Breaking out of chains is not easy. Succeeding at any goal requires losing some skin, making ripples on the water, kicking up dust, and evicting the status quo.

Someone will always object.

If you want to do anything, you must ask yourself: Does objecting make someone an expert? Does disagreeing give one person the right to filibuster another person’s choice?

Freedom, victory over evil, vibrancy, and a healthy, thriving life have requirements. While many people don’t object to these ends, someone always come up with excuses to interrupt their only means.

Don’t let anyone steal your dreams, not even whiners.  · · · →

Only God’s rules can lead to great prosperity and only God’s rules can keep it.

After the Bible partially tamed and civilized the West, after more civilization spread with more Bible influence to the New World, and after the prosperity of the New World spread across the globe, God’ prosperity is no longer secret nor a commodity.

But, having piggybacked off of the benefits of the wisdom of few, the masses have been given the keys to a car like children who don’t know how to drive. Only death can come of this. And, the children will think everything unfair.  · · · →

To people who always cower and tout false humility as a virtue, confidence seems like pride. Someone raised in a barn would call mom a Nazi for asking people to take their shoes off at the door.

It’s not that mom wants to hawk everyone, but everyone should want a clean house. And, it takes some confidence to even ask, just as it takes confidence to take off your shoes when asked, without being offended. Gratitude requires confidence.

It’s interesting how the people who complain the most about someone else’s purported “pride” usually complain about a lot of other things.  · · · →

Psalm 122:6 prays for peace in Jerusalem.

Many political leaders think along a spectrum with being pro-Israel at one end and being pro-peace at the other. Yet, the Bible seems to have them together.

When Donald Trump explained that he wanted to remain objective in hopes of negotiating peace, many thought he was being less-supportive of Israel. However, those who have listened to Trump, rather than listening to Trump edited, knew otherwise. Perhaps, those who read their Bibles recognized that seeking to have peace in Jerusalem is the strongest pro-Israel position.

Strange that the most pro-Israel candidate is compared to Hitler.
