Making a Difference in your Life, in the Parts that are for Keeps!
I heard today that the Ten Commandments are posted for visitors to see at Auschwitz.
Over four decades ago the U.S. Supreme Court declared the Ten Commandments forbidden in American public schools, because “. . . children might see them and read them and obey them [do what they say].”
I hesitate to comment, because the effects in history and the present are so obvious.
Why are we so bent on repeating the evil, when we have such a time-tested blueprint for the good?
The Statue of Liberty inscription invites those “yearning to breathe free,” looking for a better life, to the land of opportunity—America.
“Our Statue of Liberty does not say, ‘Give me your moochers.'”—–James Dobson
Socialism depends on capitalism to get started, to get born.
Socialism depends on human nature’s tendency to repeat history.
Socialism depends on the failure of memory that socialism never works for the people.
Socialism depends on human nature of greed, to breed unrest when some people see others making more money through capitalism.
Socialism depends on broadcasting the new* idea that government has the ability and the responsibility to equalize income for all people.
Socialism depends on the wealth created by incentives of capitalism to get people who did not create the wealth to believe they should have it.
Socialism depends on capitalism to get started, to get born—then it depends on tyranny to continue, to grow.
When the wealth created by capitalism is consumed through forced redistribution by the government, motivation to succeed is killed and production crashes.
Enter tyranny—forced production—motivation by fear.
Promise of economic equality is indeed realized—everybody has less, except for those who made the promises and gained the power.
Socialism summarized, in America:
When socialism creates “equality” in America, the IRS tax form becomes very simple.
“How much did you make? _______ Send it in.”
*New because a generation grows up without the perspective of history.
I just heard on afr that facebook has blocked over 90% of ads by conservative candidates.
Mainstream media and social media have superseded the judicial branch, in power.
American Family Radio may be the only source to GET IT RIGHT.
I always told my children:
“We are influenced by everything we expose ourselves to; and we are influenced to the degree of exposure. There is no such thing as ‘I can handle it—it won’t affect me.'”
If Christians never hear the Biblical perspective on today’s issues, we will lose the Christian perspective, and more.
*alternate title: WHO IS RUINING THE COUNTRY?
How does a nation die?
How have nations died in the past?
Two ways:
By themselves, from within—or—with outside help.
How about America?
We were saved from the brink in the 1860’s, thanks in large part to Abraham Lincoln.
We are in grave danger today—we must save this country again!
Be sure to watch “DEATH OF A NATION” in theaters now.
+LEVEL is not a range.
+OBEDIENCE is not a range.
+TIMING OF OBEDIENCE is not a range.
+TRUTH is not a range.
+GOD is not a range.
+LIFE is not a buffet.
At the end of life, you find that there were only two items on the menu—and you find out if you picked the right one.
F R E E D O M
Physical Freedom
Political Freedom
Economic Freedom
Religious Freedom
Moral Freedom
Spiritual Freedom
I give you a universal guideline and encouragement for securing freedom, guarding and keeping it, and fighting off any who would threaten to ensnare and enslave you, from the only source of true freedom.
“For freedom Christ has set you free—do not let anyone bring you again under any yoke of bondage.”
“If Christ has set you free, you are free indeed.”
Every person and every nation that rose to freedom started from great bondage, to great faith, to great courage, to great boldness, to great strength, to great freedom, to great blessings . . .
And then, the second half of the verse above becomes so significant—great blessings include great prosperity, to great comfort, to great materialism, to great selfishness, to great apathy, to great vulnerability, to great seduction, to great apostasy, to great temptation, to great pleasure, to great sin, to great judgment, to great oppression, to great bondage again.
“Eternal vigilance is the price of freedom.”
“We gave you a republic, if you can keep it.”
“Our liberty is always only one generation away from extinction.”
There is more, later, but consider how all the freedoms partially listed above have been so gloriously enjoyed in America—and precisely because we made the connection that they all come from God.
It is that simple.
It is truth—no matter what we’ve gone through in the past, and are going through now.
Please, Americans, do not throw it all away for some reckless frenzy from those who don’t know God and despise the name of Jesus in the public square.
To start the United States of America, Christians got involved completely, in everything, with everything they had.
We can do no less, against all enemies, foreign and domestic and those inside each of us whispering lies to make us less than bold.
[somewhat cryptic in places]
The Emperor Has No Clothes.
No one seems to see the obvious.
Except one remaining innocent child.
The rest, adults and children alike, have been swamped with indoctrination, brainwashing.
What do emus, ostriches, and lgbt have in common?
Entire manufactured industry—self-perpetuating by the hype and promises and advertising—no sustaining substance in reality—many get hurt, ruined.
(At least pet rocks were relatively harmless—how about marketing dehydrated water, for the prepper who has everything.)
Perspective!
Funny? or Fatal? for individuals and for countries.
Definitely not “progressive.”
Claiming “rights” never changes wrong into right.
Satan’s first line in the Garden of Eden, “Did God really say?”
He’s been recycling the same old line—same old results.
God Said It.
I Believe It.
That Settles It.
Not So—That leaves nothing settled, based on whether I believe it or not.
God Said It.
THAT Settles It.
Will I open my eyes and believe it and obey.
After 911, churches were full—for a short time.
Then we recovered—from both 911 and full churches.
America got back on our feet—and we didn’t need God so much anymore.
Congress sang “God Bless America” on the Capital steps—then the Democrat convention booed God, loudly.
The economy had a heart attack in 2008—and some reconsidered the “security” piled in their retirement savings portfolio.
Then experts and financial advisors figured out how to “fix” it and “prevent” it and make people believe it so we can’t get hurt again—and everybody jumped back into the American retirement dream.
Hard Times—Need God.
Good Times—Not So Much.
In God We Trust—God Bless America.
Undeniable ?
Or perhaps, more accurately:
In God We Trusted—God Blessed America.
Indisputable!
What about today?
Economy up, way up—Churches falling over each other like dominoes, waffling before the twisted distortions of lgbt, immigration, social pressure, and watering down the Word of God.
I say again, “It will get harder to be a Christian in America—but it will become easier to tell who is a Christian.”
Do you want to be one of God’s children?
—“If anyone will come after me, let him deny himself, take up his cross, and follow me.”
Have you decided to follow Jesus?
—“No turning back. No turning back.”
If you decided to follow Jesus, then what?
—“Work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.”
If you follow Jesus, what changes should you expect?
—“All who live Godly in Christ will suffer persecution.”
Will you be at risk of persecution?
—“You shall be hated of all nations for my name’s sake.” —Jesus
Is it good if people hate you because you are a Christian?
—“Blessed are you, when men revile you, and persecute you, and say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.”
Can you imagine joy in persecution?
—“Rejoice, and be exceeding glad; for great is your reward in heaven; for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you.”
What evidence is there, that you would be declared guilty of being a Christian?
—“You are the salt of the earth [makes people thirsty for Jesus].”
—“You are the light of the world [people see Jesus in you].”
What if you were arrested for your faith?
—“And when they bring you before the religious institutions, and authorities, and powers that be, take no thought about how or what you will answer, or what you will say; for the Holy Spirit will teach you in the same hour what you should say.”
