I'm at a point where I'm bringing back old blogs more than writing new ones. Why is this? Most of the viewers to this blog come through clicking on the NEXT BLOG link at the top of this page. It's a first time visit and most of the time it's a one time visit. America is disintegrating. We are two peoples today. Rush Limbaugh describes the one as a low information voter. I don't get to listen to him often and I'm not sure of his definition of this person but I might describe him/her as the postmodern American. Postmodernism, in my opinion, in it's cultural context, destroyed discernment. We lost, many of us, the desire to seek truth, or to defend it, or to even recognize it. We are now under a full scale assault after decades of being dumbed-down in preparation for it. The Christian church, long ago, became disassociated with its own fundamental truths, wherein by the way is it's power to influence a culture. Patriotism became a fools game to many and thus our vigilance decayed to the extent that a Marxist/Communist cohort was able to secure the presidency and then, in true communist fashion, use it as a weapon against its own people. If our news media were only lax we might have spotted what was coming but they actually fell in line with what they believed to be something good. But it was the antithesis of what is good. Our youth, overall, fail to see the dangers that surround our nation and directly impact their own futures. Our motto has become, as I wrote in a previous blog, Red Solo Cup, let's have a party. And then we will surely write of that party on our Facebook page. God will have the final say in the future, if there is to be one, of this nation. My hope is that those who have at least read these thoughts once will remember them and recognize that only God can heal us and protect us and that all of our blessing had come from Him because we were one nation under God.
This from 2011:
I sit here and just wonder what percentage of Americans are becoming unnerved as the days wear on and chaos seemingly develops in so many areas of our society. Surely even the most skeptical can see that we are in much more than just another economic downturn, that we are dealing with catastrophe and not just difficulties in our foreign policy, that we on the verge of anarchy followed by tyranny rather than just political division, that we are becoming not only increasingly violent but suicidal, that we are almost breathless at times at what transpires on our news and in what is supposed be the Executive Branch of the United States of America... a Constitutional Republic. I have to believe that whatever the percentage is, it is increasing but I don't want to get too excited because I've felt this way before. I thought that surely the American public would overwhelmingly reject the Clintons but it didn't happen. I hoped that 9/11 would unite America...but it didn't. I thought that the economic collapse might convince Americans that Wall Street was not going to be the answer to our problems...it didn't happen, and I thought that the vast majority of Americans would be outraged that its Constitution was being dismantled article by article but as of yet, it hasn't happened. We have all probably seen a rope that was supporting something begin to look dangerously taut only to unravel and break before our very eyes. We are beyond a weakened rope holding up America and are in the unravelling process. This great empire is in its last days. My prayer has consistently been for God to allow 40 more years...one more period where we would be a source of stability in the world, one more generation added to a storied past of spreading freedom and liberty, one more testimony to the rest of the world that God upholds nations who trust in Him. I hope only for 40 years because of human nature. A couple decades of trusting solely in Jesus Christ and we surely would begin to fall away again. Pessimism, you say? I look at it as the opposite for it is only God's mercy and grace that permitted the world to reach this stage and God is as real today as when He, time and again, humbled and blessed repentant Israel.... as when He sent His church throughout the world with the gospel of Jesus Christ.... as when the Reformation of the 16th century exploded in the hearts and minds of peoples and nations.... as when he guided the Mayflower to Plymouth Rock and as when He crushed the occult Nazi Third Reich. We will turn to Him as a nation...should He will it. And if we do not then that is also His will, also glorious as it would be His plan and maybe...maybe...a precursor to His Second Coming in power and glory, the fulfillment of all of history and the final triumph of good over evil. As bleak as the future of our nation is it is within one word of restoration and that word would be spoken within the Godhead. If you are not overly concerned right now, any words that I write would surely seem ridiculous. If you are, then we are two of hopefully many who are petitioning God for one more manifestation of His power in mercy and blessings upon our nation...and therefore the world.
