This will be a continuation of my extended declaration of my purpose in today’s world.  As the foundation for my expressions and declarations, I use the Bible.  Psalm 127:1-2 – “Unless the LORD builds the house, they labor in vain who build it; unless the LORD guards the city, the watchman keeps awake in vain.  2 It is vain for you to rise up early, to retire late, to eat the bread of painful labors; for He gives to His beloved even in his sleep.”  NASB

Too often, we have made the mistake of thinking all we must do is pray with no personal effort to see a change in the federal government. We have allowed the secularization of the idea of Separation of Church and State to censor and silence us when that was never the intent or purpose of the First Amendment. 

Psalm 127, usually attributed to Solomon, defines a balanced perspective and affords a foundation for faith and hope in our personal lives, business, and politics. We dare never forget that GOD IS GOD! Much of society today has moved from absolute truth, and many have adopted a mentality and philosophy that there are no absolute rights and no absolute wrongs. 

That opens the door to every person being a law unto themselves. 

• If we accept the account of Genesis 1 that “In the beginning God…” 
• If we believe that God is truly the Creator, then we have a sense of moral accountability to Him. 
• If we do not believe that He is the Creator, we have no sense of obligation, accountability, or responsibility to follow His precepts and become laws unto ourselves. 

Sadly, that is the attitude of too many in politics, especially those in the Democratic Party hierarchy. 

Psalm 127 unveils a powerful truth and revelation that opens the door to a balanced plan and path for politics. It addresses far more than politics, but in defining my purpose and what I believe is my assignment in life, I use it, at this moment, to address the political.  Examine it with me, if you will: The writer begins with the powerful word Unless, which illustrates futility and then offers hope: “Unless the LORD builds the house, they labor in vain who build it…”  

In the political sense, the House is our system and mode or method of government.  It is more than just Congress or the White House; it is the entire political system, from the lowest bureaucrat to the President.  Unless the LORD builds that house, our feeble efforts will be in vain or without any substantive result.  We may achieve the objectives we believe are vital and impose or implement our policies, but if we do it outside the will and purpose of God, it will not produce lasting benefits.  It will become nothing more than an exercise in futility. 

He says, “Unless the LORD guards the city, the watchmen keep awake in vain…”  In the Amplified Bible, we read Daniel 2:21, “It is He (God) who changes the times and seasons; He removes kings and establishes kings.  He gives wisdom to the wise and [greater] knowledge to those who have understanding.” 

For those who argue that God is not interested in politics and that Christians should stay out of the political discussion, I would refer you to that passage and many others.  God is very interested in the Political House and the Political City and has committed Himself to Build and Guard it if we follow the prescription of 2 Chronicles 7:14, “…and My people, who are called by My Name, humble themselves, and pray and seek (crave, require as necessity) My face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear [them] from heaven, and forgive their sin and heal their land.”

We have a three-fold responsibility before God. 

• We Are to WATCH and Heed the Warnings of the “Watchmen on the Wall.”

We are to be observant and “Discern the Times” in which we live.  Watching is a vital part of the process; if we are unaware, we will not be forearmed in prayer.  However, I concur that one of the ministries of the Holy Spirit is to pray through us when we do not know how to pray, and God is also very interested in us being aware.  Awareness comes through Observation or Watching!  Therefore, be vigilant!  Be alert!  Be aware!  Be discerning! 

• We Are to Verbalize Those Things We See and Hear Arming Ourselves with the Word of God. 

We must utilize the Armor of God to Pull Down Strongholds and Defeat the enemy.   Some might question how that applies to politics, but politics affects life and freedom to preach, teach, testify, and assemble.  If we lose our Freedom, we lose the freedom to proclaim the message of Hope in Christ publicly. 

• We Must Become Involved.

The Bible declares that “Faith without works is dead being alone.”  There comes a time in life when we need to Hear or See what is happening.  We must Discern God’s purpose through Prayer and then act.

