I do take hope in the knowledge that the contemporaries of the Apostles living under Roman rule no doubt felt the same.
Actually, it's worse than vanity. Utopian beliefs have led to millions of people being slaughtered by their governments.
Good post. It’s all about where you place your trust and hope. -The government? or God. Or yourself?
Tried one, never can trust the other, ALWAYS taken care of... ALWAYS, -by God alone. He’s never failed yet. I’m still here to write about it.
I shouldn’t be.
this pretty much sums up my life now, I really have given up on the US politically
we have become so immoral that staunch conservatives promoted a cultist abortion loving gun hater who gave us gay marriage and government run health care and told us it is okay becase he wasn’t obama
and it definitely showed the split in the r-party
I have several friends, of evangelical bent, who used to be quite politically active, but have now given up entirely on America. They see the country as an evil cancer that is no longer worth even trying to salvage.
When I talk with them, my default position is to argue otherwise. But I find my own arguments pretty hollow in the end, when I see the country devolving into such a corrupt, deviant cesspool. Fag marriage seems to be the final, symbolic nail-in-the-coffin. When a country sinks to this level of degeneracy, you KNOW it’s over.
It’s the end of the world as we know it…and I feel fine.
Thank you for posting this!
I'm not religious, so I don't arrive at perspective and detachment from that direction. At times I want to shut off all incoming information to simply pretend that the depraved insanities are not as overwhelmingly common as I know they are.
Truthfully, I am driven more crazy by the number of otherwise intelligent and responsible people that flat out say they find nothing amiss in what the sickos and despots are doing. IMO, the responsibility for our state of affairs lies with them more so than the lefty pervs. There are a heck of a lot of "enablers" in our society.

People are stupid and short sighted. They do not have a promise land in view, they only have something very vain they want now.
Granted, even in the best of circumstances and people, we can hardly turn a mechanical universe with its own inertia into Eden, although we can make it very livable in the meantime.
The “what difference does it make” pseudophilosophy evil leader Hillary’s excuse is that we all die eventually and she spits on it all like a bad faithed fool who hates God for not taking care of her, failing to see that the gift is one of taking care of yourself in an imperfect world, and the more imperfect, the greater that dignity becomes fulfilled for whomever apply themselves in faith.
I watch the misery of event closely because through it I see the hand of God here and there, and His being right at the cross. The more the crucified stand in contrast to the pseudcrucified of women rights, gays, islam, abortion, and all sorts of scammers of emotions, the more I love God.
It is part anguish but also part fascination. I would not miss it, even in its horrors of blocked personal and national fulfillment instigated by the communist regimes intent on making losers out of all of us, collectivized thus in low submissive animal resigned conforming submission.
