Time to Focus on Christ!!!
I agree with all this, now we can stop focusing on the country we live in and the inheritance we have as well as speaking to others about what is coming and their need for Christ.
I am convinced God is not going to save America but He can and will save those who believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, to save them not for this world but for eternity.

"I never dreamed that I would have to face the prospect of not living in the United States of America.
Today I woke up and as I had my morning breakfast I realized that everything is about to change. No matter how I vote, no matter what I say, something evil has invaded our nation, and our lives are never going to be the same.
I look at people I have known all my life so filled with hate that they will agree with opinions that, if they were in their right minds, would never express as their own. It's absolutely unbelievable. I think that I may well have entered the Twilight Zone.....then I saw this and I think that it's pretty close to describing how I feel.
I'm not starting a fight, but it is something to think about. This may open up a ton of outraged comments by some. Many who will argue how "wrong" this post is. My suggestion, save your time and effort! You're not changing the reality of what we are living by trying to somehow justify this insanity.
Nevertheless, I couldn't resist because we are becoming the Twilight Zone. We have become a nation that has lost its collective mind!
• Defunding police is actually happening.
• Systemic racism is everywhere but no one knows what or where it is.
• If a dude pretends to be a woman, you are required to pretend with him.
• Somehow it’s un-American for the census to count how many Americans are in America.
• Russians influencing our elections are bad, but illegals voting in our elections are good.
• It was cool for Joe Biden to "blackmail" the President of Ukraine, but it’s an impeachable offense if Donald Trump inquires about it.
• Twenty is too young to drink a beer, but eighteen is old enough to vote.
• People who have never owned slaves should pay slavery reparations to people who have never been slaves.
• Inflammatory rhetoric is outrageous, but harassing people in restaurants is virtuous.
• People who have never been to college should pay the debts of college students who took out huge loans for their degrees.
• Immigrants with tuberculosis and polio are welcome, but you’d better be able to prove your dog is vaccinated.
• Irish doctors and German engineers who want to immigrate must go through a rigorous vetting process, but any illiterate gang-bangers who jump the southern fence are welcome.
• $5 billion for border security is too expensive, but $1.5 trillion for “free” health care is not.
• If you cheat to get into college you go to prison, but if you cheat to get into the country you go to college for free.
• People who say there is no such thing as gender are demanding a female President.
• We see other countries going Socialist and collapsing, but it seems like a great plan to us.
• Some people are held responsible for things that happened before they were born, and other people are not held responsible for what they are doing right now.
• Criminals are catch-and-released to hurt more people, but stopping them is bad because it's a violation of THEIR rights.
• And pointing out all this hypocrisy somehow makes us "racists"?!
Nothing makes sense anymore, no values, no morals, no civility, and people are dying of a Chinese virus, but it racist to refer to it as Chinese even though it began in China.
We are clearly living in an upside-down world where right is wrong and wrong is right, where moral is immoral and immoral is moral, where good is evil and evil is good, where killing murderers is wrong, but killing innocent babies is right, where darkness is light and light is now darkness.
Wake up America, the great unsinkable ship Titanic America has hit an iceberg, is taking on water and sinking fast. The choice is yours to make. What will it be? Time is short, make your choice wisely!
Not my words but very accurate and disturbing!
Feel free to copy and paste. I did."

Time of Weeping will soon be Over for the Born Again Believer
When things get tough or you cannot avoid someone or something in your life that brings you pain, do you give up or do you keep going?
The sign of strength in a believer is the ability to cry when needed to relieve stress and get up after to begin doing what is needed. Those who are strong admit their pain, cry over it from time to time and continue on the path God has given for them.
Psalm 30:5
"For His anger is but for a moment,
His favor is for a lifetime;
Weeping may last for the night,
But a shout of joy comes in the morning."
Jesus Christ cares about our tears.
John 11:33
"When Jesus saw her weeping, and the Jews who had come with her also weeping, he was deeply moved in his spirit and greatly troubled."
Psalm 56:8Psalm 56:8
"You have kept count of my tossings; put my tears in your bottle. Are they not in your book?"
Even the Patriarchs wept!
Genesis 43:30
"Then Joseph hurried out, for his compassion grew warm for his brother, and he sought a place to weep. And he entered his chamber and wept there."
Even the Matriarchs wept!
John 20:11
"But Mary stood weeping outside the tomb, and as she wept she stooped to look into the tomb."
Even Jesus Christ the Lord wept!
Luke 19:41
"And when he drew near and saw the city, he wept over it,"
When this life is over for the believer the time of weeping and mourning will be over and then we will laugh and dance.
Ecclesiastes 3:4
"A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance;"
The time of weeping will be over soon for those who love the Lord Jesus Christ.
Revelation 5:5
"And one of the elders said to me, “Weep no more; behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has conquered so that he can open the scroll and its seven seals.”

Whose Community Standards?
I am convinced there is a concerted effort to exclude and block Christians from the media. Just recently I was told I would not be considered for advertising on my blog because what I wrote did "not hold to community standards."
I am quite sure many of you who are my friends are being excluded from expressing your thoughts and ideas in an attempt to sensor Christianity.
Those in control exclude in various ways, one of which is discrediting what you post by claiming through the "fact-checkers" that your post in your status is false.
I see now that these mediums are free, not charging anyone money, allowing the controllers the privilege of censoring anything that does not meet with their agenda.
We can see how our world is moving rapidly toward the tribulation in which all believers will be threatened with death if they speak the truth of Christ.
I remember a day as a child when tv censored evil things, now it is evil that is being protected and good that is being censored.
Romans 12:9
"Let love be genuine. Abhor what is evil; hold fast to what is good."
Isaiah 5:20
"Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter!"
Matthew 24:12
"And because lawlessness will be increased, the love of many will grow cold."
Ephesians 6:13
"Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand firm."

What is an Idol?
What is an idol? Answer this question in all honesty and we are likely to make changes in our lives!
An idol is anything we love more, trust more, fear more and defend more than we do God.
Some idols can be material possessions, tv shows, famous people, famous leaders even church leaders.
Other idols may be friends or family members who do not love the Lord.
If we cannot walk away from things and people who detract us from our walk with Christ then we have idols.
1 Corinthians 10:13-15 "13 No temptation has overtaken you but such as is common to man; and God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will provide the way of escape also, so that you will be able to endure it.
14 Therefore, my beloved, flee from idolatry. 15 I speak as to wise men; you judge what I say."
1 John 5:19-21 "19 We know that we are of God, and that the whole world lies in the power of the evil one.
20 And we know that the Son of God has come, and has given us understanding so that we may know Him who is true; and we are in Him who is true, in His Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God and eternal life.
21 Little children, guard yourselves from idols."
