“REASONED AS A CHILD . . .”

February 3, 2021 By Leave a Comment

Reason as a child.

Reason with a child.

“When I was a child, I reasoned as a child. When I became a man, I put away childish things.”

– – –

A time comes when we no longer reason as a child—when one becomes a man/woman.

If we never get that, we can never reason successfully with a child.

– – –

So, how and when does a man (a father, a mother) reason WITH a child?

How does a parent reason with a child?

—reason as a man (adult)?

or

—reason as a child?

How?

Reason as a man (adult), with or without the child’s comprehension, understanding, or agreement.

Consistent, TIMELY discipline works wonders on the above three (comprehension, understanding, agreement), at any age.

– – –

When does a parent reason with a child?

Very, very, very critically important ! ! !

Reason with a child ahead of time—before the need arises for timely obedience or consequences for the lack thereof.

– – –

Reasoning with a child at the time of disrespect, demonstrated through disobedience, is child abuse.

NO MORE MANNA

January 27, 2021 By Leave a Comment

Every day for forty years God provided complete food, manna, for the people of Israel.

The very day they crossed into the promised land, the manna stopped.

There is a time for waiting on God.

There is a time for action, to fight, to defeat enemies.

It is always a time to ask God what time it is.

THE NEW ‘ADMINISTRATION’

January 27, 2021 By Leave a Comment

It will soon become apparent that the term ‘administration’ will not accurately refer to the new government in Washington.

Administrations have come and gone in this country for centuries—some with a yawn, some with severe rhetoric, always with the assumption that change is possible, and the pendulum would always swing back from the brink—because this is America, with a Constitution that works, and because God honors what pleases Him.

But when the leadership openly rejects and blasphemes God and His people, there comes a time when God cuts the cable, and the pendulum comes crashing down with destruction, with no return.

HELLFIRE AND DAMNATION?

January 27, 2021 By Leave a Comment

Don’t preach on hellfire and damnation in America today.

Don’t preach on exclusivity.

Don’t preach on sin.

Don’t preach on lgbt lifestyles.

Do preach on inclusivity.

Do preach on tolerance of lgbt.

Do preach on acceptance of lgbt.

Do preach on militant promotion of lgbt.

OR ELSE—or else we’ll have to ‘take care of you,’ and problems like you.

– – –

Well, there is a place east of the Mediterranean that directly applies to this subject.

It’s 1300 feet below sea level—lowest land on earth.

It has water, but no life—super-concentrated salt water.

At one time it was thriving, just like America.

It also had the philosophies above, and practiced them militantly, as mentioned above.

Don’t object, or you won’t exist—both places.

B U T G O D . . . ?

God had the last volley in the culture war of Sodom and Gomorrah.

And they too thought they were “on the right side of history”—and ended up on the bottom side of history, literally.

If you like, you could try digging it up under the Dead Sea, where it’s been for four millennia after God nuked it—DEAD !

– – –

Where does that leave America ?

We’ve got all that, like Sodom—plus SIXTY MILLION babies murdered before birth.

– – –

Jesus said, “It will be more tolerable for Sodom and Gomorrah than for you.”

PROMISES ! – – – PROMISES ?

January 27, 2021 By Leave a Comment

Trump

Promises made—promises kept !

On that we can agree (love or hate).

– – –

Biden

Promises made—promises kept ?

First week, yes, as fast as he can, undoing America’s heritage, progress, freedom, strength, independence, morality, security, future, and trust in God—as promised.

After he satisfies these promises, on to the impossible/unsustainable socialism promises.

He will do what every socialist dictator does (after ‘elected’ to power)—he will hand out some token free stuff to satisfy the people—then when unsustainability inevitably comes, quickly, he starts taking money that’s left, anywhere, from anybody.

He can’t do that—how can he do that?

– – –

Maybe this is a good time to insert the difference between socialism (1-‘utopia,’ 2-‘equality,’ 3-‘justice’) and communism (1, 2, 3 just for the top dogs)—

The difference between socialism and communism is—GUNS ! ! !

– – –

Just in case anyone missed it—25,000 troops in Washington, D.C., for day one of Biden’s rule.

And reports have it—they’re not leaving (except for a few states like Texas and Florida, with some sanity in their governor’s office, ordering them back home).

– – –

So, back to the question:

He can’t do that—how can he do that—take our money, our stuff?

