They Want Ultimate, Complete Control Over You And Your Choices

  Here is an excerpt from an email sent out by Marco Rubio and it summarizes many of the things I have wanted to communicate in the past, with all my writing and words!

  Here it is. The summary of all I am trying to say. Sadly, young people today have no idea what the bigger picture is concerning this battle we are in. Many of them have never been taught about Communism or Socialism in school, and even if they had been taught, it would have made Communism and Socialism look desirable, or at least 'fair' (based on some wrong assumptions).

  Communism is not a good thing. It is very bad. And if our country ever does become Communistic, the young people will just assume that it is normal. They have been lied to, and many have bought into those lies.

  One of the biggest lies is that our country is illegitimate. It is not founded upon a true value system, and therefore should be destroyed. This is false, and only takes a few factors into consideration, and makes those factors the basis of a whole belief system designed to destroy America.

   America really was founded in order to provide a safe place where people could think for themselves, and make discoveries and inventions. They could use their creations to serve other people with as well as make a living for themselves and their families. While it is true that some families migrated to America with slaves, America was not founded upon the principles of slavery. Yes, some people fought to keep their slaves. A war was fought and won to set the African American people free from their slave owners. Many were probably pretty angry when that happened, but, keep in mind that many, many people (mainly whites) fought for the slaves to become freed men.

   There were many Abolitionists who hated slavery and even took action where they could, to try to free the slaves. Some Abolitionists were former slave owners. Others kept their slaves as there was no where they could send them or release them to in order for them to survive.

   Just as many are fighting today to abolish abortion and make it illegal to kill babies, many took action to stop slavery from continuing.

   Anyway, we do not live in a slave country, no matter how hard the Left is trying to convince you that we are. The only slaves we have today are those who have been captured and brought into the sex slave trade (which is worldwide). And we are fighting against that as much as possible.

  If African Americans today were under the institution of slavery in this country, I would be out there fighting for them. But, we don't have that kind of slavery today, thank God. And I don't see African Americans being under any threat to go back to being under slavery. Not in America anyway.

   With that said, here is the excerpt from Marco Rubio:


The Democrats are out for power. They aren’t just out to increase regulations on businesses and give themselves more power. They want to control YOU.

Democrats want to make all the decisions in your life and in turn take them completely out of your hands.

They want to put you in a one-size-fits-all government-run program.

They think bureaucrats in Washington know how to run your life better than you do.

What’s even scarier, is the fact that these ideas are gaining traction. Democrats have raised hundreds of millions, and they are using their massive war chests to spread their liberal agenda....

  Yes, they have spent millions of dollars and are continuing to do this every day. They also are backed by George Soros and his ilk. 

  If Communism takes root in America, businesses will be ruined. So many regulations made by the government, and those making the regulations have no idea how businesses are to be run. 

   I should make a list of how different our country will end up if Communism takes root in this country. We can look at true History and see how Communism ruined countries in the past. 

  All your dreams and creative ideas you can throw away. The government will decide if they like what you do or not. And if you have Biblical convictions, if you hold to the Scriptures as God's holy word to us, then the government will definitely decide against you and your intentions. There's a good possibility you will end up in prison, and you will no longer own your house or property. If you live in an apartment, you will be relegated to one that the government chooses for you to live in. 

   No more individuality under a Communist rule. No more going to a grocery store and picking out food you like or use to make meals with. You will have a daily ration of food, that is, if the government likes you. If they don't like you, well, then you will be skipped for your daily ration of food. 

  Think I am joking? Talk to anyone who has lived in a Communist country. I have friends who escaped Communism and now live in America. They will tell you what it is like over there. 

Pray

* For people in America to learn 'the fear of the Lord'

* For lost people in America to have radical conversions

* For people to learn to love the truth

* For people in America to separate the truth from the lies

Once It's Destroyed, It Can Be Remade

   There are those who are asking the question, 'Don't they know that what they are doing is destructive to the foundation of our country?'. They are making the assumption that everyone who seems to be patriotic wants the best for our country. But that isn't really so.

   There are those in the upper levels of government who oppose everything the President is doing. When he makes decisions to build up the military, or to protect our country, these people focus on something other than the serious issues we need to face and work with.

   Our young people are the ones I am concerned about. They have been indoctrinated into believing lies about our country's History and foundation, and they have bought into the lies of the left.

  Make no mistake about this. The Left does not care about you. They are addicted to rage, as someone put it. They are indifferent to low unemployment. The Left is not jumping for joy because the economy is doing so well. In fact, I have seen lies even about this. I have seen articles telling of the imminent collapse of our economy. Nothing is based upon accuracy, just wishful thinking.

  The Left also is not concerned with building up the military. You have to ask the question, when someone joins the army or navy, are they fighting for the America that we know and love, or, did they join the army or navy just for the benefits with no real desire to protect freedom?

