Gun Control, Red Flag Laws and POTUS
If President Trump continues down this path, he will lose a good portion of his base. It’s already happening as I see more conservatives and patriots saying that Trump “lost” their vote for re-election. The problem though is if not Trump, then who? Who will step up to be a better candidate than the current president? If Mr. Trump is not careful, he will continue to alienate more of his base who will either not vote in 2020 or vote for someone else who has no chance of winning, out of principle.
The Stones Would Cry Out
The idea that the more Christians work (or pray, etc.), the sooner more will come to know Him and the world will change for the better flies in the face of biblical revelation. The Bible says these are bad times and they will get far worse until He raptures His Bride from this earth. Once that happens, judgment will fall onto the earth. Only upon His physical return will this world begin to experience the peace of the Millennial Kingdom over which Jesus Himself will rule with a rod of iron.
Movies Have Consequences
People have become so desensitized to gore, violence and gun play that it’s ready for the next level. My only concern is what is that level?! It’s scary to consider. Hollywood should be dialing it back, but instead pushes onward with more gore, more violence and more gun play that will further desensitize and exploit the next generation of movie/TV watchers than this current generation. They’ve learned that if they dial it back, their movies will “flop” so they keep pushing the edge.
Guarding Our Tongues, Part 2
Guarding our minds and ultimately our tongues or what comes out of our mouths from our minds and hearts, keeps us in fellowship with God in Christ. If we say things that are sinful, we immediately break our fellowship with God. It is that simple and it will remain broken until we muster enough humility to confess our sin and He will forgive. If we do not humble ourselves, God will endeavor to humble us. If we continue to resist His efforts, He has the option of removing us from this life (1 Corinthians 11:30).
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.
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.
Modern Day Prophets vs Old Time Prophets
Let’s look at a real prophet for a moment. The text of 1 Chronicles 17:1-2 explains. King David was saddened by the fact that he lived in a beautiful palace of cedar, while the Ark of the Covenant from God stood under a tent. David bemoaned this fact as it did not appear to be fair to him.
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.
Changes to Our Page on Sermon Audio
I’m not sure why Apple has made this move but since Tim Cook is a serious Leftist, it likely has to do with control and money. If I have an app developed for my page on Sermon Audio, I’d have to have my own developer account, create the app and then submit it. I don’t have the time or know-how, nor do I want to spend more money on creating two new apps.
Final Thoughts on 5G…for Now
Ultimately, what this all means is that we are slowly, inevitably giving up our privacy. Yes, 5G will make things move more quickly and provide a certain type of consistency for our phones, computers and television that we’re not getting now. But at what cost to our privacy?
