Like a Snowball In Summer :: By Dale V. Nobbman

The United States presidential election is coming up on November 5, 2024.

We need to make it a ‘vote heard around the world‘ and defeat the Democrats.

America is greatly hurting and in real peril after four years of weak, misguided, and wicked ways leadership under the current administration.

However, God says,

“If my people who are called by My name humble themselves and pray, and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, forgive their sin, and heal their land” (2 Chronicles 7:14).

It was very refreshing and encouraging to hear so many speakers at the Republican National Convention honor God and Jesus in their speeches, and even quote Bible verses.

Christians, Conservatives, Republicans, and Independents need to unite and cast their votes this November for Donald Trump. President Trump gave credit to “God alone” for saving his life during the assassination attempt on Saturday, July 13, 2024.

“And we know that God works all things together for the good of those who love Him, who are called according to His purpose” (Romans 8:28).

We know not what the future holds for America, but we know who holds the future (God).

“Blessed be the name of God forever and ever, for wisdom and power belong to Him.
He changes the times and seasons; He removes kings and establishes them.
He gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to the discerning” (Daniel 2:20-21).

Cast your vote on November 5, 2024—then let God do the rest—according to His Will.

  • May our Christian foundation as a country never vanish like a snowball in summer!
  • May our ‘City on a Hill’ never be lost from view like a snowball in summer!
  • May patriotic love for our country never evaporate like a snowball in summer!
  • May our love for the Holy Trinity never cease to be like a snowball in summer!
  • May compassion for our fellow Americans never dissolve like a snowball in summer!
  • May evil never prevail in America but vanish like a snowball in summer!
  • May hatred be diminished in America and melt away like a snowball in summer!
  • May corruption disappear from our government like a snowball in summer!
  • May lies and deception pass out of sight like a snowball in summer!

Millions of everyday patriotic Americans still have the God-given ability to change the direction of our nation in a positive way with their humble but oh-so-important vote for Donald Trump on November 5th, 2024. Votes are the common person’s loud voice that speaks volumes in political matters, which greatly matter.

“God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise.
God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong.

He chose the lowly and despised things of the world,
and the things that are not, to nullify the things that are,

So that no one may boast before Him” (1 Corinthians 1:27-29).

There is still time for a popular majority of Americans to change the direction of our country back toward God. The Biblical verses below reveal God’s desire for ALL the people of the world, regardless of political affiliation.

“Wash and cleanse yourselves. Remove your evil deeds from My sight. Stop doing evil!
Learn to do right; seek justice and correct the oppressor.
Defend the fatherless and plead the case of the widow.
‘Come now, let us reason together,’ says the LORD. ‘Though your sins are like scarlet
they will be as white as snow; though they are as red as crimson, they will become like wool’”
(Isaiah 1:16-18).

God’s Miracles :: By Dale V. Nobbman

God has always performed miracles throughout history and right up to the present day. President Trump’s miraculous survival of an assassination attempt is the obvious latest example.

Donald Trump has given “God alone” the credit for his surviving the assassination attempt. Many famous personalities and politicians have publicly stated the same. I’m sure thousands, and hopefully millions of other Americans, have come to the same conclusion that God is still in ultimate control of human events.

I heard a former Secret Service member say that an 18-year-old with a mere .22 caliber rifle could have made an easy kill shot at that short range of 130 yards.

If Trump had not turned his head at just the right angle to look at the graph he was pointing toward at the time the shot was taken, the result of the assassination attempt would have been very different. It is an ‘absolute’ miracle Trump survived; that is what many are saying.

God’s intervening ‘providence’ was at work at the rally in protecting Trump, and that is the only possible answer.

Why do I say that? Well, as a historian, the assassination attempt on Trump reminded me of an incident with George Washington, which I learned about years ago in a ‘Wallbuilders’ booklet by David Barton about America’s Godly Heritage, and also from a Wikipedia internet article about the Battle of Monongahela in 1755. I doubt if you have ever heard about the whole story of the battle and its results. It used to be in school textbooks prior to the 1950’s, but not since at least 1953.

I will provide some pertinent details below about July 9, 1755. If these details pique your interest, you can take a deeper dive into it on multiple internet websites.

The story is about how George Washington’s life hung in the balance for over two hours during the battle and how God intervened to spare his life.

Great Britain and France both claimed the same territory along the Ohio and Mississippi rivers. The French and Indian War took place 20 years before the American Revolution. In 1755, the British and Americans were allies against the French and Native Americans in the area. In July of 1755, the British General Braddock, along with George Washington (a Colonel in the Virginia Militia), about 100 Virginians, and 1,300 experienced British troops marched on the French-held Fort Duquesne (now Pittsburgh). On July 9, 1755, just seven miles from the fort, the British were ambushed as they marched through a wooded ravine by around 300 French troops and Indians.

George Washington wrote in a July 18th letter that General Braddock was mortally wounded and died on July 13. Of the 1,300 British troops, 456 were killed and 422 wounded. Out of 86 British officers, 26 were killed and 37 wounded, and of 50 women serving as cooks and maids, only four survived. The French casualties were only 8 killed and 4 wounded. The Native American French allies lost 15 killed and 12 wounded. At the end of the battle, George Washington was the last officer still on a horse, even though he had multiple horses shot out from under him during the battle.

In the same July 18th letter to his family, Washington wrote that after the battle was over, he had taken off his jacket and found four bullet holes through it, yet not a single bullet had touched him, and he was not harmed. Washington told his family, “By the all-powerful dispensations of Providence, I have been protected beyond all human probability or expectation.”

In 1770, Washington returned to the scene of the battle and met up with an old Indian chief who had participated in the battle. The chief had instructed his braves to single out all the officers and shoot them down. The chief said he had personally shot at Washington seventeen different times, with no effect. Believing Washington to be under the care of the Great Spirit, the chief instructed his braves to cease firing at him.

What an amazing story that very few Americans today know about. Just like the fact that many Americans do not know or believe in America’s Godly heritage. For example, do you know that 52 of the 55 Founding Fathers who worked on the Constitution were members of Orthodox Christian churches, and many of them were evangelical Christians? This is the kind of American history that most leaders in our government and school systems do not want us to know about or be taught about today.

God only knows what purpose He has for the United States of America moving forward, but whatever it is, I know God is in control, and we should all trust in that!
