Help support this important legislation.

Today we vote for our country. Do we choose the status quo and travel further down the slippery slope of the liberal agenda alive and well in this country. Some argue that the Antichrist is not human but rather societal norms, what is considered politically correct, or accepted opinions, views, and behavior. It is the spirit of the Antichrist.
The truth of the matter is that our country was founded on Judean Christian principles contained throughout our constitution, declaration of independence, and our form of government. Our judicial system, legislature, and administrative branch were all founded on these principles, e.g., "In God we Trust", "Raise your right hand, place your left on the Bible, and swear to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help you God", and praying at the inauguration of the president of the USA and other important political events.
Please vote today. Vote your conscience. And more importantly, vote for our Lord and Savior, His church, children, and Kingdom.
In California, we vote whether to have unrestricted, late-term abortions without limits or whether we would advocate for a culture of life, keeping current restrictions in place. The liberal element is greedy and chooses a culture of death. This isn't from God, but rather the prince of evil, who prays on distancing us from Christ, having despair, and believing his lies.
It is time for God's children to stand up for Him, His church, children, and Kingdom. Don't let the devil win. Just say NO to Prop 1 and the liberal agenda.

I wrote this in response to this post by "One for Israel."

I have sometimes wondered if I am nuts; let me try to explain. I believe in a God that you cannot see, feel (per se), or touch. I read the words of God, from Jesus, the Apostles, and Prophets. And I believe. But I, unlike most people I suspect, sense the presence of God (i.e., Father, Son, Holy Spirit).

I call out to Him in good times and bad. I pray to Him that He would watch over me and my loved ones. I thank Him for the many blessings that He has placed in my life. I am blessed with a wife, who is God's daughter and disciple; 4 children (2 of which are saved, a third working on it, and the fourth and eldest far from it); and 3 beautiful grandchildren with loving hearts. I have a growing business. One in which I am able to help others. I find great joy in these gifts.

Beyond this, I have envisioned, at times, a time before my birth when I was fighting for the Lord in Heaven against Lucifer and the third of hosts of angels. I was not alone. There were many others fighting for the Lord. It was a battle, a melee, and intense. At times, I sense the angels in Heaven singing of the praises of God, glorifying His creation, purity, and righteousness.

In my 20s, I was communicating with the Holy Spirit. He would give me guidance and instruction that saved my life over and over again. I could hear His voice, not with my ears but my mind. As an older man today getting close to 60, I still hear the Holy Spirit if I concentrate enough. His voice is not as clear as before, but I still hear Him in my mind and understand.

Yes, I can understand why some would think I am nuts, but I have always told the truth about this experience. Few believe. I believe it is easier to believe in God, when He has revealed Himself to you. God had said that if we seek Him with all our hearts, mind, body, and spirit, He will make His presence known. Despite what others may think and say, I will continue to believe and seek out God, until He calls me home.

May our Lord and Savior continue to bless you and your loved ones, and may He reveal Himself to you. Peace.

"But others were mocking and saying, 'They are full of sweet wine.' But Peter, taking his stand with the eleven, raised his voice and declared [apophtheggomai] to them: 'Men of Judea and all you who live in Jerusalem, let this be known to you and give heed to my words'" (Acts 2:13-14). "While Paul was saying this in his defense, Festus said in a loud voice, 'Paul, you are out of your mind! Your great learning is driving you mad.' But Paul said, 'I am not out of my mind, most excellent Festus, but I utter [apophtheggomai] words of sober truth'" (Acts 26:24-25). With some people there's just no winning the argument. Let's consider Peter and Paul. Peter and Paul are parallel figures in the book of Acts, and Luke wants us to notice the similarities between the two. Both men are accused of being out of their minds, Peter because of too much wine, and Paul because of too much learning. Both men, however, "utter" (apophtheggomai) words of absolute apostolic truth. Luke chooses the word apophtheggomai to describe their utterance, a word which only appears 3 times in the entire NT, only in Acts, and specifically related to Holy Spirit utterance (Acts 2:4, 14; 26:25; see also 1 Chron 25:1 LXX ). But let's face it, even Peter and Paul, speaking by the Spirit of God, and providing the very best of biblical arguments in support of their faith, were still accused of being nuts. We must always remember that evangelism is not a game of chess, where the one who puts forth the most convincing arguments check-mates his opponent. If Peter was accused of drunkenness, and Paul of insanity, we ought not be surprised when people say some pretty crazy things about us. Don't be discouraged. You are simply privileged participants of an age-old tradition dating all the way back to the prophets and the apostles. "Blessed are you when people insult you and persecute you, and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of Me. Rejoice and be glad, for your reward in heaven is great; for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you" (Matt 5:11-12).