   Let's go back to the first point I made. Does the Left know that what they are doing is destructive to the foundation of our country? I believe they do know, and I also believe that what they are doing is intentional. They really do want to destroy our country. And this is the most logical way of doing this.

  This begs the next question; why would the Left want to destroy America? Simple answer; they want to destroy the America we know, simply because once they destroy it, they can remake it into a Socialistic nation.

  The devil is the god of this world. He is not the true and living God, but since the fall, he has stolen the authority over us, and he works through anyone who allows him to. So, the devil works through people in the government, many times. He will work through those, especially, who do not know the Lord Jesus Christ. The people who the devil works through, have darkened minds. They do not have the mind of Christ, nor do they have God's wisdom. They have the wisdom of the world instead. Also, they become puppets for Satan, doing his bidding. These people don't see things through spiritual eyes. They are blind to spiritual truth.

   The devil has always wanted to take freedom away from people. He knows that if he can keep people in the dark, they will not hear the Gospel message and they will not come to know the Lord Jesus Christ.

  America was founded as a free nation. Not many countries have had the kind of freedom America has experienced. I personally believe that God led the original people, as flawed as they were, to America, for the sole purpose of providing a nation where the church could thrive and grow. This church, could be a means of grace to other nations that aren't as fortunate as America has been.

  Many missionaries have been sent out of America to other countries. Today, because of technology and good communication methods, Americans have been able to minister to people who live in other nations.

  The question is, has America been faithful with what she has been given, or have the people in America turned away from God and are they using His blessings to make themselves happy and keep themselves in a selfish state?

  We need to be praying for our local churches, as well as for the leaders of our country. God can change hearts. We need to be praying for the lost, to come to know the Lord.

  It's not by coincidence that whenever the President wants to do something important to help our country, the Left tries their best to stop it. Not only does the Left lie, but they actually want to destroy the country. They want to destroy it, so they can remake it once it crumbles. It will be in their hands, and they will remake it the way they desire, which is into a Socialist/Communist country.

 They are not teaching people to be responsible for themselves. They are shaping the people to be dependent upon others, i.e., the government. When they (the government) have their full allegiance, then they (the government) will have full control over the people. Thus, the people lose their freedoms. 

What is Going On Behind the Decoy?

A couple of days ago, I responded to a post with a comment. A few people thanked me for the comment. What I wasn't aware of was that many people probably are unaware of this information. So, I will take it and post it here for all to be informed.

"The attack from the Left is not just about Trump. It is toward all of us who hold conservative views. I believe Trump is just a decoy and they want to get him out of the way so they can continue marching on destroying our country so they can remake it into a Socialistic country. They hate Trump. But they hate anyone who doesn't go along with or support their immorality and corruption. What is amazing to me is that there is a greater persecution against Trump and his followers than there is to the Lord, although, I think these people hate God's principles and that's why they hate conservatism and anything that gets in the way of their agenda."


I have said this before, but just want to reiterate it in this blog post. 

Also, I have learned much about this from Dinesh D'Souza, a man whose family came over here from India when he was a boy, and became American citizens during that time. Dinesh is brilliant and has a good understanding of what is going on in America today. He has a way better understanding of American History than I ever had! You can find info on him by doing a search on the Internet. He also has books available that you can order from amazon.com.

When Conservative Promote Aggression and Liberals Seek to Unite?

This is so sad. This is what is being taught to students in a California school.

I remember learning, years ago, that in Communist countries, what they would do is to take the sports page from an American newspaper, then they would portray it to their subjects as if there were civil wars going on in America. They would tell their people that America was always in turmoil. America was a bad place to live, and you don't want to go there, they would try to lead their people to believe.

This idea from the California school is not far off. Friends, this is a manifestation of the thinking of men and women who have been turned over by God to their wickedness. These people are in complete darkness, and they see things in reverse (perversion). They see things that God calls, 'good' as evil. They see things God calls 'evil' as good (and desirable). They have lost sensitivity to the things of God and to normalcy. They are like robots. But you can get them to react if you threaten any of their so called 'rights'. They have a false sense of 'entitlement' as the devil has tricked them into believing that they have rights to things that God has forbidden.

We need to pray. When a nation is controlled by perverted people, it is in danger. Think of all the babies that are being slaughtered every day, because of the false idea of a 'woman's right to her own body'. Think about the people who get upset when they see someone praying in a school or even wearing a pin that says 'I Love Jesus', and they are in danger of losing their jobs.

This would have been unthinkable 50 years ago. There was prayer in the schools. Did you know that when America was a brand new country, the teachers used the Bible to teach students how to read. Many came over here to America because of religious challenges in their homeland.

America was started in order for us to have religious freedom without the government's involvement. But just the opposite is happening today. Today, those who have Biblical convictions are the ones who are being pressured to do the opposite and are harassed.

So, we live in a nation with absurd people in it. Not just citizens, but, sadly and primarily, those in government. What can we do?

