Christian Mandate from the Lord Jesus:
Share the Gospel With Every Creature
Blind 63 year old Gail Blair Ordered to STOP sharing Gospel of Jesus!
She sued ...

Rhode Island USA Bans Blind Gail Blair [63] From Public Park for Street Preaching Jesus as She Handed Out the Bible's Gospel of John
6-17-20, Rhode Island USA, (TargetLiberty.org) – FREEDOM OF RELIGION IS #1 IN THE CONSTITUTION, yet one association singled out 63 year old blind woman Gail Blair of Westerly, RI, who is a member of the Pocket Testament League for exercising her freedom of speech and religion rights.
Rhode Island officials gave Ms Blair a two-year ban from her local park and library because she shared Jesus with the Bible's Gospel of John to anyone who was interested. Now the Memorial and Library Association who runs the park and Westerly Library, says she can’t do that anymore.
Apparently some library association members called the police complaining that Ms Blair was “accosting” park visitors. Last July 2019, the Westerly PD asked her to leave the park and informed her that she was trespassing. On Tuesday, June 17, 2020 Ms Blair, represented by law firms First Liberty Institute and William Wray Jr. and Adler Pollock & Sheehan P.C., filed a discrimination complaint with the Rhode Island Commission for Human Rights against the library association. In the complaint, Ms Blair, who worked as a nurse until 1991 and suffered from a disorder that caused gradual vision loss, says she was banned “because of [the Associations’s] unlawful discrimination against me on the basis of my disability and my religious beliefs.”

The 1838 speech by young 28 yr old Abe Lincoln certainly parallels to America today ...
He spoke of savage mobs from New England to Louisiana.
In 2020 we have savage mobs from Minnesota to California and parts in between!
The USA is committing suicide just like he feared.
Abraham Lincoln Speech, Springfield, Illinois, Jan 27, 1838 [excerpt] ..." In the great journal of things happening under the sun, we, the American People, find our account running, under date of the nineteenth century of the Christian era. We find ourselves in the peaceful possession, of the fairest portion of the earth, as regards extent of territory, fertility of soil, and salubrity of climate. We find ourselves under the government of a system of political institutions, conducing more essentially to the ends of civil and religious liberty, than any of which the history of former times tells us. We, when mounting the stage of existence, found ourselves the legal inheritors of these fundamental blessings. We toiled not in the acquirement or establishment of them--they are a legacy bequeathed us, by a once hardy, brave, and patriotic, but now lamented and departed race of ancestors. Their's was the task (and nobly they performed it) to possess themselves, and through themselves, us, of this goodly land; | and to uprear upon its hills and its valleys, a political edifice of liberty and equal rights; 'tis ours only, to transmit these, the former, unprofaned by the foot of an invader; the latter, undecayed by the lapse of time and untorn by usurpation, to the latest generation that fate shall permit the world to know. This task of gratitude to our fathers, justice to ourselves, duty to posterity, and love for our species in general, all imperatively require us faithfully to perform. How then shall we perform it? At what point shall we expect the approach of danger? By what means shall we fortify against it? Shall we expect some transatlantic military giant, to step the Ocean, and crush us at a blow? Never! All the armies of Europe, Asia and Africa combined, with all the treasure of the earth (our own excepted) in their military chest; with a Bonaparte for a commander, could not by force, take a drink from the Ohio, or make a track on the Blue Ridge, in a trial of a thousand years. | At what point then is the approach of danger to be expected? I answer, if it ever reach us, it must spring up amongst us. It cannot come from abroad. If destruction be our lot, we must ourselves be its author and finisher. As a nation of freemen, we must live through all time, or die by suicide! I hope I am over wary; but if I am not, there is, even now, something of ill-omen, amongst us. I mean the increasing disregard for law which pervades the country; the growing disposition to substitute the wild and furious passions, in lieu of the sober judgment of Courts; and the worse than savage mobs, for the executive ministers of justice. This disposition is awfully fearful in any community; and that it now exists in ours, though grating to our feelings to admit, it would be a violation of truth, and an insult to our intelligence, to deny. Accounts of outrages committed by mobs, form the every-day news of the times. They have pervaded the country, from New England to Louisiana..." |
No Time For Timid Faith!
Wail for the day of the Lord is near; as destruction from the Almighty it will come. The Lord comes, cruel, with wrath and fierce anger, to make the land a desolation and to destroy its sinners from it!
