The Wholesale Lie and the Aftermath

Posted in Abuse of Power, Being woke, Biden, Christian values, Communism, Crime, Elections, Important things, Kamala Harris, Politcal Opinion, Reporters, Social Media, The Clintons by

This post, in part refers to the previous post of a couple of days ago, “Helping the Devil.”  It also refers to the letter by over 50 former intelligence officials implying that the story about Hunter Biden’s laptop was a Russian hoax.

The letter was a lie.  At the time, they all knew it was a lie.  Now, we should all know it was a lie.  Unfortunately, because of the highly biased media, the word is not yet spread.  Oh, and by the way, those in the media knew it was a lie as well0.  Hence, they have aided in the lie and the cover up of the lie.

I could go on and on, but, surely, you get my point.  At least I hope you do.  I mean, it has now become obvious after the hearings in The House of Representatives committee.  A person of average intelligence should know about the lie by the intelligence community, even if they are in a sealed room and with their heads buried in the sand.

Well, I should know better.  As I said before, some people prefer to believe the lie because they want to.  They are staunch Biden fans and they won’t believe the truth when it hits them in the face.

At any rate, I’m done with that.  If you believe the truth now, good for you.  If you don’t, no power on earth will change your mind anyway.

At this point, I am writing on the premise that the lie is truly exposed and everyone knows it.  Now.  What of the aftermath?

First, to be sure, Satan is thrilled.  He has received the help of, not one, but millions of people.  There are those that told the lie.  There are those that helped to disperse the lie, as if it were rock solid true.  Knowing it was a lie, makes them liars too.  Then, there are the millions who believed the lie, not because of the evidence, but in spite of the evidence.

Many people say that if they knew it was a lie, they would not have voted for Old Joe.  Don’t know how true that is but let’s assume it is true.  The election would have gone to President Trump.  I really don’t think the devil would have liked that.  When Joe won, then so did Satan.

So, the damage is to the benefit of Satan and his helpers.  The dems, in the short term win.  Satin wins, for a while.  Trump and his supporters suffer.  Some have been illegally tried and convicted.  Some are still being held without being tried yet.  Businesses, which refuse to go woke, suffer.  In some cases, they have gone into bankruptcy.

The price of oil has skyrocketed, which has problems of its own.  Bribery, crime and fraud have grown rapidly.  Crime, and yes, gun crime is headed toward all time highs.  And, of course, Old Joe wants to let the criminals go and do away with the guns.

Here’s the important part, folks.  Open your eyes, because everyone needs to understand this.  It is almost all irreversible.  Some of it can be by the righted by the right president and congress.  How-some-ever, most of it is permanent.

Men, good men have been tossed out of the military because they refused to take a shot, which we now know is ineffective, possibly dangerous.  Even if they were re-instated today, those years of their lives are gone…forever.  They lost chances for promotions, maybe awards.

If a president were to pardon all the people improperly charged and imprisoned for January 6, those people have lost a big part of their lives.  Some have lost their health as a result of how they were treated in prison, intentionally.

If we drove the price of oil back down to twenty dollars a barrel, Putin would have to toss in the towel.  He’d no longer have the money to wage war on Ukraine.  That would be the good news.  The bad news is that the men who lost their limbs and their lives and their personal property; that cannot be fixed.  Hopefully, Putin would be looking for another job.

That disaster in Afghanistan, sorry.  The only one who can do a thing about that is God.  I am sure Satan loves that.  It makes it very difficult for the Gospel to be spread there now.  People will not know the plan of salvation and they will spend eternity in hell.  And, oh yes, those of you that like to champion women’s rights.  Forget it.  Many of the young women we were putting through school, if they didn’t escape, they were likely tortured and or killed.  I’m sure Satan loved that.  As for Old Joe.  I’m not ever sure he knows about it.  Oddly, I hope he lives out his term.  I can’t imagine what might happen with a president Harris.

When all is said and done, Satan has tightened his control on this country, on this world and, to some degree on all of us.

That wholesale lie helped Satan more than any of us will ever know.  Did they do it to help the devil?  I doubt it.  It really makes no difference.  It’s still the aftermath.  The damage was done.  Most of it can’t be undone.  And, by the way, in this post, I only touched the surface.  It is far worse than I can say or know.  Some people don’t know.  Some don’t care.  Some would not care if they did know.  A few…just a few, have gained power and fortunes.  It was their motive.  It was their desire.  Now that they have it, they certainly will hold onto it with all their might.