As we speak, unseen by most, the military is being re-configured, purged, weakened for any defense of America, and strengthened for full defense of Biden and company.

– – –

And, fyi, Biden is appearing to function rather ‘normal’ so far.

How’s that, and where does Harris fit in?

Ever since the sun rose on January 6, their plan is working like clockwork.

And why shouldn’t it?

+Rigged election—done deal

+Inauguration—without a hitch

+Propaganda all in place—Trump supporters are terrorists

+Washington, D.C., barricaded like a communist country—the new normal

– – –

Biden will take it as far as he can without revolt (because he’s so nice), just signing his name.

Then, with the new military in their bed, Harris will take over to lower the boom of dictatorship and partnership with China.

– – –

The only question remaining:

How fast can they pull it off, before we catch on and stop it (uh . . . figure out a way to stop it—out of practice 245 years).

WORDS, WORDS, WORDS – – – AND ‘THE WORD’

January 21, 2021 By Leave a Comment

Are we so accustomed to saying words, and even quoting the Word, like we know we’re supposed to—that we fail to find the fresh application of the Word of God to the dark days ahead.

What is coming is so foreign to us that all our easy answers for easy times, may fail many of us in sudden hard times.

For many centuries the church withheld the Bible from the common people. When they lost that grip of control, the Reformation transformed the people and transformed the world—because they read God’s Word for themselves.

Today the church has withheld from the people the hard parts of the Christian life, presented and promised throughout the Bible.

Persecution is not popular.

We can no longer expect a pass.

We will see the only path to power.

We will be driven to the Word when the rest is burned away.

SECURITY ? – – – OR A STATEMENT ?

January 21, 2021 By Leave a Comment

The phenomenal show of security in force at the inauguration in Washington was far in excess of necessary.

The reports say the city barricaded with concrete and barbed wire looked more like a communist takeover than a peaceful transfer of power in America.

I see the show to be another organized statement repeating the narrative that conservative Trump followers are the greatest terrorist threat.

And, for those who can look at January 20 with the perspective of history, the show of force by the government (25,000 troops) without the show of force by the people (no citizens), is a frightening forecast of the future of America.

SECOND AMENDMENT – – – THEN AND NOW

January 21, 2021 By Leave a Comment

If American Patriots held the same reservations we have today about acting on the second amendment, before they had the second amendment, we would not have The United States of America.

And, our universal hesitation to actually use the second amendment as intended, will cost us The United States of America today.

We now have the wayward government for which they provided us the second amendment, and we have no intentions, or even know how, to use it to stop the government.

And, we now have no leader ready to risk all for the cause—or do we?

Time is short—time is running out—‘too soon to act’ is turning into ‘too late to act.’

TWO INAUGURATIONS

January 20, 2021 By Leave a Comment

Alternate title, revealing the point of this article:

IRAN—CRAZY, BUT NOT ALTOGETHER STUPID

Within hours of Reagan’s inauguration, Iran avoided doomsday and released our American hostages, after our previous attempts failed.

Within hours of Biden’s inauguration, Iran will . . . ?

At any rate, they will create and celebrate the muslim version of christmas day—best present since Obama’s gift wrapped in dollar bills.

Except, the celebration won’t be joined by the masses of the people of Iran who loved Trump because he gave them hope, by his actions.

It remains to be seen (if we get the facts) whether the severely suffering Iranians will get any relief when Biden relieves the pressure on the Iranian leadership.

Footnote prediction for us: It won’t be long before Americans understand and experience the Iranian and Venezuelan reality—dictators don’t care about the people after they get power and laugh at anyone who believed their campaign promises.

“REJOICE WITH ME, THIS, MY SON WAS . . .”

January 14, 2021 By Leave a Comment

Jesus’ parable still holds true today, in countless families and individuals.

Some people get to experience the joyful ending, with the words,

“This, my son, was lost and is found—was dead and is alive.”

However, we have proudly added an atrocious distortion, publicly—

“Rejoice with me, for this, my son, was alive, and is now dead—was created, and is now destroyed.”

So sad, so wicked, so many people in places of prominence, actually take pride in rejoicing over the death of our babies who were alive, and are now dead.

With no remorse—with no apology—with no satisfaction—with never enough—with insatiable, religious fervor demanding more and more of the same.

We forget the ending—BUT GOD . . . !

I just read a remembrance article by George Faithful from January 27, 2015.

I typed in “their blood cries out from the ground” and clicked on OUPblog.
