We are the First Generation of Americans to have This Problem

Judges 2:10*

All that generation also were gathered to their fathers; and there arose another generation after them who did not know the Lord, nor yet the work which He had done for Israel.

We are witnessing a ‘first’ in the history of this nation.  It is everywhere.  You will find it in our entertainment media, our schools and especially in our news coverage.  Sadly, we even see it in our pulpits.  What is this ‘first’ about which I speak?  It is the demonstration that — as a people — we have no knowledge of God’s Word.  Nowhere is the ignorance of the Bible — or more specifically — Christianity more evident than in several recent news stories.  Here, allow me to explain: Continue reading “We are the First Generation of Americans to have This Problem”

SPIRITUAL LESSONS FROM THE HEADLINES: Reason Behind Bill Maher’s Fear of Cruz Very Revealing

I saw this story today, and when I read it, I found that I better understand some of the the more troublesome aspects of the Old testament.  Bill Maher is famous for attacking God’s actions in the Old Testament.  He called God a ‘Psychotic Mass Murderer.’  Now, to be totally honest, I have never found a satisfactory response to the sort of attacks that Maher levels against God.  I reject them, but I have never been able to find a way to explain why they are wrong — until now.  After reading this story, not only do I have a satisfactory answer, I have that answer in the very person of the person making the attack — Bill Maher!

RECOGNIZE THE AGENDA: When Obama Mocks ISIS (ISIL)

I do not want to risk distracting the reader from the point of this post by making it appear to be about President Obama.  Therefore, I am not going to post any supporting stories or video in this piece.  Instead, I am just going to assume that the reader has heard President Obama mocking ISIS as “The JV Team,” or “A bunch of armed thugs running around in pick up trucks,” or some other words to this extent.  Rather than making this about President Obama directly, I’d like the reader to pay closer attention to the deception in the President’s words.  It is intentional, and we can prove this with reasonable certainty.  This is important because, if we can be reasonably sure the President is intentionally deceiving us, then we can conclude that this mocking of ISIS is propaganda, and propaganda is usually a sure indication of a hidden agenda.  So, let’s dig a little deeper into the President’s mocking of ISIS.

Only the Humble can be Taught or Corrected

Psalm 25:9   New American Standard Bible (NASB)

He leads the [a]humble in justice,
And He teaches the [b]humble His way.

This is a difficult subject for me to write about, mostly because pride and arrogance are among my biggest stumbling blocks.  But, pride-filled as I am, I am humble enough to know that I am no prophet.  I am just a sinner who seeks to draw closer to the Lord, and the closer I draw to the Lord, the harder it becomes for me to write.  More and more, I find that I am asking myself “Who are you to preach to others when you cannot remove the plank from your own eye?”  Still, there are some things about which the Lord commands me to write and this is one of them.  I know it is of the Lord because it comes entirely from His word, and because, if I do not write, it will consume me from within — like a fire.  Therefore, to whomever this is meant, let me share what the Lord has shown me about humility and its relationship to our ability to be taught or corrected by the Lord.

DEFENDING THE LAW: The Declaration of Independence is the Highest Law of This Land

People will try to tell you otherwise, but the Declaration of Independence is part of our legal system.  In fact, it is the highest man-made law in this land — higher even than the Constitution.  The Constitution is only the ‘how’ of America, but the Declaration is the ‘what’ and the ‘why’ — the spirit — of this nation.  Now, lest someone object that I am merely stating opinion, allow me to cite an authority who was there from the first days of our founding until the last: Continue reading “DEFENDING THE LAW: The Declaration of Independence is the Highest Law of This Land”

The Spirit vs. the Letter of the Law

America is no longer under the rule of law.  Today, we suffer under the rule of men, and that is defined as tyranny.  How did this happen in a nation famous for bringing the rule of law to the world?  I believe it has happened because Americans are woefully ignorant of the fact that it is the spirit of the law and not the letter that is binding.  How we were brought to this point is a subject for another post, but do not make any mistake: it was done intentionally, and it was done by using the letter of the law to pervert the spirit of the law.  Well, it is high time we restore some understanding to our society, and the events of the past week present perfect opportunities to explain the spirit vs. the letter of the law.

PROPHECY IN THE HEADLINES: Isaiah 17 and the Destruction of Damascus

Most skeptics like to scoff at Bible prophecy: claiming that it is written so vaguely that it makes it possible to interpret just about any event as a fulfillment of any given prophecy.  Well, the truth is, a great many of the prophecies in the Bible are so exact that these same skeptics try to force a much later date onto the date of the writing of these prophecies.  This is because, if they accept the given date of when the prophet wrote, they would also be forced to accept the rest of what the Bible claims and they simply refuse to dot hat.  Then there is the dual nature of prophecy.  In many cases — especially when dealing with the end times — a prophecy had an immediate and later meaning.  It was intended to foretell an event close to the time of the prophet to whom the prophecy was given, but it applies equally to the end times.  Such may well be the case with Isaiah’s prophecy against Damascus.

