Making a Difference in your Life, in the Parts that are for Keeps!
Will we make it to November 8?
What will happen on that day, and after?
What could happen before November 8?
Life as we know it will change.
(Read VENGEANCE IS MINE 10-13-22)

Christians,
We PRAY.
We VOTE.
+We must pray against evils invading our country, our cities, our lives.
+We must vote against these evils.
“. . . , I will repay, says the Lord.”
The line before says,
“Do not avenge yourselves, beloved, but leave room for God’s wrath. For it is written, ‘Vengeance is mine, I will repay,’ says the Lord.”
So, what about all the psalms in the Bible where David lets it rip and verbally crushes his enemies, graphically so?
Actually, two things to remember in those psalms:
He’s telling God all about his trouble with his enemies.
He’s telling God to tear his enemies to pieces—that is God’s sovereignty—His prerogative.
By the end of the psalm David is thanking and praising God.
Before you think or talk about it, find and read those psalms directly—there are several.
– – –
What about all the times in the Bible where God commands the total annihilation of wicked nations?
What about America, the most God-inspired and God-blessed and most free nation in history—freedom gained by American Patriots killing British soldiers?
What about the sacrifice of thousands in Normandy that started the end of Nazi tyranny?
What about the outright destruction of hundreds of thousands of people over 75 years ago with ‘the bomb’—to stop the religion-crazed Japanese worshipping their emperor with kamikaze fervor (destined to cause ten times the loss of life)?
What about our Constitutional second amendment to stop a wayward government with guns?
– – –
What has changed ?
God hasn’t changed !
The Constitution hasn’t changed !
The price of freedom hasn’t changed !
The enemies of freedom haven’t changed !
The evil forces, in America today, driving evil people, in America today, hell-bent on destroying our freedom to enslave us, in America today, haven’t changed !
– – –
What has changed?
We have.
American Christians and conservatives are continuously constrained to not advocate or condone or initiate violence.
Millions of law-abiding Americans with guns are willing and able to take back our country and restore our freedom.
But what has changed?
The evil forces devoted to our demise have gained control so rapidly, that most good guys simply don’t know what to do now—except having a shootout when armed government officials show up at their door—to avoid unlawful arrest or re-education camps or languishing in jail indefinitely like the January 6 detainees.
– – –
What if . . .?
What if the election in a few weeks, and the impact of the election (immediately or in two months, depending on the results), what if that does not restore America?
What if good people in government do not have the backbone to stand and act—and yes, once again, “pledge their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor”?
– – –
There will be widespread bloodshed in the streets across this land.
– – –
Leadership and organization for a legitimate freedom-restoration revolution has been silenced by surveillance, picking off good people from their families in their homes and on the streets, without reprisal or redress.
+Without reprisal—no one is there to stop the free reign of unlawful arrests, that are more frequent now—stop them with force.
+Without redress—constitutional process of justice for Americans is replaced with dictator tactics of abuse without fair trial.
– – –
Back to the title—vengeance belongs to God.
What about our discomfort when God exercises His vengeance?
What about our struggle in recent years over the price of freedom, when it may again require violence to defeat evil to stay free?
We have become too much dependent on elections alone to maintain our freedom here at home.
Elections have accomplished that up to now, when combined with moral solidarity and prayer to the God who “made and preserved us a nation.” We are not there anymore.
We have depended on the government military to defend freedom abroad.
Overnight, our military has been stripped of leadership ready to go-to-bat with whatever it takes to defeat evil and keep us free.
– – –
It has never been more important to exercise the second amendment to take back control of a wayward government.
It has never been more difficult to exercise the second amendment to take back control of a wayward government.
We must remember, and apply, what the founding fathers publicly and repeatedly declared—dependence on Divine Providence for wisdom, words, and engagement.
God-blessed work is greater than the evil of idleness.
Today, be thankful for whatever your job is today.
– – –
It seems that many of us are engrossed in much more activity than the legitimate calling given us by God.
Busy is also a four-letter word.
Be on guard that it does not become profane.
– – –
“If the Lord does not build the house, your work on it is futile, just like the watchman stands on guard in vain if the Lord does not protect the city.”
“It is vain (worthless) for you to rise up early, to sit up late, to eat the bread of sorrows; for so He gives His beloved sleep.”
Boredom is not a blessing, but rest is.
“Rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for Him.”
– – –
Peace
Rest
Contentment
– – –
These are the measure of success in the Christian life.
They are learned, but not gained through knowledge without wisdom.
– – –
“I have learned in whatever state I am, to be content.”
Summary of #3 and #5.
We store our stuff
and
Throw our trash.
– – –
Pioneers had neither.
