While I Agree With Steven Andrew That We Need To Repent Before Almighty God, This Is Where I Disagree.

 



While I agree with Steven Andrew that we as a nation need to fall upon our faces before Almighty God and dedicate our lives to faithful obedience to Him in every aspect of our lives and give Him due honor in all that we do, if he was suggesting Christians to sit out an election [1] just because the best of the candidates set before us may not be in as complete agreement with the doctrines, values, and tenets of our faith as much as we would like, then with that I must disagree for it is our Christian calling and duty to do all that we can to minimize evil and maximize righteousness and we do that by engaging all branches and every aspect of our culture, including the political process because if we refuse to engage the culture, which includes the political process, then we can never hope to influence the society and our respective culture for Christ as we otherwise might and if we are not willing to choose between the lesser of two evils when faced with such a choice, then we will always end up with a worse evil; an evil empowered and maximized instead of an evil that is minimized.
 
Trump may not be as pro-life as many of us would like him to be, but I would rather have someone in office who is opposed to late term abortion and is at least willing to allow the states to decide for themselves on how to approach the abortion issue than to have someone in office who supports unmitigated abortion at any stage of the pregnancy for any reason and imposes their will upon the states.
 
And even if Trump is not the Christian he would have us believe that he is, he at least respects our God-given rights to worship God as we see fit, to live in accordance to the standards, laws, precepts, instructions, and counsel He has set forth and in accordance to the dictates of our own conscience, and to freely preach the Gospel and teach the Word of God without fear of civic reprisal which is why I’d rather have him as our commander in chief, than someone whose animosity towards our faith is so severe that they would do all in their power to eliminate it from society which brings be to Andrew’s accusation against Trump claiming that he called Jesus and His follower a religion of hate, based upon a post he published regarding an endorsement he received from the American Hindu Coalition Georgia Chapter:
 
 
 
American Hindu Coalition Georgia Chapter: “The Make America Great Again movement has always been characterized by the principles of strength through unity and by welcoming Americans from all walks of life, regardless of their ethnic, cultural, or religious backgrounds…There is no place for hate or division in our pursuit of Making America Great Again. We will continue to move forward together, standing united in our goal to build a strong, secure, and prosperous America for all of our citizens – and we will never be deterred by those who seek to sow discord among us or divide from within.” [2]
 
 
 
We can all agree hateful and divisive attitudes such as misogyny, misandry, chauvinism, racism, and anti-Semitism should have no place in any political party or movement and definitely should have no place within the MAGA movement which has overall shown itself to be a well-intended, respectable, and honorable movement in comparison to the likes of Occupy Wall Street, Antifa, BLM, the LGBT, or the #Me Too movements; all of which are undeniably evil, corrupt, perverse, hateful, and divisive by pitting women against men, non-white against white, and young against old, and Gentile against Jew.
 
But Trump does not specifically accuse Christians of bringing hate and discord into the MAGA movement and for someone who has contempt for Jesus and His followers, Trump seems very sympathetic to the faith.  On X, Marla Maples shares a clip of moments when Trump appeals to the power and authority of Christ and in that clip Trump states:
 
 

Jesus wants to be Lord of your life. [3]
 
I said there’s only one person who can do it all the way and you know who that is? Jesus Christ. [4]
 
And above all else we know this:  In America, we don’t worship government, we worship God. [5]
 
You know, you can do all you want, but you know, you still need help from The Boss [6]
 
Somebody said to me… “you’re the most famous person in the world by far,” and I said, “No I’m not, no I’m not,” and they said “Yes you are,”…he said, “Who’s more famous?” And I said, “Jesus Christ.” [7]
 
 
 
And again, in remarks Trump delivered at Dallas Baptist Church, he stated:
 
 
 
Our country needs a savior right now. And our country has a savior. And it’s not me. It’s somebody much higher up than me. Much higher…
 
The life and death and resurrection of Jesus Christ forever changed the world. And it’s impossible to think of the life of our own country without the influence of His example and of His teachings. Our miraculous founding, overcoming civil war, abolishing slavery, defeating communism and fascism, reaching boundless heights of science and discovery, so many incredible things
 
