Now we know how the German people fell under the spell of the National Socialist Workers Party.
Wonder if this people are going to continue to convince themselves that all the horrifying things being warned this oligarchy and dictatorship will do cannot possibly happen here?
It happens when people start believing in men rather than in God.
Then, when what the men being believed in stand for, goes south, the believers get pulled in the same direction. Nobody dares say stop the game, let me get off.
I believe God is going to seriously reach out during this season of chaos. What I have no idea about, is whether enough people are going to respond, or respond strongly enough, to make a tangible political difference in this particular land at this particular time. It’s certainly possible, but if our goal is to fix our politics, our goal is way too small for the Lord. Our goal should be to fix our eternal destinies, to change our bookings from smoking to nonsmoking as it were. Then that will begin to reflect in circumstances.
... and after our destinies, our more immediate spiritual allegiances. Things which if they are wrong, they can be forgiven, but they can’t be excused.