That brings me to my initial point or purpose in this presentation.  My Purpose is to faithfully take my position on the Wall and Watch.  What I See, I will Declare, sounding the Alarm when an alarm is required and making a plea when a plea is appropriate. I will use God’s voice to execute my duties of Informing faithfully and forewarning, including politics. 

Prayer is a cornerstone of all that I do.  I will not just ask others to engage in that warfare but will enter the trenches with them and fight the fight for Faith, Family, and Freedom.  The Psalm we have used also says, “It is vain for you to rise early, to retire late, to eat the bread of painful labors; For He gives His to His beloved EVEN IN HIS SLEEP.”   I hope you caught that!

We are to Labor, Pray, Watch, and Warn! But if we do not keep everything in the proper perspective, we will be doing all we do in vain. I do not suggest that the Psalmist was suggesting that we disengage from anything political, but that we must make Trusting God the center of all we do.

We approach our battle knowing that God is on the side of Right. God’s providence established the Republic known as the United States of America, and He is the one who built this nation and has guarded her for these 240-plus years. 

As America embraced His precepts and followed His moral principles, she flourished and became the Mighty Nation she had become.  The decline can be just as rapid and impressive as that rise has been.  If we do not want America to become a byword among the nations of the world, we must become a nation and a people who Trust God, Follow His precepts, and learn as individuals to become those who “Watch and Pray” and then as we receive His marching orders Invest and Involve ourselves in the matters before us.

My objective and purpose are to be a Voice of Reason and Hope, always identifying the dangers, sounding the alarm, calling to action, and Pointing to Our True Hope!

I take the words of Alexis de Tocqueville as I quote from Democracy in America, “I sought for the greatness and genius of America in her commodious harbors and her ample rivers—and it was not there…in her fertile fields and boundless forests—and it was not there…in her rich mines and her vast world commerce—and it was not there…in her democratic Congress and her matchless Constitution—and it was not there. Not until I went into the churches of America and heard her pulpits flame with righteousness did, I understand the secret of her genius and power. America is great because she is good, and if America ever ceases to be good, she will cease to be great.”  Also, our first President George Washington’s First Inaugural Address on April 30, 1789, “The propitious smiles of Heaven can never be expected on a nation that disregards the eternal rules of order and right, which Heaven itself has ordained.” 

My Objective is to be a Voice of Warning, a Voice of Hope, and a Voice of Prayer.  I will WATCH carefully, LISTEN intently, PROCLAIM loudly and consistently, PRAY fervently, and LABOR tirelessly for Faith, Family, and Freedom. 

We still have a small window of opportunity, but we dare not squander what has been granted to us. America, the Republic, is too important to neglect our duty. If we are Christians, we are citizens of two worlds. While our first allegiance is to the Kingdom of God, we live in the natural world. We must be good stewards of what God has given us and follow His leadership in building, guarding, and laboring.

God bless you, and God bless America! Let’s Pray for America, for Revival, for the Change that God desires and America needs.  

This will be an extended declaration of my purpose in today’s world.  As the foundation for my expressions and declarations, I use the Bible.   Psalm 127:1-2 – “Unless the LORD builds the house, they labor in vain who build it; unless the LORD guards the city, the watchman keeps awake in vain.  2 It is vain for you to rise up early, to retire late, to eat the bread of painful labors; for He gives to His beloved even in his sleep.”  NASB

As 2023 ended and 2024 burst on the scene, I once again did some introspection and sought to evaluate and define my purpose—the purpose I believe God has assigned me. With 2023 in the rearview mirror and 2024 passing the mid-point of the year, my concerns are even greater, and my commitment to the cause of Faith, Family, and Freedom is even more firmly entrenched than ever.

I believe that the invitation from my friend Dale Gentry to join the other hosts on www.bpnradio.com and become a part of Breakout Ministries was inspired by God and has been an exciting ride.  Dale’s recognition of my call to be a “Watchman on the Wall” has defined my purpose on the radio, in print, on social media, in the streets, house to house, and in the pulpit.  Jesus instructed his disciples in Matthew 26:41, “Keep awake and watch and pray [constantly], that you may not enter into temptation; the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.”  Amplified. 

