THE PROBLEM WITH MIRACLES

May 31, 2015 By Leave a Comment

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.

HILLARY IS STILL WORKING FOR BHOB*

May 29, 2015 By Leave a Comment

And all the news commentators are working for BHOB*.

Every minute spent devouring the Clinton scandals (or the fill-in-the-blank scandals) is the perfect, current distraction, diverting attention from BHOB*’s continuing nonstop agenda destroying America.

If the job description, and the job security, of talk show hosts is to talk, then keep on talking—playing BHOB*’s fiddle.

If anyone in that position feels a calling to stop BHOB* and save America, then you can never again be content to just report the latest wrecking ball on our freedoms.

Why doesn’t anybody tell us how to actually stop BHOB*?

Because nobody knows how to stop BHOB*!!!

Because everybody is afraid to stop BHOB*!!!

Everybody is busy, busy, busy claiming they are doing something to stop BHOB*.

Somebody show me one thing that is working to stop BHOB*.

We all get up and try to go to work until the day we can’t—because BHOB* changed America—because nobody stopped BHOB*.

GOD HELP US NOW!

I REPEAT – – – I REPEAT – – – I RE . . .

When will the commentators of America stop spending your precious few remaining hours of free speech complaining about BHOB* not acting like the President and not taking steps to save America like the President is supposed to.

 

HE’S NOT GOING TO!

HE’S NOT OUR PRESIDENT!

HE’S OUR ENEMIES’ ADVOCATE!

HE’S OUR DICTATOR!

 

START TALKING FROM THAT TRUTH PERSPECTIVE! (in every broadcast, in every article)

 

Will all of you with an audience say something that actually makes a difference?

 

Tell us, if you can, what we can do that will actually make a difference.

 

I am as frustrated as you, searching for answers, searching for direction, searching for leadership.

 

Before the 2008 election, I attempted a political cartoon, but I had no audience other than sending out a hundred emails.

 

The cartoon had two frames, each showing a train—“BHOB* CAMPAIGN EXPRESS”—barreling down the track to the station ahead—November Election.

 

The first frame showed individuals and organizations beside the tracks, holding signs protesting the fallacies and lies and dangers hidden on the train.

The second frame showed the same individuals and organizations with the same signs, but they had thrown down their signs.

Instead, they were on the tracks in front of the train, pulling spikes out of the track to derail it.

 

We know where the individuals and organizations in the first frame are today.

They are holding up bigger protest signs, beside the tracks bringing trains with tanks and guns and bullets.

And some of the camouflage is blowing off the trains.

But the trains are not slowing down.

 

We don’t know where the individuals and organizations in the second frame are today.

Disappearing?

Hiding?

Waiting to take one last shot when ISIS shows up at their doorstep?

 

 

Let me try putting it this way:

Do you believe ISIS is here, by multiple invitations from the one in the White House?

Report and comment accordingly.

Your business as usual today? – – – Small comfort tomorrow!

IRS – – – WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR ?

May 22, 2015 By Leave a Comment

The IRS certainly did not wait when they were called upon to influence and secure the election of 2012.

The IRS actively targeted numerous organizations that were in positions to inform Americans.

 

So what’s next?

And what is the IRS waiting for?

 

ONE

Some preachers are boldly challenging the prevailing idea that limits what they can preach about.

So why isn’t the IRS doing anything?

The IRS is waiting for the optimum time when they can silence the preachers all at once, with the courts hopelessly loaded for the left.

 

TWO

Organizations are signing up people in droves for contributions like Charitable Gift Annuities, “while there remains a window of opportunity in the tax laws”.

So why isn’t the IRS doing anything?

The IRS is waiting for the optimum time when they can seize the greatest amount of money as they take over these organizations that have neatly gathered the money for them.

 

If we haven’t stopped BHOB* yet . . .

If we don’t stop BHOB* now . . .

Then BHOB* will stop at nothing—count on it!

AMERICA – – – FOR AMERICANS !

May 18, 2015 By Leave a Comment

America—everyone is welcome to come here—you just have to become an American.

 

What is an American?

An American believes in

– – – The CONSTITUTION

– – – LIFE

– – – FREEDOM

– – – WORK

– – – GOVERNMENT

An American accepts and practices what the CONSTITUTION says.

