leaving the City of Destruction...

Do you know about the City of Destruction and what famous literary character left it, and what he left it for?

It took me a very long time to extract my emotions and intellect from the concerns of politicians, and the concerns of those who bribe them with contributions and then lobby them for special treatment.

It is a very dangerous thing to preach the gospel and run for office, or to preach and take a side with one party or another. Almost any man or woman in power would do wonders IF they obeyed God. But I have never seen a politician I believed was faithful to God in public office. Prayer for them is the answer, for if they are elected or appointed or inherit power through a Royal family, it is God who holds them in the palm of His hand. Involving the church with political wars, and politics is war, can only set the congregants and congregations at war with each other. THAT is a sin against God. IT is a tool of Satan. Satan is the chief HE "that soweth discord among brethren," a sin that God HATES.

Proverbs 6
16 There are six things which Jehovah hateth; Yea, seven which are an abomination unto him:
17 Haughty eyes, a lying tongue, And hands that shed innocent blood;
18 A heart that deviseth wicked purposes, Feet that are swift in running to mischief,
19 A false witness that uttereth lies, And he that soweth discord among brethren.

IMHO, Martin Luther King would have been more effective staying in the pulpit and preaching the Gospel than in the street. Af Ams are no better off today for integration. The case can be made they are worse off by seeking the government tit rather than the Lord. And many white are worse off to for being dependent on the government and those whom the government taxes.

There is only ONE race the HUMAN race. All the strife over money and power for this that or the other ethnic family is plain and simply greed, be it the insatiable lust for what others have, or the stinginess which causes the rich to hoard goods and hold power. The bloodshed over things and power to have things has been false flagged by many so called just causes, but in the end there is strife between persons, families, cultures and nations because of the lust of the eyes, the lust of the flesh and the pride of life. Eve was deceived right along those three lines and Adam bought the ticket by eating with her.
