Joshua 24:15:
If it is disagreeable in your sight to serve the Lord, choose for yourselves today whom you will serve: whether the Gods which your fathers served which are beyond the river, or the gods of the Amorites in whose land you are living. AS FOR ME AND MY HOUSE,WE WILL SERVE THE LORD.

Why is it that as free agents of God we are so willing to give up so many of our freedoms?

We are given the right to bear arms through the Constitution, which no matter who says differently, God had a direct hand in writing or inspiring that great document. No one can tell us that God was a bystander in writing it. No matter what the so called new leaders say– it is still a document that will lead us through today’s very rough times. Why do we allow leaders to jam down our throats rules/laws that the major portion of our population wants nothing to do with. If you do not believe this then why are there long lines at gun shows and gun stores? People are afraid of these new leaders thinking they are so much more smarter than our founders. They want to be our nannies in every respect. Well for me they would not make pimple on any of our founder butts. They have an agenda and it is not for us to remain a free agent. They have been working on this for at least the last one hundred and twenty years. They enact laws in very small bits. A pinch here and a pinch there until they have the whole. Look at the freedoms that were around ten years ago and that are are gone now. Now, they want to go after the guns, but in small bits. They will never try to ban guns all at once, they could never get that done and they know it. But make no mistake– that is just what they want. They started with background checks. I do believe in checks for a person to buy a gun, so no one that has a criminal record or a mental problem can just go out and by one. My problem with this is what  they are going to do with the information they collect. Now the government wants to expand that, they want to record your ammo purchases the size clips we buy. Then they want a national database, then the United Nations global data base. Again what are they going to do with this information? Could it be when they felt the time is right, they have your address, so now so they can just come and confiscate your guns. So do we now see that any kind of intrusion from the government on our rights is where that can lead to. Now our so called president is going to stand today up and let us know how much of our rights they are about to infringe on, and in doing so with all the little kids from around the nation and Sandy Hook that as soon as the shooting happened set down and wrote a letter to him expressing their fears. I am sure that for  these young children that was not the first thing that came into their minds, is to write the president. They want us to believe that they thought of that when they were leaving the school. They could not wait to get home and grab a paper and pen to get him to enact new controls. Yeah right, maybe when monkeys fly out of our butts!

These people in Washington DC are shameless. They will do anything to hold onto their power and expand it. These people are biggest bunch of narcissistic arrogant liars.
They are all elitist hypocrites.

Well for me I will serve God– not these clowns. I will not give up anymore of my God given freedoms for a bunch of elitists to look good and feel good for a group of dummies to get their vote.

You want anymore of my God given Freedoms, MOLON LABE and you better bring force. For you people that does not know what this means. It is King Leonidas response to the Persian army in the battle of Thermopylea in 480 BC. It means COME AND TAKE THEM!

I would like to post this email which I received on my web site and also to thank Mr. Scott for his very insightful speech. I know the feelings Mr. Scott has for if you have looked at my site, I too have lost a child. Mr Scott is correct about the fact that we have gone too far from God. I beg that we get right with God and ask for his forgiveness for our sin of neglect of Him. Here also is the link for a copy of Mr Scott’s full speech below.

Email I received:

COLUMBINE STUDENT’S FATHER 12 YEARS LATER !!
On Thursday,Darrell Scott, the father of Rachel Scott, a victim of the Columbine High School shootings in Littleton, Colorado , was invited to address the House Judiciary Committee’s subcommittee. What he said to our national leaders during this special session of Congress was painfully truthful.

The following is a portion of the transcript:

“Since the dawn of creation there has been both good & evil in the hearts of men and women. We all contain the seeds of kindness or the seeds of violence. The death of my wonderful daughter, Rachel Joy Scott, and the deaths of that heroic teacher, and the other eleven children who died must not be in vain. Their blood cries out for answers.

“The first recorded act of violence was when Cain slew his brother Abel out in the field. The villain was not the club he used.. Neither was it the NCA, the National Club Association. The true killer was Cain, and the reason for the murder could only be found in Cain’s heart.

