Freedom or Slavery

As I write this the election for president, who wins, who loses and the fate of one ideological construct over another hangs in the balance. The truth be told, one group of leftist ideologues hopes to disolve the idea of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Free speech, if it doesn't line up with a leftist/marxist view must be eradiated. Freedom of religion, to worship the God our founding fathers knew of and believed in and gleaned from for the documents that have directed our lives for over two centuries now, must be silenced. 


Judeo Christian teaching has been branded an enemy of the state, (the democrats basically booed God out of their convention in 2012....I myself witnessed this. Even the Methodist pastor at the podium was shocked...)

Christianity must be erased-- disavowed, wiped from the papes of history. For Jesus the Christ is seen as a hinderance to the life of those who want to satisfy their evil wants, wicked desires and freshly lusts of those believe God is a kill joy to lives they believe to be free. And those who want the Christian God gone from the annals of history. (They are not truly free. They are slaves to sin, and by nature children of God's wrath Romans 6; Eph 2:1-80) 


 The mantra of the left is believe what we believe or be an outcast, shut up, be gone, be dead. Sounds much like another oppressive ideology. The religion of Islam. What do leftists want? The dismantling of the republic. The dissolution of the middle class. And most of all they want power. They want to be in control to direct every aspect of our lives. And our death.

 Joe Biden has himself said he is in favor of late term abortion. DEATH to the unborn top priority. That takes money. And of course the new socialist marxist government will have it. Your money to fund more abortions when everyones (not just the rich) taxes are raised. It will happen. 

A marxist leftist party of democrats (so called) will be sure to take away the success President Trump has allowed the oil industry to have domestically which has kept our gas prices low. Add a new gas tax, raise the price of vehicles, and discourage travel by exorbitant taxes that will eat away at every working American's hard earned dollars. 

 And that green new deal so called. That will utterly destroy commerce in the most damaging way anyone could imagine. Food prices will elevate to levels no one has ever seen before. Cutting into profits of grocery stores and the paychecks of everyday ordinary Americans. Who still have jobs. 

The trucking industry, by which our store  shelves are stacked high with products we have become accustomed will be inexorably harmed. Fuel prices will skyrocket with gas prices at the pump reaching 6 dollars or more a gallon.

 This will affect travel, vacation destinations and logically the tourist industry. Disney, Universal, Sea World, and other theme parks will find it virtually impossible to recover from the Covid 19 shutdown of the economy. More furloughs will be tuned to layoffs and more layoffs will be a part of life as thousands upon thousands of workers will struggle to regain a semblance of normalcy that sadly will be out of reach.

Of course,when people don't have the funds to travel during their vacation that affects the airline industry as well. Less planes flying means less airline personnal needed. And more jobs thrown on the ash heap of irrelative activity. 

 The shutdown of the economy over Covid 19 now has already caused irreparable harm with less people willing to take a chance to travel to popular vacation destinations. Add to that another lockdown proposed by former vice president Joe Biden spells disaster that will take many more years to recover, if it ever happens. More people thrown into the pit of moneyless despair.

 Home ownership and private property ownership will eventually disappear. The socialist/marxist government will own everything. (you are assigned a place to live, there is no choice) Real estate agents a thing of the past. 

Then there's the constitution. the liberal/leftists socialist marxists... (communisits actually) professors have been teaching this for years in our Colleges. Those young mostly white young men and women smashing, looting, burning,  yelling "tear it all down" "death to the police" "defund law enforcement" "dismantle the jails" "release all those incarcerated in prison...." have been taught well at the expense of clueless parents...who spent thousands and thousands of dollars for their childrens education in rebellious terrorism. These will dismantle it piece by piece. 

and with the second amendment in their crosshairs, it will probably the first to go. Disarm the populace first so that they can't resist.And there's talk on the left of defunding the police. And what about the Israel/Saudi Arabian deal. Nothing has been approved yet. a Biden administration may want to link Israeli normalization with the Saudis to progress in negotiations with the Palestinians, a reversal of the Trump administration tactic of pressuring the Palestinians to work with Israel by moving ahead with Arab normalization deals without them. A Biden administration would throw yet another large wrench into the situation by restoring the Iran Nuclear Deal, in which the U.S. freed up Iranian assets — even sending pallets of cash to the mullahs — in exchange for almost certainly empty promises not to pursue nuclear weapons. Trump’s rejection of this deal, along with his assassination of Quds Force General Qassem Soleimani, marginalized Iran and enabled Arab states to make deals with Israel.(PJ Media)

Then there's Christianity. It will be tested beyond anything we have ever experienced in this country. Doctrines will be challenged and considered forbidden fruit that inhibits the growth and operation of the socalist/marxist regrime.

