I grew up in the Assemblies of God church. I loved the old hymns and still do. One declared “There’s a new name written down in glory and it’s mine: A new name. God gave Jacob a new name, Israel. I would imagine he gives us a new name too and it’s written in the Lamb’s book of life.

Jacob was known for his not so good a reputation. He wrestled with God. He wanted to be blessed and in the process, God wounded him and gave him a new name. Like the apostle Paul, he carried with him the constant reminder that his strength comes from God. We do too if we are children of God.

Pastors lead us in words of repentance which may be all well and good, I don’t know. What I do know is that we have deeply offended God, enough to send to us to hell. My sin must be eradicated, forgiven if I’m to have any relationship with God.

If we want eternal life with God, if we really love him, we would be in anguish about our sin. Repentance comes from a remorseful heart. Then we must wrestle with God, not let go, have a relentless desire for his blessing. The things that hurt Christ will hurt us. Repentance leads us to give our all to him.

The disciples were puffed up when they cast out demons, healed the sick, and raised the dead. Pretty cool stuff. Everybody’s impressed and you can get a large following. You may become famous, popular, in-demand everywhere.

But Jesus warned them; there is only one thing that’s important. What is that one thing, the question you must ask yourself? Is my name written in the Lamb’s Book of Life? Is there a new name written down in glory, is it mine, that’s what I must know. Have I wrestled with God, communed with him enough, that He knows my name.

We are warned to make our election sure, that we are in that ‘number’.

I will not boast in anything, no gifts, no power, no wisdom. But I will boast in Jesus Christ, his death and resurrection.

For months we were for the most part under house arrest in most of the United States. Our Bill of Rights vanished right before our eyes with the exception of the second amendment. Or so we thought.

A couple in St. Louis had their weapons confiscated because they were brandishing them in front of a mob that threatened them. No, we can’t have any ability to protect ourselves from anyone because just seeing our gun might conjure up horrible thoughts of oppression from those in the mob.

I doubt there will be a “patriot” that stands against this assault on our freedom. We might put up a little fight in court but let’s face it, the government has unlimited money and better attorneys.

What this means is that somebody must sacrifice their life, property, their everything to stop this robbery. In other words, the civil war which is necessary to maintain liberty must be initiated by someone who won’t give up their protection from the mob which is sponsored by the state.

How easy was it for the state to tell churches they could not meet and in California that Christians couldn’t sing so as to prevent the dreaded, end-of-the-world virus from killing everyone on the planet.

Keep your gun. Don’t turn it in. Go to church without a mask. In fact, go everywhere without one. It’s time to refuse to be led by tyrannical fools.

“Never trust a person who isn’t having at least one crisis.” Adolf Hitler. People like me aren’t driven by the crisis of the day. I’m not panicked by government propaganda. I can’t be trusted. I’m not as easy to fool.

The final showdown is here between right and wrong We are going to war, not over “wrongs” of the present, but wrongs of the past. The left is warring against history. So they are very close to replacing our republic with a socialist state.

We’ve ignored the writing on the wall for too long. The left have desires on your property and even your very soul. Socialism, then communism, is their goal. My advice? Take the risk. You have everything to gain and nothing to lose.

Cops are under pressure. They’re accused of brutality and abuse of our black citizens. For this, some are proposing a lawless politically correct society, and therefor defunding the police is actually being tossed around as an option.

Our self-centered society is becoming enraged not by real aggression but by micro-aggression or as the enlightened left says, an inherited sin that is condensed into one thing: racism.

We have taught our young that they are to blame for slavery and there is nothing they can do except make continual restitution for the crimes of their white-hood.

Slavery in its many forms is intolerable to modern man. The uniqueness of western culture is that there was found a way out of it. Everyone whatever race could have been a slave not that long ago. The present black culture, ginned up by politicians, have come to believe that they were the only ones in history so abused. A reading of history would dispel that belief and that is why history is either rewritten or glossed over in academia.

Whatever the case, this situation has given rise to a belligerent, intolerant, generation whose only virtue is hate.

In 2019, four hundred eight blacks were murdered in Chicago. How many killings were by the police? Seventy over the last five years. Police are sent in to deal with criminals, many of them violent. Police have arrested the same people several times because our courts have no desire to punish crime or protect the public. The inconvenient truth is cops kill few of the thousands of criminals they deal with.

Our children are taught that they are nothing more than animals, have no more value than a puppy. Abortion demonstrates in cold terms how the majority of adults feel about children.

Children grow up. Many grow up angry, abandoned by fathers, and neglected by mothers. Anger causes people to lash out. Most of the murders are committed by young people. Cops are tending to the mess society has created. It’s a wonder police don’t kill much more considering the animosity of those they deal with.

Blacks need to stop killing blacks. They need to stop seeking revenge. Will they do it? With hate groups like BLM it seems highly unlikely anything will change. The media will make sure of that. So get ready for an onslaught of violence. Worldwide, the Communist Party is on the move. Be ready or be sorry.