In my view, God would have us embrace a multi-pronged thrust in America over the next few years as we pursue His purposes and fight for Faith, Family, and Freedom. This is an American struggle that impacts the world.

• There is a continuing furor regarding the Presidential election in 2024.
• The outcry from the Democrats is the same song, a different verse.
• The outcry from the Establishment Republicans is disappointing but not beyond what we could or should have expected.  They want ‘business as usual’ to continue facilitating the ‘ole boy network’ of Political Cronyism and Power. 
• The unveiling of corruption and partisanship in the FBI, DOJ, State Department, CIA, IRS, and many other government bureaucracies and agencies is disturbing. 

All of this reveals how deep the swamp is and the daunting task we have as we endeavor to drain it and dismantle the deep state. The divide in America is growing more pronounced, and the willingness of many to see America continue down the path of destruction we have been on for some time is disturbing. 

God moved upon hearts and granted America a small window of opportunity in 2016. He opened the door for us to begin returning to our moral moorings as a society and correcting some of the errors in the federal government. God was instrumental in helping Donald Trump achieve the victories he has accomplished, although he often had to do it virtually alone, without Congressional backing.

I would never suggest that Mr. Trump was or is a savior, but I do suggest that he offered a contrast that resonated with millions and sufficient numbers in the various states to defeat the leftists.   We were afforded a brief ray of hope that America could be restored to her Constitutional Republican Status. 

Sadly, that window has largely closed, and we are experiencing devasting damage to our Republic, freedoms, and lives.  The entire world has been thrown into a precarious position where the real threat of World War is real.  The ineptitude and misguided inaction of many in Congress is telling.

The Holy Spirit compels me to define my purpose and objective. Hopefully, I can encourage, instruct, and elicit your involvement in the necessary task of Watching and Praying for America. I am not naïve enough to suggest that we can see what is happening and pray, doing nothing else, but prayer is assuredly the starting point. It is vital if we are to succeed in our Fight for Freedom! 

Those in power never readily, easily, or willingly cede power. Once they achieve a hold on the nation, they fight vociferously to keep it. Government graft and corruption are as vile as any organized crime family or entity. The idea of Citizen Representation has long been tossed on the “trash heap” by those in power and seeking power. 

Forces are working 24/7/365 to disrupt, dismantle, and destroy our American System of Government and relegate you and me to the role of servant to the State.  That was not the original intent of our Framers and Founders and should not be acceptable to any true American patriot and Lover of Freedom.

I have been criticized for being vocal on matters political and informed that “A Preacher has no business in politics.  That I should stick to preaching and leave politics to the politicians.”  My response was and is, “That is exactly how we got into this mess.”   It would be difficult for anyone to argue that politicians have done a good job as defenders of freedom and protectors of the Constitution. 

We are over $34 Trillion in debt in America (secured debt) and upwards of $100 Trillion in unsecured debt.  We have such a massive bureaucracy in the federal system that the tentacles of that monster could not be pruned in five lifetimes.  We have allowed the original intent of the Framers of the Constitution and the Founders of the Republic to be so eroded and diluted that they would be unable to recognize any semblance of their purpose were they to view it today. 

Deeply respecting the need for some semblance of brevity, I will make this a two-part blog post.  So, I ask you to join me tomorrow as I continue this declaration. 

God bless you, and God bless America!

There is a massive move by the Left, including their major propaganda arms, the MSM, to ‘Rebrand’ Kamala Harris and transform her image into one of superintelligence, integrity, and compassion.  Based on her history, I fail to see any of that in her; you may disagree.  The media, the Left, and most Never-Trumpers seek to brand Trump as a man with the morals of an alley cat.  What about Biden and Harris? 

If we make this about personal flaws or qualities, we would be forced to reject every politician in Washington or almost every politician.  I do not want to throw a blanket over everyone and use that broad brush.  However, it seems that most politicians and most people have kinks in their armor.   We are all flawed vessels. 