We can pray. Many have started prayer times designated to pray for our nation. We are in trouble as a country. We have turned our backs on God, and I believe it starts with the church.

Do you know how often I see or hear people responding to the Gospel message by saying something like this; God is all-loving and all-forgiving? What is that supposed to mean? To them, it means that they don't have to repent of their sins and they can still go to heaven. It basically is a rendition of another Gospel. But where did they learn it?

That is the question. I imagine their are churches in every city and state that teach this false doctrine. This is one of the big reasons I personally believe that we are in trouble as a nation. Look at it this way, God begins working in someone's heart, yet that person goes to some church and finds out that everything is ok between him and God, simply because he has acknowledged that Jesus died for his sins. He can go on and live a life of sin and think he will still go to heaven when he dies! What a deception and how sad.

This kind of belief system makes the church weak. The church should be a place of safety for those who are looking for an answer for their sins. The church has to hold onto the teachings of the Bible, and not create an easy believism belief system in order to fill up the pews.

We need to pray for our churches in America, and we need to pray for our country. It's as simple as that.

The Redefinition of 'Bullies'

The word 'bullies' has been redefined. Today, the word 'bullies' means people who have things that you don't have. And every time you encounter one of these 'bullies', you are reminded about what you lack.

  This picture describes two people who end up being equal. This is what they want. They want everyone to be equal. Everyone's the same. No more individuality. No more 'Haves' and 'Have nots'.

No more bullies

  What people tend to forget is that those who 'have' are the ones who tend to share what they have with others. They also use their businesses to hire people who need jobs. If the business produces a good or service that is in demand, it will probably do well, and all who work for that business will prosper.

   You will never hear that from the Left though. They don't think that deeply.

  Remember, a true bully is one who has power over another. If a person has money or a lot of material wealth, it doesn't mean that he or she has power over those who don't.

  May God help us to be generous with what He has provided us with. May we empower others and invest in the economy so all who are able can work and develop the God-given skills they were born with.

   Here are some prayer suggestions:
* Pray for those who know the Lord to be filled with God's love
* Pray for those who can reason, to see the bigger picture of the situation instead of just listening to what they hear and believing what they hear at face value.
* Pray for God to bless those businesses which honor Him (ex. Chick Fil A, Hobby Lobby)
* Pray that we will steward the resources God has given us
* Pray for the Godly to have good jobs

The saying is still true; Idle hands are the devil's workshop. Let's keep people from being idle, and let's help them find their skills and strengths. Otherwise, it opens the door for the Enemy to come in and have his way.

Pray in the Spirit and see how God leads you to pray for these things.

Thoughts For Today Concerning Absurd People's Way of Thinking

  This shows the motive/heart of the Left. They're not even hiding their motives anymore.

Keep in mind that the Democrats are not playing this game the right way. There are not winners and losers. They are not playing to just win. They are playing to take over completely and eradicate any other competition that is against them. Then they can take over America and be the only entity leading our country.


How about this one? Michael Bloomberg thinks that the Chinese dictator has a constituency. Read this quote.
“When the public says ‘I can’t breathe the air’, Xi Jinping is not a dictator. He has to satisfy his constituents, or he’s not going to survive … The trouble is you can’t overnight move cement plants and power plants just outside the city that are polluting the air and you have to have their product. So some of it takes time.”*

Do you think he would make a good president?

Xi Jinping was not elected to be his country's leader. Read this next quote from Bloomberg:

“You’re not going to have a revolution. No government survives without the will of the majority of its people,” Bloomberg said. “He has to deliver services.”

Maybe someone should give him an old History book to read. 

Communist countries do not hold elections. They never have, and they never will, at least as long as they stay Communist.

Why Good Men Do Not Fall Into The Traps That Are Set Before Them

  I want to do this carefully, but I want to show you something I find interesting. While I don't want to compare Donald Trump to the Lord Jesus Christ, what I see in this is fascinating.

   We know that the Lord Jesus Christ is God in the flesh. He is holy and doesn't make mistakes. He is all knowing and has everything planned out. The President is very wise. I would say he is a genius. But he is prone to making mistakes and having weaknesses.

  When Jesus was living among us on the earth, He encountered people who refused to believe that He was God and that He has a claim on our lives. If what Jesus said to these people was true, it would mean that the people would have to give account to God one day for their actions, and they refused to acknowledge that. They wanted to remain autonomous, independent of God.

  Notice how the Pharisees and Scribes of Jesus' day, believed in God. They strongly believed in God. But, they refused to submit to this God who revealed Himself to the Israelites. Their hearts were hardened to God in such a way, that God turned them over to their wickedness.

  The wickedness of Jesus' day was expressed in a different way than it is in our society today. Back then, it was self-righteousness. Today, it is expressed by corrupt behavior. People who live in our society enjoy living out acts of immorality and getting away with it.

