Former president Ronald Reagan was prophetic and insightful in his declaration when he said, “The most terrifying words in the English language are I’m from the government and I’m here to help.”  With the incredible overstepping of legal, constitutional, moral, biblical, and ethical of many arms of the federal government those words are more than germane they are a living nightmare.

I do not know the extent of the fraud that transpired in the 2020 presidential election. Even though the Democrats, some Republicans, all the media, and other outlets insist, “No Fraud, nothing to see move on,”  Fraud took place!  Was it enough to shift the balance of the election?  I do not know but suspect the answer is yes.  When the counting abruptly ceases and then magically thousands if not hundreds of thousands of votes appear for Joe Biden it is suspect. 

The reverse of the normal procedure in counting votes was disturbing.  In previous elections, the early and absentee votes were counted before election day and were reported first.  In this election in many cases, the mail in ballots were not counted until the count of election day votes was tabulated. Why would that be done?  It could be, I am not saying it was, but it could be to determine how many votes were needed to magically appear to turn the tide to the desired outcome.  If that transpired, America is lost, if it is allowed to stand. 

I wish I had the confidence in the courts to honestly evaluate the evidence and make proper determinations that would toss out the illegitimate ballots, recalculate any changed votes, and correctly count ONLY LEGITIMATE and LEGAL VOTES.  If that is done, I will accept any outcome.  However, if the sworn affidavits of the hundreds if not thousands who witnessed discrepancies and fraud are not evaluated, America’s electoral system is destroyed. 

If the 2020 election was, as the Democrats insist, a referendum against Trump and a mandate to reverse all he has done there is a question I must ask.  Why did the Republicans gain seats in the House of Representatives and the Democrats gain none?  Although the Senate has been in question the normal process when a president is reviled by the voting public, they sweep both Houses of Congress and toss out many of the president’s party.  Since that did not transpire it gives me more reason to question the legitimacy of the Biden vote for president.

I believe in our Republic and our form of democratic representation.  I do not say we are a Democracy for we are not, we are a Republic.  We have a representative form of government that is to be appreciated and protected.  Our wise founding fathers and the framers of the American Constitution were incredibly astute in their pursuit of a system of government that would provide the necessary system of checks and balances.  If we lose that, we lose our Republic and our form of Government. 

I believe in God and believe that God is interested in politics because God is interested in life.  I believe that it is deemed by our Creator an abomination to support abortion and abortion on demand.  I believe that it is an abomination to our Creator to destroy the family unit a basic unit of society that He created and instituted. 

I believe it is an affront to His Creation and purpose to insist on lifestyles that would end the perpetuation of the human race.  I believe that it is important to the Heavenly Father that we be allowed to worship Him freely and openly.  I believe that it is His desire that we are allowed to pray in public and in private and not be restricted to the confines of our homes or the church building.  Therefore, I find it impossible to support the Leftists and their agenda that is antagonistic toward our faith and our constitutional freedom.

We allowed Al Gore over a month to pursue his insistence that the election was stolen from him and ultimately it was decided by the Supreme Court as they struck down his allegations and assertions.  If at the end of this process we discover that no avenue provides adequate evidence to shift the vote in enough states to award President Trump a second term, I can accept that.  I cannot accept whitewashing and ignoring facts or refusing to allow audits of the vote and a thorough examination of the software and procedures utilized.  Failure to do that not only taints the reported outcome it threatens our future as a Constitutional Republic.  That must not transpire.

I continue to stand amazed at the level and depth of vitriolic hatred for the man, Donald John Trump.  When he was candidate Trump in 2016, my first reaction to him was, I don’t like him or better, I did not prefer him.  I had a horse in the race and my horse lasted a long time but faded down the stretch and Trump prevailed. 

As I listened to Trump on the campaign trail, I heard what he expressed as his desire and vision for the Republic I thought, that is what I want too.  As I have watched him serve as president for the past four years I have watched as he, without the proper support of his own party prevail time and again over the Leftist agenda.  He delivered on many of his promises and that is appealing to me and good for the Republic.

I listened after the 2016 election to the Leftist and Never Trump Consortium demand that he had to have cheated to win because Hillary was so far ahead in the polls.  The polls were concoctions of the desire of the Left to crown Hillary with the presidency and continue the Obama fundamental transformation of the Republic.  The people rejected that idea and Donald Trump won the presidency.  Nationally and internationally America is better off than we were under Obama/Biden and now we are asked to believe that the nation wants to return to that disaster.

