Good

                                                                                                                                                              
                                                                                                                                                              
                                                                                                                                                              

Why do you call me good?” Jesus answered. “No one is good—except God alone. 

                                                                                            --  Mark 10:18, Luke 18:19

…it is written, ‘You shall be holy, for I am holy.’              --  I Peter 1:16

 

Human beings are only ever “good” in comparison to other people.  It’s the wrong standard.  Jesus, during His days in human flesh, rejected that standard.

Americans have to thank God we will soon have a President with a moral compass, and a heart for other people.  That’s better for America than what our nation has experienced under the current president: but it can only be relatively better.

Our human system of government hinders even that relative “good.”  The incoming President’s political enemies control other levers of government power, and have promised they will do everything possible to stymie his governance: including whatever limited, relative, “good”  he might attempt to do.

Our system of government also makes certain that when a majority of “the people” again WANT to believe lies and follow liars, America will again have evil rulers after their own heart …and come under God’s judgement again.  Poor America !!

May America REPENT, and every heart desire the Kingdom of God and its righteousness !  Amen !!
