Religion and Politics

Do you ever wonder what two topics can stir up division, hate and love all at the same time and at the drop of a hat, maybe it is because they are one and the same?

Religion tends to bind the follower to the letter of the law or teachings of a church, denomination or order. Violating those teachings can lead to expulsion and banishment or imprisonment, and even separating families. Politics can have the same effect. It has been said that every coin has two sides and for those who have chosen the other side the consequences can be very different.

When God sent his Son, Jesus, into the world it was much the same as it is today. God’s chosen people of Israel were in double bondage to the religious leaders and to the Roman governor and his occupying army. It could be even worse if one happened to be a servant.

It was expected that when the Messiah came he would free God’s chosen people from all oppression and life would be infinitely and immediately better.

When Jesus began his ministry on earth he told everyone, “The Son of man came to seek and save the lost.” Luke 19:10 and after 3 short years it was the religious leaders who turned Jesus over to the Roman soldiers to be crucified. It was so disheartening and disappointing for Jesus’ followers and yet God’s chosen people were still under the yoke of religious leaders and Rome.

Before Jesus ascended into Heaven he told his disciples “And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am.” John 14:3-4 NIV

Today the world is in exactly the same place, under bondage to religion and politics. Every nation answers to religious and political leaders and people are in virtual servitude (bondage if you will) to jobs or government programs often administered by religious organizations claiming to help, but in many cases seeking to extend or expand their outreach to others.

Religion says adhere to our doctrine. Politics says we are here for your benefit.

All religion and all political parties promise the same thing and will take their followers to exactly the same place – and it’s not Heaven. The wages of sin is death.

One-on-One Relationship with Jesus offers eternal life and is the only way to Heaven.

Jesus says, “I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.” John 14:6

It is up to us to recognize our sinful nature and ask God for forgiveness and then turn away from sin to follow Jesus. – RTM

And This too Will Pass

And This Too Will Pass

Zechariah 4:6 (New English Translation) – Therefore he told me, “This is the Lord’s message to Zerubbabel: ‘Not by strength and not by power, but by my Spirit,’ says the Lord of Heaven’s Armies.

Don’t get me wrong, Almighty God is in control. Nothing takes God by surprise or happens without His permission or purpose and evil never triumphs over God.

Men and women in power are in many ways tempted with money or more power. Those who resist are hounded, badgered and chastised until they give up, give in or simply go away. That is the way of politics.

Christians are gap fillers, prayer warriors and in many cases the last hope in seeking God to move in a given situation, but God is not a Genie in a bottle to grant three wishes when times are rough. In fact when it comes to thinking outside the box, remember it was God who created the box.

As I’ve previously written in 2015 prominent Texas Christian businessman Lance Wallnau was given a word from God concerning Donald J. Trump and his run for the presidency. It was a word that had to be spoken to and over Trump during a meeting at Trump Towers in New York City.

Referencing Isaiah 45, the appointment of King Cyrus, Lance said that God’s hand was on him, ‘The next President of the United States will be the forty-fifth president, and he will be an Isaiah 45 president.’ ‘Donald Trump is a wrecking ball to the spirit of political correctness.’ and to restrain evil. It wasn’t a long drawn out affair and the implications were yet to be seen.

When Trump felt God was calling him, instead of ignoring the call, Trump began calling prominent Christian men and women to pray for him. During the 2015-16 campaign seasons Trump went from political unknown to the most hated man in politics, bar none.

The election was the upset of the century as Democratic Party candidate Hillary Clinton was their favorite to win. Across the aisle nobody (Democrats or Republicans) felt Trump was qualified to win or equipped to become the most powerful head of state in the world.

During the Inauguration of the 45th President – Donald J. Trump was met with a full-on assault to him personally, his family and to his administration, but it was just the icing on the cake.

I often ask myself did Trump think it was worth it. I know the answer, yes if God is behind it, it’s worth it. So why did he do it? Why not wimp out and like Moses and other profits of old and tell God the excuses of why he picked the wrong guy?

I can tell you that is not Trump’s character.

I doubt that when Trump heard he was to restrain evil he had any idea how much evil would rise up against him. Even when Trump told his supporters “they are not after me, but after you and I’m just in the way” did he fully comprehend how much evil?

God knew how to stroke Trump’s ego by saying he would become an Isaiah 45 President and is a wrecking ball to the spirit of political correctness. But did Trump have any idea what that entailed?

