We also know that opinions are far different than facts and the actual state of affairs within the lives of our citizens. Opinions do not always base themselves on or reflect the facts of life or the actual true state of affairs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\"> Facts or the actual truth of the matters that exist are never to be argued as real truth does not change. It remains constant throughout all time. Consequently no argument is necessary as nothing will ever change no matter how much argument over it occurs. <strong>Truth is and remains truth! It is unchangeable!<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\"> Now I fully realize there will be some of you readers and listeners who will disagree with what I am about to discuss&#8230;But since I am speaking only the True Truth as God gives it to mankind through the power and authority of His written Word, no amount or degree of argument will change or alter any of what I am about to say. Permit me to suggest to you to listen,&#8230;listen to what I am saying now with an open mind and with an open heart. Give God a chance to talk to you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\"> Our heavenly Creator, God Almighty, makes no mistakes and tells no lies. By virtue of His own Character he is incapable of lying or speaking anything that is not the true truth of life. That is why the Word of God is infallible.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\"> You either believe in God or you don\u2019t. There is no middle ground or indecisive position regarding believing in God. You see, God has revealed Himself to mankind openly and boldly through three separate and distinct entities: (1) Creation, (2) Prophecy, and (3) His written Word. All three of these sources reveal the existence of a Creator before the very foundation of this world was brought into being. Every aspect of Creation is then backed up and confirmed through the Holy Bible. Every bit of this information is supported and substantiated through all of the sciences and the analysis and scrutiny of the mind of man. <strong>Facts are indeed facts and cannot be argued as they do not change. Here are the facts: (1) There is a God, (2) He is greater than man, and (3) God created man<\/strong>&#8230;.not the other way around. That\u2019s It! Period! One other very interesting and exciting fact you should know about the Word of God, The Holy Bible, that separates it from all other books ever written, is that it is the ONLY BOOK that accurately and completely predicts the future.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\"> The Word of God was written by 40 different authors, in 66 individual books, over roughly a period of 1500 years, and in several different languages. And with all those parameters, there has never been found a real contradiction or mistake! Think about what I just said&#8230;..Absolutely incredible!<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\"> Having said all of this and using the reasoning based upon the facts I have just given you, let\u2019s fast forward to the present and our political processes and designations of today. Our Government operates under a two party political system. As of today, each party has about equal size and strength, which is why there is so much political gridlock. They can\u2019t agree and they won\u2019t change. And there is no real majority. That is real leadership in its highest form, isn\u2019t it?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\"> Here are the actual Facts. There are two political parties that make up our political system of government:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">(1) <strong>Republicans,<\/strong> also known as <strong>Conservatives,<\/strong> also known as being on the <strong>right wing<\/strong> side of our national government and its issues&#8230;.and<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">(2) <strong>Democrats,<\/strong> also known as <strong>Liberals,<\/strong> also known as being the <strong>left wing<\/strong> side of our national government and its issues.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\"> Let us all do a mini Bible Study to discover the truth of the matter concerning the <strong>Right<\/strong> and the <strong>Left.<\/strong> This is how God says it is to be.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\"> Our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, made it as clear as is possible when He spoke about the coming Judgement of Nations in The Book of Matthew, Chapter 25, verses 31&#8211;46 NKJV:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\"> (31) \u201cWhen the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the holy angels with Him, then He will sit on the throne of His glory.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">(32) All the nations will be gathered before Him, and He will separate them one from another, as a shepherd divides his sheep from the goats.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">(33) And He will set the sheep on His <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">RIGHT HAND<\/span>, but the goats on the <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">LEFT<\/span>.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">(34) Then the King will say to those on his <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">RIGHT HAND<\/span>, \u2018Come you blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">(35) for I was hungry and you gave Me food; I was thirsty and you gave Me drink; I was a stranger and you took Me in;<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">(36) I was naked and you clothed Me; I was sick and you visited Me; I was in prison and you came to Me.\u2019 <\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">(37) Then the righteous will answer Him, saying, \u2018Lord, when did we see You hungry and feed You, or thirsty and give You drink?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">(38) When did we see You a stranger and take You in, or naked and clothe You?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">(39) Or when did we see You sick, or in prison, and come to You?

