To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven. [Eccl. 3:1]  

During the course of our allotted time on this earth, we have to make some important choices and decisions with regards to our lifestyles. Incidentally, our allotted time on this earth could also be considered a “season”, even a description of life itself. The course of that allotted time could be considered as our personal lifestyle on this earth.   

Regardless of how you consider such, the bottom line is this: most of those decisions made will require us to take some type of action. The decisions we make, when dealing with life’s realities, should first involve our thoughts however. Those thoughts, and other factors related to our thoughts, then determine our actions.  

Today however, the average working class American does not put much thought into issues and topics, be they political or religious in scope. For example, have you ever thought about just how much religion and politics control our lifestyles? Have you ever thought about the two sides of politics and religion? Or do you believe there is only one side? 

Have you ever considered how your thoughts, beliefs, and actions affect you as an individual? Have you ever considered that oft times other individuals, family, friends, acquaintances, etc., are also affected by your thoughts and actions, as well as the lack of such?  

Here’s an example of such, with regards to my opening comments. For the past few months I’ve thought about, pondered, and considered an escalating problem in my own personal life – time - more specifically the lack thereof. At first I thought the cliché, “not enough hours in the day” was merely a result of my getting older, slowing down physically. Coupled with that reality of life was my return to the labor force; in other words a return to the work place after “retiring” from fifty plus years of blue collar physical labor.  

Nonetheless, the aforementioned cliché has also become a concern and problem with individuals much younger then me also. From the physical perspective I realized many decades ago there is a “time to be born and a time to die”.  [Eccl. 3:2] I’m still living, residing in the season, the time, between my physical birth and eventual physical death, just as you who are listening to this particular radio program, “The X-Tremes”, and/or presently reading this article. 

Now to broaden the scope; in the book of Ecclesiastes are these words as well; “A time to break down and a time to build.” [Eccl. 3:3] One dictionary I have defines time as “a period during which an action, process, or condition exists or continues.” Here’s some interesting words as well; “O ye hypocrites, you can discern the face of the sky, but you can not discern the signs of the times?” [Math. 16:3] 

An obvious question should be this one; “How does one discern the signs of the times”? There is a “time to break down”; in other words break down an issue or topic. For example, the phrase “not enough hours in the day”; there’s another side to that process however: “a time to build.” In between those two processes/methods is something called attitude, which is determined by an individual’s thoughts, beliefs, and understanding.  

How many individuals have thought about, really pondered these words of Jesus as well; “I have come that they might have life and that they might have it more abundantly”? [John 10:10] Hopefully you have realized Jesus stated, “Might have”, not will have! Here’s an example of the break down method I just mentioned.  

Have you ever heard the expression, “Get a life”? The obvious question should be, “What is life”? Then too, have you ever thought about what happens when our personal season of physical life ends? Does our life cease to exist? Is there another life, other than what we consider physical life? Does time end at the point when physical life ceases to exist? Does another season begin? Those questions could lead to this question: “What is the reason, my purpose, during my season, on a planet called Earth?  

Furthermore, who are the “they” Jesus referred to? Could it possibly mean you and me? Jesus stated, “Might have”, implying that the abundant life has, in all probability, something to do with the decisions that “they” make, or fail to make.

Another example, the Bible states, “Behold now is the day of salvation”. [2nd Cor. 6:2] Decisions are preceded by belief; belief however is preceded by our thought processes. Therefore, some will believe that the day of salvation can be put off until tomorrow. Others have a misperception of what salvation actually is, in what I often refer to as “the real world”.

Many individuals think, believe, and act like the word “salvation” merely applies to “religion”. They fail to realize that salvation also applies to politics as well. To compound that realization, many “Christians” fail to realize that salvation is directly related to the phrase “abundant life” politically and religiously, in the here and now, not just the “sweet bye and bye”.  

Here’s but one example of that statement, one aspect with regards to “abundant life”, in the here and now, politically and religiously. “Congress shall make no law respecting the establishment of religion OR prohibiting the free exercise thereof”. That phrase of the U.S. Constitution’s first amendment is directly related to the abundant life Jesus mentioned. But they – meaning the politicians – specifically the U.S. supreme Court of 1947, began stripping away in earnest, the political and religious reality of  the abundant life contained in that particular phrase of the first amendment.   

