“For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.”
–2Timothy 4:3-4
America is a country FULL of pretty stories.
And most Americans like nothing better than to hear a pretty tale, swallow it and then ask for “More!”
One of the biggest fables currently being told is the one about “Draining the Swamp.”
This fairy tale is most beloved by politicians–and those who place their faith in politics–especially around election time.
“The Myth of Draining the Swamp” basically claims that the the swamp will be drained by those who fought so hard (and spent so much time and money) to live in it.
Another swamp tale is the one about the media helping drain the swamp.
That would be the same media which has spent decades protecting the swamp and cozying up to the swamp creatures.
Still, it IS a pretty story.
And Americans LOVE their pretty stories.

THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST
“Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve: After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep. After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles. And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time. ”
–1 Corinthians 15:1-8
“For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.”
-–Romans 1:16
