If the foundations are destroyed what can the righteous do.” Comment: When I think of the English word foundations I think of brick and mortar! This scripture is very short and sweet until you examine the Hebrew root words. The Hebrew word is Strong’s number #8356. It means the political and moral support with a moral purpose! If this be destroyed what can the righteous do? More interesting is that this Hebrew word has another root word which is Strong’s #7896. This word means to put in place and apply morality! Remember among other things King David was a politician! Did you ever hear the milk toast Christian say it does not matter who I vote for? Why should I vote? We have separation of church and state! Really? The politicians write our laws! They appoint our judges all the way to the Supreme Court! If they are evil they appoint evil judges and legislate wicked laws! They decide how much money is to be taken from your paycheck! They decide what immigrants come into our country and from where! Are your neighbors illegal immigrants? If you voted for Obama he put in gay marriage by law! With the wrong politicians your Christian faith could be criminalized! This is nothing new! Jesus predicted the destruction of the Jewish Temple 40 years before it happened in 70 A.D. After the moral foundations were broken down the Temple was burned and destroyed along with Jerusalem in 70 A.D. One hundred thousand Jewish slaves were take to Rome and built the Roman Coliseum! When moral and political foundations are broken down what happens? Slavery! Then who was persecuted in the Coliseum for three Centuries? Christians! Anti-Semitism and Christian persecution are connected! The left cries separation of church and state! However at their convenience and benefit they help to merge the two for control of the church! The tax exemption 501c is the best example put in by a Democrat the then Senator Lyndon Johnson back in the 1950’s to mute the church from speaking about his illicit affair with another woman who was not his wife! The political speech of the pulpits of America has been controlled by the State! When it comes election time the Pastor’s across the United States are mute! The bully pulpit of America is long gone! I have suggested to Trump to get rid of the 501c! If the only reason I give to the church is for a tax deduction I am spiritually bankrupt! Hitler was democratically elected! The political foundations for America is determined how you vote! The moral foundations are determined by who you vote into office! The left will scream no religious litmus test for political office and then you end up with an atheist who will oppose your faith through legislation of laws and executive actions and appointment of judges! I would suggest in 2020 your vote and for the most righteous candidate according to scriptures! James and Hamsa Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com

Gay Marriage
Legalizing gay marriage is not about making it possible for gay people to become couples! It is about giving the Left the power to force anti-religious values on our children. Once they legalize gay marriage, it will be the bludgeon they use to make sure it becomes illegal to teach traditional values in our schools. Orson Scott Card American novelist, public speaker, essayist and columnist.
Darwin, Atheism & Humanism
If you find examples of humanism which are anti-religious, or at least in opposition to the religious faith of the place and time, then such humanism is purely destructive, for it has never found anything to replace what it destroyed. Thomas S. Eliot (1888-1965), Nobel Prize Winner, 20th Century poet, essayist, publisher, playwright, social critic. Born to a prominent Boston Brahmin Family.
Darwinism, Atheism, Socialism & WWII
The issues today which confront the nation are clearly defined and so fundamental as to directly involve the very survival of the Republic. Are we going to preserve a religious base to our origin, our growth and our progress, or yield to the devious assaults of atheistic and other anti-religious forces? Are we going to maintain our present course towards State Socialism with Communism just beyond or reverse our present trend and regain our hold upon our heritage of liberty and freedom? General Douglas MacArthur, Allied Commander Pacific Region WWII.
Christmas Story
It was Christmas Eve in Brooklyn New York in 1942. The war was on and a difficult time. It was snowing in New York. A cold night as Wilber was walking down the street thinking about his past. Wilber was 98 years old and his past troubled him? He had committed crimes and betrayed his family and many friends. He was most troubled about where he would go if he died? As he went by a church he heard Christmas Carols. Then he thought I know what I can do! I will join a church and this will throw me in with all the good folks. Then I can escape hell! Wilber went into this Lutheran Church and asked the Pastor if he could join the church? The Pastor told him if he could answer one question correctly. The question is where was Jesus Christ born? Wilber thought a minute and said Pittsburg. Sorry said the Pastor you need to find another place. Wilber went back out into the snow and cold and found a Catholic Church. He went in and asked the Priest if he could join? The Priest said he could only if you can answer one question correctly. Where was Jesus Christ born? Wilber strained his brain and said Philadelphia. The Priest told Wilber he was too far gone to make a good Catholic! Down but not out Wilber hit the streets once again. The he walked by a Synagogue but it looked closed. Then he saw a light in one of the back offices so he knocked on the door. A Rabbi opened the door and invited him in. Wilber asked if he could join the Synagogue? The Rabbi said sure you can! Wilbur was perplexed? Are you going to ask me any questions? No replied the Rabbi. Wilber asked the Rabbi if he would mind if he asked him a question? Please go right ahead said the Rabbi. Where was Jesus Christ born? The Rabbi responded Bethlehem of course! Wilber replied and said, ” I knew it was in Pennsylvania some place! ” Source; Unknown. Merry Christmas! James and Hamsa Sasse.

