Be careful what you get really excited about, if it’s what somebody tells you, if it’s not straight from the Bible you read for yourself.
Anyone who talks/teaches for any length of time without the Bible—BEWARE !

It’s time for change in the talking points of conservatives and Christians in media and government.
I listen as much as anyone can, to the reporting and documenting of the bad things going on in America, in government, especially in the Biden Administration.
I am painfully conscious of repetition of the facts, as though most of the audience doesn’t already know the terrible shape we’re in.
As I’ve said before, every leader and reporter and commentator on the side for America must no longer be satisfied and think you’ve done your job by telling us how bad the bad things are the bad people in Washington are doing, and what they should be doing (and never will).
More Americans stuffed with more information—yes, the truth—is not and will not stop the evil people taking over.
Yes, we vote—Yes, we campaign—Yes, I feel hope when I listen to Trump—Yes, I pray—I remember prayers of our leaders like Roosevelt before the nation on the eve of D-Day – – – and so much is so different today.
God blessed the American form of government in our Constitution, as long as we maintained the mindset of the founding fathers,
“Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.”—–John Adams
That declaration says our Constitution and democratic process will no longer work, because we are no longer a moral and religious people.
IN GOD WE TRUSTED – – – past tense
GOD BLESSED AMERICA – – – past tense
– – –
Sadly, it seems like everyone vigorously sounding the alarms (and rightly so) doesn’t really know what we should be doing to stop this wayward government.
Or, fear is so effective, that no one steps forward to lead and direct us to stop the people destroying our country by design.
Diplomacy, negotiation, legislation, appeasement—DID NOT WORK in the American Revolution against King George—DID NOT WORK in World War II against Hitler—WILL NOT WORK saving Israel from terrorists—IS NOT WORKING to defeat those running America in the ground.

Question:
Would God honor the second amendment of the United States Constitution if we applied it literally today, to stop this wayward government ?
Nothing else will.
MAKE YOUR POINT – – – BACK IT UP

Bible teaching and preaching.
Is it not typical to make a point—then back it up with Bible verses ?
Everyone is so accustomed to this pattern, that we expect the learned leader to state doctrinal teaching, first, and share Scripture that agrees with with it, second.
Start observing now, and consider why this is so, and if it is best.
Consciously or unconsciously, knowingly or unknowingly, this is built on the premise that the teacher/preacher is more educated to tell the listeners what to believe, and the Bible proves it.
This is subtle, but universal.
There is a simple, higher plane for relating the Bible to teaching and doctrine.
It is not difficult, but calls for putting the Bible first, literally, always.
Just read the Bible first !
Let the listeners see how you arrived at your beliefs/teachings from Scripture, not from others, no matter how revered they may be.
Take them slowly to verses that they can read in their own Bible, right then, and develop understanding at their own pace, not suddenly just because you said so.
Patience.
Humility.
Encourage your listeners to “search the Scriptures daily, to see if those things are true” that you tell them.
JUST SAY “NO” – – – OR “YES” ?

“Just Say ‘NO’ To Drugs” was a worthwhile campaign against what is bad for kids—and everybody agreed drugs were bad.
Today, nearly everything is turned upside down for kids, AND everything imaginable and unimaginable is given a green light for kids, by adults, and even pushed and forced on kids, by adults.
— Everything gay-accepting, gay-affirming, gay-endorsing is everywhere.
— Boys cannot be left alone to be boys.
— Girls cannot be left alone to be girls.
— Drag queen shows welcome and cater to kids.
— School libraries defend pornography.
— Unrestricted technology gives free tickets to any evil, at any age.
— Murder openly seen on TV breeds a right to unseen medical murder of kids.
And, even the war on drugs to save kids, is turned upside down—by our leaders, BY ADULTS.
Do not think for a moment that the fentanyl crisis is accidental or unavoidable.
Just as surely as the border crossing crisis is totally intentional, so is the companion disaster of the drug crossing crisis catastrophe also by design.
We could stop both at one time by securing the border, like any other sane and healthy country.
But our leadership, adults, don’t want to.
They want to destroy this country, and are pleased to be well on their way by destroying our border integrity and destroying our kids—by doing nothing about it.
We know what needs to be done.
We know it can be done.
But it doesn’t get done.
We watch, and nothing happens.
Sometimes, do we just have to leave things hanging, like when we say, “Why, God?” in our personal lives, without answers ?
