Our nation continues flirting with lawlessness. We must pray to stop this.
From The Center Square. Crime is a growing concern for Americans as the new year begins, according to newly released polling data.
Who is praying on the wall?
Gallup released the poll that shows that 72% of surveyed Americans predict crime rates will increase, not decrease, this year.
That figure comes after an earlier poll showed a record-high 56% of Americans said crime is higher where they live than it was a year ago.
“The 56% of U.S. adults who report an increase in crime where they live marks a five-percentage-point uptick since last year and is the highest by two points in Gallup’s trend dating back to 1972,” the group reported in October. “Public perceptions of an increase in crime at the national level have also edged up since last year, as 78% say there is now more crime in the U.S. This is tied with the 2020 measure. The record high was 89% in 1992, when crime rates soared in the U.S.”

PRAY and FAST to reestablish visible copies of the Ten Commandments in all federal and state public buildings and schools throughout the U.S.A.. This is the foundation of US law and the Constitution whether detractors like it or not. A nation that follows these laws will succeed as they have in the past or fail as they are in the present. The founding fathers weren’t perfect but they got that right. It’s that simple!