Now nowhere have I found that when God calls a man or woman to accomplish any particular task or ministry, he puts an “end date” on the task. Yet I suspect that Trump sort of knew that because he hadn’t finished the work God sent him to do, he thought or at least suspected he’d get another term.

As we can see, God had other plans. Among those plans was to expose the political corruptness for what it really is, and show publicly how confident evil paraded itself around humiliating and demeaning the sitting President of the USA, both in and out of office.

Not counting the impeachment trials and countless unfounded accusations there was no public acknowledgements of Trump’s accomplishments which affected the stability of the world in which we live. And then there were the “important” politicians who died in office or after leaving office and publically Trump was forbidden from attending their funerals or memorial services.

I mean who does that? Out of spite or fear?

It really brought out the character of those who made those decisions and of those who coward down in compliance before them.

And who doesn’t know that self-quarantine, masks, vaccines, travel and work restrictions, fear and the lot were actually a test of compliance that the entire world flunked. Oh they were compliant, but flunked because it made on sense or difference on the Chinese virus.

What should have been the last straw was the 2020 election fraud perpetuated on Americans in public view worldwide. But actually what we’ve seen since is the manipulation of power in order to prepare for the next phase of world domination where the United States has been dealt a death blow.

We are told things are looking up, going according to plan, and better days are ahead.

Are they really? According to whose plan?

Will there even be a 2024 election? Plans for a One World Government do not include that of a lone Constitutional-Republic. Our economy is purposefully meant to implode and the only thing we can do is pray. – RTM

Questioning DOJ Presidential Protection Protocol vs Breaking the Law

8-4-2023

Questioning DOJ Presidential Protection Protocol vs Breaking the Law

All the current publicity over Trumps classified document and January 6th raise a number of unspoken questions as to what Law Enforcement Officers, namely the Presidential Details of Secret Service allow to “slip” past them should the actions of the protectee become unlawful. Let us take a brief look back at former presidents who even by today’s “standards” did things that make Trump look like a choirboy.

Need I say more than JFK and Marilyn Monroe and the office of the Attorney General under Robert Kennedy – was the protective detail so incompetent or did they stand by outside the makeshift bedroom door insuring nobody entered or left until the deed was done? JFKs assassination raises questions even today, how was it even allowed to happen?

Next was LBJ who had “sexual encounters” IN THE OVAL OFFICE. LBJ had a bell or buzzer installed so he could be warned when Lady Bird ventured to interrupt his conquests.

When the Watergate scandal occurred, where was the protective detail and why did they not intervene? It led to Nixon’s downfall and resignation.

There were Reagan’s arms to the Sandinista rebels involving Oliver North that took his administration by surprise, no protective detail involvement in a law enforcement capacity?

Then there was WJC who routinely snuck away and flew off to Epstein Island without his detail? How in the world did that occur with the protective HRC hovering nearby?

Then where was BHO, HRC and other government leaders during the Benghazi incident? What about those secretly given missiles to Syria that was the premise of the debacle? Or the secret server in HRCs residence used for official State Department communications with the President, and nobody knew about it? Yet Michelle could as First Lady go into Walmart undercover and nobody recognized her (or the detail that protected her)?

Another telltale sign of obvious suspicion was when a female secret service on the presidential detail refused to protect newly elected President Trump and she was simply reassigned to other duties. But when all the accusations of wrongdoings is brought up against Trump were there no secret service agents to stand up and say what really happened or didn’t happen?

I leave you with this question – is the Secret Service not part of the DOJ’s law enforcement agency? Do they not have an obligation to speak up and say “No Mr. President that is against the law?”

What about after leaving office, does the detail of any protectee simply act as chauffeurs, doormen or women, personal butlers or are they not agents of law enforcement? – RTM

Understanding the Playbook

8-3-2023

Understanding the Playbook

I’m not a sports fanatic and from what I know is every team has their own playbook. Coaches keep that confidential, while other coaches would like to know what’s in it. They want to understand where the other team is coming from so they can counter their plays and win the game.

The name of the game is to “WIN”.

The game of politics has pretty much the same goal, get the votes to win.

What I fail to understand is why political parties “over use” their playbook?

Years ago Donald Trump made it known in his business organization that publicity (good or bad) is publicity that has people talking about him and is publicity he doesn’t have to pay for it.

