Part I- Four Levels of Government, Why America is So Messed Up, & What We Can Do About It Tangled Angle

The 4 levels of government are meant to be executed and carried out well, in order to have a stable & prosperous country. 
But America is in trouble. In this podcast, Part I of II, the 4 levels of government are defined and discussed which are:
 *The government of the self 
 *The government of marriage between one man and one woman, which is the family & often includes children
*The government of the Judeo-Christian church
 *Civil government.…the government of a group of people who share a common geography. 
Why is our nation in such trouble, and our federal government is just about shipwrecked?
It is because the first three forms of government are so battered, broken, bruised, and messed up.  By the time the fourth form of government is supposed to govern- the civil government,  it’s so crippled because the foundation of the first three that our civil government rests on are not functioning properly. 


Civil government can never solve the problems of the lack of government at the individual, family, and church levels.
What we can do?
Mother Teresa said:
“If you want to bring peace to the whole world, go home and love your family.”- Mother Teresa, the famous Catholic nun who worked in the slums of Calcutta, India for decades. 
This is the heart of what the Bible teaches, and she is addressing the first and second forms of goverment, the individual and the family. This is the foundation in which a country rests. 
The world works to destroy these God given forms of government……
It’s why China had a one-child policy for years……to destroy the family. 
It’s one reason why abortion is hailed and funded in America……to destroy the family.
It’s why no fault divorce was passed into law in our country …….to destroy the family. 
Mothers and fathers need to take the responsibility to educate our own children, and oversee with diligence their education. 
Marriage between one man and one woman needs to respected and honored. No other set up will produce emotionally, mentally, and spiritually healthy  individuals and children.

Honor, respect, and submitting our lives to the loving and good God who made us needs to characterize our lives if we want a stable nation. 
The next step is to step out of our homes and get involved in our communities. Like I say every podcast, attend school board meetings, support conservative and law abiding candidates who are running for the water district, fire district, municipal court, Public utility district, sheriff, school board, city Council, county council, and state legislature whose values you respect and want to see in your community. If there's no one on the ballot doing this, put your name on the ballot and run for these positions.
Other ideas: Have a neighborhood meeting and get to know your neighbors. Put together a neighborhood watch group, and invite local law enforcement to the meeting and let them know you support them and are on their team. Help them by being a caring citizen in your community, making their job easier. 
Is there hope? 
Yes, as the Bible clearly says that God is a father to the fatherless, and is near to the broken hearted. He has outlined the best forms of government for any nation, if they will follow it, and as our country started to do in 1776, and amazingly America still exists today, 245 years later. We must work to sustain and preserve it.
