The Bible in the News

Every week a hundred stories, if not a thousand, illustrate the truth that the Bible is the most relevant and reliable book on the school’s library shelf.  Having been a preacher for almost 50 years, it is my purpose to pick a story each week that illuminates the impact the Bible has had, could have, or should have on “modern” mankind. 

This week it is the State of the Dissed-Union Speech.  All of the “talking heads” have analyzed Obama’s speech and have summed it up in four words: BLAH…BLAH…BLAH…BLAH

An investigative reporter of this blog has a secret source within the White House and has obtained a copy of the 2015 State of the Union speech.

Without further ado, I am going to reveal the salient points and give some Biblical analysis.

Here are the outstanding points of next year’s State of the Union speech: BLAH…BLAH…BLAH…BLAH

Our secret source at the White House has also obtained a copy of Obama’s 2016 State of the Union speech.  Here are the prominent points of that speech: BLAH…BLAH…BLAH…BLAH

Nothing new or newsworthy was in Obama’s State of the Dissed-Union speech, except that the American people were dissed. 

What does this have to do with the Bible? Solomon said, “There is nothing new under the sun.” Ecclesiastes 1:9.  When it comes to politics, nothing has changed in thousands of years. Politicians are still repeating the same old tired lies because people are still believing those lies.

Jeremiah 5:30-31 says, “A wonderful and horrible things is committed in the land; The prophets prophesy falsely, and the priest bear rule by their means; and my people love to have it so: and what will ye do in the end thereof?”

The prophet describes a paradox. Something has happened that is both “wonderful and horrible.”  What is this wonderful and horrible thing?  The leading preachers are preaching lies…blah…blah…blah…blah.  That is the horrible thing!  But the amazing thing is that the people love it!

The horrible thing is that the leading political leaders are making the same old promises…blah…blah…blah…blah.  Notice that verse 26 says, “…they set a trap, they catch men…”  How? The same old lies!  Verse 28 implies that they have promised to “judge the fatherless and to help the needy.” 

Instead they “bear rule by any means.” This means that they have used a heavy hand and heavy taxes.  These rulers had made life harder for the people they had promised to help. 

That describes Obamascare!  It was supposed to help the uninsured.  It only made the life of everyone harder.

That describes the Stimulus and trillions of dollars of spending!  It was supposed to help the economy, but it has only made things worse.

That describes the efforts to help the unemployed, but it only keeps them unemployed.

That describes the efforts to raise the minimum wage.  It is supposed to help the underpaid, but it hurts everyone.  I told a fellow worker that I had just received a two dollar per hour cut in salary.  They looked stunned. I explained that every time the minimum wage is raised, my salary goes down that much.  Everybody is hurt, including the underpaid!

That describes the last five years…BLAH…BLAH…BLAH…BLAH.

However, the truly amazing thing is that the low information voters…the dumbed-down Democrats…love it. They thought Obama’s dis-the-Union speech was great.

The most ironic moment in the speech was when Obama said that if Congress did not work with him that he would use his “pen and phone” to go around Congress.  He dissed the Congress, and the idiot Democrats stood and cheered.

Obama dissed Congress…and liberals loved it!

Obama dissed the Constitution…and Democrats cheered!

Obama dissed American liberty…and the political pundits cheered!

Beam me up, Scotty!

God asks the question, “What shall ye do in the end thereof?”   All of these lies have an “end” or purpose.  What is the purpose of any lie?  A lie is always used to hide the truth.  The true motive is power. The true purpose is to take control. The true result of these lies is slavery.

What are you going to do when the end comes? What are you going to do when the liberals achieve their true purpose?  How will American throw off the chains?  Every empty political promise is another link forged onto that chain.

Obama may dis Congress, and he may dis America, but he will not dis God.  Our Congress, President, political pundits, and preachers need to read carefully verse 29.  “Shall I not visit for these things? saith the LORD.”

God will judge and punish all liars! 

God always has the last word—whether liberals like it or not!
