Good morning Everyone and God bless you all!  This morning was the National Prayer Breakfast in Washington, D.C., and what Trump said and prayed was awesome!  Praise God we have a President who is not afraid to honor the Lord!  Praise God we have a President who humbles himself before God and seeks His wisdom and blessing!  Praise God we have a President who actually loves our country and is fighting for righteousness!  Praise God justice was done and he was acquitted!  Please take time to pray for our President and our country today!

“This morning we come together as one nation, blessed to live in freedom and grateful to worship in peace…

In everything we do we are creating a culture that protects freedom, and that includes religious freedom.  As I said on Tuesday in the house chamber, in America we don’t punish prayer, we don’t tear down crosses, we don’t ban symbols of faith, we don’t muzzle preachers, we don’t muzzle pastors.  In America, we celebrate faith, we cherish religion, we lift our voices in prayer, and we raise our sights to the glory of God.”

-President Donald J. Trump, National Prayer Breakfast, 2-6-2020

Praise God!  What an amazing quote from an American President!  Thank You Jesus!

Let that show the world that we are a free people and we can worship God in freedom and peace!  The governments of nations should not be persecuting people of faith!  Let that be an example of love for all nations to follow!  Glory to God!

If you believe in Jesus and you slander, judge, and point your finger at Trump, you should be ashamed and repent.  Stop being a hypocrite and pray for the man.  Stop believing liberal lies.  Stop being a coward.  Trump is standing up for righteousness!  Stand up and speak the truth!  You do realize God uses his people in the political arena too, right?  We must speak truth to every part of our society.

Here are some more great things Trump said at the National Prayer Breakfast:

“So much of the greatness we have achieved, the mysteries we’ve unlocked and the wonders we’ve built, the challenges we’ve met and the incredible heights that we’ve reached has come from the faith of our families and the prayers of our people.  Before America declared independence, Patriots in all 13 colonies came together in days of fasting and prayer.  In the bitter cold of Valley Forge, Washington and his men had no food, no supplies, and very little chance of victory.  Reminded me a little bit of 2016, we had very little chance of victory.  Except for the people in this room and some others believed we were going to win.  I believed we were going to win.  But what they did was have an unwavering belief that God was with them.  I believed that too.”

“To protect faith communities I have taken historic action to defend religious liberty including the Constitutional right to pray in public schools.  We can also talk about the Johnson amendment, we can talk about Mexico City policy, we’ve done a lot, but I also recently took executive action to stop tax payer dollars form going to colleges and universities that spread the poison of antisemitism and bad things about Christianity.  We are upholding the sanctity of life, the sanctity of life.  And we are doing that like nobody has ever done it before from this position.  You better get out and vote on November 3rd because you have a lot of people out there that aren’t liking what we’re doing.  And we’re pursuing medical breakthroughs to save premature babies because every child is a sacred gift from God.”

“Together we are building the world’s most prosperous and inclusive society.  We are lifting up citizens of every race, color, religion and creed.  We are bringing hope to forgotten communities and more Americans are working today, 160 million.  Think of it, more Americans are working today, almost 160 million, than ever before.  Our unemployment numbers are the best in the history of our country.”

-Donald J. Trump, National Prayer Breakfast

Praise God!!!  Do you remember the wicked things the last President did and said?  Do you remember how he supported abortion and Planned Parenthood?  Do you remember when he declared that America was not a Christian nation?  It is so beautiful and refreshing to have a President that stands up for God and the truth of His Word!  How truly awesome it is to have a President that stands up for our Judeo-Christian values and protects our beautiful babies!  The last President hates God and he hates Christians and he did everything he could to kill more babies.  We should all be very grateful to God that He raised up Trump to fight the wickedness in our country!  Praise God!

“This morning let us ask Father in Heaven to guide our steps, protect our children, and bless our families, and with all of our heart let us forever embrace the eternal truth that every child is made equal by the hand of Almighty God.  Thank you, God bless you, and God bless America.”

