Sei klar, sei verständlich, sei unverschämt. Versuche bewusst, frühzeitig ein Einvernehmen mit denen zu erzielen, die du liebst, damit es nicht zu Missverständnissen kommt.

Wissen Sie, es gibt viele amerikanische Unternehmen, die das Kommunikations Problem hatten. Sie versuchten, ihre Produkte im Ausland anzubieten, aber manchmal gibt es eine Sprachbarriere, die überwunden werden muss. Vielen gelingt es nicht, ihre Botschaft sozusagen über die Brücke zu bringen.

Man nennt das „etwas geht in der Übersetzung verloren“, und das kann in bestimmten Situationen ein wenig humorvoll sein. 

Ein Beispiel: Die Parker Pen Company wollte ihre Kugelschreiber-Produktlinie in Mexiko ausweiten und entwickelte einen neuen Slogan: „Er läuft nicht in Ihrer Tasche aus und bringt Sie nicht in Verlegenheit.“ Das Problem war jedoch, dass sie nicht vollständig verstanden hatten, wie dieser Slogan auf Spanisch klingen würde. Stattdessen wurde er auf Plakatwänden so übersetzt: „Dieser Stift läuft nicht in Ihrer Tasche aus und schwängert Sie.“ Mann, das ist etwas anders als beabsichtigt. 

In Italien wurde eine Kampagne für Schweppes Tonic Water mit „Schweppes Toilettenwasser“ übersetzt. 

Es versteht sich von selbst, dass nicht viele Menschen Toilettenwasser trinken wollten. 

Jolly Green Giant, Sie erinnern sich sicher an sie, mit ihrem „Ho ho ho“ und ihrem Slogan „The Jolly Green Giant“. Nun, sie versuchten, auf dem arabischen Markt Fuß zu fassen, und stattdessen kam dabei „der furchteinflößende grüne Oger“ heraus. 

Haben Sie schon einmal Bohnen von diesem furchteinflößenden grünen Oger probiert? 

In Taiwan wurde der Pepsi-Slogan „Come alive with the Pepsi generation” (Werde lebendig mit der Pepsi-Generation) übersetzt zu „Pepsi wird deine Vorfahren von den Toten zurückholen”. Nun, je nachdem, um welche Vorfahren es sich handelte, war das vielleicht vielversprechend, vielleicht aber auch nicht. 

Clairol versuchte, seinen Mystic Curling Iron in Deutschland zu vermarkten, und statt „Mystic“ hieß es dort „Miststock“. Nicht viele deutsche Damen waren besonders begeistert davon, einen Miststock zu benutzen. 

In China nahm Kentucky Fried Chicken seinen Slogan „Finger-licking good“ und stattdessen kam es auf Chinesisch heraus als „Iss deine Finger ab“. Das gibt Chicken Fingers eine ganz neue Bedeutung, nicht wahr? 

Und schließlich verwendete der skandinavische Staubsaugerhersteller Electrolux in seiner amerikanischen Werbekampagne den folgenden Slogan: „Nothing sucks like an Electrolux“ (Nichts saugt so gut wie ein Electrolux). Das ist Surfer-Jargon. Ja, bei der Übersetzung geht etwas verloren. 

Aber wissen Sie was? Selbst Jesus Christus, so perfekt er auch ist, schien dieses Kommunikationsproblem mit seinen eigenen Jüngern zu haben. Es waren diejenigen, denen es an Hörvermögen mangelte. Sie verstanden nicht, warum er überhaupt auf diese Erde gekommen war, obwohl er es ihnen immer wieder sagte. 

Es kann hilfreich sein, etwas mit der Zeit auf verschiedene Weise zu wiederholen. Seien Sie klar in Ihrem Denken – ja, egal, wo auf der Erde Sie sich befinden. 

Ich denke, wenn es auf der Kanzel oder auf den Straßen neblig ist, scheint es dort rundherum auch bewölkt zu sein. 

Dr. Howard Hendricks besuchte früher unsere örtliche Kirche in Frisco, Texas, und er sagte einmal: „Nebel auf der Kanzel ist Nebel in den Kirchenbänken!“

„Jesus und seine Jünger gingen in die Städte von Cäsarea Philippi; und unterwegs fragte er seine Jünger und sprach zu ihnen: Wer sagen die Leute, dass ich sei?“ 28 Sie antworteten: „Johannes der Täufer; andere sagen, Elia; wieder andere, einer der Propheten.“ 29 Er fragte sie: „Aber wer, sagt ihr, bin ich?“ Petrus antwortete und sprach zu ihm: „Du bist der Christus.“ 30 Da verbot er ihnen streng, jemandem von ihm zu erzählen. Markus 8,27-30 nkjv.

