From The Hill

Quote:
The bombings in Boston have only strengthened President Obama's resolve to strengthen international cooperation against terrorism, Secretary of State John Kerry said Friday.
“For this entire week, we've been in a direct confrontation with evil,” Kerry said. “President Obama has made this a critical component of his foreign policy, and obviously this just emphasizes that.”


I hate to have to disagree with the Secretary, but we have been "confronting evil" since at least 1979, especially since September 11, 2001.

Kerry openly advocated diplomacy over military during his failed campaign. His party got their wish and gained control and where has that led us?

I receive criticism every time I point out that we are in a spiritual battle, but until everyone understands this FACT, we will only attack the symptoms and never attack the root cause. You don't get the weeds out of your yard by snipping off the leaves and stems, you have to pull them out by the roots. America and the world need to come to grips with our rejection of the very God who holds the solution and reverse course.

If you have not read "The Harbinger" by Jonathan Cahn, I strongly recommend you pick up a copy and study it. He ties the prophesies and warnings given to ancient Israel and Judah 2500 years ago and their fate following their rejection of the warnings to the USA today following exactly that same path, even to the same warnings being given and the same calamities befalling us now.

I have the CD audio version, and Jonathan Cahn reads the book, so I can listen and drive at the same time. It is THE BOOK for our time.
