The Lost Decade

                Our beloved dog Special died suddenly on a rainy late November, 2008 day....and I desperately needed something to occupy my mind. I knew nothing about blogs. I just researched the topic and saw that I could start in a few minutes to write something on the Internet. The first post was on Thanksgiving Day and the topic of a la carte cable....where because cable stations were bundled.....we essentially had to pay for stations coming into our house that we didn't want....nor did we want to support them. Thus the title that I chose for these posts....Special Dog.
                I am now over 3700 posts. If these were just normal Christian posts....I would have wasted almost seventeen years now....writing things that literally can be found everywhere on the Internet....and better than I could write them. If these were primarily political posts I would also have wasted my life from the age of 58 to now 75.
                I was recently watching the 2013 movie Parkland....about that terrible day in November of 1963....and I have to just sit amazed at the skill....not only of doctors but all of the medical personal in that emergency room of Parkland Hospital in Dallas. I get amazed at men and women from all kinds of different professions and crafts. What can I possibly offer?
                Well it takes many years of hard and intense study to become a doctor....or a nurse. I could never have even begun anything like that....but I do have things that I put in the time and the study and the sweat and the tears. Whereas a doctor may have given up some pleasures in life to become a doctor....I have given up many....what we call pleasures....sports and hobbies....to learn what I have learned....of which few if anyone recognizes let alone appreciates....but I am happy because the Word of God is my emergency room.
                 So the purpose of these insignificant posts is to describe the gospel in words and thoughts that others may not have heard. Which is why I focus so often on being born again. This truth of eternal salvation is essentially lost in this contemporary church....particularly in the last....Lost Decade....of Trump and Biden and Trump....judgments from God on a very deserving people such as us.
                 I know what is out there available to the Christain public....and I know what is the power and the glory of God....Spurgeon....Lloyd-Jones....Sproul....MacArthur....men like that....and I know the fake.....false prophets....and I know the vast and powerless gospel that pervades all of evangelicalism across the country today. So I have constantly pointed to these and other men.....and added links to their sermons and teachings....and if the reader rejects it....that is God's business in dealing with it.....all I can do is warn.
                 So the reader here might wonder how I can say some of these things and yet it seems that Trump is the topic all the time? That's right....he is....but not because of politics. If Trump was just politics I would have hardly mentioned his name.....just as I hardly mentioned the names of Obama and Biden over the years.
                  No....this is not politics. This is a man who came right smack dab into the middle of evangelicalism in 2015....hence the Lost Decade....and prophesied and prophesied....even up to yesterday about the Golden Age that is to come.....when all of it is the exact opposite of what God's Word tells us of imminent judgment coming! He has single-handedly neutered and decimated evangelicalism in America. Ichabod....The glory has departed!
                  So he is a genuine biblical false prophet who has successfully led just about all of the evangelical sheep....astray....away from Christ.....trusting in princes and armies and money. And even worse than this....he....Trump....changed us where we have no wisdom or discernment to speak of....and no compassion on the poor and the alien among us....and are in fact driven by hate and anger and lust for money and power!
                  I could never be an EMT. I am not made of that stuff....or a policeman....but what I can do I pass on for you. I warn of imminent judgment and the near return of our Lord and Savior and King Jesus Christ. I warn that we need to become a separate and peculiar people once again. I warn of delusion and false prophets and the demonic that are everywhere today....even in the church. And I offer....and pray that you would take advantage of....the preaching and the teaching of men that God has in the past used mightily! I'll bring back the preaching here of just one of those men....
