My reason for not choosing Trump has nothing to do with hating him. I can't hate man because God told us to love one another. I don't even hate Hilary. I just despise the kind of person she has become.  There is  a cruel and mean hashtag out there that Trump supporters has used to describe  those who won't vote for him. I am not one of them. I never liked him in the beginning. I don't like his style, but perhaps I would have given him a chance if A) he has a strong Christian Faith and B) is a true Conservative. He is neither. I am sure there are some who will say he is a true conservative. How do you know?  Years ago he has been chummy with the Clintons. It is true that he still feels the same  about politics back then as he do now, but it doesn't make him a great leader. In fact, no  man or woman can make America great again. America is the way it is because the liberals made it that way. It is on a decline because  Americans have turned  their...

We can agree that we don't all agree on the best candidate for president. But I am concerned that people  have made and are making decisions based on words they say. Anyone can  make a promise but not keep it. 2016 makes an interesting year for the election. There is the famous billionaire with a bad attitude who threw his hat into the ring. He promises to make America  great again, but I agree with someone who said that he can't  make America great again.  I have serious doubt he is who we need. And we had Ben Carson. Now I have one problem with him. He may believe Jesus but he is an SDA and that is a cult religion. (Doesn't his church view govt as evil?) There was also  Carly Fiorina, John Kaisch. Marco Rubio, Jed Bush, Scott Walker (and my two favorite: Mike Huckabee and Ted Cruz) But slowly,  America weeded out who they think won't make a good president, including my favorite (again) Mike Huckabee. What is wrong with having a former pastor a pr...

Lately as I thought about my cat and what he is going through. I repented of calling him my cutie monster. Why? Because I believe he will believe it and become it. It is the same way with children. Our words are powerful. Solomon wrote that the tongue has the power of life and death. (Proverbs 18:21) Think about it. There are spiritual forced that goes to work when we speak words of good and bad. In the beginning, God spoke the world into existence.  He said, "Light be" and it was. Granted, that we are not God (although we are made in his image and have his DNA), we should speak good into our lives, situations, circumstances and yes, pets. In the gospels, Jesus said. "By your words you will be acquitted and by your words you will be condemned." (MT 12:37). Acquitted and condemned are legal words. In the court of law, when you are acquitted of a crime, it means you go free but when you are condemned, you are not let off the hook. Our words do the same thing ...

Have you ever wondered where ISIS came from?  We all know they follow Sharia Law because they are Islamic. ISIS is an Islamic State group. We've seen it on the news and on social media that they are responsible for countless of beheading and  immersing their victims under water while locked in a  cage. We know they hate Americans and what we stand for. According to the QaRan, they are told to kill anyone who is either a Christian or a Jew (what they call the people of the book) Even Muslims are that way, but just who are these people and where do they come from? Last night, I was scrolling down on my timeline and saw a post by one of the Christian pages I like. Johnathon Kahn was on the Jim Bakker Show talking about ISIS connection to Biblical History. Finally,  I got some answered and it confirmed  in me what I thought all along. Charisma News If you have read in the Bible about how the Assyrians treats their victims, you'd see how similar they are to ...

There are three branches in our government: Executive, Judicial and Legislative. Every branch has their own set of jobs for members to  fulfill. The legislative branch makes laws, the judicial branch discerns or  judges the law and the executive branch is enforcing that law. They also have a check and balance system to make sure everyone doesn't overstep. But it happened. Back in June, the Supreme Court declared that Gay Marriage is legal in the 50 states. There was huge celebration of the supporters but those who opposed moaned, It meant clergyman had a choice to face persecution or marry the gay couple. Some churches were under fie because they said no while others succumb in order to avoid persecution. And there were county clerks who chose to resign, but not Kim Davis. Kim Davis used her moral convictions and her constitutional rights and told gay couples, "No, I won;t sign name on your marriage license." When word got out, the Federal  Judges had her arrested. Sh...

I'll be honest with you. This is not my forte although it should be. What isn't it you ask? Having an attitude of gratitude. You heard people talk about it, haven't you? They name off all through the day what they are thankful, It could be something ordinary like air or some blessing in our  lives. Some people will name off spiritual blessings like salvation or forgiveness. But what if your day begins bad? What if you woke up tired? I have friend who says that lack of sleep causes people to have stinking thinking. Having an attitude of grattiude can be a real challenge. It was for me and I know I've failed. For some reason, I couldn't sleep last night. I don't think I slept until maybe one in the morning then my sister forgot I told her not to wake me early (Because I originally planned on it) so five  and half hours later, she comes in and ask, "Did you want me to wake you up?" After that I couldn't go back to sleep, and thus began the stinkin...

I went to the evening service tonight.  The message was on the Holy Spirit and His Work in us. A few months ago, (August 14, 2014) I wrote about the Fruit of the Spirit so I thought I'd would refresh you and  expound a little more about the fruit. The fruit of the Spirit   I mentioned in my earlier blog that the Holy Spirit produces fruit in us, but I failed to mention that   just like a fruit on a tree or in a bush when it appears  is ripe. For example. A red apple (not the green like the granny) when it's not ripe is green, Or let's say a grape on the vine may just be small little green grape. Not edible.  It needs to grow and mature. The same  with us Christians Haven't you heard people saying, "I need more joy in my life." Or  "Lord, give me patience!"?  When we become  born again believers (Christians) we don't automatically have the full  effect of the fruit. Or we may have plenty of love but no patience. As I mentioned in ...
