[Faith-talk] The State We're In

[Linda Mentink]

Hi All,

I've been without email all day, but I wanted to come in here and 
share a couple thoughts.

Our country is a mess, Christians are a mess, good is called evil 
and evil good.  The Bible warns that there will be perilous times 
ahead, and we're in them now.  I would urge all here to pray for 
each other, our pastors, our church members, our country's 
leaders including President Trump, and the persecuted Christians 
around the world.  We will be among those persecuted sooner than 
later.  It's already starting here in America, and it's only 
going to get worse until Christ comes for His own.

Donald Trump was not my first choice for our president during the 
primaries, but he was on election day.  It was clear: vote for 
Hillary Clinton who was under investigation for her part in many 
things that were covered up and lied about when she was Secretary 
of State, and Donald Trump, who was willing to stand up to the 
liberal media and call them out for their unfair treatment of the 
Republican candidates.  He's not squeaky clean, but remember, we 
weren't electing a pastor; we were electing a leader who would 
want to make America great again, and put America's security high 
up on his priority list.  He has a lot of people against him who 
are being paid by George Sorrose (I don't know how to spell it) 
to be violent, and many don't even know why they're doing what 
they're being paid to do.  And remember, Hillary put Christians 
in her basket of deplorables, and said that we were going to have 
to change our beliefs.  And now she wants to be a pastor! Give me 
a break!

Also, Christian groups are now on Poverty Law Center's list of 
hate groups because they are against abortion and 
homosexuality/transgenerism.  So, yes, we are already being 
persecuted here in these United States.  We Christians need to 
stay close to our Lord, read and study our Bibles to know Him 
better, pray, and stand up for our Lord and His people.  Don't 
let your disability stand in your way.  They'll be trying to get 
rid of us sooner than later, too, because they want a perfect 
world with no disabilities and no diseases.  It makes me weary to 
think about it, in a way; but in another way, excited.  Things 
are not falling apart, but they are falling into place for the 
rapture soon to come.  Depend upon God, not the White House! And 
share Christ with anyone who will listen, as the time is short.

May God give us discernment, strength, courage and whatever else 
we need during these last days, and His peace which passes all 
understanding!

Blessings,

Linda
