Many of us would like to “save” America. We like the idea of freedom; freedom to benefit from our labor, own our property, make our own way. In short, we believe we have certain inalienable rights which are: control of our life, the liberty to say the truth, and the freedom to pursue happiness. These things were possible when God was God. The United States has decided that its government is God and that all benefits are derived from servitude to the state. The Bible tells us that the fool has said in his heart there is no God. One thing I’ve noticed is even the most ardent atheist is quite comfortable being subservient to the state. We’re told to choose this day whom we will serve. This implies that we will be of service to a god. We cannot have two masters. We will serve one and hate the one that we reject. The fool serves the state; the wise serve the God of the Bible. Those who serve the state are continually trying to find a “good” man (or whatever it is these days) to lead the nation into Utopia. Everyone is looking for a good politician to “save” them and their creed. I’m a political atheist. I do not believe that sinners are capable of electing good men. I believe that if the Lord doesn’t build the nation, they who build it labor in vain. The promises of God are eternal; the promises of politicians are good till they are elected. The promise of God is to bless you. The promise of the politician is the same. The difference is that God isn’t running for office. He doesn’t need you to like Him, believe Him, or trust Him. The politician needs all of that from their constituents so they throw out a few bones to keep them voting right. So men keep believing the broken promise of hope and change and turn their back on the only one who can save them, Jesus Christ. “For there is no other name given among men by which you must be saved.”

Living in Phoenix is an eye-opener to just how degraded our society has become. There are murders, robbery, assaults and all the other crimes just like the small city I left in the north except much more of it. But one crime is so disturbing it makes me believe we are on the verge of a collapse of civilization. It is the leaving of small children in a locked car in the hot Arizona sun. If the child is lucky, someone notices and calls the police. Most of the time the parent or fill-in-the-blank says they forgot their child was in the car. Really? They forgot? What kind of misfits are becoming parents these days. My wife and I never “forgot” our child in the car. How do you forget your child? Maybe it’s because they’ve been taught they’re nothing but animals; they just evolved into the piece of crap they are. They won’t answer to God; why, He doesn’t exist; so they think. Sometimes I understand the flood of Noah. Sometimes I think judgment is sooner than I think. Actually it’s overdue.

The left are becoming totally unhinged which equates to dangerous. They’re all upset and on the verge of killing the dentist who killed an old lion. I understand lions are endangered but this old boy was at deaths door. I submit the people so passionately consumed with this story are cowards and with out compassion. Think of the babies butchered in the sordid act of abortion and then having there usable “parts” sold for research. Or how about the thousands of children that will die today from malnutrition and disease. These loud-mouthed obnoxious cowards raise not a dime or a hand to fight human trafficking. Leftists are a cold-hearted bunch and annoyed that anyone would dare voice opposition to them. They are wicked; they enjoy their wickedness and they want everyone else to ignore their evil behavior. I won’t. I’ll call a spade a spade. I call evil for what it is: evil.

Love is defined in first Corinthians 13 and characterizes how God deals with His creation. I like to think of love as the action of doing the right thing. We have to refer to God for knowing the right thing although according to Romans it is woven into the fabric of our minds and we are without excuse if we don’t do the right thing. Reading scripture daily should galvanize our resolve to do the unselfish and right thing. As an example, the ten commandments tell us to honor our father and mother. We all know that some mothers and fathers aren’t worth honoring. But we are told to do it and in doing so we honor the role of a parent. Just because a parent was a louse doesn’t give us license to abandon the idea that parenting is important. The family should be protected from the assault of naysayers who want to justify the elimination of the parenting authority. They would have it turned over to the state. I’m not sure the nuclear family will withstand the destruction of moral foundations which the progressives have thrust upon society. It is way past time that “good” people stood up for what is right and loving and stop bowing to the whims and waywardness of the leftist.

I’ve been a subscriber to EWR for three plus years. He offers a historical view of current events and I believe you would benefit greatly from his insight. As a Christian I see what’s unfolding differently but he is very well read and his advise is most valuable. He changed my thinking on several fronts because I was biased out of ignorance. This being the age of deception I want to make sure I’m not one of those deceived. I encourage you to subscribe.
