Candace Owens & Dr. Marc Lamont Hill

Should George Floyd be seen as a Black hero? Should we be happy with alleged peaceful protests that ends in riots and looting of stores? How do we address the social unrest and change society positively?

This is a very good discussion that seeks to bring clarity to the current movement for social justice and American racial equity.

St. John's Church Pt. 2 ~MACN "Make America Communist Now"

A Place Formerly Known As St. John's Episcopal Church

In Pt.1 of this series, I looked at how St. John's Church was a center of controversy when President Trump, exercising his freedom as a citizen, decided to go to St. John's church as a sign and symbol that anarchists don't control the streets and the life of American citizens. Now say what you wish about President Trump, like any other citizen, he and his delegation had a right to travel or go anywhere they wanted to without threat or encumbrance from anyone.

DC Under Siege
Little did I know at the time what would happen nearly a month later when ANARCHISTS, under the guise of Black Lives Matter, which had been so proudly painted on multiple city streets under the direction of confused Mayors, and most specifically DC Mayor, Muriel Bowser, that the alleged "peaceful protesters" would attempt to establish their own anarchist community centered around St. John's Church, naming it the Black House Autonomous Zone (BHAZ) and further defacing the church with the acronym.

In all, Tuesday morning, June 23rd, the day after this attempted siege, the ABC news show, Good Morning America, spent 1 MINUTE...yes, that's right, 1 MINUTE on the subject, saying that protesters in DC were attempting to pull down "an historic statue"....with NO MENTION of what had been done at this church or at this newly attempted "autonomous zone". They did however spend over 30 minutes trying to convince the public that covid-19 was surging, attempting to link that surge to return to work and State reopen orders, and Donald Trump's failure to wear a mask publicly, when the truth is that people have been protesting for a month with NO MASKS and not following any social distance guidelines. That is why the virus is surging IF it is at all. I mean what did they, real protesters and other anarchists, really expect to see and experience?

Mayor Muriel Bowser

Back to the issue at hand:

Now, it is more than clear to see that these anarchist actions in DC, as well as the prior looting and shootings, had nothing to do with George Floyd or criminal justice reform. More increasingly, and as these alleged "peaceful" protests continue, they have nothing to do with George Floyd or police reform. It is becoming more clear that current protest and anarchist efforts are directed by leaders of global and America change organizations and in this case led by the Black Lives Matter (BLM) organization (which asks for public donations, but is not a registered charity and appears to be illegally operating as a political action organization as well, which would more than likely be another violation of law, which these individuals and groups do not regard) and other like minded organizations.

The intention? Clearly to redefine American life, by bullying themselves into power, like anarchists do, secondly, remove a sitting President from office as Patrice Cullors, one of the founders of the BLM Organization has stated publicly, and finally, totally upend American society and make America a Marxist State.Recently Ms. Cullors stated:

Patrice Cullors BLM Co-founder

"Well, I’m hands down — Trump not only needs to not be in office in November but he should resign now. Trump needs to be out of office. He is not fit for office. And so what we are going to push for is a move to get Trump out. While we’re also going to continue to push and pressure Vice President Joe Biden around his policies and relationship to policing and criminalization. That’s going to be important. But our goal is to get Trump out." ~ The Lead with Jake Tapper 6/19/2020

In 2015 Ms. Cullors affirmed her dedication to Marxism in another interview:

“Myself and Alicia in particular are trained organizers. We are trained Marxists. We are super-versed on, sort of, ideological theories,”...“ (the founders of BLM) build a movement that could be utilized by many, many black folk.” ~ Patrice Cullors in an interview with Morgan State University Professor Morgan Ball in 2015

MACN ~ Make America Communist Now!!! 

Pastor, I Thought This Protesting Was About Social Justice...

Although some of the protesters had legitimate objectives and goals, the death of George Floyd was a cover up for what BLM and other anarchist and Marxist groups really wanted. What they wanted was to disrupt American society, as they say in their written statements, gain mainline acceptance of their ideals, and facilitate a complete American values upheaval as stated earlier. Because the George Floyd death was so open and horrific, these anarchist gained extra currency across cultural lines. Ultimately they got White, Asian and Latino people marching, chanting their names and disrupting city services. What many of those in the multicultural groups did not know was that they were vicariously calling for the end of American freedom and for a new MARXIST State of Communism.

These anarchists could not have dreamed that American businesses and organizations rooted in capitalistic and free society philosophies and ideologies, would bow down to them as we have seen in recent days. They could not have dreamed that unwitting American youth and others would help BLM anarchists and Marxists send a message to completely redefine what it means to be an American, completely reinterpret the past, and usher in a new, globalist centered future, where language and agreements do not matter, and only the show of force and strength is respected. (like EVERY Marxist State that has ever existed) ie: In the end these Marxists are classic BULLIES and haters of freedom, who want their way and as stated embrace Marxism and have no regard for American law, jurisprudence or society in general.

Now, for readers of this blog, those observations are nothing new, but are nonetheless shocking. Might I remind you that BLM is anything but a social justice organization as I have written HERE nearly 4 years ago. We are in a fight for America and American values.

Shaun King Ideology Against Religious Expression & Freedom

A natural progression of Marxist ideology, is the elimination of religion. Here is Karl Marx on the issue:

Karl Marx

"Religion is the sigh of the oppressed creature, the heart of a heartless world, and the soul of soulless conditions. It is the opium of the people. The abolition of religion as the illusory happiness of the people is the demand for their real happiness." ~ Marx, Karl. "Critique of Hegel's Philosophy of Right" 1843.

Now, this statement has been the source of much controversy, but it states that Marx admits that religion has some value. According to the DEA, Opium relieves physical pain and creates a euphoric feeling, but is highly addictive and can lead to death. What Marx is trying to say here is that religion relieves pain of the oppressed but that relief is only an illusion and that illusion is deadly. Marx is stating that he believes that eliminating religion will help the people find "real" or "true" happiness and thereby produce a state of total equality which is a primary, yet ILLUSION of communism.

In light of the aforementioned, and like clockwork, recently, one of the BLM protest leaders Shaun King, stated that all Jesus statues should be toppled and all stained glass windows depicting Jesus should be broken as well, because those things were remnants of White Supremacy...