They spent everything on living.
What day is it, today?
What day of the week?
What day of the month?
What day of the year?
What day of my life?
What day is the last day?
– – –
Well, THIS IS THE DAY!
What makes today special?
“This is the day the Lord has made . . .”
So,
“This is the day the Lord has made—let us rejoice and be glad in it.”
Do you sometimes thank God at the very, very beginning of the day, and get excited about the gift?
Three wonderful things happened first thing this morning:
+The sun came up this morning, again.
+I saw the sun come up this morning.
+I thanked God for the morning, this morning.
– – –
What day is THE LORD’S DAY?
Nearly everybody knows The Lord’s Day is Sunday.
But why do we call Sunday The Lord’s Day?
Because Jesus rose from the dead “on the first day of the week,” Sunday.
So, the purpose of The Lord’s Day is to remember that, sincerely.
Sunday became like the Sabbath.
But why was the Sabbath The Lord’s Day?
It is a commandment from God four thousand years ago, to be a day of rest—no work.
God said it was because He also rested on the seventh day, after Creation, six thousand years ago.
Jesus said, “The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath.”
So “Remember the Sabbath Day, to keep it holy,” as a blessing, a gift from God, for rest.
You’ll be glad you did, every time.
– – –
THE DAY OF THE LORD—sounds a little ominous, different from This Day (today) and The Lord’s Day (Sunday).
When is The Day Of The Lord?
We don’t know, and His Book tells us we can’t know when, but it hasn’t happened yet.
“The Day Of The Lord is coming.”
“The Day Of The Lord is near.”
“The Day Of The Lord is at hand.”
“Blow the trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm in my holy mountain: let all the inhabitants of the land tremble: for the Day Of The Lord is coming, for it is at hand.”
“The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and the terrible Day Of The Lord comes.”
“The Day Of The Lord will come as a thief in the night; in which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are in it shall be burned up.”
“Since everything will be destroyed in this way, what kind of people ought you to be? You ought to conduct yourselves in holiness and godliness.”
“Look, I am coming soon! Blessed is the one who keeps the words of the prophecy written in this book.”
“Look, I am coming soon! My reward is with me, and I will give to each person according to what they have done.”*
“Yes, I am coming soon.”
“Amen. Come, Lord Jesus.”
“The spirit may be saved in the Day Of The Lord Jesus.”*
– – –
I wish we’d all been ready.
There’s no time to change your mind;
The Son has come,
And you’ve been left behind.
– – –
WOW, that is loaded, and it’s only part of the verses on The Day Of The Lord in His Book.
I chose to address The Day Of The Lord by only quoting Bible verses and the song verse.
*Referring to the two verses with *—Jesus will give rewards for work we have done, not salvation for work we have done—Our spirit is saved by believing in the work Jesus has done for us.
DEI is not in the right order to achieve the New World Order.
D-is correctly first
-Focus on Diversity, which immediately morphs into Divisity.
-Division is the first step toward marxist takeover.
-Then, Diversion keeps the masses occupied, thinking and talking about one created headline after another, while the masters continue their power grab.
-Destruction of America is underway—the fools who comply with masking never realize that everything keeping them busy now is a mask to cover the real agenda.
I-is next
-Inclusive is a false pretext of including everyone—gain popularity by further fooling the masses.
-Inclusive is the lie of including everyone, EXCEPT those who disagree.
E-is the last step
-Equity is the biggest surprise, surprise—all promises aside—no apology to the fools who believed the lies.
-Equity—everyone experiences equity then.
-Equity—everyone is equally poor, broke, hungry, hopeless, enslaved.
THEN- the inevitable end game
-Enter the totalitarian New World Order—total control.
America is in the middle of this right now, just as surely as reading from a history book in a hundred years.
If the title does not apply to you, that’s good—you’re satisfied with your age, and your attitude makes the most of it, and it shows.
– – –
First, it is universally pointless to not act your age—that is, deny your age.
We cannot do anything to change our age, except live another day and another year, and our age changes automatically (my, how profound).
Sometimes we see others trying to act younger than their age, and it can look silly, or impressive for awhile.
On the other side, the routine of childhood, wishing to be older with more freedom, may be harmless, unless we do not outgrow the wishing and dreaming for that elusive someday when our goals are reached and we can really live.
That attitude never matches our age, and results in missing out on living today, and the next day, and so on.
– – –
Our conversations often reveal our attitude, and whether it matches our age.
We can talk about “someday” in the future, or we can talk about “once upon a time” in the past, but others listening to us can tell if our outlook seizes the opportunities of today, or not.
Be thankful for today, and your age, and everything in your life now.