None of this could have ever happened without Jesus Christ and His followers and His Church. None of it. And we have to remember that Jesus Christ is the ultimate source of our strength and of our hope and here and everywhere and for all time. [8]
 
 
 
And at the RNC, Trump had credited God for saving his life [9] and even later added that when he was pushed to the ground, that it wasn’t the secret service agents who were solely responsible for pushing him to the ground for his protection.  He stated that he actually felt a supernatural hand push him to the ground before the secret agents even covered him [10] and stated in an interview with Elon Musk that the failed attempt on his life made him into more of a believer in God, than he had ever been before. [11]
 
Trump also stated in an interview with Lex Fridman:
 
 
 
I think our country’s missing a lot of religion. I think it really was a much better place with religion. It was almost a guide. To a certain extent it was a guide. You want to be good to people. Without religion there are no guardrails. I’d love to see us get back to religion, more religion in this country. [12]
 
 
 
And at the National Faith Summit, Trump told Paula White:
 
 
 
 
If you take a look at the anger, the problems that we have, and a lot of it is that it’s less based on religion now than it was 25 years ago and 50 years ago… I mean, we were a really, people would say, a Christian and really religious — even other faiths — country… And that seems to be heading in the wrong direction. And I think as that goes down, I think that our country goes down. I really do… I think this is a country that needs religion. It’s like the glue that holds it together, and we don’t … have that. [13]
 
 
 
Going on to tell people of faith, including Christians by the way, “you’re the most important people and I’m not sure you even realize it.” [14]
 
So, Pastor Andrew, did you just notice what this man, whom you claim hates Christians, just said about people like you and I? He said that we are the most important people in our nation! We, who are followers of Jesus Christ.  And you say that he HATES US!? FAR FROM IT, it would seem.  And for those of you out there who are interested, I have a link to the full National Faith Summit in the end note section of this post so all of you can see the people with whom Trump surrounds himself; [15] I would say he surrounds himself with Christians more often than he does with people of any other faith.
 
Contrast that to how Kamala Harris responded to two pro-life Christians who had infiltrated one of their rallies.  When they proclaimed that “Jesus is Lord” she told them that they were at the wrong rally [16] and then shortly afterwards, two professing Christians were escorted out of their own church when they demanded that Kamala Harris, who was invited by their Pastor to speak there, why Jesus and Christians do not belong at her rallies. [17]
 
Trump is only beginning to understand something that most others, including most professing conservatives and Christians, and even many within the MAGA movement by the way, don’t understand, and that is we do not have a:
 
Political corruption problem, a national security problem, an economic problem, a fiscal problem, a news reporting problem, an academic/indoctrination problem, an entertainment content problem, an electoral integrity problem, a crime problem, a polarization problem, a racial problem, a sexist problem, an abortion problem, an LGBT problem, a promiscuity problem, a narcotics problem, a sex problem, a pedophilia problem, a suicide problem, a divorce problem, or a domestic violence problem, or a sex-trafficking problem, and what I mean by that is not that these problems that I mentioned are not manifested problems that we hear about and are even affected by, but what I am saying that all of these aforementioned problems are but the manifested symptoms of an unseen root cause that needs to be just as equally addressed and confronted as we do all the manifested symptomatic problems that are the result of it and that cause from which all the manifested evils are produced is not political, academic, economic, or even social.
 
It is a spiritual problem and for those of you who still do not understand or comprehend what I am trying to say, I’ll introduce you to someone who might be able to explain things more clearly and I have posted links to some of his videos in the end notes section of this post. [18, 19]
 
And the spiritual crisis that is affecting our nation is not confined to just the left.  It has also affected the ranks of the right as well as has been made evident by the closing invocation given at the RNC by Harmeet Dhillon who offered up a Sikh prayer unto a God which she claims to be the same God worshipped by the Christians, Jews, and Muslims, [20]  but upon a reading of the Sikh sacred text, which is called the Shri Guru Granth Sahib, [21] it could be argued at best, the Sikhs possess a clouded understanding of our God as their perception of Him is heavily influenced by Hindu doctrine, and like Steven Andrew, I too was disheartened to find that this was indeed the case. 
 
