Excelling is one thing
Creating a lie another
Problems with inclusion
I wonder why they lie to themselves to feel powerful. Some mother problem
Peculiarities of white families. Their management of their dysfunctions. The communal structure was not as stable as it seemed.
Because of assumed superiority, having all social needs met within their community, and the refusal of the American black community to assimilate.
Perceived limits of development in black communities. Lack of shared interests, they do not desire the same goals, the expectations of level of attainment as well as behavior on a daily basis are still not high.
Laziness meaning the lack of creating the space necessary for equality or better was not done.
Other communities, nonwhite, shared goals and values meaning that they interacted in similar manners and would learn from the community high level behaviors.
The over emotional response to the American black communities decision to reject all white culture even if it was more advanced and better, was extrapolated to all black communities.
Highly strung white communities without much restrain self control allowed their anger to associate blackness with anti communal behavior.

"We Recognize No Sovereign but God, and no King but Jesus!" John Adams and John Hancock, April 18, 1775
A spiritual authority is an authority without a body. Christians only obey God as their spiritual authority.
God gives governments authority through written law. We should never submit to superstitious behaviors.
If thou faint in the day of adversity, thy strength is small." - Proverbs 24:10

Is Providing for our Children an Acceptable Excuse for Selfishness?
It is a deception of Satan to preach that it is necessary for us to be selfish and self-serving all allegedly for the sake of our children. If we are supposed to trust God to take care of us, how much more are we to trust Him to take care of our children, who do not belong to us, but to Him. This is a popular lie to justify destructive and essentially evil behaviors. God gives us grace and provides for us, but we are never relieved from our duty to provide for the less fortunate.
If Christ, while He was on earth, would share His own meal with those who needed food, how much more are we, even when we are poor, under obligation to give. The widow of Zarephath was commanded by God through Elijah to take the very last of her food before she and her child starved to death and give it to the prophet of God, so that she could be provided for by God. There is no one who calls himself Christian who can allow himself to excuse this Satanic spirit on the basis of necessity.
Elijah said to her, "Don't be afraid. Go home and do as you have said. But first make a small cake of bread for me from what you have and bring it to me, and then make something for yourself and your son. 14 For this is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: 'The jar of flour will not be used up and the jug of oil will not run dry until the day the LORD gives rain on the land.' " I King 17.13
To be as generous as Abraham, or Job, or any of the many wealthy biblical heroes, we have to realize that money is not for us to hoard, but to do our job, which is to be a source of relief and comfort in the world. We are given resources as stewards, as middlemen in the processing of money.
"But God said to him, 'You fool! This very night your life will be demanded from you. Then who will get what you have prepared for yourself?' Luke 12.20
A lack of generosity eventually turns into violent destruction towards others and insipid self-serving behaviors. Money is one of the talents that God gives to people which is supposed to be a means of transforming the lives of others.

True Love
To Lucasta. Going To the Warres.
I.
II.
III.
Pasted from <Poetry Blog>
I.
Tell me not, (sweet,) I am unkinde,
That from the nunnerie
Of thy chaste breast and quiet minde
To warre and armes I flie.
II.
True: a new Mistresse now I chase,
The first foe in the field;
And with a stronger faith imbrace
A sword, a horse, a shield.
III.
Yet this inconstancy is such,by Richard Lovelace
As you too shall adore;
I could not love thee, dear, so much,
Lov'd I not Honour more.

More than externals
You must allow regualar people to love whoever they want to. Stylized love is fine, but sensible love should be encouraged. A man should not be embarrassed to love a woman with thick ankles.
Play the man
Play the man, it says somewhere. Where are the men who actually have the strength to withstand the rabble?
Ninnies, lets not completely lose perspective!
It is much too much
It is becoming narcissistic and vain
All these idiots had to do was acknowledge something greater than themselves
But they refused to do it
Who wants the mewling affections of an idiot who insists that he will not love the best
Or love whomever his heart desires
Either would be admirable
But to love the one that makes you look good and popular
Is the highest level of conceit
And narcissism
To constantly lie to oneself to prevent giving any credit to the excellence and power of others is primitive.
Lets not lose perspective, I would prefer truth to the high honor of your affection!

Prepared by God's Word
Jesus already provided for us to survive this attack by the occult, but telling us to share all things in common. The Christian church is meant to be communal.

A friend in need
We are free to love who we please.
Just let someone know if you no longer want to be friends.
Especially when they count on you for advice when they are afraid.

Christians do not have an unseen 'community'
Jesus is able to work in the unseen spirit-world miracles such as were foreshadowed by those, which he wrought in the visible natural world.
Spurgeon "The Devil's Last Throw"
There is no reason for us to interact or be concerned about the demon world. We only need to deal with reality.

Persecutions
Then the bishop, calling William, asked him if he would recant, and finding he was unchangeable, pronounced sentence upon him, that he should go from that place to Newgate for a time, and thence to Brentwood, there to be burned.
About a month afterward, William was sent down to Brentwood, where he was to be executed. On coming to the stake, he knelt down and read the Fifty-first Psalm, until he came to these words, "The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; a broken and a contrite heart, O God, Thou wilt not despise." Steadfast in refusing the queen's pardon, if he would become an apostate, at length one Richard Ponde, a bailiff, came, and made the chain fast about him.
William now cast his psalter into his brother's hand, who said, "William, think on the holy passion of Christ, and be not afraid of death." "Behold," answered William, "I am not afraid." Then he lifted up his hands to heaven, and said, "Lord, Lord, Lord, receive my spirit;" and casting down he head again into the smothering smoke, he yielded up his life for the truth, sealing it with his blood to the praise of God.

