Changing The Subject Midstream

                Trump has very serious psychological disorders. Something is not working right at all up there. Surely he is a sociopath and megalomaniac....but what else? 
                The reports are that 70,000 to 80,000 jobs may be cut at the Veterans Administration. I know people....gentle souls....all over the place....and so do you that rely on Medicaid. They are going to try to go after that.
                 How did we let this happen? How did we let Elon Musk get anywhere near anything in our capital? This is not sound economic reform folks. This is overkill!
                  The national debt was around 19 trillion when Trump took office....and I posted then that there is no coming back from this....and we are over 36 trillion today. He wants glory.....and he thinks that these cuts can bring that glory to him.
                  Trump has stopped....temporarily anyway....military aid to the Ukraine....and also severed....temporarily again anyway....military intelligence being passed on to them. What kind of insanity is this?  He wants a peace treaty....for his temporary glory. He talks about mothers and fathers of soldiers but he doesn't care anything about these things. Everyone outside of MAGA knows this. What would we do if the next thing was that he negotiated a great deal for military equipment....with Putin? Are we that gone?
                  I'm going to change the subject midstream. Today began the annual....and also perennially sold out....with thousands of pastors....actual born again pastors....Shepherd's Conference....at John MacArthur's church in Los Angeles. I posted a series of posts on this before last year's conference. My hope and prayer was that....OK....all these men came for a conference which there would be very good and sound biblical teaching.....and they would receive encouragement....but I hoped for something more....that the Holy Spirit would give them something not on their meticulously planned agenda. 
                   This isn't anything new to me....I have just about every year for a couple of decades been disappointed with denominational synods and conferences. The world is coming apart....false messiahs and false prophets are increasingly everywhere....performing great signs and wonders....to lead astray...."if possibe....even the elect"....and doing a pretty good job of it.
                    John MacArthur has been fighting very serious medical issues since January 1 of 2024. He is still not back in his pulpit but according to the conference website right now....he is still scheduled to give the closing address. 
                     If it be God's will and to His Glory....may He move over this conference in the next two days....and shake pillars....and drive men to their knees. May the organizers worry about the seeming chaos....until they see that God has taken control of the conference! May God awaken us out of this stupor that we are in....and out of these doldrums.
                     If this not be of God's will....may He give us wisdom and strength to carry on....and increase our knowledge of our dependence of Him. May he pick us up when we stumble....and cause us to stumble when we attempt to run before Him. May our ears be clear to hear His voice....and our vision restored to see His glory!
