John MacArthur gave an excellent sermon on this yesterday that puts things in perspective. In a nutshell, the scriptures teaches that this world is corrupt and under the influence of Satanic influence. There is NOTHING we are going to do to “influence” this world. Politically or otherwise. The only thing we can do is call people out of this world.

Things don't change because the world is corrupt. Thus the “war on poverty” has been going on for over fifty years with no results under Democrats or Republicans administrations because they are all under the influence of Satanic influence. The world says that they want to stamp out poverty but it hasn't. Christ said you will always have poor, and thus it is so. People want to save the planet but we cannot save the planet because it is headed for destruction. Our scientists are trying to convince us there are more than two genders no matter how mindless this is. God said that He made man and woman, period. The world system is against God. On and on and on....

That isn't to say we shouldn't stand up for what is right. It is only saying that we are not going to influence this world politically nor should we be discouraged when things are falling apart. Things are not going to get better. They are only going to get worst. This is what the scriptures teaches.

It sounds discouraging until one get to the end knowing that God will right all wrongs. This is NOT our homeland. And that is what is most reassuring. The church needs to get about their mission of calling people out of this darkness and into His light.

Poverty has been dropping rapidly worldwide

And even in the USA. If you look at the poor in 1972 and compare them to the poor in 2021 there is a startling difference -- the poor of today would be considered lower middle class in 1972.

The Democrats have moved the goalposts to keep having a "poor" votebank. But the poor of today have no food fears, they have transportation, entertainment etc. that a middle-class person in 1972 would only dream of.

"Scientists" aren't doing that. Those are political players. There are two genders - or at the most some with intersex (a tiny minority). The "gender" philosophy is based on non-science.