An American acknowledges that God the Creator created us equal.

An American acknowledges that God the Creator gave us rights, permanently.

 

An American believes in the right to LIFE, in the Constitution—that means the right for innocents to not be killed at any age.

 

An American believes in the right to LIBERTY, in the Constitution—that means the right to live free or die.

 

An American believes in the right to pursue happiness, in the Constitution—that means the right to WORK to provide for family.

 

An American believes in GOVERNMENT, in the Constitution—that means

– – – “provide for the common defense” (peace through strength)

– – – “promote the general welfare” (let Americans care for Americans)

– – – “secure the blessings of liberty” (keep freedom, keep faith, keep flourishing)

 

What happened to America?

What happened to Americans?

 

I just had to say the obvious, because the real America still burns in the soul of real Americans.  Nothing else will do.

GOD, WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?

May 8, 2015 By 1 Comment

(continued from yesterday)

I am personally blessed with a spiritual heritage—indeed a legacy—which I had no part in making.

+  My mom was the faithful, hard working Proverbs 31 woman.  My dad had that chapter read at her funeral, so he got it.

+  My dad put hundreds of Bible verses in my head, and heart, through no effort of my own.  And the convictions that go with them are now imbedded in me—especially the convictions that let to his martyrdom thirty years ago, a hundred yards from where I am writing now.

+  Christian radio has influenced me for a lifetime—more so than any other person I know.  I did not realize the discernment I was gaining from the dozen stations in over six decades.

Growing up it was KSKY 660 in Dallas, and the mega, mega station across from Del Rio in the evenings, and Billy Graham every Sunday noon after dinner on KTEM 1400 in Temple.

Then three awesome stations in South Florida for 17 years.  Now 25 years back in Texas, with KBBW 1010 and AFR and AFR talk and KLOV.

What a blessing of amazing spiritual nutrition, plus spiritual fitness training with AFR talk.

+      +      +      +      +      +

Then what?   “Unto whom much is given, much will be required.”

It is time for me to speak up, and write.

I’ve been posting articles from my convictions for four years now at AWordforThought.com, on a variety of topics.

If you are reading this somewhere else, I ask you to spend some time at the web site.

+      +      +      +      +      +

I want to specifically address one subject here that impacts all others:

REVIVAL

Revival—when it comes, it is obvious, and it changes things.

—God hears from heaven.

—God forgives our sins.

—God heals our land.

Because—God responds to our prayer, our attitude, and our action.

—We humble ourselves.

—We pray.

—We seek His face.

—We turn from our wicked ways.

 

Humility—elusive when life goes well.

Praying—strong when life gets tough.

Seeking His face—deepest when we are desperate.

Turning from our wicked ways—not so popular if anyone gets specific.

 

John the Baptist got specific and lost his head.  But Jesus called him the greatest.

Telemachus shouted “In the Name of Christ, Forbear”, and the gladiator finished him off with his sword.  But the bloody entertainment in the Coliseum stopped from that day on.

Many reformers and Bible translators gave the Bible to the common people—and burned.  (Wycliffe was so hated that they dug up his bones and burned them, because they didn’t get to burn him alive.)  But we now enjoy the Word of God that lives forever.

+      +      +      +      +      +

Today, what if the sin of God’s people, the “wicked way” that He is waiting for His people to turn from, is money in the wrong places?

What if Genesis 3:1 is at the heart of the holdup for revival in America?

“Did God really say . . . ?”

Did God really say, “Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust corrupt, and thieves break in and steal.  Do lay up treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not corrupt, and thieves do not break in and steal.  For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.”

Did God really say, “No one can serve two masters. . .  You cannot serve God and mammon (worldly gain).”

Did God really say, “Take no thought for tomorrow—what you will eat, what you will drink, what you will wear.  Your heavenly Father knows you have need of these things.  But seek first (only) the kingdom of God, and His righteousness, and all these things will be added unto you.”

Did God really say, “You say to yourself that you have much goods laid up for many years—take your ease—eat, drink, and be merry.  But God says, ‘You fool, this night your soul will be required of you. Then whose shall all these things be which you have provided?’  So is he who lays up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.”

Did God really say, “One thing you lack; go your way, sell whatever you have, and give it to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven.  And come, take up the cross, and follow me.”  The person who heard this was sad and went away grieved, because he had ‘great possessions.’