In her invocation Dhillon had called upon the name of Waheguru which led to heavy criticism by Christians against her and against the RNC for allowing her to give that invocation, as it is not a name by which God is called in either Judaism, Christianity, or even Islam.  In their eyes, it is the name of a god unknown to those of us who follow the Lord God Almighty who made the heavens and the earth
 
But Dhillon defended the prayer by stating that Waheguru was simply a name for the Almighty God, which thing, upon the researching of Sikh commentators and apologists appears to be true on the surface, but upon further study of what the name “Waheguru” represents, there is something very disturbing about this name they give Him in that the name they give Him, in summary, means to be both spiritually dark and at the same time an eliminator of spiritual darkness, thus making God out to have a duel-nature (being both a God of darkness and a God of light, and a God that is both evil and good) [22] whereas the God we worship is a God only of light and not of the darkness and He is only good and never evil.
 
Also upon my researching of the Sikh scriptures, it turns out that Harmeet Dhillon may not have been entirely honest about all that her faith entails as it does not appear that Sikhs pray exclusively to this One God, as they also appear, in their praises to this God, to call upon the name of Guru Nanak, the founder of their religion whom their text makes out to be a deified Guru, and furthermore, attaches the names of Hindu deities to the God Dhillon claims to be the same as that of the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob while at other times making them out to be separate lesser deities to the One True God, though these lesser deities are not necessarily worshipped nor called upon in the sacred text of the Sikhs, yet it appears that the Sikh faith teaches that God is both one with these lesser beings and at the same time separate from them thereby in essence teaching, at least to a certain extent, what is called panentheism, which teaches the God is both one with and separate from His creation; [23] not to be confused with pantheism which teaches that God is everything and everything is God; thereby rendering it as being nothing more than a mystical form of atheism.
 
But the God of Judaism, the Christian faith, and even that of Islam is a God who is not one with His creation but separate and distinct from it, but it only goes to show that spiritual deception is NOT confined to the anti-Christ party nor to the godless and even Satanic left, but it is also sadly present within the MAGA movement and within the GOP; but I am not suggesting that people of non-Christian faiths and beliefs should ever be cast out of MAGA or out of the GOP, for the RNC is not limited to just one religion and has never pretended to be, but rather, we who follow Christ ought to pray for their conversion and that the disillusionment that those who have joined with the GOP and MAGA have had with the anti-Christ party and their policies will lead them to becoming receptive to the Gospel message of our Lord and Savior and that they will one day turn away from their sins and from their false religions and embrace the one true religion of Jesus Christ that they may escape the horrible and unimaginable perdition of never-ending torment.
 
Under Trump, the MAGA movement has done well in achieving a political unity.  Let us pray that the political unity that is achieved will be followed by a spiritual unity that unites all people under one God, one Jesus, one Gospel of salvation, one faith, one doctrine, and one baptism, and for those of you out there who are dismayed, disheartened, and disappointed that a Sikh was allowed to offer up prayers to a strange god, take heart that the invocation of the Sikh was not the only prayer offered up, as there were other prayers offered up at the RNC that were predominantly Judeo-Christian. [24-27]
 
But if we are to drive Satan out of the RNC and out of all political parties altogether, we must first drive him out of our sanctuaries; out of our homes, churches, places of learning, our private sector, our media, and our entertainment industry.  Only then, can we drive him out of our government as well, and if we are to have revival, then there must first be a reformation within the body of Christ, for we cannot hope to be effective instruments of revival or of any Great Spiritual Awakening, if we do not first drive out the cowardice, complacency, apathy, and laziness from our own ranks, and purge ourselves of the sins, false doctrines, and spiritual deceits that have been tolerated, affirmed, and even celebrated and one thing we ought to consider is whether or not certain events that have taken place between 2022 and today had to do with certain decisions that Trump made.  First, Steven Andrew claims that the much anticipated 2022 mid-term “red wave” was ended because Trump endorsed Mehemet Oz instead of Kathy Barnett, [28] and let us assume that this was the case and that this was a chastening from the Lord because of that endorsement and if that is indeed the case, it is not just the fault of Trump alone, but the fault of the people (both Christian and non-Christian) for choosing Oz over Barnett.  It needs to be noted, however, that the GOP managed to retake control of the House by a slim margin by the way (an act of God’s mercy.)
 
