I have trouble writing as it seems everything is so overwhelmingly depressive. Knowing what God has said would happen in the end may be enlightening but not necessarily of immediate comfort. I pray for strength to endure through it all and to convey the truth to those that are lost. God chose the people of Israel as His people, not because of their goodness but as an example of how good He is to choose us. The story of Israel is a tale of all nations with the populace choosing a man to rule instead of God. Israel chose Saul, strong, tall, good looking, and let’s not forget charming. From that point it was a political roller coaster, some good, but as is our observation, mostly bad. You see men like to be told by another man what to do, what is right and wrong, how money should be spent, etc. In this way they believe they negate their responsibility for the consequences of their poor choices. But culpability is inescapable. The notion that we reap what we sow is not something that crosses our mind. The western world had swallowed this hook, line, and sinker. Politicians are very good at pitting races and social classes against each other. Just imagine if there was no serious strife in the population; politicians would have nothing to propose. So leveling the “playing” field has become the number one tool in their arsenal. And it is played to nauseous levels at every turn. Unfortunately the masses are illiterate when it comes to cause and effect arguments. I find it’s difficult to get anyone interested in the truth. Maybe it’s because what is obvious is too unthinkable. And so it is we’ve given up our desire to think.

It’s time to pay attention to what’s going on in the world and understand the time in which you live. We are on the threshold of the brave new world. Technology is making it possible to do what was unthinkable not long ago. Young people do not know the wisdom of the past and are ready participants in the new world order. The tower of Babel has been rebuilt and men can bring about any evil thing they want. If you desire to know what’s happening may I suggest giving a listen to Alex Jones, Gerald Celente, Jim Rogers, Ron Paul, Paul Washer, or Jonathan Cahn. If not, then let’s spin that wheel, pick the right letter, and watch Vanna expose more of the puzzle.

I’ll make this short and sweet. IRA and 401K accounts are a scam. All you can invest your money in are worthless, low performance mutual funds. Most have two percent or more fees which leaves you with scraps. You “make” money, you pay. You lose money, you pay. And there is some talk these days about confiscating all that wealth to supply the government money so they can extend the shell game. There are better ways, like real estate, to fund your retirement. Don’t get caught up in the government designed scam. When your old you’ll regret it.

Donald Trump is a very successful businessman. He’s been candid about how you must pay off politicians to get anything accomplished. He doesn’t have time for “losers” which is to say the politically correct crowd that learned all their prejudices from the government schools. This isn’t to say that he is the paragon of virtue. But he is unafraid to be open about what he sees as wrong. He’s also not afraid to say that he can and will fix the problem. This is monstrously annoying to the left or anyone in the political culture with an agenda other than making America great again. Can he do it? If elected, would he do it? Who knows. What’s refreshing is his willingness to do something which the rest of the politicians endlessly talk about. On the Apprentice he has shown how he can put unlikely people together and get results. It’s not about cronies or friends. He always tells people how great they are to include Dennis Rodman. But getting the job done isn’t about surrounding yourself with popular people or people you or voters like. You keep people who produce results. That’s the way he works. That’s why he would do well as president. You may not agree with him; you may not like him. But one must admit, he knows how to get something done.

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.”
