It is not easy being Christian.  One of the hardest challenges we will face as Christians is that we will meet many people that will try to take advantage of us due to our Christian faith.  As Christian what do we do?  Christ taught us to be meek as sheep.  How do we prevent people from taking advantage of us but still remain true to our faith? I believe that Jesus Christ KNEW we would run into this problem.  He knew that there would be MANY that would try to take advantage of us and, had he NOT left us with a way out, we would be UTTERLY devoured by wolves.  His teaching is quite clear and it bears mentionining it.  We must never forget what he said to prevent that from happening.  "Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves. Be ye therefore WISE as serpents and HARMLESS as doves (Matthew 10:16, KJV). The people that know you are a Christina, will try to WEAPONIZE your faith against you! This has happened to me several times. ...

Has anyone seen the latest photos on Melania at the 4th of July celebration? When President Trump announced that he would celebrate our military during Independence Day many people criticized him for his doing so. It was amazing to see how thousands, upon thousands of people showed up to celebrate. It was also very amazing to see all the festivities. But one of the most amazing photos had to be that of Melania. As the Blue Angels flew up in the heavens, Melania looked so beautiful as she gazed in wonder at the performances of the air force. That has to be one of the most beautiful pictures of any First Lady.  On top of her beauty and innocent child-like wonderment, she has an incredible sense of fashion not seen since Jackie Kennedy.  In this photo one can see her long white fashionable dress laced with some strips of color. Her makeup is also always impeccable.  This entire scene reminds me of how God praises the beauty of women.  Of all creation, wom...

This week California got hit by two major earthquakes, plus hundreds of smaller ones.  The news showed how people were all running away from the buildings for fear of collapsing.  The hysteria involved people crying, very fearful of the worst.  As believers we need to understand that these things (disasters) will happen.  But the Bible prepares ahead with several warnings found in the bible.  And great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and famines, and pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven. Luke 21:11 This is what we are to expect in the last days.  We should be ready spiritually.  To us this means that Jesus Christ is coming back for us.  However, what should you do while we wait for Jesus Christ's return?  The experts tell us that we can prepare for earthquakes in this fashion--- 1. Drop on the ground, cover yourself and hold on to something sturdy. 2. Try to protect your head. 3. If you sm...

By Atlantic Records(Life time: Published before 1978 without a copyright notice) - Original publication: Billboard MagazineImmediate source: page 7 , PD-US , Link Today marks the death of one Aretha Franklin.  She was 76 years old.  Born in 1942 Aretha was a singer that transcended different generations.  The first time I was exposed to her music was when she sang the National Anthem at Wrestlemania 3. I was also exposed to her music when she sang "I Knew You Were Waiting (For Me)"  with George Michael.  They made a great duet.  It is so sad to see her go. She had a great voice. President Trump today said her voice was "God given".  I cannot agree more. I heard today while watching Fox News that she also sang at Dr. Martin Luther King's funeral.  She was a true Civil Rights leader.  And who can forget her song, "Respect"?  It was a song for the times when African-Americans experienced discrimination at a great degree. But one o...

Filipino citizens face a horrifying life and death struggle at the hands of their hospital system. Any time a Filipino faces a medical emergency going to the hospital does not mean that they will get the medical attention to save their lives. Rodrigo Duterte takes his oath as he is sworn in as the 16th President of the Philippines, 30 June 2016 / Public Domain This past month I came across a true story of how a daughter had to leave the comfort of the USA to go to her ailing father in the Philippines.  Her 78 year old father was admitted into the hospital of General Santos for multiple ailments.  Suffice to say he lost consciousness due to complications of diabetes and a month long struggled ensued to save his life. In the United States and other First World Countries, going to the hospital is not hard.  In the United States, by law if you have a medical emergency they have to admit you.  Not so in the Philippines.  Before her father got admitted ...

Creative Commons   Attribution 2.0 Generic  license. How beautiful it was to hear the Lord's Prayer recited by arguably the most powerful woman in the world.  How beautiful it was.  On Friday Saturday 18, Melania did just that.  I was very surprised and it was refreshing.  What the Trumps have been doing is refreshing. Here are two people, practically secular in every way and they are going out on a limb to utter Jesus Christ.  To make public statements about about God when if fact God was not in anyone's lips for the past eight years. Going back to Melania, the liberals are attacking her for her prayer.  They are so petty they even are critical of her accent.  But for me that is what made it so beautiful.  Her accent made that prayer even so much more beautiful.  I could sense that her voice was slightly cracking.  She sounded nervous to deliver such as a very powerful prayer.  But I sensed that God was becoming ...

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...

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. ...

$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!!

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...

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. ...

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.

The Internet is abuzz considering that recent reports state that many people across the world are offended by the words, "Merry Christmas".  One of the latest incidents involves a South Asian despot. The sultan of Brunai has banned any public displays of the holiday because he states that "it could damage the faith of Muslims." What a coward.  Big Old Hassanl Bolkiah is scared of a little baby Jesus. No one is allowed to show their Christmas spirit in that godforsaken country of his.  This does not show his superiority.  It shows great weakness for any faith or person to ban anything that has to do with Christianity.  It shows that they are utterly insecure.  Hey buddy, you don't have to worry.  Why would I be any other faith other than Christian?  To be controlled? To be ruled over by legalism, the threat of death, or capital punishment?   Please. What this weakling does not realize is that if little baby Jesus scares him, wait u...

