Scripture for Today, 8-31-19: Short Life

Life on Earth is Short and Without God Has Little Satisfaction
King David said, "Lord, make me to know mine end, and the measure of my days, what it is: that I may know how frail I am. Behold, thou hast made my days as an handbreadth; and mine age is as nothing before Thee: verily every man at his best state is altogether vanity."

Picture
Psalm 39:4-5; Ecclesiastes 1:8, 5:10

​8-31-19, * -- Would it be better to win a silver medal or a bronze? In 1995, psychologists from Cornell University studied the reaction of Olympic silver and bronze medalists. They found that bronze medalists were significantly happier with their achievement than silver medalists. The reason is that silver medalists compared themselves with those who won gold, while the bronze medalists were happy to have medals at all.

In Psalm 39:7-8, 11 King David is desperately trying to find the right perspective on life. He was in the middle of a challenging situation. He was suffering because of sin. In addition, he was surrounded by wicked people (Psalm 39:1). So, after a sustained period of silence, David embraced two realizations that helped him gain a glimmer of hope.
  1. David realized life is short. He said God made his days a mere handbreadth. A handbreadth in ancient Israel was the width of four fingers, the smallest measurement available. He then shifts the image to compare life to a vapor, or breath. In language foreshadowing Ecclesiastes 1:8, 5:10, he describes how the pursuit of wealth and brevity of life are meaningless never causing satisfaction. David realizes what matters most is his relationship to the Lord. He said, Lord, what do I look for? My hope is in you.” Psalm 39:5-7
  2. David realized that his sin estranged him from God, “I dwell with you as a foreigner, a stranger, as all my ancestors were” (Psalm 39:12). He mourns deeply over his sin and longs for God to hear his cry. While this psalm does not come to a full resolution of these difficulties, David is well on his way toward restoration.

The Bible often calls us to think about the brevity of life. In Psalm 90:12, Moses asks God to “Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.”   [James 4:14]

Suicide is more common among celebrities, CEOs, Wealthy Successful People, Creatives ...
June 22, 2018 -- A clinical psychologist reports that half of her patients suffering with suicidal tendencies are either wealthy celebrities, bank CEOs, or movers and shakers in the political world. Some are prone to depression and bipolar disorder due to incessant media and public scrutiny. They are under more pressure than ordinary people as they struggle to maintain their image while knowing their lives have no real meaning. They have panic attacks, insomnia, violent outbursts, substance abuse, eating disorders and suicidal thoughts. The recent suicides of Anthony Bourdain and Kate Spade highlight how ... being sought-after, rich and at the top of their game leads to an identity crisis and the likelihood of committing suicide is twice that of ordinary people.

Clearly substantiating the words of King Solomon and King David - without God - life has no meaning causing the rich and famous to end their own earthly lives.
​Ecclesiastes 1:8, 5:10; 1 John 2:15-17

Israel: Sept Do Over Election

Do Over Election: September 17, 2019
Who Will Be Prime Minister of Israel?
***
Benjamin Netanyahu, Likud Party
or
Benny Gantz, Blue & White Party

​8-15-19, Haaretz News, Israel -- The upcoming Tuesday, September 17, 2019 re-do election in Israel seeks only five Knesset seats. Some say it'll save Netanyahu from prosecution and undermine Israeli democracy – or vice versa. 
Picture
Picture
Israelis head to the polls for the second time this year and although it's a very important election, most Israelis seem disengaged, if not apathetic. From the point of view of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s leftist opponents, these can be divided into three categories:

1. Sweet Dreams (aka Pie in the Sky): The center-left improves its performance in the April 9, 2019 elections by 5 seats, reaching a blocking majority of 60 or more seats without Avigdor Lieberman’s Yisrael Beiteinu. Benjamin Netanyahu’s path to forming a new right-wing government is effectively blocked. [..snip] Under these circumstances, and on the assumption that Lieberman does not renege on his pre-election commitments, Kahol Lavan’s Benny Gantz will be tapped by President Reuven Rivlin to form a new government. His chances of cobbling together a pure center-left coalition, however, are virtually non-existent...

