Whether It’s ObamaCare or Gun Confiscation, the Federal Government Lies and We Believe Them
I still marvel to hear Democrats who largely supported Obamacare, now complain that they are losing their health insurance. They cannot say they were not warned. They simply opted to not heed the messenger about the truth of Obamacare. They don’t understand it and they feel as though they’ve been cheated. I also find it interesting that “Not a single Republican voted in favor of Obamacare in either the House or the Senate.” Of course, let’s not forget that this was a time when Democrats controlled both the House and Senate.
Bible Belt Culture Often Includes a Disconnect Between Real and Fake Christianity
But here is where the double standard and duplicity comes into play. Even though Jesus turned water into wine and on another occasion stated that “It is not what enters into the mouth that defiles the man, but what proceeds out of the mouth, this defiles the man,” (Matthew 15:11), people continue to focus on the things that, in the end, have no bearing on anything. They want things to look good externally. That’s all they care about. Meanwhile, the slander, the gossip – all of it – continues unabated.
Rick Warren Continues to Backpedal After Implying that Christians Worship Allah
Does Rick Warren not love Muslims enough to share with them the Good News that Jesus Christ came to live a perfect life in order that He would fulfill the law and give Himself up as a sin-offering for humanity? 2 Corinthians 5:21 tells us that “He made [Jesus] who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf, so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.”
Israel’s Destruction at the Hands Of American Islamists
One of the highest offices in the Department of Homeland Security is occupied by a Muslim Brotherhood zealot, with an active twitter account. On this Twitter account Mohamed Elibiary trashes Christians and dares call America an “Islamic nation.”
Taking Captive Every Thought
I have learned that when I realize my mind has begun to wonder and is going into areas that don’t glorify Him or help me, then I simply start praising Him. Rather than try to think about something else specifically, I am helped when I simply make a sharp turn away from what I’m actively thinking and begin praising God. It seems much easier than trying to deliberately replace the thoughts that are pulling me down the wrong road with thoughts that are just as deliberate to pull me back toward the correct road.
The Undeniable Value of Praising God for Everything
I fully believe that praise is the greatest weapon the Christian has at their disposal. We need to use this weapon before we use anything else, or at least in conjunction with His Word. It lifts us out of our circumstances, spiritually.

Praise Him for Everything that Comes Your Way and I DO Mean Everything
For the average person, only those who “win” are seen as being victorious in Christ. Those who lose? Failures. They misheard God. They only thought they were directed by God but in reality, they missed the boat entirely.
Can God Still Use A Weakened Vessel In These Last Days?
But is there room for an unworthy vessel? We’re all unworthy. But His grace is enough. His glory is made perfect in weakness. In the end, no matter what happens on this earth, it will only be for a short time. Eternity awaits. I admit I’m eager. But until then, I know that there are no answers and that the battles we all face are the same that the Apostles fought against, and every other human being who has walked the earth.
Praise Him When There is Nothing Else You Can Do
We can go through life miserable, expecting other people to help us when we are down and believing Old Slewfoot’s lies. We can also choose to begin praising God in spite of the way we feel about life and ourselves. I’m sure neither Paul or Silas felt great. They were probably in pain. Instead of throwing a pity party, they threw a praise party and directed their praise to God!

Life for the Christian is Not Easy and Praise is Quite Possibly the Best Weapon We Have
But my response to situations emotionally are what concern me the most. I spent plenty of time praying, asking for God to do this or that, but looking back, I realize I spent very little time praising Him for His purposes, His direction, and ultimately, that He might be glorified.
