One Book

So many books out nowadays would have never been published 40 years ago. Books that target specific immoral issues infecting our society. Some would say I don't read books anymore. Any information I need is online. But here is the main difference.  Books can be around for hundreds of years. Online information can change almost daily. The books printed today could still have an impact on those who read them later on. The unethical, unrighteous, and evil words on the pages of some books will possibly influence future societies.

One book has been around as long as 600 B.C., and a newer version about 1,800 years ago. It has all the information one would need to live a good and moral life and learn from the mistakes of others. It is in some way, an encyclopedia of life and death.  And today, it is the most popular book ever printed, which is the Bible. 

If you have one, pick it up and re-read it. If you don't, find one, because it will change your life forever.

Has evil become a regular part of society?

On any day, reports of evil have become a regular part of society.  I believe the tipping point for all of this was the pandemic. The isolation of people, the churches that closed, and the rioting in cities and, this is just a few to mention. These events caused an effect that spread worldwide. 

25 years ago, the times seemed steady, nothing major besides the norm stuff of everyday life. And a few years later, the 9/11 attacks created a sense of unity of good vs. evil and lasted a few years until the next transition, the global war on terrorism. As anyone can see, the chain of evil events afterward increased more intensity. 

World history will consistently demonstrate events of good vs. evil. But what makes this time so different is the acceptance of evil. In the past, good has always been the dominating force in fighting the bad. But now, evil has become the dominating force against good. 

A simple way to observe this is to take in all the news for just a few days and think about how it would have been perceived 25 years ago. Here are a few examples, drag queens at Storytime in local libraries, parents letting their children decide if they want to be a boy or a girl, men competing in women's sporting events, and mass shootings. Society twenty-five years ago would have deemed this outrageous and unacceptable. 

The unacceptable is still unacceptable! The one thing that has changed is evil has become the dominating influence and has convinced those who once knew the difference between good and evil now believe in just the opposite. 

We must return to the true good, the Truth in God. For thousands of years, the principle set forth from the moment God gave us the Ten Commandments, we are obligated to follow the rules set for us by our Creator. God set these Commandments for a good reason, they are timeless, and along the teaching of Jesus Christ, we have all that we need to fight against the evil in the world.

The Smoke Screen

Living the faith of Christ can be difficult. We go about daily life with all the interjections of evil surrounding us. But sometimes, the bombardments from the evil one are difficult to see.

It's almost like a smoke screen, the enemy is firing rounds at us, and we do not know where it is coming from. We do not understand why we are reacting to the influence the enemy has on us. 

The difficulty is understanding good and evil. This may seem like a simple solution. We all know what good is but is the good disguised as evil in reality. After all, he is known as the Bible tells us satan is the master of lies. Evil is a master in deceiving us to believe into believing that something evil would be perceived as good. 

The resolve is just as difficult to see, but as the devil is attacking us non-stop, we should be in non-stop prayer and examining our conscience to see through the smoke screen.

What's Next?

 As we enter November, all types of predictions are coming about at the end of the year. Predictions of economic collapse to significant supply chain issues and food shortages. No one can really say what is going to happen. But could there be underlying propaganda to just stir things up? I think so.  And it might not necessarily be the government. It could be grouped with financial support such as George Soros.  We saw most of his funding go to the Black Lives Matter protest in 2020. The problem is the unknown agenda of the progressives. We can speculate all we want, but until the evil plan makes headline news, we can only hope that we can counter the movement with the goodness of God's graces to fight it. 

Quote about evil

 

Scott Hahn

What is the cause?

The world seems to be going crazy. All the recent tragic events have been the root cause of evil.  Everyone is trying to analyze the true causes and blame, but the real presence of demons is the real cause.

God did not create us to be evil. We are born into this world as good as God intended, but evil does exist and influences the world.

We must pray every day to guard against evil.

St. Michael Prayer

Saint Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle. Be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him we humbly pray; and do Thou, O Prince of the Heavenly Host, by the Power of God, cast into hell Satan and all the evil spirits, who prowl through the world seeking the ruin of souls.  Amen.

A Bigger Plan

Is it just me or is the world in a tail spin?

I really try to keep up with the latest news, mostly local news but it seems lately whatever goes on in another country is now affecting our country.

Events in the past few years seem to be part of a bigger plan. Who is implementing this plan? and what is actually happening.

• Worldwide pandemic 
• Global supply chain crisis
• US government out of control
• Ground war in Europe against a world power with the potential for nuclear war.

First source of all the above is evil and George Soros. Evil is the influencer to Soros and all those who follow his plan including the World Economic Forum.  And what makes this so concerning is the amount of money and influence this "bigger plan" has and we cannot see or predict what is coming next. The plan did not happen in a few weeks it has taken years to get to this point.

Advice: Read the Holy Bible - Old and New Testament. You will learn the greatness of God and understand His words to us on how resist and battle against Satan. Study history, the currents events can be traced back to past similar historical events. What we are experiencing is nothing new. The only element that makes this different is technology.

Pray to the Lord our God for help to get us through this time.