You don’t see the premise of “abundant life” within the Constitution’s first amendment? Consider the “BIG” picture first. One dictionary defines abundant as, “more than enough, amply sufficient”. From a realistic, practical, and physical vantage point, America has more than enough Christian denominations; but is America amply sufficient in Christian churches?  

If you do not realize the difference and distinction between a Christian denomination and Christian church, you will not understand the abundant life Jesus referred to, from a realistic and practical perspective; nor will you understand politically or religiously either. Believe it or not folks, there is a distinction between “life” and “abundant life”.  

In between life and abundant life, in my last statement, is a single word, the word “and”. How important is a single word? Consider this; the first phrase of the Constitution’s first amendment has two clauses with regards to religion. The first pertains to its establishment; the second pertains to its exercise. Both clauses pertain to religion, meaning the establishment and the exercise of such religion. But first, what is “religion”? 

Are you aware of, have you realized that those two aforementioned clauses have a single word separating such? That word is “or”. Perhaps you have begun to realize there is “more than enough, an amply sufficient”, an abundant supply of political religion within America. Here’s something else to consider as well.  

The majority of Constitutional, lawful American citizens are not aware that, by definition, everyone is “religious”. Thus the bottom line question, with regards to the big picture for America, is this: “Whose religion will prevail”? If you think and believe that last question is absurd, read the first phrase of the Constitution’s first amendment word by word. Don’t assume that religion merely applies to some Bible beliefs or some church gathering in a building with the same name.  

Consider now one definition of religion; “a cause, principle, or belief held to with faith and ardor.” “O ye hypocrites, you can discern the face of the sky, but you can not discern the signs of the times?” Are you aware that the 1892 U.S. supreme Court, after many years of consideration, decided that America is a Christian nation? Remember the definition of time? “A period during which an action, process, or condition exists or continues.” 

Nonetheless, the 1963 U.S. supreme Court decision, which combined two separate cases regarding prayer and Bible reading in public schools, decided that such prayer and Bible reading were violations of the Constitution’s first amendment’s “establishment clause”. Always, remember folks, one definition of religion is “a cause, principle, or belief held to with faith and ardor.” 

However, that 1963 Court, as well as the present 2008 Court, are just an institution, a thing; therefore it can’t decide anything. But the people that comprised the Court back then, and today, they could and can decide issues. So, what was “their” religion? Why didn’t they, meaning the justices, consider the word “supreme” regarding the 1892 supreme Court decision?   

The last question opens the door to this one. “What about that amendment’s second clause regarding “the free exercise thereof”? Remember that little word OR? So, do you know the purpose and function of a constitution? How about the difference between a country, a nation, and a state within the United States of America? Here’s an easier question; do you know what “no” means, like in “Congress shall make NO law…? How about the real reason for the word “or”, regarding religion, in the first phrase of the aforementioned amendment?  

The word “and” between life and abundant life, the word “or” between establishment or exercise, those two simple, English words are but two of the many precepts and principles, that can be discovered by using the “here a little, there a little” method within a book called the Bible. Here’s a real pertinent question regarding such: Do you think the politicians of today know what the word “no” means, and the purpose of the word “or”? 

That stripping away of the “abundant life”, which Jesus was referring to, began in other areas of the Constitution as well, spiritually and physically, as far back as the1800’s. Recall now, “To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven”. The U.S. Constitution is a specific something that had a specific purpose when it was ratified in 1788. Today that document is still a specific something.  

However, the two-fold question for American society today is this one: “What is the Constitution’s purpose for today and the future?” Are America’s politicians actually concerned about the lawful American society? Folks, you better start asking those questions of everyone, not just the politicians, for time is running out religiously and politically, for America’s society. Here’s but one reason why.  

Not to far back in time there was a concept pushed by the media and many politicians stating, “Morality cannot be legislated”. That concept was a lie then as well as now. Here’s the truth: “It’s not IF morality can be legislated, but rather whose morality will be legislated”. If you believe that concept is still not being pushed today, minus all the hoop-de-la, you are sincerely wrong in your beliefs. America, as a county and a nation, is currently in a season from which there will be no turning back, unless “We the People” begin the process of action.  

