Crying and Boycotting The NFL


Hi Christ-Followers,
This may seem like a bit of different blog today; however, I guess I was triggered when I read something about those boycotting the NFL were "crying." As a retired Veteran, I firmly believe each person has the right to express themselves; at least we do so in the USA. So, I am in no way saying that those opposing my view point should be quiet. And I guess the one thing I do know, is I am going to boycott the NFL because I do feel like a good cry would be in order:

I cry because I buried way too many many military Veterans, more than most, and I buried some friends as well. I cry because I have watched those flags come off those coffins and be folded and handed to grieving spouses. I cry because I still remember, and have seen, the horrific wounds of war born by scores of the young 1% of our nation's population. Indeed, if I I am "crying," I am doing so for the families left behind. I am crying for those spouses who no longer have a mate to journey through life with them. I am crying because little boys and girls, of our warriors, no long have a Mom or Dad to help them grow to adulthood. I am crying for those who will bear wounds that destroyed their young bodies and minds, and they will bear those wounds for the rest of their lives. I am crying for their caregiver spouses who sleep very little for the fear their Veteran spouse just might harm themselves. I cry for those who are experiencing sleepless nights due to the nightmares they carry with them from now until they eventually go to their graves. I cry for those little girls and young women who are trafficked as sex-slaves, during the NFL season, especially the superbowl. I cry because of those wives beaten by their two-hundred or even three hundred pound husbands, and no one is held accountable.

Yes, these millionaires who live their lavish lives, have just as much a right to protest what they perceive to a wrong in our society. And I have the right to NOT view any NFL game. I have a right to not watch commercials related to the NFL nor support sponsors of the NFL. And I call on all 22 million Veterans to boycott this sporting venue until the NFL quits slapping Veterans, and their families in the face. I call on all Christians to boycott the NFL until the NFL works diligently to end Sex Trafficking at their games, especially the Super Bowl. I call for a complete Boycott until the NFL allows freedom of expression to Christians like Tim Tebow. And I call for a Christian boycott of the NFL until the NFL consistently holds abusive NFL wife beating players accountable for their terrible crimes against their families.

 Respectfully,
SoJourner

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!'