Ein klares Zeugnis des Evangeliums erfordert einen klaren Geist des Evangeliums und eine mitfühlende Stimme des Evangeliums. Die Schrift fordert uns auf, so zu sprechen, dass die Menschen wirklich verstehen: „Eure Rede sei allezeit lieblich und mit Salz gewürzt, damit ihr wisst, wie ihr jedem antworten sollt“ (Kol 4,6). Klarheit ist kein Kompromiss, sondern Liebe, die auf die Wahrheit angewendet wird. Wenn die Herzen ewig sind und die Zeit kurz ist, sind vage Worte unfreundliche Worte.

Die Apostel waren Vorbilder dieser heiligen Klarheit. Paulus entschloss sich: „Wir predigen nicht uns selbst, sondern Christus Jesus, den Herrn“ (2. Korinther 4,5), und erneut: „Ich habe mich entschlossen, unter euch nichts zu wissen außer Jesus Christus, den Gekreuzigten“ (1. Korinther 2,2). Das Evangelium wurde nie unter kulturellem Jargon begraben. Es wurde klar und deutlich verkündet: Christus starb für die Sünder, stand wieder auf und ruft alle zur Umkehr und zum Glauben auf (1. Kor. 15,3–4; Apg. 17,30–31).

I put on my sunglasses and look way out there.. at where that golf ball lands. Don't you?

There's sure been a lot of accusations and countless attempts to vilify real Conservative leaders in this nation (with the help of Legacy media and most mainstream news media outlets). 

You've long heard it, I've heard it so much, but if there are no verifiable crimes committed, just doctored photos and false statements from Deep State enemies, then the person is not a criminal to me. If you can really prove it, then sure.. the person is a criminal and needs to be prosecuted. In this nation (of the USA) though, we are all still innocent until proven guilty.

Right!? 

May I explain more about where I am coming from? May I accurately describe the way I see the modern political arena today.. using my resort lesson from the game of golf on the TPC course? Why not if it is true? Go ahead, Kurt.

If you've carefully watched two professional duffers.. golfers out there on the 18-hole green, you might want to ask one simple question of them: 

How do you know if a golfer is actually good? 

One golfer tells you "good-at-the-game is clearly mastering all the little aspects of the PGA professional golf technique. And it's all about their flawless technical lecture style like on one's stance, how they angle their hips, their follow-through swing path and strength, their eye staying on the ball - beautiful, that's it! 

Uhh.. nope.  

One Pro golfer gave me this instead. Yep, he crossed his arms and said just one line in 7 words:

"I look at where the ball lands." 

That's exactly where the Libs, the GOP Deep State RINOs, including the elite political class, get it all wrong with Pres. Donald Trump. They obsess over and over again about the words he uses, the swing, the mean-sounding, blunt tone, seeming egotistical exaggerations and ALL THOSE negative headlines. Orange-man-bad! 

Man, I didn't vote for a pastor with sound theological speech and demeanor to lead my nation (perhaps one day I gladly will), but I care about one thing from my president. Good results for the citizens from a non-lying non-criminal who never points us towards worshiping gods ..other than the true God of the Bible. So, it's 2/14/26, and where's it been landing?

Where did the ball actually land? 

Think on this stuff: Our US National Security, the dangerous drugs like cocaine and fentanyl constantly entering our borders (that's way down), a stronger economy, falling inflation, solid GDP growth, lower gas prices (except in California), even egg prices (remember when that was a big thing)? Surely you do remember how that topic dominated 2024? Funny how nobody's screaming about it now. When problems get fixed, they disappear from The Narrative. Venezuela included. That's not chaos. That's results. Serious leadership isn't performance art its outcomes, not the swing. The results?

Lots of politicians. Talk a good game. They talk the talk, but don't walk a good walk. They fail to keep their promises. May I challenge you to under-promise and over-deliver.. to keep all your promises. 

It's about giving good results to the people who count on you to be the example who actually shows real care for the people and this nation. So many leaders in the USA never deliver on all their promises--I mean, with the good results they promised, but a few actually keep their promises. They actually deliver on em.

You and I feel political fatigue today..or? Perhaps. I think a lot of it is simply entertaining and humorous. One leader is a good entertainer, too. 

There's been no shortage of very public accusations, noise, and attempts to vilify. Yet in a nation governed by law, a person is not a criminal unless verifiable crimes are proven. In the United States, the principle still stands: innocent until proven guilty. That standard is not merely political; it reflects a deeper moral intuition that justice must be rooted in truth, not rumor. Evaluate well. Pray and discern well. 

“Do not judge according to appearance, but judge with righteous judgment.” John 7:24

Only God sees men's hearts and knows who is really saved. Jesus is the ultimate Solution for every nation, so let's focus on and speak more about him than even our best leaders in the Land. 

Think about that question and that Pro's basic lesson from golf.

How do you know if a golfer is truly good? 

I look at where the ball actually lands in relation to the hole. Did it go in or land near and then soon go in? 

We are on the winning team, Christian. Enjoy that. 

Has anyone really proven that Trump is a felon level Pedo-perve like we now know from the Epstein files, how SO many Dem and RINO leaders actually are? 