TRUTH: the ‘Living Document’ Doctrine is Lawlessness

Once again, I have encountered a reader who believes that the founders cannot possibly have meant what they said, and, therefore, we cannot possibly know what their original intentions were when they wrote the Constitution.  These people can be exceedingly frustrating to deal with as they have renounced the use of reason.  We can know this is true because they never seem to understand that, if they are correct and we cannot know what the founders meant, then we cannot know what they mean — and for the same reasons.  So why do they even bother to comment when they cannot even be sure they know what they mean, themselves?  However, setting all this aside, we still need to understand the foundation of their perverted reasoning.  At the core of this line of thinking lies the notion that the Constitution is a ‘living document.’  And, as with most things that are meant to deceive, there is a kernel of truth to what they say.  But because their reasoning is perverted, and their desire is lawlessness, it is easy for the casual observer to be deceived by that kernel of truth and tricked into accepting what is actually a lie.  This is why it is essential we know how the founders intended us to ‘interpret’ the Constitution — so that we are never seduced by the lawless individuals seeking to destroy this nation with their lies.

FOR TRUTH SEEKERS ONLY: The 1st Amendment GUARANTEES the Right to Teach the Bible in Public Schools

fisher ames

If you do not know who Fisher Ames is, but you believe there is a ‘separation of Church and State’ which prohibits the teaching of the Bible in public schools, then you have fallen for a lie.  The notion that the Constitution does not allow the Bible to be taught in public schools is pure propaganda, put forth by people who actively seek to destroy this nation as it was founded.  This is a fact, not opinion, and Fisher Ames is the perfect man to attest to this truth.  In fact, there is probably no higher authority on this matter than Fisher Ames.

WARNING TO THE CHURCH: It’s Time to Suit Up, because Our Persecution is Nigh at Hand!

Several years ago, I was only playing at being a follower of Christ.  Back then, I didn’t read my Scriptures very often, and when I did, it was mostly prophecy.  I was trying to figure out when I would be removed from the trials to come.  Then, in His infinite Wisdom and perfect Grace, the Lord called me to teach.  Now, I did not know or understand much Scripture at that time, but I did know what God’s Word says about holding teachers to a higher standard.  So, when I was called to teach, I got serious about studying God’s Word — and it was also about that time I started to humble myself and obey His commands.  Once I did this, God began to open His Word to me, including His prophecies.  He also  lead me to some of His other servants whose teachings the Lord wanted me to hear.  Because I set myself aside and allowed God’s Word to speak for itself, I have a knew understanding of prophecy, and with it, a new command.  The Lord has called me to warn whomsoever will listen, and not to cease sounding this alarm until He tells me to.  So it is that I say to all who have ears to hear: it is time to put on the full armor of God for the time of our persecution is nigh at hand!

Beware of ‘Christians’ Who Claim Allah is Yahweh!

My heart broke today.  I saw this picture on the wall of a good friend, a friend who claims to believe in the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.  He was promoting this picture as a means of fighting ignorance.  And while I understand my friend’s intentions, I also know that most people will not.  To them, the  implication will be that  Allah and Yahweh are one.  THIS IS A LIE!

Why I Fear for the Future of America — and the World

I have no concern for myself.  Live or die: I know I am going to be OK.  I am reasonably sure the majority of my family will be OK, as well.  But America is not going to be ‘OK.’  In fact, I feel an indescribably sense of dread; not only for America, but for the whole world — and this is not the worse part of it.  The worse part of it is that what I know is going to happen does not have to happen.  If only we would humble ourselves and accept things as they are and not try to make them into what we want them to be, we would have a chance to avoid what is coming.  But we are too proud to humble ourselves.  Instead, we double-down on our own arrogance-induced ignorance, and it is about to kill us all.

EVERYTHING You Need to Know about Islam in 25 Minutes

Grab something to drink, maybe a snack, then sit back and watch.  This guy has it 100% correct — and supports his narrative with correct readings from Islamic history and Islam’s holy books.  And yes, the tone of voice is slightly mocking, but listen to what he is telling you and you will understand that it is meant as satire, and it helps to make his point.

Now, just watch.  This sis perfect, and TRUE!

Also, note how this man exposes Obama for what he really is 😉

APPLIED SCRIPTURE: God’s Warning Against National Suicide (and the Death of Europe)

CAUTION

This post is written to Christians who already know their Scripture.  Therefore, it is ‘assumed’ that the reader is already familiar with the majority of what I will be discussing.  If you do not know your Scriptures and you read this post anyway, please do so with caution, and understand that it is predicated upon the understanding that I have no need to explain every concept that will be addressed.

Who is it that made the nations?  If you read your Scriptures, you will notice that man tries to unify himself, but God keeps disrupting man’s plans.  God banished Cain to be a wanderer, but Cain built a city to glorify himself.  After God destroyed all but Noah, men tried to build a tower to the heavens, again trying to glorify himself.  God split them up and confused their language to ensure they would have a more difficult time re-unifying again.  Different languages lead to different cultures, which leads to different nations.  God continuously speaks of about how He will make nations, Himself.  Therefore, God’s people need to understand that ‘nationhood’ is a part of God’s plan.  We must also understand that this gives us a duty to protect and preserve our nation, so that we do not commit national suicide — as Europe has!

How Did Muhammad Become A Prophet?

For those who do not know how Muhammad and Islam came to be:

Muhammad was praying in a cave when he encountered ‘Gabriel.’  According to Muhammad, the first several times, ‘Gabriel’ nearly crushed him, physically, to the point where he could not breath and panicked.  Muhammad said that ‘Gabriel’ told him to ‘recite,’ but Muhammad protested that he could not because he was illiterate (note: this is vaguely reminiscent of Moses encounter and reaction to God and the Burning Bush).
