Patience is paramount.

When a hypocrite crosses your path, God is hoping you respond to him without hypocrisy. When a heretic enters the fold, Holy Angels keep records of your own heresy—whether your actions prove your belief that God is sovereign and stronger. When someone tries to harm your love ones—or your country—Jesus is there as the King of Kings, watching to see whether you will respond within his golden rule.

When trouble crosses your path, do you enjoy God’s method of giving you endurance enough to scale mountains or do you rebuke Him for it?  · · · →

In the Gospels, Jesus teaches us to judge a man by his fruit. This does not mean that we judge him by his activity, but that we judge his activity by what that activity produces. This is also what he meant when he said, “I search heart and mind, yet I render to each according to his work.” God does not judge by our busyness, but by the value of our business.

Activity is good or bad based on what lasting effect comes after. While it is wrong to condemn any person, we can always judge any fruits of labor.  · · · →

My rich dad often talked about four things that affected his bank account: 1. wild belief in big possibilities, 2. judging people by fruits, 3. accepting criticism from people who have the results you want, 4. delayed luxury gratification.

Judging by results is hard to learn. Where there is smoke, there is a fire. Things grow where we plant them. Successful people re-evaluate their methods if they see bad results. But, failures often limit themselves with artificial “can’ts” and don’t accept the truth fruit tells.

So, the rich know how to get richer and the poor are able to stay poor while wanting otherwise.  · · · →

The real reason American voters prefer Donald Trump is violence. Jesus said that, from the beginning, the Kingdom of Heaven was a kingdom of violence—and that the violent take by force.

Many analysts are trying to understand why Trump is so popular. Many agree it is not Conservatism. But, America is made up of God’s people. He’s willing to be violent rather than politically correct.

We could view Trump as a patriot. He loves his home country and he is willing to alienate anyone and lose everything for his country. That makes sense, a president who loves his country.  · · · →
