Why do you think the Left is so intent on taking away our guns? The answer is really so simple that we could miss it. The answer to this question is, they want to take away our guns in order to disarm the people. They want to take away whatever power you might have, because if they do that, when a tyrannical government is in place, you will have no way to fight back.
Remember the American Revolution? The best weapons they had were their guns. They knew the British would attack and made preparations for that time. The men were to be ready in an instant, to fight, if necessary. That is why they were called, 'Minutemen'. They used guns and protected our nation from continuing to be under the rule of the British.
The Left thinks we are stupid. They think they are way past us in their schemes, but, we see right through them. Many of us have been taught against the dangers of Communism, and we will be ready to fight against it when necessary.

History Being Erased Then Rewritten
We can call people whatever we want. We can put labels on people that we wish to describe them with. But that doesn't mean that the person we are labeling is actually what we are labeling him or her with.
We see this in the world of religion, many times. There are people who call themselves 'Christians', usually because they don't understand what that term means. Sometimes, they are twisting God's arm to make themselves believe they are Biblical believers in Jesus Christ when they know they actually aren't.
But we do this with other people as well. It is a form of judging, but without the facts to back the claim up.
I have noticed that the labeling from the Left almost always relates to some action or belief system that they themselves are embracing. There is a lot of hypocrisy in what they are doing.
Terminology is also changing. For example, a Fascist used to be on the Left. Somehow, it got moved over to the right. When I looked up the definition of Fascist in a modern, online dictionary, the word was defined as being on the far right. How did that happen?
It happened simply because people are rewriting History. Not only History is being changed and rewritten, but also terms in the dictionary are also being redefined.
It all ties in with the narrative and plans of the Left to gain control of our nation. Those on the Left have been smart enough to infiltrate our school systems and colleges, and now young people coming out of college look at us as if we had two heads!
They don't understand why we are so concerned about the issues of illegal immigration and putting borders around our country. Laws have been made in the past, and everyone pretty much thought that was normal and commended the president for making decisions like to to make our country secure. But today, young people think that we are treating people in other countries unfairly. Notice the focus of their understanding; it has to do with what is 'fair' or 'unfair'. This is what is being taught in our colleges, but even at a deeper level.
Equality is part of the basis of the socialistic ideology. That's why they hate capitalism so much. It's not fair that someone builds a business and makes good money at what he or she is doing, while someone else works long hours picking fruit and barely makes enough money to feed his family.
The ideology affects many other factors as well. For example, it leads to everyone being the same. That's why there is such an emphasis on promoting the cause of Transgenderism. Eventually, there should be no difference between male and female, wealthy or poor, etc.
We have had people more recently deny that the Holocaust ever happened. Over time, this lie will be easier to tell with the results of the hearers actually believing this lie. But why would anyone deny the Holocaust?
I think it has to do with this goal of rewriting History. The word 'History' actually comes from 2 words meaning 'His story'. Those who deny God's existence and being want to erase History. They want to rewrite it from their own warped perspective. That way, they can ultimately control the thinking of those in our societies.
These same people are the same ones who are trying to undo the creation work of God. They deny Him as the Creator, and want to wreck His creation and redo it. That is why we have homosexuals, lesbians, and now, transgenders.
While I know that there are people who struggle with same-sex attraction, there are those who have flat out denied God's existence, and thus, His rule over their lives. If He doesn't exist, then He obviously cannot have any say-so in our lives, and we would not have to give account to Him. We could do whatever we want.
Not only are people now saying its ok to be transgender. They are working with young children trying to help them to decide whether the child really is male or female, despite the obvious sexual organs the child was born with.
"Though they know God's righteous decree that those who practice such things deserve to die, they not only do them but give approval to those who practice them." Romans 1:32 ESV