The Globalist Elites blow it in all their smug analysis of our president. They analyze his flawed swing endlessly: his very flawed words, his tone, all those headlines about him. 

Fault me all you want, but I, too, will opt and find myself asking the simpler question:

Where did the ball land? I'll let God do His big job of Judging hearts.

Was there stronger national security before with the other flawed US leaders? What about the growing economy? Easing inflation? Solid GDP growth? Lower gas prices? Even lower grocery staples like eggs? 

With other presidents, these were measurable outcomes that the American people felt in daily life, and still feel in California.

What does it mean that you will know them by their fruit in Matthew 7?

What does it mean to be a fruitful Christian?

What are some Bible verses about fruit?

What does the Bible mean when it says, “Do not judge”?

What did Jesus mean when He said, “I am the True Vine” (John 15:1)?

Again, review how certain issues dominated the public conversation in 2024, yet once some of those pressures eased, the urgency seemed to fade from the narrative. When problems are addressed, they quietly exit the spotlight. That is not chaos. That is the nature of results. Outcomes rarely shout; they simply stand.

As C.S. Lewis wisely observed, “Integrity is doing the right thing, even when no one is watching.” God sees us all in private and sees our president. 

Results often reveal integrity more clearly than rhetoric ever can.

You know that serious leadership is not performance art. It is measured not by how impressive the golf swing looks but by where that ball will ultimately fly and then stop. Outcomes matter more than mere Professional optics. Policies either bear fruit or they do not.

Wisdom is justified by all her children. Luke 7:35

Many politicians speak eloquently about the results they promise. They offer speeches filled with intention, vision, and reassurance. Yet promises, no matter how well worded, do not feed families, secure borders, stabilize markets, or strengthen a nation. Delivery does.

“The proof is in the pudding..it is in the eating,” a Kurt proverb 

A few leaders, however imperfect, keep their promises and produce tangible outcomes. Scripture reminds us that faith itself is recognized through action: “Faith without works is dead.” James 2:26. In the realm of governance, results function in a similar way. They are the visible evidence that intentions have been translated into reality.

The wise man looks beyond the flourish of the swing and studies the landing of the ball. And in the end, history does the same.

Godly character matters. Mere opinions don't really (not even from me of course). Good results matter. Kept promises do matter more. Scripture honors leaders not for all their rhetoric alone, but for the tangible good they secured for their people. Do they live a double life? 

Think About Biblical Leaders Who Delivered Measurable Good For The People.

  1. Joseph
    Preserved a nation through wise foresight and famine planning.
    “God sent me before you to preserve life.” Genesis 45:5

  2. Moses
    Led Israel from bondage to covenant order and national identity.
    “The LORD saved Israel that day out of the hand of the Egyptians.” Exodus 14:30

  3. Joshua
    Secured the land and established rest from war.
    “The LORD gave to Israel all the land… and they possessed it and lived in it.” Joshua 21:43–44

  4. Deborah
    Delivered Israel from oppression and restored peace.
    “So the land had rest forty years.” Judges 5:31

  5. Samuel
    Reformed worship, judged justly, and stabilized the nation.
    “Samuel judged Israel all the days of his life.” 1 Samuel 7:15

  6. David
    United the tribes, secured borders, and administered justice.
    “David administered justice and equity to all his people.” 2 Samuel 8:15

  7. Solomon
    Brought prosperity, wisdom in governance, and national stability.
    “Judah and Israel lived in safety… every man under his vine and fig tree.” 1 Kings 4:25

  8. Jehoshaphat
    Strengthened defense and taught the law across the nation.
    “The fear of the LORD fell upon all the kingdoms… so that they did not make war.” 2 Chronicles 17:10

  9. Hezekiah
    Restored true worship and secured deliverance from invasion.
    “The LORD saved Hezekiah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem.” 2 Chronicles 32:22

  10. Josiah
    Recovered the Book of the Law and led national repentance.
    “Before him there was no king like him, who turned to the LORD with all his heart.” 2 Kings 23:25

  11. Nehemiah
    Rebuilt the walls, restored civic order, and protected the people.
    “So the wall was finished… and all the nations perceived that this work had been accomplished with the help of our God.” Nehemiah 6:15–16

  12. Esther
    Courageously preserved her people from annihilation.
    “Relief and deliverance will rise for the Jews from another place.” Esther 4:14

Godly character and truth telling matters. Fake news that people suck down as real news does not. Righteous leadership is validated by the public good, not by mere public praise from the media. Wise is as wise does. 

“When the righteous increase, the people rejoice.” Proverbs 29:2

Fitting Christian Reflections

“God’s work done in God’s way will never lack God’s supply.” Hudson Taylor

“The measure of a leader is not words spoken but lives protected.” adapted from Augustine

Discern and evaluate well. Be a fruit inspector. Jesus told us we would know them how? “By their fruits you will know them.” Matthew 7:16

Good promises and opinions spoken out seem hopeful -- they are a dime a dozen by many of our US leaders. Good promises kept are historical.