Is the hate that powerful?  Is the unhinged hatred for this man that pervasive?  Is it his abrasive personality and willingness to push back when pushed that trips the switch in multitudes?  I believe it goes much deeper than that.  It is for those that have been indoctrinated by the Media and the Democratic Establishment and Ad Campaign but what about those in government?  I believe they consider him anathema because he has, in a measure, exposed the depth of the corruption and the breadth of the Swamp and Deep State.  He has fought for America and that is intolerable for those in power.  It threatens their position and power. 

We are hated as deeply as the man, Donald John Trump because we have supported him.  Therefore, if they gain full control of the government we will be diligently sought out and persecuted in whatever measure they can enact.  Our freedoms are in jeopardy including our Freedom of Speech, Freedom of Religion (gatherings), and our right to keep and bear arms.  Our possession of private property will be in their crosshairs as will many other freedoms and liberties.  Did America truly vote for that or was it the product of extensive and massive well-orchestrated fraud?

God help us and may God bless you and America again!

Now that the voting is complete and the battle for honesty, integrity, and legitimacy is being pursued there are some who insist that all non-Leftists should hang their harps on the willow branches and sit around the campfire singing Kumbaya.  I do not believe that is a legitimate option because there is still much work to be done.  I guess it depends on which side of the political aisle you sit and how you view the election as to what your choice of pathway is.  In my view, we must realize that the voting is complete but in many respects, the battle for our Constitutional Rights has just begun.

I want to say something at the outset before I engage in the designed and desired topic of Constitutional Rights in 2020 America and beyond.  “I am fed up with Hate!”  I have had people who profess to be Christians with such animosity and animus toward Donald John Trump that they insist that it was imperative that he be defeated because he is the embodiment of evil and everything anti-biblical.  I hear “hate” that is so overflowing and vile it is alarming. 

I refer to the Bible and 1 John 2.  The apostle John, speaking through the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, declared the impact of ‘hate’.  If you call yourself a Christian and you hate, the Bible says you are, at best, deceived, and at worst, a liar.  In fact, in verse 9 we read, “The one who says he is in the light and yet hates his brother is in darkness until now.”  Do not argue that means you only have to love other Christians, it does not.  It means if you cannot love people and reject hate, you are exhibiting the qualities and character of the enemy of love and the enemy of God, the devil. 

Hate is incredibly powerful and hate like love and almost everything else in life is a choice.  If you allow hate to drive your actions and reactions, you are in a spiritual prison that can only lead to destruction.  There is no life in hate only death. 

Our nation cannot survive a continuation of the vitriolic hate that has been manifested since the elections of 2016.  Former President Barack Hussein Obama charged that Trump was elected in 2016 because America was ‘spooked’ by a Black Man in the White House.  Racism did play a part, but it was not Trump’s racism or his supporters but the racism advanced, embraced, espoused, and engendered by Barack Obama and his cohorts in government, the media, Hollywood, etc.  Hate because a cornerstone of his administration and he and Joe Biden sought to ‘fundamentally transform’ America and strip Americans of many of our Constitutional Rights. 

I have contended for a long time something that is rapidly becoming a foundation block in my appeal.  My cry is that All Americans turn their focus upon God and then upon Congress, the Courts, State Governments, Local City Governments, and auxiliary offices such as School Boards, etc.  We have, for too long, attempted to change the culture of politics by focusing on the National Elections failing to realize that if the foundation is solid the structure will be as well. 

If the grassroots are strongly rooted in constitutional principles and we manage to win a majority, from the local to the national level we can influence Washington positively and effectively.  Our historic problem has been we have elected politicians to represent us in Washington and they have the propensity to make campaign promises which they ignore once in the hallowed halls of Congress.  Unfortunately, we have allowed them to escape the consequences of failing us and returned them to DC time and again.  But if we had the foundation right those individuals would ignore our wishes with great trepidation knowing there would be swift consequences for failure.

One issue that cannot be ignored is the 2^nd Amendment and our individual right to ‘keep and bear arms.’  When the American Constitution was hammered out there were two significant opposing forces seeking compromise and common ground on many things.  However, one thing that the Federalists and Anti-Federalists agreed upon was the right of citizens to be armed. 

The Anti-Federalists did not want a standing army and the Federalists did.  However, neither wanted to disarm the citizens.  Both sides believed that armed citizens could and would take responsibility, in a large measure, for their own security, and exhibit and cultivate the self-reliance and vigorous spirit that are indispensable for true self-government.  Of course, that view is anathema to the liberal progressive view of most Democrats.

