The Higher Standard

THE HIGHER STANDARD

By Jim Towers

Everyone – and I mean Everyone is born with the resolute idea that they alone are the one and only unique repository of truth. This is a strange phenomenon imbued by us all. 

Perhaps it is because we can’t read another person’s mind that we think we know it all. But nothing could be further from the truth. Each and every person is only able to perceive what they have learned from reading or from inborn human intuition plus various degrees and variations of hard wiring.  But since we are like snowflakes each different than the other, our individual perceptions will all be different. Parental love and guidance as well as setting an example for the child also plays a part.

I my case, neither parent was loving and instrumental in spiritual guidance, although my dad instilled fear in us and raised us not to lie and always be clean and obedient. Mom, although a decent person seemed to have no religious convictions and was always clean and well-groomed as well. And so, it’s a wonder how God was able to infiltrate my life to the extent that He has. (My spiritual life began at the age of twenty-six, but I was always a clean obedient child and well read.) Books were my first love.

I always stepped in for the underdog and was taught right from wrong from my dad. He also taught me to walk like a man, “Throw your shoulders back and for god’s sake don’t bounce when you walk – but stride purposely. Keep your hair combed, and your fingernails clipped and clean and always clean or shine your shoes – and never ever wear wrinkled clothes   

All his admonitions served me well in life, and although he demanded my sister and I to go to church, he seldom did so himself. However, he watched Billy Graham specials on television. Still though, he was never able to overcome his vices of wine -women and song. I guess he tried to be good and even had Father Mc Keon (A Catholic Priest) as a confident and friend although he never seemed to have the need of repentance. And so it all comes down to this if we want to be pleasing to God and to have right standing with him.

The bible teaches that, “There is a way that seems right to man, but the end thereof is the way of death.” And so, as diligent as we are we can never know absolute truth and please God until we find Him, or He finds us. Even science is an unreliable tool to discover absolute truth, because it seems that almost everything man touches becomes flawed. An extreme example of this is that in our desire to win at war and not destroy the opponents’ goodies we have invented Biological Warfare capable of killing people without destroying buildings, houses, infrastructures, and land and we stand ready to use that technology today. – How foolish is that!

Also, (as the recent election shows), we are all divided in various ways of thinking and interpreting life itself. Because of the way we perceive situations and objects with our varied and /or myopic point of view we can be deluded or even fooled by what we observe with our six senses. The mid- term elections were a case in point. By that I mean, how can anyone vote for higher gas prices, higher food costs, inflation, and starvation, not to mention heating costs in the dead of winter? Not only that, but the socialist indoctrination of our children by perverts in the public school system. Furthermore, with the prospect of never-ending vaccines – even for these same children and with lockdowns looming on the horizon -plus having to wear useless masks again – to me reeks of Communism in its deadliest form.

A good way to experience this phenomenon is to go to the art museum and discussing the same painting with different individuals. Everyone, almost without exception will see a painting differently. A vivid example of this happened to me when I was selling my stained-glass artwork at an outdoor festival. My pieces are your normal everyday subjects such as birds, wildlife, and landscapes and as I was talking to an interested customer, she pointed the bottom of the waterfall depicted in the panel and exclaimed, “I love that little sailboat in the pool below the frothing waterfall – I’ll take it – but only for five hundred dollars.” On further examination I was finally able to see the little sailboat bobbing around in the pool at the bottom of the waterfall among the waves. She saw what nobody else ever saw – including me the maker.

Today, as I prepare to appear in a video as the Persian Magi character “Melchior” in a Christmas offering for our three-thousand-member church (First Presbyterian Church of Bonita Springs Florida) I find that the Wise Men of old (Magi) did a better job of seeking out truth than most “seekers” or “seers” of today who, “Thinking themselves to be wise, they became utter fools.” 

God knows that only what He teaches is worthwhile in the larger scheme of things. Only God is the final arbiter of truth and wisdom. Without the laws and wisdom found in the Bible man and cultures can barely function as they should, but instead find themselves becoming a flawed people and often, third world countries desperate for food, devoid of reason -with only animalistic instincts to guide them. Drug addicts, alcoholics, and suicidal people are the results of faulty thinking and making bad decisions. The best decision a man can make is to follow God’s teachings, which are found only in the bible.

“The Word of God always turns out to be true, no matter who questions it.” In The Holy Bible, the TEN COMMANDMENTS is a great example of good laws that keep people in line and still be able to enjoy life to its fullest. Deuteronomy is written to expand on these truths in greater detail. Much of the rest is written for world history and how that God deals with those who defy him deliberately. 

The New Testament agrees with all that was written previously in the Old Testament. When Jesus came, He taught us from Holy Scripture and never deviated from it, but instead taught us, healed us, and our inclinations to do wrong. 

The Holy Spirit was given to us followers upon His death on the cross to help keep us in line, instruct and comfort us in our trials and tribulations and not by outward manifestations or false piety but by a quiet and content spirit imbued by internal peace and hope.

The ultimate truth lies in what God – our creator has to say about a matter and that’s why it’s so very important to read, study, and learn from it. For it is the ultimate truth. “Heaven and earth may pass away but my truth shall stand forever.” Thus, saith the Lord God of heaven and earth.

COMMON SENSE ISN’T SO COMMON ANYMORE

By Jim Towers

People everywhere are searching for cover from all they see happening in our world. Things such as war, famine, natural disasters, economic woes and manmade viruses. Bunkers and bomb shelters are being built by those who can afford to have them built. Preppers are stocking up on food, this is the commonsense thing to do in today’s chaotic world.

After reading the news on the internet and watching the news on television, they cower in fear from all they see happening in the world. What with wars, rumors of war and the very real possibility of a nuclear holocaust in their own back yard, people have good reason to be afraid. Freezing to death without fuel to keep them from doing so, finding themselves homeless and scrounging in garbage cans for food like the Venezuelans and people in other communist countries must do to survive – are other real very fears.  

