Andy Stanley just nails it. So many great points. It's 45 minutes long, but well worth the listen. He just makes too much sense. Maybe Ron Paul for Pres. and Andy Stanley for VP. Throw in folks like Karl Denninger for Treasury Secretary and we wouldn't be in the soup we are in, that's for sure. We would hear what we need to hear and not what we want to hear.
Can you imagine if we heard a 'speech' like this from a politician. It would be hailed as a great speech. I know it's a sermon and not a political speech, but if this is the cure for what ails us, then why do we continue to question the source?
(H/T to Karl Denninger's Market-Ticker blog http://market-ticker.org/akcs-www?post=192809 for the heads up)
My wife loves Andy as well so I'm sure it was just a matter of time before she pointed me in this direction as well. It's great to be surrounded by such great sources of information and wisdom in times of crisis.
Recovery Road
Part 1: We the People
Andy Stanley
http://www.northpoint.org/messages/recovery-road
How can a nation with this much wealth have a financial crisis? No matter who you ask - Republican or Democrat - the other side has caused our nation's problems. In this message, Andy uses a familiar Bible passage to remind us that Jesus called on us to stop pointing fingers. And start looking in the mirror. We may have more power to start the recovery than we know.
Podcast Description:
Welcome to the weekly audio podcast for North Point Community Church in Alpharetta, GA where our mission is to lead people into a growing relationship with Jesus Christ. Our desire is that this podcast will encourage you in your relationship with God. ... So how's that 401k looking these days? How 'bout your personal positivity index? Thinking about firing off an email or two to your congressional representative? Already did? Didn't hear back? If you are like most Americans, you're wondering what in the heck is going on in Washington. And you're probably wondering what in the heck you are supposed to do while you wait for somebody to fix things. Well, we've got an idea. What if we don't wait around for somebody else to fix things? What if we go ahead and start fixing it ourselves? Some of us are naïve enough to think that if we get that We the People thing cranked up, we just might be able to get this country on the road to recovery. Sound like a good idea? Then you're ready for Recovery Roadby Andy Stanley. ... Visit us at www.northpoint.org.
Discussion Questions
Moving Forward
The road to recovery begins with we, not they - with me, not you. Sure, it's easy to yell at the television, but that's not working. How will you begin today to take a long, hard look at yourself? What would Jesus have you do?
Changing Your Mind
Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother's eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? How can you say to your brother, "Let me take the speck out of your eye," when all the time there is a plank in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother's eye. Matthew 7: 3-5.

The last time the price of Gold soared to this extent was in late 1979. Back then, Paul Volcker as Fed Chairman brought it to heel by letting go of US interest rates and watching while short-term rates soared to 20 percent plus. That “solution” today would turn every nation in the “developed” world into a giant sized Greece. The fiat money system just “celebrated” its 40th birthday. It won’t have many more. - Bill Buckler - The Privateer, 21 August 2011
