No Work --- No Eat.

Hello Dear Friends and other Readers !

"Iron sharpenth iron,  so a man sharpenth the contenance of his friend>"   ---Proverbs 27: 17.   That means:  If two good, smart people hang around together as friends,  one will help the other, and sharpen him up.   But if you hang around a goof ball, or someone stupid, mean and prideful,  you are very likely to fall into the same snake pit together, filled with King Cobras....   Pick your so-called  "friends" well  !!   Personally,  I would never call anyone a true friend unless he was a real, bible loving  Christian, who would be willing to lay down his very life for me.... and visa versa !  

"Hell and destruction are never fall,  so the eyes of men are never satisfied."   ---Proverbs 27: 20.   

I well know my faults, and even ask, beg, and plead for my real friends to TELL ME IF AND WHEN I FALL SHORT and mess  up....  so I can correct myself.  But the H.S. [Holy Spirit] also pricks my conscience to make me aware of stuff I need to address and work on.   
     Now,  much of my mind and heart are shaped by what the Bible says, and tells me,   and really guys and gals,  the Bible is not hard to read and understand AT ALL !   Actually the words just jump out and bite me !!!   Let us look at what the apostle Paul wrote to the congregation of Christians at Thessalonica .... at   2nd Thessalonians 3: 10,    {Not:  "Two" Thessalonians 3: 10.... LOL},    "For even when we were with you,  this we commanded you,  that if  any would not work,  neither  should he eat."    Awwwww,, does this sound cruel ???  Remember,  this is the perfect, pure,  Word of God, and even the apostle Paul was a tent maker in his spare time !!   He wanted to set a good example,  but God seems to take care of those who do His mighty preaching work.   God has always taken care of me,  even when He  needed to humble me a few times by making me homeless for a short duration of time, so I would "see the light..."   I am also thinking that it was GOD who 'removed me from a super stressful situation a few months ago,'  even though it almost broke my back....and my heart,  and surely my ego.    And please,  let me tell you a secret, friends,   I needed to also find out who my REAL friends were, and who the FAKES in a certain church were, also....  duh.    Boy,  do I have some stories to tell you all....  maybe some day...  lol.    
       Now, the ancient Hebrew nation had a form of special provisions for poor people to stay fed,  but they had to WORK for their food and physically gather it with their own two hands in the fields AFTER the farmers made their harvest.   The farmers and workers were commanded NOT to reap and harvest a 2nd time to take every last grain from the harvest field,  but to leave the ragged edge alone so that the poor could come and pick it for themselves.   Wheat, barley, corn, etc. fruit.  You see,  Jehovah God was, and is, a happy, smiling, generous GOD !!    And even Jesus said, that there will always be the poor.  Sure,  something could happen even to those who save and work hard, like a broken leg or a plow animal that died,  but God made provision for that possibility,  and also put many safe guards in His many laws and statutes.   Just read them at Exodus chapter 20 !   See, I even put down the place to do your research, right off the cuff.    I read and study the bible,  and by the Grace of God,  it sticks in my tiny mind..... PTL !   God still uses me,  even though I don't always set the more pure, fine, example.    I am still a lonely old man, a DISABLED Vietnam Veteran:  68-70, with many battle scars and wounds from many work related accidents, truck and motorcycle mishaps.....  Ouch !   But I worked very hard all my life, and learned many skills.    By all human accounts and medical experts,  I should be dead to the tenth power !!   But I can't brag.... or God will surely humble me in a heart beat.... and yes,  I am afraid to offend God or tempt Him.    But I firmly believe that everything will 'shake out' and vindicate me in the long run,  if I keep my nose clean and do God's Will.   And just what is God's Will for Tommy Schuckman?   I need to keep myself clean, buy a few more new KJV Bibles, soon,  and continue to SHARE  THE   GOSPEL  !    Smart, better educated people KNOW for a fact,  that America simply cannot continue in the Welfare give away course that we have sunk so deeply in,  much longer,   where those to carry the load and WORK,  are dwarfed by those to take and eat for free  ! !   The major trouble is that those so-called "Poor People" could work if they wanted !   But now America has a 4th and 5th Generation  Welfare Class of people who don't know any better....  don't have any education or skills to work for a living, and don't give a dang if they ever do  ! !  What's worse, the Liberal politicians are their Pimps and keep them that way !   In other words,  such people are not dumb,  stupid, injured, disabled....  they are just plain LAZY !!   Many black leaders use those unwashed masses of "poor people" to get certain pimp congressmen re-elected to keep the system going, lay a heavier burden on the working class which is over taxed already,  and I tell you that something has got to give !   
       And people like me also have a hard time understanding how other nations with a GOOD WORK ETHIC like Germany have allowed the Islamic hordes  to invade them and not only wreck their economies,  but rape their women !!   My bet is that the Germans,  at least, will "do something about that situation,"  and soon.    Ask me privately,  and I will tell you my mind on that subject.... LOL.   

