"Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people."

 Proverbs 14:34

Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people.

Let us all therefore repent before it is too late for us or our Nation.

Major US Cities Clamoring For End To Violence

 Major US cities and many other communities are having a hard time containing their panic about violent crime in or near them. Why are we so surprised at the violence, when so many millions of people in this Nation have pushed God away and embraced so many things that He hates? We are NOT going to save ourselves from ourselves nor from our sin nature unless we do it God's way.

Proverbs 11:10-11
¹⁰  When it goeth well with the righteous, the city rejoiceth: and when the wicked perish, there is shouting.
¹¹  By the blessing of the upright the city is exalted: but it is overthrown by the mouth of the wicked.    

We MUST humble ourselves and ask for God's forgiveness for all of our personal and collective sin. We MUST do it God's way through the blood of His Christ by faith. Then and only then shall He hear us and heal us. Remember that if we attempt to add our own sin-stained works to His plan of salvation then He shall cast us off completely, for our sin-stained attempts mock the perfect life and self-sacrifice of the Lord Jesus Christ, Creator, and equal with the Almighty. He is the only one who came to call us out about our sin and at the same time He volunteered, in love, to take our punishment upon Himself, that we might have the opportunity to seek Him, accept Him, turn from our sin to Him, and receive Him by faith. This is not about eating or doing things, but getting outside of our normal worldly heads and hearts to look at Him in faith, "for without faith it is impossible to please Him".

Please turn from your sin, right now, and receive the singular salvation that the only Christ of God offers to you. Then and only then shall we begin to turn ourselves, our families, our towns, cities, and Nation back to wholesome living, instead of trying to legislate morality. Morality has to come from inside of us. All the laws in the world cannot do that. Laws only show us the things that are wrong and the things of which we are afraid, and then prescribe consequences.

Good human laws agree with God's Law. All else is unholy contrivance that God shall trash at His Final Judgment. Please trust God's Christ, today, for this world order is headed for the Lake of Fire, of which the Bible speaks. The Bible's books of John, Romans, and Revelation are loving but stern wake-up calls to every soul on Earth. Read them for they are God's warnings to us that we might choose life and not choose death. Choose God's ways for your life. Live forever in Christ.

Freedom, Crime, Punishment, and Unholy Choices

Popular modern news broadcasts from around the world, including from our own neighborhoods, States, and Nation, in the USA, are riddled with all manner of evil and malicious events. People, in general, based on their own frame of reference, clamor for law, order, decency, and security, but they also want their own freedoms, AND they do NOT want anyone messing with THEIR own ability to do anything they want to do when they want to do it. They want liberty, diversity, populism, perversion, handouts, and they don't want anyone telling their kids they're wrong when they misbehave. All the while they are ungrateful to God for all the blessings that He pours on them daily. They want everyone else to comply with their idea of politically correct things to do and not do, but they do NOT want any absolute standard by which to judge all things, for they want no one else judging them. Their feeling and convenience based social objectives have devolved a great portion of US society into a similar condition as the old Spartan State wherein it seemed as if almost everything was illegal, but, no one complained about individual responsibility as long as the citizens could figure out how to get away with their own proclivities, without getting caught and hauled into court. And, yet, our society is even more confused than that, legally and morally.

Today, huge portions of our society want to walk in self-worship and self-indulgence at their own convenience, to abuse and disenfranchise whomever they desire, to steal from one another with impunity (whether they are rich or poor), to murder unborn children while refusing to execute habitual or repeat criminals, and to pursue many other behaviors that are repugnant to God. Vile behaviors and the people who defend such evil are repugnant to God because such things violate His standards that are good for humanity. He wants people to godly standards, because godly standards are there to preserve and protect us from our own sin. Evil behaviors are, in truth, self-destructive of individuals and their communities. Those who know God agree with Him that all unholy behavior is and shall be forever condemned. Is there no hope for sinners?

Individuals, families, and segments of society that repent of their sin and choose godly living have rejected evil, but are usually looked upon, by evil-doers, as out of touch with modern society. Yet, God's Word says that even though evil things are now called good and good things are now called evil (by the society in which we live), yet, He shall set the record straight and none of those who have cast off His Word and salvation shall have any place in the holy pleasurable aspects of eternity with Him. On the contrary, all those who reject God's Word and salvation shall have their place in the lake of fire that burns forever. Those individuals and nations that reject God plan choose to damn themselves. 

God is in the business of seeking to redeem all who want to be redeemed, but people allow their sin nature, too often, to dominate and push away godly things. Sadly, most people love their sin more than they love God or His Word and His ways. In this, most people victimize themselves and try to blame almost anyone except themselves for their own bad choices.

Our only true hope, in this life or the next, is that God calls us to repentance and to faith in Himself, His Word, His Christ, and His only plan of salvation. He has already simplified all issues of faith and religion, IF we will but look to what He has said in His Word. It is people who love their sin who do NOT want God's simple ways, as they look for and complicate all things spiritual; they look for ways to circumvent what God has said. 

Turn from following those who reject or doubt God and His Word. He holds you responsible, so seek His truth in His Word, for He alone can show you the way of His only eternal redemption. He made that for you and wants you to receive it in faith on the terms that He created. That, alone, is our only hope for joy, peace, harmony, and comfort with God for all eternity. Please, let go of earthly things and choose God's ways.

Here is His only plan of salvation, the only hope for any of us.

Google Search Rats Out Fallacy of Carbon Neutrality

 Many people have no clue, beyond the buzzwords and pop-science, about what various carbon imprint jargon means both literally and practically. One of the favorite things that folks often toss around is "Carbon neutral", just like you can read on the bottom of the Google Search page online, where they claim that Google has been "Carbon neutral since 2007".

However, in order for anyone or any company to claim that they are carbon neutral, that means that they already overproduce carbon waste products. In order to achieve a negotiated level of Carbon neutrality, the overproducer of Carbon must purchase a balance of anti-carbon footprint credits from someone else. According to Bloomberg those credits can be falsified.

Check out this Google search of the carbon neutral topic. It is very interesting reading.
