Never Listen to ‘They’

“The first time we ever got our first six-figure check I took a picture of it, and I put it in my Instagram story and I said, “‘They’ always told me, “No one would ever pay for this.” Never listen to ‘They’.””

If a Nation So Blessed by God Should Turn Away from Him, What Then?

~

“Genesis 12:3 3I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you

I will curse; and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you.”
New International Version

~

“And America has done much good. And there’s no shortage of nations far exceeding any of its faults or sins. But no nation in the modern world has ever been given so much. None has been so blessed. To whom much is given, much is required. If a nation so blessed by God should turn away from Him, what then? It’s blessing will be replaced with curses? Yes. And has America turned away from God? I asked. It has turned and is turning. How? In the same way Israel turned. It started with a spiritual complacency, then spiritual confusion, then the merging of God with idols and then, ultimately, the rejection of his ways. Just as with ancient Israel, America began ruling God out of its life, turning, step by step, against His ways, at first subtly and then more and more brazenly.
As God was expunged from American life, idols came in to fill the void; idols of sensuality, idols of greed, of money, of success, comfort, materialism, pleasure, sexual immorality, self-worship, self-obsession. The sacred increasingly disappeared, and the profane took its place.”

I Like America, Anyway.

“I like America anyway. In Japan we are much more formal. If two friends are separated for a long time and they meet they bow and bow and bow. They keep bowing without exchanging a word. Here they slap each other on the back and say: “Hello, old man, how goes everything.””

A Tolerance for Everything Opposed to God

“Some would call it tolerance, I said. “Yes.”, he replied, “the same tolerance that overtook ancient Israel … a tolerance for everything opposed to God, a growing tolerance for immorality and a growing intolerance for the pure – a tolerance that mocked, marginalized and condemned those who remained faithful to the values now being discarded. Innocence was ridiculed and virtue was vilified. Children were taught of sexual immorality in public schools while the Word of God was banned. It was a tolerance that put the profane on public display and removed Nativity scenes from public sight … contraband, as if somehow they had become a threat-a strangely intolerant tolerance.” “But still”, I countered, “how does all that compare to what happened in ancient Israel? America doesn’t offer its children on altars of sacrifice?” “Does it not?”, he said. “Ten years after removing prayer and Scripture from its public schools, the nation legalized the killing of its unborn.””

The Fruit of the Messiah’s Grace

“What was the fruit of the Messiah’s grace? Rest—a rest pertaining to my existence, most assuredly superior to passing minutes of stillness or peace I may have experienced in meditation. I have come to appreciate that this new life is something Jesus wants for everyone, irrespective of race or religion. It is a unique and eternal boon available to everyone who turns to Him with confidence. So, today I walk on in gratitude.”

Being Honest About our Journey

“I have in the past understood that in being honest about certain things in my life, I’ve helped other people be honest, because they think that it’s OK when somebody else admits what they’ve been doing.