  Not everyone who is immoral though, has a hardened heart. Remember how in Jesus' day, the prostitutes and tax collectors came to know the Lord before the religious people of that day.

  Jesus explained to the people what the standard of God is. He showed mankind the corruptness of their hearts. Some people didn't like that. So, what they did was to try to trap Jesus into not being able to answer their questions. They wanted to trap Him so they could nail Him. They wanted to discredit Him because they hated everything He stood for. They wanted to make Him look stupid. Every time He spoke, or His name came up, they cringed. They even looked for a way to destroy Him. Many times.

   Jesus had some harsh words to say to them. He called them 'blind guides' and 'hypocrites' in Matthew 23. They tried to trap Him by asking Him questions that they thought He wouldn't be able to answer. (See also Mark 11 on asking Jesus where He got His authority).

   Watching what goes on in the White House is like watching a game. Those who are on the Left, the Socialistic minded people who are at the top levels of government, are continually trying to trap the President in something they can get him to fall into. Every day, a new trap is set out. Somehow though, in an amazing way, the President hasn't fallen into their traps.

  Unlike other Conservative Presidents who have led our country, the current President makes no bones about what he thinks about these people who keep setting up traps for him. They take clips of something he said, and twist it all around to make it look like he is a bigot or racist, when the original statement had nothing to do with that subject.

   These people have accused him of immoral acts that he didn't commit. They find out about a telephone call he made to a leader of another country and think to themselves, 'Bingo'. Now, for sure we can find something wrong that he did. The transcripts were open for all to read, and nothing is there that he did wrong. Yet, these people are convinced that if we look hard enough, something will show up.

  They photoshop pictures of him looking like he is bullying a little child (supposed to go with their narrative that he is separating children from their parents at the Border) when in reality, this act of separating children from their parents at the Border came about under Obama's administration.

  Our President has a good group of people around him, supporting him and even counseling him, at times. Plus, he has many, many people praying for him, which is a good thing. I would hate to see what would happen if he didn't.

  At the end of Jesus' life on earth, God allowed the Enemy to have his way, for a while. The greatest injustice took place on earth then. Notice though, that although there were many who would have killed Jesus during His lifetime on earth, that action happened at a specific time, for a specific reason. It happened so that God could have mercy on all of us, who are sinful. Because of Jesus' death on the Cross, God and people could now be reconciled.

  I don't know what will happen to the President in the future. I do know, that we need to be praying for him daily. We need to pray for his protection and safety for his family. We need to pray that he will make wise decisions. We need to ask God to protect him from sinning.

  One striking thing I want to bring out here is that with both Jesus and President Trump, there is a serious attack on them, and really it is for the same basic reason; people love darkness rather than light. In Jesus' day, those who hated Him were arrogant. They felt like they were God's final and only authority on earth, and when Jesus came along and explained what sin really was, they rejected the idea for themselves. They wanted to continue in their darkness and they didn't want Jesus to stop them. So they tried to trap Him and kill Him, if they could.

   But with the President, the goal is similar. Although the President, in his earlier days, had other ideas, he really wised up to what is good and right. He even changed political parties and embraces integrity and morality. He opposes corruption and stands up against it using his authority. The left knows this. And they hate him for it. They hate the idea that the President is appointing people to the Supreme Court who are Pro-life. They hate him because he is working to defund Planned Parenthood. They have come up with every kind of lie imaginable to get this man out of office. They would put an end to him, at all costs.

   I hope you can see that this is a spiritual battle we are in. We have to fight spiritual battles with spiritual weapons. We need to be praying for our country. We need to be praying for lost souls to come to know the Lord. We need to be praying for those who know the Lord to have fire in their bones. We need to be praying for the lies to be exposed. We need to be praying for the hidden works of darkness to be exposed and dealt with. We need to be praying for a just judicial system to be restored in our country.

  Pray for the President to outsmart every attacker who is set against him. 

Subtle Ways of Destroying America at a Local Level

I'm listening to Sean Hannity on the radio now, and a guest speaker is explaining to us how George Soros has worked with manipulating the authorities on the local level, such as the city commissioners. All of us know that George Soros spends a lot of his money to promote his agenda in destroying America. This is all very, very subtle, for if you look up a bio on George Soros, he is defined as a 'humanitarian'. That sounds compassionate. But his goal is not compassion. He is a puppet for Satan, and is listening to the voice of the Enemy to destroy us.

  I think we all should be praying, that God would disarm George Soros. May his money blow away with the wind. May his propaganda schemes all come to an end. May those working with him be scattered.

  May God continue to expose the hidden works of darkness.

  In Jesus' name.

The guest speaker on Sean Hannity Show is Luke Rosiak, author at The Daily Signal.

He Rained On Their Parade

Just a short blog today.

My thoughts for today; Although I think the Dems are angry about losing the 2016 election because they think the election results were unfair, I personally think there is a bigger picture here. I think they want Donald Trump out simply because they were laying the foundation for the country to be under Socialism, and now that their candidate didn't win, they won't be able to continue to implement their plans. 