Interesting. The money of the rich keeps them out of jail. ALL as in ALL ..the names were RELEASED (at the bottom). Yep, the DOJ has released ALL the Epstein Files under the "Epstein Files Transparency Act", has justified redactions and listed high-profile names that appear in the files.

Former Prince Andrew never got prosecuted with all that evidence. (Such a two-tiered justice system).

Interesting to see all those from the Bush family. And 47 was the whistleblower back in the early 2000s.

"No records were withheld or redacted 'on the basis of embarrassment, reputational harm, or political sensitivity, including to any government official, public figure, or foreign dignitary.'"

The while Epstein thing has SO backfired on the left/Democrats. Multiple powerful Democrats have been exposed and Trump has been totally VINDICATED.

How to avoid ICE goin' bad on ya. Be polite, and where you ought to be.

Basic tips: How NOT to get yourself tackled, stuffed and cuffed by Team-Tom-Holman with I.C.E. 

How a smart person will avoid a rap sheet and negative experiences with a chilly I.C.E. encounter. 

Yes, if you follow these simple pointers, you'll probably not get your tail kicked around or beaten down.

“Where jealousy and selfish ambition exist, there will be disorder.” James 3:16

"There’s a pay check in the snail-mail," and a scaled pallet of bricks stacked on the corner,

Checks signed by billionaire Soros and team global-fail.

Every protest, every shout, every flame—

same Lib donors, every time.. same names, same lame game.

Not grassroots! It’s staged! It’s bought, and organized (crime) - it's lots of ROT!”

The checks get paid out, without a doubt when there should be some.

Some Soros' thugs get RICH from the Uni-party, with their planned online anger toward authorities and order -- a booming NICHE!

Meanwhile, the constant chaos runs free, taught but often uncaught."

Think twice; let's be nice with I.C.E.

Do you feel some level of animosity towards anyone in authority? Stop that.
"As righteousness leads to life, so he who pursues evil pursues it to his own death. Those who are of a perverse heart are an abomination to the Lord, but the blameless in their ways are His delight. Though they join forces, the wicked will not go unpunished; but the posterity of the righteous will be delivered." Prov. 11:19-21 


Choose not to take part with Liberals in hurting our ICE agents and nation, like some US governors have, in creating an “ICE Tracking Portal” while "Urging the Public to Film and Report Federal Agents as if they're the enemies. That'd bring the heat.


Hey, admittedly, you're not a boring person right, and God's really not that way, but here's.. How to Keep Your Day Fairly Boring As You Sorta Like (in a good Way). 


Man, Who Doesnt Need A Basic Field Guide On How Not To Ruin Your Afternoon?

There are few spiritual gifts more underrated than a quiet day with no record created, no police report and involvement attached to it.

Many pray for miracles, breakthroughs, and open doors, yet often overlook the simplest blessing of all: just going home safe and healthy.. like the way you left your abode that day.. with no new gov-bracelets, no mace on the face, no fingers bitten off (as some ice officers experienced), and no one reading you your rights for wrongly confronting them.

The right kind of wisdom, as it turns out, is not all that complicated. It's not rocket science It is simply kinda rare to see. Kind.

“The prudent see danger and take refuge.”
Proverbs 22:3

Most trouble here.. other than from natural catastrophes.. is not an ambush, really. It is an appointment, and some are intentionally brought on.. due to hardhearted inner rebellion? 

Since inauguration day the Trump administration has DEPORTED 627,000 illegals.

2.2 million more have self-deported (WE WANT THEM SAFE, NOT SAPPING WITH ALL THEIR RELATIVES). 

That's what the vast majority of Americans voted for ..and now over TWO MILLION ARE GONE BACK HOME. 

I pray for and support ICE when I simply remember how many innocent Americans and others have been raped and killed by illegals in the USA

Teachers are now teaching kids to go out and fight against ICE.

Nurses are literally threatening to poison ICE officials.

Healthcare workers are posting about being anti-Trump too.

Blue city officials proclaim Trump is Fascist and then act like Fascists.

What exactly do you think the election workers have long been doing?


ICE Trouble Can Go Bad On Ya. So Here Are Twelve Common-Sense Tips For Remaining Free, Calm, Unstuffed and Uncuffed:

1. Do Not Go Where Migration Trouble Is Already Happening With Authorities On The Ground. Do You Serve As A Police Officer on Assignment? 

If flashing lights are involved, the show has already started and you are not the headliner.
Keep driving. Go home. Eat something. Pray for everyone involved.

Peacemaking does not require front-row seats.


2. Do Throw Things At ICE Breaking The Law

Obey the good laws of the Land. This strategy has worked for centuries.

Avoid crimes. Avoid chaos. Avoid people who think rules are “just suggestions.”
Most legal problems are eliminated by simply choosing not to create them.


3. When You See Lights, Just Stop

Immediately.
Do not negotiate with your gas pedal.  Teachers, stop it. Don't take students out to fight against cops or ICE. 

