This is a Litany from " Jesus for President" -by Shane Claiborne

I feel that these are things that the church in America needs to be thinking about if we truly are wanting to live out the message of loving your neighbor as your self, and enemy love. Do we really believe that we are under Gods security, that he is in control? Why do we keep striving to create our own security outside of God?
I know that this is something that I have to keep reminding myself, that what I create here without God-"moth and rust destroy, and thieves break in and steal."
