Prostitution of the Press

   Prostitution of the Press

   It is with sadness that I am writing this due to imbalanced and one sided Media propagandists in American history. I felt like the News Reports; be it on Prints, Screens, or Internet- mostly for the advantage and advancement of the leftwings, and liberals or an Anti- Trump Prime Time Show, and not to serve as a News Outlet.

   Partisan, dishonest, propagandists of the Marxists and Democratic Party is how I could analyze the current culture of the USA's Mainstream Media. 

   "Prostitution of the Press" The Salt Lake Herald abstracts from "The Press of the World" some of the "rules of conduct " which Benjamin Franklin followed in his first journalistic venture.  "They are so perfectly applicable to present-day newspapers," it says, "that they are worth preserving and emphasizing." He had just begun the publication of his Pennsylvania Gazette when an article was submitted to him that did not meet his views of propriety. With his customary deliberation he did not at once reject it, but told the writer he would sleep over it and give his decision the next day. This is how he applied his rules to the subject: 

   "I have perused your piece," he wrote, "and find it to be scurrilous and defamatory To determine whether I should publish it or not, I went home in the evening, purchased a two-penny loaf at the baker's, and, with water from the pump, made my supper; I then wrapt myself up in my great coat, and laid down on the floor and slept till morning, when on another loaf and a mug of water, I made my breakfast. From this regimen I feel no inconvenience whatever. Finding I can live in this manner, I have formed the determination never to prostitute my press to corruption and abuse of this kind for the sake of gaining a more comfortable subsistence." (Cyclopedia of Illustrations for Public Speakers).

   Is this not what we have in the Press right now? Some of the Cable News and Newspapers are the Propagandists of the Left and the Marxists. We are living in a world where the News we hear is just the Script that the one sided Producer or Newscaster or Cable Network have previously prepared…

   Who will trust the USA's Press?

Word of Wisdom from Mi Daily Devotion 

Proverbs 18:2 KJV [2] A fool hath no delight in understanding, but that his heart may discover itself.

Delight is the word that could make you desire, until you discover the blessings God has prepared, oh! What an honor when sometimes you have to change, even the message with pleasure to share, as you try to discover what God have for the world.

I- Delight in the Lord- Psalm 37:4 KJV [4] Delight thyself also in the Lord ; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.

II- Delight in God' Word- Psalm 1:2 KJV [2] But his delight is in the law of the Lord ; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.

III- Delight in Justice- Proverbs 11:1 KJV [1] A false balance is abomination to the Lord : but a just weight is his delight.

Verse to Ponder: Proverbs 11:20 KJV [20] They that are of a froward heart are abomination to the Lord : but such as are upright in their way are his delight.

Debt, Death, and the Day of the Lord

This may be in my new book. Still contemplating. 

Will it be proper to say that there might be more Jews in Iraq and Iran than in Israel itself? We never know what happened with the people of Ur of the Chaldees, people  from Mesopotamia, the Chaldeans, and how they have mixed in with the Jews or Hebrews from the time of Abraham until the time of Nebuchadnezzar. 

The mixed marriages, mixed blood, and all those who remained in Babylon during Babylonian Captivity mentioned by Prophets Isaiah,  Jeremiah, and Daniel, and Ezekiel may lead us to the conclusion that there are innumerable numbers of Jews who have lived, and are still living in the said Countries.  (Ezekiel 23:1- 49) is a good Biblical record of how the Jewish people spread,from the time of Moses in Egypt up to this present time. (Jeremiah 29:22,28 KJV)

"And of them shall be taken up a curse by all the captivity of Judah which are in Babylon, saying, The Lord make thee like Zedekiah and like Ahab, whom the king of Babylon roasted in the fire; [28] For therefore he sent unto us in Babylon, saying, This captivity is long: build ye houses, and dwell in them ; and plant gardens, and eat the fruit of them."

