The Word Courier's Journal

by Brother James

Rated: 13+ · Book · Opinion · #1871802

Meditations of a christizen (christian-citizen)upon today's topics.

I, Brother James, cultivated through my imagination 'The Word Courier's Journal'. It is but one of several literary efforts so conceived to include the "Word", the mind altering, eye opening, lifesaving Gospel of Jesus Christ into the everyday conversation on those things deemed relevant to readers. I and all other followers of the Lord are called to witness. Jesus said "Go therefore and teach all nations..." (see Matthew 28:19 KJV Holy Bible) Here lies my modest attempt to introduce the unknowing people to the Lord and immerse they who know Him in discussion with respect to His outlook on all that matters.

I think this may apply to where I used to work and where I now live. At least by traveling they get to miss me a little.

But for friendship ... shunning is a cold stab to the heart.

Yes, it's is a good start that some GOP members didn't succumb to their colleagues' pressure to worship "a single dude"- the cult leader DJT. The road becomes harder and harder when more conspiracies, more Proud Boys, and other groups join the anti-government movement. As the rising star of the Trumplican cult mentioned yesterday, the GOP is "his", "not belongs to anybody else", maybe is about time to change the name to QTP (QTrumplican Party). What do you think?

Hello Brother James,

I was gratified to read your blog post. I am a believer, have been for over 30 years and I have been totally confounded by the stance that so many of my brothers and sisters in Christ who I love dearly can support Donald Trump. It is so obvious to me that his behavior is the antithesis of Christ-like. It has stretched my ability to love as Jesus does. I believe that their attitude and support of Trump is due to fear. They are afraid of what may happen if a liberal is elected. They really believe that our 'Christian' way of life will be prohibited, stolen, made criminal if those horrible liberals gain any power over the country. As we know, God tells us that 'perfect love casts out fear'. We should not be afraid but, rather, judge/view our leaders by their 'fruit'. From what I have seen, there is very little good fruit to be seen in our current president.

I could go on with my thoughts about this but I won't. In my walk, I am constantly asking 'WWJD'? I know that has become a kind of ridiculous catchphrase for some but I believe it is the question we should always ask regarding our own behavior and that of others as well. I can't imagine the Jesus I know doing or saying most of what comes out of the mouth of our current president and I wonder how any Christian cannot see that.

Thanks for bringing it to my attention. Civil rights (what is right) issue is a humanity issue (knowing how to be humane and respectful. If we can not begin there, we are lost.
God bless.

You have a very well written and thought inducing Blog that I quite agree with. Many times we write and wonder
if anyone reads it, or if it makes a difference. I encourage you to continue. It's very worth while.-charlie55

No Heroes Here

"It's not your job to fix him, change him, parent him, or raise him. You want a partner not a project."
Julia Roberts advice to women

To that I'll add something for my fellow men folk. It's not your job to save her. If she needs a hero than its best that you avoid her.
Keep in mind, princesses look for someone to rescue them. Queens rescue themselves.

We guys should get real. The urge to come to the rescue is an egotistical deception. I don't care what Hans Christian Anderson, the Brothers Grimm or Disney say. If you want to be a hero become a fireman and fight fires. We men are builders, workers and helpers but not heroes.

Men don't save, but Jesus does.

That boom you heard was the mic dropping.

Kicking Grass

Television sports commentator Colin Cowherd has often quipped be careful about "trying to be happier than happy." It's a twist on the grass looks greener on the other side.

The difference here is that he's saying this about people who like the grass in their yard. So if you like your grass, why would you try to get another yard for better grass?

It smacks of greed to me. But, I know we have those who can never be satisfied with anything. Nothing is ever good enough. When that's the case something is lacking within that can't be replaced from something outside.

The grass ain't always greener on the same side. And even if it seems that way now, that doesn't mean it will stay that way.

Alpha Women

Alpha females don't travel in packs. They're not lone wolves either. They are apart but set apart.That's what I'm talking about.
