Deconstruction

The great writer Lewis Carroll wrote two famous books Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass. In Through the Looking Glass, Alice comes to a fork in the road, she does not know which way to go, which road to take. Sitting on a tree at the fork is a large Cheshire cat, she asks the cat, "which road shall I take?" The cat said, "where are you going?" Alice said, "I don't know." "Then", the Cheshire cat said, "it does not matter which road you take."

It must provoke God to anger that human beings have been given the correct road to take in life, yet they choose to travel the incorrect road, “the road most traveled.” Adam and Eve chose to trust the slimy serpent rather than God. Before the Flood, after the Flood, and until the cross, men always chose the low road in life, rather than the high road. They pay for their sins over and over, yet learned nothing. On the other side of the cross, they chose a thief, turned him back on the streets and hung the only perfect man who has ever lived on the cross. Given a choice, mankind usually picks sin because sin is so attractive: wrong over right, evil over good.

God Himself, creator of the universe (John 1), took all our sins and diseases to the cross, as prophesied 700 years before God put on a “tent” of human flesh. Through the atonement, redemption, we have the salvation of God living in us. Many understand, but are not willing to pay the price.

The Bible protects girls more than boys, women were little more than slaves until Christ came into the world. I have never known a female atheist or a poor atheist. Any time, I had rather talk with an unashamed atheist than a mixed up church member. Those who do not want God in their lives, their church, their country should go to Europe, Russia, or China where God has been taken from the scene. Europe, once Christian, has become a secular, non-believing playground for agnostics, and the Muslims, who still have a strict belief system, have taken oven. There are more mosques in Europe than churches. The difference in Western and Eastern religious philosophy is: Western Christian – love through sacrifice, Eastern Cults – sacrifice without love.

We learned to prop up our economy by engaging in winless, useless wars. We came out of the Great Depression with WW2...Korean (53,000 killed), Vietnam (58,000 killed) were promoted to keep the economy going. Now, Iraq, Afghanistan (5,000 killed) and other brush-fire wars such as Serbia and the first Kuwait/Iraq conflict have kept the economy going until we find debt is choking us to death in spite of war. So, there must be a third world war, starting with the bombing of Iran, a cauldron in the middle east, bringing in the worst of the Somalia, Pakistan, and other interdictions.

With the new world order, we will have a one world financial system, a one world energy system, the beginning of a one-world retail and grocery system. You don't have to look far, just the disappearance of the family farm (for every farmer less than age 35, there are 8 over age 65), roadside stands, corporate farming, two crop seasons such as in Brazil (two crops each year, a harvesting combine on one side of a large field, the ground being turned and replanted on the other side.).
We hear that Americans are too good to a do a dirty job, that lowly foreigners, illegals, must come in to do the hard work. Still, at my old age, my hands are not too good to clean commodes at rental property. You see, I know what it is like to work all day in hot, green, sticky tobacco to make one dollar. I saw my mother, my family do the same type of hard work.

You see much sand in the Sahara desert which can be a real peril, today's youth want to see sand in a sand trap on a golf course. It is always a matter of outlook. What a man loves is a test of his happiness. One who loves vice cannot stand to think of religion. If you love your body, you will not become addicted to poisons: liquor, recreational drugs, cigarettes. The difference in dieting and fasting, in dieting you are doing something for your body, in fasting you are doing something for your soul. There is nothing more miraculous then the design, morphology, and physiology of the human body, why deconstruct it?

So many of us gave so much for your liberty, many interpret liberty as enslavement and freedom to sin...enslavement of addiction, greed, gluttony, lust, anger, all these sins beginning with the gateway sin of pride. You can only be reconstructed with humility. Incrementally, you drift into deconstruction, there are more discouragers than encouragers in the world, everyone needs words of encouragement. The only time our Blessed Lord sang was before His death on the cross, just after the Lord's supper, before they left the upper room.

The greatest weapon Satan has in his arsenal to defeat is the weapon of discouragement, despair. Both Nikolai Lenin, Premier of Russia, and the apostle Paul (Saul of Tarsus), persecutor of Christians, were killers. Lenin, if he had the reconstruction of God's more than abundant grace, could have been a powerful giant of faith, just as the apostle Paul, who had such a marvelous conversion on the Damascus road. Pray for transforming, not conforming (Romans 12:1-2). Christianity is not just defensive, but offensive...we are truly “onward Christian soldiers”.
