Donald Trump

They Stood From Afar

By: Denny-

There were many who followed Jesus when He began to perform miracles of healing and deliverance. The crowds became so large it was often difficult for Him to get away and rest, but He never avoided people or told them to disperse. On one occasion His disciples tried to prevent certain people from coming near Jesus, but He stopped them. After a while there were some who quit following Him because the messages He preached begin to step on their toes. It’s easy to follow Jesus when the miracles happen and things are exciting, but will you still follow Him when His words begin to deal with the condition of your heart. After the Last Supper the remaining eleven disciples followed Him to the Garden of Gethsemane where He told them to watch and pray. He left them and went to pray alone. He returned to them three times and found them sleeping, to which He said, “Are you still sleeping and resting? It is enough! Rise up, let us go, see my betrayer is at hand.” (Mark 14: 41- 42) They all fled as Judas betrayed Jesus and He was arrested. At His trial Peter stood from afar hoping not to be recognized, but when he was, he denied that he knew Jesus. At His crucifixion, His mother Mary and John stood close while all the other disciples were absent or stood from afar because of fear.

To those who claim to be Christian and a follower of Jesus, I must ask, “Are you standing afar off?” It’s easy to be a follower of Jesus in church on Sunday, but what happens the rest of the week. Do you avoid situations, conversations, and opportunities for fear you may be recognized as a Christian? Do you possess a value system based on the truths of the Bible that is reflected in your actions and speech? Are you being the salt and light that the world and more specifically America so desperately needs in this moment of time? Pastors are you speaking out from the pulpit on the moral issues facing our nation this election, or are you standing afar off and fearful of losing your precious 503 tax exemption.  (Matthew 5:13-16) “You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt loses its flavor, how shall it be seasoned? It is then good for nothing but to be thrown out and trampled under foot by men. You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lamp stand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your father in heaven.“ Salt is used to change the flavor of whatever it is added to or put on. When you add salt to salt you only get more salt volume and nothing changes. I wonder how many self-proclaimed Christians only add or apply salt to each other, never changing the flavor of anything outside the four walls of their church or selected inner circle. Their light also has become as selective and ineffective as a flashlight with dying batteries. When you turn on a light in a dark room you expect it to light up everything, including the political corner, because light is not selective. If that sounds harsh, condescending, and offensive to you then it’s time to put on your “Big Boy” pants because that’s exactly what Jesus was saying in the above verses.

We are at a critical pivotal point in our nation’s history. The election results on November 5th  will decide if Donald Trump backs up the garbage truck or if Kamala Harris continues to lead us down the slippery slope to oblivion. The Democrat party along with their political operatives and their ungodly policies and tactics have incrementally set America on a path of destruction for the last 50 plus years. Just as in the parable of the wheat and tares (Matthew 13:24-25) it happened under the cover of darkness while men (Christians) slept. Where have those who possess the salt and light been? Many have compromised and turned their backs on truth, just as did so many who quit following Jesus. Others have stood watching from afar not wanting to get involved out of cowardliness or fear of being recognized and persecuted as a believer in Jesus Christ. When I hear statistics that millions of Christians don’t vote it boggles my mind. Their absence from the election process and apathy made the difference which gave us the Biden-Harris debacle. Why?  I can’t answer that question other than to say they will give an account to God for burying in the ground, as it were, the one talent (vote) that was given to them. The parable of the talents found in Matthew 25:14-30 is a stark reality that should motivate every Christian to participate in this election. When someone shouted out “Jesus is Lord” at a Kamala Harris event, she told them they were in the wrong rally. When asked what she would do different from the past four years if elected she replied, “Nothing comes to my mind.” What about President Biden lashing out and calling Trump supporters “garbage”. Christian, what else do you need to know to make up your mind and vote, short of a swift kick in the pants by God.

