HONORING OUR PARENTS

Friends, we live in uncertain times . . .

Gone are the days of ten children (my father was #10). Gone are the days of not working on Sundays and coming home after church for a nice home-cooked family meal.

Instead, in 2007, we are left with the fragments of our once Christian land. Sunday is a day to shop or watch NFL football at a bar. Church is still in existence, but sadly, something just squeezed in as we go about our usually overly hedonistic lifestyles . . . Finally, family life is utterly in ruins. Divorce is over 50% of marriages. Children are enslaved by social workers. Parents fight it out over who gets custody, and all the time the lawyers, the counselors and the social workers pad their pockets with our money. Domestic mercenaries are family lawyers, social workers and family therapy counselors.

Such are the Dark Ages of 2007 U.S.A.

But, in the midst of such cultural fragmentation, Jesus Christ, and His church offer a better way. Family life in the United States of America will never be normal again, but within such shards of formerly western culture, our communal lives somehow struggle to move on.

Children (for example Elian Gonzales a few years ago) ARE re-united eventually with their fathers. Home-cooked meals may end up being little more than two divorced men getting together to share pork-chops and watch the Tampa Bay Rays baseball.

Life does move on and in the midst of the Dark Ages of secular hedonism, Baptists, Catholics, Pentecostals, Orthodox, Hispanic, African American and Anglo are struggling to nit together a new Christian society.

Can you see it?

Can you see the springs bursting forth through the Florida soil? The Indiana soil? The Portland, Oregon soil?

The Kingdom of God comes silently, but powerfully.

Men who have been brutalized by 30 years of feminist ideology are suddenly back in power, but not being brutal the way their feminist counter-parts once were. We men, like Jesus Christ, have learned to "turn the other cheek."

Similarly, children, although at one time and still in many places torn to shreds by divorce courts and social worker societal anarchists are now being cared for primarily by biological family members and not paper-pushing state bureaucrats. Law-suits have been filed against these corrupt social workers and still more lawsuits and indeed jail time will now insue for such state officials interfering with functioning, healthy, normal American families. In fact, the state of Florida recently severely censured one such social worker czaress.

So, as we move ahead as a Christian people living in the aftermath that our forefathers of the twentieth century left us (abortion as birth control, men ostracized, social worker anarchy, and elderly shoved into medicaid-run nursing homes), let us obey the Ten Commandments. Have NO OTHER GOD than the LORD GOD, revealed exclusively in Jesus Christ. Obey and HONOR your parents and please, for heaven's sake, do not just shove the elderly in nursing homes. These are our parents, and it is the DIVINE LAW to honor our fathers and our mothers.

This legacy of Judeo-Christian Teaching has survived the onslaught of secular humanists. Let us now pick up the shards of our society that are still functioning and forge together a NEW PEOPLE, one Nation, under JESUS CHRIST, for liberty and justice for all . . .

Love in Jesus Christ,
Rob J. King, supporter of elderly rights

Rob, recently I did a counseling with a mother and a son of twenty years old. Oddly enough, he already had two children and a wife. The meeting was to bring some type of order to the son. He was beating up his mother, calling her names and refused to move out of her house. Oddly enough, there was no father at any moment in the part of the son's life.

Since, there was physical abouse to the mother, authorities had been called but the mother refuse to press charges.

When I introduced myself to the son, as Pastor J, I could feel a evil sensation comming from his eyes.

This was probably the hardest counseling appt that I have ever had. It ended with one session, because the mother did not like what I said to her son. What a surprise, huh?

JESUS (a.k.a. Pastor J! :-)

As mi madre always used to say, "the eyes are the window to the soul . . ." MUCH TRUTH in such orthodox Christian parental wisdom! Some people are so evil I dare not even look them in the eyes! Others, it is a JOY to gaze lovingly into the depths of his or her soul.

Take heart and pray the blood of Jesus over yourself, your home and the people you counsel. I once counseled a former satanist (while on staff at an inner city Methodist church). He wanted to turn his life over to Jesus Christ, but you could sense the evil afflicting him. I prayed and even still, there was a stronghold of evil afflicting him.

Love in JESUS CHRIST,
Rob J. King (a.k.a. former pastor Rob . . . now kind of Pentecostal opus dei Rob :-)
