The Duty of the Christian Vote

     What follows is a short Sermon from Dr. Jimmy A. Millikin. Dr. Millikin is a former Pastor and Friend. Like myself and as a Christian Jimmy finds himself in the same pickle as the rest of us; how to vote for a loudmouthed, hardheaded, candidate who is only our choice because he is the only logical choice. As Christians we have a duty to never vote for Abortion which is Premeditated Murder. We have a duty to vote against Sexual Immorality which is exhibited in the Democrat Party platform which supports not only homosexuality itself, but the destruction of God's Marriage Covenant and the Abomination of Homosexual Marriage. We have a duty to elect someone who will select Conservative Supreme Court Judges to prevent the current downward spiral of out Supreme Court into the cesspool of Progressivism. Donald Trump has released a list of very suitable Judges he promises to appoint, while Clinton has sworn to select Judges that would support Abortion and further sexual immorality.
     As Christians, our task is clear. Support the lesser of two seemingly bad choices and let God protect us. That after all is what we have to do every day in any daily situation. Trust God. I do, and I will be voting for Donald Trump. God used Pharaoh, and He used Nebuchadnezzar. Both were strong willed, and overly proud men. Yet when the time came for their decisions they did what God's Will dictated. Our trust is as always in God, not in Trump.
Here is what Dr. Jimmy said:

"I preached tonight on "The Cure for a Troubled Heart" (Jn. 14). I really needed to me reminded of that myself, for my heart has been particularly troubled today. I was troubled at the barrage of anti Trump comments from evangelicals, some in high places of influence. But more particularly I am troubled by some of my close and cherished friends, friends with whom I have stood, and in some cases at personal costs, who have joined the chorus with charges against those of us who
...have decided to vote for the lesser of two evils with hypocrisy. The plain fact of life is that there are times when one is faced with having to chose between two goods and must chose the better one, and in this fallen world one is faced with a choice between two wrongs and must chose the lesser one. In living out biblical principles there are times when a Christian is faced with two duties or commandments but cannot keep both of them. To keep one, one will be broken. For example a Christian wife is instructed to be in subjection to her husband as the head of the family (Eph 5:22), but as a Christian she is instructed to forsake not the assembling of herself with the church body (Heb 10:25). If her husband forbids her to attend church, which is she to obey? If she obeys her husband, then she disobeys the command to assembly herself. She must decided which has the priority. So, I am not happy with Trump but I am more displeased with Hillary. I deeply resent the implication that I am rejecting my Christian principles by choosing the lesser of two evils, especially since I believe the choice will eventually result in the most good.
So today I have had that troubled heart, and needed to be reminded of Jesus's instruction: "Let not your heart be troubled." I can actually claim, I was helped by my own sermon. I can now lay me down to sleep comforted with Jesus's words: "Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth...Let not your heart be troubled neither let it be afraid" (Jn 14:27). So with a clear conscience I will go on supporting Trump against Hillary and will rejoice with great joy if he is victorious. That joy may turn to weeping before four years are over, but at this moment I cast my vote for Trump and would like to invite all who may read this to join me."


     Join myself and Dr. Millikin. Please get out the Vote for Donald Trump. Our Republic depends on it. The current discussions about Donald are disgusting. But the revelations about Hillary and the Clinton Foundation are far worse. Your Country and your Church needs your Vote. Vote Donald Trump. We can work to rebuild a Conservative Party after the Election. Right now
we need to save a country.

Open Your Eyes Christian Voter

     And the Lord opened the eyes of the young man; and he saw: and, behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire round about Elisha.
2 Kings 6:17 (KJV)


     It does make a difference how we vote. The notion in today's Church that we are supposed to have a wall between us and our Political Ideology and Opinion is a Falsehood straight from Satan. God want's you to Vote the Bible. God wants you to get up off your Pew and Stand Up for Christian Values. He doesn't just want you to sit on a pew one Day a week and act like you're listening to the Preacher. He wants you out on the street Monday sharing with the world in whatever way you are capable The Witness and Saving Knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ and ALL His Precepts. That's a huge job that most of us fail miserably at.
     Many of us are out in the world, doing our thing, practicing our own form of being a Christian while mostly forgetting that we are the Only Bible many Lost Souls will ever Read. If they don't see us doing the right thing, how will they know not to do the wrong things? We are the ones who are supposed to have a Personal Relationship with the Living God on a Daily Basis. Why do we forget to show it and march out on paths that God did not Ordain for us. We trounce blindly down our Path like Balaam.


