Don't Be a Lemming
Please, parents, stop complaining about the bullying and rancid education of the public schools where your children attend, just get them out of those miserable public schools where bullying and lack of love happens every single day for several hours.
Those government places are ruining many children. They are teaching children how to be rebellious and how to bully by not disciplining the bullies.
When a teacher disciplines both the bully and the victim who fights back, they are unjust and enabling the bully.
Those who do nothing to stop the bully permanently are enabling him to continue. Blaming the victim of wrongdoing for fighting back is teaching the child to fight since no one is protecting him.
There is much that is taught by virtue of no training at all. It is called; "more is caught than taught." Parents teach more by example than they do by words. When children see the parent bullying others with their words the children will learn to bully with words. It works this way in extended family structure too.
When extended family, nieces and nephews, even grandchildren watch their parent showing contempt for a bullied family member they will think that person deserves it, even without evidence, and will learn to do the same thing. When this happens it is called, "family mobbings."
Children will learn all the covert forms of bullying by watching how it is done. If a parent deliberately ignores a family member, the children will do the same. When a parent rolls their eyes in contempt at everything a family member does, the children learn this too. When a parent is snappish with a particular extended family member the rest of the family will learn to be snappish with this one person too. No one really needs a reason they simply follow the narcissist's thinking he must have a good reason. Those who are flying monkeys, that is unthinking people who follow someone simply because that person appears to be the self-appointed leader, they do this without reasoning or evidence.
A lemming is a small rodent type animal who runs into the sea to die when they become overpopulated. When they become overpopulated some break off looking for new territory, they can swim but they will attempt to cross large bodies of water, unable to do it they drown.
This is the "lemming principle", meaning when the first lemming begins to run into the sea all the rest of them follow simply because all the other lemming are doing it. They move in mass, no one lemming thinks for themselves.
Don't be a lemming, evaluate all that is said and done and determine for yourself if the attitudes you are observing are justified. Much of what the narcissist does is not justified, they live on drama and feelings mostly without considering others.
If we have our own boundaries and truths, the narcissist will hate this and attempt to deter us from them. If the narcissist cannot control us through mocking, intimidation, and manipulation, they will attempt to get others to badger us with them. The narcissists believe that if enough pressure is placed on the target they will give up their principles and lifestyle to follow them.
Galatians 4:17 " 17Those people are zealous for you, but not in a good way. Instead, they want to isolate you from us, so that you will be zealous for them. "
The narcissist wishes to isolate us from anyone who will love and validate us for Christ. They cannot tolerate those who are zealous for Christ, nor can they stand to see their target or enemy in their own mind, growing Spiritually and emotionally, or any other way. They wish us to remain as they are, beggarly, weak, and self-absorbed.
Only the self-absorbed need other people to have a sense of purpose. Those who are confident in Christ need only to be connected to Him Who gives them purpose and direction. We love our brothers and sisters in the Lord but we are not dependent on anyone for our hope and our destination. Christ is all that to us, no matter what anyone else is doing.
We are not like the lemmings that follow one another into the sea without thinking only to their own demise.

The Devil Said it to Eve in the Garden and Still Says it Today!
For those who say sin doesn't matter anymore after one is born again, that because we are under grace we can freely sin without concern for it. Please read your Bible, what you preach is the opposite of what Christ taught and why He died. You must repent from this devilish thinking. We know that anything opposite of what God says is coming from the mouth of the devil, the whispers in the ears that are no different from what he told Eve in the garden. He told Eve, "you can be like God, He is not telling you the truth, you will not die if you disobey Him."
We were not given the grace to sin, but to become born again, grace allows us the strength through Jesus Christ to condemn sin. The Law Giver lives in born again believers, they never justify sin. The Law was given to convict the world of sin when it has done its job those who repent will confess their sin to be cleansed of it. You will find no verses in the Bible that teaches us sin is alright under grace.
Romans 6:1-13 "6 What shall we say then? Are we to continue in sin so that grace may increase?
2 May it never be! How shall we who died to sin still live in it?
3 Or do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus have been baptized into His death?
4 Therefore we have been buried with Him through baptism into death, so that as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we too might walk in newness of life.
5 For if we have become united with Him in the likeness of His death, certainly we shall also be in the likeness of His resurrection,
6 knowing this, that our old self was crucified with Him, in order that our body of sin might be done away with, so that we would no longer be slaves to sin;
7 for he who has died is [e]freed from sin.
