".....Make Your Calling And Election Sure...."

         I don't know how to describe it other than 'eerie'. I'm talking about the news. I have been through many election year campaigns before but never one such as this where what seems like the entire world is reeling just as the campaigns come to a close. The enormity of what is being predicted on the immigration amnesty front is hard for even someone like myself to comprehend. Is there any difference at this point in time between the United States and your average run-of-the-mill third world dictatorship? Is this administration actively seeking the destruction of Israel? Is it purposely fomenting urban riots? Does it even care about Ebola? Does it have any enemy on this earth other than truth?
         Any stability that we might have had in the past six years has vanished, yet most conservative news sources seem bewitched by this election, as if the world stands still and a temporary truce is called; yet our problems in this country are so severe, our defenses so porous, our discernment so feeble, our resolve so short-sighted, our fear of God so non-existent that no election could stem the tide of this approaching tsunami.
         There is no 'corner to turn' out of a whirlwind. One must somehow land safely, for land they eventually will. If our enemies, and they are legion, do not attempt to seize this moment, this window of opportunity that they have in the Obama administration or in our entire government's rejection of dependence upon the Christian God in favor of its own perceived superiority, then they will have shown themselves as paper tigers, and paper tigers they are not. Neither Russian or China wants to see America have the hegemony that we once had. Islamic fundamentalists know that we are weakened, that we fear the Bible much more than we fear them. Communism, in its resurrected assemblage, knows that we detest the memory of Joe McCarthy much more than that of Joseph Stalin. We refuse to protect our own children from the corporate predators of social media, or even invesitgate the concerns of many, therefore there must be nothing we will protect.
          It's not the results of this election that I am concerned about even though I do support genuine God-fearing candidates, but rather what would happen after we do hit rock bottom and collapse as a nation, overthrown because of our greed and narcissism? Will we then see that God had removed His hedge around us and that is why this had happened to us, and will we then finally humble ourselves before Him and seek His mercy; or will we sink into anarchy and follow any Hitler or false Christ displaying miraculous signs and lying wonders? I know the answer to that as it stands right now. We would do the latter! What I don't know is whether God would intervene. Would He have mercy upon our foolish hearts one more time?
          This coming election could only be significant if we were in fact seeking God-fearing leaders and that is obviously not happening! There are some, I mentioned that, but we are most concerned with making a Republican victory sure!  Would it not be wiser to heed Peter's inspired words in  "Therefore, brethren, be even more diligent to make your calling and election sure, for if you do these things you will never stumble." 2 Peter 1:10
