I have never seen as much anger in the United States as I am seeing right now, and that greatly saddens me. No matter what happens, we should always love one another. Unfortunately, most Americans on both sides of the political spectrum are seething with hate right now. Leading up to the election in November, the left and the right were primarily attacking each other with angry words, but now the level of physical violence that we are witnessing is extremely alarming. The violence at the U.S. Capitol was just another example of the violence that stretched all throughout 2020 and that has continued in various parts of the nation this weekend. Most of the time, the left only wants to condemn the violence that the right has committed, and the right only wants to condemn the violence that the left has committed.
But anyone that wants to be intellectually consistent has got to speak out against all of it.
You can’t just be against rioting, looting, arson and attacks on federal buildings when people that you do not like do it.
Emotions are running so high right now, and I understand that people are frustrated. But no matter who we send to Washington, nothing ever seems to change very much. The truth is that the way that our government has operated has remained remarkably consistent throughout the Bush/Clinton/Bush/Obama/Trump years.
And no matter who is president for the next four years, our government is going to keep going in the same direction.
Ultimately, people are fighting over personalities. Many are absolutely convinced that the nation will be “saved” if their team wins, but that is a delusion.
I am sorry, but Joe Biden is not your personal Lord and Savior. I have heard from some people that are so proud that they voted for Joe Biden, but I simply don’t understand how anyone can be proud of voting for a political party that is responsible for the deaths of more than 60 million unborn Americans since 1973. For that alone, our nation deserves a fate that is worse than I can put into words. I think that what Franklin Graham said about the current state of our nation the other day is very appropriate…
“We are in trouble,” he said. “I believe God’s judgment is coming, for the sins of our nation are great and they are a stench in the nostrils of our Creator.”
On the other side, it is very important for Republicans to understand that Donald Trump is not the Messiah either. He is just a man. When he does what is right he should be commended, but when he does what is wrong he should be criticized. We like to say that our politicians are “public servants”, and we should start treating them as such. It should sicken us whenever we see anyone put our politicians up on pedestals and worship them.
We are not to worship any man.
Rather, we are supposed to worship God.
For years, I have been watching so many Americans put so much passion and so much energy into politics.
But politics is not going to solve America’s problems.
The only thing that is going to solve America’s problems is Jesus.
The reason why the United States became a great nation in the first place is because we were a Christian nation, and the only way we would ever have a chance of being a great nation again would be if we were to turn back to God with all of our hearts.
Anyone that comes to you with a plan to turn America around that does not include Jesus is just being delusional.
At this moment, deception is absolutely rampant on both sides of the political spectrum. Some of the most ridiculous rumors imaginable are flying all over the place, but multitudes of people are falling for them hook, line and sinker. Shadowy figures that don’t even want to reveal their real identities share “inside information” that ends up being proven wrong time after time, and yet some people continue to hang on every word. False prophets have convinced vast hordes of sheeple that their “prophecies” about political events would come to pass, but once again this election has shown that they are complete frauds.
One of the good things that will come out of this period of time is that people will start to see the frauds for who they really are.
So many of the “pillow prophets” have been promising peace and prosperity, but the truth is that we are in the end times described in the Bible. We are heading into one of the most difficult times in all of human history, but it will also be one of the greatest times in all of human history because God is going to be at work in amazing ways.
And God has a plan for you too.
God specifically placed you at this point in human history, and He has a purpose for doing that.
But if you keep running away from Him, you will never discover that purpose.
The plans that God has for you are greater than anything that you could ever come up with on your own, but He also has given you free will.
You can choose to keep going your own way, and you can choose to reject Him forever if you want.
But why would you want to do that?
God created you, and He loves you so much that He sent His Son to die on the cross for your sins. This is what John 3:16 says…
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
You can have everlasting life if you are willing to enter into a relationship with God.
The Bible compares it to a marriage relationship, and it truly is a very serious commitment to make. If you will repent of your sins and surrender everything to God, you will literally become a member of God’s family. Every one of your sins will be washed away, you will be “born again”, and you will belong to God forever.
If you would like to give your life to God and make that commitment right now, all you have to do is to tell Him. The following is a prayer that many have found helpful…
“Lord Jesus, I want to become a Christian. I know that I am a sinner, and I thank You for dying on the cross for my sins. I believe that you are the Son of God and that you rose from the dead. I repent of my sins and I open the door of my life and ask You to be my Savior and Lord. I commit my life to You. Thank You for forgiving all of my sins and giving me eternal life. Take control of my life and make me the kind of person that You want me to be. I will live my life for You. Amen.”
