POLL: TRUMP IMPEACHMENT TRIAL WILL BRING FUTHER DIVISION, MOST AMERICANS SAY

Poll: Trump Impeachment Trial Will Bring Further Division, Most Americans Say

(Charisma Media Archives)

Although the Senate impeachment trial of former President Donald J. Trump is set to begin the week of Feb. 8, more than half of Americans believe it will bring further division to an already fragmented nation, according to results of a survey by Rasmussen Reports.

The national telephone and online survey revealed that voters, by a 3 to 1 margin, expect the upcoming trial of the nation's former president to leave the country more divided than unified, says a report of the research in the New York Post.

Only 19% of those polled said the trial would help unify Americans, while 20% said it would make no difference. 

And half of those questioned also said that the Senate should not vote to convict Trump of "high crimes and misdemeanors," while 45% say Trump should be convicted.

Last Wednesday, the House voted 232-197 to impeach Trump via a single article of impeachment without a trial.

And earlier this week, 45 Senate Republicans voted against holding the trial, led by Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., who said the impeachment was "dead on arrival." 

He and others view the trial as unconstitutional since, as Sen. James Lankford, R.-Okla., put it, "The U.S. Constitution outlines the basic process for impeachment and trial of the president, but it says nothing about trying a former president."

A two-thirds Senate majority would be required to convict the former president, meaning all Democrats and 17 Republicans would need to affirm his impeachment.

BE STRONG IN THE LORD

 


Be Strong in The Lord

Michael Edwards


Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. Eph 6:10 KJV


"Be strong in the Lord and the power of His might" is a message that I need to remember. 

I need to trust in the Lord, not myself, to be strong in the Lord's power, not my own. 

I know that I am relying on my strength when I am fearful and struggling, trusting in myself instead of Christ. 

It is only when we realize how weak we really are, that we will turn from ourselves and truly trust in the Lord.

Therefore I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in distresses, in persecutions, in difficulties, in behalf of Christ; for when I am weak, then I am strong. 2 Cor 12:10 BSB

When we abide in ourselves and our problems, we drift away from God. 

Apart from Christ, we are easily distracted, overwhelmed and defeated, able to do nothing of real value for the Lord or anyone. 

It is only when we abide wholeheartedly in the Him and the power of His might that the Spirit leads us into fruitfulness.

I am the vine and you are the branches. The one who remains in Me, and I in him, will bear much fruit. For apart from Me you can do nothing.   John 15:5 BSB

Jesus must be first in our life. 

We need to utilize His supernatural life and power that dwells in us. 

When we see ourselves yoked to Him, we are strong and courageous, walking above our circumstances in His strength, assurance and peace.

Be on your guard; stand firm in the faith; be courageous; be strong. Do everything in love.     1 Cor 16:13-14 BSB

Let's focus on the Lord's power and strength so the Holy Spirit can lead us out of fear and into faith. 

In Christ, all things are possible for those who believe.

Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight. Pro 3:5-6 BSB

The Blessing of Children

Behold, children are a heritage from the LORD, the fruit of the womb is a reward.

— Psalm 127:3

If there is one thing which is made abundantly clear, both in the Old and New Testaments, it is that children are a gift from God. 

They are loaned to us for a little while and we, as parents, are responsible for giving them a godly education. 

We are to rear them in the nurture and admonition of the Lord—that line upon line, precept upon precept, His truth is to be taught to them.

In our society, children are not always looked upon as a blessing. 

But God’s Word is clear. 

The psalmist goes on to say, “Happy is the man that has his quiver full of them,” and a full quiver has eight to fifteen arrows!   

To have children is a wonderful gift and a great opportunity to be a part of God’s creative process.

If you have children, thank Him for them daily and ask constantly for His help to raise them. 

Jesus promised to lead gently those sheep who have lambs.

Question to ponder:
Take some time to reflect upon the gift of children and pray for your own children or for a child who is special to you. How can you bless him or her today?

A OFFENDED BROTHER IS UNYIELDING

An Offended brother

Is more Unyielding than a Fortified City,

And Disputes are like

The Barred Gates of a Citadel.


Proverbs 18:19

WITHOUT FAITH IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO PLEASE GOD

 

 


And without faith it is impossible to please him, for whoever would draw near to God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him.


