As I watched the events of this past week unold, after the second failed assassination attempt on former President Trump, I began wondering what this country has become and how we got here.
Then, yesterday morning, a friend posted on Facebook the fact that 28% of Democrats want former President Donald J Trump to be assassinated.
And, a realization hit me.
We have come a long way from the after-hours meetings in the White House with President Reagan and Tip O’Niell, during which they had their political discussions and shared a drink afterward.
This country is split like never before.
The Democrats, in their zeal for political power, may prove to be the catalyst that brings about the end of our Constitutional Republic.
The “democracy” which they claim that Trump is a threat to is not the Democracy of a Republic but the democracy of a mob.
A mob, filled with hate and arrogance, who wants to turn our Constitutional Republic into a totalitarian regime where you can be punished for saying something that the ruling political party does not like.
How did we get here?
It’s because of the political programming of our school children for the past few decades and the fact that political ideology has replaced Christianity.
I’m serious about this.
We are a country in which a lot of “Useful Idiots” seem to believe more in relative morality and situational ethics than they do in the Faith of our Founding Fathers.
The Hollywood Aristocracy, including those in the music business, openly worship Satan by wearing upside down crosses and the Goathead form of Satan known as Baphomet.
And. they do it proudly.
The upcoming presidential election is going to be the most important one in the history of our Constitutional Republic.
If those who are secretly running the governmental works of our country under the cover of darkness, while acting as the puppet masters of those who are presently occupying the White House, are allowed to continue their march toward turning America into a totalitarian regime, our country’s days as a Republic are numbered.
Americans will not only lose their Constitutional Rights, they will lose the ability to provide for their families as well.
While I believe that unless America returns to the Faith of Our Fathers that America faces a long uphill battle, I also believe that there is a reason that the forces I referred to above have tried to eliminate the Republican Candidate for President twice already.
Donald J Trump is our best mortal chance to retain our Constitutional Republic and remain a Sovereign Nation.
“In a line that may once again stir reaction in more traditional Catholic quarters, Pope Francis on Friday wrapped up a three-day visit to Singapore, a country with large pockets of at least five different faiths, that “all religions are a path to God.”
“They are like different languages in order to arrive at God, but God is God for all,” the pope said, who had set aside his prepared text and spoke largely off the cuff. “Since God is God for all, then we are all children of God.”
The pontiff made his remarks during a interreligious meeting with young people held at a Catholic junior college, just prior to departing Singapore for his return flight to Rome.” (Courtesy cruznow.com)
When the leader of the Catholic Church said this, the ears of Christians all over the world perked up. I know mine certainly did. You see, in Sunday School, Christians are taught (at least they used to be taught) that the Bible is the Living Word of God.
That being said, I can remember one of the first verses that I was taught was the following…
6Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.” – John 14:6
Now, I may be slow, but shouldn’t the leader of the largest Christian denomination in the world be following the teachings of the Son of God?
This current Pope has been known to take positions that are less than biblically-based in the past. So, this is nothing new.
However, what the Pontiff said struck me as being the main reason that the civilized world is beginning to crumble around us.
Both Europe and America are in danger of losing their entire cultures to an influx of migrants from other countries and other faiths.
While the Bible tells us to love one another as God has first loved us, it did not say to accept and adopt things that were not of the Christian faith whether they be be sexual practices or other religions.
All paths do not lead to the God of Abraham.
“THE BODY OF MUHAMMAD lies enshrined behind gold mesh and black curtains at the Mosque of the Prophet in Medina, Saudi Arabia. The remains of Confucius are buried in a cemetery in Qufu, Shandong Province, China. And, after Buddha’s body was cremated, his relics were placed in various monuments, like the Temple of the Tooth in Sri Lanka, where his followers may visit his “right tooth relic.”
In sharp contrast, there is little to show for Jesus’ burial place. Like hotels whose claim to fame is that an important person once slept there, two different sites in Jerusalem claim to be the place Jesus’ body lay during the three days before His resurrection. But Jesus had no need of a permanent tomb; He needed only to borrow one for a few days. The angel set the record straight: “He is not here; He is risen.” (Courtesy weslyan.org)
Have you ever wondered why those who look at traditional American faith and values as passe are attacking average Americans as being Christian Nationalists?