The Constitution was designed to suppress the tendencies of human nature to become overly ambitious politically which ultimately leads to soft or hard tyranny.  Of course, we have a much different society and the world than they did in the late 1700s.  Much has changed both for the better and worse but one thing that is constant is the depravity of man and the propensity of man to seek power. 

The Elitist Left has been seeking to infringe on our 2^nd Amendment rights for decades and sadly, some on the right are falling into agreement with their views.  It is all being done under the guise of making everyone safer, but the empirical evidence suggests the exact opposite.  Unfortunately, many if not most lawyers have been heavily involved in this war against the individual right to ‘keep and bear arms’ as guaranteed by our Constitution. 

Alexis de Tocqueville believed and warned that lawyers would eventually become somewhat of a democratic aristocracy to our hurt.  Until 2008 not one federal judge had sustained a challenge to the Second Amendment but that is shifting with each new Congress, set of judicial appointments, and the advancement of the liberal progressive agenda.

I have been appalled at some, so-called constitutionalists and conservatives including the late Dr. Charles Krauthammer on the issue of ‘gun rights’ and ‘gun control.’  He was found to often lament this issue.  He said, “unless you are prepared to confiscate all existing firearms, disarm the citizenry and repeal the Second Amendment, it’s almost impossible to draft or craft a law that will be effective.”  He did not stop there but said, “Ultimately, a civilized society must disarm its citizenry if it is to have a modicum of domestic tranquility of the kind enjoyed in sister democracies like Canada and Britain.”

When he said it, I thought “Seriously, Dr. Krauthammer?”  Do you honestly think there is no violence in those nations?  How about the cities in the United States with incredibly stringent gun control laws and virtual gun bans citywide?  How is that working out?  Have you considered the states and cities where people are allowed, to ‘keep and bear arms?’  In those areas, violent crime has been reduced.  You and the liberal progressives are completely missing the point.

The 2^nd Amendment was not designed to protect State Militias’ right to ‘keep and bear arms’ and to suggest that is what it intends is ludicrous.  That would not be necessary and would not have been included in the Bill of Rights were that the case.  No, the founders sought to ensure that citizens would maintain their inalienable right of ‘self-defense’ and to effect that their right to ‘keep and bear arms’ had to be protected.  Thus, the 2^nd Amendment!  In the Constitution and Bill of Rights, the founders expressed the recognition of certain inalienable rights which included ‘self-preservation’ which by implication includes the ability and right of ‘self-defense’ and to facilitate that is the ‘right to keep and bear arms.’  

Roger Sherman reemphasized the sentiments of John Locke regarding the strong connection between individual and collective self-defense.  His position was: [Sherman] conceived it to be the privilege of every citizen, and one of his most essential rights, to bear arms, and to resist every attack upon his liberty or property, by whomsoever made. The particular states, like private citizens, have a right to be armed, and to defend, by force of arms, their rights, when invaded.

Gun control has been implemented by tyrants throughout history.  Before a tyrant can gain complete control, he must effectively disarm the citizens.  However, it is more than just protecting ourselves against tyrannical governments it is a basic inalienable right to protect and defend our person and property.  No legitimate government has the right to infringe upon that right.  So, my fight is to ensure that my elected representatives are staunch supporters of the 2^nd Amendment when push comes to shove not just giving flowery assent to the idea. 

There are many more issues on the table including our 1^st Amendment Rights of Freedom of Speech, Religion, and Peaceable Assembly.  There is the issue of Private Property Rights, Taxation, Abortion on Demand, Illegal Immigration, Open Borders, Obamacare, and Churches.  There is the issue of Freedom of Travel and the infringement of the declared hope of the Declaration of Independence that all Americans would enjoy the Right to Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness.

America, we can fold our tents, hang our harps on the willow branches, and sing Kumbaya around the campfire like docile sheep or we can stand for our God-given Rights.  I will stand, as long as I have breath, for Faith, Family, and Freedom.

God, bless you and God bless America!

A few days ago, the powers that operate the social media outlet of Facebook notified me that I had violated their community standards on both my personal and ministry pages.  They issued a sentence of 30 days in the Facebook jail and they have refused to inform me of the specific violations or to allow me to face my accusers.  They seemed to be a bit put off when I reminded them of my biblical and constitutional rights to both know the specific charges and face any accusers.  An appeal is not an option with them, in my case so I write as an inmate of sorts.

Why do I include that in this blog that is not controlled by that social media outlet?  I do it because I watch what is happening in the world and since I cannot reach out to the 5,000 on my friend’s list and the others who follow me on that medium, I cannot address anything.  I was not allowed to inform anyone of my incarceration and ban and that seems a bit capricious and arbitrary but that is how the Leftists operate.

