“ICE acting Director Todd Lyons, as well as the Archdiocese of Boston, are calling for the removal of an “ICE was here” sign that was placed at a Nativity scene at a Massachusetts church.
“The actions of the activist reverend, Stephen Josoma, are absolutely abhorrent and add to a dangerous narrative responsible for a more than 1,150% increase in assaults on ICE officers,” Lyons told Fox News Digital in a statement.
A Nativity scene at St. Susanna Parish in Dedham, a suburb of Boston, shows an empty manger with a sign reading “ICE was here,” along with contact information for a group that monitors immigration enforcement in Massachusetts.
Rev. Stephen Josoma, the pastor at St. Susanna, said the church’s peace and justice group organizes a display annually. Josoma told Fox News that they, “try to see what would it be like if Christ was born into the context of the world today, what would he be facing?” (Courtesy FoxNews.com)
Growing up, I can remember that the Nativity Scene was among the first things that we put out when decorating the house for Christmas. Being a Christian family, it was our way of honoring the birth of God’s Son. My parents’ politics, which by the way were Southern Democrat, that is before Reagan, had nothing to do with it. Far left nut jobs like this Activist Priest, think nothing of blaspheming Jesus Christ and his mission on Earth by rewriting it and ignoring the fact that we are told to “Give unto Caesar that which is Caesars and unto God that which is God’s.” It is the introduction of man’s politics and preferences that has led to Americans electing not to go to church anymore. Man’s heart hungers for the Word of God. The rest of the week we are bombarded by what people like this political activist who desecrated the Nativity Scene want. Man’s heart aches to know what God wants. Illegal immigrants are not migrants. They have chosen to enter this country illegally in order to acquire the blessings of being an American with none of the responsibilities while continuing to wave the flag of the country they came from. That is nothing to be honored or accepted. There is a right way and a wrong way to do everything. This Illegal Invasion which our country is experiencing is the wrong way and that nut job activist should be defrocked. Have a blessed and restful Sunday.
“A new children’s book of Bible stories claims that the Bible has “made-up” stories and events in its pages, drawing criticism from a leading Evangelical parachurch ministry.
The Just Love Story Bible, authored by Rev. Dr. Jacqui Lewis and Rev. Dr. Shannon Daley-Harris, reimagines 52 stories from the Old and New Testaments, weaving in gender ideology, LGBT and social justice themes.
Featuring illustrations by artist Cheryl “Ras” Thuesday, the “justice-oriented” story Bible depicts characters in “rich shades of brown” along with “cultural, religious, and historical context to help kids learn about the experiences of people in ancient times,” including a reimagined version of the book of Genesis, which the authors claims was written not only by Moses but by “lots of different storytellers.”
In the book’s introduction to Genesis, the authors, who are part of the Presbyterian Church (USA), write, “Some of the stories had made-up characters and events. Others were about real people and things that really happened.”
…On her church’s website, Lewis describes her congregation as “a Christian universalist, multicultural, multiethnic rainbow coalition,” where she advocates for “global peace, racial equality, religious freedom, gun control, economic justice, equal rights for all genders/sexual orientations, and marriage equality.” (Courtesy ChristianPost.com)
A Christian “Church” who believes that the Bible is NOT the Word of God is not a CHRISTIAN Church,
It can call itself a Social Justice Center.
It can call itself a Tabernacle of Wokeness.
However, if you devalue the Bible, the Holy Scriptures which are a “two-edged sword” and the key to learning about the foundation of the Christian Faith, then you are studying modern culture and not the history of the Hebrew people and the House of David, from whose lineage came Jesus Christ, the Prince of Peace.
Catholics, Episcopalians, Lutherans, and even some Southern Baptists have allowed popular culture to change their focus from God’s Word to man’s politics.
“Wokeness” has taken the place of “Righteousness”.
The rise of “Wokeness” within Christian Churches is something that is literally tearing apart the fabric of our country.
The only conclusion that I, as a Christian American, can reach is the fact that our Sovereign Nation continues to be in the midst of SPIRITUAL WARFARE for its very soul.
Make no mistake about it, boys and girls, EVIL EXISTS.