The amount of wrong doing, from A to Z by our alleged representatives while in said office as representatives of we the people, is indicative of their mindset of: “Morality cannot be legislated”. The words of John Adams, one of this nation’s founding fathers, could now be considered prophetic. “Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.”  

Those very politicians, that we the people elect to represent us, come from within a society that should be a moral and religious people. Therefore, those politicians are an image, a reflection of America’s society today. If you also believe that morality cannot be legislated, don’t complain about the government of the United States of America, another institution, but rather look into a mirror, and thank the reflection that you see.  

“Be not deceived, God is not mocked; for whatsoever a man sow, that shall he also reap.” [Gal. 6:7] The American citizen’s vote is something that is sown; that vote is a “whatsoever”. How many times have you heard it said, “A vote for so and so is a wasted vote”? Such a statement is usually a reference to a third party candidate, or a long shot such as Ron Paul.  

That third party candidate has moved up a notch to a second party candidate, whereas there has been no distinction for decades between the Republican and Democratic parties. Incidentally, why was Ron Paul a long shot for the Presidency of the United States in 2008? He has morals, ethics, a love for God and country too. Ron Paul is not perfect, but who is or was? Nevertheless he was the best person going until, in my opinion, something or someone(s) got to him.  

Many of America’s citizens, individuals such as Joe McNeil, myself, and Pastor Mike Hoover, one of the many hosts on this network, realize we are living in a season. It is a season, a time, where the United States of America, as envisioned by this nation’s founding fathers is dying a slow, methodical, physical and spiritual death. It is a death cleverly planned and designed by thieves and robbers. The implementation of such plan has been going on for two centuries in this country. It is a plan where the goats are manipulating the sheep of America to the slaughterhouse. Constitutionally, “We the People” are those sheep.  

Journey now back in time to slightly less then 7 years ago. The Democrat and Republican parties put on quite a show for the American public immediately after the events of September 11, 2001. They gathered on the steps of the Capitol building and sang “God Bless America”. Quite a touching moment for them and the American public, wasn’t it. However “the Bible says”: “Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment. [John 7:30] Here’s something else the Bible says: “God hates…hands that shed innocent blood.” [Prov. 6:17] Yet politicians and citizens alike want God to bless America? Folks, get real and get a life – a real life, but then you have to realize THE Truth in its entirety. Legal abortion allows “hands that shed innocent blood.”  

For many decades politicians have been telling the American public what tickles the public’s ears, saying one thing and then doing something else. If you think such is not the case, why hasn’t there been an independent investigation regarding the events of 9-11?  Here’s what I mean by independent; an investigative team from outside the realm, scope, and immediate control of the elitist government.  

But that type of investigation has already been done by some of “We the People”, has it not? Those investigative individuals and teams have been labeled “conspiracy nuts”, among other things. Here’s a question found in the Bible and asked by a politician; “What is truth.” [John 18:38] Our politicians for the last seven years have failed to ask that question regarding the events of 9-11; I wonder why?  

I want you listeners to now consider another type of season. This radio program, “The X-Tremes” was “born”, in a manner of speaking, as a result of many factors. One of those factors, the primary contributing factor “reality wise”, was an individual known as Joe McNeil, the founder, owner, and operator of “The Micro Effect.com”.  

During the past year and a half or so, I’ve made some seemingly absurd and outlandish statements and claims on this radio program; probably upset a bunch of listeners when I did such too. Here is one example; “The trinity doctrine of the organized, institutionalized church is a farce”. Here’s the pathetic part regarding that particular statement; most Americans believe the words “separation of church and state” are found within the U.S. Constitution. 

It gets worse. Do you realize why people believe such? Because someone or something told them so; they believed the lie regarding “separation of church and state”. Don’t believe me. Read the U.S. Constitution for yourself and try to find the words that aren’t there. The Constitution isn’t some big document to read. Nonetheless, people won’t read it; they’ll keep on believing a lie.  