In politics Trump made Make America Great Again (MAGA) his mantra and America First his patriotic slogan. Instead of excluding voters, he encouraged them. Trump became a threat to Democratic politics as usual, where it was all about power over people.

Also years ago a man named Saul Alinsky wrote a book for radicals in which he gave steps to take to basically take down an organization, corporation or anyone who disagrees. The premise of his book was to identify, isolate and target someone using their words, or lacking that making stuff up. When others come forward to help, they become targets too and truth has nothing to do with it.

The Democratic political machine saw Donald Trump as an immediate threat and responded accordingly using the Alinsky playbook. In essence they attempted to change the outcome of the 2016 election and upon the inauguration of newly elected President Trump their efforts were that of an insurrection or coup to take down the sitting President of the United States.

Many congressional Democrats boycotted the inauguration, made public threats against the President, his family and his administration and took action to discredit newly appointed Trump cabinet members. Going further there were allegations of sexual misconduct, presidential misconduct resulting in two impeachments all based on false information.

There were allegations of election fraud which was contested by President Trump and led to the J6 allegation of insurrection (Trump tried to take down the duly elected head of state = Himself) before the certification of Electoral College ballots had been announced before the required joint session of Congress.

There were efforts by House Democrats to strip all rights and privileges of a former president from Trump after he left office. Then came the allegations of classified documents held by former President Trump which led to a massive and televised FBI raid of Mar Largo to “recover” those classified documents, and the subsequent first of its kind ever, ongoing investigation and publicly televised trial of a former president (Trump) during the 2023 campaign season prior to the upcoming 2024 Election in an attempt to prevent Trump’s bid for another term as President.

Strategies are meant to outdo the other side, but once your playbook has been “over used” or compromised its time to change it or switch playbooks. Alinsky said that you must have fun but “not over use” his tactics or they lose their effectiveness and your people lose interest.

What I see happening is people are seeing past the obvious gas lighting of America and democrats and republicans are separating themselves from the mainstream party lines as they begin thinking for themselves and see this trial simply as a political stunt.

There are barriers being erected around the courthouse before former President Trump makes his appearance in court as the trial is set to begin.

It makes me wonder why no barriers were erected around the Capital building prior to J6, was not President Trump’s prior authorization to Congressional leaders to activate National Guard troops taken seriously?

Why was the only casualty on J6 an unarmed and petite female named Ashlee Babbitt?

There are so many unanswered questions as to the political motives of everything our elected officials on both sides of the isle have done over the past 6+ years that we have not gotten answers to. Why? – RTM

You have the Right to..

7-29-2023

You have the Right to..

Believe it or not we’re in presidential election campaign season again and this time it’s for the 2024 election. In my opinion the spin is on – big time.

If you watch the news, White House press briefings or internet “click bait” ads you might believe that President Biden is a good president, at least better than Trump; Global Warming is caused by burning fossil fuels; and eVehicles are good for the environment; or the most obvious elephant in the room is that Trump’s crime of being in possession of classified documents will keep him out of campaigning and make him the worst possible candidate for the office of President. The spin from the left is that Trump’s MAGA followers have abandoned him during his time of need and none of the GOP or DNC candidates, for that matter, can beat President Biden in his bid for re-election.

Congressional Democrats are on the warpath (sorry my Indian friends) courting the LGBTQ+ Trans and Abortion Right votes by siding with them, even against common sense while at the same time beating the TDS drum of everything wrong in America and the environment is Trump’s fault.

Congressional Republicans while working to stem the outgoing funds which increase the national debt are a bit “soft” on addressing the real problem plaguing Congress – the Democratic idea that a Democratic-Republic would be better than the Constitutional-Republic for our country. It would change some fundamental standards in our rule of law and lead to a dictatorial head of state, no different than that of third world socialist or communist nations with the word “Democratic” in their nation’s official titles.

You don’t have to take my word for any of this, but just look around and you can’t miss it.

Any time you have public “trial” of a former president, running and campaigning for office of President, where the theme is obviously “guilty until proven innocent” in the court of public opinion, it is a perversion of the Constitutional right guaranteeing the accused is “Innocent until proven guilty” in a court of law with a fair and impartial jury of ones peers.  

