ARE WE THERE YET?
Thursday, September 12, 2013
2Timothy 3:1-7 This know also, that in the last days
perilous times shall come. 2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves,
covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful,
unholy, 3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers,
incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, 4 Traitors, heady,
highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; 5 Having a form of
godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. 6 For of this
sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with
sins, led away with divers lusts, 7 Ever learning, and never able to come to
the knowledge of the truth.
Does anybody
remember being receiver or perpetrator of “Are we there yet?!” on family vacation
trip? I do in both driver and back seat. Our Dad, wise man (Or maybe “Wisenheimer”?),
answered “Just 5 more minutes.” and if you ask our now adult children, they
heard the same from Ann and I. (I’ve never asked them if echoed with their
children. Have you?)
Monday afternoon
our friendly mailman (Neither female or “person”.) quoted 2Timothy 3:1-7 to me
and asked if we, the USA, were there yet. To answer his question I reminded him
that he would be in serious trouble if I reported him for talking to me as he
had.
Then Monday
evening a lady that has done chaplaincy ministry for 30+ years in a hospital
founded in the name of Jesus Christ told me she is ordered by senior hospital
chaplain and admin to no longer speak to dying patients of Him and His
redemption. Then there’s the suppression, even persecution for some, of USA
military chaplains that openly volunteer the gospel to enlistees living or
dying.
Weeks ago two
different groups applied for rally permits for Washington DC demonstrations for
the same day, September 11th: One group for religious/civil rights
demonstration, the other group wanting to rally in remembrance of 9/11. The
Muslims were granted permit. The bikers were denied a permit, but rallied
anyway. http://freedomoutpost.com/2013/09/2-million-bikers-invade-d-c-remind-us-911-still-means-something-real-americans/ (Denied permit, it’s illegal, also meant no
police escort or assigned protection. Watch video and note sirens and road
workers urging them down the interstate.)
There is more
accounting I could tell, but would only be informing you of what you already
know; one outstanding proof being your sad reaction, with a few other DT readers
rejoicing in the news. Some of you I’m sure will be contributing personal reports
for Saturday DT FORUM.
Are we there yet?
I don’t pretend to see His clock, but do suspect we may be within 5 minutes of
arrival. EBB4