Another thing that Facebook has done is allow me to see what others are posting but block me from responding.  That is, in a measure, cruel and unusual punishment.  Not only have they prohibited me from my constitutional and biblical right of Free Speech but have further exasperated the situation by permitting me to see but not say anything. 

That has produced a sense in my heart of what helplessness feels like.  All of us have and do feel helpless from time to time and those of us who are believers in the Lord Jesus Christ and the Bible know we are far from helpless.  I truly did not know how much Facebook touched my life and have been addressing that in my heart and with the LORD.  The sadness is that I would like to speak but am disallowed and feel robbed that I cannot offer any comfort or possible guidance to those crying out for sanity and direction.

I had the misfortune of hearing part of Joe Biden’s address upon being crowned “President-Elect” by the media.  He may be the next president after all the litigation is complete.  Has there been “Fraud in the Election”?  In my mind, that is beyond question.  Will it be exposed sufficiently that Biden is stripped of his title, “President-Elect”?  I do not know.  The larger issue is what it means in the elections to come.  If this is allowed to stand and if there was sufficient fraud to shift an election that means we can never again have a legitimate election in America.  That is a death sentence for Constitutional Government.

Biden spoke of a mandate and that caused me to continue listening when otherwise I would have moved on.  I don’t need to hear the wind blow to know that it is blowing.  I can see and feel the effects of the political lunacy without the need to subject myself to the needless anger that comes from listening.  I have enough difficulty with my thoughts to willingly expose myself to issues that damage my faith and focus.

The mandate that Biden spoke of included numerous things, some I wish to address briefly if you will bear with me.  He spoke of science regarding the pandemic and climate.  Science?  The theory of man-made climate change or global warming or whatever they are calling it will destroy our economy and will result in a direct assault on the fossil fuel industry and expand to every facet of society. 

It will ultimately reach their attempt to control the type and location of housing, travel, and many other factors.  It will ultimately require the government to tax us more and more attempting to pay for their flawed ideological pursuits.  It ignores the God of Creation and makes man the god of his creation as it attempts to control what only God can control.  The cost financially, morally, spiritually, and politically will be unsustainable.

 Biden feels he has a mandate to force us into Obamacare on steroids, social justice that will kowtow to organizations such as BLM, Antifa, LGBTQ, and a myriad of other elements now embodying the Democratic Party.  He will find that the Bernie Sanders and AOC radicals of the Party must be appeased.  He will discover that the Gun Activists, the Censors of Freedom of Speech elements will demand their share of the political pie.  The Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, Adam Schiff, and those in the Establishment will demand a seat at the table.  He will be nothing more than a vehicle through with America is fundamentally transformed, which will ultimately mean destroyed.

Biden made a most interesting statement and the media were fawning over it as though it were somehow a new revelation of how to heal America. The way the media touted his comments, I wondered if Biden had somehow become Jesus! He has not, but that’s how they reacted and want us to react.

He said, “If not cooperating was a decision, we could make the decision to cooperate.”  That’s right, Joe but to insist that those of us who voted for Trump and the elected Republicans in Congress suddenly compromise and cooperate is a bit hypocritical isn’t it?  NO, it is totally hypocritical or a revelation of a mind that is so deluded with lies that it is pathological.

Where was the cooperation during the past four years?  Where was the willingness to work together and the compromise?  It was and is non-existent.  Now, you, as America’s great healer want everyone to become docile sheep and cooperative as you implement your plans to destroy much of this nation.

If this stands and Biden is sworn in on January 20, 2021, assuming he lasts the first year of his term, destruction will come.  If the probable fraud that took place in Georgia and other parts of the nation is implemented in the Senatorial runoff elections, the Democrats will, with a Biden Presidency, control both houses of Congress. 

That would guarantee an immediate rollback of the Trump Tax Cuts.  It would mean an immediate effort to control and restrict our ‘Right to Keep and Bear Arms.’  It would mean the full imposition of Obamacare.  It would mean that our Nation would have 2-4 new states guaranteeing the Democrats permanent control of the Senate.  It would mean an increase and packing of the Supreme Court with liberal activist Jurist.  It would mean that probable and likely irreversible destruction has come to America.

I have not touched on the assault on our religious liberties and the free expression of our faith.  I have not addressed the pandemic, COVID-19, the virus.  Will, it suddenly go away and become a non-issue, or will it be used to impose more Gestapo type restrictions on Americans?  I truly wonder what those who frothed at the mouth over Trump and were willing to sell America’s soul to defeat him will say when the full brunt of destruction is realized?  I suspect they will never admit their error or repent. 

