I pleaded....I don't think that 'begged' would be too strong a word....and this for well over a year....that we would somehow replace Donald Trump on the Republican ticket.....that we wouldn't have to come to this. I posted that if Donald Trump had any decency in him at all.....if he cared for America at all....that he would do as LBJ did in 1968.....but he is a sick man....with absolutely no empathy for anyone....and would rather see us suffer....then do something humble and caring for others. So here we are.
We have no idea what God's plan is in this election....other than it and everything related to it is judgment on a rebellious people....all of us.....not just the bad Democrats. Joe Biden v Donald Trump is judgment....as it doesn't get any worse than this. So let us watch and pray for God's mercy....fully confident of this....that if God will have mercy on us in that we might have some sane leadership....with some wisdom....as the difficult days ahead come upon us....that He would do so in ways that take us by surprise....through remarkbale turn of events....and breathtaking displays of His wisdom....for this has always been His method....might I remind you of how it must have felt standing before the sea....with Phaoroh closing in....but let us not forget other examaples....as when the Babylonians carried most of Judah away into exile.
The Mooch.....I'm no fan of Anthony Scaramucci....but if nothing else he knows Donald Trump....and there is a video put out by him that Drudge has a link to right now. So if you are one that has consistently refused to read what you have been told is the fake news about Donald Trump....would you at least give this three or four minute video a chance.....for after reading eighty books on Trump.....books for him and against him and by him....(well not by him by ghostwritten for him)....I can attest to you that the Mooch got it right on this.
Folks the purpose of these posts on Donald Trump is certainly not to encourage anyone to cast a vote for the other side....nor is it even to not vote for either man as I'm not doing.....but the purpose is to try to wake up as many evangelicals as possible....on where they went wrong in the first set of primaries....that helped get us into this mess....and where they went wrong in the past four years in following a false prophet. Come what may....we will find out what happens in this particular political election....hopefully soon. Donald Trump's hold on our minds right now revolves around the election....when it is over....and if he remains in office....we will least be able to think freely again....unencumbered by politics and pride and greed....and I do believe that our conclusions will be different....but either way.....Biden or Trump....the church will need to put its focus on Jesus Christ.....where it should have been all along.....for that which we have brought upon ourselves....particularly as we have put princes and military strength and money over our dependence on the One who brought us into being as a nation.....and sustained even though we often went astray....will certainly test everything within us as to what we believe...and who it is that really has our trust. The LORD is good, A stronghold in the day of trouble, And He knows those who take refuge in Him." (Nahum 1:7 NASB)
IVANKA....says now that she is unapologetically pro-life....that motherhood changed her on this. Folks....the Trump's are setting you up again. After the inauguration in 2016 Ivanka and Jared visited the president of Planned Parenthood in Texas with a possible deal....PP could split in two.....and do their abortions in the new half....while not doing them in the official PP half.....therefore continuing to do what they do.....and still get federal money. The PP president wanted no part of it and stated so in her book....that made some headlines at the time. Ivanka has been a mother since 2011.....but I guess those first seven or so years did not really convince her to be pro-life. This is all a show folks....the whole family is caught up in it.
John Piper....I had been hoping for quite some time that at least one prominent pastor in America would stand up against Donald Trump. I posted this back in March....Where is that one man of stature....whether he be a acclaimed minister or government leader....that will call us as a nation to repentance? Is there no one willing to risk ridicule in order to warn us? Can no one even fit into their sermon that we are not to..."sleep as others do, but let us be alert and sober"....or that an apostasy is coming? Is there no one willing even to remind us....as Peter felt it necessary...."As long as I am in this earthly dwelling"....to stir us up to...."be all the more diligent to confirm (our) calling and election"? Now there are multitudes of pastors in America who would endorse Joe Biden....but that's not what I'm talking about....for I'm alluding to a genuine Christian pastor....well-known so as to get the attention of genuine Christians. I just saw this headline on Drudge...."Prominent Pastor warns evangelicals of Trump's 'nation-corrupting' sins...." John Piper fits the bill. Read his article that Drudge posted.....(or Google...John Piper warns)....he doesn't mention anyone's name.....no endorsement.....only as I read it....a question....the same question that I have.....how are the sins of the one side deadly.....but ours are only toxic?"
John Piper wrote this with President Trump's Christian supporters in mind...."Have you inadvertently created the mind-set that the greatest issue in life is saving America and its earthly benefits.....or have you shown your people that the greatest issue is exalting Christ with or without America."

One Long Continuous Monologue.....please consider these thoughts as a partial explanation on how Donald Trump built up a new party that does not question him. It revolves around continuing to speak....thus indoctrinating the listener.....while limiting to zero if possible interruptions or questions.....and this on a daily basis over a span of years, Is this not what you have seen....Trump talks.....at the rallies....or on a show like Hannity....or in front of reporters with helicopter blades whirling noisily in the background....or on his constant Twitter feed....where one really does not have time to think or analyse....only listen and imbibe. If Trump is on Hannity he will go on nonstop for 45 minutes.....even Rush has to ask a favour to get a word in....and Rush and Hannity et al have the same means at their disposal in their own shows.....which are almost 24/7. We have been bulldozed folks....by a master.
