Don't get me wrong. I am very grateful, very grateful, that Donald Trump is our President when considering the alternative of Hillary Clinton. God only knows where our country would be at this point had she been elected or stolen the election. That said, I am sitting here with the TV on listening to Donald Trump address a crowd in Ohio as he continues to run campaign rallies across the country. He just uttered something to the effect that America has never been stronger, and my spirit shuttered inside. The truth is, from a spiritual perspective, I'm not sure America has ever been weaker, more rebellious, and more deserving of God's righteous judgment. Yet, because the economy seems to be doing pretty well at the moment and unemployment is down (both of which are good things), people are deluded into thinking everything is fine. It is not folks. And I suspect most who spend time on this site understand that reality. We are 22 trillion (with a T) in debt as a nation. Debt is the sign of God's spiritual curse, not His blessing. And this house of cards could collapse in a moment once the Restrainer is removed. I long to be done with this world and safely hidden away at Abba's house with our Savior. Forgive us, O Lord, for we have forgotten You and gone after other gods that fail to deliver on their promise to satisfy our hungry souls. In wrath, Lord God, remember mercy. Maranatha!!! Well said. Indeed money can't save this nation or any nation. Truly for those that have eyes to see and the lips to speak the truth, we are in sad shape. Our sins have already judged and convicted us! We are simply awaiting the Lord's sentencing. What the Lord calls strength and honor is sorely lacking today more than ever. All of our hearts ache for our nation and it's sins. Let us not get confused or deceived! We can't spend too much time throwing our own pity party, it's time for truth! Jesus is coming to judge the quick and the dead! For those alive the sentence is the wrath of God. Time is nearly behind us. God's heart is still for reconciliation and redemption. Today is the day for salvation! Today is the day to make a decision. The choice to receive Christ or reject Christ comes before all men! Time will not allow this choice to be forestalled or put off any longer! This is the truth that we need to speak, for such time as this! TR The country has declined as the leadership has declined. If we had about 16 more years with Trump (or similar leadership) in office we might begin to back paddle out of the mess we are in. Hopefully that won't happen though - 'cause we'll be GONE!! :yahoo: :flyup: :yahoo: Just a note about the state of the country - I just saw an article talking about the way people are treating the police. That is a very true example of where the country is at. Respect is at an all time low. I'm sure there were instances of that kind of behavior before but the recent outbreak of such disrespect is a perfect reflection of Obama's legacy. Stronger than it's ever been? Surely it is not! That only works if you limit American history to the past decade or so, and then only from an economic perspective. That statement should be followed by one of those rapidly spoke disclaimers you get at the end of radio spots for legal purposes, saying that this product does not cure warts, bad breath, ingrown toenails, dandruff, (insert about 50 other unpleasant things, all spoken like an auctioneer). But yes, compared to what we had before, it's a little better. In a word, lawlessness. I would say he's referring to the overall state of things regarding what he is has been left to repair, turn around and improve from the last and previous administrations; the military being bolstered up where they had been being torn down, the many back to work where unemployment was enormous, freedom of religion under him where it had been being squelched, backing law enforcement where many were being killed like some slot machine game, expressing his love of all nationalities vs. tearing the nation down through purposeful destruction of race relations, coming against abortion where it had been being a forced acceptance, and these are only a small mention of all that President Trump is dealing with in this Nation. If you remove all the unwanted problematic issue's coming against him from every side of hell, that America never used to have to deal with, I would say his cause is as he said, to restore our Country as best he is able from all those entities attempting to destroy it. I believe he is God-sent, that nothing is perfect, but that he is being used by the Lord for His purposes while we are still here. For that I am grateful. Given that the world is so troubled in these end times, Dan and I :heart: the good things President Trump is accomplishing. :flyup: :flyup: :flyup: :flyup: Trump seems to me to be an avenue of God's grace towards this nation. Truly, however soon the Church is lifted up we can expect all hell to break loose upon the Earth. That said, God's restraining hand is still upon this nation for now! For this we are grateful. Because we have blessed Him more than other nations, He has blessed us. But I am reminded in my heart that God's priorities are with the spiritual realm, first and foremost. Let us all endure until the end by continuing to praise and give Him thanks! TR
