Page A-6 Illinois Valley News, Cave Junction, Ore. Wednesday, August 2, 2017 Should President Trump Quit? By Dr. Glenn Mollette Should President Donald Trump quit? A large percentage of Americans voted against him and continue to dislike him. About all of the Democrats in Congress are against him and there are certainly Republicans who aren’t Trump fans. I was recently in France and there are plenty of people in that country who mock Trump. I would wager transgen- der people in the military don’t like him. The protestors who show up wherever he is to protest, some of them paid to do so, don’t like him. Most of the media hates Trump. You would think NBC would love Trump. He made mega millions for that network with his successful The Apprentice television show. NBC begins every Today show and evening nightly news with five to 15 minutes of Trump bashing. This week I timed the Trump bashing segment on the Today show at 14 minutes and some seconds. They came on at 7 and immediately began with the Rus- sian collusion story that they pound every day almost seven days a week. Of course CNN hates Trump and still cannot come to grips with the fact that Hillary Clinton lost. The American people voted for Trump and Trump won the election. I did not vote against Hillary because of Russian interfer- ence. I voted for Trump because I felt we desperately need a change of direction in this country. With so much of the media, Ameri- can people and politicians against Trump it would only make sense that his wherewithal to stay with the tasks at hand would be daunting. I suspect it’s harder than we know and we don’t know what is going on with him internally. He obviously churns a lot about the current Attorney General Jefferson Sessions. The former FBI director James Comey is probably a splinter in his side but the list of splinters in Trump’s skin would be almost unending. President Trump will not be quitting and I would never want him to. He’s just been elected and he has a lot to accom- plish. Having to jockey your life around the haggling of Congress would have to be extremely difficult. Trump is used to being a businessman and moving on with the busi- ness at hand. He would like to operate this will later criticize you for sitting where you are and not doing anything with your life. Thus, learn from wise people who are truly wise but then leave the others behind and go forward. Trump won’t quit because he is not used to quitting. He’s had plenty of failures and shortcomings but his mindset has been to keep moving even when he suffered a loss. Trump’s going to stick with being President. Members of Congress who want to accomplish some positive change in this country shouldn’t waste the next three and one-half years and work hard with him to accomplish some positive change in this country.

He has Congress to kill most anything he would like to accomplish. Somehow they will find a way to save their own skin with the healthcare bill. Instead of taking action they will delay and amend until they can feel like they can fly home and tell everybody they have personally rallied Congress to save healthcare. Trump was mocked when he talked about running for President. Most of the media thought he was joking. Many on air media personalities just knew he was going to pull his name off the list. They felt like it was a publicity stunt. Many people fail to push ahead in life because the crowd is difficult to overcome. There will always be voices who will ask, “Why do you want to do such and such?” Or they will be negative about any ambitious ideas that you have. You will find this from close family to friends to work place peers. If you listen close enough you will lose your focus on going forward and you’ll end up staying right where you are for the rest of your life. Just remember these same people Church News Community Bible Church Toby, Go Get the Cows Judges 21:25 (NKJV) In those days there was no king in Israel; everyone did what was right in his own eyes. It’s a wonderful thing to have a well-trained dog or even just to watch one work. Unfortunately for me, I have never had a really well-trained dog. Our last dog would obey several commands: sit, speak, come, shake, and roll over, but only when she felt like it! My Uncle Ralph had a dog named Toby on his dairy farm. When it was milking time, most of the cows would head on up to the barn, but a few would not – they would stay far back in the pastures. Uncle Ralph would call Toby over and say, “Go get the cows.” That dog was off like a shot. Pretty soon here would come those cows walking toward the barn with Toby trotting along behind. Sometimes as the 5 p.m. milking time approached, we children (including myself) would ask if we could go get the cows, and Toby would always go with us – just to make sure we did the job! I was much older when I came to the realization that the dog’s obedience and ability was a vital working part of the whole farm – to make it function well. Toby was obedient, and I believe he had joy in his role on the farm. Wouldn’t it be wonderful if everyone could find their role in this life and find joy in it as well? There are roles set out for us in this life: father, mother, child, broth- er, sister, employee, boss, citizen, and the list could go on. Many rebel against their “place” and choose to reject their role and do what they want instead of what’s right. The end of people doing what’s “right in their own eyes” rather than what is right is chaos – chaos in marriages, families, and clear on down to national confusion and struggle. Maybe those good, obedient canine friends can teach us something about obedience and contentment. See you Sunday.

King Saul was at his wit’s end and trembling with fear. The entire Philistine army had gathered to attack Israel’s smaller and weaker troops. Saul moaned, “If only Samuel were here, he would tell me what to do.” But the prophet had died a few years earlier. Saul had persistently refused to listen to the Lord, and now in his distress God would not answer him. God had commanded His people never to consult a witch or medium (Lev. 19:31 & 20:27) Now Saul had little regard for God’s instruction. “Then Saul said to his servants, seek me a woman that has a familiar spirit that I may inquire of her.” Finding a woman of Endor who claimed to consult the dead, the king disguised himself and went to see her. He said to the medium “bring me up Samuel.” After using her spells and enchant- ments an apparition claiming to be Samuel the prophet appeared and gave Saul a hope- less message that he and his sons would die in battle the next day. (1 Samuel 31:2-4) Who spoke to Saul through the witch – was it really a prophet of God? Do dead people come back to converse with the living? Eccl. 9:5,6 says. “For the living know they shall die: but the dead know nothing.” How did God make man in the begin- ning? Genesis 2:7 “The Lord formed man of the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life and man became a living soul.” So what happens when we die? Eccl. 12:7 “then shall the dust return to the earth as it was; and the spirit shall return to Goid who gave it.” Breath and Spirit are inter- changeable. Notice what Job 27:2 says, All the while my breath is in me, and the spirit of God was in my nostrils.” So where do the dead go when they die? Job 21:32 says, “Yet shall he be brought to the grave, and shall remain in the tomb.” Jesus addressed this issue in John 5:28, 29 “ all that are in the graves shall hear His voice, and come forth; they that have done good to the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil to the resurrection of damnation.” Are saved people in heaven? How about good king David? Acts 2:34 “For Da- vid is not ascended into the heavens.” Also check out Acts 2:29. Does the soul die when the body dies? Ezekiel 18:4 “the soul that sins, it shall die.” Who alone is immortal now? Check out 1 Tim. 6:15,16 When will the righteous be given im- mortality (eternal life).Look at 1 Corin. 15:51-53 Since witches and psychics can’t con- Places of Worship BRIDGEVIEW COMMUNITY CHURCH 5181 Holland Loop Rd., CJ 541-592-3923 “Come Join the Worship!” Sunday Worship 10:30 a.m. Pastor Sonny Moore www.bridgeviewcc.org * * * 7th DAY ADVENTIST 265 S.

Rev. 18:23 “by your sorceries were all nations deceived.” See Rev. 12:9 Are people still trying to contact their dead loved ones? 1 Tim 4:1 “In the last times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils.” So who did the witch really see? It was none other than a demon disguised as prophet Samuel! How does God regard this kind of ac- tivity? See Rev. 21:8 The best place to get good advice is from the Bible!
