We all go through trials and tribulations – even us Christians. Illness, loss and disappointment often overtake us when we least expect it. In fact, there are a million things that can happen to us during life’s journey, – some good – some bad. When bad things happen to us we have to decide how to let it affect us. 

When things are going our way, we have a tendency to forget all about God and most people even fail to thank Him for our food – (especially in a restaurant setting). While many third world countries barely get enough to eat and basically live in huts, or hovels and even on the streets. While many people in third world countries struggle to survive, most Americans have a tendency to whine when we fail to have three meals a day topped with dessert.

I’m not one to complain about my lot in life (and believe me it hasn’t been easy.) I’ve also had many mountaintop experiences for which I am eternally grateful. Although I enjoyed a topsy turvy career in the movie business I had to pay my dues too – even as a Christian. 

Presently, in attempting to make a movie I’ve never run up against such opposition in my life! So apparently it wasn’t in the cards for me to do and I’m throwing in the towel. It appears God has other plans for me. No, being a Christian isn’t easy. 

As I come up against obstacles such as not being able to acquire funding for my film’s I just count my blessings and go on with life – which is much more than just achieving one’s aspirations. But I spite of this, I’d rather be a follower of Christ than anything else and just being a movie actor/ writer and director pales in comparison. Although I’ve been blessed in various ways, receiving Christ is by far the greatest good that ever happened in my life. That relationship I’ve had with my Creator has helped carry me through numerous trials and tribulations.  Yes, life can be daunting even for Christians.  

The Bible warns us that we will have trials and tribulations, to test us and make us stronger. And so, we call out to God for strength to overcome adversity which is sure to come in everyone’s life. For some luke warm or new Christians trials and tribulations are usually hard to take especially when Satan taunts us about these and other calamities, but Jesus warned us and commanded, “Take up your cross and follow me.” 

Then, on top of these trials and tribulations – there is the rejection we Christians face on all sides. The book of second Timothy warns us explicitly that others and even family members will turn against us, even though it makes no sense for other non – Christians  to shun someone who cares for them and their sense of well-being. They seem to think that we Christians are just odd balls whom they just can’t figure out because they have been blinded by the Evil One (although sometimes we bring these things upon ourselves for the hypocrisy we display.) 

Because of Christ I treat my neighbors with dignity and respect even though they may shun me. But then again, the Bible warns us that this too is going to happen especially in the Last Days – it’s good to know what to expect from others as followers of Christ.

Jesus did nothing to harm others, in fact he was always blessing and healing them of their infirmities. Yet they nailed Him on a cross after beating Him to a bloody pulp for no reason at all.  The only explanation is that His persecutors were blinded by Satan as well and it was fore ordained by God the Father that He would die for our sins not His own – He had none.

It can be especially hurtful when our own children turn against our Christian values and side with worldly philosophies, but I’m not surprised by ignorance nor avoidance even when it involves a wayward offspring.

Being followers of Christ, we should expect adversity to happen since Jesus warned us of this, “In this life you shall have many trials and afflictions, but fear not for I have overcome them all,”  But we must remember that this life is but a drop on the bucket of eternity plus, we Christians have an inner peace “a perfect peace that surpasses all understanding “and should be grateful for it.  Because of understanding of scripture,  

It won’t be long now until we will be with our maker and so we are encouraged by Holy Scripture. “Therefore, we do not lose heart. Even though our outward man is perishing, yet the inward man is being renewed day by day. For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, is working for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory, while we do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal”.

Latest Book:

The book I’m finishing up was very revealing about how the National News Media often distorts the truth. Especially when it comes to politics. Although MSM reporters are supposed to be unbiased in reporting the news, they seldom are – especially in present times. They seem to have even been given license to tell outright lies to push their agenda. Is it any wonder that well-read citizens can’t believe anything they say anymore?

These reporters must think we “deplorables” (as Hillary Clinton calls us) are illiterate or just plain stupid. The irony in that way of thinking is that they are the ones in kings clothing and their followers prove that point with their mode of dress, outrageous behavior and tattooed eyeballs.

In the last half of this book titled “SLANTED” our veteran news reporter Sharyl Attkisson has given us incidents of outright lies that were actually reported in prominent American newspapers recently. 

An example of this is, 

Oct. 18, 2016 In the Washington Post piece not labeled opinion or analysis, Stuart Rothenberg incorrectly reports that Trumps path to an electoral college victory is “nonexistent.” 

Sorry to say, but many Democrats are experts in that area of life as many have sold their souls to the devil for monetary gain and power.

My demanding dad hated lies and would always tell us children not to lie to him – and we didn’t. He didn’t tolerate fools, laziness nor apathy either. Looking back, I can appreciate his harsh attitude toward this and our other indiscretions.

As innocent and innocuous some lies can be, did you know there will be no liars in the hereafter? Let me quote a verse of scripture for you – “ But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.” Rev 21:8 . KJV.

You will notice that along with liars are a litany of other sins that God will judge. Yes, God is love but he hates sin and not the sinner.

Why then do most people take the sin of lying so lightly that lying has become the norm, especially from politicians and the news media? I suppose it’s the easiest way to sway opinion one way or another. Today the atmosphere is so poisoned with lies that we must take everything said to us with a grain of salt. Lying has gotten so bad that Newspapers are faltering, newsmen are losing their jobs and TV news is barely hanging on to its audience. CNN one of the biggest offenders and is in the process of being sold and Fox news a conservative favorite has crossed over the line in joining the radical left in its opinions. 

With the President fighting for truth in voting we are being bombarded with falsehoods from the very media that pretends to have our best interests in mind. They have been infiltrated by radical naysayers, some of whom deny common sense just to win notoriety while others deny their obvious gender, preferring to waddle in the muck and putrid mire of sin and against nature and God. Can we trust these perverts to disseminate truth to us?

