I MADE MY DADDY HAPPY

AND MAMA TOO.

When I was very young, on the way home from church I shared the Bible verse I learned in Sunday School, “We love Him because He first loved us.”

When I was in my 20’s, teaching fourth graders in a Christian school 1500 miles away, I heard my dad say numerous times on the phone, “I’m so glad you’re telling those little lambs about Jesus.”

Someday I’ll sing with Mom and Dad,

“I love you, Lord, and I lift my voice

.       To worship You.  Oh my soul, rejoice.

Take joy, my King [My Heavenly Daddy], in what you hear;

.       May it be a sweet, sweet sound in Your ear.”

WHEN YOU “HAVE TO” DO SOMETHING

The question is this:  When will Americans reach the point when we have to do something?

So far, the average citizens have their hands full keeping up with their bills, their jobs, their families.  Actually, that is how it is supposed to be in our free country—we’re alive and we have freedom to work to pursue happiness for ourselves and those we love—the first words of our Constitution.

But the day has come when we have to do something, like our founding fathers did to create this awesome country.

History repeats itself.  Can America repeat its exceptionalism, or will America repeat the demise of every other country in pursuit of decadence.

—The Chinese students “had to” protest in Tienanmen Square.

—Chinese Communist leaders “had to” mow down the students with tanks.

—In Cairo, thousands “had to” protest with sticks and stones.

—Muslim Brotherhood “had to” seize the opportunity to take over Egypt.

—Over half a million, especially young people, “had to” march for life in Washington.

—The media “had to” ignore the March for Life.

—Truckers will eventually “have to” protest high diesel prices.

—The administration in Washington “has to” raise fuel prices by killing drilling.

—Hitler “had to” kill Jews.

—Politicians “have to” sanction killing of babies.

—Politicians “have to” sanction gun control so we can’t prevent killing of our babies that survive their first nine months of life.

—Homeland Security, IRS, Forest Service, etc. “have to” stockpile five to six rounds of hollow-point for every single American for ‘domestic’ use.

—Everybody “has to” tolerate everybody, except Christians and conservatives and patriots and . . .

 

—The question is this:  When will Americans reach the point when we “have to” do something that we are not ready to do yet?

MONEY VISION – – – DO YOU NEED GLASSES?

If you have money, you will look at life through the lens of money.

If you do not have money, you may still look at life through the lens of money.

The lens of money leaves you miserable.

How about this advice:

“Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not highminded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, Who gives us richly all things to enjoy;

That they do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to give, willing to share;

Laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that they may lay hold on eternal life.”

“Those who desire to be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and harmful lusts which drown men in destruction and damnation.”

“Having food and clothing, with these let us be content.”

“Godliness with contentment is great gain.”

 

Money vision – – – Do we need glasses?

Yes.  Try the lens of contentment.

CHECKS AND BALANCES—CHECKED OUT

1961, 1962  The Judicial Branch of the U.S. Government officially checked God out of America when it got rid of Prayer and the Ten Commandments in school.

2013  The Executive Branch of the U.S. Government officially checked God out of America when it approved the inaugural invocation with “One nation, [ . . . ] indivisible, with . . .”

. . . . .  For many years now, the Legislative Branch of the U.S. Government has checked God out of America by miserable default.

I just reviewed some of the articles on this site about marriage.

Please do a search yourself, starting with 3-1-12 and 12-3-12.

Then read the rest and notice how vital marriage (and family) is to every part of life and every part of a free and healthy society.

MORALITY BOUGHT BY MONEY ? – – – BSA – – – CLASSIC CASE TODAY

“. . . morally straight . . .”

Millions of men have pledged those words at an early age.

Millions of men testify to that pledge making a lifelong positive impact on their lives.

Millions of men will understand the enormous loss for America if that pledge is tampered with.

Millions of future men will not understand the weakening of manhood if that pledge is tampered with.

NO COMPROMISE HERE!!!!!

N O N E

WHERE’S YOUR TREASURE? – – – WHERE’S YOUR HEART?

1)  Can you decide where to put your money?

2)  Can you decide where to put your heart?

3)  Can your money and your heart be in different places?

4)  Can your money be in two different places?

5)  Can your heart be in two different places?

6)  What exactly directs your money budget?

7)  What exactly directs your heart budget?

8)  Can you tell your money to go one place—and tell your heart to go another place?

9)  Can your money tell your heart where to go?

10)  Can your heart tell your money where to go?

11)  Which of the last two questions is more likely to happen?

If you do not follow Jesus’ teaching, it is simple to answer the money/heart questions.  You put both (money and heart) into the most you can accumulate in this life, to live and retire as comfortably as you can.  And there is plenty of advice and opportunity for you to do that successfully.

End of story—End of discussion—End of issue—for you—for now.

for now?

One more day I am proud to be a Texan.

One more day I am proud to be a Texan.

 

Texas Governor says violent crime is not a gun problem; it is a spiritual problem.

JESUS CHRISTIANITY vs BARACK HUSSEINITY

Christianity is everything about Jesus Christ the Savior, with nothing added and nothing less.

Christianity is everything in the Bible, with nothing added or modified or questioned, and nothing less.

 

Barack Husseinity is political expediency at best—fooling foolish religious Americans to further his march to dictatorship.

Barack Husseinity is promises only a god could keep—empty promises.

Barack Husseinity is his choice to accept “messiah” worship—blasphemy to claim association with Christianity and (mis)quote the Bible.

BHOB* mentions the Golden Rule, but practices “Do unto others before they do unto you.”

BHOB*’s definition of sin reveals everything:  “Sin is anything that is against my values.”

So that is his religion, and he must be god, setting all standards, threatening all others.

 

The Romans worshiped the emperor, or else.

The Japanese worshiped the emperor, to fanatical suicide in WWII.

The Muslims train and seek martyrdom for their religion.

Americans now trade-in freedom at the altar of Barack Husseinity.

And then,

History repeats hell on earth.

 

*Barack Hussein OBama—Say BHHHOB aloud and it sounds like the warning for Christians in the 2008 election:  “Beware of sheep’s clothing.”
