Election 2012, mile marker 37!

I expected Barak Obama to get re-elected!  I am sorely disappointed in the voters in this country.  "The god of this world, Satan, blinds the minds of unbelievers," the Apostle Paul said to us in Ephesians.  You find Ephesians in a book called the Bible.  Have you ever seen or read one?

Unless their is a wholesale Biblical spiritual revival in the USA, we are headed straight into the judgment of God!  We have become God's enemy.

Obama has turned his back on the Jews and favors the Arabs.

Obama supports homosexuality and lesbianism, sternly forbidden in Scripture.

Obama promotes big government and socialism, unconstitutional.

Obama doesn't have time to meet with the Prime Minister of Israel but at the drop of the hat shows up on the liberal and ungodly David Letterman show.

Obama is no Commander in Chief he is a campaigner in chief.

Obama is the peoples choice because they don't know any better.  We are a post christian nation and this election just confirmed we are accelerating towards destruction.  Donald Trump said the Chinese say we are being run by dummies.  I agree!

Mile Marker #35, Valentines Day!

  The HEART!  The Bible says, "guard your heart with all diligence, for out of it are the issues of life", Prov. 14:23.

Isaiah said. "The heart is deceitful and desperately sick above all else, who can know it?  The next verse says, "I the Lord test the hearts...".
Jesus said, "It is not what you eat that defiles you but what comes out of your mouth.  For out of the heart comes evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, and slander," Matt.15:19.

In Mark 7:21 Jesus added, "coveting, wickedness, deceit, sensuality, envy, pride, foolishness."

Paul had lists of these Lusts of the Flesh also.  "Strife, jealousy, tempers, disputes, gossip, arrogance, disturbances, impurity, and immorality," II Cor. 12:19.  "Idolatry, sorcery, enmities, dissensions, factions, drunkenness, and carousing," in Gal. 5:19.  "Passion, evil desire, greed, wrath, malice, abusive speech, slander, lying," Paul added in Col. 3:5-9.

Peter joined the listing also, "malice, guile, hypocrisy, envy, slander," in 1 Peter 2:1, and sensuality, lusts, drunkenness, carousing, drinking parties, idolatries, and dissipation" in 1 Pet. 4:1-4.

Jude got in on it also, "licentious, immorality, homosexuality, bestiality, rejecting authority, revelers, unreasoning, grumblers, fault finders, arrogant, flattering, mockers, causing divisions."

Paul had another list in Ephesians 4, "sensuality, greed, impurity, lying, stealing, filthy mouth, bitterness, wrath, anger, clamor, slander, malice, immorality, silly talk, and coarse jesting."

And finally, Jesus, after His resurrection, added, "Cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and liars," Rev. 21:8.

Paul said, "put off the old man and put on the new man."  He said, "If any man is in Christ he is a new creature, the old things have passed away, behold, all things have become new", II Cor. 5:17.  He also said, " I have been co-crucified with Christ.  It is no longer I who live but the Divine Nature now lives with in me," Gal. 2:20.  The minute a person places saving faith in Jesus and repents towards God, he is killed and born again at the same time.  Jesus told Nicodemus except a man be born again from above he can't even see the kingdom of heaven," John 3:3.  Romans 6:1 says we died to sin.  We should live in sin no longer.  Paul said let him who steals steal no longer but let him work.  If a man does not work, neither let him eat.  That's Gods welfare program for the unwilling capable.

Some refer to our 'flesh' as 'sin nature'.  Paul says sin is a law that lives in our body or flesh.  It is utter depravity.  The Greek word for 'flesh' is 'sarx' and means body or 'meat'.  The Carnal Christian or the unsaved try to remedy this problem by turning over a new leaf, trying harder, working, good works, learning, etc..  These solutions won't work.  They aren't God's solution.  Like Hitler's Mein Kampf, Paul had his struggle.  We all do.  Every human alive has this struggle.  At 53 years of age I found God's solution.  I got saved at 22 years of age, went on to get 2 degrees at a Bible College, and still didn't know the final and only solution to mankind's sin problem.  It took me 31 years to find it.  Do you know what it is?  I'm not going to tell you now.

Christians don't have a sin nature any longer.  Paul said in Romans 8:9, we are no longer in the flesh.  We are no longer in the 'sin nature'.  Or call God a liar.  Col. 2:11 says our 'sin nature' has been surgically amputated by God's own invisible hands.  Amazing.  If you don't know and believe this truth you are a Galationist.  You are a flesh fixer-upper.  A flesh perfecter. I call it a 'pig washer'.  I was one for 31 years.  Pathetic.  Unbelief leaves you in a quagmire of confusion.  Jesus said "the truth is what will set you free", John 8:32.

It's true, I'm crazy, or I'm lying?  You figure it out for yourself.  I can't make you believe.  Remember, "Without faith it is impossible to please God,"  Heb. 11:6.