Not only that, but, with Donald Trump in office, he will undo all the things they so painstakingly put into place while Obama was in office.

Basically, when Donald Trump won, he rained on their parade.

Oh, and one more thing. The Left is pushing Socialism so strongly for a simple reason; those at the top will become rich. Everyone else will be equally poor, but all the money will be in the hands of the top leaders of our country. No wonder they want Socialism to take place so badly.

Pray for America. Pray for revival. Pray for lost souls to be saved. Pray for protection for the President.

With Guns, We Are Citizens; Without Them We Are Subjects

I found this on Facebook and I don't know who to credit for this, but this article has much wisdom in it. If only we can learn before it is too late.


A LITTLE GUN HISTORY

In 1929, the Soviet Union established gun control. From 1929 to 1953, about 20 million dissidents, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.

In 1911, Turkey established gun control. From 1915 to 1917, 1.5 million Armenians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.


Germany established gun control in 1938 and from 1939 to 1945, a total of 13 million Jews and others who were unable to defend themselves were rounded up and exterminated.

China established gun control in 1935. From 1948 to 1952, 20 million political dissidents, unable to defend themselves were rounded up and exterminated.

Guatemala established gun control in 1964. From 1964 to 1981, 100,000 Mayan Indians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.

Uganda established gun control in 1970. From 1971 to 1979, 300,000 Christians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.

Cambodia established gun control in 1956. From 1975 to 1977, one million educated people, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.

56 million defenseless people rounded up and exterminated in the 20th Century because of gun control:

You won't see this data on the US evening news, or hear politicians disseminating this information.

Guns in the hands of honest citizens save lives and property and, yes, gun-control laws adversely affect only the law-abiding citizens.

Take note my fellow Americans, before it's too late!

The next time someone talks in favor of gun control, please remind them of this history lesson.

With guns, we are "citizens". Without them, we are "subjects".

During WWII the Japanese decided not to invade America because they knew most Americans were ARMED!

SWITZERLAND ISSUES EVERY HOUSEHOLD A GUN!
SWITZERLAND'S GOVERNMENT TRAINS EVERY ADULT THEY ISSUE A RIFLE.
SWITZERLAND HAS THE LOWEST GUN RELATED CRIME RATE OF ANY CIVILIZED COUNTRY IN THE WORLD!!!
IT'S A NO BRAINER!
DON'T LET OUR GOVERNMENT WASTE MILLIONS OF OUR TAX DOLLARS IN AN EFFORT TO MAKE ALL LAW ABIDING CITIZENS AN EASY TARGET.

************************************************************************* 

I like the phrase "With guns, we are "citizens". Without them, we are "subjects". This is so very true. 

In a Socialistic or Communistic government, there are really no "citizens", just subjects. In America, because we are a "free" country, we are citizens. Each person does his or her part in building the community. In a Socialist or Communist country, the government is everything. The government makes the decisions you should be making for yourself. If you make a decision, and it disagrees with the government, then the government will penalize you. Do you see how the government is playing God and is actually demanding worship from the subject? This is why we need to be praying for the church in America, and praying for our country.

If you are reading this, and are a citizen or subject to another country, then you need to be praying for the church in your country as well as the government of your country. 

Pray:

For the salvation of lost souls

For the church in America to become healthy

For evangelism to take place in every city and every state in our country

For eyes to be open to the spiritual battle we are in and take action

Families First; America First

Why do we take care of our families so well? Is it to keep adding blessings to our families or is there another reason?

  We take care of our families, and serve each member as best as we can, so that each member can, in turn, help others.

  We can only give away what we have been given.

  One of the directions we have for the church, is to 'edify' the body of Christ. We don't just have people 'come to Christ' to just go out and tell others how they can 'come to Christ'. The body of Christ needs to be edified in order for the people to be effective in ministering to one another. Each member of the body of Christ needs edification and discipleship before they can give quality ministry to others.

For the body does not consist of one member but of many. If the foot should say, “Because I am not a hand, I do not belong to the body,” that would not make it any less a part of the body. And if the ear should say, “Because I am not an eye, I do not belong to the body,” that would not make it any less a part of the body. If the whole body were an eye, where would be the sense of hearing? If the whole body were an ear, where would be the sense of smell? But as it is, God arranged the members in the body, each one of them, as he chose. If all were a single member, where would the body be? As it is, there are many parts, yet one body. 1 Corinthians 12:14-20 ESV

So then, as we have opportunity, let us do good to everyone, and especially to those who are of the household of faith. Galatians 6:10 ESV

  It might look selfish on the outside to take care of one's self or family first, but in the end, it makes sense. When we are edified, we can be used to help other's be edified. If we are blessed materially, we can give materially to others. We work hard so we can share our abundance with others.