6-18-20, Archives of David Wilkerson 2010 AD -- Take a look at the current condition of the USA and the world. What do you see? Christ’s prophecy is being fulfilled before our very eyes: “On the earth distress of nations, with perplexity … men’s hearts failing them from fear and the expectation of those things which are coming on the earth, for the powers of the heavens will be shaken” (Luke 21:25-26).
The apostle Paul speaks of this time: “When they say, ‘Peace and safety!’ then sudden destruction comes upon them” (1 Thessalonians 5:3). Paul is describing a people who live smugly and securely, boasting, “We’ve achieved success and peace. Everything is going along just fine.” Yet, at the very moment people feel most secure, destruction comes. Suddenly, the security they cherished vanishes and society is overwhelmed by fear.
[Note: In 2020 before the Covid virus scare, most Americans did feel safe and secure as President Trump's plans were succeeding ... then disaster struck with the virus lockdown and now the rioting and mayhem. Yet we are not to fear as God’s strong delusion may be in effect ... 2 Thessalonians 10-12 and if not - He still isn't surprised at the wicked behaviors of the God haters and baby killers in America. All will be well we have the peace that passes understanding. Philippians 4:7 Hallelujah!--Annette]
Our Captain, The Lord Jesus is calling us to stand up in the midst of a fearful society and engage in “power faith.” We are to make the declaration: “God sent me before you to … save your lives by a great deliverance” (Genesis 45:7). When the world is reeling from disasters, with sorrows mounting on all sides, God will be calling forth faithful soldiers who have been trained for battle. These devoted men and women have endured trials and emerged with a sure faith. The power of God rests on them. Such power may not be seen on a grand scale; it may be seen only in simple ways: a smile in a sea of frowns, a peaceful demeanor in turmoil no fear in mind and body as others tremble.
Joel 2:1, 11, 30-31; Isaiah 13:6, 17:12; Ezekiel 32:7; Luke 21:24; 1 Thessalonians 5:2; 2 Peter 3:10
Even so, come Lord Jesus. Revelation 22:20

NATO was created in 1949 when Soviets were a threat ...
Is Russia still a threat? Does the world need NATO?
6-17-20, Scott Ritter* - By calling out Germany for failing to pay its fair share of the cost of North Atlantic Treaty Org [NATO], US President Donald Trump has challenged the legitimacy of the foundational premise upon which the alliance was built. This is a good thing. Experts now speculate that a second term for Pres Trump could fatally weaken NATO the transatlantic alliance that has been since 1949 charged with deterring the perceived Russian aggression since the end of the Second World War. The Trump administration has announced it will withdraw some 9,500 troops from Germany as punishment for Berlin’s failure to raise its required contribution to defense spending of two percent of its GDP. | Pres Trump’s actions, and the concerns of the international academics about the possible demise of NATO, are perhaps best evaluated by NATO’s first secretary general in 1952 - Lord Ismay said that the purpose of alliance was “to keep the Russians out, the Americans in, and the Germans down." [..] This relentless search for an enemy worthy of a transatlantic alliance [NATO] has brought the world full circle ... Russia is neither seeking nor is prepared for a major conflict with the West, and yet the NATO alliance problems that don't exist. “Keeping Russia out” has never been a problem – Russia never wanted in.

