  1. Here’s a first-hand story of the Kenosha riots. [Hidden Content] And now, a woman has shared on Facebook what her family recently experienced in the Kenosha, Wisconsin riots. In her post, the thing that stands out in my mind the most is that help was not on the way. The residents of Kenosha who stood their ground were completely on their own against the mobs rampaging through their neighborhoods. I’ve redacted some identifying information from her post – otherwise, the public post is exactly as she shared it on the social media outlet. All emphasis is mine. The damage in Kenosha is astounding. Kenosha isn’t a huge city. It has a population of about 100,000 people. Until these riots, it was not considered a dangerous city. But things changed fast. Here are some photos of the aftermath of the riots. Minus the damage from shells and sniper rifles, looks like a warzone to rival things I saw in Bosnia when I met with Selco and took one of his survival courses.

  7. Horrible call. If back in the spring we had seen the wagons coming around to pick up the all the dead I would understand. But since since the field hospitals and medical ships were never used and the numbers are being played with for political purposes and since the safety karans have found a new thing to get their panties in a wad about the cure is way worse then the sickness
  8. Help me with my thinking. Morality tells the truth, but moralism lies. Morality is not about saying the nice thing, and moralism can unify people, but the truth divides people. Moralism gives room to immoral things. ,like abhorrent political views, such as Political Correctness and Political Correctness is Cultural Marxism. Moralism says “I should not say not nice things”, so to say you can always trust a communist to lie or the only good communist is a dead communist, is wrong and should not be uttered, because it is not nice to want people to die , or call people habitual liars. Even though said communist will lie and kill people, history has shown us that Communism or any other type of totalitarian form of government kills and imprisons people for not following the mandates of the state. Morality says “this is wrong and must be stopped , at whatever cost ,even at the cost of our own lives because “we love our neighbors” who will die or be imprisoned when Marxist ideas become law.” It is easy to be moral ,and it is easy to hide our cowardice under the veil of moralism. But morality will not allow this. I am reminded of the story ,of a church, in Nazi Germany in the 1940's that was by a train station, and one Sunday a train filled with Jews heading to the concentration camp stopped, and the church members could hear the cries of help from the train. Morality says "go help these people", but sadly all the church did was to mask the cries for help by singing louder. These church folks were no doubt "good people''; they loved their family, worked hard, were educated, they paid their bills and submitted to the government, but their moralism did not help those who were being led to slaughter. (Proverbs 24:11-12) It is easy to judge people from the past, and the last thing I want to do is set on a moral high-horse and say “I would never have allowed that”. Not when we see "wokeness" and a Marxist revolution going on in our country, and is destroying my neighbors property and life. Not when my neighbors livelihood and job is being lost because they are deemed non-essential, because my health and safety is more important than the well being of their family . Not when the state is threatening to imprison or fine people for not wearing a mask, in the name of my health and safety, as they let real criminals out of jail so they do not catch the COVID. No, I better stay off that moral high horse becuase the COVID might kill me, but the abortion clinics kill thousands of babies a day. Moral people will take a knee when they are scared, but morality tells us to take a stand. In the Bible we learn what type of people will not enter the kingdom of heaven, and I can check the “I am more moral than those sinful people” box on many of them. I am not a sodomite, nor a thief, I am not a drunkard, I am not a fornicator, I am not an adulator, I am not effeminate, I have never murdered anyone, but the one that scares me, the one that probably got those “good” church folks at the train station though and the one that will get many people today is "cowards will not enter the kingdom of heaven" (Revelations 21:8) See morality does not allow for cowardice, neither does God ,for morality is of God, moralism does allow for cowardice. For moralism allows us to justify our immorality before God. But here is a trustworthy saying that deserves full acceptance: Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners--of whom I am the worst (1 Tim 1:15). So I am glad that I am saved from my sin of not only cowardice, but all the other ones on the list. My point is, morality is not nice, at best apart from Christ we are moralist and in Christ at our worst we are moralist. So how do we as Christians apply the gospel in our everyday lives as lawlessness and tyranny become the norm. How do we live this out in courage, with sound minds able to think clearly ,and deeply as the foundations are destroyed. What is the proper way to apply force if the mob comes to our house, if the government comes to steal our children and the law of man sides against us? How do we not submit again to the yoke of slavery as Galatians 5 tells us not to do. I do not wish to think like a child, I wish to put away childish thinking. It is 2020 and America is a post-modern and post christian nation, so being in the majority probably means you are doing something contrary to the gospel. How can we love our neighbor as ourselves when our neighbors are losing their unalienable rights? So do not give the moralist reason, give me the gospel reason. Is not being a coward telling everybody God loves them, or is it entering into their suffering? Does entering into their suffering mean we literally fight with them in battle as our grandfathers did in WWII are we to be pacifist? Do we stand up to bullies and punch if need be ,or do we just help the victim after the bully gets through with them? Can one stay neutral in a civil war? Last time I checked there is no commandment of thou shalt be nice, but the church seems to think there is and the other 10 do not matter. Do we believe the Bible when it says there is a time for war and a time for peace ,and what are the consequences if we confuse the two? I am not looking to be a good little boy, but a strong Christian man. Like I said any words of wisdom would be appreciated.
