My wife and IAs I look around at what is going on in our nation, I see the divisions among us as citizens of this nation. We are being torn apart by those who wish to destroy our Republic, making it instead into a socialist nation claiming that they will give us all we need. Yet, as I look at socialist nations, such as Venezuela, Cuba, Russia, and China, I see that there are only 2 kinds of people in those countries. They are the members of the ruling class, and everybody else. Why do so many in our nation believe that this is a good thing? It leads to enslavement of those who are not a part of the ruling class. I ask you to take a look at what those in Washington D. C. are doing. I also ask you to look at the career politicians of both parties, they start out as regular people, and end up as millionaires. They do not really care about you and I, they just want to keep their power and the perks.
Now I want to turn to the Church, I have watched over the years and seen the disintegration of the church. I see the United Methodists getting ready to split into two different denominations no longer united. The Episcopalians splitting up also, and the Presbyterians who have become extremely split into many different types of their original grouping. I could go on, but you know what is happening in your own denominations. In the scriptures there is one letter to the early church that warns us about what is happening. Jude wrote these words in the late first century.
“But you must remember, beloved, the predictions of the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ. They said to you, “In the last time there will be scoffers, following their own ungodly passions.” It is these who cause divisions, worldly people, devoid of the Spirit.
(Jud 1:17-19 ESV)”
Just as politicians in both parties follow their own passions so too has the church in the world, become worldly. They follow the dictates of those who want to do their own thing, even though God has said it is sinful. Remember brethren that God will judge all of us, some will be Jesus’ people, we will see him as he is and will spend eternity in the heavenly realms with God. Those who have followed their own lusts, whether it be money, power, or sexual perversion, makes no difference. As the Apostle Paul wrote to the church in Rome: “Rom 6:23 For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.” (ESV)
Choose who you will follow, if Jesus then eternal life in the heavenly realms with God, if your own passions, it is eternal death in the lake of fire with Satan and all who have sinned and refused the gift of God.
I read this article this morning and knew that it needed to be read by others. This war has to stop, our President who we all hoped would bring us together, has instead moved us further apart by his rhetoric about guns and police. Please read this article, by a man of color who speaks the truth about what is going on today. It saddens me that we cannot seem to get beyond the hate rhetoric of Black Lives Matter, and the media who depict police and white people as all haters, then talk about killing cops. Our nation was better about race relations 8 years ago than we are today. It needs to change, we need to see one another as human beings instead of black, brown, red or white.
That was the dream of Martin Luther King, and it should be the fact among us as members of the human race. Let the anarchists, and race baiters go somewhere besides our country.
I’m literally fighting back tears as I write, again, about this prevalent injustice. They dont see us as individual human beings, but a group to be exploited, separated, and judged based on our pigmentation.