This brings me to my final point.  Just why did they tell the lie?  What was their purpose?  Those men knew what they were doing was wrong.  They knew something about what the outcome would be.  Why in the world did they come up with the idea of writing the letter and signing it?

I don’t know.  I have spent some time considering it.  I can guess there was likely some form of bribe.  On the other hand, were there threats?  Maybe someone told them they would lose their pensions.  Maybe there were threats made against their lives or the lives of relatives.  Did they really believe in Old Joe was the right man for the job?  That one really scares me.  Would they really, really be that dumb?

This side of infinity, none of us will really know, will we?  On the other hand, we will have to live with consequences; those of us that lived through it.

Who Has the Better Offer

Posted in Christian values by

I am just a little confused. There are those who chose religion over Christianity. Why? Just who has the better offer? Is Buddhism better than eternal life with Jesus. Is there something the Hindus offer that is better than what is offered by Christ.

Besides this, who has any power to fulfill any promise. I mean, to the best of my knowledge, even the Buddhists admit that Buddha is no longer living. What can he do for you? What could he do for you if he were still alive?

Only Jesus has a real promise. Only He has the power to fulfill the promise. Only He will provide you with life that will last…forever.

Why chase the counterfeit when Jesus, the real one, the only one who can truly provide you with eternal life. He not only has the better offer. He has the only offer. The rest have empty promises, if they have promises at all.

As my aside, be careful. There are those who would like you to believe they represent Christ, that they are ambassadors of the one true God. If they teach anything other than what is in the Bible, they are frauds. If they seek money and fame, be very careful. If they stand in pride in what they have done, most likely they don’t represent God. Finally, if they teach that you must belong to their church for salvation, they teach a lie.

While believing in Jesus Christ is an absolute requirement for salvation, belief in any church, in any organization, or in any person other than Jesus, is idolatry. It will gain you nothing. Rituals will not gain you salvation, even baptism and the Lords supper. However, we as Christians we observe baptism and the Lord’s supper in obedience only after we accept Jesus as our savior. Jesus, himself instituted the sacraments. He told us to celebrate the Lord’s supper in remembrance of Him. As he ascended into heaven, he told us to preach the Gospel and to baptize.

I Was Just Curious

From the time I was seven, I was brought up near Disneyland. Actually, that’s not 100% true. The theme park was just an orange grove at the time.

Yup. For some time, when we passed the spot, the remark was made, “That’s where they’re building Disneyland.” Perhaps the one thing that was most visible was the Peter Pan pirate ship.

The transformation that followed was simply unimaginable. The area around Disneyland went from orange trees to hotels, motels, restaurants and parking lots.

The whole Disney empire exploded as well. The studio turned out one huge success after success. The theme park grew in size and attendance.

First time I attended, it was about 3 or 4 dollars a person. If you didn’t go on the rides, that was it. Most, however, bought books which included admission, a few each of A through E tickets. The A tickets, well, most used about half of them. The prize tickets were the E tickets. Invariably, most bought extra E tickets.

For a while it actually caused a frequently used expression, “Well, that was an E ticket,” implying it was a really good experience.

Well. Things have changed and they have changed. Just getting into the park is horribly expensive. I don’t know how people afford it.

Just out of curiosity, I looked it up on line. First, I had a difficult time determining what it costs for 1 day. All the quotes I saw were for three days or for multi-park costs. It seemed to me a classic up salesmanship.

It is as if, if I want just a day in the park, then they have no interest in me. Well, I did find the cost, sortof. It changes, depending on the time of the year.

Well, they may not have much interest in me. The feeling is mutual. Ever since Walt Disney died, the whole empire has been taking a dive, big time. Their movies are failing. Their park attendance is slipping and even ABC is having problems.

It’s sort-of what happens when companies go woke. It’s sort of what happens when they produce children’s movies with adult subjects and inappropriate material in them.

Moreover, they seem to lack originality. They keep redoing old movies with a woke touch. It just really doesn’t work. Most parents won’t put up with it.

It’s showing up on Disney’s bottom line and they just don’t get it. It would seem they believe that if they keep trying, that round peg is going to go though that square hole.

