The Sheeple are Following a Straw Man

People are sheep for the most part, they need a righteous leader who not only is an example himself but also calls for repentance. Trump is not that leader! Yes, I have to say what he says is better than what our former president has said, but neither president promoted holiness or repentance.

Our nation is deeply divided but not the ungodly against the godly, but rather the ungodly liberal against the ungodly conservative. The ideas of the conservatives make better sense in many ways, than those of the liberals, but the unholiness of most in each group is exactly the same, rebellion against God through the tolerance and even embracing their favorite sins.

I don't hate Trump, as some have intimated, but I don't elevate him either as more special than all the other leaders we have had down through the years. He is just better at motivational speaking. People often ignore the subtle clues of the unrighteousness of a man to focus on getting the things that they feel will make them wealthy and safe.

The sins in the country far outweigh anything Trump promises to provide, they override the physical things. Is God going to be happy about building a wall, no He wants repentance toward Him.

Does God care about jobs, wealth and freedom, no, He wants repentance and righteousness.

Acts 3:19
"Repent therefore, and turn again, that your sins may be blotted out,"

Luke 13:3
"No, I tell you; but unless you repent, you will all likewise perish."

It is God's will for America to repent from porn, abortion, drug addiction, filthy movies, freedom to do every kind of evil including same sex marriage, divorce and remarriage and every other sin that America does not want to let go of.

I heard no proclamation last night in President Trump's speech that he was going to stop the murdering of millions of babies. All the sins we have engaged in as a nation are not being dealt with, sadly many people will be happy with this status quo, pretending that things have changed when little will until the people repent. Are the people repenting on their own without leadership, NO, they go deeper into their sin, deeper and deeper, even while they get their wall, their wealth, their jobs and their healthcare.

We did not elect a "pastor", so what if we did not, it is still God's will that the leaders of a country promote righteousness. God is showing us now just how gullible the people will be when the real anti-christ comes on the scene, promising all the "things" they want, while at the same time promoting all the sin they want.

There was a time when the nation of Israel had God as their leader, they didn't want that, they wanted a human leader like all the other nations and it cost them dearly. This is where we are in our nation today, we want a human leader that gives us all the things that we think will make us happy and safe, but not willing to give up any of the sins we enjoy.

The people who are enamored with our new president choose to overlook all the clues that this man, in his present state, is not going to promote righteousness while on a third marriage, owning gambling casinos with mostly naked lap dancers, and alcohol is big business for this man.

He might get some of the things that we want, but he is not righteous, to hold him up as one who will cause God to bless us and make us great again is foolishness at best. Our goal should not be to become great again, our goal should be to be holy and trusting Christ.

Saving the nation from illegals, giving us more jobs and better healthcare sound good, but they pale in comparison to our monstrous sins against God.

President Trump can quote Bible verse and pray to God, but if he does not promote righteousness, God is not going to bless a nation that will not turn from it's sins.

John 9:31 "31 We know that God does not listen to sinners, but He does listen to the one who worships Him and does His will."

The prosperity preachers believe their prayer for a new president was answered, and perhaps it was, but sadly their focus was prosperity, now God is going to show them that saving our country as it is without repentance is only going to lead to greater sin and more acceptance of sin.

Matthew 15:8 “…7 You hypocrites! Isaiah prophesied correctly about you: 8‘These people honor Me with their lips, but their hearts are far from Me. 9They worship Me in vain; they teach as doctrine the precepts of men.’”…