With eyes that are blinded by Satan, unsaved people just can’t help themselves. They lie and cover that lie with another and yet another, and their only excuse is “I misspoke” or “I can’t remember” – meaning to say they can’t remember the lie they told in the first place. This has happened repeatedly in the courts of the land by ruthless and cunning politicians and supposed law men. (It could be possible that God is letting us suffer under the rule of tyrants and the uncertainty of the times in which we live.) 

Lies have hurt untold millions. They have destroyed the livelihoods of some, and incarcerated others-based on false testimony. Is it any wonder that one of the Ten Commandments is “Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor”? President Trump has just exonerated General Michael Flynn and the Democrats are furious. May all their lies and deceit unravel before their eyes. Lying is not a trite foolish habit – it can even cause death and in the hereafter, it can cause exclusion unless we receive Christ and repent.

With no sense of right or wrong atheists, agnostics and other assorted perverts are foisting their perversions on the American public by trying to change our laws.

In the recent election – (which I and many others watched very closely), wholesale lies, and fraud were perpetrated on the American public, bringing about the most grievous election in American history. “God is not mocked for whatsoever a man reapeth; that shall he also sow.” And it looks like right now they are willingly sowing destruction. My warning to such people is, “Be sure your sins will find you out.” Let’s just hope it is sooner rather than later.

If an election can be won by fraud as it was in Venezuela and Cuba, we can expect our country to follow them into the abyss of deprivation. If everyday thugs and liars are left to run our country, you can bet they will run it into the ground like Chavez, Maduro and Castro have theirs.

It should be obvious to everyone in the country that Trump won the election in a landslide. Even a blind man could see it. But no, the leftist, elitists, sexual perverts and power brokers insist that they won the election and are carrying on as if they did so. Chances are that even the Supreme Court will find it hard to dislodge them their folly and even when they finally throw in the towel (if they do) there will likely be anarchy in the streets – on a grand scale. The military may have to arrest the subversives and all who tried to thwart the will of the American people and they may have to be taken to the Guantanamo Naval Base Stockade.

By slowly infiltrating the country with godlessness and their foolish ideas of there being an actual entity known as mother nature, various human sexes, weird fashion practices and other “shades of grey” ideology – the left has all but destroyed our moral fiber and welcomed in wholesale sin and rebellion throughout our country. But ironically when was the last time you heard the word sin? You seldom – if ever – hear it from the pulpits of America these days. The objective of wimpy church leaders is to not make any waves and keep the congregants happy with extracurricular activities. In some churches even the Holy Spirit is used for amusement rather than discernment and strength. Speaking in “tongues” “laughing in the spirit.” does us no good and rather than making us victorious makes us victims of self-deception. Why some churches stay open is beyond me, maybe it’s the money.

Unless we find firm footing in the pages of the Bible we are doomed. We must take it upon ourselves to be well informed and correct about doctrine for our own sense of well being and power to do evangelism with the right motives.

At present our country stands on the precipice of self-destruction and still we don’t and won’t repent en-masse – while no one is preaching the need for it. So, “If the sinner scarcely be saved where will the sinner stand?”

P.S. 

I jus began reading a book by Senator Ted Cruz. The title is “One Vote Away” – How a Single Supreme Court Seat Can Change History. – And in this election that may very well be the case.

Poor rich President Trump. Now here is a man who besides his narcissism (and what leader of men doesn’t display narcissism?) had no need to become involved in the rough and tumble world of politics but did so anyway. Whether to bolster his self-esteem or because he truly loves America only God knows.

He ran with the big dogs all his life, and they made him feel at home. In spite of that, his alter ego only let him go so far in the decadence of that privileged crowd. He seemed to live an opulent lifestyle up to a certain point and but showed evidence of humility in spite of it – often helping others less fortunate in various ways.

I know of a certain retired woman whose father was a partner of the President’s father who together owned a number of movie theatres way back when Donald was a teenager. She knew the Donald personally and says that he was always a gentleman. Yes mam, no sir and such. Everyone knows he doesn’t drink or abuse drugs – why he doesn’t even smoke. The two vices he has are Coca Cola and beautiful women. Other than that, he is perfectly human in what few other vices remain.

That is why it’s hard to understand why a certain segment of society hates him so much. Could it be that because when he ran with the crowd at the height of his popularity, he was privy to their evil shenanigans and kept tabs with his razor-sharp clear-thinking mind. He didn’t like what he saw, and he thought of a better way of doing things. It took him a long time to decide to run for president and when he did, he was the laughingstock of the elitists in our society. They just couldn’t take him seriously, but they most assuredly thought he might expose them for the criminals they were. He knew of their propensity for lawless behavior.

During the debates, he began calling the political cabal out in public – on television. That was unheard of in a day when hypocrisy and bold-faced lies ruled in public debates. The Left began to fear for their pollical futures. Immediately they sought ways to discredit him before he could expose their criminality and they nearly succeeded in destroying him. The Washington political machine had become one of the most self-serving and corrupt in the history of the United States of America. 

If you look back over the years of the corruption of most presidents you will find that they were self-serving, drug addled, pompous hypocrites. The most recent ones advocating for infanticide, homosexuality, and pedophilia. These adherents continue to try to foist their belief system on right thinking society. They seem to not understand that we will one day have to give account to our Creator. He will even judge us for every idle word. God did nor even spare the angels which are condemned to the pits of hell which burns with everlasting fire. What makes the evil and perverted hordes that inhabit society from top down think they can get away with such evil acts?

