God Defines Phony Repentance
If we would apply this lesson to our sin in our lives, we should have a better relationship with God and with each other, but our nature is to self-willed sin and because of that willful sin nature we need to surrender to the only one who can save us from ourselves, the Lord Jesus Christ, our Creator.
May God bless and keep you, as you seek Him in and through His Word.

Web Visit Stats: People Seem Colder To God's Christ & Salvation
Below is a table listing the completed annual tallies of website visitors to www.craigszwed.net. I have compared the total number of visitors with the number of people who visited my website's gospel page at least once.
What do the statistics really indicate? Only God knows. However, when looking at the totals and the relative percentages, there appears to be a significant decline in the number of people who are interested in God's Christ, gospel, and His singular salvation. Are the percentage results in this survey a true indicator of the spiritual temperature of the souls in today's world? I don't know. I do know that the Bible says that in the last days humanity's love will grow cold. The directional indications of the numbers and comparisons, below, seem to agree with the Bible's eons-long statement.

Bless God that at least those 5,862 people looked at the gospel at least that once in their lives. May they now allow the Holy Spirit of Christ to lead them into His salvation, His peace, and His Works.
Dear Jesus, please help us to keep sharing Your good news of Your salvation with everyone around us. Help us to do so without wavering or faltering, that we be bold in all that is good in Your sight.

Obama's Gun Control?? White House Staffer Allegedly Threatens Police Boyfriend
In the following web search we see a recent incident committed by a member of President Obama's anti-gun staff, in which that Obama staffer allegedly illegally brandished a firearm, just as violent criminals and insane people do. Barvetta Singletary has been reported as being charged with having threatened deadly force in a situation that did NOT warrant such extreme conduct on her part.

Refugees, Immigrants, Sex Attacks, Terrorism: Is There Any Cause For Concern?
Some would accuse me of trying to beat on the President. OK, let's give the President the benefit of any doubt for one moment, maybe he forgot or no one advised him about those issues... yeah, right! On the other hand, let's just do a Google search about terrorism and see what people around the world are concerned with about that topic: https://www.google.com/#q=worldwide+terrorism+statistics.

YES. Presidential Candidate Ted Cruz "Natural Born"
Among others who have raised the question of whether or not presidential candidate Ted Cruz should be in the race for the White House, presidential candidate Donald Trump recently brought that up, yet again. So let's see what a Google search finds... (evidently this is really a NON-ISSUE)....
In just a few seconds of web searching, I found a wealth of historical information that sets precedent after precedent confirming that all previous presidential candidates that were born to natural born U.S. citizens were accepted, no matter where the child was born.
In every case where the U.S. parent or parents happened to be living outside these United States of America at the time of the candidate's birth, every one of the candidates were later legally, constitutionally, and congressionally accepted as valid natural born U.S. citizens, and therefore, unquestionably eligible to be a President of our Nation.
Therefore, given the historical information available about Cruz's parents, any question of Ted Cruz's natural born citizenship should be favorably settled and closed, in the mind of any rational person, as the following article points out.
It is of special interest that, throughout 240 years of U.S. history, the U.S. Supreme Court has never felt it necessary to rule on the authenticity of any presidential candidate's natural born citizenship status, including the birth, citizenship, and candidacy of Senator Barry Goldwater who was born in Arizona before it ever became a State in the USA.

State of Union Shows President In La-La Land
Human Nature & Violence: A Response to Senator Murphy
Thank you for your lengthy letter about firearms, anti-social behavior, and criminal activity.
With all due respect to the august Office that you hold, I take offense that you neglect to acknowledge the more than 100 years of failed anti-gun legislation in our nation, legislation that has failed to control the part of human nature that takes upon itself the will to do evil. I take offense that you have taken it upon yourself to force your personal feelings, opinion, and rule over Connecticut and U.S. citizens, and that you fail to represent law-abiding citizens of Connecticut, and our Nation, whenever you fail to honor our Constitution’s Language.

Connecticut, STOP Supporting Governor Malloy!

Gun-free Zones, The Law, & Sin
Those who legislate or dictate carte blanche gun-free and weapon-free zones are responsible for putting innocent people at grievous risk because such zones prohibit law-abiding citizens from being armed and thereby keeping good people from helping to protect the innocent.
Romans 7:10-11
10 And the commandment, which was ordained to life, I found to be unto death.
11 For sin, taking occasion by the commandment, deceived me, and by it slew me.
Even better than reading just the few verses and chapter mentioned, it is incumbent on all who would improve or affect the tenor and nature of our society that they must avail themselves of what God says about human nature by reading the whole Book of Romans in the Bible. Without understanding what God says therein rulers and policy setters have no clue as to what God says about human nature or what the duties of rulers and policy setters are before God Almighty.
Hypocrisy Is Killing USA - Get Back To God & Constitution
The writer's point was that if we keep voting for the same kinds of people, then we are going to keep getting the same kind of government about which we are already complaining. The writer raised three thorny statements, that nail the hypocritical and false heart and mind of some politicians and voters in our society. My own paraphrase and embellishments of the comments follow:

Good, Evil, Respect, & Worship
There are a lot of people who try to blame the devil or demons for all the trouble in the world, but that isn't biblically accurate, nor does it fit common sense. Yes, biblically speaking, the devil and demons comprise 1/3 of the former host of heaven. God cast that rebellious 1/3 down to Earth so that their true rebellion and desires would be made clearly and fully manifest. Do not despair!

January 2016 Letter to Governor Malloy
"When in the course of human events...." ..."We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed...."
This year, in the USA, we are on the verge of ever graver infringements, adulterations, and perversions of our Declaration of Independence, and of our Constitution and its Bill of Rights.
With more proposed edicts on the way from our President and some Governors, including here in Connecticut, I took it upon myself to write the following letter to Connectcut Governor Malloy, and a version of this same letter to President Obama and certain members of Congress.

U.S. Law: 8 U.S. Code 1182 Exposes Obama Wishes Vs. Immigration Legal Truth
The first Google Search shows Obama's ambition to excuse illegal immigration.
The second search shows that U.S. Law: 8 U.S. Code 1182 (put on the books in 1952!) already provides sufficient legislation to address how to handle illegal and undesirable immigration, including how former presidents have used the law to weed out aliens who were esteemed to be a threat to the USA and who needed to be deported.

Compare Our Modern Lives & World With Nehemiah's
Here are some ideas to look for as you read this treasure trove of how to combat worldly and spiritual attacks, and how to accomplish godly missions in your life.
Search For REAL Peace
The two primary questions we must ask ourselves are, 1) Who is God? and 2) Are we in a working personal relationship with Him? If we are not sure on either point, or if we do not agree with Him about these two points, then we are lost in our sin and in jeopardy of perishing without salvation. Those are the first two steps toward finding the kind of peace to which God calls us.

Do We Live Life Based On Feelings & Preferences or Convictions & Obedience?
What do YOU think God's message means for YOUR life and the society in which you live?
Seek God's Path according to His Word, for only those who reject His Solution put themselves beyond His plan of redemption.

Behind 2016 Anti-gun Candidates' Campaign Rhetoric: CONFISCATION
GET YOUR HEADS OUT OF THE SAND!!
1. In TOTAL violation of the Language AND LAW of our Constitution, and in avoidance of any viable attempts to confront the real social issues that drive or motivate people to commit acts of violence...
2. And, at the rate that the anti-firearms noise is growing and that illogic is being financed...
3. ... There may very well be coming, soon, to a political candidate, elected official, or legal system official near you, the slithery talk about AND actions to find ways of disarming law-abiding US citizens AND confiscating our personal weapons.
