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

Joshua called together the leaders of Israel and challenged them to finish the work of establishing the Jews in the Promised Land.  He admonished them,

choose-whom-you-will-serve1“…choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served…or the gods of the Amorites…but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.”

(Joshua 24:15)

The nations around them worshipped (through their idols, Psalm 106:37) a god—satan—which produced a dictator for their civil government.  God, our true Creator, had given to the Jews, through Moses, a government where the people chose their rulers through elections.  The first form of government enslaved the people to their king, the dictator; God’s form of government enslaved the government servants to the people, the citizens, giving to the people in government only specifically written powers which they could exercise over them (we call that a “Constitution”).  The nations around them had a dictatorship for their form of government; the Jews had a republic for their form of government.  And the Jews experienced, through their republic, more liberty and justice for their citizens than any nation had ever experienced up unto that time.

This is one of the things that makes voting such an important act.  We will always be choosing more enslavement or Continue reading
