Do you ever wonder how some people can respond to a question or issue without answering the question or actually addressing the issue. If anyone points out that their response was off point they simply say that they did answer and the questioner did not understand or something similar thereto. It should be an insult to all listening when someone tries to evade answering then attempts to cover their deliberate evasion, but the fact is we now have a lazy weak minded society that does not know how to analysis information, therefore they do not realize they are being deceived. If you do not have the ability or intelligence to figure out you are being played then you can not be offended. Then you will not take any action to counter the distortions and smoke being proffered by liberals and those in the progressive movement. They realize their ideas can not stand up to the test of truth or history, so they resort to lies and deception knowing that those in the media are on their side and will not expose them and their cohorts in the government school systems who have taught the lies and distorted the facts to a whole generation, so they are now unable to think critically and except the untruths they have learned. When a lie is heard over and over with little challenge it all too often becomes excepted as a fact although it is still a lie.
It has been said that those who do not find the truth and then stand up for that truth will fall for anything. Take a hard look at our society and you will see the basis for this adage. If you now wonder why no examples have been listed to reflect what is being referred to, the answer is actually pretty simple. Those who need the examples are not yet ready to see or understand and those who are ready do not need the examples because they have already sensed that the truth is being distorted. This is to encourage the latter group to find the truth and then stand up for the truth no matter what may come, the former group must first decide they want to see and put in the work required to overcome their blindness. Those who see must stand up and make a difference!

DOES NOT ADD UP....
There has been increase in attacks on Christian prayer in last couple of years esp. in the USA. An all out attempt to outlaw any public prayer that is Christian, which has included the firing of workers for praying over a co-workers area after hours when the co-worker was not present. Christian prayer before public meetings that have occurred since the nation was founded are suddenly being found unlawful by many judges. Intimidation tactics have been employed by atheist groups like ACLU and ASCS are leading the charge, they have no problem with prayers in general, only prayers which are prayed through the name of Jesus Christ. With atheism being the belief that there is no God, you would assume that what others did would be of little concern if there was in fact no God. Throughout history you can find examples of prayer being outlawed or restricted along with other attempts to control religious thought. Communist countries along with Islamic nations have been the latest using harsh tactics including death to stop christian prayer and adherence. Now the free countries are moving to restrict same while becoming more open to religions that would enslave women and eliminate all who oppose their rule. The question one should ask is why does it bother someone who claims to be an atheist if someone prays. If there is no God, then prayer would just be empty words spoken in the wind. Another question should be why no real concern of prayer unless it is a Christian prayer using name of Jesus Christ. Looking at these 2 questions unless blind and brain dead you must come to conclusion that they not only know there is a God but that He is also the God of the Bible. God says He will hear and answer the request of those who love Him and make their request to Him in the name of Jesus. Now there are two ways we can know for sure that there is a God, one is by God revealing Himself to us through repentance and faith in Jesus death burial and resurrection. Second way the Bible tells us is that Satan the prince of darkness and the father of liars, believes and reveals the same to those who follow him. All others he seeks to deceive using their unbelief and the pride of life to distract them from the truth that one day everyone will have to pay for their on sin if they have not accepted Christ payment for that sin. All will choose and the failure to choose or making wrong choice will have same result of no forgiveness and joining Satan and his followers in eternal separation from God and His loving light forever. It is written that darkness, weeping, gnashing of teeth, worms that do not die with tormenting heat await all who will not accept the payment of their sins by Jesus the son of God. Life is short but eternity is forever, choose well for God will honor your choice. May you count yourself worthy of forgiveness and faith.

