Extremely proud of the Afghanistan withdrawal
And it's Trump's fault
Who is proud of Biden’s withdrawal from Afghanistan? The Taliban.
John Kirby, Coordinator for Strategic Communications at the National Security Council in the White House presented a review of the 2021 withdrawal from Afghanistan and said Biden administration is “proud” of the operation which was marked by a suicide bombing at Kabul’s airport that killed 13 American service members and more than 100 Afghans.
When Fox News’ Peter Doocy asked, "John, who's going to get fired over this?" Kirby said the purpose of the document was a review and “not accountability.”
Kirby said, "So for all this talk of chaos, I just didn't see it.” Then Kirby resorted to the administration’s default: “It’s Trump’s fault.”
For the record, this was a document dump just before a holiday when the media and voters will be too distracted to remember Biden’s failure.
Has America wearied God?
In Malachi 2:17, the prophet tells Israel that they have “wearied God.” They ask “In what way have we wearied him?”
The answer: “When you say, every one that does evil is good in the sight of the LORD, and he delights in them; or, Where is the God of justice?” Israel had introduced a “new morality.” What God had called “evil” they said, God was now calling it good. And then they questioned God’s justice. God was tired of it.
People like Victor Davis Hanson says that America is in decline. Read it here.
I believe this is happening because America has wearied God for decades by impudently contradicting God’s standard of righteousness. For instance: Some people who say that they believe in God, have progressively ignored sin. They say, God loves sinners, therefore, sin is not that big of a deal.
Romans 6:1-2 says, “What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound? Certainly not!”
Here are 3 Biblical principles that America is guilty of violating:
The Bible says, God created only 2 genders — male and female (Genesis 1:27). But Google gender and you’ll get 105 genders according to one website.
The Bible says, marriage is a union between a man and woman (Matthew 19:4-6). But in 2015, the U.S. Supreme Court legalized same-sex marriage.
The Bible says, abortion is the assassination of innocent babies who are created in the image of God (Jeremiah 1:5). But in 1973, the U.S. Supreme Court legalized abortion resulting in the murder of 62 million babies in the womb. After 49 years, the Court reversed that evil decision.
American culture has called evil good and has questioned God’s justice. Whenever there is a mass shooting of some other kind of evil or natural disaster, mockers will inevitably ask, “Where is God?”
News Flash: We’re not living in God’s kingdom. We are living in a sin-cursed world where people follow “the ways of this world and of the ruler of the kingdom of the air, the spirit who is now at work in those who are disobedient.” (Ephesians 2:2)
Yes, America has wearied God. He has been patient with us. But for how long. Thomas Jefferson warned, “Indeed I tremble for my country when reflect that God is just: that his justice cannot sleep for ever.” Our nation needs to repent. There is still forgiveness in Christ.
On March 31, the National Weather Service reported 23 tornadoes hit Indiana killing 5 and injuring 11 people.