Then the Lord opened the eyes of Balaam, and he saw the angel of the Lord standing in the way, and his sword drawn in his hand: and he bowed down his head, and fell flat on his face.
Num 22:31 (KJV)

     Like Balaam many Christians ramble down a path to please our Government, our Clubs, our Sports Teams, our Civic Organizations, and our Political Party without ever praying and asking God how He wants us to behave in those endeavors. Even what some Pastors are teaching on Sundays is False to God's Doctrine. The Bible is clear on that. Even Satan Himself will be Preaching from a Pulpit somewhere this very Sunday. It will probably be a Big Congregation somewhere or on TV, but it might be your Church, your Pastor who had fallen for Satan's deception. Open you eyes, look at you path, look at what you are being told and taught. Check it out in the Bible yourself in Prayerful Meditation. The Lord will not fail to show you the lighted path. He will however wait for you to Open Your Spiritual Eyes. Pant for that enlightenment just like it was Water from a Brook.

     Lift up your eyes on high, and behold who hath created these things, that bringeth out their host by number: he calleth them all by names by the greatness of his might, for that he is strong in power; not one faileth.
Isaiah 40:26 (KJV)

      And Jesus said unto them, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
Mark 4:9 (KJV)

     So just who are we supposed to Vote for? We know from the Bible that whoever wins the Election in Question will be Ordained (for whatever God's Reason) to be our next President. Like Pharaoh and Nebuchadnezzar God Himself will control His/her actions, OR God will allow Satan to use our new Leader to continue the Evil Path we are currently following.
      Don't just look at the outward man Donald Trump. Sure "if" he is a Christian, he is a baby one. Sure he is sometimes loud and bullheaded. But he is a winner. Look at the Bible. How many times did God install the Greatest Spiritual Warrior in the Country as the King? Not very often. Usually the men and women God chooses for his purposes are the most moldable in His Eyes.
     I cannot see Hillary Clinton as moldable to God's will. She is NOT a practicing Christian. She has called for the Church to allow the Barbaric Practice of Premeditated Murder by Abortion in the place of Birth Control and sensible thinking before a woman gets get Pregnant. You don't kill a Baby because your boyfriend forgot to wear a condom. Our Permissive society passes out condoms in Grade Schools but ignores the Godly Precept of not having sex before Marriage. Then like Canaanites sacrificing live babies on the Molten Hot Arms of Moloch, American women sacrifice their babies to the God of Selfish Escape from Responsibility. Hillary Clinton is the Champion of that mentality.
     Hillary talks falsely about Donald's temperament, but lies to cover up her own. She is known in all her circles as a Mean, Nasty, Vengeful, Crude, foul-mouthed tyrant, and even Ruthless in her treatment of Staff, Security Guards, Secret Service Agents and of course Bill. She is documented as giving Bill a Black Eye, and throwing a blue vase at him at the Whitehouse. She is also documented as cussing Secret Service Agents for just saying "hello". She hates bomb sniffing dogs too and cusses them. She has a violent, wild, and uncontrollable temper. These bad personality traits are further complicated by an all too well reported penchant for Drinking too much.
     That's all for Hillary except to mention carelessness in handling E-mails and classified materials, and of course disregard for truth and Human Lives in Benghazi. Oh!, and dark relationships with Rich Saudi and Iranian donors and even Russia, for dark and dishonest favors, like gun running and uranium deals, from the Whitehouse and the State Department.
     No Christian in their right mind could vote for Hillary, but What else are we supposed to vote against? Here is a list:

* The Democrat Party - Their Platform calls for the Murder of Infants by premeditated Abortion, the sin of Homosexual Marriage and the destruction of the American Family and Godly Marriage Covenant. The Party is also now more properly classified as The Socialist Democrat Party. Hitler was the original Socialist Democrat.

* Liberalism, Progressivism, and Socialism are just varying degrees of Communism which discourages the Worship of God by replacing it with worship of the State.

* Libertarianism - Freedom is great, Liberty is wonderful; but Freedom from ethical and moral responsibility is Sin. Libertarianism goes too far. Smoking Pot and drug use is not what God wants His Children doing.

* Gambling, Casinos, Lotteries - Every election somewhere each year we hear Politicians, usually rich schemers from outside our own State, tout bringing in the Casinos so other states don't get all the money and it stays within our borders. What a farce. The Money goes to line the Fat Cat's Pockets somewhere else and our schools get a few leftovers while our innocent citizens shell out grocery money for a one in Ten Million chance at nothing.

