A House Divided Cannot Stand :: By Jim Towers

Political Correctness
We here in America have a dilemma and it could tear our country apart. The results of our mid-term elections could be our undoing. Everyone knows that conservatives far outnumber liberals; but because of voter tampering, they managed to take back the house. Not only that, but now we have an avowed homosexual, a lesbian, and two Muslims in some of the nation’s highest offices.

This poses a huge problem for the Trump administration, since now the socialist liberals have the new political puppets to fight back against well-founded allegations of wrongdoing of the previous administration. Their main objective is to bring Trump down, thus covering up their evil deeds, and also to bring the nation down to the level of a third world country.

The way things are going, and if the liberal communists have their way, we Christians stand to lose our freedoms and may soon be facing persecution. Make no mistake about it – Liberal Socialists, atheists and sexual perverts will continue to undermine American society relentlessly.

Having succumbed to political correctness, our society is beginning to unravel.

Jesus had it right – A house divided cannot stand.

Because of apathy, we are losing our country to moral relativism and a way of life where anything goes. In addition to this, false doctrine has taken a foothold in Christianity as well. There are now untold doctrines of demons – and the Catholic church is the oldest and most virulent of them all what with pedophilia running rampant throughout the so-called clergy. Among that group are Protestant heresies as well.

We Christians are, however, divided amongst ourselves, and hardly anyone understands sound doctrine anymore, even though God Himself left us the blueprint of His desire for mankind – the Bible. Our undoing is coming about by deviating from scripture or by twisting it around to say what ungodly and politically correct men think is right.

Yes, there are many poisonous interpretations of scripture in religion, and cults – many based on one man’s revelations, like the Mormons or the Jehovah’s Witnesses. Then there are so many blatant in-your-face retractions and additions to the sacred Word of God – that it’s hardly recognizable anymore.

Truth be told, far too many Christians are living under a rock and don’t know what’s going on in the real world; they are building barns in which to store their goodies and building banking accounts with an eye to the future – which is fast fading away. They think – like the man at the end of this article, that they are going to live in the present forever.

Other detractors of the true God are popping up all over the place as well. These are headed by Baphomet (the devil) and Beyoncé idol worshipers. Isn’t Satan devious? He can even appear as an angel of light. Somehow or another we’ve forgotten a verse of scripture that says, “As it was in the days of Noah, so shall it be at the coming of the Son of Man.”

We of recent generations have let Christian liberty slip like water through our fingers because of apathy and political correctness. Sadly, the church is asleep at the wheel, and it may not be long before we careen headlong into the dark abyss of hell which is referred to as the Great Tribulation in Holy writ.

If I’ve learned anything in this life, it is that life (aside from the Bible) is unpredictable, and mankind is gullible. God, however, will lead you into all truth through the Holy Spirit if you will repent of your sinful and willful indifference to His Word and begin to read it prayerfully and thoughtfully.

Meanwhile, at my mission station, I managed to talk to and pray with two men at the Naples pier. I was talking to these two fellows at the end of the pier while seated in the breezeway there. We were talking about the state of the nation among other provocative and interesting things; and when I was getting ready to leave, I stood up and faced the two men, having been led to address Bill. After listening to his tale of woe, I said, “Bill, I’m going to pray for you tonight.” To which he answered, “But I’m an atheist.” Immediately, I said, “That’s ok Bill – God doesn’t discriminate.” The other man seated next to Bill just stood there transfixed as words failed him.

The following day, as I walked onto the pier, I happened upon a man who has been living in the community for over forty years and is a legend here in Naples. He is known for his eccentricity and devil-may-care attitude about life – even though he is approaching his eighties.

In talking to him about this fragile life, this man tried to appear to be ditzy, answering my inquiries with mumbo jumbo – it wasn’t working. He had tried every tactic to get me off his back, but I felt he was worth saving since he wasn’t harming anyone but only deceiving himself that his wealthy, laid-back life was going to last forever.