2. King Lieberman: Both political blocs secure around 55 seats each, as the polls indicated all along. The balance of 10 seats is held by Yisrael Beiteinu, effectively anointing Lieberman as the ultimate kingmaker of Israeli politics. The former defense minister’s endorsement will determine whether Gantz or Netanyahu get the first crack at forming a new government...

Picture
3. Worst Nightmare [in liberal leftists view]
  • Arabs stay at home
  • Labor falls flat
  • Right-wingers come to the polls in droves, giving the right- wing bloc more than 61 seats and enabling Netanyahu to form a religious-right coalition without Lieberman making Benjamin Netanyahu once again Israel's Prime Minister...

Hollywood Leftists Are Going To Hate Kanye All the More: New Album Coming Out Titled:
'JESUS IS KING!"

Picture
8-30-19, It wasn’t that long ago that rap artist Kanye West was an underground icon to Democrats, especially after he went off-script to bash former Republican President George W. Bush. He’s donated to Barack Obama, and is of course linked through marriage to the left-leaning Kardashians. However, over recent years, something has changed. West found himself out of favor with liberal Democrats after he showed hints of budding conservatism on topics like racism and black voting habits. [He said they were brain washed to continually vote Democrat when there's no reason to be so faithful to a party that has failed miserably.]

Then came the unforgivable sin:
Kanye gave Donald Trump a chance, even meeting with him in the Oval Office while wearing a MAGA hat! Oh my! Now it looks like he's gone a bridge too far when it comes to riling up the left. Recently he and wife Kim Kardashian shared what appeared to be a sneak preview of West’s upcoming album title and song list — and it looks to be downright Christian.

Daily Mail reported that the album is to be called:

"Jesus Is King!”
It's set to be released on Sept. 27, 2019 and it isn’t just the title ... the tracts listed on West's notepad include “God Is,” “Baptized”  and “Sweet Jesus.”
 
The Life Of Pablo released in 2016 as 'a gospel album had a whole lot of cursing on it. It’s very interesting to see this side of Kanye & Kim; and if the upcoming album truly is Christian, there’s no doubt that it will drive liberal Democrats absolutely batty. ​More here and here

Scripture For Today, 8-30-19: Jesus Second Coming

The Second Coming
“And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.” 

Picture
1 Thessalonians 5:23

8-5-19, Dr Morris, PhD -- It has been observed that 1 Thessalonians 5:23 was first-written of Paul’s epistles contains more direct references to the second coming of Christ than any of his other writings. Each of the chapters in 1 Thessalonians comes to a close with a reference to Christ’s return in relation to some aspect of His great salvation, as applied to our personal lives. [1 Thess 5:1-3, 4-6]
  1. In the first chapter, he speaks of the second coming in relation to service: “How ye turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God; and to wait for His Son from heaven.” (1 Thess 1:9-10)
  2. In the second chapter he speaks of soul-winning: “For what is our hope, or joy, or crown of rejoicing? Are not even ye in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ at his coming?” (1 Thess 2:19)
  3. Next he emphasizes stability: “To the end He may stablish your hearts unblameable in holiness before God, even our Father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ with all His saints.” (1 Thess 3:13; Revelation 19:11)
The fourth chapter concludes with perhaps the greatest passage on the second coming in any of the epistles, verses 13-17. All of this is said by Paul to be the basis of our Christian strength. “Wherefore comfort [literally ‘strengthen’] one another with these words.” (1 Thess 4:18)

Picture
Picture
Finally, the last chapter concludes with the words of our text, speaking of our eternal sanctification as a result of this blessed hope of the second coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

The second coming is thus all-important. It is a practical incentive and enablement for the Christian life, encouraging service, soul-winning, stability, strength, and sanctification, culminating in full and everlasting salvation. [See also Revelation 19:11-15] Source

Veterans Honored: Bible on Table

VP Mike Pence Says,
"VA Hospitals Will Not Be Religion-Free Zones ... the Holy Bible stays!"