Mat 24:4-14 NKJV And Jesus answered and said to them: “Take heed that no one deceives you. (5) For many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will deceive many. (6) And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not troubled; for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. (7) For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various places. (8) All these are the beginning of sorrows. (9) “Then they will deliver you up to tribulation and kill you, and you will be hated by all nations for My name’s sake. (10) And then many will be offended, will betray one another, and will hate one another. (11) Then many false prophets will rise up and deceive many. (12) And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold. (13) But he who endures to the end shall be saved. (14) And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come.
In light of the happenings around the world today, I thought it appropriate to look at what the Bible says about what is happening in the Middle East. The gospel passage talks about how we who follow Christ as Christians can expect to be treated as we move forward into the future. Our nation is not specifically mentioned in scripture, however, we are made up of people descended from Noah and his sons, so we are a part of the greater scheme of Biblical prophecy. Our nation like the others in this time is becoming more and more immoral, and apostate. We claim to be Christian, but act as the rest of the world acts. More and more we see lawlessness in our cities and towns, just as we see in Europe and other countries. We also see many churches turning from the good news of salvation to the teachings of the world, there is no god, or there are myriad gods. Even the Pope, the Emperor of the Roman Empire today, has said the we and the Jews and Muslims all worship the same god.
Shamefully we do worship the prince of this world in many places and in many churches. Saddleback Church in California even had an Imam come and bring the Easter message. Other churches of mainline denominations have also walked away from the truth of God’s word to the lies of the prince of this world.
In what we refer to as the Old Testament in the book of Ezekiel, the 38th and 39th Chapters there is an interesting prophecy, it is known as the Gog/Magog war. This is a war that is to be fought between Israel and many nations including the people of Magog who are ruled by one known as the Gog in the prophecy. The nations listed as being involved are: Rosh, Meshech, and Tubal. Along with: Persia, Ethiopia, Libya, Gomer and Togarmah. These names of course don’t mean much to those who have grown up not learning the history of the world, nor the geography of the world. So, these are the nations that are being spoken of in this passage.
Rosh, modern-day Russia; Magog – Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Afghanistan; Meshech – Turkey this includes Tubal Gomer Beth-Togarmah; Persia – Iran; Cush – Ethiopia and Sudan; Put – Libya. These are the children and grandchildren of the sons of Shem, Ham and Japheth.
Shem: is the father of the Semitic people, this includes Jews, Arabs, Babylonians, Assyrians, Arameans and Phoenicians. Note that historically the people in this list have been enemies of the Jews for thousands of years.
Ham: is the father of Ethiopians, Egyptians, Canaanites, Philistines, as well as people of Africa and perhaps Oriental people as well.
Japheth: is the father of the Medes, Greeks, the Caucasian people of Europe and of Northern Asia.
This list is found in Genesis 10 if you want to look it up.
The reason this is important is that this war will include Russia and most of the Muslim nations of today. We find that these nations are fighting amongst themselves and that the USA has gotten itself entangled in this internecine warfare. The truth is that because of political machinations that have occurred there has been a vacuum of leadership in this part of the world and tumult has resulted. The problems have opened up things that should not have happened but have.
We Americans are now in a very bad position as far as this entire area of the world, and we have turned our backs on our ally Israel in favor of some of the more militant nations, who are also anti-Jewish and anti-American. This has now opened up the very real possibility of the Gog/Magog war becoming a reality in our lifetime.
It is entirely possible that we will find ourselves moving in the direction of being a part of the horde that forms this great army that will move against Israel, because our nation is made up of members of all these people as well as Jewish people. It behooves us as Christian people to read the Old Testament as well as the new, simply because both together, give a bigger picture of God and His activity in our world and with those who are called by His name. Make no mistake, if you say you are a Christian, you are called by His name, for Jesus Christ is God.
There is also the truth that Jesus taught about what is coming for you and I who say we are followers of Jesus Christ. Remember what Jesus said about the time when there will be all the problems to be faced:
Matthew 24:8-10 (8) All these are the beginning of sorrows. (9) “Then they will deliver you up to tribulation and kill you, and you will be hated by all nations for My name’s sake. (10) And then many will be offended, will betray one another, and will hate one another.”
In an article written on September 30th the following item was reported: “It should come as no surprise that Christians will encounter opposition to their Biblical beliefs at the workplace. What might surprise them is that expressing those beliefs both at work and at home (such as social media) could cost them their job.
The latest victim of workplace firing to lose his case is Urologist Dr. Paul Church who was relieved from Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston earlier this year and was just recently denied a chance to appeal his case. Church’s offense was warning of the health risks of homosexual behavior and questioned the judgment of a hospital promoting such unhealthy behavior.
Church was told by hospital superiors that his views about homosexuality were “discrimination” and “harassment” and that the Bible verses he used to define homosexuality were equally “offensive”.”
A doctor is fired for trying to point out simple truth, and of course was not allowed to appeal the firing because he talked about something that the administration has found to be discrimination. His offense was that of trying to do his job as a doctor. There are other cases as well, and it is very much true that trying to live your Christian beliefs and lifestyle can get you fired from your job. The most famous of these is: Or you could just give money to support a cause that is not in support of Homosexuality such as Brendan Eich did when he contributed $1,000 to Proposition 8 in California. Proposition 8 was a ballot initiative to write into California law that marriage is exclusively between a man and a woman.
Brendan Eich was one of the co-founders of Mozilla, which is well-known for the popular Firefox browser. Eich had been with the company since its founding but this didn’t stop the board from forcing him out of his position as CEO due to this discovery…a “crime” he committed six years prior in 2008 as a private citizen. Ironically, President Obama was also stating his support for marriage defined the same way at this point in time.
Nowhere in the outcry against Eich was it ever stated that he tried to proselytize others into believing as he did. He was not accused of any discriminatory practices against homosexuals. In fact, Mozilla has a “same-sex partners” provisions written into their insurance policies, and Eich even stated that he would enforce these provisions, even though he didn’t believe in them.
This however was not enough to satisfy those on their politically correct witch hunt and Mitchell Baker, the chairman of the board, stated after the dismissal that people had a right to be angry at Eich’s appointment as CEO.
Increasingly we who are Christians will be forced into positions that demand we give up our belief in God, and support those things that God has stated in the scriptures are sin. It is of course always the given free will that God has endowed us with that we must exercise. So the decision that we are to make is to choose God or the World. As Joshua put it when the people of Israel were about to enter the land of Canaan, we are to choose life or death. Heaven or Hell, that is why Hobby Lobby and Chick-fil-A fought so hard against the government intrusion into their beliefs. It is why a group of nuns are still fighting the government over being forced to accept birth control and abortion in their health care. The world will continue to push against the Word of God and those who have chosen to follow Christ instead of the World order.
War is coming, and it is not going to be pretty either. Once it begins there will be even greater loss of life in the Middle East than has already happened. War is also coming to our towns and cities, because of the enemies of God wanting to change our world into one that follows Satan instead of God. Each of us will have to choose which one to follow, which one will we give our complete loyalty and trust to?
Will we who call ourselves Christians continue to follow Christ? Remember that he died on the cross at Calvary for each of us, he loved us before we even knew we needed a savior.
Mat 24:32-33 “Now learn this parable from the fig tree: When its branch has already become tender and puts forth leaves, you know that summer is near. So you also, when you see all these things, know that it is near—at the doors! “ As we move into the next few months and years, watch carefully, that is the lesson of the fig tree. When you see things happening you know that it is coming closer. We know that when it begins to be cooler in the daytime, it is coming on fall, when the days get shorter, Christmas and winter are coming. Well now we see what is happening in the middle east, we see that there are many little wars all over the world, there are earthquakes, and volcanoes exploding all across the globe.
For October 2nd there were 37 Earthquakes of 2.5 or greater, worldwide. For the week ending October 2nd there were 97 Earthquakes of 4.5 or greater, worldwide. Volcanic activity in the last few days is also worldwide Guatemala activity is spewing ash into the sky and up to 5 km long lava flow. Tokara Islands near Japan has an eruption with the glow from the volcanic activity seen from a neighboring island. 27 Sep Bougainville Island near Papua New Guinea Volcanic Ash plume up to 7,000 ft in the air. Mauna Loa in Hawaii shows much activity with a very large lava lake and runs from the crest down the sides, 10/2 photo. Mt Etna in Italy, with lava flow and steam on 10/2 photo. These are just a few of the volcanoes active today around the world.
The scriptures also speak of these things as well as famine and sickness of various types, this too has been seen and will be seen again. From Ebola, to Bird Flu and other infectious diseases. All of these are signs of the times, we need to be ready.
God has said that he will be with us, that the Holy Spirit will give us the ability to speak to our friends and neighbors, and that is to be our duty toward our neighbors and families, that they may be saved from the wrath to come. In that time of tribulation millions will die and go into eternity either to heaven or to hell. It is our job to try to get as many as possible to at least hear the good news of salvation, to know that God is willing that none should perish. That does not mean that if you are a nice person you will automatically enter heaven.
Joh 14:6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.” We cannot save anyone, but we can introduce them to the one who saves, who brings them into the presence of God. Many will deny, will say no, but some will accept the invitation will join us on our journey to eternal life in the presence of almighty God.
I don’t know about anyone else, but I do know that I would like to hear the words “Well done thou good and faithful servant” when I stand before God and receive the sure knowledge that I did what I could to bring others with me into the full embrace of the family of God.

