I have also noticed this demonic trend coming from Hollywood in their films and also from TV shows that tend to go in that direction as well. I believe that we are approaching the end times. I believe that the unsaved or unwashed are the instruments of Satan and the attacks are against our children and others who are easily swayed and have no foundation.

And I "believe" you are correct bahmer!

It's sad time we are living in for sure. :(

The Daily Jot

Honoring our veterans, or not

As we commemorate Veterans Day, I am always humbled by the selfless and heroic efforts made by those brave men and women, the sons and daughters of America who preserved liberty at the highest cost, no short cuts, but the ultimate price. I think of that fantastic generation of World War II and those that followed in Korea, Vietnam and, now, the Middle East. They sacrificed their lives for something they believed was bigger than them. They knew the value of family; the power of God; and that what was good about life and liberty was foundational to being an American, and it was worth fighting for. They were defined by their courage and character, their dedication to what was right and good.

Veterans Day this day is a solemn day in our household. Growing up, the price of liberty was always close to home and family as many in our community stood when called and said “Here am I.” We in America are crying out for common sense, a sign that we can find unity, and peace. We have been at war with Islam for 15 years. It is too long. Our veterans pay the price of death, mental health, loss of limbs, and loss of family. There is absolutely no resolve on the part of politicians to do the right thing--fight this war with a decisive and victorious end, and get it done. But considering the response by the Administration and the weak-kneed politicians of both parties, there is little hope of resolution outside of God’s hand of mercy.

Warren McCarthy and Gene Flynn, served on D-Day, surviving the beaches of Normandy. They were decorated war heroes. Not much of what they did was ever discussed. But you somehow knew that they were special. My dad, who was a farmer during WWII, was best friends with these men. He knew what went on, but would never say. They were among the finest men I knew growing up. My uncle Bob Harris served in the Philippines. There were times when he had flashbacks. My dad would get a call from my aunt and he would find Uncle Bob, talk him down and hold him until the terror passed. He, too, was a decorated hero. All these men knew the price of freedom and they understood their civic duty to their families, their God and their country.

Presidents Reagan, Bush, and Clinton all openly paid respect to America’s servicemen and women on Veteran Days. Former President George W. Bush honored and respected our servicemen every day of his two terms. For example, he gave up the game of golf early in his presidency out of respect for the families of those who gave their lives for our nation. The current “president,” however, shows no such respect. He has golfed 248 times during his presidency, and has played golf on every Memorial Day weekend since taking office. Think about the optics and how this Administration has treated veterans. Jesus said in Matthew 7:20, “Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.” Enough said.&#8203;

Verse of the Day for Thursday November 12th, 2015:

In all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. — Romans 8:37

Thoughts on Today's Verse....

Are we really conquerors despite "trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword"? Yes! That is the ultimate Christian assurance. Nothing can separate us from God's love in Christ. The Evil One and his allies can kill our bodies, ruin our finances, wrack our bodies with pain, and seek to destroy our relationships. However, the Evil One cannot have our hearts when they are surrendered to Jesus. And when our hearts belong to Jesus, so does our future! The empty tomb of Jesus assures us that our future with him is glorious, victorious, and unending.

My Prayer...

Give me eyes to see, O God, and a heart to believe that Jesus' victory over death is my victory, too! I don't want to be derailed from my hope, faith, and love by the difficulties of life. Instead, I want to be a living testimony to your power, victory, and grace. In Jesus' name, and for his glory, I live and pray. Amen.

Not good news for my friends on the left....

TRUMP'S LATEST NEWS MAY BREAK THE HEARTS OF SOME VOTERS
By NWV Senior Political News Writer, Jim Kouri
Posted 1:00 AM Eastern
November 12, 2015

In a SurveyUSA poll, Trump received 31% of the Latino vote, and 25% of the black vote. A Republican candidate hasn't posted these kinds of numbers since Ronald Reagan ran against the left-wing President Jimmy Carter. Clearly, Trump's message is resonating with Americans from all walks of life.” You’ve heard of Reagan Democrats?.......

Pollsters from both SurveyUSA and Rasmussen recently released surveys that appear to have GOP maverick Donald Trump not only winning the Republican nomination, but beating a woman he claims he will investigate and if necessary prosecute, Hillary Clinton.

Trump told his supporters that former U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton will face serious criminal charges if he wins the presidency and appoints the nation's top cop -- the attorney general. Speaking at a rally in Illinois, Trump accused Clinton of criminal activities stemming from her handling of emails and classified material while at the State Department. Trump flat-out said that Mrs. Clinton committed a "crime."

Verse of the Day for Friday November 13th, 2015:

I [Paul] thank God, whom I serve, as my forefathers did, with a clear conscience, as night and day I constantly remember you [Timothy] in my prayers. — 2 Timothy 1:3

Thoughts on Today's Verse....

