Every conversation between Christians is prayer.
“Those who loved the Lord spoke often to one another, and the Lord listened and heard them.”
“What manner of persons should we be in all holy conversation and godliness.”

Prayer is so simple, yet so profound.
“Pray without ceasing.”
“Praying always . . .”
“Rejoice evermore.”
“Don’t worry about anything—
Instead, pray about everything.”
“Pray with thanksgiving.”
“Pray in the spirit.”
“Pray for the saints (all Christians).”
“Pray always, and don’t faint.”
“Pray in His will.”
“Pray in your closet.”
“Pray—kneel before the Lord.”
“They continued steadfastly in . . . and prayer.”
DEVELOPING DOCTRINE
November 11, 2020 By Leave a Comment
Doctrine should come straight from the Bible, not from steps of logic and reasoning. (example—Concluding that the rapture must be at Revelation 3 because the church is not mentioned after that for many chapters, could be true but based on mental calculating rather than clearly stated).
Examine the foundation steps for building any doctrine.
Is the starting premise black-and-white Biblical?
Would the people in the Bible, and those who wrote the Bible, declare, agree, that the doctrine is absolutely essential?
And, what benefit is any doctrine or any teaching that is not straightforward out of the Bible?
Keep essential doctrines simple, and not limited to the learned.
SYSTEMIC RACISM
November 11, 2020 By Leave a Comment
Racism is caused by systemic sin—the systemic sin nature that is in all of us.
We are like a field of dry grass that can be set ablaze under the right circumstances with the right spark.
Some people hold up a metal lightening rod in a thunderstorm, inviting their dry grass to be ignited.
Some people delight in throwing a lighted match on others’ dry grass.
The sinful, evil nature inside all of us waits for the trigger of temptation to give us the excuse to act on what we wanted to do all along.
“As a person thinks in his heart, so is he.”
“For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies.” and so, racism.
Systemic racism is solved only by addressing systemic sin.
Systemic sin is addressed only by turning to Jesus for healing of the heart, and then healing of our other ills.
SOCIALISM UNMASKED

What is the goal of socialism?
What does socialism promise?
What does socialism deliver?
Does socialism work?
The goal of socialism is power—masterminds achieve power by promises and propaganda.
What socialism promises is vastly different from the goal of socialism.
Socialism never delivers on its promises.
Socialism promises impossible things—basically utopia—to the unstable society, to the unsettled who are desperate for answers that will solve every ill, to people who will accept promises at any price, to people who have lost the value of working for what they own and defending it.
Does socialism work?
Yes, it works just fine for a few at the top of power, and it works to make everyone else equal—equally starving.
The few at the top work for the inventor of stealing, killing, and destroying—the devil.
How about trying just a little socialism, partial socialism—give the devil a little finger, and he’ll take the whole hand.
Socialism is from the pit of hell and smells like smoke.
Don’t touch it, America—Enough already—Don’t be a sucker for more lies—You’ll be so sorry.
“PULPITS AFLAME WITH RIGHTEOUSNESS”

“Not until I went into the churches of America and heard her pulpits aflame with righteousness did I understand the secret of her genius and power.”—–Alexis de Tocqueville
That was almost two centuries ago.
If only it could be said of America today.
Preachers, seek God’s message, and fire away, this week.
And the rest of the quote:
“In the end, the state of the Union comes down to the character of the people. … I sought for the greatness and genius of America in her commodious harbors, her ample rivers, and it was not there. I sought for it in the fertile fields, and boundless prairies, and it was not there. I sought it in her rich mines, and vast world commerce, and it was not there. Not until I went into the churches of America and heard her pulpits aflame with righteousness did I understand the secret of her genius and power.”
OUT OF SERVICE – – – SORRY

Water fountains with sign:
“Out Of Order—Sorry For The Inconvenience.”
After many months, one word caught my attention.
Out Of ‘Order’?—Water fountains are not out of order.
Water fountains are out of service—by decision.
America—out of service—by decision—sorry for the ‘inconvenience’—thank you, China.
America will soon be out of order—with continued compliance to manipulative mandates.
FREEDOM – – – BY WORDS – – – BY ACTIONS
November 11, 2020 By Leave a Comment
The words of preachers before the American Revolution gave a clear message from the Bible that inspired The Great Awakening, which prepared Americans spiritually for the Declaration of Independence, and the War, and the Constitution.
The words and actions of preachers at the time of the American Revolution inspired the Patriots to take action and take up arms.
After the preacher preached on Sunday morning, he took off his robe in front of the church, to reveal his uniform, and led the militia training on Sunday afternoon.
The preachers at the time of the American Revolution were more feared by King George than all the American military (according to George himself).
The preachers at the time of the American Revolution cared more about the cost of freedom than the cost of offending someone.
Their messages likely offended more than they inspired, but thank God they preached it.
Likewise today the cost of freedom versus the cost of offending someone is clearly laid out before preachers in the pulpit and Christians in the pew.
We must speak out now—we must act out now.
We don’t have time to wait and see how things will play out, like we did in the past, watching the pendulum swing back and forth.

Stop living in Fear and let our Freedom live.
Stop wearing face masks.
The left is controlling you with fear.
This is what they want.
They are already taking over the US.
Vote in person without a face mask because it’s your right and this is still America.
Healthy people do not need a face mask.
It’s been months since China brought the virus here.
The virus isn’t going to affect most of us if any.
We are going to turn into a communist country if Trump loses.
Trust Trump, God, and Jesus.