* Homosexuality - An Abomination in God's Eyes, any venture into Homosexuality is a Sin. No one is Born Homosexual, it is a choice to venture into sexual perversion and eventually leads to a reprobate mind. The word Transsexual is a manufactured concept to deceive and cover sin. It has been said that God would have to apologize to Sodom and Gomorrah if he fails to punish the United States for the evil road into Homosexuality they are following.

* Never Trump Movement - I refuse to pull any punches here. Never Trump is Stupid. I believe that Donald J. Trump is in this race to Make America Great Again. God Himself knows we need someone to do exactly that. Unemployed coal miners and people forced to work 2 or 3 part time jobs know that. You as a voter should know that. Only two people on the ballot have a possibility of winning the election. A vote for the Green or Libertarian Party is a wasted vote, but worse, far worse, it might be the one vote taken away from Donald Trump that might allow Hillary and her Evil Cohorts to steal the election. So Stupid. So Wasted. So uneducated. As stated earlier, God Ordains all Governmental Officials. God will direct the path of Donald J. Trump. Timidity on our part in voting is counterproductive. You Vote, let God do the Leading. He can and will use Donald Trump. 

     So go Vote. It is not too late for most people to register for the November Elections. Study the Ballot. But Vote the Bible. Don't vote for Democrats, don't vote for homosexuals. Don't vote for drug and gambling advocates. Vote for Judges who will oppose Abortion. Vote for local School Board members who will get rid of Common Core Curriculum which is really Communist Indoctrination. Think what would Jesus do and vote. Vote the Bible. Act Like a Christian. Be one. Vote like one.

America's Status in understanding Islamic Ideology

What is America’s Status in understanding Islamic Ideology?

