What staggers me all the time is that pro-abortion activists like these actually accuse pro-life people of hate! HATE!? Yet they are quite happy to support the actual taking of life. It has to be an utter blindness. Utter blindness. How can they be that confused?
On my Facebook feed this morning someone had posted with reference to Trump’s departure and the inauguration of Joe Biden, “Good riddance the world can breathe again“
That struck me immediately as an unintentionally sick, certainly ironic statement with COVID still being so dominant all over the world and hundreds of thousands dying because they can’t breathe.
It is a tragic irony that the phrase that 2020 will be remembered for is “I can’t breathe“.
Possibly long after George Floyd is forgotten the phrase may live on as the epitaph of the Corona Virus.
Meanwhile, and this is day two of the Biden administration, on the theme of breathing. . . . . . Thousands upon thousands of babies will never get to breathe at all thanks to the inhumanity of Biden et al.
Perhaps my abiding (Abiden?) memories of this last year will be these.
First the hypocrisy of those who praise the violence, hatred and vulgarity of one group of mainly young people as being progressive and justified, whilst condemning similar actions by clearly frustrated and mainly older people. Goose and Gander never was true.
The second will be the uproar, the virtue signalling, the horror expressed over the death of one man as a result of an officer’s negligence (possibly intent) and drug induced complications during an arrest, leading to the burning of whole neighbourhoods, the storming of police stations, the cursing and swearing, the hatred, the social media cancelling. Meanwhile the deaths of millions of babies are sponsored and applauded.
Be not misled, this is a sick world, full of sin. God’s mercy and indeed some might see apparent disinterest, in withholding his hand is more than remarkable.
Unless one interprets the election going the way that it did as God’s judgement on a nation which in short only cares for personal pleasure!
You know how it goes. One minute you’re watching Nancy Pelosi on YouTube, the next up pops John Cleese!
So I was musing on the fact that Nancy Pelosi referred to the Capitol as “The Temple of our American democracy” and the implications of that mindset when I then hear John Cleese rather irreverently talking about Jesus clearing the temple!
When Jesus “cleared the Temple” he did act rather out of character, enraged by the abuse of that “House of Prayer” – His Father’s house. He behaved in a way that in today’s terminology many will have thought as unacceptable, politically incorrect (!), disrespectful and even violent. Someone might have said “unprecedented in our history” or at least “not since the Romans” (insert British!).
A couple of days before the “storming of the Capitol” a session of the Senate opened in prayer to multiple gods, not just the true God. You will remember the one, he acknowledged Brahma amongst others and ended with “Amen” and “Awoman” (which he says was meant as a joke). Could it just be that it was enough to open the doors of the Capitol to the “mob”? Possibly. The “Founding Fathers” would have believed firmly that “Thou shalt have no foreign gods” and “No gods before me“.
So here’s my observation. If the Capitol is viewed as a “Temple of Democracy” then they have turned to the false worship of a man made ideology. I have always struggled with Americans saluting their flag and not letting it touch the ground. It is as if it is sacrosanct, holy, set apart.
The Houses of Representatives and Senate should be there to represent (the clue is in the name) and defend the people of the United States and to uphold law and order on their behalf that they might live in peace. This last year has demonstrated a complete failure to do that across American cities. It is very easy when you have #WealthPrivilege to ignore the needs of ordinary people, especially the poor.
I was bewildered by the outrage that was expressed by the demonstrators entering the “temple” and worse still even the “sanctuary”! It is just a building at the end of the day. Representatives and Senators are just people.
The Old Testament is full of the history of Israel turning away from God and reaping the results of that, usually in military defeat and enslavement. Those accounts were recorded that future generations might not repeat the error.
Can we hope and pray that what has occurred will be a sobering moment to reflect on what sort of nation America wants to be and see a genuine return to honouring God.
You cannot have a leader that thinks only of himself and uses others, including it would seem God, for his own ends, even if he does a lot of good along the way.
I reckon we’ve just lost a sheep in wolf’s clothing in exchange for s wolf in sheep’s clothing. Let’s hope and pray not.
Christians beware.
Actually, listening to the whole prayer Emanuel was doing well. A long coherent “christian” prayer. An immense shame therefore that he ended the way that he did, and there is no indication in the tone of his voice that he was making a small joke about political correctness. Possibly he had been handed a script and then adlibbed the end!https://www.youtube.com/embed/qgI8HL7J4Ns?feature=oembed
BTW, speaking of unfortunate prayers, I had no idea that this had happened 6 years ago! What damage did that do?https://www.youtube.com/embed/fVXhyvgXf-E?feature=oembed
