Chicago's Violent Reaction to Trump Rally

Image
What a rowdy and misguided bunch! The reaction Donald Trump experienced in Chicago did not surprised me.  I totally expected it. People are protesting Trump because they are reacting to their emotions, rather than their heads. When I woke up to go to work, I saw very early from the newscast how some protesters where already there at 6:30 am.  And I knew some of them!! A city of Chicago protest has many dark forces working and influencing it.  I know because when I was younger I participated in many of them.  I worked protests to bring justice to animal abuse, immigrant rights, police brutality, and the environment.  For about five years I got involved in many of them here in Chicago.  I did so because I had a deep conviction for what was right and just.  I felt I was doing the right thing.  That is why I always supported protests, as long as they were non-violent. However, God was opening my eyes to the reality of a protest.  Whi...

Obama's Refusal to Call Christian Massacres "Genocide"

Image
What happened to President Obama?  When he was Senator Obama. When he was grassroots activist Obama.  He seemed as if he was more humbler.  It seems like over the last 8 years he has built some form of rage---an overwhelming hate towards Christians. As soon as he became president, he slammed the door at Christianity.  When Franklin Graham wanted to visit him--he slammed the door shut.  When I read that I was very surprised.  But little did I know that that was a portent of graver things to come for the Christian faith. For the last five years, ISIS and other Muslim radicals have been waging a systematic campaign to wipe Christians off the face of the earth.  On March 17 Congress is asking Obama to declare these crimes against Christians for what they really are:   genocide .  He has refused to do so for the last five years.  John Kerry says that there needs to be more "proof".  He says that "anecdotal" records won't do. ...

Brock Osweiler: The Million Dollar Man

Image
$72 million dollars!  That is what Brock Osweiler is worth for four years of active duty with the NFL. Athletes are some of the highest paid people on earth.  No amount of money however can buy you, your way to heaven.  Being saved cannot be bought with money, work or material possessions.  To go to heaven you need Jesus Christ.  We don't have to pay anything.  Jesus Christ has paid it all off. 72 million dollars is a lot of moolah, but it cannot buy you a place next to Jesus.  That amount of money cannot compare to going to heave.  Think about it. The richest man in football!!

Donald: Trump or Chump!

Image
Recently Pope Francis, when visiting Mexico said that Donald Trump is not a Christian.  He believes that Donald Trump is not a Christian because he rather build walls than bridges.  Donald is now taking on the Pope.  Which for me it is kinda funny.  There are many of his views I don't agree with. Donald is saying some very offensive things about many people and groups.  But I don't think he means it.  And if he did, America has so many checks and balances that a lot of the things he says he will do, he will not be allowed to get away with if he is elected president. I think what needs to happen is that people should not be so quick to judge.  But they should pause for a second and think if what he is saying makes sense or not. That is what I did when he recently spoke in a public forum.  One of the things I got from his speech is that he makes a lot of sense, he is not afraid to speak his mind, and the guy is very smart!! When he talke...

Manny Pacquaio: Public Enemy #1

Image
I can't believe what people are saying about Manny Pacquaio--multi-time champion of the boxing world. Recently he said some disparaging remarks about gays and when a petition got started for Nike to drop him as a sponsor--they did so with less than 4,000 signatures.  Another petition in support of Manny as of this writing shows over 14,000 signatures. I will be the first one to say that if you have nothing good to say don't say it.  Yet, his critics are going bananas to paint him as public enemy #1 simply for stating his opinion.  They have branded him a bigot and a homophobe.  Yet, those that are criticizing him are spewing their own brand of hate and bigoted remarks.   Manny has come along way to redeem himself.  It is amazing to me how he has a full schedule, boxes several times a year, is a senator in his home country of the Philippines, is a pastor and recently donated millions of dollars of his own money to build homes for the poor. ...

Victory in Jesus: Claim it.

Look unto Jesus Christ.  He will let your life shine Quite often we go through life getting hammered by life's challenges.  We can become so overwhelmed that we become feeling depressed and defeated.  But in truth, that is not and should not be the case.  To Jesus Christ, we are worth the entire world.  WE are valuable to Jesus Christ.  Turn to Jesus.  Thank God for sending Jesus Christ to this earth,  Jesus Christ gave his life for you.  To Him you are worthy.  Don't beat yourself up anymore.  Look up to heaven, pray to God and He will deliver you from whatever is hurting you right now.  Please believe.  Walk with your head high up. Claim victory in Jesus.  You have already won.