Yet many American people still cling to the hope that government can save them from these catastrophes, when they are the very ones causing much of this calamity. Albeit some who without common sense look to an illegitimate government that continually lies and is incrementally taking their constitutional rights away from them; (a puppet government who gives our money away to other outlaw countries like the money was their very own,) and all the while, imposing ever higher taxes on its citizens even while they are turning out thousands of armed tax collectors to get even more from the populace.

The only people that are oblivious to the times in which we live are homosexuals, transvestites and assorted lunatics still parading in varying degrees of nakedness and causing trouble and chaos everywhere they go. They are those blinded by Satan. They want the right to abuse others and our children all to do likewise and force us acquiesce to their way of life. These people have much in common – but primarily their denial of the God of creation. The poor souls have been blinded by the father of lies and so they worship trees, animals, and other inanimate things and even demand the right to worship Satan openly. How absurd and what an affront to Almighty God who gave them life. Even Monkey Pox, STDs AIDs and Syphilis can’t stop them, and so Sodom and Gomorrah live on in present times. These same people also believe the lies they are told by their governmental leaders although anyone with any degree of commonsense can see that they are wrong in all they do because their belief systems and motives are skewered. Through and through with sin. It’s funny how they want others to believe that they are intelligent, loving and kind, when in fact they are inclined to do evil, and are self-righteous, self -serving, devious, and vindictive. 

It makes us wonder if there is redemption for those who fallen for Satan’s lies. I hope so because we all know someone just like that, even among family members.

The apostle Paul writes in the book of Romans, that these people are those, and I quote,

“Who changed the truth of God into a lie and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.  For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: And likewise, also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet. Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers, backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, without understanding, covenant breakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful.” 

The book of Timothy says somewhat the same thing only it is a little less severe. In reading these verses we can see that people are going down that path in increasing numbers. In speaking of the “last days” the apostle Paul tells Timothy what it will be like in the final days when people forget about God and the teachings of Christ Jesus which are declared in the bible. 

But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days. People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good,treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God— having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with such people. They are the kind who worm their way into homes and gain control over gullible women, who are loaded down with sins and are swayed by all kinds of evil desires,always learning but never able to come to a knowledge of the truth.” Doesn’t this scenario sound familiar?

We all know someone like that., They may even exist within our own families and friends; they maybe even neighbors. The best we can do is try to get them acknowledge God, to repent and receive Christ. Sooner or later, they will thank you for your concern. In reaching out to them however we must be careful to do so out of true concern.

Although most people know that world shaking events are taking place everywhere, they search for cover and answers in vain – when the answers can be found in the only God beathed book in the world – the Holy Bible. The bible says this about itself. “All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting, and training in righteousness.”

If you consider yourself a true Christian then you shouldn’t be able to find yourself in the lists of people in either book, if you do then maybe it’s time for you to repent and get right with God.

Nevertheless, you must keep in mind that no one is perfect even after receiving Christ, but now we have an advocate with the Father. One who will never fail us.

Book review:

I’m looking forward to reading Eric Metaxas, (one of my favorite Christian writers) “Letter to the American Church”, The book is published by Salem books. This latest book deals with the church and what they must do before the imminent rapture and the soon coming of the Tribulation period.

HURRICANE IAN 

and the upcoming political storm

By Jim Towers

Because I am 10 miles east of the coast, I have barely escaped the devastation of hurricane Ian. And so am writing even as the hurricane is pummeling Southwest Florida. It is a very serious category 5 storm. With 12 ft.to 18 ft. water surges, as the eye approaches land near Sanibel, Captiva, Ft. Meyers and Sarasota; it is expected to be the strongest storm in the area in recent memory.  

Marco Island which is the southernmost city of the on the west coast, the streets are covered with water, and it is about ninety miles south from the eye of the storm. The hurricane  is about 150 miles across the center. The bridges have been closed and now there is no escape for those who hesitated and now they will be left behind to endure the full brunt of the storm. (It sounds like the rapture, doesn’t it?)

Governor De Santi urged everyone to hunker down as it is too late to leave the most vulnerable locations where the storm will strike on the coast. The eye of the storm will linger over a given area for up to three hours, first the winds will buffet the area below it to the left to right and then as the eye passes over the winds will hit again from right to left.

Local officials are doing what they can to coordinate the rescue teams ready to come in and rescue those who stayed behind as well as those who could not get out of the storm’s way for various reasons, – but only after the storm subsides, what with power lines trees falling and debris flying at tremendous speed it can get to be deadly out there.

The storm coverage is the best I’ve ever seen or heard, and the weather reporters have been giving updates and warnings for the past 48 hours. NBC has been doing an excellent job in keeping us informed on television and radio. However, the internet has been out for 36 hours now.

There were 8-12 ft surges here in Collier County where I am at 9:07 this morning. And at about twelve noon my mission station (the Naples Pier) is still standing but closed with damages after having been repaired twice since I’ve been living here. 

Four years ago, hurricane Irma was a Cat three. It did significant damage where I live in Naples. Electricity was out for eleven days without so much as a Microwave or having water or ice. Hurricane Ian is one digit less than a category five – it was a very powerful storm. 

My son Matthew who lives in North Dakota just left a text message to not forget to pray and to hunker down. But luckily, we escaped the brunt of the storm. We are experts by now at handling all the effects of these storms. 

Hurricane Andrew that hit Homestead Florida was a real doozy and I volunteered to go there with the church I was attending at the time to help feed those whose homes were swept away. Then Came Ivan that hit the Panhandle which was a significant storm as well. I spent weeks clearing and cutting up huge trees that had been toppled by the winds.

At noon, all bridges that connect to the mainland have been closed to traffic. The Skyway bridge, (one of the highest bridges in the country), has been closed as well. I well remember the five-mile bridge in Pensacola having had a section collapse and a trucker having gone over the end and meeting his death during hurricane Ivan. You just never know when you are going to meet your maker. I just hope he was saved.

