Note to Trump: Take away any Fed funds to the San Antonio airport due to religious discrimination, which UNLIKE the LBGT agenda is in the Constitution.
The long lines at Chick-Fil-A last week might have been in response to San Antonio’s announcement. Such things have happened before, more than once.
First they came for Southern heritage monuments and memorials then they came for the Alamo
And Jefferson and Washington and Custer and even Lincoln
Like I warned gleeful south bashers here two decades ago
And now Chil Fil A and the Salvation Army
Total destruction of WHITE CHRISTIAN CULTURE is their aim
That some freepers applauded this is nauseating
Wow.
I don’t know of alcoholism so I don’t know that a sip can send you back down to hell.
How sad. I feel for them.
I guess the equivalent non religious example would be me buying a one dollar scratch off and ending up in Atlantic City losing the mortgage money.
I DID lose rent money once upon a time when i was younger.
On more than one occasion.
It ended quite a few years before first house.
It had to be God listening to my mom, because I didn’t pray over it and she did.
I JUST LOST INTEREST one day, and I had a bad habit.
I KNOW it was God, I just don’t know why he did me the favor of letting it leave my body when I wasn’t very religions or spiritual at the time.
That helped.
With the teeny tiny cups generally used in modern Protestant communions, that’s probably true. That’s not enough alcohol to even get sleepy. They contain maybe a tablespoon at most.
There’s another modern factor, though, and that’s Antabuse. This could result in sickness even with one of those teeny tiny cups of wine. So it’s smart to use a no-alcohol symbol. I had an uncle who took Antabuse and went to a Roman Catholic church, and he would just wave the chalice by and take the wafer.
Your testimony isn’t uncommon. Praise the Lord. After enough practice taking in the Holy Spirit, the temptation is washed away.
I wasn’t open to it though!
I did nothing to deserve it.
I thanked God Afterwards.
But mom is pretty religious and she did some hard praying.
Not uncommon?
Wow. That’s great to know.
The Holy Spirit comes into different people in different ways. You don’t know what openings you really have, but God does.
But this isn’t an uncommon testimony. God can bless in you and through you in many ways before you’re aware of what’s happening.
The only eternally hopeless case is the one that refuses the Holy Spirit forever and ever in cold, dark purpose. If there is mere ambivalence, God can get in the door and sort things out, casting out the influence of Satan in stages.
I’d only want to warn that you could go through some stormy waters yet, even some that may have you half doubting. But you will emerge victorious on the other side of it, with what you already went through standing as a symbol of what the complete work will be. God is master of this thing called salvation.
Boy you write great.
Well the severe head injury over 10 years ago now and the STILL persistent leftover symptoms have not deterred my faith.
Actually made SIGNIFICANT progress after the 2 year “window” that doctors told me I had to heal.
that there is God.
I’d be thrilled to see a few airlines and a bunch of businesses boycott the SA airport-offensive and outrageous behavior like this by city officials should have financially and legally disastrous consequences to smack this behavior down hard.
I first lived in SA because I was going to college there-fresh from the ranch, I thought it was pretty nice and later lived in the burbs near there when hubby was in the military, to be close to work,etc-
The city of SA is so bad now that tourists from Mexico who come to stay at the guest ranches here don’t have any kind words for the airport there-bathrooms barely clean, rude people, luggage hassles, etc-so they just land at the airport, run to rent a vehicle and drive North to get to the hill country to stay and do stuff-I hope that ridiculous excuse of a city council gets their ass handed to them-along with a ruinous fine-in court-democrats turn every city they control into LA, NY or Seattle-I have visited those in the past 15-20 years-but I hear Chicago is even worse-never been there...
I have a great subject to write about. He deserves the praise. I had a childhood and later life full of trials. Now I see more clearly that Satan was getting after me trying to bring me down, but never completely succeeding.
God isn’t about utter shangri-la on earth. But it makes no sense that He would be. Once we accept that, and allow Him to take anything He wishes away in order to serve His larger purposes (which never violate His promises) then we find ourselves with many reasons for hope and joy as tables are prepared for us in the presence of our enemies.
Anyhow, I see no reason to panic when we see the power of the Spirit coming upon the people and we see the people beginning to accept it, however slowly. This will develop into yet another upset against Satan.
Why did God give us this catbird seat, even though Satan was busy pelting us with rocks as we sat there? I don’t know. But He is due the glory.
We have visited San Antonio several times, and even have family there. We also had planned a vacation there for this year, we even had reservations at a hotel on the Riverwalk. They have been cancelled, and the hotel was told exactly why we cancelled.
If anyone has ideas about a good vacation spot, let me know since we now have a spare week.
Hating the Salvation Army (the “other” SA) is kind of like hating puppies and kittens. That’s their public image. Satan bit off more than he could chew, IMHO.
That was great too.
You have the gift.
You need to write some books!
Only steers and queers come from the urban areas of Texas. And I don’t see them growing horns.
Please pray for me as God brings me to the appropriate place.
To have an effective ministry I have to learn how to shuck off pride and ego. He deserves the glory for what good I can bring forth. He originated it, He focused it. I stood there willing, but sometimes partially unwilling because the pain was so great that I just wanted to damn it all.
But as in gym training, no pain no gain. What we might have seen as senseless torment and ignominy was really the circumstances of spiritual training.
Essential to winning the game is treating it as a “we” game. Christians never solo. Christ called a community to salvation. They have clouds of witnesses and throngs of praying people to support them.
I will pray for you.
It seems like God has given you that gift to use.
And may God bless you to a great witness at a suitable time and place. Books you might not write, but you could speak volumes to the good.
I’ve actually been trying to write through songs, though ending up with some pretty eccentric pieces at first. I do kind of have a right to the “redneck” name from the social and geographic circumstances of my childhood, in Kentucky. I’ve written songs with redneck themes, and yet “by the loyal love of God above, the redneck gits-r-done.” Cleanse from it the demonic distortions of the Evil One and you get a great witness of God.
I HAVE hears some of your songs.
They were very good.
If you like the rustic-come to the hill country-you will be welcome, and we treat tourists right-come stay at a guest ranch, one of the nice lodges or book a rustic cabin on the river/in the woods. No city noise, smell, crowds or traffic, and shopkeepers are not rude, either-tourist business is bread and butter in our communities.
Go swim in the river, rent a canoe-or visit the antique shops from Pipe Creek to Kerrville, the apple orchard town of Medina, the farm to table restaurants in the boonies that serve organic locally produced food. No high city prices, either, so come on down...
If you want a list of accommodations, shops, restaurants operated by people my neighbors and I know and do business with, FReep mail me-we are proud of our local businesses...
