The "Change" Montra

As I watched the RNC acceptance speech by John McCain last night I heard that phrase echoed again............"CHANGE". Senator Obama is using the same phrase only with a little bit of a different meaning. What really disturbs me is the number of people down through history who campaign on this phrase, I could list quite a few just in my lifetime........but one will suffice.
Probably the most famous was Fidel Castro. He promised the people change in economics, healthcare, education and crime. After his successful campaign was complete the change in economics was; those in the government had all the money and the average citizen now lives on 12 to 15 dollars a month.......with of course....a government handout for some basics in food (complete with ration cards and government run distribution centers).
Healthcare was a great one too........the government now runs healthcare so everyone is given access to it........if you can find it. The average doctor/nurse are on the high pay grade for Cuba....about 15 dollars a month......so there's not much incentive to do a good job. Medicine is hard to come by unless you are part of the government.....hmmmmmm. When I was down there I could go to the international pharmacy and buy anything I needed....but my national pastor friend was not allowed in the store (the pharmacist was not allowed to sell anything to a national or face criminal charges). I had to go in and buy the antibiotics for his son who was very sick......great change Huh!
Education was the next target for Castro.....now all children are required to go to the government schools where they are brainwashed in Castro's brand of Socialism.........I guess that won't be much of a change for us here in America other than Christian schools being illegal when the great "CHANGE" comes our way.
And the last great change Castro brought about was crime control........he just took away all the guns from the citizens..........only government is allowed weapons..........hmmmmm, this could be fun.

Make no mistake about this upcoming election......."CHANGE" will come. The way this writer sees it is the only "CHANGE" we really need is a change backwards to what Jesus said to His disciples. He made it crystal clear.....no room for politically correct wording........

Mat 28:18-20 And Jesus came up and spoke to them, saying, "All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth.
"Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age."

Now the only question left is whether or not His disciples will obey and risk all to bring about the correct "CHANGE".............or just compromise into the PC change......your choice.