Hebrews 11:6 ESV

BELIEVE AND RECEIVE

Truly I tell you, if anyone says to this mountain, ‘Go, throw yourself into the sea,’ and does not doubt in their heart but believes that what they say will happen, it will be done for them.

REVELATION - THE WHOLE WORLD RECEIVES THEIR “GOD”

Revelation 13:1-10, AMP


As I stood on the sandy beach, I saw a Beast

[The Lawless One, the Antichrist, 2 Thessalonian 2]

Coming up out of the sea with Ten Horns and Seven heads.


2 And the Beast that I saw resembled a Leopard,

His feet were like those of a Bear,

And his mouth was like that of a Lion.

And to him the Dragon [Satan] gave his [own] might and power,

His [own] Throne and Great Dominion.


3 And one of his heads seemed to have a deadly wound.

But his death stroke was healed,

AND THE WHOLE EARTH WENT AFTER THE BEAST

In amazement and admiration.


4 They fell down and did homage to the Dragon,

Because he had bestowed on the Beast

All his Dominion and authority;

They also praised and worshiped the Beast,

Exclaiming, Who is a match for the Beast,

And who can make war against him?


5 And the Beast was given the power of speech,

Uttering Boastful and Blasphemous words,

And he was given freedom to exert his authority

And to exercise his will during forty-two months

[Three and half years]. [Dan. 7:8]


6 And he opened his mouth to speak slanders against God,

Blaspheming His Name and His Abode,

[Even vilifying] those who live in Heaven.


7 He was further permitted TO WAGE WAR

On God's Holy People (the Saints)

And to overcome them.

And power was given him to extend his authority

OVER EVERY TRIBE AND PEOPLE

AND TONGUE AND NATION.

[Dan. 7:21, 25.]


8 AND ALL THE INHABITANTS OF THE EARTH

WILL FALL DOWN IN ADORATION AND PAY HOMAGE,

EVERYONE whose name has not been recorded

From the foundation of the World in The Book Of LIFE

Of the Lamb that was slain [in sacrifice]

FROM THE FOUNDATION OF THE WORLD.


9 IF ANYONE IS ABLE TO HEAR, LET HIM LISTEN:


10 Whoever leads into captivity

Will himself go into captivity;

If anyone slays with the sword,

With the sword must he be slain.

HEREIN IS [THE CALL FOR] PATIENCE

AND THE FAITH AND FIDELITY OF THE SAINTS

(GOD'S PEOPLE). [Jer. 15:2.]

(Revelation 13:1-10)


TAKE MY HAND PRECIOUS LORD

 

Precious Lord, take my hand
Lead me on, let me stand
I'm tired, I'm weak, I'm lone
Through the storm, through the night
Lead me on to the light
Take my hand precious Lord, lead me home

When my way grows drear, precious Lord linger near
When my light is almost gone
Hear my cry, hear my call
Hold my hand lest I fall
Take my hand precious Lord, lead me home

When the darkness appears and the night draws near
And the day is past and gone
At the river I stand
Guide my feet, hold my hand
Take my hand precious Lord, lead me home

Precious Lord, take my hand
Lead me on, let me stand
I'm tired, I'm weak, I'm lone
Through the storm, through the night
Lead me on to the light
Take my hand precious Lord, lead me home (lead me home)

Amid a boycott in response to its politically motivated decision to drop Mike Lindell's MyPillow products, shares of Bed Bath & Beyond plunged 36.4% at the close of trading Thursday.

The retail chain suffered its biggest one-day loss since going public in June 1992.The consumer organization Media Action Network launched the boycott of Bed, Bath & Beyond after the retail chain stopped selling Lindell's products due to his support of President Trump's claim that fraud affected the outcome of the 2020 election. Retailers Wayfair and Kohl's also have stopped selling MyPillow products.

Lindell, famous for his TV ads, employs more than 1,500 people at his Minnesota plant. He recounted to WND last May the remarkable transformation in his life through his faith in Jesus Christ.

BIDEN'S GOAL 'IS TO PUT GUN MAKERS OUT OF BUSINESS'

 

Biden's goal 'is to put gun makers out of business'

If guns really are no benefit, Democrats 'ought to ask their bodyguards to disarm'

[Editor's note: This story originally was published by Real Clear Politics.]

