Baby Christians

      Baby Christians eat Pablum and Milk, they don't have Spiritual Teeth to chew Steak or even Potatoes. Of Course I speak of Spiritual Meat and Potatoes. There is nothing wrong with Spiritual Milk, it just won't put on the Spiritual Mind Muscle a Baby Christian needs to Grow. Grow we must. We need to Pray for Spiritual Understanding, we need to Read our Bibles and Devotionals, (reading a Devotional or Sunday School Lesson is good but it is not Substitute for Reading the Bible Daily). We need to attend "Good Preaching". Just Preaching won't do. We need Good Preaching, Good Bible Preaching. If you are stuck with a Namby-Pamby Preacher who is afraid to Present the Whole Gospel, find another Church. Finally we need to
Study to find ourselves approved. We need to attend Discipleship Training and Sunday School and attend conferences. If we don't do all these things we revert to Baby Christians.

      Many Baby Christians have been in your Church for 40, 50, 60 years. Many are Teaching Sunday School, playing in the band, singing in the Choir, or even Preaching a Sermon to you each Sunday. It may seen impossible that an 80 year old man can be a Baby Christian, but it is an every day reality. Paul was faced with the same problem in his day. 

1 Corinthians 3:1-2 (KJV) ¹  And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, even as unto babes in Christ.
²  I have fed you with milk, and not with meat: for hitherto ye were not able to bear it, neither yet now are ye able. Hebrews 5:11-13 (KJV) 

¹¹  ...…......seeing ye are dull of hearing.
¹²  For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach you again which be the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat.
¹³  For every one that useth milk is unskillful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe.

      Baby Christians underline their Sunday School lessons in their book, but the have to come back every Sunday for the same lesson. Time after time. It is very frustrating for a dedicated Teacher. Baby Christians sing in the Choir and they get the notes right but never hear the Words. Baby Christian Preachers even read the Words right out of the Bible from a Pulpit but the Words fly right over their head and never soak in.

      So how do you really know if you are a Mature Christian? One of the surest ways is knowing that you take every opportunity to Share the Gospel. Sadly some Christians, far too many, have never once shared the Gospel with any Lost Person whatsoever. Satan is not afraid of this kind of Christian. He is laughing at them. He will however take time to distract Baby Christians in their daily life with meaningless drivel and unproductive hobbies and activities to waste their time.
      Don't just ask a person if they go to Church, or if they are a Christian. It is too easy for them to mention a Church or a Denomination or tell you, "yes I was Baptized in 1974". That may sound like good information, but it won't tell you if they have a Personal Relationship with Jesus. "Do you Know Jesus as Your Personal Savior?", is the most decisive way to ask the Question.
       Mature Christian yearn to know the Bible and their Savior better. Psalm 42:1-2 (HCSB) ¹

 As a deer longs for streams of water, so I long for You, God.
²  I thirst for God, the living God. When can I come and appear before God?

      Finally a Mature Christian is willing to Forsake the Worldly things for Spiritual Truth and God's Will in their lives. For instance, in today's society, a Mature Christian has to Forsake and Disavow the Democrat and Socialist Parties. Both are as Anti-Christian as they can be. Democrats actually Boo God at their Conventions. They Support Murdering Babies in their Party Platform. They push normalizing homosexuality and recently even Pedophilia. They call for the legalization of Drugs. On and on, they support Outright Sin in one form or another. A True Christian cannot be associated with this form of debauchery. 

2 Corinthians 6:17 (KJV) ¹⁷  Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you,
      Don't settle for a Baby Portion. Go for the Big Platter of Meat and Potatoes. Milk of Kindness never hurts, but feed on Heavy Proteins and be ready to Witness for Christ!

Happy Birthday to Me!!!

      Yes, today I am a year older, but that won't be worth celebrating. What I plan to celebrate is getting one year Wiser. Wisdom is America's most needed Commodity right now. I know my Facebook Friends may not have known it was my Birthday, but I don't tell Facebook everything like they wish I'd do.
       We need to be Wise to survive the Daily Liberal Onslaught. We Conservatives are Bombarded, Trolled, Lied to, Harassed, Censored, Ridiculed etc., etc. Twitter and Facebook are not our Friends. Last week Facebook stood up for a Holocaust Denier's post, by a group of the most outlandish Anti-Semitic Thugs on the internet. The Holocaust is well established Historical Fact, yet Facebook took the side of the Bad Guys not History and the Facts. Also Twitter realized last week that I was about to reach 10,000 Followers, so they erased about 50 of my Followers and cut off my ability to Follow New People until I do reach 10,000. 
     Wisdom would tell me I need more Patience to persevere against all the Lies of the Media and the Dirty Tricks of Facebook and Twitter. Normally I am a patient man. But trying to teach a Liberal, any Liberal, anything is Frustrating at the least. Most don't read, never think, but will listen to the most dubious Leftist Propaganda without even blinking. It's hard to have patience with that kind of Stupidity. I have said often that Liberalism is a Mental Disorder.