Want to know why most “Christians” believe in the trinity doctrine?  Because something or someone told them so; that something is the Bible, the some one would be a preacher of the Christian “faith”. Unfortunately most of those preachers don’t realize what faith actually is, other then to quote a verse found in the Bible, Hebrews 11:1.  

Go check it out for yourself. Read that Bible verse, whereas reading that Bible verse will be much easier and faster then reading the U.S. Constitution to find a previously mentioned phrase (separation of church and state) that is not contained therein. After you’ve read that Bible verse, here’s a few question’s you can attempt to answer regarding what or who faith is. 

What tense is the word “is”, past, present, or future? What is the substance of things hoped for? What is the evidence of things not seen? Sure, people will state: “The Bible says”, but do we really comprehend what and who is doing the saying? Reality wise, do we, as lawful American citizens, supposedly protected by the Constitution from government abuse and tyranny, really have a “life”, an abundant life, the life which was described by Jesus throughout the Bible?   

Believe it or not folks, that verse, Hebrews 11:1, is a physical description of the “what” of Jesus, as found in the Old Testament. There is a vast difference between who and what. Most Christians realize who Jesus is, but they really haven’t grasped or comprehended what Jesus is, from a realistic, practical, and common sense perspective.   

The preceding statements and questions are ones where individuals place the God who inspired the scriptures [2Tim. 3:16] into their theological and denominational boxes, boxes created and taught by those “Christians” who realistically and Biblically haven’t a clue to WHAT Jesus is.  

Nevertheless, this network’s founder, owner, and also the producer of “The X-Tremes” program, Joe McNeil, presented me an opportunity via this network and particular program (“The X-Tremes”) to disassemble those aforementioned boxes, such as the institutionalized churches’ trinity doctrine. I have to think Joe figured that I might be a little nutty, but not totally crazy. Yet many professing Christians will think and believe that I am a heretic, a cultist, even “preaching” another or false gospel.  

Nonetheless, thanks to the opportunity and the season I was privileged to have on this program, I’ve also acquired some acquaintances and new friends as well, individuals who have realized this Biblical truth; there is only one God – not three, known as the trinity doctrine, as commonly taught, accepted, and believed by most institutional Christian, who are one, two, or three hours a week church-goers. These individuals, as one recently told me, have stepped out of the theological box devised by men, not by the Spirit of God. 

One point I’ve mentioned numerous times on this program, is this: “Christians say they believe the Bible.” I’ve also asked this question as well; “Yes, the Bible says, but do you know what it actually means”? Again an example of that particular question; the Bible says, “Thou believest that there is one God…” [James 1:19] So how come the vast majority of Christians believe in the church’s trinity doctrine of God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit”? I count three God’s in that last question, not one. How about you? [Cf. Ephesians 4:3-6] Incidentally, how many “Gods” are supposed to bless America? 

Here’s another example of “the Bible says”, “There is a time to be born and a time to die”. For practical purposes, the country of America began in the 1600’s. America the nation was born in 1776. IF the Bible is true, perhaps it is the season, the time for the country called America to die? Practically and realistically, is it really the season, the time for this nation to die as well?  

If you’re not sure to believe the Bible’s truth of one God, OR man’s theology of three God’s, and are to lazy to research that difference for yourself, how can you understand the distinction, the differences, the extremes, between a country and a nation? As a friend recently told me, “The words of God are the highway to the Spirit of God.” 

Ladies and gentlemen, the death of a country is preceded first by the death of a nation. I’m persuaded, and convinced by the physical and “spiritual” evidence, that the alleged Christian church of the past century became increasingly concerned with the size of their denominational churches and their own doctrine and dogmas, rather than the collective “soul” of this nation called America.  

Furthermore, because of their concern for their own doctrines and dogmas, this nation’s Declaration of Independence and U.S. Constitution have been collecting dust on the shelves of the 501(c) 3 institutionalized churches of our now corporate government. The land that I love and traveled across, in an eighteen wheeler, is dying, and in more ways than one. Therefore I am persuaded it is time for me to enter into another season within my own personal season.  

