Lord, Lord, Did I Not...? Jimmy Carter Passes Away

Former President Jimmy Carter passed away on December 29, 2024, at the age of 100 in his hometown of Plains, Georgia. He was the longest-living U.S. president and had been in hospice care since February 2023.

Carter served as the 39th President of the United States from 1977 to 1981. His presidency faced significant challenges, including the Iranian hostage crisis and economic difficulties. He established The Carter Center, focusing on human rights and conflict resolution, and was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2002 for his dedication to peace and human rights.

Despite all these “works,” Carter, a man whose name has been celebrated as synonymous with humanitarianism, progressive virtue, and a self-professed "deeply personal" Christian faith, has now come face to face with the judgment of God.

And what shall we say of his fruits?

Well, a simple perusal of the kinds of evil he advocated for tells us that they were not the evidence of a life transformed by the gospel but a bitter harvest of rebellion, compromise, and outright defiance against God’s character. Despite the claims of the establishment church, Jimmy Carter was not a “remarkable man,” he was a tool of the devil.
