Echoes From the Campfire

Folks who ply the ink-slinging trade haven’t evolved too far past freshwater mussels when it comes to thinking.  Given the slightest chance they’ll get all misty-eyed and weepy over the plight of anyone who can cast themselves in the role of victim.”
              –J. Lee Butts  (Lawdog)

    “You shall not follow a crowd to do evil; nor shall you testify in a dispute so as to turn aside after many to pervert justice.”
              –Exodus 23:2 (NKJV)

I’m sick and tired of the perversion of justice and morality that I see arising in our land.  I just cannot believe how sick, wicked, and evil some of those who will be running for the office of President are.  The real shame is that many Christians have taken hold and jumped on their bandwagon, listening and drooling at their wagging tongues.  
    I wonder how long the Lord will allow mercy to fall upon this nation of ours.  My doubts are stronger than my optimism in this matter.  The world is becoming more and more evil.  I read the other day, not from a religious source mind you, that the United Notions (I mean, Nations) has declared that there will be a one world government within twelve years.  Hmmm, that is if the world is still functioning for some whackos have said that it will be destroyed by that time.
    Now the push for 16 year olds to vote!  Crazy, they’re barely sophomoric!  That shows the extreme that people will go to just to get an agenda pushed.  An agenda, by the way, that is antichrist!

However, for the true believer in Christ, I also came across the following admonition by Dave Roever.  This is a time, amidst the great darkness that is coming and hovering over our land that Christians can truly shine.  That is if they are truly separated from the world.

    “Arise and Shine my soul!
     Stammering lips, stop your whimpering.  Lisping tongue, cease your utterance of surrender to a lesser god!  Light the wick of the Spirit and burn.  Burn brightly.  Resist the creeping darkness.  
     ARISE AND SHINE.
     Testify of His battlefield victories.  Remember His formations of might and arise against evil.  Weak knees, buckle not under pressure.  Cease your trembling!  Wade not only into the waters of refreshment but into the enemy’s ranks swinging wildly the scythe, harvesting the yield of a savaged enemy.  Loot the horse and horsemen.  Retake the land lost, the estate of righteousness, an inheritance of the elders preserved in tradition and valor.
     No compromise.
     No conformity.
     No concession.
     RISE AND SHINE!
     Your glory, your victory!  Sing your hymn of liberty!
     The SON has at long last risen on the horzon.  You’re free of the chains of unforgiveness.
     You are Born to live.
     He is for us…not against us!
     ARISE AND SHINE!”

“Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord rises upon you.”  Isaiah 60:1