I now live in a huge house that I call 'my barn'  but I am so thankful and grateful to a close friend named, Timmy,  who told me that "God told him to help me,"  so now we help each other and we are both happy with the deal,  as I am renting from him.   PTL --- Praise the Lord !   Hey,  I know how to be generous and grateful,  just like my Lord and Savior,  Jesus Christ.    And I enjoy helping my true, real friends.   But I make deals with them too.  Like you do this for me, and I will help you with that...  etc.   Just like,  I havc a sweet Christian friend named, Annie,  who comes over to help clean my barn,  and I like to help her  with some things too, if I can.  She is the one who led me to a Spirit-filled church where they treat me like a HUMAN BEING, and like me for whom and what I am,  a Christian man !!   So,  I like Annie, and she has a boyfriend,  but she is my friend.    Just like:   I own a new truck, and I can help some folks get around and take them shopping, etc.  See how that all works ?  Or take them to church on Sundays. 

Now,  I just need to remind my readers that it's not too late to start investing in "Metals".... and silver, gold, platinum and copper, are still dirt cheap right now...  but they won't be that way for too much longer !   The 'sign' o f the company that you want to trust is:   MMX.   Money Metals Exchange.  800-800-1865.   I think that silver is about,  $15.86 today !   But as you all know, all commodities, etc., fluctuate up and down every day on the market...    I don't have near as much as I need or want, and I don't store them with me.   I still have a few trustworthy friends,  But I warn you all....  never, ever, store your "Metals" or anything really valuable in a bank or Credit Union,  because the Gov't CAN AND WILL TAKE THEM,  LEGALLY right after the SHTF !   I kid you not !   The laws are already on the books even when Mr. Bush was in office, and even worse now with obama !!!   The Interest on our National Debt is eating us alive  !  !@#%%^&*     Just find a very secure, secret place in your own house and TELL NO ONE, ever !!   If your wife doesn't really love and honor you,  don't tell her either !!   I well know what I am talking about, brothers.   Silver is a good bet right now.   Pretty soon gold will be too high to buy, even for the rich. 

But the greatest safety net and assurance we can have is a good, close relationship with Jesus Christ.   Because brothers and sisters,  we are all going to die some day, and the local papers and news are full of fatal accidents every day, even in the great, cold U.P. of Northern Michigan.   I don't even know if I will wake up in the morning,  and that's  one more reason that I enjoy posting on my humble blog.    I would like to leave behind some simple legacy,  and those few people in the world who have come to know me,  might take a few good things away from some of my articles.
      In retrospect,   I have erred and said the wrong things a few times and hurt some folks,  and so I have either pulled and banished those posts that I reconsidered to be inappropriate and too sharp....   sorry.   I also don't post too much on Face Book anymore, for a multitude of reasons.   "Big Brother..."   

Well,  I think that I will sleep well tonight, after getting a lot done today, and helping some friends.   I am also growing a beard, again,  because my dry shaving cuts up my handsome face too much....   duh.   And I will never find another nice woman again looking too ugly... Ha!   

