The Battle is Larger Than You Think
This is a longer read than most posts of its nature. The body below is 1,448 words long. I suggest printing it out, finding your favorite place to site, and read it through in one sitting. It carries more than one thought that might hand you some game changers in your quest for some answers in todays Obama-ish America.
I have always counted Friday as part of my weekend. So, I write this offering in hopes that you will at least purpose to read this over the weekend. Again, print it out, set it somewhere appropriate, and read it every time you visit that seat.
EDITOR
My view comes from a
summary of the daily reads to which I subject myself six days a week (I don't
want to head to church on Sunday mornings with my head filled with the
exasperating problems on a global scale when I'm attempting to hit my weekly,
spiritual reset button). And, today it seems that everyone is talking about
three main topics;
- The growth of Conservatives in Congress, but lacking
real change in results
- Waning American Morals
- A Leftist Media that must follow its agenda or die
trying
I can add or change this
short list to really narrow down the problem but it still doesn't address the
root issue;
- A Leftist Media that must follow its agenda or die
trying
- Cowardice in the Judges Seat
My unlearned opinion is
that all of our major issues can boil down to these two facts; 1) Our society
no longer knows what is going on in our society; the Truth is buried 7 days a
week by our lying media, 2) Judges who have the authority, power and responsibility
to fix America, won't.
The "S" word
This being stated, we
still are not talking about the root cause. And here's where America's Press,
even the conservative media upon
whom we on the Right have come to rely like Sirs Limbaugh, Hannity, Drudge and
Fox News, NewsMax and many others, are left in the dust scratching their
collective heads because they dare not broach the real cause and fix, even if
they happen to stumble upon it by accident.
The cause of all of our
national and global woes is Sin in the church house, and in the home, pure and
simple; the willful abandonment collectively and refusal personally of God's
commandments and requirements for a fulfilling and righteous life on this
planet.
Our Conservative media
can't expose this one all-consuming cause because they feel that they would
lose any shred of credibility with -- uh -- uh -- with whom? With whom does the
Media Right have credibility?
I'll answer that for
you; they have loads of credibility with us; those on the Right who largely
believe in The Bible, transparency, truth and honesty. And furthermore, are
looking for solutions to large and difficult problems.
Why do we so appreciate
Rush Limbaugh? It certainly is NOT for his entertainment value, nor his morals
or personal habits. He smokes cigars, drinks liqueur, makes off color jokes
about sex and women, and has been divorced three times and married four. So,
no, it ain't his morals.
It's because at the time
of its Earth shaking release upon an unsuspecting Leftist-Media-In-Power in
1988, The Rush Limbaugh Program was the only
source releasing Truth at large and on an arguably even footprint volume wise
as the main stream media.
"Honest people living in a vacuum of truth are starving for
it."
It's all about rebel
truth telling. Honest people living in a vacuum of truth are starving for it.
It's all about the truth.
The Conservative media
tries to give us the truth on a limited diet; limited because every time they
deliver the truth to us, they are also exposing their contempt for the Left
media. And even though they are trying to be honest, they still hate to be
hated; especially by other media professionals who are looked upon by pop
culture as the Media Elite.
Limited also because I
believe they partially buy into the incorrect assumption that talking about
God, Bible, Sin, The Enemy (Satan) robs them of credibility, because they
recognize the contempt for God that pop culture currently carries, mostly
created by and fire-fanned by the Leftist media; the vicious circle of catch 22
circles-within-circles that muddies the waters of Truth telling.
Doing right has its own
rewards. And thank God that everything does NOT rise and fall on what the media
elite and Washington D.C. has for breakfast every morning. We can, each of us
choose what we will do each day regardless of what we did yesterday, last week
or last year.
Why is it that individuals
doing the right thing have so much more power than large groups of tens of
thousands of voters doing the right thing? The answer is because those larger
groups would not exist without individuals; but, more importantly because God's
Word says so.
God speaks to the
individuals who make up the larger groups. Look at
2 Chronicles 7:14
King
James Version (KJV)
14 If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble
themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then
will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.
"My
people."
Now, I'm going to
suggest something that worldly, purest Bible scholars and those who think they
are, will argue with. Regardless, it needs to be said.
When this portion of The
Bible was penned, "... my people..." meant the nation of Israel. But,
what other group can be more appropriately attributed to this passage than
"Christians"?
I am a Christian and
therefore I am a part of "... my people ..." by adoption
through my acceptance of Christ as my savior and His death and resurrection in
payment for my sin. But, I am also a part of the group called "... my
people ..." directly because my earthly father was a Jew. So by birth, I
also can claim responsibility for carrying out God's commands as well as
enjoying the benefits of His promises. (Yes, I am fully aware that the Hebrew
familial predominance has traditionally been only through the maternal blood.
But I speak of genetics, not property rights.)
So, when did this Bible
verse written to Jews and Christians become null and void? When did any part of
The Bible cease to be relevant? Answer that question and you will learn more
about yourself than virtually any other Truth.
Do you believe God's
Word? If you do, then you are an honest person living in a truth vacuum,
starving for truth.
The Fix-all
Believing God's Word is
a personal thing with wide ranging results.
Example; why does it often
appear that all of the dishonest media seem to have so many common articles and
news stories in their outlets without having a regular daily meeting, let alone
a Monday morning meeting? How can they stay so well synchronized most of the
time without direct communication with each other; almost like they are getting
orders from a higher power?
No, it's not The White
House we have to worry about.
Ephesians 6:12
King
James Version (KJV)
12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against
principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this
world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
We do have a common
enemy. He's real, powerful and hides near the highest levels of human power and
authority. His influence can be seen in all of the major news stories that
serve a common agenda that hates Christ and Christians, Truth and
Righteousness, Honesty and Discernment.
If this is not true,
then how would you better describe the manifestation and evidence of a real
enemy being in control of the strings from the top?
But, we can rest easier
every night knowing that we do not have to fight directly against The Enemy,
nor worry about the end of the bigger picture because we know that also. The
Fix for everything is too direct in theory and too difficult in execution to be
attempted by human effort alone. So, it is with daily fortitude and unfailing
prayer that we ask God for the strength and guidance to daily execute Goodness;
His Goodness. Doing what God says daily,
in our personal lives leads to the collective substance of what made America
great.
"America is great
because America is good. If America ceases to be good, America will cease to be
great." 1833 Alexis deTocqeville or those summarizing his thoughts.
Obama is doing his best
to rob America of our goodness under the guise of a religiously antiseptic
agenda that idolizes the murderous mission of Islam, while inhibiting the
freedom of Christianity. We see it almost daily in his actions and the result
of his influence globally.
Each of us can't battle
him physically for a number of real reasons. But each of us can go to battle
against him and his god in an arena in which he has no clue how to fight. In a
sense, we can lawfully and legally cheat in this game of real warfare because
we have the Master on our side. The master who built the game board, all the
players and authored the unchangeable rules.
