Looking to the End SERIES: “Statesmen Who Fear the Lord”

“Statesmen Who Fear the Lord” in our US Government Can “Hold in Check a Powerful Currents of Evil”

“While many of our rulers are active agents of Satan, God also has his agents among the leading men of the nation. The enemy moves upon his servants to propose measures that would greatly impede the work of God; but statesmen who fear the Lord are influenced by holy angels to oppose such propositions with unanswerable arguments. Thus a few men will hold in check a powerful current of evil” (The Great Controversy, 610).

Comment: In America, “God also has his agents among the leading men of the nation.” “Statesmen who fear the Lord” are much needed. By their wise counsel, they can “hold in check a powerful current of evil.”

Ripped from the Headlines:
"A Republican-backed bill that would ban “sexually explicit” drag shows, but allow drag queens to continue participating in drag story times at libraries, won approval from a Senate committee Thursday. Senate Bill 147 from Sen. Lindsey Tichenor, R-Smithfield, is a

proposal to regulate “adult-oriented businesses” and “sexually explicit” performances in public spaces. The House version from Rep. Nancy Tate, R-Brandenburg, is House Bill 402. “We regulate and monitor insurance, horse racing, the financial industry, alcohol, real estate, the list is long,” Tichenor told members of the Senate Joint Committee on Veterans, Military Affairs and Public Protection, who voted along party lines to advance the bill. “The intent of this bill is to set a regulation around this industry to ensure we are protecting communities and minors within those communities from exposure that may lead to negative adverse secondary effects,” she said."
