09/04/18 WE REAP WHAT WE SOW
09/04/18 WE REAP WHAT WE SOW
I spent most of my preteen years in the Miami and Los Angeles metro-complexes. By the time I was twelve years old I had traveled across the US at least 10 times; crossed the Atlantic Ocean twice (on the Queen Mary and the Queen Elizabeth ocean liners); visited Mexico, Scotland, England, Wales. With all of that travel and cultural exposure, when we moved back to Morehead I was shocked at the godlessness among the men in the community of my birth. It was extremely rare to see MEN who attended church (unless they were old). Usually, if men did attend church they were not watermen. Mostly they did not even believe in God or the Bible, but those who had an idea of Christianity, mistakenly thought that being a good moral man and providing for the family was all that was necessary. This was taking a toll on the boys and young men of our area.
I was part of the first graduating class of West Carteret High School in 1965, and there were very few high schoolers who were serious believers and followers of Christ, and the ratio of males to females was very low. Things have changed over the years, but the years of spiritual famine robbed our community of men who could have, and maybe would have been strong soldiers in the Army of God. I know that this scenario fits other communities. However, as much as I knew about life in L.A. I was amazed at the sin in the youth of Morehead. Again, this comes back to the fact that most men considered God, church, the Bible, salvation to be something for children and old people. As Satan has attacked our community over the years, the ratio of ruined young people has been high, thanks to men who refused to be MEN OF GOD, which is what a real man is.

09/04/18 NOT FISHERS OF MEN
09/04/18 NOT FISHERS OF MEN
American SHEEPLE swallowed the lie that they are suppose to be spies for the STATE, and report any activity that does not bow to the Babylonian, Laodicean, mindset of Statism, Socialism and Humanism.
THIS TOO IS THE RESULT OF A BLIND AND MINDLESS SOCIETY THAT IS FOLLOWING THE MISDIRECTION OF LIBERALISM.
It is going to get worse. That crowd thinks that it takes a village (of idiots) to raise a child. Thanks to their propaganda, they have located, identified and swollen the ranks of village idiots.
God's idea was for husband and wife, mother and father, one male and one female to raise their children in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.
In fact, we got into this mess because men and women rejected God and His ways, His word, His Son, His church. Men were often so "manly," that they thought they did not need God. They boasted in their independence and separation from Sunday School, Church, the Holy Bible, the "church crowd," prayer meetings, Bible Studies, Worship Services, revivals. They also flaunted their filthy talk, their bravado, their worldliness, their nasty habits, their anti-woman attitudes and led their sons into a life of sin and an eternity of torment.
Wow, how fortunate for our world that such selfish, sin filled, wind bags led us to the point we are now.

09/04/18 NOSY NEIGHBORS SNIFFING FOR SOMETHING ROTTEN
Another nosy self appointed guardian of the children asked if our home schooled children get socializing experience.
I wish one of these nosy, busy body, uncultured, misinformed malcontents of a failed society would ask me that question. And I hope I remember what I just wrote.
HERE IT IS.
Well, the children in our school don't want to kill the teacher, the principle, other students or blow up the library or the cafeteria. And they don't have fellow students who want to kill them, OR RAPE THEM OR MOLEST THEM OR CURSE THEM OR STEAL FROM THEM OR ACCOST THEM WITH FILTHY TALK AND DIRTY JOKES AND PROFANITY AND OBSCENITY AND ANTI-AMERICAN HATE SPEECH OR MISOGYNY OR RACISM. They know their ABC's, Math, Geography, History, Language Arts, Science. They are involved in music, science activities, social programs, sports and a host of other activities that build their minds, broadens their social skills and gives them an education far superior to the Public School System. PLUS (now are you ready for this?) They have enough social skills to keep them from sticking their nose into other people's business.

Remember, the Human Nature can be subdued, saved and submissive.
The Sinful Nature cannot; it must be slain.

09/03/18 CONSIDER CAIN
09/03/18 CONSIDER CAIN
Propensity to evil does not preclude ability to obey God; which ability does not propitiate for sins committed. Consider Cain.
CONSIDER CAIN
Cain, like all other children of Adam, was born with an impaired, weakened and flawed Human Nature (nature to be human), which was subject to, and inclined to rebellion.
Cain, like all other children of Adam, also inherited a Sinful Nature (nature to sin) which tended only and always to rebellion.
Cain, like all other children of Adam also had the ability to choose to obey God, but choosing obedience was not his predominant inclination.
Cain's Propensity to evil resulted in acts of disobedience as with all children of Adam.
Though Cain had the ability to choose to obey God, any obedience to God would not have atoned for Cain's disobedience.
Cain, like Abel, was given the opportunity to seek God for reconciliation and redemption, but unlike Abel, Cain chose not to make an acceptable sacrifice to God.
Cain refused to to obey God, by humbling himself and making an acceptable sacrifice. A proper sacrifice would have been an act of faith, and Cain would have been justified by faith, as Abel was justified by God because of his acceptable sacrifice.
NOW CONSIDER YOURSELF
We are all born with a human nature and a sinful nature and the ability to obey God, but we all chose to follow our evil desires and disobeyed God.
Choosing to disobey is what makes us sinners.
Though we sometimes choose not to do evil, we all have sin as a nature and we have all chosen to sin personally.
No amount of choosing to do the right thing can atone for, or save us from the sins we have committed.
No one is inherently good and no one is saved by personal works of righteousness.
However, God has made the acceptable Sacrifice for our sins and our sin nature through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
We become partakers of His salvation by believing on Christ, repenting of our sins and following Jesus.