Yes, there was a time when people knew the truth. But they chose to reject the truth and live outside of God's boundaries. They are encouraging others to do the same. God will judge these people most severely.
They are taking down statues to help erase the memory of whatever happened because of the person represented by the statue. Those people's names will be removed from History books. A new story will be written about America. And it won't be written by Dinesh D'Sousa! It will be written from the Liberal Leftists.
We should take note of all this. History repeats itself. We could learn a lot from Kim Jong Un.
North Korea's leaders rewrote their History. They actually teach now that their leaders were divine. They expect people to worship their leaders. In fact, one of them in the past, took the 10 Commandments and replaced God's name with his own! And this kind of thing is being taught in their educational system in their ideology which is called 'Juche' (literal meaning is 'self-reliance').
What is wrong with 'Entitlements'?
"What's your is mine. What's mine is my own". Have you ever heard that saying? Well, some people think it is true.
What is an 'entitlement' and is an entitlement right or wrong?
We live in a society where the citizens seem to think that everything belongs to them. There is little thought or even research on how people get things. These citizens seem to think that money grows on trees and everyone gets a fair share of whatever is out there.
Our country was built by people coming in (immigration) and diligently working to build a functional society. But in the early days of our country, some came in and had this same 'entitlement' mentality. We had some people come to America simply to develop their own country, away from any idea of dictatorship and governmental control, especially over the church. But there were also those who came in to see how much gold they could find. It was kind of like gambling, but in a primitive form.
Some of those who came in were very irresponsible. They didn't understand the hard work that went into planting gardens and farming. These people had money, or at least a little bit of wealth, and probably were able to hire people to do the hard work for them when they lived in their native lands.
One particular group of these people was called 'gentlemen'. I believe these gentlemen came from England and had no intention of planting seeds, pulling weeds, and getting their hands dirty. That was when John Smith made a public notice which read 'He that will not work shall not eat'. It actually originated in the Bible and is found in 2 Thessalonians 3:10.
Fast forward to the present. We have a person in public who says that healthcare is not a right. She was dissed by many, but life goes on. Now I am seeing blogs and articles that indicate that healthcare is a right. But how so?
If healthcare is a right, then who pays for it? The government? How can the government pay for it? The answer to that is through taxing the people. The only way it can be done is by heavily taxing the rich. But how is that 'fair'? How is that 'equal'? It isn't. But that is how Socialism works and that is what the Left wants.
People want things at the expense of others. The heart issue we are dealing with is jealousy. It is a form of covetousness. If someone works hard for something and gets that item, it is deemed as unfair by many, simply because they themselves want it and they don't have it. It is like a two year old throwing a temper tantrum because Billy down the street has a nice toy truck, and all that the two year old has is a Matchbox car.
No wonder the Bible says 'Thou shalt not covet..'
So, instead of everyone working hard to make a living and to provide for themselves and their families, some people want to indirectly leach off others. That way, everything will be more even. Otherwise, in their eyes, it is not fair.
So, everything goes into the pot (the government, through our taxes) and the government decides who gets what. The government doles the goods out to others, the way the government thinks best.
I have never seen a wealthy or even a healthy Communistic society. The only thing I have seen that is common to all Communistic societies is the lack of food they have available for the people. Long lines of people waiting for their goods. At least everyone is being treated equally. Well, maybe, but in some Communist countries, those who believe in the Lord Jesus Christ are either at the end of the line or in prison.
I would imagine that if we took the money from the salaries of everyone on this planet, and combined the total and then dealt it out evenly, everyone would be poor. But John Lennon thinks this is what we want, and that we will all be happy one day when this is accomplished. Much of the world is deceived into thinking that this idea will work, but it is only a trap to keep us imprisoned by our false ideologies.
Entitlements end up causing us to become irresponsible and keeps us lazy. Not good.

So, If You Are A White Male, You Are A Bully???
Lately, I have been hearing a lot about bullies, on the radio. What is amazing though, is the concept of who the bullies are. There is no looking at the heart to determine if a person is a bully or not. According to some, being a bully is determined at birth by the color of your skin and your gender.
It's amazing too, that most of these people who have decided that a human being born as a white male is a bully, while at the same time, they believe that gender is something that has to be decided later on by the child as he or she grows older.
This is another example of the absurdity of the Left. They think in darkness and the results of their thinking don't even match!
I was thinking about this last night as we were watching a man perform in song. This man makes a lot of money and he is white. His name is Josh Groban. The show was top notch and this man has a voice that is unbelievable. Not only that, but the orchestra was top notch as well. This was one of the best performances I had ever been to.
But, I had to wonder what some people might have been thinking who have ever watched this man performing. They probably would be surprised, because this man is rich (I'm sure), he is male (that's obvious), and he is white.
Another thought that people have which ties in with bullying is racism. The two seem to go hand in hand. If you are a white male, you are a white supremist as well as a bully. These people seem to think that because many white people are rich, that is unfair to those who aren't, and these white people supposedly are taking away the wealth from the poor and they should be penalized. So, white people, especially males, are not only bullies, but they are racist too.
Has there ever been a case where a white male is a bully? Or maybe a racist? Yes, especially 50+ years ago. We have some who are racist, and I think they should be penalized. But this is a heart issue. It's not a skin color issue. The root sin is pride.

