"We have poor leaders primarily because of our own individual failures but this convention was oblivious to that, and Donald Trump's promises were bereft of any introspection. Mr. Trump paid more attention to the LGBT (Q?) community than he did to the Creator of everything that exists, the Redeemer of all those who have placed their faith in Him, the Benefactor and Sustainer of this nation for over 240 years, and the coming King of whom Mr. Trump will then suddenly pay attention to"
These two sentences are from my post as the Republican Convention concluded and Donald Trump gave his acceptance speech this past July. Last night Mr. Trump, at a Colorado rally, held what looked to be a 4x7 rainbow flag in his outstretched hands with 'LGBTs for Trump' painted on the yellow stripe.
Am I going to vote for Donald Trump...Lord willing that God even permits us an election? Of Course! Anything short of that would be a similitude of partaking in the coronation and worship of an ancient Mesopotamian death cult deity. My question to you is....and please take the time to actually consider it.....do you find yourself more.....weeping for America.....as Jeremiah wept for his people....or cheering for Donald Trump?
Modern America....August 16, 2016
It's only my opinion of course, but the country hit song from 16 years ago Just Another Day In Paradise, sung by Phil Vassar and co-written by Vassar and Craig Wiseman is one of the most poignant and edifying songs that country music ever produced. It's on my iPhone and I listen to it often because it portrays a part of America that was and is still great. There are multitudes of couples getting divorced today because they cannot handle what they perceive as the drudgeries and responsibilities of married life...that the husband and father in this song sums up in this simple refrain thrice repeated...
I wouldn't trade it for anything.
And I ask the Lord every night
For just another day in paradise.
In one way or another, and to one degree or another, we all bear responsibility for the collapse of this once great nation, but faithful trusting fathers such as in this song, and mothers who have prayed every morning, noon and evening for their children, and senior citizens who helped build this once God-fearing nation while never departing over those many years the love of their Lord, and young people who begin this same journey amidst temptations their fathers never knew while being aware of the many trials and difficulties ahead, and many in our military who display the greatest courage and often give that ultimate sacrifice knowing full well that this nation they are defending has rejected the King of Kings...it's these people that God has not forgotten as we head full-steam into a maelstrom that will culminate in an inferno, and it is these folks who will be kept through that maelstrom and be taken up to meet the "Son of Man coming in clouds with great power and glory."
As it stands now, these examples are not representative of the whole or even majority of America today, for if it were we would not be under judgement as I write. The consensus of even the patriots of our nation is that God would be more than pleased to see a republican president, pleased enough to restore us to greatness. He would overlook our dalliances with idolatry for a couple of originalist Supreme Court justices. He would rescind his warnings of destruction if we but make a concerted attempt to end our slaughter of the unborn, and He would restore our hegemony in military and economic might if we would only put Jesus back in Christmas.
Have the majority of Americans moved one inch closer to their Creator in the seven plus years of our Marxist captivity? Has the church moved one inch further way from the culture that mocks God in science and education and its entertainments? What we have accomplished is a renewed respect for our Constitution which is admirable, but we have put the cart before the horse, for that Constitution would not have come about had not God's Word first been consulted and He Himself reverenced.
We have come to terms with who Barack Hussein Obama is, and who Hillary Rodham Clinton is, and even who the Republican elitist establishment are, but we have not come to terms with who and what we ourselves have become. The television comedy Modern Family could not have survived much less become phenomenally popular without our participation. Sports could have not become the idol it has become without our fanatic support. Greed would not be dominant in the workplace, the education of our children would not have been hijacked, whole professions would not have prostituted themselves, all this and more could not have come about had we not scurried after the crumbs thrown to us.
Ultimately, the problem is that we cannot see the enormity of our own guilt that has led to God's judgements that are increasing in frequency and intensity. Thus we turn to politics to save us! Donald Trump is our only choice in this coming election... should God even permit us to get there...surely you can see this opinion from these posts...but Donald trump is in need of the Savior more than he needs electoral votes......and as for us.... our 'help' could only come from the Lord Jesus Christ, and that only if our hope is in Him alone!
