The
unready Christians
It would be unwise as a citizen and Christian citizens
especially, not to be prepared for the culture in which we are living in.
Prepared in the Word, prepared in the Law and prepared for the truth. Where should one turn for help in these areas,
where we seem to be lacking the understanding, of preparedness.
In many respects, what God provided us in the volume of
wisdom in the Bible could be liken to a comprehensive legal system in the
Bible, with 613 laws addressing every arena of life, from taxation to
immigration, business operations to criminal justice, sexual behavior to the
military. That the Scriptures should be both so wide ranging and practical is
no surprise, for while 2 Timothy 3:16 tell us that God’s Word is inspired or
God-Breathed, verse 17 tells us that, He gave us His Word so that we as
believers could be equipped for every good work. In short, the Bible holds the
answers for every aspect of life and living.
And because God’s Word provided such thorough guidance in
so many areas (including which; crimes
require restitution; marriage and family laws; abortion and the unborn;
inheritance policies; agricultural practices; employment contracts; business
loans and interest rates; etc.) citizens regularly went to ministers
rather than just attorneys for guidance on law.
This certainly not the practice today, but it definitely was during the
American Founding. “ The patriotic clergy of the revolution…were the soundest
statesmen of the time” early historian
J.T.Headley expounded…
When the first federal Congress under the new Constitution
convened in 1789, many ministers were among its members, including the Revs.
Fredrick Augustus Muhlenberg, John Peter Gabriel Muhlenberg, Abiel Foster,
Benjamin Contee, Abraham Baldwin, and Paine Wingate. In fact, the first speaker of the House of
Representatives was Rev. Fredrick Muhlenberg; and his is of only two signatures
appearing at the bottom of the Bill of Rights.
American ministers were intimately involved in every aspect
of introducing, defining, and securing America’s governmental and legal
system. So, if a citizen in early
America wanted to know something about law, he could go to a minister of the Gospel,
just as God’s ancient Hebrew people had gone to the priests in their day to
understand the law.
KNOW YOUR
HISTORY
2 טימותיאוס 3:16 כל כתבי הקודש נכתבו בהשראת אלוהים
ורווחיים להוראה, לתוכחה, לתיקון, להכשרה בצדקה;
2 Timothy 3:16
All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for
teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness;
In this time in our nation, something is wrong very wrong,
and if ever we needed to roll back time, to remember our history, it is now!
Our ministers, clergy, priests and pastors, our church, must realize how
important and necessary their duties are in our government structure truly is,
and not bow down to a system that has turned its back on God and those who have
turned away their ears from the truth, those treacherous, reckless, conceited,
lovers of pleasurer rather than lovers of God.v4
See. Judge. Act.
Freedom
is responsibility, It is the means to live with in the truth.
See means to be awake to
realities around you. Judge is a command to discern soberly the meaning
of those realities in light of what you know to be true, especially from the
teachings of the Christian faith. After
you reach a conclusion, then we are to Act to resist the evil.
John 8:32 ; and you will know the
Truth, and the truth will set you free.
Psalm 119:160 The sum of Your word
is truth, and every one of Your righteous ordinances is everlasting.
Zechariah 8:16 These
are the things you should do: speak the truth to one another; judge with truth
and judgment for peace in your gates.
The
new Totalitarianism
Soft totalitarianism is coming, the groundwork has already
been laid;
Totalitarianism – a form of government that combines
political authoritarianism with an ideology that seeks to control all aspects
of life. Its not establishing itself
through “hard” means like armed revolution or enforcing itself with
gulags. Rather, it exercises control, at
least initially, in soft forms. This totalitarianism is therapeutic. It masks (no pun intended) its
hatred of freethinkers, critical thinkers, from its utopian ideology in the
guise of helping and healing.
To grasp the threat of totalitarianism, it’s important to
understand the difference between it and simple authoritarianism. Authoritarianism is what you have when the
state monopolizes political control. That
is mere dictatorship – bad, certainly, but totalitarianism is much worse. A
totalitarian society is one in which an ideology seeks to displace all prior
traditions and institutions, with the goal of bringing all aspects of society
under control of that ideology. A totalitarian state is one that aspires to
nothing less than defining and controlling reality. Truth is whatever the rulers/ government
decide it is. Wherever totalitarianism has ruled, it has begun to destroy the
essence of man.
As part of its quest to define reality, a totalitarian
state seeks not just to control your actions but also your thoughts and
emotions. The ideal subject “ woke culture” some one who has learned to love
Big Brother…
Today’s totalitarianism demands allegiance to a set of
progressive beliefs, many of which are incompatible with logic – and certainly
with Christianity. Compliance is forced
less by the state than by elites who form public opinion, and by private
corporations that, thanks to technology, control our lives far more than we
would like to admit.
Many conservatives today fail to grasp the gravity of this
threat, dismissing it as mere “political correctness” – a previous generation’s
disparaging term for so – called “wokeness”
Today in our societies, dissenters from the woke party line
find their business, careers, and reputations destroyed. They are pushed out of
the public square, stigmatized, canceled, and demonized as racist, sexists,
homophobes, and the like. And they are afraid to resist, because they are
confident that no one will join them or defend them.
Today’s left – wing totalitarianism once again appeals to
an internal hunger, specifically the hunger for a just society, one that
vindicates and liberates the historical victims of oppression. It masquerades
as kindness, demonizing freethinkers/critical thinkers, and disfavored
demographic groups to protect the feelings of “victims” in order to bring about
“social justice”. These so-call social
justice warriors (aka SJWs) who started out as liberals and animated by an
urgent compassion, end by abandoning authentic liberalism and embracing an
aggressive and punitive politics that resembles 1917 Bolshevism…(look
it up)
Soft totalitarianism exploits decadent modern man’s
preference for personal pleasure over principles, including political
liberties. Under soft totalitarianism, the media, academia, corporate America,
and other institutions are practicing Newspeak and compelling the rest of us to
engage in doublethink every day.