After winning the presidency Trump found opposition everywhere he turned and had to fire the huge firewall Obama had installed one by one – making him look radical and impulsive. But he was right in every case in doing so. Obama had injected the criminal element over the years in hopes of tuning the country into bizzarro land where perverts, communists and radical Muslims would rule. 

After four years of fighting to save our country from insider trading and outright theft by firing left leaning criminals and liars while treading water to keep his head above it, he managed to survive and instill good govern practices and turn our country in the right direction. A lot of good was done during his four-year tenure for the American people. People everywhere are parading by the tens of thousands if not millions in many big cities to show their support for the President. President Trump wept at the sight of the millions of people who continue to support him.

I know some who would say that he is a sinner but who isn’t pray tell?  “If we say we have no sin we call God a liar and the truth is not in us.” “All though all men are liars, God is not”. That is exactly why Christ had to come in the flesh – to take away our sin- something we are all incapable of. Sad to say, I have relatives who despise the poor man – and that for no reason at all! The news media also vilifies President Trump – who has only done what he could for the country – and that – with no pay. Who works for no pay? In fact, people go into politics to better their way of life and often come out of the experience with millions in overseas bank accounts. Still, some find things to fault the President for. My brain washed relatives obviously haven’t read Holy Scripture and are groping around blindly following the Democrats who are only wolves in sheep’s clothing and the worst part is that they consider themselves “Christians”. I’m so ashamed of them and others like them. 

On the other hand, there are some so called Christians who are gaining notoriety from Trump’s latest run for the Presidency. With forced laughter Kenneth Copeland mocks the media, (who calls Joe Biden the President Elect) never stopping to think about how foolish he is being perceived. Another example is Paula White who claims to be an “advisor to President Trump” who was romping and stomping behind the podium recently, calling on angels from Africa to come and help Trump. Theirs is an outrageous ploy to get followers to fill her coffers with tithes and offerings. It’s surprising that no one in the Christian community has started an illicit Trump defense foundation.

Through voter fraud the Democrats claimed to have won the presidency and the media backs them up in this fiasco. It’s as plain as the nose on your face that Trump won the Presidency in a landslide. Still though today his presidency is in jeopardy of being stolen in spite of overwhelming support and votes that were plundered and/ or destroyed. Every day now new evidence is brought forth indicating that this was the biggest election fraud in the history of the United States and it will take the Supreme Court to right the wrong that’s been done to the American people.

While I don’t put Trump nor any other man on a pedestal, I know a good man when I see one.

My hope is that God will turn things around and that that His enemies are exposed for the criminals they are and sent to Guantanamo to finish out their sordid and evil lives.

The Godless Democrats are doing all they can to alter the U.S. constitution and our way of life. Through them Satan has gotten the upper hand in American politics. It seems that all the Democrats care about is maintaining power and getting rich at the expense of the American people.

The writer/film maker Dinesh D’Souza rightly says in his latest book “United States of Socialism” and I quote, “Sure, socialism presents a temptation, the same temptation that TV evangelists hold out to their gullible audiences. They offer their followers the temptation of paradise, freedom from the normal drudgery and travails of life, with manna from heaven dropping into their laps. This is what the promise too. The main difference is that the televangelist promises these wonders in the next life; the socialist promises them in this one. The only thing you have to give up is your ownership of yourself. including your right to keep what is yours, your personal autonomy and dignity and your independence of mind.” “In both cases, the enterprise is driven by lust for money and lust for power, the libido dominandi that St. Augustine warns about. In principle, no less than in practice, socialism is the ideology of thieves and tyrants. As for people that fall for the temptation, they are connivers attracted by the rip off scheme. But they end up as suckers because the scheme is not designed to benefit them.” The socialist scheme is designed to benefit the perpetrators. “Viewing themselves as smart – the smartest people in society- they feel entitled to be the ones who exercise power, who tell others what to do.”

Going a step further they will do anything to retain power even to the point of killing their adversaries. The love of money and power is indeed the root of much evil. (my quote). 

We conservatives are fighting for our very lives and existence. President Trump is fighting to prevail in the presidential election which could still be stolen from the working-class American people.

I just finished reading a book with the title “Abuse and Power” by Carter Page. It is about political corruption in our government that runs deep and casts a wide net with it’s allure and lust for money and power. Carter Page was made a scapegoat by those in power to undermine President Trump’s character and his election four years ago. Carter was only a volunteer for President Trump’s first presidential campaign, but he had all the right credentials for exploitation.

Many others were indited on trumped up charges and they too suffered loss of finances and friends – some even ending up in jail. While their families suffered – the deep state rejoiced in their short-lived victories. Rightly enough these people were exonerated and set free once the deep state was proven to be allied in falsely accusing the president of treasonous acts – the very same acts they themselves were committing even as we speak.

The Democratic party (since it is a Godless entity) has no qualms about ruining other people’s lives and businesses. They give radical groups license to do set businesses ablaze after they loot them. Worse than that, they keep law enforcement from doing their jobs in arresting them. Because of that, these radicals are becoming fearless to the point of assaulting and even killing the police officers themselves.

Because of liberal policies, the American people are demanding to go their own way with no regard for law and order. Pedophilia, abortions, and perversions that even animals shy away from – are commonplace today, so much so that laws are being passed to allow these perversions to become legal. Our political system has gotten out of order and the rule of law no longer applies. Satan holds sway over our Democrat leaders, and they are as determined as ever to take God out of our system of Government.

We believers quote Chronicles 7:14 but since we’ve let God be kicked out of our government, learning institutions and even churches and God cannot bless such a wicked and Godless society and He will not answer their prayers. 

Rev. Graham said it over a year ago, and again I quote, “If God let’s us continue in the sinful way we are going (the USA) he will have to apologize to Sodom and Gomorrah.”

