A Plot Afoot
The local economic
development group is in peril because a government takeover is being hatched.
At one time these two organizations were in partnership, but recently the
municipality wants to be the sole economic development driver and is focused on
eliminating their competition. Part of the takeover includes absconding with
land that was bought and paid for by the development group, but that is currently held
in trust by the municipality. What I find most disturbing is that a couple of the
people orchestrating the land grab are Christians. It’s as though their
political prowess is taking precedence over righteousness. The Lord describes a
righteous man, “He does not lend at usury or take excessive interest. He
withholds his hand from doing wrong and judges fairly between man and man. He follows my decrees and faithfully keeps my laws. That man is
righteous; he will surely live, declares the Sovereign LORD” (Eze 18:8-9 NIV).

Gail;
-----I question the decision to hold government unaccountable for its crimes and misdemeanors. Yesterday I heard a story about a Pennsylvania city which seized a citizen’s bank account because it had no transactions for several months. It seems the city was following the lead of a trend growing out of Europe. Accounts are considered abandoned for merely being left inactive for a while (like savings accounts are meant to be.) The citizen took the matter to court and regained his money, but city officials, the ones responsible for the ordinance and the seizure, should have been tried for theft and imprisoned for a maximum term. I don’t care what cloak a thief wears, black hoodies or government offices, he’s still a thief, and society is not safe until he’s treated like a thief.
Love you all,
Steve Corey