Granted that this election is over and I thank God that Trump is back in the White House, but there will still be other elections to come, including another mid-term election in the next two years, and, unless some extenuating circumstances should occur, we will have another presidential election which makes what I am about to say every bit as relevant today as it was during this entire presidential election cycle.
 
When it comes to choosing our candidates at any and all levels and branches of government, not only should it never be based on their personality or even their good looks, nor should those choices be based on who endorses them but it should always be about the platform on which they are running and for those of us who follow Christ, how closely that platform aligns with the dictates of our faith; that does not mean that the platform of the best candidate will always align as perfectly as we might prefer, but we need to try to vote in every candidate that we can find whose policy platform aligns with our biblical values the best and at every level and branch of government that we can.  God does not expect us cast a “perfect” vote, but He does expect us to cast the votes that come as close to a God-pleasing vote as we can each election cycle and there will be times when we will be forced to choose between a lesser of two evils, but if we think that we can escape the judgment of God that may very well come upon our nation by disengaging from the culture and from the political arena, I fear that we will be sadly mistaken because if we are not out actively going about the business of God and attempting to influence every aspect of our culture and society for the Lord who redeemed us, then the judgment may fall upon us as well and even every bit as severely as upon the unbelieving world, but if we will busy ourselves in going about the business of God and if we will but actively attempt to influence the culture, and that includes the political arena, for Christ, and try to persuade as many as can be persuaded to come to repentance in Christ Jesus, only then, might we hope to be spared from any coming judgment to come.
 
Andrew goes on to claim that when Trump softened his stance on abortion, that it caused the GOP House momentum to greatly end [29] but the GOP House experienced a rebound and actually polled even better than Trump on the national level; [30] (guess someone’s been doing something right lately) and not only that, the GOP managed to retain control of the House and even retake the Senate. 

And finally, Andrew claims that after Harmeet Dhillon was allowed by the RNC to deliver an invocation, that foreign gangs began invading the country, that the economy fell into decline, that the illegal alien situation in Springfield OH worsened, and that foreigners started receiving US money. [31]  Well, the migrant crisis in Springfield OH, did worsen, but illegal aliens, including foreign gang, were invading the US before then and US money was already going to foreigners well before the 2024 RNC convention ever took place, and the economy fell into decline as soon as Joe Biden took office but if both MAGA and the anti-Christ party are to face judgment, I would assume that the judgment of God will fall more severely on the anti-Christ party than it will upon MAGA.
 
Granted that Trump has assumed the presidency once more and while there are things that he and a MAGA/GOP legislature can do to make things better in this nation, they are not going to be able to save us from everything that happens.  Sure, there are things they can do to mitigate the illegal alien crisis, enable economic recovery and national self-sufficiency, reduce our national debt (I’d like to see him eliminate it altogether) strengthen national security, appoint Constitutionalist-minded judges to court positions at every level, minimize government corruption, and even prevent the misuse of our tax-dollars, and uphold our God-given freedoms, but what they cannot do is stop the spiritual and moral decline of our nation which caused not only a decline in our nation, but is also bringing us dangerously close to facing a divine chastening at best, or judgment at worst.  Now, assuming that Trump is a genuine follower of Christ, can he invite and call upon the people of the nation to turn away from their sins and in sincere humility earnestly seek out the God who is Maker of Heaven and earth, turn to Him, and submit themselves to His authority? Yes he can, as any of us who know our God all can, but that is all he can do.  And whether or not we all answer that call from Trump or anyone for that matter is a choice that we all have to make ourselves and the spiritual and moral choices we make now will determine whether or not judgment may come swiftly, or be delayed even by years and decades to come.
 
