Times Change, Nations Fall

          There has been little positive change in America since the following post from February of 2015. Communism accomplished much in its prep work.....and will soon challenge once again the emaciated patriotism in much of the divided nation it designed and sculpted. Globalists have picked off their fiercest opposition here in America one by one. We....in our presumptive victorious stupor.....celebrate a 26,000 point parasitic tapeworm jeopardizing any and all economic gains made in the past year. Our patriotism is now morphing into arrogance....our religiosity as weak if not weaker than before the 2016 election. We think that we are winning.....and thus have cast all caution to the wind as we worry little about the risks of excluding God from our decision making or our national consciousness.

Times Change.....Nations Fall

          It's no use crying over it. It's not the first time that something like this has happened. But then Jeremiah felt the same way over Jerusalem. It's natural when you see something that you love... particular when its your very own country...to come to tears at its destruction. I must be a little more sentimental than most I guess but it takes all kinds to make this world and that was part of the beauty of it.
         America has indeed collapsed. When was the final nail driven? I don't know...maybe it was with Roe v Wade...maybe it was the same-sex marriage legalization...maybe it was the inauguration of Barack Obama....maybe it was when we turned the Lord's Day into a day of sports? I can't really even pinpoint the beginning of the slide for there have been so many over so many decades. I do know this, that it was at first gradual and then the collapse accelerated so much that today we are a  God-forsaken people, adrift, rudderless and listing like a drunken sot.
        Friends tell me in effect that I don't have to watch what is happening, but it's as much what I don't see as what as what I see. I don't see Thomas Jefferson anymore. In fact I see people trying to destroy his contributions. I don't see George Washington anymore other than on the flier from a Presidents Day sale, instead I see the abomination of the National Prayer Breakfast in Washington D. C. I don't see Benjamin Franklin's wisdom...I see Mark Zuckerberg's narcissistic poison. I don't see a president saving the Union as Abraham Lincoln did....I do see Obama destroying it. I don't see Martin Luther King's teaching moments but I see Karl Marx everywhere wearing tam and academic regalia.
        Times change. Nations fall. It's only God's Word that remains the same. Israel was his beloved nation. It was through God's hand alone that they prospered....that they even existed. And when they rebelled, God had patience and sent prophets to warn of judgment which always came.
         Yes, the times have changed as have nations, but God's Word addresses every age. Any and all elections now are merely for choosing leaders who will take us through the coming maelstrom. Ted Cruz is the only legitimate candidate whose actions as president could plead our case for mercy. The others could only flail helplessly in the winds, winds that will make us sink as Peter did if we take our eyes off of Jesus.