BOTH WRONG
Sports have long been held up as good way to keep kids out of trouble and teach values that will help through out life. Somewhere along the way something got flipped and no one paid much notice or just did not care. Think about the following everyday happenings.
Watching kids playing in a sports game and you will notice that the parents tend to be a little crazy. Yelling at officials and coaches alike if disagree with a game decision. There seem to be two main groups of parents, one that believes in win at any cost and the second is almost as bad teaching that it does not matter how you play as long as you have fun since no one should feel bad and all should be rewarded the same win or lose. The win at any cost crowd want the increased prestige & money/opportunities that come with winning. We see this in to many of to-days political leaders as they believe everything is about them and the rules they put in place only apply to the regular people not them or those wealthy individuals who help them stay in power. The other group seem to want everyone to have not the same opportunity for success but to receive the same rewards regardless of efforts or applied abilities.
Ask yourself would you really want to play a game with someone who breaks the rules(cheats) to "win" the game or someone who puts forth no effort and does not care about outcome. Both make the game worthless and waste of your time.
Remember the old saying of - cheaters never win and winners never cheat -. We now have to many that believe - get ahead at any cost and winning is all that matters- as you only go around in this life once so get all you can anyway you can since no one is more important than yourself. The other group worships under banner of 'from each according to ability to pay and to each according to their need regardless of effort. This is no more than legalized stealing and leads to mutually shared poverty.
With the win at any cost mentality why do we wonder at corrupt elected officials, corporate greed, tax cheats, embezzlement, employee thief, shoplifting, insurance fraud, crooked repair shops, fraud & abuse of government service programs, etc. When combined with those who believe in legalized stealing is it any wonder that we are facing financial, moral and social collapse
Now you have an idea of why belief in evolution is so important in our society, it is a very disturbing thought that we were created by God. Since if we were we would have to answer to Him for failure to follow His law and the accepting of Jesus Christ His son's payment for our sins.
An unacceptable thought for any who have not studied the Bible to determine how to have a personal relationship with God through His son Jesus.
The stakes can get no higher than to reject the Bible as God's word and not find out until to late that wrong decision was made.

Protecting the Guilty
Laws that prohibit the execution of anybody with low IQ's, as tested by court appointed doctors or otherwise reduce punishment based on notion that crime is victims fault. Now just watch for those who are smart enough to lower their IQ score to escape justice. Elected "representatives" never cease to surprise me and amazing how we continue to find so many people lacking common sense to vote into office. My thought is that there must me a test given to those who seek elected office which test for common sense or wisdom and only those who fail are allowed to run for office. I also wonder if the same test is used when appointing judges.
If you are killed by someone who scores low on IQ test rather than by someone who scores higher must mean you are not as dead or injured to their way of thinking. What a republic to give so much opportunity to those who could not make an honest living, they are allowed to leech off of hardworking honest citizens.
It appears that there are more protections for the guilty than for the innocent and the courts have become the safe haven for child molesters, sexual deviants, murders, etc. unless of course they are not a part of PC crowd. Then amazingly the law seems to work okay. And now in the USA the blindfold has been taken off of lady justice. The government withdraws charges in voter intimation case which included video evidence, only reason dropped was skin color of the criminal. Ever notice that innocent until proven guilty works best for those with money or position. How about the tax laws where the adage changes to guilty until proven innocent. What have we allowed our Country to become?

Violation of Their Oath
Trouble ahead for USA. In recent years the 9 members of the US Supreme Court have increasingly decided important cases by 5 to 4 votes. We must ask how can this be when each was required to take an oath to uphold the US Constitution when deciding the cases that come before them. Either some of the Justices are ignorant of the Constitution and the intent of the framers of that document or they are deliberately
violating their oath in an attempt to destroy that which they swore to uphold. But regardless of the motivation of those who violate their sworn duty it is becoming clear that the end result will be the same. No nation can survive when it's foundation has been destroyed, all that remains will be distrust in the government and anarchy with civil war in the streets. Votes now being cast by 4 members of the court use current PC thought, the world court and personal biases in casting their vote to decide cases and are even so brazen as to include same in the dissenting opinion from the majority vote. At times they have been able to get the 5th vote necessary to prevail and openly listed reasons in the ruling opinion that are contrary to the Constitution that the decision was suppose to be based upon.
Once the 5th and final member needed has been added to the Court, only hope would be impeachment of the Justices for violating their sworn oath to uphold the Constitution. However this will not be likely since those voting to confirm adding these activist Justices to the court are not likely to turn around and vote for their impeachment. Therefore we will be left with no foundation for our laws and the freedoms that have made the USA a safe haven for the worlds oppressed. Then it will be hello violence and upheaval, goodbye peace and freedom. The progressives have undermined our nation and are awaiting the funeral of this Republic. Are you ready for that which is to come and the troubled dark times. The hour is late but there is a little life left. If you do not want to witness the funeral then now is the time to speak up, get involved, and pray for national repentance so that God will intervene. Wake up before it is to late!

