Armageddun Loc: The show me state

We have become a country that is on the road to tolerate anything and everything society. That is the formula for developing a mindset that says to unstable people that anything goes. We have downgraded to the point of eliminating God out of even some churches.

We are tri-part beings, Body, mind, and spirit. We have no problem feeding or caring for our bodies; our minds are another thing, there is no doubt that young minds have been and are being indoctrinated by public school systems since approx. the late 1960s until now with the introduction of technology, lack of proper personal interaction, the freewheeling lifestyles have destroyed the need for accountability. responsibility, and respectability for many younger people.

When was the last time a 65-70+-year-old has been involved in a mass shooting?
The third part of our humanness is the Spiritual side. Body! Check. Mind questionable! The spirit, failure.
God is in the business of changing hearts and minds. He has given in His Word a simple way to stop all the mass shootings, corruption, hate, greed, jealousy, or whatever is harmful to any society or culture. He simply says, Love your neighbor as you love yourself. Most importantly He says to Love the Lord thy God with all you mind heart and strength.

If you read Galatians 5:22 you will find what takes place when a person (whoever) gets serious about believing in God the things that take over a persons life, IF, IF they are serious.
Evil will be with us until the end there is no question about that, in fact, times will just get worse. No manmade law is going to change human nature. We have reached the point where Jesus said as the end approaches there will come a time when there is distress among nations with perplexity. This means we will reach a time when there are no answers or solutions to many, many problems.

We are there if we will just stop and look at what is happening not only in our country but around the world. Something big is on the horizon, be it Divine Good or extreme evil. If we really want to stop the extreme evil we all have to be willing to make the right choices and decisions.
This will seem like silliness to some but no matter how silly one may think it is following God brings a total change in a person as only He can change human nature. Just saying.

I believe that there are both good and evil on the horizon.
God is good but He is also a just God. All good will be rewarded and all evil will be judged!
Imagine, even death will be defeated and thrown into the lake of fire. That’s way above my pay grade. But I believe it!
We, followers of Christ, let me narrow that down, we, who are known by Christ, have nothing to fear! I’ll assume that you are a meat eater and understand that 🤷‍♂️
We don’t know EXACTLY when that horizon will come, but we ARE told of the signs that focus everything on that point in “time”. We’re nearing the fullness of the gentiles.
Be of good cheer!
As always, God is near!

There's a lot of things you could put there to take the place of that cell phone.

I think an election ballot would be best!

Zemirah Loc: Sojourner En Route...

We are forewarned of the evil that is prevalent throughout the earth, in all man made structures and systems, and is now escalating preparatory to these Last Days.
We have been given the armor of God with which to vanquish the enemy, for nothing and no one surprises God... and God does not leave us uninformed, lest we be unprepared.

It is written: "But know this: Perilous times will come in the last days.
For people will be lovers of their own self, lovers of money, boastful, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy,
unloving, trucebreakers, false accusers, without self-control, fierce, despisers of those that are good,
traitors, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God,
holding to a form of godliness, although they have denied its power; avoid such people.

And you know that from childhood you have known the sacred Scriptures, which are able to give you wisdom for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus.
All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, for rebuking, for correcting and training in righteousness,
so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work." (2nd Timothy 1-5,15-17)

Ephesians 6:17 "And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God."
