Democrats will stick with Biden illustration by Alexander Hunter/ The Washington Times
Since this place came about with the sole intent of spreading the gospel, being a place for people seeking the Lord, finding Scripture, hymns, news, and articles pertaining to current and historical events to help, to comfort, to confirm to any who may doubt the Word of God that everything — EVERYTHING — in the Holy Bible is true. In fact, it’s the only book ever written that is 100% true as it is the God-breathed words to select men over a period of around 1,500 years. With consistency contrary to what the ministers of Satan say.
Since this place came about with that in heart, spirit, soul and mind it is imperative that as Americans, if one and reading this in the States or overseas, that we take an active role in the politics of our nation.
Politics have been and will be presented here. Politics plays a part in every individual’s life. It’s actually political where you decide to eat every meal and what food is on the plate before you.
The thing is — balance. Perspective. Logic. Reason. Critical thinking. Objectivity. Understanding it is the spiritual, it is where our eternal spirits and souls will reside, it is whether or not we are citizens of heaven rather than citizens of America or another nation on this earth that will pass away and be forever forgotten. It is about what we know and believe about Jesus.
It’s all about God.
It’s all about the Lord Jesus Christ.
It’s all about the Holy Spirit.
It’s all about the Holy Bible. The whole Holy Bible.
And America, our day-to-day fit right in whether believing or not for we are living in Biblical times that can be easily, plainly seen in the reading and understanding — the BELIEF IN GOD’S WORD.
Jesus was political. NOT a social justice warrior as the ministers of Satan now declare and attempt to corrupt the Lord and lower Him, but He was political before the Sanhedrin, before the religious leaders He interacted with, and with the Roman officials He interacted with, and with the people He encountered.
This is not to say or begin to think or believe that America, any election, any politician, or political action taken by an individual or a group is in any way equal to or of more importance with keeping our eyes, hearts, and minds on heaven. On Yeshua HaMashiach, the Lord Jesus Christ, and within the whole of the Holy Bible.
That said, do you truly believe every word within the Word of God?
Then;
For the time has come for judgment to begin at the house of God; and if it begins with us first, what will be the end of those who do not obey the gospel of God?
1 Peter 4:17
The outcome of the upcoming election will not either save or destroy America. The salvation or destruction of America lies in the hands of God — based upon our wickedness or our repentance. Based upon our faith or our blatant turning from Him, His Son, the Holy Spirit, and our corrupting and perverting the inerrant infallible living and active Word of God.
It is up to more, MUCH MORE than who is selected on the electronic voting machines come November. It will be decided in the hearts, in the lives lived out either for the Lord and His Word or for this world and he who has dominion here for a season, the devil. Not according to Donald Trump or Joe Biden.
Keep that in mind every moment you harken to listening to the voice within that this election will determine the eternal fate of America and that Mr. Trump is the savior and Mr. Biden the devil.
Mr. Biden only works for the devil. He is not Satan.
And Mr. Trump is not God. Not even a god. However far too many people idolize him and make him one in their lost minds.
Whatever church or denomination you belong to it is an offshoot of the early first century churches. Ephesus, Corinth, Thessalonica, Galatia, Smyrna, Pergamos, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia, or Laodicea.
Every word of every letter written to every early church, every word spoken to the apostle John by Jesus in the Revelation fits every church today. Nothing is ancient. Except for the failure to think. The failure to believe. The failure to serve the Lord as we ought.
The Loveless Church
“To the angel of the church of Ephesus write,
‘These things says He who holds the seven stars in His right hand, who walks in the midst of the seven golden lampstands: “I know your works, your labor, your patience, and that you cannot bear those who are evil. And you have tested those who say they are apostles and are not, and have found them liars; and you have persevered and have patience, and have labored for My name’s sake and have not become weary. Nevertheless I have this against you, that you have left your first love. Remember therefore from where you have fallen; repent and do the first works, or else I will come to you quickly and remove your lampstand from its place—unless you repent. But this you have, that you hate the deeds of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate.
“He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes I will give to eat from the tree of life, which is in the midst of the Paradise of God.” ’
The Persecuted Church
“And to the angel of the church in Smyrna write,
‘These things says the First and the Last, who was dead, and came to life: “I know your works, tribulation, and poverty (but you are rich); and I know the blasphemy of those who say they are Jews and are not, but are a synagogue of Satan. Do not fear any of those things which you are about to suffer. Indeed, the devil is about to throw some of you into prison, that you may be tested, and you will have tribulation ten days. Be faithful until death, and I will give you the crown of life.
