As a Christian, I have been appalled at the disregard for the biblical truth of gender and protecting innocent lives of babies which President Biden does not uphold.
However, there is one thing that I completely agree with the President about: we are in a battle for the heart and soul of our nation. Just the other day, in a discussion I commented that the reason why our country is in turmoil is because it has rejected the Gospel. The response was several laughs. If we have reached a point as a nation that recognizing God’s discipline and removal of His blessing is a laughing matter rather than as a dangerous place to be we are indeed in a sorry state.
One day EVERY knee will bow either in awe or terror. God is a God of love but also of Wrath, a consuming fire. Repent.
We certainly are in a battle as a nation for the heart and soul of our people. Ultimately it is not the Donkey or the Elephant that will save us. It is the Lamb alone. His Word must be honored and obeyed. We currently embrace homosexual marriage, gender choice and murder children in the womb. The Lord has been merciful toward us but He will not do so forever. Every nation in history that has turned to such atrocities has fallen. As much as we love this nation, Americans, we must love Christ and His Word more. We certainly need to be united – in conformity to Jesus Christ. If we unite around anything else, it will fall just like the Tower of Babel.
We will either humble ourselves or be humbled.

For the remainder of this essay I simply will share from Jeremiah:
“I will utter My judgments Against them concerning all their wickedness, Because they have forsaken Me, Burned incense to other gods, And worshiped the works of their own hands.”
Jeremiah 1:16 NKJV
“Has a nation changed its gods, Which are not gods? But My people have changed their Glory For what does not profit. Be astonished, O heavens, at this, And be horribly afraid; Be very desolate,” says the LORD. “For My people have committed two evils: They have forsaken Me, the fountain of living waters, And hewn themselves cisterns—broken cisterns that can hold no water.
….Your own wickedness will correct you, And your backslidings will rebuke you. Know therefore and see that it is an evil and bitter thing That you have forsaken the LORD your God, And the fear of Me is not in you,” Says the Lord GOD of hosts.”

But what will you do in the end?”
Jeremiah 5:29-31 NKJV
