A Christ Follower: The Journey

When the foundations are being destroyed,  what can the righteous do ? Psalm 11:3           Anyone who truly has observed history, and lived through it for decades, can see that something has really happened in the United States of America.  Our country began with a foundation based on our Judeo-Christian heritage.  Persecuted people came here to be free, especially in the area of religion. They wanted the freedom to worship and live freely according to the dictates of their heart. The first amendment to the Constitution of The United States of America guaranteed this freedom. Then an atheist woman named Madalyn Murray O'hair took on our foundational principles by going to the courts to prevent Bible reading in our schools.  This was 1963 in Murray V. Curlett , and she prevailed. The next year sponsored prayer was taken out of school.

Terrorism Hits America... Again ! Guest Blog From Association of Christian Counselors www.aacc.net Americans awakened on June 12, 2016 to horrific headlines: a gunman with apparent ties to radical Islam/Isis murdered 50 Americans and wounded more than 50 others in cold blood in Orlando, Florida.

Shining The Light On A Small Part of Islam  A nd It's Sharia Law As I sit here at my computer, I am reflecting on Orlando and the most horrific murderous act committed on American soil since September 11, 2001.  What could motivate a human being to murder 50 something people and wounded many others?  Was he insane?  Was it just evil taking him over?  Or was it motivated by his view of  a god and what that god requires? I think the answer is all of the above:  How can anyone do such a thing without being insane?  How can it not be evil, at least that's what my Christian faith teaches. Evil, in english, is the opposite of live. Spell live backwards, in english, and you get evil.  Jesus says it this way, "The thief (the devil) comes to steal, kill and destroy.  By the way, in english, Devil is the opposite of lived. So, I guess what I am saying is that whatever or whoever destroys innocent life is motivated by evil or even an evil entity like the Devil, whether th
