WISDOM
7 In that night God appeared to Solomon, and said to him, “Ask what I shall give you.” 8 And Solomon said to God, “You have shown great and steadfast love to David my father, and have made me king in his place. 9 O Lord God, let your word to David my father be now fulfilled, for you have made me king over a people as numerous as the dust of the earth. 10 Give me now wisdom and knowledge to go out and come in before this people, for who can govern this people of yours, which is so great?”
11 God answered Solomon, “Because this was in your heart, and you have not asked for possessions, wealth, honor, or the life of those who hate you, and have not even asked for long life, but have asked for wisdom and knowledge for yourself that you may govern my people over whom I have made you king,
12 wisdom and knowledge are granted to you. I will also give you riches, possessions, and honor, such as none of the kings had who were before you, and none after you shall have the like.” 13 So Solomon came from the high place at Gibeon, from before the tent of meeting, to Jerusalem. And he reigned over Israel. 2 Chronicles 1:7-11
29 And God gave Solomon wisdom and understanding beyond measure, and breadth of mind like the sand on the seashore, 30 so that Solomon’s wisdom surpassed the wisdom of all the people of the east and all the wisdom of Egypt. 31 For he was wiser than all other men.”
1 Kings 4:29-31
34 And people of all nations came to hear the wisdom of Solomon and from all the kings of the earth, who had heard of his wisdom.
1 Kings 4:34
1 “My son, if you receive my words and treasure up my commandments with you, 2 making your ear attentive to wisdom and inclining your heart to understand yes, if you call out for insight and raise your voice for understanding, 4 if you seek it like silver and search for it as for hidden treasures,
5 then you will understand the fear of the Lord and find the knowledge of God. 6 For the Lord gives wisdom; from his mouth come knowledge and understanding; 7 he stores up sound wisdom for the upright; he is a shield to those who walk in integrity,
8 guarding the paths of justice and watching over the way of his saints. 9 Then you will understand righteousness and justice and equity, every good path; 10 for wisdom will come into your heart, and knowledge will be pleasant to your soul; 11 discretion will watch over you, understanding will guard you,12 delivering you from the way of evil, from men of perverted speech,
13 who forsake the paths of uprightness to walk in the ways of darkness, 14 who rejoice in doing evil and delight in the perverseness of evil, 15 men whose paths are crooked, and who are devious in their ways. 16 So you will be delivered from the forbidden woman, from the adulteress with her smooth words, 17 who forsakes the companion of her youth and forgets the covenant of her God; 18 for her house sinks down to death, and her paths to the departed; 19 none who go to her come back nor do they regain the paths of life.
20 So you will walk in the way of the goodand keep to the paths of the righteous. 21 For the upright will inhabit the land and those with integrity will remain in it, 22 but the wicked will becut off from the land, and the treacherous will be rooted out of it.” Proverbs 2:1-22

NOTES
God established the family, the church, and the state. The Communists Manifesto seeks to destroy family, and the church, and give power to the state.
America was founded on the concept of individualism. The purpose of the state was to protect and not rule over the people. The American government was created to be the servant and not the master of this nation.
Paradigm = A framework with which you interpret evidence.
Science isn`t just about evidence but how you interpret the evidence.
What we are seeing now with gender identity has nothing to do with reality, facts, or science but rather a self-serving ideology of sin that ignores God and truth. It is shameful that we would tolerate anyone teaching vulnerable and impressionable children that they can pick what sex they are.
This is what the result of removing God from a government and nation looks like. Morally, things are declining at a rapid pace which all have consequences and leave behind a trail of heartache and destruction. Teaching children that all sex is fine is like throwing them into a pit of poisonous snakes and telling them to have fun.
We have a bunch of confused adults teaching children dangerous lies and misinformation and it needs to stop yesterday!
Evolution = change over time
Evolution = no one times nothing equals everything
Evolution = is a lie
Fascism was a term that originated with Mussolini (now there is a great role model) and means a merger of the state and corporate sectors to achieve a level of uniformity. You know like the Democratic party and big tech using your money to take all of your rights away.
And who do you suppose determines what that uniformity looks like for the average person? This dictatorship style of rule is gonna make people so very sorry that they let freedom go. If it was so amazing then why are people not lining up to get into China and North Korea?
The federal government gives special protection to Social Media and at the same time allows social media to violate your constitutional rights through censorship and discrimination as well as intentionally spreading false information and withholding the truth.
They have become a political weapon of mass deception for the far-left democratic party. Our government is supposed to serve and protect us yet is siding with and protecting the private sector when it lines us with their ideology or personal gains.
If you still think that everything is fine and believe all the garbage spewed out from media and this wicked unelected adminsitraion, maybe you should take a look up at the sky….Oh my, is that a CCP Spy plane I see casually flying above American soil? Why yes it is and that in direct violation of international and US law and is an act of war. DUH!! “Well, I suppose we will just monitor it.” HUH?? They are smokin crack in D.C. if they expecft us to believe a word they say. They allowed this and knew long b4 it got here it was coming. They have long ago sold us out to the CCP.