Therefore it is with difficulty, sadness, and regret I am announcing my decision to suspend this radio program, beginning tonight Thursday, July 31, 2008, for an undetermined “season”. For the record, I have initiated changes in other areas as well, regarding other projects I have been involved with. A great deal of thought went into my decisions regarding those changes. However, my decision regarding this program was the toughest one to make. 

My gratitude is extended to all the listeners of this network; specifically those who listened to the program entitled “The X-Tremes”. My gratitude is especially and specifically extended to Joe McNeil, his family, and to all the sponsors, advertisers, and the listeners which supported, and continue to support, this network. Remember, without “You the People”, there would be no network called “The Micro Effect” for…… “We the People”.  

There were numerous contributing factors that led to my decision. The primary reason however was the cliché and the reality of, “not enough hours in the day”. I’m quite certain Joe McNeil, and other individuals as well, can relate to the reality of that cliché.  

Here’s one factor why my particular decision was difficult. Over twenty years ago my wife and I had a tape ministry for truck drivers. I had also written articles for a Christian trucking ministry, some of which were published by secular trucking magazines. Most of the issues I dealt with back then, have only gotten worse today. One prediction I made 20 years ago was the direction this country and nation was headed in, politically and religiously.  

Just for the record, “Christians” be it their personal or business lifestyles, should be in the world but not of the world. Yet many of those individuals who claim to be Christian are just as narrow, close minded and bigoted, oft times so much more so, than those who are non-Christians. [Cf. Rom. 12:2]   

But to Joe McNeil the Constitutional phrase “abridging the freedom of speech” went beyond mere words and rhetoric. The Micro Effect was a reality, the real thing, with regards to “freedom of speech”. I oft times stated some “off the wall” stuff on the air. But Joe never censored me or condemned me, on or off the air. Nevertheless there are limitations and exclusions to freedom of speech, something the present day politicians, and President, haven’t the foggiest idea about. 

Here’s another combination factor; when I began “The X-Tremes” on this network I was “retired”, no longer in the labor force of America. However, a number of months after I began this program in 2007, I returned to the working world on a part-time basis, at the urging of my wife and daughter. I was spending far too much time in what I call the cubbyhole, with little or no physical activity or exercise. They were seeing the results of that physical “lack” on me; and so was I. 

Additionally, and quite rapidly, that part time job became a “seasonal” full time job, seasonal in this instance meaning spring, summer, and autumn. It is the only part time job in my life that I’ve worked where I earned overtime. However, I soon realized the physical stamina that I once had as a middle-age individual was fading off into the sunset. The early to rise and late to bed routine, and working outside in the heat, at work and at the home 20, started taking its toll on me physically.  

Here’s yet another part of the combination factor I pondered over. I had begun working on a manuscript for a book in 2003, regarding politics and religion in America. After I “retired” in mid 2006, I spent the vast majority of my time “holed-up” working on completing that manuscript. Little did I realize just how controlling and manipulative the so called “Christian publishing houses” and media outlets were, perhaps more so then even the secular publishers and media are. Therefore, I never finalized that manuscript.  

The chances of my manuscript being published, again something I began work on in 2003, was about as good as pigs flying. As I saw it, completing such was a waste of my effort and time. So, I committed to writing some articles for a couple of web sites. At the same time, I decided that this radio program could be an opportunity to renew that tape ministry using modern day technology. Additionally, I could also use my manuscript and article research as the basis for “The X-Tremes” radio program. It all worked out for awhile. 

Here’s the bottom line of reality folks; I began to run out of hours in the day. I was pushing myself to the extremes of my physical and mental capabilities, time wise. Unwittingly I became spread out too much, i.e. “spread myself too thin.” Therefore, I had to re-evaluate my priorities, previous commitments, and obligations.

In short, I needed to return to my original “calling”, the direction given to me from the Lord many years ago. That “calling”, one of my previous commitments, involved completing the manuscript, as well as resuming my investigative and research writing, regarding politics and religion.   

Perhaps the following might somewhat explain the previously mentioned bottom line and the written word, verses the spoken word. The inspired words of God state: “So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.” [Rom. 10:17] Again, IF the Bible is true, it is very logical, reasonable, and expedient to politically remove as much Bible reading, prayer, and preaching, as physically possible from America’s society. As much that is, as so called Christians will continue to allow, politically and religiously.  

