Thoughts lead on to purposes, purposes go forth in action, actions form habits, habits decide character, and character fixes our destiny! Tyron Edwards (1809-1894) Note: Tyron was the great grandson of Jonathan Edwards!

National Emblem!
For my own part, I wish the bald eagle had not been chosen the representative of our country! He is a bird of bad moral character! He does not get his living honestly! Benjamin Franklin Comment: Dear Mr. Franklin, He only kills for food like you and I. He does not kill for revenge and out of anger! He does not live on food stamps! When I get to Heaven I will explain that one! He is not dependent on the government! He does not get a welfare check! Again explain to you in Heaven! He actually works for a living! He builds his own house! He helps control populations! He has never told a lie! Just like George! Should we have chosen the vulture for our National emblem? He keeps our highways clean! He does not disturb the living! He probably would more accurately represent our government! So you ask me what emblem would best describe the American taxpayer? Road Kills! James and Hamsa Sasse.

John 1:14 Greek Translation
The written word was formed in human nature and lived among us! We beheld His shining splendor of His Image and character as the only Son of the Father and God confirming the relieving of the misery of sin through forgiveness and the reality of His internal and external character!
Do You Know This Person?

Your character is not built upon success unless you suffer failures first! James and Hamsa Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com
America’s Greatest Threat? Romans 1:28
Is it external? Russia, China or Iran? Is it internal? Financial, political or social? Is it Islamic terrorists? Is it the divide between liberalism and conservatives? All the greatest minds cannot seem to unwrap the mystery of our decline? If we would just get the right people in office or throw a few more billion dollars at it? If the government would just take over then we would be secure! If we could just get rid of certain groups of people? The answer is clear but you will not find it in the Halls of Congress, the Senate or the White House! However our Pastor Oscar Cope in a little old Baptist Church down in Fairburn Georgia has it figured out! Last Sunday morning he told us that the real problem in America is that her people are losing their consciousness of God! He is not in their thoughts! They are unconscious of God! They are brain dead towards God! They are in denial of Him and trying to live without Him! They are dis-functional in their thoughts! So what fills the vacuum left by a dis-functional mind? Many things! Atheism, communism, fascism, evolution(Junk Science), liberalism, false religions, secularism and whatever man can invent to fill the void! God has warned us in fact Paul wrote over 2000 years ago in our Bible about the threat to any culture! God has promised us Blessings or doom if we reject Him! Here is the Greek Translation of Romans 1:28. “And even as they did not prove to retain God in their acknowledgement, God gave them over to a worthless immoral intellect to promote those things that are descending in moral character!” Comment: Is there any proof in your life that you have acknowledged God by living a moral life before God and man? If you want that kind of knowledge you are going to have to work towards it! You need to read and study your Bible everyday for the rest of your life! If you are to busy you are too busy! Thankyou.

Mary’s Song! Luke 1:53
“He hath filled the hungry with good character and the rich He hath sent away empty!” Comment: Are you hungry for God? Do you have an appetite for uprightness and virtue? Are you rich in character? Are you starved for righteousness? Are you dying of bad character? Is your gas tank for good character running on empty? Are morally bankrupt! I am glad you asked! You cannot give unless you have something to give! God gave His best gift to you! We cannot horde Jesus and keep Him for ourselves! If God did that we would not have been given life or seen the light of day! God so loved the world that He gave! Giving is an act of God! You have givers and takers! If the Christian gift of Christ is living inside you then you want to give! The best gift i could put under your Christmas tree is Jesus Christ! Wise men still seek Him! How about you? Merry Christmas! James and Hamsa Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com
Political Advice! 2 Samuel 23:3
The God of Israel said, The Rock of Israel spoke to me, “He that ruleth over men must be just, ruling in the fear of God!” Comment: The Rock used here refers to the God that is a refuge of protection over Israel. God’s shelter over her! A just man is one who lives his life in conformity to law. He lives his life according to legal standards. He lives his life according to God’s standard. He is innocent as opposed to the lawless wicked! Rulers that fear God will respect men! Rulers that fear men will destroy men! History is full of Godless men that destroyed men! Worse yet are those that destroy men in the name of God! Islam comes to mind! The election season is fast approaching! Be sure you know the character of the people you are voting for! Never vote party line but character! Thankyou. James and Hamsa Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com
What Do Election’s Show Us?
Nearly all men can handle adversity, but if you want to test a man’s character, give him power! Abraham Lincoln
Look Outside The Box!
No one has to be taught to trust in themselves! No one has to be taught that what you experience inside yourself is more authoritative than what comes to you externally, even if it comes from God! Since the Fall, it has been part of our character to look within ourselves! Michael Horton Comment: All sin comes from within. Salvation comes externally independent of our existence!

Ben Carson for President!
As you follow the debates as responsible American citizens I have noticed one important fact! They all for except one cut each other down in character attacks! The exception is Benjamin Carson! He comes up with idea’s that will save America from her slippery slope to destruction! When you listen to debate’s on both sides listen for idea’s not rhetoric and character assassinations!
