Let’s keep using the tired old ‘my friends across the aisle’ method. Or maybe call them my ‘esteemed colleague’. That works really good.
Government by assassination. A new deep state, extralegal murder. Michael Corleone cleans house. Not what I want for my beloved nation. A bad metaphor, so I hope no movie reference was intended.
I suppose we could start using the phrase of the British House of Commons when slamming a member of the opposition: "The right honorable gentleman . . ." LOL.
I would add: "/s".
Yes, 'Jesus can't get here soon enough.' In the meantime:
"Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people. Pray also for me, that whenever I speak, words may be given me so that I will fearlessly make known the mystery of the gospel, for which I am an ambassador in chains. Pray that I may declare it fearlessly, as I should." - Ephesians 6:10-20
Have a blessed Sunday, find your rest and refreshment in the Lord as I'm preaching to myself. - Shalom!
