(1) Many voters claim to be religious, but don't understand the Gospel. They seem to think that their own "morality" is what makes them right with God, and that their fear of God is what keeps them right with God. #AlabamaSenateElection#AlabamaSpecialElection@MooreSenate
(2) Wisdom absolutely begins with the fear of God. That's true. But while we start there, we must not end there. Especially when it causes us to miss the Gospel.

(1) Debbie Wesson Gibson called for Judge Moore to be impeached back in JANUARY 2016, for his defense of Biblical marriage. These screenshots are from the FB page of Donna Wesson Smalley, who I think is Debbie Wesson Gibson's sister.
(3) As her FB page also showed, Donna Wesson Smalley was an ENORMOUS Bernie Sanders supporter. It legitimately took me 10-15 minutes to scroll through all of her posts from January 2016 alone, almost all of which were overtly in support of Sen. Sanders.
(1) I'm not sure where you stand with the Lord, but I'm firmly convinced that Trump was chosen by the Lord to free His people from the grasps of the left. All leaders are from God (Romans 13:1), although some are for good and others are as more of a punishment.
(2) Where people often get confused is by thinking that someone has to be a "good moral person" to be USED BY GOD or to be saved, but neither is true. Granted, if you are truly saved, God will change your heart both immediately and over time. (E.g., Ezekiel 36:27; 1 Thess 4:3-8.)
(3) In Trump's case, I don't think he's a Christian -- yet. But he is most certainly being used by God -- and this is not without precedent.
(1b) Here's the link to the underlying article, if you're interested. The full caption wouldn't display in the preview, which is why I'm sending it along separately.
(1) Sure thing. To the first part, about the War of Gog and Magog, Ezekiel chapters 38-39 is a great place to start.
(2) And of course for this to happen at all, there had to BE an Israel again. Israel had ceased to exist prior to the Balfour Declaration of 1917, which opened the door for the Jews to begin to return to the homeland.
(3) But at first, it was a trickle. 60,000 Jews in 1918. 174,610 in 1931. And so on. Here are some numbers, which I assume are accurate but haven't checked.
(1) #Jerusalem is the rightful capital of #Israel. Today, President Trump formally declared something that God decreed a long time ago. (See, e.g., Matthew 5:34)
(2) The Islamic world is up in arms about this common sense proclamation. The "religion of peace" has called for "days of rage" in response to a simple proclamation of truth.
(3) Going a step further, Hamas says President Trump has "opened the gates of hell" through this action. (I suppose that's not surprising, come from the Religion of Pieces.)
(1) The Christian pursues holiness and righteousness, not inclusion and acceptance of sin.
(2) Want proof? Here's Jesus speaking on the issue: “If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word ... He who does not love Me does not keep My words; and the word which you hear is not Mine but the Father’s who sent Me." (Jn 14:23-24)
(3) And the Apostle Peter: “As obedient children, do not be conformed to the passions of your former ignorance, but as he who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct, since it is written, 'You shall be holy, for I am holy.'” (1 Peter 1:14-16)
