Dear Friends,

Here are a few articles for your consideration.

Thanks.

Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.

Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you. (Matthew 5:11-12)

There has been a lot of discussion this past week about the 2024 election. Some feel that it may be our last opportunity to see a Republican elected anywhere. Some believe that even if we elect a Republican President, it will still be the last. I would advise anyone who feels that way to make a careful study of the book of Judges. In that case Israel fell into sin, they experienced serious severe circumstances, they prayed for help, and God sent a deliverer, in the person of a judge. As long as he was alive things went along fairly well, but after he died the nation fell into sin again, with terrible conditions. As before they prayed for help and God raised up a judge to deliver them. This is repeated several times.

The problem we face today is not so much what God can do, it is more what He will do. And since we have kicked God out of our public life we cannot expect much help from Him. Our task is first of all to lead many to Christ and the Bible, and then beyond that to convince many that America is under serious difficulties. The present administration is working against America in too many ways to mention. If you cannot find good answers on the internet, drop me a note and I will help. If our constitutional republic is destroyed it will only be because we did not do what was expected of us.
