Hmmm... blessed issue. That's the problem here! We aren't asking God to bless these issues (or our efforts) any more, as best I can see it. This is not the rocket science of theology! Ask our loving Lord (He never quit being love) to exalt Himself and to that end, bless. God's not holding the grudge against us. We're holding the grudge against Him.
The answer isn't found in the GOP (though the GOP seems to be the only place such things get a foothold). It's found both on our knees and in our praises of God. God isn't someone to praise just when things are happy. God is to be praised when things are sad! That's where the spiritual energy is reaped!
i read the headline and my first thought was that this was about republicans.
And our most virtuous people will BE that way until they start to praise and glorify God again not just because they might be in the mood but because God deserves it. God’s the winner. Without Him we are losers. And God is tickled to be exalted but we have to invite Him to do that! This is not spiritual rocket science, although the result of heeding it will be to take off like spiritual rockets... TRY IT... you’ll see and you’ll wonder why you ever slacked off. The liberals are reaping spiritual power from Satan by their enthusiastic cheering of their wicked ideas. But Satan is a little runt next to God. Really guys and gals... quit being chickens, the power is there in heaven, open the tap!
Thanks, FRiend!
AGREED! See my tag line.
The SCOTUS spoke up on the voter ID but is that going to stop Holder from dragging Texas into court?
Why do “we” always surrender? “Well, its a settled issue now”
Am I that obvious ?
As far as I’m concerned, it’s a “they”. There hasn’t been a “we” as far as the base and the GOP are concerned in decades, if ever.
Yup, nobody says we won’t have to mow down demons on the way to evangelizing. But be of good cheer! He has overcome the world, and don’t buy it for a minute when Satan lies in your face that it’s permanent doom and gloom here and it’s no use. He knows he’s a goner when he sees God’s face.
I’m ready for some holy yeehaws. Cowboy up America and get right (confess sin to God and get immediate forgiveness) and praise the Lord, whoever wants to see this evil ousted. It’s not always easy but it’s always possible.
true
Yeah, another Satanic lie. We can’t guarantee any exact political result at any time but we can get the spiritual tide rolling the other way. Really, it’s like we have King Kong, they have Pee Wee Herman, but King Kong won’t move unless you give him a hug and a cheer... I don’t think this is over trivializing.
Same here. And I wasn't disappointed.
I disagree with the premise here, Alan. What the left does is plan long term, and one way or another (threats, payoffs - whatever) silence the ones that want to move faster than the planners want to move. They move slowly, steadily, and steathly until the environment is right, then pounce.
Want some examples? Banning private ownership of guns; removal of religion as powerful presence in society; advancement of homosexual rights; transference of wealth from earners to spenders; cradle to grave dependence on the government for everything from health to education - no options allowed.
These were all long term goals - very long term. When they weren't popular, they were kept below the radar but ground was being prepared. Eventually conditions were right and then they moved with shocking speed and stunningly success.
This is a war. The left uses the tactics of Sun Tzu and we, the Charge of the Light Brigade. The glorious charge of the Light Brigade. They fought to the death, alright.
Good points, all. I enjoy reading your opinions. However, the Republicans and the GOP are going the way of all our higher institutions.
They’re being infiltrated, intimidated, bribed, threatened, and given offers that they can’t refuse.
Every last spineless one of them, who gets mealy mouthed and “listens to” and repeats demwit advice about what it takes for Conservatives
to win, is a traitor to our country and the oath they took when they were seated in their high offices.
Their lives, fortunes, and sacred honor will never be at risk so long as we have wishy-washy, easily swayed cowards on our side of the aisle.
Jesus wept.
Ditto on that!
Amen!
