We should continue to stand and fight for what’s right and not give up. This may not be the end or the even the beginning of worse days to come. As a quote goes:

“If God ordains that Man should die without a fight, then why does He give us the will to live?”

I didn't remotely suggest we should give up.

But I am also not going to deceive myself into thinking good times are ahead. They are not for this lost, corrupted nation and world.

Things are going to get worse, not better. He told us the end from the beginning.

I think if we are being honest with ourselves we know things have already gone too far. This cancer has already metastasized and is already beyond the knife. We should resist and fight for whats right, but we know how this ends.

No man knows the hour or the day but the signs of the season is upon us. We are given a life and we all die. And each one of us is expected to do something with our lives which indicates our faith.

One of today's issues is that everyone expects someone else to handle everything for them. Soldiers handle wars, politicians are supposed to send aid when there is a disaster, and insurance covers the rest. It is this fantasy along with the one that morality was a choice and the lack of it has no consequences that has placed us squarely in a world where good is now evil and evil is now good. In reality it became that the moment we quit disciplining our children and allowed the nanny state to teach them that parents who discipline were abusive, and any one who taught that certain life choices were evil were bigots, or that evil could be good in its own way.

When those who know better, and yet don't fight, are in the majority and parents are too lazy to teach their own children, this is what happens. But so it is with those who only talk and do nothing. We have become a nation of image projectors instead of defenders of our beliefs.

God expects active faith and faithfulness even in the arenas of the wicked. The need to be popular is contrary to courage. We are now a nation which craves the approval of the masses on social media rather than a clean conscience and the approval of God.
