Proverbs 22:24-25

If you want to see verses 24-25, played out watch the Kavanaugh hearing, and you will observe anger, hate, fear coming from the Democrat side of the aisle.  One must wonder why a group of people who have sworn to uphold the Constitution of the United States, and to represent the people that sent them to Washington be of such low class in their action, why?

It may be helpful to ponder over these verses, and I believe it will become clear that God is telling you and me not to associate with such people so that we do not learn their ways.  “Make no friendship with a man given to anger, nor go with a wrathful man, lest you learn his ways and entangle yourself in a snare.”  Now, this is what troubles me, you who go by the name of Christ, and you vote for such people, and one must believe you approve of their conduct?

I’ve learned over the years to watch out for such conduct, and stay clear of it, to read and listen to all sides, and make sure that I am not buying into an agenda. I believe my sales career and praying for discernment have helped me be a better listener, and I still have a good way to go in that area.

But this I know, when a person puts what they call winning over values, they do what Senator Reid did to Mr. Mitt Romney, they lie on the Senate floor telling the press and the American people a lie about him not paying his taxes for the last ten years.  And years later when asked by a reporter if it bothered him that his lie may have cost Mr. Romney the election, his answer was, we won, didn’t we?

I would like to answer that question, yes, you won that election, but you lost many of the American people who had no allegiance to Mr. Romney, but put a high value on the truth.  One wonders if these people in Congress were managing themselves, and what I mean by that is, were they the kind of people in High School they are accusing the Judge of being?  If so, Jesus tells us to first remove the stone in our eye before getting the speck out of your brother’s eye.

Let me close with this statement; I believe few of the people who are standing in judgment of Judge Kavanaugh can come close to the integrity this man has displayed over his professional career.