Here he is encouraging Blacks (his NEW SLAVES) to do his bidding by toppling statues of not only Confederate icons, which also displays his conscience disregard for law and due process, but now Jesus (primarily Catholic depictions) claiming that they are all images of slavery and mistreatment.

Well, this IDIOT is simply wrong, uneducated on the issues and displays his lack of understanding of both history, biblical narratives, politics and advocacy for social change. Many Marxist will never acknowledge that the abolition of slavery in the modern world is a product of this Jesus, who advocated for freedom, both spiritually, morally and physically of all men. Yet, to him and many critics, this JEWISH Jesus is simply another White man...GO FIGURE!

What makes it so much further damaging, is that this gentleman was Senator Bernie Sanders lead campaign manager. You mean to tell me that former Democratic Socialist, and Presidential candidate, "Uncle Bernie" had someone right by his side and in his ear that was an American deconstructionist???

THANK GOD Uncle Bernie's Campaign failed and was REJECTED by the American public!!!! To think of policy being produced that sought to completely undermine the system of law, and American moral and social values is nearly unthinkable. As much as needs to be changed, it is nearly fearful to think what things would have been like under a Sanders or even Clinton Presidency.

Negotiating The Return Of A Seattle

At the same time Black Lives Matter ANARCHISTS/MARXISTS are trying to take over cities, destroy public property, and destroy Capitalism [while they drive and buy clothes, cars and homes, developed and produced by the same White capitalists they say they hate] City and governmental officials are "NEGOTIATING" (can't believe I am even saying this) "NEGOTIATING", for the return of 3 to 6 TAXPAYER paid for city blocks in Seattle, WA.  captured and taken by these alleged peaceful protesters in the name of "social justice".

Naming themselves CHOP (Capitol Hill Organized Protest aka: Communists Hoping to Overturn Peace) captured a Police Station, which the Mayor told the Police Chief to vacate, took over about 6 blocks of the City of Seattle, WA, claiming that social justice reform was the goal, and in a 2 weeks here was the result:

At least 1 Rape
At least 1 Murder (19 year old BLACK Man)
At least 1 Hospitalization critical condition (35 year old Black man)
At least 1 Shot (17 year old Black man)
Businesses Owned by both Blacks & Whites, Shut Down

Reports are that at least one victim of a shooting was alive when AMT's attempted to go in for medical treatment, but because the Police was the escort, these alleged "peaceful" protesters would not let them in and the young man died. Now, you will hear no BLM rally about that...CHOP KILLED A BLACK MAN!!!

St. Johns Church After Trump

St. Johns Church After BLM

The Rev-Runds

Probably one of the most interesting things in the whole fiasco, has been the absurd silence of the REV-RUNDS, I pointed out in the first segment. Remember, they rose when Donald Trump merely stood in front of the church and called his action the most egregious, and ungodly actin of all time. 

They called down FIRE from heaven on President Trump and claimed that the reason they stood was because they were tired of seeing the church used as a "Photo-OP" Rev Rund Budde said that she felt Trump should have come to the church for prayer and healing of the nation...

All that REV-RUND RIGHTEOUSNESS!!!!

Where is ANY of it now??? Here an ANARCHIST group which denies not only American freedom, but also the biblical God, appears at the church and WRITES THEIR NAME ON IT, DECLARING, WITHOUT CONSENT OF THE PASTOR, BISHOP OR ANY OF THE ALLEGED CONCERNED REV-RUNDS, THAT THIS CHURCH IS NOW THEIR PROPERTY, AND PLACE B-H-A-Z on the pillars and NOT A WORD FROM ANY OF THE ALLEGED CLERGY LEADERSHIP?!?!?!

I'm simply going to take the advice of Jesus and this is what I will do for spaghetti backed, spiritless grand standers:

Matthew 15:14 ~ Let them alone: they be blind leaders of 

the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, 

both shall fall into the ditch.

Well, YES, we've got some issues. These issues however have little to do with Donald Trump and no matter what he does, these issues would continue. They will continue until these Marxists and Communists reshape America into the value system that they embrace.

It's not about statues, but then it is about statues. They could care less about the racism associated with these icons and states. They, the anarchists and Marxists, are concerned about the values, the fight for freedom and the independence of a nation that these icons represent.

This makes it very tough to endorse a President who will bow and or bend to this in any manner as Joe Biden will do. Appeasement or anarchists and Marxists is not an answer and should not be a consideration. Corporation have dug themselves a hole, by being socially irresponsible and unaware of the serious philosophical and social issues at stake. 

For sure the church is under attack and needs to get our house in order. For Pastors to grandstand and not know the real issues involved is atrocious and only points toward a church, not directed by God, but directed by men.

I would say to the Marxist...be careful. Marx is DEAD. His associates are DEAD as well. During their day they tried their best to eliminate the Church, religion and Christ...YET, HE EXISTS TODAY, and is active in the lives of billions around the world. In addition, we've only just begun to fight. In addition, we have a promise, that no Marxist, communist, or anyone else will ever overcome or defeat:

Matthew 16:18 ~ And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell 

shall not prevail against it.

Conclusion:

At the end of the day, the BLM organization, is wholly different from the Black Lives Matter movement and criminal justice reform philosophy. With all its hate, the organization will soon go back to the same HELL from which it came, without question, taking countless men, women and business with them.

I expect the world to be the world, but the CHURCH should stand for greater and should be able to discern the CON of the Black Lives Matter organization.

Conservative and traditional values are not accepted by BLM and they will not teach them. The lesbianism of their female leaders, DEMAND that the world changes to embrace them, and they use the horrific and bona-fide concerns of the death of Blacks and in particular Black men at the hands of the police to make a case that they should be in charge of all policy and that the system of America, along with its Government needs to change.

It is PITIFUL, that to stand up among these haters, it to label one's self as anti- (whatever)..Joe Biden said that if one doesn't vote for him, one isn't Black. While that certainly isn't true, we can see that while groups like BLM and individuals like Biden say they hate identity politics, they are the first to use it when it comes to promoting themselves and their cause.

Hopefully companies that have made the mistake to embrace the BLM organization, will come to life and distance themselves from Marxists which promote policies that further damage the American family and in particular people of color, aka: BLACK PEOPLE and marginalized minorities. Hopefully they will wake up while they still yet have an opportunity to make significant and real change in the area of race and police relations instead of drinking the SLOP that the BLM organization dishes up daily. We'll see...believe that. 

