Words To Heed Today



Pro 3:21 My son, do not let wisdom and understanding out of your sight, preserve sound judgment and discretion;

Pro 3:22 they will be life for you, an ornament to grace your neck.

Within this current world of chaos, there is much confusion going on in the minds of individuals, groups, media, Hollywood, public schools, colleges, universities; and especially within government.

Some of the confusion is deliberate.  See my former post.   But then, there are people who are totally ignorant of what is going on behind the scenes.  There are those who approve of the evil and chaos, simply because they crave money, power, influence, prestige, re-election; and in some cases, they blatantly and obviously enjoy causing harm to the masses.  But those who can't see or hear the evil  (or cover their eyes and ears purposely so they don't have to deal with it) keep living their lives unredeemed as the cesspool swirls all around them - which is all to their detriment in the end.

There was a popular song back in the 70's (I think) where the lyrics described life as a "ball of confusion."  When I looked back at the lyrics, I was surprised to see that the Temptations were against gun control! 

Many of the lyrics can be applied more today than even back in the 70's!

And it seems,
Nobody is interested in learnin'
But the teacher
Segregation, determination, demonstration,
Integration, aggravation,
Humiliation, obligation to our nation
Ball of Confusion
That's what the world is today

The sale of pills are at an all time high
Young folks walk around with
Their heads in the sky
Cities aflame in the summer time
And, the beat goes on

Air pollution, revolution, gun control,
Sound of soul
Shootin' rockets to the moon
Kids growin' up too soon
Politicians say more taxes will
Solve everything
And the band played on
So round 'n' round 'n' round we go
Where the world's headed, nobody knows
Just a Ball of Confusion
Oh yea, that's what the wold is today

Fear in the air, tension everywhere
Unemployment rising fast,

[...]

It is interesting to note that the Temptations knew where true love is shared.  They don't necessarily mention the Bible, but they did write:

Vote for me, and I'll set you free
Rap on brother, rap on
Well, the only person talkin'
'Bout love thy brother is the preacher


In Dr. David Jeremiah's book called Moments With God On Route 66, he discusses avoiding roadblocks in life and knowing the way - the true way according to God's Word.


Confusion

Modern life can be confusing. There are many things that used to be called "evil" that are now called "good." And many things that used to be called "good" are now called "evil"---or at the very least, they are called "narrow-minded," "intolerant," "prejudiced," or "old fashioned."

But such confusion is not new. God once warned the Israelites, through the prophet Isaiah, about the same thing. "Woe to those, " God said, "who call evil good and good evil; who put darkness for light, and light for darkness; who put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter" (Isaiah 5:20). Ancient words that we should heed today.

Pray for discernment on the road to new life.

2013 NDAA Law Allows Obama to Take Over All Media




Another bad law that the media of disinformation won't provide to the sheeple is the one that allows Obama to take over all media. Never heard about this? I'm not surprised. Those who only get their so-called "news" from the alphabet soup BADministration propaganda machine will not learn of this. It's all by design, people! There are those who are fighting back against this rage of the O machine. Fox News often puts up a fight, but even they won't go so far as to tell the truth about Zero's 100% fake B.C.! Oh I know...the "birther" issue again. However, when fraud is detected, discovered and proven, we have an additional crime at hand!

LAW ENFORCEMENT AGREES

SHERIFF ARPAIO: IT'S FELONY FRAUD
SHERIFF MACK: IT'S A FAKE, A FRAUD, A LIE!
POLICE CHIEF KESSLER: IT'S FORGED AND THERE'S A MEDIA BLACKOUT
COURT-CERTIFIED FRAUD EXAMINER: IT'S ENTIRELY FABRICATED
Hat tip:  Commieblaster.com



But let's get back to the topic at hand, shall we?

If this doesn't get the hair on the back of your neck to stand up, probably nothing will!


WND: New law 'allows Obama to take over all media' 'Your government is acting in open, undeclared, but blatant treason'

Excerpt:


An online radio host is sounding the alarm over a brand-new law he claims grants the federal government massive new powers to saturate Americans with domestic propaganda at U.S. taxpayer expense
.
“This law allows the federal government to have sweeping power to push television, radio, newspaper and social-media propaganda onto the U.S. public,” warns Michael Evans of America’s Voice Now.

“It removes protection for Americans from the ideological diarrhea that will pour forth from this administration like ejected vomit.”


Evans is referring to the Smith-Mundt Modernization Act of 2012, sponsored by Rep. Mac Thornberry, R-Texas, and Rep. Adam Smith, D- Wash., which was inserted into the 2013 National Defense Authorization Act.

According to John Hudson of Foreign Policy Magazine, “For decades, a so-called anti-propaganda law prevented the U.S. government’s mammoth broadcasting arm from delivering programming to American audiences. But on July 2, that came silently to an end with the implementation of a new reform passed in January. The result: an unleashing of thousands of hours per week of government-funded radio and TV programs for domestic U.S. consumption in a reform initially criticized as a green light for U.S. domestic propaganda efforts.”

The U.S. government has been in the business of broadcasting news and opinions into foreign countries through such famous outlets as the Voice of America, Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty, and the Middle East Broadcasting Networks
.
But now, critics believe millions of dollars will be spent by the government trying to influence citizens within its own borders.

Evans says America has been protected from this over the years for good reason
.
“The types of information that we promulgate overseas to foreigners is disinformation. It is meant to confuse, distract, redirect. It is not meant to be an informative source of news,” he explained.
 
