A Time for Action

March 22, 2019 by Leave a Comment

Ecclesiastes 3:1-8 acknowledges that to everything there is a season, a time for every purpose under heaven. America has generally had a long season of peace and comfort at home, too peaceful and too comfortable for too many, because while we rested the enemy stealthily grew within our borders like mold and mildew on a neglected north wall. Whether a wall or a nation, continued neglect will result in destruction. Now has come upon Americans a time for annoyance and aggravation, inconvenience and irritation; a time to fight.

For those paying attention, it is clear that the nation is in crisis. There is a battle between good and evil, between truth and lies that is reaching a tipping point. Children are becoming adults who do not know a time without the corruption seen and heard on television, radio, internet, billboards, at schools, libraries, movie theaters, or home; or displayed by government officials. Obviously, there is a need for action, but what action should or can be taken?

Since the enemy is making so many inroads, perhaps we can study its methods and use them against it (use its methods that are not evil in and of themselves that is). The enemy is dedicated. It is willing to sacrifice time, money (generally other people’s money), and effort. One particular tactic of the enemy concerns elections. Simply put, it cheats. This tactic should not be countered with more cheating, but with observation and verification of the registration process and the vote. As mentioned before, this takes time, money, and effort. We can become poll workers or just observe and document from a suitable place. We can’t leave it to others to assure an honest election. https://www.eac.gov/voters/become-a-poll-worker/

Whatever platform God has given us, let us use it to spread truth. Pastors and preachers have been given a tremendous platform to warn and advise vast numbers of people across the nation on a weekly or more often basis. Teachers likewise have a special opportunity to counteract the lies of the enemy in the minds of their students. They may have to be subtle, but they can get the message across through words, pictures, and creative thinking. Wherever we are, we have some sort of influence with others.

We have to be aware and involved in the goings on in our community, our state, our country, and the world. Lies have to be sifted from truth and the darkness exposed (Ephesians 5:11), especially where popular news organizations are concerned. Christian news organizations are more reliable sources than the secular. People who believe in the truth of God’s Word found in the Bible are much more credible than those who favor killing babies, who are against protecting our country’s borders, who believe in an economic system of debt, and who promote the lie that there can be other sexes than just male and female. https://onenewsnow.com/https://www.mrc.org/

There may still be time to change the course of destruction the country is on by speaking truth, teaching truth, and getting involved with government. If not, then just around the corner lurks the realization of violent conflict. This reality has been played out many times in many places, and even now we are seeing previews of it across the country. https://abcnews.go.com/US/texas-church-scene-shooting-sunday-report/story?id=50945596

Action armed with truth is an effective offense against action armed with deceit. First we must clothe ourselves with Truth. That is, we must rid ourselves of untruth by turning from sin, trusting that Jesus Christ paid the price on the cross for our sins, and put on the full armor of God (Ephesians 6:10-18). We can fight the enemy now with truth and action or we can fight the enemy later with weapons of bloodshed. https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2019/03/we_fight_now_or_the_socialists_win.html

Some Reading Could Save America

January 31, 2019 by Leave a Comment

Three writings, if read in earnest, could save America from self-destruction: the Bible, the Declaration of Independence, and the Constitution. A matter of such magnitude is certainly worth the time it takes to read and apply the guidance and ideals contained in their words. It is literally a matter of life and death for us and those who come after us; and a matter of life and death for America and the world.

“Love wins” is a common phrase today, but the meaning behind the phrase is not “love”. What is actually meant is “don’t speak truth to me and warn me that what I am doing is wrong and that there will be negative consequences resulting from my behavior.” Another phrase, “the truth hurts”, is often true. We just seem to naturally bristle when we are confronted with our wrongdoing, and we all do wrong at some point. The standard of right and wrong come from the One who created us and everything else. He is God and His word is in the Bible to read, for all who have access to one and the ability to read or hear it. He tells us in Romans 1:18-21, “For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, because what may be known of God is manifest in them, for God has shown it to them. For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse, because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened.” The Bible contains the words of life, and its principles, if applied, are the solution to America’s and the world’s ills. However, as the Bible also tells us, there will always be those who refuse to abide by Biblical principles; and so there will always be the struggle between right and wrong , between good and evil, truth and lies.

While America followed, at least generally, the guidance of God, He blessed the nation with protection and providence beyond any other in modern history. Sadly, much of the nation has rebelled against God, especially and significantly the most influential of the nation, trading the blessings of God for curses. The pursuit of pleasure and power has plunged us down a perilous path. We see now that danger, violence, and debt is prevalent. It is foolish to stay the course we are on as a nation. The cure for what ails America is to stop rebelling against God (repent), learn His ways and obey Him; and His ways are found in the Holy Bible and through asking Him to lead us in truth.