But here is a goofy true story...  the VA people from Milwaukee were supposed to delivered and install a new LIFT for my power scooter in the bed of my new truck today, and they drove a few hundred miles before they found out that they had the WRONG JIB CRANE LIFT !!   So they phoned me and told me about the mess up after i was waiting half the day, and we rescheduled for later in the week.   But that's the dang Gov't for you...  duh!   Hey,  you like "Murphy's Law ??"    The Gov't helps SOME of their disabled Veterans,  but certainly not all the ones who really deserve the help and action.   For I have heard and seen so many miscarriages of justice and just plain B.S.   But all that just goes to show you that human politics, and laws, enforcement,  and Gov't can only go so far.   Just LOOK what happened to our Republic !!  We are now in a tail spin, drowning in deep debt  $$$$, and there is NO way that we can ever get out of it, no matter who gets elected !   Sorry to burst your bubble.
      I would rather vote for the man who will try to guarantee my rights by preserving the U.S. Constitution !!   If we ever lose our 2nd Amendment,  the rest of them will all cave in really fast,  guys !   That is the only thing that is still holding our Republic together,  at least for a little time.
   Now,  too many people say that they just don't want to hear all this gloomy news, even if they are facts.   They would rather like in a FAKE, plastic, make believe world of illusions, and escape with drugs and booze.   I ask why ??   Yes the news is bad and hopeless.....  but God has promised to remove all the sin and corruption, sadness and violence !!  When?    SOON !   But we are not going to know the exact day, and for good reason.   But the end will come soon.  That gives us great joy and happiness.    So in the mean time, we just don't sit around watching TV and drink a lot of beer.   We study, read and learn the Gospel, and share it with everyone we can.   Hey...  that is not a request.   It's a command !   
    Are  you too lazy, or "BUSY" to do this for the Lord ?    Shame on you.    You are like the ones mentioned below.

Warm Regards,
Tommy Schuckman

I LOVE well trained Rottweiler dogs !!  Here is one of mine,  "Deuce."  he was smarter than many humans I know.....  LOL.

READ  S-L-O-W-L-Y I have never heard this said as simply or as well. The folks who are getting the free stuff   don't like  The folks who are paying for the free stuff, because  The folks who are paying for the  free stuff    can no longer  Afford to pay for both the   free stuff  and their own stuff. And the folks who are paying for the free stuff      Want the   free stuff to stop. And the folks who are getting the  free stuff    want even more    Free stuff  on top of the  free stuff    they are already getting! Now... The people who are forcing the people who pay  For the free stuff  have told the people who are RECEIVING  The free stuff  that the people who are PAYING for the  Free stuff  are being mean, prejudiced, and racist. So... The people who are GETTING the  free stuff  have been convinced they need to hate the people who are paying for the Free stuff  by the people who are forcing some people to pay for their free stuff  and giving them the free stuff in the first place. We have let the free stuff  giving go on for so long that there are now more people getting  free stuff  than paying for the   Free stuff . Now understand this. All great democracies have committed financial suicide somewhere between 200  and 250  years after being founded. The reason? The voters figured out they could vote themselves money  >From the treasury by electing people who promised to give  Them money from the treasury in exchange for electing them. The United States officially became a Republic in   1776    ,  238    years ago. The number of people now getting free stuff     outnumbers the people paying for the free stuff    . Failure to change that spells the end of the United States  As we know it. ELECTION 2016 IS COMING A Nation of Sheep Breeds a Government of Wolves! I'M 100%  for PASSING  THIS ON !!! For all our sake PLEASE  Take a Stand!!! Borders: Closed! Language: English only Culture: God, Constitution, and the Bill of Rights! Drug Free: Mandatory Drug Screening before Welfare! NO  freebies to: Non-Citizens! Only   86%  will send this on. Should be  100%