      America is not at a Crossroad in its relations to Islam. America is sound asleep. The average American Citizen has no idea, even a wild idea, of what the Koran says, who Muslims worship, or what their risks are as this huge Army of Islamic Invaders March on Europe and the United States. Even our Christian Churches, which should know better, tout the old stale Lie that Islam is a “Religion of Peace”. Nothing could be farther from the truth. If that is being taught in your Church you Pastors are victims of false teaching.
      First of all the word Islam DOES NOT mean Peace and never has. It means Submission. Either you submit and convert to Islam or you are an infidel and must be eliminated. The Koran allows one to pay taxes and live in peace temporarily but only temporarily. Eventually you either convert to Islam, or lose your head quite literally. There is no tolerance of other Religions in Islam; they kill all other faiths equally, with the exception of specifically Hating Christianity.
      To understand Islam one must go back to the reason for the Crusades. Far from being a mistake by the early Christian (Catholic) Church the Crusades began as a desperate attempt to drive back an overwhelming Muslim Invasion of Europe, the Mideast, and Northern Africa. Muslim barbarians were everywhere, burning, looting, raping, and brutally taking anything in their path they wanted. Crusades were organized to drive back these armies of thugs, thieves, and rapists. Sure there were evil things the Crusaders did especially their treatment of innocent Jewish People who should have been protected instead of persecuted, but the Crusades began as a defensive push to rid Europe of Barbaric Invaders.
      The entire 1,400 year history of Islam has been one of Hate and Persecution of all people not worshiping the moon god allah. Let’s get this one Fact Straight! Mohammed was NOT a Religious man. He was a common thug with his sole mission to grab all the Power, wealth, and influence he could to build his own fortune. He took the Torah and the early Epistles of Christ, plagiarized them, and took what he wanted as he reorganized it into an ideology to fit his own very Political needs. He picked one Idol, out of hundreds of Bedouin Pagan Idols, to be the god of his new religion. Bedouins had long prayed to the Black Meteorite Cornerstone in the Kaaba, so he kept that ritualistic custom as part of his new Religious Cult. Islam was never about Religion, it was all about Controlling Masses of People. Whole verses of the Bible were turned around, twisted, rewritten, and reversed. Abraham’s illegitimate son was turned into the primary heir and so on. Jesus, the Creator of the Universe, was relegated to the lowly status of just a Prophet; while Mohammed the thug himself became his own great prophet. In common language the entire Koran is a bunch of barbaric Phooey and Pork Baloney. Mohammed told so may Lies he had to make up new verses to cover it. Now, if you want to Lie to promote Islam, it is called Taqaayi. Supposedly, A verse from god to cover a sin? Sad!
      Now the average Muslim out there has never even read the Koran (Qur’an). He or she has no idea of what it says inside. They just know they are expected to pray to a supreme god at appointed times, bow toward Mecca, and do what the Imams and other leaders tell them. So where do these extremists and terrorists come from?
      Some people, for whatever reason, are more spiritual than others. Some search for God and begin to read and study Religion. Muslims who search for God, have only the Koran where there is only a paper and ink god; a pagan idol. But in the Koran, the Evil mind of Satan is revealed. The reader looking for god, finds greed, power, satisfaction for lusts, along with all the ritualistic devices he needs to make them a reality in his own life. Islamic Power is absolute, it steamrolls over everything and every person who stands in the way.
      ISIS, not incorrectly pronounced ISIL as Obama says, is busy on the internet recruiting these souls in the early stages of adulthood; redirecting their search for god into enlistment in Satan’s Army of Islamic Terror. Other recruiting groups call themselves Al Qaeda, or a dozen other names all trying to fill their niche in the world of Terrorism. Children are taught to murder, slash, and hate from the age of three. Mock Executions of Christians and other infidels are practiced in preschools on a daily basis. Children are taught to hate and kill and conquer.
      Sharia Schools don’t teach factual history, they don’t teach love thy neighbor, they don’t teach many actual events even denying the Holocaust. Young Muslims have no concept of Freedom, Liberty, Justice, Equality, Absolute Truth, or even Love. They don’t even think about those things, to the point of being totally or almost totally uncivilized as a people. But they are raised to know how to kill infidels. (That is You). The one thing a Muslim understands is how to kill.
      Right now we have thousands upon thousands of Syrian and other Refugees marching in waves into Europe. Fleeing from their own intolerances, hate, and violence. No one other than God Himself knows who these individuals are. They have no records, just their clothing and a bedroll. (and of course cell phone and/or burn phones). If they have a Passport, Visa, or ID chances are it is fake or stolen. Any Bureaucrat claiming these ratty throngs can be Vetted is an idiot. Other than facial recognition software picking up the faces of known terrorists and fingerprint records for some convicts, there is no data base for 99.9% of unknown refugees. No such data base yet exists.
      Hillary Clinton and the Progressive (communist) Left want to usher thousands of completely unknown and non-vetted refugees into our country, thinking (not thinking actually) that the refugees will automatically be Democrat Voters. The left should know there is no democracy in Islam, Never! Islam and Sharia Law is incompatible with any other form of government. Islam must rule over all other laws and precepts. Sharia is Supreme.
      American Immigration used to be by peoples who were coming to America to become Americans, to live the American Dream, to enjoy and celebrate American Values and Freedom. Immigrants used to come to America with the understanding that they had to learn the Language, the Customs, and the basics of the Constitution to assimilate into the general Population. We should not encourage any immigration that does not fit into these parameters.  We, not a bunch of Imams, have the right to decide who comes to our Country and under what circumstances. If an immigrant cannot contribute to the Economy and Society in a beneficial manor we don’t need them. If they cannot fully assimilate, we don’t need them or want them.
      Sure we need to be compassionate for those displaced by Middle Eastern Warfare. We need to select a section of territory in Syria, build a refugee camp, and supply the residents with food, water, shelter, and medical supplies. Herd them in till their compatriots stop fighting and take care of them. Not import them and all the troubles they bring with them. If they can’t get along with each other, how are they supposed to get along in a country they can’t understand?
     Until every single Muslim can be identified, vetted and certified sane and non-terrorist, we need to prohibit all Muslim immigration to the United States. Further all travel to Muslim Countries should be one way, with no return. Too many kids travel to Muslim Countries and are radicalized. Once they are infected we don’t need them back. Islamic Doctrine is a disease of the mind that always ends in violence and terrorism. It is written into the Koran that way. There is no such thing as a moderate Muslim. Moderates just wait patiently for the radicals to do their dirty work. Sadly the only way a Muslim can contribute to the vitality of the United States is to cease being a Muslim and their own cultish religion even forbids that.

