2 Chronicles 36:11-14
Zedekiah was twenty-one years old when he began to reign, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem. He did what was evil in the sight of the Lord his God. He did not humble himself before Jeremiah the prophet, who spoke from the mouth of the Lord. He also rebelled against King Nebuchadnezzar, who had made him swear by God. He stiffened his neck and hardened his heart against turning to the Lord, the God of Israel. All the officers of the priests and the people likewise were exceedingly unfaithful, following all the abominations of the nations. And they polluted the house of the Lord that he had made holy in Jerusalem.
Matthew 23:1-39
Then Jesus said to the crowds and to his disciples, “The scribes and the Pharisees sit on Moses' seat, so practice and observe whatever they tell you—but not what they do. For they preach, but do not practice. They tie up heavy burdens, hard to bear, and lay them on people's shoulders, but they themselves are not willing to move them with their finger. They do all their deeds to be seen by others. For they make their phylacteries broad and their fringes long, ...

Galatians 5:19-26
Now the works of the flesh are evident: sexual immorality, impurity, sensuality, idolatry, sorcery, enmity, strife, jealousy, fits of anger, rivalries, dissensions, divisions, envy, drunkenness, orgies, and things like these. I warn you, as I warned you before, that those who do such things will not inherit the kingdom of God. But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law. ...
1 Timothy 3:1-5
The saying is trustworthy: If anyone aspires to the office of overseer, he desires a noble task. Therefore an overseer must be above reproach, the husband of one wife, sober-minded, self-controlled, respectable, hospitable, able to teach, not a drunkard, not violent but gentle, not quarrelsome, not a lover of money. He must manage his own household well, with all dignity keeping his children submissive, for if someone does not know how to manage his own household, how will he care for God's church?

