There is need to study the Holy Scriptures

By Rudy Arizala

I am happy to read from the MIF Website that expatriates Filipinos - Dolly Banzon and Amelia Ashmann - are bringing to the Philippines Denver´s Catholic Biblical School, thus, not only spreading the "Good News" but also teaching the Holy Scriptures to our kababayans.

There is a need to study and familiarize ourselves with the Holy Scriptures for it deepens our faith. There is a need for deepening our faith as stated in the poem of Judge Roy Moore of Alabama. He wrote the following poem when he was removed from his bench because he refused to remove the framed "Ten Commandments" hanging from one of the walls of his courtroom.

AMERICA, THE BEAUTIFUL By Judge Roy Moore

America the beautiful,
or so you used to be.
Land of the Pilgrims' pride;
I'm glad they'll never see.

Babies piled in dumpsters,
Abortion on demand,
Oh, sweet land of liberty;
your house is on the sand.

Our children wander aimlessly
poisoned by cocaine
choosing to indulge their lusts,
when God has said abstain

From sea to shining sea,
our Nation turns away
From the teaching of God's love
and a need to always pray.

We've kept God in our temples,
how callous we have grown.
When earth is but His footstool,
and Heaven is His throne.

We've voted in a government
that's rotting at the core,
Appointing Godless Judges;
who throw reason out the door,

Too soft to place a killer
in a well deserved tomb,
But brave enough to kill a baby
before he leaves the womb.

You think that God's not angry,
that our land's a moral slum?
How much longer will He wait
before His judgment comes?

How are we to face our God,
from Whom we cannot hide?
What then is left for us to do,
but stem this evil tide?

If we who are His children,
will humbly turn and pray;
Seek His holy face
and mend our evil way:

Then God will hear from Heaven;
and forgive us of our sins,
He'll heal our sickly land
and those who live within.

But, America the Beautiful,
If you don't - then you will see,
A sad but Holy God
withdraw His hand from Thee.

~~Judge Roy Moore

This says it all. .

IN GOD WE TRUST!
