I Have Always Had This One Recommendation

                When the Democrats are in power.....and they have most of the news media and just about all of the popular media....The View....and things like that....they are indeed a powerful force to behold....but in that situation they do not need any intellectual acumen.....because this is not a grid that uses the intellect. That doesn't by any means make it weak because the culture itself does not use the intellect. The visible and easily discernable result of all of this was Kamala Harris....who went for years just being the woman who drove everyone nuts with her constant laughing. When the rubber hit the road in the election.....that laughter was of no use...and what came out was what we now refer to as....word salad....where she can talk for minutes on end without really saying anything at all. 
                 So right now we have the situation where Donald Trump is trying to run the world through bluster and threats. All of the diplomatic expertise and analysis by intelligence agencies and diplomats and scholars garnered over the years has been discarded....which means....the defenses have been torn down. The Democrats are having a hard time dealing with this because their mental acuity has atrophied. Whereas there should by now be a strong critical response to Trump....they are coming up empty. They were good with January 6 because the facts were undeniable....so no one ever really needed to analyze anything they said because the facts were before their eyes. 
                  Most of the world at this time is running scared. They see that Trump is in control. They are backing off just as the tech titans have backed off. That leaves only the old Republican establishment to warn of what Trump is doing....and as of right now they have effectively been banished and purged. So Trump will have free reign until the catastrophes begin. Putin and Xi Jinping are not running scared. They are playing this like a chess game as they always do. Trump has been pro-Putin and anti-NATO since the beginning. This is one thing the Democrats could address....for Trump loves the methods of dictators....he admires them! 
                  The evangelical had been a very powerful force since the days of Reagan. They were not only a common sense base for conservatism but also a biblical base....but Trump won them over....and that common sense appears to be all but gone....and the biblical aspect....which is the most important in all of this....is indeed all gone.
                   Right now there is still that remnant. There will always be that remnant....of Christians....who can still discern a problem. I have been wrong on this before but I have to believe that they will come to see that this is not just a problem....where they could look at Trump as the lesser of two evils....but that mere and ineffective dislike will turn to alarm ....at the biblical potential of what is happening right now....and righteous indignation at what Trump has done to the church/ 
                   Prayers are offered every day that God will return John MacArthur to health and to his pulpit. Those certainly are my prayers even though I am not sure which John MacArthur would enter that pulpit....the stalwart teacher and preacher of a half century who called out any enemy to the gospel of Jesus Christ....or the more recent protester of lockdowns. Either way the prayers are there from all of us.
                   There are many other men like John Piper....another stalwart defender of the faith....who were never taken off course....but who seem to be biding their time....as these end-times evolve ever so quickly.
                    I have one recommendation. We are now in a famine of the Word....which is a biblical concept. It happens. My recommendation is that until God has mercy upon us...and begins to awaken these men in these pulpits....as we in the pews wander aimlessly away from the Shepherd....prone to disease and wolves....constantly going after grass on the other side of the fences....that many of us sheep might be steered to the shepherds of the past who God used mightily....mightily....to protect their flocks as the rest of the church collapsed on what Spurgeon in his time called....the Downgrade.
                    So....incorporate Charles Spurgeon and Martyn Lloyd-Jones and J. C. Ryle and R. C. Sproul....and John Piper's desiringgod.org....and even John MacArthur's gty.org....into your daily Christian life! The sermons are there! You can easily Google men who read Spurgeon's sermons....and you can listen to Martyn Lloyd-Jones himself. Forget all this sport nonsense....and cast off all these radio and television and Internet political talking heads. 
                     May God apply a balm along with discernment....for it will not be easy when we finally see how far we have strayed....and the mistakes that we have made. May He give strength to this remnant....and unite us....for the opposition will be intense. May He do all this if it be in His perfect will and perfect timing....and all for the glory of the name above all names....Jesus Christ....His Son....Our Lord....Our Savior....and our already victorious Coming King!