Controllers in Control of the Churches

Posted in Biden, Christian values, Crime, Deceit, January 6, law enforcement, Lawyers and Representation, Liberals, Obama Care, Politcal Opinion, Religion, responsibility & irresponsibility, Social Media, The Clintons, Uncategorized by

It is no new idea of mine that it is time for our churches to rid themselves of control by DC. One might ask, “How is Washington controlling our churches?” By the tax-exempt status. The law says that if the preacher speaks on politics, then they are in danger of losing their tax-exempt status. Therefore, they don’t speak on politics. Therefore, DC controls the subject from the pulpits. It is the same way that Washington controls the schools, the speed limits and who knows how many other things.

But, if we give up our exempt status, then people will stop giving to the church. They will go to other churches. Sounds just exactly like what they want us to say. Hence, I say, DC has control of the churches. Right now, it is in a minor way. However, I suggest it will only get worse, not better.

Moreover, I don’t think God likes the idea of Old Joe controlling what is said from the pulpit. If God directs the preacher to speak on the subject, regardless of the subject, Joe really ought not have any say.

Next, do they call abortion a political issue. Already, it is getting difficult to bring up homosexuality, though the Bible makes it quite clear that it is not political. What happens when Old Man Joe fusses for churches speaking about January 6. The instant a preacher says those imprisoned should be pardoned, bang, there goes the tax status.

After a while, the line between politics and religion will be blurred more and more through time. Better that we lie down the gauntlet now. Tell them, it’s First Amendment territory. They have no business telling us what we preach or when we preach it. It is called freedom of speech. It’s called freedom of religion. It’s not called Remote control by DC by improper taxation.

We might lose some folks from the pews. Maybe it is better.

Then again, those churches that don’t mind receiving instruction from DC, then, by all means, say nothing about politics. Say nothing about abortion. Say nothing homosexuality. Careful about what say about crime and law enforcement. Mostly, don’t say a word about the candidates and what they believe. If we take money, then it’s not legal.

As my aside. Bear in mind, there are churches that have no problems maintaining their tax-exempt status while talking about politics, politicians and even encouraging politicians to speak from their podiums. They teach what the dems teach and they have no difficulty in blatantly disobeying the law. The dems have no difficulty blatantly ignoring the disobedience. And of course, one must be very careful about pointing this out.

The Great Counterfeiter

Posted in Christian values, Uncategorized by

I suppose it’s been close to 10 years now. Not absolutely sure it’s true, but the story goes like this. A group of high school kids, as an experiment, decided to see if they could make and pass off counterfeit money produced with a scanner and high-quality color printer. When they found out they could, they did.

Of course, that’s not legal, even if it works. For a couple of weeks, it had the Desoto County, MS area in something of a tizzy. Once discovered by the authorities, they started trying to chase the source down. On the other hand, when the merchants and banks found out, they started checking the money they received with a fine tooth comb.

To be sure, when just a few start making their own money, to some extent, we all suffer. There are reasons for this. If it is permitted to continue, it devalues the currency. Foreign countries are less likely to honor the real stuff. Besides, it’s all just plain wrong, even if it is an experiment.

Throughout the history of our country, there have been folks trying to make money, the wrong way. We are supposed to go out and get a job, not print it. Unfortunately, money is not the only thing around that folks try to counterfeit. Certainly, works of art signatures, watches, and would you believe, purses are just a few things that people try to copy well enough to pass off as originals. Selling Rolex watches that aren’t made by Rolex have been the plot of many a story. Not being an expert, I don’t know how prevalent that is. However, can you imagine spending a thousand dollars for a watch that is nothing but a knockoff. Worse yet, the thing might not even keep good time. (in itself, that would be a blot on Rolex)

This begs the question, why do people counterfeit? For what purpose do they go to such great lengths to defraud their fellow citizens. While it might seem a simple question to which there is a simple answer, it is a little more complicated. Well, think… what about our Southaven students. They just wanted to see if they could.

And so, it is with many. There is something of a pride that goes with the success of producing a painting that looks just like a Renoir. Then too, it is something of a silent pride that must be kept quiet. Then too, it might be used as a type of weapon. During WWII, the Germans from time to time tried to dump fake money into our system. It provided a double advantage for them. First, it helped them with their war effort, and second, it could have caused a meltdown of our economy.