“Don’t misunderstand what I’m saying. There is already, for all intents and purposes, an organization in the United States that does this. It’s called MSNBC, NBC, ABC, CBS, CNN, Fox News. They are an arm of propaganda. But if you think things were bad before with those groups, wait till you see what’s gonna come out of them now. They’ll be reporting government misinformation as factual news stories, and a gullible American public will swallow it hook, line and sinker.”

“Disinformation” is real, and it’s intended to destroy the West. See the secret strategy in the brand-new book and DVD

The bill itself states: “The Secretary and the Broadcasting Board of Governors are authorized to use funds appropriated or otherwise made available for public diplomacy information programs to provide for the preparation, dissemination, and use of information intended for foreign audiences abroad about the United States, its people, and its policies, through press, publications, radio, motion pictures, the Internet, and other information media, including social media, and through information centers, instructors, and other direct or indirect means of communication. …
It also notes: “No funds authorized to be appropriated to the Department of State or the Broadcasting Board of Governors shall be used to influence public opinion in the United States.”
Yet there’s also a provision indicating produced material can be used inside the U.S., stating: “Nothing in this section shall be construed to prohibit the Department of State or the Broadcasting Board of Governors from engaging in any medium or form of communication, either directly or indirectly, because a United States domestic audience is or may be thereby exposed to program material, or based on a presumption of such exposure. Such material may be made available within the United States and disseminated … .”

Evans took special note about the funds “appropriated or otherwise made available.”
“It doesn’t open a door. It doesn’t open a window,” he explains. “It opens a wall that will allow NGOs, non-governmental organizations, who have a globalist ideology and a globalist agenda, to fund this type of abuse.”

Because the measure is so new, Evans says America hasn’t even begun to see its effects yet.
 
“All this nonsense about the Department of Justice organizing, participating and assisting in Trayvon Martin reprisal rallies – that’s exactly what you’re gonna get, and you’re gonna get it by a landslide. You haven’t even begun to smell the danger of this one yet, people. And here’s the worst part. You’ll never know if what you’re hearing is true news or propaganda. So the idea that there can be a news media that can inform the American public is forever gone. You’ll never know going forward if this is propaganda or if this is a news story.”

He continued: “The low-information, vast majority of America, the people who are willing to accept whatever is basically poured into their ears, will be so inundated with disinformation, they will never even be aware that they’re being played, that they are being used, that they are pawns for manipulation to achieve government’s nefarious ends. And I do mean nefarious because only a government who had evil intent would attempt to utilize a tactic like this.”

Evans is even breaking out the “T-word,” calling the measure “treason.”

“When you violate your oath and you work against the best interests of your nation willfully, knowingly, with malice aforethought, ladies and gentlemen, that qualifies as treason. I’m telling you now that your government is acting in open, undeclared, but blatant treason,” he said.
He also believes Americans will actually be paying for the propaganda used on them.

“The idea that you are willing to pay for your own demise through taxpayer-funded boondoggles like this and many others is an unconscionable use of the taxing authority,” Evans said.

*******

Similarly to ObamaCare Hellscare, the effects of this additional terrible "law" will gradually (and horribly) be felt by the people. 

Recall how the TEA Party Patriots protested at hundreds of venues across the United States back in 2009, warning how BAD the Stealthcare law would be?  Now, even some of the union bosses who originally supported it are outraged by "what's in the bill!!"   Recall when Nancy PeLIARsi stupidly stated, "we need to pass the bill to see what's in it."  That kind of liberal/socialist/commie foolish drivel is what gets our nation into BIG trouble!

Need an example of the propaganda machine at work?  How about a brave soul who is now countering the Rolling Stone glorification of the Boston Bomber terrorist, and ended up losing his job because of it?


Legal Insurrection: Mass. State Trooper Releases Tsarnaev Capture Photos in Response to Rolling Stone Cover.

If you think for one minute that the Rolling Stone cover photo wasn't approved by the BHO BADministration, then you have your head in the sand!

Over at College Insurrection, we have dueling professors - some telling the truth and other using propaganda doublespeak:

Journalism Profs examine Rolling Stone’s “Jahar” cover.


Doublespeak example:

“The role of media is to inform and provide context for events. To the extent that this story gives us more information about this horrible tragedy, it is valuable,” he says via e-mail, adding that hopefully stories like these will only improve our understanding of what went wrong here so future incidents like these can be avoided. “Choking off or censoring stories like these is not the solution to the problem, nor does it help us move forward as a society,” Professor Tatge adds.


Truthful example:

But comparisons to magazine covers featuring such historical evil-doers as Osama bin Laden miss the mark, suggests Brian Heffron, a former journalist and now Boston public relations professional.


“This feels very different than, say, a cover story of bin Laden in Time,” he says, adding that whether it is the style of the photo or the simple fact that it’s on Rolling Stone, “it seems to glorify this alleged terrorist. The magazine seems to be romanticizing him as a James Dean rebel and not profiling a mass murderer.”

*******




God's Word always shines through the darkness of this fallen world.  Being aware of it will save you the trouble of trying to figure out the truth from the lie.



Mark Hillyard:

God uses people to do the things He has in mind. This passage comes to mind: 11 "And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: 12That they all might be damned (judged) who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness."


*******

truthtalker:

God didn't wring his hands when Obama won the election in 2008 nor in 2012. In fact, he not only allowed it to be so, he even ordained it to be so.

Daniel chapter 4, relates the story of Nebuchadnezzar's pride and arrogance and how GOD dealt with him.to prove who was really in control.

verse 17...Nebuchadnezzar quotes the watcher from heaven who told him God determines who rules the kingdoms of men
.
Verse 25... The prophet Daniel tells Nebuchadnezzar the same thing. That God is about to prove who determines the rulers of men.

