Political—Cultural

U.S.S.A.

I wrote this in a note on my phone four years ago, about the future.
I just re-read it and decided to post it now, word for word.

– – –

Joe Biden or Kamala Harris will never be president of The United States of America.
That would be like the devil being pastor of a Christian Church.
That has been tried before, like the person running for senate from Georgia—not a Christian pastor !

If Biden or Harris were to be president, it would no longer be of the USA, but the USSA—United Socialist States of America.
The two countries could not possibly be more different, complete irreconcilable opposites.

WHY DID YOU JUST NOW SAY “TRINITY” ?

May 9, 2024 By Larry Michalk Leave a Comment

Every time I hear a preacher or Bible teacher say “trinity” in the middle of a sentence, I want to ask some questions.

Did you consciously say “trinity”, on purpose, with a purpose ?

So, why did you say “trinity” ?

Did you ever stop to think about why you said “trinity” ?

What did saying “trinity” add to your message ?

What difference did it make to you when you said “trinity” ?

What difference did it make to your listeners when you said “trinity” ?

Do your listeners know what you mean when you say “trinity” ?

What if your listeners asked what you mean when you say “trinity” ?

Have you ever explained “trinity” when you said it ?

How many ways have people explained “trinity” ?
(over thirty million different attempts listed on the internet, and counting)

– – –

Who tells you to say “trinity” in your message ?

What if you did not say “trinity” ?

Would your listeners lose anything in their relationship with Jesus if you did not say “trinity” ?

– – –

I am so tempted to answer these questions, but some theologians need to think about “Why say ‘trinity?'”

D E I – – – DO WE KNOW BETTER NOW ?

May 1, 2024 By Larry Michalk Leave a Comment

The rapid-fire volley of new stuff, new ideas, new science, new religion, new crises, new mandates, new problems, new ‘solutions’, new education, new government, in recent years, pressures us to go along with—accept, endorse—all the latest, and apologize for everything that we hold dear, and that holds us together.

Ideas get recycled.

From the original wanna-be master of the universe, the first successful propaganda, “Did God Really Say, ‘Don’t eat that.’ ?”
It still works for him, and for all the willing cohorts who can’t submit to God, and serve the devil.

New methods accomplish the same old goals.

Distract/fool people to focus on the latest ideas/trends, while behind-the-scenes leaders try again to take over and rule the world.
Tried before throughout history.
Many failed.
Some succeeded.
This time looks like The Big One, with so many new devices to control the people, by fear, by threats, by canceling daily functions to stay alive—for anyone who does not comply.

GOD – – – _OR_ – – – EVOLUTION

God – – – _OR_ – – – evolution ?

Don’t ever think for a moment, or try, to combine the two.

A little God, and a little evolution ?

God will have none of that.

“Know that the Lord, He is God.
It is He Who has made us, and not we ourselves.”

TEST – STRETCH – STRENGTHEN

April 13, 2024 By Larry Michalk 2 Comments

After your faith has been Tested, Stretched, Strengthened,
Then . . .
Comfort Others.

But don’t worry in the middle of a storm, “What do I have to do to use this for helping others ?”

Don’t worry about ‘why?’ in search of meaning for the current trouble.
Go ahead and ask ‘why?’ when you feel it, then set it on the shelf of His promises.

Answers to ‘why?’ may come later, maybe much later, but don’t miss what God is doing now (when you can’t explain it).

Try to not jump to the end of the matter, when you’ll see how God uses it for others.
If you try to verbalize and explain to others right away what God is doing, you may miss much of God’s purpose in your discomfort, in the ambiguities, in the painful times of life.

“Be still, . . .”
Accept “I don’t know.”
Accept “I don’t have a clue.”

If your personality type is achiever—figure it out, fix it yourself—remember God’s desire is to refine, remove, reshape you in ways you can’t see as long as you are ‘taking care of things’.

“And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast.”

“He comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God.”

#5 DANGERS IN CHRISTIANITY

April 13, 2024 By Larry Michalk Leave a Comment

The most dangerous oxymoron in Christianity is FINANCIAL SECURITY.

“Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal;but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.”

#4 DANGERS IN CHRISTIANITY

The most dangerous financial status in Christianity is WANTING TO BE RICH.

“Those who will (want to) be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition.”

#3 DANGERS IN CHRISTIANITY

The most dangerous place to be a Christian is AMERICA.

“Because you say, ‘I am rich, and have become wealthy, and have need of nothing’—and do not know that you are wretched, miserable, poor, blind, and naked.”
