How to Cross over the Chasm

I’m doing some of the final editing for The Glass Bridge (Book #7 of the Bell Mountain series), knowing it will still be some months before it’s in print, and wondering what else will have gone wrong with America by then.

We are at the mercy of rulers and opinion-shapers who actively and purposely ruin our prosperity, undermine our national security, corrupt our morals, make a shambles of the rule of law, and debauch our culture. God has permitted this as punishment for our sins–especially the sins of pride and ingratitude. These leaders are the scourge in His hands.

Government by the criminally insane is a very bad business.

Lest we kid ourselves into thinking God will just let us out from under this without some gesture of good faith on our part, turn to that colossal rusting junkyard we call history. Those broken, unsalvageable heaps piled up to the sky were once civilizations.

But whoa–this is getting awfully heavy, isn’t it? Not at all in the spirit of the book I’m editing.

In the book, the glass bridge stands for a perilous passage that can only be crossed, if crossed at all, by faith. Not faith in our own cleverness; not faith in the works of our hands or the inventions of our minds; not faith in who we are, or who we think we are: but faith only in the wisdom, the righteousness, the sovereign power, and the divine love of the only living God.

This is the faith that’ll get us across the glass bridge.

This, and no other.

  1. Our leaders, have very dark souls, they worship Satan, this is why they are so anti-Christian, and so pro-Muslim.Most Americans, have no idea, just how ruthless and evil minded our so-called leaders are.The children of today, are so brainwashed, that unless they have specialized training in just how evil their leaders are, this country, this world,is doomed to a miserable and unfathomable future.
