Is it just me or…

As Jesus sat on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately, saying, “Tell us, when will these things be, and what will be the sign of your coming and of the close of the age?” Matt 24:3

does it seem to you that the end is near? Ever since the apostles witnessed Jesus ascend into heaven 40 days after His resurrection, the world has been waiting for Jesus’ return. It has been almost 2000 years and we are still awaiting His return.

In the last 24 hours, the President of the United States, a person who professes faith in Jesus Christ as his Savior, has issued 2 Executive Orders which go against the very essence of his professed faith.

Item #1 – The White House has canceled the National Day of Prayer ceremony for the second year in a row and it now seems likely that our government will no longer declare a National Day of Prayer because some liberal judge in Wisconsin has ruled it unconstitutional. President Obama has stated that he will still issue the proclamation for the NDP but won’t participate in any ceremony. Our founding fathers are turning over in their graves.

Item #2 – President Obama has issued an Order which demands that any hospital which accepts Medicare and Medicaid, (are there any who don’t ?), must allow gays visitation rights and granting power of attorney and healthcare proxies be honored, regardless of sexual orientation. They can make end care decisions and the like. This is an obvious outright bowing to pressure from LGBT groups. It’s only a matter of time, especially because of the Health Care Bill, when hospitals will be required to perform abortions. Again, this from a man who claims Christ as his Savior.

The very foundations of our nation are under attack by people in high places who are currently in the process of transforming this once great nation into a socialist, humanist and godless nation.

Maybe it’s time for us to pray earnestly and echo the words of the Apostle John at the end of the Book of Revelations when he writes “Come, Lord Jesus!” (Rev 22:20)

And that’s the word of The Day
