Keep The Faith

From  Homework Help website "The quote “"Those who forget history are condemned to repeat it”" is attributed to the American philosopher George Santayana and it can be accurately quoted as "“Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it”" as stated in his work, The Life of Reason : Reason in Common Sense." Why did I bring up this quote you ask? It is because I believe that we have forgotten the horrors that happened in World War II and how that cancer grew. Are we repeating history? I believe we are. The cancer is hiding and growing. Our American forefathers came from countries that at some period of time had tyrants in control of their countries. When they came to this new land, they wanted to protect future generations from tyranny so they formulated our constitution. We were to have three branches of government; Legislative (Congress), Executive (President), and Judicial (Federal court system). These three branches were to stay sep...

Recently I've been thinking about our United States Constitution. Back in grade school we were required to memorize the Preamble to the Constitution and be able to recite it. This morning I tried to recite it to myself and was not able to remember the whole thing. It has been way too long that I have even thought about it. Preamble to the United States Constitution From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia "We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, [note 1] promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America." I wonder how many of our elected officials who swear to defend the United States Constitution can recite the Preamble or much more, to know the soul of our Constitution? I think it wise for all of us Americans to...

Revelation 17:1–6 — The Judgment of Babylon Lexham English Bible (LEB) 17 And one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls came and spoke with me, saying, “Come, I will show you the judgment of the great prostitute who is seated on many waters, 2 with whom the kings of the earth committed sexual immorality, and those who live on the earth became drunk with the wine of her sexual immorality.” 3 And he carried me away into the wilderness in the Spirit, and I saw a woman seated on a scarlet beast that was full of blasphemous names, having seven heads and ten horns. 4 And the woman was dressed in purple and scarlet and adorned with gold and precious stones and pearls, holding a golden cup in her hand full of detestable things and the unclean things of her sexual immorality. 5 And on her forehead a name was written, a mystery: “Babylon the great, the mother of prostitutes ...

I have heard from a number of Christians that god chose Trump. They support and defend Trump no mater what his character proves to be because "god chose him." I've wondered a lot about this. How do they know God, the creator of all things, the God of gods, the God of love, chose him? Did maybe the god of this world ( Satan) choose him instead? Have Christians forgotten their first love? Jesus said that if you love Him then obey His commandments, love God (the One True God who exercises loving kindness, justice, and righteousness on earth, not the god of this world) and love your neighbor; do to him what you wished he would do to you. Joel 2:13 Lexham English Bible (LEB) 13       Rend your hearts [ a ] and not your garments, and return to Yahweh your God,      because he is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger [ b ] and great in loyal love,      and relenting from harm. ------------------------------...

I am troubled by many things that are happening here in the United States. Mostly because of the Russian meddling in our elections and in our very lives. We call it RUSSIAN but it stems back to Putin and Russian oligarchs. It is ongoing, believed that they will also work to affect our 2018 congressional elections. They are not only working to affect our elections but the elections' in many other countries of the world. I have to ask," What are they trying to do?" If I had to guess, it is to dominate the world. Many of us believe that the meddling was for the purpose to get Trump elected. Trump has been asked if he has ever communicated with Putin before the elections and he repeatedly says he has not. I came across various interviews with Trump in 2013, the year he had the Miss Universe Pageant in Moscow Russia and he said then that he had talked with Putin both "directly and indirectly" in the interviews. Trump has at least twice met up with and talked with ...

I have said that I've learned to trust the Lord in all things. In my post " Salvation " I talked about how the Lord has saved me from great harm from a number of things throughout my life. That building of trust in the Lord has come from looking back at the many things that happened in my past. God had to have had a hand in them. Well, lately I have had thoughts of questioning the very existence of God. Maybe I've just talked myself into believing. (Satan working again) Why am I starting to question things you might ask. Back in August of 2015 I posted " Funny Dream ". In this dream, it was like God saying to me that the problems with my back will not be as bad as I envision, and we shook hands on it. I was telling God at the time that I will trust Him in whatever happens, but I said it in such a way as to try and build up my trust; "I WILL TRUST YOU LORD." There was no time frame when or how much better my back would get. At that time, I was ...

From Pride to Praise: The Story of a Humbled King A Study of Daniel Chapter 4 Read Daniel 4 (CEB) on BibleGateway After reading the full account of Nebuchadnezzar’s dream, his downfall, and his restoration, I found myself reflecting on what this chapter reveals about the character of Father God and the way He works in the lives of both kings and ordinary people. My Takeaway on Daniel Chapter 4 This chapter is a revelation of Father God’s character and power . It reminds us that no matter how high a person rises, every kingdom and every breath ultimately belong to Him. It also points toward a future moment when all creation will stand in awe of Father God, recognizing His justice, His mercy, and His absolute sovereignty. Nebuchadnezzar was a powerful king, yet his power could not shield him from the consequences of pride. Father God removed his kingship and allowed him to live among the animals. But even this judgment was not...
