I am sad for America. I guess I am also sad for myself, that I guessed wrong.

America has turned into dueling political dumpster fires. The left is currently losing its head more than the right. I can't fault Donald Trump for desiring a mid 20th century version of America. The problem is that we don't have the soul support for it. The left is so used to being where it is, that moving it is like moving a battleship -- it won't happen overnight. A faith revolution could help, but that has to be at the evangelistic level without politics.

God is angry at the left, chiefly. That's where the greatest sin is. However God is also angry at the right for thinking it can "heal our wound lightly." Christian principles flounder unanchored when faith isn't operating. We might joke around here with ideas like hanging all the lefties. But this is not possible nor would any modern Christian group want it.

I guess this is a soft opus. I'm not asking to never ever be here again, but only that it be as God wills. I think we all need to embrace humility as idealism will only burn us. And with that, sincerity. I dabbled in the Stormy Daniels threads only to find I couldn't stand before God -- that stuff is not conducive to the mind that God wants. There is no clean end by which to pick up a poop.

Please pray for America both left and right. Until a putative rapture we are all going to have to deal with one another.

When God has had enough, he orders action taken or makes it happen:

Numbers 31:1 Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
Numbers 31:2 "Take full vengeance for the sons of Israel on the Midianites; afterward you will be gathered to your people."
Numbers 31:3 And Moses spoke to the people, saying, "Arm men from among you for the war, that they may go against Midian, to execute the Lord's vengeance on Midian.
Numbers 31:4 "A thousand from each tribe of all the tribes of Israel you shall send to the war."
Numbers 31:5 So there were furnished from the thousands of Israel, a thousand from each tribe, twelve thousand armed for war.
Numbers 31:6 And Moses sent them, a thousand from each tribe, to the war, and Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest, to the war with them, and the holy vessels and the trumpets for the alarm in his hand.
Numbers 31:7 So they made war against Midian, just as the Lord had commanded Moses, and they killed every male. Numbers 31:8 And they killed the kings of Midian along with the rest of their slain: Evi and Rekem and Zur and Hur and Reba, the five kings of Midian; they also killed Balaam the son of Beor with the sword.
Numbers 31:9 And the sons of Israel captured the women of Midian and their little ones; and all their cattle and all their flocks and all their goods, they plundered.
Numbers 31:10 Then they burned all their cities where they lived and all their camps with fire.
Numbers 31:11 And they took all the spoil and all the prey, both of man and of beast.
Numbers 31:12 And they brought the captives and the prey and the spoil to Moses, and to Eleazar the priest and to the congregation of the sons of Israel, to the camp at the plains of Moab, which are by the Jordan opposite Jericho.
Numbers 31:13 And Moses and Eleazar the priest and all the leaders of the congregation went out to meet them outside the camp.
Numbers 31:14 And Moses was angry with the officers of the army, the captains of thousands and the captains of hundreds, who had come from service in the war.
Numbers 31:15 And Moses said to them, "Have you spared all the women?
Numbers 31:16 "Behold, these caused the sons of Israel, through the counsel of Balaam, to trespass against the Lord in the matter of Peor, so the plague was among the congregation of the Lord.
Numbers 31:17 "Now therefore, kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman who has known man intimately.
NUM 31:18 "But all the girls who have not known man intimately, spare for yourselves.

Interesting battle plan that was enacted, by the way. More than likely the women who had known men sexually may have been carrying venereal diseases which would be a hazard even as house help. Regardless, Moses enacted this and God did not condemn him. No further comment.

We have become lukewarm, and you know the rest of the letter and what it says. Don’t be sad for America, God knows what he’s doing and he sits on the throne. To save many, the heat, by necessity, will have to be turned up. Keep the Faith.

Just unplug for 3 or 4 weeks and concentrate on your prayer life. Hope it works out for you.

For most of human history a sad day was when your neighboring tribe sacked your village, killed the men, raped the women and took the children as slaves.

Quit whining.

Go watch some of those #WalkAway videos. They are pretty up-lifting.

Concentrate on the 5-10 people closest to you.
In the end, this is what is most important anyway.
Trump can’t fix this all by himself.

This is how the left became unglued as they thought Obama was going to lead them to the promised land.
He didn’t and in the processes, they are quickly loosing their minds.

It could just as easily happen to Conservatives.

Don't put emotions into God's thoughts- He told us that the world would devolve into a cesspool before Jesus comes back to set things right...we who are saved need not fall from Grace by trying to stop what He has already ordained will happen - all we can do is praise Him for His love and carry His Word to those who have not been able to grasp it so far.

I don't think it is pure coincidence that the Bible says,

“Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. 35For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, 36I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.’

37“Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? 38When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? 39When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?’

40“The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’

41“Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. 42For I was hungry and you gave me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink, 43I was a stranger and you did not invite me in, I needed clothes and you did not clothe me, I was sick and in prison and you did not look after me.’

While both right and left have their anomalies, it seems to hold true...

Things are changing. The democratic party is being taken over by socialists. The average American is starting to see this and has no interest in it. Look at the #walkaway movement. The democrats are losing voters. As people move away from the darkness, they begin to see light but it will take time.

Don't be sad FRiend, buck up. As a former Lefty I know how these a$$holes play. They're cowards.Most of my family, immediate and extended are Lefties and they long ago stopped talking politics with me because I told them in no uncertain terms I'd punch their lights out and my youngest brother and I don't talk at all unless it concerns my ailing, elderly father. I've made it known to co- workers who have called Trump a “Nazi’’ in my presence that if they'd like when we clock out we can go somewhere and ‘’discuss’’ the subject. No one has taken me up on it and believe me, whether I get a beating or not I'm going to get my shots in. This is war.

You need to spend some time with the Psalms.