My friends, I believe that we are fighting a war against “princes and principalities”. Evil is still alive and well and flourishing in a world in which relative morality and situational ethics are increasingly being accepted as normal behavior.
We see it every day around us.
Churches used to be a place to refresh the soul and to experience the presence of the Holy Spirit through corporate worship.
Too many have become concert venues and political rallies.
That is one reason why Charlie Kirk was so popular among young people. They were seeking biblical truth, and he explained it to them.
Now, those young people whose lives he touched and who’s Ministry is continuing to touch, are buying Bibles and reading for themselves.
And, the same young people are seeking Church homes that are biblically sound.
I pray that they find them.
Christians repent of their sins. They don’t celebrate them.
Today at State Farm Arena in Glendale, AZ, over 100,000 people, including the President and Vice-President of the United States of America and several dignitaries, will come together to honor and remember the life of Conservative Activist/Evangelist Charlie Clark.
Struck down by an assassin’s bullet in the prime of his life at only 31 years old, Charlie not only leaves behind his beautiful wife Erika and their two precious children, he leaves behind a legacy of honesty, intelligence, patriotism, and faith.
Charlie’s passion was debating young people, answering their questions about politics and faith in an honest and impactful way.
He went straight into the lion’s den, holding events in colleges and universities where Far Left professors were teaching young people that traditional American faith and values were divisive, narrow-minded, and passé.
Charlie invited everyone to ask questions of him and answered their questions clearly, thoughtfully, and fairly.
When a student came up and tried to give him a gotcha question, Charlie smiled and turned the tables on them in a polite manner that they probably had never seen before from their Far Left propagandizing professors.
Charlie amazed people with his knowledge and his debating skills.
Having dropped out of college to pursue his dream of turning around the pervasive ideology that had invaded college campuses, Charlie surprised both students and professors by his expansive knowledge of history and his own Christian faith.
Like Rush Limbaugh before him, Charlie Kirk became an enemy of those who want to change America into something that it was never meant to be, changing our Constitutional Republic into a Democratic Socialist totalitarian government in which individual rights are supplemented to the will of the State.
That is the reason that a propagandized and brainwashed individual, egged on by others unknown to us at this time, shot and killed Charlie on that faithful day, one day before the anniversary of the worst terrorist attack in American history.
Since then, those same forces who have attempted to propagandize our young people against America, have been loud and vocal, making up lies against Charlie and posting them on social media in a fervent attempt to destroy his legacy.
They are losing their battle, as millions of Americans will be watching the memorial service today for Charlie Kirk, having sworn to the Lord above and in their own hearts to carry on the fight of Charlie Kirk for God and Country, as they proudly proclaim…
“U.S. Catholic Bishops are citing Nazis, slave catchers, and replacement babies as they try to slam President Donald Trump’s popular immigration policies.
The bishops are also urging open borders, parroting cheap-labor demands from business groups, and pretending that illegal migrants are not illegal.
One Bishop is even endorsing President George W. Bush’s “Any Willing Worker” migration policies as an alternative to Trump’s pro-prosperity policies.
The slave-catcher and Nazi argument was pushed by Bishop Mark Brennan, the Bishop of Wheeling-Charleston in West Virginia.
“ICE agents and other officials “cannot escape personal responsibility for an unjust action with the excuse that it was ordered by their superiors,” he wrote to Catholics in his diocese, according to an August 7 report:
That defense was not allowed during the Nuremberg trials of Nazi war criminals at the end of World War II. The judges held that a soldier, guard or official, who authorized or engaged in gross violations of human rights, was personally responsible for his acts.
We the people should also remember our history. The Fugitive Slave Act, passed by Congress as part of the Compromise of 1850 — an attempt to calm the tensions between slave states and free states — required not only local police but ordinary citizens to assist federal marshals in returning escaped slaves to their Southern masters or face heavy fines and jail time.”
His language echoes the elite-funded, pro-migration Cato Institute.
Trump’s deportations are wrong because business needs cheap labor, according to Archbishop Thomas Wenski, the Archdiocese of Miami.” (Courtesy Breitbart.com)
Billions of dollars have gone to churches for use in supporting illegal immigration, as nationally syndicated radio host Todd Starnes reported back in February…
“There are a number of Christian ministries and publications that are outraged over President Trump’s mass deportations.