Picture
8-29-19, CBN.com -- Under the Obama administration Veteran Hospitals were removing Bibles and limiting worship. In a recent visit to the Manchester, NH Veterans Medical Center Vice President Mike Pence has vowed: "the Bible stays" in a display of a "Missing Man" table in the center's lobby. That Holy Bible was contributed by a US Veteran and prisoner of war in World War II:

Bedford ex-POW at center of VA Bible flap tells his story of capture ...
 7-20-19, Bedford New Hampshire's ex-POW, Herman “Herk” Streitburger, a 100-year-old World War II veteran  at center of VA Bible flap tells his story of capture, survival and escape from the Nazis. He tells of how they survived by tricking the Germans using “kranken-wagen,” the wagons used to carry sick prisoners. ... 


A lawsuit filed by The Military Freedom From Religion Foundation on behalf of one Air Force veteran, claiming the addition of the Bible in the display is unconstitutional. The Trump Admin says the case comes down to freedom of religion. VP Pence said: "It's really no surprise because, under the last administration, VA hospitals were removing Bibles and even banning Christmas carols in an effort to be politically correct.  But let me be clear: Under this administration, VA hospitals will not be religion-free zones."  ​More here

  • The table is round: To show our everlasting concern.
  • The cloth is white: Symbolizing the purity of their motives when answering the call to serve.
  • The single red rose: Reminds us of the lives of these Americans and their loved ones and friends who keep the faith, while seeking answers.
  • The yellow ribbon: Symbolizes our continued uncertainty, hope for their return and determination to account for them.
  • A slice of lemon: Reminds us of their bitter fate, captured or missing in a foreign land.
  • A pinch of salt: Symbolizes the tears of our missing and their families.
  • The lighted candle: Reflects our hope for their return.
  • The Bible: Represents the strength gained through faith to sustain us and those lost from our country, founded as one nation under God.
  • The glass is inverted: To symbolize their inability to share a toast.
  • The chairs are empty: They are missing.

Labor Day hurricanes have an ugly history in Florida dating back to the biggest in 1935
8-29-19, Sun-Sentinel --  Hurricane Dorian is forecast to strike Florida as a major storm on Labor Day, 9-2-2019 and it won't be the first. At least 25 hurricanes have barreled onto shore over past Labor Day weekends since 1851. On Sept. 2, 1935, the most intense Category 5 system with 185 mph winds striking the U.S. coastline, barreled across the Florida Keys destroying every structure in the upper Keys. This storm became known as the Great Labor Day Hurricane because the naming of hurricanes didn’t start until 1953.
The Baby Boomers were nicknamed the "Me Generation" 
The "Me" generation in the United States is a term referring to the baby ... on the rise of a culture of narcissism among the younger generation. 
The cultural change in the United States during the 1970s that was experienced by the baby boomers is complex. The 1960s are remembered as a time of political protests, radical experimentation with new cultural experiences (the Sexual Revolution, happenings, mainstream awareness of Eastern religions). And in 2019 we have all that plus abortion on demand so the women can have unfettered sex and just murder the resulting baby. More here

Bashing China could be the Democrats' ticket to the White House
8-28-19, CNBC, Jake Novak -- Not only are Democrats Elizabeth Warren from Massachusetts and Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders relatively soft-pedaling the China issue; the current front runner former Dem Vice President Joe Biden still hasn’t backtracked or apologized for his May 2019 statement saying that China is “not competition” for the U.S. Based on what we’ve seen so far in this elongated election process, it doesn’t seem like any Democrats will get smart enough to lay off of President Trump long enough to make a case for themselves. China may not only be the best chance to do that; it also might be the last.

