I have to admit that when Obama “won” re-election I became more depressed than Madonna’s audience was when they were forced to watch her strip the other night. For God’s sake, Madonna, put some material on that mess, material girl. I guess she’s going to follow Cher’s path and torture us with her exhibitionism ‘til she takes the big dirt nap. Like a virgin? Yeah … right. More like a sturgeon. Hang it up, Madge … you’re scaring the children. Anyway, back to my post-election depression.
As I was saying, giddy I was not that Obama secured a second term via Fieldworks, entitlement mooks and the sponge-brained propaganda swillers of the ludicrous Left … but he did. And for that I must concede that if there is a God and this God is defined by the contents of the sacred Scripture, then this God must be really ticked off at the U.S. because He allowed, in His sovereignty, for us to be saddled with four more years of an administration that blows worse than Hurricane Sandy.
Yep, for those who take their cue from the Bible, you must have noticed that anytime God wanted to wake His wayward nation the heck up because they were belligerently ignoring His statutes, He usually appointed a crappy leader who brought their nation down to Chinatown through bad dictates.
Sure, God sometimes plagued His contumacious people with frogs or hemorrhoids or let enemy nations batter them unmercifully, but on many occasions He simply let them be governed by a daft king, some Moronosaurus Rex who ignored God’s ways and led Israel into a moral and economic ditch. That’s right. You heard me. God allowed it to happen. Not El Diablo, but God.
Personally, I don’t know why God hasn’t whooshed us completely off the map by now. I do know that if He doesn’t kick our backside for us showing Him our backside that—forgive me Lord—He owes Sodom and Gomorrah a big apology.
So, what can we do? Here are five musts that’ll get us on a decent footing with our compass pointing true north again.
1. As people of faith, we can quit sucking our thumb in the fetal position and wetting our big Christian diaper. God never promised us a rose garden—especially when our nation snubs its nose at His commands. It’s going to get rough, so I suggest putting on a cup and quit crying like a wuss.
2. Before we go on whining and moaning about the Left’s wantonness, we’d better make dang certain that our house is in order, eh Church Lady?
3. We might want to recommit our lives to God and our God-honoring founding docs and not give any wannabe leader who does not hold our Constitution in the highest esteem, on the left or right, our hearts and votes. Duh.
4. All the Pollyanna Christians out there who voted for this anti-biblical mess, you should be ashamed and hit yourself in the head with a sledgehammer. Repeatedly.
5. Lather, rinse and repeat steps one through four.
Look, the only hope I hold out for America is that God, at the end of the day, is extremely merciful. And therein lies my solitary confidence because we deserve to get our clock cleaned for how we’ve behaved and not receive a second chance.
In my obnoxious opinion I believe He’s going to allow us to sweat it for a few more years just to be certain that our repentance isn’t specious and our commitment to His governance is steadfast. I think that He thinks we’re full of it and truly don’t want to go His way, and the only way to ferret us out is to see if we’ll stick with His program over time or if we will simply cave in and bow and kiss the ring of stale statism.
And that, my friend, is a story that’s yet to be told.
Check out my latest video on how Allen West got scammed by Obama’s Fieldworks.
He has allowed us to have obama for two terms. I would say that is judgement.
My daughter, who is 28, said “we deserve for God to smite us”. I agree.
Love the Valley-Girl style/not so much.
I have believed for at least four years that we are under the judgment of the Almighty.
Kaslin, G*D IS judging us. Look at Romans 1 and see if it doesn’t describe out currant situation PERFECTLY! When we started OVERTLY treating Israel shabbily(Remember Israel is the APPLE of G*D’s eye) then G*D withdrew his hand of protection over us and gave the MAJORITY of Americans over to STRONG DELUSION! It will get MUCH WORSE! Be prepared for 1st, 2nd and 3rd Century style Persecution!
Have to apologize? Who is going to make him?
Perhaps you attribute action, or in this case in action, to God that he really had no say or hand in.
Psalms 12:8

If Abraham found ten righteous men God said:
Gen 18:32 Then he said, “May the Lord not be angry, but let me speak just once more. What if only ten can be found there?”
He answered, “For the sake of ten, I will not destroy it.”
A Christian is righteous by the blood of the lamb. As long as we have ten Christians, God has nothing to apologize for.
He is wrong about one thing.........this isn’t about the nation repenting. It’s about the Church repenting!
I have come to the same conclusion...
I used to think Obama was an aberration...
No longer...God is obviously sending this country a message...
>>I have believed for at least four years that we are under the judgment of the Almighty.>>
God works in mysterious ways. I’ve suspected for four years that God approves of our Constitution, and will make us see the light. If it takes four more years to wake us up, then we will survive as a nation. For now, pray, and then pray some more.
>>When we started OVERTLY treating Israel shabbily
When did we start doing that? Because this judgement has been coming at us like a freight train for 20 years. All that time, we’ve been sending money to Israel and supporting them in whatever they choose to do.
Perhaps the problem is that we have too many Americans who are getting dressed for football games today instead of preparing to go to church. And even a lot of those who are heading off to church are more concerned with “what do I get out of it” instead of worship and praise.
God sent us his only Son to save ALL of mankind. When Jesus died, the veil was torn and we all become the apple of His eye, but only if we choose to accept His grace.
We worship the idols of wealth, materialism, and celebrity and 20% of us give Him an hour of our week. But if we got a good tee time or the football game starts at 1pm, we might have to skip even that hour.
Israel is not a vessel of salvation. Just as feeding the poor isn’t a requirement for grace, neither is taking care of Israel. However, if we were a nation who accepted God’s grace and lived that way, then we would WANT to feed the poor and protect Israel. If we are under judgement, it isn’t because of our treatment of Israel. It is because of our treatment of God.
He knows our heart. He does not need to wait to see if our repentance is true. He does however discipline us. This discipline is a loving discipline. A discipline that helps us become more like Him. It is not our job to make this a righteous nation. It is our mission to lead others to Christ. Jesus has come to gather all that the Father has given Him. None that have been given to Him will be lost.
Jesus said he went ahead to make a place for us. That place is not here on this earth. On this earth we are aliens. This is not our home. Our mission as Christians is to make disciples of all the nations. This is done by baptizing not by voting.
I think you are missing the point here...God is judging the NATION just like he judged Israel, not the individual Christian or even a city like Sodom...(San Fran)
When the Assyrians destroyed the Northern Kingdom...I am sure there were ten righteous Jews...God destroyed them because as a NATION they did not repent of their evil ways..
Look, the only hope I hold out for America is that God, at the end of the day, is extremely merciful. And therein lies my solitary confidence because we deserve to get our clock cleaned for how we’ve behaved and not receive a second chance.
Great post and I agree!
We have elections where evil won - and that includes voter fraud.
God is NOT judging us. The world still have to go through His wrath and that hasn't even started yet.
Bottom line - don't blame God for what evil is doing!
Apples and oranges. The nation of Israel is like no other nation ever. This nation was established on an oath made by each of the Israelite's at Mt Sinai. The entire nation made a promise to God. The nation of Israel has been the subject of discipline, not final judgement. The nation of Sodom was judged by God because of its total immorality despite it never making such a commitment that Israel made.
Under the grace of Jesus Christ, it is not about nations. It is about individuals accepting Christ. Unlike Israel, that made a corporate pledge to God. We as Christians do not make a pledge and we do not make it corporately. We merely accept. The Holy Spirit does the work.