“He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. He who overcomes shall not be hurt by the second death.” ’
The Compromising Church
“And to the angel of the church in Pergamos write,
‘These things says He who has the sharp two-edged sword: “I know your works, and where you dwell, where Satan’s throne is. And you hold fast to My name, and did not deny My faith even in the days in which Antipas was My faithful martyr, who was killed among you, where Satan dwells. But I have a few things against you, because you have there those who hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balak to put a stumbling block before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed to idols, and to commit sexual immorality. Thus you also have those who hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitans, which thing I hate. Repent, or else I will come to you quickly and will fight against them with the sword of My mouth.
“He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes I will give some of the hidden manna to eat. And I will give him a white stone, and on the stone a new name written which no one knows except him who receives it.” ’
The Corrupt Church
“And to the angel of the church in Thyatira write,
‘These things says the Son of God, who has eyes like a flame of fire, and His feet like fine brass: “I know your works, love, service, faith, and your patience; and as for your works, the last are more than the first. Nevertheless I have a few things against you, because you allow that woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess, to teach and seduce My servants to commit sexual immorality and eat things sacrificed to idols. And I gave her time to repent of her sexual immorality, and she did not repent. Indeed I will cast her into a sickbed, and those who commit adultery with her into great tribulation, unless they repent of their deeds. I will kill her children with death, and all the churches shall know that I am He who searches the minds and hearts. And I will give to each one of you according to your works.
“Now to you I say, and to the rest in Thyatira, as many as do not have this doctrine, who have not known the depths of Satan, as they say, I will put on you no other burden. But hold fast what you have till I come. And he who overcomes, and keeps My works until the end, to him I will give power over the nations—
‘He shall rule them with a rod of iron;
They shall be dashed to pieces like the potter’s vessels’—
as I also have received from My Father; and I will give him the morning star.
“He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.” ’
The Dead Church
“And to the angel of the church in Sardis write,
‘These things says He who has the seven Spirits of God and the seven stars: “I know your works, that you have a name that you are alive, but you are dead. Be watchful, and strengthen the things which remain, that are ready to die, for I have not found your works perfect before God. Remember therefore how you have received and heard; hold fast and repent. Therefore if you will not watch, I will come upon you as a thief, and you will not know what hour I will come upon you. You have a few names even in Sardis who have not defiled their garments; and they shall walk with Me in white, for they are worthy. He who overcomes shall be clothed in white garments, and I will not blot out his name from the Book of Life; but I will confess his name before My Father and before His angels.
“He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.” ’
The Faithful Church
“And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write,
‘These things says He who is holy, He who is true, “He who has the key of David, He who opens and no one shuts, and shuts and no one opens”: “I know your works. See, I have set before you an open door, and no one can shut it; for you have a little strength, have kept My word, and have not denied My name. Indeed I will make those of the synagogue of Satan, who say they are Jews and are not, but lie—indeed I will make them come and worship before your feet, and to know that I have loved you. Because you have kept My command to persevere, I also will keep you from the hour of trial which shall come upon the whole world, to test those who dwell on the earth. Behold, I am coming quickly! Hold fast what you have, that no one may take your crown. He who overcomes, I will make him a pillar in the temple of My God, and he shall go out no more. I will write on him the name of My God and the name of the city of My God, the New Jerusalem, which comes down out of heaven from My God. And I will write on him My new name.
“He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.” ’
The Lukewarm Church
“And to the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write,
‘These things says the Amen, the Faithful and True Witness, the Beginning of the creation of God: “I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I could wish you were cold or hot. So then, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will vomit you out of My mouth. Because you say, ‘I am rich, have become wealthy, and have need of nothing’—and do not know that you are wretched, miserable, poor, blind, and naked— I counsel you to buy from Me gold refined in the fire, that you may be rich; and white garments, that you may be clothed, that the shame of your nakedness may not be revealed; and anoint your eyes with eye salve, that you may see. As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten. Therefore be zealous and repent. Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me. To him who overcomes I will grant to sit with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne.
