CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY JULY 20, 2023
FIFTY-FOUR YEARS AGO TODAY APOLLO 11 BLASTED OFF FROM THE LAUNCH PAD AT CAPE CANAVERAL, FLORIDA. ASTRONAUTS NEIL ARMSTRONG, BUZZ ALDRIN AND MICHAEL COLLINS WERE ON BOARD. ARMSTRONG BECAME THE FIRST MAN TO SET FOOT ON THE MOON. AND YET WITH THE VASTNESS OF SPACE AND THE BILLIONS, PERHAPS TRILLIONS OF STARS, THEY REALLY DIDN’T GO FAR.
THE PSALMIST SAYS THE HEAVENS ARE TELLING THE GLORY OF GOD. HOW PETTY OUR LITTLE SCHEMES AND POLITICAL JOCKEYING SEEM. WE ARE NOTHING MORE THAN GRASS, THAT RISES UP FOR A SEASON AND THEN DISAPPEARS, YET WE FOCUS ON THIS EARTH AND OUR PUNY AND PETTY AGENDAS AS IF THIS IS ALL THERE IS,
UNFORTUNATELY, TOO MANY PEOPLE WHO CLAIM TO KNOW JESUS DO THE SAME, PRACTICALLY WORSHIPPING ONE POLITICAL CANDIDATE AS IF HE CAN SOLVE ALL THE PROBLEMS THAT CONFRONT US.
THIS ONCE-GREAT NATION SEEMS TO BE IN DECLINE. TRY CALLING A COMPANY, OR ANYONE, AND YOU HEAR IT’S BEING RECORDED FOR QUALITY AND TRAINING PURPOSES. IF YOU DO REACH SOMEONE, THEY ARE USUALLY IN THE PHILIPPINES, NOT AMERICA. AND DON’T GET ME STARTED ON WOKE-ISM. WHO WILL SAVE US IF WE ARE TO BE SAVED. ONLY JESUS. I’M CAL THOMAS