If you are a conservative Christian there is nothing as near and dear to your heart (other than Jesus and your family) as the protection of unborn children. Too many so called Christians support abortion like the liberal element in this country. It is time to wake up. Liberal democrats are trying to eradicate the Hyde amendment that outlawed the use of US tax dollars to fund abortions world wide. This is pure evil as mentioned in Ephesians 6:12, "For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places."

We must rise up against this evil as mentioned in Ephesians 6:13, "Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand firm." Come Heavenly Father. Fill our souls with your courage and strength. In Jesus holy name I pray.

The House Committee on Appropriations voted to push through four of the most extreme pro-abortion bills EVER. These bills take away the pro-life policies that:protect taxpayers from having to pay for elective abortions, both here and overseasprotect...

My focus is on bringing conservative Christians together to fight the good fight. That is, pushing back against evil in the form of liberals that deny God, support anti-Christian values, and are just a thorn in my arse. Okay, maybe I'm being a little harsh, possibly.

We need to organize and recognize that we are God's children and He is our Creator. God has given me the vision, so I continue to work toward that vision. The Earth belongs to His children, not to these forces that refuse to recognize our Creator. Our Lord's spirit resides with us, and it is this spirit that makes us bold to build God's Kingdom on Earth.

One last note, God's commandment that we spread His word among all nations and to all ends of the Earth is almost complete. Some project in 5 years all nations will have heard God's word and that the Bible will have been translated in all known languages on the Earth. In other words, the time has come to prepare yourself for the return of our Lord and Savior. We can start by loving our God with all our being and to love others as God has loved us. I ask that you start working on charitable works to help those less fortunate than yourself. God Bless.

The Biden Administration is moving forward on legislation designed to fund abortions in the billions of dollars. Here in the USA and overseas. At times, I get tired trying to fight the good fight. At times like this, I lean on our Heavenly Father for strength and courage, trusting that He will provide a miraculous solution. Help us Jesus in our hour of need.

What started out as the beginning of a journey to build bridges on interfaith communications and joint charitable works, ended with disbelief about what has happened to the Christian faith.

My wife and I volunteered at Loaves and Fishes in Sacramento to pack meals through the Knights of Columbus of Sacramento. The work was meaningful and we prepared about 300 meals. Knowing that we were working to feed the hungry, as Christ has commanded, made the work worth it.

While working, I was standing next to and speaking with 2 older women probably in their late 60s, early 70s. They were Catholic. I was speaking to them about how religious liberties are being crushed and trampled on.

They asked me what I was talking about. I told them how the government shut down churches across the state. They said their churches remained open. I told them that this was not the case for most churches, Catholic or otherwise. I mentioned the Equality Act, which would require churches to hire transgender people. One of the ladies, which I could tell was used to speaking her mind, told me to not judge, lest I be judged. I told that I didn't have to judge since Jesus already has. She told me that he hadn't. I reminded her that Jesus said that marriage is between a man and a woman. She said that He had not. I told her it is in the New Testament (refer to Mark 10:6-9 and Matthew 19:4-6). Her friend confirmed it to her disbelief. I also mentioned that God found it to be an abomination and to refer to the 2 towns obliterated from the face of the Earth in the Old Testament.

