The Holocaust Continues

            

Sometimes it is overwhelming the evil that goes on in our country. We once said that we would not forget the holocaust in Germany, but if we haven't forgotten it, why then are we aborting millions of babies every year? Why do many if not most of Americans accepting of these murders as a even greater holocaust than the one in Europe many years ago? The holocaust in Europe is over, the world grieved for the Jews, even gave them back their nation because of the shame it brought. BUT THIS COUNTRY CONTINUES IT'S HOLOCAUST IN BABY MURDERS TO THE TUNE OF 1.2 MILLION BABIES A YEAR!!!!!!

It amazes me that this country has made many movies on the Jewish holocaust but are blind to all the millions of murdered human beings in this country every year. 

Perhaps we are also blinded to all the other sin this culture practices but thinks is not as bad as abortion. Divorce and remarriage is the sacred cow sin, so much so, that no one in the churches will address the evil of divorce and remarriage.

 Malachi 2:16 "For the LORD, the God of Israel, saith that he hateth putting away: for one covereth violence with his garment, saith the LORD of hosts: therefore take heed to your spirit, that ye deal not treacherously."

The two greatest sins in the eyes of God, the murder of the innocence and the destruction of marriage, have brought us to the evil environment we now endure every day. 

The two sins that are the most accepted nationwide are the very sins that have destroyed us as a nation. When we get to the point of violence in marriage through divorce and remarriage and the murder of millions of our babies that is when the nation is finished. 

Every other sin increases because of the hardened hearts of those who would attempt to dissolve a marriage and murder babies.

Lamentation 3:65 " You will give them hardness of heart, Your curse will be on them."

Ephesians 4:18 " being darkened in their understanding, excluded from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them, because of the hardness of their heart;"

 I am convinced we are beyond returning to a softened heart. Even though we as a nation can no longer enjoy the peace and power we once had because of the violence on the land, there is still possibility for individuals to examine themselves asking God to reveal the sin that is in their own heart, while asking to be changed into a new creation by Christ.

None of this mess can be changed now as a nation, but each person can seek God, repent from the violence that is in their heart and become born again, a new creature, operating in a completely new way. When we are changed, we see the value of the marriage, the blessedness of the baby and God's purpose in selflessness.

Evidence of Pre-Trib

Marian Winans said, " You know for those who don't believe in a pre-trib rapture they truly haven't been paying much attention to scripture, especially this one... Notice the pronouns that are being used..."

 

1 Thessalonians 5:3 "For when THEY say, “Peace and safety!” then sudden destruction comes upon THEM, as labor pains upon a pregnant woman. And THEY shall not escape. 4 But YOU, BRETHREN, are not in darkness, so that this Day should overtake you as a thief. 5 YOU are all sons of light and sons of THE DAY. WE are NOT of the NIGHT NOR of DARKNESS. 6 Therefore let us not sleep, as others do, but let us watch and be sober. 7 For those who sleep, sleep at night, and those who get drunk are drunk at night. 8 But let us who are of the day be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love, and as a helmet the hope of salvation. 9 For God did NOT APPOINT US UNTO WRATH, but to obtain SALVATION [a PHYSICAL DELIVERANCE in the Greek] through our Lord Jesus Christ, 10 who died for us, that whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with Him.

11 Therefore COMFORT each other and edify one another, just as you also are doing."

Living In Sin? God Will Not Answer!

Do we think we can ignore God's principles willfully and still have our prayers answer?

For those who think they can live any way they please without repentance, these verses are for you. Those who take for granted the mercy of God, ignoring Him, His principles and His heart, cannot expect to have Him on their side when they are in trouble because of their own willfulness.

John 9:31...
Now we know that God heareth not sinners: but if any man be a worshipper of God, and doeth his will, him he heareth.

James 4:3
Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts.

Deuteronomy 1:45
And ye returned and wept before the LORD; but the LORD would not hearken to your voice, nor give ear unto you.

Isaiah 59:2 "But your iniquities have made a separation between you and your God, And your sins have hidden His face from you so that He does not hear."

Jeremiah 14:12 ""When they fast, I am not going to listen to their cry; and when they offer burnt offering and grain offering, I am not going to accept them. Rather I am going to make an end of them by the sword, famine and pestilence."