The Declaration of Independence lets us know why the founders and early Americans took a stand for what is right, and why people have a duty to stand up for what is right. However, people must first be informed of what is right, and what is right and what is wrong is set by God. The standards are set for all time, and His standards are “the” standards. The signers of the Declaration knew the difference between right and wrong, and put down on paper the justification for declaring independence as a nation. Independence meant an opportunity for freedom, peace, and prosperity. For this they were willing to risk their lives, and many did give their lives. The least we can do is understand why by reading the document that tells us.

To read the Declaration of Independence go to:

The Constitution lays out our form of government in a short and simple manner. With the help of a dictionary this ingeneius instrument can be understood and it makes evident that many “experts” and many in authoritative positions hold erroneous views concerning what is and what is not lawful.

The Bible, the Word of God, is the ultimate law for the U S and the world. Any law that contradicts the Word of God is no law at all. While man or government may pass and enforce laws contrary to God’s law, they are nonetheless unlawful. Likewise, in America the Declaration and the Constitution, after the Bible, are the ultimate authorities. Any law passed that is contrary to these documents is no law at all. While an illegitimate law may be unlawfully enforced, it is still a non-law.

To read and study the U S Constitution go to the following links:

These readings are not giant obstacles to be dreaded. They can be read in a relatively short time; the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution in a couple of hours, and the Bible over the course of a year if read for a few minutes every day. Much, if not all, of the country’s debt and social problems would not exist if these three governing directives were observed. However, they are just words on paper if they are not believed in and acted upon, but there are dire consequences if they are not. “All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.” Also, as John Adams, founder and second U S president stated, “Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate for the government of any other.”

The Caravan Flimflam

December 14, 2018 by Leave a Comment

While invaders ease over, through, or around what little border obstacles exist, the chief aiders and abettors luxuriate behind their walls and security systems to keep out such that are wicking into the country all around them like water on a paper towel.  For some reason that evades the reasoning of sensible thinkers, the patrons of the raiders and those duped into their fantasm seem to assume that they won’t be affected by the outcome, or else they assume they will be affected in a positive sense.  That’s where they’re wrong.

Enemies of America, and notably the enemies within America, have maligned its honor and stolen its history; and replaced it with a false characterization.  The American dream that has existed because of America’s Christian foundation, and its Constitution that resulted from that foundation has drawn millions, and still draws people from all over the world.  Now it is fading fast as more and more are “invading” the country, instead of “immigrating and assimilating” into the country.  These invaders, being financed by those seeking to enslave Americans in a totalitarian government, may not be armed invaders for the most part, but they are nonetheless here to pillage in one way or another, and perhaps do other harm.  The worst part is that those in charge of leading and protecting the nation are letting them, while others are deceived into thinking it’s the right thing to let borders between nations be ignored.

Those who are making decisions that affect the nation, and others that aid and abet the invaders are deceived as well.  The economic and government system that allowed them to achieve their status will collapse around them under the weight of an overloaded welfare system.  Then they like the rest will endure turmoil, treachery, and tragedy in place of peace, protection, and profits.  That which drew immigrants and invaders will no longer be so attractive when hunger and havoc ensue.

Leftists Want Good Behavior, Except for Most of the Time

October 11, 2018 by 2 Comments

The Kavanaugh confirmation hearings revealed the duplicity and hypocrisy of the Left.  The past behavior of Mr Kavanaugh was being put under a microscope in an attempt to uncover any indiscretion that may have occurred at any time in his life.  Predictably the behavior under intense scrutiny was of the sexual nature.  Of course a Supreme Court justice should have a good record.  The problem was that those so adamant about finding something they could pin on him are the same ones who promote the very corruption that they seem to find so offensive.

The hypocrites doing the condemning find nothing wrong with allowing illegal aliens with sexual assault records to roam about the country seeking more victims.  Pornography, which can lead to sexual assaults, is simply “free speech” to them.  Movies, television shows, billboards, magazines, and other media depicting or graphically referring to sexual misbehavior is likewise considered “free speech”.  Congress even has a slush fund of tax money to pay for the silence of those with which its members have been sexually involved (Congressional Accountability Act).

https://afaaction.net/take-action/2017/congressional-accountability-act-of-1995/

Then there is the destruction of the evidence of sexual misbehavior that these invalid vessels of virtue protect and promote at any price, which is what this hearing was largely about.  The Left is desperate to protect their “right” and the “legality” to kill babies, and for some to profit from this killing and from the babies’ remains.  They fear that with Kavanaugh on the court, their precious and priceless Roe v. Wade “law” will be overturned.