The Catastrophic hurricane has passed, and huge pieces of debris, chunks of concrete, asphalt and trees are littering the streets. The Sanibel causeway was swept away, and some cars and houses were up to eight feet under water. Houses were flooded up to the attic, rooves were torn away by winds that reached 150 miles an hour. Power lines are down and 130,000 people are left without electricity. Ft. Meyers/Ft. Meyers Beach was also hit hard.

Rescue teams from Miami and around the country are responding and began operations beginning at first light. Now several homes are on fire. At 3:00 P.M. Thursday the 29 Th. of September the day after the storm seven people have died so far.

The Political storm due in November is also beginning to shape up. Let us hope that it isn’t a Cat 5 as well. The storm shaping up on the political front, can be likened to the hurricane that has just pummeled Southwest Florida. 

The upcoming political storm began just after the rigged presidential election took place, during the last presidential election, and now we are experiencing the calm before the storm hitting us from the opposite direction.

Many people on the Left and on the Right were predicting the failure of the electronic voting systems and indeed they did fail us, the Communist Chinese made sure of that. But they weren’t the only ones to tamper with the results, there were several others involved as well. As the 2000 Mule documentary by Dinesh De Sousa can testify, and if these irregularities aren’t corrected by eliminating the voting machines altogether then once again there will be doubt about the votes during the Mid-term elections as well; in which case there may be rioting in the streets. Only this time even conservatives may be involved as well, depending on who wins the most seats.

Once again, the Communist Left will try to steal the election to keep control of the House and Senate, but it won’t work. Everyone is aware of the theft that took place during the last Presidential race. Like President Trump we conservatives were flabbergasted as most other people were when the election was called for Joe Biden. 

Like the hurricane of today there is a lot of bluster, and positioning as the next political storm is shaping up in the United States. The results of the mid – term elections will determine whether we survive the catastrophic results of the Biden – so called administration.

The Left is doing all it can to discourage President Trump from running four years from now. In fact, they have been searching for ways to incarcerate him. Although they’ve thrown everything, they have in their arsenal at the wall – nothing has stuck. They are rabid in their dislike of him even though he has done nothing to warrant their animosity toward him. With the pollical winds picking up and as the day of reckoning (November 3) approaches, the communists will do anything short of assassinating the one president that did more good things for this country than any other president. 

With the lackluster performance of Joe Biden, even hard-core Democrats now want to rid themselves of the obvious puppet in the White House. He is as much an embarrassment to our Christian nation as was Barack Hussain Obama who was always apologizing for the U.S. being a corrupt country, when in fact, we have always been a benevolent society that even went so far as re-building our wartime enemies economies and structures after war.

The eye of the political storm is tightening and soon all hell may break loose with the fate of our country hanging in the balance. If the Left wins by hook or crook, we will devolve into a communist state. Laws will be uprooted like so many young saplings and be strewn along the path of destruction. It will be brother against brother, son against father and neighbor against neighbor.

For too long Christians have been complacent as the radical left has taken over our learning institutions and courts of law. Soon though, even churches that have been watching from the sidelines will begin to speak up as the day of reconning approaches. But it may be too little too late. Complacency and the good life have had its day and now we may get what we deserve.

As the winds increase and people begin to hunker down to wait out the storm, much will have already been uprooted and all other things we take for granted have been shaken to the core. Jesus warned that a house built on the sand and not the solid foundation of Christianity is certain to crumble.

If that isn’t enough, there are the winds of war forming; a war known as the war of Gog and Magog. That is to say, the war of Communist China and Russia and their allies making war in which we will ultimately be swept up in – as they go after all the goodies of Israel.

NOTE: 

Just when I thought no one cared for my safety I received Emails from my readers out of concern for my safety.

Matthew T., Kelly Tyson in Texas, John Broadwater, in England, Brad Keefer Sr. Joyce B. Johnny B. and Kaye Buckley in Australia are the special people who wrote.

God bless them for pulling me out of a deep blue funk.

ENDLESS MIRACLES

vain,gospel

By Jim Towers

My whole life has been a life chock full of miracles. Why??  I’m just an ordinary man yet God has favored me with endless miracles all throughout my life. He may just do the same for you.

In searching for a title for my book (248-page manuscript) I thought it would only be right to give credit where credit is due. God has undoubtably and indubitably been watching over me and working miracles in my life from the time I was born a pre-mature child to a 17-year-old mother. (The doctor had asked my parents whom to let survive and she chose to let me live, taking her chances with an operation.) I guess you could say that was the first miracle in my life.

Both of my parents were handsome, intelligent, clean, and hard-working individuals but they were working class people. Dad was a welder and mom was a nurse’s aide. As for me, I was always an avid reader. I was a good kid, obedient and dutiful – thanks to my strict upbringing.  

But there was nothing to indicate that my life would be exceptional in any significant way. Yet with God’s help I was able to reach and mingle with the stars. By stars I mean movie stars and other top achievers. Today I write to encourage others and do artwork to enhance others’ lives as a hobby. 

In telling this story, I want to encourage others that God can work miracles in your life too – if you give Him a chance. Nothing is too hard for our Creator. 

Jesus said to him, “If you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes.”

Besides, having survived a drowning (In which I saw my life events unfold before my mind’s eye like a motion picture and three vicious beatings that should have killed me, I will relate a miracle that happened on a lonely stretch of highway through the Arizona desert in the late summer at night.

The vehicle I was driving was an older van whose rings were badly worn. I had been warned by my brother-in-law “Pauly” who was a master mechanic that I shouldn’t attempt the trek from Jamestown North Dakota to Hollywood California without first replacing the rings on the van. But since I was determined to set out right away, he cautioned that I should always keep a couple of quarts of thirty weight – non detergent oil on hand just in case.  And after giving me what oil he had on hand we said our goodbyes.