By John R. Lott Jr.
Real Clear Politics"The coming years will decide the survival of our Second Amendment,” President Trump warned before the election.

Trump was right.

TRENDING: Michelle Obama's impeachable offense

During the 2020 campaign, Joe Biden promised a long list of gun control regulations. There is a reason that Michael Bloomberg spent $125 million helping Biden in Florida and something over $600 million nationally in the general election.

The agenda includes: classifying many semi-automatic rifles and magazines holding more than 10 bullets as Class 3 weapons (which can require nine months or more for approval and a $200 fee), national gun licensing, “red flag” laws that let judges take away people’s guns without a hearing, background checks on the private transfer of guns, and bans on some semi-automatic firearms that happen to look like military weapons.

The first gun control bill that Biden will push in his first 100 days would make gun makers and sellers civilly liable for misuse of guns they sell. 

That means people could sue manufacturers whenever a crime, accident, or suicide occurs with a gun. 

We aren’t talking about cases where there was a product liability issue or where laws are violated, such as selling a gun without a valid background check. 

While it isn’t stated, the goal is to put the gun makers out of business.

Can you imagine what would happen to the car or other products if similar rules were to apply? 

Some 4.5 million Americans are injured each year in car accidents, and 40,000 die. 

When accidents occurred because a driver wasn’t paying attention or was driving recklessly, it makes no sense to sue Ford for lost wages, medical costs, and pain and suffering.  

Criminals also frequently use cars when they commit crimes. 

Why should car companies be liable for that?

Is Biden's goal to put gun makers out of business?

Computers are used to plan crimes, hack into private servers, and steal intellectual property. 

If Apple were held liable, it would very quickly be drowning in lawsuits. 

If the company even survived, its products would become much more expensive in order to cover the new legal fees.

Guns aren’t any different. 

Far less than 1% of guns are ever used in crimes, suicides or accidents, and when they are, it’s virtually always the result of the user’s actions. 

Many other products, such as motorcycles, have much higher probabilities of causing harm. 

The death rate per motorcycle is 0.05%; the date rate for guns is 0.008%

The latter includes murder, accidental deaths and suicides. 

Guns are also used defensively about 2 million times in the average year, according to the FBI. 

Will government reward gun makers when their products are used to save lives?

My own research has found that increased gun ownership is associated with less crime, not more. 

Poor people in the highest crime areas benefit the most from owning guns, and gun maker liability would be sure to make guns unaffordable for these individuals.

Police are important to fighting crime, but people can’t rely on them for protection. 

Officers virtually always arrive at the scene of a crime after the perpetrator has fled. 

Police know this. 

When a 2016 survey by the National Association of Chiefs of Police asked 15,000 chiefs and sheriffs if law-abiding citizens should be able to buy guns for self-defense, 88% answered yes. 

PoliceOne surveyed its 450,000 members, and 77% answered that legally armed citizens are extremely or very important to reducing crime rates.

If high-profile Democrat politicians really believe that guns produce no benefits, they ought to ask their bodyguards to disarm. 

These politicians would disarm poor people, and at the same time would never enter their neighborhoods without armed guards.

Gun control advocates claim that the gun makers are responsible for any harm from their weapons because they specifically cater to the criminal market with low prices, easy concealability, corrosion resistance, accurate firing, and high firepower. 

Lightweight, compact firearms may appeal to criminals, but they also make life easier for the 19.5 million Americans who carry concealed handguns. 

Women are most likely to prefer smaller, lightweight guns.

Many Democrats also try to blame gun makers for accidental deaths that they claim are “foreseeable.” Supposedly, manufacturers aren’t doing enough to make their guns child-proof.Nationwide in 2018, 30 children under 5, and 54 under 15, died from accidental gun deaths

But with 120 million people owning 300 million guns, accidental deaths from guns are far less “foreseeable” than from many other products. 

Gun owners must also be very responsible, or such accidents would be much more frequent.

By contrast, nearly 100 children under 5 drown in bathtubs each year. 

Another 350 drown in pools. 

Should bathtub and pool makers be sued for the “harm” their products cause? 

What about bicycle makers for kids killed in accidents? 

Biden and Democrats want to ban guns. 

And if they abolish the Senate filibuster, as they keep threatening, they could do it.
