Conservative commentators

My computer is down and I don't own a TV. So I wanted to listen to something at least so I turned on the radio and news of the shooting came through. After today's shooting of the Congressman and others not one of these conservative commentators has mentioned the word God, Jesus, sin or repentance. I feel a growing sense of danger overall for this country but also a foreboding that conservatism's major players mainly seem to advocate returning to a set of principles instead of the living God. You likely realize it also. Secular humanism is certainly a deception but why isn't secular conservatism seen as the flip side of the same deceptive coin.These commentators may claim to be Christian but I haven't heard a single word about God in their responses today. I'm not wanting to argue politics but I'm grieved.

I wonder what the reaction would've been if mr. Vought had simply replied to the question, (posed in the video), by quoting John 3:18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.

I wonder if the word of God would've come into question on the floor?

Meanwhile, not one of the household name very famous conservative pundits have once mentioned the name of God and national sin. Can this in the end be as damaging as any rage and anger from the left? I've never listened to these folks before now except a tiny bit but for the second day in a row if they believe in Christianity and this nation's need to return to God they sure remain silent about it. Won't tune in tomorrow.

I used to wonder how some people could pride themselves on being able to recognize false prophets/pulpit pimps and be clueless to the "political pimps". It's amazing. I do believe there's a great deal of idolatry and "itchy ears” involved. You have to really be discerning because so many people are just merchandising the name of God and the title "christian”.

I don't listen to them either but some of my relatives have. When I was staying with them I would hear a bit. I noticed these commentators made me angry about whatever they were discussing. These dear relatives were very passionate about whatever the trending political issues were. Being in California there are plenty issues a politically minded conservative can worry over. I know that these commentators distracted me from the work of the Kingdom and waiting on the Lord for guidance. I have found that these voices become more of a temptation when I am not focused on Him. As the "prophets of the hour," they provide a vision of what needs to change to make the land profitable and successful again. These prophet-like figures can show up in any field and when we get some perspective on their projections the culture has learned to say, "It was something from the period." That comment is nothing more than admitting that these people have been prophesying from their own souls or under the inspiration of the Principalities and Powers of the Air.

EDIT: My comments are in reference to the commentators on American Talk Radio.

It seems that many on Sermon Index want to criticize the conservative news commentators especially the Fox News Network. I do not get the news from one news source, but from a variety of news sources hoping to get some truth by comparison. There is no doubt that the Fox News Network as a whole promotes the conservative, Republican agenda, but I am thankful that they do allow men such as Tony Perkins on their programs that give a Christian perspective on what is being reported.

I have never seen anything like the negative and often untrue reporting from the liberal networks such as CNN and MSNBC. Their agenda was to get Hillary Clinton elected as president, and they often quoted polls that did not give Donald Trump a chance of being elected, and now they are working overtime to try to bring this president down with attacks and propaganda, not reporting the news, but their own liberal agenda.

I believe that Christians should be engaged with what is going on in this nation, so that they can pray intelligently and accurately. I also believe that we can spend too much time watching news programs and political commentaries, and the Lord has dealt with me personally about this.

Intercession and spiritual warfare are exposing the enemy, and demons are actually manifesting themselves right before our very eyes. The hatred towards Christians in this nation has risen up to another level, and now is showing itself especially from some of our nations highest institutions.

Christians have a choice to make, and they can either refuse to face what is going on and allow the powers of darkness to take over our nation with the excuse that we are of another kingdom, or they can pray for revival and awakening, engaging the enemy in spiritual warfare on the basis of the victory of Jesus Christ over the powers of darkness.

God is looking for overcomers that will be victorious in every arena of life. We are more than conquerors through Him that loved us.

Welllll....you ought to know to promote Jesus as Savior on a news cast will invite the wrath of the LGBT crowd and maybe earn you a bullet in your body....so to save my hide and my job one does whatever it takes to accomplish it - so, they think. I suspect to be a Christian journalist would be a difficult job - reporting news without commenting on the whys and wherefores.

My opinion.

With my computer down and not owning a TV I listened to radio for two days in wake of the shootings. Limbaugh nor Hannity never once mentioned God nor the need for national repentance on all sides. Hannity claims to be Christian (he is Catholic as was O'Reilly) but nothing is ever said but get away from liberalism. What about returning to God? Limbaugh is many times a sarcastic world class smart aleck to say the least. That's my opinion of course. Then I listened a bit to a conservative hero named Michael Savage and I won't even burden you going there. But I listened of my own free will so any fault is with me. Is mainstream conservatism just the flip side of the secular humanistic progressive coin? If the "liberals" are wrong what is so right about conservatism without God? Some of these conservative talk show hosts may object and say you have got it wrong because I believe in God. Well, after listening all I can say is one couldn't tell it from listening to you.

Matthew 7:24

The question we should always ask ourselves is does this bring glory to God. That is the true test. If it doesn't get away from it whatever it is.