Running from them only turns a conversation into a chase scene, and chase scenes never end in hugs.


4. Turn Down The Thug Rap Music

Loud music is not confidence. It is an announcement.
And no authority figure has ever said, “This situation needs more bass.”


5. Hands on the Wheel, Words on Pause

This is not the time for speeches, sarcasm, or childhood backstories.
Silence is not weakness. It is strategy.

“Even a fool who keeps silent is considered wise.”
Proverbs 17:28


6. Be Polite Like It Still Works (Because It Does)

Yes, sir.

No, ma’am.

Thank you.

Simple kind words.. often times getcha powerfully possitive results.

Politeness is social oil so to speak. It keeps gears from grinding.


7. Choose Your Car Passengers Wisely.. Like Your Freedom Depends on It (Because It Actually Does, Especially in Cities like Minneapolis)

If One of your so-called friends, ir someone carries drugs, weapons, warrants, or constant anger inside, they are not a good companion. Carnally minded, worldy, rebellious souls shouldn't really be your close aka best friends. Limit your time with them for your own sake. They are a complication and can quickly become a liability for you.

“Bad company corrupts good morals.”
1 Corinthians 15:33


8. Do Not Lie, Half-Lie And Twist

Lying does not reduce consequences. It multiplies them.

Truth shortens conversations. Lies extend them into courtrooms.


9. Know Your Real Rights, Use Them Calmly

Rights are tools, not weapons.
Ask respectfully. Speak carefully. Stay steady.

Wisdom never needs a megaphone, believer. Primarily, let your life and attitude preach the right message.


10. Do Not Touch, Threaten, Spit on, or Challenge Any In Authority, and Refuse to Obey Delegated Authorities in Sinning for Them.

That is not courage, getting up in their grill. Pray for them but don't get up in face.

That is gravity doing its job.

Humility weighs less. It lands on you softer.


11. Do Not Be Shocked When Authority Shows Up at Your ICE Protest.

God invented order before governments ever existed.

Scripture does not say all authorities are perfect. It says they are permitted.

That distinction matters.


12. Keep Your Goal Simple: Go Home And Pray.. Obey Authorities

The objective is not to win the argument.

The objective is to sleep in your own bed.

Boring fights, train rides, and work days seem like holy days.


Why This Is Actually Biblical (and Not Just Practical)

The Bible is not romantic about rebellion. It is realistic about authority.

God alone is perfect, yet He governs through imperfect people, imperfect systems, and imperfect structures, because order beats chaos every time.

Submission is not always agreement. They perhaps have their non-wrong preferences, and you have your non-wrong ones. You know mere opinions are worth a dime a dozen. 

Wise submission (to authorities short of sinning) is recognition of God’s design for peaceful order and restraint, peace, and preservation of life.

“God is not a God of disorder but of peace.”
1 Corinthians 14:33


What Does God Say Regarding Authorities And How To Relate To Each Of Them? (see surrounding Bible contexts)

  • Romans 13:1–2 – Authority exists because God allows it

  • Hebrews 13:17 – Leaders watch over souls and will give account

  • 1 Peter 2:13–15 – Submission silences foolish accusations

  • Titus 3:1 – Be ready for every good work by being subject

  • Ecclesiastes 8:2–5 – Wisdom keeps one from harm under authority

  • Proverbs 24:21 – Do not associate with rebels

  • Daniel 2:21 – God removes kings and sets up kings

  • John 19:11 – Jesus acknowledged delegated authority, even unjust authority

  • Matthew 22:21 – Render to Caesar what is Caesar’s, to God what is God’s

  • James 3:17 – Wisdom is peaceable, gentle, open to reason

  • Proverbs 4:23 – Guard your heart; it steers your life

  • 1 Samuel 15:23 – Rebellion is serious business in God’s eyes


Ditch doin' your own thang. Do things God's  way, at His leading and it'll go better on you and all those around you. 

Rebellion feels bold, but wisdom lasts much longer.

Look harder and you can see the beauty and increasingly positive influence of ICE?

"As righteousness leads to life, so he who pursues evil pursues it to his own death. Those who are of a perverse heart are an abomination to the Lord, but the blameless in their ways are His delight. Though they join forces, the wicked will not go unpunished; but the posterity of the righteous will be delivered." Prov 11:19-21

ICE agents have acted as decent folk with their delegated authority, when all humans are of  course flawed.

You know that Jesus possesses absolute divine authority, demonstrating sovereignty over nature (calming storms, walking on water), sickness (healing diseases instantly), demons (casting them out with a word), and death (raising the dead and his own resurrection). His power confirms his divinity, as he acts with authority over the physical and spiritual realms. 

God /Jesus is Direct Authority:

-Nature: Jesus commanded the wind and sea to be still (Mk 4:35-41) and walked on water, demonstrating power over physical laws.

-Sickness: He healed various diseases, including a woman with chronic bleeding (Mark 5:25) and numerous others, showing authority over physical suffering.

