It is far more significant to be ‘sweet,’ with your spouse; than to be ‘right,’ against your spouse.
“ALL CAUGHT UP”
April 23, 2013 By Leave a Comment
If that is on your tombstone, will it be true?
I wish I could make you think about that before reading on.
I could just write for several minutes about anything, but that may not make you think about the title.
“ALL CAUGHT UP”
True only for Christians when they die—actual double truth.
Christians die when their work here is done; then they are caught up to heaven.
Someday I’ll be finished and caught up. Want to join me?
HOW DOES A MAN MEASURE UP?
April 21, 2013 By Leave a Comment
What makes him a big man—a great man?
It is not what he has done?
What matters is what God has done in him.
When God makes a big man, He starts with broken.
When God chooses to use a man greatly, He often starts by testing him severely.
“Not many wise men, not many mighty, not many noble are called; but God has chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God has chosen the weak things of the world to confound the mighty.”
“. . . THOROUGH INVESTIGATION . . . BRING THEM TO JUSTICE.”

“We will conduct a thorough investigation and use everything in our power to bring those responsible to justice.” —–BHOB*
We have heard this enough times to conclude the truth—different from words spoken.
“We will conduct a thorough investigation for as long as it takes to distract people from the truth and make them forget what really happened, and we will use everything in our power to blame someone else or leave the matter so confusing that people will think it is impossible to ever know the truth that would hold us (me) responsible.” —–BHOB* (with a little help from the presidential ‘Truth-A-Prompter”—available only to statesmen)
Truth and Lies don’t mix—in the same sentence or in the same person.
*Barack Hussein OBama—Say BHHHOB aloud and it sounds like the warning for Christians in the 2008 election: “Beware of sheep’s clothing.”
HAZARDOUS TO AMERICA ! ! !
April 19, 2013 By Leave a Comment
I have written before, that the news of the day and the democratic process were two of the greatest dangers for the United States today. The news distracts us from the enemy’s real advances, and after democracy has served us so well, we let our guard down.
There is another great hazard to America that scares me right now. I fear that too many Americans will forget the numerous treasonous debacles from Washington, when we face fanatic nuclear threats abroad and bombs at home. Specifically, I am frightened when I hear anyone commending our leaders for sounding tough on our enemies in “dealing with” terrorists.
We cannot trust anyone getting orders from the current commander-in-sheik to protect us and defend America. Not at all—not when all evidence shows that BHOB* wants to hasten the demise of our freedom, and acts accordingly (and effectively).
Remember, the barrage of attacks on our freedom includes pulling the wool over our eyes in ever new and clever ways, to pacify the masses and lull them to sleep. This is most effective in crises and disasters, when it looks like the government is coming to the rescue for Americans.
This government is only out to rescue us from freedom.
“POSITIVE” ENCOURAGEMENT for IGNORANCE—or—“NEGATIVE” FACTS for TRUTH
April 18, 2013 By Leave a Comment
What is your goal?
What are the means to your goal?
What resources do you turn to for strength?
If it makes you money, do it.
It if makes you happy, buy it.
If it makes you happy, go for it.
If he makes you happy, marry him.
If it makes you feel good, listen to it.
If it guarantees your retirement, secure it.
“. . . much stuff laid up for many years. Eat, drink, and be merry.”
“But God said, ‘You fool’ . . .”
No wonder people say Christians and the alternate media are ‘negative.’
But there remains a nagging word at the end of the title—TRUTH.
The goal of happiness directs you on a path with only positive and encouraging influences. Result—Ignorance.
The goal of reality directs you on a path with facts that may be very uncomfortable. Result—Truth.
So, what is your goal?
So, what are you watching and listening to for encouragement?
So, what is your source for information—for the facts?
So, are you getting the truth—and basing your life on it?
You can count on

SET FREE BY THE FIRE—NOT YET, BUT SOON
April 17, 2013 By Leave a Comment
“It’s the economy, stupid.”
Really?
Political policy?
Voter strategy?
How’s that working for you, America, the past decade?
Are you better off than a few years ago, with that emphasis?
How’s that working for you, church?
Has your influence on the culture expanded?
Prosperity, abundance, apathy, dependence, disaster . . . in America?
“Set free by the fire” sounds un-American, in our life experience.
We’ve come to expect a high standard of living as a birthright in this country. And the church has bought into materialism to the point of ineffective—blending in with the economics of the world.
This is not typical—not in history—not in the church.
“Some through the water, some through the flood;
Some through the fire, but all through the blood;
Some through great sorrow, but God gives a song
In the night seasons, and all the day long.”
At this point I hear no one warning Christians to stop putting their money into the future of this world. It is finally becoming obvious how shaky and uncertain that may be. Actually, Jesus told us (and it’s written down in everybody’s Bible) to not lay up treasures on earth, where “moth and rust corrupt, and where thieves break in and steal.”
How quickly His words can become true, after we ignore them for decades, thinking we have beat the system (the system that He warned us would fail). “Moth, Rust, Thieves”—recession, collapse, crooks, dictators.
We have bought into the repeat of history, thinking we know better, thinking we have insured everything, thinking we have guaranteed income for the rest of our lives if we just get the right advice and make the right investments.
“But God said, ‘You fool.'”
And American Christians say, “I don’t want to hear that. Shut up.”
God’s response will be clear soon enough.
Some Christians will be set free from financial bondage to this world, through “fire” that burns away everything that is not invested directly in the kingdom of God.
Some Christians, and many who claim Christianity, will fall away from faith when they see their “stuff” burned up.
SET FREE—from your stuff—your treasure and your heart in heaven
or
BURNED UP—with your stuff—your treasure and your heart on earth
EVER BEEN ‘TO STUPID AND BACK’?

‘TO STUPID’ is quick and easy.
‘BACK’ is slow and hard.
Better to avoid ‘STUPID’ in the first place.
Worse to go ‘BACK TO STUPID.’
Been There—Done That.
Don’t Do It.
There are answers—wherever you are.
I can help.
I can help you.
I found the answer.
The Answer found me.
Tell me where you are today.