  If I am sick, I cannot take care of my children or family effectively. If I am weak, I cannot be strong for others. I am not in a place to help them until I am helped first. I cannot financially help others if I do not have a job or a means of bringing in money. If I believe that 'money' is the root of all evil, and I refuse to work because money is an idol, I am certainly not going to be able to help others who have physical needs.  If I get sick, I won't be able to help others who are sick, because I am too weak to help others and I won't have money to get medical help if I don't have an income. 

  When America was started, one of the reasons that many believe, is that God would use this nation to ultimately bless others. As people worked hard and built a society, then as they prospered, this prosperity was to be shared with others. 

  The Left doesn't understand many things and they make wrong assumptions on things. One wrong assumption is that wealthy people are greedy. I agree that wealthy people can be greedy. Many are. But not everyone who has money is greedy. The Left would say that the wealthy are bullying the poor around. This is nothing more than judging a group of people. There may be some who are bullying others who don't have money. They should be dealt with by the Law. People who are bullies should be penalized. But that doesn't mean that everyone who is rich is greedy. Greed is a heart issue. It is not resolved with political maneuvers. Greed is resolved in the Gospel of Jesus Christ. But if a group of people have rejected God, I guess this wouldn't makes sense to them anyway.

  We edify ourselves, so we can minister to others. We edify the body of Christ, so those in the church can minister effectively. We build our nation up so it will be equipped to help other nations in need, when the time arises for that need to be met. 

   We work hard so we have resources to help others with. One day, we will give account of all that was entrusted to us. Let us be faithful with what God has given us. Let us become everything that God wants us to be, so we can serve others in order for them to become everything God wants them to be. 

Therefore encourage one another and build one another up, just as you are doing.  1 Thessalonians 5:11 ESV

Note: I just read about the phrase, America First. I realize that the President used this phrase as well as members of the KKK in the 20s. The meaning of the phrase simply means that we need to take care of our country instead of trying to take care of all the other countries in the world, at our expense. I'm sure the KKK would like to have made a powerful America without having black people as citizens. That is extremely sad and wrong. Nothing that the President has said has indicated that he wants any race or people of color exterminated. The phrase America First is just a simple way of saying that we need to take care of our country first. The same way we would take care of our families or churches before we would take care of others. We take care of our own, with the goal of our own being able to ultimately serve others. We are not myopic. It's just not a good idea to try to help others without taking care of ourselves first. That's all it means. Nothing more. 

Who Are The Real Haters?

  We see a lot of hatred in our country today, especially in the political realm. Freedom of Speech is one thing. But acting violently to speech that one doesn't agree with, well, that's not acceptable. In fact, it should be illegal.

   I have seen some hatred on the Right. I have seen some nasty remarks from Conservatives regarding the ideology of the Left. But I see something much deeper, and even something that is, I believe, misunderstood.

   There is a lot of rumors, and slander going around, making the President look like a racist. People falsely accuse him of separating children from their parents at the Border (even though he openly talked about enforcing the law that prohibits that). Why, they even say the President is a racist, simply because he wants to build a wall around the Border. Former Presidents also wanted to keep illegal immigrants from coming through the Border.

   People make a stretch and say that the President hates people with brown skin, but is that really true? I have never heard him say any such thing. When the President attacks people, it is always because they attacked him or his principles first. His response is irregardless of the skin color of the attacker.

   But people put words in the President's mouth to make the case that he is a racist. They want people of color to not trust the President. There is a reason why. When the next elections come around, the Left wants every black, brown, yellow, whatever the skin color is, they want the votes. They need the votes. They want these people of color to trust them and support them. The people of color are made into a victim group in which they say the President hates, and they will 'rescue' these people from the President's supposed hatred for them.

  So, there are some people in government who are anti-American. I won't say these people hate America. What they hate is the America that was started 200+ years ago, by our Founding Fathers. They wish to remake America into another kind of country, with different kinds of rights for different groups of people.

  I am not young, but I remember what we learned in History when I was a kid. It is not the same as what is being taught today in our schools. We are taught today, that America is an illegitimate nation, and deserves to be punished. Even more so now, thanks to the push further Left, we are now even learning that America should not be a sovereign nation. America should be not so powerful, and our country should come down several notches and get off her high horse. America should be part of a league of nations, instead of an independent nation.

  I know some of my readers will argue with me on this, because this is what you were taught in school. This teaching has never been taught before, and its not like someone has some kind of new revelation on the real secret of how America came into being. All this new idea of America started in the 1960s, when there was a big rebellion from the young people in this country, against the authorities. It was violent and lots of destruction came as a result of this rebellion. Today, the college professors and teachers, and teachers of teachers are those same ones who bolted against our country in the 60s. Socialism is now favorable, even though young people really have no idea of what the cost will be for living in a Socialistic country. They are enamored with the idea of getting 'free things'. They have not been told the cost of all this. They will end up paying, but it will be their children and descendants that will be the ones to suffer.