The “down side” is that the publicity (good or bad) being given to Donald Trump is more valuable because it is free and exposes the democratic left for their TDS hypocrisy and those who count Trump out as a viable candidate and presidential front runner just don’t know “jack” about Trump.

We’ve heard and seen for years that Trump is someone who gives and keeps his word when it comes to making America better than ever. So having him out of the show and tell campaign debates gives everyone a chance to hear promises and how they alone are the antidote to what ails our nation.

What America needs in a leader is someone with a clear vision ahead and the ability to take America down that path to become that shining city upon a hill once again.

Who’s your favorite?

Can he/she do it?

Really?

You have the right to scroll by or ignore all the hype going on around you, it’s like chaff in the wind or you can and should pay attention to the details. You will after all suffer the consequences. – RTM

Send Em ALL Out to Pasture

7-27-2023

Send Em ALL Out to Pasture

I firmly believe it’s on the voter who goes to Washington and it’s on the voter who keeps these “Homestead Politicians” in office, but more importantly it’s on the elected official who after a taste of power refuses to let go. I really don’t follow politics as closely as I used to and I’ve written blogs about elected officials who never give up their “remote” control.

In the news lately are three examples of politicians who’ve spent their entire adult life working as “public servants” in Congress and are well past going to a retirement home where they can play bingo and/or watch old westerns on television.

The first and most prominent figure is President Joe Biden who’s only notable job outside of congress was a failed business venture as a lawyer. Once JB went to Washington he never left, except to follow a fellow and very junior Senator into the White House in 2009 and after a 4 year hiatus, JB re-emerged as the Democratic front runner and totally unexpected occupant of the White House against DJT. Need I say more? I think not. The second is lifetime Democratic Senator Diane Feinstein of California whose cognitive skills in office are showing the need for her to leave office and politics altogether. The third is lifetime Republican Senator Mitch McConnell who also is showing signs of aging that could leave a dark stain his political legacy.  

They are not the only ones either. Out of 535 congressional seats there are a number of other Senators and Representatives who truly need to leave office. I don’t mean retire either. I mean there should never be a career field called Public Service. Politicians are answerable to their constituents and should be held fully accountable for their actions representing American citizens and/or the states in which they were elected. If being a Public Servant truly were a job, so many elected officials should have been fired a long time ago.

And then there are those political hot shots that after being elected grab the headlines but have no idea how to help the voters who elected them. Their gift is personal and financial gratification and once they are gone they fade away faster than a hot red car in the Colorado sun.

Back in the olden days old mares and old studs were turned out to pasture, spending their final days lazing and grazing their final days, while young heifers and wild studs often ended up sold, traded or passed on to the glue factory. – RTM

Hypocrisy of Monumental Proportions

7-26-2023

Hypocrisy of Monumental Proportions

News reports about President Biden’s signing a proclamation to establish a historical monument dedicated to a 14-year old Emmett Till and his mother Mamie Till Mobley would be commendable if it were not so hypocritical.

Yes I said hypocritical, in that the past 5 years (and longer) efforts supported by members of Congress have condoned and supported the tearing down of historical monuments which they considered offensive because they were monuments to historical military and political leaders of the Civil War era.

It is a federal offense to deface, vandalize or destroy government property, including monuments, not to mention it is a waste of valuable resources and taxpayer funds. Yet during the previous administration DHS, DOJ, Federal and State law enforcement agencies did little to hold accountable those who committed these horrendous acts of terror in public, during daylight or at night.

Instead under the prodding of a Democratic lead-Congress national and state law enforcement agencies seemed deeply committed to hunting down, arresting and confining anyone publicly supporting the sitting POTUS Donald J. Trump.

Not once did I hear anything from the former Obama Administration or then former Vice President Joe Biden to stop the vandalizing of monuments and statues. There was no widespread manhunt to identify, track down and arrest those vandals

I’d like to know how many were actually held accountable or how many monuments or statues were restored?

We must learn from history, not recreate our own version of history and pass it off as fact. It’s been said that those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it.

Are we not headed down that road again?

For those who say America was built on slavery I say Hogwash! As a nation America was founded on biblical principles. It was men and women who saw opportunities to make money on the human slave trade which for many blacks began in their villages in Africa where they were kidnapped, abducted, transported and sold first to slave trader ship captains and then to the auction blocks in south and central America, before ever entering the North American continent where these people were parsed out individually to work in the fields and households of prominent plantation owners across the southeastern United States.

