Are we living in a Godless nation and have foolish elected leaders? Please do not get me wrong I know there are many people the trust in God and believe in Jesus trying to live for Christ yes, this includes some of our leaders. I love America I served my country, But God and Jesus I love more in will obey the word of God first. Psalm 118:8 It is better to take refuge in the Lord than to trust in man. Micah 7:5 Put no trust in a neighbor; have no confidence in a friend; guard the doors of your mouth from her who lies in your arms;
Jeremiah 17:5 Thus says the Lord: “Cursed is the man who trusts in man and makes flesh his strength, whose heart turns away from the Lord.
Psalm 118:9 It is better to take refuge in the Lord than to trust in princes.
Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.
However, I think that many people are suffering from emotional abuse from our elected leaders.The Bible does not use the words emotional abuse, but there are plenty of characteristics of emotional abuse addressed in Scripture.
Emotional abuse can take many forms, including verbal assaults, threats, and insults, such as has been coming from many elected leaders.
And non-verbal rejection, neglect, and isolation; these behaviors are recurring and have become a pattern of emotional abuse. We can only pray for the elected leaders who choose to abuse their position due to their foolishness.
I am basing the above title question on what is going on. Within our nation, our elected leaders support abortion, homosexuality, crt, cancel culture, day light mugging, and so much more, force their issues on the American population.
Politicians are boasting about the misuse of their position. Politicians are trying to intimidate parents into being quiet by using federal law enforcement.
Police being killed in an ambush, yet BLM and other anti-America groups running wild in the streets. Many of our elected leaders are being outright foolish.
I wonder What does the Bible says about foolishness.Foolishness results from a person misusing the intelligence God has given him. Do you see our leaders doing this?
A fool uses his reasoning skills to make wrong decisions. The most basic type of foolishness is denying God's existence or saying "no" to God (Psalm 14:1). The Bible associates folly with a quick temper (Proverbs 14:16–17), perverse speech (Proverbs 19:1), and disobedience to parents (Proverbs 15:5). We are born with innate foolishness, but discipline will help train us in wisdom (Proverbs 22:15).
Proverbs 19:3 says that foolishness is counterproductive: "A person's folly leads to their ruin." Jesus in Mark 7:22 uses a word which means "senselessness" and is translated "folly." In that context Jesus describes what comes out of the heart of man and defiles him. Foolishness is one of the evidences that man has a defiled, sinful nature. Proverbs 24:9 says, "The schemes of folly are sin." Foolishness, then, is really the breaking of God's law, for sin is lawlessness (1 John 3:4).
To the fool, God's way is foolishness. "The message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing." (1 Corinthians 1:18; cf. verse 23). The gospel seems to be foolishness to the unsaved because it doesn't make sense to them. The fool is entirely out of phase with God's wisdom. The gospel goes against the unbeliever's native intelligence and reason, yet "God was pleased through the foolishness of
what was preached to save those who believe" (1 Corinthians 1:21).
The believer in Christ receives the very nature of God (2 Peter 1:4), which includes the mind of Christ (1 Corinthians 2:16). By relying on the Holy Spirit's indwelling power, the believer can reject foolishness. His thoughts can please the Lord, and he can make decisions that glorify God as he enriches his life and the lives of those around him (Philippians 4:8–9; Ephesians 5:18—6:
