Jim, thanks for detailing the problem. If you don't identity a problem you can't possibly solve it. The church part is the most evil.
Eric Metaxas wrote a book about Dietrich Bonhoeffer a minister who resisted Hitler and died for it.
He wrote a book I have only heard about and not seen called "Letter to the American Church" is about the alarming similarities between the American Church and the German Church in the 1930s.
It is not about democrats or republicans; it is about the evil intent of man's hearts. Many who are claiming they are against abortion is just playing the political game. And there are a few who are real about their stance but are clueless to what is happening right before them because they are distracted by the illusions. God is showing the world what America is all about. Nevertheless, just like it was in the Bible days it is today. God has a remnant that has not and will not bow to Baal. And He has prayer warriors who are on the wall and will not come down. I feel your heart, thanks for the post.
I might add the voting machines to the mix along with the Uniparty headed by Mitch "the turtle". The Uniparty faction of the party backed De Santis in a campaign that was no contest while other candidates were starved out. So many variables it is hard to explain. You made a noble effort here, as good as any I have seen.
I’m sorry, but I am so sick and tired of posts like this. We know things aren’t great–everything I read here is no shocking surprise. But all this “awareness” is doing is leaving us with gloom and doom and hopelessness, and that’s exactly what the desired outcome is. If you’re going to tell me the problem, don’t just tell me the problem. What can I DO about it? What are YOU doing about it? God does not call us to live this way, in fear and contempt, but by faith and with joy. Obviously the world is going to go to hell in a hand basket because it’s a sinful place and is dying. The Bible has always told us this, we’ve always known it, and now we’re acting all awed and surprised that it’s going on? If this is how we are acting, it’s not a wonder people don’t want to hear the Good News. They’re thinking that if it were good enough, those who had it wouldn’t be living as if they didn’t. Jesus has already overcome the world–THAT is where our focus should be.
Olivia, “Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go.”—Joshua 1:9
You KNOW you were created in the image and likeness of God, Who is in you. What does your heart tell you to do in response to what you see? We are to be witness to Jesus and what He taught. How can you bear witness by your example which will turn the hearts of those who are not too far gone.
I hear you, Olivia Rose; surely no one wants to hear doom and gloom all the time. Nevertheless, the Word of God is not always sweet, it can be bitter too like medicine, but it can save one's life if they adhere to it. That is why Jeremiah was hated so much, he brought the Word of God to a people who did not want to hear it or acknowledge the authority of God. I am with you about being already told this by the Word of God. But not everyone knows this, and God is reminding those who do and showing those who can see spiritually some things. The solution is Jesus in the heart of man which will bring about a change in the heart and mind. If the heart does not change the mind will not change; if the mind does not change neither will one's actions change. As believers in Christ Jesus, we have to seek God's plan for how He wants us to minister to His people that will bring results--signs and wonders.