-Donald J. Trump, Closing Prayer at National Prayer Breakfast

Stand up and don’t be ashamed to love God and speak the truth!  May the Lord continue to spread revival and bring healing to our great country!  May the Lord bless Trump with another 4 years to fight for truth and righteousness and may the Lord continue to bless us with righteous leaders who honor His Holy Name!

Grace and peace to you all!

“Blessed are those who hunger and thirst

for righteousness,

for they will be filled.”

Jesus speaking in Matthew 5:6

If you haven’t heard already, Trump was just acquitted of every single false accusation against him!  Praise God!  God loves truth and justice and He hates false accusations and lies.  Like I’ve been saying since September, this whole impeachment was an absolute partisan witch hunt based on lies, false accusations, and false witnesses.  Just like I told you, Trump isn’t going anywhere.  Pelosi and the Democrats are traitors and liars and they are the ones who need to be investigated for abuse of power.  God made Trump President of these United States of America and he will remain President!

“You shall not give false testimony

against your neighbor.”

Exodus 20:16 (9th Commandment in the Ten Commandments)

Trump has been declared Not Guilty on all the charges in Articles 1 and 2 of impeachment and there is nothing the Democrats can do about it no matter how much they whine and stomp their feet.  Everything the Dems have done to stop Trump since 2016 has failed miserably.  Their violent hateful 4 year tantrum has come to absolutely nothing.  They stand totally exposed as the traitors and liars they truly are.

“You destroy those who tell lies;

bloodthirsty and deceitful men

the LORD abhors.”

Psalm 5:6

Pelosi’s behavior at the State of the Union speech yesterday shows just how much she hates America, and people will remember all of this in November.  The Democrats are running on an anti-American socialist agenda that the majority of Americans soundly reject.  We can see their hate for us and the whole impeachment is blowing up in their faces.  It’s time for the Democrats to gut their party and clean house, starting with Pelosi.

The Democrats have abused their power and used impeachment as a partisan weapon.  This entire ridiculous circus was put on out of pure hatred.  There was no truth to any of the charges against Trump.  The Dems attacked our President, our Constitution, and our Republic with their traitorous impeachment scheme and they need to be held accountable for their actions.

I am very thankful that God loves truth and justice.  The Lord is full of grace and truth and He wants us to pursue truth and justice and walk in it.  Accusing a man falsely is a sin before God.  The entire impeachment was a false accusation and sin before God.  Every single person who voted “guilty” in the trial is a traitor against our country, including Romney.  May the socialist lunatics who hate America and our Constitution never run our country!

“He has showed you, O man, what is

good.

And what does the LORD require of

you?

To act justly and to love mercy

and to walk humbly with your God.”

Micah 6:8

“The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us.  We have seen his glory, the glory of the One and Only, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.”

John 1:14

If Pelosi and her crew had their way, the whole country would look like the failed socialist city of San Francisco.  Socialism leads to tyranny, poverty, and death.  My neighbor from Venezuela can tell you all about it.  So can all the homeless people defecating on the streets in San Francisco.

Praise God the impeachment is over!  Trump has done an amazing job for our country and I hope you will join me in praying for him.  The man has endured a non-stop onslaught of hatred, lies, and false accusations since the day he came down the escalator at Trump Tower with his lovely wife.  Trump has stood firm and fulfilled his promises despite all the evil against him, and he has my respect and my vote.

Trump is vindicated and I pray the Lord blesses him with another 4 years to rebuild our nation!  Remember how much he has accomplished with passing the USMCA (and ending the traitorous NAFTA), the China trade deal, fixing the socialist healthcare fiasco, defunding Planned Parenthood, the booming economy, the lowest unemployment in decades, appointing 187 federal judges and 2 Supreme Court justices, making America energy independent, defending our Constitution, defending prayer in schools, supporting school choice, protecting our borders, strengthening and supporting our military, defending our Embassy in Iraq (no Benghazi this time), recognizing Jerusalem as the true capital of Israel and moving our Embassy there, and being a real American who actually loves America!

