TRUMP’S LATEST AFFAIR – – – BUT HE IS STILL FAITHFUL TO . . .

April 18, 2016 By Leave a Comment

Trump’s latest affair is with American politics at the highest level.

Think about it for a moment, and see that it has many ingredients of other affairs.

—the thrill of the chase

—the lure of winning the prize

—the new experience

—the biggest rush ever

—the forbidden fruit (outsiders not allowed)

—the attention like never before

—the appreciation and worship

—the fun of reckless abandon

—the apparent absence of consequences

 

But, Trump is still faithful to one person through all the affairs, including this big one.

Yes, Donald Trump is still faithful to Donald Trump, with accountability to no one.

Sobering.  Think about it.

PASSING SHADOW

April 18, 2016 By Leave a Comment

On Good Friday morning I heard this story twice in one hour on American Family Radio—first by Robert Jeffres, then by Sandy Rios.

A well-known theologian named Barnhouse experienced the devastating loss of his wife.

He was struggling and asking God for something to say to their three small children, now without their mother.

As they were riding in the hearse on the way to the cemetery, a large truck passed, momentarily casting its shadow on them.

God answered the father’s prayer.

He asked his oldest child whether she would rather have them hit by the shadow of the truck or by the truck.

She answered, “The shadow, because it can’t hurt us.”

So there, “the shadow of death” cannot hurt us, if the Lord is our Shepherd.

CRUZ – – – WHAT DO WE HAVE HERE ?

April 18, 2016 By Leave a Comment

I believe Ted Cruz is the best offer we’ve had in my lifetime.

He is the one true statesman since Ronald Reagan.

Real Americans understand what it means to “bring America back” to what our founders created with great sacrifice and dependence on the Creator.

It costs a lot to gain freedom—sacrifice, blood, lives, passion.

It costs a lot to keep freedom—sacrifice, blood, lives, passion, and vigilance (the hardest during prosperity).

It costs a lot more to lose freedom—trading a “mess of porridge” for promises of security—plus the futile sacrifices of blood, lives, and passion after it is too late.

Ted Cruz clearly understands all this.

We need American voters who understand this now.

TRUMP – – – BELIEVE HIM ? – – – OR NOT ?

April 18, 2016 By Leave a Comment

I think we should believe everything Donald Trump says – – – and run away from him scared as far and as fast as we can.

We have no idea what we are getting our country into.

Americans were desperate for “hope and change” eight years ago.

Americans are now desperate for someone to “make America great again.”

Americans are desperate enough to believe promises without thinking.

Brings to mind a European country—20th century—4th decade.