6-16-20, DW.com -- On June 15, 2020 US President Donald Trump said the USA is reducing the number of American troops deployed in Germany accusing Berlin of being "delinquent" in its contribution to NATO. He said: "We're protecting Germany and they're delinquent. That doesn't make sense; the deployment of US troops comes at a tremendous cost to the United States. [USA $686 billion in 2017; Germany $45 bln - CNBC report here]
Russia is no threat; no need for NATO In addition to projecting a non-existent Soviet desire to occupy Western Europe, the US manufactured so-called “missile gaps” and “bomber gaps” that fueled an arms race with the Soviets of its own making. The US needed NATO as a justification for priming a post-war military industrial complex that underpinned American economic viability, and NATO needed a Russian threat to justify its continued existence. From George H.W. Bush through to Barack Obama; only Donald Trump has refused to play their game. Trump has envisioned a world where the US and Russia could get along as friends, calling out the hypocrisy of the US ... | continuing to pay the lion’s share of a bloated NATO budget, and re-examining America’s relationship with the world in a context other than simply preserving 75-year-old “rules,” Trump has challenged the very foundation of legitimacy NATO has manufactured for itself. It has taken the Trump administration four years to strip away the veneer of legitimacy surrounding NATO. If re-elected, the reality is that a Trump administration, given four more years, will tear down the entire NATO edifice. Given that NATO was born on a false premise that has been artificially sustained for nearly 70 years, such an outcome cannot come soon enough. |
What Does Defund the Police Really Mean? 6-14-20, TheAtlantic -- 'Defund the Police' Does Not Mean Defund the Police. Although the protesters explicitly, and without a doubt sincerely, have said they no longer wanted any police in their neighborhoods. They say “Defund the police” but it does not mean defunding the police, except when it does, whether next week or in the next decade. One observer who insists on taking the phrase both seriously and literally is Joe Biden. On Monday the presumptive Democrat nominee hastened to let American voters know that he doesn’t like the idea, whatever it is... | <-- Biden himself was recently tripped up by a literal reading of the slogan “Believe women.” Many of his supporters joined him in insisting the words be taken merely seriously, to mean “Believe women, but not Tara Reade his accuser.” The number of activists, partisans, and politicians who hop back and forth across the literal/serious divide—saying something with no expectation they will be taken at their word—will only grow this season. The spectacle raises the obvious question of how we should take them: seriously, or literally? The answer, of course, is neither. | MS Gov Reeves says efforts to defund police make no sense 6-8-20, Mississippi Gov Tate Reeves said, "We are a nation of laws. We must stand up and protect those who get up and put on the uniform every single day to protect our families. So the notion that we're going to defund the police makes no sense. In fact, we ought to be talking about and having a conversation about spending more money on police. Many times, these incidents are occurring because you're putting police officers in a situation in which they have fear because they don't have proper backup and, in many instances, proper training." |

Sunday, June 21, 2020: Rare Ring of Fire Eclipse from Book of Joshua to Appear Over Israel
"the sun stood still & the moon stayed until the people had avenged themselves upon their enemies [the Amorites]. Is not this written in the book of Jasher? So the sun stood still in the midst of heaven & hasted not to go down about a whole day. And there was no day like that before it or after it, that the LORD hearkened unto the voice of a man [Joshua]: for the LORD fought for Israel."
History: On August 21, 2017 the complete solar eclipse transversed the continental United States many believe it ushered in the most devastating hurricane season in US history. Eclipse of the Sun is considered a bad omen.
Sunday, June 21, 2020, 7:26 to 9:26 am in Israel
Annular Solar Eclipse Will Occur
6-16-20, Breaking Israel News -- A rare annular solar eclipse will appear in the heavens over Israel on Sunday, June 21, 2020. According to experts, this type of eclipse described as a “ring of fire” was responsible for Israel's victory under Joshua against the Amorites and the miraculous ‘stopping of the sun’ during battle exactly 3,227 years ago.
The eclipse will be visible in appx 37 mile wide path traversing Israel, Africa, Pakistan, India and China. It will be visible in Israel for two hours from 7:26 AM to 9:26 AM local time, reaching its peak one hour later about 8:26 AM and disappear at 9:26 AM. The sun will be 99% obscured by the moon, making the sun’s corona appear as a "ring of fire" [Zechariah 2:5] around the dark circle of the moon.
In its discussion of eclipses, the Hebrew Talmud that is commentative and interpretative writings that hold a place in the Jewish religious tradition (Sukkot 29a) specifically described solar eclipses as being a bad omen for the nations who base their calendars on the solar cycle. “When Israel does the will of the place (God), they have nothing to fear from all of this,” citing the Prophet Jeremiah as a source. [Jeremiah 23:3; Zechariah 1:12, 16] Thus said Hashem [God]: Do not learn to go the way of the nations, And do not be dismayed by portents in the sky; Let the nations be dismayed by them! Jeremiah 10:2