09/02/16 KEEPING IT HONEST
I REALLY THINK YOU SHOULD READ THIS.
The theological system of Liberalism denies the authority of the Bible, the origin of the Bible, the reliability of the Bible, the God of the Bible, the Divine creation of the universe and the world, the existence of Adam and Eve, the existence of Satan, the Garden of Eden, the temptation and fall of the actual first family, the human need for salvation from sin, the inherent sin of the human race, the catching away of Enoch, the existence of Noah and his family, the Noahic flood, the Tower of Babel, the life and calling of Abraham (including leading and choosing Abraham and Isaac and Jacob and the children of Israel to be His chosen people, nation and lineage for His salvation, the sacrifice of Isaac), the life of Job, the enslavement of Israel to Egypt, the history of Moses (birth, upbringing, calling and empowering at the burning bush, the Ten Plagues, the Passover in Egypt, the Pillar of fire and cloud during Israel's Exodus from Egypt, the opening of the Red Sea, the drowning of the Egyptian army in the Red Sea, the giving of the Ten Commandments on Mount Sinai, God's provision of water and food and protection for Moses and the Children of Israel in the wilderness for forty years, God's instructions to Moses for the Tabernacle, the Priesthood, the Sacrifices, the Feasts), the opening and crossing of the Jordan River, the conquering of Canaan, the period of the Judges (Samson), the life of David (lion, bear, Goliath), Solomon (wealth, kingdom, wisdom), the other heroes, miracles and prophecies of the Old Testament.
Neither does Liberalism accept the New Testament and its account of Jesus and His provision of salvation (conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of a virgin, actually lived and He lived a holy life, gave sight to the blind, hearing to the deaf, healing to the sick, cleansing to the leper, and raised the dead to live again, walked on water, stilled the trouble sea, fed the thousands, died a sacrificial death on the cross, rose from the dead physically). Liberalism denies that the Jesus of the Bible came the first time (and that He came as a Suffering Servant and Sacrifice) and that He is coming again (to rule and reign and righteously judge), it denies the Person and power of the Holy Spirit and the salvation from sin provided in the blood sacrifice of Christ, the promised rapture of the Church, the 7 years of Tribulation and the Anti-Christ and false prophet and the One World Government and One World Economy and One World Religion), the physical return of Christ to rule and reign for a literal 1,000 years on the earth, the final conflict, the Great White Throne Judgment, eternal suffering for the lost in the Lake of Fire, Eternal life for the saved, a New Heaven and New Earth and New Jerusalem, the ultimate victory, and eternity with the One and Eternal God, Who is Father and Son and Holy Spirit.
And you still think that you can be a Liberal and a Christian at the same time. Sin makes you stupid and Liberalism makes you insane.

This is not a CONSPIRACY THEORY, IT IS FACT.
There are only two sides, only two powers, only two masters, which is God and Satan. Everything else is either the playing field or a tool. The only reasonable and responsible approach to life is to be cognizant of God's plan, convinced of His authority and committed to His will. Anything less makes you a pawn of Satan or a weapon of his wickedness. Choose ye this day...

I usually believe science, until it disagrees with the Bible.
Liberals do also, until it disagrees with Liberalism.
MY POINT IS
Liberals often mock Christians because we accept the external authority of God's word, but Liberals reject scientific findings when they disagree with their anti-Bible beliefs.
This is where most Black Christians in America have been led into spiritual darkness. Believing the politically Liberal position warps Biblical understanding because politics and philosophy is based on Liberal Theology, which is anti-Biblical.
A basic Liberal tenet is the rejection of the Bible because it claims to be the authoritative revelation of God. However, Liberalism is committed to Secular Humanism and judges everything by the principles which exalt man and man's attempt to perfect himself through self improvement, minus any supposed Divine revelation or authority.
Liberals undermine and deny the teachings of the Bible and replace it with their own message. Liberal (Socialistic and so-called Democratic) Politics is an imposter of Christianity and an enemy of the Lordship of Christ, replacing spiritual freedom with "Social Justice" and the power of the Gospel with Liberation Theology, which is racial pride, racial hatred and violence in the name of Christ.
This vehement rejection of the Bible and Christ and His people explains the Liberal affinity for such violent groups as Islam, Black Lives Matter, the supposed Palestinian State, and the Socialistic nation's of the world, while they are actively opposed to Biblical revelation. the Jewish People and Jewish State, as well as the Christian message and presence.