Scripture for Today, 8-29-19: God's Glory

8/29/2019

To God Be the Glory
***
“Not unto us, O LORD, not unto us, but unto Thy name give glory, for Thy mercy and for Thy truth’s sake."

Picture
Picture
Psalm 115:1; Psalm 19:1-2; Romans 1:20

8-14-19, Dr Henry Morris, PhD -- One of the great words of the Bible is the word “glory,” and it should be evident that glory belongs to God, not man. Indeed, the very “heavens declare the glory of God” (Psalm 19:1). Not only do the heavens declare His glory, but “His glory [is] above the heavens” (Ps 113:4), and “the glory of the LORD shall endure forever” (104:31). In heaven the mighty hosts of angels “give unto the LORD the glory due unto His name” (Ps 29:2).

It is thus singularly inappropriate for God’s servants on Earth to seek glory for themselves. “Thus saith the LORD, Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, neither let the mighty man glory in his might, let not the rich man glory in his riches: But let him that glorieth glory in this, that he understandeth and knoweth me, that I am the LORD which exercise lovingkindness, judgment, and righteousness, in the earth: for in these things I delight, saith the LORD.” (Jeremiah 9:23-24)

This Old Testament exhortation is echoed in the New. “God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty; . . . That no flesh should glory in his presence. But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption: That, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.” (1 Corinthians 1:27, 29-31)

As our text reminds us, God manifests His glory to us today in both mercy and truth, mercifully saving us in Christ, Who is Himself God’s truth. (John 14:6) Thus, in Christ “mercy and truth are met together” (Psalm 85:10), and we shall “praise thy name for thy loving kindness [same word as ‘mercy’] and for Thy truth.” (Psalm 138:2; Ephesians 1:3-11) Source

Hong Kong: Thousands of Christian Protesters "Sing Hallelujah to the Lord"​

Picture
Hymn United Them ... They Sang:
‘SING HALLELUJAH TO THE LORD’
All night; nine hours

 
6-26-19, UmNews.org -- A Christian hymn has become the focal point for Hong Kong protesters who gathered for three major demonstrations against a proposed law that would allow extraditions to mainland China.
 
Protesters began to sing the American hymn “Sing Hallelujah to the Lord” and they sang non stop all night for nine hours. The hymn’s impact on defusing tensions was nothing short of miraculous. One Methodist pastor said the song has become the anthem of the whole movement.
 
A Methodist pastor from Hong Kong, talks about recent protests in Hong Kong. He said, “Our congregation has long understood following Jesus to be inseparable from participation in liberation movements in our own community, around the world or during this moment of turmoil on the streets of Hong Kong. For me, it’s a miracle.” He said what happened was a group of pastors organized a 72-hour prayer vigil for the situation in Hong Kong. On the night of June 11, 2019 after prayers, some people started to sing the hymn, which has a simple, repetitive chorus: "'Sing hallelujah to the Lord.' Amazingly, that night they could not stop. They sang for the whole night, about nine hours.”

​​The Designed Creation
God said, “Understand, ye brutish among the people: and ye fools, when will ye be wise? He that planted the ear, shall he not hear? He that formed the eye, shall He not see?” 

Picture
Psalm 94:8-9; Proverbs 20:12; 

8-9-19, Dr Henry Morris, Phd -- The concept of evolution, according to this verse, is nothing but brute-like foolishness. If an automobile presupposes an automaker, and a clock implies a clockmaker, surely the infinitely more intricate and complex eyes and ears of living creatures require an eye-maker and an ear-maker! “The hearing ear, and the seeing eye, the LORD hath made even both of them” (Proverbs 20:12).

The most basic of all scientific laws—the law of cause and effect (no effect greater than its cause)—becomes utmost nonsense if the cosmos is the product of chaos and the universe evolved by chance. “The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God” (Psalm 14:1).