Some may think it foolhardy to support the Micro Effect financially and otherwise. There’s a bottom line however, a bottom line regarding God and country. The difference between “We the People” and “We the Politicians” (aka. “us” and “them”, politically and religiously) was simplistically stated by Jesus. “…he that is not against us is for us.” [Luke 9:50]  

IF what I’ve just stated is true, solely because the Bible says so, then what has happened to the Spirit of Christ? Are you beginning to realize why “…the scorners delight in their scorning, and fools hate knowledge”? [Psalms 14:1] Furthermore if God is love, how can the God hate specific thoughts and actions, as previously mentioned?   

Before I wander off here’s another factor and perspective, regarding my decision to suspend this program. “Well there Bill, if you are such a ‘good’ Christian, why have you decided to suspend the radio program? After all, how can faith come if people will no longer hear you on this network”, could be your thinking. Believe it or not folks, that scenario and the questions, are very reasonable. After all, “the Bible says”, “Faith comes by hearing” does it not? 

Let me address the obvious first, the word “good”. The Bible says, “Why callest thou me good? There is none good but one, that is God.” [Mark 10:18] Now if Jesus objected to being called good, shouldn’t I object too? I’m not a “good” Christian, merely a Christian; but that distinction is where “faith” is misconstrued, and the word itself misapplied, misused, and not comprehended in the “real world”.  

Furthermore, if Jesus was or is God, as the theologians and Christians have assumed, why would Jesus object to being called good? Oh yes, the Bible says: “I and my Father are one.” [John 10:30] That particular statement by Jesus is but one place where assumptions begin regarding a triune God or godhead, a God in three persons, and other variations thereof. What I refer to as “God’s systems” are not even considered and/or totally disregarded, in the particular issue of the trinity doctrine. 

While the Bible says, “So faith comes by hearing… [Rom. 10:17], I’ve come to a deeper realization that “the pen is mightier than the sword”. (Edward Bulwer) Reality wise I had put down my pen, technically my computer keyboard, with regards to the “written word”, and began using the “spoken word” instead, via “The Micro Effect” broadcast network. 

However, during the course of research for some programs, I ran across something interesting to me at the personal level. Thomas Jefferson in 1796, before he became the United States President, sent a letter to Thomas Paine in which Jefferson stated: "Go on doing with your pen what in other times was done with the sword." Those words of Jefferson brought forth a confirmation and further realizations to me, regarding some other statements by this nation’s founding fathers as well.  

When the words of Jefferson are considered from a realistic and practical perspective, the modern day “things” of guns and bullets have replaced swords as weapons. Nevertheless, there is a particular sword that will never be replaced by anything. [Cf. Isaiah 40:8] Here’s how another individual stated such; “…and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.” [Eph. 6:17]  

I’m persuaded that Jefferson was well aware of, as were many more of this nation’s founding fathers, of that particular type of sword described by a new covenant writer named Paul. For instance, Benjamin Franklin stated, “As the Scriptures are given for our reproof, instruction, and warning, may we make a due use of this example before it is too late.”  

There is a common denominator, a common connection, between faith, hearing, pen, and sword. That “commonality” is words.  However, words can be (not will be) grasped easier and more effectively by the average individual using the written word, rather then the spoken word. Why do I state, “not will be”? Consider the definition of reproof, “the blame or censure for a fault,” with regards to Franklin’s statement and the scriptures.  

The written word of James, who was the half brother of Jesus, stated, “Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well…” That is what the Bible says, the book you claim to believe as a “Christian”. How many Bible Gods will you continue to believe in; one, or the assumed three? Rather odd the devils believe in one God [James 2:19] while the vast majority of Christians believe in three “Gods”.   

Incidentally, the spirit of the antichrist figured out what Jesus was a long, long, time ago while the vast majority of today’s modern Christians haven’t a clue to what Jesus is. The spirit of the antichrist, and there are many manifestations of such nowadays, has also realized that for tens of decades, Christians have paid little, if any attention at all, to phrases and specific words.  