God bless you Mr. President!  Real Patriot Americans are standing with you, we are praying for you, and we have your back!  Keep fighting the good fight!  Thank you for loving our country and fighting for us!  Thank you Jesus for giving us a real American President who is not ashamed to proclaim your Name and fight for righteousness in our land!

Speak the truth in all things!  We need more believers here in America speaking truth in the political arena too!  Don’t be afraid and don’t back down!  Stand up against the wickedness of the liberal agenda in our country and fight for righteousness!

“Fight the good fight of the faith.  Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called when you made your good confession in the presence of many witnesses.”

1 Timothy 6:12

Grace and peace to you all!

 

It was a beautiful weekend here in Colorado with temperatures in the 70s that felt like spring.  The kids had fun riding their bikes, and it was awesome soaking up the sun on the back deck.  We also had fun Saturday night watching our daughter perform in the County Middle School Honor Band as the first chair horn player.  It is very rare for a 6th grader to make the Honor Band and even more rare for that 6th grader to earn first chair!  You did great sweetheart and we are so proud of you!  It was definitely a great weekend and a very nice break from winter.  Living next to the Rockies can bring rapid changes in weather though, and on Monday we had Winter Storm Kade coming down from the high country.  Not too bad of a storm with only 6 inches of snow, but we had a 50 degree drop in temperature, which can be shocking to people new to Colorado.  For those of us who have lived here for many years, the storms are a normal part of our lives and we know how to get through them victoriously.

The life I live with Celiac is a lot like the extreme weather changes from living next to the Rockies.  Some weeks are fine and everything seems stable.  The sun is shining and the pain is managed.  The next week is a storm that brings violent drops in blood sugar, nausea, pain, loss of appetite, and fatigue.  Sometimes it is a struggle to press on.  I hear people complain about being sick for a couple weeks.  Can you imagine being chronically ill for 8 years with no end in sight?  I know some of you can and my heart and prayers are with you.

I have been struggling lately with the physical and emotional pain that this disease causes.  I have questions that I want answered that are not being answered.  I have questions about life and suffering that I need God to bring peace to.  Jesus alone is my victory, so I give it all to Him.

I am dying, very slowly, little by little every day as I fight a disease that is trying to starve me to death.  We are all dying and there is nothing any of us can do about it.  You are going to die someday.  I am going to die someday.  This is an inescapable fact.  We are trapped here in these earthly bodies and there is only one Way out.  I don’t understand why it has to be the way it is or why God chose to do it the way He did or why He did any of it at all when He knew how much suffering there would be, but I know His Word is Truth, Jesus Christ is Lord, and Jesus is the only Way to be saved and escape sin and death.  I know this because of the terrifying and wonderful supernatural events and miracles I have lived through, and I know it by the power of God inside of me by the Holy Spirit He gave me.

“Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life.  No one comes to the Father except through me.”

John 14:6

“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.”

Jesus speaking in John 3:16

Even in all my suffering and questions, I keep believing because the Lord is faithful and good and I know I can trust Him.  I don’t need to worry about storms from the Rockies or storms from Celiac Disease.  I am use to both, I’ve been through worse, and I know the Lord will see me through it.  Take some advice from a middle aged mountain man who has been through great suffering, you must set your face like flint against the storm and keep going!  God will use the storms to toughen you up and help you rely on Him by faith.

“Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear.  Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes?  Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them.  Are you not much more valuable than they?  Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?”

Jesus speaking in Matthew 6:25-27

If you are suffering today, please don’t give up.  Our questions will be answered and every tear will be wiped away.  Keep fighting and give it all to Jesus!  He will lift you up and sustain you!  Give the storm to the One who loves your soul and you will be amazed at what He can do in your life!  His strength is all the toughness you need to conquer the storm!

Grace and peace to you all!

