As I see the horror happening all across what was at one time the United States of America, but is now the American States, some of which are decidedly Socialist in nature, while others are still Republican in nature. By Republican I do not mean the political party, but rather the form of government. After all our nation was formed as a Republic, not a democracy. Democracies, ultimately fail, look to history and see the truth in this statement. A democratic or democracy form of government lends itself to the strong beating the weak into submission, which is what is happening all across our nation today.
The republican or republic form of government on the other hand is one that allows for protection for the weak, and allows for civil discourse to happen. I see that we have no longer a working republic, because we are being beaten by those who refuse to hold a conversation, it is their way or no way except destruction. They use whatever excuse they can to destroy, they do not wish civil discourse, there is not civility in burning, destroying property, looting and other atrocities which used to be seen as criminal activity, but is not told to be civil disobedience, or peaceful protest according to the likes of CNN, MSNBC and the rest of the main stream media.
What I see happening today, historically led to the Soviet Union, and more recently Venezuela, and Cuba, and now the Autonomous Area of Seattle Washington. There is apparently even a war lord there, and of course armed guards at all the entrances to their part of Seattle, and a Mayor and a Governor who are of course Socialists in their own right. If this is allowed to stand, who knows how long it will be before the thugs will attempt to extend their area of influence. Maybe we will see this sort of chaos spread to other parts of the State, until it becomes the Peoples Republic of Washington State.
The longer this goes on the more emboldened the fascists who are controlling all of this nonsense will become. Witness the burning of a Wendy’s in Atlanta, just because a black man was killed. Was it right that he died, I don’t think so, but destroying a man’s business because it happens to be the place where this began, seems to be a bit of overkill in the extreme. However the politicians keep making excuses for the excesses of their brown shirts, their fascist bullies who are wreaking havoc across our nation.
You may take umbrage at my use of the terms, brown shirts, or fascists, however this was the way the Socialists took over Germany in the 1930’s. They used the bullies to destroy businesses, they blamed it all on the Jews, to allow for taking over the businesses and the properties of the Jewish people and eventually killed 6 million of them, along with many thousands of Christians, Gypsies and other undesirables all in the need, they told people, for the cleansing of the nation under the 3rd Reich. Oh in Italy it was the black shirts, who did the dirty work for Mussolini. This of course led to WW II, and of course we entered the war because the Japanese surprise attack on Pearl Harbor. Today we call the Japanese and the Germans our allies, however we have not learned the lessons of World War two. We see it happening in our streets today.
I have been spending much time studying history, and the history of the Church, and I have seen much of mans inhumanity to men and women over the centuries. I know that God does not play favorites, he invites all to come and be a part of his Kingdom, and of course he sends his messengers to many places, hoping for some to move to become a member of the family. Yet I also see the wrongs of the Church over the centuries too. The church itself has caused the death of millions, by torture, and by other means because those millions did not toe the line. Now of course we have a different world in which we live, yet, we see governments in different nations forcing the christian worship to become State worship, (China), we see in parts of Africa groups such as Boko Haram killing, maiming, destroying whole villages because they were Christians. Even though those they killed did nothing to deserve the kind of destruction the killers visited upon them. They were peaceful loving people, growing crops, and sharing with any who had need.
We also see armies readying for war in the middle east, for no reason other than a 3000 year old hatred. The interesting part of this is that this people are actually cousins, their roots go back thousands of years, and they have been fighting each other for all those thousands of years.
Let me go back just a little bit, I said that God did not play favorites, any one who asked to be forgiven of being an enemy of God could be forgiven and brought back to a relationship, because God loved and loves his creation. Yet we humans don’t want his interference in our lives, or we don’t believe he even exists. Of course there is also the simple fact that many church groups have moved away from God, simply because they don’t like his teaching on sin. Here is what the apostle Peter said to Cornelius, a Roman Centurion, and his family.
“Act 10:34-35 CSB Peter began to speak: “Now I truly understand that God doesn’t show favoritism, (35) but in every nation the person who fears him and does what is right is acceptable to him.” By the way, that word “fears” is actually better translated as “in awe of”. The important part is that God does not play favorites, all who come to Him may be accepted by him. So another interesting thing is something that Jesus taught. Mat 22:37-40 NKJV Jesus said to him, ‘YOU SHALL LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART, WITH ALL YOUR SOUL, AND WITH ALL YOUR MIND.’ (38) This is the first and great commandment. (39) And the second is like it: ‘YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF.’ (40) On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets.”
I understand that sometimes it is difficult to love your neighbor, but if you act toward your neighbor as you would like them to act toward you, things might change between you. I am 75 years old, and a retired Pastor, and I try to act in this manner, I am not always successful but I do work at it. I love my God fully, I trust him to be with me in all the situations in life, and I do love my neighbors and know that sometimes, we might not see eye to eye on some things, but we do so in love and that means we allow for each other to agree to disagree. What I see in our nation today hurts my soul, I can only pray, I cannot stop or control what is going on around us. I do pray for a peaceful solution to what is becoming a terrible war with people who have decided they want only their way and refuse to compromise. I see so many people getting hurt, and some dying, because of the violence, the looting and the other things that are going on.
