Proverbs 22:11

One who loves a pure heart and who speaks with grace will have the king for a friend.

Some events are set aside for exceptional people.  This evening we honored one such person.  Yet it was the whole gathering that made the evening so completely and pleasantly memorable.  I realize that I have surrounded myself with people who are my friends.  Tonight, our ears were treated with kind and inspired words for a friend who has completed a lifetime of service.  Although the honoree deserved every kind and loving word that was spoken, it was the gathering of friends that made this evening so heartfelt.

The foundation for this love is Christ.  My friends are followers of the Word of God and show this love to each other.  How this world is made perfect by the love of the King, Jesus Christ.  John 15:15 I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master’s business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you.  Our King is our friend.

The Widow’s Strength

Proverbs 15:25

The Lord will destroy the house of the proud: and will strengthen the borders of the widow.

This proverb struck me yesterday.  The two main points are the proud and the widows.  What do these two things have in common?  It is surely not addressing the destruction of a proud widow’s house; as a matter of fact it seems to be indicating those who take advantage of the widow.  In contemporary times, the widow, or more specifically in today’s culture, the elderly is the mark for the democrat.  We can see this happening again and again when these miscreants run for office.  They bring up the elderly, threatening them with the possibility of someone taking their stuff away from them.

The Judeo-Christian tradition always demanded that the widow be taken care of by people who believed in a one true God.  It is the leftists or democrats who are using the vulnerability of the widow, or the elderly, to frighten them into submission.  You could almost hear them saying, “Vote for me, or I’ll take all your stuff away from you.”, or, “If you vote for a republican, I will take away all your stuff.”  This heavy handed tactic by the democrats, doesn’t start out so severe, it is presented as a helping hand and then, WHAM, “Now do as I say, or else you old bag.”

The house of the proud is the democrat party and their minions.  There destruction is imminent.  Put your trust in God, that is the trinity, Father, son and Holy Spirit.  You will be protected and at peace.  If evil befalls you, a certain peace will overtake you.  This is especially true of the widow.  God will strengthen your borders.  In other words, God is looking out for you.  However, be on the right side.  Dump the Democratic Party.  Be true to God and he will look out for you.  Align yourself with an authentic Christian community.  Not only will your borders be strengthened, you will have eternal life with Jesus.

The Injured Soul

Where is thy soul?

That you may know

What is right?

What is wrong?

 

Thy heart aches

From soulless void

Deluded to fault

Oh eternal pit

 

As a lost child

Far away from

Maternal care

The soul cries

 

Where is thy soul?

In this brokenness

This foulness

Alone abandoned

 

The way is lost

The path no more

In dangers grasp

No nurturing hold

 

No turn is known

To find a home

A way misled

Return to lost

 

Where is thy soul

Groans deep within

For life without

For ceaseless hope

 

Oh saving Grace

Take hold my soul

Injured no more

In thy tender care

False Motherhood

On this Mother’s Day, it is important to note that in this post-modern era, not all, in fact very few women have risen to the level of true motherhood.  Any women who are a democrat cannot claim to be a true mother, so that group is off the table.  Any women who knowingly took the life of the baby growing inside of her womb, is not a mother, rather she is a murderer and will spend all her after life in Hell.  And there is the abusive, narcissistic woman, who didn’t really want children, but went along with her instincts and got pregnant anyway.

This woman in principle deserves recognition for carrying the baby to term and birthing the child, but that’s where the fun stops.  Only on a technicality can these women be included to be given happy Mother’s day wishes.  But it must be clear that such a woman is cruel to some of her children and can be emotionally damaging to her son or daughter.  This is a female that wished she should have taken contraceptives to avoid pregnancy, or should have aborted her child, because she didn’t deserve the burden of another child, but had the baby anyway.  This woman regrets having the baby, and grows cold to the child, usually beating and abusing the innocence that is her own flesh and blood.  Yes, even though a woman like this appears like your ordinary, run-of-the-mill mother, there lurks something dark and sinister within her.  On a grading scale this woman deserves a D+ for her mothering.

Let’s be clear, this is what the liberals wanted with feminism, to be able to murder the life, the human being that they were carrying within their womb.  So some women have abdicated their right to be real mothers.  They instead, by succumbing to the evil desire to be like a man, have discarded what is feminine, only to become freakish and unfeminine.  The ultimate conclusion to what liberals and democrat women have chosen is perversion and they have become the spawn of Satan.  It is not appropriate to wish a succubus “Happy Mother’s Day”?