The Hidden Dangers Of Communism
Friends, I am very concerned about something happening in our country. We all should learn many lessons from History, and what has happened in the world in the past 5,000 + years.
One thing we can learn is that tyranny has always been a threat to any society, even if the society seems peaceful and good.
We have an unseen Enemy who hates human beings and would love it if every one of us were destroyed. He is relentless and will do whatever he can to take us off guard. He operates in lies, deception, and slander, and is actively working overtime to accomplish his goal.
One big goal the devil has is to take our freedom away from us. He does not want us to be free to think for ourselves, and make our own decisions. He doesn't want us to choose our jobs or occupations. He wants us to go around blindly, so we can be led by someone else in everything we do. Of course, that someone else, is no other than the government.
One of the big concerns I have is about Communism entering our society. When I was a child, my mom was very perceptive about Communism and what it could do to our country. I even remember when she wrote a letter to the president about how she felt about the Cold War that was going on.
I don't think we understand the dangers of Communism, and what it is that makes it dangerous and ultimately undesirable. But if we look back, even just a few years, we can see the horrific situations people were in who lived in Communist countries, such as the former U.S.S.R. or even Cuba.
Years ago, when I was in school, I was not the brightest bulb in the classroom, but, I did learn some things that actually stuck with me. I learned about how those who want to change our government work through infiltration. A Communist country is not necessarily going to march into the United States and take over by conquest. If they want to take over, they have to sell us on their ideology, and we have to accept it.
But when I was in school, years ago, people were vigilant against the tactics of Communism. Our leadership was wise and smart, and could discern where Communism was trying to make its entry points.
It's different today though, for some of those vigilant people are either gone or asleep. For example, when I was in high school, a class that used to be required, was no longer available to the students. I was looking forward to taking the class. It was called, 'Americanism vs. Communism'. I looked up on the Internet the reason why it was taken out of the schools, and the answer was that it was no longer needed.
Friends, those people who hold tightly onto the Communistic philosophy, have successfully infiltrated our colleges as well as our schools. These people are in Hollywood and are also running the mainstream media. We call them by different names; Liberals, Progressives, the Left, Socialists, to name a few.
The Liberal Left does not hide their agenda any more. Young people readily adhere to its concept. Many young people in college are going in the direction of Communism, but when asked why they would believe in that type of society, most of them haven't even thought it through. They are just following the ideology of the college professors and high school teachers.
How do we get from where we are now to becoming a Communistic society? Let's see, where can we start? What is the goal of Communism anyway?
The goal of Communism ends up being where the people have a total allegiance to the government. The government is everything to the people. The government makes decisions for the people. God intended for people to do their own thinking and make their own decisions, but under Communist rule, the people cannot decide for themselves anymore. That way, if someone makes a decision that is a threat to the government's ruling over them, the government won't have to worry about it.
Our school systems are no longer designed to teach students how to think for themselves (critical thinking). I am not saying that there aren't any good teachers out there. They are probably those who are in our schools and colleges who know exactly what is going on and are using their teaching positions to help students learn how to think for themselves so they can make their own decisions.
Communist societies do not encourage people to build communities and start businesses. Before a country turns Communist, the government caters to specific minority groups (and I am not just talking about races of people). The government specifically focuses on the poor and needy, not because they want to help them, but because they want to use them. If the government hands out goodies such as free health care and free food to people, the people will lose their incentive to work, and they will likely vote for the Communistically minded presidential candidate. They know the government will take care of them. It will also keep this group of people in a state of poverty, which they will have a hard time getting out of. Communists hate capitalism. They will accuse those who work hard to build their careers or businesses of 'stealing' or some unfair claim about them to make them look bad in the eyes of society.
Those who hold to Socialism or Communism will oppose capitalism, which will ultimately cause the economy to fall apart. When the economy falls apart, guess who we have to turn to? Who will rescue us? The government will be our hero. It will be our rescuer. That way, we will have to trust in the government. That is what they will want.
A word about the gun issue here. When our country was founded, most everyone had guns. They used them responsibly, almost always. Being able to have a gun legally is guaranteed in our Constitution. But what if those in the government can twist around the Second Amendment and take all our guns away? That would be a Communistic goal simply because when Communism takes over, we will be disarmed and we will not be able to fight against those coming in to implement a Communist government.
It's kind of like the devil disarming the one who has trusted in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. The devil lies to us and does whatever he can to disarm us, so we will not have the weapons we need to fight in the spiritual battle. Did you know that when you came to know the Lord, you were enlisted in a spiritual conflict? The Bible tells us of the many spiritual weapons we can use against the Enemy of our souls, but if we do not know what they are, then we will not use them. Most of us have no idea that we are engaged in this war, and there are many Christian casualties to show proof of this fact.
The last point I want to make about Communist countries is that in a Communist mindset, everyone is supposed to be equal. It is more than just treating people with equal respect, which is what all of us should be doing. But Communism thinks that if someone is wealthy, than that is unfair to those who are not wealthy. It is unequal in their minds, and they want to equalize it. So, one idea they use is to tax wealthy people with a high tax rate, and the taxes go to the government. The government then takes the money and allocates it to everyone else. Ever hear the phrase, 'Share the wealth', or 'Spread the wealth'? That is what that means.
In John Lennon's song, Imagine, he talks about a world without religion. He talks about having no possessions. I wonder what he was thinking when he penned those words. Would he be willing to give up his musical equipment for the sake of Communism, or, is he hypocritical like all the rest of the Communistic minded Liberals?

