We are right there with you brother...
It’s hard watching this disaster...
Yes I know, but if you just ignore Kanye West he will go away.
I both commiserate and sympathize (and suffer) with you in what is happening. All I know is that I believe the future that will come if what is happening today actually endures, there will be no scholars or historians. At least not the kind you or I might recognize.
I admire your optimism, but don’t share it. The socialists have been pushing their Cloward/Priven strategy to break down society so as to rebuild into the perfect socialist utopia. I believe that that strategy is also the conservatives best hope at this time. Keep your powder dry.
Because, “Obama pay my rent outa his stash.”
When politicians give away free stuff to victim groups those groups vote for them. Benjamin Franklin said it best. When asked, “What kind of government did you give us?” He responded, “A republic, if you can keep it.”
My name is Obamandias, look on my works and despair,
...ponder all of the ruin and despair established there.
Amen, bro.
Sad to see that our sanctuary was half-full at best last night. We will remove seats for this morning's sermon and there will still be more empty seats than occupied ones.
It's time to start filling those seats and reaching out to your friends and neighbors, people.
Remember it's call the Great CO-mission. We play a part.
It’s the same thing that dumped England - too many wars and the dumping of children. In the first half of last century we fought in Europe. In the second half in the Pacific. Now we are into the NE and Africa. Not paying for any of them and now forced to borrow from China. At the same time, we have found ways to prevent and abort children, to dissolve marriages and to substitute government for fathers. Those that have the ‘good life’ see no need to change. Today the drums of war are even louder and the babies voices in the womb go unheard. God be with us.
Do we need a prayer campaign? A certain time every day that we all pray for our nation?
“If we all pull together, perhaps we can reverse this situation... the answer is God”
You are right, of course. However, I see the country so split right now. Blacks vs whites, Christians painted as evil while muslims are good, heterosexuals are bigots while homosexuals are liberated, North vs South, selling baby parts is okay while dying polar bears is sad. Add to the mix the constant flowing in of illegals that are parasites to the economy and add nothing but crime/violence... we are pretty much in bad shape. All done by design IMHO. BUT, I pray.. and pray often for our Country.
I’d hit it.
Because: 0bama, H! & Congress.
Apathy, lack of righteous living by believers and non-believers, lack of fasting and prayer. Also, we like to have our comforts and leisure time separate from everything else, so we tend to take care of the self life, and let the other go to Hell. A sense of giving up, nothing seems to help...all these are where we are at, especially Christians. When you cannot get 10 people on free republic to join with you any longer in prayer, it is a symptom that the spread of decay is greater than we thought.
We’ve had dozens of judgments from God in localities all over the country, but even though churches respond, there is no repentance, no turning to God for help. We’ve become dependent on government.
I don’t expect revival any longer. What I see is rampant and gross sin. The church is responding wrong, for the most part. Instead of holding the line of Truth, we are getting on board to tolerate it, we are giving credence to it. Speaking the Truth in love is distorted into showing tolerance for the sin instead of pointing the sinner to the Truth in love. Some are, of course, but they are few and far between. Then you have the ones who condemn openly and get in the sinners’ faces as if that was going to help. Where are the weeping prayer vigils where the lost are lifted up before God and prayed for? Where is the fasting and the turning away from our own habitual sin to make our hearts right before God?
This is why nothing is happening and politics will NOT save us. I don’t care who gets elected, because without God, we cannot be saved from the mess we are in. PERIOD!
Ouch!
But perhaps there's a slow counter-trend building. A trend of people who know that their government, their media, and the global tyrannical interests that support it are destroying our country.
Perhaps at some point, we will build a majority of these kinds of people, and we will break on through.
Or maybe not.
Amazing isn’t it? Suicide on a grand scale in full color and slow motion.
If we are lucky we have a professor that just stood out and when you got to grad school he let you know him personally if you were worthy, somehow I was taken into the circle of acquaintances of such a man. One morning after being in the lab almost all night long I happened upon him having his breakfast at Denny’s. We got into a conversation, a deep one 40 years ago about why we are decaying. His answer? Greed and stupidity are at the root of most things that can’t be explained by any other means. If you combine the two you have the recipe for a disaster. Stupid people and Greedy people have brought us to this end we are living.
Dr. Don was a very good man and brilliant to boot. He is long gone. Like my Dad, another good and brilliant man, Dr. Don fought battles for our Liberty and what we claimed was right, I am glad neither of them is here to see this mess. It would break both their hearts.
Yes, God is the only answer but God expects us to do something. He will let us starve if we do not take action to feed ourselves. God expected David to take five stones and slay the giant Goliath and God commanded Joshua to march around Jericho to destroy it. What does God expect us to do now?
God? God, you say? You blaspheme!! ALL HAIL THE DICTATOR!!
“It’s utter damnation on a grand scale, and I bet none of you expected it”
Yeah, we did. Decades ago, too. In fact, I am amazed this planet is still holding itself together even to the thin extent that it is.
