“When was the last time an actor assassinated a president?”

“They’re still gonna have to go out and put a bullet in Donald Trump, and that’s a fact.”

“Where is John Wilkes Booth when you need him?”

“I have thought an awful lot about blowing up the White House.”

“I will go and take Trump out tonight.”

“So we’re not talking about the debate, it’s time to put Trump in a bullseye.”

This morning Mom and I were discussing the smug pride we’ve witnessed amongst some involved with the MAGA movement, and her following comment struck the nail bluntly on the head:

“Unfortunately you can be a full-blooded patriot and still be void of God.”

A few nights ago I watched the documentary “Capitol Punishment,” which examines the events surrounding January 6th, and the days following.  It’s available for digital download, and I highly recommend everyone watch it.  You can view it here.

Coincidentally, that title is the same as my post from last year, which detailed my eyewitness testimony from that day.  What I don’t find a coincidence, however, is how precisely similar so many testimonies are of the events that day, and the events leading up to it.  Watching the interviews, it amazed me how so many of the participants claim they felt led by the Holy Spirit to attend, with many (like us) not even deciding to go until a day or two before.  We were compelled.

The Israelites fled Egypt only to arrive at the Red Sea.

Absalom was fraudulently hailed as the new King over David.

Lazarus died.

Prophetic encouragement for the saints.

Reading the congratulatory statements from George W. Bush and Mitt Romney to Biden struck me as politically analogous to the state of lukewarm Christianity today.