I shall continue to pray about all of this, confessing my own sins as I do and then confessing that our nation is full of sin and sinful people, and that I pray for each and every soul that is involved, on whatever side they may be. I especially pray for our politicians, in both houses and the executive as well as the Supreme Court. There is much sin and much hatred in these places, they need much prayer. Help me in this endeavor, if you are a Christian, you know that none of us is perfect, so we can all confess that we are sinners, saved by grace. Pray for yourself, your family, your friends, your community, on up the line. Lift our nation before God that the direction we are moving might be changed. Pray for an Awakening in our nation that we might turn back to our God.
Let me know what you think of all this. May God richly bless us in our time of prayer for our nation.

I have been reading and listening to some of the most inane and absolutely stupid comments about Jesus and his human parents, Jesus Son of God by the Holy Spirit, born of a virgin named Mary and with a human man as his step father. I hear that it is a good thing there was no fence or wall in Egypt otherwise Jesus would have died. Then there is the comment that Jesus and his parents were refugee’s.
Here is the reality of the story of the birth of Jesus Christ, his parents were forced to go to Bethlehem by a decree of the Ceasar (ruler of the empire) that said everyone was to go to their ancestral home to be registered (a census), and then pay their taxes. Sorry, no refugee status there, they were going to Bethlehem because Joseph was of the house of David, whose home town before becoming King was Bethlehem.
2 years give or take a month or so, Joseph and Mary and Jesus are now living in Bethlehem, and Joseph is probably working as a carpenter on one of the many projects that King Herod had going on at the time. Sages from the East come to Jerusalem and stop at the palace asking where the King of the Jews who was born could be found. The King asks his wise men and religious leaders the question and they say, in Bethlehem. Herod sends them on their way, tell me when you have found the child that I too may go to worship him. They journey to Bethlehem and the star leads them to the house where the family is living. They give gifts, gold, frankincense and Myrrh all very good gifts, both frankincense and myrrh were worth a great deal of local currency.
God warns the men from the East to go another route back home, and then tells Joseph to take Mary and Jesus and flee to Egypt, because Herod wants to kill Jesus. That gold that they got would help them along the way and feed and cloth them until Joseph finds work in Egypt. Just for the assistance of the poor uneducated Demonrats, again, not refugees, no wall because Egypt was a part of the Roman Empire, they were not entering the country illegally they were able to pay their way as recognized citizens of the Roman Empire.
It is a shame that these people want to politicize the birth narrative of Jesus and his family, they have such a hatred of Donald Trump and the Republican party that they will do anything to put them down. Trying to make Joseph, Mary and Jesus into modern day refugee’s is just a typical cheap shot, but even worse it is trying to say that God was powerless in the face of the situation. I listened to Rep. Gutierrez as he almost screamed that it was a good thing there was no wall in Egypt or Jesus would have died. That statement said that God did not know what God was about, and that this man knew the truth. The Holy Family would have been slaughtered if there had been a wall. What total nonsense, I am glad that he at least will not be back in the House come the new year.
Their hatred of our President has blinded them to the foolishness they are practicing. What do you think? Are these folks really unhinged?

Ecc 10:2 ESV A wise man’s heart inclines him to the right, but a fool’s heart to the left. It seems to me that we do see this in our own day, that the wise man is one who thinks things through and comes to a conclusion based on what he or she knows. I see so many of our politicians and bureaucrats sounding off without knowing what they are talking about. I see and hear so many of these people spouting nonsense, or speaking about what can or cannot be done by the President, and then go and put out the idea that they can pass legislation that will remove the President because they don’t like what he does or says. I think they ought to impeach themselves, since they seem to be committing treason against this nation as they rip us apart.
I hear these so called representatives of the people telling those who will listen to them that they ought to confront and force the members of the Presidents cabinet out of the public square. Actually saying that these folks are not to be allowed a dinner in a restaurant, simply because they work for the President of the United States. There are also those who have stated that they wish the President was taken out, a veiled threat to assassinate the President.
These who are the loudest of course are members of the House and Senate, threatening all sorts of vileness and then when a congressperson is shot at a baseball practice by a Democrat partisan, they disavow their complicity in this action. Yet the louder and more strident these politicians become the closer we get to complete anarchy. They say that those who are conservative are everything vile they can throw at us. From hate monger to homophobe, to racist, and a dozen or so other names they can conjure up. What happens when a person wearing a T-Shirt or a cap that says they support the President? They are attacked, and physically assaulted. I saw an article a couple of days ago about a Trump supporter who went to a rock concert, and one of the band members jumped off the stage and assaulted him.
