CHRISTIANS SHOULD BE INVOLVED...WHO HAS MORE WISDOM THAN KNOWLEDGEABLE CHRISTIANS!

 

I BELIEVE that a government "Of the People, By the People and For the People" is a special privilege given to us by our Creator as Citizens of the United States of America. That precludes that knowledgeable and informed members of our Nation participate to protect and preserve it.   The Constitution, and Bill of Rights are uncommon wisdom and gifts to us.

“This Is a Christian Nation” In 1892, the United States Supreme Court ruled, "This is a Christian Nation." The ruling, issued by Associate Justice David Brewer, has never been legally disputed or overturned.

SIMPLE TRUTH FROM SCRIPTURE ABOUT FOOD

From my early teens, I became a “health nut.” Homeschooled, my education was primarily the Bible. My parents read the Bible three times a day, aloud, with their eight children. It was how we learned to read.

I knew that the Bible emphasized health: spiritual, physical, and emotional. I took it for granted.  "Jesus said to them, I am the bread of life.  He who comes to Me shall never hunger, and he who believes on Me shall never thirst." (John 6:35). The Bible often uses Spiritual and physical truth, one to explain the other.

The Creator’s design for us is for our well being. It’s what the Bible is about. And he created within the natural world natural nutrition.  "Wherefore do you spend money for that which is not bread? and your labor for that which satisfies not? hearken diligently to me, and eat that which is good, and let your soul delight itself in fatness." (Isaiah 55:2)’ “Fatness” here is health.

When His people would not choose well, they hurt themselves.  "He should have fed them also with the finest of the wheat: and with honey out of the rock should I have satisfied you." (Psalm 81:16).  "O Israel, you have destroyed yourself; but in Me is your help." (Hosea 13:9) "He makes peace in your borders and fills you with the finest of the wheat." (Psalm 147:14)

His people went astray and he invited them back to Him using their health and beauty as an incentive: "And you were adorned with gold and silver; and your clothing was of fine linen and silk and embroidered work. You ate fine flour and honey and oil; and you were exceedingly beautiful." (Ezekiel 16:13)

In the store what is labeled “Whole grain, multi grain” may not be what they seem; they may have bleached, white degermed flour for a longer shelf life.  The manufacturer has unchecked leeway to mark things deceptively.  This Link clarifies the differences: https://www.naturespath.com/en-us/blog/difference-whole-grain-whole-wheat/

Things grown, as fruit, vegetables, nuts, natural olive oil, grassfed beef, milk, cheese, and natural honey. (Exodus 3:17). These God fed his people. The best protein is instituted by the feasts and sacrifices described in the Old Testament.  Health again instituted for their spiritual and physical wellbeing. 

Food and Faith? Could this be a key to physical health? My thinking process turned to logic: our Creator has given us food grown from the earth, mined (salt) from deep in the earth, fished from the sea, protein from grazing animals.  For those who pay attention!

As we read through the Bible this time, Eric, my husband and I noticed this amazing rundown for health

"He made him ride on the high places of the earth, so that he might eat the increase of the fields. And He made him suck honey out of the rock, and oil out of the flinty rock, butter from cows, and milk from sheep, with fat of lambs, and rams of the sons of Bashan, and goats, with the fat of kidneys of wheat. And you drank the blood of the grape." Deuteronomy 32:13,14. 

The physical truth morphs into a deep understanding of our loving Creator’s care. "And Jesus answered him, saying, ‘It is written, ‘That man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God.’’" Luke 4:4.

BE BOLD WITH THE TRUTH

 

 I love my country, and it is under threat. Bold moves, defending its history and value is a way to do my part to save her.  

 

The Mayflower arrived in Plymouth Harbor in 1620.  They came from England to worship God according to the way they believed the Bible taught.

 

We digressed by allowing slavery until the Civil War. Admitting the sin of slavery as a Nation and outlawing it was right. Enforcing freedom was implemented by some, disregarded by others.

 

Then more recently Madalyn Murray O'Hair - Founder of American Atheists, exerted power to eliminate the Bible and prayer from our public schools. The Bible was pushed aside.  Prayer eliminated from our children’s lives in the schools.

 

Powerfully motivated forces stepped up to change our basic laws.  They are politicians and wealthy critics of The United States of America.  Our country rose to power by Biblical Law, “Thou shalt not kill.  Thou shalt not commit adultery.  Thou shalt not steal. Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.” The new determined agenda is “anything goes” except for the foundation of our Country, The Ten Commandments from Exodus Chapter Twenty.  These laws are the core of security and fairness for every person. 

 

Will we survive as a Country?  One political party has decided to delete “One Nation Under God” from the Pledge of Allegiance…leaving a blank.  It is a black blank.  A darkness will take its place.

 

Here is a call to people who believe.  We should leave fearfulness behind.  Step up as one and stand strong for the Truth. There are more with us than with them. Elisha the Prophet and his servant faced fearful odds; "when the servant of the man of God was risen early, and gone forth, behold, a host compassed the city both with horses and chariots. And his servant said to him, Alas, my master! how shall we do? And he answered, Fear not: for they that be with us are more than they that be with them."  2 Kings 6:15,16.  Be bold with the truth. It is time to step up.
