Who (or what) is your savior?


As Jenn and I were driving through Portland last night, we passed some of the people who were protesting (I think it's called "Occupy Portland" or something) and my understanding is that their hope is for political and economic reform.

I am all for political and economic reform, but if their hope is that the US will become a better nation by looking to government as the savior, they will be constantly disappointed. There is One, and only one savior, because their is one underlying problem that transcends nations, corporations and people: Sin.

The problems we see in corporations and nations are simply sin with political and financial backing on a very large scale. These problems will not cease until the foundations of these problems (selfishness and pride on a personal level) are repented of on a massive scale...and the way this county is going, that is unlikely to happen.

Lord come quickly. May You be glorified and people be saved by You, our one and only savior.
