--I check
this box, indicating that after reading the
gospel tract, The State of Michigan's Stimulus Package
for the Great Depression, I have just
repented of my sins, and have asked the Lord
Jesus Christ to save me. I desire now to get
baptized, and to faithfully serve the Lord.
Please pray for me, and send me a free Bible

TEXT VERSION
The word
stimulus
means, “something that rouses or incites to activity”
(Merriam-Webster’s 11th Collegiate Dictionary).
Is it a big package of
money that America needs to be
stimulated,
and thus prosper once again?
If that is what you
think, then consider this:
“But they that will be
RICH fall into TEMPTATION and a snare, and into many
foolish and HURTFUL LUSTS, which drown men in
DESTRUCTION and perdition.
For the LOVE of MONEY
is the ROOT of all EVIL: which while some coveted after,
they have erred from the faith, and PIERCED themselves
through with many SORROWS”
(Holy Bible, 1 Timothy 6:9-10, KJV).
America has abounded — not only with opportunities to
make a lot of money; but also with sorrow, because of
broken lives and homes from sin.
The
Great Depression
ended
the
Roaring Twenties
— which
was a time of much sin.
During the 1920’s, when making and selling liquor was
outlawed, gangsters like
Al Capone,
and
Bonnie & Clyde,
roamed the cities and country sides committing crimes.
Making and selling
alcohol became big business for gangsters, and some
people secretly admired them — but the judgment of God
finally fell upon America.
On October 29, 1929,
the
stock market
crashed in the United States, and financial collapse
followed around the world.
The very next summer
(1930), the
Dust Bowl
days began.
The State of Michigan’s Stimulus Package for the Great
Depression
With such devastating things happen-ing, the Legislature
of the State of Michigan did not offer its residents
extra money
to spend, but
humbly
pointed them back toward God’s Laws.
The next year, on
September 18, 1931, the following laws went into effect:
ABORTION
—
Any person who causes the death of a quick child from
the use of MEDICINE or INSTRUMENT shall be guilty of
manslaughter.
(750.323)
Notice how they were honest enough to admit that a baby
in the womb is a
quick child
(a
living child)
— not a
fetus.
Was abortion a problem
way back then?
Yes, it was.
In 1916, Margaret
Sanger (known as the
mother
of
Planned Parenthood),
wrote in
Family
Limitation,
“No one can doubt that there are TIMES when an ABORTION
is JUSTIFIABLE but they will become unnecessary when
care is taken to prevent conception”
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Margaret_Sanger).
Well, she was wrong,
because when conception was hindered — lust and
immorality only increased.
And because
birth control
does not always work, abortions
increased
— not
decreased.
Abortion has always
been used as the
ultimate
birth control method of the immoral.
It is their
god.
September 18, 1931, was also the effective date of
another law enacted by the Michigan State Legislature:
ADULTERY
—
Any person who shall commit adultery shall be guilty of
a FELONY.
(750.30)
Samuel Schmalhausen, in October of 1928, wrote about
conventional marriage
being
purged
from its limitations (meaning having affection and
children only with your spouse)
(http://ehistory.osu.edu/osu/mmh/clash/NewWoman/Documents/sexamongmoderns.htm).
As a result, adultery
increased; but God said, “Thou shalt not commit
adultery”
(Holy Bible, Exodus 20:14, KJV).
There was another horrible
sin increasing in the 1920’s.
Actor William Haines,
who was openly living in
sodomy,
was regularly named in the media as the
#1 Male Box-Office Draw.
Actress Mae West, was
an early advocate for
sodomite rights.
God says that
sodomy
is not a
right,
but an
abominable sin
against nature.
“For this cause God
gave them up unto VILE AFFECTIONS: for even their women
did change the natural use into that which is AGAINST
NATURE:
And likewise also the
men, leaving the NATURAL USE of the woman, burned in
their lust one toward another; men with men working that
which is UNSEEMLY”
(Holy Bible, Romans 1:26-27, KJV).
So September 18, 1931,
was also the effective date of another law enacted by
the Michigan State Legislature:
SODOMY
—
Any person who shall commit the ABOMINABLE and
DESTESTABLE crime against nature either with mankind or
with any animal shall be guilty of a FELONY.(750.158)
When foolish people try to
put the Creator out of their minds, they often still use
His name daily — in swearing and cursing.
“Thou shalt not take
the name of the LORD thy God in vain”
(Holy Bible, Exodus 20:7, KJV).
So September 18, 1931,
was also the effective date of another law enacted by
the Michigan State Legislature:
SWEARING
—
Any person who has arrived at
the age of discretion, who shall profanely CURSE or DAMN
or SWEAR by the name of God, Jesus Christ or the Holy
Ghost, shall be guilty of a misdemeanor.
(750.103)
Follow the lead of the 1931
Michigan Legislators, and let the present financial and
spiritual crisis move you to humility and repentance.
“...humble themselves,
and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked
ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive
their sin, and will heal their land” (Holy Bible, 2
Chronicles 7:14, KJV).
Bow your head and repent right now:
“Dear
Lord
Jesus, I do
believe that you are the Son of God, God Almighty, the
Creator of heaven and earth, and I
repent of my sin and turn to
you right now.
I do believe that you
died on the cross for me, and shed your precious blood
to pay my sin debt,
and
I do believe that you arose from the grave
the third day.
I
do
ask you to save me and
to use my life now for your glory.
I am trusting in you
alone to save me and take me to heaven.
In Jesus’ name I pray,
Amen.”
Yes,
I just asked
the Lord
Jesus
Christ
to
save
me,
and I desire to now live for Him.
