How to Ensure against a Reprobate Mind

Image
Reprobate - 2.  Theological. lost in sin; rejected by God -- 1. to disapprove of strongly; condemn 2. to reject or abandon 1. depraved; corrupt I believe there are many who agree with me that society has gone insane. The inability to reason and make sense, is hard to find. I think the article below goes a long way in answering that question. Remember, 2 Corinthians 13:5 Examine yourselves, to see whether you are in the faith. Test yourselves. Or do you not realize this about yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you? - unless indeed you fail to meet the test! If we are Christians, we align ourselves with the biblical s tandards. If we are not Christians, we align ourselves with human standards. Romans Chapter 1 verses 18-32 contains a comprehensive list of things we should not be aligning with as Christians. With that being said, as Christians, we are fallen creatures saved by grace, a work in progress. We need to keep striving towards the mark and put off the...

The Great Identity Theft

Image
Have you ever been a victim of identity theft?  It's pretty unsettling and can be completely catastrophic depending on the level of intrusion.  Mild hijacking of identities and hacking of accounts can often be resolved quickly and with minimal pain.  However, even mild issues introduce a certain level of paranoia.  And even a small loss of finances is unacceptable.  It is after all the victims money, not the thief's. Invasive identity theft is horrible.  Accounts have to be closed and reopened, direct deposits and drafts have to be redone.  Credit is ruined and the victim has to prove they were a victim!  Not to mention the horrible stress, depression and worry in anticipation of it happening multiple times during ones life. There has been a huge identity theft across the globe.  It is the theft of sexual identities.  The theft often begins in childhood, when innocence is destroyed by a vile predator.  Many time...

A Cautionary Tale of the Imploding Democratic Party

Image
The sun is setting on the U.S. Democratic Party and while we as conservatives celebrate it's demise and welcome those from the #walkaway movement we need to properly analyze it's demise, lest we follow in it's footsteps. Most conservatives hold to a biblical viewpoint.  We believe in the right to life of the unborn, that marriage should be between a man and a woman, that government should be small and dreams big.  And at one time Democrats held a lot of those viewpoints, but that was a very long time ago. I'm sure many Democrats are scratching their heads and saying why are all you liberals walking away from us?  We gave you the right to murder the unborn, we birthed feminism and got all you women out of the house.  We got you, the LGBT community, out of the closet.  We're on the verge of getting rid of the U.S. borders.  We don't think Muslims want Sharia Law in America and if they do so what!  We don't think Islam is a hotbed of Terrorism ...

4th of July 2018  The Great American Divide          I am thankful to God today for allowing our nation to mark one more year in our history. As we begin the next year, I wonder where honor has gone? Democrat leadership seems bent on the destruction of our country and Republican leaderships seems bent on allowing that destruction. Our President is maligned, accused, insulted and threatened day in and day out along with his family, his administration and anyone who voted for him. I was not born a Republican, I was born an American. I have many bloodlines flowing through my veins, but I am not a Scottish, Welsh, Irish, English American - I am an American.   I weep almost daily over the state of this country. I weep over the murder of the unborn and wonder how those who claim Christ continually vote for those who promote that murder even to the point of birth. I am astounded at the cruelty they vote into office. I weep over the LGBT...

I have been absent from my blog for quite some time.  Much has happened.  Last July while vacationing with our family in Gulf Shores, Alabama the thought occurred to me, why are we living in the suburbia of Houston, Texas? We have vacationed along the section of the Gulf Coast referred to as the Emerald Coast for over 30 years.  I have actually never visited the public beaches of the area.  David and I were sitting at the Hangout overlooking the Gulf Shores public beach.  I thought, "Wow, the public beaches are just as beautiful as the private beaches."  A silly thought I know, since they are all the same beaches.  On the way back to Texas I asked my husband, a native Texan, how he would feel about moving to Gulf Shores.  Shockingly, he said, "I'm up for that!"  We discussed it all the way home.  We already had a trip to Aruba planned for October to celebrate my 60th birthday followed by the holiday season.  We decided we would ...

The Case for the Reprobate Mind

Image
    Everywhere I look, I see madness, mayhem and violence.  The minds of a vast portion of humanity seems to be frozen, with icy jagged edges unable to reason.  Jesus told us that when He returned, the earth would be filled with these things.  Matthew 24:37 But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.  Genesis 6:5 And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.  We are given a description of the reprobate mind in Romans 1:29-32.  I am listing the markers of a reprobate mind below.  The list starts off with the statement "Being filled with all . . . unrighteousness fornication wickedness covetousness maliciousness full of envy murder debate deceit malignity whisperers backbiters haters of God despiteful proud boasters inventors of evil things disobedien...

Why Donald Trump - The U.S.A. election results.

Image
The free world seems stunned by Donald Trumps big win here in the U.S.A.  If you are one of the "stunned ones,"  perhaps you have been following all the rhetoric concerning our new President-elect, Donald Trump. I'm just a regular person, probably a lot like you.  I'll give you my take on this election and maybe you'll understand a little better how this enigma occurred. Americans come from everywhere.  Some of us can trace our families entrance to this great land back before it was a nation.  Most people arrived on these shores with the hope of having a new start. Our amazing government and freedoms to rise as high as any individual would wish to rise was birthed from those desires and hopes for freedom. Like any government over the centuries, our government has become corrupt.  Run by narcissist, interested only in what they can get for themselves.  However, we the people, don't see them as our rulers but as our servants.  By and ...
