It will only get worse.<\/p>\n<p>Out of the frying pan,<br \/>\ninto the fire.<\/p>\n<p>That is what will happen when you see the end of the most corrupted politician to ever be in charge of America destroy America in just 8 years&#8230;..<\/p>\n<p>Transition to a new regime that is a law unto herself will do.<\/p>\n<div class=\"text_exposed_show\">\n<p>Even so, come Lord Jesus!<\/p>\n<p>Our country is not going to turn around no matter who gets in, and our world&#8217;s political mess won&#8217;t get fixed until Jesus rules and reigns. \u00a0We are in the last days, final inning, last minutes of overtime. \u00a0Soon Jesus will have enough, and the fun will begin. \u00a0Until then, we need to wake up whoever doesn&#8217;t want to keep sleeping until it is too late.<\/p>\n<p>The Bible says in Psalms 9:17 that\u00a0<sup class=\"versenum\">\u00a0<\/sup>The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God.<\/p>\n<p>In our slumber we have forgotten the Lord.<\/p>\n<p>The church of America needs to wake up for starters. \u00a0Then those awake yet groggy can start waking up the rest of the country. \u00a0That is a long shot, but this is what America needs.<\/p>\n<p>America doesn&#8217;t need Bernie and the Jets or Queen Hillary or a Trump charge or free condoms or free healthcare or free\u00a0Lamborghinis or free lunches. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0America needs a big huge dose of the fear of God. \u00a0America doesn&#8217;t fear God because the churches don&#8217;t fear God.<\/p>\n<p>Proverbs 1:29 says for they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the Lord. \u00a0In other verses in proverbs, it further reveals what blessings will come by fearing the Lord. \u00a0The Bible says the fear of the Lord is to hate evil: pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, and the froward mouth, do I hate. \u00a0 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and the knowledge of the holy is understanding. \u00a0The fear of the Lord prolongeth days; but the years of the wicked shall be shortened. \u00a0In the fear of the Lord is strong confidence, and his children shall have a place of refuge. \u00a0The fear of the Lord is a fountain of life, to depart from the snares of death. Better is little with the fear of the Lord that great treasure and trouble therewith. \u00a0The fear of the Lord is the instruction of wisdom; and before honor is humility. \u00a0By mercy and truth iniquity is purged, and by the fear of the Lord, men depart from evil.<\/p>\n<p>Did you catch that? \u00a0By the fear of the Lord, men depart from evil.<\/p>\n<p>It would be a lot better if we went back to teaching abstinence in school, and put God back in the schools so kids had a moral compass and put a healthy fear of God back in America so men would not commit adultery and families were families and men did not abandon their duties or break their vows. Christians are not perfect, but a healthy fear of God keeps us inline, and when we get out of line we don&#8217;t get away with it. We tend to want what we have, are thankful <span class=\"text_exposed_show\">for what we have, and are content, when God is our source of Satisfaction. The lie of the world is that Snickers satisfies. We don&#8217;t deserve a break today. We will find rest for our wandering souls only in JESUS CHRIST.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"text_exposed_show\">\n<p>When America told God it didn&#8217;t want to be told what to do, now there is no one behind the wheel and that is why we keep crashing and burning!!!!! That is why we get the wicked, godless leadership that is bent on destroying our nation. That is why people don&#8217;t know which bathroom to use. We have an identity crisis going on in America. Until &#8220;we&#8221; know WHO God is, we won&#8217;t know WHO we are.<\/p>\n<p>America needs God but they will continue to try and find satisfaction in anything else, from bad relationships to new relationships to &#8220;viral\/on line&#8221; relationships to Pokemon relationships.<\/p>\n<p>So, America, bless God!<\/p>\n<p>I know that is not something Snopes or Wikipedia will admit. \u00a0They refuse to allow a divine foot in the door. \u00a0They will tell you, not to trust the bible, but do trust them. \u00a0Who has a God complex, now?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>I have seen things against Snopes before and I already found them very biased. Meaning they will side with the brainwashed mantras of our day. But I sarcastically respond with this&#8212;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Oh no, what do I do now? If I can&#8217;t trust the media, and the media says I can&#8217;t trust the bible, where do I turn?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>It should be a rhetorical question. We don&#8217;t like the Bible in America because it steps on our toes and hits on our American Idols, but it is a living book that we are going to<span class=\"text_exposed_show\"> be judged by.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"text_exposed_show\">\n<p>On Judgment day, you don&#8217;t get to phone-a-friend. You don&#8217;t get a second chance if you are wrong with your final answer. You will not get to be reincarnated as a squid, squirrel, skunk, salmon, or St. Bernard. You won&#8217;t be able to count on your church to pray you in, declare you gloriously saved at your funeral, or buy you out of purgatory.<\/p>\n<p>And you won&#8217;t be able to say, &#8220;but snopes said hell was old fashioned.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Hell exists whether we think it is reasonable or we believe it or not. You can sum up my urgency for your eternity in 3 little words.<\/p>\n<p>DON&#8217;T<\/p>\n<p>GO<\/p>\n<p>THERE.<\/p>\n<p>Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and Thou shalt be saved.<\/p>\n<p>And know that true belief will change your life and produce a love for GOD and others. And his WORD. The bible warns that even the devil&#8217;s believe &#8211;and they tremble as well.<\/p>\n<p>Don&#8217;t go to hell simply because you are too stubborn to admit God is right.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A good rule of thumb when it comes to the media is to always look at what news story it is that they are trying to distract you from.
