Happy New Year and thank you. As we begin 2025, I would like to express a heartfelt and sincere thank you for your support of the Discerning Pundit.
Thank you for reading and sharing these columns. It is much appreciated.
To say 2024 has been a whirlwind year is an understatement. With all that has occurred, from the Presidential campaign, to the two assassination attempts against President Trump, to the elation of an election night win, the holiday spirit has, strangely, been the last thing on my mind.
But thank God, Jesus is the source of our joy, and that our Heavenly Father hears and answers our prayers. Praise the Lord a majority of Americans re-elected President Trump in a landslide for a total and complete victory.
While God answered prayer, keeping Trump safe and this country from collapsing –despite the best efforts of the Biden Administration-I can’t help thinking the real work is beginning.
America is on the ropes and without a shared Christian moral foundation, too many people are easily seduced by lies and fables. Why else do you think woke, DEI and even the plandemic were able to gain prominence?
Christians must dedicate unceasing prayer for America, Congress, the Supreme Court, the Trump Administration, governors , mayors , legislatures and city councils. On another level, Christians must also launch imprecatory prayers against wicked policies on both sides of the aisle and the puppet masters pulling the strings behind the scenes.
Washington was not only built on a swamp, its environment and politics is a swamp of corruption and waste.
As Trump now sees Washington and politicians in a different light than during his first term, we must also view things from a new paradigm.
First, we no longer have the luxury of complacency. The days of farming out our liberty to politicians , whether “D” or “R” , are over.
Here’s a word to memorize: scrutiny. It means a close watch or examination. This is a word we must always associate with politicians from now and forever.
You might understand it better as paying attention to how these hacks vote, rather than falling for what they say. We must figuratively grab their feet and hold it to the fire.
Before you dismiss me for spouting a cliche, keep in mind this is from a Christian perspective. When talking about fire, I’m speaking of God spiritually burning away every deception keeping us from the truth.
That’s the job of this blog: commenting on current events using a Biblical perspective. My mission is helping you discern truth from deception.
So happy New Year and thank you for your support. May 2025 be the year you take your prayer and study of Scripture to an entirely new level.