Blessed!

St John's Church Pt. 1~ The Over The Top Rant

The aftermath of the George Floyd murder has displayed a many divisions, not only in America, but also in the American church.

Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde is the first elected female Episcopal Diocesan Bishop of Washington. Having previously served in Minnesota for 18 years, she is known for being outspoken  various political and social issues, especially as it pertains to gay rights, and claims to having presided over multiple homosexual union ceremonies and services, prior to the ratification of homosexual marriages in the State of Minnesota. In other words, she openly and unashamedly violated the law, claiming that she was under a mandate to do so according to her calling from God. 

Selective Outrage

Although the hypocrisy of her church (The Episcopal Church) and personal belief has long been exposed as nothing less than a wholesale reinterpretation of the bible and biblical moral values, none of that causes the "glass house living bishop" to think twice about condemning President Trump's security personnel's authorization to clear a path through a section of alleged "peaceful protesters" outside the White House, towards the St. John's Episcopal Church.

While this has been out of the news now, about a month or so, in Part 2 of this article, I wanted to look back and also look at how this church has been commandeered to be an anarchist stronghold, called the Black House Autonomous Zone (BHAZ) similar to the failed CHOP Zone in Seattle Washington. This is really amazing, as things are moving so fast, and noone would have thought, that the very grounds that were used to make a political statement by these alleged "Black leaders" would be the same grounds defaced AGAIN by the alleged "protesters" without a word of condemnation from any of these actors. Remember, it started with disdain over moving a crowd for what was called a photo-op. For now let's continue with part 1 The Over The Top Rant. 

The REV-RUND'S Response

As we reflect, in response to the event, not only did Bishop Budde deliver politically oriented missives on many news talk shows regarding how un-Christian Trump was and is in his actions, but she had the nerve to invoke biblical, Christian moral values in the discussion:

“After speaking so harshly and with militaristic overtones to the nation, he had the park of peaceful protesters cleared with tear gas and officers in riot gear to make a symbolic gesture, holding a Bible as if to spiritually condone a message and a posture that is antithetical to the teachings of Jesus and everything as a church we stand for,”

She said, "antithetical to the teachings of Jesus and everything as a church we stand for"
Now, might I refer you to what I wrote previously in this article? This Lady, not only is part of a gay affirming church that believes that homosexuality, lesbianism and more than likely, transgenderism, is compatible with holiness and biblical Christianity, and has illegally performed ceremonies and services to prove it, says that what Trump did, is "antithetical to the teachings of Jesus and everything as a church we stand for"???

Lets get to something more REAL in substance, because the bishop had to have inhaled or injected some substances prior to her TV debut on the subject....

We now know that President Trump didn't order anything outside of expressing his desire and determination to make it to St. John's Church. It seems that Attorney General Bill Barr along with others ordered that the pathway be cleared for the President and his delegation to move forward through and to the church. According to all available reports, these "peaceful" protesters were told 3 times clearly to move themselves out of the way so that government officials could come through. Some took heed and relocated themselves and some did not. What is clear is that these alleged "peaceful" protesters (at least the ones who refused to move) continued to refused to move out of the way and faced the consequences of their refusal to move. It has also been found that at least one agent disbursed tear gas upon the crowd that refused to move.

Now, there has been and still is much debate over whether this was a right or wrong move. The same individuals supporting people for exercising their freedoms, evidently do not think the President or officials have any freedoms or at least think their movements should be restricted. I mean look at it, why can't ANYONE, including the President travel without personal, physical threat to anywhere he or she wants to go? Especially considering that, if left up to the Mayor, the church, which was firebombed the night before, would have probably been burned down.

Senator Chuck Grassley said this:

"We expect leadership from our President and particularly in times like this. And I think that when there was destruction to a church or any other historical thing that America would put great confidence in that should not be destroyed, I think a president ought to bring attention to that terrorist activity, and go there and do ... what he did last night." ~ CNN Politics

This is certainly no defense for the President, but I believe the criticism and reduction of his desire to do a "photo op" is off base, the pastoral response certainly OVER THE TOP and response centered more in radical politics than in truth.

The Preachers Of DC

As stated, after this event, an apparent hoard of Democratic, left leaning, politically motivated clergy, took to the same location to hail the error of the President's ways as well. Now, I wonder if ANY of them have ever received an invitation to preach at this building or to this "congregation", but that is another story...but here are some of the "highlights" as they charged and commanded President Trump to repent of his SINS...

"One of the most egregious crimes against humanity is the crime of rape and what I saw yesterday was the rape of a church and of God's holy word" ~ Pastor A Michael Durant 10th St. Baptist Church Washington DC

You mean to tell me, a sitting President, exercising his FREE RIGHT to travel to a church and stand in front of the church taking a picture is tantamount to "rape"? And that of "raping a church"? This is far too over the top and a ridiculous sentiment, comparison and analogy. 

Let's continue:

"We call upon the President Sir to repent, to repent, to repent" ~ Bishop Edwin Brown Full Gospel Baptist Church  

OK, repent for walking to a church, taking a photo, or something else? Exactly what should he "repent" for? "Raping" the church? OVER THE TOP Reverend!!!

"We will not divert our attention from the way that White Supremacy and racism has burned and desecrated the Black, & Brown and Indigenous bodies of this land." ~ Pastor Mike Wilker Lutheran Church of the Reformation, Co-Chair Washington Interfaith Network.

Now, he was the only White Pastor to speak, and as you can tell, his comments would go on to compare Trump's actions to those of Hitler who according to him allegedly used a photo-op and division of the Christian church to divert attention away from the "Jewish bodies" which were being "burned" under his, Hitler's,  regime. Only problem is that the photo circulating of Hitler holding what appeared to be a bible in a photo op, was FAKE!!! Yep, not real at all...Then HOW does the President exercising his freedom to walk anywhere in the United States, AFTER having warned those alleged "friendly protesters" to move out of the way, not once, not twice, but THREE TIMES, equate to White Supremacy, and desecrating the "indigenous People of the Land"? 

