The Fear of God is the Beginning

Do we fear God? Ask most so-called Christians if they fear God, and listen to what they say. It is a great way to see if someone is really a true Christian. Most people who say they are Christian will say they don’t fear God, which means they haven’t even begun the Christian walk or journey. The Holy Bible is clear that the fear of God is the beginning. Without the fear of God, there is no respect, there is no submission, there is no faith. Proverbs 1:7 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction. Proverbs 9:10 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding. Proverbs 14:27 The fear of the LORD is a fountain of life, to depart from the snares of death. Proverbs 15:33 The fear of the LORD is the instruction of wisdom; and before honour is humility. Proverbs 16:6 By mercy and truth iniquity is purged: and by the fear of the LORD men depart from evil. Proverbs 19:23 The fear of the LORD tendet...

Holy Bible's Description of Modern America

The generalized character of people in the end times. 2 Timothy 3: 1-7 1 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. 2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, 4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasure more than lovers of God; 5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof; from such turn away. 6 For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts, 7 Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. With scriptures like this one, how accurate is the Holy Bible? The absolute wisdom and poignant truths given are supernaturally derived, one must conclude. The cycles of humanity have always reached highs and lows in the process of our journey to the present, y...

Blind Leading the Blind Into a Ditch of Destruction

Most people are out of God's order. Luke 6:39 And he spake a parable unto them, Can the blind lead the blind? shall they not both fall into the ditch? Jesus speaking tells us something that seems obvious, but let’s think about it some more. Isn’t this what is going on in our country, in our states, in our counties, in our cities, in our workplaces, in our institutions, in our governments, and in our homes? Bad leadership. See, leadership that isn’t in God’s order is going to fail, it is blind people leading the blind. If we aren’t in God’s order and leading people according to God’s Word, then we are blind and those who follow are blindly following us. 1 Corinthians 11:3 But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God. BTW, I only read the KJV 1611 AV, as that is the inspired version for English speaking people. That is the best version of those that came from the Reformation. The New Age Bibles ha...

No Pics, No AI, No Mask, No Test, No Shot, No Medium, No Vocal, No NWO BS

Just say no. I’ve been writing online since 2013 when All Voices was a citizen journalism platform. Since then I’ve written on dozens of platforms, including my own blogs, and the one consistent is I always had to include a picture. Well, I’m tired of including a picture! I don’t care about the viewing pleasure of supposed readers, neither will I continue to insult their reading ability, by putting a picture at the top of my articles so they can be drawn in. Plus, I’m just too lazy at this point. Who cares about the picture? The algorithms, the SEO, the people with attention deficit disorder, etc. Too bad. Why should I care to source a picture anymore, when the people who read my articles are reading them for the words? Screw the picture. And screw the AI too. I just want to brag a little. I have never used an AI tool, whatever they are called, I have never used one. That to me is a badge of honor, and I never will. Just like I never tested for a supposed virus that has never been isol...

In the Furnace of Affliction

Isaiah 48:10 Behold, I have refined thee, but not with silver; I have chosen thee in the furnace of affliction. Sometimes this life seems like a furnace of affliction. Yes, some more than others. Maybe for some it will come later, or maybe they aren’t God’s chosen and won’t be chastened, or refined. Revelation 3:19 As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent. While there is part of me that rejoices that perhaps it is because God is working in me is why things seem hard, yet there is part of me that is sort of pissed off about it all. Hebrews 12:11 Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby. All the while, the world is going to shit, and it never seems we can do enough or break through to certain people, to change things for the better. Really, we are limited in many things, yet in other things maybe we aren’t, yet we limi...

Plugging Along

Press enter or click to view image in full size The simple things are profound. Hello friends, hope this finds you well and in good health. I remember seeing this comic strip where an older man with a gut and grey hair saw a “hiring” sign at a fast food restaurant and thought it was a good opportunity. The theme of the strip was that he was a plugger — plugging along. That must have been about 20 years ago it seems, but it stuck with me in my journey of plugging along myself. So much was said in that little one picture comic strip. Our journey down here on God’s earth is full of plugging along moments; where our attitude and perspective really make the difference in the type of life we live. Not everyone gets the glory or the recognition. Most of us just work in the shadows plugging along with our lives, trying to do the right thing, trying to keep our heads afloat in the waters of hustle and bustle. I think what I liked about that comic strip was the humility of the cartoon character....

What Would Draining the Swamp Accomplish?