Dear Professor Larycia Hawkins, Recently your conviction to believe that Muslims and Christians worship the same God has caused a firestorm throughout the country.  Wheaton College had to suspend you because your beliefs do not match theirs.  And to be sure, the college did not suspend you for wearing a hijab. I am writing to tell you and the world that your views about Christians and Muslims believing in the same God are not Biblical.  They are not Christian whatsoever.  I will also make it clear that no , Christians and Muslims do not worship the same God.  People who believe that we do worship the same God either don't know the real Christ, or they have a hidden agenda. I have studied Islam and I have read the Koran.  I have also read the history of Muhammad and how he spread Islam.  When gathering all the literature and assessing the words and actions of Muhammad and their Allah one can deduce that Jesus Christ, the Father, and Allah of ...

The latest news going around the country is how Muslim discrimination is on the rise.  With the latest attacks in Paris and San Bernardino, California it is being reported that Muslims are being the target of hate.  It is very unfortunate that this is happening. No one should be marginalized for the few that cause crimes.  The media is quick to point out that something must be done about it. Sadly, hate towards Muslims will continue to increase because it is very unlikely that Islamic terrorist cells will stop killing innocent people.  The more attacks created by Muslim terrorists the country will resent them even more.  What should be done?  The Nation should address the problem.  Muslims themselves must get involved and stop people they know who are determine to cause us harm. The country should acknowledge that Islam will always provide a steady supply of extremists to their cause.  Why?  Because it is ingrained in their teachings. ...

A few years ago I was reading the bible and came across this very startling verse: "A prophecy against Damascus:  See, Damascus will no longer be a city but will become a heap of ruins."  Isaiah 17:1 When I first read this verse it blew my mind away.  At the time when I read this verse Syria had no problems yet.  How can this come to pass.  Fast forward to the present and how times have changed. We have at least 6 countries fighting in this region.  These countries are Syria, Iran, USA, France, Russia, and Jordan.  England recently reported that they will jump to the fray.  Turkey recently got involved when they shot down the Russian jet.  Even Pope Francis has openly declared that there is a World War 3 taking place. It is a very frightening scenario.  One wrong move and the USA could be actively firing at Russian, or each other. Or Russia going to war against Turkey.  When this happens I can clearly see the above verse...

As of recent history, France has suffered from two major terrorists attacks.  Our hearts go out to the French people.  We hope and pray it stops.  But deep in our hearts we know it will continue.  The acts of a few Islamic terrorists are causing a huge debate across the globe.  Do we accept the Syrian refugees? One must ask why these refugees are still getting accepted.  The best solution is to have an international coalition set up a safe zone to house all the refugees, but to bring them to America, or other European countries such as France, is not a very good idea. According to Wikipedia,  a 2011 survey by IFOP, a French public opinion research organization, found that 47 percent of residents of the Paris Region (Île-de-France) identified themselves as Roman Catholic, though just 15 percent said they were practicing Catholics, while 46 percent were non-practicing. In the same survey, 7 percent of residents identified themselves as Mus...

A few days ago, I read a comment on Facebook about someone criticizing the Christian Right.  I replied by saying, Christian Right??  What the heck does that mean?  If there is such as thing as a Christian Right, then there MUST be a thing as an Immoral Left. America.  America.  The Nation that loves labels and everyone needs to be placed in a little corner. Why can't people just be people? At any rate, Liberals tend to accuse many who are in the church as being too conservative.   I don't think conservatives denounce the label.  They actually like it.  Again, if such as thing as a Christian Right exist, that those that criticize some of the values expressed by those in the 'right', then there must be an Immoral Left.   The Immoral Left are people that don't care about public displays of immoral behavior, such as people walking naked in the street. Or those people that believe that a transgender person has a right to use the same ...

Today over one million French citizens are protesting the murders of the 12 cartoonist.  Over 40 heads of state are present.  The ideology of thinking you have the right to kill a person who expresses themselves is fascist.  The entire world needs to rise up and stop these murderous ideologies.  No other faith in the world, other than Satanism, openly teaches to kill those that oppose you.  When is the world going to wake up?  When are we going to admit that people who believe in killing in the name of their God is a threat to everyone? God does not need any human being to fight His battles. We need to stop believing in this political correct crap.  No other faith teaches that if you are killed in a holy war you will go to heaven. Christianity is the whole opposite.  All you have to do is believe in the Lord Jesus Christ to go to heaven!  You do not have to go on a pilgrimage that will cost you thousands of dollars.  You do not ...

Islamic Terrorism Across the World from 2009 to 2013 Muslim terrorists have struck again.  This time they have killed 12 members of the weekly satirical French newspaper Charlie Hebdo .  It is terrible news that these attacks have been carried out just for some cartoons that were done in poor taste.  Apparently Charlie Hebdo has done many offensive cartoons in the past.  Especially cartoons that have offended the Muslim world.  I had never heard of this publication until now.  When I Goggled it, I can see why people would be angry.  They are equal opportunity offenders since they have also made fun of Christians and Jews. In one cartoon they have what is supposed to be God, His Son Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit.  I must confess that when I saw this cartoon it made me angry.  But instead of lashing out I said, "Oh God, please forgive them for doing this cartoon that is very offensive."  As offensive as this cartoon, depicting ...