All democrat, liberal women, who committed murder by killing the child within their womb or supported abortion through their vote cannot, in all good consciousness, be greeted with a happy mother’s day.  They simple don’t qualify.  What does scripture say about evil women and their children?  Ezekiel 16:20-21: And thou hast taken thy sons, and thy daughters, whom thou hast borne to me: and best sacrificed the same to them to be devoured. Is thy fornication small?  Thou hast sacrificed and given my children to them, consecrating them by fire.  It is a sin to kill your own children.  That means literally; to murder, and figuratively, to abuse and neglect them.

It is the hope of all Christians that all souls be brought to Christ.  Even the lowest form of human female, the heathen, democrat liberal women, can be redeemed and saved through the saving grace of Jesus.  But the sinful woman must truly be contrite and sorry for their sin.  Reject acting the slut, as one liberal democrat woman calls herself.  So Mothers have a duty to be real women.  Return to God and repent of your loose ways.

How Then Shall We Begin the Calendar Cycle?

Acknowledging this arbitrary beginning, let us, once again commit to the notion that we resolve to do better. In this morass culture of multiculturalism, it is difficult to understand what “better” might mean. So, let us attempt to discern. What is a good beginning for this New Year? Reading the book of Proverbs may provide us with some solid direction.

Proverbs 1:1-7
1 The Proverbs of Solomon, the son of David, king of Israel: 2 That men may appreciate wisdom and discipline, may understand words of intelligence; 3 May receive training in wise conduct, in what is right, just and honest; 4 That resourcefulness may be imparted to the simple, to the young man knowledge and discretion. 5 A wise man by hearing them will advance in learning, an intelligent man will gain sound guidance, 6 That he may comprehend proverb and parable, the words of the wise and their riddles. 7 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge; wisdom and instruction fools despise.

In this land of entitlements and liberal dysfunction, this proverb may appear somewhat disturbing. The idea that a person should appreciate wisdom or even discipline does not fall into the lexicon of the liberal. Therefore we can safely place the liberal in the category of fools. Basically, the liberal is silly. You may notice that the simple and the young can indeed gain resourcefulness. It is important that the wise of this culture seize the upper ground from the beginning of this New Year.

That is precisely what this New Year’s resolution is; the need to internalize the first seven verses of the book of Proverbs. A healthy fear or respect of the Lord, the God of Abraham, is what is needed to get a solid footing in this New Year. Begin this New Year by discerning what category into which you fall. Are you seeking wisdom or are you a fool?

Eternal Transitions

Within hours, the events of 2012 will come to a close while 2013 is eagerly awaited. New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day seem arbitrary. Why is it that we are moved by the hoopla surrounded by this holiday? Throughout the year there are many benchmarks that signify important dates. Birthdays, for instance, weigh a lot more on the importance scale to wives and girlfriends, as does Valentines Day, sweetest day and wedding anniversary dates. Employment dates can signify an annual raise in salary. The whole premise is attached to the dimension of time. So it is time, combined with the events that occur within this dimension, which we are recognizing.

It is the month of January that we recognize significant events within a series of 365 days. January, the name of the first month of the year, is named after the pagan god Janus. Believed to be the god of new beginnings and transitions, Janus is depicted with two faces, one face looking to the future, the other looking to the past. So it is appropriate that the month of January celebrates the passing of the events of one year, and looking forward to upcoming events. Yet we are still tied to this notion of time, the passing of instantaneous events, seamlessly, one after another.

Temporal measurement of time can take two forms, the calendar and the clock. The instant that New Years’ Eve becomes New Years Day involves both of these temporal measuring devices. This particular event happens all over the world, precisely at midnight. Although the calendar is abstract in concept, it signifies something more. That this life we are living is only temporal. We are bound towards something else. Most of us are hopeful that we are on a trajectory to something better. We use this passing, from what was to what will be, as a time to resolve to do better next year. But why is this so important?

Perhaps we can get a better sense of things when we consider that the calendar we use is the Gregorian calendar. It was named after Pope Gregory XIII, who introduced the calendar by a decree signed on 24 February 1582. It wasn’t the New Year that was important to this change, but another event that has eternal implications. That event is Easter. The older, Julian calendar wasn’t accurate with lunar movements and lost about three days every 400 years. That would put Easter in the wrong month. So the upshot is that Pope Gregory decreed a new calendar and this is the calendar that is now internationally recognized. Easter is the reason, the celebration of the resurrection of the Christ.

So tonight, as we wait for midnight, perhaps we ought to consider that, at some point, time will vanish. Jesus, the Christ, will judge for all eternity. We will not have the luxury of second chances. We will not have the opportunity to forgive and to heal. As the shell of our flesh decomposes in repose, our immortal soul continues. Imagine that the split instant between 2012 and 2013 is an eternity, that everything that you are, in truth, will remain that way forever. Do you have any regrets, anything you want to improve, any repentant urges? Can you stay the way that you are now, forever? Then consider why the world has the calendar that is currently in use today. The focus should not be on a new year; rather the important event ought to be on a new life.

