Political and Religious Machines in tow

Revelation 21:26  And they shall bring the glory and honour of the nations into it. Revelation 21:27  And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb's book of life.

Election coverage should make us pray for our nation. We are given the great privilege to participate in the whittling of culture into the next generation.

Who did you vote for, mommy {grandmommy}etc.? Were you awake in the 2016 election? Did you give in to the destruction of masculinity and the crushing of the Christian perspective? Did you ask those people to articulate what they stood for, or did you guys only look at it from a special interest point of view?

I loved looking at John Quincy Adams' Unitarian perspective that stands out like a sore thumb from the "Christian World View" of that time, such as BB Warfield, etc. Sometimes God uses the people who stand out from the crowd and question the establishment and say, as it were, "if that is Christian, I won't participate."

Lord, You are able to cut through the fog of self and special interest and give us grace to represent right in a wrong world. Make it so, as we live through this nonsense of an election cycle, which is consuming, not just the babies held up as hostages to the womens' movement, but the next generation of masculine examples. Give us eyes to see the right way to articulate our values. Move us in the direction of Revelation 21 and not away from it. In Jesus' Name, Amen {the Light of that City song}

"All your children will be taught of the Lord" "The Promise is to us and to our children..."

Rebellion in the eyes has never alarmed me more than yesterday, with my Joshua. He, actually glared at me. I had never seen that glare of anger from him, toward me. He’s bitten and hit, etc., but his eyes never said “I hate you” like they did yesterday. My own children, I have seen this look millions of times. I have the opportunity to right the conflict and get to the bottom of it, but this was “my Joshy”.

I swaddled him at three months and we talked about the little things, everyday. Where was this glare coming from. My heart felt the grandmotherly call to pray for the soul of that little stranger and indeed I do.

Sometimes you throw your doctrinal knowledge of depravity out with the pedobaptismic incantations that you attempt to throw on your children and leave off the instructions of repentance and faith which is the tool of God to whittle godliness into the fallow soul of Adam’s wretched race. We have the tools. We just refuse to use them. We trust in the arm of flesh and are alarmed at their smack of pain in our face that pains us far more than a bite in our thigh. It is not the water of their baptism or christening. It is not the oil of a prayer or two. It is the incessant instruction of determined people that God uses to infuse His character and godliness on the depraved soul and body. Help us, O Lord to show this real care to our children, in a lost and dying world! Help, Lord! as many, as many...amen
