The Beginning of Healing

Image
By

 Denial often causes an extended period of time before change or healing can occur. We have an issue in America with denial and we must speak openly of our problems if we are to heal.

We will discuss our first problem today: denying the undisputable evidence that we have a founding based upon Christian principles and ideals. While it is true that some founders may have been considered deists, the vast majority were, at the least, believers in the Christian God.  Some were stronger in their faith than others. Jefferson, it seems, wanted the public to view him as a follower as he knew the deep roots of faith in our young country. Over and over again, Madison, Jefferson, Adams, Franklin and plenty more refer to the Creator or God that we know, that millenniums of people have known as the Holy One, our Father. This not to say that America was founded as a theocracy. Absolutely not. Madison himself said that, and I paraphrase here, "the state shouldn't infect the church." So much for our interpretation of "separation of church and state". The morals and guidelines found in our beloved Scripture can do nothing but help an individual, a community, and nation. We must admit that we are fighting against our founding and then embrace the spirit of our founding in a strong guiding principle of God and his will. This is not theocracy. It is an admission that God's divine will wants us to see him only as King, and then behave in matters of government and charity as He would have us do. God's people, and I don't mean those who call themselves God's for political expediency, have always done the most for their community and the world at large. This will never change as that is the duty of the church. Christ understands that not all will be submissive to his will, but to actively fight His will and to deny the obvious providence at hand will lead to ruin for any people; theocracy, democracy, constitutional Republic, it matters not.

Later we discuss more.

Trump and Jesus

By
If you haven't heard, in the latest conspiracy rumors, Trump is part of God's plan to usher in Christ and His thousand year reign. Or something like that. First, let's be clear, seeing as how we don't know when He's coming back, one will be hard pressed to say Trump has anything to do with Jesus' return. Trump being a sign of His return is pressing way beyond any knowledge that we have from the scripture.  The return of Christ is often discussed and often debated, throwing Trump into the mix just makes it more convoluted. People sell many books tying this to that and that to this with the end result being confusion and fat pockets.  God uses what He wills for His will; there will be no end to that. Guessing the inner workings of His will is a futile attempt, not to mention can cause us to have the scripture say something that it doesn't. We have some pretty stern warnings against that.  Please, if you support Trump, fine. Leave Jesus out of that and give Him...

Quick Hits #2

By
Trump Wins New Hampshire.      Donald Trump easily takes New Hampshire from Nikki Haley, although the race was much closer than Iowa. While this gives Trump great advantage, South Carolina may be a closer race than one thinks. Trump has recently been ordered to pay $83 million to E. Jean Carroll in a defamation suit. Wither we believe the charges and such against Trump are true or false, the hits keep coming. At what point will the "straw that breaks the camels back" fall? At what point do we realize that Trump cannot win the general election? Will it be after a November loss? Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is polling at  20% in some political areas. We need to understand that Kennedy is a Democrat who believes that the DNC, and the "woke" citizens, have lost their minds. Even running as an Independent, Kennedy could win. He will pull votes from Trump and many from Biden. He needs to be taken seriously and the GOP needs to take a long hard look, before the South Carolina pr...

Progressivism

By
Theodore Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson, Library of Congress Yes, Ol' Teddy and Woodrow were progressives. Progressivism is a political and social ideology that advocates for reform and improvement of society through governmental action, most accurately, government force . Progressives seek to address the underlying causes of social issues and support modernization, scientific and technological improvements, and changes in the political system to better represent the people’s interests. Check my link page! Core Principles: Social Progress : The belief in the ability and duty to improve society and the lives of its citizens, often through coercive reform. Equality : Progressives aim to reduce economic, racial, and gender disparities through targeted reforms. Equality in outcome rather than equality in possibility. Democracy : Enthusiastic support for making the political process more transparent and increasing public participation in government. This is often communicated as ...
