FIVE: WHERE SHALL WE FIND KNOWLEDGE Proverbs
4:5 Get wisdom, get understanding: forget it not; neither decline from the words
of my mouth.
6 Forsake her not, and she shall preserve thee: love her, and
she shall keep thee.
7 Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom:
and with all thy getting get understanding.
8 Exalt her, and she shall promote
thee: she shall bring thee to honour, when thou dost embrace her.
9 She shall
give to thine head an ornament of grace: a crown of glory shall she deliver to
thee. So,
how do we get wisdom? Answer:
We expose our minds to knowledge from God's Word and from the world around us.
Then we start sorting ruthlessly. The
reason God blessed America is not because we had a great group of "founding
fathers" who wrote a splendid Constitution for us. God blessed America because
our new form of nationalism, unlike the nations of Europe, was founded on the
truths in the Bible. And, our leaders, though they were Deists, nevertheless,
openly stated that God was in charge of the affairs of men.
THE
TRUMP TEST FROM GOD  Who
is the Elector of kings? Answer: God, not you. While you may vote, you are still
not in charge of the destiny of the nations.
Daniel
2:21 And he changeth the times and the seasons: he removeth kings, and setteth
up kings: he giveth wisdom unto the wise, and knowledge to them that know understanding: God
allowed Donald Trump to be elected as President of the United States. I am convinced
that God wanted to see what American Christians would do with the man. So,
when Donald Trump came along, divorced twice and married to a porn queen, and
breathing out self-exaltation from a warped narcissist personality, how many Christians
examined him with their King James Bible open? Very few. So, Trump became a leader
driven by lust for power and a nationalism that would have charmed Adolph Hitler.
It certainly seemed to charm Vladimir Putin. And, the vast majority of Christian
pastors kissed the ring of Trump just the way the Lutheran and Catholic priests
of Germany kissed up to Hitler. Trump's rallies were reminiscent of the night
rallies of Hitler. Trump's talk about wishing he could have a third term did not
frighten these gullible Christians. His rage and vengeance on anyone, from either
party, who did not keep in jack boot step with him, was monumental. Even out of
office, he is trying to destroy those he hates. As
I write, Trump is exalting Vladimir Putin as he invades the Ukraine and massacres
thousands of innocent people in his lust to rebuild the USSR empire. And, some
Christians will keep exalting Trump. Dear
Christian, and especially you pastors, if God's people keep kissing up to tyrants
and moral dogs, God will step back, and American nationalism may soon remind us
very much of a cheap Third World dictatorship in a banana republic in South America
or Asia. The Bible teaches us that God sometimes gives people what they want. The
key to not making a fool of oneself is to examine ALL THINGS by the Word of God.
Knowledge is the key ingredient in selecting leaders. Christians who fell in worship
of Trump were showing crass ignorance. The question now is, if given the chance,
will they do it again?
GODLY
KNOWLEDGE Study
what is before you. Then, determine if what you see is exactly what Jesus would
do or like. If it violates the teaching of Jesus and the Word, then step back,
pray for the mongrel degenerates, and do nothing to give them aid and comfort.
In America it is considered a very legitimate and a patriotic thing to abstain.
That is what the whole of the New Testament tells us. Paul told us to pray for
our leaders, who, in Paul's day, were sodomites and vicious killers. But, nowhere
does Paul encourage the saints to participate in the political system of his day.
Nowhere in the Epistles do we hear the exaltation of Caesar, claiming he will
make Rome great again. Wise men should read Paul more closely. Again,
when you go to church, and the platform is loaded with trap sets and monster sound
blasting machines, and the worship leaders look like fugitives from a baboon convention,
and the pastor comes out to preach dressed in early American Goodwill Industries
rags, you are NOT at church. Consider the standard from the Word of God: Psalms
29:2 Give unto the LORD the glory due unto his name; worship the LORD in the beauty
of holiness. The
Bible is your source of knowledge, and you must be wise and ask yourself, "Am
I hearing music that is beautiful? Or, is it a lot of vain repetition and love
songs addressed to pronouns instead of naming Jesus? Do I see people who look
like they have dressed for a meeting with a holy God? Is the glory going to his
name, or are the leaders chattering about how utterly cool our church is? Do the
male hunks, and the sexy ladies up yonder, move my soul toward God, or do they
tempt my libido?" The
new trendy logic is, "God can use anything to accomplish his will, so maybe
someone will be drawn into this place and get saved." That is a lie of the
devil. God will not, indeed, cannot use that which is profane. He wants it outside
on the street, not in his temple. In old Israel, Moses law forbid even the selling
of a dog and giving the money as an offering to God. Any time the Church meets,
and claims to be exalting Jesus, Jesus better be 100% in charge.

IS THE END OF YOUR LIFE IF YOU KEEP HUGGING IGNORANCE TED
TALKS- I strongly suggest that, if you want online time to add knowledge to your
hard drive, search Ted Talks. Some of their topics are disgusting, but they are
famous for finding people to talk about things they have done themselves or researched
seriously. HOW
TO TAKE BACK YOUR LIFE AND MIND FROM SMARTPHONE AND SOCIAL MEDIA THOROUGHLY
CONSCIOUS IGNORANCE
Stuart Firestein talks about identifying what you are
ignorant of with a view to finding knowledge to eliminate that ignorance. Pastors
should watch this. Sir, what are you doing when you teach the Bible to the people?
Are you giving them loads of facts which you expect them to remember? Or, are
you lighting a fire in them to hunger and thirst after righteousness and find
if themselves? If you want a church full of robots, keep loading on the facts.
If you want noble Bereans, who search "to see if these things be true,"
then you must draw them into the fact gathering process. In other words, you must
stop trying to be the center of attention and the brain boss.