-Demons: Jesus exercised absolute authority over evil spirits, commanding them to leave possessed individuals (Mk 5:1-20, Mark 1:34).

-Death: He demonstrated ultimate power over death by raising Jairus' daughter (Mark 5) and the son of the widow of Nain (Lk 7:14).

-Divine Sovereignty: All authority in heaven and on earth was given to Jesus (Example servant), confirming his role as Sovereign Lord. 

-Why does God allow sickness? Sickness is a result of the fall, but God uses it for his purposes, allowing suffering to refine faith or for his glory.

-Do believers have this authority? Believers can act in Jesus' name to cast out devils and pray for healing, as stated in Mk 16:17-18.

-Why did Jesus tell demons to be quiet? Jesus often commanded silence to manage his ministry timeline, prevent premature popularity, and avoid validation from evil sources. 

The authority of Jesus serves as the foundation for the Great Commission, empowering Christian believers to carry His gospel to the ends of the earth.

Rebellious chaos might look brave until the bill comes due.

Submission, when rooted in full trust and relationship that Jesus / God is still sovereign, is not weakness. It is spiritual maturity.

You do not have to get arrested today.

You do not have to be angry today.

You do not have to prove anything today.

You just have to be and walk wisely.

And wisdom still keeps people walking free in Jesus.

Don't drive towards others self created trouble or ICE agents bringing order.

Don't break the law. What laws? Car-jacking, armed robbery, arson, armed robbery, selling drugs, prideful rebellion, buying drugs, stabbing, shooting. Don't jump over subway turnstiles, either.

Don't run from the police."Many wouldn't have gotten his tail kicked if they had just followed this simple tip.

When you see flashing lights in your rear view mirror, stop immediately. Everyone knows that if the police have to run to get you, they're bringing an ass-whipping with them."

Turn off loud music in your car. It annoys people.

Be polite and respectful when talking to the police.

Stay in your car with your hands on the wheel.

Don't give rides to friends who carry drugs, firearms, or have arrest warrants.

Don't let that friend be angry and obnoxious.

he core message focuses on extreme compliance, such as keeping hands on the steering wheel, to avoid escalating situations with law enforcement.

Key Points To Remember:
Silence is Golden: I advise against talking back All puffed up or arguing with officers.

Compliance sort of sinning. I emphasize immediate obedience to instructions, such as keeping hands visible.

No Infractions: The most effective method is "not breaking the law" in the first place, or ensuring all vehicle documents are up to date to avoid being pulled over.

Enjoy your interactions with police. They are not your enemy, the vast majority of them.

If you have to give a ride to a friend, make it a growing Christian conservative friend. "A decent friend can be the difference between a ticket and a bullet."

If say..your woman is mad at you, leave her at home. Chris Rock says that, "A mad woman will say anything" to get you in trouble. Any lost carnal prideful arrogant relative can turn you in for doing what's right like helping out Jews. Remember what happened in Germany twice?

Chris Rock doesn't deny or defend prejudiced policing and the potential for rough corrupt police treatment. Most police are not corrupt in the United States.

Have there been bad ICE agents yet? I don't think so. Chris Rock says those legitimately in law enforcement uniforms have the ability to shape events in an encounter anywhere.

All of us hae have the power to be a law-abiding, polite, cooperative citizens. It is the smart way to handle the situation you didn't go looking for.

I feel so grateful for this Administration and ice doing what they're doing to deport all the illegals sapping your tax dollars

To avoid getting in trouble with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), it is important to know all of your rights and understand all of the risks associated with immigration enforcement:

Stay Calm and Don't Run: If approached by law enforcement, do not run, argue, or resist, even if you believe your rights are being violated.

Exercise Your Right to Silence: Especially if you get arrested for doing what is right. You have the right to remain silent and do not have to answer questions about your birthplace or immigration status. You can say, "I wish to remain silent and ask for a lawyer".

Open the Door: If you're not supposed to be here, then get a plane ride out. If ICE agents come to your home, open the door before the kick it in ..sure, cuz they can show a search or arrest warrant signed by a judge. You can ask them to pass it under the door.

Do Not Lie: Do not provide false documents or lie about your status.

Document Everything: If an encounter occurs, take pictures or videos, and record.

Be Mindful of Online Activity: Recent reports indicate that content on your phone or social media, including memes related to political figures, might be subject to scrutiny during border or immigration checks. Important! Now in Europe they collect data from Americans visiting even from their phones. Hook it up to a wire. You don't want to go to jail there.

Like, if you're from out of state, don't go across borders traveling and insert yourself into a situation where Federal ICE Agents are having a confrontation. 

Don't Spit at yell at or attack ICE officers. 

Obey federal, state laws (yes and local laws too. Obey the police and those above them sort of sinning). 

Don't get all up in their grill or you'll get maced. 

Don't draw a weapon of any kind on an ICE agent, or decent police. Are some police paid off or governmentally manipulated in a really bad way ..like they are in Great Britain that's gone full wacko. Europe is wrecked.