Do any Politicians follow the above?
Just started reading the Jan/Feb Issue. Didn't like all the political renderings that are present in your magazine now. It used to be about Christ and his Kingdom, now it seems to be about politics and support of a Deceiving President. P.14 shows the overdoses as attributed to immigration, when most of the deaths were from Greedy Pharmaceutical companies making money from Opioids. Check the CDC. Drug overdoses resulted in 70,237 deaths during 2017; among these, 47,600 (67.8%) involved opioids, 2/3's. immigration is a problem but not the main one. P.17 reference to Samuel 8:4-22 would have you think they were talking about modern day USA. Big spending Government levying taxes and confiscating people's wealth when I read it differetly, as a people who turn away from God and were punished. NO WHERE DOES IT STATE WHAT WAS MENTIONED ABOVE. Please stick to Biblical meanings. I am not a Democrat , Socialist or Republican. I believe abortion is wrong, Homosexuality is wrong. I am a follower of Christ and adhere to the 10 Commandments and the Sermon on the Mount. I am NOT a follower of Trump and his unrepentant ways. If this continues I will have to cancel my affiliation
In the what's happening in the world today, I read someone's article extolling the virtues of the new Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh. The article praised him for all his credentials. But I wish to show an article that was in a newspaper from a Republican, as follows: Who among us voters has the time and ability to watch and listen to all of the Brett M. Kavanaugh hearings and testimonies or read the transcripts? How many of us can make a fully informed opinion? We are not permitted to read the results of the FBI background investigations. The protests and harassment of senators serve no purpose other than to draw media attention. A person who is drunk can do many things. What he or she often cannot do is form long-term memories. That capability can shut down. Thus, Christine Blasey Ford’s alleged attackers, who she said were drunk, would likely have no memory of the incident, even the next day. On the other hand, as a sexual assault victim, I know that you remember, for your entire life, the faces and actions of your attackers. It was imperative that the FBI evaluate the likelihood that Judge Brett M. Kavanaugh was involved by investigating other allegations. REPENT!
IS DOOMED BY HIS ACTIONS. My wife and I are in retirement and on a fixed income, bIn response to the above, only two pages later (page 30, 31) in Beyond today under The FEAR OF GOD: Proverbs 22:4 points out the blessings that result from this type of reverential attitude toward God : " By humility and the fear of the Lord are riches and honor and life. Where is the HUMILITY in this man? Proverbs 8:13 " The fear of the LORD is to hate evil; pride and arrogance and the evil way and perverse mouth I hate. All attributes of this man. THOSE WHO POSSESS GODLY FEAR WILL RESIST THE URGE TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF OTHERS BY ABUSING THEIR POSITIONS OF AUTHORITY! Nehemiah recorded : But the former governors who were before me laid burdens on his people, and took from them bread and wine, besides forty shekels of silver. Yes even their servants bore rule over the people. but I did not do so, because of the fear of GOD! This person does NOT fear GOD.
I LOVE THIS MAGAZINE AND READ IT IN IT'S ENTIRETY ! PRAY FOR THIS MAN TO REPENT.
Just read the article about respect for authority in the January/February by Janet Treadway. You are right in saying Satan works hard to deceive and influence everyone. He has authority over the Earth for now. Does this mean I should RESPECT his authority, I don't think so. I do believe you should respect all in authority when they are Godly people, but NOT the ungodly. There are ungodly people in authority right now, and the PRESIDENT is one. He works hard to deceive and influence everyone. He is full of LIES, PRIDE, DECEITFULNESS, RACISM, MAKING FUN OF THE HANDICAP, DEMEANING WOMEN
(GRABBING THEIR PRIVATES), ETC. How anyone that claims to be with God and support this man is beyond me. I still am Praying for him to REPENT but his PRIDE is getting in the way. He does not attend Church. He never mentions God. He is full of himself. HE is everything Paul warn us against being. I'M SURE THIS WILL NOT BE PUBLISHED! But I cannot support a publication that supports the UNGODLY and if you continue to do so, I will cancel my subscription. I love this magazine, BEYOND TODAY. Please print ARTICLES with only Godly
intentions.
Doug Lyles,
The ability of the president to effectively govern is challenged by media-hyped allegations of collusion with Russia in the 2016 election process. (We shall see if it was a media-hyped allegation) What we do know is an unrepentant person is running our country and as you have stated ; Because of spiritual sin the leaders and people could not see that they were weakened. They did not seek God in their lives and had pushed Him to the margins
Pray that our leaders will come back to Christ! Or Christ is coming to them. I'm ready, are you?
Clearly John is a TRUMP Supporter. I am NOT. I don't support someone who is unchristian as this man. I am not a Liberal. I don't believe in abortion, gay rights or any other unchristian ideas. But this person does not belong in the White House running our country. He is clearly a DECEIVER! Climate change is TRUTH! I support TRUTH! He is only trying to support his agenda of cronies and Billionaires. Being raised by a single mother, with a father who refused to pay any child support and cannot condone the way he talks about women, grabbing their privates, thinking they are inferior, as PUTIN does. I hope they impeach him. Pence would be a much better alternative.
Speak not evil of one another, brethen. James 4; 11 God opposes the proud, but gives grace to the humble James 4; 6 Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger and clamor and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice. Eph. 4; 31 To recognize with delight all high and generous and beautiful actions; to find a joy even in seeing the good qualities of your bitterest opponents, and to admire those qualities even in those with whom you have least sympathy, this is the only spirit which can heal the love of slander and of calumny.

Doug Lyles,
I'm Sorry, it's a possibility that a blind person would not know of these things I mentioned. What is unproven? Whether I am not a Replublican or Democrat ? Whether Trump is placing Billionaire's in his cabinet? Whether he speaks with Biblical Standards? The Video Tape of him in the RV, Talking to Billy Bush about grabbing woman's privates? PROOF! The Video tape of Trump, throwing his arms around, mocking the Disabled Reporter? PROOF! The Video tape of Trump saying it must have been the woman reporters time of the month or him calling woman fat pigs? PROOF! Perhaps you are blind, but i have seen these things and they are burned into my memory. Again, I say, pray for this man to REPENT, go and SIN no more. He is still breaking the Commanment of Bearing False witness right before our eyes. I pray he will change!!!
I am NOT a Replublican or Democrat. I am a practicing Christian. I will give Trump the benefit of doubt, but this article is leaning toward a positive view of Trump. What about the Biblical Standards of Conduct. What Christian talks about grabbing a woman's privates, making fun of the disabled, treating women like dirt. The Rich man will have a harder time getting into heaven, than a Camel passing through the eye of a needle. He is picking all Billionaire's for his cabinet. What does this tell you? Please, all of you, think like a Christian. Pray for this man (Trump) to change his ways. He is not what we need right now, nor was Hillary. Perhaps God put him there for a reason, part of the Tribulation starting, I do believe we are getting close. God Help Us!
Please don't think because someone is a ruler, they cannot be EVIL .... Satan is the ruler of this world and he sways the people to put EVIL in office ....