Are we entering the Tribulation period the Bible speaks of? We all know that the tribulation period is all about the end of the age and persecution will abound. Well, I believe we are entering the early stages of that time period, a time when laws will be turned against us in force. Carter Page must have felt that he had gone through a time warp in which nothing he said was listened too. This well-meaning patriot lost respect, work, and friends all because the Democrats wanted to retain power by impeaching president Trump. But worse than that, the leftist Democrats are demanding that we kill children (God’s gift to mankind) even outside the womb. Not only that, but they would have us declare that pedophilia and homosexuality are normal human behavior!

Now, because we’ve let the extreme left run roughshod over our nation God is letting us stew in the folly of our own making. That, along with extreme weather patterns unheard of numbers of hurricanes and earthquakes makes a right-thinking person wonder if the Tribulation period can be far behind.

Today, the Christian byword is Pre -curser, but as the days slip by with no change in attitude nor repentance – things will only get worse – according to the word of God. If that isn’t the tribulation period come upon us, then I don’t know what is. What if anything, has to occur before we slip into the maelstrom of the Tribulation period? Does the Holy Spirit have to be taken out of the way completely? 

Although the antichrist in bodily form walks among us, we fail to realize that our days of freedom are numbered and are fast slipping away. I would highly recommend that we repent of our sins of self-righteousness and apathy.

Never has a single man evoked such hatred and divisiveness as President Trump – except of course, for Jesus Christ himself. The self-righteous, pompous religious and community leaders of the day hated Jesus – who only went around healing people and doing good. So, it is with President Trump. 

Some claim he is nothing but a dreadful sinner who likes beautiful women. But show me a man who doesn’t admire a woman who takes care of herself and I’ll show you a warp minded individual who would prefer to lie with another man. While it’s true that a man should exercise self-control – most men can’t, because they haven’t been “born again”. Only the Holy Spirit can help overcome these self- centered thoughts of lust and even then, it’s the hardest thing to do simply because as men we’re hard wired that way – we desire the company of women.

What I’m trying to say is that all things being equal, all men are sinners born to propagate and survive, but they expect this man to be perfect – something no man can be. To these sanctimonious and self-righteous people, we, along with Trump are all unwashed deplorable people the dregs of society. I would ask, how so? We conservatives don’t burn building and house or go around killing people randomly, or cold cocking the elderly and infirm and raping children, neither do we endorse the taking of an innocent babies life just for sport and the money that can be made from selling it’s parts. 

Stop and think about it, since these so -called intellectuals have infiltrated all of society and they have done great harm to our way of life by doing away with bible-based morality and the Ten Commandments. Since there is always the exception, I would grant you that some under the guise of conservatism are just as capable of wrongdoing as liberals. But overall – liberals have gone off the deep end in making America a cesspool of anarchy and senseless crime.

In spite of his narcissism and outspokenness I can’t think of anyone who has done so much good for the country as President Trump. He is a little coarse too, but it seems that that is the only way to disarm and make fools of the self – righteous liberals who have been in office long enough to become millionaires through their shady dealings and outright theft. We need to clean house starting at the top. We need to drain the swamp of corruption that exists in Washington.

Now I would ask you, why would anyone in their right mind want to vote for known criminals and murderers of infants? Why? It just doesn’t make sense. The only way a person can think that way is to let demonic induced thoughts have sway in their minds making them blind to the evils they perpetuate.

The extreme left are Godless individuals with no moral compass and if we don’t stop them in their tracks then we can expect things to only get further out of hand. Look at the way insurrectionists and criminals have taken over the big cities. Burning and looting with no one to stop them, and in some cases being rewarded with free license to do so.

Also, the left has propped up a mentally challenged Joe Biden – someone they can manipulate to do their bidding. Having deceived people all his life for monetary gain and never giving thought about his having to give account to God, he has violated his conscience (if he ever had one) to the point where the man is a living joke in the eyes of every one – even his handlers. 

The first debate reminded me of the boxing matches of the past as in the “Rumble in the Jungle”, 

or “Thrilla in Manilla”.

The debate was more like an assault on our sensibilities with neither man making any significant headway, albeit Joe was lighter on his heavy feet than I thought he would be. (He must have been fueled up with mind altering drugs.) In any case I could see Biden having to take thought and correcting himself throughout the debate – if you can call it that. He counter punched as best he could but never answered the uppercuts Trump threw at him about his drug addled son and Burisma. Biden also ducked and weaved at the haymakers Trump threw at him and never answered with blows of his own instead he covered by mentioning covid over and over as if was a planned event for a time just as this.

Trump had “Ole slimy” Joe cornered and instead of doing a “rope a dope” on him he let him bob and weave and slither as best he could with the flabby self-confident champion (Trump) letting him slip the punches.

The debate was just what most of us expected it to be with no serious damage done by either side. All the things that could be said were said before hand and all the revelations were either redundant or ineffective. 

My advice to the “Champ” is to let “Ole” Joe wear himself out by spilling the beans on state of his mental health…Let him talk and defeat himself the next time….If there is a next time. 

Book Review:

I just finished reading “Revolution – Trump, Washington and we the people” by KT McFarland and what a writer she is.

This highly educated woman is one of the best political writers I’ve ever read. While other writers try to impress the reader with their intelligence and or their knowledge, she writes for the ordinary layman in terms he can understand, and she only states the facts, (been there – done that).

She began her political career working for Henry Kissinger. She has worked for other heads of state in other capacities as well and understands Washington politics and she knows all the ins and outs of the political realm. 

If ever there was an American woman who could lead this country in the right direction it is, she. 

But the primary reason is that she is a straight shooter and pulls no punches.