8 Now if we have died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with Him,
9 knowing that Christ, having been raised from the dead, is never to die again; death no longer is master over Him.
10 For the death that He died, He died to sin once for all; but the life that He lives, He lives to God.
11 Even so consider yourselves to be dead to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus.
12 Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body so that you obey its lusts,
13 and do not go on presenting the members of your body to sin as instruments of unrighteousness, but present yourselves to God as those alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness to God.
14 For sin shall not be master over you, for you are not under law but under grace."
Those who use grace as an excuse to endorse sin in others or indulge in it themselves are propagating a lie from the mouth of the devil. One who adamantly defends sin cannot be born again.
1 John 3:7-9 "…7 Little children, let no one deceive you: The one who practices righteousness is righteous, just as Christ is righteous. 8 The one who practices sin is of the devil, because the devil has been sinning from the very start. This is why the Son of God was revealed, to destroy the works of the devil. 9Anyone born of God refuses to practice sin, because God’s seed abides in him; he cannot go on sinning, because he has been born of God.…"
The one who defends sin is practicing sin!
It is one thing to sin, confess to be cleansed and choose never to do that sin again. Its quite another to defend that sin as though God doesn't care if we sin.
God disciplines believers who sin because He hates it. His desire is to bring the born again believer back to obedience. No born again believer will remain comfortable in sin, they will be convicted by the Holy Spirit and eventually confess to be cleansed and turn from it. Believers are compelled to leave sin, they are never comforted in their sin.
Hebrews 12:5-7 "…5 And you have forgotten the exhortation that addresses you as sons: “My son, do not take lightly the discipline of the Lord, and do not lose heart when He rebukes you. 6 For the Lord disciplines the one He loves, and He chastises everyone He receives as a son.” 7 Endure suffering as discipline; God is treating you as sons. For what son is not disciplined by his father?…"
1 John 1:9 "9 If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

Not All People RIP
Please stop saying RIP for just anyone! Those who have not trusted Christ will not be resting in peace, they will be burning in flames.
So many people are elevating people who lived wickedly as though it didn't matter, int their minds they will just all go to heaven anyway.
Even "Christians" seem to want to assume that everyone makes it to that "better place", without considering the way someone goes to heaven. Perhaps it's just a polite thing to say in someone's time of grief, I get that, however, it is not the truth.
As born again believers we need to be continually accurate and truthful. It might be better to remain silent at the memorial of an unsaved person so that we do not send the wrong message that no matter how you live or what you believe you will get to a better place. I would have more of a tentancy to grieve for the unbeliever knowing where they probably are, that is in the flames.
It would be better to decline to attend the ungodly memorial than to lie while validating the life of someone who rejected Christ.
I only attend the memorials these days of born again believers. Those I knew and was confident loved the Lord. For born again believers, memorials are a celebration of crossing over into heaven with Christ. But to the non-believer it's crossing over to somewhere, they do not know where without any idea what or who will be there, whatever they can imagine in their own minds.
Fantasy does not save anyone, pretending something might be true does not make it true.
We live in a world of mostly make-believe now in these end times. If we dare to tell the truth we can expect anger from all those who only like to think happy thoughts, whether or not they are true doesn't even matter.
John 16:12-14 "…12 I still have much to tell you, but you cannot yet bear to hear it. 13 However, when the Spirit of truth comes, He will guide you into all truth. For He will not speak on His own, but He will speak what He hears, and He will declare to you what is to come. 14 He will glorify Me by taking from what is Mine and disclosing it to you.…"
It is Christ Who saves people from hell and it is the Holy Spirit Who lives in born again believers as a guarantee of their inheritance. God will not give an inheritance to anyone who rejects Him, or worse yet, pretends to love Him while ignoring all His commands and principles.
Matthew 10:32-34 "32 herefore everyone who confesses Me before men, I will also confess him before My Father in heaven. 33 But whoever denies Me before men, I will also deny him before My Father in heaven. 34 Do not assume that I have come to bring peace to the earth; I have not come to bring peace, but a sword.…"
One way many people deny Christ is to claim to belong to Him and yet have nothing but contempt for anyone who brings His Word to them in a correction. Those who love God love His Word and they also love the brothers and sisters in Christ.
1 John 3:13-16 "13 Do not be surprised, brethren, if the world hates you. 14 We know that we have passed out of death into life because we love the brethren. He who does not love abides in death. 15 Everyone who hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life abiding in him. 16 We know love by this, that He laid down His life for us; and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.