Verse 32... The watcher of heaven declares the same thing to Nebuchadnezzar.

God purposed that Obama would be in office for the same reason that he had Samuel anoint Saul king of Israel. The people did not want to be under Gods rule. They wanted a king like the nations around them. They rejected God. And God told Samuel the same thing. They have not rejected you Samuel... They have rejected me.

Likewise has America rejected God. Open homosexuality and lesbianism... open murder of innocent unborn children, drunkenness, depravity, adultery, lying for any reason but especially in the name of political expediency, divorce, not to mention an arrogant pride that rejects God and his word.

He gave America a president that reflects the wickedness of the nation.

Focus On Christ, and Truth, During Post-Trial Frenzy

During this frenzied time of  post-trial madness, it can be overwhelmingly frustrating to see all of the unwarranted propaganda being spewed by so many who want to keep such  spiteful hate going on here in America.  At least some of us see right through such schemes.

People, my hope remains in my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ!  No matter what bizarre things are occurring out in the world, He is MY world.  Jesus told us that he "is not of this world."  As followers of Christ, WE are not of this world either.

Why?

Jhn 14:27 “Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.

Jhn 15:19 “If you were of the world, the world would love its own. Yet because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you.

Jhn 17:14 “I have given them Your word; and the world has hated them because they are not of the world, just as I am not of the world.

Jhn 17:16 “They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world.

Jhn 18:36 Jesus answered, “My kingdom is not of this world. If My kingdom were of this world, My servants would fight, so that I should not be delivered to the Jews; but now My kingdom is not from here.”


Those that hate Christians hated Christ first!!  As Jesus said in the verse above, "If you were of the world, the world would love its own.  Yet because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore, the world hates you.

My dear Christian brothers and sisters, if the world hates you, then you are in good company...the company of Jesus Christ our Lord!

I think that this explains why secularists, Marxists, atheists, race-baiters, and particularly Islamists can all  "coexist" together in one big soup of evil.  They all hated Christ first, and therefore, hate us second.

One comment made by George Zimmerman during an interview he had done made me think that he is a Christian.  He had learned that his action of self-defense against his attacker ended up being a gun shot wound that tragically killed Trayvon Martin.  He stated that it was a "sin" to kill someone.  He felt that way because of the Ten Commandments.  However, in the case of self-defense, where it was a live or die situation when Martin said those very words to him (You're gonna die [expletive]); in such a case as that,  shooting in self-defense is not a sin.  Zimmerman obviously felt remorse that the teen died.  But that is lost on the rabidly vicious media pundits, individuals, and groups that are claiming "we all are Trayvon."  Well, at least one author was brave enough to tell the truth about it all:


Slate.com: You Are Not Trayvon Martin His death wasn’t about race, guns, or your pet issue. It was about misjudgment and overreaction—exactly what we’re doing now to the verdict.


This morning, there was a segment on Fox News where the discussion was about the Rolling Stone magazine putting the living Boston Bomber on the cover.  Apparently, it is a sympathetic article about him.  But ask yourself, why would they do that?  Why are they siding with a radical terrorist who purposely killed and maimed so many people? 

And why is the media of mass deception continuing to stir up trouble, interviewing  people who spew racism when it's not warranted, and sympathize with those who hurl death threats at George Zimmerman?

My question:  Why isn't Attorney General Eric Holder investigating all of the death threats against George Zimmerman?  What is wrong with this picture, people???

The TV audience was "trained" to feel sorry for the girl who reluctantly (supposedly) testified at the Zimmerman hearing.  I think that we all had sympathy for her concerning her obvious lack of education.  However, when she appeared on MSNBC recently, does this sound like an individual who wanted to stay out of the public eye due to embarrassment? She only put herself into deeper trouble and even more embarrassment!

Excerpt:


Prosecution witness Rachel Jeantel, whose testimony hurt the state’s case against George Zimmerman according to a juror, continued the damage Monday night in a CNN interview, apparently acknowledging that Trayvon Martin was beating George Zimmerman before he was shot and presenting conflicting interpretations of the term for which she will forever be associated, “creepy a– cracka.”

In an interview with CNN’s Piers Morgan, Jeantel insisted that Zimmerman and the jury didn’t have the cultural awareness to understand that Martin wasn’t giving the defendant a “bashing” but merely a “whoop-a–,” Breitbart News noted.

Jeantel, who was on the phone with Martin shortly before he was shot by Zimmerman Feb. 26, 2012, explained: “They don’t understand, they understand, ‘Oh, he would just bash, or was kill.’ When somebody bash somebody, like, blood, people, trust me, in the area I live, that’s not bashing. That’s just called “whoop-ass.” You just got your ass whooped. That’s what it is.’

Hear the first report of Trayvon’s “homophobic slur,” in Molotov Mitchell’s “For the Record.”
Breitbart’s Joel Pollack noted Morgan tried to save Jeantel’s statement by asking her whether Martin would have “whooped a–” in self-defense, but the damage was done. The camera, he pointed out, caught a member of the audience reacting in shock at Jeantel’s admission.

Zimmerman was acquitted Saturday night by a six-member, all-female jury in Sanford, Fla. The news has been followed by protests nationwide and a call for a civil rights investigation by the Justice Department.

In the interview, Jeantel also expounded on Martin’s alleged use of the term “creepy a–cracka” to describe Zimmerman but gave two different definitions.