“In the days that followed the Columbine tragedy, I was amazed at how quickly fingers began to be pointed at groups such as the NRA. I am not a member of the NRA. I am not a hunter. I do not even own a gun. I am not here to represent or defend the NRA – because I don’t believe that they are responsible for my daughter’s death. Therefore I do not believe that they need to be defended. If I believed they had anything to do with Rachel’s murder I would be their strongest opponent

I am here today to declare that Columbine was not just a tragedy — it was a spiritual event that should be forcing us to look at where the real blame lies! Much of the blame lies here in this room. Much of the blame lies behind the pointing fingers of the accusers themselves. I wrote a poem just four nights ago that expresses my feelings best.

Your laws ignore our deepest needs,
Your words are empty air.
You’ve stripped away our heritage,
You’ve outlawed simple prayer.
Now gunshots fill our classrooms,
And precious children die.
You seek for answers everywhere,
And ask the question “Why?”
You regulate restrictive laws,
Through legislative creed.
And yet you fail to understand,
That God is what we need!

“Men and women are three-part beings. We all consist of body, mind, and spirit. When we refuse to acknowledge a third part of our make-up, we create a void that allows evil, prejudice, and hatred to rush in and wreak havoc. Spiritual presences were present within our educational systems for most of our nation’s history. Many of our major colleges began as theological seminaries. This is a historical fact. What has happened to us as a nation? We have refused to honor God, and in so doing, we open the doors to hatred and violence. And when something as terrible as Columbine’s tragedy occurs — politicians immediately look for a scapegoat such as the NRA. They immediately seek to pass more restrictive laws that contribute to erode away our personal and private liberties. We do not need more restrictive laws. Eric and Dylan would not have been stopped by metal detectors. No amount of gun laws can stop someone who spends months planning this type of massacre. The real villain lies within our own hearts.

“As my son Craig lay under that table in the school library and saw his two friends murdered before his very eyes, he did not hesitate to pray in school. I defy any law or politician to deny him that right! I challenge every young person in America , and around the world, to realize that on April 20, 1999, at Columbine High School prayer was brought back to our schools. Do not let the many prayers offered by those students be in vain. Dare to move into the new millennium with a sacred disregard for legislation that violates your God-given right to communicate with Him. To those of you who would point your finger at the NRA — I give to you a sincere challenge.. Dare to examine your own heart before casting the first stone!
My daughter’s death will not be in vain! The young people of this country will not allow that to happen!”
– Darrell Scott

Keep your behavior excellent. 1 Peter 2:12
A good name is better than a good Ointment.  Ecclesiastes 7:1
An overseer must be above reproach. 1 Timothy 3:2
He was well spoken of by the brothers.  Acts 16:2

Let’s talk presidents.

When was the last man to hold that office that had an ounce of true character?

It has been a long time, and by that we would have to go back 130 years. We had some that would show signs at time but not for long. They would always fall back to what would get them reelected. Coolidge, Truman, Kennedy, Reagan all showed signs but would not stand on solid principles.

I guess we are all looking for a George Washington, Benjamin Rush, or a Thomas Jefferson type character. I guess God only made so many of them. I would think there are more out there but they are just hard to find. We need to look I would think first for a biblical type of character because without that we will end up with what we have had for the 17 years.

We have fallen into a place where our president can look us in the face and tell us he did not have sex with that women and we say that’s his private life. We had a president tell us that he had to abandon his free market principles to save the free market. If you can abandon the free market then you can abandon God’s principles.

Now we have a president who has twisted the truth about his true beliefs. No one really knows what he is all about. I do know I don’t listen to his own words– I watch his actions. I do not care what party he belongs to but this man is arrogant and is narcissistic. He, like so many others before him, is only interested in his legacy. Like so many others before him, it is a lot of power which leads to his greed. They will do whatever it take to hold on to their positions.

Let’s look at the executive order.