Just so happens I AM one of the Indigenous people. I am the descendant of a Chief tribal leader of the Ojibwa Grand Portage Band aka: Chippewa Nation. I don't see how going to a church to attend and or take a photo, added to the desecration of my people and ancestors. That is the LEAST thing that added to the harm of my people. Another OVER THE TOP IRRATIONAL statement made for what I see has just become a PHOTO OP!

Let's continue:  

"...I know you stood right here and held the bible in your hand; but it is clear you don't have the bible in your heart"..."You (Trump) are representing everything that we are standing against. We are outraged by your abuse of power..." "Mr. President, we find the misuse of the bible and the church as a mere photo opportunity deplorable and disgraceful" ~  Rev. George Gilbert Jr. Social Justice Rep. of the Progressive National Baptist Convention USA

Now, Rev. Gilbert went in for the direct kill. To him Trump had the bible in his hand, but not in his heart. OK, that is descriptive of a sinner or someone who is not saved. He goes on to call Trump's actions "deplorable and disgraceful". Well. would not the actions of all sinners be "deplorable" if they violate God's word? I know Paula White has hailed him as some great guru, but has Trump ever publicly claimed to be a Christian? Believe me, he has said some incredibly stupid things, to which I agree, but has he claimed to be a Christian in any forum? SO why should and how does this pastor expect the bible to be "in his heart" when he has made no such claim that it is? 

OVER THE TOP!!!!

So this REV-RUND is standing in front a church, which he probably has never been asked to speak at,  led by a pastor who AFFIRMS the gay lifestyle, by not only conducting gay marriage ceremonies, but by having done so illegally "in the name of God" while in MN, as a part of a church that has multiple gay bishops and is a gay affirming denomination somehow misses the condemnation of the REV-RUNDS???...Yet...a PERSON, exercising their freedom, walking in safety and peace to that same church, set ablaze less than 24 hours before, doesn't have the bible in his heart and displays deplorable and disgraceful acts???

Nobody is asking anyone to like him, but to show the greatest HATRED is certainly NOT REPRESENTATIVE OF THE BIBLE BEING IN THE HEART, and is further DEPLORABLE AND DISGRACEFUL in my humble opinion REV-RUNDS!

I'll conclude with this little insightful caveat from another of the REV-RUNDS on site:

"He may as well have been holding up a phone book, that's how much he knew about the bible" ~ Pastor Keith Byrd Zion Baptist Church Washington DC, 2nd Vice-President Progressive National Baptist Convention Inc

CONCLUSION:

One thing is for sure, the REV-RUNDS on site certainly didn't know much about the bible either, no matter where they allegedly matriculated from nor stand within their respective organizations. To grandstand in front of a gay affirming church/organization because someone exercised their freedom to do the same thing, is utterly preposterous, displays a complete lack of spiritual insight and begs the question, did you REV-RUNDS simply want a photo op, or to fight for biblical moral values and against tyranny? The former seems more in line with their actions. Especially in light of the fact at what has happened as the "protesters" have become anarchists and seek to set up their own autonomous zone. 

Yes. we know that the streets are filled with real peaceful protesters, and we want to foster the right of free speech, and truly peaceful protests at all costs, however, the President enjoins those same rights as well, and no matter who is in office, the office is the highest in the Land and deserves RESPECT. Yep, when our President travels or commutes, no matter Democrat or Republican, as an American Citizen, I want him (or her) PROTECTED at all times, free of threat and or bodily harm and I don't want anyone to come close to hurting or hindering him or her because as I see it, that is MY President no matter whether I like the policies or not.

Donald Trump's Presidency will be the most controversial Presidency in American History, however he is President and deserves his rights too.

In part 2 of this series we will discover the rise of communism, and the real reason for all of this and how the church and it's leaders, especially them depicted here have been played like a drum. So sad, but so true. 

Blessed!

The Murder Of George Floyd: Anarchy & Protest Are NOT The Same

The murder of George Floyd (and I did say MURDER, as he was killed openly and in the streets by someone who thought he had the privilege to do so)  illicits the best and worst of America. One one hand we show why and how America is different from any country, by allowing its citizens to contend and protest for change and to decry this horrible act. On the other hand, we observe anarchists bent on destroying American values of freedom, capitalism and parochial values by looting, creating public disturbance, and causing as much discord as possible. 

While police reform is and has long been in order, and certainly there is yet racism within the criminal justice system that does not allow Black citizens, and Black males in particular, the opportunity for equal and fair justice, countries like China who have an abysmal human rights record for all of its citizens, need not say a mumbling WORD about American injustice, because citizenship rights do not exist. The Chi-comm nation is what it is, a communist governmental system by extension, responsible for millions, if not billions, of deaths and suppression of its citizens for extended and extensive periods of time. Ooh yes! We remember Emperor Mau Zedong, who's "Great Leap Forward" policy led to the deaths of 20 million to 46 million Chinese people from 1958 to 1962. In addition, after all the current and more recent murderous policies including a "one child policy", and a denial of human rights, their government can really SHUT UP!

CONFUSION

Be clear, the MURDER of George Floyd was wrong, like many of the other Black victims (both men and women) who have suffered death and tragedy at the hands of police in America however,  rioting and looting has nothing to do with political or social reforms, nor the cause of George Floyd's death. Be sure the ONLY reason that such actions are being taken by left leaning anarchists with extreme right wingers in tow, is because some want to see the whole American system of government overthrown. They want socialism, communism and Nazi like policies to reign and exist within the United States. Although they have a right to those feelings, I am glad that Americans continually rise to see extremist garbage for what it is, and as vocal as they become, they will not gain any ground because they are wholly inconsistent in their demands, and their values are wholly incompatible with American values of freedom.

My Statement; A DUNAMIS WORD On The Issue

With and during all of this, I have not sat silently. As I witnessed the confusion festering in my own community. I was recently prompted to speak and write on the issue. Hopefully the following statement will also resonate with you, the readers of the Dunamis Word, as it has with many readers on Facebook.

My statement on Peoria's response to George Floyd's death, Criminal Justice and rioting and looting: 

Our streets should not be a war zone. People looting are not grieving George Floyd's death. They are THUGS and CRIMINALS who need to be stopped. Their actions are immoral and only ADD TO the immorality of what Black men in particular have experienced in America. 