Figured I would give a quick update and let you all know that I will be resting through the weekend.  I have been struggling through nausea and lost appetite.  I need a break from reading blogs and comments.  Those of you who know me understand that I have to rest and take care of my body at times due to Celiac and the damage it did to my small intestine.  That damage also caused Cachexia, which can be difficult to manage.  This is life with a chronic illness auto-immune disorder.  God is with me and He is good.  Thank you to everyone who left encouraging comments and offered prayers on my last post.  I will catch up with everyone Monday.  Have a blessed weekend!

If you would like to know more about Jesus and how you can be saved, please read the post below.  It is one of the most popular posts on my blog and it was my favorite post of 2019.  Jesus is Lord and only He can save you.  Let His love set you free!

Worth A Thousand Words

Thank you all for your prayers!  Please remember to pray for everyone who suffers.

Grace and peace to you all!

P.S.

If you would like to know more about Celiac Disease and help spread awareness through knowledge, please read my post:

Celiac Disease Awareness Month

Hello Everyone.  Hope all of you are doing well.  I have been taking a short break from writing the last couple of days to do some thinking and praying.  I have also been dealing with Celiac related issues that have taken away my appetite again recently.  I actually wasn’t quite sure if I was going to continue blogging here on WordPress or not, but it seems the Lord wants me to continue.  I am here to preach the Gospel and share my testimony and I must obey the Lord and press on.

I am tired today, so this will just be a short post with some photos I took last Friday, some Bible verses regarding the Gospel, and a couple links to my testimony.  The photos I took are of a huge flock of geese that flew over our house early Friday morning.  The first photo at the top is when they were flying east shortly after sunrise.  A couple hours later they all came back and flew over us again heading west.  There were several hundred of them or more and it was funny hearing them all honk.  We live at 6,115 feet, so they get pretty close to our roof top sometimes.  We have been enjoying a much warmer winter than last year, and the geese are loving it as much as we are.  It’s supposed to be almost 70 here by the weekend!

I took all these photos with my Canon PowerShot SX50 HS Camera.

God never ceases to amaze me with His creation!  I have always liked watching the geese fly over.  It’s so cool how they form that V shape.  Truly a wonder of God!

Here is a question for you.  Do you want to overcome the world and have eternal life?  I hope your answer is yes!  Let’s read how the Apostle John shared the Gospel and learn how you can overcome the world and go to Heaven.

“Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ is born of God, and everyone who loves the father loves his child as well.  This is how we know that we love the children of God: by loving God and carrying out his commands.  This is love for God: to obey his commands.  And his commands are not burdensome, for everyone born of God overcomes the world.  This is the victory that has overcome the world, even our faith.  Who is it that overcomes the world?  Only he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God.

This is the one who came by water and blood–Jesus Christ.  He did not come by water only, but by water and blood.  And it is the Spirit who testifies, because the Spirit is the truth.  For there are three that testify: the Spirit, the water and the blood; and the three are in agreement.  We accept man’s testimony, but God’s testimony is greater because it is the testimony of God, which he has given about his Son.  Anyone who believes in the Son of God has this testimony in his heart.  Anyone who does not believe God has made him out to be a liar, because he has not believed the testimony God has given about his Son.  And this is the testimony: God has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.  He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life.”

1 John 5:1-12

That is the pure beautiful truth of the Gospel.  God has given us His Son, Jesus, and all who believe in Him will have eternal life!  Your sins will be forgiven and you will stand reconciled before God!  That is the good news of the Gospel!

“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.”

Jesus speaking in John 3:16

“This righteousness from God comes through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe.  There is no difference, for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus.”

Romans 3:22-24

“For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.”

Romans 6:23

That is the most precious gift we could ever receive!  Please don’t reject it!  Jesus loves you and He died for you, so you could be forgiven and have eternal life!

“That if you confess with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.”

Romans 10:9

“For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith–and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God–not by works, so that no one can boast.”

Ephesians 2:8-9

If you would like to read my testimony of the supernatural way I came to know Jesus back in 1996, and the supernatural life I have lived following Jesus ever since, please check out the links below.  Jesus is my Lord and Savior and He rescued me and my family from the evil one!  I am not ashamed of Jesus.  Please understand the truth of the Gospel that you will only have eternal life through faith in Jesus.  He is the only One who died for the forgiveness of our sins and He is the only One who can save us from sin and death.  Jesus is Lord!