There is an odd feeling of accomplishment. Even when they know that they will eventually be caught, they do it just for the sake of being able to say, “I did it.” To some degree, the wealth they derive is somewhat secondary to some.

There is something of another question involved. To succeed, the counterfeit must resemble the original. It seems simple but people have gone to all kinds of lengths to make a fake twenty-dollar bill look like just exactly like the original. On the other side, the US mint is going to all sorts of lengths to make impossible to copy, which, by the way, increases the costs of legally making money. When we pull out that twenty to pay for that hamburger and fries, we take it for granted. However, a great deal of money went into the design and printing of those bills. Fortunately, they keep the price down by making a few thousand at a time.

Nonetheless, occasionally, someone comes along and finds a way to get away with it for a while. It’s one of those things that provides job security for the Secret Service as well as the rest of law enforcement. It also keeps the banks busy checking what they bring in as well as what they disperse. No bank wants to get the reputation of passing bad money.

There is however, one counterfeiter who has been getting away with it a long time. For thousands of years, he has counterfeited the work of God. Satan promises the same happiness as God and, like all counterfeiters, provides nothing but grief. He promises the good life and, in the end, he causes death.

Of course, to counterfeit God’s work, he has to make it look good and he does. Indeed, billions have been taken in by his false promises and hopes. Without exception, what he provided the world was pain and suffering. In the Garden of Eden, what he has done for the human race, was to deceive mankind into death and men have been paying for it ever since.

Why do men fall for his counterfeit happiness. It’s simple. It looks good. The successful counterfeits always do. So, we humans, look at the counterfeit and chose it over the real thing. It is a choice of deception, and it will not go away until the devil himself goes away.

As the banks check those twenties, it would behoove us to take a second look. Let’s make sure we aren’t accepting counterfeit happiness instead of the real thing… that which is provided by God, our maker, our provider and our savior. That which the devil and his minions provide are, in the end, far too expensive.

By the way folks, lest you get the wrong idea, I too have been deceived and from time to time am deceived to this day. I speak from experience not theory. Sorrows, never happiness, follow sin. Now, into my 70s, I know about what I speak. If you be wise, learn from my mistakes. Chose God, not the counterfeiter. Chose happiness, not sorrow, pain and grief.

Soloman Chose Wisdom

Posted in Christian values by

It is an interesting selection. To be sure, given the fact that he was going to be king of God’s chosen people, I guess it is the wisest choice. From time to time, Soloman was given impossible decisions and quickly resolved them; for example, the two women and the baby. It is not only a wise decision but one that has been used down through the years in varied ways.

Now, no one has asked me what I want, but if God did, I would be a little self-centered in that I would want two gifts. Certainly, I would like to be just as close as I could get to God and still have my feet on terra firma. Well, I did say it was selfish. It would be very difficult for me to think of anything better.

The second choice would be to be the gift of healing. I have no disillusions. I suspect that maybe it would have aspects I cannot foresee. Jesus had the perfect power to heal, and they nailed him to a tree. Moreover, I know that any such gifts should not be used for me but to further the great news, what others call the gospel.

Once word got out that I could put my hands on a person and make them well, I would be, perhaps, the most well-known person on this planet. Almost anyone who makes it to their thirties have health problems. No parents want to see their child succumb to cancer. How many parents would love to see their child healed of some kind of crippling disease or injury.

I’m afraid that as soon as I hung out my shield, I would have a mile long line. As soon as it became known that I was for real, the line would become ten miles long. I don’t think I like that. I mean I would have no problem working more than an eight-hour day healing people. I’d love it. I just don’t think it would be the ideal way doing it. I would not like the side-show atmosphere.

I think it would be better if I go from place to place unannounced. I could visit the bed ridden and the diseased. In each case, I could say a word or two about who Jesus is and how he wants to save all people of all races throughout the world. I could explain how one must accept Jesus as his personal savior. For he is the only one who has that power to save. He does not impart it to any man. I would explain how he or she must have faith to be saved, for we ourselves have no such power to do it or add to it.

To the lame I would say, “Just as you had not the power to heal yourself, you have no power to save yourself. It is just as vein and pathetic to try to heal oneself of ALS as it is to heal oneself of the curse of sin.

