Like the LORD who created us, we are totally unique individuals with a desire to embrace love and share goodness to everyone. Sadly, complacency, apathy and fear have led some persons to turn to the dark side of spiritual life. As you have surmised, we must recognize this fact and fight it with all of our power. Remember Edmund Burke's prescient observation just prior to our own Revolution, "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing". Seek His Will in prayer and act upon achieving its purpose to save this nation from the evil determined to destroy it and us! Bob
I agree, Glenn, only I don't share your optimism. At this point I am happy that I am old and won't have to put up with all the b.s. that is being shoveled at us from every governmental entity that thinks it can get away with it.
Yes, I agree with you. I am German and it is unbelievable how this country changed in the last 18 months. People do not question anything the government orders them to do, they obey. People who peacefully protested were beaten up from the police like in 1935. Doctors who questioned the "virus policy" of the government got a "nice" visit from the police at 3 o´clock at night and their house was searched like thy were criminals. Yes, things like this happened. It is so hard to understand that people did not learn anything from their past. And it will not get better. The next step will be the green hoax and people will gladly obey. No question asked. I will be glad when I get out of here.
Thank you for your response. Yes, it is such a shame that people are being cheerleaders for government take over. I love Germany. I so want to visit again, but not if vaccine passports are required and not if I will be treated like a second class citizen.
Thank you! Yes, yes, and yes! I agree in general with Barbara and Zuzana also but I have had to focus on what is true, honest, just, pure, lovely, and of good report. I have been aware of issues politically, legally, socially, etc but I have been called to ‘live local’ as a favorite current philosopher Jarrin Jackson says. He agrees with these perspectives on the issues, but we cannot sit back and wait for a knight in shining armor to come make our life like it comfortably blindly was. Neither can we base our emotions and actions on gnostic trickles of ‘truth’ (although that is how a lot of truth is getting known.) Rather we have a responsibility and a map as citizens to continue to constitutionally stand for truth and goodness, and to behave rightly to those around us. I have been called to hone in on my networking and health and urban homesteading and Bible giftings and use them for the building up of people right within my sphere of neighborhood, church, selected ‘friends’ near and far. It has built bridges to those who are less homogenous to my beliefs, and given me courage to face a tumultuous future that we have been given hints of in Scripture. The illustration of silver refining comes to mind: a woman checking on the meaning of a Bible passage was asking a silversmith how he knew that the melting was done just right so it wouldn’t be ruined or left with too many impurities. He said the dross comes out and the silver is perfect just when he can see his own image reflected back in the silver. My favorite passage is 2Peter 1:3-10 (try the ESV) because we have been given everything for life and godliness through our knowledge of Him, we WILL escape the corruption in this world, we will display His qualities to all, and we will not be unfruitful, nearsighted, or blinded when we look to Him. His Truth is marching on, and it will be brilliant against a black backdrop. Be encouraged!
Yes, you are right on about the government’s reasons for promoting the vaccine. It’s all about control of the people which is a scary thought. I have not gotten the shot nor do I plan on getting it! It’s sad about Canada too as I know people there and love them.
Yes. I have family in New Zealand and I hope I can visit them again some time in the future. But if it requires a vaccine, I will never see them again.
Yes, I too love the USA!! It does worry me greatly when I see all of the things the "left" is doing to take away our freedoms, track us, and seeing some of my own relatives actually voting and believing in what the left has to offer. I can't even imagine why they can't see what I see!! I do know there are many of us who want, and know we NEED President Trump back as our true President. I believe, as I've heard many of the Christian prophets say, that God pick him to be our President so he could fix many of the bad things going on in our government. The so-called president Biden has undone just about everything good that President Trump accomplished before the stolen election! We also are dealing with those who have a LOT of money and want to own the world by first unleashing Covid on the world, and then coming up with the so-called vaccines to kill off even more people. Their hideous plan is to depopulate the world and take the remaining survivors to be their slaves. And -- schools that teach our nations' children downright horrible things like racial hate. Our schools have to be purged of teachers and other staff that believe in such trash! So much to be done, but I believe that our real President Trump, with his MANY supporters, and especially with God leading the way, can accomplish fixing all of that!!
Thanks Barbara! I agree with much of what you say. I think it's important that we don't lean to heavily on one man. Our true North is our Constitution and we individually have to stand up to those who want to gain power over us. For too long we freedom-loving people have outsourced our fight to a few people. No one, not Trump nor Desantis can change Washington from within. The States have to stand up to the Federal Government overreach. The people have to stand up to the slow and methodical take over of our freedom.