God isn’t interested in lame King Saul-like excuses, only results. Some may say, “I don’t like either candidate” or “It’s like voting for the lesser of two evils.” That’s a big excuse that the uninformed use all the time, but it won’t hold water any longer. It’s time for people to put on their common sense thinking and stop letting emotions and past party loyalty guide their vote. This is bigger than Trump or Harris. This is about the failed policies of the radical left that are intent on dismantling America and rebuilding it into an image that we must bow down to and worship. How can anyone calling themselves a Christian, with any Bible knowledge, discernment, and convictions whatsoever, vote for this continued wicked insanity or not vote at all. This is a battle between good and evil, and all it takes for evil to win is for good moral people to stick their heads in the sand and do nothing. Yes, God is sovereign; however, He chooses to work with and through those who participate with Him. Open your Bible and read the stories of the great men and women of old such as Abraham, Moses, Joseph, Esther, Nehemiah, David, Daniel, Elijah, Noah and countless others who God used to accomplish His will. Guess what, none of them were without faults and perfect, so stop withholding your vote waiting for the perfect presidential candidate. Inflation is killing our economy, taxes, crime, and the price of groceries and gas are high and rising. Innocent lives are lost daily through abortion, human trafficking, gangs and the drugs they bring with them. The Biden-Harris administration is indifferent towards Isreal, and we are on the verge of WW3. Millions of people have illegally crossed our borders and are occupying our country on your dollar, but are you more upset and irate that someone else has occupied your guarded precious place you always sit in at church. Your silence by not voting is the same as approving and agreeing with all the above. To quote the words of Jesus again, “Are you still sleeping and resting? It is enough! Rise up, let us go, see my betrayer is at hand.” I don’t think it is wrong to apply this scripture to our current conditions in America. It is time to awake from sleep, rise up, and go vote because many are they who are betraying America. America needs a spiritual awakening, but Christians need a heart shaking rival of their call to be salt and light. May we all rise up with courage, confidence, determination, and trust in the Lord that we will be the generation of salt and light that turned this nation back to God so those who come after us won’t be able to say, “They stood from afar”
 

Stir the Coffee

By: Denny-

It has been nearly midnight when we’ve crawled into bed the last four nights. We have watched the entire RNC convention every night. It was like a breath of fresh air to listen to all the various speakers and to see the excitement, enthusiasm, and unity of the delegates and crowd. Finally, the voice and views of “We the People” were expressed by a newly inspired and united Republican Party, who overwhelmingly nominated Donald J Trump and JD Vance to be the ticket to defeat the Democrats in November. We witnessed speaker after speaker giving tribute and testimony to Donald Trump, and reveal unknown positive attributes about his true character. Things you won’t hear from the news media, nor do they want you to know. So here it is Friday 6:30 AM and I’m about to sit down and enjoy my morning coffee, the best cup of the day. I filled the cup to within an inch of the top with coffee, then I got the hazelnut creamer from the fridge and poured in a good dose. Of course, the coffee being hot, and the creamer cold, the sweet creamer went to the bottom of the cup and settled there, according to the law of physics. The coffee still looked dark black until I stirred it with a spoon and suddenly the dormant creamer on the bottom seemed to come to life. What was dark was transformed into a golden light brown which emitted the aroma of hazelnut. Aaahhh. I went to the dining room and opened the windows to let in the cool morning air. As I sat and sipped my coffee, I began to ponder the events of the RNC convention which seemed to replay in my mind. There were many needed changes and goals spelled out as part of the platform, which mostly involved undoing and turning back the disastrous policies of previous liberal administrations. I think the most urgent was that we need to build the wall and close our southern border, to protect us and to stop the flow of illegal aliens, drugs, gangs, and terrorists from entering the United States. President Trump in his speech promised he would do that and many other things quickly, very quickly, saying, “You’ll be amazed how quickly things get done.” We all  know there is sure to be opposition. Nevertheless, it is time to stir the coffee and transform America from the darkness all around us, so that the aroma of prosperity, security, and freedom will rise up from the bottom and “Make America Great Again”.