Christmas Post Holiday Re-cap

We safely arrived home yesterday from an inter-state road trip. From southwestern, temperate temperatures to a snow covered landscape, we have returned to the Midwest. The highlight of the holiday was spending priceless time with some of our family. After many years of adjusting the lenses of living to an ever changing view of life, I still see that family is truly a treasure. That family grows with vital new blood that brings the essential hope for the future. After all the shared laughter, the shared meals and the shared time, it is the shared embraces that linger warm in my soul. I highly recommend hugging your loved ones as if it were the last time you will ever hug them; one day it will be.

After surviving my youthful liberal years, I have, with the help and grace of God, through his Son, Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit, cleaned up my soul to reveal the necessity of tradition. In many ways healthy, family tradition has been thrown out with the dysfunctional, abusive family lifestyle. I found myself recovering what I believe is the love that flows through souls of all our family members. My post-holiday Christmas wish is that we can recover what has been lost, our shared meaning of love of family, our understanding of what is true and our knowledge of certain death into all eternity. For the awareness of all of these things will bring an urgent desire to live well today.

On this fourth day of Christmas, I bring not four calling birds, rather the wish that all people will carry on the hope and love that the Christ child has brought and continues to bring into this world. Live each day as if it is Christmas!

What Do Children Bring?

The other day a local elementary school’s young students performed a Christmas program.  The program consisted of two other forms of holiday celebration that occur around Christmas, Chanukah and Kwanzaa.  As I was listening to the young voices of children signing Christmas songs, I was overcome with emotion.  The sweet sound of young children touched my heart as I my holiday celebration was getting into high gear.  Away in a manger, no crib for a bed”, the children sang a song about the most important child born to all humans.  This same Christ child, taught to us that the kingdom of heaven belongs to those who are like the little children.

Matt 19:13-15   13 Then children were brought to him that he might lay his hands on them and pray. The disciples rebuked them, 14 but Jesus said, Let the children come to me, and do not prevent them; for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these. 15 After he placed his hands on them, he went away.

But are we, as adults suppose to act like children as most liberals do?  Obviously the lesson the Christ is teaching us is to be humble, to remain Innocent.  Yet the liberal culture wants to behave like children while taking away the essentials that these same children need, most importantly, the liberal culture is taking away life from children.  With the outright murder of children, liberals are committing one of the most heinous crimes against children.  The liberal sub-culture has torn apart the families, left the children unprotected, hungry and without proper nurturing.  As a nation we must ask ourselves, “Where do we bring the children”? 

During this advent season let us all resolve to bring our children to the crib of Christ child.  Let us turn away from all that brings evil into this world.  Let us celebrate our children.  They bring joy to the world.  God knows this.  He came into the world, as a new born infant, to save all humans. 

Luke 2:8-15   8 Now there were shepherds in that region living in the fields and keeping the night watch over their flock. 9 The angel of the Lord appeared to them and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were struck with great fear. 10 The angel said to them, Do not be afraid; for behold, I proclaim to you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. 11 For today in the city of David a savior has been born for you who is Messiah and Lord. 12 And this will be a sign for you: you will find an infant wrapped in swaddling clothes and lying in a manger. 13 And suddenly there was a multitude of the heavenly host with the angel, praising God and saying: 14 Glory to God in the highest and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests. 15 When the angels went away from them to heaven, the shepherds said to one another, Let us go, then, to Bethlehem to see this thing that has taken place, which the Lord has made known to us.

Warm and Fuzzy Religion?

As the Advent season unfolds, we are directed to the Love of God through His son Jesus.  We anticipate the coming of the birth of the world’s saviour, we are called to a life of turning back to God.  Metenoia, repentance or just plain old being sorry for your sins, that’s the path of Advent.  God does indeed love all those who seek him.

But it’s not all warm and fuzzy.  Reading the book Zephiniah, God shows his unpleasant side.  Although the Bible is difficult to interpret, Zephiniah portrays God’s wrath as unequivocal.  Taking some liberty with this ancient text, let’s look at it in contemporary times.  It’s right there in the Good Book.

