Donald I am so appreciative of your postings and your strong belief in God and of what is right. My only reason for being on this site was to plant seed and let people know that God is real and he loves these people and want’s a relationship with them and above all, he is the answer for any problem we face in this nation and world for that matter. But we also have to keep in mind that this is exactly what God said would take place in these end times. A great falling away of the truth. The world will continue to decline rapidly, we were warned of this and again we can only plant seed and it is only God that decides as to whether he wants that seed to take root. God’s children are can do type people and although it will only get worse, we as children of God can cut it. And believe me, you know that God is in control and he will use whom ever he chooses to accomplish his intended goal. He will use his enemies as well as his children. Also, keep in mind that as Christians, we have read the back of the book and we have the victory. Don’t let people get to you, know that what you are doing in trying to bring about a message of hope in God and change in peoples hearts towards God, remember that the word of God does not return void. Plant those seeds and then let it go.You have done your job and nothing is to be gained by beating a dead horse. The word of God clearly states that we are not to cast our pearls before swine. That means that we are to plant the seeds of the good news of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and if no man should want for hearing it, we are to kick the dust from our shoes and move on. Most people on this site know where I stand with God and I am slandered all the time because I tell them the truth, and they are not happy about that, this is to be expected. The Bible clearly states, that we will be persecuted for his name sake. So I am in no way supprised. They nailed Jesus to a cross. God said that because man wanted to believe the lies, he would send them strong delusions in these end times. He also said that this was the generation of the fig tree and that this generation surely will not pass away without all these prophesies comming to pass and being fulfilled. So keep up the good work, it is not in vain as there may be a person who God uses you to lead another into salvation. God bless you always, Elaine :))

Good morning Catherine, I am very pleased that you have a love and dependance on God, as you are right, we would not make it through this world without him. I also understand your feelings as to Donald appearing to come on a little strong, yet at the same time I wholeheartedly understand from which point he takes his stand. He is angry at what this nation has become. He is watching the rights of the unborn become an issue that has lost the real relavance of that that it should be. We have become a nation where we claim to want rights for all it’s citizens, yet the most precious of all our resources, is being slaughtered as nothing more than an inconvience, instead of the life that it is. Catherine, these are God’s children and God had a purpose for them and people are playing God, and taking that decision right out from underneath his hands.We are anation that detests evil and crookedness in our government and it’s leaders, yet we elect officials that have been steeped in coruption, and wonder why it is that time and time again, they abuse us and the trust that bestowed on them. we throw our hands in the air and are exasperated and all because we keep putting garbage in and can only expect garbage out. We have lost all sense of what is right and wrong in this world and it all begins with leaving God out of the equation. We don’t want to listen to God as if we did, we would have to change those things within us, that inhibit God from truly blessing us as a people and a nation. He, Donald is angry, just as the rest of the people in this Nation that love God and try to live by his precepts. But, it goes beyond this world for us, it is the hereafter that we are most concerned, as this is where the rubber will ultimately meet the road and for me as well as all true Christians, it is about wanting, not one to perishing. We all know that if people would listen to God and realize what he want’s for us, we would not be in the straights that we are currently in. My post to Donald was not about quieting him as that is not what God wants. It was more about the way God wants us as Christians, to be fishers of man and when a man fishes he is not to take the anchor and throw it at the fish but rather, cast his net ever so gently and allow for the fish to slightly nibble at the bait and therefore the fishermen are then able to reel them in. In other words, to plant the seeds and tell the people what it is they are doing wrong in the eyes of God without the beating them over the head. I myself garner enough anger at just putting that truth out there, that it is not necessary for me to beat one over the head, LOL. Example, the post I wrote to you about abortion, you handled that beautifully and were receptive to the message and yet that same message, was not well recieved on another post and I understand as the woman that took great issue, was infact a woman who had had many abortions. My post was never intended to beat her over the head and condemn her but to let her know that no matter what the reason, the murder of innocent children is wrong. And this was stated well before her mention of having had several abortions. I know that abortions trouble women as there is an inheirent nature in women that is built in to protect, perserve and nurture life. That was given women by God, therefore natural. So I can sympathize that in their state of minds at the time they felt no other way out. But my message to women and men is that there is always the right way out of something. And God promised us that he would never leave us nor forsake us and would show his love even further, by showing us a way out. He in turn would never show us a way out, that would go against the very grain of his teachings. In other words, God’s way is a win/win situation for all involved. It is just a matter of us trusting God to show us his promises. God does not fail us, we fail in trusting to believe him enough to follow through. Again, I throughly understand your position on how some of Donalds postings can appear angry, but, try and take the truth’s in his postings and know that it is no woman or man that he hates here, he just hates the things that are so wrong with this world and at the same time, he to is being attacked for the message he is putting out there. Whether any of us wishes to admit it Catherine, we are indeed in the end times and God is no longer parked outside the house, he is right ready to rap on the door, it’s literally that close. Cathering I want you to know beyond a shadow of a doubt that God did not create the handicap that your child has but he sure knew who would be the best one in all the world to raise that child and provide the ultimate in love and care for your son. That speaks volumes for you. God knew of all the people in this world, you were that special person above all others. You are indeed richly blessed. And I too, applaude you for being that person! Blessings to you throughout your day. :)