Then we have this from Maxine Waters, congressperson from California. At a speech she was giving a few days ago, impeach Trump, impeach Trump. She said it over and over again, of course the partisan crowd went wild. She is also the one that started this idea of not allowing members of the cabinet have a moments peace, harassment is to be meted out whenever they can be seen anywhere.
Of course we also have the disgraced head of the CIA, Brennan, accusing the President of Treason, with absolutely no proof to be found anywhere. He lied to Congress about spying on members of the Senate Intelligence Committee. His CIA did just that, and got caught at it too, but he lied about it when asked by Sen. Diane Feinstein. His security clearance should have been pulled right then and there. Of course he is also the one who voted for a member of the Communist Party of the US for President of the USA. He never should have had a clearance to begin with.
So with all these attacks from the left against the POTUS, we have to ask who is the wise man and who is the fool? From where I sit, it appears to me that these Democrats who are trying to smear the President at every opportunity, are pretty much the fools. I hear all the calls for impeachment, the calls that say the President cannot do this or that, it is against the Constitution and he does not have the power to do what he is doing.
I truly begin to believe that these Demo(n)crats have never read the document they have sworn to uphold and defend. They act like the Constitution really doesn’t matter as long as they get their way. The President is acting within his enumerated powers, and if he says you cannot have a Security clearance for your gross negligence of tongue, you don’t have it anymore. When I was an E-6 on active duty I had a Security Clearance, because I handled stuff that was classified as a part of my job. When I became a civilian, I no longer had that clearance, because it was not a part of my civilian occupation. I was no longer in the military. It is high time that all those who held clearances and are no longer in government employment, to lose those clearances. This is a matter of National Security.
So the wise man seems to be the one that everybody is trying to destroy, and those who are making unfounded accusations are the fools on the left. What do you think?
I find myself in a quandary these days as I see people acting as if the world is coming to an end, and it is all because Donald Trump is now the President and he wants to destroy America. I hear a great deal about our “democracy” and how he is taking away our freedoms, and wants to deport millions of Mexicans who are here as immigrants. They forget the word illegal when they refer to these poor immigrants. Then a professor wants to allow a discussion to be held in his university and instead a horrible riot erupts, people do not want to allow this person to speak. Why? Because he has different views than they do and so his right to speech is offensive and he cannot therefore be allowed to voice his views.
Women wandering around in a big crowd, with signs saying they are against this, that, and the other thing, and wearing hats that are supposed to be a female sexual organ, what kind of people are these, and then one of them decides she will confess that she wants to blow up the white house. Where is the secret service? Why is this woman walking free? She wants to kill the president and any body else who happens to be in the White House at the time. Oh and we cannot forget Snoop Dog, who has a video out showing him shooting a clown made up like President Trump, where is the Secret Service on that one?
The Democrats promised that they would do everything they can to stop President Trump, and they have some lackey judges who are willing to join them in this, so they block a LEGAL order from the President of the United States to work to protect our nation. A limited time ban on people who do not have legal status to travel to our country while they put in place a better system for vetting those who are coming from these countries. It was OK when President Obama declared these countries as not able to come into our nation because of the same reason that President Trump had for his executive order.
The President stands up and addresses the Legislative branch of Government in a joint session, and the opposition won’t even stand to honor a widow, instead the widow is castigated by democrats and made to look like she was being used. The Democrats are no longer the loyal opposition, they are just the enemy of anything like civil discourse. As for Hollywood, they are the haters of the year, I did not watch any of their self-congratulation shows since I knew it was going to be a bash the President at every opportunity. I was of course correct in my assumption.
Perhaps, I have gotten too old (72), I remember civil discourse in the house of government, even when there was disagreement, it was still civil. Now, it is a war, and it is one that says take no prisoners, destroy everything that the other wants to do and if needed destroy the nation just so we win! Well, if they keep it up, none of us win, we all lose because there will be no government, no country, we will be a third-rate power after the destruction of our Constitution and our Bill of Rights, and even our Morality, which is already in tatters.
I don’t like the country that I see, I find it to be a dirty, dismal place, full of hatred and discord, and violence and I see no future for us if this continues. Listening to rhetoric from the fascist democrats I believe it will continue until there is no country left, they will destroy the nation trying to destroy the Presidency, because of their blind hatred of the man who holds the office.
I pray for our nation, but I am afraid that God has begun to withdraw his hand from America, his protection is no longer on us. Don’t sing God bless America, pray rather that God will forgive our iniquity, will forgive our hatred, our immorality, our telling God we don’t want him in our midst. Jesus Christ died to set us free from sin and here we are rejecting his teaching, so we can get drunk, have sex, abort babies, marry our same-sex partners, and all in the name of Secularism/Fascism. Forcing those who disagree with the hell we are making on earth, to pay fines and to close up their businesses because they still believe in the God of the universe.
If this is the world you want, I am glad that I belong to Jesus Christ, and this is not my home!
Rudy Giuliani did not identify properly the people that do not like America. The article below is much better at this identification. Most Liberals/Democrats hate this country. Check out the article, and comment if you wish.
