Public Trust?

Posted: July 29th, 2010, by christianwest

Congressional members are in the news again – not for their outstanding work in repairing our damaged (read: destroyed) economy, or sealing our borders, or unfailing support for our troops engaged in two (really – one) wars.

At least one member of Congress must be out totally out of touch with the majority of U. S. citizens. Associated Press, said -

A second-term lawmaker who received 65 percent of the vote two years ago, said Rangel (Charles Rangel -ethics problems) needs to resign to preserve the public trust in Congress. (emphasis mine)

Does she seriously think the vast majority of thinking Americans have any trust in Congress?

Another member of the august body made the wisest statement -in my opinion- about the solution to the Rangel problem and almost all of our National problems -

“The focus right now is let’s get out of here,” said Rep. William Delahunt, D-Mass.

That’s the best idea I have heard from Congress in a good while.

Demons

Posted: July 28th, 2010, by christianwest

It’s my opinion that when we hear the word “demon” we shrug and think “crazy.” People who do crazy things and then complain about demons are just people who need to be institutionalized.

“An Arlington man accused of trying to kill his parents by setting their Bedford home on fire last week was guided by demons and wanted them dead because they had spanked him when he was a child and not his younger brother, according to an arrest warrant affidavit released on Wednesday by Bedford police.” (Ft. Worth Star-Telegram, Domingo Ramirez)

I am confident there is not a demon under every rock – but I try not to turn over too many rocks. I know the Enemy exists – and I know he uses every possible emotion, thought, memory, and mind-bending action to place us at odds with other people. As sure as God is Llove, the Enemy is hatred and anger and discontent.
The only victory over the Enemy is in Christ Jesus our Lord. Without Him, we are pawns in the hand of one who lies, steals,  kills and destroys.
Crazy? Yeah. But if you think it is not the enemy at work, you have much to learn.
