NO ONE WON THE ELECTION

It is the day after the election, and fifty percent of the American voters (including the illegal aliens, felons, and the dead), have spoken.  One side celebrates victory and the other side feels their way of life will be destroyed.  Neither view is correct!  First of all, there is no victory in a nation divided.  And, the U.S. Constitution, which the losing side seemed to ignore, guarantees them "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness."  Once again, each of the three branches of government will have the opportunity to provide protection from the over-reach of power of the others (something totally missing of late).  America has been given "a second chance" at being a "melting-pot" rather than a "stove of many pans!"  However, the problem, the real problem with America cannot be fixed by a new government.  America, like the rest of our chaotic world, is filled with those described in the following Bible passage!  Based upon these five verses, America is more likely to have an assassination before it has a inauguration! 

2 TIMOTHY 3:1-5 New Living Translation

"You should know this, Timothy, that in the last days there will be very difficult times.  For people will love only themselves and their money. They will be boastful and proud, scoffing at God, disobedient to their parents, and ungrateful. They will consider nothing sacred.  They will be unloving and unforgiving; they will slander others and have no self-control. They will be cruel and hate what is good.  They will betray their friends, be reckless, be puffed up with pride, and love pleasure rather than God.  They will act religious, but they will reject the power that could make them godly. Stay away from people like that!"

2 TIMOTHY 3:1-5 New International Version

"But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days.  People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God—having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with such people."

2 TIMOTHY 3:1-5 King James Version

"This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.  For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, traitors, heady, high-minded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away."

If you prayed before the election, actually believing your candidate will solve America's problems, you have a great deal of disappointment ahead.  We are about to see the character qualities mentioned above, loosed upon our own government, our churches, and within our own families! 

 

PRAY THAT GOD WILL HAVE MERCY ON THOSE YOU LOVE, AND PROTECT THEM FROM THOSE EVENTS THE BIBLE TELLS US ARE COMING!