Do You Want to Talk Black or get a Job

    
     If I were a small business owner looking for bright new employees what would I look for? Enthusiasm, neat appearance, training potential, and language skills. Pretty simple. I was raised in the era of MLK Jr.
    My generation of white folks was about the least racist that had come along in many generation. Paragould was almost a white town back then. I didn't have much experience with blacks, but I sheltered no hidden animosity. How I dealt with blacks in the Navy and later in life is a long story and not the subject here, but suffice it to say I learned blacks sometimes had that hidden animosity towards me. Today I have a whole host of black friends on Twitter and Facebook. But what do I see in the outside black community today?
     The Picture isn't good. Enthusiasm in the black community is low if not missing. I see, (mind you this is my minds picture and I am not there among them), young black men hanging out on street corners, or basketball courts, having given up going out and looking for a job. That is what I see on TV; that is my mind's picture of what daily black life is like, but I hope it isn't true.
     As far as neat appearance goes, some blacks are neat dressers, some dress for black community acceptance. I see some who dress for approval in the business community ridiculed by blacks in that other community. That is unfortunate.
Training potential is low based on education. Blacks from many neighborhoods don't do well in school. This is not just my opinion, it is based on well published testing.
     Now to a main point regarding language skills. If I were interviewing a young black man or woman and they pronounced the word ask as axe, would I hire them? Sadly no! My personal opinion is that if they do not care enough to learn to enunciate the English Language properly, they probably won't take any more care in learning job tasks.
     When I see video of rioters in Milwaukee, Chicago, Baltimore, or Ferguson I see angry protesters who have apparently given up hope of being heard in traditional political channels. I also see community members practically illiterate when trying to communicate in the English Language. No wonder they feel hopeless at being heard. I don't see stay at home mammas overseeing kids homework and correcting their hanging participles. The mammas are not there because they are out working as single mothers. Daddies are not there at night reading a newspaper and/or Bible around the fireplace. Grandma may go to Church on Sunday and take the Grandkids, but Church isn't the Family Institute it used to be in America. No, kids do homework on their own if they do it at all. They get dressed for bed on their own and are fortunate if they see mamma fix breakfast. They see their dad pointed out by mom on a street corner once or twice a month. No wonder the do poorly in a Common Core School with regimented tests. They were left behind before the school year even started.
     One of the main talking points for Black Lives Matter is their bullet against Charter Schools, even though Black Students have proven to excel in Charter Schools and test far above those taught by the prepackaged, Teacher Union Taught, students in public school. Black Lives Matter is ironically doing all it can to make sure that Black Kids don't matter. BLM is teaching kids all the wrong things. Common Core Curriculum, which is nothing more than Communist Indoctrination, is doing the same, dumbing down our kids, black and white. We need Parents helping kids with homework daily. We need after School Church led study hall tutoring programs. We need the Bible taught in school like our first Congress of this United States dictated it be taught; In the English Language our kids need to succeed in business and in daily life.

Democrat Denial Deceit Deception

     What a visible contrast the 2 National Political Conventions have turned out to be. One, the RNC was a Literal Parade of Patriots, a Celebration of America's Greatness, a heartfelt call for Security and Safety for our Citizens, a call for Truth and Wisdom with all the Flags, Patriotic Music, bells and whistles.
     The other the DNC a collage of clowns, of political shills, cheap hack propaganda, dancing organ grinder monkeys and puppets on political strings. It seemed that most if not all the speakers at the DNC were trying more than anything not to choke getting all the lies out, so embarrassed by the facts they hid all the U.S. Flags behind that ugly dull blue curtain.