Your smash and grab THIEVERY does not represent any cause of policy or societal change. Go to Communist Russia and China and see how long your actions will be tolerated. You find from DAY 1 that your actions will not be tolerated. 

You should THANK GOD for a constitution that preserves your rights and affords you the opportunity to change what is wrong. The system is by no means perfect, but it is a system of citizens not criminals! 

Enough of associating lawlessness with pain. NO, I DON'T ACCEPT THAT INFANTILE ARGUMENT! I have been in pain, but I did not steal, nor did I kill! Pain is no excuse to destroy our community nor our country. 

Our predecessors faced more pain than we have ever faced. They were beaten for education. They were denied equal chances and opportunities for success. They were considered the lowest of society, but they formulated the HIGHEST standards of moral values that shaped families and communities and held things together to open the door to all the privileges we have today. 

You have denigrated their memory. Spit on their graves. Shown the greatest disrespect and disregard for their efforts. For the lives of them that have been lost, you have defiled their character and pushed their voices from the grave aside simply so you can have Jordan's that you did not pay for and stolen clothes to cover your ugliness...but you are UNCOVERED! 

GOD SEES ALL THAT YOU DO AND HE HAS DISCERNED YOUR PLANS AND YOU ARE JUDGED! 

THERE will be no arguments in HIS court. Only works done in righteous will stand and last. You have forged a weight of iron upon your children and families for the cost of fashion, you did not pay for and for confusion that displays your thought process.

We MUST speak the truth to YOU! You may be a Lion but your roar is powerless and your rant ineffective. 

Confusion is your your plight because hatred is your method. It begins with the hatred you have amassed for yourself and your future. It extends to the hatred you have for your fellow citizens who now suffer further by not having institutions who can safely supply their food, medication and clothing needs. You have shown that you could not possibly have any care for George Floyd, who many of you never met, while you despise the neighbors in your very own community. 

PASTORS, LEADERS, THOSE WHO LOVE NOT ONLY THE BLACK COMMUNITY BUT OUR NATION..MAKE A STAND TO REACH, TEACH AND EDUCATE these on more than civil process, but moral and value centered process. RESTORE family values as these enemies seek to disregard family and what it means.

We must make a stand. This generation does not have the moral wherewithal or the mental stamina to advance. 

The comparison of riots is not apropos here. The basis and the moral focus of the anarchy is. When we look at who is better by the actions of these anarchists, we see noone is made better. They stand in shadows and throw stones to prove that there is no real plan to progressively move from where we are into new light.

I for one WILL NOT FOLLOW them into their darkness!

Ravi Zacharias, Sexual Addiction, Abuse & Influence Of Ministry

UPDATED 12/31/2020:

Unfortunately, it has been recently revealed and evidenced by diligent research that this man suffered from addiction. After his death in May, a number of allegations of decades old sexual abuse began to surface. We are heartbroken, not so much because of the tarnished reputation of Ravi Zacharias, but because of the wake of destruction and allegations of sexual abuse that have been confirmed. We are not proud in any manner that those who were groomed, used and sexually abused were not given light and council to face their abuser in this life, HOWEVER, they will, somehow face Ravi in judgment and yes, he too, will be judged for the things done in his body and those that have been done wrong, shall be made whole somehow. 

Even in light of that, the rest of this post remains true. I was blessed tremendously by this man's ministry. I am reminded that "to whom much is given, much is required" (Lk12:48). This is an ultimate reminder to HARVEY BURNETT, who writes this blog and conducts a ministry that reaches thousands monthly, to MAKE SURE his anchor holds and that he REPENTS and lives free of sin and in union and in fellowship with Christ. One day, we will ALL give an account for the our deeds. 

2 Corinthians 5:10 ~ For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad.

The Tragedy Of Bartered Freedom. Janet Mefford & Everett Piper

The broadcast will speak for itself, but we need to ask the question, is American built on being "safe" or being "free"? Collectivism of the Eastern countries we aspire to be like (CHINA) has a totally different focus that we do in our FREE society. Janet Mefford and Everett Piper point out some horrible trades that we have made as Americans during this alleged pandemic.

As the whole world is captivated and held captive by the covid 19 virus, there are a host of scientists, hard at work trying to solve or address the problem by creating a vaccine that can be rolled out to the masses in effort to cure or rid the planet of the disease. Not to be a deliverer of bad news but the fact is that we may never have a vaccine for covid 19, but if not, it certainly won't be for a lack of effort. 

So what does abortion, that liberal pundits hate to hear the sound of about now, and a covid 19 vaccine have in common?

According to an April 17th letter issued by the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) to the US Food & Drug Administration, (see below) it seems that a company named Janssen Pharmaceutical, INC. is in receipt of a contract from the US Dept. Of Health (HHS) to produce a covid 19 vaccine and they are using, of all things, certain cells of aborted babies in the process of vaccine development!

covid vaccine IS people!!!!

From one of my favorite movies featuring the late Charlton Heston, Soylent Green, (I can almost hear him yelling it now) could it be that there is potential that a covid vaccine IS people too???

One would never have guessed in a million years that cells from aborted fetuses would be used in any manner to address the covid 19 crisis, or that the HHS would be in tandem or coordination in any manner with a company promoting such a concept or idea. 

This leads to at least 2 startling and disturbing ethical dilemmas one of which the USCCB lays out and the other I will address here. 

Moral Ethics and Conscience

In their letter to Director Hahn, the USCCB points out:

"It is critically important that Americans have access to a vaccine that is produced ethically: no American should be forced to choose between being vaccinated against this potentially deadly virus and violating his or her conscience. Fortunately, there is no need to use ethically problematic cell lines to produce a COVID vaccine, or any vaccine, as other cell lines or processes that do not involve cells from abortions are available and are regularly being used to produce other vaccines." ~ USCCB 4/17/2020 to the US Food & Drug Administration, Director Hahn

To develop a vaccine derrived from aborted fetus cells is nothing less than abhorrent. However, to unknowingly receive a vaccine or be forced either knowingly or unknowlingly (which is current chatter in many liberal circles right now) to receive a vaccine developed under these circumstances is no less than abhorrent if not down right devilish and evil.

