God didn't call America to do what she's doing in the world now. - Martin Luther King Jr.
What is our calling? It's based on the founding ideals found in the Declaration of Independence.
When writing the Declaration, Jefferson mentioned four ideals that have shaped all of The United States' history. These ideals were Equality, Consent of the Governed, the unalienable Rights of Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness, and finally, the Right of the People to alter or abolish the Government.
How have we fallen short?
- Racism
- Inequality
- Segregation
- Discrimination
- Hatred
- Greed
- Hatred
All of these fueled by fear. That fear comes from the top. We will not reach the ideal or Dr. King's dream unless we are will to stand up for a just America.