Hi Friends,
  People ought to know...  that it is not a SIN to fail at things,  but it]s  nice to have a firm foundation, and if we were blessed by having good, smart, Christian parents ---that's a plus !!   But the Bible, Gospel of Salvation is here for ALL people on earth !!   I think, however, the main thing that prevents most people from gaining that "Free Salvation" thru the merits of Jesus' ransom blood sacrifice is PRIDE.   Of all the 'Cardinal Sins' in the book,  Pride is one of the MOST DANGEROUS !   Here is why I think so....  Number One:  Everybody is born into sin, and into a sinful world, so we can never be perfect on this earth,  yet we have our "Prime Example,  Jesus" to show us the way, and when we get to heaven we will BE perfect.   But we at least need to get smart now,  by  personal  STUDY  [Yes!   I said PERSONAL STUDY].   The reason?   Because you can stand or sit in some church forever,  but that in itself will never make you a follower of Jesus.... in other terms, a Christian !!   Just like standing in a garage won't make you an auto mechanic, or a car !    And I  know that some folks must be getting very tired of hearing this from me,  but it's true.   FACT:   The church you might be attending and giving your hard earned cash money,  may NOT be teaching you all the truth of the KJV Bible !   Just as some churches only teach and preach some of the truth.  Like.... did you really know that the ONLY real, scriptural grounds for divorce of a Christian couple is ADULTERY ???   Ha!  For many of you,  this is really  news !    Yet most, so called Christian churches just turn their heads the other way and allow it to happen with those members still being in "Good Standing."   After all,  money is what really matters now days.... 
     When you pick up a book and read it,  you have to think about what those words mean, and how they are linked together,  and what the writer wanted  you to learn.    Now,  if the bible was written on a 5th grade reading level.... and for a reason,  don't you all think that God wanted  you to not only read it,  but to also UNDERSTAND IT ??    What separates us from the monkeys, the goats,   the Muslims, the atheists, Hindu, and Buddhists, is that the bible is a perfect book that helps us live as true brothers, and also holds us apart from the heathen world.    We should not be divorcing our marriage mates for any reason EXCEPT adultery !  And even then,  the innocent spouse does not HAVE TO DIVORCE the offender....  bu t can forgive that mate and accept him or her back.... never to do that deed again!     Yet,  people inside the "Church" are just as bad as those we look down upon others outside in the sinful world !  Can we expect to have God's blessing if we deal with our marriage mate in such a manner, forsake our vows, and disrespect God's rules and laws ???     There will never be a perfect marriage on earth,  sorry.   And no matter how the so-called,  'brothers and sisters' in some 'church' carry on, take sides, and reassure each other how bad one mate was to another, the Word of God still stands !!   Sorry,  I will NOT attend some church that will not honor the Word of God.   And I don't think God will favor someone who has dealt treacherously with his/ or her brother -- mate.   Pride is when a person is AFRAID of what others may think,  or talk,   if she/ he does the right thing,  but people might talk disparagingly of her/  him.....  duh.  Well, who would want to even attend a church where that is even a real concern ??
    As a matter of fact,  we could expect deep depression, sleepless nights and a bad conscience to follow us, also poverty and bad times,   when we embellish the facts, and say the words,  "I am sorry,  but we just cannot ever get back together...  because there is no more love for you in my heart..."    For some, that so-called "love" ran out when the free money did....  lol.   And besides,  it was always a well know fact at Chrysler Corp., in Kenosha, WI Auto Plants,  that "a woman will never leave a man until they take his very last dollar !"   Ha!   But it's true.   And I have heard some wild stories in my time....  after 6000 people were laid off their good jobs at that same auto plant in Wisconsin,  5 years later, many of them were called back, and about half of their marriages busted up because of Financial Stress !!   But the marriages that held together were the good ones based on LOVE, trust, honestly...  but mostly LOVE !    So you see,  there was a real break down of love long before the big, major stress of finance showed itself.   Maybe a person's  family relations didn't turn out they way they wanted, or they felt abandoned or alone, or deprived of some love, etc.

Yes,  indeed,  there is always some underlying circumstance why things don't run smooth,  like "Women's Satanic Lib,"  an ungodly independent spirit and fight for dominance in the family arraignment,  contesting for the headship of a family,  not getting their way,  who is really the boss, or some stupid "POWER PLAY."   Hey!   I didn't write the Book,  but I have read the Book and understand it.   You may say that "now days things are different, and we all have to accept the changing times.." along with abortion, the Gay agenda, living with out marriage, cross dressing, not working for a living and sucking the welfare nipple, etc.   But that is not God's way, and we are seeing the Whole World Collapse now right in front of our eyes.  Sweden is the RAPE CAPITAL OF THE WORLD !!   Christians are being butchered all the time by the hundreds and more~!    And soon, the USA may not even exist,  sorry to be the one telling you this....  WAKE UP !    Our "president" has totally messed up our military!!!    Hey,  when our American dollar is near  worthless, with people rioting and invading your very house for food and goods,  maybe then you will start to believe.   I hope that the Rapture has already come and gone by that time,  and I will not worry one bit.   In the mean time,  it is my duty to sound the alarm and prepare people for what shall surely come,  perhaps this Spring.   So.... if you really want to continue living with your girl friend....   go for it  !