Yet, when it comes to politics and the government, we are not voting on a pastor or giving nominations for sainthood; we are looking at what is best for the country.  God has used very flawed people to do some very good things.  I won’t make a comparison between Cyrus and Trump, but I will say that when I view politics, I consider the agenda, the platform, and the record.  I attempt to divest the personalities from my consideration.  I would love for all the politicians to be godly people, but they are not.  Therefore, I am left with making a decision based on core values and actions that are beneficial for America.

When I compare Kamala Harris to Donald Trump, there may be some common ground in peripheral areas, but the choice is clear to me when it comes to records, agendas, and ideologies. I try to vote for the candidate whose agenda and platform are closest to my biblical core values and objectives. 

The Obama-Biden and Biden-Harris administrations were strongly pro-Islam and anti-Israel. They were strong advocates for the rainbow coalition, transgenderism, homosexuality, abortion on demand, defunding the police, open borders, higher taxes, anti-oil and gas, and ever-expanding entitlements.  They sought to ban the Bible and God from the public square.  They are anti-second Amendment and actively worked to restrict our freedom of speech, deeming any speech they did not agree with ‘hate speech.’  Even quoting the Bible was an actionable offense in their minds. 

The recent events at the Olympics with the ‘Last Supper’ portrayal using Drag Queens were beyond troubling.  I cannot imagine any of that group have the audacity or courage to insult and defame Islam in the same manner.  But their actions are being lauded as honorable.  No, they are despicable.  Love me or hate me, that is my view, and I can only imagine how God feels about it.

• Kamala Harris has strongly supported the ‘Defund the Police’ efforts, whereas Donald Trump strongly advocates for the men in blue.
• Kamala Harris strongly supports open borders, whereas Donald Trump wants a secure border.
• Kamala Harris desires abortion on demand (including late-term abortions), whereas Donald Trump views the issue as a State’s Rights Issue, as does the Constitution. 
• Kamala Harris advocates Sanctuary Cities, and Donald Trump does not.
• Kamala Harris is anti-Second Amendment, whereas Donald Trump is an advocate for our rights to ‘Keep and Bear Arms.’
• Kamala Harris is a Green Energy devotee at the expense of the fossil fuel industry. In contrast, Donald Trump has stood for utilizing the available resources to produce energy at a lower cost. He has not opposed Green Energy’s potential but sees it as needing time and development to become viable and affordable.
• Kamala Harris is an Obamacare proponent and seeks to make our medical care in America more of a State-run entity, whereas Donald Trump wants choice in the market.

There are two visions of America on the ballot regardless of which Democrat ultimately tops the ticket.  The America of the Left is one that will destroy our elections by allowing illegals to vote.  Their desire to reject the idea of Voter ID opens the door to fraud and corruption. They desire to have the ability to spend us into fiscal oblivion fighting “Climate Change.”  They desire to mandate electric vehicles and end the use of internal combustion engines.  That policy will plunge America back into the dark ages and make the cost of living beyond the reach of anyone but the super-rich.

The Left wants to “Tax and Spend,” have access to our retirement accounts, and limit what we can spend of our own money.  They deem all money to belong to the state.  They seek to restrict our First Amendment Rights so that anything other than the politically correct speech is ‘hate speech.’  They want to abolish ‘private insurance’ and force us into ‘Socialized Medicine.’ 

They want a ‘one-party state’ with their party being the overlords.  They want to pack the Supreme Court with liberal ideologues.  They want to decriminalize crime, except crimes against the government.  They want to rule by executive order and give freebies to everyone for everything, including a guaranteed base income for everyone.

The agenda of the Left would destroy all free enterprise and strip citizens of the motivation or inspiration to strive for success.  The agenda of the Left would pit America against the Bible and the God of the Bible.  If you want to criticize me for supporting Donald Trump and the Republican ticket, go ahead.  I am not voting on a person; I am voting on the record and the proposed agendas. 