I was a relatively new Christian and felt that I could really do all things through Christ who strengthened me and was willing to undertake anything. Some people would say I was young and foolish, even reckless. But since I was always able to overcome all previous obstacles, I felt capable to meet any challenge – besides, who wants to live a humdrum life?

Having always been adventuresome, rough, and ready, we took a secondary road through the desert in Arizona. The plateaus, smaller mesas and huge cactus spires were awe inspiring. But the van ran out of oil as the viscosity of the oil broke down in the summer heat. It ran like water through the worn rings as the last sign said 60 miles to the next gas station. 

Luckily it was beginning to get dark and soon the day would be cooling down. Nevertheless, the oil gage on the old van began rising and it was beginning to register hot, and we were out of the oil that was given to us. I babied the vehicle and stopped every so often but finally I pulled over one last time. I knew the old van would soon stop on its own if I didn’t. 

It was dark and there were millions of stars out in the black blanket of the sky. Silence also enveloped us as we sat in the vehicle and prayed.

We hadn’t seen another vehicle for hours and now we were out in the middle of the desert alone. Time seemed to stand still but in reality; we had only been there for less than twenty minutes.

God was at work. Pulling things together to rescue us.

Looking up into the rearview mirror I saw a pinpoint of light coming our way and it took a while for us to hear the air brakes on the ten-wheeler as it pulled up behind us.

I quickly jumped out of the van and went over to the cab of the tractor trailer just as the man was rolling down the window. “Are you alright?” the big middle-aged man asked. 

“How far to the nearest gas station?” I asked sheepishly.

“Oh, about forty miles or so. What seems to be your problem?”

“I ran out of oil and can’t go any further.”

“What kind of oil do you need?” 

“Thirty weight non- detergent, the rings are bad and that is the only oil that will stand up to the heat in the desert.”

“You’re in luck, I just happen to have a full case of thirty weight non- detergent under the seat that you can have.”

I offered to pay the man, but he insisted that I take it as a gift. He loaded it in the back of the van – wished us well and left.

God sighed a sigh of relief and shook his head and laughed, “Jimmie boy is sure a handful.” The angels shook their heads in unison and took flight to help another human being not far away.

We were good to go now and traveled as far as we could in the coolness of the night. There was a roadside park before you enter Los Angeles about sixty miles away. We stopped to rest in the foothills of the Sierra Madre mountains. It was about three in the morning, and we had no sooner laid down in the van to get some much-needed sleep when we heard the rumble of motorcycles and the drunken laughter of a motorcycle gang. Pretty soon the hard rock music began, but we were too tired to care. Leaving it all in God’s hands we quickly went to sleep.

“Call on God in your time of trouble and He will answer,”

ABOUT MOVIES AND THE HUMAN CONDITION

By Jim Towers

Movies were used to great effect during the second world war by both the Americans and the Germans for propaganda purposes. Many “movie stars” participated in the war effort. Today, while culture wars are going on we are exposed to men kissing men (on the lips!) and women kissing women is the norm – in the movies and television and Netflix as well – and the F word is used indiscriminately on all fronts.

After the war came television but instead of diminishing movie attendance it only enhanced it. Television was ok when it first hit the market, but as time wore on it became redundant and finally today it too is perverse what with all the sordid subject matter being displayed on the little screen as children watch the sordid action and think nothing of certain bi-sexual hosts who flaunt their sexuality as though it were normal to be a woman who thinks it’s ok to act like a man.

The Big screen -not to be outdone -also began delving into sexual deviant subject matter. Then the deadly Covid fiasco nearly did away with movie attendance altogether and was indicative of the end times when all things became temporal. 

Then the End times came upon us unexpectedly even as we tried to make sense of this and other abominations – even as we continued to make plans for the future, and it hit us with the force of a cat five hurricane. Today we are in the eye of the storm. Especially with the midterm elections coming up. 

Many of us are confused and despondent over the state of the nation as demonic forces threaten to destroy the next generations and the nation itself. Today unborn children are being sacrificed on the altar of convenience and money made from their body parts. Pedophilia is rampant everywhere and is even endorsed by people on the left. Crime and murder are over the top as killers are let loose to roam the streets in search of victims in mostly blue states. Joe Biden or the person who pulls the strings (Obama?) just brought in a sexual deviant to head up the Monkey Pox fiasco. This sadomasochist even has a Satanic Pentagram tattooed on his chest – proud of who he serves.

Whatever happened to good movies, like Mel Gibson’s “Passion of the Christ”? It was the best movie ever. The story line was right on track with appropriate music at the right time and the visuals were beyond parr, the costuming was great, and the dialogue was superb, that movie is my all-time favorite of any and all movies combined.

“The Bible” was another good movie where they did the very best, they could with what they had at the time.

The “Ten Commandments” was another triumph for Bible based stories although discrepancies can be found in each of the latter two. The texture of this movie was great, and the music was as heroic and as powerful as “Moses” played by Charlton Heston. What a time to been alive to have seen these block busters.

I may have to see these movies again to be reminded that these wonderful films that once drew me closer to the God I serve.

Other than that, documentaries are now my cup of tea. Documentaries are true life stories taken from everyday news.

I just finished reading “When the moon turns to red” by Leah Sottile, and low and behold the documentary came out on Net Flix the following week! 

The story is about a woman who was a Latter Day Saint (Mormon). A once good-looking woman who dazzled everyone with her smile and sweet personality.

Having just read the book I watched the documentary to see how true to form it was and it was well done with actual interviews and news clips. The woman subscribed to the Mormon fables that led to her destruction, and ultimately the death of her two children. Mormons believe that a young man named Joseph Smith was walking near the woods behind his house when he stumbled on a “peep” stone left by an angel named Maroni, (what is a peep stone?? Funny how Moroni rhymes with Baloney.) Maroni appears to him and tells him where to find some gold tablets that will lead him to be the founder a perverted religion based on various foolish premises. What ever happened to the gold tablets?? Even today, some of the adherents believe in wearing diapers thinking doing so will one day will make them become gods themselves. (Doesn’t that sound familiar? Like the verse where Satan said, “I will ascend to the furthest reaches of the North and become like God.”

