Hope for Seven Year-Old James Younger
The idea that James Younger knows that he allegedly wants to be a girl (according to non-biological mom), is ridiculous. He’s way too young to know and certainly, he’s been open to her constant suggestion (backed by forcing him to wear dresses), about transitioning to a girl for a number of years. Was Milton Berle or any other man who dressed as a woman as part of their act wanting to “transition” to female? Come on, let’s use critical thinking skills and it doesn’t take that much to understand the reality.
Update on Insanity in Texas
Gird your loins, folks. This is the devil’s playground and God allows it because of the plans He has for this world. One day, Jesus will physically return and deal with the evil directly. It won’t be pretty for anyone who stands with Satan.
As the World Turns…
So what can we do? Well, clearly, we must continue praying, right? We can never set that aside. God hears our prayers. We must, as we pray, be willing to let God be God. By that I mean that we must not insist on what we want based on what we think is the right path. We must give God room to do what He will do especially when we do not understand what His will might be.
Letting Go and Letting God?
In every situation we face as Christians, we must proceed bathed in prayer, always prepared to come to a point where nothing more can be done. It is at that point, we let go and trust that God has accomplished what He has chosen to accomplish. It doesn’t mean we do nothing. It means we proceed slowly, with caution, trusting the Lord to guide us in heart, thought, word and direction. When it appears as though we can go no further, we must then trust that for now at least, God has brought us as far as He wants to in that particular situation.
Heavenly Praise Here on Earth
But what I’ve been thinking about lately is how God has provided “gifts” to people, in spite of their standing before Him. Just like we read in Matthew 5:45 above, God provides gifts to all of us to varying degrees. That’s what Jesus meant when He stated that God sends the rain and shines the sun on the just and unjust.
Social Network’s Continued Censorship Against Conservatives, Christians and Patriots
If you have not noticed, Christians are being persecuted mightily. Even those who are not Christian but are conservative and patriotic are finding it difficult to carry on conversations around Leftists who don’t want to hear anything except their particular political bias. They want to shut us down.
Lack of Discernment is Becoming the Norm
God gives wisdom to those who ask for it and it often doesn’t come with any type of ecstatic experience. It’s just knowledge born of wisdom and discernment. It’s very “pedestrian” compared to the antics that are on display at too many meetings and churches today.
Neflix’s Tragic Descent into Hell
I’m appalled. As I watched the trailer, all I could think of was that Satan and his demons actually managed to get a gig writing scripts and drawing cartoons for Netflix. It’s as though the denizens of hell sit at the writing table and literally spew their filth onto the television screen. It’s that bad. Yet, remarkably, there are adult fans of the show.
Called Home
I really do want to spend the rest of my life doing what the Lord wants me to do. I’d love to hear at the end of it before I pass, my name being called and the veil that separates this life from the next pulled back. But whatever happens, I know that once I pass from this life to the eternal realm, that’s when I will really start living because the sin nature will be surgically removed by Physician Jesus Himself.
This and That from Around the World
That’s actually been the problem with churches today. I’ve talked to numerous pastors who agree that the church needs to “change,” to update itself, to do whatever it takes to bring the unchurched into the church. But is this the actual goal of the Church itself? In other words, it appears that many have made the Church something that is man-centered instead of God-centered. For too many, the goal or purpose of the Church is to mainly and even solely reach out to the lost of this world and that’s it.