No president has the authority to sign an executive order and it become the law of the land. What part of 1st line of the constitution do they not understand. Article 1 section 1: All legislative Powers herein granted shall be vested in a Congress of the United States, which consist of a Senate and House of Representatives. Do we have anything about the Executive branch or Judaical branch? NO we do not. We have heard all the time that past presidents have signed executive orders, I contend they are not legal. Just because people do something in the past that are not legal and are never called on it DOES NOT MAKE IT NOW LEGAL. We need for the senate and house of representatives to grow back bones and stand up to any president and if necessary bring him up on charges. We can no longer sit back and trust these people we sent to Washington. We need to be engaged.
2 Timothy 3:11-12 You ought to live holy and Godly lives, as we look forward to the day of God.

Remember Proverbs 29:2— When the righteous increase the people rejoice, but when a wicked man rules people groan.

And boy do we have some wicked people ruling in Washington now!!!!!

Proverbs 22:7 The rich rule over the poor, and the borrower becomes the lender’s slave.

When God speaks of the poor I do not believe he is talking about earthly things. I believe he is referring to heavenly or spiritual riches.

But you can apply the same to your earthly life. Mainly your material possessions.

Do not go into debt for unnecessary things.

Would it not be great if our government worked on the same idea. But no, the inside the beltway boneheads will not do that. They think the more money they spend on their districts the more votes they will get. The Bigger the nanny they are to us, the more they keep their plush jobs. The do not care about America, only themselves.

Oh there is that word again SELF.

You see we all have become so involved in our self we do not look out for each other. We are only looking out for what is in it for me. Sure we can do a fund raiser or something like that and then go home and feel so go good about our SELVES. We do not care how the people govern as long as we get our piece of the pie. We do not look past our little part of these great United States. We do not seem to care about the future of the USA. I really get tired of hearing it is for the children. Because if that was the case, why are we spending our children’s, grand children’s, and great grand children’s future right now.

Has any of us asked any elected reps how base line budgeting works, No. Because we do not care or we know the reps are going to lie to us anyway. Well here is a short course in it. Each Government department has a yearly budget. Well they have yearly increase of at least 4 percent no matter how far we are in a debt hole. Now let’s look at one year the tax money that comes in is good and there is extra money meaning more in taxes are taken in. So when that department budget is figured they can get 8 percent increase. The very next year we do not take in the same amount of dollars, therefor they only get a 4 percent increase in there budget. Now you will have one of the parties or the other screaming that the budget has been cut. They got a 4 percent increase so how the hell do these people in DC tell that the budget was cut when there is a 4 percent increase across the board. That is because we set on our butt and worry on who going to win some dumb reality show or who in Hollywood is doing who. Let us start doing some homework, holding the elected reps feet to the fire.

Demand the truth. Where in hell is our money going and for what.

Demand them to stop spending our money.

Demand an actual cut in the budget, not some smoke blown up our butts.

Demand we start using straight budgeting, spending only what is brought in.

Let us think in biblical terms Deuteronomy 15:6 For the Lord your God will bless you as he has promised you, and you will lend to many nations, BUT YOU WILL NOT BORROW : and you will rule over many nations but they will not rule over you.

Frugality produces Liberty,but spending produces slavery.

I want to take this post to explain where God has taken me. I would not very often talk about religion to anyone because I did not want to upset people. But since my son’s death over the last 2 and ½ years everything has changed. My walk with Jesus has brought me strength from the inside out. The only true thing that matters now is the Biblical principles in which I have had all of my life , but I was just too dumb to know it. Or maybe I was just too stubborn to face something I could not touch, feel, smell, or see–faith in God/Jesus.

In posts on this web site I will never compromise my biblical principals which I believe God has put in my heart through reading the Bible. I can have a question and in reading God’s word that answer will come, maybe not right away, but when I keep reading one day I will come across that answer. It will come out of nowhere but I will get it.

I am not here to beat you over the head with any of my principles and will never force anything or any ideas on you. I never want you to give up any principles or your free choice. For you see God has made you a free agent with free will. I will only present my principles and beliefs from my understanding as I read the Bible. I will never be politically correct, but I will give you the Biblical truth as God give it to me. I will always try to give you the Bible verse from which I have formed my opinion. Some of what I have to say may ruffle a lot of feathers, but I will guarantee you that I will not back down if the post has what I believe to be a problem in our culture.
