Climate Change is real!

 Okay, I don't know a whole lot about it (the science that is) but most people don't... and that's the point!   There are aspects of this argument that the average joe can't sit there and explain - UNLESS they're a climate scientist.  So in large part, we have to leave it to them to argue the points.  But there are certain facts that have been determined to explain the divide and the lack of trust behind just simply believing and going with opposing narratives within the debate.

#1 - It's of huge news that most of American simply just no longer trusts the media.

#2- Government isn't doing a really good job in the extremes between left and right.

And then there's the international push to implement big money decisions that will effect our economy and society if we just simply accommodate to everything they say and propose, etc.

We can see the bias.

And "AOC" (We all know who she is) really doesn't help anyone by screaming, "We're going to all die in 12 years"!   Nope!  Not helping.

She kinda might have needed to get most of American behind her before she can just think we're all going to follow her on that one.... but we don't sooo.

And then there's the THEOLOGY of things which as always, touches pretty much all aspects of life, truth, etc.    That's where The Bible comes in.

The Bible teaches that - 

"While the earth remains, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night, shall not cease.”  - Genesis 8:22

It also teaches that - 

"And behold, there arose a great storm on the sea, so that the boat was being swamped by the waves; but he was asleep. And they went and woke him, saying, “Save us, Lord; we are perishing.” And he said to them, “Why are you afraid, O you of little faith?” Then he rose and rebuked the winds and the sea, and there was a great calm. And the men marveled, saying, “What sort of man is this, that even winds and sea obey him?”

- Matthew Chapt. 8

 

We know that God has a plan that's laid out in scripture.   We understand that in the last days, it's prophesied that there will be changes in the seasons and great signs and wonders will happen with regard to earth but these things are meant as a sign of things to come.  

We believe the science is not just nebulous as to preventing these things but we're not really in consensus as to whether it's due to (in large part) human activity OR even what humans can do to stop it -- if and when it happens.   We understand that climate change ebbs and flows with time, that many scientists don't see much distinction in what is being seen now to record progressive continuity of extreme climate, and of coarse, the bias behind those who are pushing the dooms day scenarios don't exactly give us much confidence.

The larger supposed culprits of these global climate catastrophes due to world pollution aren't going to be imposed  to do anything about it.  In much cases, India and China (who is said to have too much influence in the global economic contributions) won't be participating half as much as the US is expected to.

On top of that, it's said that the cult-like frenzy of trying to fix the world by decreasing the consumption of fossil fuels in less developed nations will cause more damage, death and suffering.

So... From a Christian world view...this dooms day scenario is about giving in to too much power towards rich international elites who are doing too much preaching about the end of the world while there's too great a push to accept the narrative regardless of the imposition and livelihood of other more helpless nations and the power grab attempt to take over all facets of our societies.   And we don't like it.

Oh, and did I mention .. all from a secular world view?  Yep.  The international powers that seek to take full control of all facets of our raw materials needed for life, flourishing and human rights and freedoms are anti-God.    And that never helps.

Trust has always been an issue.

Ya gotta have it.

It's been said that "we're living in a disposable world".   God said He's got a plan and the world isn't going to end until HE says so.   So sure, there will be calamities and death and destruction, and an increase of it but it's not like humanity can stop the hand of God.  That's perhaps the silliest part of where the climate hysteria has taken people, and many are convinced somehow, we can.     But we've never been able to stop death or always be there to prevent it, or know when it'll strike.   And trying to will only hurt and inconvenience many others in our thinking we can play God -- which man often tries to do with a secular humanistic mindset.  

We should use the technology we now have honestly to help people without letting big money elites tag along with their crazy god-playing ideologies, and then perhaps people will have more trust and consensus to work together.  No, we can't just hand over the sovereignty of our nation by allowing a global elitist message of dooms day to literally change our economy, freedoms in society by handing over power to them.

Once again, It's an argument pertaining to word views.  

Those who trust in man, will perceive things in one way.

Those who trust in God will .... not trust in man.   

"It is better to take refuge in the LORD Than to trust in man." - Psalm 118:8

Chief Justice Roberts - "Woe to the evil judges"

Can you imagine what the judgment is like upon an evil judge?  Just read what God thinks about evil judges and the woe's He proclaims upon their heads in The Word of God.  Being "chiefly" responsible for the evils in the land.  Perverting justice.  It's scary to even think about it.    No fear of God in the land.

SCOTUS strikes down law requiring abortionists to have admitting privileges so they can get urgent medical care for women injured by botched abortions,

"And He said to His disciples, "Temptations to sin are sure to come, but woe to the one through whom they come"'. - Luke 17:1

To Hell in a hand basket, and FAST!

More and more, this society is self destructing as if we were in the most ridiculous and chaotic nightmare, and couldn't wake up!


Minneapolis City Council votes to disband the police.

“The time is surely coming,” says the Sovereign LORD, “when I will send a famine on the land— not a famine of bread or water but of hearing the words of the LORD."