That analogy motivated me to open my Bible and read the book of Nehemiah. It’s the recounting of how the Jews had turned away from following God and became a nation much like America is today. I encourage you to read the first six chapters for yourself to fully understand the details involved in this analogy. Many times God sent His prophets to warn them to turn them from their wickedness, but they refused, and their hearts became hardened and indifferent towards Him. God saw that, so He caused the Babylonian army to invade them. They completely decimated Jerusalem by setting it on fire and tearing down the wall that protected them. (need I mention Sept. 11, 2001) They took the nation captive and carried them away to Babylon, leaving only a small remnant of Jews behind. Nehemiah was one of those who was taken captive. He became cupbearer to the king and God had given him favor with him. Years later Nehemiah learned the condition of his homeland and the suffering of his fellow Jews living there. The king granted him permission to go back to Jerusalem and to rebuild. He gave him finances, written letters giving him passage, as well as an armed guard to protect him. When he arrived in Jerusalem, Nehemiah told nobody about his intentions until he had surveyed the situation at night undercover. He then gathered together the leaders and spoke to them about his intentions to rebuild the wall and restore Jerusalem. MJGA–Make Jerusalem Great Again. The task seemed overwhelming and impossible, but the people said, “Let us rise up and build.” (Nehemiah2:18) The opposition came immediately from the ruling non-Jewish officials, namely Sanballat and Tobiah. Nevertheless, the work began as told throughout chapter 3. This is key to notice: Each one built and made repairs to the wall in front of their own house. The responsibility was put on each individual and family, not on Nehemiah alone, even though he was out front leading and overseeing. They all worked together in unity, being of the same mind and vision. Chapters 4-6 go into detail how Sanballat opposed Nehemiah and the work through ridicule, threat of attack, discouragement, extortion, compromise, slander, and outright treachery in which they plotted to kill him. (that sounds familiar) By the way, if you take the middle letters [ball] out of the name Sanballat and insert the remaining [at] after the S, you spell Satan. Going further, if you put a hyphen between the [n] and the [b] and replace the last [a] with an [o] you have San-ballot. The dictionary says ‘sans’ means; deprived, without, or destitute of. Do you suppose there could be any connection, correlation, or stretch of the imagination between that and the possibility of rigged elections and ballot tampering? You decide. There are two verses that really stand out and should empower the vision, goals, and commitment of every American patriot to reelect Donald Trump to implement the promises he’s made to Make America Great Again. Nehemiah 4:14-15 And I (Nehemiah speaking) looked, and rose and said to the nobles, to the leaders, and to the rest of the people, do not be afraid of them. Remember the Lord, great and awesome, and FIGHT for your brethren, your sons, your daughters, your wives, and your houses. And it happened, when our enemies heard that it was known to us, and that God had brought their counsel to nothing, that all of us returned to the wall, everyone to his work. Nehemiah 6:15 So the wall was finished on the 25th day of the month of Elul, in 52 days. (It is amazing how quickly it got done, isn’t it?) And it happened, when all our enemies heard of it, and all the nations around us saw these things, that they were very disheartened in their own eyes; for they perceived that this work was done by our God.  

I see President Trump as a modern-day Nehemiah. If not him, then who? If not now, then when? It’s no coincidence that after the failed attempted assassination of President Trump, that he stood up with blood running down his face, raised his fist and shouted, “Fight!”, “Fight!”, “Fight!”. Yes, it’s time to bring back to the top the values, freedoms, and God-given rights, that our nation was founded upon, because they have become cold and settled to the bottom of the cup. The future of our nation is at stake. Are you ready and willing to grab a spoon and help stir the coffee? It starts with voting for the Republican candidates in every election this November.

Close, But No Cigar

By: Denny –

Unless you’re a baby-boomer or a member of the previous generation, you may not have heard this expression or understand its meaning. Its origins date back to England in the 1800s when circuses were popular. At first, they involved acrobats performing daring feats on horses, the high wire, or trapezes. Clowns, juggling, and wild animal acts became popular and drew bigger crowds. For further entertainment gaming booths were added and the circus began to evolve into a carnival. The games were simple games of chance and skill much like the ring toss, shooting galleries, ball, and dart throwing and others that we see these days at county and state fairs. The person operating the booth was called a “Barker”, and they would call out loudly to passersby to entice them to play their game. They eventually became known as “Carneys”. In those days the games were reserved for adult males and the prize for winning was a cigar, because they were relatively inexpensive and easy to store. However, though appearing simple and easy to win, the games favored the Carney over the player. The player might come close to winning yet not achieve the required task to win the prize. Whereby the Carney would declare, “Close, but no cigar”, and encourage them to lay down some more money and try again, which often led to more failure and money in the pocket for the Carney. As people immigrated to America so did the circus and carnivals. Coney Island and other places grew in popularity as rides were added. Carnival booths transitioned into offering prizes and rewards other than cigars which enticed men, women, and children to try their luck at winning. The phrase “Close, but no cigar” became more popular beginning in the 1920s even up to the 1970s as people began to use and apply it to other life situations concerning not achieving a planned goal, a near miss, or hoped for expectation. For instance: You were one number off from winning the Powerball lottery. You almost got the job, but they hired someone else. You overslept and missed your bus, train, or plane by one minute and it left without you. You were outbid by $500 on your dream home by another buyer. Your team missed winning the big game by one point. You lost the election by 10 votes. The list of circumstances and “Close, but no cigar” moments continues, but I’m sure you understand my point.

