I’m voting for the son of a good preacher.

[Guenevere]

I’m voting for the man who will help lead us out of this wilderness, by God’s grace and mercy.

[Louis Foxwell]

Sounds right to me. Firebrand pastors were also key to opposing slavery.

I’m voting for the man who will help lead us out of this wilderness, by God’s grace and mercy.

Bingo. There is no earthly savior so its better to follow a leader who expects us to work for a better America than to believe a man who promises to give us one.

[Biggirl]

Could God be using both Donald Trump and Sen. Ted Cruz for a reason?

[Huaynero]

“I’m voting for the man who will help lead us out of this wilderness, by God’s grace and mercy.”

By G-d’s grace, mercy and guidance I will HELP such a leader.

[Guenevere]

Doubt we’re talking about the same person

[cripplecreek]

I don’t know. I’m voting for Ted Cruz.

[onona]

I wholeheartedly pray it is so

[Guenevere]

If you believe he could be using these two to ward off America’s last gasp....I’m fully in.

[C. Edmund Wright]

Could God be using both Donald Trump and Sen. Ted Cruz for a reason?

Certainly possible IMO. Now, as to the "how" this is being done and toward what end.....I think there would be several strains of theories on this.

[C. Edmund Wright]

Side note, temp thread jack: what is the deal with spelling G-d instead of God? How do you pronounce it?

[Moorings]

It is better to take refuge in the Lord than to trust in man. It is better to take refuge in the Lord than to trust in princes. --Psalm 118: 8-9

Mr. Giles is so correct. I kept thinking, “I will go to church one more Sunday to see if the minister has the nerve to mention the growing Islamic threat to the world.”

No chance. No mention. Too afraid of losing their tax exemption? Ministers will keep up with their silence regarding our present danger until there is nothing in the collection plate to tax.

They were in the thick of it at Galloping Hill Road.- "Give 'em Watts, boys!"

[GailA]

Our so called PC preachers are to scared of losing that 501C3 they toe the PC line. No End Time Preaching, no preaching against homosexuals, no preaching against abortion.

Just Peace and LOVE and pass the offer plate and put a lot of $$ in it so we can build a new gym for the kids or pay off the mortgage.

Give a man a fish he eats for a day, teach him to fish he eats for a life time.

"We Have No King But King Jesus!"

The men of Marlborough, MA unanimously proclaimed in January 1773 that "Death is more eligible than slavery. A free-born people are not required by the religion of Jesus Christ to submit to tyranny...(we) implore the Ruler above the skies, that He would make bare His arm in defense of His Church and people, and let Israel go."

[trebb]

Doesn’t matter who one blames - our souls are our own concerns and all the good pastors in the world can’t compete with the Evil One on a large-scale basis. All one can do is offer the Word and hope someone accepts the salvation offered by Christ. We love to blame others for our own weaknesses when, if all believers were to actually exert themselves and coalesce into a cooperative force, things could be very different. If we’re not an active part of the solution, as individuals, then we’re and “inactively-active” part of the problem.

[WorkingClassFilth]

Right. On. Big. Time.

More to the point in today’s parlance: Double plus good.

The real problem will be finding men of God that aren’t steeped in apostate slime. The seminaries were targets for the Marxists long, long ago. A generation of draft dodging leftist nitwits have come to maturity and fostered all this filth to the present head of foam.

I’m afraid judgement is all that is left.
