TEXAS—OBAMA’S ENEMY—FREEDOM’S FRIEND

November 7, 2014 By 1 Comment

The greatest obstacle to BHOB*’s agenda is Texas.

The greatest defeat of BHOB*’s agenda is Texas.

Texas must stand up to be the last bastion of freedom in the world.

The best thing that could happen in Texas—end the flood of unwanted illegals on the southern border, followed by the flood of American refugees coming across the northern, eastern, and western borders to the Republic of Texas.

 

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

REVOLUTION—OR—RIOTS

October 24, 2014 By Leave a Comment

After six years, still no revolution to stop the dictatorship in Washington.

We must decide now—revolution or riots.

Revolution requires leadership and purpose—riots require nothing and produce only destruction.

When democracy fails, violence prevails.

It is not democracy that is failing—it is the people.

“This government will only work for a moral people; it totally unfit for any other.”

STUFF—A PERSONAL NOTE

October 22, 2014 By Leave a Comment

I don’t have much,

but

I choose to say:

I want to use it all,

Not just store it up.

No more compromise

(enough of that in the past)

No more wasted days

(enough of that in the past)

WORRY—OR—PRAY—TODAY

October 22, 2014 By Leave a Comment

When we are up against the wall— a paraphrase from His Book:

Not anxious.

Pray, in all this.

Plead with God.

Thanks, in this.

Tell God what we want.

He made today.

He gave today to all of us.

We know the beginning of today.

We don’t know the end of today.

Jesus knows.

Jesus loves us.

Jesus holds us.

Joy today.

Gladness today, in Him.

(from the beginning of the day of my sister-in-law’s cancer surgery)

 

“Be anxious for nothing,

But in everything by prayer

And supplication

With thanksgiving

Let your requests be made known to God.”

“The God of peace will keep your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.”

“This is the day the Lord has made;

We will rejoice and be glad in it.”     —–His Book

COUNT IT ALL LOSS—COUNT IT ALL JOY

October 14, 2014 By Leave a Comment

If you think this is something spiritual coming up, you’re right.

But it is also everyday real life practical, just as surely as the sun came up today and you need to eat.

After you get past the attempted complaints of contradictions in the Bible, and you buy into the truth of Jesus’ words, you still have to face numerous oxymorons in life and in the Bible.

The title above is prompted by two such oxymorons that fly in the face of typical human reasoning and effort.

I have come to believe that God lays out principles which contradict our thinking, so that all success in life is not to our credit, and even all failure in life is for His glory.  Perhaps the hardest place to learn this is in America.

COUNT IT ALL LOSS:

“The former things I counted as gain to me; those I count as loss for Christ.”

“Indeed, I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord; for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ.”

Sounds like we have to choose:

—Success according to the world

or

—Follow Jesus, and give up success according to the world

Oh, by the way, the Bible also says not many smart people, not many powerful people, not many respected in the world, are called and respond, but God chooses the foolish according to the world to confound the worldly wise.

Jesus said it is hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven.

And Jesus said not many people, period, will enter the kingdom of heaven.

COUNT IT ALL JOY:

“My brothers, count it all joy when you fall into all kinds of trouble; know that the trying of your faith works patience.  But let patience have her perfect work, so you will be perfectly complete and lack nothing.”

I agree, this doesn’t make sense—until we follow Jesus and give Him control of everything.

And even then we often ask “Why?”—until we get to heaven and find out it was all much more that worth it all.

Until then we have His promises in the Bible that guarantee both our outcome and our strength for today.

ENCOURAGEMENT FOR CHRISTIANS

October 7, 2014 By Leave a Comment

If you are experiencing increased attacks from the enemy, let’s claim all this is because we are on the right side of the war, on Jesus’ side.

The most dangerous place is where a Christian avoids the battle.

EVOLUTIONISTS GOT ONE THING RIGHT

September 20, 2014 By 1 Comment

From the beginning of efforts to advance their theory, their cause, evolutionists have used a very descriptive, and very accurate term, admitting their theory hinges on it.  This term is actually a truism, and it describes a truth even to this day, much to their dismay.

The term—“Missing Link”

Missing for Darwin

Missing for now

Missing forever

The real missing link for evolutionists is not hidden or elusive.  It is Genesis and the whole Bible.

It’s amazing how creation, in Genesis, opens up a whole world of discovery that fits and makes sense and doesn’t require the “intellectual” gymnastics called for, to prop up evolution.

Summary:

Evolution is an Invention, not a Discovery.
