Foolish or Intentional, the Destruction Is the Same :: By Bill Wilson

Many of us tend to look at events, policies, and politicians as foolish, stupid, mistaken, lacking common sense, etc. But maybe we Americans need to view them as willfully and intentionally destroying the country so that it can be remade into a Marxist utopia. Whether they are bumbling idiots or steely-eyed practitioners of destruction, the results are the same.

It is time to treat them not as fools but as people with both lack of common sense AND intentionally ruining our country and our lives. Let’s call it what it really is and start demanding of our family, friends, neighbors, and elected officials to stand against the dung drama that has become a daily menu of destroying the freedoms that we hold so dear.

Think about it: Democratic presidents and representatives since Jimmy Carter have supported terrorists. It’s a long list—Arafat, the Ayatollahs, Muslim Brotherhood, Taliban, and so on. They have paid them with taxpayer dollars (your money and mine), they armed them, and they stand in the way of anyone who would stop them from these policies. Afghanistan is just the latest example.

Democratic politicians and presidents have opened our border to criminals, drug lords, and human trafficking. Obama’s Fast and Furious gave guns and money to the Mexican drug cartels. Biden is inviting “immigrants” to cross the border without any effort whatsoever to prevent COVID, while he is demanding American businesses mandate a COVID vaccine.

And what about that?

Americans are being badgered to get a vaccine that doesn’t prevent the disease and loses its efficacy after eight months. People who get the vaccine not only can contract COVID, but they can pass it on to others unknowingly. Wouldn’t it be better to embrace those who offer an alternative to the mainstream “science” that may work to prevent or treat this disease rather than ostracizing them?

Let’s rally together and consider every option to fight this pestilence. There’s more. Defund the police and watch crime soar. Allow sexual deviants into school systems to confuse and evangelize children. Create historic debt and raise taxes on everybody while lying to people, saying you are only going to tax the rich.

They label Christian practices as those that lead to domestic terrorism, celebrate Marxist rioters by calling them protesters, and they crack down on gun ownership while arming terrorists with assault weapons. These insane actions are committed not only by fools but by leaders trying to intentionally destroy America.

We need to be before the Lord. Psalm 28:2-4 says, “Hear the voice of my supplications, when I cry unto you, when I lift up my hands toward your holy oracle. Draw me not away with the wicked, and with the workers of iniquity, which speak peace to their neighbors, but mischief is in their hearts. Give them according to their deeds.”

Yes, I cry out to the Lord each day. Foolish or intentional, the destruction is the same. Let’s call it what it is.

No Way Out If You Trust the World :: By Edwin Tan

Back in that pre-digital era, home entertainment devices lacked the sophistication of current-day so-called state-of-the-art appliances. Yet, it struck quite a common cord in many instances. Good would be rewarded while evil was punished. Villains might get their way for a start, but the one who stood for righteousness eventually won. Such was the case in World War Two serials or blockbusters, where America represented the triumphant victors over oppression.

Perhaps there was a morality that inspired this trend. All about playing by set rules and societal norms of the day. Whether directly or in a subtle manner, the Christian ethic was very much a dominant influence. Not just because there were more church attendees but more so the overall sense of sticking closely to the truth. Little was heard as far as deviations mattered. These folks were not in vogue, so they were better off acting as a silent minority!

Ever since prayer was banned in public schools in the early 1960s, the rot was set in motion, although subtly, against a still largely Conservative backdrop. Undoubtedly, it would become an irreversible trend – very much like specks of untreated rust which were ignored, or for that matter, taken for granted.

As the decay permeated through numerous pulpits and pews, there was more than the faintest inkling of what price had to be paid. Tolerance plus giving way to divergent views was deemed as showing love. All at the expense of the Living Word! This unwholesome practice morphed into more than quite the norm as the once silent oddballs grew louder. Apostasy was indeed in full bloom as the old-time religion took the back seat. Cheap thrill, but what would be the cost of so doing?

I first had a good read of Romans 1 when I was in my late forties, which was some time ago. The latter part of this chapter always left an unshakeable mark in my mental lexicon. Especially the words, “God gave them over,” followed by “reprobate mind.” At that point in time, I reasoned to myself that the chances of an encounter with these were very slim. It could happen over my dead body, and it nearly was the case. After a stroke that was accompanied by a couple of heart failures, I survived to see the stark-naked reality in my early sixties. I got a solid grasp of the grim realities when Afghanistan fell to the enemy forces after nearly two decades of ceaseless warfare. I got the real picture when Jan Markell did a radio interview with Jack Hibbs. Plain, scary truth – the world we once knew in free fall!

Some might have heard of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, but I would rather regard it as the Fourth Reich! The Third Reich did not last long because there was no lawlessness like that which we witness today. The carnage was indeed put in check because there was a decent number that abided in the truth. Mankind has inadvertently put themselves in a mess because lawlessness was unchecked but welcomed with open arms!

So this upcoming cabal of wickedness far exceeds the worst totalitarian regimes that ever existed. They can effectively take on any dissent and resistance. They have all of Big Tech on their side. As good as nowhere to run to and nowhere to hide!

So herein is the price so many sheepishly put on their backs by being a bedfellow with the rot. However, there is only one way out. This is where the straight and simple semantic of Romans 6:23 stares at many faces. Let me put it this way: what is earned for the wasted years is death – physically in a short space of time but spiritually forever. So there is only one way out of this – God’s gift of eternal life through His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ. Do this and be spared from the condemnation that is coming for the unbeliever!

Time is running short; do not waste any more time on the decision that determines your eternal destiny.

Yours in Christ

Edwin