It’s because they know that Americans have a Heritage of Faith, which began with the Christian faith of our Founding Fathers.
It’s as simple and profound as that.
America was not built on shifting sands. Our Sovereign Nation was built on The Solid Rock.
As long as you come in here legally and pledge to be a good American citizen, Christian Americans will gladly help you become a part of the American Fabric.
However, a house divided against itself can not stand.
In order for America to survive, we must return to the faith of our Founding Fathers.
And, as far as Pope Francis is concerned, just like each one of us, he will have to answer to a Sovereign God….the One he is supposed to be serving.
Last Supper, one of the most famous artworks in the world, painted by Leonardo da Vinci probably between 1495 and 1498 for the Dominican monastery Santa Maria delle Grazie in Milan.
As of 2023, Christians number 2.4 billion on this terrestrial ball.
What happened at the opening of the 2024 Paris Olympics was not only blasphemous, it was evil.
For the past decade, America has been battling against the same sexual deviency and perversion against people who claim to be the smartest people in the world while championing debauchery.
All the great civilizations in the history of the world that have crumbled from within, like the Roman Empire and ancient Greeks, fell apart because of an embracing of relative morality and situational ethics.
What happened to them is not only being witnessed in our country but in Europe as well, as was televised by a clueless Olympic committee.
With all the upheaval in Eastern Europe and the Middle East which led to an Western migration of Muslims, Europe has seen their own invasion and their culture sublimated to almost the point of nonexistence by the faith of Islam.
What was it that kept Europe a Christian continent for all those centuries?
It wasn’t fear.
It wasn’t going along to get along.
It was faith. It was the belief in the Father, Son, and the Holy Ghost.
And now, thanks to those who believe themselves to be their own gods, Europeans find themselves being run over by the followers of Muhammad.
The reason for their demise is the fact that they have forsworn the faith of their fathers.
Sound familiar?
The pundits tell us that America is slightly over 50% Christian.
I have a difficult time believing that to be true simply because being a Christian does not necessarily mean that you are presently participating and attending a church on a Sunday morning.
People worship in their homes and read their Bibles in their homes and have withdrawn from congregations for various reasons.
I am not championing that in any way, as we are supposed to keep ourselves in the company of believers.
Like the rest of the world, America is in the middle of a war between princes and principalities.
What we all witnessed in the opening of the Olympic Games was Satan showing off.
The devil wants us to believe that he is winning.
It may seem so right now.
However, those of us who have read the Bible know how all this ends.
It won’t go well for all those who were laughing at Christianity around the world on Friday night unless they seek forgiveness and repent.
However, that is difficult to do for people who believe they know everything.
“As I said earlier this week, I stand before you only by the grace of Almighty God. That’s true. I shouldn’t be here.” – Former President/Republican Presidential Candidate Donald J Trump, Grand Rapids, MI Rally, 7/20/24
He is absolutely right. He shouldn’t.
Last Saturday night, a bullet fired from an AR-15 struck the top of Trump’s right ear, nearly missing entering his brain by a quarter of an inch per Congressional Representative and former White House Doctor Ronny Jackson.
Have you ever experienced God’s grace?
It’s something indescribable and something unexpected.
For those who believe, it is the realization that God cares and is watching over us.
Non-believers usually brush it off as pure dumb luck or a happy coincidence.
What happened to former President Trump can only be explained by the grace of God.
It has been interesting to watch the news people and pundits at MSNBC and CNN try to explain what happened last Saturday night by claiming that it was shards of glass instead of an assassin’s bullet, and brushing off Trump’s near death experience as nothing of the sort, simply a minor injury.
What happened can not be scientifically explained, not even if you make the science up like Fauci and the rest of the Democrat “experts” did with the regulations during the COVID-19 pandemic.
If you carry the presumption that this was an act of God’s grace, then that means that God has a plan for President Donald J Trump, just as he does with all of us.
I can hear the political experts on social media screaming now about how God could use Donald J Trump with all his faults and brash behavior?
Even though they will tell you that they have, it is quite evident that those who railed against Donald J Trump and the idea of God using him have never read the bible.
Throughout God’s Word, there are instances of him using imperfect men to fulfill his perfect plans.
