Character

Keep your behavior excellent. 1 Peter 2:12
A good name is better than a good Ointment.  Ecclesiastes 7:1
An overseer must be above reproach. 1 Timothy 3:2
He was well spoken of by the brothers.  Acts 16:2

Let’s talk presidents.

When was the last man to hold that office that had an ounce of true character?

It has been a long time, and by that we would have to go back 130 years. We had some that would show signs at time but not for long. They would always fall back to what would get them reelected. Coolidge, Truman, Kennedy, Reagan all showed signs but would not stand on solid principles.

I guess we are all looking for a George Washington, Benjamin Rush, or a Thomas Jefferson type character. I guess God only made so many of them. I would think there are more out there but they are just hard to find. We need to look I would think first for a biblical type of character because without that we will end up with what we have had for the 17 years.

We have fallen into a place where our president can look us in the face and tell us he did not have sex with that women and we say that’s his private life. We had a president tell us that he had to abandon his free market principles to save the free market. If you can abandon the free market then you can abandon God’s principles.

Now we have a president who has twisted the truth about his true beliefs. No one really knows what he is all about. I do know I don’t listen to his own words– I watch his actions. I do not care what party he belongs to but this man is arrogant and is narcissistic. He, like so many others before him, is only interested in his legacy. Like so many others before him, it is a lot of power which leads to his greed. They will do whatever it take to hold on to their positions.

Let’s look at the executive order.

No president has the authority to sign an executive order and it become the law of the land. What part of 1st line of the constitution do they not understand. Article 1 section 1: All legislative Powers herein granted shall be vested in a Congress of the United States, which consist of a Senate and House of Representatives. Do we have anything about the Executive branch or Judaical branch? NO we do not. We have heard all the time that past presidents have signed executive orders, I contend they are not legal. Just because people do something in the past that are not legal and are never called on it DOES NOT MAKE IT NOW LEGAL. We need for the senate and house of representatives to grow back bones and stand up to any president and if necessary bring him up on charges. We can no longer sit back and trust these people we sent to Washington. We need to be engaged.
2 Timothy 3:11-12 You ought to live holy and Godly lives, as we look forward to the day of God.

Remember Proverbs 29:2— When the righteous increase the people rejoice, but when a wicked man rules people groan.

And boy do we have some wicked people ruling in Washington now!!!!!