What's happening now actually has a long history of being tried over many decades. I just saw our country in a much better spot when President Trump was in charge than I had seen in many years. I do agree that the Constitution and Bill of Rights are the necessary basis of our freedoms and the future of America. Those were the things that President Trump also felt were very important for our country. Many of our other Presidents have not seemed to be as persistent with that thought. President Trump wanted the power in the people's hands, not the government's. The opposite of that is happening right now -- the people's power is being taken away, more everyday. Many of the States governing people are just as corrupt as those in the Federal government at this time. I feel it's We the People that need to change what's happening!
I love the quote at the top of the page. And am proud to be one of the irate vocal minority who will voice my opinion and stand against tyranny and the curtailing of freedoms guaranteed by our Constitution and Bill of Rights. Keep up your excellent writing of your thoughts and opinions.
Hello Glen, over a year has passed and most people are still walking around with blinders on. Fortunately there are some who either through personal experience or their perception hit the nail on and are speaking about this current era. Where this virus came from, how "dangerous" it might seem to be, the lightning speed with which the "governments found a cure"...list goes on is all are just a distraction to what is really coming. No, and I don't mean the New World Order as many call it. We have been lied and lied to for centuries. To be exact since the garden of Eden when Satan deceived Eve. I am sure most are familiar with that story, but the problem here is that it is perceived only as a story. If you read carefully the accounts in the Bible, they all tell you what the end of times will look like. Yes, we're heading towards Great Tribulation and subsequently Armageddon. Satan has been in charge of this world from the beginning when he deceived Eve. His earthly organization is cleverly disguised as benevolent society of Freemasonry. Yes, just as the Bible says that the whole world lies in the power of the wicked one (Lucifer or Satan as some know him), yet most people really do not understand this implication. Satan's people, all Freemasons, were and are running our governments worldwide. They are running our modern day food productions (Big Agri), our medical system (Big Pharma), Big Business, our school systems, our entertainment eg. Hollywood, yes, every aspect of buying and selling as the Bible points out they have the mark of Satan to Buy and sell. Every president of every country, with the exception of few is Freemason and takes direction from Satan. It's all staged globally. Very cleverly disguised, but staged. When president Kennedy, who btw was a freemason himself initially, but who saw through the harm Satan was inflicting on people and publicly spoke about the "dark forces" running the country, he was eliminated. So were scores of others who no longer wanted to serve the god of darkness. Marylin Monroe, Anthony Bourdain, ...just couple of examples, yet there were many. As soon as they started to speak against their master, they are silenced, killed mostly to appear as suicide. Most of our revered actors, singers, politicians, doctors, police agents, CIA, WHO, CDC...the list goes on ..are freemasons involved in satanic rituals including child sacrifices. Yes, it sounds incredulous, but it is the truth. There is proof; all people need is to look. So there is no need to shake our heads as to what the governments are doing as we know Satan's agenda is to destroy as many as he can before he himself is put in abyss and eventually destroyed himself. The real issue here is what to do to survive whatever is coming in the very near Tribulation. Again, the Bible holds the clue to those who are willing to listen and hear. The Bible says Satan blinds the minds of unbelievers... and he has been very successful over the centuries. YHWH, the name of the true God says, whoever calls on the name of Yahweh will be saved. We need the "mark on our forehead" from God. It's up to us to find out and learn what exactly that means. Btw, all false religion will be destroyed by the governments in very near future. Satan hates Jesus Christ, God's son, yet Satan himself was running all these false religions of the earth. Its very interesting how it will all end up in the future. God has been kind to let those who want to worship the true God know what to do. Not a fable but reality.
You made your/our case eloquently and brilliantly -- Thank You!!! I often refer to a couple of salient quotes when confronted with this mindless and autocratic nonsense:
"You can avoid reality, but you cannot avoid the consequences of avoiding reality." -- Ayn Rand
",...all power tends to corrupt. Absolute power corrupts absolutely. There is no greater heresy than the assertion that 'the Office' sanctifies the holder of it." -- Lord Acton
And, allow me a personal quote: "By definition and function, ALL government is parasitic -- think of a louse or a tick sucking your blood."

Every government entity will try to get away with as much as it can. It's up to us on a local level to stop them.
Yes, I agree with you. I am German and it is unbelievable how this country changed in the last 18 months. People do not question anything the government orders them to do, they obey.

Moronic
What did I say that was moronic? Could it possibly be that we simply disagree?
I fought for our Democracy USMC and I see Fascism that cannot be allowed to happen
Got it. So you're not calling me moronic. ;) Thank you for your service!
