Verse
of the Week
Those
who forsake the Torah praise the wicked,
but
those who keep the Torah strive with them.
(Proverbs
28:4) (HRB Note: The lawless will praise the wicked because there are
no moral absolutes in their lives)
Thought
for the Week
As
a nation the US is increasingly less moral, less free, and less
intelligent. Common Core is creating a corps of individuals with a
profound lack of basic skills (e.g. reading ability), ambiguous
morals, and a very distinct lack of reasoning skills. The result is
too many in the USA speak in slogans because anything longer exceeds
their abilities in reading, writing, and comprehension. I wonder if
any studies (other than the obvious historical patterns) have ever
been done to investigate an inverse correlation between freedom and
ignorance. It might explain why the USA is becoming a nation of
sheeple; and, it also explains why the Left is so afraid of free
speech that it wants to deny it to any and all who show any
independent, moral, or intelligent thought.
Sadly
the Government, and the Mainstream media, and the educational
institutes of the US, turn rabid and attack those who point out the
dangers of such blind conformity. Consider Alexis de
Tocqueville's comment: “The
majority has enclosed thought within a formidable fence. A writer is
free inside that area, but woe to the man who goes beyond it, not
that he stands in fear of an inquisition, but he must face all kinds
of unpleasantness in every day persecution. A career in politics is
closed to him for he has offended the only power that holds the
keys.” One wonders if
Tocqueville could ever have envisioned a coalition of minorities
dictating what thoughts may be expressed – the LGBT mafia, BLM
thugs, illegal immigrants, etc.
This
is in fact a “hidden” danger posed by both legal and illegal
immigrants exerting power in the USA. The migrants coming in lack the
experience to realize that rights come with responsibilities. Most
immigrants to the USA have never had the freedoms that are
Constitutionally guaranteed in the USA much less experience in
fighting for them or paying for them. The American concept that a
Government serves the people best by governing least is foreign to
them. They are lured here by the belief that the Government's purpose
is to serve them handouts not ensure their freedom. Most are already
bought and paid for and are playing the role of dupes for the
Government and the Left (like Esau, many have sold their birthright
for a handout).
As
has been said before freedom is not free. The price is more than
blood spilled on a battlefield. It is paid for by the restraint shown
when listening to opposing views. By law I must allow others to
speak, and by law they must allow me to speak. It is one of the
prices we pay for freedom. Efforts to prevent opposing views
encourage a Government that decides what can be said and that is a
loss of freedom for everyone. Worse it encourages a Government that
will even try to regulate what is thought.
Whether
the issue raised is race, gender, sexual orientation, immigration, or
etc. the US Government is using them all for one purpose – divide
and conquer. A people divided will never unite to secure each others
freedoms. As human beings we have the strongest of all bonds to unite
us if we will only see it – the desire to live without fear and
oppression. It has taken mankind thousands of years to break the yoke
of slavery. To surrender our freedoms, no matter how well intentioned
the cause, no matter how benevolent the tyrant, is to regress to a
state of voluntary servitude, which is just a step away from enforced
slavery!
Standing
up against the growing evil is becoming more dangerous everyday; but,
to surrender is even deadlier. For the worshipers of YHWH to
surrender the right of free speech is to surrender the right to
spread His Gospel. This we cannot, must not, do! If resistance fails
going underground may be the only option (again surrender is not an
option). The children of YHWH should be ready:
RESIST
EVIL:
Then
submit to YAHWEH. Resist the Devil, and he will flee from you.
(James
4:7)(HRB Note: Full 100% surrender to YHWH is a prerequisite for
salvation.)
"Casting
all your anxiety onto Him," because it matters to Him concerning
you. Be sensible, watch, because your adversary the Devil walks about
as a roaring lion seeking someone he may devour; therefore resist
him, being steadfast in the faith: and know that the same sufferings
befall your brethren that are in the world.
(1
Peter 5:7-9)
Prepare
to go Underground:
The
wise fears and departs from evil, but the fool rages and is sure.
(Proverbs
14:16)
A
prudent one sees the evil coming and hides himself, but the foolish
go on and are punished.
(Proverbs
22:3)
A
prudent man sees the evil and hides himself; the simple go on and are
punished.
(Proverbs
27:12)
When
the wicked rise, a man hides himself; but when they perish, the
righteous multiply.
(Proverbs
28:28)
QUOTE
A
dog barks when his master is attacked. I would be a coward if I saw
that God's truth is attacked and yet would remain silent.
– John Calvin
COMMENT:
The children of YHWH should be barking themselves hoarse and
casting votes to support those barks – in all elections from school
boards to the Presidency!
TIDBITS
Pew
Research recently announced 40% of millennials believe there should

would feel that way if they were told they can no longer say what
they believe.
An
American Action Network Poll found almost 60% of likely Democratic

wonder most people today do not know what is in the US Constitution?
Our schools teach socialism is the way instead of teaching about the
Constitution.
The
World Economic Forum ranked the U.S. as 52nd among 139