One more month until warmer weather !!  In the mean time,  please don't slip on the ice,  like I did.

Warm Regards and Hugs,
Tommy Schuckman

Commitments, Promises ?

I always get so much from Hal's insights,  and it gives me pause to take a few minutes from my own personal struggle with life in the Winter time, to ponder these more important things, and what God's plan is for all of us.

    No matter what our personal circumstances are,  God has a plan that is in motion, and operation,  RIGHT NOW !!   Where do all of us/ we  fit in that plan?

    Well,   I am about to head into town to finally see the dentist, and ready for what ever he wants to do....  Ha!     i just hate to see the dentist.... and I do keep all of my appointments and brush... as told by him and his medical staff.   Yes!   I am blessed in many ways,  but I "paid" for my medical benefits many times over,  both working for 30.5 years at ONE PLACE, and also serving with distinction.    But now here I am and just wonder what road I will take in the near future.    I never, ever, want to take another "false step" in life....  yet the book of James says, that,  "Life is a vapour."    Poof !     What does the Lord really want for us.... instead of:  what do WE want for ourselves ?    Should we not keep our promises, commitments and vows ???   Oh.... that would be novel.... lol. 

Hugs, and Warm Wishes,

Tommy

Subject: News from Hal Lindsey Media Ministries

February 26th, 2016 This week on 'The Hal Lindsey Report'What is happening right now in the Middle East is unprecedented as far as I'm concerned. Of course, if you just get your news from the American mainstream media, you've no idea to what I'm referring. If it's not promoting the Palestinians or denigrating the Israelis, singing the praises of John Kerry or listing the transgressions of Benjamin Netanyahu, lamenting setbacks to the BDS movement (Boycott, Divest, Sanction Israel) or applauding Iran's return to global acceptance, then it's buried deep in the back pages, if it's mentioned at all. But then, what else is to be expected? These are the times of the end. I'm talking about the stirrings of the powers predicted in Daniel's 11th chapter: the king of the South and the king of the North. But it's not even that vague. It's actually quite impressive and, as I mentioned, unprecedented. Apparently, though, not impressive or unprecedented enough for the American media. I'm referring to "Northern Thunder." That's a cooperative military exercise -- or war games -- now underway in the northern reaches of Saudi Arabia, just below the border with Iraq. What's unprecedented is its size and scope, the number of nations involved, and who those nations are. More than 25 countries, 350,000 soldiers, 20,000 tanks, almost 2,500 fighter aircraft, and more than 450 attack helicopters. All practicing how to coordinate their efforts to stage an attack. What makes this unique is that these are the nations described in Daniel 11 as the coalition led by "the king of the South" in the run-up to Armageddon. And they've never in history joined forces in this manner or on this scale. What makes it even more fascinating is who feels threatened by these war games: the king of the North. This coalition, specified in the Bible as led by Iran and Russia, is today concerned that "Northern Thunder" is either the beginning of an invasion of Syria or preparation for it. As a result, Russia's Prime Minister has warned that the joint exercise by the coalition led by Saudi Arabia and Egypt could lead to another "world war." Folks, I do not believe this is Ezekiel 38, but it may be a dress rehearsal for it. And what makes it even more fascinating is that it actually has almost nothing to do with Israel. The showdown that looms between the "king of the North" and the "king of the South" is being set-up by centuries-old ambitions, fears, and animosities between the two dominant sects of Islam: the Sunnis and the Shi'ites. But WHY it's happening is not as important as the sheer fact that it IS happening -- this week -- as predicted by the ancient Bible prophets thousands of years ago. That's why the opening line of "The Hal Lindsey Report" each week is "Yesterday's prophecies. Today's headlines." These are the end times springing to life in our headlines and on our TV sets. It's time to get ready to leave this old world when Jesus returns for His true followers. But that's not all I will be discussing on this week's program. The recent abrupt death of Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia focuses attention on the looming fight for the rule of law upon which the United States of America is founded. What is at stake -- literally -- is whether the U.S. Constitution with all of its guarantees and protections will continue to be our firm foundation. Or will it become, as the Left in America wants, simply a rulebook that can be amended at the whim of any judge to reflect the prevailing mood of those currently in charge? I am not overstating this when I say that the selection of the next Supreme Court Justice may well determine how quickly America will fall from "a city shining on a hill" to the dystopian society foreshadowed in "1984." Once again, the echoes of the predictions of the ancient Bible prophets are ringing in the halls of our nation's houses of government. But you didn't hear that from the mainstream media! Finally, when Pope Francis seemed to insert himself into the American presidential free-for-all, he probably invited an unwelcome examination of his own powerful political influences. And the results of the scrutiny are not flattering. Especially for the "Vicar of Christ." His particular blending of political ideology with theological misinterpretation (or misunderstanding?) makes for a dangerous brew. Especially in these last days of the Age of Grace. As we have learned since her death, even the rightly much-loved and revered Mother Teresa struggled her entire life with the conflict between works and grace. And it is an incredibly important conflict that must be resolved in each believer's life. In fact, it will literally determine your eternal destiny.

