Well It's Wednesday morning....can anyone testify to a marked change from their pulpits this past Lord's Day.....with America literally reeling? The answer is probably in the negative....for our pulpits have abandoned us....too fearful to warning us or even bringing us to any self-examination.
Democracy....(constitutional republic or not....the people cast votes)....is only as valuable as the mindset of the people within that democracy....(or constitutional republic)....and right now in America....it has given us either a God-hating Democrat Party....or a God-using and -abusing Republican Party.
Ballot question 1...."So when they had gathered, Pilate said to them. 'Whom do you want.....'?" The political strategists at the time 'persuaded' the people....." who voted by acclimation...."Barabbas."
Ballot question 2...."Then what shall I do with Jesus...?" And the people again shouted their vote. The same man they days earlier had shouted praises to....they now demanded crucifixion....democracy at work.
Amendment...."But the thing displeased Samuel when they said. "Give us a king to judge us." God then told Samuel...."Obey the voice of the people in all that they say to you, for they have not rejected you, but they have rejected me from being king over them."
God has judged us severely....and when the maelstrom comes....and we call out to God....He will say to those who have not trusted in Him...."But where are your gods that you made for yourself? Let them arise, if they can save you, in your time of trouble; for as many as your cities are your gods. O Judah."
Matthew 27
1 Samuel 8
Jeremiah 2
