Those dangers are not to be taken lightly.   They are real and imminent, and they demand our attention.   What I am going to say is rooted in my faith, my observations over many years, human history, and some declarations from political analysts and medical doctors.  To delve deeply into those multiple windows would require a book, not a blog post; therefore, I will highlight my concerns.  You can then take my opinion and do with it what you choose.

I have many ministerial colleagues who believe I should leave politics to politicians, and my typical response is, “That’s what got us into this mess.”  Hear me carefully; I do not believe that it is needful for preachers to preach politics from their pulpits.   However, I do believe that we are mandated in the Bible to Sound the Alarm when we see danger and evil posing danger to people. 

I consider the political violations of the Bible ample reason to address biblical precepts and relate them to what is happening in the political world.  As a minister, my first goal is the Gospel and seeing people born-again and redeemed from darkness.  I believe that my purpose is to address life and provide adequate information that will allow parents to safeguard their children from the ominous dangers of some of the current governmental and societal edicts.  If that makes me a ‘second-class Christian’ in the minds of some, so be it.  I believe it is a mandate from God.

I don’t want to get into a debate over what can and cannot be said from the pulpit and maintain the integrity of our commission.  If you believe that you should be silent and ignore the activities of the government and politicians, then pursue that.  If I saw a child about to pick up a poisonous snake, I would do all I could to prevent that from happening.  If I saw someone in any danger and could rescue them with a verbal warning, I would do so. 

Now, back to my thoughts on the dangers of having a person suffering from senility or dementia.  We have a sitting President who is clearly suffering from some severe cognitive disorders and decline.  He is visibly deteriorating physically as well.  Hating the opponent is not justification for ignoring the dangers nationally and internationally.  Our enemies are keenly aware of his condition.

I saw an article by Naval War College professor James Holmes, who authored a compelling article in The National Interest titled “Joe Biden and the Perception Paradox.”  I suggest that you find and read it.  It could prove to be an eye-opener at a time when open eyes are desperately needed.

Let me offer a brief excerpt.  “Perception is king in power politics.  The nations of the world that wish us well and ill undoubtedly watched the Biden-Trump debate or at least read the post-debate commentary about Biden’s awful performance – from both Republicans and Democrats.”   Holmes raised the concern that Biden’s debate performance seriously damaged the perception of America’s capability, competence, and fortitude.  He said, “Aggressors will be emboldened, and friends will blanch.  The mental ability and credibility of the American superpower’s leader have been called into question.  Our friends and our foes will act accordingly.”

Professor Holmes did not author his article as a Trump supporter; he considered Trump irrelevant in this discussion.  His concern and mine is that without something dramatic transpiring, Joe Biden will be President of the United States of America until January 20, 2025.  That is ample time for more destruction and damage to be launched at us than I care to consider.  

I have been telling those within my circle of influence that I see 2025 as the beginning of epic chaos, regardless of which candidate is declared the winner. When commentators from China openly compare the sitting president to a corpse, that is cause for alarm. China has world dominance as its global objective, and we are the major hindrance to their pursuit. If we are deemed incompetent and incapable of being the wall to prevent their aggression, the world is hurtling toward WWIII.

During the Cold War, the Soviets believed that America, and largely Ronald Reagan, was serious and had the ability and fortitude to defend Berlin and take whatever action was needed. Under Jimmy Carter, the world was laughing at us and had virtually no fear. The terrorist nations believed that Donald Trump meant what he said, but today, the fear is gone! That makes the president’s cognitive and physical condition of paramount importance.

Professor Holmes explained: “An incompetent head of state might yield to unwise policy counsel, broadcasting threats or promises the nation cannot keep. Idle threats discredit future professions of purpose. Or he could fail to craft believable threats or promises when circumstances demand a strong stance. An inconstant leader might suffer bewilderment or despair in the midst of a crisis or lash out with unforeseeable consequences…. Influential audiences could come to doubt American reliability in world affairs.”

The Bible speaks of the Last Days and the condition of mankind, describing them as perilous times.  We are there!  Eschatologically, you may disagree, but if you consider the current state of interpersonal and international relations, surely you acknowledge that we are in a serious time.   We need stability in the White House!   Now is not the time to manifest weakness or allow our enemies to deem us prime targets due to weakness.

I am praying for America.  I am praying for the souls of men.  I am praying for the safety of people.  I am praying for a return to moral sanity!   I am praying 2 Chronicles 7:14, and I ask all who pray and believe in God to join me.  

God bless you, and God bless America!