     Sure the delegates at the DNC have dreams of what America ought to be. Nothing wrong with that. Dreams are great. Look at Republican Martin Luther King Jr.'s Dream. It changed the world. But how to go about achieving a dream is not by electing the very people who got America in this present mess.
     Yes, Trump is right; Leadership in America is a Mess; Obama is a Disaster, Hillary is a Disaster, Obamacare is a Disaster; and yet Obama is holding back an announcement until December (after the election) that Obamacare Premiums are going up 60% over an already unbearable level. More people are without Health Care today than before Obama took office. The "Affordable Health Care Program" is anything but affordable. Add the ridiculous $5,000+ deductibles and the increasingly hostile network of HMO dead ends, guillotines, and running the gauntlet of endless documentation is unbearable. We don't actually have a health care program at all. We have a Health Insurance Nightmare of Confusion, Insurance Companies and HMOs are making millions on Premiums innocent tax payers don't get anything for. All the funds are stolen or taxed away and even the doctors don't make anything. Good Doctors are just leaving the system and leaving patients to face long lines and rationing of care.
     That is just one of the many issues the DNC is hiding and covering up. There are hundreds of hidden scandals and dark secrets the DNC doesn't want their little sleeping sheep to know about. Instead in their convention we got a parade of activists outlining problems. No solutions other than some list Hillary had put them on, no results other than vague studies, no plan other than saying "Hillary has a plan" well NEWS FLASH: Hillary has had many plans, but I have yet to see any of them put into any meaningful action. Empty talk, like $15.00 wages, always remains empty talk. It never accomplishes anything but increasing the confusion, and we all know that Satan is the author of all confusion.
     So Slick Willie, Bill Clinton came out and told the story of how he courted Hillary Rodham? Big deal!
Who cares. At this point what difference does it make? He wasted America's time for an hour to get our mind off all her mistakes. He failed to mention all his mistresses, his and Hillary's Disbarments, his impeachment, Benghazi, Whitewater? Where were all the scandals Bill? Oh yea, all right wing conspiracy theories. All 500 or so of them I guess.
     We had two men and at least one woman come out to endorse Hillary who had marched at one time with Republican Martin Luther King, Jr. How could they stand so close to this great man and not hear a thing he said? MLK would have been so embarrassed at the DNC2016. What ever happened to his dream, it was actively exorcised and demonized at the DNC in Philadelphia. Black Lives Matter would be a joke if it wasn't so sad. It has been rightly said if all lives don't matter none ever will. Black lives matter just as much as white lives matter. That has been true in this white boy's life for 70 years, not just because of MLK Jr. but because it is true. Police lives matter, Veteran's Lives Matter, and boy do Soldier's Lives Matter. Thug's Lives, and thug is a legitimate term, matter too but for a far different reason, a negative reason. Thugs are what caused a lot of the misunderstandings about Police. Trump said it right this morning. 1,000,000 times a day brave Police go out to protect Americans; but if out of one hundred thousand calls, even one goes bad, guess what the Press focuses on? Right, the mistake, the error, the one racist or maybe just stupid reaction out of 1,000,000 or even 1 Million.
     Just before Bill came out at the DNC we saw a victim of Sexual Slavery. Her escape had nothing to do with Hillary of course, as scripted as it was, but it was comical in a spooky kind of way that Bill, has been caught again recently riding down to the Caribbean with a man under investigation for a teen sex slavery ring. Bill likes em young. I know that from personal experience, standing right next to him, while he eyeballed an innocent young lady of my acquaintance.
     Enough of Bill. Hillary just recently won the Margaret Sanger Award. She has stated publically how much she admires Sanger. Who is Sanger? Just the single most racist woman in American History, that's who. Margaret Sanger went to the KKK with the plan to form Planned Parenthood and wipe out the black race. Her own evil words.
     This whole DNC fiasco has urged blacks to fight against the KKK, Jim Crow Laws, and Segregation. Trouble is it was the Democrat Party who formed the KKK, wrote the Jim Crow Laws, and fought for Segregation. Here in Arkansas it was that staunch Democrat Orville Faubus who stood at the School door and refused blacks entry. In Alabama it was George Wallace another Democrat. The Republican party is the Party that supported the 15th Amendment 100% while 34 Democrats voted against it, not one for it. Democrat Lyndon Johnson was one smart racist cookie, he is Quoted as saying, I'll have those niggers eating out of Democrat's hands for years". His words, not mine. He knew that by using Republican votes to push the Voting Rights Act, Democrats could take credit they didn't deserve with blacks. It worked and today blacks blindly still cast votes for the party that keeps them in Slavery to Government handouts and programs designed to keep them poor.
     There is a lot of money, big money, floating around in the hidden pockets of Washington, D.C. Lobbyists. It is there to buy Politicians an votes. The Democrat Party has also been successful in the Lie that the GOP is the Party of the 1%. Not so! The Democrats as a whole are far more corrupt than the GOP. And then comes Donald J. Trump, a man who admits he has bought a few votes himself. Wow imagine that someone telling the Truth. A man who doesn't need the money. Doesn't want big investors who expect big favors. How refreshing!
     Hillary, she stole furniture and dishes out of the Whitehouse, got caught, and quietly returned the stolen loot. She sold a uranium deal between Iran and Russia for what? Big Profit via a Crooked Contribution to the Crooked Clinton Foundation, where far less than 10% ever, ever, ever goes to charity. The Clintons even made money off the Haitian Earthquake Disaster. Millions go into their family coffers, pennies come out.
     We don't need any dynasties in America; George Washington told us that. Hillary has zero qualifications for any Governmental Position, any! She cannot name a single accomplishment because there are no accomplishments. She can't even bake cookies out of a package, or drive a car???? She can't handle a Blackberry or an E-mail account, she can't wake up from a drunken stupor and answer a 3:00 A.M. call from Benghazi? How in the Hell, is she going to run your Country America? And we sure don't need to groom Chelsea for 4-8 years. Puke on that!

     Wake Up! Grow Up! Vote Up! Elect Donald Trump. If American isn't Great Again in four years, we can elect someone else; but one thing is sure, Hillary Clinton has never been the answer to anything!