If life stinks, you can’t make it smell better by talking about yesterday and doing nothing, or by living for tomorrow and burning the candle at both ends, any more than you can improve your finances with credit cards.
There’s no place to buy another candle, with your choice of smell.
If you’re struggling with ‘contentment syndrome’ (that is, discontent), start with thinking about contentment for today, and work hard and faithfully on what you can do today.
Then your age and your attitude can mesh like the teeth of two gears, and you can experience more energy for today.
– – –
There is another article on this site, SUCCESS – – – SIMPLIFIED.
“Having food and clothing, be content.”—–His Book
“Godliness with contentment is great gain.”—–His Book
I like to combine those two into a formula.
Food + Clothes = Contentment
Godliness + Contentment = Great Gain (Success)
Therefore:
Godliness + Food + Clothes = Success
CREATION to CREMATION – – – with INUNDATION in between, one time.
That’s the history and the future of this world and the universe.
– – –
CREATION—“In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.”
INUNDATION—“Now the earth was corrupt in God’s sight and was full of violence. I am going to bring floodwaters on the earth to destroy all life under the heavens, every creature that has the breath of life in it. Everything on earth will perish.”
CREMATION—“But the day of the Lord will come like a thief. The heavens will disappear with a roar; the elements will be destroyed by fire, and the earth and everything done in it will be laid bare.”*
– – –
What about you, and me?
Not quite as simple, but very clear.
– – –
+CREATED at conception
+INUNDATED at times by life
+DEAD at appointed time
+CREMATED (optional, changes nothing)
– – –
then
– – –
+JUDGMENT at the throne of God !
– – –
“It is appointed unto man once to die, and thereafter the judgment.”
– – –
No reason to dance around reality.
“I wish we’d all been ready.
There’s no time to change your mind;
The Son has come, and you’ve been left behind.”
– – –
“Have you been to Jesus for the cleansing flood?
Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb?
Are your garments spotless, are they white as snow?
Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb?”
– – –
“Do you know that you’ve been born again?
Does the Spirit dwell within
Bearing witness that you’ve been
Cleansed from every sin and shame?
Are you ready if the Lord should come
Or today your soul should claim?
– – –
“Behold, now is the accepted time (to accept Jesus); behold, now is the day of salvation.”
*”Since everything will be destroyed in this way, what kind of people ought you to be? You ought to live holy and godly lives.”
I recently came across a radio station by accident, because I lost my preset to American Family Radio.
I listened for awhile to someone expounding on the trinity.
He sounded sincere enough, and he must have a following, to be on the radio.
Then he said the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit show the diversity of God.
WOW—maybe some other time, but the current use of the word ‘diversity’ is tied to ‘inclusive’—specifically accepting and promoting everything the lgbt agenda demands—totally anathema to Christianity.
The speaker could not not know, that he was watering down the message of the Bible to the point of absurdity.
– – –
Just to make sure, for the record, for everyone:
The clear reason that lgbt/dei*, in any form, is incompatible with Christianity—
+They can only talk about love, and including everyone (except Christians).
+Christianity calls for repentance from sin, and accepting God’s love and forgiveness, paid by Jesus on the cross.
– – –
Let no one who is a Jesus follower ever dilute or distort the message of the Bible, in its simplicity and clarity.
It cannot be misunderstood or misrepresented except by intentional design—and there is a lot of that now—promised apostasy close to the end.
*lgbt/dei—lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender / diversity, equity, inclusion
The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation guarantees protection of your money in the bank—backed by the “full faith and credit of the United States government.”
– – –
Just how far can your faith in the credit of the U S government actually guarantee anything?
Just how far can your faith in the fox guarantee protection for your chickens in the hen house?
– – –
Suppose you do not have credit debt over the limit.
Suppose you have money in the bank.
Suppose the above questions and skepticism apply to you.
– – –
Is there any safe place for your money, guaranteed?
Oh, there is no end to more and more financial advice, to steer you clear of the pitfalls of the past, with better plans to do well in the midst of serious, present uncertainty—and the unknowns ahead.
– – –
STORING UP TREASURES (read the article on this site soon)
Where is your money safe, guaranteed?
Just do what Jesus told us to do.
Do you know Jesus said, “Do not store up treasures, . . .” ?
Do you know Jesus said, “Do store up treasures, . . .” ?
– – –
“Do not store up treasures on earth, where moth and rust corrupt, and where thieves break in and steal.”
“Do store up treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not corrupt, and where thieves do not break in and steal.”
“Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.”
– – –
Antithetical to everything currently American—Follow what Jesus said, literally—Give your money away now, to meet people’s needs, in ways that also include telling them about Jesus.