Men have periods, the women standing in front of you is to
be called “he.” Diversity and inclusion means excluding those who object to
ideological uniformity. Equity means treating
persons unequally, regardless of their skills and achievements, to
achieve an ideologically correct result.
Many Christians have seen through these lies today, but we are choosing
not to speak up. Our silence will not save us and instead it is
corroding us… so, then we must… SEE,
JUDGE, ACT. That is, identify the
challenge, discern together its meaning, then act on your conclusion
Soft
totalitarianism is HERE, the groundwork has already been laid;
PRAY…PRAY…PRAY
Father we thank you Lord once again for your word, as you
speak to us out of it. We pray together
Lord that you would move in our nation, something is wrong, and Lord I pray
with my brothers and sisters that You would just, as it were, roll back the
hands of time and hear once again the prayers of our Pilgrim fathers, for this
nation they had a vision, they had the foresight, they had the love for You, to
mention to you, to plead to you, that this new world that You would begin on
this continent would be a covenant with the inhabitants of America and You. As
far as we know throughout human history outside the nation of Israel, there’s
never been such a request. In Your Bible, You’re the one that offered Israel a
covenant, but our Pilgrim fathers unlike any other people group in the history
of man, they portioned you…for this nation, and Lord this nation is lost today,
it is sideways, it is corrupt…it is polluted, and God I pray You give us a
jolt, a swift kick, to cause us to wake up out of emotionalism, and love
Truth…get our feelings out of the factor.
Lord put our minds back into focus of thinking about who You are, and that’s
there is one Truth, and it is Yours, so God we pray you would repossess our
nation and take it back from our hands of the politicians and attorneys and
judges and the power brokers, and that our nation Motto would be true one more
time, “In God We Trust”
And Lord if You search this nation looking for someone
that’s trusting in You I Beg of You Father that You would find us trusting in
You…In Jesus name…Amen...and all God’s children say….

Our Government … You Can't Make This Stuff Up
Due to a legislative tactic known as
"budget reconciliation," the Biden regime's $4.9-TRILLION SPENDING
SCAM can be passed with a simple majority vote in the Senate. All 50
Republicans in the Upper Chamber are opposed to pushing the U.S. off a fiscal
cliff into full-blown socialism.
Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (D-AZ) and Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) are the ONLY Democrats
currently opposed to the price tag of "Build Back Better." If either
of them votes "NO!", Democrats won't have the 50 votes they need to
have Kamala Harris cast the tie-breaking vote.
Sinema and Machin are on the tip of the spear in this battle to save America.
The pressure on those two Senators to give in to the Biden regime is
intensifying by the day. Why? Because they can save America from socialism!
They're the only Senate Democrats AGAINST spending trillions of taxpayer
dollars to enact Joe Biden's far-left un-American and unsustainable agenda.
The Biden regime's SOCIALIST SPENDING SCAM will
dictate who we are as a nation moving forward. Will America remain the land of
life, liberty, and limited government? Or will the radical, unhinged Left push
the United States off a fiscal cliff into full-blown socialism.
Contact your Senators…
Because … Radical Democrats and Rhino
Republicans are on record promoting paid leave, childcare,
"caregiving," police accountability, election "reform,"
affordable housing, fighting "climate change" and even packing the
Supreme Court as "infrastructure." To progressives, "infrastructure"
is whatever they say it is. The Unhinged Left is trying to use trillions of
taxpayer dollars to build a superhighway to socialism -- or worse!
A Note On the Kyle Rittenhouse Trial
Kyle Rittenhouse was
acquitted on all charges, but just as important, the American people also won a
great victory. The God-given principle of self-defense, and the 2nd Amendment
to the U.S. Constitution were just as victorious. Without these natural laws,
all others are rendered meaningless.
What was defeated was
the overly anxious concern for the guilty, the lack of concern for the
innocent, the long worn-out accusation of racism Democrats yell to the mob at
every turn, and the often-blatant display of specious righteous indignation.
Thanksgiving reminder
During this time of crisis and division, I often think of
Washington. Despite our problems, we
should give thanks to God for “peaceably establishing “ our form of government
– just as Washington did.
“To recommend to the People of the United States a day of public
thanksgiving and prayer to be observed by acknowledging with
grateful hearts the many signal favors do Almighty God…” George Washington,
1789 in his first inaugural address
The
Mayflower Compact
IN THE NAME OF GOD, AMEN. We, whose names are underwritten, the Loyal
Subjects of our dread Sovereign Lord King James, by the Grace of
God, of Great Britain, France, and Ireland,
King, Defender of the Faith, &c. Having undertaken for the
Glory of God, and Advancement of the Christian Faith, and the Honour of our
King and Country, a Voyage to plant the first Colony in the northern Parts
of Virginia; Do by these Presents, solemnly and mutually, in the
Presence of God and one another, covenant and combine ourselves together
into a civil Body Politick, for our better Ordering and Preservation, and
Furtherance of the Ends aforesaid: And by Virtue hereof do enact, constitute,
and frame, such just and equal Laws, Ordinances, Acts, Constitutions, and
Officers, from time to time, as shall be thought most meet and convenient for the general Good of the Colony;
unto which we promise all due Submission and Obedience.
IN WITNESS whereof we have hereunto subscribed our
names at Cape-Cod the eleventh of November, in the Reign of our
Sovereign Lord King James, of England, France,
and Ireland, the eighteenth, and of Scotland the
fifty-fourth, Anno Domini; 1620.
Happy Thanksgiving to
all!
