Pray For Your National Leaders (and everyone)

I know this nation is temporary.  All nations are.  All governments are as well.  But we are here.  There are things to do.  There are tasks and responsibilities to be accomplished.  We live here and now.  It is not possible to live in the future.  We think about the future.  We plan for the future.  However, we live our lives one day at a time, moment to moment.  That is just the way it is.  We need to pray for our leaders.  It is the will of God.  Apostle Paul, in his first letter to Timothy, tells us of the importance of this.  I would like to note that the Word says "everyone," but that there is a special emphasis for "kings and all in authority."

"I urge, then, first of all, that requests, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for everyone, for kings and all in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness.  This is good and pleases God our Savior, who wants all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth."
(1 Timothy 2: 1-4)

School Safety

Recently, as a response to an email I received from  the National School Safety and Security Services, I wrote this short letter to them.  Their letter to me had to do with keeping school campuses safe.  I have the solution.  Here it is.

 The Word of God is the greatest weapon known to mankind. If it is not used to fight against evil doers, we are truly missing the boat. In actuality: There is absolutely nothing more powerful anywhere and anytime........than the Word of God. Why? Because the Word of God is God. It is a devil-chasing weapon. It is the sharpest sword there is. We must employ it. The founders of this country knew this. The country evolved into the greatest nation on earth. I am not proposing that we become a theocracy. I am proposing we solve problems. The Word of God is truth. Use it, and acquire freedom. Do not use it, then........tyranny here we come.  The students in this nation deserve the best.  The truth is the best.  "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." (John 8: 32)

God bless you.  

Same Sex Marriage.......A Trojan Horse

Yes, I know, it is coming.  The fight goes on.  Parental respnsibilities have always been challenging.  This will not change.  There is no easy route.  The job must be done.  The job must be done properly.  Mistakes will be made.  There are no perfect parents.  One thing for certain:  It is the duty of the parent to teach the child proper gender identification.  If there are any questions about this......gender was chosen by our divine maker the moment of conception.  In the name of freedom, laziness, stubborness and ignorance; many parents have chosen not to do their jobs and have allowed their children to choose gender roles that were not destined for them. Every child has a destiny.  Some may not live very long.  But every child has a destiny.  If born a male.....destined to be a male.  If born a female....destined to be a female.  The rest "we carve out."  We work out our destiny.  Men marry women.  That is just the way it is.  Same sex marriage is an attempt to destroy traditional gender identification.  Once that happens, what is next?  Something that is not good.  When the "Horse is in the land," it will eventually release more and more enemies of that which is decent and lasting.  We must fight against it.  "Endure hardness as a good soldier of Jesus Christ."
 (2 Tim. 2: 3)

To Be Special? It Will Come

If you want to be special; if you want to be unique; if you want to be remembered, then do not try to be.  Just do this: be good, be kind, be honest.  It will be a challenge.  Yes, it will be a challenge to be good and not expect others to be good in return.  Yes, it will be a challenge to be honest and kind.  Just do not expect everyone else to be honest and kind.  Generally, when you are good, kind and honest, others will respond the same way.  Be happy when they do.  Don't be frustrated when they don't.  Social graces are not a given.  Morality is not a given.  Yes, we have laws against certain conduct, but the law is not directly involved in our daily social interaction, and it is not necessarily a crime to be rude or  have a poor attitude.  Make your decision to be good.  Make your decision to be good, kind and  honest.  You will not regret it.  You will have made this a better world to live in.  Will you be special?  Yes.  Maybe  right away, maybe later on, but it will come.

The Royal Rangers: Possibly A Greater Role

I am of the opinion that all parents who want to continue to keep their young sons in scouting should seriously consider enlisting their sons in The Royal Rangers.  It is similar to the Boy Scouts of America but it is  Biblically based and it is run by an evangelical Christian organization.  Because of the latest developments that have been taking place in the Boy Scouts of America organization, I think the Royal Rangers will be playing a greater role.  The following information was taken from the website of the Royal Rangers. 

Emblem: The Royal Rangers Emblem is a stylized emblem containing points in three different colors: Red, Blue, and Gold. The four red points represent "the four main teachings of the church": salvation, baptism of the Holy Spirit, healing, and second coming. The four gold points denote the four ways a person grows: mentally, physically, spiritually, and socially. Finally, the eight blue points represent the virtues that make up the Ranger Code Pledge:  With God’s help, I will do my best to serve God, my church, and my fellowman; to live by the Ranger Code; to make the Golden Rule my daily rule.

Code A Royal Ranger is: Alert, Clean, Honest, Courageous, Loyal, Courteous, Obedient, Spiritual.

ALERT. He is mentally, physically, and spiritually alert.

CLEAN. He is clean in body, mind, and speech.

HONEST. He does not lie, cheat, or steal.

COURAGEOUS. He is brave, in spite of danger, criticism, or threats.

LOYAL. He is faithful to his church, family, outpost, and friends.

COURTEOUS. He is polite, kind, and thoughtful.

OBEDIENT. He obeys his parents, leaders, and those in authority.

SPIRITUAL. He prays, reads the Bible, and witnesses.

Motto:  Ready. Ready for anything. Ready to work, play, serve, worship, live, and obey God's Word.

Just 4 Quotes About The IRS

 "This [audit] was made extremely difficult because [IRS] existing Systems were not designed to provide reliable financial information... on their operations."

 Charles A. Bowsher  Comptroller, Government Accounting Office

"Congress has doubled the IRS budget over the past 10 years -- making that agency one of the fastest growing non-entitlement programs. It has increased its employment by 20 percent. The IRS’s powers to investigate and examine taxpayers transcend those of any other law enforcement agency. Virtually all of the constitutional rights regarding search and seizure, due process, and jury trial simply do not apply to the IRS."

 Daniel Pilla

"The theory of the IRS is rather repugnant to me because the assumption is made that I, the government, owns 100% of your income and I permit you to keep 5%, 10% or 20%. You're vulnerable, you've sold out. The government can take 80% if they want, which they did at one time."

 Dr. Ron Paul   (1935-) American physician, US Congressman (R-TX), US Presidential candidate

"Only the IRS can attach 100% of a tax debtor's wages and/or property.