One major far-left Christian magazine published an essay claiming even Jesus was a refugee – which he was not. The insinuation is that if you oppose the illegal aliens, you oppose Jesus.
But it turns out their anger may not be so much about the loss of the illegals as it is the loss of their cash cow. These holier-than-thou woke preachers are not fleecing the flock. They’re fleecing American taxpayers.
President Trump issued an executive order stripping federal money to a number of so-called charities that are supposedly using the cash to help illegals.
Catholic Charities received $1.4 billion in tax money. The Lutherans got nearly $100 million and Church World Services got $20.5 million.
Remember the bishop at National Cathedral – the one who attacked President Trump from the pulpit? Her denomination’s immigration ministry got $53 million in tax money.
The great irony is that many of these far-left Christian groups are among the loudest voices hollering about separation of church and state.
But when it comes to a government hand-out — they’re quiet as church mice.”
The Catholic Bishops seem to be ignoring the fact that church-sponsored NGOs profited highly off of their mercenary “charity”.
You will also notice that they seem to be advocating using illegal aliens as menial laborers.
As others have brought up, in our technological world, the need for “migrants” to pick crops has diminished greatly.
My question is, at what point does the organized Church stop doing God’s work and become immersed in man’s politics?
Jesus Christ told us to “render unto Caesar that was a Caesars and to render under God that which is God’s.”
Churches that have embraced the Liberal philosophy of the Democrat Party have blurred the line between teaching the Holy Bible and the Democrat platform.
By advocating illegal entry into our Sovereign and profiting from it through their non-governmental organizations, these churches are purposely ignoring God’s word for profit.
“The U.S. House Committee on Homeland Security and Subcommittee on Oversight, Investigations, and Accountability have announced the launch of an investigation into more than 200 nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), including two major Catholic nonprofits, that provided taxpayer-funded services to migrants during the Biden administration.”
Didn’t Christ run the money changers out of the temple with a bullwhip?
The past several days, famous deaths did not come in 3 but in four: Malcolm-Jamal Warner of The Cosby Show, Ozzy osbourne, heavy metal Superstar, Chuck Mangione wonderful jazz instrumentalist, and the “Real American” who brought professional wrestling to the world’s people who had never paid any attention to it before, Hulk Hogan.
Before I start, I want you all to understand that I recognize that Terry Bollea, known professionally as Hulk Hogan, was a flawed man.
However, we all have our flaws, as there was only one Perfect Man who died for our sins.
My Daddy was a professional wrestling fan, having grown up in the Greatest Generation, whose wrestling heroes included the great Lou Thesz and fabulous Jackie Fargo.
Being Memphis born and bred, my wrestling heroes included Jackie Fargo, Eddie Marlin, and Tommy Gilbert
Then, out of nowhere, came this loud mouth named Jerry Lawler, who becamr a legend, and wound up having a hand in training dozens of young professional wrestlers, including a young guy that they called Flex Kavana in Memphis, who wound up being the Rock.
Oh, and there was this guy named Hulk Boulder who came through, also.
You guessed it. That was Hulk Hogan.
Hogan tapped into and influenced the popular culture of the 1980s in a way that no wrestler ever has and possibly never will.
Hogan and WWF owner Vince McMahon marketed Hogan to the point where everybody knew who he was and either watched the wrestling shows that the then-WWF produced or their kids did while holding on to their stuffed Wrestling Buddy doll of Hulk Hogan.
The WWF grew from a regional wrestling company operating mainly in the Northeast to a worldwide juggernaut.
Hulk Hogan appeared in movies and starred in an action series on TV, which was produced at Disney World.
The explosion of cable television channels, including MTV, accelerated the popularity of Hogan and the WWF to the point where music industry stars like Cyndi Lauper guest starred at the company’s pay-per-view extravaganza, Wrestlemania.
Eventually, Hogan and McMahon had a falling out due to a court case involving steroid usage in which Hogan testified against McMahon.
