TRUTH ON THE SCAFFOLD

January 20, 2023 By 2 Comments

(Comments addressed to Temple, Texas City Council meeting 1-19-23)

“Truth forever on the scaffold—–Wrong forever on the throne.

Yet that scaffold sways the future,—–And behind the dim unknown

Standeth God within the shadow,—–Keeping watch above His own.”

– – –

Truth was on the scaffold during covid.—–Truth is coming out now, all over.

– – –

Masking was wrong.

+Masking devastated education.

+Smiles were banned by masking.

+Communication was curtailed.

– – –

‘Social’ Distancing was a misnomer—–What should have been called medical distancing, social distancing separated people’s relationships, to create suspicion and distrust—–Division, the hallmark of marxism.

– – –

The forced ‘vaccine’ (so called) was illegal, harmful—– now, truth, and the mandate is banned.

– – –

Hydroxychloroquin and Ivermectin were effective, and banned.

– – –

The covid shutdown closed churches, and churches complied, and didn’t recover.

– – –

Truth may be on the scaffold during the current pandemic of dei—–Yet that scaffold sways the future.

You do not need to wait for the future to know the truth about dei with its dire consequences, just as sure as the irrecoverable damage done to all of us from the covid shutdown.

You realize the current inflation came from the government shutdown for covid and the stimulus checks of manufactured money to cover their disaster—with natural consequences.

– – –

The covid shutdown, lgbt, dei ‘enlightenment’, crt, socialism, marxism—they are all simply a war against truth, against God, and against God’s people.

– – –

Catering just a little to dei means bowing down to dei and to the forces that are using dei to destroy America.

How do you destroy America?—–Destroy the American church.

How do you destroy America?—–Weaken city councils to not stand against dei and drag queen shows and whatever they come up with next.

PIONEERS AND US (10)

January 7, 2023 By Leave a Comment

Did the pioneers have something inside, that we don’t have today?

Yes, several things—one at a time here.

– – –

Pioneers had a consistent set of values and beliefs that they were bound and determined to pass on to the next generation, intact.

It was a package—with God, family, work, the 3R’s, right and wrong, Bible, morality—known and universally sanctioned in the home and in the community.

It is referred to as ‘the old school.’

Today we scarcely even know what that package is, to pass on, much less how to pass it on.

Question before us, not faced by pioneers:

What will happen when the few people who can remember the old school are gone?

WHAT DO WE KNOW NOW – – – REALLY ?

January 4, 2023 By Leave a Comment

I can’t say I know it all or get excited about The Renaissance or The Enlightenment, that supposedly freed us from The (Dark) Middle Ages.

Man is always driven by the urge to do better than the past, to think we have arrived—and then, we do what we do best—we repeat history, especially the parts that produce tyranny, slavery, suffering, and massive murders.

– – –

Philosophers influence educators and aspiring political leaders, and ideologues capitalize on the perfect moment to change the world.

And, except for the unique record of The United States of America, nearly all world-changers driven by the newest ideas, create repeated disasters instead of promised utopia.

“From each according to his ability—to each according to his needs.” Never works.

– – –

+Communism worldwide—110 million murdered, particularly in Russia, China, Cambodia.

+Emperor worship in Japan—6 million killed.

+Dictatorship in North Korea—zero freedom, no light at night (satellite picture).

– – –

“Eliminate imperfect people to maintain a perfect race.” Always reveals demonic evil.

+Nazism—20 million murdered.

+Eugenics eliminate inferior or unwanted, especially unborn—60 million murdered in America so far—70 million murdered in the world every year.

– – –

It is no wonder the increased horrors of the last century, and those continuing today, and the new horrors on the horizon—it is no wonder this matches what the Bible says will happen without God in our knowledge.

Type in the search bar on the internet “in the last days” and find an abundance of passages that read like a current newspaper.

Let it sober you, to call on God, for these times.

– – –

Beware of promises that hide the cost.

Promised utopia—at the cost of freedom, always !

And the people end up with neither utopia nor freedom, always !

And millions end up without life itself, always !

SUCCESSFUL SALESMANSHIP

December 31, 2022 By Leave a Comment

+ ONE—Some products are successful simply because they are so good that they sell, regardless of the salesman or salesmanship.

+ TWO—Some products are successful because the salesmanship is just too good to pass it up.

+ THREE—Some products are successful because the salesmanship is just so relentlessly repetitive, that people believe it and repeat it and buy into it whether it’s true or not.

– – –

Successful salesmanship apples to marketing physical products.

Successful salesmanship applies to marketing ideas and cultural values as well.

– – –

++ ONE—‘The Old School’ was a package of information, values, skills, and beliefs that families and communities accepted as a given and committed to passing on intact to the next generation. Whether they had the best techniques or not (salesmanship), everyone involved would do their part to make sure children behaved and believed and grew up to maintain what mattered.

++ TWO—Cool and clever commercials work because they catch us and we remember them. People buy the products whether they live up to the commercials or not. Campaign slogans use tried and true phrases that win elections whether the truth was told or not. Some televangelists and prosperity preachers perfect the presentation of cool, and right or wrong, the money pours in.

++ THREE—The power of evil government officials and the ‘fourth branch of the government’, the media, combine to prove once again that if you tell a lie enough times, people believe it.

GLOBALISM AND THE CHURCH – or – GLOBALISM VS THE CHURCH

December 31, 2022 By Leave a Comment

Rick Warren (labeled ‘America’s Pastor’) took the American church by storm with his runaway bestseller, THE PURPOSE DRIVEN LIFE.