 

Here God told the Jews and the whole nation of Israel of their plight. - (Jeremiah 21:9 KJV)

"He that abideth in this city shall die by the sword, and by the famine, and by the pestilence: but he that goeth out, and falleth to the Chaldeans that besiege you, he shall live, and his life shall be unto him for a prey."

Is this not what we are seeing with our naked eyes with what is happening in the entire Middle East, and Israel right now?- (Jeremiah 22:25 KJV)

"And I will give thee into the hand of them that seek thy life, and into the hand of them whose face thou fearest, even into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, and into the hand of the Chaldeans."

"In fact, Nebuchadnezzar may have been of partial Chaldean descent himself. Along with several other groups, like the Kassites and Arameans, the Chaldeans kicked off a dynasty that would create the Neo-Babylonian Empire; it ruled Babylonia from about 625 B.C. until 538 B.C., when the Persian King Cyrus the Great invaded." (Learn Religions)

It's interesting to watch, hear, and read the current events and compare it to what the Bible says; it's like looking at the Big screen with the pictures of the past, the present, and the future. Fear don't play the game but excitement and joy, and desire to see Jesus Coming in the Air. #Boklit

The Weirdest People are in DC (The Politicians)

The Weirdest People are in DC (The Politicians)

   They'll ask you to pray for the Victims in schools of hate crimes and terrorism, but they were the ones who removed prayer in schools. 

   They quote Bible verses when there's calamities, chaos, terrorism, and insurmountable issues that are beyond their control; but prohibits Bible reading at school, and won't even allow anyone to read or bring a copy of the Bible in government offices, in the House and Senate, and some Public places.

   They will not allow the 18 years old to have a license to carry a gun, but they armed them to go to War.

   They won't allow children or under age youths to buy cigarettes, wine and liquor, condoms, etc; but gave them the liberty to change their sexual orientation. 

   They denied US Visas to those who formally, decently, and discreetly 

applied from their home Countries; but freely let the Border Crossers pass the process. (I hope they are not giving money and freebies) to illegals.

   They let go of the rioters who killed, destroyed, burned, and hurt many people and businesses; but scrutinized and held accountable those who just trespassed on Government offices. They even did it to President Donald J Trump who had the right to stand against the rigged Election.

   They will fine and lock you up for hurting or killing any animals, birds or your own pet, but applaud you, support you, and even pay you for killing your own baby. 

   They will come after you if you love this Country, stand for what is right, support their political opponents, and if you're conservative; but praise and support you if you are immoral, drug user or leftists, as long as you stand with their Political Agenda. 

   They are easy on money for other Countries who don't even care about us, but let the Veterans who fought and sacrificed for this Country starve and live in the streets- homeless. 

   They make Laws, only to break them if it gets into their lifestyle, if it involves their loved ones. "Laws for Thee Not for Me".

   They started in Politics driving an old car, and now they are living a luxurious lifestyle. They forgot about their promises. 

   They only show up in your Community or State during Election seasons.

   They won't allow you to say, post or decorate something about Christmas, with 'Jesus' on it; but they Celebrate it with probably wealthy business men and women where they get Christmas gifts, financial support or Christmas bonuses.

   They will ask you to Vote for them because they are the one who will fight for you in DC. You can't even take 5 minutes of their time once they're seated. Call them, email them, text them… erhhhg! The secretary will tell you her/his boss is busy right now… and tomorrow… Yes, maybe the next Election day he/she will be available for you.

   "I will fix the roads, the bridges, the schools, and even your grandparents' dentures". They all have been called to glory, and the roads, the bridges, and the dentures remain empty promises. 

   While we are struggling pumping the high prices of gas, putting food on the table for our loved ones, and paying our Mortgage; your double face, double standard, and hypocrite Politicians could be in the best Restaurant in the Country, traveling on Taxpayers money or may be in 5 stars hotel or nice Clubhouse.

   This coming Election; Vote for someone who fears the Lord, the one with family values, the men and women who love this Country, love God, and their family. And Vote for those who will stand for what is right in the sight of God and man.

