“A
REFRESHING
BOLDNESS”
is
the
sentiment
that
Tom
Kerry
uses
today
to
describe
a
mutual
feeling
throughout
over
half
of
the
population
in
America.
Within
this
same
mix
of
millions
are
the
scattered
few,
true
people
of
God
who
sense
a
likewise,
likeminded
confidence.
Many
who
have
endured
so
many
decades
in
God’s
True
Church
know
full
well
what
“politics-as-usual”
can
do
to
destroy
an
organization
when
human
nature
overcomes
our
godly
nature.
As
we
watched
the
excitement
mixed
with
tears
of
joy
in
the
faces
of
people
throughout
the
inauguration
weekend
last
week,
God’s
people
have
a
renewed
zeal.
Now,
more
than
ever
before,
we
can
boldly
speak
out
with,
not
only
our
continued
message
of
warning
to
our
nation,
but
go
beyond
to
an
entire
world
in
whose
peoples
are
ready
and
in
need
of
the
message
of
hope!
As
in
many
previous
messages
from
God’s
Unchanging
Word,
the
warning
message
has
always
underlined
the
need
for
“repentance.”
The
word
defined
simply
means
to
“change.”
Yet
this
change
drives
into
the
spiritual
aspect;
a
direction
from
an
evil
and
deceitful
mindset
to a
way
of
living
designed
by
God.
Change
is
needed.
And
this
week
we
witnessed
a
type
of
change
underway
so
desperately
needed
in
our
corrupt
leadership.
In
the
transfer
of
power
to
America’s
new
leader,
President
Donald
J.
Trump
took
the
oath
of
office
as
the
entire
world
watched
and
witnessed
via
today’s
modern
technology
in
real
time.
Whatever
“change”
this
means
within
the
nations
of
the
world,
good
or
bad,
their
headlines
reflect
the
personal
character
of a
man
who
does
not
play
“politics-as-usual.”
They
know,
as
the
European
Union
puts
it,
there
is
“a
New
Sherriff
in
town.”
We
also
know
that
without
God
we
can
do
nothing.
We
learned
through
the
prophet
Daniel,
that
“God
removes
kings,
and
sets
up
kings:
He
gives
wisdom
unto
the
wise,
and
knowledge
to
them
that
know
understanding”
(Daniel
2:21)
God
is
Still
in
Control!
His
“unseen
hand”
has
been
with
His
people
from
the
time
of
Abraham,
Isaac,
and
Jacob;
to
their
journey
out
of
ancient
Egypt;
through
their
demise
in
the
kingdoms
of
ancient
Israel
and
Judah;
to
their
loss
of
identity
across
the
continent
of
Europe;
and
even
now
in
these
United
States
of
America
whose
founders
based
their
Independence
and
our
Constitution
on
the
“unchanging”
word
of
God
and
His
principles.
If
history
is
to
be
our
guide,
we
also
know
that
with
godly
leadership,
God
has
always
fulfilled
His
promise
of
prosperity
and
protection.
New
on
the
Web
Site
This
Week
This
week
we
are
offering
Chapter
Three
of
the
Five
Part
series,
“Today,
If
You
Hear
His
Voice,”
and
entitled
appropriately
by
Tom
Kerry,
“Your
Calling.”
Your
continued
endurance
in
the
work
of
God
adds
to
the
admonition
to
“make
your
calling
and
election
sure.”
To
respond
to
God’s
calling
was
your
first
righteous
choice.
More
importantly,
your
prayers
are
being
heard.
As
the
entire
world
has
its
spotlights
on
America
once
again,
we,
too,
are
in
the
spotlight
with
the
commission
Jesus
Christ
of
Nazareth
gave
us
two
thousand
years
ago.
If
God
chooses
to
grant
our
prayers
for
His
purpose,
He
will!