I speak now to the Christians and those who love Liberty and Freedom.  It is not time to give up or grow silent.  We may be silenced and persecuted for our views but if we willingly grow silent, we make their path to our destruction easy.  I bow to no man only to God.  It is time that we pray as we have never prayed.  It is time we turn our hearts to God totally.  It is time that we study the Constitution and political process so that we can intelligently and factually speak to our elected officials.  It is time that we do what we neglected to do in the past and allowed this to transpire – Become Involved!

America, from my Facebook prison cell, I speak and urge you to “Look Up our Redemption is drawing near.  Now is not the time to despair, now is the time to Trust God, and follow His directives.  We must not quit and give up.”  I say with Patrick Henry, “Give me liberty or…”  Well, you know the rest of it.  I don’t want that end, but Freedom is worth fighting for and dying for.  I stand firmly for Faith, Family, and Freedom!

God bless you and God bless America!

The the voting is over and the counting continues. When the dust settles America must decide to abide in the Republic we were given in the 1700s or allow ourselves to become fundamentally transformed by the Leftist.  The fight for freedom is never a one election or one-time event, but a perpetual effort.  The fight for liberty is not a fight for yourself or this present generation but a fight for posterity.  Our founding fathers understood this reality, expressed it, and took incredibly wise steps to provide a pathway to continued liberty through republicanism.

The founders and framers of our constitution and system of government understood the incredibly grave dangers of direct democracies and the incredible benefit and possibilities found in republics.  They objected to oligarchies, monarchies, dictatorships, and sought to provide a government that could be of the people, by the people, and for the people. 

Any time humans attain power and position the tendency is to gravitate toward rulership and a corrupt mentality.  The insightful words of Lord Acton, the 19^th-century British historian come to mind and should be remembered. He said, “Power tends to corrupt and absolute power corrupts absolutely.”  I believe that although there is an element of truth in that statement there is a reality that extends beyond it and speaks more fully to the issue.  That is, “Power does not corrupt; it heightens pre-existing ethical tendencies.”  Abraham Lincoln seemed to understand that reality when he said, “Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man’s character, give him power.”

The issue of freedom and its antagonist, power can be noted in the Bible in the Gospel of John.  In John 11, the religious hierarchy was deeply disturbed by the miracles of Jesus and said, “If we let Him go on like this, all men will believe Him, and the Romans will come and take away both our place and our nation.”  (v.48).  They were concerned with the loss of power, position, and prominence not the benefit of the people or mankind.  That is the same root that is prevalent in the world of politics, business, and virtually every segment of society.  The quest for control and power and the willingness to do whatever is necessary to maintain must be guarded against.

In America, we were provided a Constitution that identified what the government was permitted to do and specified that all else was off-limits.  The professional politicians, who make up the bureaucracy embodied in Congress, many of the Courts, and the various Agencies of government want power. 

Our political system has evolved into a corrupt entity that focuses more on self-perpetuation than the benefit of the republic or the citizens.  We are secondary and deemed uninformed as to what should transpire.  We provide the votes and the money for them to fulfill their ambitions and if we receive a benefit in the process that is a bonus.  They believe we should be groveling grateful for any tidbit they toss us and should never question or complain.

I rediscovered a document that was published on January 19, 1961, that caught my attention and reminded me of the requirement upon each of us in this fight for freedom.  Regardless of the purpose of the article, it makes several statements that are perpetually germane in the discussion and pursuit of freedom.  It was a statement by Earl W. Kintner, Chairman of the Federal Trade Commission in a meeting with the Better Business Bureau of Memphis, Tennessee.  He said, “Freedom is difficult to define.  Yet a society dedicated to individualism must somehow perform this difficult task of definition if it is to survive.” 

I am convinced that if we are to maintain freedom and liberty in America, we must define what we desire to preserve.  If we do not know what freedom is how will take the proper steps to preserve or achieve it?  Mr. Kintner went on to say, “A working concept of freedom must somehow equate the rights of one and the rights of many, the rights of the individual and the rights of society.  Too much deference to the rights of the individual produces anarchy; too much deference to the rights of the mass produces a faceless tyranny.  Obviously, a balance must be struck.”

I hear people repeatedly say, “Well we are a democracy, and the majority rules.”  I feel compelled to remind everyone, we are not a direct democracy but a republic.  Our founders detailed with incredible accuracy the dangers of being a direct democracy and the benefits of a republican form of government. 

That is why they provided the system of checks and balances in the three branches of government.  A distinction that corruption has blurred to our hurt.  They provided the electoral college system to ensure that each state has proper representation in the selection of the President.  A direct majority rule policy would relegate that selection to the East and West Coasts with pockets of large liberal Urban centers in the midsection of the nation.