The only thing that WILL save us from the judgment of God will be NATIONAL REPENTANCE, but that begins with you and I.  It DOES NOT begin with Donald Trump or any other dynamic political figure or even with any given political movement.  It DOES NOT begin with any renown Pastor or evangelist, nor with any person of influence, nor with any prolific writer or blogger.  It begins with each and every one of us on an individual basis.  And it is not just a mere change in our outward behavior or outward lifestyle.  It begins from within and the reason why repentance must first begin from within rather than just be a mere change in outward behavior and conduct is because there is something within each and every one of us that must be changed because the current state of our inward nature is not as God intended it to be because when God made man, man was of a different nature than he is today.  He was not created to be evil or corrupt.  He, like the rest of creation was created to be good and not just outwardly good, but also inwardly good and when God created the heavens and the earth, the universe was a much different place than it is today. There was no death, no evil, no grief, no sorrow, no pain, no misery, and no suffering of any sort; just peace, contentment, love, and joy and a perfect harmony between God, man, and nature.
 
When God had created man, nothing was withheld from him except for one thing and that was the fruit of a certain tree called the tree of the knowledge of good and evil having been warned that in the day that they ate the fruit thereof, they would surely die. (Gen. 2:16-17, 3:3)
 
A choice was set before mankind not just in the form of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, but also in the form of the tree of life (Gen. 2:9) which would have enabled mankind to live forever; (Gen. 3:22) a choice between life and death.  But sadly, Adam the first man, and Eve the first woman who was Adam’s wife, did not heed the warning but ate of that forbidden fruit and it was in that day that sin entered into them which, as a consequence, brought upon them the sentence of death (Gen. 3:19) and eventually, they did die but that sentence of death did not stop with them.  the sin which entered into them and brought about their eventual deaths, was also passed down to all of mankind for all of us are descendants of that first man and that first woman and because we are their descendants, we have also inherited the sin that entered into them (Rom. 5:12) and because of that sin which we have inherited, we all sin in some form or fashion and as a consequence we all die for as it is written, the wages of sin is death (Rom. 6:23) but sin is not merely confined to outward behavior or performance or even the words we speak, but it is rather the inherent inward corruption of our very nature defiling our thoughts, hardening and darkening our hearts, and corrupting our very motives which is why it is written that we are not defiled from that which comes from without, but that which comes from within (Mt. 15:11, 17-20) and which is why it is written that all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God (Rom. 3:23) which demands of us nothing less than moral perfection and not just in our outward acts but also in our inward as well which is why it is impossible by our own efforts and our own goodness to enter into the Kingdom of Heaven, for sin taints, corrupts, defiles, twists, and distorts more than we can comprehend and the effects of sin are not merely confined to mankind, but all of creation is subjected to a curse because of sin which is why it is written that the entire creation groans and travails in pain to this day. (Rom. 8:19-22) and worst of all, because we are born into sin, we are also born estranged from our Creator for that which is in sin cannot be allowed into His presence or into His Kingdom that which is sinful lest Heaven itself be defiled just as the earth has been defiled and a day is coming when sin will reach its full measure and will have to face eventual judgment and that includes all who remain in their sin and they who remain in their sins have nothing to look forward to but a terrifying and everlasting punishment in the never-ending torments and darkness of Hell but there is good news.  And the good news is, is that though the Lord God Almighty be holy and perfect and though He be a God who must, in His holiness, goodness, and righteousness, eventually punish all evil and all wickedness, He is also a God of unmeasurable love and mercy who is not willing that any should perish in their sins and face eternal damnation, but that all would come to repentance, and therefore has done for us what we could never do for ourselves in that He, in His graciousness has purchased redemption on our behalf in Christ Jesus, His only begotten Son, (Jn. 3:16) who came to us in the flesh, (Jn. 1:14) and being without any sin (2 Cor. 5:21, Heb. 4:15) was made that perfect sacrifice (Heb. 7:26-27) that was needed to take away the sins of the world and because of His perfect goodness, He was able to offer Himself up on our behalf to satisfy the demanded penalty for all sin and granting mercy and grace through the shedding of His blood on the cross and after having died, rose again from the dead three days later that we might be justified in Him (Rom. 4:25) if we will but call upon His name so that we might be saved from what would otherwise be a terrifying everlasting punishment if we will but call upon His name (Rom. 10:9, 13) and believe in our hearts that God raised Him from the dead (Rom. 10:9) for it is by calling upon His name in sincere repentance that salvation is granted and our souls made clean from sin thereby liberating us from the threat of eternal damnation and with that cleansing comes a new spiritual transformation (2 Cor. 5:17) that causes us to no longer desire to follow after selfish and worldly pursuits but after those things that pertain to the Kingdom of Heaven,
to no longer take pleasure in those things that are evil and displeasing in the sight of the Lord, but in that which is good, right, and pleasing in His sight,
to no longer desire to walk in the lies of this present world, but only in the truth that comes from Christ Almighty, (Jn. 14:6) no longer placing our hopes in the things of this present world, but looking forward to that new and better world to come, (Rev. 21-22)
to no longer rely on worldly resources, men, or even our own power, abilities, skills, and wisdom for our needs and provision but upon God who is able to meet all of our needs, (Mt. 6:33) recognizing that the resources of this world and even the people He brings into our lives are but instruments and vessels through which God meets our needs and that the skills, power, knowledge, and wisdom by which we might acquire our provision are provided and instilled in us by God,
to no longer fear what men can do to us, but rather fearing the God before whom we will have to one day give an account for how we lived our lives, (Mt. 10:28)
to no longer look to corruptible institutions within our society for direction and order in our lives but to God who, by His written Word has given us laws and precepts to be applied to our lives and which serve to produce and maintain an ordered life, and who, by His Holy Spirit which comes to dwell within us upon repentance, establishes in our lives a course and direction in our lives to pursue for His glory,
to no longer seek our own glory but the glory of God,
to no longer rally behind corruptible men, but instead behind the incorruptible God in Heaven bearing in mind that those men and women God raises up for our edification are but instruments and servants of His for that respective purpose to which He has called them,
to no longer seek to align ourselves with the things of darkness but only with the things of the light,
to no longer trust in the wisdom of the world but only on the wisdom and knowledge that comes from above, (Jas. 1:5) nor depend on corruptible earthly authorities to swiftly administer justice, but only in the power of God to deliver us from evil.
 
And it is this new inward transformation that reconciles us to our Creator (2 Cor. 5:18) from whom we had once been estranged and just as our souls are cleansed from sin and our spirits regenerated in Christ Jesus thereby liberating us from the eternal tormenting punishment that must come upon all who remain in their sins and it is this very change, if received by enough people, that potentially can bring about a change for the better in entire households in the manner of how they are run and maintained, and from there, the nature and condition of entire neighborhoods, communities, states/provinces, and entire nations, which then will have an impact and an affect upon the course of the culture and society; how education is taught, how businesses and corporations are operated, how news is reported, the quality and nature of entertainment that is produced, and finally how politics and civic governance are conducted.
 
But if we are to ever have any hope of seeing that much desired Great Awakening, we who are in Christ, have to do more than just pray for it to happen; we have to be actively about the business of the God who made us, which is the affairs pertaining to the Kingdom of Heaven but in order for us to be effective representatives of the Kingdom of God, there is a much needed reformation that needs to take place within the Church and within all professing followers of Christ because before that Great Awakening can ever affect the culture beyond the four walls of the Church building and beyond the regular gatherings of the saints, it has to first take place within the Church and it must be a Great Awakening and reformation that returns the Church and all professing followers of the Lord to the following:
 
 
The authority of scripture by which the message and doctrine of our faith is delivered and full reliance thereupon.
Reliance upon the sufficiency of scripture.
A commitment to a regular reading and study of scripture and not just during the weekly church services or Bible studies, but making time for it every day as often as it is possible if even only for just a few minutes a day.
Taking time to talk to God in prayer daily and not just during worship service; and again, even if only for a few minutes.
Meeting regularly with like-minded followers of Christ for the worship of Christ and for the study of and instruction in His Word.
Active involvement in a fellowship of believers.
Vigilantly upholding and applying the teachings, instruction, and doctrines of scripture within each respective fellowship which also includes holding members accountable for their behavior, way of living, conduct, and what they preach and propagate.
Dedicating ourselves to the service of Christ in accordance to each respective calling given to each and every one of us.
Being always willing and ready to call the lost to repentance whenever opportunity arises regardless of what response may be received.
Being prepared to give an answer for the faith and the hope that is within us and to earnestly contend for the faith as often as required of us.
Resolving to be obedient to God above man and to fear Him above man, and to stand up for righteousness and against the things of wickedness and all things displeasing to God, knowing that it is before Him that all men will have to stand and give an account for all that has been said and done in this life and that every thought, motive, and attitude of the heart will also be taken into account no matter what may be done to us or what we might be threatened with on account of the name of Christ, trusting that the reward that await us will outweigh any sacrifice we may be called and challenged to make on behalf of His name.
 