Every creature, from the single-cell amoebae to the amazing human body, bears the impress of intricate planning and construction. The notion that such complex structures could evolve by random mutations and natural selection is simply a measure of the audacity of human rebellion and the absurdity of humanistic reasoning. Such things never happen in the real world, and there is no real scientific evidence whatever for “vertical” evolution from one kind to a higher kind.

The only genuine evidence for evolution is the fact that the leaders of intellectualism believe it, and the only reason they believe it is their frantic desire to escape God. “Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools” (Romans 1:22).

The ear did not “evolve”; it was planted. The eye did not “happen by chance”; it was formed. [Exodus 4:11] Every wise man and woman will say with the psalmist, “I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvelous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well” (Psalm 139:14).

Bible Prophecy Speaks of Future End Time Destruction of Israel's Enemy Nations - None of them from Europe

The Lord God said, "the Ammonites may not be remembered among the nations. 11 And I will execute judgments upon Moab [Jordan] ​; and they shall know that I am the Lord. 12 Because Edom [Jordan] ​ hath dealt against the house of Judah by taking vengeance, and hath greatly offended, and revenged himself upon them. 13 Therefore, I will also stretch out mine hand upon Edom, and will cut off man and beast from it; and I will make it desolate from Teman [Africa]; and they of Dedan  [Persia/Iran] shall fall by the sword. 14 And I will lay my vengeance upon Edom by the hand of my people Israel: and they shall do in Edom according to mine anger and according to my fury; and they shall know my vengeance. 15 Because the Philistines have dealt by revenge, and have taken vengeance with a despiteful heart, to destroy it for the old hatred. 16 Therefore, I will stretch out Mine hand upon the Philistines  [Palestinians Gaza] , and I will cut off the Cherethims, and destroy the remnant of the sea coast. 17 And I will execute great vengeance upon them with furious rebukes; and they shall know that I am the Lord, when I shall lay My vengeance upon them."

Ezekiel 25:10-17

​8-18-19, * -- In the Old Testament Bible book of the Prophet Daniel we read about his vision of a "lion, bear and leopard" kingdom. These are the "beasts" of Daniel 7:4-6 of Babylon, Medo-Persia and Greece; they reappear together again - the only time - in Revelation 13:1-2 and combined ... they represent a single composite "beast"/kingdom.
 
Seven heads are the seven successive kingdoms that ruled John's whole "world" through time. The ten horns could be the ten Islamic caliphates.   (Daniel's beasts are assigned the masculine gender as "his.") The reverse order was perhaps because Daniel's prophecy was forward looking at these kingdoms to come, while John's prophecy was in part a review of history and their fulfillment.
 
It's necessary to understand that in the context of the times during which John was writing - looking through his eyes at his world - to apply this ethnographic hermeneutic; terms like "whole world" are not about Peoria, Illinois in the USA.  The verse "that deceiveth the whole world" - Strong's explains: 3625 oikoumene {oy-kou-men'-ay}

1) the inhabited earth
1a) the portion of the earth inhabited by the Greeks, in distinction from the lands of the barbarians
1b) the Roman empire, all the subjects of the empire
 
Thus John's "whole world" is virtually and entirely Islamic, with the exception of Israel, and small percentages of persecuted Christians in a few other countries in the area. [See Ezekiel 38:5-6; Daniel 7:8, 11; Revelation 17:9-13]
 
While those Islamic countries may have theological and political differences, and separate national identities [Iran is Shiite and Turkey is Sunni], they are all perfectly united spiritually through the false prophet Muhammad and his book, Koran. Each and every follower of Muhammad is an antichrist (1 John 2:18-22, 4:3; 2 John 1:7) as an article of their faith because they must deny and even blaspheme the Son of God, the Lord Jesus Christ.
  
Some Muslims claim the Bible was corrupted to demonize Islam, but this would have been an impossibility since it had been copied thousands of times and translated into many languages over hundreds of years before Muhammad was ever born [580 AD].

Terror Snafu in Iraq - BATTERIES ARE IMPORTANT
for the ISIS 'Air Force!'