It's obvious at this point that the "restrainer" isn't doing much restraining, and the principalities and powers are running a muck over the world.  Things will continue spiraling out of control until the world is completely draped under the control of Satan himself.  

Those who were sleeping and should have been standing watch, and sober were instead sitting quietly while in there lukewarm stupor allowed their communities to be influenced by demonic influence.

And so, it didn't take long before we went down the sewage tubes.  The only thing left is for someone to finally flush!   

What we're seeing here is a dry run for a revolution of hedonism and chaos which will then be turned over to a controlled governance of socialism that will in time go full communism.   What else is new?

There will be weeping and confusion, and some will still be wondering how it all happen.   

But those who are the elect of God will understand and they will prepare their hearts, they will be bold, and "be more than conquerors in Christ Jesus".  

Let us begin to seek each other out, start assembling together with like-spirit, and especially now as we see the time approaching.  

While we give our 5 minutes of gasping and fear, let us then put it aside and praise our God because He is true and faithful.  He told us all these things would happen, and behold He is coming quickly.   

Praise God!  Increase our faith Lord, strengthen us, and watch over us.  The time is near.

Come Lord Jesus!

Everyone has a religion...

The question is, are they worshiping the true God?

The person who rejects the God of the Bible is a religionist, they're just denying The God they know exist by suppressing the truth in unrighteousness.  So it doesn't matter whether they call themselves an "atheist" or agnostic (which is defined as ignoramus in the dictionary), they're still worshiping something.  Instead, this person worships the person they see in the mirror, "the man in the mirror" -- or the person they see in the mirror.  We are to pray and reason with people through God's truth so that God might perhaps lead them to repentance.

Repentance is a grace of God.  One can only truly repent if God leads them towards the truth.  God has revealed truth to all of us -- because we all know He exists and He has placed the truth of right and wrong within our understanding AND and everything around us declares God's glory.  

When man denies God, it's because they're runners... people running from the truth, and they will use anything, even absurdity to get away.

  

Free will or sovereign God?

All scripture which points to our suffering towards God sanctifying us is exclusive to our earthly perspective but God's sovereignty reins over eternity and has already been predetermined which are His mysteries only to be revealed to us later? Our assurance of salvation then is in knowing we're growing in His grace, fruit of the Spirit and abiding.

That alone is the jurisdiction of our knowledge which then continues to lean on faith which also is a gift of God.

Men don't be intimidated...

... by stay-at-home dads.

You'd be surprised how intimidated some men are concerning this. The silent - no comment look they give when you tell them you're a stay-at-home dad.

But it's not so much because they're looking down on stay-at-home dads. It's more because many know THEY THEMSELVES could be not too far away from having to "stay home" themselves. For many men, it wasn't a choice to stay home, it's a trend brought on by today's market economy.

But often times men don't criticizing it more because they're afraid of speaking out against the cultural implications of "sexism" rather than because they recognize what it's doing to the framework of the family at home.

But what if the economic and societal conditions fling more and more men out of the job market? Isn't that what's happened over the last 20 years? Lets just say, men are having a hard time with this, and families have indeed been impacted by it. Lets be humble about these things. While it's not a bad thing to have dad around the house more often, it's nevertheless an anomaly w/in the family economy that demonstrates a fracturing society.

Today's technology and industry has allowed many people to work from home and spend more time at home, but many have had to stay home altogether.

It's actually NOT a good thing that more and more women are "replacing" men in the job market and being the financial head-of households.

That is, in spite of the celebration of women being more empowered in the workforce.

Women are more than half of the ones entering college and attaining higher degrees and there seems to be today more and more opportunities for women in the workforce - whereas for men, this trend is just the opposite.

Therefore, it's good for some women.... not so good for men. It can be a double-edged sword.

God has given men their roles in the home and God has given women their roles in the home. This has become taboo to even suggest it in today's culture. But it's a general reality that when ignored and/or replaced in a society, will always lead to societal destruction.

So, if this is the case in society today, let it continue being an anomaly with the hopes that it'll be flipped back around in society as soon as possible.

Eat, drink, be merry...

can be just as much a stublingblock as that person who puts first his talents towards his/her worldly necessity, and does not regard his/her stewardship of that talent towards the One who has provided it to them.  Lets not forget The Lord of the Harvest in the spirit of Thanksgiving.  

Someone in the crowd said to him, “Teacher, tell my brother to divide the inheritance with me.” But he said to him, “Man, who made me a judge or arbitrator over you?” And he said to them, “Take care, and be on your guard against all covetousness, for one’s life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions.” 

And he told them a parable, saying, “The land of a rich man produced plentifully, and he thought to himself, ‘What shall I do, for I have nowhere to store my crops?’ And he said, ‘I will do this: I will tear down my barns and build larger ones, and there I will store all my grain and my goods. And I will say to my soul, “Soul, you have ample goods laid up for many years; relax, eat, drink, be merry.”’ But God said to him, ‘Fool! This night your soul is required of you, and the things you have prepared, whose will they be?’ So is the one who lays up treasure for himself and is not rich toward God.”

(Luke Chapter 12)