Isaiah 1:15 ""So when you spread out your hands in prayer, I will hide My eyes from you; Yes, even though you multiply prayers, I will not listen. Your hands are covered with blood."

Wise and Foolilsh Men

Proverbs 1:1-7

"1 The proverbs of Solomon the son of David, king of Israel:

2 To know wisdom and instruction,
To discern the sayings of understanding,

3 To receive instruction in wise behavior,
Righteousness, justice and equity;

4 To give prudence to the [a]naive,
To the youth knowledge and discretion,

5 A wise man will hear and increase in learning,
And a man of understanding will acquire wise counsel,

6 To understand a proverb and a figure,
The words of the wise and their riddles.

7 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge;
Fools despise wisdom and instruction"

The Wings Belong to the Same Bird

"What if I told you the Right wing and the Left Wing belong to the same bird?"

There's another saying; from Wikipedia

"If it looks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck, then it probably is a duck."
The test implies that a person can identify an unknown subject by observing that subject's habitual characteristics."

The only difference between the liberals and the conservatives is that they have a different set of sins they enjoy. Liberals are seemingly more blatant in their rebellion against God and the Conservatives are more subtle and covert.

Marriage Bed

There are many families now who have children sleeping with them until they are 8-12 years old. It is my opinion that this is a way for the parent to avoid loneliness after the loss of a spouse, either through divorce or death. If these things occur then it is understandable for a time, to comfort the grieving children until the emotional pain subsides. There are also those spouses who are avoiding intimate relations with their spouse by having a child in the bed. 

In the case of a normal family setting where there is no divorce or death, then the parent who continually brings a child into the bed, may be having trouble saying no to a contentious child. When we cannot say no to a child out of fear of their anger toward us, then we are placing that child in the position of leader or controller of the relationship.

From my studies I find that children who sleep from birth to age 8 or beyond, tend to be spoiled, bratty and attention seekers. They consider themselves superior to the other children in the household who have to sleep in their own beds, while sending the message to the other children that they are not special enough to enjoy this privilege. The favorite child who sleeps with parents is usually cruel to those who do not have this special treatment. The child is unknowingly being groomed to be a narcissist. This favored child is often disobedient to the other parent that might desire to have the privacy of the bed between her/him and their spouse.

It is also my humble opinion that children who dominate the beds of adults see the adult as an equal and friend rather than a parent. The child very likely grows up to feel superior, entitled and even contemptuous toward all authority. The favored child will expect and demand his desires, even turning on the parent who allows them to dominate the relationship, eventually there will be relational problems when the child’s demands become overwhelming and continual. There is also the strong possibility of marital problems when the indulging spouse will not care about the desires of their partner, continually refusing to remove the child from their bed.  

There is a break down in parental authority when a parent becomes too intimate with an older child. Love is far different from intimacy. Intimacy is reserved for married couples not a parent and a child.

The marriage bed is for the married couple, not for older children. It is one thing for a mother to bring a baby to bed while nursing, or if the young child is ill or frightened and quite another to make a practice of sleeping and cuddling all night long with an older child. That level of intimacy should be reserved for the spouse.

In a world where there are so many divorces, this practice of sleeping with older children has escalated, causing rebellion in the children. The privileged children who gets to sleep with daddy or mommy are elevated in their own eyes while the other children in the family who do not get to sleep with daddy or mommy are devalued, they feel a sense of being left out or unimportant. 

Children need to learn the authority pecking order. A commander of a military troop does not share the same quarters with his men. He cares for them, sacrifices for them, shares their living experiences, however he keeps them where they belong, under his authority. Intimacy in private quarters would be a break down in morale and authority. While I understand that families are not military issue, I also know that a break down in authority causes chaos and rebellion. 

We can deeply love our children while teaching them that the marriage bed is for the marriage partners, except in special circumstances when there is a need for protection and healing.


Sadly far too many parents are using their children as emotional supply, rather than seeing them as pliable needy little people who must to be trained to become strong in their own right, able to know right from wrong, depending on Christ for their needs instead of people.



