While listening to Glenn Beck’s radio program the other day, he mentioned that the Progressive movement within our government needs to see conservatives react violently in order for them to have room to condemn us and portray us as evil. Instead, GB read this scripture which is perfect to hold with us as we are standing steadfast in truth:
2 Timothy 2:24-26 – 24And the Lord’s servant must not quarrel; instead, he must be kind to everyone, able to teach, not resentful. 25Those who oppose him he must gently instruct, in the hope that God will grant them repentance leading them to a knowledge of the truth, 26and that they will come to their senses and escape from the trap of the devil, who has taken them captive to do his will.
We know the end of the story. Everything that is happening in this world has been laid out as the plan of God. So what is our role? We need to be on our knees in order to find God’s purpose for our lives. Each one of us was born at this time in history for a reason. Once God reveals our purpose, we need to ACT! We can either ignore our God-given purpose and continue to go on about life like nothing’s going to happen or we can be mighty warriors of God to bring people to repentance, understanding, and grace.
Please be praying wholeheartedly, studying the Word, and researching the truth about our government and the things that are taking place in our world today. War is looming in Israel, Iran will have nuclear power soon (thanks to Russia), and Lebanon is crushing all remaining traces of Christianity. Through all of this, no one is sure what side America is on. Is Israel friend or foe? They must be our friend.
How many of us our willing to die for God and Country? I know I am.

One more thought from Glenn: “If we believe that God, indeed, had His hand on the creation of our country, don’t you think He is interested in its future?”
Amen and amen.
Praise be to the Lord our God who will deliver us from evil! …But we must choose His side and act upon it. And, if anyone asks us why we fight, we shall remind them of Paul’s defense of his ministry in 2 Corinthians 10:
By the meekness and gentleness of Christ, I appeal to you—I, Paul, who am “timid” when face to face with you, but “bold” when away! I beg you that when I come I may not have to be as bold as I expect to be toward some people who think that we live by the standards of this world. For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does. The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ. And we will be ready to punish every act of disobedience, once your obedience is complete.
You are looking only on the surface of things. If anyone is confident that he belongs to Christ, he should consider again that we belong to Christ just as much as he. For even if I boast somewhat freely about the authority the Lord gave us for building you up rather than pulling you down, I will not be ashamed of it. I do not want to seem to be trying to frighten you with my letters. For some say, “His letters are weighty and forceful, but in person he is unimpressive and his speaking amounts to nothing.” Such people should realize that what we are in our letters when we are absent, we will be in our actions when we are present.
We do not dare to classify or compare ourselves with some who commend themselves. When they measure themselves by themselves and compare themselves with themselves, they are not wise. We, however, will not boast beyond proper limits, but will confine our boasting to the field God has assigned to us, a field that reaches even to you. We are not going too far in our boasting, as would be the case if we had not come to you, for we did get as far as you with the gospel of Christ. Neither do we go beyond our limits by boasting of work done by others. Our hope is that, as your faith continues to grow, our area of activity among you will greatly expand, so that we can preach the gospel in the regions beyond you. For we do not want to boast about work already done in another man’s territory. But, “Let him who boasts boast in the Lord.” For it is not the one who commends himself who is approved, but the one whom the Lord commends.
Peace be with you all.
