Time always tells the Truth!

This is a email I wrote to some young friends of mine.  Leaving their names out of course I thought I would share it with you my readers.

There is one big benefit in living a lot of years and that wisdom is allowing time to tell the truth.  Propaganda has played a very huge part in this election and also in our society in years past. 

What you need is something that you know is trustworthy and where honesty exists.  Time will show you that, in your family, and in Jesus. 

I in my life have found that true wealth is found only in family and the more you have the richer you are.  In Jesus and His word, standing the test of time, has proven to me to be the only message of love that has lasted through time. 

The Bibles you posses are documents far older than all of this propaganda that is touted today.  Your Bible is ancient, up to 6,000 years and possibly older, and God's word has in fact stood the test of every attack conceivable through time and yet you posses multiple copies here today. 

That is the truth, this stuff you hear today is well, if you are a Christian, of the world and controlled by the evil one, who is the god of this world.  If we are Christians then, the Kingdom of God has come near and we have entered in by passing through the door, which is Jesus.  We Christians are not of this world, we are just passing through, on our way to God's kingdom in which we belong. 

I personally have learned that just like propaganda from years gone by, so this stuff will to.  If it is the "truth" it will stand the test of time.  My advise to you is keep watching and pay attention to this stuff.  When you start to notice errors or inconsistencies in this logic, or something just doesn’t feel right,know that is the Holy Spirit showing you what is real.

For me, I have chased my lust for money and even fame, I have exhausted every avenue of lustful desire that was derived from my pride, and I was left wanting.  I have realized that even to possess the entire worlds riches would still leave me wanting.

My only satisfaction is Jesus, and the most valuable possession I have is my Salvation.  With my family I am content, with Jesus, I am at peace.  With this I now can see clearly what my future is and where I am going, and where I want to go.  Yes no pride, no lust, just the Peace of God that transcends all understanding.

With Love in Jesus

Quote: "Everything is changing. People are taking the comedians seriously and the politicians as a joke." — Will Rogers

 

Boy this is just the statement for this election. Will Rogers couldn't have said it better for today. Of course this election is just a bit different, with what's at stake. Or might it have been the same? Only then the threat was from outside the US.

A lot of people are very concerned about this election, because the threat isn't from without, but from within. For the first time many Americans are concerned about the Socialistic overtones that are being presented in this election. Ideas that would have never sat well eight, or sixteen years ago with the American public.

History tends to show this kind of pattern in aging societies as population increases and that percentage of society becomes dependant on the government for its needs.

It reminds me of a film I watched when I was young. I remember it was in black and white. It was a social experiment in which, in a controlled environment, mice were placed and allowed to procreate. As the population grew things began to change. Clans were formed, wars were fought, and the survivors continued to grow in number. Till finally they reached that point in which they became lazy, and depended on the part of society that was still foraging for food and protecting them. As time went on they all became weak and didn't seem to have any reason to live. Left fat and just basically laying around.

This study about mice had a huge impact on me because it became the measuring stick for my judgment of our society in a way. The reason is because I have been amazed at the correlation between these mice and our society.

Could this be our fate? Are we taking the first steps towards what we have just witnessed in Russia, and East Germany? Maybe we will do something more like China is doing with what I would call "Capitalistic Communism."

What ever is to happen in our country today is definatly going to effect us, but my real concern is for my children. What are we leaving them with the decisions we make this day of the election. Someone much smarter than I said, "What we condone today, the next generation will embrace tomorrow". The Biblical phrase would be "What you sow, you will reap".
