SAFE SEX – – – SAFE SIN

1 – If you don’t get in trouble . . .
2 – If you get away with it . . .
3 – If nobody knows . . .
4 – If you don’t hurt anyone . . .
5 – If nobody criticized or condemned you . . .
6 – If you think it’s okay . . .
7 – If ‘friends’ think it’s okay . . .
8 – If you repeated (and repeated) . . . and nothing happened . . .
9 – If God didn’t send lightning bolts or other judgment . . .
– – –
10 – If all the above—
Then you must have had safe sex.
– – –
Did you have safe sex ?
– – –
– – –
BUT . . .
THEN . . .
THEREFORE . . .
Did you have safe sin ?

If all ten “Ifs . . .” are indeed your experience, add one three-letter word—
IF nothing happened, IF no judgment . . . Y E T !

Perhaps you are the person who waves off, laughs off, any negatives from your lifestyle.
Perhaps you will read what is next anyway.
Perhaps it will start a crack in your sealed wall, which is actually your prison.
Perhaps not.

Perhaps you are aware of, and may be experiencing some of, ‘the rest of the story’ with “. . . YET”.

Are you waiting for some of the consequences to get stronger, some of God’s judgments to get stronger, to get your attention sufficiently, to change ?

WHAT ARE WE THINKING ?

October 18, 2023 By Leave a Comment

America, what are we thinking now ?
America, what are we going to do ?

It seems that no one knows what to do.
When I ask any of my acquaintances what they think is going to happen and what we should do, they all say they’ll wait and see what happens and deal with it—the idea that that’s all we can do.
And that is one step short of surrender.

– – –

– – –

Here is where America and Americans are now:

We are sitting and waiting for something to happen.

We are scared to death, or blind to what may be about to happen.

– – –

+++ And happen it will, in a hundred locations across this country, simultaneously, on the order of the attack on Israel !
We are already incapacitated—in leadership and as individual citizens—nothing is being done to get ready, or prevent, what is certainly about to happen—NOTHING !

+++ AND HAPPEN IT HAS ALREADY, all over this country, from the White House and Congress, to city councils and school boards, to preachers and churches, to Christians and conservatives—too busy or too comfortable to sacrifice for the price of freedom.
THE REAL COST OF PRESERVING FREEDOM, THE COST OF RESTORING OUR FREEDOM, IS NOW FAR GREATER THAN THE COST OF GAINING OUR FREEDOM 245 YEARS AGO.
Just exactly what was that cost then ?
Just exactly what does that cost look like now ?

In all reality, is that possible ?
In all reality, is that going to happen ?

If that is going to happen, what do we have to do ?
If that is not going to happen, and history repeats, what should we do to get ready ?

– – –

Everyone gives the obvious roadblocks, the dead ends, the futility, the repercussions of any action we might take as citizens.
We’ve become so accustomed to leaving freedom-fighting up to the government, that we don’t know what to do about the impotence of our representatives and senators, and the hell-bent destruction of the country underway throughout the executive (start listing the departments under the administration, and see how they altogether control the intentional demise of America).

– – –

– – –

I’m getting more frustrated in my writing—repeating—repeating that nothing, NOTHING is stopping the incremental destruction underway, setting us up for the ‘? SURPRISE ?’ attack in America.
It will be like the attack on Israel, in proportion to our population, and
? ? ? NO ONE SAW IT COMING ? ? ?

You’ve got to be kidding ! ! ! ! !

“JUST A DELIVERY BOY . . .”

Don’t agonize over Bible passages that are unpopular, that go against the current tide—give the message anyway.

CHI-COMS’ WORD TO DEMS

CHINESE COMMUNISTS’ WORD TO AMERICA’S DEMOCRATS

(secret message—not so secret anymore)

This was written almost four years ago, never posted.
– – –
Since we have a common enemy in Donald Trump,
Since his efforts have hurt us,
Since your efforts to take him out have failed so far,
Since your last major option to take him out before November is an economic disaster,
Since you have been powerless to curb his economic boom,

We would be more than happy to help you take Trump out by killing your economy.
In China we don’t care how many people get hurt in order to advance our policies.
In America we know you don’t care how many people get hurt in order to advance your policies.
So, we have introduced a crisis that will quickly spread worldwide, including America, with a built-in camouflage to not identify intent.
We know we can count on you and your media to join us in blaming Trump, and fanning the fear and panic that will crumble your economy from within.

Corona Virus—The Perfect Storm—for you, and for us.

GOD

GOD—
NO DEBATE
NO CHANGES
NO ADDITIONS
NO DELETIONS

GOD’S WORD—
NO DEBATE
NO CHANGES
NO ADDITIONS
NO DELETIONS

God came to us, as one of us, so we could relate to Him—but on His terms, not ours.
God told us everything we need to know about Him—in the Bible—in creation—in our conscience.
Man instinctively tries to shape God into something like us—never works !

TRICKS PLAYED ON SENIORS

October 11, 2023 By Leave a Comment

From humorous to—not so much.

+ When you come out of a store to the parking lot, someone moved your car.

+ People talk . . .

+ People don’t understand . . .

+ People WILL NOT talk loud enough for you to understand them.

+ People move your stuff.

+ People always say you’re the one who can’t remember correctly.

+ People talk about you without including you in the conversation.

+ People will really talk about you if you get very sick, and you will feel worse, literally.

+ People can (in extreme cases) make you feel like vultures are circling over a weakened animal, when you get old and feeble and unstable, and it hastens losing your mind. (Be thankful if you never experience that.)

QUARANTINE – – – IN HELL ? – – – IN HEAVEN ?

October 11, 2023 By Leave a Comment

Quarantine forever—where do you want to be ?
– – –
In hell he lifted up his eyes to Abraham in Paradise and cried out for a drop of water for the torment in the flames.
Abraham answered that there was a barrier preventing any passing between heaven and hell — QUARANTINE ! ! ! — PERMANENT ! ! !
– – –
The guy in hell then pleaded for someone to come back from the dead and warn his brothers headed for hell.
Abraham said, “Can’t do—besides, it wouldn’t do any good, if they all ignore the Bible (like you did)”.
That fixes a permanent quarantine to not return from the dead and inspire people.
That cancels a lot of popular movies and stories that feel so good.
– – –
Jesus told that story—you might ought to check in with Him, like now ! ! !
I wouldn’t put it off another day.
You don’t want to be the guy in the story, or one of his brothers.
(Unless of course you think Jesus is a crazy liar.)

THE WORST KIND OF HIDING

October 11, 2023 By Leave a Comment

“When the wicked rise to power, righteous people go into hiding.”

It could also be said (in America in recent years) that when the righteous (Christians) go into hiding, the wicked rise to power.
But, you say, we are not hiding—we still go to church and worship openly—even leaders on the other side say we have freedom of worship.
– – –
The worst kind of hiding for Christians in America that has been going on for decades is satisfaction with business as usual.
The most dangerous, most perilous place for Christians is comfortable–getting along, fitting in, included, and inclusive.
Ask yourself, “Am I living, ‘called by Jesus’, daily, to make a difference—or—fitting Jesus into the successful life I have chosen in this prosperity-blessed country?”
– – –
Perhaps a little play with words can help get someone’s attention.

Compatibility with the culture has canceled Christians’ countering corruption and countless calamities around us, and in our churches.
