What a hornets nest America is in. Thinking nation building is the way to go in a world that is already in turmoil.YIKES! Maybe our foresight is lacking The Divine insight. I must tell you I do have hope for this nation. It will be a long hard road if He has mercy on us. If one thinks Mr. O has inherited a bad economy, Romney will inherit one far worse, thanks to Mr. O. It is incredible to me that so many Americans voted him in.I believe this was a sign of how far America has fallen from GRACE! Being duped with lies and flatteries. I can remember a time in our history when we were indistrucktable. Nothing could do us harm. Anything we did was gold. So maybe you who read my blog will understand the pain people like me are going through. I think one might call it grief. I was raised to love this once great nation. Today, American history is lacking the patriotism it needs. The public schools are lacking the love for her that once was taught in school. Sad, sad, sad. Who ever thought that communism would work here? Evil men in high places. America was the apple of His eye, along with Israel. My how the mighty have fallen. How far will she fall, no human knows. I have a few serious questions for thinking people. What did the ambassador know that got him killed.? Why were security troops pulled out before the attack? Why was all pleas for help denied? And why were they watching in real time, to make sure he was dead? November 6th is an important day in America's history. Most likely, one of the most important. As important as Valley Forge or the War of Independence. May you do the right thing on November 6th. For you will give answer for that day!

Nothing Like Mercy!

I have a friend who says,on occasion, I need to go to charm school. I always laugh at her take, as to how one should speak to others when either correcting them or trying to get them to see The Light. I tell her you can't alter your words or the tone. In scripture, When Christ would admonish others, the language would be very strong. You didn't have a recording to hear the tone, but you could perceive it through the words He spoke. You can imagine my elation, when reading J.I. Packers words in his book, Evangelism and The Sovereignty of God,on page 48, when he says that Paul's refusal to modify his message to suit circumstances, brought ridicule and indifference. In other words be plain in your speech. Let there be no doubt in your meaning. We are the ambassadors for Christ and His message. We, like Paul, must remain faithful to the terms of His commission that is given to us by Him. We speak neither more nor less than The spirit says we are to speak. This is such a serious point, that Paul , in Galatians 1:8, states the one who commits such folly is accursed. He says to Jeremiah and Paul, don't be afraid of their faces. Our words are not to be in the wisdom of man, but in the power of God, speaking the wisdom of God in a mystery. I Corinthians 2:1-7. Speaking His Gospel, persuading others of His Son and his redemptive work and the power of His blood shed for all those who believe. I am always amazed at the evil of fleshly man. It's depth no man can fathom. Take this election coming up, there are such evil adds with such lies it is hard to believe anyone could be so vicious. But we see each day the character of a man who was given such an honor to be the president of the greatest nation on planet earth, try an deceive the people who voted for him. We Christians need to pray for MERCY. Our nation has not always performed honor on others nor on our Creator. We had a good start, but evil crept in as good men slept. I could give a list of evil ,but I won't. So when you go to vote, bow your head and ask for MERCY!

Behold ,The Lord of Mercy!

A few days before the debate, I was praying and asking The Lord to have mercy on America. As the day progressed, I felt a lot of faith well up in me.I started to tell everyone I spoke with ,that Romney was going to win , and win big! I just felt He had heard my prayer of mercy. I went to have my devotions this morning and my Bible fell open to the first chapter of Jeremiah. As I read the account of a great old prophet, I felt the Holy spirit confirming His Words. We find in this great book, a story of Love and Mercy! Love for the children of Abraham, which he had promised,"Would be as the stars of heaven and the sand of the sea in number"! Sin had invaded every part of the culture, to the extent He had to bring judgement on the beloved. The Almighty and all seeing merciful God had to take charge of what was clearly a very bad situation for His people.Sending a young man, not yet mature ,to His people to warn them of the coming judgement, was the most practical way. Jeremiah was one of their own. The story is one of greatness,sadness and victory. It is like a lot of stories of human characters today. Stories of weakness toward sin and overcoming that weakness with His love and mercy. But most of all it said to me there is hope in The One I serve. Don't give up, even when things are at there darkest. For The Light is on It's way!