In any case, this woman began to think of herself as some sort of goddess and had acquired a small following of likeminded women to follow her and her adulterous paramour, – a writer of fantastic spiritual fiction. This tragic story is still being played out in real life in the courts and she and her lover face the death penalty for three killings – if convicted. The bad part of this story is that all of Christianity will take a hit of condemnation from stories like this and other likeminded foolishness that abounds today in Christian circles.

If that wasn’t enough, another book based on truth titled, “The Laptop from Hell” exposes the Biden family of its many criminal and treasonous offences against our country. It is raw in its expose’ of these traitors and references the incriminating information found in Hunter Bidens laptop. My guess is that the CCP and Ukraine are blackmailing both father and son, given the amount of money Joe has given to the Ukraine which ranges in the billions of American dollars.

I haven’t yet seen the documentary (My son Hunter) based on that book, and don’t feel it necessary to do so, after reading the book “Laptop from Hell” I already know more than I need to know about this criminal family.

On top of that, Chinese communist spies have invaded our country and now lurk inside our institutions – as well as our federal government.

I wish I could tickle your ears with good news, but we must face the reality that we are living in the end times and the only good news I can divulge – at this point in time is that the rapture should take place sooner – rather than later.

CELEBRITIES RECEIVING CHRIST!?

By Jim Towers

Who would believe that hard core agnostic and atheists are repenting and receiving Christ? Yes, arrogant and self -serving actors and celebrities are receiving Christ under the end times prophecy “In the last days I will pour out Spirit on all flesh……”

Even Shia LaBeouf just became a Christian! The once obstinate actor was an agnostic but when offered the role of Padre Pio a famous Roman Catholic priest of the 1800s; a man who garnered worldwide acclaim for possessing healing powers as well as what Roman Catholics term as exhibiting “stigmata”. Stigmata is the bleeding in the areas where Jesus would have bled during the crucifixion. 

In undertaking of the role, Shia researched the life of Padre Pio at different Roman Catholic churches near his home in California, then, later he went to the actual convent in Italy where Pio served, and he could get a “feel” for the demanding role.

After months of preparation during where he learned all he could about the role which he would undertake and undergoing rigorous Catholic training as well.  Beginning to pray for insight into the priest he underwent an inward transformation after much introspection. After months of preparation, the hardheaded intellectual actor is well on his way to cleaning up his act and living the Christian life. – or so he says.

As I watched Shia’s interview on YouTube, I was looking for any indication that he was being untruthful, but he claims to have at least read the book of Matthew in the Bible.

Back in the day, Catholics didn’t read scripture at the church services and only heard the Mass in Latin, they mostly read secondhand explanations of scripture in pamphlet form called Catechism.   The Catholic Biblical Cannon is the Douay Reims version of the bible which contains other questionable “books” such as Tobias, Abdias and Sophonias. Who or what is Sophonias, pray tell?  

Although Shia loves the mysteries of the Catholic Church, I find these trappings stifling and stunting personal spiritual growth. We believers are admonished to “Study to show thyself approved, a workman that need not be ashamed, rightfully dividing the Word of God.” I began and still study the King James, and New King James.

Worse than that, the Roman Catholics worship idols in the form of statuettes. And use the rosary (as do the people of the Muslim faith.) Which begs the question, – Didn’t Jesus say not to pray to idols, and not to say repetitious prayers – as the heathen do?

Nevertheless, I do hope that Shia is on the path to know our Lord and Savior and continues to be a seeker of truth. 

There is the rumor that Elon Musk may have made a profession of faith in Christ, but although he appeared before professing (immature) Christians asking questions, he answered the way most American people would answer, like, “I believe in a higher power and I am a good person, Jesus was a good person, etc.” These answers are common among those in secular society. His interviewers were novices in proclaiming the Gospel and were laughing throughout the interview all because they had scored an interview with the richest man in the world. What an obscene interview.

Tom Hanks has made a profession of faith. But we’ll have to wait and see. “Life is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you’re going to get.”

Sharon Stone says she is a Christian. Really?

Jane Fonda claims to be a Christian. Who am I to say?

Of course, we all know Kirk Cameron who has a new Christian movie coming out soon. I hope it’s not as cheesy as most of them are.

Chuck Norris also claims to be a Christian but never proclaims it openly. Incidentally, I worked on a Chuck Norris film called “Invasion U.S.A.” which his brother Arron wrote and directed. I portrayed the boat captain in the opening scene where a Russian cruiser comes up in front of the old vessel I pilot and they pretended to be the American Coast Guard. Meanwhile I was having trouble with the outboard engine when they arrived and killed all the people aboard the craft – including me. But at least, Chuck invited me and the rest of the cast to his house for a Christmas wrap party.

In any case all of the above are just as capable of claiming to be Christians as the rest of us. Why even some politicians are claiming to be Christians, take Nancy Pelosi the pro-abortion speaker of the house for example, who happens to be a Roman Catholic as are many other career politicians.

And speaking of politicians, “President” Joe Biden (The big guy) gave a state of the union speech in which he sided with the Ukrainian’s who have the goods on him and his son to the tune of millions of American dollars. (He knows that if he crosses them, they will expose his shady dealings with them via Burisma – his son Hunter’s illicit business enterprise.) 

The same can be said of the Chinese Communist Governments dealings with the Biden criminal enterprise. The Big guy knows that if he says anything bad about either of our mortal enemies, he will be in turn be exposed for being a beneficiary of the criminal dealings of his son, the hard-core drug addict and sex pervert. If anything, untoward is said against either of these two entities they will expose him for the puppet that he is. Blackmail is a powerful tool, and they wouldn’t hesitate to use it against these wolves in sheep’s clothing.

