May Day Protests and the Counterrevolution :: By Bill Wilson

Last May, there was a curious news photo attached to a story about how radical anarchist rioters were violently protesting an appearance by Republican primary presidential candidate Donald Trump. The photo was of a little Latino boy holding a sign that read, “Make America Mexico Again.”

This take off of Trump’s campaign slogan, “Make America Great Again” spoke a thousand words. The George Soros MoveOn.org-sponsored communists, also supported by La Raza, Black Lives Matter, Communist Party USA and other radical anti-American groups, are using free speech to trample on the free speech of legitimate citizens who support a traditional and law-abiding ideal of America. They were at it again this year.

May 1 traditionally has been declared International Workers Day. It’s a day when labor unions, communists, socialists and anarchists gather together to show their “solidarity” for the working man, or woman, or gender de jour. The Democratic Party and the ex- “president” support these organizations.

This year, in particular, there were mass angry protests across the country scheduled to make the world know that anyone who opposes this anti-American line of thought is, well, anti-American…in addition to bigots, Nazis, fascists, hate-mongers, racists, misogynists, homophobes, Islamophobes… Have I missed anybody? These protesters are all part of the communist plan to takeover America, whether they know it or not.

The protesters come wrapped in hate and destruction against Trump for his strong stance against illegal immigration. Last year, the Los Angeles Times quoted Luis Serrano, an organizer with California Immigration Youth Justice Alliance, saying, “We’re going to keep showing up and standing against the actions and the hate Donald Trump is creating. We are going to continue to just show up in numbers and stand together.”

So it is now “hateful” to enforce the law, but it was fine when a “president” allowed free medical, social services, and protected status to those with their minds set on overthrowing the government. The only ones creating hate here are those who are protesting—minions and pawns of the greater communist cause.

Crisis creates opportunities for greater governmental control, suspending civil rights in the name of security, the loss of a free nation. It becomes a vicious circle. The answer is the gospel-truly it is. Christians are orderly, God fearing and law abiding by virtue of the commandments we strive to live by. We need to do a better job in evangelizing and making disciples. Our form of government works when the moral and ethical are holding accountability.

Romans 13:12 says, “The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armor of light.”

We are in a fight for our preservation as a people and a nation. We need to change hearts to win it. It is our counterrevolution.

Discerning :: By Bill Wilson

A lot is written about fake news these days. Fake news has been around for a long time. It is one of those sensational headlines that entices you to read the story, but in reality—the story is not really a story. The National Enquirer has had a reputation for such sensationalism; perhaps a headline about a celebrity having another celebrity’s baby. But when you read the story you discover that the celebrity gave a dog that is having puppies to the other celebrity. That was fake news before the politicians got a hold of it, and took it to a whole different level.

Then there always has been propaganda; some news with a political bent to move people’s thinking. It’s all about weaving in enough truth to make a better lie. How do we discern? First, boil it down to the very pith of the issue. The apostle John gave some great advice on this very issue. He wrote this in 1 John 4:1-3:

“Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God: And every spirit that confesses not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof you have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.”

Ask yourself this question: “Is this of God or not?” Once you have that figured out, determine if it aligns with the Word of God.

Hebrews 4:12 says, “For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.”

Think about that. The Word of God is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. How does the intent of a story weigh against the word of God? What is the story trying to get across? Who or what is the story advocating? But before you can use the Word of God as a tool to discern, you need to know the Word of God—not what somebody says is the Word of God, but what you have personally found is the Word of God. This means that you need to study and know it.

The third test is really one of the spirit. Your relationship with Jesus Christ will help you discern the truth. The deeper your relationship, the better your truth detector will be. Jesus said in John 8:31-32:

“If you continue in my word, then are you my disciples indeed; And you shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free.”

If you can learn to break down every news headline and story by determining the spirit of it, discerning its intent, and finding the truth from a spiritual perception, you can discern what is fake news and what isn’t. But with this is the responsibility to know God, know the Word of God, and to know Jesus Christ in spirit and truth-not mankind’s doctrines or the Word out of context. Like anything, practice makes perfect.

Have a blessed and powerful day!