Of course praying that prayer and being “born again” is just the first step on a very long journey. Developing your relationship with God is a process that lasts a lifetime, and you will need encouragement and assistance along the way.
It will be important to reach out to other believers so that they can help and guide you.
If you have read this entire article and you have decided that you don’t want to give your life to Jesus, I would very strongly encourage you to reconsider.
Ultimately, I don’t know how anyone is going to make it through what is ahead without God.
2020 was bad, but the times that are coming will be even worse.
Everything that can be shaken will be shaken, and Jesus is coming back.
So quit putting all of your passion and energy into politics, and start focusing on what really matters.
If the Insurrection act and martial law buys us another term, it would be nice if Trump unilaterally banned abortion and terminated gay marriage as illegal laws passed by the SCOTUS. Let's see if the Congress makes it legal again after all this time. I'll bet if they had to worry about what the voters thought it wouldn't happen.
Trump could make Martial Law last for 3 months or so until he gets all the coup players arrested for treason and do other things to stop things like cities protecting illegals could be cleaned out. Their drivers license and addresses plus the school records could round up the parents. Voter roles could be purged. All the protection of criminals would be downloaded into the Federal government. That's just one example of what could be accomplished before giving back the country to the civilians.
Amen, amen and amen!
Our ONLY hope is JESUS https://www.thereishopeinjesus.com/
That is the wisest thing I have heard for a long time. Praise his glorious name forever and ever.
but as we accept Jesus as the answer we see how far we have fallen, the birds of the field don’t sow or real for food yet God provides( not direct quote)..man knows nothing of God, thats why we have boxed ourselves in so badly, our fears rule us
And our religions are wanting in God’s eyes...he is restoring the path before our eyes, birth pains..
Yep, only hope, thanks for the post..
There are far more prophecies dealing with the end times that are being fulfilled now, and more that are now capable of being filled thanks to technology, than ever were before in man’s history.
And how are you so sure it’s NOT the end times?
You could always present your case you know, instead of being so authoritative bout something you can’t be sure about anyways.
Maybe Cboldt is with out the Spirit from God(natural person), or a christian who has never grown.
Therefor not knowing of or studying eschatology in prayer, considering that the bible is at least one third prophecy.
They expect things to go on as usual forever. And once the church is gone, who will inform them otherwise?(if a natural person)
1 Corinthians 2 New American Standard Bible (NASB)
10 For to us God revealed them through the Spirit; for the Spirit searches all things, even the depths of God.
11 For who among people knows the thoughts of a person except the spirit of the person that is in him? So also the thoughts of God no one knows, except the Spirit of God.
12 Now we have not received the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, so that we may know the things freely given to us by God.
13 We also speak these things, not in words taught by human wisdom, but in those taught by the Spirit, combining spiritual thoughts with spiritual words.
14 But a natural person does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually discerned.
15 But the one who is spiritual discerns all things, yet he himself is discerned by no one.
16 For who has known the mind of the Lord, that he will instruct Him? But we have the mind of Christ.
Since the plandemic, having more time on my hands, I love using these posts kind of like a bible study.
Between you, Roman war criminal and many others here, Thank you for time and great responses.
Time is short, soon God will tear open the sky and say My will be done.
Maranatha! The grace of the Lord Jesus be with you.
I'm not. I was expressing my opinion and my uncertainty.
-- You could always present your case you know, instead of being so authoritative bout something you can't be sure about anyways. --
I'n not very good at expressing myself. Plus I'm lazy. Easier to lurk. or work!
until Israel became a nation we couldn’t begin this era before the 7 year tribulation period as it would be hard to sign a 7 year peace &prosperity covenant if they didn’t return as a nation. Yes, it is different this time.
The Bible has many things to say about their return and the conditions the ups would find in the land. Also talks of how they would return, revive the land and become prosperous. Hated by their neighbors, but strong militarily. These are specifics, not vague quatrains.
Worthy of a little personal investigation imho. This is a fraction. There’s some Interesting books on subject written by Herb Rogers.
[until Israel became a nation we couldn’t begin this era before the 7 year Tribulation period as it would be hard to sign a 7 year peace & prosperity covenant if they didn’t return as a nation.]
Correct
AMEN!!!!!!!