Hogan signed with WCW, a rival organization which did not last long.
From there, Hogan’s professional career started spiraling downward as he wound up with an even smaller company known as TNA.
His personal life wasn’t doing well at all, as his family fell apart as a casualty of his fame and wealth.
Hulk was still making personal appearances and even reconciled with McMahon, participating in some matches in the now-WWE in his later years.
In the last few years, something happened to Hulk Hogan that was undoubtedly the best thing to ever happen to him. He got remarried to a young woman, and they both found our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and were baptized
Hulk Hogan started sharing his faith.
Those who saw him in public and private said he never seemed happier.
The Saga of Hulk Hogan, the man who changed professional wrestling into how we know it today, is not a story of a celebrity who went from rags to riches to rags again.
Rather, it was about a man who experienced the heights of wealth and fame only to find out what truly matters: the love and forgiveness that Our Redeemer brings.
Christian Conservatives such as myself and my friends often get into discussions on Social Media concerning the mass deportation of illegal immigrants ordered by President Donald J Trump.
They give us instructions as to how we should think and act towards those who are here illegally.
I felt that they deserved a more complete answer,
So, hold on to something. Here we go.
Romans 13:1-7 This Biblical passage leaves no doubt that God expects us to obey the laws of the government. The only exception to this is when a law of the government is in opposition to one of God’s commands (Acts 5:29).
Illegal immigration is the breaking of a governmental law. There is no scripture in the Holy Bible that contradicts a nation having immigration laws. Therefore, it is a sin, rebellion against God, to illegally enter into another country.
Illegal immigration is definitely a controversial issue, not only in the United States, but in European countries, as well, as they are being invaded by Muslims who are setting up Sharia Law in countries such as the United Kingdom, Sweden, and Denmark.
The fact of the matter is, Romans 13:1-7 does not give any Christian permission to violate a law just because it is unjust. Again, the issue is not the fairness of a law.
So, what is the Biblical Solution to illegal immigration? Simple…don’t do it; obey the laws.
Liberals tend to attempt to set the boundaries and to change the teachings of Jesus Christ to fit with their “political collective” mindset. The turning of a political situation, such as “The Migrant Caravans”, into a “humanitarian catastrophe” is just the most recent example.
Their claim concerning Salvation is framed in similar terms.
Liberal Democratic pundits both professional and amateur, put forth the opinion that Salvation is a group experience, likening it to a political movement, which could not be further from the truth, couching their political ideology-driven benevolence behind the term “Social Justice”.
I do not believe that Jesus would be a part of the Social Justice Movement.
His was and is a soul-saving movement. One that still brings hundreds of thousands of people to Salvation on this terrestrial ball every day.
A movement that, in fact, was embraced by the Founders of this cherished land.
It is interesting to me, that the “most caring people in the room”, the members of the Far Left Democtratic Party, whom, under normal circumstances, want Conservative American Christians to sit down, shuddup, and limit their faith to Sunday mornings from 10 a.m. – Noon, lecture us about how we should support their “Illegal Immigrant Initiative”.
Coming here in a legal manner is not only the law, it is essential for us to continue to be a Sovereign Nation.
The Oath of Allegiance for U.S. citizenship is as follows:
“I hereby declare, on oath, that I absolutely and entirely renounce and abjure all allegiance and fidelity to any foreign prince, potentate, state, or sovereignty, of whom or which I have heretofore been a subject or citizen; that I will support and defend the Constitution and laws of the United States of America against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; so help me God.”.
As we have seen in the ongoing coordinated protests against the mass deportation of illegal immigrants, illegals continue to waive the flag of their country that they claim they have “escaped” from.
The waving of the flag of the country that you came from what happened and the burning of our flag demonstrate that you feel no allegiance to America and that you take for granted the benevolent benefits that you have taken advantage of here.
And, it also shows that you are evading the responsibilities of being an American citizen.
As our Founding Fathers and those who have given their lives for this country have so bravely shown us in the past, our American Freedom, our Liberty, comes with responsibility.