Researchers Attribute the Bible Account of the Sun Stopping for Joshua to an Annular Eclipse: In a paper published in the scientific Journal Astronomy and Geophysics in 2017, researchers from England’s Cambridge University confirmed a theory first suggested by Israel's Ben Gurion University researchers: that Joshua’s miraculous ‘stopping of the sun’ during a battle to allow the Israelites more time to defeat their enemies was actually an annular solar eclipse. They even pinpointed the exact date – the afternoon of October 30, precisely 3,224 years ago when Joshua led the Israelites into battle with the armies of five kings in order to help the besieged Gibeonites, with whom they had signed a peace pact. In the battle as the Israelites began to gain the upper hand, Joshua prayed for the sun and the moon to stand still in order to complete the defeat. His prayers were answered. Joshua 10:13 --> | <-- The Cambridge researchers understood this passage as an important historical account: “Modern English translations, which follow the King James translation of 1611 Bible, usually interpret this text to mean that the sun and moon stopped moving, but going back to the original Hebrew text, we determined that an alternative meaning could be that the sun and moon just stopped doing what they normally do: they stopped shining. In this context, the Hebrew words could be referring to a solar eclipse, when the moon passes between the earth and the sun and the sun appears to stop shining.” He added that the interpretation was supported by the fact that the Hebrew word meaning ‘stand still’ shares a root with a Babylonian word describing eclipses found in ancient astronomical texts. |
The Ben Gurion study based its conclusion on how it was even described in the Book of Joshua as being an annular eclipse because the Bible specifies that the moon was also involved. [As described above, an annular eclipse occurs when the moon passes in between the sun and the earth.] They interpreted the word “dom,” which only occurs one other time in the Bible (Psalms 37:7), not as “stand still,” which is how it is traditionally read, but to mean “become dark.” Their research revealed that there was only one total solar eclipse that occurred in the region between the years 1500-1000 BC, when the Israelites are believed to have entered the land. | The eclipse allowed them to date the battle precisely to 4:28 p.m. on October 30, 1207 BC. With the help of the Merneptah Stele, an Egyptian artifact which independently confirms the Israelites’ presence in Canaan, historians have dated Joshua’s entry into the land to between 1500 and 1050 BC. Using complex calculations, the researchers determined that the only annular eclipse visible from the Canaan during that period took place in October of 1207 BC. The path of this eclipse passed directly over Canaan. *Excerpted and adapted full original report here |
You Cannot Be 'Racist' Against White People 2-28-20, DailyDot -- New York Times did not fire the racist because of her series of old, now-deleted tweets, by Sarah Jeong where she had used the hashtag #CancelWhitePeople, contemplated the idea if whites were “only fit to live underground like groveling goblins” because of their propensity for sunburn, compared “dumbass f—–g white people” to dogs, and called “old white men lemmings.” The paper's response to Jeong stands in sharp contrast to the whole host of other employees who have been fired by their companies for spewing hate-filled language. This year alone, both Papa John’s founder, John Schnatter and Roseanne Barr were fired after what was perceived as hate language. Schnatter for using the n-word, Rosanne for anti-Semitic comment. --> | <--The Times also made headlines when it fired reporter Norton Quinn after his old tweets surfaced using derogatory names for African-Americans and gays and also touting friendships with neo-Nazis. So why is the paper standing by Jeong? The simple answer: Because Quinn is white and Jeong is a person of color. The Truth about Anti-White Discrimination 7-18-19, ScientificAmerican -- As our politics have fractured increasingly around race, there seems to be more and more confusion about who’s discriminating against whom. For example, a national survey reported that both blacks and whites believed that discrimination against blacks had declined over the past few decades, but whites believed that discrimination against whites was now more common than discrimination against blacks. | Racism against whites - American Thinker 8-8-18, American Thinker -- Unless you've been asleep for the past couple of years, you've been aware of a tsunami of racism directed against white people. The accepted racism against whites narrative goes like this: white people are inherently evil, they have caused nothing but destruction and misery, nothing good is possible from them. The white racism is principally being stoked by leftist young whites, if not outright communist whites. True, there have been some blacks and some Latinos expressing this racism, but it is principally by leftist whites. Some of these statements by liberals are so bizarre, so disgusting, that one could be excused in thinking they came from certifiable psychotics. An infuriating thing about conservatives is that many do not fight back... sigh. |
No False Witness
“Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor.”
6-15-20, Henry Morris, PhD -- There are several important and very specific words used in this commandment not to tell falsehoods. [Exodus 20:16] An expanded translation could well be: “Do not purposely intend to injure or plan to deceive others by repeating a damaging report about one with whom you have established a relationship.”
The very idea of a lie originated with the great enemy, Satan (John 8:44; 1 John 2:21), no doubt rendering the lying tongue an abomination to God (Proverbs 6:17-19; 12:22).
The willing false witness will not escape punishment (Proverbs 19:5, 9). Indeed, such a person may die prematurely (Acts 5:4-10).
Untruth is not overlooked by God. In fact, those who are “liars” by practice will likely [unless they repent and turn to the Lord Jesus, Luke 13:3] wind up in hell (Revelation 21:8, 27; 22:15).