Both Sides of the Coin


     Once upon a time, I used to think that baby Christians grew up and became Mature Christians. The older I get the more I realize that the vast majority of Christians remain babies most if not all of their Christian Lives. Yes, they have been redeemed by the Blood, but their vision of being a Christian remains sitting on their favorite pew on Sunday, singing "Oh how I Love Jesus," and going out to eat fried chicken. Even those that come back on Sunday night, and come to Pray on Wednesday, pretty much limit their Spiritual Growth to singing in the Choir or helping reheat the chicken in the Fellowship Hall.
     Babies in Christ have a hard time understanding Doctrinal issues, especially Doctrinal Precepts. When I repented and came back to Church, my local Church was soon seeking a new Pastor. I listened intently to the new Preachers being presented. One stood out to me (Brother Rudy) when he said, "The average Southern Baptist has no idea what he or she truly believes, and/or why, and not a clue where that concept is found in Scripture." I prayed that very minute, "Lord don't let me remain that kind of Christian." I started that very night making a concerted effort to read the entire Bible every year. I couldn't put my Bible down, it was cool water to my soul, and meat I wanted to chew on daily. Sure I had some serious issues with my favorite sins, but I had prayed for Spiritual Wisdom as a teen, and verses I had studied came back, magnified and highlighted in my mind. I loved Isaiah and the Old Testament, and I loved finding Jesus everywhere I went in the Old Testament, especially when I found Him in Deuteronomy and Leviticus where I had not really expected Him to be so prominent.
     But to the Baby Christian Jesus is always Love and Grace. "God is Good, all the Time, all the time, God is good". So true but at the same time so misleading. There is another side to the coin. God is also a God of Wrath. We don't like to talk about that side of God's Personality. It isn't so politically correct in Sunday circles.
     A Gideon Friend of mine, Mark Tipton, who was often my partner in Jail Ministry, would always pull a coin out of his pocket to explain the two sides of God. One side is that unlimited, Perfect Love we all value; the other side is Perfect Justice we all deserve, but fear, and fear talking about. God's Wrath is as sure as His Love. Just the other side of the coin. God gets very angry with us, He absolutely Hates sin; yes I said Hates. God talks a lot about Hate in His Holy Word.
Was not Esau Jacob's brother? saith the Lord: yet I loved Jacob, 3 And I hated Esau, and laid his mountains and his heritage waste for the dragons of the wilderness.
Mal 1:2-3
These six things doth the Lord hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him: 17 A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood(abortion), 18 An heart that devises wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief, 19 A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.
Prov 6:16-19 (KJV)
And let none of you imagine evil in your hearts against his neighbor; and love no false oath: for all these are things that I hate, saith the Lord.
Zech 8:17 (KJV)
     Hate is just as absolute a truth as is Love. God hated sin so badly that when His Own Son, actually His Own Body, Jesus was hanging on the Cross in Shame with our sins nailed to the Cross, God the Father was unable to even look upon those sins represented there. Even though Jesus was part of the Godhead and the focus of the Plan of Salvation, God the Father can't stomach or even look upon sin. The only way God the Father can look at us as Children of Adoption is because we are literally covered in the Blood of Christ. Jesus' Blood makes us white with Righteousness.
     The reliability of the coin is represented on its face. That is the Love side. God's Love is so great we can rely completely on every Promise He gave us in the Bible. The Love is the Testament of unquestioned value. But the other side denotes the denomination. The other side calls out for our obedience to God's Commandments. Remember Jesus said, "If you Love me, keep My Commandments." Obedience is God's test of our Love, the more we Obey the more His Coin is worth in our pocket. If you want an old worn out dime, go to Church on Sunday and sit on your favorite pew. If you want a brand new shining silver Dollar, get there early, open the door for the elderly, and usher a stranger into your favorite seat; spread the Gospel, be instant in season, pray, worship, praise, meditate, and study to show yourself approved.
     That coin often gets scratched up and worn as we travel our rocky paths to Sanctification; if we climb that pathway at all. I once owned a 1860-O Seated Dime. The O stands for New Orleans Mint. When the Confederacy took over the Mint in 1860 the retooled the U.S. dies and started minting Confederate dimes. Less than 900 1860-O dimes survived and I got to own one for a short time. It was unevenly worn especially on one side, and I often have imagined who's pocket or hand it traveled it. Did Jefferson Davis, or General Lee, or maybe even Abraham Lincoln spend it for a cigar, if it made it up north?
     I also own a copper Roman coin minted in Alexandria, Egypt during the time of Emperor Hadrian. What famous person from my History Book might have owned it before I? What cities in Egypt did it see before it made it to my house in the USA? Did it buy slaves, or camels, or maybe some special cargo from the Orient? Our Spiritual coin takes on some scratching and wear as we fidget in our pew and rub it through our trousers to see how serious we are about Jesus.
     Get deadly serious. Seek to do exceedingly and abundantly above all you think God would have you to do. Find out what Spiritual Gifts The Holy Spirit has endowed you with, and use them. Use them often, use them wisely and mightily. Make even your little dime shine. But if Possible, pull out a big shiny Silver Dollar and let it spin for everyone to see. Not in a bragging way, but in a conquering way.
     God Hates sin and we have to expose it in a way that will magnify His Love and Grace to overcome it. We have to do that two way. In our own lives daily, and in an unashamed Voice when we rebuke sin in our midst. Tolerance IS NOT a word found in the Bible. We can NEVER tolerate sin, especially in our Churches. God certainly Hates that. We cannot check a box in a voting booth that might support murder of an unborn baby, or "medical marijuana", or the perversion of Homosexuality. God sees you vote. Don't flip a coin to vote, vote the Bible and you'll always do the right thing. God has ordained a candidate for every situation, and He will show you who that Candidate is, if you ask. It is called prayer for those of you who have gotten rusty in what to do.
God always answers sincere and fervent prayer.

