Gap Between Being Righteous and Living Righteously
Authentic believers seek honor for God in how we live before Him. This is the most difficult aspect of Christianity, living it, understanding how we are to live and what our approach to God (and others) should be. We need to be reaching out to others because God has reached out to us and it’s not just other people we need to reach out to. God expects us to help where we can help.

Blink of an Eye
This entire incident has become another “stone of remembrance” for me. Silvia and I can look back at this situation and know beyond all doubt that God oversaw it and was fully in the details. Even though we had our own plans, God interrupted us with His plans. He knew what was going to happen with my wonderful wife and He deliberately had us in the right place at the right time for medical care.
God Didn’t Whisper
Having said all that, it is important to also state that sin is sin. God hates all of it. Yet, He seems to have noted in Scripture that certain sins create more of a problem and fallout and are the result of the way a person thinks and designs their life. This thinking stems from a position of atheism that allows and encourages people to live as they wish. They in essence become a law unto themselves and encourage others to do the same. Too many within the visible Church today are trying to embrace people who really have no intention of seeing a need to submit to God allowing Him to change their behavior.

Hostile Takeover?
It is clear to me that Trump has learned a great deal since his first term. I hope he flushes out all the woke leftists hidden in the West Wing and in other areas of the federal government. If they’re unwilling to cooperate with Trump’s America First policy, then I’m going to assume they’ll be forced to resign, asked to resign, or relocated to some other position. He is planning on doing this with the 88,000 new IRS hires. He just recently fired 80 officials within the DOJ including the FBI. He has revoked security clearances of the 51 spies who signed a letter stating that the Hunter Biden laptop controversy was Russian collusion, when in point of fact, we now know beyond doubt that the laptop was the real thing.
Restoring Us to Humanity 1.0 – Motivating Factor
If I could narrow things down to a more simplistic view of this whole process, I’d say that it all boils down to what we can call our motivating factor. In essence, all people are motivating by something in life. I’m not talking about being motivated to become a doctor or lawyer, teacher or healthcare worker, etc. I’m talking about the thing that motivates a person is all aspects of their life. In essence, that motivating factor is their foundation from which they make all decisions. Human beings are either motivated by a true love (that only comes from God), or they are motivated by a deep sense of self. That’s really it; as there are only those two true motivators.

Restoring Us to Humanity 1.0, Pt 1
Ultimately, salvation is saving us from death on the negative side, but it is also bringing us back to the intended creation of God originally, Human 1.0. We will eventually get there but it is our job to assist God by submitting to Him and His will on a daily basis so that the characteristics of godly love will be shed abroad in our hearts (Romans 5:5).
Conspiracies or Realities?
Globalists don’t take kindly to defeat and I believe with Satan’s empowering (and God allowing), globalists will move the world much closer to the start of the coming Tribulation. I’m not going to discuss dates or timing because no one knows. I simply think, based on what I see coming (using the phrase figuratively, not literally), that 2025 won’t be a great year. Of course, had Harris won the election, 2025 would be an absolutely appalling year, so we dodged a bullet of sorts.

Satisfy the Afflicted Soul
If you help people who need help, simply because you are in the position to be able to help them, they will begin to question within themselves why you are helping them. They may not understand at first, because maybe no one has helped them before. It feels weird to them, though at the same time, it is uplifting to them as well.
Living Upright in an Unright World
It’s very clear what Paul was telling Timothy. We are living in the last days and what we are seeing is simply more evidence of demonic activity working through human beings in preparation for the coming final kingdom led by the Antichrist, than anything else. People, as you know, are truly divided today like never before; divided over ideology, gender, race, culture, religion and politics. It’s causing many to draw battle lines.
Context is Really Everything
Today’s Christian need to stop and consider how difficult life was for the average Christian during the first and second centuries. We Christians in America have no real understanding of that because we are simply not physically persecuted like they were then. We might be politically persecuted (oh, woe is us!), but Christians are not accosted on the street for being Christians, neither are we gathered, lined up and executed for our faith as Christians are today in Nigeria and now in Syria by Islamic jihadists who are attempting to bring in the final Islamic Caliphate.