Now, one could argue, that we could take "pain" or "death" of the fetus and it could be used to help others live. Although a twisted argument, I can see how individuals could attempt to make such a case, however, that then leads to a 2nd dilemma that I point out below:

The Commercialization Of Abortion & Aborted Materials

If this idea were to proceed, it would take abortion to a whole new level of shame, murder and degridation even for Western society. Just imagine people aborting babies "for the good of the community" and to "fight dreaded disease all over the word"

Could you imagine Dr Fauci and Dr. Birx delivering the new covid 19 mitigation strategies of Social Distancing, Handwashing & Abortion of the Unborn???

Planned Parenthood, who has billions of dollars in large part due to their abortion services, would be the center of the community and would encourage abortion even more so than they previously did but now, that would be done with the endorsement and blessing of the State...

Could you imagine some of these liberal and socialist Governors that we have seen during this crisis, rise and encourage women all over their respective State to go to the nearest abortion clinic to abort their child so that we can better address the alleged "covid 19 pandemic" and "save the lives of our most vunerable"?

Conclusion

It seems that Janssen Pharmaceuticals along with the HHS, would "commercialize" abortion and violate the conscious of millinons of Americans and billions of individuals around the world and not think twice as long as they can gain a remedy to this dreaded disease. However, are they the only ones, or are they just the one we know? 

Believe me, I want a cure to covid 19 and certainly hold to the strategies of mitigation such as handwashing and social distancing, and the creation of a safe work environment, but there is no way that I endorse the use of cells from aborted babies in the development of a covid 19 vaccine.

One would think after nearly 50 million lives lost to the human disease of abortion since 1972, that there would be no room to think that we can solve or address what we are facing by killing more people, UNLESS one has a globalists agenda and believes that limiting and reducing the number of people on the planet, abortion, and covid 19 go hand in hand. 

Well, sad to say, but I guess some do! Just so happens, I have discussed that in a recent Sunday Night Study HERE

Do Our Governors Know The Bill Of Rights?

Recently Tucker Carlson took the Governor of New Jersey Phil Murphy to task over some of the restrictions issued by his executive order. He claimed that liquor stores remained open because of mental health issues and the empirical evidence of addiction and addiction recovery, but had no answer for what evidence that had been given to address the psychological well being of individuals who have, in essence, been banned from religious services and worship.

This was very telling and based on the responses during this segment, we should ask, Do our Governors actually "know" the Bill of Rights? From this Governor's response, the answer to that question is highly suspect. 

At 11:00  

Carlson: "By what authority did you nullify the Bill of Rights?"

Gov. Murphy: "That's above my pay-grade Tucker, I wasn't thinking of the Bill Of Rights when we did this"

Governor Murphy went on to say that because he had met with and gained approval from a "variety of leaders in the State" meaning religious or faith leaders that his actions had somehow been sanctioned or were allowable.  

At 13:25

Gov. Murphy: "...we have to find a different way to worship"

Carlson: "...Government is not allowed to tell people how to worship...

A Federal Judge's Order Against The The Erosion Of Personal & Religious Liberty

In the process to mitigate the alleged "pandemic" of covid 19, it seems that the Constitution of the United States has been tabled by many Governors all over over the country, initially, so we were told, to curtail death, but more recently, so we are told, to keep the healthcare system from being overwhelmed. 

Shelter In Place

According to the New Your Times (a news organization I certainly DON'T recommend) "Stay at Home" orders have been issued to an estimated 316 million American citizens in 42 States, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, 3 counties and 9 cities.

Having begun in California, the executive orders, which are allegedly rooted in CDC and Washington DC guidance,  are issued by the Governors in most cases and vary widely. For example, Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer, in a State hard hit by covid 19, recently issued an order prohibiting citizens from traveling to second homes, standing outside too long, and even purchasing specific items, such as paint from hardware stores, contending that the items were "non-essential". In other States such as Mississippi, Kentucky, and even Illinois  in which Governor Pritzker and his colleagues contended that orders to stay home meant prohibitions on attending church or places of religious worship no matter if social distancing guidelines were followed or not. In the case of Illinois and Kentucky, the Governors were so brazen as to suggest that the churches were "non essential" institutions, while, in all cases simultaneously contending that liquor retail establishments were/are"essential". (Even though the same CDC from which they take their guidance states that over 88,000 people die annually of alcohol related illness or excessive use of alcohol.)

Even During A Pandemic, The Free Exercise Of Religion Is Upheld

As I began to speak and write on this issue, I was surprised by the number of practicing Christians who do not know the difference between religious freedom and freedom of worship and why each is vitally important but not necessarily one in the same. This has been quite a controversy, between so called "enlightened" people, both secular and religious, who believe that religious practice is flexible and can be done in any setting.

The fact is that one can actually worship anywhere. That is not a question that needs to be addressed.  What is at question however is the fact that our Constitution guarantees the right of the religious to freely exercise religion no matter the circumstance. That is, We The People are guaranteed the ability to freely carry out the practice of religious belief without restriction. What's more is that the practice or free exercise of religion and tenets of faith, need not meet an intellectual standard or criteria suitable to anyone looking on. Further, it seems that the State does not have a right to regulate how our belief is carried out or to tell the church how to conduct its beliefs.

This is the problem. The Governors, in their zeal to thwart and stop the covid 19 alleged pandemic, from overwhelming our medical systems, went further than their lawful boundaries and, in many cases, usurped their control and authority over religious practice and the free exercise thereof, telling the church not only how to worship, but restricting access as to how and where the free and valid exercise of religion would be carried out while simultaneously not holding secular businesses and industries to the same or similar standard. 

Now, many of our churches sat back and allowed this to happen without a word to the contrary. Truthfully many people from church leaders to lay persons, suffered and died as a result of this dreaded disease, and there is nobody that is favor of that, however, as I have written, what is the price that we have paid as a result of allowing secular leaders to take control of and usurp authority over the church at any time, yet alone times of distress? In the future, what will limit the states power over the church in the event of the "next" crisis?

I'll say more on this in my next article, but the church was only to be subject to "just" law, and law that does not impede liberties given by God and not simply any law. 

