Short List

          The hatred for Ted Cruz is palpable. The dislike from others that abounds for Donald Trump has more to do with the threats from his success than for who he is. The hate for Cruz goes far deeper and is directly related to his Christian faith.
           I've written about this before, not as it relates to Ted Cruz but as it relates to the liberal faith. Yes.....liberalism is a religious belief. It's the belief in man being dependent on nothing but himself. He may profess belief in God but that faith is not a threat to his conscience... rather it is a soothing balm.
         Christianity, Biblical-Orthodox Christianity that is, does not give an individual the luxury of defining their own God, and it joyfully acknowledges that God is sovereign over the heavens and the earth...and over everything in them...for He created them... and He is King over all the kings of this earth! The Bible is considered dangerous to the liberal mind if one ventures further into it than generic bible studies, Easter services and praying before meals. One must be vary careful when reading it for there is a double-edged sword within. Guilt is the hell of this liberal faith and one must be saved from it. Thus Ted Cruz is hated, for as president his Christian faith would be evident in every speech, every action and every appointment that he makes.
       The American consciousness is damaged beyond repair. It would have to be healed and there is only one Healer... who we have rejected. We are soulless...we are mindless and our spirituality is pagan. Nothing short of national repentance can give hope to heal these failings, and it has become painfully evident after all the warnings given to us by God that it would now take a national catastrophe... a cataclysmic catastrophe.....to even get our attention.
       As for this election.....as I wrote yesterday....we cannot ignore it. Our vote has to be cast. It is a duty. If one believes that America can turn itself around through the election of a strong leader as president then there are a few candidates out there....and Donald Trump is one of them. On the other hand if one knows that only a national repentance, general awakening and a humbling of ourselves before our Creator holds any hope for mercies to America then that list is much shorter.
