RESPECT FOR THE CREATOR

Proverbs 14:12 (KJV) There is a way which seemeth right unto a man,

but the end thereof are the ways of death.

 

RESPECT FOR THE CREATOR, SOVEREIGN GOD

 

   Exo 20:7 Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.

 

Americans are facing the total disruptive government as we approach 2020 Presidential Election. It is not as much of a concern about the candidates, as it is with the process. As WE THE PEOPLE, we have let a runaway culture that is steeped in self-indulgence fueled by the few that seek reparation for centuries of history, set our standards.

 

Yet we pray to God and ask for help when we have turned our back on his standards. We listen to world news and declare that there is nothing one person can do, but read Isaiah 18. Isaiah said I am going to sit at the gate and turn back the enemy.

 

With the coronavirus pandemic, there is no consensus on how votes should be cast, or counted. More crucial, we have already changed our school systems (totally altering socialization), raising new threats of obesity and mental health disorders.

 

Jesus said, “Fear not …”, yet the church shelters in and resorts to the web and social media to deliver its message. At the same time, many who call themselves Christian join outsiders to march in our streets protesting and looting.

 

Worse then that these rebellious mobs are virtually destroying America’s history; both that of the church, and their own. Now where will you take your grandchildren and share what sacrifices were made to bring us to our present status?

 

For those that are so vocal about the inequities of what identifies as slavery, what is the difference with what we call employment, or indebtedness, a bad marriage, or denominational error, bullying, abuse, and on and on. Think about this, all these things go on today with the police presence. What will it be like if these mobs succeed in forcing the elimination of the police?

 

When was the last time the church reviewed the constitution and bylaws of the United States as a means of encouraging respect for God-directed leadership? You may not like the president, or a city mayor, or a judge, or a senator, or a representative, but they are God-directed officers of government. Whether you respect the person or not, we are commanded to respect each of the offices, and abide by rules and regulations that are positioned for the good of the whole.

 

Read the following Article 1 of the Bill of Rights of the Constitution and tell me what in these few words authorize violence, rebellion, looting, burning, destroying monuments, defacing public buildings, damaging business property and killing business owners.

Article [I] (Amendment 1 - Freedom of expression and religion) 13

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

None of these actions can reasonably be identified as peaceful, or as a petition. This is anarchy, and unfortunately, it is being directed in our city by people from out of state. They are not even citizens of our community.

 

These outsiders are taking advantage of the unrest of the locals that are so tired of being quarantined that they will chase anything that seems to be exciting. Most of the participants, night after night have no clue what the true focus of the mob activity truly is.

 

With the coronavirus pandemic, there is no consensus on how votes should be cast, or counted. More crucial, we have already changed our school systems (totally altering socialization), raising new threats of obesity and mental health disorders.

 

Frustration is fueled through growing claims that parents are not capable, or qualified to home school, or deal with the growing unrest among the homebound student population across the nation.

 

This new normal is imposing unbelievable sacrifice and inconvenience on virtually every home in the land. Suicides are up, drug and alcohol abuse are rampant, and our society is losing hope, and engaging in disruptive looting, rioting, and reacting irresponsibly.

 

As owners and managers of businesses, you are enduring disruptive influences on every hand, finance, material, personnel, and governmental intrusion. I share this foundational fact with you to encourage you and inform you that there is a source of hope, one greater than all our problems: God is still in Control. Romans 8:28 (KJV).

 

Be blessed … Mel

RULE OF LAW? WHO IS KIDDING WHO?

 RULES ARE APPARENTLY MEANT TO BE OBSERVED, … Witness the US OPEN on Sunday, 9/6/2020 LAWS ARE APPARENTLY MERE SUGGESTIONS, WITH NO RELEVANCE FOR LAWMAKERS … Witness the event in a beauty salon in San Francisco late last week. And please observe the behavior of the world's #1 tennis player. Although vocally resisting or debating the decision for a few minutes as would be expected of anyone. Then willfully and without public protest, he picked up his gear and left not only the court but the compound and grounds. Please contrast that with the behavior of the Speaker of the House of Representatives. The Third Highest Office in US Government. If anything were to happen to the President and Vice-President that incapacitated them and deemed them incapable of directing the affairs of government, the Speaker of the House of Representatives would be elevated to the Presidency, with no assent from the populace. Why because that is the procedure set forth in the Constitution of th...

A VISION GOD GAVE ME WHEN I DIED IN 1993 - HEAVENLY REJECT #2

-
  BACKGROUND Have you ever given serious thought to the “Eternal Plight” of those who choose to live in “spiritual darkness”?   In an unusual encounter, in Asheville, NC, in September of 1993, God gave me insight into the immensity of this population, and their influence on all of society.   Knowing that the earth’s population now exceeds 5 billion, it is difficult to comprehend the Biblical prophecy that merely a remnant will ultimately be saved.   HOW CAN THIS BE?   With all of the emphasis on worldwide, evangelism, international radio/TV ministries, dedicated Bible Radio/TV stations in most major viewing markets …   HOW CAN THIS BE? …. A REMNANT?   ISA 1:9 Speaks of what we call a “doctrine of the Remnant” … but this refers to Judah, and the other tribes of Israel … not to gentiles or the church.   This remnant is an assurance, to preserve God’s covenant with Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and David.   Many times...

  Proverbs 14:12 (KJV) There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.   DOMINION      Col 3:16   (KJV) Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.       Mat 18:15 (KJV) Moreover, if thy brother shall trespass against thee, go and tell him his fault between thee and him alone: if he shall hear thee, thou hast gained thy brother.     Mat 18:16 (KJV) But if he will not hear thee, then take with thee one or two more, that in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established.     Mat 18:17 (KJV) And if he shall neglect to hear them, tell it unto the church: but if he neglects to hear the church, let him be unto thee as a he...
