Accounts

God doesn’t settle accounts on Friday.

The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance” (2Peter 3:9).

Yet, there will be a DAY when all opportunity will have passed, for He has set a singular DAY in all eternity when He will settle accounts, i.e., “that DAY.”

And the songs of the temple shall be howlings in that day, saith the Lord GOD: there shall be many dead bodies in every place; they shall cast them forth with silence…. And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the Lord GOD, that I will cause the sun to go down at noon, and I will darken the earth in the clear day (Amos_8:3-9)

How can I be saved?

The Best of Times, The Worst of Times

“It was the time of unraveling. Long afterward, in the ruins, people asked: How could it happen?… It was a time of disorientation. Nobody connected the dots or read Kipling on life’s few certainties: “The Dog returns to his Vomit and the Sow returns to her Mire / And the burnt Fool’s bandaged finger goes wabbling back to the Fire.” Until it was too late and people could see the Great Unraveling for what it was and what it had wrought.” (Roger Cohen,The Great Unraveling, The New York Times, SEPT. 15, 2014).

"It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to Heaven, we were all going direct the other way....” So begins A Tale of Two Cities in “the year of Our Lord one thousand seven hundred and seventy-five.” A tale of nations and souls when it was "the best of times, it was the worst of times.”

There is yet coming a day, unlike any other day, a final day, when the Judge of all the earth will judge. For some "the best of times." For some "the worst of times."

Black Liberation Theology

That young man from Ferguson was lamentably the "consummation” of the tenants of Black Liberation Theology: arrogance, rage, anarchy, and death. He was dead long before the first shot was fired!

“My son, if sinners entice thee, consent thou not. If they say, Come with us, let us lay wait for blood, let us lurk privily for the innocent without cause… Let us swallow them up alive as the grave;… We shall find all precious substance, we shall fill our houses with spoil… My son, walk not thou in the way with them… For their feet run to evil, and make haste to shed blood…. they lay wait for their own blood; they lurk privily for their own lives” (Proverbs 1:10-18).

Der Übermensch

A conservative writer recently raised the question: "Should the President be impeached?" The question is not IF but CAN!

The President has ingratiated himself to every nation of the world at the expense of his own. He has succoured media collaboration, consolidated a consensual military by purge, and amalgamated what is essentially a single party system. In addition he has been uncontested in superseding the constitution, and at discretion has constitutionally endowed emergency powers i.e., a legal form of martial law. And the "Snowden factor" i.e., the ultimate power that comes from knowing the thoughts and intents of the heart of every cyber-connected soul on earth. Something a "Watergate" world could never imagine in it wildest dream.

He has amassed a political infrastructure eclipsing "der Übermensch" and will retain the presidency until such a time that he distains it, or God ordains otherwise.

"Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God" (Romans 13:1).