In his state of the Union address Biden, with slurred speech while coughing, addressed the nation from a small gymnasium that holds about 300, even so, there were at most about 250 in attendance in what was referred to as a rally. The bought and paid for media made much of the partisan speech in which he threatened conservatives with irresponsible rhetoric. 

Joe, it seems would even go far as to promote civil war just to deflect the talk about his shady dealings with Ukraine and Communist China as well as protect his criminal son and brother. 

If these people had any integrity, they would admit their failures and face the consequences rather than let the country suffer. Incidentally, he is in negotiations with Iran to continue their nuclear arms program. In fact, one of their top leaders will be making a trip to the US to address these issues with Biden soon. What kind of patriot is that?

One last thing you should know, and that is; did you know that the Chinese Communist Party is making the masks that you wear to guard against the virus they made, and they also make the computer components for our elections. And, oh yes, now they are making the 666 chips for the use of the one world government.

If ever there was a time to prepare to meet your maker, it is now.

EXCERPTS FROM MY BIO 

christians,vain

By Jim Towers

Being a new “Born Again” Christian I plunged headlong into the Holy Bible and began to memorize scripture verses. I loved everything about this book. “I can do all things through Christ, who strengthens me” was one of the first of many verses I took to heart – literally.

Years ago, when I snagged my first television commercial I had a full head of hair – today -not so much., and with God on my side, I was full of confidence and myself. After two and a half years of drama studies I got my first paying commercial and the pay was good -very good. I signed a contract with the producers for a year and a contract to join Screen Actors Guild, (a union for professional film actors without which you didn’t get work and most actors would kill for.) as well.

Immediately on the heels of that miracle I was cast for the Miami Promotional – “Miami’s for me” and so I became a local celebrity. I loved this work that came so easy to me. (While in the first and second grades I was always willing to sing in front of the class and to do big drawings with colored chalk on the blackboard while the rest of my classmates watched.) Some people say I was a precocious child.

After a couple of years of bible study I thought, “Yes, ……I CAN do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” and so, my new wife and I went to Hollywood California. A cesspool of sin and debauchery.  But we found a Beverly Hills Baptist church and settled in. 

While there I met Tom Lester (Eb) of the Green Acres fame at our new church. He was one of the finest people I ever met. He invited me to go get a few groceries with him at a local supermarket. 

The former Postmaster General Lawrence F. O’Brien who worshiped there as well, took a liking to me, and invited us to lunch at his beautiful house in the Pacific Palisades on a cliff overlooking the Pacific Ocean. He too was very cordial.

The parents of Kirk Cameron also members at our new church but kept to themselves and Kirk probably attended Hollywood Presbyterian where most Christian actors went to worship. We made friends with the people at this church easily.

It was nearing Christmas and film work came to a standstill. I was walking around the MGM studio back lot searching for a friend who was a stagehand. Caroline had taken work as a secretary at MGM, but when her boss came onto her, she quit. 

Things were beginning to get rough. But my new friend Paul Hanes who lived right down the street from us just off Wilshire Boulevard. By faith we had prepared Christmas dinner for the homeless even though we were now strapped for cash since Caroline had quit her job. I asked God to provide for us, somehow.

My new friend Paul Hanes whose wife worked at CBS in wardrobe came over to ask us if we would watch over their little Poodle while they went North to spend Christmas with family. We agreed to do so.

The next day we went to their house and the young couple showed us around and introduced us to their little dog and showed us where its food was. Then without skipping a beat Paul said, as he walked to the oversized refrigerator stuffed with food and opened the two big doors. “Please feel free to help yourself to everything in there. We had a Christmas party last night for the employees of the CBS wardrobe department and these are the leftovers.”  There was Turkey, ham, beef, cakes and pies and all sorts of condiments and side dishes plus an assortment of drinks. As he opened the bottom freezer drawer he said, “There’s different ice creams and other goodies in here.”  And to think, Caroline and I thought we were going to eat meagerly during Christmas. 

By now we should have learned that God was our provider and helper in times of trouble.

Soon after, while helping a small crew of men renovate a house in burned out Watts, I stepped out onto the sidewalk to retrieve a tool when I heard a woman screaming “HELP… HELP…I’M BEING ROBBED! I turned in the direction of the sound and immediately a young man came running past me almost bumping into me. I determined he was the thief and so I gave chase. I was gaining on him when he turned and reached into his jacket pocket and pulled out a handgun. He turned back toward me and stopped – took aim and immediately I threw myself behind a car sitting in a driveway. The first bullet whizzed past my head and into a house. The second bullet went into the ground near my feet. I watched from beneath the car and watched the young man run into an ally and disappear. Just then I heard someone with a sense of urgency ask. “Which way did he go?” It was a carload of undercover policemen. The driver said “We’re undercover cops, come on -get in. I hopped in the car with them and showed them where I had seen the thug turn in. When we got there, they all jumped out and gave chase on foot. I went back to what I was doing giving thanks to God for being able to dodge the bullet. That’s how bad it was, and it’s just as bad or worse now.

We were now short one hundred and thirty-five dollars to meet the months’ rent. A lady friend who went to our church asked us over for coffee one weekend, while there she had a visitor. The little old woman was bent over and frail, she had coffee with us and finally she said, “I have two dear cats who need to be given water and fed every day for a week. Our friend said, I’m going away, or I would do it dear.” I piped up “I can do it for you I’m not doing anything anyway.” “I’ll see you tomorrow at eight” she said. I got her address and went there the following morning – she was waiting.

The place was a small bungalow on a side street with the typical California red tiled roof. As I walked in, I could smell that this was indeed a house where cats lived. I cleaned the litter box and fed the cats while she went back to bed sick. “When my nurse comes, please open the door for her.”  “Ok” I replied, and as I tidied up a bit, I noticed a prominent photo on the old lady’s dresser. I recognized the masculine face and short white hair; it was one of my favorite matinee movie stars, JEFF CHANDLER! When I asked her about it, she said “He was my beloved son Jeff…. Jeff Chandler the movie star.