Have You Read the Gospel Yet ?

Good Day, Friends,

     I regret that I sometimes slip up and post things that are too personal,  that reach into my private, personal life.   I have feelings too and have gone thru some very rough times even lately,  and I am sure that some of it spills onto my posts....  perhaps bitter feelings of  deep emotional hurt,  that I want to share --- get it off my chest,  but these things are perhaps better left UN-SAID,  kept out of this public blog/ journal.   I am sincerely sorry if I hurt anyone with my words.  But also bare in mind that I may not even be referring to certain people who MIGHT THINK I am aiming at them...  but the very subject matter that I talk about frequently could be something that is close to your own heart or sensibilities.   Please give me the benefit of the doubt, instead of building a case against me.  And,  dumb old sinner that I am....  I make mistakes all the time,  every day of my life.  Sorry about that.   And isn't it a wonder that Father God still loves me ??   Terri,   I am sorry if I hurt your feelings and said something that hurt you, and will try harder not to let that happen again, sweet heart.  Won't we all be happy when the Rapture comes and takes us all away, to a nice, safe place....    God bless all Believers !   

    Talk about something DEEP INSIDE, the very core of someone's personality,  the TRUTH, is what I want to address today, if possible.   First of all,  we are ALL SINNERS.   Just reading the powerful book of Romans will clear that matter up really fast.   'for all have sinned and fallen short of perfection...'   And to some extent we all lie.   But to lie about something important and BIG,  that is where people get into trouble.   Telling a lie can get someone killed or put away in prison !   Now...  there are ways to get at the truth,  but do we want to hang around people we cannot even trust some of the time ??   Personally,  I would rather put up with a whole host of other personality flaws than be around a dang LIAR !!   Like I say,  a liar can and will get you into trouble.   Even lying about the structure, ability, strength of a product,  like a tool, car, truck, can be deadly,  for instance, if a car is made with a gas tank wrongly mounted too far in the back....  might blow up and kill the driver if that car ever gets 'rear-ended' in an accident.   And so,  those who claim that the vehicle is "safe" are not telling the entire truth !!   But who goes to jail ?   No body !   
    The same thing but to a lesser degree is,   when a friend asks you for some money for fuel/ gasoline,  but other wise spends the money on something else later,  weather pre-meditated or not  is dishonest, too !!   If they decide to spend the money on food, pets, smokes, drugs or booze,  it's a LIE !!   What ever their reasoning,  it's still a lie.   

"Am I therefore become your enemy,  because I tell you the truth ?" --- Galatians 4: 16.   

    And so we end up visiting the old term:   Priorities,  again, and again.    PRIORITIES !   If 2 different men work at the same place,  and earn the same amount of money,  but one of them saves and invests about 20% in a smart place investment,  but the other just drinks his paycheck up at the corner tavern every night,  who is to blame when there is an emergency ???    If the one neighbor buys a truck and gets his family out of Dodge right before the flood comes and into a place of higher ground and safety,  who is to blame for the drunk whose family got "Left Behind ??"    