Well, I don’t have the gift of healing and likely never will. Still, I can spread the great news of salvation. Sometimes I’ll be scoffed or ridiculed. Then too, occasionally, someone might understand and accept what the Bible says about it as truth.

Jesus himself said, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God,” John 3:3. You notice how emphatic the words are. You notice there is not so much as one exception. So, it would seem, according to the spoken word of Jesus that there is simply no way around it. If you have not had a second birth, you will not see the kingdom of God. How much plainer can it be. How clear it is that it is most important to each and every one of us.

To Nicodemus at the time, heard Jesus likely spoke in Aramaic. To us, the translation is clear. Yet, millions will hear these words and ignore them, though they are some of the most important words ever spoken. The entire chapter of John 3 might be the most important words ever spoken by anyone. It would behoove all of us to read them and read them again until we can quote them from memory.

Soloman chose wisdom. If you have not been born again, the wisest decision of your life is to seek the salvation that has been offered as a gift by Jesus.

Incidentally, don’t even try to earn the gift. You haven’t the power. You definitely haven’t the authority. You can only make the choice to accept or reject it. Then, the instant you accept it, all your sins, past, present and future will be removed from your records. You will not be held accountable for them ever. That is what is called forgiveness and God alone has the power to forgive sin.

Error, Error

Posted in Christian values by

I heard a preacher, don’t know his denomination. Makes no difference. Just happened that I landed on the channel for a few seconds. What he said made me think. Hopefully, it will cause others to think. Basically, he said we should not do good for reward.

Now, you know. That just sounds right. To be sure that doing good without expecting reward is admirable. I have often considered the impossible. For once I would like to surprise the Lord and do something good that he doesn’t expect. You and I both know that’s not going to happen, though I’d suspect that He would like it if we try. And He would especially like it if we expected little or nothing in return.

However, it is an error. When we do that which is good, it is what we are expected to do anyway. I mean, what good can we do that He doesn’t already tell us to do? What good can we do that is outside of His instructions.

So I thought on it and realized what the preacher said was in error. Salvation itself is a reward for faith. Abraham was rewarded for his faith and for demonstrating his faith. Soloman was rewarded for asking for wisdom, not power, fame or riches. God rewarded him with power, fame and riches. In at least one place, I can’t think of the passage, but we are admonished to seek first the kingdom of God. In this it is implied that we should expect reward in possibly this life or the next.

Over and over again, God told the Israelites to do as He told them, and they would be rewarded greatly, and they were. Certainly, He didn’t imply that they should do right just because it is right. God did offer the rewards. The first five books of the Bible are full of examples of God offering rewards for obedience. If it is wrong to expect rewards, it does produce a bit of irony. For, doing good for reward would be doing bad. Hence, as the preacher said, we should not seek reward.

On the other hand, if we do good simply because we love him and want to please him, that’s a pretty good thing too.

However, in all this, we should remember that without Christ Jesus, it is impossible for us to please God. That is true, reward or not. Our hope isn’t so much to impress Him but to be obedient and have faith. The two are just almost synonymous. Because of the faith we obey him. In doing so, we will please God, and we will be rewarded, whether we seek reward or not.

Certainly, also, we should be careful of what we expect for a reward. Fame and fortune can be as much of a curse as a blessing. Still, I wouldn’t mind a little more in my bank account. Never did care much for fame. If you see me at a party, you’ll likely find me in the corner where I won’t be noticed.

All or Nothing

Posted in Christian values, Uncategorized by

If I say I will do a thing for you and then you help with it, can I really say I did something for you?

Of course not. I simply, to some degree, helped you. I cannot say that I totally did that thing for you.

If God does something for you and you say you helped, you lie, unless you really helped. No one can help in your salvation, which is absolutely impossible. You can neither save yourself nor can your help in your salvation. The sooner you face that, the closer you are to true salvation. God said that He will save you if you put your faith in Him. That means you acknowledge you need salvation and that means that you put your faith in Him, totally. This does not mean some faith in him and some faith in yourself. It does not work that way.

Worse, when you try to contribute to your salvation, you are doubting Him, saying that his work is not sufficient, that he needs help from you. Also, you are trying to say that you are good enough to help. That simply is not true.

It is an all or nothing proposition. You either put your total faith in Him or you have not any faith in him at all.