King David is an example that easily comes to mind. However, he was not the only one.
The thing is, the God of Abraham has used imperfect men throughout history.
He has used them in the history of our own country.
America was founded by imperfect men and women who valued religious freedom and the rights of the individual, including the right to worship Our Creator as they saw fit.
Former President Donald J Trump and his Vice-President pick, J.D. Vance, are not perfect.
There was only one Perfect Man, and He gave His life as “the expiation for our sins, and not for ours only but also for the sins of the whole world”. (1 John 2:2)
I have a good friend who keeps reminding me that politicians are not the ones who will save America. God is in control.
I believe that this past week has been a reminder to those who are willing to pay attention.
24 “Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. 25 The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock. 26 But everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand. 27 The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell with a great crash.” Matthew 7:24-7
By now, you all probably know that Harrison Butker of the Kansas City Chiefs gave a commencement speech to Benedictine College Graduates.
In his speech, he talked about traditional American values along with things such as morality, ethics, and the Biblical and traditional roles of men and women, and their importance to American society.
And, Far Left Democrats lost their minds.
Why?
It was the way that my generation was raised. You know, the generation that the younger generation is derisively calling “Boomers”.
There’s a reason that those on the Left of the Political Spectrum are reacting so negatively to the speech made by Harrison Butker.
It was against everything that they base their current political ideology on.
Things which they have tried so hard to label as divisive, misogynistic, old-fashioned, and culturally “ignorant.”
Butker bravely spoke out about a lot of things that those young graduates needed to hear.
Things that are more important than culturally-driven platitudes and politically-inspired notions of right and wrong.
He spoke of the things that really matter.
Things which involve honor, courage, and most importantly, reverence toward the One Who Made Us.
America was founded by men and women of faith who left their home countries so that they could worship freely without restrictions and without the government coming down on them with an iron fist.
As we have been witnessing in the last few decades, America has been moving away from our initial beliefs as a country.
That is why we are beginning to circle down the old porcelain receptacle.
We have allowed weak men of questionable morals and situational ethics to dictate to us how we should live our lives instead of listening to the God of Abraham.
Butker caught a lot of heat because he spoke about the importance of women in the home.
And, he spoke out against the killing of the unborn in the womb.
Of course, the Far Left did not like that at all.
Nowhere in the speech did he say that women shouldn’t work. He just said, and rightly so, if they are a wife and a mother, after God, their next priority should be their family.
That goes for husbands as well. A house is a building. A family built upon the Solid Rock makes it a home.
America began to erode when the government decided that it could do a better job of raising children than the Traditional Family Unit could.
In order for America to prosper, traditional families should be championed, not torn asunder.
God meant for men and women to work together and lead children in the way in which they should go.
Without that foundation, it is very hard for young people to strive toward individual achievement.
Harrison Butker should be commended and appreciated for speaking the truth to the graduates of Benedictine College.
I believe that most Americans appreciate what Harrison Butker did. From what is being reported, his football jerseys are selling through the roof to both men and women.
It will be interesting to watch and see if this will signal the beginning of a cultural movement back toward Traditional American Faith and Values, which I believe that the silent majority of Americans still hold dear.
12 Now the Lord said to Abram, “Go from your country and your kindred and your father’s house to the land that I will show you. 2 And I will make of you a great nation, and I will bless you and make your name great, so that you will be a blessing. 3 I will bless those who bless you, and him who dishonors you I will curse, and in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.”
All of my adult life I have watched with stunned incredulity, as Liberal Americans have vocally castigated the country of Israel for defending themselves against the violent factions of once-nomadic tribes, who wish for nothing else than the annihilation of both the country of Israel and their citizenry.
The irony of their naiveté, is the fact that, in the 1960’s, American Liberals were among some of Israel’s strongest supporters.
However, as of this writing, they have led a surge of anti-semitism and are backing the Palestinians and the Terrorist Organization known as Hamas, which the overwhelming majority of the Palestinians voted into office.