I am a natural-born American citizen, a Vietnam veteran, a parent and grandparent, a patriot, and, most importantly, a Christian. I stand for Faith, Family, and Freedom! I stand for Limited Government and expect the elected officials to honor the Constitution, respect our rights and liberties, and work for us, not against us or for themselves.

I urge you to consider the agendas rather than simply looking at ethnicity, gender, or appearance.  Vote for what is best for America, and be honest in your assessment.  Look at the current cost of living and its potential to worsen, and ask yourself, “Am I better off under the Biden-Harris administration or the Trump-Pence of four years ago?”  If you are honest, unless you are part of the 1%, you will say, “I am not.”  Then vote for yourself and your progeny and send the Leftists home in November.

God bless you, and God bless America!

Understandably, some may dismiss my concerns, labeling me as a conspiracy theorist or a religious fanatic. However, I refuse to be deterred from addressing a topic that is rapidly becoming a norm in our technological society.  As a student of the Bible, a follower of Jesus Christ, an American veteran, and a lover of freedom, I share a common concern with many about the potential impact of Artificial Intelligence (AI).

While I may not possess the technical credentials to speak authoritatively on AI, I can refer to those who do and share their concerns. I can also draw upon biblical texts, which I believe offer valuable insights into the potential implications of AI and today’s technological advancements.

In our current society, the blurring of terms and values has created a breeding ground for the sinister to emerge from the shadows and infiltrate every aspect of life. This could be both beneficial and perilous.  Years ago, during my computer training, there was a saying: GIGO. ‘Garbage in, Garbage out.’ 

The technologues of that day were convinced that the computer wizardry becoming prevalent totally depended upon the programming.  I believe, as do some technological giants in that industry, that idea is no longer exclusively valid. 

We live in a time when everything is being redefined, including ‘intelligence.’  There is a desire to redefine other words or states, such as ‘consciousness.’  We know that today’s technology with ‘drones’ is reshaping many things militarily, educationally, scientifically, and medically, as well as how we conduct business.  Some of them are wonderfully good, and some of them present incredibly dangerous possibilities.

The nations of the world are becoming heavily invested in ‘trans-humanism’ and seeking to create a new species of hybrid humans for military and other purposes.  One contributor to the technological advancements said they envision a time when we will achieve ‘technological Singularity.’  He explained that there would be a point of growth in technology where the technology would become ‘uncontrollable and irreversible.’  He believed that would result in unforeseeable changes in our human civilization through what they deemed an ‘upgrade’ via Artificial Intelligence [AI].

This is being promoted as ‘self-improvement;’ there are those who desire to become immortal and believe that connecting the computer to the human brain would allow their consciousness to live forever via a machine—having billions if not trillions of data available for medical researchers seems to be an incredible advancement.  It can be.  They insist that using AI to predict or develop strategies for economic growth and even warfare is beneficial and benign.  I ask, ‘Is it?”

I read that the head of the World Economic Forum (WEF), Klaus Schwab, declared, “We are at the beginning of a revolution that is fundamentally changing the way we live, work, and relate to one another.”  That is true, but is it good?  He longs for this ‘Great Reset.’

Elon Musk spoke at the MIT Aeronautics and Astronautics Department in 2014 at their Centennial Symposium and said, “With artificial intelligence, we are summoning the demon.”  At least two books discuss AI using that as their title.   Musk used this analogy, “You know all those stories where there’s the guy with a pentagram and the holy water, and he’s like…yeah, he’s sure he can control the demon, [but] it doesn’t work out.”  That’s my point: are we creating a monster we cannot control? 

With the depravity of the human heart and the consuming passion for control and dominance, what is to prevent the nefarious from using technology for genocidal events that would fulfill the desire of the Bill Gates types of the world in population reduction?  Most have seen the Sci-Fi movie “Terminator.”  We scoffed at the prospects and other movies that used AI to predict crimes and arrested people for what they might do rather than what they had done.  