This hearing has become a sideshow in the carnival that Congress has become.  Remember in November.

The Credibility of the Incredible is Incredible

September 14, 2018 by 2 Comments

Much of America and the world is in a state of denial and make believe.  To many people  with great influence, right has become wrong and wrong has become right.  Maybe because it is the path of least resistance, many others who don’t necessarily agree with the reversal of right and wrong nonetheless go along with the falsehood, or at least do nothing to counter it.  It is incredible that credibility has been given to those who are obviously incredible.

This is not to say that these incredible people are amazing or extraordinary in a positive sense; far from it.  They are incredible in a most negative use of the word, meaning they lack credibility, and yet they are accepted as having valid viewpoints and behavior.  There are various examples of this phenomenon.  One of the most blatant is the acceptance of transvestism and the idea that one can choose his or her gender, even to the point of surgically altering his or her body.  Until recently, those confused about whether they are male or female were helped to overcome their confusion.  Now they are encouraged to stay confused and to pretend to be the opposite sex that they were born.  They are even voted into public office or are party candidates.  Click below for more on this:

https://www.nbcnews.com/feature/nbc-out/transgender-candidate-governor-wins-vermont-primary-n900781

Another example of the make believe phenomenon is socialism.  Although variations of this form of government have been tried time and again in an assortment of countries, it always results in death and destruction; if not by violent totalitarian tactics, then by the results of taking from some to give to others.   Socialists tout free health care, free education, free housing, free this, that, and the other.  These “free” items are very costly to those who are actually trying to make a living.  Their cost is obvious when they see their pay stub tax with-holdings amount.  Such taking and giving leads to fewer employment opportunities because there is less capital left for individuals to create businesses, deficient healthcare due to system overrun and red tape,  and other harm inflicted upon individuals and families because of loss of freedom, income, and government interference.  Still, today it is being promoted by many who are under the pretend delusion.

Then there is the torture and killing of babies in their mothers’ wombs, and the selling of the babies’ body parts.  How can anyone with any sense of compassion and regard for the life of another human being give credence to such barbarity?

The military is another area of pretend.  Throughout all of history it has been known that a strong military is vital to a strong country.  Yet many in positions of influence play like we can weaken our armed forces and remain secure as a nation.  They have closed military bases, and let equipment fall into short supply and disrepair.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Base_Realignment_and_Closure

Incredibly, they want to allow men who think they are women and women who think they are men to serve in the armed forces and actually let them carry arms, while at the same time they call for better background checks for civilians because those with mental problems might be buying weapons.

https://www.afa.net/the-stand/culture/2016/07/transgenders-in-military-impeachable-damaging-and-expensive/

They also allow known enemies to serve in the military, resulting in the death and injury of numerous troops.

The country’s border is another sector of the Left’s fantasy land.  To them, there is no border.  They would and have allowed any and all to flow freely into the country.  Besides the crime of illegal entry, many commit other crimes which are often violent, and partake of generous handouts of taxpayers’ money and citizens’ jobs.  The Left has no regard for the American ideal which draws so many.  This ideal dissipates with each immigrant that enters illegally, and with each one that has no intention of assimilating to American customs and beliefs.

https://www.dps.texas.gov/administration/crime_records/pages/txCriminalAlienStatistics.htm

Financial fantasy guides the Left when determining what to do with other people’s money.  The more they can take from others to put in their own pockets, waste, or hand over to others, the more they like it.  In their consideration, taxing, borrowing, and printing money, which are the only ways government obtains money, should be done in ever increasing amounts.  Outside of their fantasy this results in less freedom and fractured families because of financial failure.  Prices go up and income goes down, then through tax-funded Leftist programs, people are propped up financially and become dependent on the government which then requires more of other people’s money to prop more people up.  The cycle continues until all the people run out of money, then the government (those who had siphoned off plenty of the money while it was available) and those who do their bidding take over completely and there is no longer freedom but only slavery.

How are those who are in favor of such nonsense given any credibility at all?  For the most part, these are supposed to be intelligent adults.  There are two types of people here.  Those who actually think that such nonsense is a good idea, and those who know that it is a path to the failure of a free nation.  The former are deceived and the latter are deceivers that desire control of people and possession of what is not theirs.  They must be stopped.