Life also has those “Close, but no cigar” instances which involve narrowly escaping tragedy and a brush with death. As a retired truck driver with a 50-year career, I’ve had many such instances. I recall the night I was driving across Nebraska on I-80. I was tired and had dozed off and had drifted from the right lane onto the left lane shoulder. I was awakened by a huge bang and the realization that I had hit a bridge. I immediately pulled back to the right shoulder and stopped to investigate the damage, expecting to find parts missing and fuel leaking. To my surprise the only things missing were some chrome lug nut covers from the steer tire, a small step on the fuel tank strap which I had left in the down position, and some scuff marks on the drive tires. If my reaction had been to turn the steering wheel even a fraction to the left when I hit the bridge, the outcome would have been tragically different. God had intervened and spared my life as He had done so many times before and since, because He had greater plans for my life and a purpose for me yet to discover and fulfill. Psalm 31:14-15a But as for me, I trust in You, O Lord; I say, you are my God.” My times are in Your hand.

On Saturday, July 13th, 2024, former President Donald Trump was giving a campaign rally speech in Pennsylvania. A lone gunman perched on a rooftop a mere 50 yards away opened fire. At the very instant the gunman pulled the trigger, Donald Trump had inadvertently and unknowingly slightly turned his head, and the bullet only grazed his right ear. Whether or not you believe in God or miracles, there is no doubt in my mind we all witnessed one that day. God supernaturally intervened and spared Donald Trump and the nation from an otherwise tragic outcome. “Close, but no cigar!” Never in the history of our country has there been such vicious and blatant attempts by a current administration, fake news media, and members of a political party to discredit, hinder, remove, or destroy a candidate of an opposition party. They will stop at nothing to assure they remain in power to implement their ungodly, anti-American, twisted and perverted woke ideology and agendas. The devil and the forces of evil have become their puppet masters manipulating their minds and controlling their actions. Whether it be through importing millions of illegals to gain votes, engineering election results in their favor because they cannot win in honest debate. They weaponize the FBI and CIA and use the courts, liberal prosecutors, and judges to turn simple misdemeanors into felonies against anyone who opposes or tries to expose their unlawful deeds. Not to mention all the just plain irrational and stupid stuff they do which lacks any common sense. The mainstream news media is a poor excuse for any kind of legitimate unbiased journalism. They have no credibility because lying is their native language. All to which I and millions of other God-fearing homegrown American patriots say, “Enough is enough.” There is a line in a song that we used to sing in church in the 1990’s: “I went to the enemy’s camp, and I took back what he stole from me.” We will take our country back. Know this you self-proclaimed wizards of smart on the Left; I believe God’s hand and anointing is upon Donald Trump to win the presidency in 2024 and to begin to turn this nation back from the disastrous self-destructive course you’ve put us on. Therefore, no demon or Democrat can stop Him (God), and you try at your own peril. Psalm 37:12-15 The wicked plots against the just, and gnashes at him with his teeth. The Lord laughs at him, for He sees that his day is coming. The wicked have drawn the sword and have bent their bow, to cast down the poor and needy, to slay those who are of upright conduct. Their sword shall enter their own heart, and their bows shall be broken. Psalm 105:15 Do not touch My anointed ones and do My prophets no harm. The uninformed will say, “I can’t vote for Trump given his past.” A skeptic may ask, “How can God who is Holy, anoint and use a person like Donald Trump with all his faults and past failures?” The answer is quite simple for both, “You don’t know God, the Bible, and how He often uses imperfect people to accomplish His will”.