       I tried at one time in my life to be the very Best Sunday School Teacher I could be. I had to go deep into the Scriptures to prepare a lesson. I wanted to instill God's Principles, Precepts and Doctrines in the minds of my students, many of whom were Ordained Ministers, Deacons, and Teachers themselves. I wanted to make a difference. I still do.
      Now with my Blog I try to present Christian Conservative perspectives to Moderate and Liberal voters. It isn't easy with the Fake News from the Leftist Media working against Reason and Logic, and Dead Set against Reporting the News fairly and accurately. Every sentence they write is skewed against Conservatism, Capitalism, and Christian Logic. Journalism has turned away from good reporting and taken up Trump Bashing, and damn any Journalistic Principles that get in the way. Very unethical. They fight Dirty.

      So we Conservatives must Pledge and Resolve to Patiently use the Wisdom God has granted us to sway these lost sheep back into Green Pastures of Conservatism and Christian Precepts. I am also a Fiscal Conservative where Economics is concerned and a staunch supporter of Capitalism. If you want a job, you would be a fool to work for a Government/Socialist job bank for Minimum Wage. A Job is not a Gift it is a Responsibility, a Privilege, an Opportunity to advance and prosper. Minimum Wage Laws are nothing more than a way to hide Taxation Without Representation. Supporters of the $15.00 Minimum Wage don't realize that Corporations base their Prices on cost of Production. So after inflation, say in the year 2030 at the $15 pay level, Real Wages (actual value) will be at the same level as in 1980 at $5.00/hr. Inflation erases every Minimum Wage increase because manufacturers Price In Wages, technically they don't even pay wages, you the Consumer pay it all. Liberals have trouble understanding this fact. But it is still Fact! Minimum Wage is a tax on the Consumer.
      I have referred to a certain Friend on Facebook, as my Pet Liberal. I use him as a litmus test on Educating Liberals. So far I have made few dents in his Anti-Conservative Armor. Only tiny glimmers of hope are on the horizon. He shows Promise because he is a Baby Christian; and if he would only listen...…….but alas he never or seldom does. 

      But go ahead Conservative Friends, use your wisdom to teach Liberals what you can. Don't give up. Get a Liberal Pet of your own and try to Paper Train them. I have a Twitter Friend who takes the opposite track. He exposes Liberal Trolls daily, and shares their name with all his Followers, then Blocks them. He must have blocked at least 10,000 by now. It may give them a momentary shock but they won't learn much except how to find another Conservative to Pester and Annoy. No, use your Wisdom to teach, even if it is just lowly Paper Training. America will benefit, even from tiny improvements in their thinking. Be Wise my Friends.
Deuteronomy 4:5-6 (KJV) ⁵  Behold, I have taught you statutes and judgments, even as the LORD my God commanded me, that ye should do so in the land whither ye go to possess it.
⁶  Keep therefore and do them; for this is your wisdom and your understanding in the sight of the nations, which shall hear all these statutes, and say, Surely this great nation is a wise and understanding people.

Roar Like a Warrior or Quack like a Liberal

      I have a friend in my home town who will tell you over and over he is not a Democrat. It just shows how little he knows about himself. Yes he is a caring individual, but care as he might; he never stands up for anything and makes a difference. He is part of the problem, never the solution. He quacks like a lonely Duck, repeating the same old, stale, Leftist Propaganda lines he Quacked in his Democrat days. 
      Just saying you are not a Democrat, may make you feel more responsible, but it won't win the War the Left is waging against America. Battle Lines have been drawn and we all have to take a Stand or become slaves to the Leftist Lies. We have to arm people like my Friend with the Truth. He will never find Truth on CNN or MSNBC, but he is not wise enough yet to trust Fox and I don't blame him much. Fox's way of being "Fair and Balanced" is to put idiots like Juan Williams in the chair of the "Democrat Opinion", repeating the same old Leftist Propaganda lines as MSNBC. Meaning, my friend can still choose his lies over the Truth.

