The Great American Revival of 2022

 

“Welcome 2022. A new year that can bring many changes for good as we do what is right and stand up for moral standards.  Stay strong in your beliefs and faith.”  Richard Medlock

Many media pundits and politicians like to refer to the “Great Global Reset” when they talk about plans to destroy the American way of life.  But, instead of talking about that Reset, our conversations and actions should focus on the “Great American Revival”.

America and We the People need to Return to the Basics.  Remember the phrase we used to use all the time, KISS?  “Keep It Simple Stupid”.  That way of thinking needs to return because it proved to be very successful in planning, understanding, and progress.  When ideas and discussions become too complicated, confusion and chaos develop.  Unfortunately, that’s where we are in America today.  And many believe by design.

Here are nine ways that We the People can successfully bring about the “Great American Revival”.

1. The Ten Commandments: They are as meaningful today as when Moses received them on the mount.  By applying them in our lives, we will find strength to fight the good fight.  Take the time to ponder how these laws and principles have been perverted and ignored.  Then think of ways how they can become a stronger influence in American Society.

You shall have no other gods before Me.

You shall make no idols.

You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain.

Keep the Sabbath day holy.

Honor your father and your mother.

You shall not murder.

You shall not commit adultery.

You shall not steal.

You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.

You shall not covet.

2. Parents, make your children and family a high priority in your life.

“The home is the most effective place to learn the lessons of life; truth, honor, virtue, self-control, the value of education, honest work, and the purpose and privilege of life.  Nothing can take the place of home in rearing and teaching children, and no other success can compensate for failure in the home.” David O. McKay

3. Study and understand the United States Constitution.  Know and understand where our freedoms come from and how we can successfully defend them.

"[T]he present Constitution is the standard to which we are to cling. Under its banners, bona fide must we combat our political foes -- rejecting all changes but through the channel itself provides for amendments." --Alexander Hamilton

“When We the People hold up the Constitution to Tyranny, the Constitution and America win.” Richard Medlock

4. Follow the admonition of the Founding Fathers.

An old adage: “A people must from time to time, refresh themselves at the wellspring of their origin, lest they perish.”

5. Maintaining our Freedoms should be a High Priority.

Peter Marshall said “May we think of freedom, not to do as we please, but an opportunity to do what is right.”

6. Do not allow the enemies of America and Freedom to dominate the debate.

Patrick Henry “Is life so dear or peace so sweet as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery?  Forbid it, Almighty God.  I know not what course others may take, but as for me, give me Liberty or Give me Death!

Be the louder voice for Freedom, Virtue, Values, and Moral Principles.

7. Stand up against undesirable elected persons and elect moral people.

Today we have become a nation of “rule by man”.  It has been said that many political leaders think they know more than God.  When men become a “law unto themselves” only evil will prevail.  This is not the American way.  Our Founding Fathers warned us of this happening and gave us the way to correct the problem.

“A body of men holding themselves accountable to nobody ought not to be trusted by anybody.”  Thomas Paine

8. Place “Providence or God” at the head of our families, counsels, schools. courts, and assemblies.

John Quincy Adams said “From the day of the Declaration … the American people were bound by the laws of God, which they all, and by the laws of the gospel, which they nearly all acknowledged as the rules of their conduct.”

9. Develop and maintain a “High Degree of Hope”.  America is not lost.  Who and what is lost are the leaders elected to govern and those that have decided to follow a false ideology.  America is still standing because of faithful We the People.

America is at war with forces to destroy good and right.  Our battles are moving forward and gaining ground as more Americans have decided to Stand Up and Speak Up.  Thomas Paine was correct when he said, “Those who expect to reap the blessings of freedom, must, like men, undergo the fatigue of defending it.”

We the People are the Defenders of Freedom, Liberty, and Justice.  We must decide not to grow weary or become fatigued in the good fight.  Carry On with Strength and Foresight!

May God Bless America!
