Anyone else just totally fatigued by what's happening?

Our system was not totally man made, we were formed as a nation under God, we respected God and were blessed. So many have rejected God in it by now, one wonders if this nation's Godly veil of protection has been lifted. These things look human made but I'm one who believes everything has a spirit behind it. And there are only two kinds, good vs evil. All through scripture we see God's hand in the nations, when things turn rough they most often were under chastisement and what God was looking for was a turn back to Him. These bad actors were see I doubt even know who God is. We as a people in this time, true Christians not looking to end things by violence must align with God and take anyone willing along with us. This is a time of harvest, we need to point to God Jesus just like the Holy Spirit points us to God Jesus. The spiritual hearts of man in our country are broken and they are far from God. We can't give up the hope that some will turn, nor the hope that God will rise up an individual maybe even from one them who turns and sees His shining light.

We love God, "God with Us", the Great "I Am", the "Intercessor", "The God Above All gods", the "Holy One", "Son Of God" , "Son of man", "God of heaven", the "Alpha, the Omega", "All Knowing God", The "King of Kings" and "El"= God". He's still on the throne. Amen ?

I do agree with you on this point, very much so... however, I don't know how to share Christ with others. I don't think I do it well.

Take my son for instance; I've been saved almost 6 years and I've told my son about Christ and shared with him my testimony and all - tried to open the discussion whenever the conversation leads to religious topics.

But he's just so burned by religion and can't figure it out now. His brain just isn't going there...

He believes in God but all the religions confuse him, so while believes Jesus as a historical figure, and he knows those who believe in Jesus as Messiah were all under a powerful move from God to the point they were willing to give their lives to follow Him, but he can't seem to go any further...

So I think I'm failing somehow to teach..

Don't lose heart. You have sown the Word of God into your son. Now trust God to send someone to water those seeds. God will get the increase. It is a spiritual work and your son will come along. Just continue to pray for him.

Haha... ANYONE on the left is, in my honest opinion, our greatest enemy. They have been at war with everything this country has always stood for, for years now, and they feel themselves quite emboldened and are attempting to destroy us forever.

My love of freedom ensures I will vote for no one else.

I believe in the rule of law. I believe in religious freedom. I believe in freedom and peace...

Good luck with your campaign to destroy America... but I assure you, you'll never win.

There are a whole panoply of people 'on the left' and not all of them are enemies of ordered liberty. Many of the new left are enemies of ordered liberty, but some of the older members of the left are allies of liberty. Just saying. And also saying that they are increasingly uncomfortable in what they witness around them.

The current national version of the Democratic Party is now, I believe, an enemy of ordered liberty, although there might be an exception or two in some of the various states and in some local precincts. But more and more there is no room for dissent in this party of the left. Witness the defeat of one of the last pro-life Democrats, Dan Lipinski. A party that does not have room for him does not have room for me.

I'm burnt out on it, absolutely, but I highly suspect that's because I live in the capital city of California, so everything seems to end up here. The protests I saw a few days ago in the downtown area were very peaceful (even got the police to stand back and let the marchers march), but since then I've heard that looters have hit an electronics store near me, and I'm starting to feel a bit vulnerable here, if I'm honest, because I happen to live in an area that has a lot of retail shops. Just gotta hope cooler heads prevail eventually. I 100% support protests like the one I saw a few days ago, but I know not everywhere was so peaceful.

It may not be you who leads him but you give a word in season, as mentioned plant the seed of the gospel. We all have family who concern us. Me too, I also have a son who so far doesn't accept our savior.

I don't know if it's just my above-average exposure to current events, but man I'm just tired. Tired of being inundated with basically two distinct, but only two, storylines for months on end. First it was the virus, now it's the riots (and still the virus a little).

My boss (a news director) actually said yesterday, regarding our viewers and what our reporting priorities are, "the only things people care about right now are coronavirus and George Floyd." I tested that out with some different people and all of them, including some liberals, said "nope". They wanted to hear other things as well. But we've been force-fed this crap, chock full of propaganda, for months.

I'm over it. I need to get back to praying the rosary every day and cracking open Sacred Scripture. Mea culpa.

For the most part I have completely stopped watching "the news" ... focusing on heaven and the Lord. The world is in utter chaos and is likely going to get worse.

Even so ... Come Lord Jesus!

I am fatigued not so much by the Corona virus but by the government overreached and power grab on our civil liberties. I am fatigued by the politicians who are sitting by and allowing violence and looting as means to an end.

I am tired of politicians saying we need a dialogue on race and what they really mean is that we need to be lectured to and held to account. A dialogue means a two sided conversation.

If someone wants to dialogue with me then i am always open but I not hearing anyone's lectures.

You cannot trust anything except the faith we follow. Although, the shepherds seems to be heavily influenced in some cases. Let’s just cultivate the flock. Call me selfish.

I haven't even heard the phrase "dialogue" so far in this round of class warfare. Instead what I've seen seems to be all that the radicals have wanted: people on their knees before them. Literally. All these different leftists bowing their heads and dropping to their knees begging for forgiveness (for things they really didn't do), BLM radicals chasing people down on the streets and demanding they get on their knees and admit their "white privilege".

2 This is what the Lord says: “For three sins of Moab, even for four, I will not relent. Because he burned to ashes the bones of Edom’s king, 2 I will send fire on Moab that will consume the fortresses of Kerioth. Moab will go down in great tumult amid war cries and the blast of the trumpet. 3 I will destroy her ruler and kill all her officials with him,” says the Lord.

Wow, what a relief! Thank you Jesus! Whenever someone starts talking about the the sins of slavery in the US they blame us for things that happened 200 years ago. Is that fair? First of all not all the states had slavery, and then in the ones that did only 25% of the people had slaves, and then when you are talking about plantation owners with 100 or more slaves it was only about 3%. So is it really fair to go back several hundred years and dig up some cursed plantation owner and say the entire US is cursed because of this guy? Even God, right here in Amos condemns doing that! Of course slavery was cursed, but were these men who were made in the image of God cursed because of the US, or were they cursed by God? Oh yeah, Moab, they were amateurs, they only went back one or two generations to justify themselves, we went back much further than that. We went back to before there even was a New World, before Jesus, hey we even went back before Moses, we went all the way back to Noah. We went back to Noah and dug up Ham, and believe it or not, that is why all these people thousands of years later were cursed! Did we stop there? No, no, no we then brought out our witch doctors with their mumbo jumbo science as a racial justification. Burning bones to ash? That is kid’s stuff. We put those ashes into baby food. By the 1950s you could put two dolls before a young child, one black the other white, and ask which is the pretty one, which is the smart one, which is the good one and they would point to the white doll. Which one looks like you? They would point to the black doll. Which one is ugly and stupid? They would point to the black doll. Do you really think this generation will escape the judgement and wrath of God?
