Local Pastor Says: It’s Not Up to “Them” to Fix America’s Problems. It’s Up to US!
We’ve all heard the complaints. Government is to blame for the sorry state of our society. Or liberals. Or disrespectful teenagers. Or illegal immigrants. Or soft-on-crime judges. Someone else is always to blame. That way we can continue complaining and never have to take responsibility for anything.
Enough! says Reverend Bonnie Young.
In her new book, THE NEHEMIAH PRINCIPLE, Reverend Young offers solutions that, surprisingly, lie with the communities themselves. According to Young, whose ministry is based on social responsibility, the Bible is full of examples and even outlines on how to impact communities, answer the needs of the community and bring reform to societal ills.
Rev Young gives examples of solutions for many problems we face today
- Educate ourselves, evaluate, participate and use our voice.
- Take politics out of social reform. We are not getting anywhere trying to declare we, (D or R) are right and we (D or R) have the answer.
- Redirect our focus from government intervention to personal responsibility.
- Find solutions for social programs through business.
- Create resource networks that cooperate in solving problems and providing resources.
- Find ways to redeem, restore and cause success for the members of our community.
About Reverend Bonnie Young: Through the incarceration of her 17 year old son (now 26), Reverend Young became involved in prison ministry, prison reform and advocacy. Through the gift of her autistic and physically challenged daughter she was faced with inadequate service providers who were unprepared and without resources. Over the 25 years of Heidi’s life, Rev. Young searched for the therapy she needed, new educational methods and found, through the healing power of God, the ability of sound to heal and restore. An engaging and thought provoking speaker, Reverend Young will challenge you to think differently about your purpose, church, business, nonprofit and your community. As Nehemiah found, there are creative ways to make your vision become a reality, transforming our nation one person at a time.
