For there are no pains in their death, And their body is fat. They are not in trouble as other men, Nor are they plagued like mankind. Therefore pride is their necklace; The garment of violence covers them. Their eye bulges from fatness; The imaginations of their heart run riot. They mock and wickedly speak of oppression; They speak from on high. They have set their mouth against the heavens, And their tongue parades through the earth.

As I watch our government blatantly pursuing policies that are restricting expressions of Biblical truth, I have to wonder how much longer You will tolerate the wickedness of this society. Not only the secular society, but those who claim to know You.