Opposing God’s Chosen People and supporting the historically nomadic people that call themselves “Palestinians” fits with today’s Far Left Democrats’ Political Ideology, which views modern political struggles as “Class Warfare”, being waged between race and ethnic groups. They believe that the predominantly white West is somehow subjugating the non-white rest of the world. This viewpoint is an extension of the class-based, rich versus poor, categories, which they intentionally classify people in, following the example of their fallen messiah, Former President Barack Hussein Obama (mm mmm mmmm) and the professional spokespeople and agitators who have been allowed in this country under the guise of diversity.
We sit in a country that has been split wide open by this polarizing political ideology, which ignores the principles, traditions, and values, both religious and secular, that America was founded on.
America was founded by Christian men and women. Don’t let anyone tell you differently.
Our first President, George Washington, would reflect on the blessings which the Creator had bestowed upon this country in his speeches, as has every president after him until very recently.
For this current president to stand with radical Islamic terrorists who slaughtered 1,300 innocent Israelis is not only disgusting, it’s abhorrent.
This should not be happening here in the country that was once known as the Shining City Upon a Hill.
America has been tarnished with evil politicians who think only of power, money, and prestige.
We also have an issue with the younger generation who were not raised in the way in which they should go.
As I’ve said before, they are a bunch of useful idiots who the Far Left and professional agitators from other countries are using to “radically change” our Sovereign Nation.
And now, the President of the United States of America, in his senile old age, is standing with them because his handlers have told them that he needs their support in order to be reelected, so that they can further their plans to build a totalitarian government which will only increase their power and their time in office in Washington, DC.
The Republicans in the House of Representatives are working on impeaching Biden over withholding weapons from our greatest ally, israel.
This will not work because the Democrats and the Vichy Republicans will not vote to move it forward.
The only way that we are going to change the downhill trajectory of our Sovereign Nation is to return to the Faith of our Founding Fathers and to change who is the president of our country.
This morning, as I lay in bed, The Lord had me thinking about Him. These thoughts were about what today, a day that Christians around the world celebrate as the day that Jesus Christ rose victorious from the grave, must have been like.
Pretend for a moment, that you are an average citizen living at the time of Christ…
[For the past three years, you have seen this charismatic young man speak about the love and mercy of God, and how His Grace and Forgiveness is freely given, IF…
And, there’s the catch…
According to this carpenter’s son from Nazareth, you have to confess your sins, and ask the Great I am, for forgiveness.
Whoa! Wait a minute. Who is this guy? A radical? Ask Yahweh for forgiveness?
And, what’s that he said? You will then have a personal relationship with His Father?
How can that be? This is the Great I am. This is the Deity of Vengeance who destroyed those escaped slaves from Egypt for throwing a party, while Moses was up on a mountain, and building and worshiping a Golden Calf.
And, remember what happened to King Nebuchadnezzar? Daniel interpreted a dream for him, explaining that his kingdom would be ruled over by Gentiles until God sent His King. Ol’ Nebby got mad, because he couldn’t rule over the Israelites and over the whole world unless God allowed him to do so. He forgot that, and became very proud. He tried to make the people think that he was very wonderful, and that they should worship him. He didn’t trust God as some of the kings of the Israelites did, but had the very foolish idea that he could be a wise and wonderful king without any help from God.
So, what do you suppose occurred?
Why, the King had another dream, and when he found out what it meant it was really terrible. In this dream God told him that he would lose his mind and would go out in the field and eat grass just like the cattle for seven years. And Nebuchadnezzar actually did this, too. Can you imagine a mighty king, as he thought himself to be, crawling around on the ground eating grass? The Bible tells us that his hair grew long and coarse and looked like bird feathers, and his fingernails became like the claws of animals.
Finally, though, Nebuchadnezzar’s reason returned to him, and when he found out what he had done he was very much ashamed of himself.
However, he learned by this experience that he was not as wise and powerful as he had thought. Learning this, he gave praise to God for allowing him to be the ruler.
This is the God that some carpenter’s son from Nazareth has been telling us that we can have a personal relationship with?
Strange indeed.
Finally, one of His disciples betrayed Him and gave Him up to the Romans, who crucified Him.
I noticed that while He was hanging there the guards and some of the townspeople there were mocking Jesus, telling Him that if He was the Son of God, to ”jump down off of that cross”. Meanwhile, some of the centurions were casting lots over His robe.