Remember that time when…

One Man’s Very Strange Supernatural Life

Grace and peace to you all!

Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life.  No one comes to the Father except through me.”

John 14:6

Hello Everyone.  Just wanted to give a quick update.  On Tuesday I wrote a post titled “Living By Faith” where I explained how my wife and I had to make some hard financial decisions last weekend.  It is an issue we have been praying about for months and I appreciate all of you who prayed for us.  God came through in a big way very fast and we are almost completely free of debt now!  The Lord answered our prayers better than all we could ask or imagine and we are so thankful!

The issue we were praying about was whether or not to sell my truck.  It was a 2012 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 LT 4×4 Z85 Heavy Duty (All Star Edition).  It only had 31,609 miles on it and it was in perfect condition.  I take very good care of my things, especially when it comes to my vehicles.  It was pristine inside and out and we owned it.

We decided to sell it, so I posted an ad on Craigslist on Monday night.  On Tuesday morning, while I was finishing writing the post “Living By Faith,” I received a text from a salesman at a dealership.  He told me they were very interested in my truck and they wanted to make an offer.  I was a bit guarded because I sold cars back in 2001 and dealerships don’t usually buy cars from private sellers.  In fact, that is very rare.  Usually they call a private seller because they hope to convince the seller to trade their vehicle towards a new car at their dealership.

I sold cars for one summer and got out of it quick because the management was dishonest and I refused to do the dirty deals they wanted me to do.  I proved to them I could sell cars honestly, but they didn’t care.  Not all dealerships are that way, but I keep a guarded heart because I know what the inside of the business can be like.

I let the salesman know that I sold cars in the past and explained that I knew dealerships don’t usually do that, but he was welcome to make an offer.  I sent him the VIN number and he surprisingly came back with an offer that was strong, but not quite good enough.  I countered $1,000 higher and told him if they could do that price, then we had a deal.

He told me he would talk with his manager and get back with me.  I really didn’t know what to expect.  It was already amazing enough getting a text from a dealership and it was even more amazing when he made me a strong offer.  I asked the Lord to bless it and said, “Your will be done Lord,” and waited.

An hour went by and then the salesman called me.  To his surprise and mine, his manager accepted my counter offer!  The deal was made and we agreed to meet Wednesday.  Turns out their dealership is one of just a few buying centers that has a partnership with Kelley Blue Book.  They are a family owned business and they only buy their pre-owned vehicles from private sellers with vehicles in excellent condition.

The dealership is in Golden about 30 minutes northwest of us.  It was a nerve wracking drive through thick I-25 and 6th Avenue traffic in Denver, but we made it there safely and they cut us a check as promised.  It was awesome and their honesty and professionalism was very refreshing!  God is so good and He always provides!

My Craigslist ad was only live for one night and one morning and the Lord brought the best possible buyer to us!  We were praying to be protected and for wisdom and discernment in who to sell it to because Craigslist can be dangerous.  You never know who is going to come to your house when selling a high value item.  Not only did God bring us a buyer, He brought us the safest buyer possible and we knew we would get paid legitimately.  We also sold it for the price we wanted at the top Blue Book value just like we prayed.  God orchestrated the whole thing and He blessed it big time!  Thank You Jesus!

“And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.”

Romans 8:28

Our kids had named my truck Thunder and we had some great family memories with it, but we would have had to trade or sell it in a few years anyway.  Our daughter will be driving in a few years, so we will need a smaller car for her.  We will most likely get a family sedan in the near future, but we will do just fine with one car for now.  It just feels really great to have all that debt paid off and it is a huge answer to our prayers!

I prayed that we would be debt free in 2020 and God did just that!  We were surrounded on all sides and time was running out, but He parted the seas for us and now we can move forward on dry land!  God can do anything and nothing is impossible for Him!  Keep praying, believing, and trusting!  God knows what we need and His timing is perfect!  His plans for our lives are far better than anything we could ever come up with on our own!  He will bless our faith in Jesus and we can trust that He is always working for our good!

