The Best Thing About the Current President

                                                                                                                                                              
                                                                                                                                                              
                                                                                                                                                              

The best thing about America's current president is that he will die.  When, and how much more harm he will be permitted to do before then, is God's decision alone.

It's good that the current president is such a complete narcissist that his evil thoughts and deeds center entirely on himself, on what he personally and immediately wants.  He will not leave his followers an evil ideology to follow to destruction, like Nazism or Communism.  Trumpism's sole Great Purpose is Trump, and when he is dead it will not survive.

But of course, the spirit of evil is greater than any man, or ideology of men: and evil will survive and flourish

An amazing number of people who've made it their life's purpose to follow the current president will be without direction when their Great Leader is no more.  They will not then know whom they should hate, and who to love.  They will not have his hourly outbursts specifying what "opinions" and worldview they must adapt to accord with his.

An amazing number of people will then be waiting for someone...anyone...to tell them what to think, and what to believe, and what to do.  The current president's admirers have shown they lack the spiritual discernment to recognize and flee from satan's evil spirit and intent.  When Trump passes from the scene, their hearts will continue to desire someone of that spirit whom they can follow, and trust, and believe, and obey.

I'm convinced God will allow them their heart's desire.

Jesus' coming was preceded by God's sending John the Baptist to prepare His way.  It just may be that satan's end-time anti-messiah likewise has his forerunner, preparing those whose hearts long for his appearing.

Perhaps the best thing about the current president is that through him God is purifying His Church of those who will not receive the love of the truth, so as to be saved (II Thessalonians 2:10).  Perhaps in this way God is preparing for His Son a Church in submission to Him, Who IS The Truth: a Church cleansed, glorious, holy and without blemish (Ephesians 5:24-27).



                                                                                                                                                              
                                                                                                                                                              
                                                                                                                                                              

If Jesus Were Truth

"Jesus said . . . “I AM . . . The Truth . . ."  (John 14:6, my emphasis)

 
But if Jesus were "The Truth," Christians would love Truth.

But if Jesus were "The Truth," Christians would surrender their lives to Truth.

But if Jesus were "The Truth," Christians would know they're saved by Truth (II Thessalonians 2:10). 

But if Jesus were "The Truth," Christians would say "Truth is Lord !"

But if Jesus were "The Truth," Christians would heed Truth.

But if Jesus were "The Truth," Christians would follow Truth.

But if Jesus were "The Truth," Christians would HATE lies.

But if Jesus were "The Truth," Christians would turn away from liars


But 

"Jesus said . . . “I AM . . . The Truth . . ."

"What Must I Do to be Saved ?"

"Only the Spirit of the Holy can impart to the human spirit the knowledge of the holy. Yet as electric power flows only through a conductor, so the Spirit flows through truth and must find some measure of truth in the mind before He can illuminate the heart."

-- A. W. Tozer, The Knowledge of the Holy


"...those who perish, [perish] because they did not receive the love of the truth so as to be saved."

-- II Thessalonians 2:10



It's Jesus' unexpected answer to our question, "what must I do to be saved ?" Jesus says, "Love Truth."
