ENVIRONMENTALISM – – – UP IN FLAMES

+Why so many fires in California?

+Is there any solution?

+How about prevention?

– – –

Maybe it’s time for an old-fashioned ‘fire prevention week’ with kids creating posters.

Maybe they could come up with the obvious solutions that ‘environmentalist agenda’ people don’t want to consider.

– – –

“Why so many fires in California?”

Because there is so much that can burn so close to powerlines and homes.

– – –

“Is there any solution?”

No quick fix for the fires burning now and starting now.

– – –

“How about prevention?”

Yes.

Fire prevention, no-brainer—clear brush under powerlines, so winds can’t start a fire there—clear brush to create fire breaks to protect residential/business areas—harvest trees for lumber with a plan that sustains the forest and reduces the enormous waste when it goes up in flames, out of control.

– – –

Just as we take steps to make deadly highway intersections safer, likewise there are cost-effective solutions to the deadly fires.

 

FROM “FUNDAMENTALLY TRANSFORMING AMERICA” – – – TO . . .

. . . TO FUNDAMENTALLY FINISHING OFF AMERICA.

That was the intent—the assumed ‘done deal’—that was thwarted in the last presidential election.

That remains the passionate intent of all those who lost in that election.

The frenzied flailing against everything that made America great, confirms the completed title above.

I plead for prayer for America more than ever.

 

I heard David Limbaugh talking about his new book, GUILTY BY REASON OF INSANITY.

I recommend it.

SUNRISE – – – RARE – – – ONLY ONCE

Declare to yourself a new appreciation for this new day.

Declare to God a new thanks in awe for this new day.

The sunrise today is very rare—the sun comes up only once today.

Today is a very rare day—there is only one ‘today.’

Something so rare—one-of-a-kind—is extremely valuable.

Today is more valuable than any other day of your life.

Why?

Because this is the day that the Lord has made—for you.

He does not promise another one.

Maybe someone reading this—maybe the person writing this—will catch a glimpse of inspiration, of rejoicing in this day, of trusting the One Who gave it.

Today is the only chance we have to “be glad in it.”

INFANT BAPTISM – – – ? GUARANTEE ?

Infant baptism sends more people to hell than heaven.

– – –

Some professional survey organization should track statistics of infant baptized people, and how many lived for Jesus till they died.

– – –

The giveaway church practice that prompts and proves the opening statement above is this:

Every church that baptized someone as an infant will blanketly declare at their funeral that the person is in heaven because the church administered that baptism.

– – –

That funeral statement not only declares church authority to guarantee heaven by their ritual, but also gives false hope to all in the audience if they do what that church says—it’s not really about a personal decision to follow Jesus.

That gets tacked on a dozen years after baptism, hopefully.

– – –

But if the person in the casket stuck with the church enough to qualify for the church funeral, then they probably stuck with the church long enough to do the second routine ritual—‘reaffirmation’ confirmation—at 12 years or so, like everybody else (good church members).

And that will also be declared publicly at the funeral, as further guarantee of heaven.

– – –

If the church says you’re in heaven, you’re in ? ? ?

HEARTWARMING ACCEPTANCE

I am blessed with friends who are comfortable around me—being me.

And I am blessed with an overwhelming number of total strangers who greet me cheerfully with warm, spontaneous acceptance just like I am.

I so appreciate being myself with nothing to prove or perform for that acceptance.

I think I’ll go with that.

? COMEBACK AFTER COMPROMISE ?

Can a person have a comeback and return to the narrow road after compromising to fit in with the Godless culture and appease its leaders?

Can a company have a comeback and return to the narrow road after compromising to fit in with the Godless culture and appease its leaders?

Not likely.

 

The cost is great for standing on Biblical values and standing up for them publicly now in sodomized America.

This is true for individuals and for companies—and companies are led by individuals.

 

The leaders of Chik-fil-A took a lot of heat for standing on Biblical values, and for stating so publicly.

But that will be nothing compared to the increased heat, the pounding, they will now face from the Godless culture leaders after their compromise this week.

AND, even that will be nothing compared to the persecution they will experience if they come back to the Bible, and declare it publicly, like they did before.

But they will again have God’s approval, God’s smile, and the overwhelming support of Christians who created the long lines at Chik-fil-A in the first place—an ongoing trademark at their restaurants.

 

Just how does this apply to the rest of us?

That depends on whether we follow Jesus and His Word?

“All who live Godly in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution.”

“Do not think it strange concerning the fiery trial which is going to try you.”

 

So, “Choose this day whom you will serve.”

“CAST ALL YOUR CARES . . .”

“Cast all your cares upon Him, for He cares for you.”

That verse always sounded like a peaceful prayer, quietly relaxing to show that you are turning everything over to God.

Maybe so, but that doesn’t fit my reality very often.  It seems like another requirement to get in just the right faith mode before God, so you can show you’ve let your troubles go.

More likely—a desperate scream for help at wits end does the job better.

“GOD HELP!”

“I CAN’T DO THIS!”

Not pretty—not to show others we got it all together.

Brutal honesty—total dependency—so God can take over.

SWEET, SWEET TIME WITH JESUS

If you’ve ever had a warm, special interaction with your child on your lap, and then noticed the precious one was asleep, then you can catch what a sweet, sweet time with Jesus is like.

If you fall asleep talking with Jesus (praying and reading your Bible), you’ve experienced the best of the best here on earth.

The Result—Tyranny—(un)intended consequences

“GOD BLESS AMERICA”

God bless America, land that I love.

Stand beside her, and guide her

Through this night with a light from above.

 

From the mountains, to the prairies,

To the oceans white with foam,

God bless America, my home sweet home (temporarily).
