Guilty Until Proven Innocent

CAUTION:
THIS BLOG IS DIFFERENT TODAY

Today I am thinking briefly about a young man in Afghanistan who has been determined, by our press,  to be guilty until proven innocent.  "He did it..." they say.  It has happened more than once... the press has been wrong, and our troops-- for the most part-- turned out to be innocent of the atrocity or atrocities for which they have been accused.  What makes this so bad is the man was sent back a 4th time to the AOR, after being told he would never have to go.  You see he has a Traumatic Brain Injury, and he has lost part of his foot.

Because I have been wrongfully accused, I know how this feels, and it stinks.  But what really gets to me is that he had NO business going back to the AOR, given his psychological and physical conditioning. And our public news media needs to be sure to give him the respect most American citizens are given so that he is NOT tried in the media. 

He has given MORE than his pound of flesh to this country, as has his dear family.  We should at least give him the respect of due process.  We should at least treat him with the dignity and provide him constitutionally mandated rights.  In the USA he is, after all, innocent until proven guilty.

And if he is indeed guilty in the end, certainly we need to question how a man with a Traumatic Brain Injury (previously told he could no longer--nor would any longer) serve in a war zone could actually be sent back to war.   The potential for an insane action in the insane war theater was a bomb waiting to explode.  We need to question the stinking thinking that could have set this poor man up to fail.

I am just saying...

American & "Pride"

Image
 THE MEGA PROBLEM OF "PRIDE" Our country, and especially our leaders, have stolen a God Covenant Symbol-- THE RAINBOW-- which declares God's judgment for unholy living will never be accomplished through flood waters; however,  this doesn't mean God will NOT judge a nation,  or planet that is sin filled and full of pride.  We are living in a time that Jesus describes, in the Bible,  as "The Days of Noah." He prophesied of our day being like the generation that caused God to regret HE had ever made human beings.  Why? The answer is simple: HE had this regret because of "PRIDE." How 🤔 is pride demonstrated? 1. Pride shows itself when people worship the creature rather than THE Creator. 2 . Pride is exemplified when people become the idols, and mere human pseudo truth & rules for life are contrary to Almighty God's Law, which human beings use to govern life. 3. Pride is seen in our irreverence for God's name via the confession of our mouth

We Can Be So Much More.

Image
   We Can Be So Much More:  Let us learn about the powerful identity God the Father gives us, through our being IN Christ Jesus by the power of The Holy Spirit. Let us embrace our God given Eternal Inheritance.  ( Ephesians 1:3-14)  Let us get up, each morning and give ourselves up to God. (Romans 12:1-2.)  Let us wake up! And practice Gods practice of putting off the deeds of darkness, of being empowered to behave decently, like people who live in the day time. (Romans 13:11-14) Let us cloth our selves, in Jesus, by putting on the full armor of God each day! This will make us strong in the Lord and in His mighty power, and it will give us all we need to stand against the Devil's schemes. (Ephesians 6:10-20) Let us submit to God, and resist the Devil so he will have to flee from us. (James 4:7) Learn all we can about the enemy and know he has no authority over us. But in Christ we have God's resurrection power flowing in us and through us. In Jesus Name 🙏  SoJourner

W A T C H O U T ! ! ! JESUS TEACHING ON LEADERS

Image
  Jesus Rock Solid Teaching Regarding Picking Leaders Matthew 7:15-23      "Watch out for false prophets! They come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves!  By their fruits you shall recognize them!  Do people pick grapes from thorn bushes or figs from thistles? Likewise, every good tree bears good fruit, and every bad tree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit. Every tree that does NOT bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Thus by their fruit you will recognize them. Not everyone who says to me 'Lord, Lord' will enter the Kingdom of Heaven, but ONLY those who do the will of my Father in Heaven. Many will say to me on the day they give account of their lives, 'Lord, Lord' did we not prophesy in your name, and in you name drive out demons, and in your name perform many miracles?  Then I will tell them plainly, ' I never knew you! Away from me, you evil doers!'