This entire story is told in the Book of John, Chapter 21, verses 3&#8211;14 NKJV:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">(3) \u201cSimon Peter said to them, \u2018I am going fishing.\u2019 They said to him, \u2018We are going with you also.\u2019 They went out and immediately got into the boat, and that night they caught nothing.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">(4) But when the morning had now come, Jesus stood on the shore; yet the disciples did not know that it was Jesus.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">(5) Then Jesus said to them, \u2018Children, have you any food?\u2019 They answered Him, \u201cNo.\u201d<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">(6) And He said to them, \u2018Cast the net on the <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">RIGHT SIDE<\/span> of the boat, and you will find some.\u2019 So they cast and now they were not able to draw it in because of the multitude of fish.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">(7) Therefore that disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, \u2018It is the Lord!\u2019 Now when Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he put on his outer garment (for he had removed it), and plunged into the sea.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">(8) But the other disciples came in the little boat (for they were not far from land, but about two hundred cubits), dragging the net with fish.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">(9) Then, as soon as they had come to land, they saw a fire of coals there, and fish laid on it, and bread.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">(10) Jesus said to them, \u2018Bring some of the fish which you have just caught.\u2019<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">(11) Simon Peter went up and dragged the net to land, full of large fish, one hundred and fifty-three; and although there were so many, the net was not broken.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">(12) Jesus said to them, \u2018Come and eat breakfast.\u2019 Yet none of the disciples dared ask Him, \u201cWho are You?\u201d&#8212;knowing that it was the Lord.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">(13) Jesus then came and took the bread and gave it to them, and likewise the fish.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">(14) This is now the third time Jesus showed Himself to His disciples after He was raised from the dead.\u201d<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\"> Now I think in an effort of fairness we should look at both sides of this coin&#8230;.the question begs to be asked&#8230;what is the true origin of the political terms Right and Left? Keep in mind that Right attaches to Conservatives, and Left to Liberals. Now to all learned and well read and advised men and women, the Truth of Life is that God\u2019s infallible Word, The Holy Bible, is the source of all truth that exists within and around the life of mankind. Its contents and teachings are irrefutable. Its declared truths are absolute. The Holy Scriptures are very clear on this subject. For just a few of many examples see The Book of Psalms, Chapter 100, verse 5 NKJV:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\"> \u201cFor the Lord is good; His mercy is everlasting. And His truth endures to all generations.\u201d<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\"> Again the Scriptures tell us in the Book of 1 Timothy, Chapter 3, verse 15, NKJV:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\"> \u201cbut if I am delayed, I write so that you may know how you ought to conduct yourself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of truth.\u201d<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\"> God\u2019s Word is specific. In the Book of John, chapter 1, verses 1, and 14, NKJV it reads:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">(1) \u201cIn the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.\u201d<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">(14) \u201cAnd the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as the only begotten of the Father,&#8230;<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">full of grace and truth.<\/span>\u201d<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\"> But here is the Truth of the Word of God that makes it perfectly clear about the Right and the Left. It is in the Book of Ecclesiastes, Chapter 10, verse 2, NKJV:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\"><strong> \u201cA wise man\u2019s heart is at his right hand, But a fool\u2019s heart at his left.\u201d<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\"> It surely cannot get any simpler than that&#8230;..I know for absolute certain that I personally want to be on the right side of all things! I want to be a wise man.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\"> There are so many other verses of Holy Scripture that tell us about the reliability of The Word of God and its trust-worthy-ness,&#8230; but suffice it to say that God\u2019s Word is the Truth of Life itself.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\"> As a closing point&#8230;.let\u2019s have a quick spelling lesson.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\"> The last four letters in American&#8230;&#8230;. <strong>I Can<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\"> The last four letters in Republican&#8230;.. <strong>I Can<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\"> The last four letters in Democrats\u2026&#8230; <strong>Rats<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\"> End of lesson.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\"> The real test is to follow on Tuesday, November 4, 2014, Election Day.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\"> Don\u2019t Forget&#8230;<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\"> November 2014 is to be set aside as rodent removal month.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\"> God wants us to be like Him&#8230;Conservative!<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\"> Peace And Love to All of You&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;Poppa Bear<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We all know that almost everyone has a personal opinion, and that as Americans they have every right to have their own opinions.
