Are You Cheerful Or hesitant When You Give? Proverb 19:17

Sometimes it's those with the least that give the most. Jesus used a widow's offering to teach a lesson of giving from the heart.

Now Jesus sat opposite the treasury and saw how the people put money into the treasury. And many who were rich put in much. Then one poor widow came and threw in two mites, which make a quadrans. So He called His disciples to Himself and said to them;

"Assuredly, I say to you that this poor widow has put in more than all those who have given to the treasury;
for they all put in out of their abundance, but she out of her poverty put in all that she had, her whole livelihood." Mark 12:41-44

It's easy to give when what you give does not even effect you, but when was the last time you went out of your way to give more than you thought the person deserved? Now I am not saying one should go broke or end up homeless because you gave all away, but to give a smidgen when you have enough to truly make a difference in their situation is what Christ expects from us. Instead of fifty cents, maybe enough for a good breakfast or lunch. Or, if after reading this, and the Lord moves you, you could do more. Basically, I speak of the kind of love Christ wants from us.

Do You Love God The Way Your Dog Loves You? Proverb 12:10

Back in 2013, two days after Christmas, I had to have our beloved 18 year old dog, Hershee, euthanize. Her kidneys had shut down and she was in so much pain she could not even settle down for more than five minutes at a time. So the merciful thing to do was to end her life.

It's easy to talk about it now, but at the time it was as if a member of our family had died. Maybe this should not be, I mean after all, she was just a dog. But, whether we choose to accept it or not, Hershee felt that she was one of us, and we treated her as if we would treat any member of our family. We were her "pack" so to speak, and I trust that she felt herself a valuable member of that pack. She ate good when we ate good, was happy when we were happy and always tried to do her part, even if it was just to bark and growl at people she didn't know.

Control Your Anger Christian, Proverb 14:29

Today's commentary is about anger and how, so often, it gets the better of us all. As Christians, we are to be in control of our faculties at all times. Yet we are all guilty of losing control at times. We are told to be patient and understanding, because a quick-tempered personality is a sign of foolishness.

A patient man has great understanding,
but a quick-tempered man displays folly. Proverbs 14:29

We all have the power to chose how we will react in any given situation. When we are expecting something and it didn’t happen, we must accept it and always think positive. Be flexible, and as much as possible remain calm and don't get angry. An explosion of anger at any situation never solves the problem, it just exacerbates it.

Paul tells us that it is OK to be angry, but not to sin.

Every Knee Shall Bow, Proverb 14:19

Let me begin by asking that prayers be said for all those shot in Virginia, and their families.

Lord our Father, we live in an evil world, and many lost individuals who know you not can be led astray by those who lead them into false conclusions with by their lies and innuendos. Many powerful people in America today are more willing to lead this nation down a path of poverty and destruction, than to allow their political enemies a chance at bringing peace and prosperity to the lives of the people.

ISIS Issues Fatwa Calling For Mass Killing Of American Dogs And Puppies

Back in December 2015, ISIS put out a Fatwa, calling for Muslims in America to kill dogs and puppies. I may have missed this, but I'm sure would have remembered it. So I am now sharing it. Here is the chilling chilling report issued by the Main Intelligence Directorate General Staff of the Armed Forces (GRU) is warning today that the pet dogs and puppies of American owners have now become “targets for death” after the Islamic State’s (ISIS/ISIL/Daesh) top religious scholar, Turki al-Bin‘ali, issued a fatwa authorizing the immediate mass slaughter of these beloved animals by their terrorist supporters currently residing in the United States.

Defeating The West One Womb At A Time - The Islamic Invasion

by Chuck Ness

While the citizens of Western civilizations have been preoccupied with their own selfish interests, those of the Islamic world have been busy populating a world their children and grandchildren will control. In America, Canada, and Europe, the citizens have been limiting the number of children in their families. Personally, I believe the reasons they chose to limit the number of their offspring are purely selfish.

Women want to have a career, and that is difficult to do if they are having children every 2 or 3 years. As for the men, they have bought into the idea that they will never be able to make enough money to support more than 1 or 2 children. Then there is the desire to put off having a family until they have made it, but in a world where everyone is trying to keep up with each other, no one really ever makes it. Regardless the excuses given, this behavior has led to the citizens of the West reproducing at a rate of about 1.8 per family, which is not even close to the reproduction rate of immigrants.

I could also go on and on as to the methods women in the West use to limit the number of their children, but this post is not about the methods of birth control used to achieve their goal. No, as you will learn from the video below, this column is about the devastating consequences we must now face because of their decisions.

The result of such selfish decisions by Western civilizations as a whole, is the capitulation of their children's freedom to control their own lives in the future. While the citizens of the West are preoccupied with living a life that is free of anyone's control, even God's, they are condemning their descendants to a life of bondage at the hands of a religion that was born in the depths of hell. How else can I properly describe what life will be like for the citizens of Europe and America 50 years from now?

As a result of their desire to give their children the things they did not have, plus a desire to be free from the condemnation of God, they are limiting the number of children they have. I can easily understand that kind of mindset when talking about non believers. However, I am truly saddened by the number of Christians I know who use the exact same excuses for why they have limited the number of children they have, or will have.

For Christians, we understand that the Lord opens and closes a woman's womb, and it has been that way from the beginning of time. So while the secular world has become fairly efficient at controlling whether or not a child will be born, Christians are supposed to only trust in the Lord. After all, God's first commandment ever given was to Adam and Eve when He said, Be fruitful and multiply Gen 1:22. He reiterated that command after the Flood when He told Noah, Be fruitful and multiply Gen 9:7. Now try as I may, I have yet to find any proof that God ever rescinded those commands. What He does tell us, is that if we put our faith in Him, He will supply our needs.

Well for those of you who have made excuse after excuse as to why you have limited yourself to 1 or 2 children, I would like you to admit to them that you had very little faith in God's ability to provide for more children than you had. I would also like you to tell them they could be living in an Islamic society someday because of your lack of faith.

In 1973 when the United States Supreme court ruled in favor of abortion, Christians warned Americans about the consequences. 38 years later the consequences of murdering 50 million innocent children is a reality. What saddens me almost as much as the way Americans have callously tossed our progeny aside like rubbish, is that Christians missed their chance at gaining control of the government, and thus stopping the perverse liberal agenda dead in its tracks.

Think about it, had Christians taken the initiative back in the 1970's to increase the number of children they were having while the non believers were limiting the number they had, America could have offset the number of children murdered in the womb. There could very well be 30 to 50 million more Christians who would have stopped the left from getting an anti-American Muslim as president. Also, we would not be facing a future where Islam and Sharia Law could rule America.

It's expected that non believers will ignore God's commandments, but when Christians do, the whole world pays the price. However, we can not live in the “what if's" of life, we can only live in the here and now. So what we can do is increase the number of children we are having now, and pray that the citizens turn from their evil ways and seek the Lord as the Scriptures advise;

If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and TURN FROM THEIR WICKED WAYS, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land. 2 Chronicles 7:14

So as it stands today, we must educate both the Christians and non Christians about the grim future our society is facing. So check out the video below, share it with your friends, and pray that we can begin a new awakening that will see millions of Muslims in the West become born again Christians. Otherwise our descendants will be living in an Islamic society that follows laws set up Satan himself.