Our political and economic systems are seen at their best when they allow the individual the greatest opportunity for unfettered self-improvement.  Strangling government regulations, exorbitant taxation, loss of liberties such as speech, religion, self-defense, and movement all diminish freedom and open the door to tyranny.  Freedom is not without obstacles and only as we take the proper steps to prevent political corruption from stripping us of our liberties can we remain free.  We must decide if we will take those actions.  Our votes indicated our decision not our actions in the years to come will define our resolve.

Many of those who came to America, in the beginning, came in pursuit of religious liberty and to escape oligarchies and the tyranny of self-serving monarchs.  They persevered through some daunting obstacles and difficulties with an unshakable conviction that a society could be built based on God’s Word and His Laws.  For over 240 years America has enjoyed unprecedented freedom and liberty and over the past decade or so those liberties have become the target of the politically corrupt.

In our early years and even in my early years there was evidence of spiritual revivals that helped America maintain a strong moral and spiritual value system that promoted personal accountability and responsibility.  There was a measure of self-reliance without viewing the self as omnipotent but in our respect for the moral values of the Bible, a strong work ethic, and recognizable value place on family we thrived.  Since the Great Society of LBJ, we have been traveling at light speed toward the disruption of those values, and today we are at a significant crossroads.  What road do we take?  Freedom and Liberty or do we acquiesce and surrender to the political power mongers and become enslaved without chains?

I pray that we will discover or rediscover, before it is too late, that Freedom is not without a price and will unite in demanding that all politicians at all levels will honor the Constitution, respect our inalienable rights, and return to being a government of the people, by the people, and for the people.  We have the power if we unite.  We have no power if we remain divided!

God bless you and God bless America!

Tomorrow we will make the final determination regarding the 2020 Election regarding who will be the next president of these United States. I can envision two potential headlines.  Neither will be seen in the media but will be the reality and written on the hearts of multiplied millions.  Without attempting to tease you with the two headlines I will give them to you. I do not give them in order of expectation or desire.

Headline Number One: “Biden Wins Freedom Ends!”  I am quite sure the media would never print that, but it will be the truth should he and the Leftist win in November.  They have openly declared the opposition to many basic constitutional guarantees.  They have openly expressed their intent to destroy many things in our economy.  Biden has openly stated that he is more than willing to ‘lockdown’ the nation again.  There is little doubt that the Democratic Governors, Mayors, County Judges, etc. that are running sectors of our nation would capitalize on Biden’s willingness to allow them to impose tyrannical rule.  That, in my view, would clearly and openly valid my headline, “Biden Wins Freedom Ends!” 

Headline Number Two: “Trump Wins Renewal Begins!”  Renewal?  Yes, renewal of the American Dream.  Renewal of American Excellence.  Renewal of our Economy propelling it back to where it was before the pandemonium paranoia of the pandemic.  Renewal of our hope to have Constitutional Government and Draining the Swamp.  No, I do not say that if Trump wins, we will immediately see restoration but there will be a resurgence of hope. 

Should, a Trump victory also include keeping the Senate and miraculously reclaiming the House of Representatives we could see incredible progress in the next four years.  We could take great strides in uncovering the incredibly deep and long-standing corruption of Washington.  We could see some needed transformation in our Intelligence Community, various bureaucracies, and education.  We could see our history preserved so that we can learn from our past mistakes and move forward positively in resolving our differences.  We would see the protection of our 1^st and 2^nd Amendment Rights as well as a restoration of personal freedom and liberty.

Should Biden win we will see massive government controls reinstated.  We will see taxes soar through the roof.  We will see the disruption if not the destruction of the fossil fuel industry and thereby cripple our economy and make us dependent on foreign oil again.  We will see our enemies thrive and our friends withdraw in uncertainty.  We will see massive regulations by Big Tech and Social Media on Freedom of Speech for anyone not drinking at the altar of Liberalism and Political Correctness.  Corruption will reign supreme and the Career Politicians will, once again, become the ruling kingpins in Washington with nothing to impede them.

When I consider matters that are directly connected to my faith and the Bible’s message, I am required to examine the platforms of the two major political parties and the two major candidates.  I examine their history as well as the fruit of their time in their elected positions.  I examine their stance on issues such as abortion (life).  I examine their positions on religious freedoms and the free exercise of our faith.  I examine their positions on family, education, national sovereignty, foreign relations, and self-defense.  I examine their position regarding the government’s right to rule as opposed to having a Constitutionally limited government.  I view the candidates, not based on personality but position, policy, and platform.  I ask if they are keepers of their promises or are, the career politicians who are more interested in their bottom line than America. 

