JUST DEBATE – – – OR . . . ?

One of my sons wisely advised me that we can’t convince, persuade, debate, prove facts, or in any way change the mindset of those extremely on the other side (leftists, liberals, democrats, socialists, anti-Trumpers with Trump Derangement Syndrome, lgbt activists, abortion advocates, atheists, social gospel proponents, ‘no borders’ minded, Chris-lam tolerant, mainstream media mind-controlled).

– – –

The antidote to poison propaganda ?

I have no more desire or obligation to engage in debate with my friends on the other side if they will not actually listen to “Sandy Rios In The Morning,” Bryan Fischer’s “Focal Point,” Abraham Hamilton III’s “Hamilton Corner,” Tony Perkins “Washington Watch” on American Family Radio (afr.net or 89.9 in central Texas), and see the movie “Unplanned”—with documented examples of truth about lies funded by Soros (and company) and propagated by the lopsided mainstream media.

I care about my friends and others, and I care about my country that trusted in God, and I want to share Jesus’ love for me and them more than anything else.

So I will be more careful to notice the difference between dialogue and diatribe.

H A T E – – – WHO STARTED IT ?

(To my friends and others on the other side)

Do not let the fever of Trump Derangement Syndrome scorch your sanity to such and extent that you end up trashing the good for America and yourself, and fail to see the evil out to destroy all of us.

Guard against the powerful and effective brainwashing propaganda of media so obviously awash with TDS that every report is bathed in a created hatred of Trump as their starting premise.

Truth sounds like hate to those who hate the truth.

We have been hijacked.

We don’t know what anything means anymore.

I say we’ve never been here before.

Can we survive the universal confusion?

Will it all come out in the wash?

Daddy said, “Yes—it did in Noah’s day.”

No one trashes God’s Ways, which have not changed and are not confusing, without getting thrashed and trashed.

Just study history.

“One thing we learn from history is that we don’t learn anything from history.”

Could we pray that American exceptionalism may defy that statement?

“PROVIDE” vs “PROMOTE”

The Constitution of the United States of America states very clearly the role of government—the role of our government.

The two phrases with the words “provide” and “promote” are unmistakably simple, yet we have practically reversed them in America today.

The government is to “provide for the common defense.”

That is a legitimate, Biblical, God-ordained function of government.

“. . . punishment of evil-doers, and praise of those who do well.”—–His Book

The government is to “promote the general welfare.”

That is also legitimate and Biblical, so we may live in peace.

Our government is to promote and preserve the option for us to pursue our own welfare without interference from the government—capitalism not complicated with regulations or handouts.

The part we have twisted and reversed in recent decades is the mistaken assumption that government is to ‘provide’ the general welfare.

No! No! No!—Not in any shape or form!—Not even a little!

That is not the government’s job, and it does not work, it never has, and it never will, no matter how many promises of ‘free’ stuff persuade fifty-one percent of the people to vote for socialism.  That might happen, but it will not work.

“If any would not work, neither should he eat.”—–His Book (and you can take that to the bank)

 

We have allowed the government to take over the church’s legitimate mandate to provide welfare where it is genuinely needed (only the church can discern genuine need).

And now the government is taking over the church’s freedom—“freedom of religion”—also an undeniable, legal right given by our Creator and guaranteed by that same Constitution.

PILGRIM’S PROGRESS

Watch this movie if you possibly can.

It is in theaters two days only, April 18 and 20.

Watch the trailer online, and several encounters that challenge the pilgrim on his unique journey.

I assure you that you will be challenged as well.

I have personally been on this journey for decades, and the clips that I watched were convicting and soul-searching for me.

I’m looking forward to tomorrow evening.

“UNPLANNED” BRINGS RESULTS

Since its release on March 29, the movie “Unplanned” has prompted 1% of Planned Parenthood workers to seek help to get out of working for the business of abortion.

VIABILITY AND THE CONSTITUTION

Viability is the capacity to live.

The Constitution guarantees the obvious right to live.

Put the two together, and we have the winning combination for every American.

All persons are viable from the moment of conception—if we don’t kill them.

PLANNED UNPARENTHOOD

(reprinted from August 26, 2015)

Planned Parenthood’s mission:

We plan your freedom from parenthood.

And we provide the means to your freedom.

BAPTISM = SALVATION ?

If involuntary baptism could save a baby (at your funeral they will always say it did), then involuntary baptism should also save an older child, or an adult.

How can water and a ceremonial act done to a person by others, without any free will by the person, make one ready for heaven, for a lifetime—but the rules and criteria for getting to heaven change if another person wants to get saved anytime after babyhood?

 

And those in another camp say that babies and children get an automatic free pass to heaven, up until  ? some age ? —undefined ?, variable ?, decided by ?

 

 

Anyone outside those gated theological mega theme parks, each with their own exclusive membership requirements, looks at what I just wrote and shakes their head or laughs.

It obviously looks like three different ways to get saved—and there’s supposed to be only one way.

So it didn’t really get fixed 500 years ago, and we muddle around over and over again, and send mixed messages to a desperate world that needs to hear about Jesus, straight from the Bible, unfiltered by men with thinly veiled agendas of money, power, and control.

Too bad that nobody in charge of keeping the shows running can see those major business operations for what they are—and laugh too.

AND CLOSE THEIR DOCTRINE BOOKS AND SPEND TIME IN THE BIBLE.

Since when is studying the Bible not good enough?

I know why—because they can’t walk away from what they built.

“Give it up—sell it—let it go—and follow Me.”

Can’t do it—have to go—got too much invested—gotta keep it going—[sorry, Jesus].

That story still ends with one word—S A D !

 

MANDATE MINIMUM WAGE ? ? ?

Mandate minimum wage and you mandate inflation (minimum inflation, then maximum inflation).

Mandating minimum wage is in direct conflict with capitalism.

Mandating minimum wage leads to socialism—it is socialism.

Any government that can mandate minimum wage can also mandate maximum wage.

“Any government big enough to give you everything you want is big enough to take everything you’ve got.”

Is it any wonder that those who clamor for mandating minimum wage by the government, also clamor for the government taking more money from the wealthy in taxes, for the poor in handouts.

Socialism doesn’t work—it never has—it never will—it will not work in the United States, even if the people vote for politicians who vote for it.

“As soon as the people [fifty-one percent] realize they can vote handouts for themselves from the public treasury, the great experiment of America is over.”

“Our father who art in Washington, give us this day our daily bread.”

That’s where we are—the pot of water with the frog is already too hot for the frog to jump out, so the heat can be turned up faster now—and that explains why so many politicians positioning for power can propose anything drastic and be cheered on.

 

And, going straight to the bottom line, understood by the founding fathers of this country, “This form of government will work only for a moral people; it is totally inadequate for any other.”

Those Americans, those true Americans, who still know that moral compass from 250 years ago, from 2000 years ago, from 3500 years ago, can still make a difference for America.

But it will be hard—harder than anything American patriots who believe in the God of the Bible have ever faced before.

It was a small percentage of Americans who won the Revolutionary War and founded the United States.

It is a small percentage of Americans today who have already jumped out of the comfortable, safe, warm pot of apathy and apostasy and abomination, and are ready to sacrifice whatever it takes to speak out against the horde of evils invading at all levels.

Hardly a person remains who says they can’t see what’s happening to this country, nationally and locally, but very few are willing to change their lifestyle and take action.

If you are a part of that small percentage, then decide today that you will say something to the people you know, about turning to God and praying and reading their Bibles.

 

Ask people if they know Jesus, and explain that He is the only One Who can save them.

And that is how it works that He is the only One Who can save America.