As God’s word tells us,
“Render therefore unto Caesar the things which be Caesar‘s, and unto God the things which be God’s.” – Luke 20:25
This morning, as I was sitting down to try to write my opinion on some political subject, I started watching Fox and Friends about the horrible disaster in Central Texas that has taken over 50 lives of men, women, and children, including girls attending Christian Camp Mystic.
Young girls with their whole life ahead of them drowned as the area received over 20 in of rain and the dam on the Guadalupe River In Hunt, TX busted wide open.
At the same time, I received word yesterday of a co-worker who had passed away within a week after finding out that he had cancer that had metastasized.
As you get older, you start thinking more and more about how finite our lives here on Earth are.
You lose friends and family and even though you are not supposed to, you wonder what God’s plan is for your life and for those of the other fragile humans whom you care about and you grieve for those whom you have lost along the way.
As a Christian, while we as Christians go through this life “Saved by Grace” and “Standing on the Promises of God”, we can not help but think and wonder when, as the black Union soldiers in the Civil War drama “Glory” were getting ready for their final battle spoke and sang about, when that “Great Getting Up Morning” will be,
The “Good News”, as the great old hymns tell us, is that we can find comfort knowing that we have the “Blessed Assurance” that “His Eye is On the Sparrow”
“…and I know He watches me.”
God bless all the First Responders and those who are leading the search for possible survivors.
May God comfort all the families and friends of those whose lives were touched by the victims of this catastrophe and those who have lost everything.
As you have probably noticed by now, the Far Left Democrats of the Democrat Elite have had it out for Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth since President Trump nominated him.
This past week, he did nothing to quench the fire of their hatred for him.
“In a move that pushes the boundaries of Constitutional prohibition against a state religion, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth hosted an evangelical prayer service in the middle of the day at the Pentagon in which a pastor praised President Donald Trump as “sovereignly appointed.”
A program for the event called it the “Secretary of Defense Christian Prayer and Worship Service.” It was held at the Pentagon’s auditorium and was broadcast throughout the building on its internal cable network.
While Hegseth made an opening prayer, the majority of the service was run by the defense secretary’s personal pastor from a Tennessee church whose leaders have a documented history of advocating for male-led Christian authority over society.
Standing behind a podium bearing the logo of the Defense Department, Hegseth declared that “this is precisely where I need to be, exactly where we need to be as a nation, at this moment in prayer, on bended knee, recognizing the providence of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ,” according to an audio recording of the event obtained by Military.com.
A video of the service was also posted online by the Defense Department.
Hegseth proceeded to add that the prayer service was voluntary but encouraged those in attendance to “let those you work with know about it.” (Courtesy Military. Com)
The slant that the writer of this article put on the actions of Secretary Hegseth and the resulting reaction of the Far Left Democrat Party is funny in a sad way and quite telling.
Christianity has had its place among our Best and Brightest since the birth of our nation.
In his Farewell Address, Former General and United States President George Washington recommended Christianity to the nation and anybody who was listening.
Heck, even hard charger U.S. General George S Patton was asked by reporter, after seeing a Bible on his desk, if he read the Bible. His reply was, “Yes, ma’am. Every goddamn day.”
During the last several years, as Democrats held power in Washington DC, they tried their best to eliminate any sign of Christianity from our Armed Forces.
That, in itself, was unconstitutional.
And now, they are coming back crying because for all their efforts, faith in the God of Abraham, His Son, and the Holy Spirit is starting to flourish as people realize that something wrong has happened to our nation.
The majority of Americans want what is best for our Sovereign Nation.
And, what’s best for America is not the worship of corruption, greed, the treatment of women as arm candy, and the tearing apart of the basic family unit into mockeries of the same.
A friend of mine posted on Facebook this morning that the military is starting to find that people who may enlist aren’t necessarily qualified because of a weakness of body and/or spirit.
That is in direct correlation to where leaders who worship totalitarian government and all the corruption that it brings in our daily lives have led us over the past several years.
In order for our country to survive, America must return to all the qualities that made us great.
Our very system of law is based on Judeo-Christian beliefs.
The corruption of that system of law through politicalization, both on the national and District levels has been eating at the soul of this nation even to the point of corrupting our entertainment to where singers idolized by the young are flashing Satanic signs, wearing Satanic jewelry, and “pretending to hold Satanic “worship” while they perform.