While the focus of this commandment prohibits a “formal” false witness against someone—which would result in damage to their person, property, or reputation—the biblical applications are many and varied. Our holy God hates a false witness.
So-called “half truths” are not godly, either. Flattery and hypocrisy are wrong (Psalm 12:1-3; Proverbs 29:5), as are malicious joking and jesting (Proverbs 26:18-19; Ephesians 5:4). Even deceptive refusals are considered ungodly behavior (Proverbs 3:27-29; 1 John 3:17-18). And, of course, slander, gossip, and “tale bearing” are wrong (Psalm 101:5).
Those who name the name of Jesus Christ are, simply, to speak the truth (Ephesians 4:25), render sound judgment (1 Corinthians 6:1-5), and not to enter into a plot to do evil (Zechariah 7:9-10; Romans 12:9, 17, 21). Our “yes” and our “no” are to be precise and accurate (James 5:12). Source

Christian Street Preachers Enter Seattle’s Autonomous zone:
One was attacked ... 'Stop choking me!’
At the border of the autonomous zone, a man was armed with a .50-caliber Desert Eagle.
In the video, a man wearing a red bandanna on his face can be heard telling the preacher, “You’ll die out here bro. Do you wanna die out here?” The preacher responded, “Sin is worse than death.” The same people who protested police brutality in the past few weeks, especially chokeholds, were the same ones choking the preacher because he didn’t obey their orders. The preacher screamed, “You’re choking me!” One person in the CHAZ didn’t believe the street preacher should be expelled from the autonomous zone, and he was immediately called a “f***king Nazi sympathizer.” The man in the red bandanna screams at white people for “not being allies” in the Black Lives Matter movement. |
According to Andy Ngo, editor-at-large at The Post Millennial, a man stole the preacher’s speaker. “A prominent Antifa militant in the Portland area,” Luis Marquez, was at the autonomous zone. “The only time we are heard is when we burn s*** down. And if white America doesn’t want to get it right they’re gonna see more burning, more looting.”

Mainstream media downplays 'insanity in Seattle' 6-3-20, FOX NEWS -- Seattle protesters have declared a six-block area “Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone,” aka CHAZ, blocking entrance with armed guards. However, the mainstream media doesn’t seem to think the lawlessness is particularly newsworthy. On 6-3-20, Weds CNN only mentioned “Seattle” once when discussing general unrest in major cities, MSNBC didn’t cover Seattle on-air at all during the same time period. According to Media Research Center news analyst Nicholas Fondacaro both networks finally addressed the situation early on Thursday, but only to comment on President Trump tweeting about it and the evening newscasts on ABC, NBC and CBS didn’t mention “autonomous zone” through Wednesday, He said, “It has been days since this nonsense had started and the broadcast networks -- ABC, CBS, and NBC -- have kept it off the air. The networks were busy trying to make the recent nationwide protests seem reasonable by ignoring radical provocations such as the 'autonomous zone.' | Anarchy in Seattle 6-1-20, CITY JOURNAL -- Seattle's hard-Left secessionist movement has claimed its first territory: six blocks in the Capitol Hill neighborhood. For the past week, Black Lives Matter and Antifa-affiliated activists have engaged in a pitched battle with Seattle police officers and National Guard soldiers in the neighborhood, with the heaviest conflict occurring at the intersection of 11th and Pike, where law enforcement had constructed a barricade to defend the Seattle Police East Precinct building. Hoping to break through the barricade, protesters attacked officers with bricks, bottles, rocks, and improvised explosive devices, sending some officers to the hospital. At the same time, activists circulated videos of the conflict and accused the police of brutality, demanding that the city cease using teargas and other anti-riot techniques. Then, in a stunning turn of events, the City of Seattle made the decision to abandon the East Precinct police department surrendering the neighborhood to the rioters. |
US In Moral Freefall
As Everyone Does What Is Right In Their Own Eyes
"In those days Israel had no king; all the people
did whatever seemed right in their own eyes."
