Is God in control? If so, what does that mean (Page 2): What is my bad? Not being a wacko Christian right winger?

God is not the cause of Bad Bobs evil, but he is allowing him to exersise his free will to choose it. Alas, sorry Bob, but even your bad will be used to achieve Gods purpose. Sad you are choosing such a dark future for yourself. There is still time.

What is my bad? Not being a wacko Christian right winger?

Excellent come back Bad Bob, for the fool has said in his heart there is no God. Psalm 14:1

You mean Bad Bob doesn't believe in your archaic fairy tale God. That doesn't make me an atheist.

Memorial Day and Reflections of Hope

Friday, May 25, 2018

Over the Memorial Day weekend, many will have the opportunity to spend time with friends and family on several occasions. As we come together, we should thank the Lord for those who gave their lives that we might be free. We should also recognize that the world in which we live, that the nation where we are citizens, is far different from what it was even 30 years ago. We as a nation have fast accelerated into a humanistic mindset where not much that is time honored or traditional is celebrated. The young men who I coached in football always were fascinated by some of our old timer stories about participating in Memorial Day parades when we were kids, ending at the local cemetery.

There, the graves of who served in the military were decorated with wreaths or flags, followed by a sermon and prayer for our nation and those who gave the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom. Local Memorial Day services nowadays are often not well publicized. We may not know about them. What we do know about are the freedoms we have lost in the past generation--freedoms that were taken away not by some foreign force, but by the government itself. As we view the Bill of Rights through the headlines, we see that the government--those who we elected--are working to undermine these rights that were held by the Founders as "self evident" endowed by our "Creator" with a capital "C," meaning God Almighty.

My son Christian and I often discuss these things. He says that "progressives" (that's what they are politely called in his college classes) care little about the history of our nation because they believe that mankind is always progressing beyond the past. He says they fail to recognize the mistakes made in history and the knowledge and wisdom that comes from learning about those mistakes. That, he says, is what makes them prone to making unwise and bad decisions. He says that they see the Word of God as fable and reject the foundational principles of God's law and the law of nature's God. It is his generation's way of explaining why our nation is in the mess that it is in.

He believes there is hope in his generation, although he admits that Christian values are diminishing within it. I believe there is hope, too. The Bible says a lot about hope. One of my favorites is Romans 5:1-5, "Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: By whom also we have access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God. And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation works patience; And patience, experience; and experience, hope: And hope makes not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who is given unto us." Don't let anyone steal your hope, your faith, or your will to stand on them.

Have a Blessed and Powerful Day!

In most cases it will take a calamity of a large magnitude to make some really evaluate the path that they are now on and then change directions. In my life I have had few that came to me and want to know the truth and to change their path and they were usually when they were facing death or what they perceived as death.

And what a blessing when we realize we are not just a random group of cells, but were created specifically by God for His purposes. The sting of death and guilt are lifted. The seeming futility of our existence is expelled, when we become sons and daughters of God. Why stand in that cold dark place?

Amen and Amen but they are progressive you know and they know everything just ask them and watch them make fools of themselves by posting stupid pictures that show their mindlessness and their lack of love for our country and each other. Truly shallow to say the least.

Good morning Blade. I love what you just wrote.
I hope the Godless left will read it.

I would hope the brain on freeze, thawed. Nothing Blade said supported God is in control. Please re-read and show me where. The godless are those that promote an Islamic god is in control rhetoric. The Bible DOES NOT EVER CLAIM GOD IS IN CONTROL.