8-25-19, Sun.Co.Uk -- Mosul Iraq UK/SAS troops report that an Islamic terrorist from Isis using it's minuscule 'AIR FORCE' $1200.00 drone blew him up when the drone bomb he was operating ran low on battery — and flew back as it's programmed to do under those circumstances.

​Troops got quite a chuckle. The Muslim terrorist had customized his weapon to carry plastic explosive and planned to detonate it by western troops based in the city. However, his plan backfired because he had forgotten to sufficiently charge the device's battery. More here

True Christians Prove Their Love By their Obedience
Jesus said, "If you love Me you'll keep My commandments."

Picture
John 14:15; 1 John 5:3

6-2-12, * -- The Lord Jesus tells us four times that loving Him is of such a nature that it results in the keeping of Jesus’s commandments, or, more generally, His word [John 14:15, 21, 23-24]:
  • “If you love Me, you will keep My commandments.”
  • “Whoever has My commandments and keeps them, he it is who loves Me.”
  • “If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word.”
  • “Whoever does not love Me does not keep My words.”

Loving Jesus is not the same as keeping His commandments. It precedes and gives rise to keeping the commandments. Keeping His word is the result of loving Him.

Love for Jesus is entirely deserved. He is infinitely worthy of being loved. He is loved not in spite of what He is, but because of all that He is. It is not a response to need or weakness or defect. It’s desiring Him because He is infinitely desirable. It’s admiring Him because He is infinitely admirable. It’s treasuring Him because He is infinitely valuable. It’s the reflex of the awakened and new-born human soul [John 3:3,5,7] to all that is true and good and beautiful, embodied in Jesus.

Therefore, how can there be love without obedience? [John 14:23; Isaiah 49:15]

We asked about national political reporters, are they credible, are they reliable? Appx 33% said yes; same answer for Wikipedia. "The media has a huge credibility problem and it's always had the problem. Oh, we talk about it differently today. Now we talk about it as a political bias same as when people were complaining about the bias of Walter Cronkite back in the 1960s. 78% of voters say that what reporters do with political news is promote their agenda. They think they use incidents as props for their agenda rather than seeking accurately record what happened. Only 14% think that a journalist is actually reporting what happened..."

A majority of Americans don't believe polls are accurate
5-14-18, PewResearch -- Donald Trump’s victory in the 2016 U.S. presidential election, as well as the UK’s decision to leave the European Union through “Brexit,” rattled public confidence in polls. Since these two major world events occurred, we have been asked the same question when giving presentations, on social media, in interviews, and from our own friends and neighbors: “Can we still trust polls?... well-designed polls can be trusted.

Trigger Points
Apostle Jude said, ​Beloved, I exhort you that ye earnestly should contend for the faith in the Lord Jesus which was once delivered unto the saints. 4 For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, denying the only Lord God and our Lord Jesus Christ. 5 I want you to remember how the Lord, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed them that believed not. 6 And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day. 7 Even as Sodom and Gomorrah, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.  8 Likewise also these filthy dreamers defile the flesh, despise dominion, and speak evil of dignities.

Jude 1:3-4, 5-6, 7-8

Trump is driving us toward a big recession: "It will be ghastly!"
8-13-19, Salon.com -- Trump came along and deregulated everything, weakening the post-Great Recession laws [ha ha] meant to curb Wall Street abuses, punctuated the Bush-era linkage by massive tax cut and oh so much more!! Recession is coming!!

Liberal Media Hype 'Recession' Fears Every Single Day
8-12-19, Newsbusters -- Even though some high-profile experts claim the U.S. is not headed for a recession right now, the liberal news media continued to promote economic pessimism during the summer of 2019. Despite 3.7 percent (near record-low) unemployment, wage gains, confident consumers and growing economy, liberal journalists obsessed over recession every single day of June and July. More recently, at least one journalist openly sided with left-wing comedian Bill Maher said: "I really do want a recession" to get rid of Trump. NBC’s Richard Engel chimed in “Short-term pain might be better than long-term destruction of the constitution.”  See Real Time with Bill Maher Aug. 9, 2019.