When the week was up and was getting ready to leave the little old lady, she called me over and handed me an envelope. “I pay for everything – here take it.” she said, as she thrust the envelope into my hand.

As I walked away from her house I peeked at the check inside – scribbled on it was the unlikely amount of one hundred and thirty-five dollars! 

God had come through for me once again.

AN OPEN LETTER TO OUTSIDERS AND ELON MUSK

By

By Jim Towers

Having met and worked with some of the most famous people on the planet and having been in ministry for over forty years I feel well qualified to call out my fellow artists and other outsiders for whom I have love and sympathy. As much as I don’t condone some of their grievous folly and outright sin, hopefully these people will heed the call of God in their lives and avoid the great tribulation that is about to befall the world when many will be hungry and afraid. 

My heart goes out to you all – as even now we are all beginning to be troubled about the future of our country and humanity at large.

Just so you know, my personal story begins like this: (The whole 240-page story is told in my book titled “Miracles, Signs, and Wonders”).

Years ago, I repented, of my foolish lifestyle and received Christ’s forgiveness in a dark forest at night – by moonlight. I didn’t even know what I was doing – I just cried out to God in desperation because of the collapse of my marriage and the eventual loss of two very young beloved children. “God, if you are real, please reveal yourself to me. I’m sorry for having lived the way I have…. Jesus HELP ME! After collapsing in a heap, I felt heavy burden of sin lifting off me.

Afterward, I finally slept that night for the first time in a long time. The next day while at work I felt a warm stirring in my stomach as if water was gurgling up and giving me a sense of contentment. Not understanding what was happening I stopped into small empty church after work, looking for a bible and miraculously found one. Unfamiliar with it I opened it randomly and my eyes fell on this verse. “He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water” and so from that moment on I’ve been an outspoken evangelical – never doubting that I had been “born again”. 

Little did I know that this was a rare phenomenon since in those days Pentecostal preachers were even claiming to raise the dead.

Nevertheless, I became a Baptist because of their study and adherence to scripture. (Not so much anymore, because in these days of apostacy we need to be careful where and what we learn and adhere too. However, anyone can ask for the Holy Spirit to help them understand the Word of God and He will do it.) Today I adhere to scripture alone and read it daily and have memorized many scripture verses.  

In any case, this conversion altered my lifestyle and opened doors that I never thought were possible and so since I loved to do artwork, my new Christian wife and I headed south to Florida where I had aspired to become a professional artist. 

The Ringling school of art had just begun the new semester and so I was too late to enroll. On that same stretch of road, I spied a sign declaring open auditions for the new season at the Sarasota Community theatre. The play was “Take my Wife”. With nothing better to do I went inside to audition on a lark, having had one semester of drama in high school. Low and behold I got the part of a Jewish playboy doctor, Dr. Roth. Charles Livingston portrayed my father in the play. I soon found out he was the former director of the Lone Ranger series – first on radio – then on television. He was the one to urge me to study drama at the University of Miami saying “I think you’ve got what it takes to be a professional actor. So off we go. Incidentally, I worked as a Portrait artist on Miami Beach at the Fountain Blu while I was being tutored by Ladislou Vaida the head of the drama department at the U of M. That was over forty years ago during which I snagged my first tv commercial – the first-time auditioning. I also snagged my Screen Actors Guild card at the same time! God was truly working in my life, and I give Him all the credit and glory.

I love going to Saturday matinees at the Plaza Theatre for ten cents with enough left over for popcorn and candy. Hopalong Cassidy, and the Lone Ranger were my favorites. Never in my wildest dreams did I think I would meet and work with movie stars, famous directors, and screen writers. 

Please don’t throw caution to the wind like Elon Musk recently did – eternity in heaven or hell is a very long time.

Mr. Musk recently tweeted to his accuser writing this message about hell in response; “Thank you for the blessing, but I’m ok with going to hell, if that is indeed my destination, since the vast majority of all humans ever born will be there.”

To Mr. Musk and other celebrities, I would tell this little story. 

There was a very wealthy man who snubbed his creator God and imagined himself to be far above all other kings who preceded him. His name was Belshazzar. One day as he was feasting, and partying with the utensils and drinking wine from the golden cups taken from the Temple of God, he and party goers dropped their food and drinks in absolute shock as a huge, dismembered hand wrote on the wall above their heads that wrote silently, “Mene, Mene, Tekel Upharsin.” 

Daniel the prophet of God interpreted the words which held the party goers in terror and no one else could interpret. He said, “This is the interpretation Oh mighty king; “You have been weighed in the scales and been found wanting.” Immediately he lost everything – even his life.

Belshazzar should have known better; his father was put out to pasture when he defied God. Nebuchadnezzar immediately lost his mind and spent seven years eating grass like a cow. His nails grew to become like claws and his hair grew long and covered his face. In other words, he had lost his mind. 

We should all be careful not to provoke (our creator) God to anger.

God has in essence let us get away with murder, sexual perversion, and all sorts of criminality. But the day is coming and soon when he will pass judgement on the world. Then it won’t matter how powerful, famous, intelligent, talented or wealthy you are.

In telling that story I can’t help but think of the many actors and actresses I’ve worked with who fit that description. They have power, money, and fame but their lives are devoid of meaning. Sex, drugs, and rock and roll just don’t cut it anymore. Dear actors and other outsiders please consider repenting of your indifference to God – asking His forgiveness and ask to receive Christ into your heart and life.

Today while in retirement I write – mostly screenplays with the hope to get my movie about the end times on the big screen and with time running out, (The beginning of the tribulation period is finally here) I want to sound the alarm, and I am currently seeking producers to help me do so. People willing to lock arms with me on this venture can contact me at the Email address below for more information and synopsis (outline).

