I’d certainly feel hopeful to see Ted make it, and yet let’s remember that Ted is not a one man dynamo. He needs the support of those who would root for the Lord, just as much as any other Christian would.
Even at the best, not everybody’s desiderata, even the very noblest, will be met. That is the condition of this mortal world, and should remind us to remember that the earth and all that is in it, is the Lord’s. Will we accept heaven’s offer, not to turn earth into heaven (impossible) but to see the kingdom of heaven spread (very possible)?
Yes, but I seem to remember that GOD created MAN to be the caretaker of the world.
And .. in case you forgot, Adam and Eve disobeyed God and caused a curse to come upon the earth ..... and guess what ..?? It’s still here .. and I would hardly call the current earth, “the Lord’s”.
What the Lord has dominion over is THE HEARTS OF HUMANs WHO ARE SOLD OUT TO HIM. The earth is still in the control of man.
