From Now On

It has been three years since I posted a blog and it is time to get back to it. Most of my blogs were politically oriented, and that's not a bad thing, however, for awhile, anyway, I'm going to try and look forward.

The elections of 2016 and 2018 are behind us and most of us are happy with some results and disappointed with others. As they say "you can't win them all." And hopefully "you can't lose them all."

Now what's for the future? Well, let's get a little spiritual. No, not necessarily preachy but at least understanding who our Savior is and why (not just in this season) this fact ultimately matters.

The obvious reason for our acceptance of Christ Jesus as Lord and Savior is our reservation in Heaven. Having secured that what happens "From Now On?"

From a practical stand point we must be conveyors of the truth of Scriptures. Why is this so important you might ask, I'm saved? The simple answer is when there is a void of truth the void does not remain empty. Lies fill that void and begin to grow. As they grow they pollute our society and cause those intent on evil to have a fertile ground in which to grow. Now one of the problems we face as spiritual beings is our desire to be separate from our very evil and nasty society (ex: Hollywood) and withdraw into our cocoon of like minded beings. The problem, is the problem won't go away and the "dark" ground will become more fertile; re-inter Hollywood, with its diabolical partners, the internet, television, university campuses, print news and liberal churches. All of these entities will, at every turn, distort the truth, repackage it and feed it, sugar coated, to our children and vulnerable adults.

So what's the answer? Simple "From Now On" speak the truth in love, allow nothing questionable into our lives, and at every opportunity demonstrate with our lives and speech the truth of God's love and His directions.

This has been a happy Christmas season for me and I wish the same for you.