The Bible is full of “Close, but no cigar” instances when God miraculously intervened so that His plan would be accomplished. He delivered his chosen people from their bondage as slaves in Egypt through many miracles. Moses, an imperfect man, led them out by way of the wilderness until they came to the Red Sea. As Pharaoh and his army pursued, God sent a pillar of fire to come between them and the Israelites. God told Moses to lift his staff and the Red Sea parted before them, so they were able to cross on dry ground. God removed the pillar of fire and Pharaoh continued his chase. When the Egyptians were in the middle of the Red Sea, God brought the waters back upon them and they all drowned. Sorry Pharaoh, “Close, but no cigar!” In the book of Esther there was this guy named Haman. He was a close advisor to King Ahasuerus, and he hated the Jews. He schemed up a plan to have them all killed on a certain day, especially Mordecai, who wouldn’t bow down to him. Haman had actually built some gallows on which he planned to hang him. Through a series of events God intervened through Queen Esther and the plot was thwarted. It was said to Queen Esther that she was “born for such a time as this”. The king ordered that Haman, and his sons were to be hung on his own gallows. Too bad Haman, “Close, but no cigar”, and you reap what you sow. Many times the religious leaders tried to kill Jesus. On one occasion they led him to a cliff to throw him off, but the Bible says he passed through the midst of them. Luke 4:28-30 Then all those in the synagogue, when they heard these things, were filled with wrath, and rose up and thrust Him out of the city; and they led Him to the brow of the hill on which their city was built, that they might throw Him down over the cliff. Then passing through the midst of them, He went His way. John 10: 31 Then the Jews took up stones again to stone Him. (vs 39) Therefore they sought again to seize Him, but He escaped out of their hand. Sorry guys, “Close, but no cigar”. As Jesus stood before Pontius Pilot on trial, Pilot boasted of his power and authority to either crucify or release Him. (John19:10) Vs. 11 Jesus answered, “You could have no power at all against Me unless it had been given you from above.” God’s plan for Jesus was yet to be accomplished. Even as Jesus hung on the cross and died, the devil, his demons, and the religious leaders thought they had won. “Close, but no cigar!” Three days later Jesus came back to life defeating sin, death, and the devil, as was God’s plan since the beginning when sin entered the world through the fall of Adam and Eve.

Jesus through His shed blood and by dying on the cross for our sins in our place, became the only way for us to be saved and have eternal life. All you need to do is believe that and receive Him into your heart by repenting and asking Him for forgiveness and to save you. You can’t earn it, religious ceremonies and good works are useless, so stop trying and start believing. Someday you will die and stand before God and must give an account of your life and what you did about Jesus. Which would you rather hear? “Well done good and faithful servant, enter into heaven” or “Close, but no cigar”. The choice is yours to make or miss, but don’t wait until it’s too late, because the devil has a plan to take you out. 1 Peter 4:8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.

The Declassifying of Morality

By: Denny

I was listening to American Family Radio based in Tupelo, Ms. on my way home from running some errands the other day. It is a Christian station, and they give the news you won’t hear from the slanted, biased, one bubble off level, secular left media. It seems that there is a proposal by the New York State legislature to make adultery legal. I suppose I should have been shocked, but nothing these Woke puppets manipulated by unseen evil powers surprises me anymore. It’s just one more attack on the family and traditional moral values, but isn’t that what they always do. They declassify and rename sinful behaviors and make them legal to appease a godless society that has left the path of decency, having no common sense or the conscience to discern good from evil, right from wrong, and moral from immoral. The only reason they would want to make adultery legal is to open the door wider so those already engaged in it can do so freely without consequences, just like they did with marijuana, abortion, gay marriage, and a host of other things. Aren’t there enough broken families and lives already without creating more? I guess not. It’s the same strategy out of the same old playbook they’ve used forever. They write and pass laws to promote their agendas, and do the same against those who disagree and oppose them. How dare we speak out against their lawless deeds. Why, we’re just a bunch of self-righteous, bigoted morons engaging in hate speech, so they write hate speech laws to silence us. If they can’t pass their laws through the legislative process, no problem, they just issue an executive order, get some liberal judge to rule in their favor, or weaponize the FBI or IRS to come after you. They think nothing of ignoring or enforcing existing laws they don’t like. We are currently being invaded by millions of free-loading illegal aliens breaking our laws by crossing our borders expecting us to foot the bill and support them. Oh, excuse me, I misspoke, they have now been declassified as emigrants. I thought emigrants had to have passports. We aren’t stupid, changing the language doesn’t change the reality.

There is a reason God said, “You shall not”, because he knows the sinfulness of the human condition and the propensity of people to follow the destructive depths of depravity. Somehow, these deceived elite have become so enlightened that they know what’s better for us than our creator. In their minds, God’s moral standards have become archaic and out of touch, so let’s just rename and declassify them. They call abortion “women’s health”, and murder “choice”. God says that the LGBTQ lifestyle is an abomination to him (Lev. 18:22), but it has now been declassified as normal and even desirable. Parents, you don’t have a right to know if your kid wants a sex change, because the liberals say so. The First Amendment to the Constitution guarantees every citizen the right to speak freely. Even that basic right has been declassified from “stand up and speak up” to “shut up and sit down”. This so-called separation of church and state mantra has been used to silence many churches and individuals who stand for truth and morality. Far too many churches have succumbed to their rhetoric and political duress allowing their misguided and immoral values to infiltrate and define them, instead of following the truth in God’s word the Bible. It seems that they can dictate the rules of and desecrate our playground, but don’t you even think about setting foot on their terf, lest they release their minions to beat you up in a court of law.

