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.

way as President but of course that’s impos-
sible. 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

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.
In Christ,

Who did the witch really see?
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.

tact the dead, who are they contacting? Rev.
16:14 “They are the spirits of devils, work-
ing miracles.”
How effective will Satan’s evil angels
be in the last days? 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