Godly or Godless?
You are not called to believe in your love to God, but in God’s love to you. Do not argue, ‘I cannot love God! I have striven to my uttermost to do so, but I have failed in all my endeavors, until in despair I have abandoned the thought and have relinquished the attempt’. But it is so–no effort of your own can strike a spark of love to God from your heart. Nor does God demand the task at your hand. All that He requires of you is faith in His love, as embodied and expressed in Jesus Christ to you the poor sinner. Octavius Winslow (1808-1878), Famous Evangelical Baptist Pastor to England and the United States. Comment: Do not try to be God! Let God be God in you! Let His Word, His blood and His Holy Spirit live in you! Let him take residence in you! Then His eternal love not your failing human love will be expressed to you and others! James and Hamsa Sasse.

Double Credit!
1 John 1:9 Greek Translation: “If we confess consenting together with God and coming into agreement with God giving credit to another about our sins, he is faithful and trustworthy with justice as the law giver to forgiving or dismissing our sin sending us away legally clean from all unrighteousness or what is not conformed to justice and what is not right.” Comment: All disagreement with God is sin! Remember when your teacher gave you extra credit for doing more assignments? Yes it was a bribe! However it was not enough bribe for me! I could not give up fishing and hunting after school and on week-ends! I could not give up chasing down rabbits with my dog Jigs! I could not give up shooting down ducks and geese out of the sky! I could not give up pheasant and quail hunting! I could not give up deer hunting! My summer vacation was year round! Why did not my teacher just give me extra credit for coming to school? It was a sacrifice for me! I could not do these things without giving up homework! I used to tell my mom I was too smart for homework! Only stupid people have to do homework! Then she asked me why my grades were so bad? I told her these teachers cannot recognize talent! They are too dumb to see my greatness! When we confess our sins we are coming into agreement with God about our sin! Confession is a double edge sword! It is double credit! We through confession are giving credit to another! Credit to Satan author of our sin and credit to God who has redeemed us from sin! Redeem means to purchase back with a price! The price of the blood of Christ! Your credit card probably gives you redemption points or reward points. You get these rewards by paying the price of purchases on your card. You paid the price but God has paid the price for you! What is sin? Sin means to miss the true purpose of your life! Your true purpose is to worship God in whatever you do! In all that you do! Sin blocks worship! Your guilt of sin will separate you from God! No desire to worship him? No desire to be in church on Sunday? No desire to read and study your Bible? Do you even mock those who do worship God? No peace? No joy? Tithes and offerings foolish to you? No prayer life? Is there always something more important than worship? Sin produces darkness! You are overcome and restrained from worship! Are you blinded to the light? If we say we have no sin the truth is not in us! In fact God says we are a liar! Give credit where credit is due! How is your credit rating with God? Have your debts been cleared by the blood of the Lamb? When we confess our sin Satan is defeated God is glorified and you are free from guilt and shame! Free at last and free to worship God! Now acceptable to him! Confession moves you to heaven and Satan to hell! James and Hamsa Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com

Everything is foreseen, yet freedom of choice is granted! Rabbi Akiva (50-135 A.D.) He was executed by the Romans! Comment: He was twenty years old when Jerusalem fell to the Romans in 70 A.D.

He saw thousands of Jews killed and one hundred thousand Jewish slaves taken back to Rome to build the Roman Coliseum! He saw the treasury of the Temple taken back to Rome to build construction projects there! The prophecies made by Jesus have still not all come to pass yet! The prophecies about Jesus made by the Jewish Rabbi’s hundreds of years before his birth are still alive today! The prophecies about the end times made by Jesus will come to pass! You still have to make a choice about Jesus! To receive him or reject him will still confirm his prophecies! Be on the right side of redemption rather on the wrong side of judgment!
