Remember the American dream? Gone now, wasn’t really that old. May she rest in peace. Latin - requiescat in pace.

But never give up on the One who delights to bring life out of really dead stuff, dreams, nations and people.

It was here, but now it’s history. 

Time is like a river. You cannot touch the water twice, because the flow that has passed will never pass again.

Franklin Graham was speaking at the First Baptist Church in Jacksonville, Florida, when he said “America will not come back.” He wrote – “The American dream ended on November 6th, 2012. The second term of Barack Obama has been the final nail in the coffin for the legacy of the white Christian males who discovered, explored, pioneered, settled and developed the greatest republic in the history of mankind. A coalition of blacks, Latinos, feminists, gays, government workers, union members, environmental extremists, the media, Hollywood, uninformed your people, the “forever needy,” the chronically unemployed, illegal aliens and other “fellow travelers” have ended Norman Rockwell’s America.

You will never again out-vote these people. It will take individual acts of defiance and massive displays of civil disobedience to get back the rights we have allowed them to take away. It will take zealots, not moderates and shy, not reach-across-the-aisle RINOs (Republicans in Name Only), to right this ship and restore our beloved country to its former status. People like me are completely politically irrelevant, and I will probably never again be able to legally comment on or concern myself with the aforementioned coalition, which has surrendered our culture, our heritage and our traditions without a shot being fired.

The Cocker Spaniel is off the front porch, the pit bull is in the back yard, the American Constitution has been replaced with Saul Alinsky’s “Rules for Radicals” and the likes of Chicago shyster David Axelrod, along with international socialist George Soros, had been pulling the strings on their beige puppet and have brought us Act II of the New World Order.

The curtain will come down but the damage has been done, the story has been told. Those who come after us will once again have to risk their lived, their fortunes and their sacred honor to bring back the Republic that this generation has timidly frittered away due to white guilt and political correctness.”

We hear from well-meaning teachers and friends often that people are good. You and I know there are a lot of decent people in America, but where does it say that? Jesus said only one is good.

Then a certain ruler asked Him, ‘Good Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?” “Why do you call Me good?’ Jesus replied. ‘No one is good except God alone.’”  Luke 18:18-19   

Man’s heart is “deceitful and desperately wicked” (Jeremiah 17:9). The Bible tells us that man is born dead in transgression and sin (Psalm 51:5, Psalm 58:3, Ephesians 2:1-5). The Bible teaches that because unregenerate man is “dead in transgressions” (Ephesians 2:5), he is held captive by a love for sin (John 3:19; John 8:34). Can people still turn to (repent) and trust (believe) in Christ? Yes.   

Let's return to the Lord. Let's get home before really dark. Let's come to...come back to Him and the Bible

Depravity happens. Has been here. For a long time. I too was part of the problem, but God forgave me. What a relief to bail on dead religion and find Christ. He was lookin' for me like a good Shepherd. He is one and does that. 

The spiritual condition of fallen man in this sin-cursed world is utterly hopeless (I was hopeless for 17 years).. our condition is hopeless apart from the living Christ of the Bible. 

But hope can be had.

Who today can be forgiven and saved spiritually? You, know.. born again spiritually?” (God uses those terms "saved" "born again" in the Bible. See John 3:3Blog)

Kurt, can hope still make a comeback? Can the Lord still pour out His Spirit? Can He send a fifth great awakening along with an authentic revival in answer to prayer.. to America or to your Land? Yes. He is our living hope. Together let's ask Him to.  

Of course the answer remains the same: “With people this is impossible, but with God all things are possible(Matthew 19:25-26).

Today.. over 10,000 Americans are trapped in Afghanistan still. They were given an email address and told to shelter in place. There'll probably be hostages taken like with the Iran hostage crisis, but perhaps email will help them? There's other airports nearby but.. is our POTUS flying all these military age men to the USA? YEP. I don't see any women or children on the planes. Fort Bliss in Texas is receiving many. Joe gave over $500 million for the Afghani refugees now, masks might come later. How many do you think are vaccinated?


Let's pray for our nation and those around the world: Father God, we praise you that you are sovereign over all things on this planet. This world gone crazy really needs you and I need you as well. We humbly ask you to send a biblical revival and an authentic spiritual Awakening. Please keep believers, and use us to save the lost as we point them to Jesus. Turn us back to you again Lord, turn us back to the truth of the Bible. Pour out your Spirit here like you've never done before.. I mean more and more and more. Your Word says You keep the wicked from reaching their goal. Please stop them right in their tracks- make their plans go awry. Protect the innocent in their path. Be their hiding place and refuge, and shield them with Your wings, Amen.
