Exodus 20:2-3 (NASB) ²  "I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery.
³  "You shall have no other gods before Me.

Early post this week.

A personal, random commentary this week. It's everywhere isn't it? On the tele, in print, all over social media, the conversation centers around one dominating topic these days. Terrorism or extremism as that is the preferred catchword these days. (Watch out, that change in wording is dangerous) At any rate, we are reading about it, we are writing about it, we are ranting about it, and now we are going to be global summiting about it. It has seeped into every crack and crevice of our daily life, attempting to instill fear into our hearts. And to be honest it has succeeded on a national level. We now, in this writer's opinion are charting a course based on appeasement and tolerance, rather than confrontation. The machine rolls on, imposing its will on our lives; while more and more of us become anesthetized by the pursuit of the blessings and quality of life. A better description might be just to survive. There is a war going on and it is a class war waged by a privileged few against the rest of us, no matter one's creed or color.  To be honest, this whole grand drama being played out is by design don't you think? I read the other day that it is now viewed as virtuous to tolerate all the various viewpoints(especially religious) as opposed to proclaiming the truth. It was at that point that the Spirit spoke those verses in my heart.

It was if He was saying this to me "Wait a minute here. What's all this commotion about? Have you forgotten Ronnie just who is running this show? "  As I thought about that, I wondered at all the councils, all the meetings, all the money, not to mention the HUMAN cost that is being sacrificed to appease this god. All the while the one true God sits on His throne and .......smiles.

Psalm 2:1-4 (NASB) ¹  Why are the nations in an uproar And the peoples devising a vain thing?
²  The kings of the earth take their stand And the rulers take counsel together Against the LORD and against His Anointed, saying  
³  "Let us tear their fetters apart And cast away their cords from us!"
⁴  He who sits in the heavens laughs, The Lord scoffs at them.

 The kings of this earth believe that they are calling the shots. They believe that rule this earth with autonomy. When in reality they are nothing more than players whose strings are being pulled by forces they have no idea even exist. Spiritual rulers in high places. 


Brothers and sisters, I am in no way attempting to minimize the threat that has raised it's head against us in this country. In fact, I am of the belief that we won't have to worry about radical Islam taking this nation over by force. Nope, given time we will vote them in. Oh, they may not fit the stereotype we see today. They may wear coats and ties or dresses. But, they will serve the same agenda as those terrorists do today. The day is coming when anyone who proclaims the TRUE message of God,the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ, will bear the label extremist. The day is coming and is already here when free speech will be limited to only that speech that is not incendiary or offensive. Heaven (and earth) forbid that anyone preach "Repent for the Kingdom of God is at hand." And believe me, it will be forbidden.

Look back at that verse again, the first six words. "I am the LORD your (italics mine) God..."  The day is coming, and already is when Christians of all shapes,sizes, and persuasions will be fair game. The day is coming when The One True God MUST become YOUR God. The day is coming when the T.V. won't do.There may not be a  man of God to watch much less a  church to go to. At that time we, you and me, will need to know God for ourselves. It is a smart play if we start right now don't you think? Let's get a hold of Him. He is not only the one true God, He is the one and ONLY God. He will have NO other gods before Him.

Psalm 2:10-12 (NASB) ¹⁰  Now therefore, O kings, show discernment; Take warning, O judges of the earth.
¹¹  Worship the LORD with reverence And rejoice with trembling.
¹²  Do homage to the Son, that He not become angry, and you perish in the way, For His wrath may soon be kindled. How blessed are all who take refuge in Him!

God Bless