Mile Marker #34, Republican Presidential Candidates?

Is this the best we can do, Newt Gengrich and Mitt Romney?  Two losers.  Two liberals in conservative clothing.  Two unsaved men.  Mitt is a Mormon, sorry, Mormons aren't Christians,  They believe a bunch of  heresies like Jesus and the devil are brothers, and they accept extra-Biblical revelation, the book of Mormon, which Jesus himself forbid in the book of Revelation.

Gengrigh promotes the New Apostolic Reformation.  He is a New Ag-er, a Communitarian.  He is aligned with the new Religious Right such as Rick Warren.  Their gospel is a Glen Beck type of lets just be good and do good and keep the 10 commandments and pull together and play nice and this will fix the world.  Apparently these people haven't  heard of the New Testament and the age of Grace we are already in.  Problem is, those of us who are born again spend so much time carnal and backslid and following the world we don't make a strong case for God's saving grace.  I'm as big of offender as any.  Too bad God doesn't let us live until the first time we loose our first love and then kill us.  Most of us wouldn't live very long.  I would have made it about 3 years.  Three years is about the average before we cool off.  D.L. Moody put it best.  he said we are all 'cracked pots'.  We 'leak'.  He said, "The only way to keep a cracked pot full is by keeping it under the faucet."

Here is another way to put it.  Do you spend 20 minutes watching TV each week?  Each week!  I spend 20 minutes 9 times a day a lot of times.  Well then, how do you expect to remain close to the Lord?  Your pastor has you for only 20 minutes on Sunday.  He can't compete with all your carnal programing from TV and its lust shows, drinking, nakedness, worldly music, advertisements promoting envy, lust, and dissatisfaction with everything you have including your wife, house, car, location, lifestyle. clothes, and on and on and on.  Let alone all the carnal radio stations, country, rock, new age, head banger, heavy metal, and what all.

How did I get off on this 'rant'?  Anyway, garbage in---garbage out.  How much time do we spend singing spiritual songs?  How much time do we spend memorizing Scripture?  How much time do we spend in prayer?  How much time do we spend helping others?  How much time do we spend in fellowship with other Christians?  I'm preaching to myself as well.

Paul said the counterfeit, the anti-Christ, the man of sin, would not be revealed until after the real church departs from the truth.  He called it the Apostasy.  Well, we are in the state of Apostasy right now.  This means the church is full of false doctrine and practice.  And we don't stop living in sin.  Paul said in the last days we would,  "hold to a form of godliness but deny its power".  That means we will still go to church and keep our sin as well.

We ordain homosexuals, gamble in our gas stations, let alone casinos and going to Vegas, we ordain women, we turn charity over to the Government, and on and on.

The general population of the United States is so worldly, carnal, and spiritually dumb, we might just get Obama 4 more years.  We will be economically ruined by then.  Bush wasn't a lot better.  He was in with the multinational crowd and the lobbyists and money moguls as well.  It seems God won't allow a real Christian, Patriot, Statesman, to rise to the top.  Ron Paul is in the neighborhood but his spiritual 'take' sucks.  Mitch Daniels, the present Governor of Indiana would be the most fantastic candidate of our time.  What is he waiting for.  Michelle Bachman would have been fantastic but nobody realized it and wouldn't vote for her.  It is a sigh of how sick our country is.  We are backslid en to the point of our own destruction.

One other rant.  I would like to inform all the presidential candidates and the last several presidents, they aren't running to be president of America.  The are running to be president of the United States of America.  We are the United States.  They aren't running Canada, Mexico, Central America or South America.  We aren't really as big a fish as we think we are.  Our Military is only the strongest in the world because God has allowed us to be so.  God can and will remove sovereignty if  He reaches His puking point.

And I would like to inform Barack Obama the United States isn't a Democracy,, we are a Democratic Republic.  "I pledge allegiance to the flag of The United States if America, and to the Republic for which it stands..."  not, "and to the Democracy" for which it stands.

And while I'm at it, we have 3 branches of government.  Like a 3 legged stool.  Congress and the Senate make Law.  The Supreme Court decides yes or no whether they have been violated or not, and the Commander and Chief executes the punishment of lawbreakers foreign and domestic.

Congress and Senate spend their time lining their own pockets and those who buy them off.  Judges legislate from the bench and do what Congress is supposed to do.  And the President runs around like he is a god, Czar, a Caesar, like a dictator, a know it all, solve it all, run it all.  I'm sick of all of them.

To top it all off, we have a nation full of lazy fat drunken gluttons who want the Government to tax to death anybody who dare work and generate a profit because they are "entitled" to handouts.  My Bible says if a man doesn't work, he doesn't get to sit down to the dinner table.  He can just starve to death.  That is literally what the Bible says.  Unless you don't think we are to take the Bible literally.  Then you are part of the problem also.