A Judge's Eyeopening Decision

A recent Facebook posting by a news group , Unbiased America, caught my attention. Their post outlined the actions of a Federal Judge Justin Walker of Kentucky. Judge Walker ruled, just prior to Easter, in favor of the On Fire Church and against a Kentucky Mayoral directive allegedly enforcing the Governor's stay at home order, which had been constructed to prohibit church worship on the Churches most Holy Day, Easter. In his ruling Judge Walker stated:

"On Holy Thursday, an American mayor criminalized the communal celebration of Easter. That sentence is one that this Court never expected to see outside the pages of a dystopian novel, or perhaps the pages of 'The Onion" 

The Judge went on to say:

"But two days ago, citing the need for social distancing during the current pandemic, Louisville’s Mayor Greg Fischer ordered Christians not to attend Sunday services, even if they remained in their cars to worship – and even though it’s Easter. The Mayor’s decision is stunning. And it is, “beyond all reason, unconstitutional."

Judge Walker concluded by saying:

"But for the men and women of On Fire, Christ’s sacrifice isn’t about the logic of this world. Nor is their Easter Sunday celebration. The reason they will be there for each other and their Lord is the reason they believe He was and is there for us. For them, for all believers, “it isn’t a matter of reason; finally, it’s a matter of love.”

Groups such as First Liberty have been inundated with requests for help during this pandemic from churches seeking to merely continue to freely exercise their religious beliefs against the backdrop of over the top stay at home and anti-religious subversion efforts of State officials.

Conclusion

It seems that, although many have been born and raised within America, that they don't know exactly how the interface of human rights work in conjunction with or in accord with State law, and the desire to keep and maintain a peaceful and safe society. Although covid 19, has presented issues and problems that have never been dealt with before in American society, it seems that  too many people in authority believe that rights can be suspended by the State at any time and without notice, and that religious rights or the essential nature of religious belief is only an illusion.

While the latter sentiments are right in line with the anti-religious extremists, who have not taken the time to consider that human rights only exists as a result of religion, and the Christian religion in particularly, it is saddening to know that the people must continually check, recheck and call into question the actions and directives of their elected secular officials. 

To be clear, noone wants to upbraid the State or anything done to keep us and make us safe in this hour of pandemics, however, we want the State to work within the confines of human rights to address the issues. Not break the law in order to make the law. That is unreasonable.

In my next post, I will present the letter and email that I sent to the Governor of Illinois regarding these things and others.

Covid 19. Balance. Are We Still A Free People?

Covid 19 has proven to be a problem of epic proportion to the entire community. On one had, we are dealing with a medical and scientific community examining the virus, studying its progression and trying to understand and apply the best science based methods to overcome it. 

On another we have the governmental authority assessing the financial impact and human value impact of the virus and trying to mitigate its impact on the health and well-being of the community and finally we have the church attempting to gauge its level of involvement, reduce the erosion, even if temporary, of its freedoms and redefine its actions and outreach methods during these perilous times. 

The Medical Professionals 

I would first like to say that The DUNAMIS WORD APPRECIATES all medical professionals, scientists, first responders and Governmental authorities in all the work they are doing in effort to keep our community safe and help us through these trying times! YOU and your families are in our prayers and we believe God that he will grant you strength in your efforts and duties. THANK YOU!!!!

The Church

Secondly, to the church and our fellow believers...while the motivations of many, if not most of us are pure, to those that see this as an opportunity to take advantage of the people, let's get a grip and get it quickly, because Clovid 19, whether one believes it is a "judgement of God or not" is not the only problem on the horizon either for the United States, the world community nor the church. 

The Confusion Crisis

Now, let me just say first, the church has found a way to continue some RIDICULOUS practices even though God is closing certain doors and challenging values and ethics...folk have exalted tithe and offering so high, until some don't care if an individual is sick or not..."drive through" and "curb side" church service featuring..."place the money in the envelope" is horrific!!! Please STOP the madness and get a clue!!! Some are so underwater in church mortgages that it is nearly impossible for them to survive and maintain as a congregation financially if the good ole tithe doesn't come in...so some have resorted to schemes and church gimmicks to help their earthly kingdom survive the covid 19 scare. I could say more but...

OK, Back To Rational Conversation...

First let's be real. People are dieing of covid 19 related illness. Many, more than a few preachers and pastors I know have left here in recent days due to this virus. 

Yet this global crisis has not stopped the church from questioning its place and position and how it is supposed to act during these times.  Yes, clergy...that is GOOD clergy, are ESSENTIAL and are a part of FIRST RESPONSE to any humanitarian crisis. The church is ESSENTIAL to the growth, health and vitality of our community and nation. Both should be honored as such. But as such, clergy should be prepared and realize that they too, are under orders and many of those orders have been established by divine command. 

Titus 3:1 ~ Put them in mind to be subject to principalities and powers, to obey magistrates, to be ready to every good work, 

Romans 13:1 ~ Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God.

A Little Theology

The aforementioned scriptures are often cited in situations of abuse and misuse. Example, how many times have your heard people who criticize the bible contend that these scriptures were scriptures that endorsed slavery or some other form of human or humanitarian abuse? 

However, I would contend that these scriptures were never intended to be used to support abuse, misuse and or subvert human moral values of the individual to the State or any authority. These scriptures were rendered to call the church to the highest levels of service and the highest levels of witness and response to the community and to reaffirm that God was in control of all things, no matter who sat in the seat of power. Those are the lessons of Paul's teaching here and elsewhere. 

How do I know this? Quite simply, Paul teaches that believers should see the Lord through his ministry and observe Christ by his example. They were to follow his example as his example was an example of Christ. (1 Cor. 11:1)...Now, was Christ an abuser of men? Did Christ lead men into abuse and subjugation? Critics level many criticisms and lay a lot of things at Jesus' feet, but I don't believe any rational scholar, or anyone worth his salt, makes the argument with  any success that Jesus was an abuser of men and or mankind or that he led anyone into an abusive situation. In fact an examination of his life demonstrates that he did just the opposite.  

If Paul's reference was Christ, and if Christ was the ultimate example, then how and in what world could Paul possibly be commending abuse or telling people to blindly subject themselves to rules of abuse of an evil ruler, especially if those rules also violated the Law of God? 

The Commission of The State:

In light of the above facts, we should rightfully ask what is the relationship between the rule of God and the power and authority of the State, which only acknowledges God in a cursory or topical manner? Should we simply dumb down to the "godless" State and everything it requests, when we know that the essence of its request do not honor the God we serve? 