Very few criticisms, if any.

And his church is the biggest in the Southern Baptist denomination.

I had reservations then, but he did include a lot of Bible verses.

Now, sadly, truth comes out, and reality crashes in all over the American church, including Rick Warren.

So many churches, leaders, ‘Christians’ are wavering and compromising with the culture in the country and the “reset” goal around the globe.

– – –

Five minutes ago I heard a quote on American Family Radio (afr.net) on the program “Understanding The Times.”

“Globalism will only be possible if the American church goes along with it.”

Rick Warren said that at a recent meeting of the World Economic Forum—a speaker by invitation—a group organizing one-world government—a goal with one obstacle in their path, the Christian church.

– – –

All I have to offer in return is this Bible verse:

“Whoever wants to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God.”

(2) FATHER, SON, HOLY SPIRIT

December 31, 2022 By Leave a Comment

Read and listen to everything God tells us about Himself.

Open your “. . . heart and mind and soul and spirit”* “to trust in the Lord with ALL your . . .”* as you read and listen.

Open mind—without “leaning on your own understanding”* (or someone else’s).

Practice not fitting in words that man has added, that try to explain God better than He explains Himself.

Then, “I will show you great and mighty things which you do not know.”*

*Combining the Bible verses: Trust in the Lord with all your heart and mind and soul and spirit, without leaning on anyone’s understanding, and God will show you stuff you need to know, and understand, and do.

ANTI-SLAVERY – – – TO – – – DEMONIC

December 29, 2022 By Leave a Comment

Major change in America.

What happened?

What results?

– – –

+Slavery out

+Evolution in

+Bible out

+Ten Commandments out

+Prayer out

+Abortion in

+Crime in

+Leadership out

+Politicians in

+Statesmen out

+Morality out

+LGBT in

+Aimlessness in

What caused what in the above?

How did it get started?

Why didn’t the church—Christians—stop, prevent, all the mess of today?

Is there an unspoken, unidentified development that got us on this wrong road to disaster?

A few words of warning, explanation, from history—from the God of history—to His people Israel.

“When you have eaten and are satisfied, praise the Lord your God for the good land he has given you.  Be careful that you do not forget the Lord your God.  Otherwise, when you eat and are satisfied, when you build fine houses and settle down, and when your silver and gold increase and all you have is multiplied, then your heart will become proud and you will forget the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of slavery.”

“Now therefore fear the Lord, and serve him in sincerity and in truth. And if it seem evil unto you to serve the Lord, choose you this day whom ye will serve. As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.”

“No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon.”

– – –

That is the story of the American church, and American Christians. We have become rich and satisfied with God’s extraordinary blessings on this country. We have become proud of what we have, and have forgotten God. We have become focused on money and what it can buy. We have become servants of mammon, and don’t realize it.

It is the most impossible idolatry to repent of. It is impossible to be salt and light in the decaying and darkening culture. It is impossible to break free of total investment in “treasures on earth.”

FU – – – LU – – – SHU

December 29, 2022 By Leave a Comment

They say there are Chinese gods you can buy—to get what everybody wants:

+FU—gods for Peace

+LU—gods for Success

+SHU—gods for Longevity

– – –

I heard about this from Allister Begg on American Family Radio (afr.net)—“You can buy them on the airline, if you’re gullible enough to spend $150.”

– – –

Would we be so naive to actually buy something so ridiculous?

Actually, yes, we would—we are.

– – –

For Peace—People spend lots of money on insurance to ‘buy peace’ against loss of stuff.

– – –

For Success—People earn lots of money and invest in portfolios to ‘show success.’

– – –

For Longevity—People sacrifice to accumulate/save/stash/preserve for retirement, to somehow ‘enhance longevity.’

THE WORD IN SONG

December 29, 2022 By Leave a Comment

“Let the Word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.”—–Colossians 3:16

– – –

That verse can be used well to direct and evaluate church music, and all corporate worship—in fact, everything we do in the “assembling of ourselves together.”

– – –

Study the verse above slowly and carefully.

It’s all about THE WORD in us so rich and so deep, that everything flows from and reveals our time spent in His Word.

– – –

Music is to “teach and admonish” from “the Word of Christ.”

– – –

In fact, the ONE ingredient, and measurement, of a Christian’s life, and a church’s life, is daily time in the Bible.

It is the universal ‘just do it’ for any Jesus follower.

TRINITY ? – – – BE HONEST, FOR ONCE

December 17, 2022 By Leave a Comment

From now on, every time you hear a preacher or teacher mention or expound on ‘the trinity’, stop and honestly ask yourself this question:

“What did those words actually do for my faith and my relationship with God?”

– – –

Some followup questions:

+”Is it not perhaps true that ‘trinity’, and all the language that goes with it, does more for the theologian than the layman?”

+”Just exactly where did those comments come from?—from the Bible?”

+”Did the comments match Bible words, and make them more clear?”

+Ask the speaker, “Would you explain what you just said about ‘the trinity’?” (Then ask the above questions again, after the response.)

+”Have we ‘always done it (said it) this way’—really?—or maybe not, like not in the Bible?”

+”Have we gotten so ‘used to’ the ‘trinity’ wording that nobody ever questions it?”

+”What happens if anyone does question the universal use of ‘the trinity’?”

– – –

– – –

Danger—church teaching can become more sacred than Scripture.
