Making a Difference in your Life, in the Parts that are for Keeps!
Now doesn’t last.
Don’t try to save it.
Don’t try to duplicate it.
Use it, spend it, live it.
Everything is now, or never.
Whatever you do now requires sacrificing everything else you could do now.
So choose wisely.
Ask God for wisdom now.
Do not be double minded now, about now.
“As a man thinks in his heart, so is he.”
“Proceed, but don’t worry.”
And be thankful for now.
It’s all you’ve got.

“God, Help Us”
or
“Government, Help Us”
So what does it mean to “help” us or “save” us?
Governments save anything that will keep them in power. “I’m from the government, and I’m here to help you.”
God saves anyone, like me, who humbly and honestly asks Him to forgive my sin and let Jesus be Lord of my life. Then He promises to help me through everything in this life.
(more on this later, and much more earlier on this site)
I thank God for Donald Trump saying what needs to be said*—I just wish he would do the same.
*except for his mushy definition of social conservatism
“If you like your health care, you can keep it.”
—I like health care without health insurance—especially without government health insurance—and I expect to keep it.
2012—“If you like your liar president, you can keep him another four years.”
—He never was my president, and I never called him president.
2016—“If you like your tyrannical president, you can keep him forever as dictator.”
—History repeats, and the people suffer, including the righteous remnant.
Now a couple quotes from Gov. Bobby Jindal:
After reviewing his family’s immigration heritage, the governor said how wonderful it is to live in this country where anyone can be elected President. “Unfortunately, in 2008 and 2012 we found out just how true that is.”
And the foreboding, prophetic winner with words into BHOB*’s mouth, “If you like your religious freedom, you can keep it.”
We may as well hear BHOB* say, “We achieved our goal in two steps—a Post-Christian America, then a Post-America World.
*BHOB—Barack Hussein OBama—Say BHHHOB aloud and it sounds like the warning for Christians in the 2008 election: “Beware of sheep’s clothing.”
I am naturally wired to seriously worry.
God’s software programs me to pray.
To overcome worry, I have to run His software often.
“Don’t worry about anything;
Instead, pray about everything.”
I played basketball my second year at a small junior college .
Not much to say about how I did, but I do remember the coach’s often repeated line, “Don’t telegraph your passes.”
You can guess where I’m going with this—applied to war, today.
Seems when the good guys broadcast their intentions, they suffer and lose.
Seems when the bad guys make their intentions clear, nobody believes them, and nobody responds accordingly.
War is complicated, and war is hell, and waiting to wage a winnable war is worse.
Something has got to be simple in all the mess.
The consequences of losing this one today are unthinkable, even though people see those consequences every day on their screen.
BHOB* keeps telling everyone when we will end wars, while the enemy keeps telling everyone they’re going to intensify the war, until they reach their goal—us.
So the bad guys telegraph their passes, and the good guys don’t get it.
How come?
The “good guys” ARE the bad guys—running the show from Washington, along with those running the show from the Middle East.
A lot of Americans realize how bad, how evil, the leadership is in Washington.
So why can’t we defeat them?
For too long the REAL “good guys” in America have telegraphed our passes and made it clear that we will avoid violence at all cost.
Because we avoid violence, the cost of the coming violence will be enormous.
We wait for the next election, and we hope, and we lose.
This last one turned out to be snatching political defeat from the jaws of election victory, again.
Everybody’s wrapped up in what the “leaders” should be doing, and what should happen in 2016.
Again, we’re making it clear that we’re counting on another election, while the enemy (inside and out) laughs and plans their final assault, long before then.
They couldn’t be more obvious—plenty of dates and intentions, in 2015, and we wait?
And we just passed the midpoint of 2015.
God help us now—We need a miracle.
And give us all supernatural gun control—with our two hands held by Yours.
*BHOB—Barack Hussein OBama—Say BHHHOB aloud and it sounds like the warning for Christians in the 2008 election: “Beware of sheep’s clothing.”
In America, it will be getting harder to be a Christian.
Also—
In America, it will be getting easier to tell who is a Christian.
(worth repeating)
“The wicked will be turned into hell; and all the nations that forget God.”
In the light of that truth unfolding in front of our eyes, what can I say, and what can I do?
A simple line from a song on the radio this morning says it well, and I will leave it with you now:
“Keep pushing back the dark;
Somebody needs the light you have.”
That will always be so.
It seems that I cannot make it through most days without one or more miracles.
God has to pull something again and again for me to just get by.
And a miracle is something that we can’t explain any other way, “but God”.
So what is my problem with that?
My nemesis is a tendency to say, “What’s wrong with me, that I can’t accomplish stuff and get things done like other people I know?”
And God says, “What’s wrong with you is that you’re trying to accomplish stuff and get things done like other people. But I want you to depend on Me, so I get the credit and the glory for anything good in your life.”
So what can I say?
Okay, God.
Plane crash into mountain?
Train crash speeding into curve?
Intentional?
Planned?
Deranged?
Or
Arranged?