Many people are feeling the doom and gloom, but it's important to identify the problem first. Perhaps consider using your “awareness” to do some of the following (if you haven’t already):
1) reach out to young people in your local community and share the inspired Word of God
2) support more local conservative or/and patriotic businesses and fewer large corporations
3) create or inspire others to start businesses or homeschool pods that actively promote and defend Christian values.
We need to start building communities and businesses at the grassroots level by engaging young people in the process and, over time, working upwards into political, financial and cultural institutions. This may take a generation or so but we need to start at the local level, in my humble opinion.
The democratic system is broken (Pfucked) and it's now too late to fix it!
I HEREBY REJECT the G20 HUMAN 'Cattle tagging' mandate! I also reject the WEF & all persons remotely associated with it!
Licencing POISONS called 'VACCINES' justifies enormous profits from a deadly 'medicine' that's made by Pharmacists with NO MORALS and NO 'LIABILITY!" It also teases us into thinking we're lucky to be offered such wonderful cures (that are no more than DEPOPULATION). Absolute nonsense!
When I travel, I now worry that the oncoming driver might have been over jabbed with poison and pass out! Also, when on a plane I hope they're now using an EXTRA CO-PILOT in case SADS or Myocarditis crops up! More likely as each jab increases the potential of both calamities.
Today I donned my weekly grocery shopping uniform which includes a Bright yellow Tee-Shirt with 'Covid UnVAXXED - WE LIVE LONGER' (front) and 'Covid Unvaxxed CLUB' on the back.
I passed a Covid Vax Centre, now better known as an 'Extermination Centre' for the unknowing masses. Or perhaps, 'the showers' like in WW2.
At Reception I was asked "Have you come for your booster?"
I asked if they had any information on Vax Injuries & Vax related Deaths. I was given a Pfizer brochure that downplayed everything detrimental to their highly profitable POISON.
This proved that Informed Consent No Longer EXISTS and that the medical Hippocratic Oath to "DO NO HARM" no longer applies in the UK.
After being noticed by a few Lemmings I left feeling I had managed to get my message across to at least a few intended victims of the World Depopulation Program.
LIABILITY must be reintroduced for Vax makers = COMMON SENSE.
Then this farce will end suddenly, Pfizer will be BANKRUPT and life will get back to normal!
Montana struck down the proposed Born Alive proposition not to let babies “die on the table”, quite the opposite. It allows families and doctors to decide allow babies born with fatal conditions to die peacefully in the arms of their mothers and fathers, rather than on a table, surrounded by strangers under bright lights, suffering futile medical treatment in their final moments.
You’re clearly and purposefully unaware of the Human Children who survive their Abortion attack. How convenient for you.
Just so you understand: They suffocate, stab, break the neck or drown the little Girl or Boy who’s born alive more often than just set them aside to die of exposure and lack of comfort and love. They also may cut them open for their very profitable and suddenly human body parts with their heart still beating, too. Blood perfusion means freshness.
Let me clarify…the rejection of this proposition allows families and doctors to decide what is best for babies who won’t survive. The proposal would have forced doctors and nurses to try and “save” these babies, or face criminal charges.
Lovely graphics Bridget. If my health was so compromised that I had at most hours or a day to live, I would want and EXPECT only palliative care from my doctor. Further I wouldn’t want him to second guess my decision or his own for fear of being thrown in prison for allowing me to die peacefully.
Well, at least you have a reasonable expectation of gentle, appropriate care even if dying, Ann.
If you were in your Mother’s womb and set for slaughter, not so much. But, again, if a defenseless little Girl who’s not you is tortured to death, what do you care?
As this article notes, there are existing laws that address infanticide. The woman featured here is not some one I’d want for a doctor. She and others were investigated and I hope that if they violated state or federal laws, they go to jail. Montanas proposal was unnecessary and worded so as to concern State ObGyns that don’t provide abortion services, and would make it difficult to recruit ObGyns to the State, where they are direly needed.
Too bad you have to resort to personal attacks in attempting to make your point.
I am sorry you feel that way. Your comments match almost word for word what you'd see on the Compassion for Montana's website, an organization funded by Planned Parenthood. (Who opposed approving the referendum) Sadly, you seem to be buying their lies. I would encourage you to read https://montanafreepress.org/2022/09/23/what-does-montanas-lr-131-have-to-do-with-abortion/
As a person whose birth mother chose to put me up for adoption rather than abort me, I will always fight this fight.
We have “Wolves in Sheep Clothing” problem. From Politicians (Dem & Republican), Clergy (most religions), Media, Big Tech, Global Corporations, Healthcare Establishment, Education, to Globalist Elites. The People are fed Lies from every direction, 24/7. Without actively seeking out alternative information sources, most People succumb to the Lies and become sheep. Without strong Family and Spirituality, sheep are easily herded by the Wolves. So, the sheep vote to keep the Wolves in Power and there is no outrage when blatant Election Fraud is committed in the open.
Thank you, Jim. I have been consciously aware that an overwhelming surge of first-time voters favored the Democratic Party. Furthermore, the overturning of Roe. v. Wade infuriated a significant proportion of the country, and they voted accordingly. The GOP will need to persuade and win over members of Generation Z and rebuild a party future generations can respect and push forward.
I'm deeply sickened, to watch the manifestation of absolute wickedness we used to call sin parading itself as the ultimate freedom. We are doomed if we don't take action now.
Many a Christian has fallen a sleep, simply because our nations so called Preachers, it is disgusting to say the least.
We need to keep praying for this America. Ultimately it is up to the parents to ready their children for the Godless indoctrination that lies before them. Educate them early and continually as you guide them through each stage of their precious lives.
I have so much to say on this subject, I have talked to numerous Preachers about this very subject, and they all nod their head in agreement, and do and say nothing about it.
You could not have ended your essay with a better reference than Romans 1:28.. Nothing described Amerika circa 2022 better than that. Other Christians reading this might be reminded to read Revelation 3:14–22.
The Western World has fallen into the Laodicean church age and those who still bother to attend church services seem to be either interested in a social hour (complete with Cappuccino machines) or a rock and roll show with attendance taken 2/3 of the way through.
Some Americans retain the faith of their fathers and some praise the freedoms our government has retained for us. Most can see the signs of the end of an empire and the degradation and corruption of a religion.
We need much conversation on these issues. Believe this kind of inquiry is essential. The problem is and remains that those most in need of understanding all this will be unlikely to join the conversation unless it is to attack.

You are right Olivia, we have hope in Christ. The things of man will always lead to hopelessness.
Thank you for asking... I recently served two terms as the president of the board of directors of a pro-life organization.
Thanks for your efforts and example.

But what do you care about that, Ann22?
It’s not you being butchered.

Let me clarify this…you may one day need a Doctor to “save” you as well.
Hope they’re not like you, Ann22, for your sake.

Ask the little Child who’s denied life saving care in Montana after surviving his or her Abortion to help you understand what “personal attacks” are.
I’m sure they’d love to have the chance to be questioned over their public comments instead of being killed any day.

Dear ROA,
I sent this small note above to/for Jim's Work.
Thank You For Offering It To US.
Always
Thank you, Jim. I have been consciously aware that an overwhelming surge of first-time voters favored the Democratic Party. Furthermore, the overturning of Roe. v.
