Sad there is so little truth spoken in politics and it is all about money
for the powerful - so many lies on health care, wars, education, safety, guns, security .....etc

It is sickening!
People are dying because of the lies and no one seems to care - it is all about the noise.

"if this is going to be a Christian nation that doesn't help the poor, either we have to pretend that Jesus was just as selfish as we are, or we've got to acknowledge that He commanded us to love the poor and serve the needy without condition and then admit that we just don't want to do it" ..... Stephen Colbert

1. To some extent people can't do it completly.

I can't give everything all the time. I try to argue for better ideas, and try to do what I think is best, but know that I can not, or choose not to reach the perfection of giving all I have, all the time, for those reasons.

I still have concepts of having friends, having beer and travel money, working in a job that is fulfilling, and a few other things, but where I do have those wants, I try to keep them in moderation.

So how can I be saved. :(


I can be saved, because nothing is impossible with God. :)


Grace.


However I don't think that is a blank check, and why I think of it as all things in moderation, even while falling short, like all people do.

2. I share your thoughts - and it has permeated all branches of gov't
all the noise is to cover up the greed of the politically elite
