Will Your Son Say, "Dad... Why didn't You do something?"

Christian dads, don't miss this opportunity. With news paper in one hand, and Bible in the other, show them Obama appeasing the Muslims in Cairo. Then turn to Genesis 17.18-19. It can be a great family worship. The battles of today are the same as they were 4,000 years ago.

Muslims do two things:

1. Readily admit that their decisions are religion based.
2. Trace their religion back to Ishmael (Genesis 17.18-19)

Shame on Christians. We do the exact opposite. We are so politically correct, we refuse to make "Religious based decisions." Therefore, we are practicing atheists. We'll show statistics, we'll cite historical societies, but we have not got the spine to say, "The Bible says so!" We are luke-warm, politically correct cowards. We have sold our birthright (Genesis 25.31). We are so entertained. As long as the state continues to give us our goodies, we'll go along and worship the golden calf (state). We have rejected our history. We willing gave American history over to the revisionists.

The battles of our day are religious to the core, yet Christians say, "No, Rob there is separation between church and state..." Tell the Muslims that. They know better. Everything man does results from his worldview. The way you look at life is your worldview. What you do, the reason you choose what you choose is based upon your worldview. Worldview is based upon a faith (religious) presupposition. The faith-based creationist looks at the same "facts" as the atheistic evolutionist. They both come to two different conclusions because they both presuppose something. Worldview in brief:

• What do you believe about God? (Super-natural can / cannot happen)
• What do you believe about man? (Man is sinful / Man is good)
• What is the problem? (sin, or economics, etc.)
• What is the answer? (found in the Bible / found in man's wisdom)

Some pertinent questions to find out whether or not culture has established your worldview, or Scripture has.

1. Is your son on a little league team because scripture lead you to it, or culture?
2. Are your kids in public school because Scripture lead you to it, or culture?
3. Do your children date because Scripture lead you to it, or culture?
4. Does your wife have a career because Scripture lead you to that, or culture?

Dads... all of life is a religious war (Genesis 3.15). There is no neutral ground (Luke 11.23). Get off the couch and into the battle! Teach your children (Ephesians 6.1-4). When Islam takes over, and liberty is gone, will your son have to look you in the eye and say, "Dad... why didn't you do something? Why didn't we chunk all those extras overboard, and get in the fight?"

The Words They Choose Are So Smooth

Smooth talkers weave their words in such a way as to make anyone who disagrees with them sound ridiculous. Politicians are that way. Today I heard 5 seconds of President Obama's speech to the Muslim community in Cairo. Who can disagree with the big broad themes he uses, like loving your neighbor, working together, etc. It is what is in the unspoken ideology that is the sum and substance of what I would really like to hear. Instead of big, broad themes that everyone can agree with, I would like to hear a politician say what he means, and mean what he says.

Will Next Month Be Adultery Pride Month?

It is interesting to see worldviews play themselves out. Our prevailing contemporary worldview is Moral Relativism. It is rooted in Humanism. Humanism is a faith, or religion, which exalts man over God. Humanism says, "Man is the measure of what is right or wrong, good or bad." In other words, each person gets to decide for themselves what is good for themselves.

Most "Christians" today have prayed a prayer that says something like this. "Dear Jesus, please forgive me for my sins. Please come into my heart and save me..." Ok, that is the short version. But then they continue to live lives of humanism. We may as well say they are atheistic Christians. Just ask a Christian why they believe what they do. Your response is likely to be as humanistic as any pagan. They might say something like, "Well... its my opinion," or "For me, it would be wrong, but I don't know about for them..." or "This passage means TO ME that..."

The point is biblically speaking, a Christian's worldview should START with God. Who cares about our personal opinions? Christians don't want to decide what is right / wrong, they want to please Jesus Christ.

How does this relate to Obama's celebration of Gay-Pride? Being gay is a choice, the Bible says so (Read Romans 1). As Christians, why are my friends defending homosexuality as if it were a gender-type. God didn't make people that way. It is a perversion of God's design. Biblically speaking, it is a sinful lifestyle, just as adultry, murder, child-porn, etc.

Liar Economics

ABC parrots White House: "The White House says that the stimulus plan is already starting to have an effect on job creation. And they listed a bunch of the jobs in their new report, '100 Days, 100 Projects.' ... Critics have long said the administration overstates the impact of the stimulus. ... Without question, the stimulus is having an affect on some job creations." --ABC's Jake Tapper

This is another example of spin. I hear things like this and I have to wonder how the propaganda machine is churning out its latest lies. Putting our own personal spin on words is a child’s game whereby children try to manipulate their parents to get what they want.

“Job creation” might better be called “job confiscation.” Down the street is one of our favorite discount grocery stores. I was getting Starbucks for 3 bucks a bag! Now they are going out of business. Hmm… I wonder why. The owner says that someone out East outbid him for the products, and he can’t make money off the remaining supply. The owner has no idea who this company is… they won’t say.

But consider this scenario: A newly formed government community service provider receives stimulus money. Let’s call this government agency the Big East Government Community Service Providers, or BEGS Community Service, for short. Now they create some jobs to facilitate the work. They have more money to invest in getting the discount food product, so they make a much higher bid. Then BEGS Community Service ships the product, spending more tax dollars, and by the time it reaches them out east… more product damage, more waste, more excess spending, etc. But they don’t care… it’s government money… oops, I mean, your money.

Meanwhile another small business bites the dust. Our favorite discount store is dying a quick death. They are now selling off what they have left and going out of business. They are one of the many who are being killed by the socialistic policy of an overreaching state.

Yes, jobs were probably created. But they failed to mention how many were destroyed in this government transfer of wealth. It leads to something alright… bigger government, and dying liberty. As government jobs are created, private sector jobs are destroyed.

This is an UN-Biblical approach to the responsibilities of Civil Government. Let us teach our children (Deuteronomy 6.4-10) God’s ways of economics, so that when America’s Tower of Babel comes tumbling down, they will be ready to step in and present God’s truth. Yes, this means evangelism and being salt in the culture (earth). Maybe the church will become a culture changer instead of adapting to the culture.

Obama's Faith and Homosexuality

Arriana Huffington points out that the current political issues are changing the climate of our political conversations. No longer do the issues seem to be between Republican and Democrat, they are increasingly taking on a "Right, and wrong" tone. Thank you Mrs. Huffington for pointing out what should be obvious. Everything is ultimately a religious issue. No man can escape this. Either you believe there is

• No God (Atheist)
• One God (Monotheist)
• Plural Gods (Polytheist)

Therefore, who will decide what is right, and what is wrong?

1. You
2. Your God
3. Your Gods

No one can escape this... all men are religious.