We must not forget that slavery came in all forms from European indentured servants, Chinese railroad and cleaning jobs or as Indian slaves taken by raiding parties or from human sex trafficking. These are all a part of the American experience and not exclusive to any one race or ethnic origin.

If taking down monuments or statues were of any historical significance, then I say go to Wall Street and take down the BULL for it signifies what the bible says that “the love of money is the root of all evil.” – RTM

Death is a Doorway

7-25-2023

Death is a Doorway

The Bible tells us in Hebrews 9:27, “And as it is appointed for men to die once, but after this the judgment,”

Taken at face value that statement alone can be a scary thing, the sinner has nothing to look forward to except justice, judgement for sin which is death. I’m not a doctor or part of some medical staff so I ask how do people react or respond when death comes knocking?

For the Christian, who has asked for and accepted the free gift of forgiveness from God facing justice, judgement, knows that God sees only Jesus, as their sin has been cast into the depths, never to be remembered again. For the forgiven death is simply a doorway into the presence of Almighty God for eternity.

Shortly before my mother passed in 2016 my father watched as ministering angels came to her caring for her every need until the door opened for her. A few short years later in 2019 my father passed peacefully in his sleep and awoke in the presence of Almighty God.

Death comes in many forms yet the ending is the same – one passes from life into eternity and then the judgement.

No matter how much we try, how careful or careless we are with our bodies, humans are not made to last forever. Since the fall of Adam and Eve sin has been a byproduct of human existence and death, physical death is the end of this earthly body, but not so with the soul of man which lives on eternally. Unless sin is atoned before physical death, spiritually man is destined for eternal separation from God.

Man could not rectify his own sin problem, so in His infinite wisdom, God made a way by sending his Son Jesus into the world, 100% man and 100% God to pay the price of sin – death; the most heinous death on the cross; He rose again on the 3rd day (as He said He would) taking the power of death away forever that anyone who believes in Him would have eternal life with and through Him.

Jesus said, “I am the way, the truth and the life and no one comes to the Father but through me.”

No matter how lost and unworthy you may feel, Jesus came, lived and died for YOU!

Don’t wait until they are standing over your grave saying what a good person you were and crying those crocodile tears because you are gone, Come to Jesus today, just as you are – acknowledge you are a sinner, ask Jesus to forgive you, believe in Jesus as the way, the only way to God and then turn from your wicked and sinful way, turn to Jesus and follow him. Even now… – RTM

Spinning Politics to the Right or Left

7-24-2023

Spinning Politics to the Right or Left

The year 2020 was to say the very least very unpredictable to say the least. America and the world began the year battling the 2019 virus with the epicenter at the city of Wuhan, China and spreading outward through Asia, Europe, and America and to the entire global community.

President Trump called it the China Virus and Congressional Democrats called him a racist for saying that. We went from a 14 day self-quarantine to “stop the spread” and all businesses, offices and government agencies either shut down to having employees working from home. Six feet apart we were told, masks, hand sanitizers and vaccinations were a must. Schools shut down with classes cancelled and online learning soon became a new “norm”.

Anyone who voiced concerns or issued a contrary opinion or prescribed “unauthorized” antidotes or antibiotics was quickly shut down by threat of license revoking and employment terminated while social media simply removed and banned those who “went against community standards”, including the sitting President of the United States.

The military train for Nuclear, Chemical or Biological Agents by attempting to mitigate or limit the exposure of personnel by the proper use of hazardous material (suits and equipment) and monitoring devices until given the “All Clear” by competent authority.

Wearing KN95 disposable face masks does nothing to protect the wearer from exposure, but does demonstrate a viable means of control over individual freedoms.

Domestic and international travel was effectively shut down for a period of time until Vaccine Passports were implemented. Masks are still required for international travel some 3 years later.

The year ended with Americans battling each other over the results of the 2020 election. On November 4th as Americans went to sleep the polls showed President Trump with a decisive lead over Joe Biden, but awoke on November 5th with the polls reversed and Biden declaring himself the President-Elect and demanding President Trump concede. Clearly President Trump did not concede, but contested the results and his efforts were batted down at every step.

The final phase of the election process occurred on January 6th, 2021 when the Electoral College cast their votes during a joint session of Congress. President Trump held a rally on the Mall where he encouraged everyone to see for themselves and watch the process unfold at the Capital.

