christians-stand-up-and-vote1On February 9th, 2016, a group of Kentucky’s Legislators revealed the shenanigans of “politics by politicians” instead of government being operated by statesmen.  These “shenanigans” were led by Speaker of the House, Greg Stumbo (Democrat from Floyd Co.).  Senate Bill 7 would have stopped Kentucky tax dollars from going to that wicked organization which is misleadingly named Planned ParenthoodPlanned Parenthood probably commits more abortions across this nation that any other single organization which does abortions.  The bill to defund Kentucky’s Planned Parenthood of Kentucky tax dollars was stuck in a Kentucky House committee, so advocates presented what’s called a procedural bill in order to bring SB 7 to the House floor for an “up or down” vote.  The vote to bring out SB 7 so it could be voted on went like this:

47 voted for SB 7 to come to the House Floor for an “up or down” vote.

10 voted against it coming to the Floor.

39 did not vote at all!!

When no vote is cast at all in the Legislature, that inaction is counted as a vote against the bill.  This meant that 49 Legislators were against defunding Planned Parenthood; 47 Legislators were for defunding Planned Parenthood.  To make it even plainer:  47 Legislators wanted to stop hundreds of abortions from happening in Kentucky; 49 Legislators wanted to keep hundreds of abortions happening in Kentucky this year!

Salt is a powerful agent.  It nourishes, heals, flavors, and preserves things.  Jesus used it as an illustration of what His followers are to be.  He stated,

“You are the salt of the earth…”

walked-on-salt1(Matthew 5:13)

As His life flows through born again believers, He nourishes, heals, flavors, and preserves people of every age and description by them being introduced to Him and His delivering power.  On the other hand, Jesus gave a fearful warning concerning us being the “salt” of this earth.  He went on to state,

“… but if the salt has lost its savor, wherewith shall it be salted?  It is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men.”

In other words, if we, the “salt” of this earth lose our ability to nourish, heal, flavor, and preserve, we will find ourselves being “walked-on” in our society. Continue reading

Thomas Sowells is a powerful political commentator.  He is a senior fellow at the trumps-words-or-hillarys-deeds1Hoover Institution, Stanford University, and he happens to be of African descent.  He analyzes the two Presidential candidates the best I’ve seen.  The Bible says,

He that is first [that is: first to speak] in his own cause seems just; but his neighbor comes and searches him [or cross-examines him].”

(Proverbs 18:17)

Donald Trump has been made to look like the egotist he’s often been because of his bad statement about women.  He deserves it.  However, when you cross-examine Hillary Clinton, she comes out to be the much worse of the two bad candidates.  I urge you to consider Thomas Sowell’s analysis of the two candidates.  He states:

“Donald Trump’s gutter talk about women shows yet again that he is bad news. The problem is that Hillary Clinton is far worse. [emphasis mine] Trump’s talk is indefensible. But Hillary Clinton’s actions as Secretary of State, carrying out the Obama administration’s foreign policies, have cost many lives in many places, including the American ambassador and others killed in Benghazi. Women have a right to be offended by Trump’s words. But women have suffered a far worse fate from Secretary Clinton’s and President Obama’s actions. Pulling American troops out of Iraq, despite military advice to the contrary, led to the sudden rise of ISIS and their seizing of many women and young girls as sex slaves… Continue reading