I am aware that more than 350 AI researchers and engineers issued a warning that AI poses risks comparable to “severe pandemics and nuclear war.”  Geoffrey Hinton, often cited as the “godfather of AI,” left Google to sound the alarm.  He said, “This is not science fiction.  A lot of smart people should be putting a lot of effort into figuring out how we deal with the possibility of AI taking over.”  That is concerning, especially when it comes from someone on the ground floor of this technology.

When I read Revelation 13:15, I grow concerned, “The second beast was empowered to give life to the image of the first beast so that it could speak and could cause all those who did not worship the image of the beast to be killed.” 

How many of you have discussed something in your home and been inundated with advertisements for that item?  With the use of AI and the algorithms of Facebook and other social media platforms, we see it making significant inroads.  How much is designed to reshape how we think?  How much is designed to track us for whatever purposes?  How much of it is being used to strategize and implement plans for total control?  I do not know, but I am concerned.

Virtually no politician is willing to touch this except to sing its praises for the ‘betterment of mankind.’  Do we trust those in high-level governmental positions? Do we trust people like Dr. Anthony Fauci and the World Health Organization?  Do we trust the United Nations?  Do we trust the known despots and tyrants in the world who would like nothing better than to create an advantage for their schemes?   Then, maybe we should be concerned.

I have a response that is not technological or scientific.  I believe the best way to protect ourselves is to follow the directive of Matthew 6:33 – “But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.”  And Mark 12:30-31 – “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with your mind and with your strength. 31 The second is this: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’  There is no commandment greater than these.”

Additionally, we have Philippians 4:6-7 – “Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.”   Then, Ephesians 6:10-18 gives us something we can embrace: the Whole Armor of God. 

I believe that without God’s help, we will be overcome by nefarious forces and people seeking ultimate power. I believe that with God’s help, we can be discerning, and His Holy Spirit will help us navigate the labyrinth of the unknown. We are not smart enough and dare not trust those who are with our lives or our eternal souls. 

That is my rant; do with it what you will. I am concerned. I applaud beneficial advancements in technology, but I cannot help but be concerned about something so potentially threatening.

God bless you, and God bless America!

Deception or ignorance can be intentional or unintentional, but the result is the same. It is gaslighting, smoke and mirrors, and whitewashing history. Is it successful? Often, it is because of personal preference, bias, prejudice, and the presence of hate!

The presumptive or guaranteed Democratic presidential nominee, now that BHO has endorsed her, is Kamala Harris.  Her record is impossible for any reasonable person to support, but when you mix the inordinate hate for Donald J. Trump, her past is inconsequential to millions.

This may get me kicked to the curb by those whose feelings are so sensitive that even the mention of some non-pc things sends them into an uncontrollable rage.  Kamala Harris has had a career of pretending to be marginalized.  Joe Biden promised and fulfilled his promise to have a Black woman as his running mate.  Qualifications were not part of the consideration, only skin color and gender.  However, ascribing to leftist ideological extremism was a plus.

The baleful ideology of racial equality is a key player in her campaign and attempted makeover.  That ideology is the force behind the push for reparations, racial preference, critical race theory being taught in our schools, and the defund-the-police movements.  Harris promoted bail funds for BLM rioters in 2020. 

She was, effectively if not officially, the ‘border czar’ of the Biden administration, which allowed the invasion of over ten million illegals from all over the world.  Unvetted and unhindered access to the USA is a serious national security threat.  But, alas, if you want to expand your voter base (legal or illegal), you do what you must, right?

There is neither time nor space to detail all the incredibly destructive policies she has supported in this blog.  I choose not to discuss the immoral or amoral behavior that enabled her to ascend to the pinnacle of the Democrat party. 

She has made some incredibly ludicrous statements, including her tweet on January 29, 2019, about Jussie Smollett.  “@JussieSmollett is one of the kindest, most gentle human beings I know.  I’m praying for his quick recovery.  This was an attempted modern-day lynching.  No one should have to fear for their life because of their sexuality or the color of their skin.  We must confront this hate.”   I agree with portions of her statement, but this was a rush to judgment not based on facts, which proved it was a fraud, not an actual attack on him.