PROPAGANDA, HATE SPEECH AND OUTRIGHT LIES

By Jim Towers

Mainstream media outlets are crossing the line with their blatant disregard for the truth. Television Networks are directly hurting individuals in attempts to promote a political agenda.   And now President Trump is suing the F.B.I. and Lisa Page, Peter Struck, James Comey and several others in the D.O.J. for defamation and the mainstream media – as well. 

Because of the propaganda, hate speech and outright lies they spew daily the mainstream media is suffering rejection by the American people. At the same time the independent internet news is taking over big time. There are no celebrities here and in fact many of them are new to news reporting – take for example Stew Peters the Christian conservative who’s taken the internet by storm and others like him.

I quit watching television altogether several years ago and rely solely on the internet for my daily news these days. So much is happening in our country now that you can’t keep up with the news on the internet. Last night I heard that the Dr. who broke the news of there being graphene oxide in the jabs for Covid 19 was severely injured in a plane crash tonight and in is in the hospital with severe injuries. Carrie Madej, a doctor who is/was standing against big pharma. It is being speculated that this might have been an assassination attempt. She and her boyfriend were involved in a plane crash upon land at a small airport in a Cessna. (She and her boyfriend have since survived.)

Another two doctors Brian Artis and Dr. Zev Zelenko are on a big pharma hit list while Dr. Zelenko died of cancer. (He expired before I wrapped up this article.) 

The Sergeant at Arms during the Capitol riots quit his post after and today committed suicide. It was revealed that he had asked Madam Pelosi for more help to control the crowds of people approaching the Capitol building. He didn’t however get the additional help he asked for and for some strange reason he quit his post after the mayhem became the political inquiry it is today. 

This all seems a little fishy. But if you consider that several people died in the fracas it makes sense that he would quit the post, but one has to wonder about why he chose to commit suicide. 

Cassidy Hutchison who on hearsay accused President Trump of acting like a lunatic and grabbed the steering wheel of the “Beast” limousine he was in – on the way to the Capitol – just perjured herself. The two players in her story denied even knowing her. Her confidant Liz Chaney, the one who introduced her to the j6 trial was out of town campaigning – how convenient. 

Liz Chaney apparently joined the Republican party only to infiltrate and do harm to Donald Trump, a man she and most other Democrats hate vehemently.

On another front, Dr. Fauci who contracted Covid – even after the shot – just had a re-infection. He says that this time it’s worse than before but that everyone should take the jab despite this turn of events. To this I would say “To what end?”

It seems that the Democrats dominoes are beginning to fall, and these fanatical subversive killers are being exposed as perverts and insurrectionists, and outright criminals. Take Hunter Biden for example – everyday now the sexual exploits he had on his laptop are appearing on the internet everywhere. It seems he fancies himself a stud. He can do as he pleases but the fact that he has made himself a hostage to corrupt governments who are obviously blackmailing his father to the tune of billions of taxpayers’ dollars.  

Mass killings are taking place around the globe by hate filled individuals daily to say nothing of the war and worldwide conflicts taking place. Natural disasters are also happening everywhere and according to the worldwide news – famine will follow. You would be wise to prepare, for no one knows the day nor the hour when we will be raptured. One thing is for sure, that those who are taken way are only those who have received Christ as savior. So, if you are not ready, take care to receive Christ today. 

If you are a news junkie like me, make sure you do your due diligence to know what is true or not and you need to rely on the Holy Spirit to know truth when you read or hear it. The Holy Spirit that is given by God when you receive Christ and is the revealer of all truth. As time goes on, this same Holy Spirit has been prophesied in the book of Joel……. “And in those days, I will pour out my Spirit on all flesh……” (to make Christians aware of the closeness of the rapture?) 

When the Holy spirit has come, He will lead you into all truth. Wisdom to discern the times will ensue. Then, “When wisdom enters your heart, and knowledge is pleasant to your soul, discretion will preserve you; understanding will keep you.” “Happy is the man who finds wisdom, and the man who gains understanding.” There is also the added benefit of spiritual discernment.

I am convinced that this out pouring is happening among Christian people everywhere. Those closest to the Lord will be used in various ways to participate in the last great harvest of souls, souls that will be transformed and whisked away from planet earth just before all hell breaks loose. But, at the same time, those who want nothing to do with God will become impervious to the truth and be given over to a reprobate mind.

“You shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free”

Book review.

“Overcomer” is my latest read. This little book by Dr. David Jeremiah is filled with wisdom and powerful scripture verses, verses I have used with great results in dealing with life’s problems. Instinctively, I’ve used these and other verses throughout my Christian life and have never failed to get a good night’s rest in spite of the calamity and uncertainty swirling about everywhere in the world.

Despite the happenings in the world and closeness of the rapture I may still try to get my book (manuscript) published. It is not unlike the popular “Conversations with God” a popular book published years ago. The difference is that I experienced a good number of miracles that can’t be explained away – repeatedly. The title of my manuscript is “Miracles, Signs and Wonders.”

TRACT

DID YOU KNOW?

There are many fearful things happening in the world today. Do you wonder what’s going and why?

Did you know that the Bible will tell you why we are living in such chaotic times? It is all because we’ve turned our backs on our Great and Mighty Creator – God, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, Jehovah.

Think about it, when was the last time you heard the words Sin, Remorse or Repentance. 

When the Apostles asked Jesus what would be the signs of his coming again, He replied, “There shall be wars and rumors of war, 

According to Jesus’ words we are living in that time period.

Never before in the history have we been able to destroy the entire population on earth. Can you say Nuclear war? 

Bigger and more violent earthquakes are happening everywhere on the face of the earth.

Pestilence is everywhere. Diseases and STDs are rampant with as many as 50% of Americans affected by one form or another. 

The Love of many shall grow cold.
