Act like Jesus is the Hero... and He’ll BE the Hero.

Act like he’s the dopey dorky kid brother you’re ashamed of, and well...

Interesting point. What about jobs? What if your employer is persecuting you, but the system prevents them from firing you. Do you flee that job?

...this might be exactly Satan’s plan - to get us to give up and leave the fight? Or maybe God is testing us?

Both.

Hope everybody studied hard for the test. There won't be a re-take.

It’s the end of the world as we know it.

And I feel fine.

Does this appraisal sound like a defeatist attitude to you?


Yep.

I have listened to Rush enough over the years to know that he is not “spiritually dead”. This is the same trap the liberals fall into. They don’t listen to Rush, but think that know enough from hearsay to critique him. And what they haven’t heard, they just make up.

Faith is optimism.

Faith is only as good as the object it is placed upon. If it is Christ then your life is founded on a solid rock.

the conservative spiritually dead Rush Limbaugh's, Sean Hannity's, Mark Levin's and Michael Savage's who are lost and know not the Savior

Did you all notice the strawman argument above?

It's so funny IMHO when folks write against something and do the same thing themselves. There is a term for that... Hypoc...

wasn’t Jesus supposed to come like a thief in the night?

Only to those that walk in darkness. Christians walk in the light.

We are to know the signs and seasons just not the day or hour.

I can only give an opinion. I think the time to flee is when the persecution comes from the highest levels. In other words, we may have enemies everywhere we go. But when the mayor, city council, police, and judges become the enemy, it is time to get out. And when the ceo, board, upper management becomes the enemy, it is time to leave. In some cases we can appeal to a higher authority. Sometimes running away is not an option.

Thanks for your opinion. It is the situation we are in now-my husband is a conservative in a very liberal setting. Legally, I can’t reveal much, but it is frustrating and disheartening. I don’t think they can actually fire him and if they don’t...should he even stay?