“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”

Jeremiah 29:11

Grace and peace to you all!

 

The 4 day weekend is over and we are back at it today.  It was great spending time with my wife and kids.  It was also a bit of a serious weekend as my wife and I had to make some hard decisions regarding our finances.  We worked through the issues by God’s grace and we are living by faith.  The Lord is in control and we trust Him with all the details.  That is what believers in Jesus do.  We lift it up to Him and say Your will be done.

My wife doesn’t want me to share the private details of our finances, so I will honor her request.  We always appreciate your prayers.  The Lord knows what we need and He will provide.

I also wanted to say thank you to everyone who has supported me.  I know many of us don’t agree on certain things and I appreciate that most of you have never slandered me or sent me hateful messages, even if you disagree with me.  I love all people and I don’t care what color your skin is or what culture or nation you are from.  It is a great honor to have people from all over the world reading my blog.  There are even people from almost every country in the Middle East.  So far, there are people from 140 nations in the world visiting this blog.  May God bless, heal, and save every single one of you and may He bless all of our countries!  I love you all in Jesus’ Name!  Jesus loves you and He died for all of us!

I am humbled and honored that any of you would take the time to read what I write.  I appreciate the messages of encouragement and I enjoy chatting with everyone.  I know that sometimes I can be very passionate.  I do not want to be harsh and I do keep in my heart that I need to speak the truth in love with gentleness and respect.  I will always speak boldly with passion as that is who God made me and that is the fire of His Spirit inside me, but His gentleness is also inside me and there must be a balance.  I understand that.

It really is ridiculous for anybody to call me a racist.  They have no idea how I grew up.  They don’t know about the violence I encountered and the homies I rolled with.  They don’t know about true friendship and love.  My best friend in Middle School was black and I consider him my brother still to this day and I have great love for him.  We were so close that everyone called us Salt and Pepper.  I know what it’s like to have real friends who will back you up and even bleed for you if necessary.  I know what it’s like to have friends who will lay down their lives for you.

It’s not about skin color with me.  It’s about heart and character.  That’s what I care about.  Who are you inside?  Do you have integrity?  Do you hunger for righteousness or evil?  Are you trustworthy?  Are you filled with love or hate?  Your skin color is not going to tell me any of that.

Most of my friends growing up in Littleton, Colorado were black, Latino, or Native American.  I dated Latina girls and I ended up marrying a woman with Spanish heritage.  I also worked landscaping for many years working under the hot sun with the guys from Mexico.  I was out there doing everybody’s landscaping and golf courses and I spoke Spanish with the guys all day 40 hours per week.  They work very hard and I have great respect for those men.  I am very blessed to have worked with them and I will always remember their life stories.  Don’t ever tell me I am a racist.  People who are obsessed with race are the racists.  Divisions of the flesh come from the evil one.

The link below is to a post I wrote when I first started blogging back in 2018.  It is a story about how my friend Damien saved my life in Middle School when I was being choked out in the stairwell.  It also shows what I think about racism.

Salt and Pepper

Whether it comes to our finances or this blog or fighting Celiac or any other thing in my life, I am living by faith.  We don’t know what’s around the next corner, so we can’t walk by sight.  We must trust God and He will always make our paths straight!  The Lord is always faithful and He won’t let us down!

Grace and peace to you all!

“We live by faith, not by sight.”

2 Corinthians 5:7

“For in the gospel a righteousness from God is revealed, a righteousness that is by faith from first to last, just as it is written: “The righteous will live by faith.”

Romans 1:17

“Trust in the LORD with all your heart

and lean not on your own

understanding;

in all your ways acknowledge him,

and he will make your paths

straight.”

Proverbs 3:5-6

It has been a rough week and I am very thankful we have a 3 day weekend.  I have had many disagreements this week and I wrote several posts that were very strong.  People who have been reading my blog for a long time know that most of my posts are not political, but sometimes I do speak truth to power regarding political issues.  I am moving forward from the issue I have been talking about the last few days, and today I just want to leave you with a verse and a prayer.