What occurred was something out of a really bad “B” rated movie. Even before the President had finished speaking staged “MAGA” actors were being admitted into the Capital Building, even as the first MAGA fans were completing their 45 minute trek from the Mall. Soon it became obvious that the EC process was interrupted and members of Congress were escorted to a secure place away from the Capital.

It became violent when a retired female military police officer, having climbed through a broken window and along with others questioned Capital Police about the lack of police backup. A shot was fired and unarmed retired military police officer Ashli Babbitt was shot and killed by Capital Police lieutenant Michael L. Byrd who said he feared for his life and the lives of others. Lieutenant Byrd was later hailed as a hero by Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.

Pelosi ordered the erection of barricades around what she called the “Temple of Democracy” and ordered an investigation by a House J6 Committee of the “attempted coup/insurrection” led by President Trump.

Do you know what a coup is, or an insurrection?  It’s when someone attempts to overthrow the government and unseat the duly elected political leader – ie sitting President of the United States.

It’s nearly impossible to unseat oneself don’t you think.

There has been no investigation of election fraud/tampering/interference as alleged by President Trump during his contesting of the election process.

There was no investigation as to why a presidential candidate would circumvent the election process by declaring himself the winner “President-Elect” months before the Electoral College has even presented and cast their votes before Congress. This is especially concerning since Joe Biden spent his adult life as a member of the US Senate and 8 years as Vice President before being “elected” President.

How can someone claim to promote the truth without acknowledging the historical facts as they have occurred?

The left (DNC) claims they are fighting to preserve their democracy and maybe they are. But causing/promoting/encouraging division by class, race, finances and labeling dissenters as anti-un-American does nothing to promote national unity.

Opening America’s borders to massive/unvetted migrants is a disaster for national security and makes America less safe.

Democracy is not compatible with the US Constitution.

The United States of America is not a democracy, but a Constitutional-Republic.

The Bible is the basis for the US Constitution.

The Constitution is the basis for our nation’s rule of law.

Look at the communist nations around the world that were/are all Democratic nations, USSR (Russia); DPRC (China) and DPRK (North Korea) just to name a few.

The right (GOP) claims they are fighting to preserve the US Constitution and the guaranteed rights of American citizens and the America way of life (the American Dream).

Plainly speaking, if you are not building up our nation, you are tearing it down. If you are an elected/public official and rally against our nation’s laws as being unjust, but do nothing to create/change laws to make them just laws, then pack up your bags and go home.

America deserves better. – RTM

How to be a Good Christian

How to be a Good Christian

This morning’s sermon talked about it being impossible to live under the law given to Moses because by the law we are condemned already.

That’s why Jesus came to get us out from under the law. Jesus gave us faith so that whosoever believes in Him is no longer living under the law. Faith in Jesus who bore our sin and died on the cross gave us THE way to the Father. Jesus said HE IS THE WAY and there is no other way to be saved.

So having accepted Jesus and asked for forgiveness then makes us worthy to come to the Father in the name of Jesus, whereby we are cleansed as if we had never sinned. Cool.

Romans 8:8 – There is no therefore no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

So how do we become Good Christians?

We can’t work our way unto salvation, it is a gift from God lest any man should boast.

We should do what is right in God’s eyes – love Him with all our heart, mind, soul and strength and love our neighbor as we love ourselves. It’s easier said than done – believe me.

Mark 12:29 – 31

29 “The most important one,” answered Jesus, “is this: ‘Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one.[e] 30 Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’[f] 31 The second is this: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’[g] There is no commandment greater than these.”

Maybe, just maybe we should just tell others that God loves them, that Jesus is the way and live by example. Like what the pastor said this morning – spend time on our knees in prayer, dig into the Word and surround ourselves with Godly men and women who simply love God – and talk JESUS!

Does God love me more than you or you more than me? No – the Bible tells us that God created everyone equal in His eyes. There is no slave or free, nor Gentile nor Jew, no male or female – all are equal in the sight of God.

In God’s eyes the person with the Holy Spirit wins, toys don’t matter.

Salvation is the name of the game and the loser simply “craps out” – loses it all, eternity without the Creator God – by personal choice (the right to choose).

John 3:16 – For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

The winner resides with the Father for eternity.

Today is the day of salvation, we are not promised another breath, heartbeat or tomorrow. – RTM