Who are the Children of God?

     Often you hear people, especially baby Christians, say "we all are Children of God". Not true. We are all created in the image of God, but we are NOT His Children until we are Born Again, (accept Jesus the Christ as our Personal Savior and Lord). Yes, He wants us all as His Children, but until we make the personal commitment we don't attain that status.
     The word Image, Tselem tseh-lem in Hebrew, means Shadow. When people see other people, (each other), they see a shadow or phantom image of God represented. We are a daily imprint of God's work, his fingerprint. We are in a sense representative of God.  


      Unfortunately the word is often also used in the Bible as Idol. An empty dead shell, a lifeless, powerless, image that no matter how earnestly worshipped cannot act or react. A False god. We all have our idols. Even our Church is often our idol. We spend a lot of time playing church without ever knowing who Jesus is. Even Music Leaders, Deacons, and Preachers only play church. TV can be our idol. Hobbies and video games are idols. Whatever soaks up your time to keep you away from daily interaction with Jesus becomes an idol.
     So if we are not born again, who are we? We are children of perdition, children of Satan, children of the Devil, Jesus described them as tares, some lost sheep, who will at some point accept Christ, some are goats who will never be saved. In God's eyes perdition means we are already in a state of eternal punishment. He sees children of perdition as souls already lost in damnation. (He knows our final outcome.) Even if we attend Church every Sunday, sing in the Choir or even Preach from behind a Pulpit, if our soul is not Born Again and committed to the Lord's Service; we are tares and not Saints; our tabernacles (bodies) are empty without the Oil or Holy Spirit as in the five foolish Virgins. All ten virgins were members of the Church but only five were found faithful and eligible for the Wedding supper. The other five were locked out just like it will be at the Lord's Second Coming.
     There are more people who are not going to Heaven than those who will find the straight and narrow path to Jesus' Side. Jesus said so. He said the pathway to destruction is wide.
Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in that way: 14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.
Matt 7:13-14
     Yes, Jesus said it. Many of our friends, neighbors, and family members are going to Hell. Their choice, not His. We all decide our own fate by the very simple decision of what we do with Jesus. Is Jesus just a word in the dictionary or Bible, or is Jesus your Lord, Savior, and daily Friend and Brother? Do you study about Jesus on Sunday, or talk to Him daily? (or maybe once every year or two?) Do you really know Jesus personally, or merely think you do? Do you understand God's Word and know who Jesus really is? Jesus is our Creator. Jesus is the Heavenly Father. Jesus is the Prince of Peace. Yes, the Heavenly Father, as Jesus, came to earth personally, as a baby in a manger (meaning feed trough, not a barn {that's another sermon}). God separated His three parts, Mind, Body and Holy Spirit, so that his Body (Jesus) could come to earth as a Sacrificial Lamb to die for the sins of Mankind.
     Jesus did his work on Earth. What we do with Jesus determines what God does with us on Judgment Day. Faithful Virgins, (Born again Believers) have the indwelling Oil of the Holy Spirit and are filled with the Oil of The Holy Spirit and ready to enter in for the Wedding Supper. Those unprepared who never allowed the Holy Spirit to enter, never said "Jesus come into my heart", are locked out of the Ark of Forgiveness, forever to suffer for their failure to listen to God's call. He has called. What are you doing with that call?
     You can be a Child of God this very day. Just ask Him to come into your heart, ask His forgiveness, tell Him you want to make Him your Lord and Master. That's all there is to it. He is always faithful to accept you as His Child. Amen! and Amen!