It is more than just treating people with equal respect, which is what all of us should be doing. But Communism thinks that if someone is wealthy, than that is unfair to those who are not wealthy. It is unequal in their minds, and they want to equalize it. So, one idea they use is to tax wealthy people with a high tax rate, and the taxes go to the government. The government then takes the money and allocates it to everyone else. Ever hear the phrase, 'Share the wealth', or 'Spread the wealth'? That is what that means.
In John Lennon's song, Imagine, he talks about a world without religion. He talks about having no possessions. I wonder what he was thinking when he penned those words. Would he be willing to give up his musical equipment for the sake of Communism, or, is he hypocritical like all the rest of the Communistic minded Liberals?

What Would Life Be Like Without Electricity?
I was thinking today about how much I depend upon electricity. I have plug outlets everywhere in my home. And many of them are in use right now.
We just went through a bad hurricane, and lost our power for almost 2 days. It is amazing when you realize how much of what you do relies on access to having electricity running through the wires in your home. And it makes you grateful for the power that is available every day to us.
There are still some parts of the world that do not have electricity available to them. They have alternatives to this kind of power.
What would happen if the lights went out in America? How would we respond? What if there is limited use available for electricity, and what if we have to rely on the government for access to having power when it is available to us?
These are questions that we have to ask ourselves. One day, it may happen. There might not be an alternative. How are we going to respond, and is there something we can do to prepare ourselves for a time where power may not be available to us?
God has blessed us as a nation, and made us prosperous. Many who founded this nation were God-fearing people who held up the standard of right and wrong, good and evil, etc. Today though, many have turned their backs on God, and have thrown out His standard.
What can we expect if we embrace rebellion against a holy God? Would His blessings continue, or will we end up reaping what we have sown?

To Kneel Or Not To Kneel - What's The Real Issue?
I've thought about this 'kneeling' issue for a couple of weeks now and had to sort it out in my mind before I made any comments about it. So, here are my thoughts on it:
1. The person has the right to express his or her opinion, even if it is wrong.
2. The forum for this NFL player to express his opinion by kneeling should not be done in the forum that he did it in. He should take this action outside of the game field.
3. I think we are giving this way too much attention, which is what the mainstream media wants us to do anyway.
4. Since this has already happened in a forum that is not proper for it to happen it, I believe it is ok for those who have the opposite viewpoint to respond by expressing themselves in it as well (such as leaving a game when the players kneel while the anthem is being played.
I just think if we could not give this event the attention it is now receiving, we would all be better off.
If I worked for a store, let's say as a cashier, would I have the 'right' to go out into the parking lot and give out tracts or do open air? Should I complain if I get fired for doing that?
I was hired to do a job. It doesn't mean that I can't share my faith, but, it does mean that I have to spend my time doing what I was hired to do.
I know that this is not the same as using a platform to make a point, but, it is similar because it is not the right venue to do what I am called to do.
It is as simple as that.
The issue is not that someone is trying to take away another person's freedom of expression. The freedom of expression was offensive to many, and there are repercussions to that action.
If someone were to use their platform to express hatred toward God and defiance toward Jesus Christ, how would we feel toward that person? Would we congratulation him or her for their boldness on expressing themselves and encourage their freedom of speech? Or would we have a distaste for that person because of what he or she stands for?
Which is greater, the person's freedom to speak, or what they are saying? I am not trying to say we should stop people from expressing themselves. It is just when we express ourselves, there will be some who will be offended and that is just one of the consequences of freedom of expression, especially when the action committed is truly offensive.
The only kind of kneeling we should be doing is when we are talking to God.
