AMERICA’S MID TERM RESULTS SHOW IT IS FALLING AWAY FROM GOD

Posted on by

Donald Trump’s historic Reformation Day message puts Jesus Christ, Scripture and America’s Christian heritage centre stage, prompting praise from Christians and criticism from secular commentators.

Donald Trump is the first sitting United States president to honour Reformation Day. This is his report:

“From the earliest days of our Republic, prayer and faith in Almighty God have stood as the foundation of our strength, the source of our unity, and the fount of our greatness.  This Reformation Day, I send my best wishes to the countless Christians across our country commemorating the Protestant Reformation and its enduring message of salvation by God’s grace through faith in Jesus Christ.

“Five hundred years ago, William Tyndale—inspired by the work of Martin Luther—advanced the Protestant Reformation’s devotion to Holy Scripture through the publication of the first New Testament printed in English, shaping the language of the Bibles that would fortify the faith and resolve of America’s founding generation.  The Sacred Scriptures helped form the religious convictions that formed our young Nation’s founding ideals of God-given rights and individual liberty, a spiritual inheritance we honor as we continue to reflect on 250 glorious years of American Independence.  The Bible remains a cornerstone of our Nation’s character and upholds our steadfast devotion to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

“Guided by an unwavering faith in Jesus Christ, my Administration is working to restore the moral and religious foundations that have sustained our Republic for generations.  As President, I will always support citizens of faith and defend their place in the public square, honoring the enduring role of our churches in strengthening families, serving communities, and preserving the core values that have anchored us across the centuries.

“As Christians across our country unite in faith and fellowship this Reformation Day, I send my heartfelt prayers for a meaningful celebration and encourage each of you to draw renewed strength from God’s Word as we carry forward the blessings of faith and freedom throughout our beloved Nation.”

It’s a front-page story with a historical punch to match. Yet, a neurotic, Trump-hating legacy media couldn’t be bothered to report on it. While the Left was obsessed with reading hidden meanings into a time-poor President, conservatives and Christians took note.

“Earlier in the week, the United States Department of State celebrated America’s Christian heritage in a social media video marking International Religious Freedom Day on October 27.”

He told The Daily Declaration, “At a time when Western leaders are abandoning Scriptural limits on power for government answerable only to itself, Trump’s Reformation Day remarks are a welcome and refreshing change.

“Acknowledging Christ as the supreme authority made America and the West places where freedom, prosperity and goodness could flourish. As Western leaders abandon that truth, they recognise no moral bounds beyond those they set themselves. And we’re feeling the consequences of that today.

“Trump obviously doesn’t get everything right, but this example deserves to be followed worldwide.”

Christians seem to always have a plan to keep Christianity from further influencing the nation by discipling people into either: 1) Political apathy (“God is sovereign, back off”, “we don’t get political, just do evangelism”) 2) Political ambiguity (“Jesus isn’t a Republican or Democrat, neither Right nor Left” = primary application of Gospel to culture).

If continued, this will have very predictable (and disastrous) results. The mid term election results demonstrate that America’s falling away from God is accelerating. Biblical end times prophecies are playing out with increasing frequency in our day. Thank goodness next on God’s agenda for planet Erath is Jesus Millennial Kingdom, Satan’s rule will shortly be over when Jesus returns to destroy the Antichrist and His army at Armageddon.

God has told us what is coming so we need to use this information to warn families and friends and give them the good news of the Gospel of Jesus Christ but also the bad news that God’s judgement is coming on the Earth with the Trumpet and Bowl judgements.

REDEDICATE 250 AND MARCO RUBIO ON AMERICA’S ROLE IN THE WORLD

Posted on by

At Rededicate 250, Secretary of State Marco Rubio said, 250 years ago, our forefathers gathered for a national day of fasting and prayer. Americans are coming together again as one Nation under God. This is who we are and who we’ve always been.

The Secretary of State, appointed by the President with the advice and consent of the Senate, is the President’s chief foreign affairs adviser. The Secretary carries out the President’s foreign policies through the State Department, which includes the Foreign Service, Civil Service and U.S. Agency for International Development.

Under the leadership of the President and Secretary of State, the U.S. Department of State leads America’s foreign policy through diplomacy, advocacy, and assistance by advancing the interests of the American people, their safety and economic prosperity.

On behalf of the American people we promote and demonstrate democratic values and advance a free, peaceful, and prosperous world, Marco Rubio said.

Trump with his selection of Rubio and the rest of his management team has been an influence for God and therefore good in the world. God is in control of what leaders are appointed in each country and for Christians who understand the intensity of the spiritual battle that is waging as we approach the end times when Jesus returns to end Satan’s reign, it is obvious that Satan intended to remove Trump with the assassination attempts and that God supernaturally saved him when the assassins bullet clipped Trump’s ear.

Folks we are in the Biblical prophesied end times and we need to be watching for the other prophesied signs. Famine is one of the major signs and it is fast approaching. Watch as America’s water reserves dry up. In my own country, because of a lack of fertilizers Australia is forecasting a decline in crop production. Also frequency and intensity of earthquakes.

We know what is coming so we need to use this information in our efforts to evangelise family, friends and workmates.

THE GOSPEL IS THE ANSWER TO THE WORLD’S PROBLEMS

Dr. James Tour interviews author and social critic Os Guinness about his book, American Agonistes –America’s 250th and the Restoration of a Nation in Conflict with Itself and Its Past (agonistes – a person engaged in a struggle).

Tour and Guinness explore the Jewish and biblical roots of American freedom, covenantal self-government, and the gospel as the true foundation of liberty. They contrast biblical freedom with secular ideologies, warn about America’s current polarization and dependence on the state, and call for repentance, renewal, and a return to Scripture as the nation nears its 250th anniversary.

The gospel transforms lives. Release from the burden of sin is liberating.

These two men do a great job of explaining how the Gospel is the answer to the world’s problems. If we return to the Lord, He will return to us and liberate us. When you get right down to it, the only thing that really matters is Jesus: “Now this is eternal life: that they know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent” John 17:3

A mid-December weekend punctuated with mass shootings reminds us that a world plagued by sin is a world plunged in darkness. Worldly solutions focus on human action and therefore offer no hope for eradicating the evil afflicting the world. Yet this Advent season reminds Christians that true hope is found in Jesus, the one who is light, who came to earth on a divine rescue mission, whose birth first established the meaning and the significance of Christmas.

TRUMP, CHRISTIAN MINISTRIES HELP – FAITH AND PRAYER ARE BACK

Posted on by

Faith and prayer are reclaiming their place in the heart of America’s academic institutions — thanks to dedicated Christian leaders and a supportive Trump administration.

Last Monday, President Donald Trump declared, “America has always been a nation that believes in the power of prayer, and we will never apologise for our faith — ever, ever, never, never. We will never surrender our God-given rights.” This statement was part of Trump’s remarks at the second Religious Liberty Commission gathering at the Museum of the Bible in Washington, D.C. During the meeting, the president said that “the Department of Education will soon issue new guidance protecting the right to prayer in our public schools.”

In a time where children are being bullied for their faith, and anti-Christian, LGBT agendas are rippling throughout society, this development is being welcomed by many. In fact, Trump’s comments were met with a standing ovation from those in the audience.

On last Tuesday’s edition of Washington Watch, Joel Penton, founder and CEO of LifeWise Academy, discussed these developments with Family Research Council President Tony Perkins.
