We pause to comment on the state of the nation. Recent events have further exposed the rot within America. I announce my doomed campaign for president and in the unlikely event my candidacy does not catch on, I endorse nobody. Crime, debt, attacks on the Republic, it's all here in abbreviated form. We finish by referring back to a recent message on the fall of the empire, and have no good news to add apart from a reminder that God has a plan and is ultimately in control. If you're politically squeamish, you might want to wait until we get back to Ephesians 6 next time! Edited down from the original 50+ minutes... you're welcome.