Sorry,  Folks,  but I just don't believe in LUCK !   Smart, wise people "make their Luck."   With the right foundation,  that is to say,  the Bible, that teaches us right and wrong,  also all about Jesus Christ, His life and death for all of us to know,   and follow.   

So,  here are 2 simple questions:   Do you have a copy of the Bible ?   Have you read the Gospel and the book of Romans too  yet ??

Warm Regards,
Tommy

The Daily Jot  Daily reporting and analysis of current events from a biblical and prophetic perspective.   NOTE: When writing about God and Jesus, The Daily Jot means YHVH as God and Yeshua Ha Mashiach as Jesus--the actual original names and the true nature and character of them.     Wednesday, February 24, 2016 To Christians trying to find their election footing Donald Trump's victories have left many Christians trying to determine how or if they are going to vote. Many do not like what is considered Trump's abrasive personality, others are questioning his commitment to Christianity. In fact, many of the same back and forth reasonings are taking place about this election as in the past. Keep in mind that one of the primary reasons we have had two terms of an Islamist Marxist as "president" is due to Christians sitting out the election. Over-spiritualizing this election can multiply the results of the past 10 years. Sitting on the sidelines and allowing another "progressive" to hold the oval office will have dire consequences. Forthcoming, is a hard word for your consideration. Some blame the choice of candidates for not wanting to vote. Frankly, Christians have been disengaged in the candidate selection process since the Reagan years, when we were very active locally in choosing good candidates. Instead of seeking self-improvement inside the four walls of the church, another route may be to engage outside the church in our communities. This may result in having a say in the type of candidate who runs for office. Notwithstanding, people may be wising up to how candidates woo Christians at election time with nice "Christianese" words, hoping upon hope that citizens will overlook their ineptness in office. In the past it has worked. Maybe not this time. Politico writes of the Nevada caucuses, "For the first time in the 2016 primary season, media entrance polls showed that a majority of voters, 57 percent of Nevada caucus-goers, said they were "angry" with the federal government. And, as significantly, they want to bring in an outsider to fix it. More than three in five caucus-goers said they favor someone from outside the political establishment rather than a candidate with political experience as president." Let us remember that God uses whom he uses. Cyrus, for example, was open to God's plan and was able to get things done that God's own people were unable to do. That's not to say that its OK to choose evil over good when we have the choice. But we do have a choice and as Christians we should exercise that choice wisely. I know this is a hard word, I'm just the messenger. Candidates who have spent their lives in politics, holding elective office, are part of the problem. In reality, there has been no EFFECTIVE opposition by any of the office-holding candidates to the things that matter most to Christians. Lip service, yes. Effective action, no. So now, when they want your vote, they come by with all sorts of evangelical words designed to con your vote. Candidates say, for example, they stood in the gap for God's plan of traditional marriage when, in reality, they did nothing effective. They are not leadership quality if they couldn't step out and truly stand on their convictions, but want to make you think they did. Jesus said in Matthew 7:16, "Ye shall know them by their fruits." Don't go by what they say. Look at what they've done, or just as importantly, haven't done. Have a Blessed and Powerful Day! Bill Wilson www.dailyjot.com PS.

Hello Friends,
What a beautiful day, with fog and light snow !  
     Not only did I hurt my back....  pulled a muscle in my lower back.  And then  latter misstep-ed  and fell  down out side and skinned my poor little hands and knees.    The main reason I am telling you all about this is because the bible tells us that " Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their labor.  For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow....."    ----Ecclesiastes 4: 9 and 10.   And it just so happened that 2 strong gentlemen helped me get back up on my feet.    I thanked them more than once.   

Some folks tell me to just live alone, enjoy my retirement years and have fun.   But from all my studies in the Bible and other books,   'Man was not meant to live alone.'    Just read Genesis Chapters, 1,2,3, etc.     Genesis, Chapter 2, verse 18,  says:   "And the Lord God said,   it is not good that the man should be alone,  I will make him an help meet for him."    [now... down at the bottom in footnotes in my nice Bible, it has some help here for us:  help means:  a helper.  And Meet, means a suitable, proper, fitting.]   Visit:   biblefortoday.org    [to get the DEFINED KJV Bible  !   What a great tool that helps you learn the bible better !!]      And I am sure that this rubs many women and feminists the wrong way ! !     Now,  either we take the WHOLE, ENTIRE WORD OF GOD TO BE FAITHFUL AND TRUE...  or not !!   Friends,  you can't have it both ways!   Satan wants to put huge blocks in the way of good, successful, marriages, and break them up !   

