Welcome to Varied Expressions of Worship

Welcome to Varied Expressions of Worship

This blog will be written from an orthodox Christian point of view. There may be some topic that is out of bounds, but at present I don't know what it will be. Politics is a part of life. Theology and philosophy are disciplines that we all participate in even if we don't think so. The Bible has a lot to say about economics. How about self defense? Is war ethical? Think of all the things that someone tells you we should not touch and let's give it a try. Everything that is a part of life should be an expression of worship.

Keep it courteous and be kind to those less blessed than you, but by all means don't worry about agreeing. We learn more when we get backed into a corner.

Opus 2025-176: The Danger of Donald

Donald Trump presents a real danger to America and Americans.  I say this as a Trump supporter.  I voted for him.  I wore a red Trump hat.  If the constitution allowed it, I would vote for him again.  I salute the sense of optimism and hope that he has brought to the country.

At the same time I think of him as being a real danger.

Donald Trump is not the messiah.  He is not the undisputed guru of our culture.  To be fair he has never said he is.  He is simply a man who loves America and was put in a unique position to step forward and be counted.  He may be the key figure in history in the last hundred years and in the next hundred years.

The danger comes when people of faith start to get complacent and stop praying.  We are not at the second coming yet.  The new Jerusalem is not descended from heaven.  All is not well in the world.  Our problem is we tend to get a little bit of good times and we relax.  We can’t afford to do that.

Donald Trump and his cabinet and those working with him need our prayers now more than ever.  They are living a daily life of danger.  They are in the crosshairs.  We need to pray for their safety.  We need to pray for their wisdom.  We need to pray that the statements they have made that seem open towards the presence of God take that extra step and actually embrace Him and make sure they’re on His side.

I had a litany that I gave before the election.  I went down a list of things starting with “keep praying”.  I talked about standing up and speaking out.  Keep in mind that the changes that need to take place in this country are in the hearts of mines of the rank and file, the grass roots.  There are so many misconceptions that need to be addressed and we need to be doing the addressing.

Here’s to a better stronger America.

    1. It is amazing how easy it is for us to relax instead of being vigilant.

      Grace and peace