Jesus as the only way to salvation, His sacrifice on the cross, His shedding of blood for the forgiveness of sin, his bodily resurrection and ascension to heaven and that he is Kings of Kings and Lord of Lords, that without Him there's a certain fearful expectation of the judgement of God in an eternity called hell. 

These will be labeled subversive and offensively barbaric, (its already seen like that to many in so called churches today and many of those doctrines just aren't preached) and anyone who speaks of these things will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

 There is the Good News (the Gospel-Jesus came to save His people from their sins) and bad news (without Christ Jesus you fall into the hands of the living God who is a consuming fire.)


The bad news is simple and plain in Scripture: all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. There is no one righteous, no not one. Without the shedding of Blood there is no forgiveness. All must be born again, must be regenerated by the power of the holy spirit (not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit, Titus 3:5-6 ) (But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name: who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. John 1: 12 )

 And believing in the Name of Jesus Christ is more than saying a prayer and continuing to sin as if nothing ever happened. It is a heart change and realization that you have transgressed (committed an offense) against the one who has created and loved you that you may spend an eternity with Him. (Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new. 2 cor 5:17) 

 God doesn't save someone because he sees a little good in them and somehow they would make a fine addition to his eternal kingdom...He bestows His grace (receiving what you don't deserve) and plucks you from the darkness of this present evil age (Gal 1:4) into the kingdom of the Son of His love, In whom you have redemption, through His blood, The forgiveness of sins. You recieve God's indescribable gift of mercy. (not receiving what you do deserve--an eternity separated from the presense of God and the glory of His power. 2 Thess 1:7-10) 

 Jesus said to the people "You Must be perfect as the Father in heaven is perfect." Only One fullfilled that requirement. As Jesus replied "I am the way, the truth and the life. NO ONE comes to the Father except through me." (John 14:6)

 BUT the Good News (The gospel) is this: If you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord and believe in your heart that raised Him from the dead. You will be saved. (Romans 10:9) 

Salvation is not accomplished through an unregenerate sinners works. (by grace are you saved through faith and not of yourselves, it is a gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast. Eph 2:8-10) 

But good works are the result of a regenerate (born again) sinners life. Eph 2:10 For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them. 

If you believe the truth of the Gospel....if you trust and obey....Know this.... In this life you will (not may but will) have tribulation...(Christ suffered for us leaving us an example that you should follow in his steps. 1Peter 2:21) But be of good cheer....for Christ has overcome the world.

For our citizenship is in heaven, from which we also eagerly wait for the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, who will transform our lowly body that it may be conformed to His glorious body, (Phil 3:20-21) Behold what manner of love the Father has bestowed on us, that we should be called children of God! Therefore the world does not know us, because it did not know Him. Beloved, now we are children of God; and it has not yet been revealed what we shall be, but we know that when He is revealed, we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is. And everyone who has this hope in Him purifies himself, just as He is pure.(1 John 3:1-3)

 This life is a mist, a vapor and all too soon it is over. The judgement seat of Christ awaits every single human being. Will he say "well done good and faithful servant, enter into the joy of the Lord." Or will He proclaim ‘Depart from Me, you cursed, into the everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels".


 There are evil principalities and powers working in the sons and daughters of disobedience, who oppose the God of Scripture, who hate his commands, and want to live immoral, perverse,  rebellious, perverted lives and curse the God of the Bible. They will receive their reward one day with weeping and gnashing of teeth having heard and known the truth but having denied it's power. For Lo their doom is sure.

Trust in the Lord with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths. (Proverbs 3:5-6)

 Jesus said "Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me"....Whoever denies the Son does not have the Father either; he who acknowledges the Son has the Father also. (1 John 2) My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me.  And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand. My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of My Father’s hand. I and My Father are one.” (John 10:27-30) t
