Wow. He Said it All

Age of Grace to End

And Today:

Well, Carl said a mouthful. I guess I can go back to knitting and Corgi petting. :)

Our sweet pets are enjoying these last days of summer. They stay by the house with little oversight, a sign of their maturity and inner peace.

I'm busily finishing preparations for my eldest son to return "home" for the last time. He's off to college next week after months of training with ROTC. He comes home to wed his darling fiancee in a couple of weeks.

This age of growth is to end.

Let's Have a Little Balance, Shall We?

You do want to be balanced.

As someone who has seen the drift toward New Age ideas quietly but forcefully overtake solid Biblical grounding, even the Augustinian drift of the 3rd century, I think it is paramount to be balanced, scriptural, above any theological drift.

As I've said many times before-----read your Bible. Let the Holy Spirit be your guide, not a seminary student.

It worked for William Tyndale, Martin Luther, and the Waldensians.

It will work for you too.

So You Didn't Think it Would Come to This?

I spoke with Jordan last fall when he was here for a forum on marriage at St. Thomas University in Minneapolis.

He is a very good old friend of mine, my high school Bible Study leader.

We chatted, catching up on family news, the state of the world, and other things.

I had been reading so much on Canada's woes with marriage that I was pretty pessimistic about the state law changing here and its implications.

Jordan seemed to think that it would be much more difficult for Christians to be affected here because of the constitutional rights we have to practice religious freedom. Also, our freedom of speech set such a precedent that Canada lacked.

Lo and behold. This case with the photographer in New Mexico was lost.

Really, this is beyond any expectation, and it sets an unhappy precedent for the future of Christian business owners in the USA.

The Lord knows. It is certainly as in the days of Noah, and we are marrying and giving in marriage. The world winds down, and we look up.

Christians who only love God, and God alone, will always obey Him.

To America With Love

Take a few minutes and watch this. Amazing how this message is being repeated at high decibels all over creation right now.

Sad that too many still aren't hearing it.

It's not for lack of trying.

Chuck Missler's financial advice is well taken, but there are many ways to prepare. It's commendable that he seeks to provide a means to an end. Too often there are those who simply don't know where to turn for good financial advice.

After working with Primerica for a year, and listening to each Saturday morning training session there are a few "must-do's" financially for every American, every person.

1. Pay off your debts. Start a pay-off plan where you stack your debt load payments as soon as each one is paid off.

2. Stay out of debt. Live within your means. You DON'T need that bigger house, dream house, cabin, camper, boat, Corvette, -----mid-life crisis expense.

3. Have a plan, financially, for the hard times----Investment banks have lots of ideas for your money, but you certainly should look into other options too. Be careful of collectibles. Watch diligently for scams.

4. Find a network of friends and family to rely on in extreme conditions. Do you have a plan for communication with them?  It's kind of like a fire drill.

5. Have a (at least limited) stock pile of goods.

6. Trust in the Lord, and share His message of hope throughout any crisis! You are the light of the world.

Another Warning

"Funny" how the watchers are beginning to see the same things. We must be vigilant.

Donna Wasson felt compelled to throw out this warning today. I have seen similar warnings on the web, and it's worth passing on.

The main message is: Time is short. Get right with God.

And that is a message for ALL time.



I'm so thankful that the Lord has everything in His hands, and that we have been prepared "for such a time as this."

So cute: Had to share----
