Okay, Maddy....listen up. The depressed among us are so because they're putting their hope in all the wrong things. Stop looking to political party, money, home, job, the next election, 401K, etc. - none of those things are going to matter. There is but ONE HOPE - and that is Jesus Christ, Who alone can save. And here's what He has to say to us: "DO NOT FEAR, ONLY BELIEVE."

Remember, hang on to that TRUTH...it's the only thing that is true in a world that is under the control of the evil one.

If you are trusting in Him, then you know the rest of the story. You would be, like me, the most optimistic person in the world, because you know that NOTHING can separate you from the love of God in Christ Jesus.

You would also know that the strong delusion has been sent - hence, nothing makes sense anymore...and it's going to get worse.

Additionally, you also would know that in these final days He is calling out a people to Himself. Those who have ears to hear...those who will finally hear the voice of the Great Shepherd. That's why He has caused all the things that most put their hope in to fail them. He's taken away any last refuge, so that those who have yet to come to faith will put their hope in Him - the only REFUGE & STRONG TOWER to run to.

Hang on Maddy - the best is yet to come, for He is set to return for His people & take them to a place He has prepared for them...so that where He is, we may be also!

Lots of people who had faith in Jesus Christ have ended up in gas chambers. Jesus never promised anyone anything different. He never promised anything other than eternal life.

When it comes to the future of the COUNTRY, when I am inclined to be gloomy, I remember, and rejoice in the fact that there are more guns than Americans, and that a majority of the U.S. military will not kill American civilians, and will fight that part of the military and police who will.

I hope you don’t use religion as an excuse to be lazy. People who sit around waiting for god to save them are not an asset to this world or the next.

Could you please tell me what the strong delusion was? Thank you.
