WORDS, WORDS, WORDS – – – AND ‘THE WORD’

January 21, 2021 By Leave a Comment

Are we so accustomed to saying words, and even quoting the Word, like we know we’re supposed to—that we fail to find the fresh application of the Word of God to the dark days ahead.

What is coming is so foreign to us that all our easy answers for easy times, may fail many of us in sudden hard times.

For many centuries the church withheld the Bible from the common people. When they lost that grip of control, the Reformation transformed the people and transformed the world—because they read God’s Word for themselves.

Today the church has withheld from the people the hard parts of the Christian life, presented and promised throughout the Bible.

Persecution is not popular.

We can no longer expect a pass.

We will see the only path to power.

We will be driven to the Word when the rest is burned away.

SECURITY ? – – – OR A STATEMENT ?

January 21, 2021 By Leave a Comment

The phenomenal show of security in force at the inauguration in Washington was far in excess of necessary.

The reports say the city barricaded with concrete and barbed wire looked more like a communist takeover than a peaceful transfer of power in America.

I see the show to be another organized statement repeating the narrative that conservative Trump followers are the greatest terrorist threat.

And, for those who can look at January 20 with the perspective of history, the show of force by the government (25,000 troops) without the show of force by the people (no citizens), is a frightening forecast of the future of America.

SECOND AMENDMENT – – – THEN AND NOW

January 21, 2021 By Leave a Comment

If American Patriots held the same reservations we have today about acting on the second amendment, before they had the second amendment, we would not have The United States of America.

And, our universal hesitation to actually use the second amendment as intended, will cost us The United States of America today.

We now have the wayward government for which they provided us the second amendment, and we have no intentions, or even know how, to use it to stop the government.

And, we now have no leader ready to risk all for the cause—or do we?

Time is short—time is running out—‘too soon to act’ is turning into ‘too late to act.’
