Stars & Stripes Forever, an excellent post, thank you.
AND, a wonderful bio: I hope all readers will look at the Scripture in your bio. These are promises from The One who created the stars...
I’m sorry, but Donald Trump will not save America: only God can deliver us from judgement, which is already upon us.
Read these Scriptures again: we must REPENT, and give our lives to Christ, if we hope to have a chance to escape the punishment of God, which we well deserve.
Invite Him back into our courts, our schools, our media, our government, and our churches. We’ve murdered MILLIONS of innocents... we live like pagans, loving our idols and our wickedness.
“Please King of Kings, give us another chance... in the name of Jesus Christ, Messiah, Lord, thank You Father, Amen.”
That’s pretty slighting of His promise, if all we hope is a “chance” of “escaping His punishment.”
Those who hope in the “promise” of “gaining eternal reward” will see it richly. The former set is really being selfish.
I’m sorry too, but the good Lord can use the political as a medium for signs about things that are beyond the political. In that sense, yes Trump can be part of a salvation plan.
For the good Lord sees with a wisdom that transcends the immediate.
We might tend to think that if one egregious sin, or another one, were to be wiped off the scene then suddenly we we would be upon halcyon days.
That is not true, unfortunately. If we blasted away the entire visible tip of an iceberg, immediately more would bob up above the surface.
However if we patiently melted away the iceberg until we saw no more ice, it would be entirely gone, replaced by fresh water.
Our hard hearts are like icebergs. We will not receive love from the Lord, not because the Lord has become fickle, but because we have. It’s easy to point at other people’s sins, especially when they are spectacular; less easy to notice that our own sins have been making other people’s sins easier.