Don't be in the USA illegally. 

Don't be in any Land illegally. 

Are they from out of state Are they from Seattle, San Francisco or Minneapolis? Are they currently High? 

Have a WISE Conservative Person with a real job in your car.

Don't receive money to go encounter ICE.

Know your close friends well. Do any of them have a warrant. Do they have drugs? Are they packing? Who did they vote for last time?

Are they a single white liberal with unnaturally colored hair? Have there been a way to any training boot camps? Are they a teacher or a nurse? Who do they follow on social media?

Don't take an angry woman with, you know, probably a Liberal nurse or teacher with colored hair and crazy eyes. Many of them do really stupid things to authorities.

Shut your mouth, Bro.

If you do any of these things -- you just ignant. Yup ignert.

Be polite toward all people, even those with a different political persuasion. We can still be friends and open.

"Obey your leaders and submit to them, for they are keeping watch over your souls, as those who will have to give an account. Let them do this with joy and not with groaning, for that would be of no advantage to you." Hebrews 13:17 esv
“Guard your heart above all else, for it is the source of life.” ‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭4‬:‭23‬

Keep on gaining this.. a taste for what's really so. They say this is an acquired taste, and I'm thinking one can indeed pray it in.. if they didn't acquire this at birth. If you haven't yet acquired, then today is a good day to strongly acquire a taste for #truth. Important. Appricaite the bad new and then go with the Good News of Jesus (the One in the Bible cuz there are several, it would seem). Fake News is so divisive and vastly overrated--ditch, and reject! KnowGod.org

"Be responsive to your pastoral leaders. Listen to their counsel. They are alert to the condition of your lives and work under the strict supervision of God. Contribute to the joy of their leadership, not its drudgery. Why would you want to make things harder for them?" Hebrews 13:17 msg

It's a choice we get to make. Respect or hatred of the police. You don't have to let your kids be led out by teachers to confront Federal Agents. You don't have to get arrested by an ICE officer today. 

Me.. I'm just not gonna get shot by ICE, and you know why? My parents taught me better than that. Yes, they raised me taught me well.. much better than that. Show respect to the authorities. 

Please stay safe, don't bum rush the police or ICE. Don't take a big payment to go hurt or kill ICE. 

Simply, don't insert yourself into an active law enforcement situation; you don't run in and punch cops or throw bricks and create disturbance and chaos.

Man, folly is SO overrated, Liberal folly with Rino TDS folly all of it is sin. 

A little common sense goes a long way. These days, it'll keep you alive. Today and tomorrow too, and maybe for the rest of your life. Something to think about, like others, don't go bite their fingers off. Why get shot by em?

Today, young people tell us that to offer advice about any matter.. is to arrogantly criticize, to guilt em, to judge people, but aren't we all to be evaluating for decision-making-sake? Aren't I my brother's keeper unlike Cain lived. 

Do I want to warn people so they can stay alive and thrive? Yes. Do I have any standing?
I am a moderately boomer dude they say. Yeah a male, born into the heart of the So Cal Boomer generation. They say that's a negative about me. 

I grew up in a fairly stable, middle-class nuclear family with great parents ..after they got sober. I am healthy and happy. Yes, I am a blessed.. and okay a fairly privileged person to be living in America where many parts are nice like I'll turn a blind eye to wrongs. Nope, won't!

It's okay to carefully evaluate with the right kind of wisdom from God, for the purpose of making accurate assessments, observations and good life-decisions.. to even give political advice to Democrats and Rinos who are open to hear it (yes, both sides have corruption). 

It's not because I (a learner) am one who feels like a know it all and am entitled. I want Democrats to be better at politics and good messaging cuz they are like the vacume cleaner guild of America--they suck. just like many with the GOP. I give advice to open Republicans, too, which many of them ignore. 

They don't think I am one of them. I'm not. I've chosen to be a Christian Conservative before an American, before all  politics.. yes in that order. I want to vote biblically, not PC. 

I am warned NEVER to give advice out to Black people, to women, to gays, to Hispanics, to young people, to poor and rich people, or to anyone unlike myself. 

People on the left tell me I cannot possibly understand them, and they do not want to hear from me. Do they fully understand, or seek to? 

There is no safe harbor of words or tone that won't come across as condescending from a white dude these days. They tell us to stop being white and stop benefiting from how we were born. 

The messenger shapes the message right? My close-up observation of political messaging reaffirms that point. Marco Rubio can say things about the Cuban immigrant experience that Joe Biden or Presiden Trump could not. Whatever RINOs and Dems (the Uniparty) say is now understood as coming from an intellectual elite.

 Q: So why are Democrats and Rinos against the US Constitution?

The Immigration and Nationality Act was passed into federal law in 1952.

The Supreme Court has had 73 years to overturn the law, but they haven't.

ICE raids are clearly legal. FULL STOP!

Use your IQ with godly wisdom—both are gifts to daily employ. 

