3646 – May 19, 2025 – THE DEMOCRATS HAVE NOTHING BUT DESPERATION – AS we get to this let us examine a few other things, LIKE… HOW DO WE RESPOND TO THEIR DESPERATION?
I don’t really believe in coincidences, do you? As you know we read a daily devotional every morning in the office before we start to work. It just so happens that today’s was the same that was shared in a very recent sermon.
James 4:1-10 – NIV – Submit Yourselves to God
What causes fights and quarrels among you? Don’t they come from your desires that battle within you?
2 You desire but do not have, so you kill. You covet but you cannot get what you want, so you quarrel and fight. You do not have because you do not ask God.
3 When you ask, you do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, that you may spend what you get on your pleasures.
4 You adulterous people,[a] don’t you know that friendship with the world means enmity (hostility) against God? Therefore, anyone who chooses to be a friend of the world becomes an enemy of God.
5 Or do you think Scripture says without reason that he jealously longs for the spirit he has caused to dwell in us[b]?
6 But he gives us more grace. That is why Scripture says: “God opposes the proud but shows favor to the humble.”[c]
7 Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
8 Come near to God and he will come near to you. Wash your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded.
9 Grieve, mourn and wail. Change your laughter to mourning and your joy to gloom.
10 Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up.
What am I to learn from this passage that is has been put in front of me TWICE now in such a short period of time? AND what am I to glean from this to share with you? WHAT does any of this have to do with the news or politics?
As Christian American, we are not immune to the ways of the world… we must live here BUT not be of it… in the world not of the world… YET we all want to live free… and we can be… Through our faith in Jesus Christ.
I think it is obvious that God is moving in America. I think it is also obvious that satan is also very active.
The war… is between good and evil… AND we are not caught in the middle… our souls are the subjects of the battle. AHH… but