Message to Liberals

Isaiah 32:5-10 KJV

The vile person shall be no more called liberal, nor the churl said to be bountiful. [6] For the vile person will speak villany, and his heart will work iniquity, to practise hypocrisy, and to utter error against the Lord, to make empty the soul of the hungry, and he will cause the drink of the thirsty to fail. [7] The instruments also of the churl are evil: he deviseth wicked devices to destroy the poor with lying words, even when the needy speaketh right. [8] But the liberal deviseth liberal things; and by liberal things shall he stand. [9] Rise up, ye women that are at ease; hear my voice, ye careless daughters; give ear unto my speech. [10] Many days and years shall ye be troubled, ye careless women: for the vintage shall fail, the gathering shall not come.

Mi Daily Devotion (ABORTION)

Aeta's Belief on Abortion

(Lessons for So-called Highly Intellectuals)

   This is about the group of people in the Philippines who are not as highly intellectual as the American Politicians or like Bill Gates. Most of them can't even read and write, but they don't believe in Abortion, and they even try to prevent it. According to Wikipedia; "For birth control purposes, Aeta women drink wine made out of lukban (pomelo) root. They are, however, not advised to drink herbal tea from makahiya extract even if it's also used to elevate stomachache problems due to the belief that it will cause abortion. The idea behind this is that like the closing of makahiya leaves once touched, the womb may also close once the makahiya touches it." These Tribal group of people (some) uneducated don't practice Abortion, and even try to prevent it. But why do educated Politicians, Professors, Professionals and Liberals don't get it?

Either You're a Lazy Pastor or Your Church is Dead and You Don't Even Know It or You are Used to It If…

1- You are not personally and intentionally active in Missions and Evangelism. 

2- If no one gets saved in your church services, no one gets baptized or no visitor and new members on the roll.

3- If you pull your messages from the book, internet or some form of media. You don't study and prepare your own Sermon.

4- You are not prayerful, you are not excited to study your messages and preach the Word, and you're satisfied to preach to the same faces every Sunday and Prayer Meeting; if you still believe in 'Prayer Meeting'.

5- If you have NO activity this week, no Car/Cars in your huge Parking Space during the week, except on Sunday Morning, and the Chairs and Computer desk, and library in your office are dusty. 

6- If you have no Monthly Plans, Short-term Plans, Annual Activities, and Long-term Plans for your church, and your Mission work. If your church did not multiply since it started- that's even worse. 

7- If your church does not have an Outreach, it means it is not doing Spiritual Enrichment to the people in your pews.

8- If you have no Discipleship Program, Bible Studies or Follow up Programs for your Visitors- you are just acting like a Club. Even Clubs, and businesses has Follow up plans for their members and customers- churches must do the same. Delegate the Tasks.

9- if you have NO Youth and Children's Reachout Plan- your church is in its way to Merging just to survive, Closing or waiting for all the Elderly to not be able to support your church because they are immobile already. 

10- If you don't have the 7 'Ps' such as: a) Prayerful life. b) Plan for yourself with the church. c) Programs with your church for the Community and neighbors. d) Persistency to work hard. e) Perseverance to stay Focus to succeed. f) a heart to Prosper for the glory of God. and you don't g) Practice what you Preach. Then you are on your way to failure and your church will be a candidate for the "Church Closing" Statistics. You are accountable to God for being the Pastor of your church. 

If you can't reverse all these, I suggest you find some other things to do. Pastorate might not be for you. Remember you're not there for the Salary and comfort, you're there because you were Called by God to be the Pastor of the church. Now, get out of your Comfort Zone and find a place to Pray and Search your heart!

You should be at your best because God will require faithfulness from His stewards. (1 Corinthians 4:1-2 KJV) "Let a man so account of us, as of the ministers of Christ, and stewards of the mysteries of God. [2] Moreover it is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful."
