The Talented, Skilled, Healthy, Prosperous People Are Bullies

So let me see if I understand this correctly. If someone is endowed with a talent, skill, or career, that person is, by default, a bully? A racist, maybe?

What kind of logic is this? I understand a little about Yin/Yang, and wonder if there is a connection. Yin/Yang is a belief system that says that everything is equal or balalnced, if I understand correctly. If that principle is involved in this type of thinking, then for every person who is privileged, there will be a person who has no privileges.

Since America is such a prosperous nation, compared to other nations, then the only way for the other nations to become prosperous is for America to step down and not be so prosperous. Then other nations will come up and it will be balanced.

But what if God gives blessing and prosperity to an individual? What happens next? The Enemy of our souls will use the kind of logic I just wrote about and people will think it is unfair. Of course, the Left generally doesn't believe or trust in God, so they think the unfairness is due to natural causes instead.

So, for whatever reason of Donald Trump's good health report, the Left is angry once more. It's not fair. After all, Hillary got very sick during the campaign and her health was in question.

So much for the wishful thinking that Donald Trump is mentally ill or unfit physically for being president.

I wonder what it was that the president did to get such a good health report anyway? By the way, I am not convinced that he drinks Diet Cokes and eats McDonalds all the time. That's probably wishful thinking on the part of the Left to try to construct a story to disqualify the President's ability to be in office because of his poor health that would result from such a diet.

But whatever the reason for his strong stamina and clean bill of health, many will see this as more evidence that he is a bully. May God give him continued strength and health and wisdom in leading out country for the next 3-7 years.

Separating The Truth From The Lies

The Bible talks about our need to become skilled in separating the truth from the lies. It is connected with the skill of discernment.

"For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart."

Several years ago now, there was an episode that happened in the family of churches we are part of. At the top of this body, there were a few leaders, and there was some disagreements that one of the leaders had with the others. They seemed to be going in different directions. So, this disgruntled leader got out of the ministry and then turned on the main leader of this family of churches. What happened after this was amazingly destructive.

  The disgruntled leader made up a case against the main leader and spread this story all around. Articles were written and sent to the Huffington Post as well as other mainstream media formats. This former leader joined Facebook and collected thousands of Facebook 'friends' to whom he would tell his sad story to and gain sympathy from.

  Years later, the ministry was, for the most part, destroyed. What was interesting was to read the slanderous comments this former angry leader would write on his blog and post to Facebook, and the comments that would come in. People who probably had no idea who this main leader was, who was being attacked, would make comments like, 'this man is the most evil person who ever lived on this planet'.

Yes, we don't understand how a man who seemed to love the Lord can respond to life like this. But this shows how a heart of bitterness operates and what we become like when we allow jealousy and bitterness to grow in our hearts. Left unchecked, we will put ourselves in a prison of bitterness and probably never even see that we are bitter.

Fast forward to our present day. We have two main groups of people who think completely opposite in the political realm. We have one group totally and completely ruled by envy and anger (as well as hate). The tool they use is lies, and much like the scenario above, they make up their own stories to try to accomplish the goal of ousting a man who presides over our country.

  I understand why there are two sides to every situation. In the spiritual realm, there are two sides; evil and good. Whenever good comes in, evil gets displaced. Whenever truth gets exposed, the lies come to the forefront. People who love evil get angry when evil is exposed. Their secret hidden works are coming to light and they are not only unhappy, but are also full of vengeful anger.

  What puzzles me though, are those who claim to know the Lord Jesus Christ, who side with the slanderer. In both the church situation and the political one, there has been a group of professing Christians who side with the group that is in error. 

  God calls us to be discerning. For us to listen to just one side of the situation and not listen to the whole story is not using wisdom. We have to look at the whole picture and then take what is true, and be discerning.

  In both the church case and the political one, there is one side that is lying. Are we so weak in our spiritual lives that we can't tell which side is lying? Or, are we so proud and arrogant that we will side with the one we want to side with, and when the lies are exposed, we will continue to hold to that side because we don't want to admit that we made a mistake when we originally picked the side we decided to join with and fight for?

We need discernment!

Anti-Trump Anthropologist Comments On Trump's Values Voter Summit 2017

I read an article in Rush Limbaugh's letter that he sends out to subscribers, so I did a search and found the article he was referring to.

You might find this interesting. This article was written by a man who hates Donald Trump with a vicious passion. Yet, he has a little bit of insight as to what this civil war is about that is going on in our country today.

I am not going to reprint the whole article, but will take excerpts from it and comment. You can find the article at http://www.kansascity.com/opinion/readers-opinion/guest-commentary/article181300286.html

Another point of this article is that it shows that if we already have our biases and prejudices settled in our minds, no amount of reasoning or logic will appeal to us to change our minds about the thing we disdain so much.

The man, Robert Leonard, was asked to watch Trump's Values Voters Summit 2017. He reluctantly watched it and made some observations, which included his understanding of how rural conservatives view Democrats.

Instead of watching it though, he read a copy of the transcript and added his own comments. You can find the transcript here https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefings-statements/remarks-president-trump-2017-values-voter-summit/

He took excerpts from the transcript and added his comments to them. Here is some of what he wrote:

*Trump began by saying we are a nation of believers and that “together we are strengthened and sustained by the power of prayer.” Democrats want prayer out of the public sphere.

*Trump called the Las Vegas shooting a “horrific mass murder” and an “act of pure evil.” Democrats blame the guns and want to take yours away.

*Trump honored the heroes of Las Vegas, including the police officers and other first responders. Democrats elevate thugs and view our protectors in blue with disdain.

*Trump quotes scripture. Democrats ridicule those who do.

*Trump stresses unity. Democrats divide American society into victims and oppressors.

*Trump says, “We love our country.” Obama went on an international apology tour.

*Trump says, “We cherish the sacred dignity of every human life.” Democrats murder babies.

*Trump says, “We believe in strong families.” Democratic policies pull them apart.

*Trump says, “We are proud of our history.” Democrats tear down monuments.

*Trump says, “We respect our great American flag.” Democrats take a knee.

Even after all this observation, this man, Robert Leonard, is still a vicious Trump hater. Do not be surprised when you read the article of what this man really thinks about Trump. 

The point is, the observations are very accurate. Years ago, the Democratic party was more involved in helping the community more and the party itself probably wasn't Leftist as it is today. Things changed over the years. There was a recent time when the Democrats took God out of the picture. They lean toward building a big government and taking away the rights of the people. Do not believe them when they pretend to offer help to the poor. It is a bribe to get the votes from those who live in poverty (and will stay in poverty as long as the Democrats are in control).

Robert Leonard thinks the transcripts of the speech show brilliance. He says that if Obama gave a speech like that, he would have been applauded. 

The Democrats seem to see what is going on. But will that change their minds? I doubt it. It is a heart issue, and right now, before our country turns communist, those in charge on the Left will take away boundaries so that people can be 'free'. They promise them freedom, but that kind of freedom will ultimately result in bondage and much heartache. 

They want sexual freedom. No restraints. They want to kill or destroy anything that gets in the way of what they want. They want freedom at everyone else's expense. If they have their way, society, as we know it today, will be destroyed. It will implode upon itself. God will intervene and society will crumble. 

That's why we need to pray for the church and pray for the country. 

Why The Desire To Take Away Our Guns?

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

“Whoever receives one such child in my name receives me,  but whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him to have a great millstone fastened around his neck and to be drowned in the depth of the sea."   Matthew 18:5,6 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.
