CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY NOVEMBER 4, 2020
IS IT OVER? AS I WRITE THIS COMMENTARY THE VOTES HAVE NOT BEEN COUNTED, BUT IN SOME STATES THEY WILL NOT HAVE BEEN COUNTED FOR DAYS, POSSIBLY WEEKS MORE. WHAT A WAY TO RUN AN ELECTION.
THE BIGGER QUESTION IS HOW DID WE GET HERE? WHY THE DIVISION AND ANGER? ONE ANSWER IS WE WORSHIP FALSE IDOLS. FOR MANY, GOVERNMENT HAS BECOME AN IDOL, REPLACING GOD. GOVERNMENT AND THE WORLD OFFER THE IMMEDIATE. GOD OFFERS THE ETERNAL. LIKE ANCIENT IDOLS THAT CAN’T DELIVER, GOVERNMENT CAN’T DELIVER WHAT WE NEED MOST.
SECOND, OUR UNIVERSITIES AND PUBLIC SCHOOLS HAVE LARGELY BECOME RE-EDUCATION CAMPS, TEACHING REVISIONIST HISTORY AND SECULAR-PROGRESSIVE IDEOLOGY.
THIRD, SOCIAL MEDIA HAS TAKEN THE PLACE OF LEARNING. WE ACQUIRE IDEAS PASSIVELY AND DON’T ACTIVELY PURSUE TRUTH, IF WE BELIEVE OBJECTIVE TRUTH EXISTS.
AND FOURTH, WE BASE TOO MANY OF OUR DECISIONS ON FEELINGS. WHAT MAKES US FEEL GOOD ABOUT OURSELVES BECOMES PARAMOUNT, NOT WHAT IS GOOD FOR THE COUNTRY. IT IS SUGAR VS. VEGETABLES.
GOD CASTS THE ONLY VOTE THAT MATTERS. HE KNOWS THE OUTCOME OF THIS ELECTION. WORSHIP AND THANK HIM. I’M CAL THOMAS.
