So, it looks like the Russia election controversy that the Democrats and media conjured up against Trump has gone out with a whimper. Why? Because it was proven to be a pack of lies without any merit, but rest easy all you Trump haters, because now the sharks have found a new target and are circling in for the kill on Charlottesville.
I’m old enough to remember the old television series Hee Haw and they used to sing a song written by Buck Owens & Roy Clark. The lyrics were:
“Gloom, despair, and agony on me
Deep, dark depression, excessive misery
If it weren’t for bad luck, I’d have no luck at all
Gloom, despair, and agony on me”
It seems to fit the mood of many in our nation especially at this particular time. A few minutes ago, I was interviewed on Preston Scott’s talk radio show out of Tallahassee to discuss the situation in Charlottesville. He’d read an entry the other day addressing the situation in Words for the Day and agreed with my perspective, and he asked what Christians should do. I had no idea what he would ask me ahead of time and I suppose my answer was clumsy, but I think number one Christians should keep the faith and remember that God is in control. We should tell as many people as possible that God loves all of us regardless of our skin color and He wants us to get along together. After all it was He that created us that way.
In practical terms, I strongly believe the so-called “silent majority” should become the “Roaring Majority”. A recent poll states that 62% of Americans agree with Trump’s comments on Charlottesville that both the neo-Nazis-KKK fringe protestors, and the Antifa socialists/ communist counter-protestors were to blame. Both sides came to the rally armed and ready to rumble.
The Democrats, RINO’s, media and other Trump haters, who are devoid of an issue now that the bogus Russia fake news has disintegrated, conveniently blamed Trump for “not condemning the Nazi/KKK side enough.” This is the most stupid and asinine of comments I’ve heard. I heard him directly denounce the Nazi/KKK bunch. What they don’t like is the fact that he denounced the Antifa group simultaneously.
And now the Trump haters have the easily led, ignorant, non-thinking people believing he supports the KKK and Nazis and endorses their views.
Trump along with an overwhelming majority of Americans thinks it is wrong to attempt to erase history and to tear down monuments, rename streets and colleges, change history books and so on. What will be next” Are they going to blow up Mount Rushmore and change the name of Washington D.C. To Karl Marx City because our first President owned slaves?
Remember this verse: Blessed are they who maintain justice . . . This is what the LORD says: Maintain justice and do what is right?
Become a part of the Roaring Majority today. Write an op-ed. Write and call those cowardly CEO’s, Senators, legislators, editors, media outlets and others to let them know that our history good and bad should not be rewritten. Don’t allow the few to rule the many.
Just keep in mind it is not beyond the realm of possibility that the Bible will be the next thing these gay-marriage-abortion-loving-anti-faith culture people wish to remove from society. Oh yeah, and just maybe they will go after the Christians who believe the Bible . . . What will you do when men dressed in black with helmets and baseball bats show up at your Sunday service and start beating the heck out of the congregation because they didn’t like your pastor’s Bible quoting message?
Will you keep sitting on the sidelines then?
I read this in the Washington blog:
In Scripture there is a constant call to seek justice. Jesus got upset at the Pharisees because they neglected the weightier matters of the law, which He defined as justice and the love of God . . . Isaiah 58 complains about the fact that while the people of God are praying and praying and praying, they are not doing anything about the injustice.
Should Christians just pray for justice and leave the rest to God?
That’s not what the Bible asks us to do. Instead, Hebrews 11:33 tells us that we are God’s hands for dispensing justice, and God uses us to “administer justice.”
We have to “walk our talk” and put our prayers into action.
God demands that we do everything in our power to act as “God’s hands” in bringing justice. And as Saint Augustine reminds us, “Charity is no substitute for justice withheld.”
Please reflect on the following Scripture:
Isaiah 59:15
The Lord looked and was displeased that there was no justice. He saw that there was no one, He was appalled that there was no one to intervene.
Have a great weekend and go to church Sunday!