“He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.” ’ ”
Revelation 2 & 3
For the time has come for judgment to begin at the house of God; and if it begins with us first, what will be the end of those who do not obey the gospel of God?

Democrats will stick with Biden
It is almost impossible to replace him
Thursday, July 4, 2024
by Scott Walker
Reprinted from The Washington Times
OPINION:
President Biden will be the Democratic nominee for president of the United States. The race will be much closer than many people think. Former President Donald Trump can be victorious, but it will take message discipline to win over swing voters in battleground states like mine, Wisconsin.
Despite the meltdown by liberal pundits in the week since Mr. Biden’s terrible debate performance, Democratic political insiders largely stuck with the incumbent. Former President Barack Obama’s post on X, reminding people that he, too, had a bad first debate, sent a clear message to the party faithful.
Campaign finance laws make it nearly impossible to transfer the financial advantage that the Biden-Harris campaign has over Mr. Trump’s campaign. (I just saw a third ad for Mr. Biden during the Brewers broadcast as I typed this column.) Vice President Kamala Harris could use the funds, but I don’t hear pundits calling for her to replace the 81-year-old president. The financial advantage is a major reason for sticking with the incumbent.
On top of that, a party dominated by identity politics cannot leapfrog the first Black woman to serve as vice president with a White man — or likely even a White woman. In my opinion, former first lady Michelle Obama is the only person with the profile to replace Mr. Biden and win both the nomination and the general election.
Seeing Hillary Clinton’s fall from grace should be a vivid reminder to Mrs. Obama to stay out of electoral politics. She and her husband enjoy high levels of respect that have translated into financial security through book deals, streaming rights and speaking fees. Why would the Obamas risk losing those benefits after years of struggles?
Unless Mr. Biden announces he is not running, it is almost impossible to replace him. He won about 3,900 of the roughly 4,000 delegates to the Democratic National Convention. It would be the height of hypocrisy for the party running on saving democracy to encourage delegates to vote against the candidate who overwhelmingly won a majority of the primaries and caucuses.
Mr. Biden is not going to withdraw. He would rather gnaw his arm off than willingly give up the Oval Office. He had to drop out of the 1988 presidential race in disgrace over his 1987 plagiarism scandal. Most would have exited politics. Instead, Mr. Biden ran again in 2008. Amazingly, then-Sen. Obama picked him to join the ticket, which resuscitated Mr. Biden’s chances of a future run. Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton pushed him out in 2016, and most wrote him off in 2020. Somehow, Mr. Biden made it to the nomination in the year of COVID-19. He and first lady Jill Biden are not backing away from their power.
Supporters of Mr. Trump should not start celebrating just yet. While Mr. Biden’s debate performance was awful, his comments were pretty good on the day after the debate. American voters and the media love to tear candidates down, but they love comebacks, too. (Remember Bill Clinton, the “Comeback Kid”?)
In his speech in North Carolina, the president acknowledged that he wasn’t young anymore and that he wasn’t as good of a debater as he was years ago, but he said he would tell the truth. Voters like that kind of candor. Undecided voters in swing states appreciate it even more, and they will likely sway the election.
With this in mind, Mr. Trump must focus on reaching these critical voters. Most of them were with him in 2016, and many of them bolted in 2020. He can win them back, but he needs message discipline.
First, acknowledge that it is sad to see Mr. Biden’s state of mind. The best line of the debate came when he said that he had hoped Mr. Biden would be a great president and that he would not be running if he was actually that good.
After saying that the situation is sad for the country, Mr. Trump should look at the voters and tell them that he will focus on the issues that really matter to Americans — high prices, border security and public safety. Repeat these issues over and over. He can make inroads with swing voters.
A nationwide poll released this week by Young America’s Foundation shows that the economy is the top issue among college students. Only 30% of college students approve of Mr. Biden’s job performance. They overwhelmingly believe that he is not competent to hold the highest office in the land, which is a big problem for Democrats.
That said, Mr. Biden will be the nominee. He still has a shot of winning (with major help from the media). But Mr. Trump can seal the deal with swing voters by showing empathy toward the cognitive challenges of the incumbent. Then, he should lay out his plans to make America affordable, secure and safe again.
• Scott Walker is president of Young America’s Foundation and served as the 45th governor of Wisconsin from 2011 to 2019.
