President Trump told religious leaders just yesterday in a conference call...."We have a tremendous year coming up. We're going to beat this plague." Vice President Pence also spoke in the call....the VP saying...."The president says we will defeat the coronavirus, and we'll come back stronger than ever before, and it will be the faith of the American people that laid the foundation for that great, great comeback." What 'faith' would that be Mr. Vice President.....as representatives of different religions were part of that call? We cannot even separate ourselves as to the gospel of Jesus Christ.
Jeremiah was given a vision that we read about in chapter 24. In it he sees two baskets of figs....one was of 'bad figs' while the other 'good figs.' Nebuchadnezzar had taken captives back to Babylon....a humbling experience....but these were the 'good' figs....for God would use this to their good and His glory. Those that stayed in Jerusalem and Judah were as us today who will not humble ourselves....but will continue to build that which took us far from God to begin with. Not only have we not separated ourselves from a decaying culture and dreams of worldly greatness....having only fashioned an evangelical niche within it....but now....having a glimpse of the virus subsiding....are determined to build again....greater than ever....apparently having learned nothing.
