? Can anybody see what is happening in our country? Can anybody see how far we have strayed from our founding fathers and the biblical principles from which we based our foundation on?

Look at where we are now; families falling apart, marriage redefined, sexual immorality everywhere and on all levels. All of our problems are directly related to our separation from God. You say there is no God, I say that the heavens and the earth declare the glory of God. We are spiritual beings and there is more to life than what we can see.

We are on a slippery slope and our country is in trouble. We are about to elect someone into the White House who has no business being there and he will send us further into the abyss. God only blesses those who turn to Him, but as time goes on our country has turned its back on God and strayed from His word. How did we get this far? Where is the voice in the wilderness that cries out for the truth? Are we all like sheep being led to slaughter?

Fredrick Rice, Modesto
