MASS MURDERERS OF BABIES

X-Pharaoh—ordered killing of newborn babies—didn’t have access to sex selection and murder before birth.

X-Herod—ordered killing of babies up to two years old—to make sure he got rid of all the unwanted one(s).

X-Biden—campaigns openly, brazenly, as a mass murderer—persuading Americans to vote for his killing that won’t stop with babies—canceling the Constitution “rights, . . . life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.”—EVIL EVIL EVIL loves company.

X-American Voters—vote for those who vote for killing babies—what’s the difference ?

X-Christian Voters—vote for those who vote for killing babies—what’s the difference ?

Where do they end up ?

“Those who do such things deserve death . . . not only those who do such things, but also approve of those who practice them.”

RIGHTEOUS RAGS

I’m not a bad person.
I’m a good person.

I’m not so bad.
I’m pretty good.

I’m better than most people.
I’m not as bad as . . .

My good is more than my bad.
My good outweighs my bad.

I do a lot of good for others.
I don’t hurt anyone.

I have good relationships.
I don’t hate anyone.

Good ?

“All of us have become like one who is unclean, and all our righteous acts are like filthy rags; we all shrivel up like a leaf, and like the wind our sins sweep us away.”

The literal meaning of “filthy rags” (with a Hebrew word to make it clear)—anything after being used for a woman’s menstrual cycle.
That is why the common term was “on the rag”.
God’s choice of the word in the Bible makes it very clear how worthless, how despicable, our best efforts appear before Him.

My good counts for nothing—worse than nothing—repulsive to God.
My sin counts for hell.
And all that is why Jesus suffered and died.
Accept His payment for your sin, today.

“Jesus paid it all—all to Him I owe.
Sin had left a crimson stain
He washed it white as snow.”

DIY ABORTIONS

How many women, mothers of unborn babies, have to suffer and bleed in horror, alone, before the cry goes out against do-it-yourself abortions—like the outcry over “coathanger abortions” decades ago ?
– – –
How many devastated women is too many ?
– – –
How many murdered babies is too many ?
– – –
Enough is enough already !

Too many is too many, already !

IS THE ‘CURRENT CONSENSUS’ TRUE ?

It is true that the current consensus says what it says.
But that does not make it the truth.

The current consensus changes—it is changing currently, as in walking back some of the ‘absolute’ facts and mandates during covid (just one example).
No wonder people who follow the current consensus as the ‘gospel truth’, have to end up saying there is no truth—I have my truth, you have your truth,
They are lost without the truth.

Biggest example of ongoing, constantly changing current consensus—the age of the earth.

—- According to 21st current consensus, the age of the earth is 4.5 billion years.
++ In the 21st century, the Bible says the age of the earth is 6000 years.

—- According to mid-20th century current consensus, when I was is school, the age of the earth was 3 billion years.
++ In mid-20th century, the Bible said the age of the earth is 6000 years.

—- According to 18th century current consensus, the age of the earth was about 100 million years.
++ In the 18th century, the Bible said the age of the earth is 6000 years.

Unfortunately no one explained to me how I could have figured that out myself, just adding and multiplying numbers from the Bible.
– – –
As I was reading in search of consensus for the age of the earth in past millennia (didn’t find much for a long time ago), I was amused and lost in the complexity of more recent scientific discoveries that changed the age of the earth, from really old to really, really old.
And now they believe they got it right because their number of 4.5 billion years hasn’t changed for over half a century.

A few quotes I found interesting—

“in 1921 . . . British Association for the Advancement of Science came to a rough consensus that Earth was a few billion years old.”

“Scientists have calculated the age of our planet to be approximately 4.5 billion years. But how did scientists determine that age? The answer is complicated . . .”

“The growing weight of evidence finally tilted the balance in 1931, when the National Research Council of the US National Academy of Sciences decided to resolve the question of the age of Earth by appointing a committee to investigate.”

“. . . support the fact that Earth and the rest of the Solar System formed at around 4.53 to 4.58 billion years ago.”

Note that consensus becomes fact—and evolution with billions of years is taught to children as fact, without evidence, without objection.

—- Why trust current consensus—something continuously changing ?
++ Trust the Bible—unchanged since it was written !

—- Why do Christians compromise with evolution and millions/billions of years—anti-God ‘science’ ?
++ Trust the Bible—unchanged and true in facts !