  Anyway, back to the subject of hate. If someone wears a MAGA hat, they risk being attacked. Who does the attacking? Someone who hates the President. Someone who is angry that Donald Trump is president right now. Who are the people who throw people out of restaurants? Those who hate the President. Who are those pushing for abortion rights? The same ones who accuse Pro-lifers of being 'hateful'. Who are those pushing for laws to allow babies to die if they are unwanted? Who are those spreading rumors about candidates and Supreme Court choices made by our President? The same ones who hate him and his supporters.

  You should read the emails from the Left. They actually say in the same paragraph, that they should do peaceful protests, but that they need to be aggressive in what they do. One of their own recommends harassing those who support or work with the President, when they go into a restaurant or wherever they go in public. We have seen this exercise worked out already too.

   Just try wearing a MAGA hat or a Trump support t-shirt. Walk around town. I dare you to do this. For when you do, you will find who the real 'haters' are.

  Remember, violence is an act of hate. It is one thing to express freedom of speech. It is another thing to physically attack someone you don't agree with or to steal or ruin their property because of your anger toward them.

Here is the story of how Activist Mommy's window was smashed. Remember, this lady has been attacked many times for her stand for what is right and true, and for protection for babies in the womb.

God calls us to the ministry of reconciliation. “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God." Matthew 5:9 ESV
"All this is from God, who through Christ reconciled us to himself and gave us the ministry of reconciliation; that is, in Christ God was reconciling the world to himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and entrusting to us the message of reconciliation. Therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ, God making his appeal through us. We implore you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God." 2 Corinthians 5:18-20 ESV

We represent the Lord and we are to be peacemakers, not troublemakers. God does not call us to acts of violence. God wants us to work peacefully with each other and to represent Him well and accurately. 

Who Are The Real Nazis?

   With all the accusations about the President being a 'Nazi', we have to ask ourselves some questions. What are the characteristics of a Nazi and who are the real Nazis today, specifically in America?

  Of course, the obvious is to look at Hitler, for he was a Nazi and became the identity word for what a Nazi is.

  I know there are some who deny this, but it really did happen. The Holocaust took place in Europe in the early/mid part of the 20th century. Many, many lost their lives in a horrible, tragic way.

  People of a particular nationality were sent on trains to end up at concentration camps or to be placed in gas chambers to be killed. The reason why these people had to die, according to Hitler, was to exterminate that group of people so that the Aryan race would flourish and these people would go into extinction. There were other reasons too, why Hitler wanted to get rid of the Jewish people. They had such good business minds and were very good at business dealings that Hitler felt intimidated by that.

  Here is a quote from the Ann Frank Organization page:
"The origin of Hitler's hatred of Jews is not clear. In Mein Kampf, he described his development into an antisemite as the result of a long, personal struggle. Supposedly, his aversion to everything Jewish came to fruition when he was living and working as a painter in Vienna (1908-1913). Most historians believe that Hitler came up with this explanation in hindsight. He would have used it to assure people who were not yet convinced of his ideas that they would eventually see the light."*

  What ever the reasons were for Hitler's hatred of the Jews, this hatred resulted in the deaths of 6 million+ people, and this is one of the most tragic historical events that has ever happened. 

  The President is often accused of being a Nazi. I'm sorry, but I can't see any connections between the current President and Hitler. My guess is that the Left will make a stretch trying to construct a case making the President look like he is in the process of building up the white male race? I don't know. And I don't get it. 

  In one of the more recent speeches I heard as the President was speaking, he came right out and welcomed immigrants to America. He told them to please come and that they were welcome to America. He also told them to come in legally. 

  Notice how whenever the Left talks about the issue of illegal immigration, they always leave out the word, 'illegal'. I have heard them dialoging and the Conservative will use the term 'illegal immigrant' while the person on the Left will seemingly correct it or rephrase the sentence leaving out the word, 'illegal'. I always find that interesting

  Immigration has always been taking place in America since the country's inception. In fact, I believe I heard that in the past couple of years, we have had more immigrants coming in legally than ever before! Please believe me when I tell you that we are talking about 2 different subjects when we talk about immigration. The situation with immigrants coming in every day with a passport or work visa, is not the same issue as the immigrants coming in illegally through the Border. These 2 types of immigrations are not the same.

  But who are the real Nazis in America today? The President? Someone else?

   Back to the real Nazis in America now. Let's look at a woman representative in our country, Ilhad Omar, who is serving in Minnesota's 5th congressional district. 

"Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) claimed in a recently resurfaced interview on Qatari propaganda network Al Jazeera that Americans should be "fearful" of white men who are "causing most of the deaths within this country." These racist and blatantly false comments came in response to a question about Islamophobia."**

Here is another quote from the same article: "I would say our country should be more fearful of white men across our country because they are actually causing most of the deaths within this country," Omar said. "And so if fear was the, the driving force of policies to keep America safe — Americans safe inside of this country — we should be profiling, monitoring, and creating policies to fight the radicalization of white men."