At one point, she suggested it meant somebody acting as a police officer, which fit the prosecution’s portrayal of Zimmerman as an overly zealous cop-wannabe.

But she also used the term to describe a homosexual rapist:
MORGAN: You felt that there was no doubt in your mind from what Trayvon was telling you on the phone about the creepy ass cracka and so on, that he absolutely believed that George Zimmerman, this man, you didn’t know who he was at the time, but this man, was pursuing him?

JEANTEL: Yes.

MORGAN: And he was freaked out by it?

JEANTEL: Yes. Definitely after I say may be a rapist, for every boy, for every man, every — who’s not that kind of way, seeing a grown man following them, would they be creep out?

“And people need to understand, he didn’t want that creepy ass cracker going to his father or girlfriend’s house to go get — mind you, his little brother was there. You know — now, mind you, I told you — I told Trayvon it might have been a rapist.”

Did that sound like someone who was "reluctantly put on the stand" at the trial or more likely a plant being portrayed sympathetically on purpose...who is now being told what to say?

Now...you tell me.  If she was a white Christian woman who disparaged a black man, policemen,  and homosexuals, do you think that Piers Morgan would have gone berserk?  Of course he would have!  But in this case, the sympathetic voice of a young black woman who testified for prosecution  (even though she actually ended up helping the defenses' case!) ends up giving her a pass on the insults.

There are hundreds of comments after that article, but one caught my eye and I'm sharing it here:

I  read many and I mean MANY reviews / comments on here. None of you
truly understand the real issues we face. The republican party work hand
and hand with the exact people you are all complaining about. Do you
not understand this is done for ONE reason? The reason is simple keep us
divided into Race / Religion issues! Black vs White / Christian vs
Muslim / Innocent vs Guilty ! They do this to keep our attention away
from what is REALLY going on! The fact is the United States of America
does NOT print it's own money! We have to borrow money from the Federal
Reserve! WHAT IS THE FEDERAL RESERVE EXACTLY? It's all the answers to
all the things you never got taught in your life it's the reason why we
are divided! 11 private banking families OWN the FED they control 80% of
the worlds printed "FAKE" "WORTHLESS" money! Why do we have wars? So
these same people who own the FED can take control of the other 20% of
the world money they don't currently print! You all think your so smart
with all your little comments you act like you understand the world NONE
of the comments I have seen here show any of REAL knowledge about why
these stories are so important for the media to talk about. They can't
afford for you all to wake up and start really learning things! Keep
them FIGHTING !!!!! Keep you glued to the TV to your social media
connection FEED those morons another reason to divide! That will keep
them all sleeping like a baby. Once you learn who the FED really is and
who the real players all it honestly becomes very simple to align the
dots. You take the BLUE PILL and find out how deep this rabbit hole
really is. You will understand that the movie the matrix wasn't a movie
it was a real thing where you all have been living and learning exactly
what you were suppose to like a good SHEEP! That's what you all happen
to be SHEEP sleeping away the truth ! Hope you wake up soon!


Millions of Americans must be thinking the same thing!  Keeping this "trial" going, even though it has ended with the CORRECT VERDICT is being done INTENTIONALLY (led by corrupt ring leaders like Eric Holder, Al Sharpton, and Jesse Jackson) in order to keep the focus off of all the scandals.

1.  Benghazi
2.  IRS
3.  NSA
4.  Targeting of Rosen of Fox News
5.  Guns killed more people as result of Fast and Furious scandal.
6.  BHO's birth certificate is verified as 100% forgery.

I could probably keep that list going for a mile!  But these are the most recent scandals THAT ARE NOT BEING INVESTIGATED AND PROSECUTED!!

So you see, dear readers, this is all being done by design.  It is MONEY, POWER, AND CORRUPTION that keeps the Zero BADministration going.  ANYTHING AND ANYONE who can keep the focus off of the GENUINE CRIMES going on, are being used to block the truth from coming out!


The individuals and groups that are doing these things are exchanging the truth for a lie:

Rom 1:28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a debased mind, to do those things which are not fitting;

Rom 1:29 being filled with all unrighteousness, sexual immorality,[fn] wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil-mindedness; they are whisperers,

Rom 1:30 backbiters, haters of God, violent, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,

Rom 1:31 undiscerning, untrustworthy, unloving, unforgiving,[fn] unmerciful;

Rom 1:32 who, knowing the righteous judgment of God, that those who practice such things are deserving of death, not only do the same but also approve of those who practice them.


The book of Jude informs us that these things will increase the closer we get to the end times.


 
Scripture tells us why true believers are those who know and believe that Jesus was sent by the Father.  In Jesus' prayer to His Father, he informs us:



Jhn 17:5 “And now, O Father, glorify Me together with Yourself, with the glory which I had with You before the world was.

Jhn 17:11 “Now I am no longer in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to You. Holy Father, keep through Your name those whom You have given Me,[fn] that they may be one as We are.

Jhn 17:21 “that they all may be one, as You, Father, are in Me, and I in You; that they also may be one in Us, that the world may believe that You sent Me.

Jhn 17:24 “Father, I desire that they also whom You gave Me may be with Me where I am, that they may behold My glory which You have given Me; for You loved Me before the foundation of the world.

Jhn 17:25 “O righteous Father! The world has not known You, but I have known You; and these have known that You sent Me.

