Blogging

I believe God laid this on my heart to blog. Not just this specific blog but this site.  I am not the expert at writing, or understanding the scriptures. I read and write and hope to rightly divide the word of truth. Most of the time I try to write about a scripture, a biblical story, a current event that has gotten my attention. I hate politics, but often it seems to come into my focus. I saw a post on face book that said it seems our battle today is not left and right, Democrat or Republican as much as it is good against evil. That seems to be so true. We are in a spiritual battle today, much more than a political battle.  We see good men being slandered because they happen to have been chosen by a President that I believe God in his mercy put in office. Not because this man is a super Christian but because he is doing the will of God in so many ways. I remember the story of the widow woman who had nothing to eat in her house. She prayed to God for some groceries. A neighborhood young man, a trouble maker, heard her through her open window. He thought, I'll play a trick on her and this trouble maker went and bought some groceries and set them on her steps, and rang the door bell and hid. The widow woman comes to the door and immediately thanks God for answering her prayers. The young man jumps out from where he is hiding and says God did not do that, I did that. Again the woman thanks God even if he sent it by the hand of the devil. It is meant o be a humorous story but it illustrates a point that God can use anyone for his purposes. We are in a battle for truth and right. It does not surprise me in the least that God would use an arrogant egomaniac for his purposes.  The devil and his angels are in  this fight and are seeking to destroy. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. Ephesians 6:12 We are in a spiritual battle in our nation. I recommend we pray daily for our leaders that they would make the right choice in this battle for truth and justice. 2 Chronicles 7:14. God says if his people will call on his name and turn from their wicked ways, then he will hear from heaven and heal our land. We are in that process, and the demons of hell are fighting against good. We can win on our knees in prayer. The battle is the Lords, he can turn the hearts of our leaders to do his will.  We have seen this battle going on in our Senate in the confirmation hearing. We see a good man being slandered, and it does not seem to matter what the truth is. No one is saying that Dr. Ford was not hurt in this party. It just was not Kavanaugh. Both stories are believable. This is not to put Dr. Ford down, what happened to her is real and hurtful, but truth matters and we cannot just blame a good man because our politics are contrary to his. Kavanaugh has a mountain of evidence on his side, a life time of faithful service and more references that are needed. But truth does not matter, it is politics and dirty politics at that. It is not about men abusing women, it is about keeping a good man off the Supreme Court, because we have conflicting political views. This is wrong. Truth does matter. The hypocrisy of the left show itself over and over again. They want to make sure a 15 year old that repeatedly stabbed his grandfather to death and used a second knife when the first knife broke in the attack ,has ample chance at rehabilitation, to change if you will because he may not be the same person as an adult as he was when he attacked his grandfather at 15. But when we have a good man being nominated for the supreme court and proven to be falsely accused, we cannot take that chance, because if he did that at 16, he will be the same today. We see the hypocrisy of the left over and over again. We will not believe and support Karen Monahan because her accused abuser is a Democratic big wig. We will go after Bill Cosby for actions 40 and 50 years ago but Bill Clinton's rapes will be ignored because he is a liberal champion. The left is not about justice, it is about winning at any means possible. Breaking any law or rule in the  process is OK. We saw it during the George W. reelection campaign with the forged National Guard papers. We saw it in the Nixon years where 15 minutes of tape was more important that tens of thousands of deleted e-mails on a private server of Hillary Clinton. We see the same double standard over and over again. We are in a spiritual battle between good and evil. Let us pray. God bless, LVZ.