Lighthouse
Happiness and peace will become the companion of all who refuse to follow the advice of the wicked while not allowing themselves to be followers of those who love sin while scorning those who try to live in a righteous manner. Those who delight in the things of God and reflect on His word continuity will find an oasis of calm in a sea of hopeless turmoil. God will prosper those who follow His path for their life and no matter what they face they will not be shaken nor moved like a ship at anchor. Those who will not acknowledge God are not so, but are more like dust blown about by the wind of societal change and with no anchor there is no calmness of spirit. Peace becomes a moving target for all who heed the current babble of the progressives. Those who chose to live by the selfish standards of mankind will find themselves lost in an ocean of despair with no ground for relief. God knows the way of those who seek Him in righteousness and they follow His Light so they do not fall in the trenches of this world. However God also knows the way of the ungodly and that their way leads to pain and needless sorrow of spirit. He shines His light into the darkness like a lighthouse gives warning of danger to be avoided. You are the captain of your ship and the choice to heed the light or deny its warning is yours to make. Those who will accept the warning and turn from the danger, avoid being shipwrecked and sunk for all eternity. Find Hope for your journey through this life in the Bible, it is the only way to know the Truth. May you find the anchor for your life in Jesus the Christ who paid the price for sin so we would not have to. He is the Light, may you walk in that Light.

No leadership
Oil continues to gush into the USA Gulf Coast area, fouling everything it touches. Death and Destruction are visible on every side. Now for over 60 days the onslaught has continued and one must wonder how much longer before it can be stopped. A look at the US government response is eye opening. The main actions taken are lot of hot air and getting lawyers involved to see who can be held accountable along with possible criminal charges. The offers from other nations willing to help ignored or just refused. Blaming BP for problem and strong arming them into setting up fund to pay damage claims run by the government seems to be the priority. Now nothing wrong with making sure damages are taken care of BUT the focus needs to be an all hands on deck approach in working to stop the oil from continuing to flow before it starts to cause damage to other nations and destroys ocean eco system for years to come. The sad thing is that the US government encouraged the deep water drilling with no viable data in how to handle a ruptured pipe problem at such a depth. Now we have the problem and no workable plan to fix in a reasonable time frame. No leadership from Washington DC and BP with out the power and resources needed to fix before it became a major problem. The one time a problem is large enough to actually need government to step in to coordinate the containment and clean up effort and all we get is talk about paying for damages and who should be blamed. There is a time for everything and now is the time for action to stop the flow of oil and after that has happened THEN it will be time for blame, investigations, liability, and paying for the damages. If the government cannot answer the bell for this issue how can it be trusted to run the health care system effectively for over 300 million people. Another nightmare waiting to happen. We vote in those who have not only no experience in the real world but no clue as to how to lead in a critical time. Is it any wonder why excuses seem to be the rule of the day by those who are blinded by their ideology even while walking in darkness. Interesting times are upon us indeed.

Costly choice
I was once offered some free stuff by my neighbor, told him thanks but did not really need. Talked me into it he did. Could make use of it although did not need or have to have. So took the stuff off of his hands and used it. My reason for taking was that it was not costing me anything and could find use for it, what could possibly be wrong with something free and helping neighbor out at same time. Everyone else would have thought the same, what crazy person would turn down something free that they could use even if not needed. Well, I wish that crazy person had been me as the result of taking and using the free stuff it ended up costing me $800+. Not my neighbors fault as he was basically blind to the issue & did not know or think about any possible ramifications for me. I will not make that mistake again or anything close as since that time I check out more then just that an item is free. I look at from as many sides as I can to find any cost or issues that others may have missed and to make sure that I can afford if wrong to pay any possible cost. The good news for me is that in this case the lesson learned was a matter of inconvenience, somewhat expensive and of no lasting harm. I live on with a life lesson learned that all things free are not always without cost. Now you may ask what on earth brought that life lesson to this blog. Think about this how many people live their lives by their own standards. They dismiss as fairy tales anything that indicates that there might be a Creator God who we will have to answer to after our final breath is taken. The problem here is simple, The Bible tells us that God loves us and His son Jesus the Christ died for our sins so we would not have to pay the price. All we have to do is repent and accept the payment for our sin, allowing God to change us from the inside out. Some will say that this is just a fairy tale they can not accept, even if it was not based on Jewish old testament and the new testament that God also used Jews to pen. Anti-Semites do not judge themselves worthy simply because of dislike for Jews and some Jews do not count themselves worthy simply because the price was also paid for Gentiles. (Go figure!)
Now let us consider the matter if the Bible is correct and everyone will have to pay price for their sins for all eternity. The choice becomes to pay the required price personally or to accept the payment that God prepared for those who will repent and humble themselves by acknowledging that they need the Savior. So the question remains what is the cost of being wrong and can you afford it. If the Bible is not the word of God and therefore a fairy tale you will have no problem. However if Bible is in fact the word of God and you choose not to believe then the price will be paid for all eternity with no second chance. My mistake was not to count all possible cost in my decision to take the free stuff and therefore I have no one to blame but me for the price I ended up paying for wrong choice. At least when I made the wrong decision the cost was limited in scope and duration. You can not afford to let others talk you into a choice that is unlimited in cost and duration as eternity is forever. Consider the ultimate cost is your soul and where you will have to spend eternity. You will have no one to blame if you choose wrong just as I could not blame my neighbor for my wrong choice. The ultimate choice was mine to make. You will make the ultimate choice of accepting or rejecting what the Bible tells us is God's requirement to spend eternity in Heaven. Count the total cost and at least you will not be surprised. God has said you are worthy of receiving payment for your sin, are you willing to accept the Truth.