All except this one centurion, who was just watching Him, as if he was waiting for something to happen…]
And, then came the Glorious Morning… [Wow. It’s really been amazing around here since they crucified Jesus. Did you feel that earthquake? The veil of the temple was torn in half! And did you hear? A bunch of people that had died years ago, were seen walking around the city! But that’s not all. Don’t tell me you haven’t heard?
Listen to this: He has risen! He arose from the dead and was seen by several people. It’s true! I know it sounds unbelievable. I can scarcely take it in myself. Mary Magdalene and Mary, James and Salome’s mother, went to the tomb to perform the anointing of His body and it wasn’t there! On top of that, there was this young guy there, dressed in a white robe. They said he must have been 9 feet tall. He said, “You are seeking Jesus of Nazareth. Why do you seek the living among the dead? He is not here. See the place where you laid him.” So they went and told the disciples. But you know how Peter is. He just had to go run up there and see for himself.
Jesus even approached two of them on the road to Emmaus. They didn’t recognize him. He even broke bread with them that night. They realized who He was and He disappeared! They ran to tell the disciples and as they were telling them, Jesus appeared right in front of them! They were all starting to panic. Jesus said, “Peace to you.” But they couldn’t believe it was him, especially Thomas. So he had him touch him in the hole in his hand where they drove the nail and where the spear pierced his side.
Jesus ate with them and performed other signs and miracles in front of them and they understood scripture as never before. He also came to them at the Sea of Tiberius. Peter took the disciples fishing and they weren’t catching anything. Jesus told them from the bank to cast the net down on the right side. They did, and they could hardly bring it in the boat! When they got back to land, Jesus already had a fire going and some fish and bread ready to eat. He asked Peter three times if he loved Him, and each time He told him “Feed my sheep’. Hey, isn’t that the same number of times Peter Denied Him?
Anyway, He taught them many things before He left. They watched as He was taken straight up into heaven. Can you imagine?
The disciples are making plans now to go out and starting spreading the Good News about Jesus’ Resurrection. They are talking about going out in pairs. Man. Nothing is ever going to be the same again.]
The despair being felt by the average citizens of Rome, at the time, is not unlike the situation which we, as average Americans, find ourselves in today.
We, too, are still struggling in the darkness before the dawn.
Our American Culture has been crumbling before our very eyes, as sin, depravity, and personal irresponsibility have been lauded by “the smartest people in the room” as normal, and values to be embraced…a Golden Calf to be worshiped by those who have turned their backs of the Almighty, because He will not give them the worldly gratification they seek…and because they erroneously believe that they are smarter than God, and can interpret and ignore God’s Holy Word in order to ignore and to rewrite to make it mean whatever they want to, in order to assuage their own consciousness, in an attempt to stifle that “Still Small Voice” within them, Who is reminding them of their sin and the consequences of it.
For the past several years, our Sovereign Nation and the rest of the world have been fighting enemies foreign and domestic, even within our own government, along with a Chinese Coronavirus, a combination of challenges which have claimed thousands of deaths in our country and the loss of jobs for millions of Americans.
Today, as we watch an out-of-control Congress and Administration attempt to take away our American Freedom, we all need to remember the words of President Ronald Reagan:
We are never defeated unless we give up on God.
Fellow Americans….my message to you on this Resurrection Day 2023 is
DO NOT GIVE UP ON GOD. DO NOT GIVE UP ON THE FOUNDING FATHERS’ HOPE, WHICH BECAME AMERICA.
As the old country Preacher’s wife always told him when she took away his plate after supper,
Hold on to your fork, Hon. Dessert is on it’s way.
The final chapter of the amazing story of our Blessed Land has not been written yet. It is up to each and every one of us to write it, strengthened by the Grace of God.
Until He Comes,

“For God so loved the word, that he gave his only begotten son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” – John
“A recent poll reportedly found that a large percentage of registered voters believe that Jesus Christ physically rose from the dead.
The news comes as Easter approaches.
The Daily Signal, citing a Scott Rasmussen National Survey poll, reported Thursday that almost 70 percent of registered voters believe in Jesus’ bodily resurrection, while over 70 percent say they will be celebrating Easter on Sunday.
The outlet said the survey was conducted on March 20 and 21 with 1,000 registered voters.
