I miss the 70’s. When men were men, women were women and the Russians were the bad guys. Now men are women, women are men and the Russians are the good guys. I can handle the Russian part, but not the rest.
Thanks largely to Free Republic, I see evidence that America is turning back to the Bible and I think 2017 will be the year that islam and the scourge of its equally evil twin, atheism, are eradicated from our land. The Founders built this nation upon the Eternal Word of God and that Guiding Principle must be restored to truly make America great again!
This reminder never fails to make me smile. This is good stuff.
The Freedom of Religion and the right to worship (or not) in accordance with the dictates of your conscience is probably the most important right we have as Americans. I would say it is more important than the Right to Bear Arms.
The right to practice and live out are religious convictions is under threat by the left and the perverse elements of our society. If we don’t all “hang together” we will most certainly be “hung together” by those that hate us.
I'm contrite when I admit I haven't always been supportive and kind to my fellow conservatives.
Thank you Jim!
It’s getting harder and harder for me to be optimistic about our nation. I still have hope for individuals to come to Christ and have him make a difference in their life. For the nation as a whole, however, I think we’ve crossed the line of no return. There IS that line. Israel before the Babylonian captivity after the nation split and Israel rejecting her Messiah at his coming. Of course there are many other examples in God’s Word of both individuals and nations reaching that place.
America is enshrining evil in her laws now. That is a very big deal. If that can’t be turned around, and soon, I have no hope for our nation. I don’t see a political solution (like a Cruz presidency, as much as I hope for it) to what is a moral/spiritual problem. I know there are many godly people across our nation that fast and pray, that try to vote for men and women of character for public office. There just seems to be less of them. A recent Pew Research poll would indicate that it is, in fact, true.
We are at a desperate time and the near future does not look bright. Those that stand for righteousness are cultural enemies to the dominate culture and I believe that will remain in the future. We are called to be faithful to Christ regardless of the cost. Actually, the scriptures teach that it is indeed an honor to suffer for His name. I don’t think saving our country should be our main focus (don’t flame me folks, I’m not saying everyone is doing that) but our focus should be on being faithful witnesses to the Lord Jesus in an increasingly hostile environment.
We are going to have to become the Church like never before - where real spiritual discernment will be a key survival skill and with our focus becoming more singular. If our country repents and makes a U-turn or if godly individuals once again occupy places of authority in government and culture, I will rejoice with all of you. The likelihood of that happening is extremely small. If it happened, it would most likely be a short pause on the way down. Of course, I would like a “pause”, especially for my grandkids. But we have to be realistic as to the signs of the time. Islam is God’s judgement on our Judeo/Christian backslidden Western world. Our mission remains unchanged, we are to preach the Gospel of the Kingdom - as I think we can say with some certainty that we may very well be at the beginning of the End of the Age - where evil increases exponentially with no abatement. I’m not trying to be depressive but an accurate assessment of our times and predicament is important if we are to redeem the times.
Blessings to all who hold the faith with a pure conscience and who long for and love His appearing.
Indeed.
Much as politics sucks and is evil incarnate, we should try to remember that it is not of God. Our Lord had nothing to do with the evils of caesar.
I’m optimistic. Things are good when you step back from our poisonous political culture.
Thank you for posting this, and for providing a place where the rest of us can discuss what’s truly important (as opposed to a bunch of mainstream media nonsense).
I have said to some before that if a 1st century Pharisee was running for office today we would vote for him. For you can be a conservative and no be Christian, though you cannot be a Christian and not be a conservative.
For you cannot divorce doctrinal beliefs and commitment thereto from moral values from contentions for them, and the stronger the former then the stronger the contentions for the latter.
However, you can hardly expect them to not contend against what they see as errors of faith even while they both contend against immoral and unAmerican values.
And to disallow that would be inconsistent with American values. It is more harmful to allow them to judiciously post on their faith and allow for debate while they both contend for other conservative values, or to censor such? It seems forbidding that, or to favor one side over the other would result in lesser numbers of committed souls on FR.
Yet when you have a group which wants to use your FR as a news and promotional site for an elitist church, while demanding you to silence all who challenge its claims and who post on the predominate historical faith of America, then such is neither proChristian nor proAmerican.
Respectfully, daniel, in your backyard by God's grace.

Would it be out of line for me to encourage my fellow FReepers to DVR the football game and get their behinds out of the easy chair and go to church?
If so, please delete this post.
If not, it's about time y'all set the DVR to record the football game and get your behinds out of the easy chair and go to church.