—- Why water down the Word of God, apologize for the narrow way, and have no authority ?
++ Trust the Bible—“Did God really say ?”*—YES, HE DID, “IN THE BEGINNING . . .”

Answers in Genesis—answersingenesis.org—listen to Ken Ham, 28 minute video on the age of the earth, 6000 years vs. millions/billions of years.

*First words of satan—worked for him then, and since then.

DISAGREE – – – OR – – – DISRESPECT

Family – – –
Members of a family will disagree.
If disagree means disrespect, there is trouble.
Disagree does not have to become disrespect.
Disagree must not equal disrespect.

If only—if couples could hear this before they get married.
If only—if married couples could get this before they get in trouble—trouble just because they assume disagree equals disrespect whenever there is conflict.

Saying ‘yes’ and ‘repeat after me’ at the altar may be too late, meaningless, minds a million miles away.
Some things have to be decided before marriage.
Some things need to be promised, spoken, written before marriage.

1- Decide to be faithful in the marriage* until death.
2- Decide to love the wife*, respect the husband*, until death.
3- Decide to not let disagreement endanger faithfulness, love, and respect.
4- Decide to put disagreement in a cage, where it can’t touch the marriage with doubt about faithfulness, love, and respect.
5- Decide whether to feed the disagreement in the cage and make it stronger—or dismantle the disagreement. Save any useful parts and throw the others away.
6- Decide that unresolved disagreements will be decided by the husband—already decided together to not let disagreement endanger faithfulness, love, and respect.

– – –

Most couples getting married—caught up in love—dream and imagine that faithfulness for both*, and love for the wife*, and respect for the husband*, will fall in place and last forever because they care so much for each other, now.

Now—hmmm !
Nobody knows what is ahead after ‘now’ is over.
Rarely ? or Never ? does ‘now’ last forever !

So, what is a couple to do that don’t have a clue ?
So, what is a couple to think when they don’t think about this ?
So, what is a couple to talk about when they don’t want to talk about it ?

– – –

*”What God has joined together, let no one separate.”
*”Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for her . . . Let each one of you in particular so love his own wife as himself.”
*”Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord . . . Let the wife see that she respects her husband.”

GOD BLESS AMERICA ! or ?

A lot is hanging in the balance.
Will God bless America ?
Can God bless America ?

Will God judge America ?
When will God judge America ?
– – –
America has sinned.
Americans have sinned.

God judges nations.
God will judge America.
– – –
Why is God’s judgment delayed ?
Why is another 9-11 attack delayed ?

– – –

God is in charge.
God is in control.

“The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.”

“Do you show contempt for the riches of God’s kindness, forbearance and patience, not realizing that God’s kindness is intended to lead you to repentance?”

HAVE MORE – – – WANT MORE

If you have more, you want more.

Does every human being have this problem ?
Many people who have less, have less problem wanting more, than those who have more.

Question:
Is it really easier to be content, when you start getting more, and more ?

Consider the frequent statement of people commenting on their years growing up ‘poor’:
“We didn’t know we were poor, because we had each other, we had family.”
– – –
Does every human being want more ?
Severely persecuted Christians gain a perspective for us to ponder, on this question.
More than anything else, they ask us to pray—
— pray that they are not forgotten.
— pray that they will forgive their persecutors.
— pray for strong faith, to endure, and to continue boldly witnessing for Jesus
— pray, not for their deliverance, but for their perseverance
— pray for non-persecuted Christians to experience the closer, sweeter walk with Jesus like they have through their persecution.

That takes care of the human condition of wanting more than we need.
When all is stripped away that we usually want more of, then we want to be closer to Jesus, and closer to other Christians, through suffering and sacrifice.

“Remember them that are in bonds, as bound with them; and them which suffer adversity, as being yourselves also in the body.”
– – –
How much do we want ?
How much do we need ?
How much, to be content ?
– – –
Have less—Have more.
Have more—Want more.
Pray for . . . More ?
Pray for . . . Contentment ?
– – –
I recently realized that ninety percent of my prayers were asking God to make life easier.
Valid prayers ?—but there’s a higher plane.
Praying for more ?—or praying for contentment.

“I have learned, in whatever state I am, to be content.”

I came up with this ‘word for thought’ as I was reflecting on how many Americans ‘revise’ Jesus’ words about money.
I thought to check out if ‘devise’ was a real word that might fit.
WOW !
Fits all over today.