She has two specific proposals that would complete the destruction of our economy and our republic.  The New Green Deal is one of the most transparent and prolific examples of her Socialist ideology.  This deal championed by Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) includes a laundry list of collectivists and destructive policies she pines for.  In just ten years, it would end access to gasoline-powered automobiles, oil and gas production, and other reliable energy sources!  Imagine the utter destruction if she were to become the President.

A second equally destructive proposal is the “Medicare-for-all” plan that Bernie Sanders and others of his ilk support.  When she vied for the Democrat Presidential Nomination in 2019, she made that one of the keystone portions of her policy agenda.

What would those two proposals or ideological aspirations do to America and Americans?  Taxes would skyrocket, inflation would become hyper, and most families would be sent to the poor house and possibly lose everything.  Consumer choice and shortages would be the natural result because many are connected to the fossil fuel industry.  It would affect healthcare, transportation, and virtually everything in our republic. 

Kamala Harris is well known for her illogical ‘word salad’ comments. Yet, in the new presentation of her ability and character, she is wiser than Solomon and the second coming of Jesus Christ. In one of her declarations, she attempted to explain her core ideology by saying, “Everyone ends up in the same place.”  That is Communism! 

Her complete statement was, “Americans must have a goal of saying everybody should end up in the same place. And since we didn’t start in the same place, some folks might need more equitable distribution.”  I believe that is the Leftist plan of ‘redistribution of wealth,’ which would destroy free enterprise.

Her support for ‘DEFUND THE POLICE’ was revealed in a video in which she said, “It’s about upending the system. We need to look at police budgets. More safety with more cops is wrong.”  She also said, “We need to reimagine how we are creating safety.”  She also denied that being an ‘illegal alien’ is a violation of our federal laws, saying, “It is not a crime.”  Well, yes, it is! She also has advocated the dissolution of ICE.

You may hate Donald J. Trump enough that you would vote for Lucifer himself.  I hope that is not the case, but some are so filled with hate, bias, and prejudice that they are unwilling to consider the policies, records, and agendas of the candidates.  The choice is easy for me when I consider the four years of the Trump administration and the almost four years of the Biden-Harris administration.

I have not discussed the myriad ideological stances she embraces that directly violate the Bible. That may not be very meaningful to you, but it is paramount to me. I do not care what gender or ethnicity the candidate is. I care about what they plan to do or desire to do and how it affects America, our system of government, our Republic, and me personally. 

I stand for Faith, Family, and Freedom and ask that you join me in prayer for America. Please Vote to keep America, America!

God bless you, and God bless America!

Our founding fathers were men of great wisdom and incredible foresight. They understood how precarious our liberty was and what was required to keep it. They knew that men’s hearts are bent toward evil and constantly warned that we must carefully examine anyone who desires to hold public office and be willing to fight for our liberty. 

Today, in America, we seem to have forgotten that to some degree.  Let me give you several quotes from our founders and ask that you apply them to today:

“A general dissolution of principles and manners will more surely overthrow the liberties of America than the whole force of the common enemy. While the people are virtuous, they cannot be subdued; but when once they lose their virtue then will be ready to surrender their liberties to the first external or internal invader.” – Samuel Adams

“Before a standing army can rule, the people must be disarmed, as they are in almost every kingdom of Europe. The supreme power in America cannot enforce unjust laws by the sword because the whole body of the people are armed and constitute a force superior to any band of regular troops that can be, on any pretense, raised in the United States.” – Noah Webster

“Give me liberty or give me death.” – Patrick Henry

“Guard with jealous attention the public liberty. Suspect every one who approaches that jewel. Unfortunately, nothing will preserve it but downright force. Whenever you give up that force, you are inevitably ruined.” – Patrick Henry

“The public cannot be too curious concerning the characters of public men.” – Samuel Adams

Samuel Adams, Noah Webster, and Patrick Henry were among some of the most outspoken of our Founders and have eloquently given us something to consider carefully.  We have lost our “virtue,” at least to a degree, in America and must return to it to survive.  There is an assault on our 2^nd Amendment right, and every tyrant in history first disarmed the populace before they moved to take over totally. 