Did God really say, “Take heed, and beware of covetousness; for a person’s life does not consist in the abundance of the things he possesses.”

Did God really say, “How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God!  (Jesus disciples were astonished at his words, but Jesus repeated them.)  Children, how hard is it for those who trust in riches to enter into the kingdom of God!  It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.”

FACT—I have never heard a Christian leader address these Bible verses without a disclaimer (Did God really say?).

+      +      +      +      +      +

After the economic trouble following 2008, very briefly I heard some Christians questioning the stockpiling of treasures where moth, rust, and thieves were wiping it out.  Then everyone got smarter and started getting better advice to avoid losing the next time.

Basically, back to business as usual, counting on the American dream—at least as long as it lasts.

Are God’s people investing smarter now, or more deceived by the financial culture with promises of guaranteed income for life?

Are God’s people committed in the world’s money system too deep to get out now?

Verses on the ant and grasshopper are quoted to justify the American financial focus and fit it into the Bible.  These verses were addressed to lazy sluggards (grasshopper), calling for diligent work (ant), preparing for the certain returning seasons, not for some uncertain someday when you don’t have to work.

+      +      +      +      +      +

Does financial advice given to American Christians apply around the world?

Does financial advice given to American Christians apply to those without a portfolio for retirement?

 

We are told to SHARE SOME of our wealth with God.

We are not told to GIVE IT ALL.

When we share, we maintain control.

When we give, we lose control as soon as we give it.

+      +      +      +      +      +

And finally, two more proofs that this could be the #1 wicked way that God is waiting for His people to turn from:

+ the guaranteed vehement reaction in defense of everything financial the way Christians do it in America

+ the fear the keeps anyone from speaking out and warning Christians to get out of the financial system of Sodom

+      +      +      +      +      +

We worship with money something that is not in the Bible—retirement.

We worship with money something that God wants to provide—insurance.

WHAT IF . . . PRAYER IS NOT ENOUGH?

May 7, 2015 By Leave a Comment

What if prayer is not enough to save America?

What else does God require of His people?

What if no one is willing to preach it?

What if no one will talk about it?

What if you get in trouble?

What if you are silent?

What if I am guilty?

What if God said?

II Chron. 7:14?

DICTATORS – – – HOW DO THEY DO IT?

May 1, 2015 By Leave a Comment

CONTROL

Impatient dictators (obvious, in history, and in the news) bust in with violent force right from the start and immediately blow away everyone who resists, until they get control.  Their tyranny is obvious from the beginning.

Hitler’s blitzkrieg, ISIS and friends all over the map today.

 

Patient dictators (subtle, scheming, unopposed, in the news) take the time to do everything necessary to win and fool the people, until they get control.  Their tyranny is not obvious until it is too late.

We have a smooth, “patient” dictator in the U.S. White House.  He uses all the necessary tools effectively and simultaneously  to gain control.

 

1) Win a minority.  A dedicated few have more influence than many, because they must have passion to survive.  BHOB*’s mentors trained him well.

And what is a fanatic?  “Someone who believes in something more strongly than you do”

BHOB* believes in “fundamentally changing America”, and he’s sticking to it.  Americans believe in sports, American Idol, and retirement accounts.

2)  Win the media.  Somehow, support from the media was handed to BHOB* on a silver platter.

3)  Win the military.  I guess the culture was ripe for throwing out God and strength and decent values and patriotism from military leadership as we’ve done everywhere else.  And the commander is a coward, except for leading gay rights and race riots and Muslim celebrations.

4) Win the minds.  The thinking of Americans is so easily manipulated.  It’s never been easier for a dictator to take over.  Get used to lying leaders and you will believe anything.

5)  Maneuver the movements.  Pick a topic, and make it a movement—“hate crimes”—“thought police”—“politically correct”—“tolerance of intolerance”—“racist police”—“blame Christians”.  Condition the people, into a trap of control.

6)  Win the masses.  How?  With a morsel—food—welfare.  Done.

When I was growing up, it was the Communists out to get us.  They had a slogan that we would fall into their hands like over ripe fruit.  We have arrived.

And now it is a piece of cake, anticipated, even expected, to manipulate elections, and the crises, then save the day and start martial law.
