. . . BUT GOD . . .

August 20, 2021 By Leave a Comment

What in the world could God do in the situation we’re in today?

He could do absolutely anything, because He is God.

What will He do?

I don’t know.

What can we do?

We can pray.

I do know God listens.

Today, God will work in the lives of individuals who cry out to Him in trouble, first.

Today, God will strengthen the believers in trouble, so they will know they are not forgotten, when we cry out to Him, for them.

Today, God will prepare us for the days ahead, so we will be faithful to the end, when we cry out to Him more earnestly than ever, now.

LIFE

Life is not always fair, or fun, or fixed.

Be thankful on those occasions when it is.

The secret is learning to be content, and thankful for both.

“CHRISTIAN SHRINK” – – – OXYMORON ?

June 14, 2021 By Leave a Comment

I don’t know about that one.

I do know there are a lot of folks who fit the definition of ‘ox’ + ‘moron’ while claiming the name of Christianity.

Where is the line between using this label for a saying, or using the label for a person?

– – –

How about this for real—is there room for words to carry truth—more than just using words flippantly for effect?

– – –

“In the world you will have BIG trouble—cheer up . . .” (Insane oxymoron of the highest order)

– – –

“We must through MUCH trouble enter . . .” (Pass, on purposely following that promise)

– – –

“Count it all joy when you land MANY troubles . . .” (You’ve got to be kidding)

– – –

In case you’re wondering, there’s more from that same source.

In case you want to sign up,

“Everybody will hate you . . .” (If they find your leader’s name on you)

– – –

“You’ll lose it all, ALL, for signing up with my label, my name, my EXCLUSIVE outfit.” (Interested yet?)

– – –

You know, lots of gangs recruit that way, and operate that way, successfully.

Oh, by the way, those gangs are not limited to the low-life in dark alleys.

Lots of ‘gangs’ use the same tools for recruitment and brutal control in very high places—in business, in politics, in religion, even churches.

– – –

So, if you look at my writings, I am not a negative skeptic, not a pacifist, not a cultist, not a dreamer, not a genius, not a conformist, not a ‘sheep,’ . . . so, how do I pull this together, after intentionally posing brutal questions of life?

If I’m not smart enough or clever enough or influential enough to start a new movement, I must put my weight and my words on proven truth—TRUTH that keeps getting forgotten over and over as history relentlessly repeats itself.

And we all fall victim to that, unsuspectingly.

For anyone who will read, and listen, I will call you back to TRUTH that stands because it has stood the test of time.

– – –

Pilate asked Jesus the right question, but he missed the answer—silence—because TRUTH was standing right there.

– – –

You see:

+Jesus did not fit in this world.

+Jesus’ followers did not fit in this world—never have, never will.

+This entire world is against God.

+This entire world is against God’s followers, but only if you claim the name of Jesus for your life. (Anyone can observe that nowadays.)

+Jesus is the one offense—universally.

+Jesus is the devil’s one enemy—and the devil lost at the battle of the grave—the RESURRECTION.

– – –

So, now we can see some of the puzzle pieces, even the oxymorons, start to fit in the big picture.

But it’s God’s picture, not created by people, or even by the church.

TRINITY – – – BIBLICAL or INVENTED

June 14, 2021 By Leave a Comment

The invention of the trinity by Tertullian in the third century, and the millions and millions of unsuccessful attempts to explain it, and yet the universal sacred adherence to it—is very much like the invention of evolution by Darwin in the nineteenth century, and the thousands of unsuccessful attempts to prove it, and yet the universal sacred adherence to it as a fact.

WHAT WILL TRIGGER U.S. DICTATORSHIP?

April 15, 2021 By Leave a Comment

The subject nobody is discussing—How could a dictator take control of the United States of America?

– – –

Will widespread hunger trigger dictatorship?

Hunger is the result of dictatorship.

– – –

Will invasion trigger dictatorship?

It depends on how fast the dictator makes his move.

Invasion is unnecessary—the current dictator-in-progress may surrender to avoid invasion.

– – –

Will infrastructure failure trigger dictatorship?

All bets are off on this one—depends on the motive and the timing of an EMP or hacking the grid.

Such a failure will have no winners—everyone dead—only natural resources left, free for the taking—very difficult wilderness, like 400 years ago.

– – –

To the above questions—maybe—but these could happen without a dictatorship.

So, what will trigger a U.S. dictatorship?

Debt is the one thing that only a dictatorship can deal with.

We have heard for a long time that it is “impossible to pay” our national debt.

Those racking up more debt don’t plan on paying back the debt.

– – –

So how does a dictator deal with impossible national debt?

1-Enslave the people.

2-Confiscate all assets—money, property, production, freedom.

3-Starting with the military, cancel all domestic resistance.

4-Universal poverty (overnight) leaves domestic creditors with no power to demand payment.

5-Universal poverty (overnight) leaves foreign creditors with nothing to go after for payment.

– – –

Then, debt is covered by “What difference does it make now, anyway?”

– – –

But, this is America—it can’t happen here.

Oh, now you think American exceptionalism will revive?

It did revive from 2017-2020.

It was killed in 2021.

– – –

USA—welcome to historical dictatorial reality.

And this time, no Allied Forces in the world are available and willing to save the day, save the world, save freedom.

– – –

T E X A S , where are you, NOW?

Texas can’t save America—stop trying (in Washington) ! ! !

But, Texas can save freedom—for Texans—and others (but only those willing to become Texans).

TURTLES – – – AMERICANS

April 15, 2021 By Leave a Comment

“I like how slow they move, because it doesn’t stop them from getting somewhere.”

“They [baby turtles crossing the beach to the ocean] can only hide for so long. Sooner or later they have to start living.”—–from Retreat To Paradise movie

They [Americans] can only hide for so long. Sooner or later they have to start living.