 
When that reformation happens, then that Great Awakening that revives re-vitalizes, and re-energizes the Church as a whole for Christ and the things pertaining to God, will then begin to impact the unchurched and unregenerated world and when that happens, we will begin to see God invited back into our schools and included in our public activities.  We may then see prayer and Bible reading brought back into the classroom.
 
We will no longer fear lawsuits filed against public displays of manger scenes at Christmas time nor of crosses designed to commemorate the life and sacrifice of a fallen soldier.  Churches and Christian owned businesses will no longer be told to surrender their values and affirm that which they know to be evil in the sight of God and no longer will we see tax-payer funded money used to empower wickedness.
 
That which is evil will no longer be called a disorder but instead will be called out for what it is and we will stop “normalizing” bad behavior and once again begin embracing foundational moral bedrock truths.  No longer will the minds of children and young adults be poisoned against their nation nor against the very truths and principles upon which this nation was founded and no longer will teachers and school officials seek to undermine parental influence and authority in the home but rather parental influence and authority over their children will once again be respected.  Integrity will once again be restored to the halls of academia and our institutions of education and learning.  Honesty will once again return to how news is reported.  The private sector at every level and within every branch will begin to have regard for the welfare of their employees and no longer exploit them, employees will be the best that they can be for their employers by putting in as honest of a day’s work as they possibly can, and businesses and corporations will conduct honest dealings with their consumers and no longer cheat nor defraud them.  The entertainment industry will once again begin to produce entertainment in every branch, genre, and department that no longer mocks, ridicules, nor vilifies that which is godly and wholesome but will instead affirm and celebrate that which is good, right, pure, holy, sacred, and honorable.  And finally, our civic institutions will begin to look not after their own interests but after the general welfare and interests of the public.
 
It is such a Great Awakening that will save the country from the judgment that might otherwise come upon it for once again, God has promised, that “If that nation, against whom I have pronounced, turn from their evil, I will repent of the evil that I thought to do unto them.” (Jer. 18:8)
 
In other words, judgment need not ever have to be.  All it takes for any nation to escape judgment and eventual destruction is if it call upon the Lord God Almighty for the forgiveness of sins and turns away from the wicked ways that it had embraced.
 
Because the Lord God is a God of love and mercy, He does not take pleasure in punishment and judgment and will bear patiently with persons, peoples, nations, and even empires persuading as many as can and will be persuaded to repentance, but when the wickedness and sin of any nation, kingdom, empire, community, or people has reached a certain measure, judgment will come and it must come when all other remedies are exhausted because God cannot nor will not allow evil to prevail forever.  In His Holiness and righteousness, God must eventually eliminate evil from off the face of the earth and that includes the elimination of all who remain in their sins and in an unrepentant state.
 
If you have not done so already and want to be sure that you will be able to escape the judgment that is inevitably to come upon the face of the earth and want to be assured that when life on earth ends that you will not be shut out of the Kingdom of Heaven and cast into an eternity of unrelenting torment, but will be admitted into the Kingdom of God, then I urge you reader to, in sincere faith, and with a repentant heart, call upon the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of sins.  It is but a sincere prayer of repentance away:
 
 
 
"Lord Jesus I need you.
 
 
I realize that I am a sinner
who has fallen short of the glory of God
and that my goodness falls short
of your standard of Moral perfection.
 
Please forgive me of all of my sins.
Come into my heart and into my life
to be the Savior and Lord of my life.
Make me into the servant and follower
that you want me to be.
In your name Lord Jesus, I pray.
 
 
Amen."
 
 
Know that God is not concerned with the words that you use to call upon Him forgiveness, but with the attitude of your heart and if you have, with all sincerity, have asked Christ to forgive you of your sins, placing your trust in Him only for your salvation and in nothing else, then your sins are forgiven and your place in Heaven is certain.
