All Three.
We are seeing the Transvalutation of Values or when all that is good and decent is condemned and all that is wrong is elevated and emulated. The purpose of which is to destroy Western Civilization, the US, Christianity, and capitalism.
Social issues: culture war, or spiritual wickedness in high places?

Mike Bresciani of American Prophet sent in this pithy observation about the Todd Akin affair, all the anti-moral things that so many politicians have done (as in passing laws as well as breaking them), and the complicity of the media.
His suggestion: 40 days and 40 nights of prayer and fasting.
Conclusion:
It is naiveté of the highest order to think that the economy and growth
are the only serious issues of the day or of this important 2012
campaign. Hundreds of Bible passages and all the best wisdom of our
founding fathers and today’s best statesmen declare that moral issues
alone can break the back of a nation. The fight is not just a ‘hot
button issue’ or an ‘extreme’ political position. It is a battle on a
higher scale and it is the head of the important matters of state not
the tail.

Such a revival in the lives of just American Christians could result in world peace, quench corruption and see the conversion of millions of people. Now if we joined with the world, we could see the end of oppression and religious persecution of all religions.
Know God - Know Peace/Prosperity
No god - no stupid.
Psalm 49:5-13
5 Why should I fear when evil days come, when wicked deceivers surround me--
6 those who trust in their wealth and boast of their great riches?
7 No man can redeem the life of another or give to God a ransom for him--
8 the ransom for a life is costly, no payment is ever enough--
9 that he should live on forever and not see decay.
10 For all can see that wise men die; the foolish and the senseless alike perish and leave their wealth to others.
11 Their tombs will remain their houses forever, their dwellings for endless generations, though they had named lands after themselves.
12 But man, despite his riches, does not endure; he is like the beasts that perish.
13 This is the fate of those who trust in themselves, and of their followers, who approve their sayings. "Selah"
I am not Catholic. But I have always like this story.
GOD HAS NO HANDS BUT OURS
http://www.horizonsmagazine.c...
The popular story says that following World War II some German students volunteered to help rebuild a cathedral in England, one that had been badly damaged by the Luftwaffe bombings. As the work progressed, they weren't sure how to best restore a large statue of Jesus with has arms outstretched and bearing the familiar inscription, "Come unto Me."
They were able to repair all the damage to the statue except for Christ's hands which had been completely destroyed. Should they even attempt to rebuild these?
Finally, the workers reached a decision that still stands today. They decided to leave the hands off and changed the inscription to read: "Christ has no hands but ours."
The phrase "Christ has no hands but ours" is a reference to this prayer by St. Teresa of Avila. Let it be our p...

The phrase "Christ has no hands but ours" is a reference to this prayer by St. Teresa of Avila. Let it be our prayer:
Lord Christ,
You have no body on earth but ours,
No hands but ours,
No feet but ours.
Ours are the eyes through which your compassion
Must look out on the world.
Ours are the feet by which you may still
Go about doing good.
Ours are the hands with which
You bless people now.
Bless our minds and bodies,
That we may be a blessing to others.
AMEN
This story originated at Christ the King Catholic Church in San Diego, CA. At that time, the story was told on their website as well, but that site has since been closed.
The statue did exist outside the church, but the hands were broken off by vandals around 1980, not by bombing.
Instead of repairing the hands, the church decided to put up a plaque at the base that states, "I have no hands but yours."
This is a reference to the poem by St. Teresa of Avila.
The statue is still there, without hands.
I had way too many so called "Christians" who told me to get a job and pick myself up by my own boot straps. When I was too sick to work and too poor to afford even boot straps to pick myself up by.
Instead of criticizing me those folks could have had enough Jesus in them to help us.
No one helped us. I prayed and finally God did send some money miraculously and healed me miraculously.
But truthfully, God does not want us to just get God to do everything.
God tests each and everyone of us daily for the help we give others and the compassion that we have in our hearts.
There are many people in churches today who will be facing this parable said by Jesus.
Matthew 25:31-46
The Sheep and the Goats
31 “When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, he will sit on his glorious throne. 32 All the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate the people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. 33 He will put the sheep on his ...

31 “When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, he will sit on his glorious throne. 32 All the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate the people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. 33 He will put the sheep on his right and the goats on his left.
34 “Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. 35 For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, 36 I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.’
37 “Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? 38 When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? 39 When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?’
40 “The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’
41 “Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. 42 For I was hungry and you gave me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink, 43 I was a stranger and you did not invite me in, I needed clothes and you did not clothe me, I was sick and in prison and you did not look after me.’
44 “They also will answer, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or needing clothes or sick or in prison, and did not help you?’
45 “He will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me.’
46 “Then they will go away to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life.”
But the point I hope I made is that compassion toward our fellow humans and in some cases toward the animals we own is important to God to see if we have God's heart of compassion in us.
Have a great labor day.