You may argue that Biden is equal to or better than Trump on all those fronts.  However, if you honestly consider Biden’s and the Democratic Party’s position on abortion, family, Freedom of Speech for everyone, the right to keep and bear arms, taxation, and limited government you realize their position is tyrannical, not limited. Conversely, if you consider Trump and the national Republican platform on those issues you discover they embrace the idea of limited government and are supporters of the Constitutional guidelines and guarantees.  Therefore, for this American, there is only one choice and it is Yes on Trump and No on Biden.

The headline that I hold in my heart is “Jesus Wins!”  I try to not look at what I see happening and become overly influenced negatively by the bad that is happening.  I am not a denier of reality or a blind optimist.  I follow the biblical directive to “Look to God my true source.”  As I focus on God, His Word, and the American Spirit that I believe still lives in the hearts of millions I stand strong in the belief that America will awaken from slumber.  I pray that the millions who voted without voicing an opinion in the polls and propelled Trump to victory over the disaster identified as Hillary Clinton will once again turn out and turn up on November 3, 2020. 

But, on November 4, 2020, or whenever the final votes are counted and the massive voter fraud exposed and the ballot harvesting rejected, if it is, we will have one of those two headlines.  Which will you fight to make a reality?  Will the headline you help make be – “Biden Wins Freedom Ends” or “Trump Wins Renewal Begins”?    We hours away from that reality and the decision is in our hands.  I believe that it is in the hands of those who believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and are Christians.  I believe that through prayer and voting our biblical conscience will produce the needed victory.  Will I be proven right, or will I be proven wrong and my confidence validated or refuted?  We will know soon.

The Headline I hope for is “Trump Wins Renewal Begins” and in the body of that story America will once again move toward being “One nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.”  We will move toward the vision of the Declaration of Independence that we are a nation that “hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men (and women) are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness.”  That is my desire and that is my declaration!  I pray that America remains the Free Constitutional Republic we are created to be!

God bless you and may the wisdom of God guide you in your decision on November 3, 2020.  America survives and thrives or dies based on our decisions in this election.  As for me and my house, we voted for Freedom and Liberty standing for Faith, Family, and Freedom!

Have a Great Day, God bless America!

For those who are not Christians, my title and topic may not be of significant interest to you, but I hope you will read it.  For those who are Christians, you may take offense to some of what I am going to say, but I hope you will read it.  I love God and love America more than words can express.  I am not claiming to love more than anyone reading, but desire to speak what I sense in my heart.  I hope it will resonate and even challenge hearts.  If it does, then I have succeeded.  If it does not, then I have used up some of your time and I hope you will forgive me.

I believe that Jesus is coming back as the Bible says!  I believe that He is in heaven preparing a place for those who have accepted God’s offer of mercy, grace, and salvation.  I believe that perilous times are going to be the earmark of what the Bible calls the Last Days.  I believe that there will come a time when Jesus will return, and we will leave this world behind.  However, I do not believe God ever intended His people to cease working, cease impacting our world, and simply await that return.  He is not coming like the Cavalry to Save the Day and Rescue us from the devil.

I say that because the Bible makes it clear that Jesus defeated the devil.  It makes it clear that Jesus is building His Church and that Church is to reflect His Glory and do the works that Jesus did and even greater works through the Power of the Holy Spirit.  We are to be salt and light in this earth and if we are, we will influence our world rather than it influencing us.  Sadly, I observe churches and Christians who spend more time worrying about the devil than doing damage to his realm I am troubled.  I believe the devil should be more concerned about what we are up to than we about what he is up to.  He has been defeated! 

I do not desire to make this a sermon or majorly a religious article but to challenge those who are believers in the Lord Jesus Christ and members of the Body of Christ to WAKE UP!  I would hope that All Americans awaken and realize the dangers facing our world today. I go back to the directive of 2 Chronicles 7:14 and remind everyone that directive was not to the world or the government but the Family of God.  It is God’s People! 

Forgive me for not citing every Bible reference for what I am contending.  I can but it would reduce the amount of space that I have to attempt to articulate the cry of my heart.  The Bible teaches that we are to be Watchmen on the Wall and if we see danger to Sound the Alarm.  We are to live in this world, but not be of this world in the sense that it has total influence over our lives, thinking, and manner of living.  We have a higher law than the American Constitution or any edicts enacted by any government, God’s Law.  That Law supersedes all opinions or laws.  It is the highest moral law possible and it brings life and liberty.