Free Choice
Do you really believe you have freedom of choice and responsibility for your decisions. Think about driving a car without a government issued permit or not wearing your seat belt or talking on a cell phone or riding a motorcycle without an approved helmet. You will find if pulled over that the ticket will not be free as you will get to pay a fine for your "free" choice. A law that is intended to force you to avoid the risk of extra injuries in a crash if you make the wrong choice and decide to not wear a seat belt or helmet. There are laws to restrict how you can develop your own property, even when it does not interferes with your neighbors property. If the government decides it wants your home or land it will condemn it and take it by force paying you whatever it decides to assign as it's value. Social security tax is used to force you to save for retirement. Then Government spends it rather than investing it for the stated retirement.
Government passes health care laws that require everyone to get health insurance whether you want it or not and then controls access to the care. However if you are in the country illegally you do not have to worry as you do not have to pay or be a part of financing the system. Speech has become a restricted freedom unless you hold PC views, speech based on the Bible or books based on its teachings are about the only speech that it is banned from the Public discourse.
But do not to worry it is still okay to kill a baby as long as you pay someone else to do it for you. However a Doctor or Hospital that chooses not to be involved in the murder of babies will face loss of funding and sanctions.
For senior citizens it has become a dangerous time for them with government controlled health care decisions using age based factors in cost analysis in order to control cost. But again no need to worry they will continue to approve the medical cost of killing the babies using the money saved from denial of real medical treatment to seniors and those with permanent disabilities.
Watch for more use of the tax laws and enforcement using the tax enforcement agencies to limit real freedom of choice in the coming years.
Voting alone is not enough you must start putting people in office whose primary concerns are the freedom of our people, rather than those who would enslave us to their paternal worldview. How much Freedom do you really have when you disagree with the PC crowd who are bend on insuring all nations become like third world countries. The Hour is late but there still is hope if you will walk out of the dark fog and become a source of light to help others escape the fog. Are you willing to become a light?

Faith of an Atheist.....
How about the self proclaimed Atheist, with all of the knowledge available today, I will quickly admit I did not have enough faith to be an atheist. The big bang just didn't get it for me. Even grade school kids know there are trillions of stars most larger than our sun and even if the stars didn't have planets revolving around them it would defy all reason to believe they happened from a "big bang" or just by some random chance. If one is educated just on how physical sight occurs it would take a miracle amount of faith to accept it happened by pure random chance. But I guess some people would believe you could put all the parts of a watch in a box and given enough "time" it would start telling time.(Now where did all those parts come from to put in the box?) Bottom line is this if Atheist are right and I am wrong in allowing God to have changed me, it would be no big deal for me, as would just end up like them, as worm food, however if Bible is the word of God then I get to spend eternity in Heaven and the Atheist and non believers .... well you might want to spend a lot of time praying that you are are not wrong as life is short and eternity is forever. I would suggest you might want to read the Bible again so at least you will not be surprised when you die and face judgment at the hand of God who has informed us that we get a choice between 2 locations for all eternity. One being Heaven where He abides and the other Hell where Satan will be dwelling for eternity. Know that God was the one who allowed His son Jesus the Christ to die for our sins so we would not have to pay the price ourselves and have to spend eternity in the place created for Satan along with his followers. You know the God who you denied even exist. The stakes can be no higher.. choose well since unlike those who have accepted the paid price you can not afford to be wrong. If you choose to reject the gift of forgiveness study the Bible well so you will know what eternity will be like for you if you are wrong. May you choose well as your choice will be honored for all eternity.