God's Route 66

Moments With God on Route 66, 230+ Moments with God in one beautiful book...Request Yours!
Moments With God on Route 66, 230+ Moments with God in one beautiful book...Request Yours!
Moments With God on Route 66

Many years ago, I was a teacher at an elementary school back east.  For about 2 1/2 years, I taught physical education, health and safety for grades K-5.  Part of the safety curriculum included a Disney created cartoon series starring the little character of Jiminy Cricket who would begin each safety message singing:

"Oh...I'm no fool, no sirree, I want to live to be 93!  I play safe for you and me 'cause I'm no fool."

Of course, those films dealt with physical and mental safety; and how not being foolish with our every day activities can help us avoid injury or even death.  But there is also a need within our souls to realize that avoidance of moral, emotional and spiritual foolishness is equally, if not even more important!

I thought of these films today while reading a little book called "Moments With God On Route 66" by Dr. David Jeremiah.

On the page discussing the virtues of  "counsel," Dr. Jeremiah writes:

"We hear the words "fool" and "foolish" often enough that it is easy to lose sight of their true meaning."

But before I continue with the message, I wanted to explain what this particular book is all about.

On the back cover, we find out:

There are not many people left who can say, "I got my kicks on Route 66!"  But between 1926 and 1984, U. S. Highway (Route) 66 was America's "Mother Road" --2,448 miles of asphalt stretching from Chicago to Los Angeles.  The sections of Route 66 that are left today are unmarked, known only to the locals.  But for decades many Americans dreamed about motoring west on Route 66.  And if they couldn't make the drive, they did it vicariously through the Route 66 hit TV show that aired from 1960-1964.

God has given us His own Route 66 that stretches from your front door to the doorway of heaven--the 66 books of the Bible.  And since 2007, Pastor David Jeremiah has been airing one-minute insights into God's Route 66 on radio stations across the nation.  In Moments With God on Route 66 you will find 230 of the best of the nearly 1,400 Route 66 spots aired through 2012.  Just like the Bible there is something in these short devotionals for everyone, seekers and saints alike.

So take a short drive on God's Route 66 every day.  You'll find His divine highway will keep you focused and moving faithfully toward your heavenly home!

I was young when that show aired, so I don't remember much about it.   But I do recall hearing that it was a very popular series at the time for young adults.  If you are interested in learning more, read a recent article at AV Club: Why the mostly forgotten Route 66 was one of TV’s most ambitious shows. The article includes a few film clips too.

One sentence from the article intrigued me and I'd like to view the episode:

The series even featured future stars in smaller parts, as when Ed Asner played a young Jewish boy’s father, who later died and kicked off a crisis of faith in the boy.


Getting back to the subject of counsel.

There are many Bible verses discussing and warning about "the way of the fool."   We would be wise to heed such warnings.

Dr. Jeremiah continues:

A verse in the Book of Proverbs makes it clear: "The way of a fool is right in his own eyes." In other words, a fool is a person who refuses to heed the moral advice of those who are wiser. A fool does what he wants in spite of the pain it causes him and others.

From the Bible's perspective, the fool is a person who refuses to listen to God's counsel or warnings. But the wise person is the one who submits his reasoning to God.

Accept direction on the road to new life.

Discover God's thoughts...on Route 66.

The Hidden Agenda of the Zimmerman Arrest

The following link is to a very long article, but it is well worth reading in order to understand what was actually going on behind the scenes (and either oblivious to the media or they were ordered not to share any investigative material about it all) during the entire Trayvon Martin/George Zimmerman fiasco.

The Conservative Treehouse.com: A Nation of George Zimmermans Awakened – Understand The Fraud – Post Verdict of Acquittal ….


I learned A LOT that I wasn't previously aware of from that post! However, I DO recall hearing this statement:

“We are not asking that he [Zimmerman] be convicted; We are asking that he be arrested.”

-Benjamin Crump Esq. Attorney for Tracy Martin and Sybrina Fuller (Quoted to Piers Morgan on 4/3/2012)


*******

The moment that I heard that statement (which was quoted over a year ago) I thought that it was a very odd one!   Does it sound like a strange comment to you, too?

The article continues:

And there you have it, the ulterior motive, the hidden agenda:
 
MONEY !


The Trayvon family is not seeking justice in the form you would think. No, they are seeking monetary justice, or more directly monetary gain. THAT is the motivation; and the absence of an “arrest” is what stands between them and their ability to sue in civil court”.

Live By Faith or Human Reasoning?


Ordinary People, Extraordinary Faith

Today's message on Turning Point Television is one that is desperately needed for this time in history.  Too many people don't know what it means to be "an ordinary person with extraordinary faith."   Many people don't know Jesus Christ and haven't studied the Bible.  They live by human reasoning alone and thus make the mistake of continuing to live in the prison of sin and not being reconciled back unto God for all eternity.

 Dr. David Jeremiah discusses the critical point of  the knowledge of good vs. evil.  In the story of Cain and Abel, one chose faith while the other did not.

A verdict has been returned in Florida v. Zimmerman. At present the parties are being called back into session, after which the jury will be brought into the courtroom to read the verdict. The verdict form is here. Watch live with Legal Insurrection on one of the two video streams below, as well as in [...]

What are your thoughts about the verdict?

Was justice served?

*******


My thoughts?  This was a self-defense case for Mr. Zimmerman who was attacked by this young black man (who was bigger than the defendant) who didn't go home when he had the chance but returned to confront Zimmerman, attack him, beat him, slam his head on the pavement,  and tell him, "you are going to die tonight [expletive]."  Zimmerman didn't have any choice but to shoot this person in order to get him off of him and save himself from further beatings; especially when the attacker said that he wanted to kill him.

BTW, have you ever heard about the following case?