It’s even gotten to the point where a couple thought that they could buy off and radically change the over 100-year tradition of Country Music.
This Sunday morning, I pray for our nation to continue to have the strength of character to support and pray for our men and women who are laying their lives down for this nation and on this Memorial Day weekend, and always, to honor and remember those who have made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom.
May God guide our Sovereign Nation’s leadership, and may He bless all Americans who are finding and renewing their faithfulness in Him.
This morning, as I lay in bed, The Lord had me thinking about Him. These thoughts were about what today, a day that Christians around the world celebrate as the day that Jesus Christ rose victorious from the grave, must have been like.
Pretend for a moment, that you are an average citizen living at the time of Christ…
[For the past three years, you have seen this charismatic young man speak about the love and mercy of God, and how His Grace and Forgiveness is freely given, IF…
And, there’s the catch…
According to this carpenter’s son from Nazareth, you have to confess your sins, and ask the Great I am, for forgiveness.
Whoa! Wait a minute. Who is this guy? A radical? Ask Yahweh for forgiveness?
And, what’s that he said? You will then have a personal relationship with His Father?
How can that be? This is the Great I am. This is the Deity of Vengeance who destroyed those escaped slaves from Egypt for throwing a party, while Moses was up on a mountain, and building and worshiping a Golden Calf.
And, remember what happened to King Nebuchadnezzar? Daniel interpreted a dream for him, explaining that his kingdom would be ruled over by Gentiles until God sent His King. Ol’ Nebby got mad, because he couldn’t rule over the Israelites and over the whole world unless God allowed him to do so. He forgot that, and became very proud. He tried to make the people think that he was very wonderful, and that they should worship him. He didn’t trust God as some of the kings of the Israelites did, but had the very foolish idea that he could be a wise and wonderful king without any help from God.
So, what do you suppose occurred?
Why, the King had another dream, and when he found out what it meant it was really terrible. In this dream God told him that he would lose his mind and would go out in the field and eat grass just like the cattle for seven years. And Nebuchadnezzar actually did this, too. Can you imagine a mighty king, as he thought himself to be, crawling around on the ground eating grass? The Bible tells us that his hair grew long and coarse and looked like bird feathers, and his fingernails became like the claws of animals.
Finally, though, Nebuchadnezzar’s reason returned to him, and when he found out what he had done he was very much ashamed of himself.
However, he learned by this experience that he was not as wise and powerful as he had thought. Learning this, he gave praise to God for allowing him to be the ruler.
This is the God that some carpenter’s son from Nazareth has been telling us that we can have a personal relationship with?
Strange indeed.
Finally, one of His disciples betrayed Him and gave Him up to the Romans, who crucified Him.
I noticed that while He was hanging there the guards and some of the townspeople there were mocking Jesus, telling Him that if He was the Son of God, to ”jump down off of that cross”. Meanwhile, some of the centurions were casting lots over His robe.
All except this one centurion, who was just watching Him, as if he was waiting for something to happen…]
And, then came the Glorious Morning… [Wow. It’s really been amazing around here since they crucified Jesus. Did you feel that earthquake? The veil of the temple was torn in half! And did you hear? A bunch of people that had died years ago, were seen walking around the city! But that’s not all. Don’t tell me you haven’t heard?
Listen to this: He has risen! He arose from the dead and was seen by several people. It’s true! I know it sounds unbelievable. I can scarcely take it in myself. Mary Magdalene and Mary, James and Salome’s mother, went to the tomb to perform the anointing of His body and it wasn’t there! On top of that, there was this young guy there, dressed in a white robe. They said he must have been 9 feet tall. He said, “You are seeking Jesus of Nazareth. Why do you seek the living among the dead? He is not here. See the place where you laid him.” So they went and told the disciples. But you know how Peter is. He just had to go run up there and see for himself.
Jesus even approached two of them on the road to Emmaus. They didn’t recognize him. He even broke bread with them that night. They realized who He was and He disappeared! They ran to tell the disciples and as they were telling them, Jesus appeared right in front of them! They were all starting to panic. Jesus said, “Peace to you.” But they couldn’t believe it was him, especially Thomas. So he had him touch him in the hole in his hand where they drove the nail and where the spear pierced his side.
