Wisdom and Foolishness
When you deal with terribly foolish people, sometimes it is simply best to ignore them (v 4). At other times, we cannot allow them to get away with their lies and the best response is one that is factual and unheated (v 5). Let the chips fall where they might. If the person is truly a fool, they may not benefit from the truth you share, but he may start thinking about what you say even if he gives the impression that what you just said makes no sense at all.
Apple’s Attack on Free Speech
John Matze believes in free speech and to prove it, he allows anyone with any viewpoint on Parler. It’s a growing social network that has some bugs that they need to work out. They’ve also been attacked by Left-wing groups in attempts to hack and overwhelm. This is what the Left does. They cannot handle anything that is not aligned with their particular viewpoint and they cannot offer arguments that hold up to scrutiny either. So, their only recourse is to shut things down. Yet, in spite of the fact that Google has deliberately modified their search engines so that conservative content does not come up and YouTube has deliberately canceled people like Steven Crowder and Alex Jones, they all claim they are not doing this.
Big Tech Attacking Democracy
Right now, Big Tech appears to be attacking America’s Constitutional Republic. Once they are satisfied that they have accomplished what they set out to accomplish, how long before they commit to a full frontal, direct assault on Christians and Christianity?
Chem Trails? 5G? What’s It All About?
The possibilities regarding 5G seem limitless at least compared to what exists now (4G). The huge exponential jump from the current 4G (2.4 MGhz) to the coming 5G (60 MGhz) is stark. Regardless of any possible dangers of the coming 5G, it appears to be on its way and there’s little to nothing people can do to successfully curtail it. Even President Trump is completely behind it. He says it’s largely due to the creation of more jobs. Certainly it’ll do that. But at what price? Our loss of health? Our loss of privacy?
Misunderstanding of God in Book of Job
Job trusted God in the beginning. He continued to trust God through the misery that visited him, yet it was a bit touch and go because while Job seemed to have legitimate complaints, in reality, he learned a great deal from what he experienced. God brought him through it and in the process, more of Job’s pride was erased as he learned to accept the fact that God is God alone and His reasons for doing anything are His, whether He chooses to reveal His attentions to us or not.
A Word from the Lord?
This is the big problem with people who believe themselves to have God’s ear wanting them to be counselors to others. The unfortunate part is that the people they counsel often take their counsel as complete truth and endeavor to follow their instructions to a “t” instead of going to Scripture and checking things for themselves.
Prisons and Inmates
The Bible tells us we need to remember these prisoners and certainly, the Bible is referring mainly to those Christians then who were wrongly imprisoned for their faith, not for breaking the law otherwise. However, there is a need to remember our brothers and sisters in Christ who are incarcerated. Maybe they were not imprisoned because they are Christians. They are imprisoned for things they did wrong. Yet, they need our prayers to help turn their lives around, to be protected and to help them remain free from trouble while they serve their time.
Stories, Stories, and More Stories…
Folks, as time progresses and we move closer to the time of Jesus’ return, we must remember that He warned us about the false Christs, the false teachers who would lead many astray (Matthew 24, Mark 13, Luke 21). Things would be gearing up to see more and more heretics gaining prominence within Christendom. Because of the way people chase after their “felt needs” today, they are tossed about by every wind of doctrine trying to satiate their itching ears.
We Can Learn Lessons from the Kings of Israel
Asa’s life as king is a good lesson for all of us. Is it your supreme desire to follow God, to seek Him and His ways, to live for His glory? Is that your aim? If that is not your aim, you will do what dictates your heart and not bring glory to God. It’s that simple, though when it comes to where the rubber meets the road, it is difficult because our minds tend to wander away and fix themselves on our own felt needs.
What May Be on the Political Horizon, Part 2?
I’ve listened to people who call themselves Christian and Republican who only spout Democrat/Leftist talking points. Why? Because they listen to CNN or some other mainstream media program where the anchors are simply propagandists, vomiting the Left’s talking points night after night, day after day. Yet, these Christian/Republicans believe they are well informed. They’re not because they have failed to do the research on their own and simply believe what they like to hear.