Then if we "fight the power", simply because the power is saying something, are we fighting a righteous fight?

It is questions like those and others that led me to write an article on "Covid 19, Freedom & Unalienable Rights. A Mini Civics Lesson & Question"

In that article, I suggest that as a church we should be careful about giving up freedoms and to whom we give those freedoms to. I yet continue to stand by that argument because it is so vitally important, however, when the state and all people are confronted with a crisis, the church should be front and center in helping to mitigate that crisis. 

A REAL First Responder

The CHURCH is not only essential, but it is a FIRST RESPONDER. The condition of the community, state and nation depends upon the response of the church to the people who comprise the state, community and church. 

Matthew 28:19-20 ~ (19)Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: (20)Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.

Sadly, the church has undershot its mission, but the original commission of the church was to serve the community and transform the world...to "teach them" to "observe" whatsoever things that Jesus had commanded. This was to be both a natural and spiritual benefit and blessing to the community and the entire world (wherever the church would be found) 

Is the refusal to close the church building, in light of an epidemic which is drastically effecting the community ungodly? It could be, but does it have to be? 

Is the refusal to obey directives of law and policy godly or righteous if it is done to the "glory of God"?  Is the relationship between church and state and who controls what strictly a FIRST Amendment issue? 

I believe that our questions and resultant expressions or responses may be inadequate. There is much more at stake and or at risk than issues of personal freedoms or state impositions upon those freedoms. What covid 19 has done is place a human or life's value issue on the subject in a way that the world really was not ready to explain.  

IS the CHURCH about saving lives as it says and will it respect the rights to save lives as it is commissioned to do? This is the challenge, and I will tell you why: 

Now, for the State, this would be a good, clear and applicable question if ABORTION and ABORTION services, which the state upholds also as a right, were not at issue...You see, having killed over 50 million babies (or so the abortion estimates are since 1972) is not exactly a rallying point for the State to claim that it is attempting to suddenly protect its most vulnerable, or ride on a high horse saying that it really and solely cares about life and its value. 

In other words, the states claim of valuing life can easily and readily be viewed as either hypocritical or at the very least dubious and one that the church should and  could be easily viewed in an ominous manner neither of which make the case for the State that it has an pure interest saving lives.  

There is a new horse in the race and one that cannot be overlooked, although it is being overlooked by extremists on both sides of the issue.

To the critic ready to simply and blindly follow every edict of the state because one misinterprets the scripture to endorse blind allegiance governmental authority simply because it is governmental authority, I would encourage you to pull back and think things through a little more circumspectly, as our real freedoms did not come from the state and cannot be taken away and should not be surrendered to the state at the State's whims for any event and or reason....

Similarly, those of us in the REAL church, must be reminded that our position of glorifying God extends far beyond a building or sanctuary no matter the size and or cost of that building or sanctuary.  

Certainly to close a building is not to be closed to or to exclude God in any way or manner. Neither should our position ever be that the material affects of this existence are, by themselves, worth dissenting over, especially when the truth is that ALL things belong to God. 

In other words, God will commission even the devil to do his bidding. The devil may think he is in control of his actions, and he certainly is, as he exercises his own freewill also, but God yet is in control and provision has already been made for HIS people.

CONCLUSION 

What we know is that many individuals, are leaving this world due to this current pandemic or epidemic of covid 19. Though the numbers of death are not and neither will be extraordinarily high, (as only about 1.4% of them who contract the disease pass away from it) the pace of contagion is astounding, and being that the virus is especially unrelenting within them who are already compromised in their health, covid 19 is somewhat of a fearful disease or illness. 

Closing a church temporarily to mitigate the public and community damage and individual suffering as a result of a pandemic or community crisis, should not be an issue. Our call is much greater than a building and or pews or seats...Much greater than a show or a Sunday morning thrill, is the LIVING WORD which resides on the inside of the individual. 

With that said, we must affirm that the state does not have a right of subjugation of the church. There is no law which allows the church to arbitrarily become the captive of the state. A stand for freedom is in order. Our allegiance is not to blind, nor was it to be used in endorsement of ungodly and anti-biblical moral values and constructs.

So while personal liberties and personal freedoms are good topics and a essential conversations to be had among believers and civic leaders alike, the sure thing is that God is God no matter if covid 19 exists or not and that HE will get the glory and the world to bow to HIS majesty as HE is yet in control of all things. 

We believe God for an outcome much less than the current expectation of over 200,000 lives lost. God is still ABLE to do what he does, and that is turn death away when God's mission and purpose has been fulfilled. 

There's much more to this story than meets the eye I am sure.

Blessed!

UPDATE 4/1/2020

Pastor Rodney Howard-Brown, featured in this article, was recently arrested because he refused to close down his church in light of the "stay at home" order and large group probation issued by State leadership. 

Now I must say that Pastor Howard-Brown has is certainly not unfamiliar with controversy. The founder of the "gold dust" and "gold tooth" movement, Howard-Brown has his issues. Of course this event was met with much controversy especially after the Chief of Police painted the picture that Howard-Brown was not a good citizen and that he had endangered the lives of countless persons in his congregation. 

The facts however, don't match the accusation. According to his Attorney, Liberty Counsel, Pastor Howard-Brown took the following measures to keep congregants safe:  

• Enforced the six-foot distance between family groups in the auditorium as well as the overflow rooms
• All the staff wore gloves
• Every person who entered the church received hand sanitizer
• In the farmer’s market and coffee shop in the lobby, the six-foot distance was enforced with the floor specifically marked (farmer’s markets and produce stands are expressly exempted)
• The church spent $100,000 on a hospital-grade purification system set up throughout the church that provide continuous infectious microbial reduction that is rated to kill microbes, including those in the coronavirus family.

Now, I venture to ask...Does the GROCERY STORE that remains open during this pandemic do any of this? Does the LIQUOR STORE that also remains open during this pandemic DO ANY OF THESE THINGS for the safety of their customers?  

A family need not be separated. to do so is STUPID. Evidently the 6 foot rule was being enforced to whatever degree. The families that came together stayed together. So why the OBTUSE and biased view against the church here? I believe that is because some people have bought into the the concept of communism and don;t really understand what American freedom and liberty is all about.