There is a new paradigm in Christian circles these days, (In science and philosophy, a paradigm is a distinct set of concepts or thought patterns, including theories, research methods, postulates, and standards for what constitutes legitimate contributions to a field. Wikipedia ) about the rapture and the end times it’s being postulated by self-ordained prophets who aren’t afraid to make assertions about the timing of these two great events. In doing so, they are inadvertently (or maybe on purpose) confusing what remains of the Christian church.

These new age prophets’ say that we may have as many as ten or more years before the rapture happens and they give you reasons for thinking this way – disregarding what others have said in the recent past in particular that the rapture was or is imminent. This then would make all other end time teachers obsolete if not heretical. On the other hand, if what they postulate, is true – the timing would buy us more to evangelize the obstinate, uninformed and /or foolish. 

We all know of wolves in sheep’s clothing who espouse various heresies, and this only adds to the confusion. Men and women alike, are taking about visions and dreams and NDE’s and wrapping themselves in supposed mantels of biblical prophets. One such woman named Emma Stark who appears on U tube  has altered her appearance to stand out among the crowd as many of these people are apt to do rather than just letting their light shine in love for others they try to elevate themselves into would be celebrities.

These so-called prophets are especially scary when they try to draw attention to themselves by doing and saying doubtful things and we must know scripture to have discernment to avoid falling for heretical theories. 

We realize that the Bible does say that at the end times in the book of Joel that God would pour out His Spirit on all flesh and that some would prophecy – and in this case – making them prophets, – later day prophets so they say, – among whom there are heretics who deceive the ignorant usually for monetary gain and recognition.

The idea that we may have a few more years to go before the rapture takes place puts us in the precarious situation of letting down our guard. For us to believe that things could get worse as we see the tribulation period just around the corner is intimidating to say the least. Who can imagine how much worse things can get? It would literally be hell on earth.

They seem to be coming from out of no -where. Are these new age “prophets” as they now call themselves for real? Latching onto this latest “revelation” – if it can be called that – these modern day prophets are proliferating at a phenomenal rate, especially after the publication of Johnny Enlow’s book “The End of the World, (subtitled – as we know it.) Clever little subtitle don’t ya think? 

What made me re-consider what Mr. Enlow’s said about the end times in the interview on “That’s Supernatural” with  Sid Roth  was when he took a nearby shofar and said, when I blow this shofar you will feel a tingling in your left arm and it will go numb and you will be able to carry out your mission in life to save the final remnant of unbelievers. Then he drew it to his lips and blew. Braaaaaahhhhhhhh! This, in and of itself falls into the category of witchcraft or wishful thinking.  

Remember that some whom Jesus confronted said, “but we shared your word and blah blah blah,…” to which He answered “Depart from me – for I never knew you.” So, I take that to mean that some Christians do and say things that are untrue so be careful…be very careful to know scripture and abide by it. The best a person can do is to be prepared by putting our priorities in order, God first, family second, friends and neighbors and then all others. 

Jesus told us that no man knows the day nor the hour of His return to take us home and that we should always be ready. He also said that we should go on with life doing what we must in order to survive. 

About Bill,

I try to make it to the Naples Pier at least once a week. It’s good to step away from the keyboard and other jobs around the house – that never seem to get caught up with anyways. The sight of the wide expanse of the Gulf of Mexico tranquilizes the mind every time and I love it – the water is different every time I go to see my “friends” and who knows but what I may even catch a fish or two – maybe even a humanoid. After all, I am a fisher of men as well.

On this occasion I met a fellow whom I had never met before and he was just as outspoken as I (it turns out he was a salesman of cemetery plots.) Was that a sign? Since he was catching Spanish Mackerel one after another, I sided up near by – to no avail. Nevertheless, I began to feel him out to see if he was a believer and low and behold, he said he was a Mennonite who was looking for a Bible believing church as soon as this Covid thing ended. I probed even deeper and he said he had received Christ at the tender age of seven. We hit it off and exchanged business cards and I left him to see the other “regulars” at the shelter at end of the pier.

Bill was there like I figured he’s be, and it seems he’s taking a liking to me. His face lit up when he saw me coming and we began chatting right away even though we were seated on opposite sides of the shelter which is at least a good twelve feet away. Although I felt compelled to become the former hippy’s friend, he was still reluctant to give God a try and when he tried to say that liberals were truly concerned about others and tried to do good, I countered with what the bible has to say about that and quoted, “ There is non righteous no not one, for all have sinned and come short of the glory of God….” Just then a young couple came between us pushing a stroller. As they heard me say that – it was as if they stopped for just a split second – after overhearing my comment so I continued “That’s why Jesus had to die for our sins” just emphatic enough so that they could hear it too. If I’ve learned anything about the word of God, it’s that it doesn’t return to Him void. Bill blanched and had nothing more to say about that.

From here on in, I’m gong to be stumping for President Trump because if sleepy Joe wins Christians will be muzzled, abortions will continue unabated and indiscriminately and America will become hell on earth.

Humanity is confined to thinking “rational” thoughts, that is what we can see, touch, hear, smell and taste. Science is the closest we humans can delve into hypothesis and theory. Beyond that is the spiritual realm. One of the first to acknowledge this realm was Job in the Holy Bible. Then came Enoch who was transported to heaven without having died. Then there were other men of God who also experienced this closeness to their/our creator. We refer to them as prophets, they are men to whom God revealed the things to come.

In the Old Testament, Moses opened this new awareness to us when he talked to God face to face (as it were) on Mt. Sinai and gave us the Ten Commandments as a result and that for our own good.

God seems to be very selective about those He chooses to “talk too.” Not all who claim that God talks to them really do, and you can usually tell who they are by their “fruits”.

Today we have the Holy Spirit who teaches us ALL things and gives us Spiritual Discernment. This gives us the ability to think outside the box, primarily through scripture. 