I can tell you all one thing for sure....  if the Bible says that the ONLY grounds for divorce is ADULTERY,  that is exactly what it means,  no matter who much some people try to twist, turn, squeeze, manipulate, truncate  it !   Oh,  I know how many woman [and men] love to embellish the facts, just like the movies of soap operas,  to gain sympathy from their friends,  and many 'churches' now days just go along with:   "Anything Goes,"  now days.   But the Bible fact remains.     If this subject matter offends or 'stings' some people's delicate ways or notions,  sorry.   More often than not,   many divorces now days are just an expedient  method of getting rid of an "inconvenience,"  that is to say,  the Bible !    Jeremiah said that the "heart is treacherous .....  who can know it."   
     Yes,  feelings are involved, and the hurt is great.   And no matter how many times a man makes the same mistake,  it still hurts, plus all the misused funds, cash,  $$$, gifts and broken promises.    Romans 12: 19, says,   "Vengeance is mine,  I will repay, saith the Lord."     If I am really the Christian that I say I am,  The Lord will take care of everything.   
    But,  I may be shifting my sails to travel in a Southern fashion, and may be looking for other hunting and fishing spots soon.   Time to pray again for guidance and  direction.    IMHO,  there is not much holding me up here any longer....  except that I am paying down my debt faster with low over head right now, pumping iron,  getting back into shape.... slowly and resting up.   

And please, also pray for my friend,  Annie,  who just had knee surgery  today,  and now on the mend.   ]

Warm Regards, and Bear Hugs,
Tommy

The Daily Jot  Daily reporting and analysis of current events from a biblical and prophetic perspective.     NOTE: When writing about God and Jesus, The Daily Jot means YHVH as God and Yeshua Ha Mashiach as Jesus--the actual original names and the true nature and character of them.     Monday, February 22, 2016 A time for indictment In May 2013, the left-leaning Washington Post published the details of the Benghazi cover up by Hillary Clinton and the White House. Information provided by US Diplomat Gregory Hicks, who on that night was dealing with the attack 600 miles away in Tripoli, indicated that the several military options available were purposely told to stand down by Hillary Clinton's State Department and the Pentagon. The Democratic leadership tried to say that a Republican-led inquiry was politically motivated. The White House touted the credentials of the men charged with conducting the State Department Investigation of Benghazi--as if the government investigating itself was remotely credible. As we know, it wasn't. Then White House Press Secretary Jay Carney was ducking and dodging reporters questions by saying, "There was an accountability review board led by two men of unimpeachable expertise and credibility who oversaw a process that was rigorous and unsparing, that was highly critical in some areas and that produced a series of recommendations that have all been acted on by the State Department as the president insisted be the case." But Hicks criticized the review saying that it let people "off the hook." Aside from the current email controversy, Clinton and others appeared to be lying about Benghazi. There were several different stories being told and each time Clinton was on the wrong side of documentation.  It was only after State Department officials leaked to the public that the White House story was a fabrication that Clinton admitted "that information has changed...that's not surprising. That always happens." The "president" was out of contact with Clinton and Defense Secretary Leon Panetta, according to Panetta's testimony, from an hour, 18 minutes after the attack began at 5:30 pm until 5:15 the next morning. Yet Carney said the president was "regularly updated." When pressed for more information at a Congressional hearing, Clinton responded: "What difference at this point does it make?" A Congressional report from five House committees said that Clinton and the White House "perpetuated a deliberately misleading and incomplete narrative..." In other words, they lied. In his wisdom Solomon wrote in Ecclesiastes 3, "To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to reap that which is planted; A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up; A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance...A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace." It is time for We the People to stand up and as Ephesians 6:20 says to make known the mystery of the gospel and "speak boldly as I ought to speak." There is a time for indictment and a time to put away unrighteousness. Perhaps that time is now.  Have a Blessed and Powerful Day! Bill Wilson www.dailyjot.com PS.