Whenever an individual realizes and believes the following, a truth of reality, then “life” should become somewhat clearer and more purposeful. There are lots of hearers of “the Bible says”, but few doers of what the Bible says. [Cf. James 1:22] More specifically and detailed, there are lots of hearers of the word, but few doers of the WORD. Here are some more items folks; unless you want to continue to love simplicity.  

There are lots of hearers and lookers of what “the Bible says”, which are the words of God in written form, but few doers in reality regarding Jesus teachings and lifestyle, who physically was the words of God made flesh. Read it for yourself in John 1:14.  

Have you ever seriously considered exactly what word or words John was referring to in John 1:14? Then too, exactly how did that word become flesh? When you figure that out, then you’ll realize not only who Jesus is, but what Jesus is as well. Here’s a hint to my last questions answer. Check out the first chapter of Luke, verses 26 thru 38.    

 So many professing Christians begin with, “The Bible says.” That beginning statement might have impressed people two hundred years ago, even fifty years ago, but not today. In today’s technical society, this question needs to be added: “Why does the Bible say that, and what does it mean for today’s time and season?”   

The Bible says, or also claims depending upon one’s ideology, the following: “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge…” [Hosea 4:6] The Bible also claims, or the Bible also says, “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge…” [Proverbs 1:7] That specific fear of the Lord can be found in Proverbs 8:13.   

As the 2008 elections draw closer, consider something else as well. If God is love [1^st John 4:8] then why does God hate certain actions? [Cf. Proverbs 6:16-19] Modern day politicians have proud looks; they have lying tongues and have allowed the shedding of innocent blood, in more ways than just abortion, using legislation that usually is unconstitutional.

Furthermore, those politicians have devised wicked things for you to imagine, for instance the 9-11 Commission report, which resulted in such things as “The Patriot Act”. People bear a false witness to the words of God as found in the Scriptures. Here’s an example; “In God We Trust”.  

People, including politicians, also create discord among the lawful citizens of this country AND the nation known as the United States of America. In addition, the elitists and lobbyists scurry around, ultimately at our expense, to and in Congressional offices to create or be part of mischief as well.  

Rather odd that God hates specific things, as previously mentioned, but Christians, and very shortly “We the People” will be fined and/or jailed if we hate the same things as God! I’ve considered a modern day reality of why “the pen is mightier then the sword.” It is far easier to reach people and politicians with written words, using snail mail and e-mail, then the spoken word via a radio program.

10-2-08 FOOD FOR THOUGHT and economic extremes. 

I hope you folks realize that particular 1963 U.S. Supreme court decision, mentioned earlier, turned the once public school system into a political school system; a political, not a governmental or public school system. Consider now that 1963 removal of Bible reading and prayer from the school system, and the deception and manipulation using so called hate law legislative “bills” of recent times.  

Consider this: Education is not knowledge, but knowledge is education.  

Therefore I’d like you to now consider the difference between “You the People” and the U.S. Constitutional phrase “We the People” regarding the season and times that the United States of America has been in since 1963. That was the year the God who inspired the Bible was politically removed from the once public school system, while religious folks did virtually nothing.  

Believe it or not, if one studies and investigates political and religious issues with an open mind, meaning to set aside one’s preconceived thoughts, beliefs and teachings, one could - not necessarily will - realize the difference between “We the People” and “You the People”.  

The Constitutional intent of “We the People” has been consistently perverted for well over one hundred years. The economic bailout or “rescue” solution of September/October 2008 is but one result of a perversion that “constitutionally” occurred in 1913.  “How long ye simple ones will ye love simplicity…”? [Proverbs 1:22]  

America’s problem is not simplicity: for example the phrase on “our” current legal (not lawful”) tender, since the mid 1800’s, “In God We Trust”. The problem is “loving” and remaining simplistic; not looking beyond the nose on our face, or past the words written on paper. For example, “Be not deceived, God is not mocked; for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.” [Gal. 6:7 read verse 8 also] 

The nation of America has not trusted in God for a long, long time. Money had become a “god” to America’s “upper crust”.