The mark of the beast
The time is not far distant when the test will come to every soul. The mark of the beast will be urged upon us. Those who have step by step yielded to worldly demands and conformed to worldly customs will not find it a hard matter to yield to the powers that be, rather than subject themselves to derision, insult, threatened imprisonment, and death. The contest is between the commandments of God and the commandments of men. In this time the gold will be separated from the dross in the church.--5T 81 (1882).

Our happy smile in suffering is the achievement that Christianity seeks.
We have achieved freedom from the body and this earthly prison.
We are more than conquerors.
We consider all kinds of tortures light afflictions because they do not touch what is important to us. We have the approval and power of God. His spirit directs and guides us. We are in the saved and holy family of God and commune with angels. This is our joy.
The joy of the Christian is more than the body can destroy. Our bodies are left down here on earth, but our souls are in heaven, communing with God. This is the achievement that God has attained through Jesus Christ our savior.
On Calvary Christ had given up everything for God. He was HIS daily bread, he lived on nothing else on earth and the whole focus of His heart was God's will. He feared God and to lose His life's desire
was supreme torture. Such pure focus and devotion meant greater suffering when God's spirit was removed.
When we hunger and thirst for righteousness above all things then the goal has been achieved because we are ready for heaven.

God's word manifest
The call to obedience is freedom from sin and the reflection of God's word.
When reflecting God's word we are connected to His power. His Spirit's power is our life and love.
Obeying God's word makes us the word of God manifest.
It is enough to reflect God's word to the world.

Temps on earth
With God we conquer
(for Him!)
We must learn not to fight for ourselves
As we are known to be in a losing battle
--The devil owns all things we have access to
We are here renting, to fight for God
We are here to fight for God's cause
No one serving as a soldier gets involved in civilian affairs—he wants to please his commanding officer.
2 Timothy 2.4
Yield your life to what is best for the cause of Christ so that He may do as He pleases with you.

The holy community
Dont bother to rise in the ranks of the unholy. Both Ecclesiastes and Proverbs state that it is better to live in the dirt than associate with these people.
We are to live in the biblical world, which does not include telepathy. It does not include ridiculous levels of self-development, which is completely useless for Christians and is a form of dependence on works.
The unholy have little and grasp for power, they become bigger and more violent. This path is a waste and to be avoided. We must live in a holy community for that reason and leave the wicked alone.

The Glorification of Christ and His Acceptance by God is the Source of Love
The prisoners held in dungeons were full of joy.
They have no reliance on the outer world.
Their souls are fed by the holiness of Christ and obediance to the master.

They Want Something that they Cannot Be
and so
they bash
in their frustration
(Superiority/Dominance)
Those who deserve superior things usually do not demand them

The Blessed of the Lord
Watchman, tell us of the night,
What its signs of promise are.
Traveler, o’er yon mountain’s height,
See that glory beaming star.
Watchman, does its beauteous ray
Aught of joy or hope foretell?
Traveler, yes—it brings the day,
Promised day of Israel.
Watchman, tell us of the night;
Higher yet that star ascends.
Traveler, blessedness and light,
Peace and truth its course portends.
Watchman, will its beams alone
Gild the spot that gave them birth?
Traveler, ages are its own;
See, it bursts o’er all the earth.
Watchman, tell us of the night,
For the morning seems to dawn.
Traveler, darkness takes its flight,
Doubt and terror are withdrawn.
Watchman, let thy wanderings cease;
Hie thee to thy quiet home.
Traveler, lo! the Prince of Peace,
Lo! the Son of God is come!
So thou, O son of man, I have set thee a watchman unto the house of Israel; therefore thou shalt hear the word at my mouth, and warn them from me.
Ezekiel 33:7
We as a christian community have failed our duty. We do not have the power to heal the sick. We are not self-supporting.

I cannot be with anyone
At that moment the sun touched the blood-red petals so that they shone more vividly than ever, and a little whisper rustled from the leaves.
My name is Bearing-the-Cost, but some call me Forgiveness.
Then Much-Afraid recalled the words of the Shepherd, On the way up the precipice you will discover the next letter in the alphabet of Love. Begin to practice it at once.
She gazed at the little flower and said, Why call you that?
Once more, a little whispering laugh passed through the leaves, and she thought she heard them say, I was separated from all my companions, exiled from home, carried here and imprisoned in this rock. It was not my choice, but the work of others who, when they had dropped me here, went away and left me to bear the results of what they had done.
I have borne and not fainted; I have not ceased to love,
and Love helped me push through this crack in the rock
until I could look right out onto my Love the sun himself.
See now! There is nothing whatever between my Love and my heart,
nothing around to distract me from him.
He shines upon me and makes me to rejoice,
and has atoned to me for all that was taken from me and done against me.
There is no flower in all the world more blessed or more satisfied than I,
for I look up to him as a weaned child and say,
Whom have I in heaven but thee, and there is none upon earth that I desire but thee.

Isaiah 63
And I looked,
and there was none to help;
and I wondered that there was none to uphold:
therefore mine own arm brought salvation unto me; and my fury, it upheld me.
And I will tread down the people in mine anger, and make them drunk in my fury, and I will bring down their strength to the earth.
For the day of vengeance is in mine heart, and the year of my redeemed is come.
