Scripture
“You are the salt of the earth….You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden.”
~Matthew 5:13-14, NIV
Quote
Christians are the “light of the world” but light exposes, and people do not want to be exposed.
~Timothy Keller
You would think that people of integrity would be appreciated but actually they are hated by this world. Paul told Timothy, “All who live godly in this world will be persecuted.” Yet we seem to be shocked when persecution comes. Good people are hated. The better one becomes, the more they will be hated. I remind people constantly, Jesus did not die of old age, He was crucified by people who hated Him and they hated Him because He was good. I know, it doesn’t make sense but few things in this world system make sense. I have a grand son who is a hard worker and he cut his teeth on contract work which goes by productivity. A couple of years ago, he hired on at one of the Utility Companies. They got on to him the first week for working too hard. Everyone on his crew chided him and begged him to slow the pace: they said, “You are making us look bad.” Keller tells about a young man who graduated from the police academy and hired on to a local precinct. He was a man of integrity and he refused to take bribes. He was threatened by the other policemen because all of them took bribes. They said, “You either take bribes like us are we will not watch your back.”
Salt is an irritant and so is light in the presence of evil. John the Baptist got under people’s skins: he irritated them and so did Jesus. Jesus said in Luke 6:26, “Woe to you when all men speak well of you, for their fathers used to treat the false prophets in the same way. The last thing I want to be is a false prophet. Do I want to be hated, despised and rejected? No, not really but am I better than my Savior who was hated, despised and rejected. He bore my shame and reproach, am I so selfish that I can not bear His? Do you want the plain unvarnished truth: this world is in rebellion against Christ and we need a spiritually awakening in America. We have sat around on our lazy backside and let the left politicize everything including sports. Who would have every dreams that Major League Baseball, the NBA and the NFL would become arms of the democratic socialist/communist party? I thought baseball and Dolly had more sense. A BLM logo on the field is politics, pure politics. It has already destroyed the entertainment world and now it is destroying sports. Politics is politics and sports is sports–they don’t mix. Of course there are two standards: one for Republicans and one for democrats. Republicans are not to carry politics into church: that is a violation of Church and State the dems scream but that rule only applies to conservatives. MLK, Bill Clinton, Jesse Jackson, Jeremiah Wright and others have carried politics into the pulpit for decades but of course it wasn’t politics–it was social activism. Yeah, right! Who provided the funds for them to travel; who paid their motel bills, bar tabs and for their prostitutes? You would be shocked to know but I want tell you: find out for yourself and then tell me they were not being political. The democratic party is pure evil and every born again believer had better be praying they don’t get back in the White House.
I will share info about one of the elites behind BLM and other anti-american groups. George Soros is an evil man and the media is not telling the truth. He is a rich Jew who made his money exploiting others. He is promoting anarchy and sexual perversion. He not only founded and sponsors Black Lives Matter; he also founded and supports NAMBLA {North American Man and Boy Love association}. Their slogan is “Sex before eight or it’s too late.” There mascot has this message…the number one cause of pedophilia is attractive children. This is the man that your NFL, NBA and MLB are supporting. Makes its hard on conscience to watch knowing who is behind BLM. He is also the founder and sponsor of ANTIFA, supposedly an anti-fascist movement but it looks a lot like fascism itself. It is a violent hate group just like BLM. They burn, loot, harass and destroy. I tried to upload some pictures of the violence that comes from these two groups but I was unsuccessful. Go to google images and type in BLM or ANTIFA and you can see them for yourself.
