Something stands in between Christians and their candidate; the love of money or personal gain.They are concerned more what is good for themselves rather than for the good of the people. Years ago, Clinton pointed that out to dense people with his slogan, It's the economy, stupid. People usually do vote their pocket-book because everyone wants prosperity for themselves. Personally, I always enjoyed prosperity while working for General Motors. I did warn my colleagues, especially union members that the money will run out when we are too greedy. Eventually, due to high wages, great benefits, and the economy in general, the money did run out! For me, it was satisfaction with an comfortable income then, over no income later. In other words, workers must be realistic; there are limits to what can be expected.
In Kentucky, just as General Motors, Democrats for years spent as if there was no tomorrow, borrowing from one fund to pay another. They endangered the retirement fund of public workers by overspending and misappropriating funds. No one complained as things were good for them. They worried little about tomorrow, and let Democrats do their socialistic thing - buy votes with taxpayers money and indulge public workers. Democrats were poor stewards of God's money.
With time, just as I thought, the retirement fund was in jeopardy and near collapse. Along came Matt Bevin who tried to save the retirement of public workers. The fair thing to do was share the sacrifice. The workers would need to take a reduction in their expected pay raises. They hated Bevin for saving their retirement because they would have to share the responsibility.
Remembering that few had complained with overspending, now they all complained at fiscal responsibility. Bevin's duty was to preserve their retirement, and he did the hard thing. He was a good steward of the public's money. Now people hate Bevin for doing his job. Christians even hate their Christian brother for being a good steward of their money! The time to complain was not at its "salvation" but when greed expended the money.
Christians betrayed Bevin for a few pieces of "silver." Of course, Bevin is not Jesus, and didn't do everything perfect, but he fulfilled his purpose. He made the retirement fund safe again. Because he did a good thing, even the religious hates him. Does that not sound familiar?
Who is the Devil in this situation? The public service unions who took truth and twisted it as usual. They used propaganda to crucify the governor, and Christians call for his crucifixion. For the love of money, they will betray an innocent man. That manner is socialism. Rather than depending on God to take care of them, they depend on the government to use the peoples' "thirty-pieces of silver" for their own gain. The perpetual Abrahamic Covenant is essentially, trust God for prosperity and He will take care of you. Christians wont even trust God and have a little grace for a man of God in doing hard things. Preserving the retirement fund for the people was tough love. Does anyone really think that it was evil to do that, and that it was an easy thing for Bevin to do?
The Democrat machine runs the unions. Cannot people see that they are doing the Democrat will, and think they are doing the right thing. How about trusting God for a change rather than the government? Inevitably, it is the government which will destroy Christians, but God who will save. Why not heed the voice, for a change, from a man of God? Why allow propagandists to continue manipulating you?
Although, this rant is about the attack on the Kentucky governor, it could just as well be about the national election as well. Trump is dong the right thing, and evil forces are trying to impede him. Impeachment is a vicarious type of crucifixion, at least the mocking and humiliation of being publicly crucified. Just like David and Saul, Trump was not a good person. King David and the apostle Paul became faithful stewards for God, holding fast to God's will and promise. Why not let Trump do what he was elected to do which was to benefit the most, just not the special few!
The division we see in the world right now is evil. Neither Bevin nor Trump are responsible for the division. Jesus himself did not come to bring peace to the world, but dissension, as it is written:
Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword. For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law. (Mat 10:34-35).Jesus knew that peace would not come; that even family members would be at variance over his will for the nations. Jesus seemed to be the "divider" rather than Savior, but it was Satan who had already established a divisive mindset. Jesus just knew that the world would not accept good things because they were so accustomed to the fruits of the forbidden tree. Christians even go after the fruit of the world, rather than the fruits of the spirit. People like Bevin and Trump stand in the way of what deceived people think is good fruit, and they get angry for it!