Zephaniah 1

1The word of the LORD which came to Zephaniah, the son of Cushi, the son of Gedaliah, the son of Amariah, the son of Hezekiah, in the days of Josiah, the son of Amon, king of Judah.  2 I will completely sweep away all things from the face of the earth, says the LORD.  3 I will sweep away man and beast, I will sweep away the birds of the sky, and the fishes of the sea. I will overthrow the wicked; I will destroy mankind from the face of the earth, says the LORD.  4 I will stretch out my hand against Judah, and against all the inhabitants of Jerusalem; I will destroy from this place the last vestige of Baal, the very names of his priests.  5 And those who adore the host of heaven on the roofs, with those who adore the LORD but swear by Milcom;  6 And those who have fallen away from the LORD, and those who do not seek the LORD.  7 Silence in the presence of the Lord GOD! for near is the day of the LORD, Yes, the LORD has prepared a slaughter feast, he has consecrated his guests.  8 On the day of the LORD’S slaughter feast I will punish the princes, and the king’s sons, and all that dress in foreign apparel.  9 I will punish, on that day, all who leap over the threshold, Who fill the house of their master with violence and deceit.  10 On that day, says the LORD, A cry will be heard from the Fish Gate, a wail from the New Quarter, loud crashing from the hills.  11 Wail, O inhabitants of the Mortar! for all the merchants will be destroyed, all who weigh out silver, done away with.  12 At that time I will explore Jerusalem with lamps; I will punish the men who thicken on their lees, Who say in their hearts, Neither good nor evil can the LORD do.  13 Their wealth shall be given to pillage and their houses to devastation; They will build houses, but shall not dwell in them, plant vineyards, but not drink their wine,  14 Near is the great day of the LORD, near and very swiftly coming, Hark, the day of the LORD! bitter, then, the warrior’s cry.  15 A day of wrath is that day a day of anguish and distress, A day of destruction and desolation, a day of darkness and gloom, A day of thick black clouds,  16 a day of trumpet blasts and battle alarm Against fortified cities, against battlements on high.  17 I will hem men in till they walk like the blind, because they have sinned against the LORD; And their blood shall be poured out like dust, and their brains like dung.  18 Neither their silver nor their gold shall be able to save them on the day of the LORD’S wrath, When in the fire of his jealousy all the earth shall be consumed. For he shall make an end, yes, a sudden end, of all who live on the earth.

But it gets much more graphic.  If you consider the filth and carnage with which the entertainment industry fills our eyes, God will do so much worse.  Brace yourself and read on.

Zephiniah 1:17 I will hem men in till they walk like the blind, because they have sinned against the LORD; And their blood shall be poured out like dust, and their brains like dung.

Preparing for the coming of the Lord is serious business.  Pray that you are prepared as well as your loved ones.  Pray for the whole world.  The day of God’s wrath is at hand.  Happy Advent!

Who is Adam Lanza’s father?

18 Tuesday Dec 2012

In a recent article written by Liza Long of Boise, Idaho, she discloses that her son suffers from a mental illness.  But one thing jumped out.  She is a single mother.  Guess what?  Nancy Lanza, the victim of matricide by her son Adam, was a single mother, too.  Perhaps we as a society ought to be holding men accountable in the scheme of things.  Who is Adam Lanza’s father?  Where is Adam Lanza’s father?  Where are any liberal fathers?

Adam Lanza’s father symbolizes the absence of real male fathering of children.  There are no dads to be found on the liberal radar.  We can fix this mess of, kids out of control, if liberal males decide to be fathers again.  But that is a tall order, because liberal men would actually have to be masculine and get back into realty.  Liberal men would have to grow beyond their homosexual tendencies and find a healthy desire to love a woman.  This would bring back the desire to sire children and protect the home, bring home the bacon, and nurture his children to be self sufficient when it’s time for them to leave home.

The problem of lawlessness can be solved if we as a community realize that liberalism is a systemic disorder and the symptoms are, among other things, broken families and mass murder.  Male liberals must put away their baseball caps and where man hats.  Male liberals must stop oogling the asses of male sports figures and learn to really love and care for a human female.  The liberal male is AWOL.  And women are left holding the bag.  What we have left is the limp wristed, metro-sexual, stammering, jackass, Barack Obama held up as a male role model.  Oh pah-lease.  Obama was reportedly a member of the gay scene back in Chicago.  Just ask Larry Sinclair.

So, you women, look at your husband, if you still have one.  Would he lay down his life for you?  Is he present to his children?  Are your children his offspring?  Does he look at you the way he looks at male athletes?  Does he fawn attention on you?  Is intimacy still a part of your relationship?  If you answered “no” to any of these questions, then it’s time to: A.) leave the boy and find a man, or B.) make a man out of him.  I offer no advice as to how a woman makes a man out of boy.  All I can say is you will both know it when it happens.

If you’re a male human who is stuck in a boy’s mind and body, and you want to grow up, I suggest going to church.  Jesus is the model of masculinity.  Avoid any liberal priest, pastor or nun.  It is necessary to get on your knees and pray to the all-merciful God, to direct you to be the man he created you to be.  And finally, put away the toys, quit drooling over other men by way of sports or other forms of athletics.  Simply put, be a man.