  O.K. then. Here we have it. White men across our country are actually causing most of the deaths within this country? Who in the world would be stupid enough to believe this? She is making an accusation, not only against the President, but against all white men. 

  But not only is she against white men in America. She is anti-Semitic as well. Look at this statement she made on March 3rd, 2019***

"I am told every day that I am anti-American if I am not pro-Israel. I find that to be problematic and I am not alone. I just happen to be willing to speak up on it and open myself to attacks."

And this one, "Israel has hypnotized the world, may Allah awaken the people and help them see the evil doings of Israel."

So, she is not only against white men, but, also against the Jewish people. Someone else was against the Jewish people too. Most everyone in his country was killed at his hands and by the military that served beneath him.

   This, my friend, is the real Nazi in this country. Along with those who are joining in with her against the white men in this country. They would destroy the white men if they could. Of course they would. That is what Islam is all about. 

  What is even more amazing are the perverted white men who go along with this. I don't hear any Left-winger white males standing up and opposing this. Could it be that they would go along with it if it means allowing Islam to take over America? 

  How about this statement from Don Lemon, a CNN television host, concerning white men? “I keep trying to point out to people not to demonize any one group or any one ethnicity, but we keep thinking that the biggest terror threat is something else,” Lemon said, adding, “we have to stop demonizing people and realize the biggest terror threat in this country is white men, most of them radicalized to the right, and we have to start doing something about them.”****

  According to Lemon, we have to start doing something about them. What do you think they should do, Don Lemon? Exterminate them if possible? 

  And this statement is hypocritical in itself. Anyone who has a brain can see the double standard in this statement he made. "We have to stop demonizing groups of ethnicities." But, "realize the biggest terror threat in this country is white men, most of them radicalized to the right, and we have to start doing something about them.” Well, you can't do both, Lemon. Either you have to stop demonizing ethnicities, including white men, or, you have to give the go ahead to demonize ethnicities so you can demonize white men. 

  Maybe I am in the dark, but here is another statement by Lemon. Mind you, I am not aware of the supposed masses of white men who caused more deaths than Islamic terrorists in the past couple of years. 

“Even though more people died in attacks connected to Islamic extremists, the vast majority of deadly attacks in this country from 2001 to 2016 were carried out by far-right violent extremists…. Their analysis shows that for every eight deadly attacks by right-wing extremists, there were one by left-wing extremists,” he said.

  Umm. There is a place for people who commit crimes and are caught. It is called, 'prison'. White men who do crimes go to prison. It's a simple as that. Black men go to prison too, when they are caught doing criminal activity. It's part of our justice system. But I guess Lemon wants you and me to believe that white men are basically responsible for many violent attacks that happen inside our country. And compared to Islamic Terrorist activity, it is more serious and more deaths take place because of the white male violence.

   What they are basically saying in their statements is that white men really aren't human beings. They are unwanted living organisms that have to be destroyed. Much like the Jewish people living in Europe in the 1930s and 40s. 

  So who are the real Nazis in America? By their actions, they give away who they are. Omar and her gang, Lemon and those who follow him.

A Society of Darkness Elects Leaders Of Darkness

When you have a society living in darkness, they will elect leaders who are in darkness.

The leaders we elect reflect the character of the society.

We wonder how strange people end up in our Congress and Senate. Someone voted them in. Or, they got the votes of dead people.

So, we see people like AOC and Ilhan Omar who were voted in by somebody, and we wonder how. In the case of Omar, the district she represents is made up of mostly Muslims, so it is no surprise that they voted for her. In the case of AOC, people who don't think would have voted for her.

Why have we elected these kinds of people into office? Corrupt leaders are elected by corrupt voters. The key to electing Godly leaders is to have Godly people in society.

How do we get Godly people to make up our society though? For one, we need to preach the Gospel message. You can talk to anyone on the streets and you will find out that for the most part, they have no clue of the Gospel message.

Most people think that since they have never killed anyone, they will not go to hell when they die. They think a person has to be pretty bad to go to hell. But that isn't true. Most people are pretty good on the outside, but in the heart, they are not good at all. They need to hear the pure Gospel message, so they can be saved from their sins and delivered.

So, there is a large group of people who want a pure government with leaders who will have integrity. But how do we get that?

It's not as easy as raising up a good guy and raising up enough money to fund his campaign. We could do that, but, unless society itself has a change of heart, they will vote for whomever they want. And if the society is unregenerate, then they will raise up unregenerate people to run for office and they will vote for them.

So, what is the answer? Society needs a new heart. The people who live in the communities in America need a new heart. They will only receive a new heart when they hear the Gospel message and respond to it.

The answer for us is to preach the Gospel message. The word of God will not return void. When people hear the words of life, they are changed.

If you want to change society, preach the Gospel message.

For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek.
