I think perhaps they are panicking and when idiot sociopaths panic, they make stupid mistakes. If the top tier money elite are now backing Establishment Team B, i.e. the Trump team, then that would be a good reason the Marxists are panicking. Just thinking out loud.

1) The assumption is that the top tier money is always 'our favorite people who can never be criticized'. This alone makes the whole thing sociopathic and anti-Christian.

2) DeWife and I listened to this today at home. I cannot deny that in the main the message is correct. And also, the reason I think that Western Civilization absent real repentance can only collapse ... and with a catastrophic thump.

3) Here is the secular version of #2 above.

4) DeWife, the ever reliably incorrigible Hawk Eye told me something like this as spotted on X:

Elon Musk: Why is Christianity so toothless?

Andrew Torba (Gab): Because it went Judeo-Christian after WWII.

I kept looking at the blue tooth mic Pastor Matt was wearing over his heart cannot be healthy for his heart. He needs to go back to a wired microphone.

Pastor Matt is spot on. I learned 50 years ago from the book "The Irony of Democracy" (which I believe is an introduction to political theory for young elites and has never gone out of print) that the American political system is a Uniparty and the "two-party system" only exists to deceive the American people into thinking they have a choice. They don't. It's a uniparty and the "the lesser of two evils" syndrome is the result.

I never thought it through this far but if American churches and their congregations removed themselves from the political process of "no choice", we would eventually become a sizable political force to contend with - just because of our absence from the political scene. IE, we refuse to be co-opted. As Pastor points out, we are currently motivated by fear to chose the lesser of. That's NOT what God's Word teaches us. Refuse to cater to fear and instead stand for His law and righteousness - and here's the clincher - AND TRUST IN CHRIST TO RULE HISTORY from His throne in heaven ("but but but...the end times!"). Substitute trust for fear. That's the formula.

Well, there it is. Maybe 1% of all pastors would understand that and then only 1% of their flock. To my mind, the real key to his sermon was his opening point that national repentance will only come about through Judgement. He took the words right out of my mouth. This is exactly why I have been saying that a reckoning of God's judgment IS coming to America. After that, then the American churches will be ready to hear the rest of his sermon.

That's how I see it. Hard times are coming for everyone and there will be no express train "rapture" of escape.

Basically, I see it the same way.

However, that voting was massive in 2020 enabled people to see for themselves how worthless the entire rigged vote. That we are now a Banana Republic is now a self-evident truth.

The Republican Party and its platform are an abomination. No way around it.

Correct me if I'm wrong but in regards to marriage, I think the root problem is that marriage is regulated and licensed by the State. That should not be. Marriage and the family should not be controlled by the state. It's the same thing with incorporation of churches. The church should never be subject to the state. Family and church are separate, independent spheres of government. What we have done is made civil government the ruler of all. Totally wrong. "One ring to rule them all."

Argument over homosexual marriage is pointless. If two people of the same sex want to "get married", they can draw up a contract and move in together and call it a marriage. But we know it is not and it is not recognized by the church. With the Gov't in control of licensing a marriage, that is simply an avenue for the perverts to force their view through the Gov't on the rest of us and require churches to perform such "marriages". The problem is not the homosexuals. The problem is the Gov't control.

Pastor Matt touched on something right out of the box: State Governors hiding behind "judicial supremacy" and using it as an excuse to avoid their responsibilities of office. Bam! Gov DeSantis and the bio-weapon shot.