The more I read, the more news about Jade Helm on the news channels, the more I wonder if we are not signing our own death warrant as a nation. The Federal Government elites don’t care one whit about you and I, they only care about themselves and their own power. We as a free society have the right to protect ourselves, that is the intent of our Constitution. It may be that Jade Helm is truly just a training exercise, but what are they training for? The link is to an article that may very well tell us the truth about what our Federal Government is up to. Check it out for yourself and decide. Let me know what you think.

Marijuana, is a very dangerous drug, for one thing it has 20 times the amount of carcinogens than tobacco, Lung Cancer anyone? Colorado is learning about this drug and auto accidents (DUI). There have been a few studies that show just what kind of problems arise from the use of this drug. Here are just 2:
“Cannabis–‐Related ED Visits Rise in States With Legalized Use,” Academy of Addiction Psychiatry (AAAP), 25th Annual Meeting, (www.ibhinc.org) December 2014
“Cannabis Use Is Quantitatively Associated with Nucleus Accumbens and Amygdala Abnormalities in Young Adult Recreational Users,” Journal of Neuroscience, 16 April 2014, 34(16): 5529-5538
The problems are escalating greatly in states that have legalized use of this drug. In young people there are definite changes in the brain. Please also note that with prolonged use, you will probably develop the old “Cigarette Cough”, this leads to lung problems later in life such as Emphysema and cancer. Today’s cannabis is much stronger that it was in the 60’s. In some strains up to 30% stronger THC. This is a drug that leads to all kinds of problems, not the least of which is psychosis. The Emergency Rooms in places where cannabis is legal, are experiencing a big uptick in overdose cases, where psychosis is one of the many problems seen.
Now I am not against people being able to do those things that seem right to them, but I am also not willing to see medical costs skyrocket as this stuff gets more and more use across our nation. There is a reason for the ban on these drugs, and it is because of what they do to people. Read the history of why drugs were banned in this country over a hundred years ago, it was not a pretty picture.
These politicians don’t care about the science, they only care about taxing the industry created by the legalization of this drug. They claim that they are doing away with crime, but the black market is thriving, because of the taxes on the product. Criminals don’t pay sales tax. The politicians (criminals) that want to legalize this stuff are only interested in their own ability to control the population, they don’t care that it will cause people to die horrible deaths just as they yell and scream about tobacco. Check out what the true science tells us, then, if you want to kill your children, destroy more lives including your own, continue down this path. The libertarians are wrong on this one, I like Stossel but he is dead wrong on legalization of drugs.