On platforms that have been most guilty of censorship,discrimination and flat out lies, YouTube is near the very top. Yet they have the audacity to advertise against misinformation? Hang on there missy, its YOU!!! They have deplatformed and censored any and everyone who has moral fiber left in their body.
We have a massive bureaucracy that has been created in America and who are not accountable to the people.
These non-elected people are given the power to create more laws and rules than congress.
Now that we have a lost culture that is being led by the most radical and extreme views ( which are both hypocritical and evil ) we are reaping the rewards. Violent and planned attacks in society from very young children are becoming more common. What did people expect the results to be from teaching generations that they are nothing more than animals accountable to no one?
They are no more than some fluke cosmic accident and need to ignore all the evidence which loudly declares that God is.
all of the protection for young children and they are exposed. Kids can see all, hear all, and experience all with the internet which seems to have replaced the family in the raising of our youth.
Ruling through executive orders and mandates sounds a lot like Hitler to me.
If you and I will not comply then they will have to indoctrinate our children in schools through sex education, critical race theory, re-writing history, and evolution. Remove God, prayer, and common sense, and replace them with the failed and wicked ideology of Karl Marx.
Collectivism = A broad group of ideologies that includes Left Wing, Liberalism, Natzism, Marxism, Fascism, Socialism, and Communism. Each of these would be like different flavors of ice cream but still ice cream. So think of these as different versions the Collectivism where the State is all-important. With each of these ideologies, the individual must be sacrificed for the greater good and for the more significant number as determined by the state.
The end game is total control of the population from birth to death. The state is not the protector but the master of the people.
Freedom cannot exist where people have become ignorant, passive, and immoral.
Socialism grants the government the authority to make most economic decisions and choose how to allocate scarce government resources based on what it determines to be most useful to society as a whole.
The collective will continue to create crises by attacking everything and anything good in society and government. They will use anyone, anything, and any opportunity to grab more power and control.
That is why Covid became a “pandemic” where masks, social distancing, and lockdowns all were used as means of controlling and resetting society. When those failed they used the vaccines to try and force everyone to “do as I say” not as I do. They used private companies as well as the federal government to force people to comply or lose their jobs.
When we think about sports we think about something fun, healthy, and entertaining for the most part and we would prefer not to think about much else when participating in or watching them. But now these have become politicized and fully support the party of the collective and radical anti-Christian values and movements.
I mean, if you wanted the world to know then put an advertisement on the pitchers’ mound supporting a Marxist Group of Radical extreme terrorists who pushes for special rights for black female lesbians, destroying the family unit, lawlessness, rioting, looting, defunding and attacking police, and dismantling of our entire society. Because after all, everything is racist except for them. Yeah, put that puppy right there on the mound so with every pitch we can embrace this massively deceptive and corrupt organization called BLM.
THE MLB, NBA, AND NFL = ARE FULLY WOKE AND USED BY EXTREME RADICALS AS PLATFORMS TO PUSH THEIR SINFUL IDEOLOGY. Whatever happened to “play ball”?
THERE IS BIG MONEY IN SIN AND CORRUPTION WHICH IS WHY IT NOW SEEMS TO BE TOUCHING EVERYTHING TO ONE DEGREE OR THE OTHER.
WITH GOVERNMENT AND EVEN CULTURE, MONEY IS OFTEN THE DRIVING FORCE OF WHAT WE SEE HAPPENING.
THE CCP HAS LEARNED THAT ALMOST EVERYONE HAS A PRICE FOR WHICH IF MET, THEY WILL DO JUST ABOUT ANYTHING. THEY HAVE BEEN USING THIS IN AMERICA AND AROUND THE WORLD WITH GREAT SUCCESS.
THE WORD UNIVERSITY MEANS UNITY IN DIVERSITY – SO WHAT HAPPENED? NOW THEY WANT UNITY THROUGH INDOCTRINATION AND HAVE NO TOLERANCE FOR ANY DEBATE OR CHALLENGE TO THEIR ABSOLUTE HIJACKING OF TRUTH.
Bezmenov – a Russian propagandist laid out in detail
the process by which a free society, such as America could be brought to its knees and collapse. In 1984 he laid out the four stages of collapsing a free society.
1- demoralization – control schools with leftist thought and a new set of values in complete opposition to those of freedom and democracy by indoctrinating an entire generation in Marxist ideology.
2. Destablization -of the economy, foreign relations, and defense systems
3- crisis – major event which works together with and builds off of the first
two. ( manufacture crisis – just like they are doing with coronavirus, open borders and supporting defunding our police, and encouraging the continued
burning and looting of our nation’s cities) make more sense now?
4 – Normalization – period of stablization until the next cycle reaches crisis point.
Former Soviet Union leader Nikita Khrushchev who led the country from 1958 to 1964 predicted America would be destroyed internally.
He claimed America could fall without firing a single shot. And today we can see exactly what he meant.
Rationality is built on cause and effect.
Reason is the ability to link things together.
God has put moral law into the human heart.
We can look at creation and know that God exists.