The article also said:
Respondents were asked whether a series of statements were true or false. They were asked to evaluate whether “the man known to history as Jesus Christ actually existed and walked the earth,” or not.
By a margin of 83% to 5%, voters said they believe that Jesus Christ did in fact exist and walked the earth.
The margin of error for the survey was plus or minus 3.1 percentage points, according to Rasmussen.
Meanwhile, a Pew Research Center report said a record high number of Americans say the role of religion in public life is waning and many believe it is a negative thing for people across the nation, according to a Breitbart News article published March 19.
“According to the survey, 57 percent of Americans believe religion plays a positive role in public life, while only 19 percent have a negative view of the role of religion,” Breitbart News’s Thomas D. Williams reported.
In 2023, a WSJ/NORC poll found that the happiest people residing in the United States place greater value on religious belief than those who are unhappy in life, per Breitbart News:
The highest correlation for people saying they are “very happy” is belief in God, with 68 percent of this group declaring belief in God to be “very important” to them. By contrast, among those who are not happy, fewer than half (42 percent) say faith in God is very important to them.” (Courtesy Breitbart.com)
So, when is all this Christianity in America going to “fade away” as predicted by “the Smartest People in the Room”?
As the poll in the above article shows…while some have forsworn their Christian Heritage, the majority of Americans still proclaim Jesus Christ as their Personal Savior and believe in God Almighty.
However, if you read some of the comments posted on Conservative Websites and Facebook Political Pages by self-appointed “pundits”, you would think that Christian Americans are the minority in this nation.
I can testify from personal experience, having caught flack for sticking to my Christian American Conservative Principles, since beginning my posts in April of 2010.
My posts, concerning American Christianity, seem to “touch a nerve” in both Liberals and Atheists, alike. (But, in at least some cases, I repeat myself.)
Their reaction has hardly been unexpected.
Of course, one of the Hot Button Issues, which those Liberals and Atheists who responded, over the years, immediately denied, was that our Founding Fathers were Christians and that our country was founded on a Judeo-Christian Belief System.
Evidently, they had never read anything, except what their like-minded, non-believing soothsayers, allowed them to.
Atheist Activists and young and/or misinformed Liberals and self-proclaimed “Libertarians” (but, in a lot of cases, I repeat myself), who reply to my posts, insist that Crosses and other Christian symbols have no place in the Public Square.
Relying on Far Left Ideologues or their own opinion as their “highest authority”, they continue their push to eliminate the practice of American Christianity and the Traditional American Morality and Ethics which go with it from Everyday American Life, attempting to regulate Christians’ role in American Society as remaining unseen and unheard from, worshiping in private, on Sunday mornings, only.
Or, as Actor and Professional Wrestler Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson would say, the Democrat Elite wants American Christians to
“Sit down, shut up, and know your role!”
Unfortunately for them, the First Amendment to the Constitution still holds. “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.”
Far Left Democrats seem to have great difficulty comprehending the role that Our Creator, the God of Abraham, played and plays in this Grand Experiment, known as the United States of America.
Why have Far Left Democrats ratcheted up their anti-Christian Vitriol and Negativity since January 21, 2009?
Why are they so focused on removing America’s Christian Heritage?
Well, as is usually my wont, I have been doing some “reckoning” about this.
It seems to this ol’ Southern Boy, living here in the Heartland, that America’s Christian Heritage and the very real fact of His influence in building and shaping America’s growth into the greatest country on the face of God’s Green Earth, not only stifles and interferes with Modern Liberals’ “anything goes”, “share the wealth”, “hive-mind”, “man is his own god” Political Ideology, but the reality of God’s very existence, somewhere deep in their miserable, bitter psyches, scares the mess out of them.
Why else would they be trying so hard to fight against the influence of Someone Whom they really don’t believe in?
I see them every single day on the television, on the Internet, on Facebook Political Pages, posting stupid meme (a picture with words on it) after stupid meme, attempting to make fun of The Great I Am and those of us who have given our lives to Him.
They are so hateful and filled with such bitterness that it is difficult to engage them in “conversation”.
Perhaps, somewhere in their back of their minds, all of these Modern Far Left Democrats realize that they are fighting a losing battle.
