It seems that in so many ways there is absolute confusion in many different realms of life. This is what I mean.

As many of you know, although we don’t have TV, I do use the cell phone during the morning exercising. Thus, I receive an update on the “news” of the day, locally and around the world. Granted, much of these “news” are of a conservative in nature rather than a liberal one, but still they would be considered an update on the “news” of the day.

Today, it is good (as a background) to remember that the United States has a mere 4% of the world population. But in America (that has been touted as the “land of the free”) we realize that half or perhaps even 80% of the population is liberal or leans in that direction. Even though the world (with 96% of the world population) looks on America is leading the way and in financing both in this country and the rest of the world, we know deep down that we can’t do it all! If only a portion of the nation were to oppose communism, oppose the Muslim crisis, fight the wars (such as Ukraine, or Israel, or the threat of China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea). We just couldn’t and can’t do it all.

And if this country were to realize that half of the country were balanced regarding Climate Change (and most now hold this view), if half of the country were to be not pro-feminist (which would be perhaps 80% or so of the population), and if they were balanced regarding the political views (which would be perhaps 20 or 30% of the public), we wonder what would happen! Then there are the 6.5 million or more illegal immigrants crossing into the United States from the south. These men and women, who come from perhaps 80 different, countries who come without permission, cause a huge problem.

Yes a few days ago I saw a video of more of these illegal immigrants on trains coming to this country. Where do they go—and where do they come from? We know that many of them enter America from these different nations, go to hospitable cities, even though they are not invited. Again we ask where do 6.5 or more millions of them go? We know that they are housed in hotels and elsewhere, but where do they go? How can a small country like the U.S.A accommodate them?

Yes, we know that they come to the USA illegally, but then what? Do they stay with friends? And are they permitted to stay longer than a week or a month? Who pays for the bills if they need to go to the hospital? And then we must ask, if they are not permitted to work (be employed) by the government, then what? We wonder. These 6.5 millions of illegal immigrants, perhaps soon to swell into 10 or 12 or more million, Where are they to go and what shall they do? If they wish to repent and get right with God and others, then what?

We realize that there are massive problems beyond this. Not merely immigration, or the influx of drugs (and perhaps tens of thousands of deaths—all of which are preventable), or the terrorist attacks, promoted by Hamas, Iran, and others, and what else? Personally, we wonder whether this is too much for a tiny country to handle. It does seem huge and beyond our reach. We know that some may limit this to “the southern border” and both China and Mexico. But it goes beyond this.

Yes, we are living in an evil world. It is utterly upside-down at the present time. Where will it end? We don’t know but realize that God knows and cares. He will work all of this out to His glory.

Personally, we feel like “giving up” on everything—but this would be unwise, of course. God has a reason for it all and He will work trough it all. Recently we had an article that showed that people like Elizabeth Taylor, Rock Hudson, and James Dean, all died tragic deaths and surely are now in Hades. They lived their lives and received the world’s acclaim, but are now gone, without Christ and without hope. So very sad! This could be duplicated dozens or even hundreds of times!

So there are numerous problems and this is why we say that there is “confusion” and this would include many different factors. What do you think? What do you suggest? What do you think?