When we discover that there is life outside this earthly realm we inevitably expand our horizons and look to the future with expectations of a more fulfilling future, but here is a caveat in receiving this intimate information and insight and that is, one must receive Christ who makes the Holy Spirit available to each and every believer.

Of course, there are those who think of doing harm to others and only think of pleasuring themselves continuously through acquiring wealth and power over others. This is a clear manifestation of demonic activity in one’s life. And this applies to church goers as well.

Consider the president of a Christian University who was caught for with his pants down and has a wife who loved pleasure so much that she slept with any young man who caught her fancy. Disgraced, they were asked to step down from their lofty position and given a ten million severance pay to do so. This man and woman obviously weren’t thinking about the things of God and could only see (with wanton eyes) the things that would bring pleasure. This overtly hefty man and wife who live in the lap of luxury have some explaining to do – but really have no excuse for their varied sins. 

Yes, I know we are all sinners but come on, a Christian college president! And this charade was carried on for years. People like that give Christianity a bad name. Some people in high places can even quote scripture and try to make us believe they are pious. Is it any wonder atheists and even fools ridicule us? It is a dangerous thing to put fallible man on a pedestal to look up to and admire. 

It is important to think outside the box of human reasoning we are confined to. We must look at things with spiritual discernment. The bible says we can justify our every inconsistency. And so, faith comes into play as we read God’s Word and act upon it. The more we study the more insight we gain into the spiritual realm. Things that really matter, all else eventually passes away.

Every Apostle and Prophet were given this ability, some more than others. When a person makes it his objective to pursue the things of God they inevitably draw closer to Him and He will in  turn, reveal Himself to them and strengthen them with resolve to become overcomers with the ability to think outside the box. In fact, the scriptures admonish us, “Be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind.” and “Let this mind be in you that was in Christ Jesus.”

The more “spiritual” and by that, I mean, a person that is finely attuned to the things of God -is the one who is in constant contact with Him. That isn’t to say that God reveals everything to them, but endows them with special insight so that they might become all that He would have them to be and makes the person in question a conduit to help others understand – leading the way by example.

And so, we study to show ourselves approved, workmen that need not be ashamed – rightly dividing the Word of God”. Thus, the time inevitably comes when fear of men, fear of the future and all else fades into the foggy midst of doubt and despair.

NOTE:

I saw Bill since my last article and he acted as if he was still my friend, albeit he was leaving the pier in disgust because of a bunch of rowdy young people at the end of the pier where he likes to hang out.

Incidentally, the pier and surrounding beach were jam packed over the Labor Day weekend. Many of them from Miami and New York. Some were wearing masks. 

Also, my nephew now claims to have received Christ over ten years ago and even got baptized. I hope so. But it’s funny how he managed to keep it a secret for so long. But then again, some in the church are just as secretive about their faith as he.

One last thing – I would remind you that the presidential election is drawing close and although we may not agree with everything Trump does or says, he appears to be the person standing up for Christian values. The Godless Democrats care nothing about values and the sanctity of life and everything they touch is set up for destruction. 

So, if you like our country the way it once was, the police to help keep us safe, your church building and congregants and singing and hugging – do yourself a favor and vote for him.

Waiting for that blessed hope, the rapture of the church.

Most of us have heard the saying, “You can lead a horse to water, but you cannot make him drink.” The same can be said for human beings. You can lead them to living water, but you cannot make them drink. 

Jesus said, “I am the living water, he who comes to me will never thirst again.” By that he meant, that we all thirst for clarity, hope and consolation, but although we thirst for the life-giving water He offers – yet many refuse to drink for one reason or another.

Although my friend Bill at the pier has let me give him countless rides home and let me pray for him, he doesn’t seem to be responding to my promptings and asks no questions. Maybe he thinks he’s something special because I always encourage, overlook a person’s foibles and treat them like a friend. Like I said in the past, Bill is a highly educated man and I respect him for that. Also, he was a drummer and writer for a music magazine back in the day, (I enjoy talking to intelligent people) but like I said in my last article I in essence called him a fool for not believing in God by quoting the scripture that says, “The fool has said in his heart: there is no God.”

There seems to be something about drug addled liberals that take pride in not believing in God and they let you know it. The next time we meet up I will have to lay it all on the line once and for all not knowing what to expect, after all, you can lead a horse to water, but you cannot make them drink. Bill saw me yesterday from a distance walking out onto the pier and went around behind the snack bar to avoid bumping into me. I’ll just have to leave him in God’s hands as always. 

As most of you know, I’ve been an evangelical Christian for many years and have led numerous people to faith in Christ. Unlike some, who keep score I never felt it was gaining me any brownie points in doing so and I seldom if ever use the Roman Road tactic but instead rely on God’s prompting. 

After receiving Christ, I made it a point to learn all I could about this living water which for me was very gratifying.   

With this mindset, I been able to lead all seven of my siblings to faith in Christ and mentor them in understanding scripture since we were brought up in a broken home devoid of Godly things. I, being the eldest had to set the pattern for right behavior even though I faltered at times. I even baptized my baby sister in the ocean when she thought she had cancer which later proved to be malignant. She made her way to Florida from Michigan to have me baptize her after I led her to faith in Christ.

Today I found out that a nephew had just had an operation for stomach cancer, but the doctors couldn’t get it all taken out, so he will have to undergo chemotherapy. Amazingly, I had just been thinking about him this morning when I received the call from my “born again” younger brother who had received Christ ten years ago after much prompting by me. 

The first thing to enter my mind is – was this nephew saved? He claims to be a Christian but although he doesn’t smoke or drink nor use drugs, I was skeptical since although he is a good man, he never talked about God nor went to church.