We are over 205 TRILLION in debt, not the 18 trillion (doubled in 7 years by Obama and the Democrats). Is it any wonder that the government doesn’t want to report on the true state of our economy?
The magic of establishment economics – Personal Liberty.
I do hope you will read this installment of the truth from Personal Liberty, because it is WAY past time to remove these people (democrats and republicans), these career politicians from office. It makes little difference which party these men and women are in, they are all working to feather their own nest, not to return our nation to the Constitution that will make them stop the foolishness. Government should not be growing, it should be shrinking. It should not take over our Schools, it should be protecting our borders. Government should not be giving away money that we don’t have to those who want to destroy us, yet money is flowing out to countries that have a vested interest in our destruction. Of course the Clinton Foundation is receiving billions from China, Saudi Arabia, and others who do not want to see us prosper.
Career politicians, democrat and republican, and I include Jeb Bush, Hillary Clinton, Chuck Shumer, John Cornyn and others in this statement. Must be seen for the people they truly are, and rejected as our representatives, they do not represent you and I they represent themselves. They have gotten rich from their years in office, they line their own pockets, and continue to tax us into poverty.
40 million people on Food Stamps, is absolutely outrageous, so is 100 million unemployed or under employed. Wake up folks, see this government for what it is, a place where career politicians continue to get rich, continue to grow the control of our population by increased bureaucracy, that is unelected people who issue rules and regulations that become more and more convoluted every year. They stifle your ability to get ahead in the name of fighting poverty, while we the people sink deeper into the morass of poverty ourselves.

Page Nine. This is a blog which gives us information on what is really going on. Iran is not going to stop, nor slow down it production of U235 (Bomb Material) so that it can wipe Israel off the map. Of course they also will make the land uninhabitable for the foreseeable future. Of course they really don’t care since they believe that Allah tells them to do this and it will bring the 12 Imam to life so that they can take over the world.

Filed under: Culture, Happening Now | Tags: Irving TX, Muslims, Sharia, State Government
Well here it is folks, there is now a Sharia Court in North Texas, USA. The tribunal court Judge Dr. Taher el-Badawi says that “All our decisions point back to the Koran and Sunna … and what the prophet Mohammed left to us.” according to an interview on KEYE TV. Since when do we allow foreign courts to operate in our country? Our Court systems operate under our laws, our Constitution yet these people have decided that they cannot operate under our Constitution, that they have to operate under their own laws, their own religious texts. They say that they do not take cases that would be considered criminal, so that they do not have any cases requiring stoning (such as adultery), or removing hands (thieves), but how do we know that this is not coming?
In Europe, France in particular, the Muslim populations have areas where the local authorities dare not enter, there they do practice these types of punishment, so why do we think that this is not coming to our homeland. This is ludicrous, if you live in the USA, you abide by our laws and our Constitution. If these are not acceptable, return to where you came from and live under Sharia there.
Also, where are the local authorities? Why is this being allowed in the USA, in Texas? Where is the State government? Have we sunk to this level even here in Texas? The AG, the Governor, the House and Senate should be working to end this before it goes any further. This is not Saudi Arabia, or any other of these places in the middle east, we are not under their laws, we are under our own laws this is still our country I believe.

There is a book that will be coming out soon that you might want to read. It talks about another one of the fun things that Obama and his science friends have come up with. Of course they all are followers of Darwin and think that we human beings are actually a hindrance to the rest of the life on this planet. I thought the Al Gore and his buddies with their climate change nonsense were bad, these people are 100 times worse.
Check out this excerpt from the book that will be coming out written by John G West, a followup to his 2007 book “Darwin Day in America: How Our Politics and Culture Have Been Dehumanized in the Name of Science (ISI Books)”.
If nothing else it will make you uncomfortable about the direction this country is taking under this administration. Eugenics is raising its ugly head again, and it preaches that inferiors should be done away with so that the eugenicist can cleanse our society of the weak and infirm. In this way, genetic manipulation can move us into super humans.
I love science but these people are really out in far left field, but, just read this excerpt for yourself, it is only 3 pages long a pretty quick read. You might stop back and let me know what you think after you have read this piece.
