Food for thought

[Ezekiel]

Ecclesiastes 1:2 Vanity of vanities, saith the Preacher, vanity of vanities; all is vanity.

[SumProVita]

This has to be one of the best pieces of truth I’ve read in some time! It’s time to get serious about prayer and fasting....after repenting.

[Tuscaloosa Goldfinch]

Agreed.

[Evil Slayer]

The day of final judgment is near and I am looking forward to it.

Well written. Here's just one thought. Although it is true that many in America, just as you say, hove lost the desire to see between good and evil and therefore willfully choose evil...and that evil is horrednous in abortion, sodomy, persecuting and using the poor, etc., etc. to the point of such shame and such monsterous travesty that one hates to hear the report thereof.

Despite all of this, there are still million and million of good, God-fearing Americans who know where to look for their salvation and are willing to turn to Him.

This is our great hope.

If God would spare Sodam and Gommorah for the sake of fifty, He surely will spare America for the sake of millions. I have absolute faith in this.

That does not mean it will be easy. it does not mean there will not be hardship, perhaps tremndous hardship along the way. but if we will hearken to God and His voice and behave as He has asked us (ie. II Chron 7:14), then I believe, in the end, America will not only be spared, but also healed. We will all have to work hard for that and turn to Him, but I believe that is the ultimate outcome.

I'M VOTING FOR SARAH

Thanks for posting this.

Hezekiah got a reprieve on his deathbed.

“If My People...repent...then I will heal their land.”

Like Israel, America has made a covenant with God:

(From the Mayflower Compact) In the name of God, Amen. We whose names are underwritten, the loyal subjects of our dread Sovereign Lord King James, by the Grace of God of Great Britain, France and Ireland, King, Defender of the Faith, etc.

Having undertaken, for the Glory of God and advancement of the Christian Faith and Honour of our King and Country, a Voyage to plant the First Colony in the Northern Parts of Virginia, do by these presents solemnly and mutually in the presence of God and one of another, Covenant and Combine ourselves together into a Civil Body Politic.

Snowbely Man,

I completely agree with your outlook on our national future. Romans 1 is the perfect guide from scripture that describes this terrible thing. When will we, as a nation, ask God to forgive us? Like Sampson, it may not happen until after we have been dethroned and made into a slave of another.

Excellent article!
A few weeks ago, the pastor who teaches my adult Sunday School class had to go out of town on a Walk to Emmaus retreat, and had me fill in for him on the class that day (I'm currently in my second year of classes at a theological seminary, he has long been very supportive of me, and I had filled in for him on another class a couple months ago and did pretty well, so he figured I'd make a worthy substitute for him that day). For the last couple months, we had been looking at memorable figures from the Bible in each lesson, and for the one I led, I taught about Samson. In my lesson on Samson (The pastor wrote out a reference sheet for me to use, but I also incorporated a little of my own knowledge on the story), the focus was more on people's individual temptations, and how we each need to work on becoming wiser and more resistant to temptation in our lives. However, your theme on how it can apply to us as a nation as a whole is a great, valid point, as well.

Our son, Brendan (4th grade), worked on a prayer project at school and the teacher was so pleased with the results that she had his piece published in the school newsletter. We thought that we’d share the results. Our “Bubby” just turned 10. I think it’s just about right.

Indescribable God!!

God is mighty.
He controls the oceans and the storms.
God is a mighty fortress around me.
He shelters me from the wind and the rain.
He will see me through when days are rough.
Some days it’s rainy and black and he’ll be in my mind.
Days when I am bored he would make something happen to make things a bit brighter.
When I’m sad he’ll be there to comfort me.
If I’m scared, he’ll have something to show me not to be afraid.