Knowing this, I phoned him at the hospital, but he was indisposed. Since he is over a hundred miles away and that region is in lockdown because of Covid 19 I had to leave him a message. I made it a priority that he should know how to be saved – step by step and told him I would be praying for him. I’m sure he was glad to hear from me since I’m his favorite uncle. (At his urging I had portrayed Fagin in the musical “Oliver” for his drama class in the new auditorium in Eaton Rapids Michigan for graduation. Everyone was elated that a professional would step into that role in that place and the whole town turned out.) I received a standing ovation for the closing spotlight number. It was very gratifying for me too.

In any case, I hope my nephew will receive Christ and that his children follow suit, but I have yet to hear back from him. 

So yesterday was an unfruitful day, or so I thought. I had met a group of young people as I was preparing my gear to do some serious fishing and walked out onto the pier. After a few short minutes I saw the young lady with the teenaged group coming my way and when she finally reached me, I said, “What are you doing out here by yourself?” 

“They’re on the beach and swimming.” As she sauntered over to me.

“Looks like you just wanted to be alone with your thoughts” I replied.

As she approached, I could tell something was bothering her, “Do you want to tell me about it, maybe there’s something I can do?”

 “Nobody can do anything for me.” She whimpered as she began to cry.

“God can help you with anything.”

“My boyfriend dropped me yesterday – and I am deeply hurt.”

“Let me pray for you.”

“Please do.” As tears fell from her eyes.

I said a short prayer for the healing of her broken heart and after a few minutes she began telling me her life’s story. How that no one in her family had ever prayed for anything and that her grandmother was a Jehovah’s Witness and that her boyfriend worked for the Lutheran church!

I knew then that this was a spiritual battle, a divine appointment after I discerned what was happening. 

After talking awhile, she regained he composure. 

Now, I was concerned for the state of her soul. “These are perilous times in which we live and who knows what will happen next. Maybe even the rapture. 

I asked her about her spiritual life, and she said she had none. I told her about God and Jesus Christ and quoted scripture. Soon I asked if she would like to receive Christ as her savior and she replied, “Yes, but I’ve never prayed before and don’t know how.” 

“Just repeat after me – if you feel led…..”Father in heaven, I confess that I have ignored you. Please forgive me. I now receive Jesus Christ into my heart and life, so change me and give me peace.”

As much as I like to eat fish, for the fifth or sixth time I went out on the pier to find that the fish weren’t biting, and it was blistering hot in the sun. So once again, I was just in time to give Bill a ride to his apartment. Bill was in the shelter at the end of the pier as is his usual ritual for the past twenty years. Being debilitated because of stomach problems he spends the early part of each day fishing. I was beginning to wonder if God had sent me there in response to Bill’s prayers and asked him so as we walked from the pier to my car. Bill’s reply was, “I’m an atheist who doesn’t believe in a God who cares. If there is a God, He tried to kill me yesterday with a lightning strike.” Then I remembered that there was a violent lighting storm yesterday about this same time of day and he must have gotten caught in the rain on the way to his apartment.

After we mounted the car I said to Bill, “Do you know what the Bible says about people that don’t believe in God?”

“No”

“It says, “The fool has said in his heart there is no God.” 

Now I know that Bill isn’t a dummy, having aspired to be a medical doctor and was a pi beta kappa in college I just surmised from this that he was angry at God for his ailments – as so many people are. 

I followed up my defense with, “Haven’t you ever considered the wonder of man and woman and their ability to pro-create and about how plants and trees take in carbon dioxide and give off oxygen for us to breathe?” 

I followed up with the miracle of eyesight and asked, “Can you show me a scientist that can make the lowly egg already packaged in a shell?” I could have gone on and on, but I think he got the picture.

Bill was stuck dumb for an answer and was quiet for a little while as he mulled over some possible answers. But then he changed the subject altogether and proceeded to tell me how he doesn’t sleep, and lays awake every night with the television on till the wee hours of the morning.

Just then, we had reached his apartment and I was prompted to ask him if I could pray for him “Bill I’d like to pray for you. Would you mind?”

“Sure, why not, I need all the help I can get.” 

So, I proceeded to pray for Bill in a non-condescending way, after all, I had already called him a fool, “Heavenly Father, give Bill the rest and comfort he needs in Jesus name, Amen.” (Putting on a show of piety is not in my nature and so I make my prayers for others and myself – short and sweet.)

Bill thanked me as usual and hobbled away in deep thought as I drove away about my business.

There are millions of people just like Bill. People searching for answers for peace of mind and assurance but the last place they look is in the Bible.

Two days later and I’m out on the pier again, this time trying to catch some fish to eat.  As usual I encounter a retiree and I strike up a conversation. This healthy robust man begins telling me of his fears for his grandchildren what with all that’s taking place in our country. He claims to have studied law and went on and on about how the crazies were ruling the country and how there was chaos everywhere – to which I could only agree. 

After letting him have his say I asked him if he was a Christian. He said he was a Catholic – a lame one at that. This opened the door for me to tell him of my conversion experience with Christ and how I believed we were living in the Last Days. He quit trying to impress me with his doctorates and degrees and became intrigued by what I had to say. His visage said it all, “I didn’t know that!” – I had given him something to think about tonight. Maybe he’ll crack open the family bible that’s been gathering dust on the shelf.

By now I had rigged up my line and finally said goodbye. I walked toward the middle of the pier. But I no sooner get started and I see Bill come hobbling down the pier toward me. He sat on the bench where I had laid my fishing gear- a small tackle shoulder bag. I could tell he needed a ride home as sweat gathered on his brow, and again the fish weren’t biting so I offered him a ride. He let out a sigh of relief and said thank you.

I can only assume that God has been working this thing out, the timing was once again perfect.

Books to read.