If You Reject the Lord Jesus Christ
***
The Lord Jesus was asked, “By what authority doest thou these things? and who gave thee this authority to do these things?”
Jesus answered, “I will also ask of you one question: The baptism of John, was it from heaven, or of men? answer me.” 
They pondered it and answered: “We cannot tell.” 
Jesus replied: “Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things.” He then spoke to them in parables: “A certain man planted a vineyard, and set an hedge about it, and digged a place for the winefat, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into a far country. And at the season he sent to the husbandmen a servant, that he might receive from the husbandmen of the fruit of the vineyard. And they caught him, and beat him, and sent him away empty. And again he sent unto them another servant; and at him they cast stones, and wounded him in the head, and sent him away shamefully handled. And again he sent another; and him they killed, and many others; beating some, and killing some. Having yet therefore one son, his well beloved, he sent him also last unto them, saying, ‘They will reverence my son.’ But those husbandmen said among themselves, 'This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and the inheritance shall be ours.' And they took him, and killed him, and cast him out of the vineyard. What shall therefore the lord of the vineyard do? He will come and destroy the husbandmen, and will give the vineyard unto others. And have ye not read this scripture; ‘The stone which the builders rejected is become the head of the corner; this was the Lord's doing and it is marvelous in our eyes'?”

Picture
Mark 11:27-12:11
 
8-24-19, * -- A cornerstone, also called a foundation stone, is important because it is the very first stone laid in a building. Structurally it is the stone on which the rest of the building is constructed. Jesus is described as the Chief Cornerstone of the church (Mark 12:10; Ephesians 2:20).
 
The tenants in Jesus’ parable [Mark 11:27-12:12] had stewardship of the landowner’s land; but instead of sharing the fruit of the land with the owner, they rejected his authority by disrespecting and killing each messenger he sent to collect rent. The landowner sent “many” messengers, “some of them they beat, others they killed” (Mark 12:5). Finally, the landowner sent his son, “whom he loved” (Mark 12:6). Instead of paying what was due, the tenants first acknowledged that this was indeed the son, and then, killed him. These farmers had a relationship with the landowner. He was allowing them to work his land. 
He patiently repeatedly reached out to them; finally sending his own son. The workers not only rejected all his overtures; they killed his son. Ultimately the farmers would receive just punishment (Mark 12:9).
 
The religious teachers had continued to question Jesus’ source of authority. In Mark 11:27–33 they directly confronted Him about His teaching and actions; four times they asked: “Who gave you authority?” (Mark 11:28, 29, 32).  While some of Jesus’ parables were difficult to understand, this one was not. The meaning of the parable was clearly understood by the religious leaders; they knew Jesus was speaking directly to and accusing them [Mark 12:12]. 
 
We should take seriously the warning in this parable and carefully be sure our message isn’t only about prosperity or being good to one another – our personal relationship with Jesus is what truly matters. [John 3:36, 8:24; Acts 2:38]

​USA Schools: Tax-Payer Funded Islamic Propaganda Forced On Teachers While Christianity Disparaged

8-22-19, ANN ARBOR, MI – The Thomas More Law Center -- A well-orchestrated Islamic propaganda campaign aimed at teachers in USA Government Public School Systems throughout Michigan and several other states has been uncovered via FOIA requests.