So...what do we say to those who wanted Zimmerman convicted?  Well, at this point I think that a little humor might be needed:

Then again, there are those who just won't accept the verdict and won't let it go.  Zimmerman will most likely remain in fear (with good reason!) for his life because...

Of course, we have the typical "Zimmerman must be a 'crazy-ass cracker'  attitude and reaction" from the likes of Al Sharpton:

The Blaze.com: Al Sharpton: ‘This Is An Atrocity…a Slap in the Face to Those That Believe in Justice’

Excerpt:

Rev. Al Sharpton reacted to the George Zimmerman not guilty verdict by calling it an “atrocity” and “a slap in the face to those that believe in justice in this country.”
 
“I think that this is an atrocity, I think that it is, it is probably one of the worst situations that I have seen,” Sharpton said. “What this jury has done is establish a precedent that when you are young and fit a certain profile, you could be committing no crime, just bringing some Skittles and iced tea home to your brother and be killed and someone can claim self-defense, having been exposed with all kinds of lies, all kinds of inconsistencies.”
 
“We had to march to even get a trial and even at trial, when he’s exposed over and over again as a liar, he is acquitted. This is a sad day in the country. I think that we clearly must move on to the next step in terms of the federal government and in terms of the civil courts. Clearly we want people to be disciplined and strategic, but this is a slap in the face to those that believe in justice in this country,” he said.
Folks...this isn't over (unfortunately). Sharpton went on to say:
Sharpton also posted this statement:
“The acquittal of George Zimmerman is a slap in the face to the American people but it is only the first round in the pursuit of justice. We intend to ask the Department of Justice to move forward as they did in the Rodney King case and we will closely monitor the civil case against Mr. Zimmerman. I will convene an emergency call with preachers tonight to discuss next steps and I intend to head to Florida in the next few days.”
So...Mr Sharpton. Where's the justice in THIS case???

Janet Napolitano Resigns!

Just heard about this on the Fox News Channel (7/12/13 at 7:12 am PT).  Apparently, she is taking a job at a university.

When I heard this, my second thought was that Barry should resign too!

The Weekly Standard has a report up about Napolitano's resignation:

Excerpt:

Reuters reports Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano will resign today:

Reuters Insider ✔ @ReutersInsider Government source says U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano set to resign today (Friday). @Reuters 6:59 AM - 12 Jul 2013


The Los Angeles Times has more:
Janet Napolitano, the U.S. secretary of Homeland Security and former governor of Arizona, is being named as the next president of the University of California system, in an unusual choice that brings a national-level politician to a position usually held by an academic. Her appointment also means the 10-campus system will be headed by a woman for the first time in its 145-year history.

Napolitano’s nomination by a committee of UC regents came after a secretive process that insiders said focused on her early as a high-profile, although untraditional, candidate who has led large public agencies and shown a strong interest in improving education.
UC officials believe that her Cabinet experiences –- which include helping to lead responses to hurricanes and tornadoes and overseeing some anti-terrorism measures -- will help UC administer its federal energy and nuclear weapons labs and aid its federally funded research in medicine and other areas.

I always thought that she was unqualified for the position of Homeland Security Secretary.   Plus the fact that she lied about the Fast and Furious scandal which resulted in the deaths of several border patrol agents!

 Maybe she will be better at this new job [NOT!]

Next, we will see who Obummer picks to replaces her.  However, I still hope that Zero will be replaced soon since the long form "birth certificate" has been analyzed and exposed as a complete forgery!

Commieblaster has the story:

LAW ENFORCEMENT AGREES

SHERIFF ARPAIO: IT'S FELONY FRAUD
SHERIFF MACK: IT'S A FAKE, A FRAUD, A LIE!
POLICE CHIEF KESSLER: IT'S FORGED AND THERE'S A MEDIA BLACKOUT

Liberals Can't Be Reasonable Re: Abortion




Moments ago (July 10, 2013 at 7:35 a.m. PT) Martha McCallum of the Fox News Channel asked a simple question.  "Do you think it is reasonable to limit abortions to before five months of pregnancy?" 

Look at the World Dictionary definition of the term "reasonable":


World English Dictionary reasonable (ˈriːzənəb ə l) — adj 1. showing reason or sound judgment 2. having the ability to reason 3. having modest or moderate expectations; not making unfair demands 4. moderate in price; not expensive 5. fair; average: reasonable weather


Also, look at the synonyms list:
Synonyms 1. intelligent, judicious, wise, equitable. Reasonable, rational refer to the faculty of reasoning. Rational can refer to the reasoning faculty itself or to something derived from that faculty: rational powers; a rational analysis. It can also mean sane or sensible: She was no longer rational; a rational plan. Reasonable most often means sensible: A reasonable supposition is one which appeals to our common sense. 2. equitable, fair, just.


 

While discussing the Texas bill that would put restrictions on late term abortions, Martha posed that question ( "Do you think it is reasonable to limit abortions to before five months of pregnancy?") to her two guests - Sandy Rios (a pro-life conservative Christian) and Jehmu Greene(who once called Tucker Carlson "a bow tying white boy") - an obviously radical, pro-abortion liberal. As usual, the sparks started to fly within the discussion. It was a question that Jehmu refused to answer, thus, by the end of the segment Martha surmised that her answer was "no."

Have you ever noticed that Hillary Clinton's once popular statement - that abortions should be "legal, rare and safe" never comes up anymore?  If the Kermit Gosnell case (as well as others [warning:  very sad, sickening, and graphic information] that go unreported) doesn't show how UNSAFE and ILLEGAL some abortion doctors are in practice, then nothing else on this earth could.

