Bob Dylan penned a prophetic song of the upheaval in the 60s that has continued unrestrained to this day...

"Come gather 'round people wherever you roam
And admit that the waters around you have grown
Accept it soon, you'll be drenched to the bone
For the times, they are a-changin"

Our brave new United States of America is casting off the chords of our founding Christian love and faith, in favor of an amoral, licentious USA. The only sin in this new order is to apply the Jesus' conditional love to anyone or anything. Example: it is a sin to call homosexuality a sin, but not a sin to practice this dangerous and destructive behavior. It is a sin to call Islam a political/religion of submission, but not a sin to practice this dangerous and destructive religion. Dylan's song continues...

Your old road is rapidly agin'
So get out of the new one if you can't lend your hand
For the times, they are a-changin'

Christians are dangerous, not because we cut heads off or commit mass acts of terror (even though Democrats like Samuel Jackson not-so-secretly desire a white Christian mass shooting), but we are dangerous because we disagree with leaving behind the God and faith that gave us this wonderful nation. Dylan continues...

The line, it is drawn, the curse, it is cast
The slow one now will later be fast
The present now will later be past
The order is rapidly fadin'
And the first one now will later be last
For the times they are a-changin'

In the end, however, the Lord will get the last word. The Word of God stands forever. The plans and artifices of man fail in the end and truth, righteousness, and love always prevail.

Psalms 93: 1 The LORD reigneth, he is clothed with majesty; the LORD is clothed with strength, wherewith he hath girded himself: the world also is stablished, that it cannot be moved. 2 Thy throne is established of old: thou art from everlasting. 3 The floods have lifted up, O LORD, the floods have lifted up their voice; the floods lift up their waves. 4 The LORD on high is mightier than the noise of many waters, yea, than the mighty waves of the sea. 5 Thy testimonies are very sure: holiness becometh thine house, O LORD, for ever *.

Now that’s uncool, personally I, being a designated Christian type person, have always considered democrats as no more than an equal threat as muslims. But I am starting to believe that democrats edge out the muslims in the stupid department.

But the surprise is that 18 percent of those who consider themselves very conservatives agree. (Christians bigger threat than Muslims)

They are just the few who believe that Obama is actually a Christian.

2 Tim 4:3-4
For the time will come when men will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear.

Of course they will think so. This country is in a cold war. The left is 10 times the bigger threat than ISIS. I’ll flat out say it. I’m not afraid of anything out of Hamtramck. I’m more afraid what comes out of Ann Arbor.

We are. To them, anyway. The people of Satan will always feel threatened by the people of God. Hopefully with good reason.

As long as Christianity remains apostate, mixing the two evangels together, the one being the Apostle's teaching and doctrine, and that which Paul proclaimed among the nations (Galatians 2:7), believers will always be unstable and untrustworthy to do the work of God. This instability is readily perceived by those who do not believe, and hypocrisy is the red flag that hoists itself high above the discourse.
Those who would follow the Lord's earthly footsteps in practice will find themselves being set up to fail as such a path leads to bondage to the flesh. The attempt to establish the Kingdom of God on earth without the King on the scene ends up being communism and tyranny, as the One able to rule is not present and men cannot rule themselves apart from His presence.
The apostasy of Christendom is great. It is impotent and irrelevant due to their proclaiming and embracing Kingdom Theology. Paul, the Apostle to the nations, and his message for us, the Gentiles, is lost to all but a few. Grace and the Cross of Christ are missing in the message, and they have nothing to offer the world.