As all my readers know, I usually have a book to recommend and this time one was sent to me written by one of them. 

It was a good read crisp and clean and better than most self – published work. 

The title of the book is “Out Giving God”, a book that started out to be a reality check on faith in God.

 I liked the book because it pulled no punches and didn’t gloss over or make excuses for failures in the life of a Christian.

Like so many, author Christians Russel Bonds was “saved at childhood”, grew up in a church going family and tried to do everything right. But the time came when he was finally tested, “These trials will show that your faith is genuine. It is being tested as fire tests and purifies gold—though your faith is far more precious than mere gold. So, when your faith remains strong through many trials, it will bring you much praise and glory and honor on the day when Jesus Christ is revealed to the whole world.” I Peter 1:7

This book is a good testimonial for those who are going through a rough patch in their faith.

You can order the book at www.jekandrusty.com.

(Over the years I’ve talked to some that had left the faith because things didn’t turn out the way they expected. If they had read scripture, they would have found that Jesus said, “Take up your cross and follow me.”)

The title to this article sounds like the title of an apocalyptic horror film. It is nighttime, shouting ensues from the crowds of young people rioting in the streets and gets ever louder as they march toward us carrying weapons and bricks. Overturned police cars are burning on the streets. This true to life movie is made up of highly dramatic scenes depicting sirens blaring from emergency vehicles and red and blue flashing lights. The police are lined up shoulder to shoulder with shields and truncheons as they make their way toward the terrorists.

On a side street several young black thugs are pummeling a helpless old wheelchair bound woman who happens to be white. A man wearing a Covid mask steps into the scene and having seen enough, pulls a handgun from behind his waistband and begins blasting away at the thugs who fall backward dead – one after another. The scene is reminiscent of a scene from the movie “Death Wish” starring Charles Bronson screened in the late sixties.

But wait a minute, before you protest this scene. This isn’t a scene from a movie, it is a scene from actual real life. The silent majority has had it and is fighting back with pent up fury retaliation can’t be far behind and civil war is beginning to look likely.  

Reality and the book of Revelation have converged and now the book of Revelation doesn’t seem too farfetched as it once was. It’s as if we – the present generations – are smack dab in the middle of the prophecies of that ominous book.

Not only has reality and the book of Revelation converged but politics and Christianity have merged as well with all out spiritual warfare in the offing. Grey areas have all but diminished and now it’s “in your face” confrontation where right is wrong and wrong is right and there is no  God. 

With the presidential election coming up we can expect chaos to escalate even further with the prompting and encouragement of Godless Democrats. The presidential election is only three months away and they are determined to win at all costs even with lawless distractions.

The newspapers – or what’s left of them are phasing out because of their outright lies and inability to report the facts and instead have been infiltrated by hard left writers seeking fame and fortune by reporting politically correct propaganda or even outright lies.

In the meantime, earthquakes, tsunamis, drought, floods, and famine are destroying whole communities and threaten to destroy a third of mankind while another third twiddles their thumbs in fear. The final third lives under a rock and couldn’t care less about the state of the nation or anyone else. They only want football season to finally open. But as of yesterday, the football season has been put off again because of a phantom virus (Covid19) relapse.

Common sense tells us that these things have always been and are self-correcting in time, but never in the life of the planet has everything gone out of whack at once. 

The only explanation is that there IS a Creator (God) who is very angry with mankind for taking His commandments so lightly. Commandments are not just suggestions to disregard on a whim and He gave them to us for our own good. But not only that, He gave us the capability to engage in the creative process by making babies, babies that we take for granted and kill by the tens of thousands every year – and they are a precious gift given to us by Him. Anyone would be greatly offended if you gave them a gift and you through it away like so much garbage. What an atrocity, what an afront to our benevolent and gracious creator. 

In reality, there is no other reason needed to destroy mankind. But God is longsuffering and going about salvaging those who will turn to Him in repentance. Perhaps that is why He doesn’t just destroy mankind completely. Perhaps our Devine Creator is letting these disasters happen to us to get our attention so that we might repent. It appears that we have done to little too late to be granted a reprieve and He had no option but to fulfill biblical prophecies of doom in our lifetimes. 

If God is who He says He is in the Bible, then He can and will do as He sees fit and so far He isn’t moving to alleviate our fear of the future and who can blame Him. We have no one to blame but ourselves for ignoring His admonitions and basic life rules. Furthermore, even pastors and clergy are wishy washy in their belief system and find loopholes in scripture for not calling for repentance from the pulpit, they themselves needing it just as much as the congregants.

Our desperate prayers are falling on deaf ears. God has seen enough and now it’s every man for himself individually – no more national repentance. 

Although small revivals are beginning to take place throughout the world it seems that God is going forward with prophetic scripture incrementally, but a man would have to be blind not to see the pieces of the prophetic puzzle coming together. 

Even though we know the things prophesied in the Bible must happen we must do our best to stem the tide of evil. Pedophilia should never be right. Abortion should never be right except in certain cases. Homosexuality should never be right. Murder should never be right – neither should theft, yet we permit, condone and embrace those things that are bringing our country to it’s collective knees while we should be using the windows of opportunity that we still have to warn others of their need of a savior before that opportunity fades away – never to be seen again.

With permission from this wonderful web site, I would like to remind you that this is an election year and that the state of our nation is at stake. The Godless Democrats are going to all they can to tear this country down and hand it over to Islam and the Communist party. It’s never enough to just pray, we must put feet on our prayers and do what we can to stem the tide of corruption and vote for who and what is right.   

Books

I just finished reading a great book titled “American Crusade” by Pete Hegseth. This man is right about all the evil that’s going on in our country and believes – like I do – that all right thinking people should do what they can to stem the present tide of corruption for the sake of our children and grandchildren.
