WHEN HALF THE PEOPLE ……….

By Pastor Danny R. Biddy
Old River Baptist Church, Dayton, Texas

November 7th, 2012

As I reflect over the decisions made in our country in yesterday's national election, the words of the great preacher, Adrian Rogers (1931-2005) come to mind.

"You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the wealthy out of prosperity. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that my dear friend is the beginning of the end of any nation. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it."

I join you in prayer for our country.