Does humanity have the solutions for the human condition? Most of us would agree that there is a “swamp” in the power structure that needs to be dealt with and removed, yet what would happen if this actually happened? The bigger question is: Can humanity solve the problem of the human condition? The human condition is a modern way of saying we are under the curse of sin and death. We are fallen and naturally disposed for destruction. If we remained fallen without being redeemed by the faith of Jesus Christ, wouldn’t removing the swamp just be a temporary solution? Wouldn’t the swamp just come back and take over power again eventually? This may sound like a black pill perspective to those looking for solutions from humans instead of God, and in truth, it is a fatalistic perspective when it comes to humans being able to solve the problems of fallen humanity. See, if somehow we were able to drain the swamp and remove the bad apples from the power structure, they would simply come back int...

Hive Mind Control

It tells you what to think about and believe. Many people are frustrated and angry at all the injustices we see today in the world, and rightly so, yet who are we angry with? The enemy seems to be elusive, amorphous, and hidden behind patsy boogie men, the powers to be put in front of us to hate. Who is the enemy? For Christians, we believe in a supernatural enemy, yet who are the workers of iniquity that the Bible speaks about, who does the work for this supernatural enemy? Ultimately, these are deceiving times, which means deception is being used to control our minds and hearts. Yet, how is this being done? It makes sense that online technology is the main tool being used to deceive the masses. Online technology is being used to form a “Hive Mind”, which is being used to control the masses. The hive mind is run by big data analytics, algorithms, and what they now call AI. It has always been AI, yet the hive mind wants us to think this is something new. The internet has always been AI...

Time and Technology Are Overwhelming Us

As the world turns, so do the days of our lives… The line from the soap opera “Days of Our Lives,” which was on in the 80s and 90s. My grandma used to watch those shows along with “Highway to Heaven.” I remember watching some of them with her, which seems like a lifetime ago. Time and technology are interesting topics in my mind. Time for how it is hard to describe, difficult to analyze in its impact and scope. Technology for how it is taking over our lives and conditioning us in immeasurable ways. In general, time and technology are moving faster than my ability to understand them in any coherent way; in any way that helps me make sense of their impact in my life or society in general. While time has been a constant factor in measuring the change that occurs for our ever-dying and decaying human bodies, technology has come about with a vicious agenda, a hyper-intensified importance and progression. Technology has rapidly changed our perception of time; in my opinion, it has sped up ou...

Working in the Addiction Field

Press enter or click to view image in full size Why being a Substance Use Disorder counselor is meaningful. Why being a Substance Use Disorder counselor is meaningful. Recently, I was hired to work as an addiction counselor for substance use disorders. The official title is Certified Drug and Alcohol Counselor (CADC) intern, or a Substance Use Disorder counselor (SUD). I wanted to explain why this is a meaningful field to work in. When looking at the statistics for substance abuse in the U.S., the numbers are significant, yet they don’t or can’t tell the entire story. These stats are gathered mostly from the self-disclosure of people being surveyed or screened/treated for substance abuse; this means the stats exclude people not screened or treated, and include people being dishonest about their answers. A few interesting stats ( U.S. population: 347 million ): 29.8 million individuals have an Alcohol Use Disorder in the U.S (NCDAS, 2023). 134.3 million individuals have used alcohol wit...

Is Efficiency More Valuable than Reality?

Growth requires failures and errors, yet technology is removing these for efficiency and convenience. Maybe the most important question 21st-century citizens should ask is: “What level of technology do we need to live healthy and balanced lives in this world?” Why do we need online technology at all? Why do we need smartphones? Why do we need AI? And, importantly, what price will society pay for these technologies? Is the price worth whatever benefits these technologies offer? At this point, the prudent answer would be no, they are not worth the price, because, for one, they aren’t necessary, and two, they are detrimental to our character, development, and individual freedoms. The main theme for the integration of online automation technologies in business and personal use is efficiency; it will streamline processes, take away mundane tasks, and all without pesky human error. The problem is, people have a hard time arguing with efficiency, but is it the most important thing in life — d...

Future Freedom = Being Without Online Technology

Online technology was created to control humanity. One thing we can all agree on is that online/smart technology will only increase and become more integrated into our lives in the future, even at an exponential rate, as technological advancement reaches singularity. Therefore, we can conclude with deductive reasoning that our individual freedom will only be achieved without said technology. If this technology, manifested with AI automation, is going to be used to control us in every aspect of our lives, then freedom will not exist. Freedom is not just doing everything the controllers tell you to do or get punished, it is being free to do what you want do, under the natural law of treating others as you would want to be treated (do no harm physically to others, don’t steal or damage property/possessions of others, etc.). The near future is going to be defined by how technology is used to control humanity; it will be done under the guise of something other than control, but that is the ...

Is Your Writing System Holding You Back from Being Productive?

