Salvation Problem

The United States has averted its debt crisis. Most commentators believe that this is temporary political expediency and the debt crisis will eventually return.

I have a different view. The United States does not have a debt problem. It has a salvation problem. Too many Americans believe in American salvation.

American salvation promised to solve every problem that exists in American society using government power. Not content with saving its own society, American salvation believes that the world can be saved by military power.

However, saving the world is expensive. Jesus had to give his life to save the world. Most Americans are willing to make that level of sacrifice, so the United States does not have resources to provide salvation for its own society, let alone the entire world. Saviours unwilling to sacrifice, end up in a debt crisis.

The only solution to the debt crisis is an alternative salvation. Christian Americans have one, but they do not seem to believe in it.