What has happened to Christianity in the state of California? I rejoined the Knights because I was invited by the state deputy of the Knights of Columbus to do so. His message was clear unite with us to stand against the evil brewing in the world, our country, and our state. For those that don't know, the Knights of Columbus represent 2% of the Catholics. These are men that love the Lord and spend their free time doing charitable works.

My brother Knights see what is happening, but apparently main stream Catholics do not and may be part of the problem. I will be writing my local council Grand Knight, Loaves and Fishes coordinator, and the lead priest at St. Mel's Church and voice my concern. I think part of the problem is that most Catholics don't read their bible. As this lady apparently did not, thus, reflecting her lack of knowledge concerning God's views on what is right versus wrong. God bless you and keep me in your prayers.

Check out this discussion of Mormonism and Evangelicals. It may surprise you.

Besides working toward building the men's ministry at church, I intend to bring the various Christian faiths together. For example, we intend to hold a Men's Conference at our church late summer, early fall. I would like to invite other Christian men from other denominations, such as Catholics and LDS, as well as the Gideons and New Life Church.

On this note, I have been offended by derogatory comments made by Christian men (both pastors and nonpastors) who have been fed misinformation concerning the Mormon church. I have been told that they worship Joseph Smith, don't promote the Holy Spirit, don't follow Jesus, and that Jesus was conceived by a fallen angel.

Where in the world do they come up with this garbage. This is nothing more than gossip and hearsay. Which as we know as Christian's should not be apart of this. As a born again Christian and a former member of the LDS/Mormon church and after investigating the LDS/Mormon church for 5 to 6 years, I can speak unequivocally that these rumors are false and to the best of my discernment propagated by either the adversary the devil or his disciples/minions.

The LDS/Mormon church is Christian. 1. They believe that Jesus Christ is the son of God. (So, no, Jesus wasn't conceived by a fallen angel.) 2. They believe that salvation is obtained through the blood sacrifice of Christ. 3. They believe that our sins are forgiven through penance and made possible by the blood of Christ. 4. They believe that Jesus rose from the dead and ascended into Heaven. 5. They look at Joseph Smith as a modern day prophet. Some twenty years before I investigated the LDS/Mormon church and knew anything about them, the Holy Spirit revealed to me that Joseph Smith was a great prophet like Moses, Elijah, and Isaiah. I am not making this up. So Joseph Smith is not worshiped but is held in high regard for starting the church. 6. They believe Jesus is the God of planet Earth. They also believe that He is our older brother, for we are children of God also. They try to emulate His character and loving actions. And in a lot of ways, they are more Christian that we are.

My intent isn't to convert anybody, but instead to build a bridge of understanding so that our two Christian denominations can start working together. God bless you always.

If you have followed this organization page, you may recall that I have been trying to persuade my church to encourage the men's ministry to put faith to work and perform charitable works in God's name and for His glory and Kingdom. I did this some 5 years ago. As you may remember, I met with initial reluctance and push back. I didn't know my Bible well enough back then to push back with James (faith without works is dead) and Paul in Ephesians (2:10, ESV) For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.

Well my prayers were partially answered in 2020, when I was invited to join the men's ministry leadership team at my church. This year, however, is the year that our men's ministry will be performing charitable works. Praise God, for He is mighty, all powerful, holy, and good. God has promised never to forsake us.

We had our first men's dinner of 2021. We had a nice turnout and look forward to the next meeting in February. In the meantime, we enjoyed fellowship, worship, and small group discussion.

I am excited about the next steps in between meetings. My small group will be joining together on the youversion bible app for your phone soon. We will be in contact with each other in between meetings, we will be texting, emailing, and possibly meeting for coffee. Last, but not least, we will be looking for opportunities to pray for each other, to assist each other, and to help any neighbors that need it. I am excited and can't wait.
