REFUGEES – – – NOT US
October 20, 2015 By Leave a Comment
If the leader of your country surrenders to your known enemies, and invites them to invade your country, then you must prepare to become refugees in your own country and fight for your life—for your very survival.
Americans cannot relate to being refugees, except for pictures on their screens, from somewhere else in the world.
And so, Americans are not getting ready.
GET REAL

It is not our job, nor is it safe, to participate in games of phony cordiality to ease other people’s consciences without repentance.
MY DEFINITION OF LEADERSHIP —–BHOB*
October 13, 2015 By Leave a Comment
This morning I heard BHOB* give away his creed, his credentials, and his credibility—all in one fell swoop.
He said, “Putin does not know what he is doing in Syria. He’s not leading. My leadership is leading against global warming.”
I DON’T EVER AGAIN WANT TO HEAR ANY COMMENTATOR CALL THIS ENEMY OF AMERICA OUR LEADER.
*BHOB—Barack Hussein OBama—Say BHHHOB aloud and it sounds like the warning for Christians in the 2008 election: “Beware of sheep’s clothing.”
“WE WHO CARE”
October 13, 2015 By Leave a Comment
In my first two years of college, when Concordia in Austin, Texas was very small, we had a campus organization called “We Who Care”.
Students volunteered to help all kinds of people—old folks, mentally disabled, kids in need of a friend.
And we did it for Jesus, because He said, “Whatever you do for the least of these, you do it for Me.”
Question: Who Cares?
Question: Who Can Care?
Question: Who Can Make a Difference?
Only people can care and make a difference in other people’s lives. Be ready to respond to a need, and do it. It is that simple.
Please know that governments cannot care about anything but the government. Government welfare is about the welfare of the government getting bigger.
Government does its God-given job* only when the people limit government power.
When people forget that government is their servant, they soon become its slaves.
Back to the title:
We are the ones who care about others.
We are the ones who take care of others.
And, Christians are the ones who care because Jesus cares about us.
*Government is made by God to punish bad guys who do bad, and praise good guys who do good. —–His Book
ARE YOU A CHRISTIAN? ARE YOU READY?

“Are you a Christian?”
“Are you ready, if you say ‘Yes’?”
If a gun is pointed to your head, or if a knife is held at your throat, or if someone asks if you’re a Christian without threatening you, you might ask the person if he knows what it means to be a Christian.
You may never know if you may be the last person to tell someone about Jesus, and how trusting in Him is the only way to heaven.
If you are a Christian, ask God every day to arrange opportunities to speak about “the one thing needful”—that is, sharing a word from His Book.

THIS WEEK’S SCHOOL SHOOTING(S) . . .
October 11, 2015 By Leave a Comment
This week’s school shooting(s) brought to you by BHOB* and company for gun control.
Well, we may not have actually arranged it, but we’re certainly not going to let the tragedy be wasted without jumping in with our agenda.
He said, “Yes, it should be politicized.”
I say: How criminal can you get, BHOB*?
It seems the world is going mad, and the mad dictator in Washington is cheering on the insanity, and pushing America over the cliff.
I don’t know what’s going to happen next, but thank God for the people in Oregon for saying “No thank you, BHOB*—leave us alone.”
Just think what life in America could be like again if BHOB* and company left all of us alone.

America glorifies murder and violence on the screen—yet we decry killing when it spills over onto the news in real life.
America perpetuates the murder of babies—yet we exonerate and pay those who do the killing.
America makes a deal that leaves American Christians in Iranian prisons—yet makes a big deal trade for an American traitor.
American leaders advocate taking guns from Americans—yet endorse giving bombs to Iranians.
America knows our enemies can easily plunge us back 200 years instantly with assorted weapons on our infrastructure—yet we continue to live with total dependence on all our electronic technology going on forever.
America is racing to doomsday—yet we can’t get off.
America cozies up to the deadly vipers of terrorism—yet we turn our back on Israel in dead silence, in fatal silence, fatal to them and us, in spite of warnings from their leader before the whole world.
America fears the collapse of our fragile finances—yet we steadfastly stick to stashing our resources and hopes in the kingdom of Babylon.
American Christians will not repent of our sins in synch with Sodom—yet we broadcast cries for revival without “bringing fruit demonstrating repentance”.
In America, how many Christians today, right now, are changing their ways, sacrificing to the point of discomfort, to the point of suffering, by choice, to get right with God, to meet all the requirements of II Chronicles 7:14?
In America, until we who name the name of Jesus, see and turn from wicked ways in ourselves, individually and as His people together, God will continue to not hear, not forgive, not heal our land.
In America, the number one Biblical indictment of the church today is, “He went away sad, because he had great possessions”. I have heard that real life story waved off by American church leaders for decades, with “Jesus isn’t really saying WE should sell everything and give it to the poor and follow Him (just the one guy He was talking to then)”. How will we fare when it is taken away from us by force, by government, by collapse, by terrorism?
In America, financial advice given to American Christians does not apply to anyone without a portfolio or to Christians around the world. So, who is out of the will of God, clearly and repeatedly laid out in the Bible?
America has been the exception to the rule historically, clearly blessed by God, because we trusted Him and declared that trust publicly.
America will not be the exception to the rule historically as justified judgment falls on a nation that forgets God.
And, the unrepentant church will not be exempt.
“Be not deceived; God is not mocked.
Whatever a man (or nation) sows, that shall he also reap.”
“The wicked shall be turned into hell;
And all the nations that forget God.”
Better to sound the severe warnings of God while we have freedom.
Better to repent while we have time.
Busy, Busy, Busy
Each of us is so busy it becomes an end in itself to keep everything spinning in our own world—no time to stop and pray and read our Bibles, and let God examine our hearts and turn us.
“Be Still, And Know That I AM God.”