Today is a new day the Lord has made full of possibilities!  God is in control of this day and He has been since before the beginning of time!  Today is a fresh start full of hope!  We have breath in our lungs and we are alive!  May we make it count and make the most of every opportunity God has given us!  May we rejoice and be glad!

“This is the day the Lord has made;

let us rejoice and be glad in it.”

Psalm 118:24

“Lord Jesus, please encourage our hearts and deliver us from evil.  Lift us up and fill our hearts with Your joy!  Make Your love increase and overflow in our hearts for each other and for everyone else, and may we please You in everything we do.  May Your will be done, Lord, amen!”

Have a blessed and peaceful weekend!

Grace and peace to you all!

Sometimes we have strong disagreements with people.  Sometimes there are even strong disagreements between Christian brothers.  After following Jesus since 1996, I can tell you it is a normal and healthy part of the Christian walk.  Disagreements can reveal a person’s heart and what they believe and sometimes those disagreements are so strong that we have to part ways.  We even see this in God’s Word among the disciples.  Even as we disagree, we are still brothers in Christ and reconciliation is always possible.

I recently had such a strong disagreement with a brother that I parted ways with him.  I want to be clear that I have no fellowship with someone who claims to be my brother in Christ, but then turns around and writes a post accusing American Christian conservatives of being racist, xenophobic, misogynistic, and fear mongering because we support Trump and believe in protecting our country that we love.  Don’t claim to be politically neutral acting like you are advocating for reconciliation, then in the same post spew the same divisive liberal lies and accusations we here from liberals every day in our country.  Give me a break, that’s called hypocrisy!  You can’t say, “Hey, I mean no disrespect or anything, but just so you know, you’re a racist.”  Ridiculous!  Oh no, you didn’t intend to be offensive.  Because pointing your finger at a fellow brother in Christ and accusing him of being racist couldn’t possibly be offensive, right?

Of course those accusations are meant to be disrespectful and offensive!  They are the same vicious lies we hear everyday from the anti-American liberals who hate Trump, Christians, and our country!  Those lies are designed to whip up hate against us!  Why would a brother in Christ want to spread such lies?!

My advice to every blogger out there is this:  If you are not American, you probably shouldn’t be talking about American politics.  Furthermore, if you don’t like being challenged by American Christian conservatives after writing a disparaging post about American Christian conservatives, then my advice would be to not write posts accusing American Christian conservatives of being racist, xenophobic, misogynist, and fear mongering.  If you write a post like that full of those lies, you will be challenged.  People outside our country don’t understand the fight we are in and you have no idea how truly evil the liberal agenda is and how badly they want to destroy our country.  We are fighting for the very soul of our nation!

This is not about Republican versus Democrat anymore.  We are well past that!  This is about freedom versus tyranny!  This is about righteousness versus evil!  Socialism has and always will be a bridge to tyranny and that is exactly what the liberals want!

Just look at what is happening in Virginia with their globalist traitor Governor trying to take their guns by passing illegal laws (with the help of Bloomberg’s money) in violation of the Second Amendment!  The liberals are trying to destroy our Constitution and make us slaves in their new world order!  Bloomberg tried to pull the same schemes against our guns here in Colorado and our Sheriffs stood with the people and shut it down!  Only tyrants want to disarm the people!

The Sheriffs are our last line of defense against tyrannical politicians.  Liberals would do well to remember that we also have the right to form a Constitutional militia and fight back anytime tyrants try to enslave us, and that is a fight liberals will lose badly.  You just try us and you’ll be sorry.  You will regret the day you tested the resolve of American patriots and you will find out just how hot the fire of freedom burns within us!

Liberals have stirred up so much hatred and violence in our country that they cause actual violent attacks on American Patriots in the streets!  If it’s a Civil War they want, believe me, I am ready to rack a mag and fight for my country anytime, and I have the training to back it up!  Those violent socialist Antifa thugs don’t scare me!  That pathetic liberal proxy-army will be taken down in the first wave!  They are real lucky we have been very patient in our non-violent stance as we work through the political process.