Jesus ate with them and performed other signs and miracles in front of them and they understood scripture as never before. He also came to them at the Sea of Tiberius. Peter took the disciples fishing and they weren’t catching anything. Jesus told them from the bank to cast the net down on the right side. They did, and they could hardly bring it in the boat! When they got back to land, Jesus already had a fire going and some fish and bread ready to eat. He asked Peter three times if he loved Him, and each time He told him “Feed my sheep’. Hey, isn’t that the same number of times Peter Denied Him?
Anyway, He taught them many things before He left. They watched as He was taken straight up into heaven. Can you imagine?
The disciples are making plans now to go out and starting spreading the Good News about Jesus’ Resurrection. They are talking about going out in pairs. Man. Nothing is ever going to be the same again.]
The despair being felt by the average citizens of Rome, at the time, is not unlike the situation which we, as average Americans, find ourselves in today.
We, too, are still struggling in the darkness before the dawn.
Our American Culture has been crumbling before our very eyes, as sin, depravity, and personal irresponsibility have been lauded by “the smartest people in the room” as normal, and values to be embraced…a Golden Calf to be worshiped by those who have turned their backs of the Almighty, because He will not give them the worldly gratification they seek…and because they erroneously believe that they are smarter than God, and can interpret and ignore God’s Holy Word in order to ignore and to rewrite to make it mean whatever they want to, in order to assuage their own consciousness, in an attempt to stifle that “Still Small Voice” within them, Who is reminding them of their sin and the consequences of it.
For the past several years, our Sovereign Nation and the rest of the world have been fighting enemies foreign and domestic, even within our own government, along with a Chinese Coronavirus, a combination of challenges which have claimed thousands of deaths in our country and the loss of jobs for millions of Americans.
Today, as we watch as out-of-control judges and political ideologues attempt to take away our American Freedom, we all need to remember the words of President Ronald Reagan:
We are never defeated unless we give up on God.
Fellow Americans….my message to you on this Resurrection Day 2025 is
DO NOT GIVE UP ON GOD. DO NOT GIVE UP ON THE FOUNDING FATHERS’ HOPE, WHICH BECAME AMERICA.
As the old country Preacher’s wife always told him when she took away his plate after supper,
Hold on to your fork, Hon. Dessert is on it’s way.
The final chapter of the amazing story of our Blessed Land has not been written yet. It is up to each and every one of us to write it, strengthened by the Grace of God.
Until He Comes,
KJ
“For God so loved the word, that he gave his only begotten son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” – John
As I sit here on Palm Sunday morning, I was wondering what Jesus would see if he came into Washington, DC riding on a donkey.
I believe that Christ would see a country divided thanks to the views of two political parties.
What I mean by that is he would see one political party who is trying to bting our country back from a spiraling collapse by trying to reemphasize America’s place as a world leader while strengthening our country domestically and attempting to bring back the traditional American faith and values which made our country strong to begin with.
The other political party and their followers are advocating a cradle-to-grave totalitarian government in which 50% or more of taxpayers’ income would be relegated for use by the state to appease those they deem worthy of Americans’ money.
On this side, he would see a political party trying to rewrite the Bible as a book advocating sin, “non-traditional families”, and “fighting fascism”, while the advocates of this political ideology don’t have a clue as to what fascism is
People have taken the word of God and thrown away salvation through repentance by proclaiming that Jesus would accept people’s sin.
Yes, He loves us all, but he hates sin.
And that’s enough of my preaching for today.
The government viewpoint, which those out of power at this moment, are espousing can be seen in their fight against the elimination of financial corruption in our government.
You can also see what they really believe in their fight against Israel and their support of those who would destroy her and her people ,
The Israelis are proclaimed by God to be his people in Genesis 12: 1-3.
The bottom line is, unless this country can find its way back to embracing what is right and stop embracing what isn’t, this country could very well eventually be assigned to the Dustbin of History.
As a brother-in-Christ always tells me, it’s not politicians who are going to save this country.
