Making a Difference in your Life, in the Parts that are for Keeps!
If the leader of your country surrenders to your known enemies, and invites them to invade your country, then you must prepare to become refugees in your own country and fight for your life—for your very survival.
Americans cannot relate to being refugees, except for pictures on their screens, from somewhere else in the world.
And so, Americans are not getting ready.
It is not our job, nor is it safe, to participate in games of phony cordiality to ease other people’s consciences without repentance.
This morning I heard BHOB* give away his creed, his credentials, and his credibility—all in one fell swoop.
He said, “Putin does not know what he is doing in Syria. He’s not leading. My leadership is leading against global warming.”
I DON’T EVER AGAIN WANT TO HEAR ANY COMMENTATOR CALL THIS ENEMY OF AMERICA OUR LEADER.
*BHOB—Barack Hussein OBama—Say BHHHOB aloud and it sounds like the warning for Christians in the 2008 election: “Beware of sheep’s clothing.”
In my first two years of college, when Concordia in Austin, Texas was very small, we had a campus organization called “We Who Care”.
Students volunteered to help all kinds of people—old folks, mentally disabled, kids in need of a friend.
And we did it for Jesus, because He said, “Whatever you do for the least of these, you do it for Me.”
Question: Who Cares?
Question: Who Can Care?
Question: Who Can Make a Difference?
Only people can care and make a difference in other people’s lives. Be ready to respond to a need, and do it. It is that simple.
Please know that governments cannot care about anything but the government. Government welfare is about the welfare of the government getting bigger.
Government does its God-given job* only when the people limit government power.
When people forget that government is their servant, they soon become its slaves.
Back to the title:
We are the ones who care about others.
We are the ones who take care of others.
And, Christians are the ones who care because Jesus cares about us.
*Government is made by God to punish bad guys who do bad, and praise good guys who do good. —–His Book
“Are you a Christian?”
“Are you ready, if you say ‘Yes’?”
If a gun is pointed to your head, or if a knife is held at your throat, or if someone asks if you’re a Christian without threatening you, you might ask the person if he knows what it means to be a Christian.
You may never know if you may be the last person to tell someone about Jesus, and how trusting in Him is the only way to heaven.
If you are a Christian, ask God every day to arrange opportunities to speak about “the one thing needful”—that is, sharing a word from His Book.

The only thing left is coordinating the timing of the event.
A few days ago we had the first break from summer—air conditioning at no extra charge—a perfect weather day.
I have often posed the question, “What is the worst thing that could happen if we had perfect weather days every day?”
The question usually doesn’t go anywhere, but it’s always fair game to talk about the weather.
Perfect weather doesn’t last.
But it does raise a bigger question:
“What would happen if we lived in a perfect world?”
It already happened. (Genesis chapter 3)
Make no mistake about this: When enough Muslims have infiltrated America as good and decent neighbors, and they take charge of communities or cities or more, the vast majority will go along with the brutal practices of Islamic control.
If leaders lie in practicing Muslim teaching, so will the rest of their followers.
Their agenda is takeover, whether it’s the real bad guys who are in charge, or your peaceful neighbors that they are using to accomplish their goal.
The only exception to these facts is when Muslims become Christians.
And that goal on our part is the only reason to interact cordially with Muslim neighbors.
Jesus despises lukewarm Christians and says He “will vomit them out of his mouth”.
If Allah was any kind of god at all, he would say the same thing about moderate Muslims.
“Hold onto your money now.”
“Sit tight for now.”
“Wait till things settle down, after what’s coming in a few months.”
“Don’t do anything for the rest of the year.”
That seems to be the growing, widespread financial advice this fall of 2015.
In 2008 most people were caught blindsided and suffered severe loss of their stash.
In fact, it was so significant that I even heard some Christians saying maybe we shouldn’t have so much tied up—stored up—here on earth. (a hint of Biblical admonition from Jesus)
But we got over it, just like we got over praying and going to church and singing “God Bless America” on the Capitol steps soon after 9-11.
New and improved financial advice kicked in, and people were taught smarter investment strategy.
And so it continued until now.
UNCERTAINTY LOOMING—CERTAIN INEVITABILITIES
It makes me think of an article I’ll be writing, how the over-used word “absolutely” in every interview is being replaced with “I don’t know”.
The coming economic “correction”, “downturn”, aka “crash” leaves the experts without answers, and only two choices for giving advice.
One, keep talking the same as always to your clients and your audience, so you can keep your own job as long as you can, like everybody else going to work one more day until the day we can’t. And when it all blows over, we’ll pick up the pieces again and rebuild like always, because this is America.*
or,
Two, tell your people to “get out of the market”, “put your money under your mattress (literally)”, and wait till next year for updated advice. (translation, “I don’t know”)
Oh, and if you’re really clever, you try to combine one and two.
DUAL LIVES – – – DOUBLE – MINDED ? ? ?
Such is the challenge for all of us living in today’s complex world.
Open your Bible—read James chapter one, especially about “double-minded” and “unspotted from the world”.
*Is this America? Not the America that survived the crises of the past and defeated evil threats to liberty. Not the America that turned to God in times of trouble, because it turned to God before times of trouble.