We are in a War today!  But it is a weird war in the sense that the enemy we fight is not flesh and blood.  The Democrats nor the Republicans are our enemies, evil is!  However, since we live in this world, we are subject to the laws and position the government takes on all matters.  If those laws violate God’s moral law, we are instructed to identify that issue and like the disciples in the Book of Acts, Daniel and the Three Hebrew Children in the Old Testament, and refuse.  It may cost us our lives but not our souls and our souls are worth more than our physical lives.

Jesus said that if we deny Him before men, He would deny us before the Father.  If someone were to attack our home and family, most of us would resist to the death if necessary, to protect our loved ones and even our property.  If we saw a pedophile attacking a child, most of us would react with force to prevent that horrific violation from occurring.  We have evil rampant around us and it exists in our government through laws that violate our conscience, and the constitution.  That demands that any moral individual become involved.  In my view, failing to take a stand would be to deny what Jesus died for and thereby deny Him before men.

If we adopt the idea that God is on a Rescue Mission and evil has become so vile that He and we can do nothing but escape that is troubling.  In my view, it is an insult to the heart, character, power, and Word of God.  Jesus said that He had been given All Authority in Heaven and on Earth and He authorized us to go in His name.  If I hide waiting for Him to return, I am not complying with His directive to work while it is yet day.  If I ignore the issues of this day and fail to impact my world for good through the power and presence of God I am not occupying until He comes, I am hiding.  I am not becoming the enforcer of His victory on the Cross as He directed. 

Numerous matters are so mountainous they cannot be overlooked. Abortion, Abortion on Demand, and Live Birth Abortion are among those.  America has been complicit in the slaughter of over 61 million unborn babies. Today, there is the practice, though often denied, but exposed, of harvesting tissue and body parts for sale.  That is no less evil than the practice of human sacrifice practices by any society in history.  As a Christian, I cannot sit silent, hoping for Jesus to come and not become involved in an attempt to stop this genocide. 

There are millions if not billions of souls that are unconverted and on their way to an eternal hell without God.  You may not believe in hell, but I do, and the Bible teaches its reality.  If we shelter in place waiting for Jesus to come on a Rescue Mission and cease our involvement and labor, we become complicity with the doom of those souls. 

There are those in government who would not only limit or ban religious gatherings but would restrict what can be said, how many can attend, and deny the gospel witness to millions.  As a Christian, I cannot sit silent, hoping for Jesus to come and not become involved in attempting to stop this insanity and infringement on our God-given Right to Worship.

I believe Jesus is coming back but I also believe that God intends that we stay occupied and involved up to that moment.  We dare not shirk our Christian and Civic responsibility and duty.  We are to warn when we see danger and violations of what is morally and biblically right. If Christ is in us and according to the Bible He is, then we are to influence and even infect the world rather than vice versa. 

If we take our position, commission, and mission seriously we will realize that the world needs us to manifest Jesus every day in everything we do.  I would argue that it is the duty of every American and lover of Freedom to impact your surroundings for what is Right and Good, constitutionally, and morally. 

Let me place my head on the chopping block with this declaration.  I believe that if we become more focused on what is wrong than God’s Person, Purpose, Power, and Promise we will be infected and affected by the world rather than affecting it and producing a change in our society.  I also believe that if we focus more on the Return of Jesus than the Mission before us and fail to look at the World as a whitened harvest field, we will become more affected by the world than affecting it.

Well, I tried to make this something other than a sermon but appear to have failed.  However, if we want to preserve our Liberty and Freedom in America and remain the Land of the Free it is imperative that the Believers, Preachers, and Patriots become involved.  We must address what is wrong and reject the attempts of any politician or political party to infringe upon our Inalienable Rights and pursue agendas that do not value every life and respect our individual Rights that our Declaration and Constitution, as well as the Bible, identify.

I don’t care what political party you belong, to this election is not about personalities.  None of the candidates are saints.  This is about policy, agenda, and platform.  This is about preserving Constitutional Liberty and Law and Order.  This is about Living Free or Living in the Tyrannical Clutches of Politicians who want to be Dictators or form an Oligarchy that dictates every dimension of our lives. 

Christians, you cannot ignore the reality of our condition nor remain on the fence or silent.  Pastors, if you are a true shepherd you must warn when you see dangers and you must preach the Gospel as Jesus and the disciples taught it.  Patriots, you cannot abandon your fight for Freedom.  If we fail, we will pay a price far beyond that anyone expects or envisions.

God bless you as you choose how you will cast your ballot in November!  God bless America!