Genesis 6:5-6 Then the Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great on the earth, and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. And the Lord was sorry that he had made man on the earth, and he was grieved in his heart.

Can you imagine God being sorry and grieved that he made mankind? It seems to me that we are on a fast track of once again becoming like that generation which He destroyed by a flood. Grieving over sin is a lost and foreign concept these days. Ask someone to define the word “blush” and they might tell you it’s the makeup a man puts on before he dresses himself as a woman and proudly parades himself in public. Mine and previous generations could not have imagined we’d live to see what America has become. If you can change the language, then you can change the law. If you can change the law, then you can declassify morality. If you can declassify morality, then you can destroy a nation. Do what you will, but the moral Laws of God will stand unchanged for eternity. You may have heard the expression, “Things could be worse”. I find little comfort or consolation in that, knowing that they inevitably will be given our current administration. If you have a Bible, take a moment to read 2 Timothy 3:1-5 which parallels with Romans 1:28-32 as follows:

And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a debased mind, to do those things which are not fitting; being filled with all unrighteousness, sexual immorality, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil mindedness; they are whisperers, backbiters, haters of God, violent, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, undiscerning, untrustworthy, unloving, unforgiving, unmerciful; who, knowing the righteous judgment of God, that those who practice such things are worthy of death, not only do the same but also approve of those who practice them.

Donald Trump often comes off as being sarcastic, blunt, and harsh. He isn’t known for his eloquent speaking, and he cuts through all the rhetoric without mincing words and gets to the heart of the issues. You either like him or hate him, as so many of his opponents on the left do. Nevertheless, whether or not you like him as a person, it is undeniable that we were a better nation under his policies as President than we are today. Trump made this statement at the National Religious Broadcasters (NRB) International Christian Media Convention in Nashville. “How any Christian can vote for a Democrat, Christian or person of faith, how you can vote for a Democrat is crazy. It’s crazy.” Boy did that ruffle some feathers, and of course the media instantly jumped on that coming back with a bunch of reasons why if you’re a Christian, you can’t vote for Trump. However, none of those were based on his policies, but focused solely on his personal faults and failures. As Jesus said to those who brought to Him the woman caught in adultery (John 8:7 -which their law said she must be stoned to death), “He who is without sin among you, let him throw a stone at her first.”  Isn’t it ironic that all of a sudden, the ungodly on the left can quote scripture and lecture us as to what defines a Christian. I suppose if we were electing a National Pastor (which we aren’t) nobody could fit that mold, including our current president and all those who came before. Adultery is no greater sin than lying. Think about this: Are you better off today than you were four years ago? Are you paying more for food, gas, services, taxes, tuition, utilities, rent, interest? Are you living a more limited lifestyle and not able to put away some savings? Who is forcing you to accept all this Woke nonsense? Who is taking away your rights as a parent to raise your kids the way you see fit? Who opened the flood gate of our borders? Who has depleted our military and police putting at risk our national security? Who lied about Covid and executed mandates which limited your freedoms to live a normal life? Who has shut down businesses and cost thousands of lost jobs in the name of climate change? Which political party spends money that we don’t have and has raised the national debt into the trillions with no end in sight? Who has cried wolf so many times about the solvency of the Social Security Trust Fund, all the while having their hand in the till? Who always presents an overloaded unrealistic national budget at the 11th hour before a government shutdown, forcing the acceptance of it? Who is in bed with China and allows them to buy up our land? Are you prepared to spend twice as much on an electric car that you don’t want and will only get you 300 miles? Are you optimistic or pessimistic about the America your kids and grandkids will live in? If you don’t know the answers to these and many other questions, you aren’t paying attention, but I think you’re smarter than that.

Scroll back up and read the verses in Romans again. Which political party’s agenda most closely aligns itself and even defends and approves of those who practice such things? Draw your own conclusions. One could also conclude that if you vote for them, you also approve by association. Will we be remembered as the generation that turned things around and stopped the Declassifying of Morality, or continued to accept it as the new normal.
