I woke up early; 3:30. I listened to a sermon on my Ipod which is my common practice when I wake early. The sermon was on the power of the tongue. What we say tends to be what we get. We don’t think much of the impact of our words on other people and even ourselves.

We say things we think we believe, but is there any proof we’re sincere? Much of what we say is an excuse for doing nothing. Oh, we have our routines and there may be nothing “wrong” with what we’re doing, but are we doing anything that has eternal weight?

1 John 9:4 I must work the works of Him that sent me, while it is day. The night cometh when no man can work.

So who is it that sent us and where did He send us? I’d venture to say we’re to go out the door and work for the Lord. But what is this work He’s sent us to do? Why was Christ sent to this world but to find and save that which is lost. All of our actions and motives are but for one thing, finding the lost and offering them salvation.

I’ve noticed lately the night is coming, my death is drawing near. I’m weaker and less sure of myself. All those things I’ve procrastinated about, many of them can’t be done. Opportunity comes and if not taken, slips away. People move away, we move away, they die and we don’t have another chance to say what we should have said.

We don’t pray much because we don’t believe much. We want to be good, honest, kind and like to hang around others who are the same. It’s hard to be so kind to those who hate us, don’t love God,, and may be hostile to Christ. Jesus said to love your enemies, treat them well, be like Christ to them.

Jesus had compassion on the hurting, but he wasn’t some kind of Social Justice Warrior. He didn’t come to solve the social ills of the world by doing “good” things. No, he came to save them from their sins. All of our problems stem from having hearts of stone; we need hearts of flesh so we can remember that we’re merely sinners saved by grace and those we struggle with are perishing. We are their lifeline to salvation. If we don’t look past their sin, we can’t pull them into the boat.

I guess it’s hard for those who have always been good. When you’re squeaky clean it’s hard to understand the dirty among us. When ever I feel I’m pretty good, I just have to remember when I was pulled out of the miry clay and saw my sin and its destruction for what it was. I thank God for saving me from the power and penalty of sin.

Our work is to speak words of life, be continually aware of opportunity save those that are lost. Times a-wastn’. I’m finding that night makes a sudden appearance. I didn’t really think about it much. I always thought there would be tomorrow. There’s not.

We’ve all heard or used the phrase “you can’t fix stupid”. There is this idea everyone has that they are smarter, wiser, more educated and let’s not forget holy than everyone that disagrees with them. We have so much invested in our superiority that it’s very difficult to get at the truth of anything. Why? Because superior people don’t listen to what they consider inferior people.

We now have a new administration dedicated to the proposition that all men are stupid and will be endowed by their government with certain rights that can be given to whoever worships them the best and taken away because of thinking the wrong thoughts.

So we are going to live through the same America hating administration as we had with Obama. Biden was and still is a power-hungry oligarch and flippantly issues edicts to harm as many Americans as possible.

What you say? Let’s get troops into Syria right now. Let’s force our country to buy our petroleum from countries that produce oil with no regard to the environment. So in the process (just like in the lockdowns) they eliminate jobs which they don’t deem as essential. That translates into your life not being essential which is of course the bare naked truth of what the Democrat Party thinks of you.

This is further demonstrated by their penchant for a school yard type of revenge on those they don’t like, those who get in the way of their deserved authority. Their positions have nothing to do with justice and everything to do with power.

Thirty five thousand troops surrounding the capital should be enough to wake up even the woke crowd but alas the opposite is true. Just like those who were mesmerized by Adolf Hitler, Beijing Joe devotees pant after Joe. But in Joe’s case it’s not because he’s a strong leader (that will come with Hateful Harris), no it’s because Joe is one of them, one of the crowd of condescending self-righteous, neighbor destroying jackals, weak in morals and strong in self-defined virtue.

Identity politics has been a masterful move just like everything our “betters” have orchestrated for the last hundred years. Can we overpower these thugs? I don’t know, I have no crystal ball, but I do know what the Bible tells us if we’re willing to listen. Just like the vaccine, the mark is coming No doubt we won’t be able to travel without the vaccine. We’ll be well-conditioned to buy and sell with the mark. They say in the end we (we being Christians) win, but I think the battle ahead may make us feel like winning isn’t even an option.

Our assurance is not in winning this battle but in realizing His promise is true. I believe God’s promise and Word are true. That’s why I’m looking up because redemption is drawing near, but maybe not on our schedule.

When some BLM protesters became violent and looted, burned our cities and causing the death of fifty people, I resented those actions but I knew that those people were on the fringe of the movement and therefore were taking advantage of the chaos.

I would like you to think of the atmosphere identity politics has created and all of it “spin” by the Democratic Party. It might be politically savvy to call the opposite party Nazis and racist just because they are white, and say our president is Hitler but those words are meant to convey that we are the enemy and not worthy of living.

I myself am afraid of the hatred displayed by the Democratic Party and so it would be no wonder that “Nazi/white supremacists would feel threatened and be on the side of the party that didn’t hate them. It is unconscionable to label 74 million people as racists. This is dangerous offensive talk and could not lead to anything good.

Our country used to be a “melting” pot, a place where people of different ethnic backgrounds could learn to live together and decide it was more important to be American than it was to keep allegiance to the countries and political systems they fled.

All this talk of re-education camps, destroying people because they worked in the last administration, and creating a zero history culture is not unifying, it is the talk of war and hate. Beijing Biden says the word unity like a swear word; it means nothing except 1984 or the Brave New World of tyranny.

We now have the most corrupt president in history. We have been sold out to the Chinese by a family who profit quite handsomely from the treason. I don’t vote for people because they have the “right” sexual views or because they have a certain letter in front of their name. Biden is filling his cabinet with incredibly incompetent people and it we will pay a huge price in the end. “Printing money will only go so far.

But in the end it matters little as we have long gone past that point of return and we are on the threshold of that magic place called the Valley of Megiddo.

The fact is that the Democratic Party has been laundering votes for many years. Votes are recounted but never has the system been audited. So they’re very skilled at creating the illusion that elections mean something, that your guy/girl/cousin It winning means you’re winning.

Up till now there has been no need for overwhelming tinkering in elections but because Trump received a landslide majority it threw their fraud efforts into the open. So the truth now comes out that we have been living in a one party state but giving the populous the impression that their vote counts. On top of that the radical left have consolidated power and no longer want to participate in the two-party charade.

Now that the curtain has been pulled back, people realize we can print as much as we need without consequence. No need for the two-party bickering, just show us the money. We have voted ourselves into the swamp. Is that why it’s getting so hard to breathe?
