Memorial Day

~ Randy Harris ~ Leave a comment

Today is a day to honor those who gave the ultimate sacrifice for love and freedom of America! A day to honor those who died as it were with their boots on fighting to defend our way of life. Faith, freedom, and family. Thank you! Below is an excerpt from Lt. Gen. Jerry Boykin, a true American hero and patriot. Rh

Ret. Army Lt. Gen. Jerry Boykin says:

 Now, if you stop and think about it, what Memorial Day is all about is honoring those that gave the last full measure, honoring those who died fighting for this country. If young adults really knew what a sacrifice that has been made by those men and women that have stepped up and said, ‘Here am I—send me’ by giving their lives in service to this country, they would certainly have more pride.

Sadly, the reason is most millennials have never been taught anything except what is wrong with our country, how our heroes were not only flawed but hopelessly evil. Yet America is the only nation that fought a Civil War to right the wrong of slavery, and that cost the lives of over 650,000 men. See, the truth is for more than 244 years, American men and women have given their lives to a cause greater than themselves—the cause of liberty. When we lose sight of what that cause is, there’s no reason to make such a costly sacrifice, no longer a need to be patriotic, no longer a need to celebrate Memorial Day. So it is on us to pass on to the next generation what Memorial Day is all about.  In fact, Ronald Reagan spoke these memorable words to the Phoenix Chamber of Commerce on March 30, 1961:

Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We did not pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children’s children what it was once like in the United States where men were free.[2]

Who Am I?

It has been a while since I took a look at my stats. I am humbled that people from so many different areas are at least stopping to take a look at what I post. My main focus here is to spread news and information. I thought it might be time to let the new followers or guests that stop by to understand a little about me.

I am a born again believer, who has spent over 45 years in study of the Bible. A retired Pastor, Elder at the present time, Founder of Christian Conservative Coalition, Chairman of the Faith and Family Sub-Committee of the Collier County GOP.

My passion is to motivate Christians to get involved in government. As I look at the world today I try to use my Biblical expertise and the happening world events to discern the times we live in. We are in trouble. Many of my post will focus on political involvement and issues at home in America. However the Middle East is ground zero for all things related to what is brewing underneath. People fear what they don’t know, I hope to shed some light on where we are in the order of things related to the “end times”.

We are in the biggest fight we have ever been in to keep freedom, not only in America, but around the world. The One World Government boys are pushing hard to take over. This fight is a spiritual fight over ideas and control. It’s not a left vs. right political battle, but my feeling it is an all out good vs. evil fight. The morals of the world has gone into the cesspool. Lies, lack moral character, rule of law, stolen elections all for power and greed. It grieves my heart. You see I remember America as it used to be. A shiny light set on a hill, a beacon of freedom and hope for the world. Now, not so much.

In short thanks for dropping by. Sign up to receive my updates in your inbox. Spread the word and buckle up, things are beginning to heat up. Thanks again, Rh

Contending for the Faith Part 1

Commentary writer Matthew Henry said “a traitor inside the church is worse than a thousand outside the church.” Many times those of us who strictly contend for the faith are looked upon as hard liners or too conservative, but in society today fundamental truth needs to be shouted from the rooftops. When so called Pastors deny any part of the Bible as the word of God, or try to minimize or throw away what God has said, they are wolves in sheep’s clothing. Shepards are called to lead and feed the flock of God. Today not so much. (Isaiah 56:10-12) Pastors need to speak out on issues from their pulpit! Don’t be a sissy. Don’t be afraid because now is the time for men of God to be leaders not follows. We should change the atmosphere wherever we go. Find a man like that to support. Brave and strong in the Lord. By the way, get involved in what is happening today politically as well. Get out of the Church and do something. Preach issues from your pulpit. Tell your parishioners God will judge your vote. Vote Biblical values!

Most of our moral issues plaguing us today stem from nonsensical interpretation of the scriptures. Pastors, of which I am one, drive me crazy with the their fear of losing members. Preach the word, be a good Bible teacher. Don’t compromise. An old Preacher told me this over 40 years ago, “Son the people who are with you can’t leave you, and the people who aren’t with you can’t stay.” What he meant was those who want the truth will be drawn to you and those who want their ears tickled will leave. Great advice for any endeavor, just be yourself and say what is right and true and be passionate.

If you have as good Pastor, encourage him constantly. He needs it. If you go to a dead and dry church, get out of it. Christian’s don’t need junk food, they need to be fed from the Word. Rh

‘Quite the Survivor’: Micro-Preemie Given Only 10% Chance of Survival Celebrates First Birthday. Talia Wise CBN News

A Texas micro-preemie, who weighed just 1 pound and 5 ounces the day he was born, celebrated his first birthday on Tuesday, defying predictions of doctors who only gave him a 10 percent chance of survival.

Amandi Omokore-Allen defied all odds after spending 155 days in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) after his birth.

“He was under a pound-and-a-half and 23 weeks and two days,” Samantha Smith, a neonatal nurse practitioner at Pediatrix Neonatology of Texas and Ascension Seton Medical Center in Austin, told Fox News.

Amandi was only slightly more than halfway through the pregnancy, which is typically 40 weeks.

Woe Is Me

~ Randy Harris ~ Leave a comment

Isaiah 6:5…Woe is me for I am undone…for my eyes have seen the King, The Lord of Host. When we get an exalted view of God it brings a clear view of sin and a realistic view of self. Now that is scary. That may be why so many of us keep a somewhat safe distance from the presence of God. Close but not too close. We must remember that the Lord still sees us and knows us in intimate detail, even if we don’t acknowledge Him. Even the New Testament tells us to “work out our own salvation with fear and trembling.” That doesn’t mean we compromise and cut a deal with the Lord, no His word is true and never changes, but it does mean we need to constantly put our life under a Holy Spirit magnifying glass. Maybe it’s time we stop being average, but strive for spiritual excellence. The old adage is simple but true, God puts His super on our average. All God wants is a willing and humble heart and the Holy Spirit will do the rest. Let this be the year of consecration to Almighty God. Oh that I might see the Lord, high and lifted up. Rh