Paul is near the end of his life, facing persecution in a horrible prison. Many of the young men whom he had mentored have left the faith or have turned against him. How can he give thanks? Paul speaks of his confidence in his own victorious future with Jesus and in his son in the faith, Timothy. What makes this special is that he communicates it to Timothy. He's not content to just give thanks to God in prayer! He also tells Timothy how precious he is in this letter. When was the last time you sent a note of thanks to the people you appreciate, letting them know they give you reason to rejoice before the throne of God?

My Prayer...

Matchless Father of all grace, thank you! Thank you for every spiritual blessing I have in Christ. Thank you today for the special people who are such a blessing to me in my walk of faith...(take a minute and just say their names before the Father). Help me grow in my ability to show my appreciation and approval of these precious people, so that they can know what a blessing they are to me. In Jesus' name I thank you. Amen.

Facing God

Frontpage, by Danusha V. Goska, Nov. 11, 2015:
Posted Nov 12, 2015

The Judeo-Christian tradition recognizes the individual, apart from the mob. That individual is invited to meet and talk, face to face and utterly spontaneously, with God, without interruption from any earthly authority. That encounter is the life spark of Western Civilization.

We define, and recognize, by contrasts. I learn much about Christian prayer and Christian monasticism by comparing them with their opposites. I think of Michelangelo’s “Creation of Adam” and what it says about my faith – specifically, what it says about the Judeo-Christian concept of God, of man, and of prayer. I think of how that artwork and its implications contrast with other belief systems: modern Atheism, ancient Paganism, and Islam.

Between 1508 and 1512, on the ceiling of the Vatican’s Sistine Chapel, Michelangelo depicted the spark of life in the fingertip-to-fingertip, eye-contact encounter between one, loving, creator God and one human being – not a teeming mass – just one person. In Michelangelo’s fresco, we see Adam’s full naked form, from head to toe. God looks like Adam, and Adam looks like God. They are the same size. Every detail here matters – that Adam is just one man, that he is naked, that he is anatomically detailed, that he is the same size as God, that God and Adam are fundamentally structured the same, that Adam is making eye contact with God, that God looks upon Adam with fiercely attentive love – every detail here has an impact on the life anyone can live in a Judeo-Christian society.

Organized Christophobes and anti-Semites have targeted Michelangelo’s “Creation of Adam” for attack. They call themselves “The Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster.” They blather, “Oh, you Christians and Jews are so stupid; you think God is an old man in the sky with a long, white beard.” They insist that it doesn’t matter what story a society tells itself about its origins. They say that the Judeo-Christian God may as well be a monster made of spaghetti. They are ignorant and childish enough to believe that if we told ourselves that story, we’d be able to have the same society that we have now. They are wrong on every count.

“God created man in his image; in the divine image he created him; male and female he created them”: Sofers, ancient Jewish scribes, committed these words to print in the book of Genesis thousands of years ago. Each individual person is the image of a loving God – “tzelem elohim” in Hebrew, “imago dei” in Latin. Michelangelo used the language at which he was fluent – his gift for accurately depicting anatomy and physiology – to communicate the essence of the relationship between the Judeo-Christian God and each individual person.

Adam and God meet face to face, eye to eye, in the Sistine Chapel fresco. Exodus 33:11 tells us that “The Lord spoke with Moses face to face, just as a man speaks with his friend.” Deuteronomy 5:4 tells us that “the Lord spoke to his people Israel” face to face as well. In Numbers 6:25, God blesses thus “The Lord let his face shine upon you.” The Bible repeatedly adjures us to seek God’s face. “When thou saidst, Seek ye my face; my heart said unto thee, Thy face, Lord, will I seek” Psalm 27:8. “Face to face:” this metonym has meant intimate connection – human and spiritual – for the past four thousand years. “To face” means “to meet.” The sixth amendment to the US Constitution guarantees the right to face one’s accuser. “Face” often means “dignity,” e.g. “To save face.” This is true not just of English, but of many languages. In Medieval Slavic languages, “without face” means “shame.” In China and other Asian cultures, face is reputation, honor, and dignity.

Adam is an individual, apart from a mob. The Talmud teaches that God created only one Adam, rather than a group of men at once, to emphasize the value of each, individual life. One man, in himself, is an entire universe. The Bible teaches: you matter. Not some ideal you. Not you as a cog in a big machine. You who you are, right now. You matter. The God who created the universe wants contact with you. Bring your moment-by-moment concerns to God. Suffering? Pray. Rejoicing? Pray. Sick? Pray. Worried about someone else? Pray. Anxious for yourself? Pray. (James 5 13-18, Philippians 4:6). David, Mary, and Jesus model candid, spontaneous prayer. David nags God in the Psalms, Mary spikes the ball in the Magnificat, and Jesus on the cross holds back nothing. No prayers are as poignant as the prayers of desperate women. Hannah is reprimanded for the intensity of her prayer – “Lady, are you drunk?” – and the woman with a hemorrhage prays her tentative, tiny prayer silently, “If only I can touch the hem of his garment.”