Christianity continues to exist in America despite their best efforts.
For, as the late Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia stated so eloquently, “God has been very good to us America was built upon a Solid Rock. To ignore our nation’s Faith-Based Founding and Heritage is to live in purposeful ignorance.”
As President Ronald Reagan said, “If we ever forget that we are One Nation Under God, then we will be a nation gone under.”
And, as Hebrews 13:8 tells us, “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.”
Regardless of the political machinations of Modern American Liberals, God will have the final word as to our country’s future.
A dear Facebook friend and brother-in-Christ and I discuss this all the time, both being Christian American conservatives.
We seem to have been having more discussions as things continue to swirl down the ol’ porcelain receptacle in regards to the once great country that we both love.
We both agree that we seem to be going through biblical times.
I have been writing since April of 2010 as a way to vent my frustrations and to try to awaken people as to what is going on in the world around them.
Even now, as President Joe Biden’s popularity is down to the lowest point of any American president in this point in their tenure, there are still signs that there are plenty of useful idiots in our country who are either purposefully obtuse or blissfully ignorant concerning the moral decay and fiscal destruction being caused by the Cultural Marxism spreading throughout our once Sovereign Nation.
It troubles me to no end that, even though I know, in my heart of hearts, that there are plenty of average Americans who are just as upset over the dilapidated moral and fiscal condition of “the shining city on a hill” as I am, there are times when I feel like the little Dutch boy, with his finger in the dike, desperately trying to hold back the flood waters, which are about to destroy everything in its path.
I know that civilizations come and go. I am a student of history, and I have read about the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire. Their incredibly advanced governmental, military, and architectural legacy was eclipsed by situational ethics, immorality. and governmental corruption, caused by enemies foreign and domestic.
Sound familiar?
While I believe that a man who brought America back from the brink once as President can be at least partially successful in doing that again, I tend to agree with my before-mentioned brother that it will take more than a politician to restore this nation.
The United States of America has been one of the most noble undertakings in the history of mankind.
Our Founding Fathers came here to escape religious persecution. Not to get away from religion, as both the Far Left Democrat Elite and their useful idiots attempt to claim as truth.
John Adams, a signer of the Declaration of Independence and Second President of the United States said..
It is religion and morality alone which can establish the principles upon which freedom can securely stand. The only foundation of a free constitution is pure virtue.
…We have no government armed with power capable of contending with human passions unbridled by morality and religion. . . . Our constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.
Benjamin Franklin, signer of the Constitution and Declaration of Independence, said…
Only a virtuous people are capable of freedom. As nations become corrupt and vicious, they have more need of masters.
I have lived, Sir, a long time, and the longer I live, the more convincing proofs I see of this truth, that God governs in the affairs of men. And if a sparrow cannot fall to the ground without His notice, is it probable that an empire can rise without his aid? We have been assured, Sir, in the Sacred Writings, that “except the Lord build the House, they labor in vain that build it.” I firmly believe this; and I also believe that without His concurring aid we shall succeed in this political building no better, than the Builders of Babel: We shall be divided by our partial local interests; our projects will be confounded, and we ourselves shall become a reproach and bye word down to future ages. And what is worse, mankind may hereafter from this unfortunate instance, despair of establishing governments by human wisdom and leave it to chance, war and conquest.
I therefore beg leave to move that henceforth prayers imploring the assistance of Heaven, and its blessings on our deliberations be held in this Assembly every morning before we proceed to business, and that one or more of the clergy of this city be requested to officiate in that service.
Thomas Jefferson, signer of the Declaration of Independence and Third President of the United States, said…
Give up money, give up fame, give up science, give the earth itself and all it contains rather than do an immoral act. And never suppose that in any possible situation, or under any circumstances, it is best for you to do a dishonorable thing, however slightly so it may appear to you. Whenever you are to do a thing, though it can never be known but to yourself, ask yourself how you would act were all the world looking at you, and act accordingly. Encourage all your virtuous dispositions, and exercise them whenever an opportunity arises, being assured that they will gain strength by exercise, as a limb of the body does, and that exercise will make them habitual. From the practice of the purest virtue, you may be assured you will derive the most sublime comforts in every moment of life, and in the moment of death.