Judges 17:6, 18:1, 19:1, 21:25; Deuteronomy 12:8; Psalm 12:4, 73:9 6-15-20, * -- The conclusion of Len Munsil, President of the Cultural Research Center at Arizona Christian University comments: "The consequences of rejecting God's truth are undeniable. We know that what we believe dictates how we behave. Today, we are seeing the moral breakdown permeating the culture around us, and it is playing out with devastating consequences in our culture." The new Barna Group poll revealed 58 percent of respondents said they look to themselves or other people when making moral decisions. Less than one third said that they look to God of the Holy Bible. A total of 58% of U.S. adults agreed that identifying moral truth is up to each individual; there are no constant moral absolutes applying everyone; and sadly, 48 percent of adults who identified as born-again Christians agreed. The Cultural Research Center also found that the type of church the person attends often corresponded with their answer. People associated with a mainline Protestant congregation were most likely to rely upon themselves for moral wisdom (34%) Catholics were most likely to turn to other people (34%). Evangelical church attendees (72%), Pentecostal church attendees (70%) and born-again Christians (69%) were among the most likely to say God is the basis of all truth. Political conservatives were also most likely to rely upon the Bible (40%), while moderates (17%) and liberals (11%) were least likely, instead relying on their own feelings, beliefs, and knowledge for moral direction. Most troubling the moral views of the youngest generation indicate this downward moral trajectory and is likely to continue. Americans age 18 to 29 are least likely--only 15%--to turn to the Bible for moral guidance and instead look to themselves (29%) or to family (25%). This compares with about one-quarter of older Americans, including 23% of those ages 30 to 49, 25% of those 50 to 64, and 26% of those over 64. However, a sizeable percentage of young people still look to their family for moral guidance. It's important for parents and other family members to look for opportunities to share moral truth. | Dr. George Barna said that he was not surprised at the results of the survey as he has observed America's departure from its historic religious foundational moorings for decades he said: "The restoration of biblical truth can facilitate the turnaround of a declining society. It starts with churches relentlessly and consistently teaching biblical truth principles for practical application within all dimensions of life. It requires churches equipping parents to teach those truth principles to their children. It demands parents placing their young people in educational, relational, and entertainment environments where God's truth principles are respected and practiced. It advances by electing public officials who pass civil laws in harmony with God's religious Law. Restoring our foundations will be neither easy nor quick, but such a turnaround can happen if a remnant of God's people devotes themselves to such a process of cultural deliverance." Why Would God Spare America When He Did Not Spare Israel? God said: “When I would have healed Israel, then the iniquity of Ephraim was discovered & the wickedness of Samaria: for they commit falsehood; & the thief cometh in, & the troop of robbers spoileth without... & they consider not in their hearts that I remember all their wickedness: now their own doings have beset them about; they are before My face. They make the king glad with their wickedness & the princes with their lies. V10The pride of Israel testifieth to his face: and they do not return to the LORD their God, nor seek Him for all this. v13 Woe unto them! for they have fled from Me: destruction unto them! because they have transgressed against Me: though I have redeemed them, yet they have spoken lies against Me.” Hosea 7:1-16 *Excerpted and adapted full original message from Prophecy Watch here |
'Gone With the Wind' fans march on social media to shame ban 8-28-18, USAToday -- The American movie "Gone With the Wind" is gone from a Memphis theater — despite a 34-year tradition — and now social media opponents are shaming its ban. The Orpheum Theatre canceled a long-running screening of GWTW because of "racially insensitive content" in the 1939 film, which won eight Oscars and was based on a Pulitzer Prize-winning 1936 book of the same name. The film's fans, free-expression supporters and Dixie sympathizers are furious about the decision and shouting out on social media against "whiny" and PC-obsessed liberals they blame for the decision they said:
| Why Orwell’s Book '1984' could be about modern times 5-7-18, BBC -- Audiences around the world are re-reading George Orwell’s novel '1984,' that is a handbook published June 8, 1949 about an all consuming overreaching big government. It speaks of totalitarianism and attempts to change the way people even think and remember history: Doublethink (holding two contradictory thoughts at the same time), Newspeak, the Thought Police, the Ministry of Love that deals in pain, despair and annihilates any dissident, the Ministry of Peace that wages war, the novel-writing machines that pump out pornography to buy off the masses: Orwell opened our eyes to how regimes worked as cameras were everywhere 'Big Brother' was watching 24/7. Today as we read the book we have anxious apprehension, using it to measure what our nations and the world have become. Prophetic? Possibly. But stirring, moving, creative, undeniable and helpful? Yes, as it was written out of the battered landscape of total war, in a nation hungry, tired and grey, feels more relevant than ever before, because Orwell’s 1984 also arms us. | 70 years after 1984: How today compares with Orwell’s ... 6-13-19, MilwaukeeIndependent -- George Orwell, published “1984,” now generally considered a classic of dystopian fiction in 1949. The novel tells the story of Winston Smith, a hapless middle-aged bureaucrat who lives in Oceania. Even though there's no laws, there's a police force, with posters constantly reminding that “Big Brother Is Watching You.” Smith works at the Ministry of Truth, and his job is to rewrite history and newspaper reports of the past to conform with the present reality. The society portrayed in 1984 is one in which social control is exercised through disinformation [fake news media!] and surveillance [now drones]. The techniques and technologies described in the novel are very much present in our current world. One of the key technologies of surveillance in the novel is the “telescreen,” a device very much like our own television. The telescreen displays a single channel of news, propaganda and wellness programming... *** NO laws in Oceania?? Big Brother is Watching?? |
It's Not a Black vs White Matter
It's a spiritual matter ... God is the "JUDGE!"