After laughing at his jokes and comedic jargon, I got down to brass tacks, stood up and prayed for him – asking that God would open his eyes to see the folly of his ways in ignoring God and his own mortality.

Note:

The wildfires in California could be God’s way of bringing people to Himself. After all, who are the victims going to call on – Baphomet, Allah, Buddha, the pope, Obama? – None of these can save, and it could be that this is God’s doing in order for people to look to Him for help in this sticky situation – a situation from which there is no escape for those without Christ. Also, on the world stage, it looks like war is imminent between Israelis and Palestinians.

Honesty, Integrity, Virtue :: By Jim Towers

There was a time when a man’s word was his bond. Men sealed a deal with a handshake, and it was considered a bad thing to lie, back out, or “walk back” on exclamations and or agreements. George Soros and the Democrats are experts in this vice.

(The word used to describe integrity escaped me even as I wrote this article. That’s how antiquated it’s become.) Nowadays there are no holds barred, and everyone does as he pleases, destroying others’ lives and property – integrity is obsolete.

Backbiting and lies are the chosen values in our society. Bribery and blackmail are practiced openly in our government. Where are the leaders, statesmen and men of conviction and character?

In today’s world, all that is over and done. One thing that I’ve finally found out is that Christians are not exempt from doing the things people do in a secular society. Jealousy and seething envy abound; sexual sin is rampant; apathy is at an all-time high; morality hardly exists; and honesty, integrity, and virtue are almost nonexistent in our present world.

The Bible tells us that God knows our shortcomings. “For there is non-righteous, no not one. For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God.” Is it any wonder Jesus had to come and die for our sins? Humanity certainly can’t or sometimes doesn’t even want to try to live up to the Godly standards He set forth.

Could it be that those not even trying to live a virtuous life are void of the Holy Spirit? Is God taking the comforter, revealer of truth and strengthener away from the world at large – incrementally? If so, maybe we have to beg Him to come into our lives to help us make sense of it all and be able to stand.  Or we can ignore the Holy Spirit’s prompting and, by our own futile efforts and philosophy, just be able to feebly hang on? “Ask God for the Holy Spirit” whose fruits are Love, Joy, Faith and Self Control.

Today, 10/24/18, there were supposed bomb threats and poisoned letters mailed out to prominent Democrats, Soros, and CNN – supposedly from some deranged conservative – so the story goes. This is – in my opinion – a last-ditch attempt to discredit conservatism and Christianity. Also, the march of supposed thousands from third-world countries is also timed to coincide with the midterm elections. Was this a coincidence or a perfectly timed event? I’ll give you three guesses, and the first two don’t count.

These coincidences are taken directly from the Saul Alinsky playbook where the followers of that ideology are told to lie, cheat and do anything to further their agenda. These are the worst of times.

The crazy times we live in are even sung about these days. The chosen lyrics to this song say it all. The vocalist Sage Francis sings it with the heartfelt plaintive voice of a naive juvenile.

Tonight’s the night we’ll make history, honey, you and I
And I’ll take any risk to tie back the hands of time
And stay with you here tonight
I know you feel these are the worst of times
I do believe it’s true
When people lock their doors and hide inside
Rumor has it it’s the end of Paradise
But I know, if the world just passed us by
Baby I know, you wouldn’t have to cry

The headlines read ‘these are the worst of times’
I do believe it’s true
I feel so helpless like a boat against the tide
I wish the summer winds could bring back Paradise
But I know, if the world turned upside down
Baby, I know you’d always be around

And so my friends, we’ll say goodnight

For time has claimed it’s prize
But tonight will always last
As long as we keep alive memories of Paradise…

The Best of Times lyrics © Wixen Music Publishing

Almost without exemption, everyone now believes something is happening in our world, something frightening, something that can’t be controlled by man’s own means or devices. Soon the world may become “foaming at the mouth” mad.

“Trust in the Lord with all thine heart and lean not unto your own understanding.” “The just shall live by faith.” And “Love thy neighbor as thyself. “