I find no place in the Bible that says as much, but it does seem a good way for God to deal with our pride. Those that go to heaven will not be able to brag about how they helped in their salvation. There will be no boasting, “I helped twenty percent” while another boasts I helped thirty percent. Those that go to heaven will all have to admit that they helped zero percent. If there is any bragging to do, it will be on our Lord Jesus Christ. It was upon his shoulders that all sin was placed. It was He who died and He who arose from the dead on the third day as prophesied. It was Him who took the scourging of the whips and It was Him Who died on the cross in our place. In no way did we help Him at any point along the way. And, in a thumbnail sketch, that is how we were saved.

Does anyone really want to boast that he or she helped. Did he hang on the cross with Jesus? Did he actually bear the penalty of his own sin? Did he die and then come back from the grave to live forever? Of course not. We none of us has anywhere near the power. That is why He did it for us. That is why we must put our faith in Him and not in ourselves.

Remember: faith plus works is not faith at all.

Believable? Really?

Rarely does a situation come up where you just know the federal government is lying. One such situation was the report on the Kennedy assassination. I don’t have any idea how many believe that one, but it can’t be many. Too many holes in it. Actually, too many obvious holes in it. Too much secrecy. To many efforts to cover things up.

However, I’d like to call a new one to your attention today, the so-called suicide of the former monster we knew as Jeffrey Epstein. Oddly they are trying to say he committed suicide.

Actually, in a roundabout way, I do believe them. I don’t know about you, but I have seen more than one movie where the disgraced man is handed a gun. Then, of course, he is expected to us it…on himself.

I guess such things happened. I don’t know for sure. Likely there were a few German generals that were treated like that. The implication of course, “Avoid the disgrace. Kill yourself and permit your family to live on without the dishonor.”

You might ask, would I suggest that a monster like Epstein commit suicide? Probably not. I really don’t think the man had honor. On the other hand, he did have friends and relatives. Just how important to they were to him, I don’t know. In killing himself, he just might have proved he did care about them.

I mean, it would have been very easy for one of the guards to deliver him a message. Then of course, they would all leave him alone long enough for the threat to work.

With all the famous rich people who have so much at stake, it is easy for me to believe that the threat was made. It is far easier to believe that than the far out story some government officials thought up.

The thing is, it matters not. Just as with Kennedy, they don’t really expect us to believe it. With all that is at stake, no one will ever disprove it. Those that have the courage lack the means. Those who have the means, lack the courage. We don’t really have to swallow the story, just pretend we do.

And so it is, one of the most unbelievable stories in history will stand for the duration. All those involved with the monster, those that took the trip out to his little island can rest easy. No one will ever disclose their secrets. (May I remind a few of you? Pres. Clinton was one of those who took his plane out to the island a time or three. I guess he managed to slip through another one, though it cost the life of his fiend of a friend.)

Differing Points of View

Posted in Abuse of Power, Being woke, Biden, Bribes, Christian values, Communism, Controllers, Deceit, Elections, FOC, Going Green, January 6, law enforcement, Lawyers and Representation, Pelosi, Planned Parenthood, Politcal Opinion, Socialists, Uncategorized, Unions by

Down through the history of the Republican and the Democrat parties, there have always been differing points of view. However, they both had the good of the country in mind. I don’t like the way President Kennedy did things. I really don’t like the way he managed his personal life, but he fought the communists’ countries fiercely and he always had the good of the nation in mind.

Today things are different. Not only do the parties have differing points of view, but the dems do not have well being of the country in mind. They hate the Constitution and are using its precepts to destroy it. Indeed, it is their desire to destroy the country and meld it into a single world government.

Worse yet, they are willing to ignore any law to accomplish it. They have no problem destroying the home of the brave so that they can install their nation of puppets. And yes, they stand accusing others of lying, while all the time telling their own whoppers. If they are caught in their lies and deceptions, then it’s back to their old ways, deny, deny, deny.

They continually demand compromises from the Republicans. Does anyone remember a dem was willing to give an inch. Invariably, in the end, there is no compromise with them. In the end, they win, and we lose. For if we keep compromising, we relinquish everything including our precious freedom.

Then, there will not be any more differing points of view. They will not be permitted. They won’t be allowed, even in thought. If you say something out of line, it won’t be the government after you. It will be your neighbors. It will be those who live across the street or across town. In the end, it will even be your friends in church, until, of course, there are no more churches.