This is part of the Agenda of the Left and the United Nations, so I echo the warning of our Founders. Patrick Henry and Samuel Adams said it right—we must diligently guard our public liberty and carefully examine everyone seeking public office. We must also be willing to die for our freedom in order to preserve it.

We are in perilous times in America and the world.  If we allow the current administration to have another four years in the Whitehouse, I fear there will be no America to defend. 

Therefore, I once again cry out—please remember what is at stake each time you vote. Please examine the facts, listen to what is said, watch what is and has been done, and Vote! Send the Leftists back to wherever they came from and give this country at least a chance to recover, even if it is a slim one!  

May God bless America, and may God bless you!

My title is an understatement of epic proportions!  We are in a moral mess, a societal mess, an economic mess, a political mess, and a mess in virtually every designation of societal life.  We keep trying to fix the problem using the tools that got us in the mess we are in. 

Messes have causes!  We did not get where we are overnight or by osmosis.  It has been systematic and orgasmic.  We have, in a measure, evolved into the condition over a very long period of time.   The erosion of society has many symptoms but only a few root causes.  I will not attempt to enumerate them; I’m not sure I know them all.

However, I am convinced that our major problem in today’s world is not a political, economic, or ethnic problem per se.  It is a heart problem!  By that, I mean we have devolved into a condition of moral decline that has ushered us to the brink of what the Bible calls the “Last Days.” 

The vitriol being spewed from all sides of the political aisle reflects a condition that cannot be resolved politically.  We may help ourselves and temporarily right the ship at the polls, but that will not fix society’s core issues today.  We need outside help to bring us back to rightness.  That help can only come from God!  

If that statement offends you, I am sorry you are offended.  However, I will stand by my assertion, for I believe it with everything in me.  I am a natural-born American, a Vietnam veteran, a patriot, a parent, and most of all, a Christian.  I believe the Bible!  I believe it is the Inspired Word of God, not some mythological book that contains some words from God.  I believe it “is” God’s Inspired Word and our guide for life.

When I look at the condition of people today globally, I can only conclude that we are on the precipice of what the Bible calls “The Last Days.”  I want to address where we are with that in view.  I am not suggesting that we do not need to be involved politically; we do!  But, if we expect to vote our way to sanity, civility, and freedom, we are being delusional. 

Consider some characteristics the Bible declares will characterize people in the “Last Days.”  Then, after you have reviewed them, you can decide what you think.  I hope my presentation will cause each heart to desire to turn back to God or turn more to God and seek to be right within, not just politically or in an argument.

As I consider the craziness of today’s society and compare that to the characteristics of people in the biblical “Last Days,” I find an explanation for why we are where we are.  The devaluing of human life is too prevalent for comfort.  The confusion of gender is deeply troubling. The frequent attempts to eliminate all mention of God from the public square are revealing.  The governmental attempts to destroy the two-parent family structure are alarming. 

We are becoming a world where everyone is a law to themselves and answerable to no one. We are watching the adoption of the idea that there are no absolute truths, which can only lead to a society without core foundational beliefs that help people navigate life in a civil society.

Hate is so prevalent that political agendas take a back seat to personal preference. Entitlement has become so common that people seem willing to sell their freedom and their souls for a government check. Personal responsibility has evaporated, and the easy road of blaming someone or something is the road most traveled.

I believe we can see a respite in the destruction.  However, I do not believe we can see that without returning to our moral moorings and a reinstitution of biblical precepts in society.  Without a change of heart, we are doomed to continue the downward spiral into the abyss of chaos and anarchy.   That condition invites the tyrants who seek total control to ascend to the throne. 

Unfortunately, the wound our world has is a self-inflicted wound.  If you consider this preachy, so be it!  My life, worldview, politics, and societal views are rooted in the Bible.  As long as I have breath, I will stand for Faith, Family, and Freedom!   I believe there is Hope!  I believe that Hope is in God!

Have a fantastic day!  God bless you, and God bless America!
