Biden’s Word

Joe Biden is taking flak for a tweet he posted this weekend, “My word as a Biden: I’ve never been more optimistic about America’s future than I am today.” I won’t bore you by pointing out the absurdity of Joe Biden telling us to trust the “word” of the Biden family. 

This daily report has laid out lie after lie after lie, many of them very damaging to the Republic, like when Biden lies about the “systemic racism of law enforcement.” But I will pass on the stupidity of his choice of words for now. 

Biden has big problems, and so do we. 

For example, according to the latest poll by NBC News, 71% of Americans believe the country is headed in the wrong direction. That’s the eighth time in the past nine surveys when the “wrong track” sentiment exceeded 70%, and the longest stretch of “sustained pessimism” in the poll’s history. 

But Biden is telling nearly three-fourths of the country not to believe their own eyes, everything is just fine.

Why is there such angst, depression and fear in a nation known for its congenital optimism? There are many reasons. 

Rampant violent crime, which is demonic in its intensity and naked nihilism. 

The COVID pandemic and the loss of freedom that followed has had a big impact on attitudes.

Americans believe our enemies are getting stronger as we get weaker. 

There is incredible corruption at every level of government and society – from the White House and the FBI to the local school board. 

There is a falling away of faith, and a radical rejection of normalcy. 

All of these things are evidence that more and more Americans are abandoning any concept of a “virtuous life,” and I believe that explains much of the pessimism. 

There is a huge debate raging right now within “the Church” about what the role of churches should be in America in 2023. 

There are powerful forces arguing from the pulpit that Christians should abandon politics because it is hurting the cause of Christ, and they are also arguing that the decaying culture should be brought into the church in order for the church to be “relevant.” 

Either of these developments are bad on their own at any time, but they are especially destructive during the crises we’re facing now.

The problems America faces now cannot be solved without the active involvement of Christians at every level. The modern American church will continue to lose attendees and souls if it continues down the road away from biblical truth and how we’re supposed to live our lives.

As I argued in the beginning of this report, we must rearm militarily. But we must also rearm spiritually.
