Absurdity

 

Time to open some eyes!

The left has decided to forcefully resist the newly elected Trump administration at all cost. Democrat mayors and governors are determined to “Trump proof” their jurisdictions, refuse to cooperate with Federal law enforcement, and bluster that Trump will have to go through them first. This is more than irrational; this demonstrates that democrats will blatantly disregard the rule of law. Hollywood personalities evidence an utter lack of reality by rebuking anyone with the audacity to acknowledge the legitimacy of a duly elected President. Mainstream media amplifies the cacophony of criticism to the new administration’s cabinet choices, attempting to persuade their guests and viewers to believe their debunked lies. Democrats in Pennsylvania continue to count invalid votes in direct violation of law, even after the State’s Supreme Court ordered them to stand down, in an effort to save a Senate seat for democrat Bob Casey.

It has never been more readily apparent that democrats intend to undermine our nation by refusing to abide by the rule of law, the thread that holds our society together. When the people refuse to obey the law, anarchy ensues. To what end? Not even the most ardent democrat truly believes that Donald Trump is tantamount to Hitler and that he is a threat to democracy. This is simply a gambit by the democrat party to maintain power and rule against the will of the people. This is a strategy to pit citizen against citizen to utilize the divide and conquer philosophy. When the people fight amongst themselves it allows evil an opportunity to inflict damage. After all, Jesus said, “Every kingdom divided against itself is headed for destruction, and no city or house divided against itself will stand.”

Godless democrats revel in the murder of the unborn, attempt to normalize the medical mutilation of children, ignore laws in which they disagree, and oppose the open exchange of ideas, or engage in what is better known as government censorship. That people continue to support a political party that has an agenda to restrict the fundamental rights of the citizens they are charged to represent is absolutely mind boggling. Supporting politicians that deliberately ignore the will of the people and disrespect the God of creation and electing them to an office that allows them authority, greatly displeases the Lord.

Yet, the weak-minded among us continue to ignore reality and engage in all manner of “Trump Derangement Syndrome.” Satan must be so proud! Our enlightened society has fallen so far in such a short time. Now that democrats are no longer in power, it is time to begin a movement to return to the founder’s intention of a Constitutional Republic, based on Judeo-Christian values. Now is the time for good Christians to arise and begin a revival in this nation. Now is the time to plant the seeds of Christ’s love, with our actions and words, to the lost. While the left cancels and demeans their own supporters that voice an opinion other than their established narrative, we need to show them that there is a community that will welcome them and that there is a God that loves them unconditionally.

We are called to use our voice to share the Good News and to use our time, talents, and resources to help build His kingdom on this side of eternity. God desires that all of His children come to know Him. The very least we can do is to offer an open door for them to find Him. We must be ready and equipped to engage in conversation with those who do not know Jesus. Non-judgmental responses to those who are loved by God but do not love Him. Sound direction for those searching for themselves and their identities who are unaware that their pursuit is, in fact, for a relationship with Jesus.

Jesus said, “You will be ever hearing but never understanding; you will be ever seeing but never perceiving. For this people’s heart has become calloused; they hardly hear with their ears, and they have closed their eyes. Otherwise, they might see with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their hearts and turn, and I would heal them.” Matthew 13:14-15

If we fail to plant the seeds of faith in those overcome with the world, we have failed our Lord and Savior and neglected His charge for us to proclaim the Gospel to the world!

 

Vindicated

 

Evil has been repudiated!

Perhaps the people have finally seen through the lies of the evil one. With the election of Donald Trump, begins a rejection of democrat policies that have been leading this nation down the wide path that leads to destruction. The left’s attempt to force feed insane, woke policies failed as they tried to take too big of a bite of the apple, and the people have decided a change in course was necessary. Just as many of our mainline denominations have substituted social justice in place of Jesus, the democrat party has strayed far from God. When the evil one speaks, they listen and incorporate it into their party platform. As evidence of the left’s rejection of God, when someone shouted “Jesus is Lord” at a Harris/Walz campaign event in Wisconsin, Kamala Harris betrayed her true nature when she told him he was at the wrong place. Additionally, she was the first Presidential candidate to skip the Catholic Al Smith dinner in New York in almost 40 years.

We the people have elected a Republican President and majorities in Congress. This new administration brings traditional values that respect the sanctity of life, follow God, value parental rights, uphold the rule of law, and oppose the mutilation of children. With the mandate of the people, they have been given the authority to roll back the immoral policies that have been blindly accepted by far too many. They have the power to end this nation’s wandering in the wilderness, held captive to a leftist ideology that has unduly influenced society. Now comes the hard part; Having the will to heal the divisions and to bring this nation back from the abyss by passing legislation that codifies a return to Judeo/Christian values. Pray for our elected representatives to have the courage to stand strong for the Lord.

Even though those on the left have earned the ire of many Americans and warrant retribution for the evil they have sown, that is not what our Lord and Savior would have us do. Jesus said, “But to those of you who will listen, I say: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you. If someone strikes you on one cheek, turn to him the other also. And if someone takes your cloak, do not withhold your tunic as well. Give to everyone who asks you, and if anyone takes what is yours, do not demand it back. Do to others as you would have them do to you.” Yeah. Loving that neighbor with the pink hair and nose ring that screams that she hates you and any other hateful, homophobic, transphobic Christian that wants to take away her bodily autonomy. Quite the ask you say?

Without forgiveness, there is no reconciliation. Without grace and mercy, there is no way to bridge that divide. Without extending that hand of friendship, there is no opportunity for healing. If God can forgive someone as wholly imperfect as I, we should be able to be the first to try to mend fences. Try it. Harboring a grudge is giving the evil one a foothold in your soul and elicits nothing but negative emotions. It becomes difficult to spew hate at a person who reaches out in love. Instead of being argumentative, try listening and offering non-judgmental instruction. It is easy to build a wall when you believe that you are in the right and you are certain that the other person is wrong. Jesus called us to make disciples of all nations. Do you want to be an impediment to someone searching for themselves when what they need is a right relationship with our Lord and Savior?

God loves all of His children unconditionally and more than we could ever fully understand. Even that crazed leftist college student that you believe lacks any common sense. There are always opportunities to profess your love of Christ to the lost. Reach out with the love of Christ. That is what this nation needs to heal. Policy decisions are in good hands now. Do not fan the flames of division by gloating. Know that God’s hand was present in our nation to give us a chance to right many wrongs and begin a revival in the United States. Will you be the hands and feet of Christ or will you abandon your responsibility to reach the lost to find Him?
