John criticizes the rights that the Sadducees and Pharisees claim as Sons of Abraham. We may not claim the same ethnic connections, but what similar types of rights might we claim to have today that might be just as fruitless?

Capitalism? My dad use to say "Money is the root of all evil, it creates greed, which in turn creates self-centerness." I always shock my head in wondering what is he talking about, this country is about making money. Well after reading the book of Matthew, I now understand what he was talking about. Free speech?? If we talk, shouldn't we be talking about GOD and the Kingdom of Heaven, if we talk about people shouldn't we be talking about the good things in people, or am I on the wrong track here, remember I am simple minded, it was until a couple of years ago that I read the Bible and now I am going back and reading again. Trying to lead others back to GOD in this sinful nation we live in, isn't this what we should be doing. This country has pushed GOD out of the schools, out of government. Below is a link to an interesting video showing how this country has changed > stg.do/Iwpc

My wife and I actually took the tour with David. It is very informative and helps to showcase the faith that was central to the creation of this nation. I would recommend it to all believers and unbelievers as well. Check out David’s Wallbuilders sight if you are interested. www.wallbuilders.com/
