These past few months I’ve been buried in other pursuits but I have been thinking, reading and praying. As I have watched the presidential candidates pursue their party’s nomination for these many months a few things have become evident.
First, regardless of the success of the eventual nominees, our nation will be thrust into a number of major tests. Second, the conflicted reality of our degenerating value system will be exposed even more than we have experienced in the past generation. Third, the global threats to peace and the economy will be heightened by the reality and release of the enemies of our fragile stability as the rhetoric increases and the action decreases. Finally, the church will be faced with the reality of a blatant conflict of kingdoms. She will be driven to action or apathy, she will begin a new revolution of the heart or slide back into another dark age.
The icon of tolerance that has been erected and revered will be threatened by the hypocritical biases just under the surface. The ideal of multi-culturalism that is exalted as an expression of such tolerance will also be exposed as a ruse. The entrance of Mrs. Clinton and Mr. Obama into the race thrusts the reality of these expressions into the limelight. The selection of Mr. McCain as the Republican candidate reveals the internal conflicts of the other pole.
I believe that the apparent monolith of the Democratic Party will be revealed as a pile of gravel being shoved from many directions and coalescing into an unruly sprawl and the so-called conservatism of the Republican Party will be revealed as a spineless body.
Our hope is built on nothing less than Jesus blood and righteousness! He has planted the only durable rumor of hope in a world of despair. I am not hopeless. But I have NO hope in this worlds systems. We should pursue His will and His purpose above all, praying, “Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.”
Further up and further in!

Do you ever listen to John Leoffler at http://www.steelonsteel.com ? He calls the Party’s, Socialists Party D and Socialist Party R meaning that no matter the election, the outcome will be pretty much the same. There is no such thing as a Conservative Party anymore.
You are right regarding the trials we are facing as a nation. When I came back to KC after having been gone for ten years and found that there were no Sunday evening services I really realized the impact the world was having on our Churchs. Now there are so many other things to do rather than gathering together on a Sunday evening.
I like your comment that people do what they want to do.
Hi Juanita,

When I initially commented I clicked the “Notify me when new comments are added” checkbox and now each time
a comment is added I get four emails with the same comment.
Is there any way you can remove me from that service?
Thanks a lot!

I know this if off topic but I’m looking into starting my own weblog
and was wondering what all is required to get set up?
I’m assuming having a blog like yours would cost a pretty penny?
I’m not very web savvy so I’m not 100% certain. Any suggestions or
advice would be greatly appreciated. Cheers