As Sandy Rios said "yes" to Martha's question - that it is reasonable to limit abortion to before five months of pregnancy - and then began to state her opinions on the subject, Jehmu constantly interrupted her so that Sandy's points would be drowned out.  That is the way of the progressives.  Shut up those with whom they disagree by spewing the same old tired rhetoric that is quite typical of the hard heart mentality of the pro-murder-of-babies-in-the-womb-crowd advocates.

When Sandy Rios brought up the Kermit Gosnell case where he was convicted of murdering babies born alive after a botched abortion, Jehmu's interruptions became louder and louder.

I hope that the segment will be included in the Fox News video library so that I can link to it and readers here will be able to see and hear what transpired.

Lastly, why do you think that Jehmu Greene could not bring herself to state that limiting abortions to before 5 months of pregnancy is reasonable in one state where elected officials choose to pass such legislation?  Is "choice" only a one-sided issue to people like her?

Jehmu Greene would not even address the clinic of horrors where Kermit Gosnell committed serious crimes (including the death of one woman that he killed as a result of an abortion procedure) and only saw fit to be rabidly impolite and talk over Sandy Rios during the discussion.  Despicable...

A Health Warning Plus Dietary Suggestions

There is an important article that contains some bad news regarding the filth and unhealthy conditions at a certain restaurant over at the Natural News.com Site.



Excerpt:

(NaturalNews) Shocking photos posted on the internet claim to show behind-the-scenes filth at a Golden Corral restaurant. The photos appear to show filthy dishes stacked nearly head-high, with food waste littering the floor right next to beverage service carts. Three employees are clearly depicted in the photos, and they appear to be wearing uniforms consistent with those worn by Golden Corral employees.

The photos (see below) also show overflowing trash cans and food refuse so thick that employees are walking all over it while mountains of filthy dishes appear to be ready to collapse onto the floor.

All photos are shown  [HERE].

Adding to the apparent filth, a young man who claims to be a Golden Corral employee has posted a shocking video that he says shows Golden Corral hiding fresh meat near dumpsters while the restaurant undergoes an inspection. Once the inspection is over, he explains, the food will be carted back into the restaurant and served up to hungry customers (but without all the flies).



So gross!

 I have gotten sick at several different restaurants in the past and when I do end up sick, I NEVER GO BACK!

 I have not eaten at any "Golden Corral" restaurants and now that I've seen the filth and unsanitary conditions there, I never will!

When I see incidents like this, I don't feel confident about eating out at restaurants!

As long as we are on the subject of health issues, I must share that having digestive issues later in life [those of us in the 50+ crowd],  seems to be a common ailment.   Two discoveries of what to avoid have helped me tremendously!

First, about five years ago I learned that I was "lactose intolerant." (LT)  I have heard that this can be hereditary in nature, but it also seems to develop more often in women (rather than men) later on in life.  There are statistics out there that claim that over 50% of women (in particular) over the age of 50 become lactose intolerant!

I look for items in the health food grocery stores [e.g. Sprouts] that are designated as "lactose free."  I love ice cream, but the only one that I have found so far that is designated as "lactose free" is Breyers vanilla.  There are many soy and almond ice cream substitutes, and some of them are really good!  But my favorite is the Breyers lactose free vanilla (with chocolate syrup on top)!

I was drinking a lot of soy milk when I first discovered that I was LT, but switched to Lactaid milk.  FYI - once opened, soy milk and Lactaid milk should be consumed within seven days.

When I'm out at a restaurant, I try to choose items on the menu that don't contain any dairy products.  However, if I'm not sure (or, I decide to have a little butter on the bread), I take a Lactase enzyme supplement.  My favorite brand is Enzymedica "Lacto" which prevents bloating, is complete digestive support, and aids in cheese and milk digestion.  It is vegan and kosher, and contains plant based enzymes.  The label claims that it is the #1 selling enzyme brand.  It sells for @ $20.00 for 30 capsules at Sprouts stores, but I usually stock up when they have their 25% off sales!

Several months ago, I still was not feeling right in my digestive tract.  Admittedly, I used to love cake, brownies, pie etc., but decided that maybe I should try to cut down drastically on the sweets and also try eating a gluten-free diet to see if I would feel better.  I could see the difference almost immediately, but after one week I knew that gluten-free eating was for me!  Another positive result was that I dropped four pounds!

Natural food stores have the greatest selection of gluten-free products.  I switched out my cereals, breads, and occasional "sweets" for whatever I could find in each aisle that were labeled "gluten-free." 

I'm not an expert on this issue, so further research might be a good idea.  However, when I asked a friend about where the gluten additives (they are in MANY products!) came from, she informed me that years ago, manufacturers started adding the "chaff" from the wheat that had been previously thrown out before using the wheat in breads cereals, and other food items! 

It dawned on me that the Bible uses the analogy of "separating the wheat from the chaff" **for a reason!  Supposedly, manufacturers use the chaff in their products now to keep costs down while achieving larger quantity production of their products.  I ask, at what cost does this come to the health of individuals?

When I find myself eating a product that has gluten in it (which I try hard not to do!), Enzymedica also has a supplement called "GlutenEase" with DPP-IV Activity for Gluten and Casein digestion.  It contains high potency DPP-IV, and provides additional support when eating foods that contain gluten or casein.  If I recall correctly, the bottle that I bought cost @ $27.00 for 60 capsules.

Of course, you may want to consult your physician before taking any supplements. 