I think mine is. When I first started writing online back in 2013, I wrote for only one website called Allvoices — a contributor news site. How simple my online writing system was then compared to what it has turned into over the last 12 years. Now, I have too many sites to syndicate on, too many social media sites to share to, and overall just too large of a writing system to be productive. Crazy part is I’ve shaved it down to what it is now; it was larger and even bulkier before. One thing I won’t do is give up on trying to build a system that enhances instead of hinders my online writing efforts; I’m not there yet as it stands. I wonder how much more I would write if I didn’t have to spend an hour syndicating and sharing each article? If I could just write an article and maybe spend 5 minutes on sharing and syndicating it? As it is now, I have five platforms to syndicate with and ten social sites to share on. My system hinders my writing and keeps me from wanting to write because of...

City of the Damned

The people have been spoiled by wealth and ease The city is a place to hide for the damned Wicked hearts full of evil Fearful and suspecting Not able to discern evil or good As they judge everyone according to status and money They’ve lost something important Yet are unaware of the tragedy They’ve been conditioned They’ve been brainwashed By a targeted social engineering program The city is full of pride Haughty people in vain pursuits People who love money and pleasure People who don’t fear God, nor think they are mortal They are ignorant of their miserable state They mistake it for a cloak of glory When it is a rotten rag that stinks like sin Fake smiles and conversations Fearful motives as they accuse and manipulate They destroy and cause chaos With their lies and deceit All those who have discernment should stay far away From the city of the damned

Thrown in the Trash by NewsBreak

Out with the old, in with the robots. My time writing for NewsBreak is now over. The upstart news app used writers like me to get their bandwagon going, and now it has discarded us after becoming respectable in the realm of news. I can’t blame them when it comes to me, as I’ve been writing opinion pieces exclusively for the last year. I started out writing local news articles about Oregon, but changed my strategy because of time constraints. I would take news articles from Oregon and rewrite them basically; not with AI, just with my noggin. Some did well, others were stalled by their algorithm. I could never tell if an article would do well or not. All in all, I made more money with NB than any other writing effort online besides copywriting. This brings me a lot of satisfaction with my time there, but sadly, it has come to an end. Recently, they sent me an email explaining they are going to make all the contributors reapply to be a contributor, as their strategy has changed; something...

The Most Discriminated People Are Not Who You Think

The physically unattractive, socially awkward, and poor are the most discriminated people. In America, social engineers have brainwashed us to believe minorities and women are the most discriminated people in our country and the world, yet is this really true? Using common sense, we can see this isn’t true in modern America, and even in the past. We can see clearly the most discriminated people in our country and the world are those who are physically unattractive, socially awkward, and poor. Physical Unattractiveness Physical unattractiveness is probably the top discrimination factor in the world. A person born like this will find they are not chosen for many things because of this unfortunate factor. They might be outgoing and friendly, which will help mitigate this problem, but they will invariably experience a completely different reality than a physically attractive person. We’re talking about not being chosen for jobs and friendships, and how they are treated in daily life by peo...

Brainwashed Into Low-Functioning Morons

When being normal is deemed crazy in a land of morons. Stay in the present and hold the line, as the machine-gun fire of death could be heard ever so clearly. People were falling dead and maimed with every shot given by the hateful enemy. The gruesome scene was covered in scarlet and purple with precious jewels in goblets of wine. The ancient agenda, the lockstep effort, and the social engineering program were ongoing and ever-expanding into the ears and souls of hapless victims, born and raised in the lie. How would they ever know? When the truth was told to them, they simply heard nonsense, madness — how could that be? Meanwhile, the war was waging, silent weapons, deceitful explanations told by greedy sell-outs, ignorant fools, heartless controllers, and brainwashed simpletons. The society was full of low-functioning morons — the diabolical objective was working. Behind pretense and seemingly logical rational, the management of the morons continued into the dawn of a new age; a gold...

Between a Rock and a Hard Place in America

The inevitable cycle of conspiracy and deceit until sin and death are destroyed forever by Jesus Christ. The world is in between a rock and a hard place when it comes to politics and current affairs. There is no way out of the problems we’ve created without the majority of people walking in the Holy Spirit. As it is, the vast majority of people are walking in the flesh, including me too much of the time. The modern world has been created to take us away from the spiritual, from faith in the Holy Bible. Technology in the form of television, the internet, and smartphones are the final tools needed to thwart our faith and set us up for deception. The old-time Christian revivals, even just over a hundred years ago before television are essentially not possible anymore with smartphones around. Smartphones and technology are too stimulating and distracting for people to commune with God like we used to. In my opinion, real Christian revival isn’t possible anymore with this technology. The Ho...