When a child cannot sleep in their own bed, secure and happy, there has been created an unhealthy emotional bond that goes beyond love, to total dependency and in some cases perversion. The parent is depending on the child for his emotional stability and the child is learning to place his trust in one human being alone for his supply of love. The child will also eventually feel burdened when it comes time to detach from the parent to begin his own family. There is a greater potential for growing a perverted closeness when the child learns to cuddle all night lone with a parent.

Back in the day, babies had their own beds, they were called cradles. Mothers and Fathers removed the baby from their own bed to care for their needs, feeding, changing, storytelling and family experiences. There was a lot of interaction, love, care and nurturing, when it came time to sleep, the child knew he had his own bed for sleeping, there was no question that this is the way it was. Parents were the authority and children were children under the authority of the parents.

Those lines have been blurred now, almost non-existent, the child doesn’t know where they belong in the pecking order, they think they are in charge and it is really too much for them. They live in a world of making decisions and demands they should never have to make. Children feel much more secure and loved when someone else is in charge, confident about what is to be done while enforcing the order.  

Children are much more insecure today than they have ever been, they lack confidence, they are prideful and demanding but they have little confidence. Parents have been allowing the children to be in charge, making them insecure, leaving them with the feeling of danger, not knowing right from wrong, up or down.

Ephesians 6:1 “Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right.”

When we allow children to have their own way, even if it isn’t good for them or the family, we are teaching them to disobey, not only us, but God too.

Colossians 3:20 “Children, be obedient to your parents in all things, for this is well-pleasing to the Lord.”

Exodus 20:12 ““Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long in the land that the Lord your God is giving you. “

Ephesians 6:4 “Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord. “

Proverbs 22:6 “Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it. “
Deuteronomy 21:18-21 ““If a man has a stubborn and rebellious son who will not obey the voice of his father or the voice of his mother, and, though they discipline him, will not listen to them, then his father and his mother shall take hold of him and bring him out to the elders of his city at the gate of the place where he lives, and they shall say to the elders of his city, ‘This our son is stubborn and rebellious; he will not obey our voice; he is a glutton and a drunkard.’ Then all the men of the city shall stone him to death with stones. So you shall purge the evil from your midst, and all Israel shall hear, and fear. "

Proverbs 13:24 “Whoever spares the rod hates his son, but he who loves him is diligent to discipline him. “

A parent who give into the whims and tantrums of a child is training that child to be rebellious in every way.  

Proverbs 29:15 “The rod and reproof give wisdom, but a child left to himself brings shame to his mother.”

Does anyone think that requiring a child to respect the marriage bed as for husband and wife, is too harsh or too provincial? It was the practice for thousands of years, before the onset of a permissive and rebellious culture. Does this not tell us something? 

Many things this modern generation thinks is perfectly alright to do, has broken down the parent child relationship and ultimately destroyed the entire family structure.  

For those who have not heard the term “Pecking Order”: Merriam Webster Dictionary
“1 : a basic pattern of social organization within a flock of poultry in which each bird pecks another lower in the scale without being pecked in return and allows pecking by one of higher rank
2 : a social order with ranks or classes”

 

Words Mean Nothing!

Many people think all they have to do is say something, they don't actually have to live it. We live in a virtual fantasy world of words, actions are not required.

James 2:14-26
"14 What does it profit, my brethren, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can faith save him?
15 If a brother or sister is naked and destitute of daily food,
16 and one of you says to them, “Depart in peace, be warmed and filled,” but you do not give them the things which are needed for the body, what does it profit?
17 Thus also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead.
18 But someone will say, “You have faith, and I have works.” Show me your faith without your works, and I will show you my faith by my works.
19 You believe that there is one God. You do well. Even the demons believe—and tremble!
20 But do you want to know, O foolish man, that faith without works is dead? 21 Was not Abraham our father justified by works when he offered Isaac his son on the altar?
22 Do you see that faith was working together with his works, and by works faith was made perfect?
23 And the Scripture was fulfilled which says, “Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.” And he was called the friend of God.
24 You see then that a man is justified by works, and not by faith only.
25 Likewise, was not Rahab the harlot also justified by works when she received the messengers and sent them out another way?
26 For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also."

If we say something that we believe, it has no validity unless we actually do what we say. Words are not enough, in fact they are nothing, unless backed up by attitude and actions. Our attitudes and actions prove what we say, words alone prove nothing.
