Not Man, But God

With the general view of so much offence in the world today I would suggest reading “The Bait of Satan”. It deals with the spirit of offence. As I watch the world descend into a whirlpool of offence it has created hate more openly than I have ever seen in my entire lifetime.

I would suggest everyone go to their respective corners and cool down and don’t come back out to you can say something productive. All that is going on now only destroys. Like the axiom states “If you can’t say something good, don’t say anything at all”.

My take is that if you see a problem don’t say anything unless you speak of a solution to the problem that can be universally acceptable. With that said we need to spend more time in the presence of God to gain wisdom to speak such truth. People have been so absent from His presence for so long they have lost their way. People been so busy taking prayer out of schools and public forums. They’ve been to busy doing anything and everything but living moral lives.

There is a broad spectrum of where people are on this scale, but we can all benefit from trying to be better people. I’m not perfect (totally mature), but I strive to improve with each new day. Seems to be quite the opposite for a certain portion of our nation now that is dragging down our expectations of a successful life for everyone in general. I still believe in the U.S.A.

The voting foundation of people have spoken. So, I don’t think I’m alone. There is so much confusion being thrown into the general media to keep us from keeping the America dream alive. Put God first again. That’s what will make America great again. Not a man. But God.

About JimR, Chaplain

I'm a 74-year-old guy, in October 2024, who worked in Naval Hospital Camp Lejeune for 28 years and now retired as of 31 Dec 16. I've worked in medical records, the Health Benefits Department, Billing, and the IT department and retired as the Personnel Security Manager for the hospital. I'm a musician and Corvette enthusiast. Yes, I have had two. I traded my second Corvette for a Harley Davidson Fat Boy in mid-summer 2019. Then in 2024, I traded to an HD FreeWheeler FLRT. I've already ridden the new one a thousand miles in 6 weeks. I'm also searching for a fresh new outlook on life with new spiritual insight among other things. I was ordained a minister in 20190202. I've become certified with the American Chaplaincy Association through Aidan University in June '21. I've found that with the unconditional love of my companion, Libby Rowe life is complete through God. She's a beautiful, vibrant, giving woman who gives her all in everything she puts her mind to do. She and I married on 24 July 2015. She was ordained in February 2022. She has a blog too called Under a Carolina Moon. Give it a visit.