      Although early mornings on Fox and Friends is very good, and one of Donald Trump's favorites, I find a lot better coverage of the News on Fox Business. Oddly our Texas born Lou Dobbs and British born Stewart Varney have a greater love for America than any CNN or MSNBC personality. Neil Cavuto is also good at presenting the Facts. Economists see what Presidential Politics is doing to the Economy faster than Congress or Late Night TV Hosts. They see immediately what is influencing our Country, both negatively and positively.
       So how do I get my friend to listen to reason and value Truth in News Reporting? I simply do not know. He won't read; even when I post an article exposing the lies and presenting the Truth. He ignores it. So I am forced to be patient and lead by example; which he also hates. He won't actually debate, just deny and criticize facts. It is very frustrating and tries my patience daily. Why do I try? I guess I see something in his Christian faith, (baby Christian) that leads to a Hope he will Mature.
       We need Christian Conservative Warriors. We need them desperately in this Age of Media Deception. As Stubborn as my friend is he would make a Worthy Warrior should he ever grow up and start to think. So I plug away with the Truth, hoping some day he'll see it.
      The Book of Jude tells us to "have compassion on some" but "others you have to shock and save by fear". Jude 1:22-23 (KJV) ²²  And of some have compassion, making a difference:
²³  And others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh.
      I'll try to the end to maintain compassion for my friend, as obnoxious as he is at times, unknowingly I am sure. Perhaps some day he'll become a fellow Warrior.

Anti-Trump Nonsensical Dreaming

      Junior Contributing Writer for Politico Joshua Weitz really reached into Outer Space Fiction when his latest article hoped farcically that the tiny ranks of the former Never-Trumpers would somehow switch to the Democrat Party and swing the mid-term elections for his dying party. Never-Trumpism died a sudden death in 2016-2017, and today almost every one has happily jumped on the Trump Train.
      A fair Historian at best Weitz lives Foolishly in a world where Whigs still make up the base of the Republican Party. I don't think any Politician today could begin to describe the Ideology of a Whig, much less likely could they find an example of one. Weitz once said on Twitter:  “Not particularly obnoxious” 'is one of the nicer things anyone has said of me today!'

Perhaps with a little more honest respect for our duly Elected President and a little more honesty in reporting he wouldn't seem so Obnoxious. Of course that could be said for every Leftist Journalist in America today.
      No there are very few Never-Trumpers left today. One of the best known, back in the day, during the Presidential Nominations was my friend on Twitter Chuck Nellis, (@NASCARChuck336). No other Conservative on Twitter has been more unfairly attacked by both Liberal Trolls and the unfair Algorithms which Twitter uses to purge their rolls of Conservative Voices. He has lost 4 Twitter Accounts and over 100,000 Followers to Political Censorship from Liberals. But Chuck has come around and gladly Jumped on the Trump Train with me. 

      I don't care which Economic or Political criteria you apply, every facet is better under the Trump Administration:

Unemployment - almost non-existent Workers hard to find.
Black Unemployment - Lowest in U.S. History

Hispanic Unemployment - Lowest in Decades

Workforce Participation Rate - Highest in Decades
Stock Market - Pushing all time highs in all markets

Consumer Confidence - at all time record

Take home Pay - increasing naturally for first time in decades

Forty hour workweek - common again vs. Obama years

Drug Prices - Coming down
Cost of Insurance - Coming down

Respect for America - Improving all over the world

Military Preparedness - Improving exponentially 

Consumer and Military Morale - highest in years
Consumer Spending - up

       No, Everyone is Happy on some level with the Job Donald J. Trump is doing. Whether they admit it or not, they are better off today than they were during the Obama Administration. The Day of the Never Trumper is long gone. By the time his second term is completed there won't be any hold outs. Everyone will be thankful to God for giving us this great President.

Leftist Vocabulary/Tactics

      It's Question and Answer Week -

No Christian can Biblically support men in                       little girls restrooms, homosexual marriage,                                 legalization of drugs of any kind, etc. Likewise the                     Socialist and Communist factions of the Democrat                     Party call for the abolishment of all religion.                                 Recently many liberals are even calling for the                             normalization of Pedophilia brazenly claiming it is                     good for kids.

     10. "Sore Losers" - Wow are they ever, Hillary hasn't Lost                 enough, drank enough gin, or even began to Lie to her               full potential. And she is all too typical of this political               class of Losers.