God said, "What nation is so great as to have righteous statutes and ordinances like this entire law I set before you today?" vs 7 ...the LORD abides forever; He has established His throne for judgment."
6-11-20, 🌷 Black Lives Matter & Defund the Police are not easy subjects for pastors to approach, because they are emotive. Pastor Steve Cioccolanti points us to the Holy Bible to heal the political divide and deal with the painful issues.
In the days of the Hebrews wandering in the wilderness they had disagreements and issues requiring a lawful solution ... they had no police - today we need more of the Lord Jesus and obedience to God's statutes and precepts and less of selfish mankind. Violation to God's command #9 ... liars besmirching all that's good in the USA law enforcement has horrible effects on the good that is America.
God's Ten Commandments [Exodus 20:1-17; Deuteronomy 5:1] were designed for Israel’s immediate blessing by setting forth righteous principles that would show them how to love God and their fellow man thus producing a stable and secure society as well as a testimony to the nations (Deuteronomy. 4:6-8).
The Mosaic Law represented an ethical code given by God to govern mankind until the coming of Messiah the Lord Jesus Christ representing God's moral laws and righteous principles vital to a harmonious humanity.
Today the righteous principles, the eternal laws of God, have been carried over and are part of the law of the Spirit of life in Christ (Romans 8:2, 4) or the law of Christ (1 Corinthians 9:21; Galatians 6:2). The end of the Mosaic law, including the Ten Commandments, does not cancel or detract one iota from the eternal moral law of God. The moral principles of the ten laws did not begin with Sinai, but are as eternal and immutable as the character of God. To understand this should dispel the fears of those who think the abolition of the Mosaic law leaves only a state of lawlessness. The moral principles embodied in God's Law shows that such principles are the goal of the born again Christian's Spirit-directed life.
The nations function under a Babylonian system of justice ...

Seattle: “The state is not abolished, it withers away.” 6-13-20, TheHill -- So far the greatest achievement of the rioters/anarchists in Seattle, is that the government seems to have just melted away, not just for Chaz, but in all of Seattle. We are witnessing what Frederick Engels [1] once foretold as the goal of Marxism: “The state is not abolished, it withers away.” [..] CHAZ rioters “demand abolition” of the police, criminal justice system, gentrification of cities and a growing list of other actions. It is the talk of the town where "occupants" of the city [clearly not all are US citizens] are pushing for the free delivery of everything from cigarettes to body lotion and--> | <-- basking in the relative clarity of anarchy.

We do not request reform, we demand abolition. We demand that the Seattle Council and the Mayor defund and abolish the Seattle Police Department and the attached Criminal Justice Apparatus. This means 100% of funding, including existing pensions for Seattle Police. |

Drawing from the Source
God said, “For My people have committed two evils; they have forsaken Me the fountain of living waters and hewed them out broken cisterns that can hold no water.”
Jeremiah 2:13; John 14:6 6-13-20, For born again [John 3:3, 7] believers in Christ Jesus our contentment should be governed by inner attitude and the decisions we make rather than by external circumstances. The Apostle Paul understood what it meant to live in Christ and to have Christ living in him (John 15:1-9; Gal. 5:22-23). He had made a simple but profound faith decision to draw his life from the Lord. As a result, although greatly persecuted and imprisoned, he had inner calm assurance that – as a child of the Almighty he had full access to the abundant life Jesus offers; regardless of current circumstances. When we draw only from Him as our source rather than from our flesh, feelings and outside influence … the Lord Jesus gives us His peace with the ability to respond as He would. Hallelujah!

