Discovering God Class Resumes
On Monday, we began to function as an oligarchy.
“Oligarchy” is rule by a few wealthy and powerful (mostly) men who use their power for their own (often corrupt) ends.
Lincoln’s “of the people, by the people, and for the people” is over.
It is now “of the few, by the few, and for the few.”
But I predict chaos.
Someone in an NDE got a glimpse of hell. He saw selfish and vengeful people in endless war with one another.
Selfish and vengeful people have trouble getting along with one another. They lack the capacity to care deeply about anyone but themselves.
So—a friend one day is an enemy the next.
Evil is self-defeating.
Lincoln also said, “You can fool all of the people some of the time, and some of the people all of the time.”
“But,” he said, “you can’t fool all the people all the time.”
People will notice:
- The rich getting richer.
- The poor getting poorer.
- Families separated.
- Mothers crying for their children.
- (And, of course, the price of eggs continuing to rise.)
And when people do notice, things will begin to change. But until then, the journey will be rough.
On Monday, an order was issued to end the task force working to reunite parents with children taken from them at the border.
A thousand children will not see their parents again. The evil has begun.
But it will not win. This is still God’s world.
Lord, hear our prayers.
My Discovering God class resumes, 9:45 Sunday.
Come. Be encouraged.