      11. Snowflakes - too easily offended, too in need of “safe                                         spaces,” too fragile, wimpy.

Oops! That's 11 and I was just supposed to do 5. I guess I got carried away. But then I could do 55 or 105. As wrong as the left is on every Subject there is almost a limitless number of derogatory words one could call them. It is like a snowball fight though, they'll be picking out words they think they can understand, turning them around, and throwing them back at we on the Right. One thing about being Right however, we have Right on our side and all they have are Satan's Lies.

Leftist Lies

      The Obama days were a real drag to me. They were days of constant anguish. The Daily Lies were so frequent, rampant really, that my mind was is constant Shock and filled with unbelief that people, even my friends and acquaintances, could be so Gullible. The Liberals, and even the so called Moderates,  seemed to believe anything, no matter how unreasonable. They were falling for all Obama's Lies hook, line, sinker, floater and anything else they could find to swallow.

      One of the Obama Lies was the Manipulated Fake Unemployment Figures. So many millions of Workers gave up looking and left the Workforce in despair it made the Unemployment figures look better. Obama was doing so much to systematically kill every decent 40 hr. job, that instead of looking, decent people just gave up. Who wanted 3 part time jobs flipping burgers or washing cars, and that was all that was left if you wanted a job. So People Quit Looking. Obama cleverly used the drop in the Workforce Participation Rate, which his bad Management had created, to make it look like Unemployment was coming down when it was really going up exponentially. People were immediately taken off the Unemployment Rolls as soon as their Unemployment Insurance ran out. They were no longer encouraged to look for work and were instead steered into the Food Stamp, Medicaid, and Welfare lines. Food Stamps and EBT Cards became the Chains of Economic Slavery that the DNC is now so desperately trying to hold on to.

      Not only did Gullible People buy into the Lies, so did the Liberal Newspapers, Cheap Rag Magazines (like Cosmo, Huff Post, and Mother Earth News), and Television Networks. PBS became the Champion of Fake Environmental stories and Revisionist History. They made fun of the Bible and made Scientific Reporting a Joke. Fake Global Warming pushed by the United Nations and fueled by altered Data was the hope of Global Taxes, not to help the Environment but to Fund the U.N. itself.
       Network after network fell in line. Reporting the Lie became the norm with the George Soros funded Media Matters hand picking just which stories were to be Reported. The "News" was carefully selected, rewritten, skewed to the Left, and sent back out to the Newspapers and Networks for Broadcast. The Associated Press had the same Media Matters feed as did CBS, ditto NBC and ABC. All the same drivel; all the same devised Lie. Journalistic Principles were pushed aside to the point of being forgotten about, in lieu of the ease of simply reading the Media Matters Script. This was all the masses needed to know. Anything more would only confuse the issues the Left wanted to Focus on. All intended to sway voters Left and as far away from anything Conservative as possible. They didn't tell anyone, but Communism was the ultimate goal.

      Communism was always the Goal with Obama too. He was raised by Communists. His Mother, Father, step-Father, Grandparents. All Communists. Obama himself was a lie. He had never been raised Black. You can tell it when he tries to talk Black; he is not very good at it. Obama studied Communism to do away with the U.S. Constitution he hated so much. An Indonesian Citizen all his formative Teenage years, Obama is even a Fake American. He went to College, if he really went at all, on a Foreign Student Visa. His records remain sealed. Everything about Obama is a big Secret because everything about him is a Big Lie. No students or teachers remember ever seeing Obama.

      Look at the Face of the DNC. Activists and Liars all. Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, Hillary, Keith Ellison, Upchuck Schumer. Sanders is the champion of the failed Lie of Socialism. Warren or should I say Pocahontas, is just a Liar. Hillary stays so Drunk she forgets which Lie she is working on at any given time. Black and Muslim thug groups gave us Ellison. And Fat Cat Big Money Lobbyists gave us Schumer. You pick the Lie; the DNC has a Champion for it.
      The Latest Lie, and it's a BIG one is that Roe vs. Wade is Established Precedent. No, it was one of the Supreme Court's Premier Mistakes. How can the Supreme Court support Pre-meditated Murder of an unborn Child? Of Course the decision was a Mistake. The Bible says so in dozens of Scriptures. In the Old Testament it was Established Law that a person who hurt a pregnant woman causing a miscarriage was guilty of killing a living being. Isn't that EXACTLY what an Abortion does? Of course it is!

