Islam Is Dangerous To Us

There are those who would say that we are not being tolerant to Muslims in a country that has been noted for allowing every religion.

The freedom to worship as you please has been a right of every American early on in our history. Those who came to worship as they please most often came in legally desiring to blend into our "melting pot" society.

Islam not only does not want to blend in, they intend to take over, force others to worship as they say while brutally torturing and killing anyone who will not submit.

Let's make it clear, Buddists, Catholics, Hindus, Bahai, and other religions co-exist in this country every day. The reason Islam is singled out for discrimination is because they have vowed to take over our government and kill everyone who will not become Muslim.

None of the other religious groups have a holy book that commands them to kill Jews, Christians and every one who does not accept their religion. They abide peacefully in our culture, even allowing believers to speak to them about Christ. The other religions do not command their people to lie and commit violence against those who are not of them.

Islam is more of a political system with religious overtones. Their goal is total destruction of our culture, our people and our government. They have beheaded believers all over the world, vowing to do the same thing here when they become powerful enough here.

Many false religions at least have a semblance of goodness and kindness, Islam openly practices meanness, hate and destruction where ever they are found.

Islamist are our enemy, they seek to destroy us, this makes it vitally important that we not allow them any ground for the worship of their religion, which promotes these atrocities against our people.

Baililng People Out Doesn't Help Them

When we bail people out of the problems they created, before they learn their lesson and repent, we thwart God's will for them to learn important things that change their heart and their life.

I never want to be responsible for enabling a person to remain in sin, continually doing the same evil over and over again, ultimately separating them from God.

Bailing people out of their trouble before they learn their lesson is selfish, we don't like to watch their discipline so we ...jump in and save them to please ourselves.
 

True love is more concerned about a changed heart than good feelings.
One of the other things that happens when we bail out others is the problems we bring upon ourselves in the process.

Don't Judge?

Homeschooling Surpasses Public Institutions

At a political banquet several years ago I was placed next to a man who was running for governor of Oregon. When he found out that I was an homeschooling advocate, having home schooled several of our children for a short time, he had several of the obvious and traditional questions for me, one of which was the following;

"What about socialization", I said "Oh, you mean drugs, alcohol, disrespect for authority and filthy language, I don't think my children need that, they have people at home that they interact with every single day."

He didn't ask me any more questions!

The Two Prodigals

Notice the father of the prodigal son allowed him to wallow in the pit until he was repentant, changed his mind about his sin and came back to confess his sin, humbly asking to be counted as a servant, rather than a full fledged son.

He was restored fully as a son, but came back not expecting that, because he knew what he really deserved. This is the mentality we should have in ourselves and should see in others when we have sinned. Admitting the sin, confessing what the sin is and accepting whatever the response is from those we offended.

The offended parties should forgive quickly, desiring for the relationship to be restored.

This account of the prodigal son and his father is a picture of our Father in heaven and us as the prodigals. We should be ashamed of our sin, never defending or excusing it, but rather broken over it, broken enough to be willing to be treated whatever way we deserve.

Anyone making excuses, expecting to be fully restored and angry when we do not receive the expected response, then it is a sure sign we are not sorry, our mind has not been changed, we are just tired of the struggle and want everything back that we lost.

Luke 15:11-32

Don't forget, there was more than one prodigal in this story. There was the jealous and rebellious son that stayed, but remained disobedient, even though he never left. It was really a story of the two prodigal sons.

Mixing Paganism with Christianity Leaves Only Paganism

Mixing paganism with Christianity only leaves us with paganism. A perverted and tainted version of Christianity is no longer Christianity.

Galatians 6:7 "Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap."

And, we wonder why we are under discipline?

Santa is Not Harmless Fun

In regard to the Santa craze, he is not a harmless fun cartoon character!

He is even worse than a lie, he is treated with god status, children pray to him, ask and expect miracles from him, look at him with longing worshipful eyes and every other form of adoration.

When we lie to children about Santa and the Easter bunny, we are teaching them to distrust us in subtle ways. Is it any wonder that children are not very interested in Christ when He brings a message of repentance and salvation through faith when we cannot see Him with our eyes, while Santa teaches them to be materialistic and base their assessment about relationships on how much someone gives to us and he is in every mall.

Christ is not on the lips of family members in the home frequently, but Santa is, which personality would we expect the children to love?
As a nation we are training our children to love a false god while ignoring and negating the One True Savior.