When I consulted with my doctor and found out that I have osteo-arthritis, she recommended a diet called "The Mohrdar Diet" which was designed to help with easing inflammation.  But I hated the fact that it recommended giving up shellfish!  I love shrimp, crab, and lobster!  However, eliminating beef from my diet did help ease my digestive problems because beef is always difficult to digest.  Lamb is easier to digest so I have that at least 3 times per month.  I eat chicken, turkey, fish, and lamb for protein.

Buying gluten-free products is more expensive.  But to me - it's well worth the health benefits!  Many gluten-free breads can be found in the refrigerated and/or frozen food sections of the store.  Keeping them refrigerated after opening at home helps keep them fresh longer, too.

Questions and/or comments are welcome!  I can always learn more!

Stay healthy!

~  Christine

**Bible verses discussing "wheat" and "chaff."

Jer 23:28  “The prophet who has a dream, let him tell a dream; And he who has My word, let him speak My word faithfully. What is the chaff to the wheat?” says the LORD.

Mat 3:12   “His winnowing fan is in His hand, and He will thoroughly clean out His threshing floor, and gather His wheat into the barn; but He will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.”

Luk 3:17   “His winnowing fan is in His hand, and He will thoroughly clean out His threshing floor, and gather the wheat into His barn; but the chaff He will burn with unquenchable fire.”

Giving Us Life



Okay all of you Bible students and scholars out there; I've got an important question for you!  I might be setting myself up for trouble by asking this question...but here goes.  Since Adam and Eve "walked with God" in the Garden of Eden, wouldn't that mean that they already knew about what is good?  If correct, then wouldn't it follow that the action of "eating of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil" meant that they chose to disobey God in order to learn evil and how it is the opposite of good? 

I once read a book where the author mentioned that "evil" is "live" written backwards.

Jesus often talked about giving us life - a new life in Him.


Rom 8:11 But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you.

Jhn 6:27 “Do not labor for the food which perishes, but for the food which endures to everlasting life, which the Son of Man will give you, because God the Father has set His seal on Him.”

Jhn 17:1 Jesus spoke these words, lifted up His eyes to heaven, and said: “Father, the hour has come. Glorify Your Son, that Your Son also may glorify You,

Jhn 17:2 “as You have given Him authority over all flesh, that He should[fn] give eternal life to as many as You have given Him.

Jhn 17:3 “And this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent.
 
I urge all to read the entirety of John 17!


Satan offers the opposite of life - especially when we consider where and how a person will spend his or her life in eternity.

Jesus told us about Satan's schemes as they were recorded in the Bible throughout his 3 year ministry on earth.  The following verse contains the warning of three active words that represent Satan's intentions against God and His creation, "to steal, to kill, and destroy."

John 10:10
“The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.

First, the enemy of our souls comes to steal. Then, he takes it further with the intention to kill.  What's more, he comes to destroy. What does he attempt to destroy? All that is good that comes from God!  Therefore, those who think that the freedom to sin is profitable to them have their priorities seriously wrong and twisted!

Wonderfully, Jesus doesn't end the verse with what the "thief" intends to do.  He informs us that his purpose is to "come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly."

John 17 (NKJV)

Jesus Prays for Himself
 
Jesus spoke these words, lifted up His eyes to heaven, and said: “Father, the hour has come. Glorify Your Son, that Your Son also may glorify You, as You have given Him authority over all flesh, that He should [fn] give eternal life to as many as You have given Him. And this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent. I have glorified You on the earth. I have finished the work which You have given Me to do. And now, O Father, glorify Me together with Yourself, with the glory which I had with You before the world was.
 
Jesus Prays for His Disciples
 
“I have manifested Your name to the men whom You have given Me out of the world. They were Yours, You gave them to Me, and they have kept Your word. Now they have known that all things which You have given Me are from You. For I have given to them the words which You have given Me; and they have received them, and have known surely that I came forth from You; and they have believed that You sent Me.
 
“I pray for them. I do not pray for the world but for those whom You have given Me, for they are Yours. 10 And all Mine are Yours, and Yours are Mine, and I am glorified in them. 11 Now I am no longer in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to You. Holy Father, keep through Your name those whom You have given Me, [fn] that they may be one as We are. 12 While I was with them in the world, [fn] I kept them in Your name. Those whom You gave Me I have kept; [fn] and none of them is lost except the son of perdition, that the Scripture might be fulfilled. 13 But now I come to You, and these things I speak in the world, that they may have My joy fulfilled in themselves. 14 I have given them Your word; and the world has hated them because they are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. 15 I do not pray that You should take them out of the world, but that You should keep them from the evil one. 16 They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. 17 Sanctify them by Your truth. Your word is truth. 18 As You sent Me into the world, I also have sent them into the world. 19 And for their sakes I sanctify Myself, that they also may be sanctified by the truth.
 
Jesus Prays for All Believers
 
20 “I do not pray for these alone, but also for those who will [fn] believe in Me through their word; 21 that they all may be one, as You, Father, are in Me, and I in You; that they also may be one in Us, that the world may believe that You sent Me. 22 And the glory which You gave Me I have given them, that they may be one just as We are one: 23 I in them, and You in Me; that they may be made perfect in one, and that the world may know that You have sent Me, and have loved them as You have loved Me.
24 “Father, I desire that they also whom You gave Me may be with Me where I am, that they may behold My glory which You have given Me; for You loved Me before the foundation of the world. 25 O righteous Father! The world has not known You, but I have known You; and these have known that You sent Me. 26 And I have declared to them Your name, and will declare it, that the love with which You loved Me may be in them, and I in them.”