Wicked Mankind Is Due for a Comeuppance
6-13-20, It's foolish for modern mankind to believe that, although God harshly punished: [Luke 17:26-30]
- the Hebrews for their blasphemies and disobedience [Jeremiah 17:5]
- hurled fire and brimstone on Sodom & Gomorrah [Genesis 19:24]
- flooded Noah's earth [Genesis 8:13]

The Christian Church is Alive and Well 10-17-19, Glen Stanton -- Pew reports that nondenominational churches gain roughly five new members for every one it loses. Likely most of these are folks leaving the liberalizing mainline swamps for more solid ground of actual teaching from God's Holy Word reject the social and prosperity blather. Thousands now worship online as the liberal congregations are not acceptable. Evangelicals now constitute a clear majority (55 percent) of all US Protestants. [..] It’s very much a good news story and one that needs more telling. | The Christian Church is Growing The good news is that the Church is still growing in Europe and North America. The increase is small, but there is increase. Since 1900 the Church in Europe has seen a 52.2 per cent increase, rising from 368,254,000 in 1900 to 559,900,000 in 2015. Despite increasing secularisation in Europe & the USA, the Church is standing fast and atheism is on the decline. May God help us regain faith & confidence in Him, His people & in His Gospel of the good news of salvation only possible through repentance & faith in the Lord Jesus. John 14:6 |
Four Possible Conclusions Who Jesus Christ Was
The Quest for Historical Jesus
"Who do you say that I Am?
Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I am.”
For in Him the whole fullness of deity dwells bodily."
Matthew 16:15; John 8:58; Colossians 2:9 1942, C. S. Lewis* -- There are four possible conclusions we may make regarding the man/God Jesus Christ he was:
Which was He? The only logical conclusion is that Jesus was the Son of God:
After daily closely observing His life, His disciples reached their conclusions: ‘You are the Christ, the Son of the living God!’ Matthew 16:16 |

National Guardsmen found glass in pizza
6-11-20, NYPost - Soldiers given food spiked with shards of broken glass! Two National Guardsmen were delivered a pizza containing shards of glass baked into the dough and cheese.
National Guard soldiers found glass in pizza 6-11-20, FoxNews -- National Guardsmen while deployed to protect innocent citizens in Washington DC were served food with shards of glass baked into it. Some 1,500 troops from South Carolina, Indiana, Maryland and Tennessee were sent to the capital last week to reinforce 1,300 members of the DC National Guard deployed to assist law enforcement with restoring order, as George Floyd protests escalated into looting and arson for several nights. When two of the South Carolina soldiers ordered pizza delivered to the Marriott Marquis Hotel, where they were staying, they found shards of glass baked inside. They did not eat the pizza and were not injured. | Report: Glass found in South Carolina National Guard soldiers 6-11-20, MilitaryTimes.com -- Thousands of National Guard soldiers headed to Washington DC in light of protests following the death of George Floyd caused by police officer Derick Chauvin who is in custody charged with second degree murder in Minneapolis and subsequent rioting, looting & mayhem. While deployed in Washington, D.C., two soldiers with the South Carolina National Guard discovered glass in their pizza. The service members are okay. It was a single incident. Their command said the Soldiers were advised to file a report with local police department. From my understanding they chose not to. |

Candace Owens Shreds Dems For Kneeling ‘Photo Op’ In ‘African ... 6-9-20, DailyWire --Nancy Pelosi and other prominent Democrats took a knee attempting to show solidarity with the radical Black Lives Matter that currently are causing chaos & mayhem as they participate rioting, looting & arson around the country. The Dems announced police reforms in a bill dubbed the “Justice in Policing Act.” Many black conservatives & liberals alike are appalled at this show of stupidity ... one said: "Don't treat Africans like we're children." Candace Owens said: “I thought there was at least one or two things that the Democrats wouldn’t stoop to for the black vote, but there's apparently nothing. Dressing in African garb & getting on their knees for a photo op because it’s Monday & only 4 months to November.” | Ex- Elizabeth Warren Surrogate Blasts White Democrats for Pandering 'this has to be hell ...' 6-9-20, FoxNews -- Recently Democrat leader Nancy Pelosi with several other Democrats donned African patterned scarves kneeling in what appeared to be prayer photo op. Frederick Joseph tweeted: "I still can’t wrap my mind around the fact that they draped these white people in kente cloth to 'honor' him [George Floyd]. This has to be hell black Americans are being pandered to and ultimately disrespected." Since the Minneapolis death at the hands of Derick Chauvin of George Floyd on May 25, 2020 all four officers involved have been fired and Chauvin has been taken into custody and charged with second-degree murder; the other three have also been charged. |