During the past five years the Michigan school district has presented no teacher-training seminars focusing on Christianity, Judaism or any other religion – only Islam. The hired Muslim consultant was Huda Essa, a resident of the Dearborn area and of Arab descent. She appeared before the Novi teachers in a hijab, the Muslim headscarf, billing herself as an expert in “cultural competency” and “culturally responsive teaching.”​

Richard Thompson, president and chief counsel of the Law Center, commented on the results of their investigation, “We found that the teachers were subjected to two days of Islamic propaganda, where Islam was glorified, Christianity disparaged, and America bashed—all funded by Novi taxpayers.” ​More here

Why teenagers eat Tide pod laundry soap
1-20-18, HarvardEdu -- Teenaged children are eating laundry detergent in the so-called “Tide Pod Challenge” seen on social media, where the kids joke of feasting on the colorful capsules and ― yes ― others actually post videos of themselves chowing down on them. It may all sound like fun and games, with some online users insisting that no one actually eats them, but poison control officials say otherwise. Over the last few years, there has been a rise in poison control centers responding to cases of intentional exposure to liquid laundry packets among people between the ages of 13 and 19... More here

Dems Foiled Again: Electoral College

Federal Court Deals Serious Blow To the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact’s Attempt to Circumvent Electoral College

Picture
8-22-19, * --  On Aug 20, 2019 the 10th Circuit Denver-based U.S. Court of Appeals ruled that the Colorado secretary of state violated the Constitution when he removed an E.C. delegate who had chosen to vote for John Kasich instead of Hillary Clinton. Michael Baca, a loyal Democrat delegate was attempting to be a part of a movement by Electoral College [E.C.] delegates across the country to pull away votes from both Trump and Hillary so as to send the election to the U.S. House of Representatives. [The Constitution provides that if no candidate receives 50% plus one vote (270 E.C. votes), then the top three candidates in the E.C. are to be presented to the House of Representatives and the House is to select the next president.]
 
Baca's plan was dependent upon 35 Republican delegates also casting their votes for Kasich. While Kasich would not have received any votes in the general election, his third-place finish in the E.C. would have made him eligible for the Republican-controlled House to elect him as president of the United States. This was Democrat's attempt #1 in their attempt bypass the states voters to remove Donald Trump.
 
Attempt #2: In another case of "Trump Derangement Syndrome" Democrats tried to circumvent the E.C. with their “National Popular Vote Interstate Compact” (NPVIC) [1]. It’s many Democrat leaders have encouraged state legislatures to enter into an agreement wherein the states in the NPVIC will award all their E.C. votes to the presidential candidate who wins the national popular vote. This agreement would take effect when necessary states joined totaling at least 270 E.C. votes.
 The problem with this harebrained scheme is that it attempts to work around the U.S. Constitution to legally amend the Constitution that now requires ¾ of the states to ratify and change it by new amendment or via a constitutional convention called for by the states. Now they want to change the rules and requirement as they know ¾ of the states won’t approve it.

Picture
The good news is that with the recent 10th Circuit’s ruling, clearly the Dems must realize the beginning of the end of their latest scheme to end the E.C. While the 10th Circuit decision doesn’t directly deal with the NPVIC, the reasoning of this decision will be used when lawyers argue the eventual unconstitutionality of the compact as without the Electoral College in America's Elections ... Four Border States Would Decide Every Election.

Birth of Quintuplets Was Historic Event in Czech Republic
23 year old Alexandra Kinova had 4 boys and 1 girl

Picture
In June of 2013 the Czech Republic saw a history making event take place when five babies ... for the first time ... born in the nation.​
***
Update: Czech Quintuplets Mom Alexandra Kinova's Inspiring ...
7-10-19, God had already blessed Alexandra and her husband Antonin with a son then they discovered that Alexandra was carrying five babies. It was an incredible discovery, especially considering she conceived naturally with no in vitro fertilization (IVF) or fertility treatments. That put the odds of this type of conception around one in 60 million! If that wasn’t impressive enough, the quintuplets made history as the first set in the Czech Republic.

Picture
Making the delivery even more miraculous was the fact that all five babies arrived happy and healthy via c-section. An elated Alexandra Kinova and Antonin welcomed their five babies — four boys named Deniel, Michael, Alex, and Martin and one girl named Terezka. All of their six kids are doing well. More here