So, how did we get to where we are?
Today, the majority of Americans still believe that Jesus Christ is their personal Savior. You wouldn’t know that fact from exposure to our American Media, nor from following the anti-Christian actions of our present Administration.
The problem, though, is the fact that man is a fallen creature. There was only one Perfect Man. We all fall short of the Glory of God.
The other problem is the fact that we seem to be experiencing the great Falling Away as was foretold in scripture in which man and woman come to churches have “their ears tickled” while being reinforced in their belief in their own righteousness based on the accepted mores of popular culture instead of growing as a Christian through exposure to the Word of God.
There will be no escape for America from this downward spiral we find ourselves in, without Revival in the Land.
Just as addicts, going through the 12-step program, are told to reach out for spiritual help, so should we, as a sovereign nation, bought with the sweat and blood of our fallen, who fought for an ideal much greater than themselves, so that this Blessed Land, UNDER GOD, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all, should not perish from the face of God’s green Earth, seek the help of the God of our Fathers, to reclaim The Promise that is America.

Luke 2: 1-7 (ASV): 1 Now it came to pass in those days, there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus, that all the world should be enrolled. 2 This was the first enrolment made when Quirinius was governor of Syria. 3 And all went to enrol themselves, every one to his own city. 4 And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judaea, to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and family of David; 5 to enrol himself with Mary, who was betrothed to him, being great with child. 6 And it came to pass, while they were there, the days were fulfilled that she should be delivered. 7 And she brought forth her firstborn son; and she wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.
I remember it like it was yesterday. Caesar Augustus had come up with the bright idea that a census should be taken of the whole Roman Empire, in order to more effectively tax the stew out of all of us.
It especially hurt small businessmen like me. You see, I’m nothing but a lowly innkeeper, barely keeping my head above water, working 16 hour days. Oy! I could continue to gripe, but who would listen?
Anyway, like I said, Caesar decreed that everyone should get themselves registered for the Census. In terms of business, that actually turned out to be a good thing.
I was about to lock up for the night, when a young man and woman came to the door.
He was a strong,rugged-looking young man. I think he was a carpenter. She was a beautiful, pregnant little thing. Bless her heart, she looked like she would deliver at any moment.
Their names were Joseph and Mary.
My inn was packed, for once, and I had no rooms available. But, some part of my heart told me that I just couldn’t send them away.
So I offered them my stable, which would at least offer some protection from the elements.
What happened that night was wondrous.
Men are still talking about it to this day.
A precious little baby boy was born that night, and the most miraculous things happened. People said that animals actually spoke!
And, the local shepherds said that angels came to them and told them about this baby.
They sang His praises and told the shepherds that they needed to come to my stable to see and worship that little baby.
Three wise men, sent by Herod, showed up later, bearing gifts for that special infant.
They were overcome by that little one and decided that they would not report back to Herod, but, instead, would return to their homes.
It was quite a remarkable time. As the years went by, I heard stories about that child.
They named Him Jesus.
He grew in knowledge and stature. At 12, his parents lost Him. They found Him in the synagogue, teaching the old men that should have been teaching Him!
Can you imagine?
He grew up working beside His father in his carpentry business and when He was 30, I heard that He was baptized by that wild man, John The Baptist.
According to witnesses, the heavens parted, and they heard the voice of God saying:
This is my beloved son, in whom I am well pleased.
For three years, He traveled with a group of twelve disciples, performing miracles, preaching and teaching about God’s love and His plan for mankind.
And, now I’ve heard that just yesterday, they nailed Him to a cross, executing Him as they would a common criminal.
So sad.
But, you know, there is a still, small voice inside of me that’s telling me that His story is not over, yet.
I truly hope that you enjoyed this post today. I originally wrote the preceding story 13 years ago today in honor of this special night.
Tonight, we celebrate the birth of Our Savior Jesus Christ. In closing, I want to share two videos with you. The first is a video entitled, “That’s my King!”, as read by Dr. S.M. Lockridge. The second video is a song that I’ve had the privilege of singing in choirs many times, “The Hallelujah Chorus”, which has become a favorite of Believers everywhere.
Merry Christmas to you and yours! And may God bless us, everyone!