I am ready and so are the millions of my Patriot brothers and sisters that stand with me!  Even if only 3% of us stand up and fight, it will be enough!  Yes, I am a 3%er and I have the patch on my American militia uniform that I will wear if I am ever called to defend my country against enemies foreign or domestic.  I have two words for all the socialist liberal traitors who want to take our guns and our freedom: Molon Labe!

I don’t understand why any Christian would believe the lies of the God hating leftist Democrats and then use those same lies against another brother in Christ.  I forgive my brother for his ignorant hateful words based on the ignorant hateful lies the liberals spread around the world.  Just like I said in my post, “Don’t Fear Conflict,” Trump is not racist and neither are the American patriots who support him.  I am not racist, I am not xenophobic, I am not a misogynist, and I am not fear mongering, and neither is Trump.  Those are very strong accusations and a person, especially a brother in Christ, better be very careful about how he judges, especially judging another brother in Christ.  Nobody has any basis to call me a racist or any of those things just because I love my country and believe that love always protects just like the Bible says.

Just like Paul, I am parting ways with that brother.  Maybe someday we will once again share fellowship and be reconciled like Paul and Mark and I pray we can.  For now, I don’t want to read anything written by someone who falsely accuses American Christians of racism, xenophobia, misogyny, or fear mongering.  It really does blow my mind that a believer in Christ would believe the same hateful lies of the liberal media!  Does the Holy Spirit not show you it is false?  Does the Holy Spirit not show you how evil they are?!  If you believe in Jesus, don’t go around spouting the evil lies of the liberals!  Give me a break!  If you do spout those lies, you might want to check yourself to see if you are even in the faith.

“They had such a sharp disagreement that they parted company.  Barnabas took Mark and sailed for Cyprus, but Paul chose Silas and left, commended by the brothers to the grace of the Lord.”

Acts 15:39

So, there you have it.  If you are not American, it’s probably best to stay out of our politics, especially if you don’t want to be challenged by Americans about it.  If you are a believer in Christ that believes liberal lies, it’s time to turn off the liberal dominated news and do some praying.  Ask the Lord to reveal the truth to you about the leftist liberal agenda.  Don’t tell me you are a Christian and then tell me you are a liberal too.  Those are not compatible.  You can’t tell me you love Jesus and then tell me you agree with murdering babies, the gay agenda, and atheistic socialism.  Good luck explaining that to God.

Don’t go pointing your finger at me calling me a racist.  Go look in the mirror and get that big liberal plank out of your eye.  Christian Democrat?  What an oxymoron!  What a joke!

The Democrats kicked God out of their party and all they support is sin and death!  The Kennedy Democrats are long gone folks.  Now it is the party of socialist violence and immorality!  The party of killing babies after birth, the gay agenda, which even includes pedophilia, and the party of tearing down our Constitution and our borders!  That is literally all they run on; hating America, sin, and death!  I pray God smites their wicked agenda and I’ll be here to fight them every step of the way!

If you hate Americans, Christians, American Christian conservatives, or America, you will not like talking with me.  I love Jesus Christ with all my heart and I love my country with all my heart and I am willing to lay down my life for both!  I am a Christian American Patriot and I believe in and stand up for God’s Word and the Constitution of these great United States!  If you come at me with lies about God, His Word, Christians, my country, or any other lies, I will cut down your lies with the truth.  I will stand up boldly and I won’t back down.  I don’t fear man and I am not here to please man.  I fear God and I am here to please Him!

I am here by God’s calling to preach the truth of the Gospel and God’s Word to the world and that is what I will continue to do for the glory of God.  Nobody is going to get in my way or stop me.  I will just wipe the dust off my feet and keep moving forward.

“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.”

Jesus speaking in John 3:16

“And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent his Son to be the Savior of the world.”

1 John 4:14

Grace and peace to you all!