Exodus 21:22-25 (KJV) ²²  If men strive(get in a fight), and hurt a woman with child, so that her fruit depart from her, and yet no mischief follow: he shall be surely punished, according as the woman's husband will lay upon him; and he shall pay as the judges determine.
²³  And if any mischief follow, then thou shalt give life for life,
²⁴  Eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot,

²⁵  Burning for burning, wound for wound, stripe for stripe. 

      If causing a miscarriage was a crime in Old Testament Days, it is still a Crime to God.
Malachi 3:6 (KJV)
⁶  For I am the LORD, I change not;
      So are men Lying more in this day and age than in the Old Testament? Maybe not, but with the Age of the Internet and TV and Video we are spreading PooPoo a lot faster than we used to. Don't believe what you see on TV. Matt Lauer and Rachel Maddow are not the Face of Journalism, they are failed Clowns reciting Propaganda. Research the story for yourself. Investigate the data source. Check it all against the Bible. Don't fall for Satan's Lies. Smooth tongues don't have to be forked to tell a Lie.

 

      

Don't Fall for Babel

      Genesis 11:9 (KJV) ⁹  Therefore is the name of it called Babel; because the LORD did there confound the language of all the earth: and from thence did the LORD scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth.

      We call Foolish talk, rambling talk, and nonsensical talk Babel. We still say Foolish people Babel; and God indeed has confounded the language of Today's Journalistic Body. I wrote about that last week. But God didn't Call Christians to be a confused body.
1 Corinthians 1:26-28 (KJV) ²⁶  For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called:
²⁷  But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty;
²⁸  And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are:

      God doesn't call very many Wise Men to be Evangelists or Pastors or Teachers; not in the way that we men see other men as Wise. No, God choses the man, and then he Gives the man Wisdom as a Spiritual Gift. He doesn't chose many Powerful men. Did you ever wonder what Sampson looked like. I personally do not believe he was a big Muscular Man. Who would see that as amazing? No, I believe Sampson was rather runty and small, someone who no one could ever believe to be so strong. Sampson's Strength was in the Holy Spirit Who "came upon him" when strength was needed. His strength was sent by God.
      God doesn't call the Noble. He doesn't need Kings and Princes or the Rich and Famous to get his Word across to the masses. He provides his Word via the Holy Spirit to His Messengers, however lowly they may appear compared to some Hollywood Star.
      When I could stand and walk, I used to do a Jail Ministry with Gideon's International. I often asked God why He would chose me to go. I wasn't a great speaker, I was never very good at memorizing Scriptures. I had never studied Theology, or Greek, or Hebrew. But I told Him if I was the one He wanted to go, that I was willing. I asked Him to bless that willingness with the Message He wanted me to share; and WOW!!! did He answer that prayer.
      Many times I would hear someone quote a verse of the Bible I had never remembered memorizing. I would look around to see who had Quoted the Verse, and I would suddenly realize it had been me speaking. Words I had never composed, verses I had never memorized, song lyrics of old songs I thought I had forgotten were suddenly available to me via The Holy Spirit. An Inmate would ask a question and I would feel my fingers turning my Bible to just the right Scripture. I didn't get tired of standing, I didn't get weary. I could have happily Preached all night.
      That is what it should be like for your Pastor at your Church. Whether he is a well dressed Big City Gentleman in a Silk Suit and a $1,000 Tie and shiny Italian Shoes, or a grizzled old country boy more comfortable in jeans and Cowboy Boots, it shouldn't be his intellect or Theological Training delivering the message; it should be the Holy Spirit talking through him. If he is not using the Bible as his Sermon's foundation, go to another Church. Check out what he says with your own Bible. If the Sermon doesn't agree 100% with what the Bible says, throw that sermon and that "pastor" out like dirty bath water.
      The world is Babbling, Journalism is Dead, too many Pastors are telling jokes instead of preaching, your Local News Broadcast is Babbling, Your National News is Babbling, Late Night TV, (for sure), is Babbling and unfit to even watch. If you want to know the truth about a News Story you'll have to look it up yourself, but watch out for Google (they skew their data to the Left), Wikipedia is unreliable (any one with a computer can write it's definitions to suit their Political whims); watch out for the Fact Checker Sites (clever leftist sites, like Snopes, carefully rewrite and skew News Stories and rate them to deceive the masses). LOOK UP your own Facts. That includes the Sermon this Sunday. If it doesn't match what the Bible says. Find a Pastor who is True to the Word. Don't accept Babel.