Godly wisdom is about direction under the Lordship of Christ. Does He live Large on the inside of you? He could if you repent and invite Jesus in. Humbly ask Him to forgive you by faith. He will, not matter where you are from

You know that Knowledge is about information, real facts.

What's a clean biblical way to see all this and how does that even relate?:

IQ = mental horsepower
• Speed, logic, pattern-recognition
• Morally neutral
• Can be used for good or evil (Gen. 11; Acts 8)

Knowledge = accumulated facts
• “Knowing what” (1 Cor. 8:1)
• Can puff up without shaping the heart
• Necessary, but incomplete

Wisdom = not the worldly type, but the godly type is about right biblical application of facts toward the right end
• “Knowing what to do, when, why, and how”
• Always directional—toward something

Now the key distinction in Scripture insists on us using godly wisdom instead of. So what is...

Worldly wisdom about? It's...

• Pragmatic, self-advancing, image-driven
• Often clever, efficient, impressive
• Ends justify the means
James 3:15 — “earthly, unspiritual, demonic”
• Can build empires and still rot the soul



Godly wisdom is better. It..

• Begins with the reverent holy fear of the Lord. Awe and respect for Authority, and delegated authorities. 
• Morally anchored, relationally aware
• Seeks truth in relationship with Christ, and peace, purity, and love
Proverbs 9:10“The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom”
James 3:17 — it's pure, peaceable, gentle, reasonable, full of mercy

Biblical pattern for us?:
High IQ + high knowledge + godly wisdom with biblical application = NOT dangerous, but fruitful.
Average ability and talents + holy fear of God, relying upon His power + obedience to the Lord = powerful and fruitfully effective in this life here.

God didn’t praise brilliance—He praised faithful obedience that becomes fruitful in Christ.
Paul didn’t boast in intellect—he boasted in the cross.

IQ helps you think well

Knowledge helps you know well

Godly wisdom helps you live well, bibllically -- yes, righteously before God and people

Biblically speaking, Christlike compassion is far better than that popular toxic suicidal empathy we've been observing in the Western nations. 

ICE Trouble Can Go Bad On Ya Quickly If You're Foolish... yes, unless you're respectful to to the authorities. 

Need Some  Common-Sense For Remaining Free, Calm, Unstuffed and Uncuffed:

Toxic Empathy is what the Progressives keep on exploiting here in the USA, but Christian Compassion remains far better. 

Empathy has basically been hijacked here by progressive ideologies to mean the unquestioning affirmation of those awwww feelings, which I contend cause great damage to individuals and this society in the long run. 

This form of empathy prioritizes one's emotions over objective truth and greater needs. 

Listen, truth is more important than unity at all costs and what we feel like inside. 

"Toxic empathy" focuses on feelings, on what another person (even an illegal) feels ahead of all else, whereas true, Christlike compassion involves loving someone enough to tell them the truth, even if it is uncomfortable for a time, and adhering to biblical, moral boundaries which are more important. 

"That toxic type of empathy" really leads a society into destructive, "suicidal" outcomes in areas such as immigration, judges, gender issues etc. 

Instead of adopting worldly cultural definitions of love, Christians should follow Christ as Lord according to the Bible. It's a relationship thing. Know Him well, and Follow Him well as your Chief Example with His agape compassion. Walk according to His Word. 

His path is superior but it calls for true repentance and faith. Empathy becomes so toxic when it encourages people to affirm what the Bible calls sin, when it validates lies, or supports destructive policies that destroy a nation. Toxic Empathy is vastly inferior to real love. Progressives have been exploiting Christian Compassion for decades. Empathy becomes so toxic when it encourages people to affirm what the Bible calls sin, when it validates lies, or supports destructive policies that destroy a nation. Toxic Empathy is vastly inferior to real love. Progressives have been exploiting Christian Compassion for decades.  

Of course I love learning facts—but more than that, I long to know what to do with them rightly. Facts without wisdom can wound; truth without love can harden. What I seek is God’s kind of wisdom—the wisdom that begins with the fear of the Lord and ends in righteousness, peace, and faithfulness.

Scripture repeatedly warns us: “Do not harden your hearts”—and one of the quietest ways hearts are hardened today is through spiritual compromise disguised as compassion. Across the political spectrum—whether among liberal globalists or GOP RINOs—there is a shared resistance to biblical clarity when it becomes costly. Policies are promoted that fund and enable mass disorder, often at the expense of truth, stewardship, and the well-being of a nation, all while appealing to emotion and moral intimidation.

Biblically speaking, Christlike compassion is not the same as what now passes for empathy in the West. What we are increasingly witnessing is a distorted, toxic empathy—an empathy detached from truth, moral boundaries, and long-term consequence. This form of empathy has been skillfully exploited by progressive ideologies and redefined to mean the unquestioning affirmation of feelings, desires, and narratives, regardless of whether they align with reality or God’s revealed will.

Toxic empathy elevates subjective emotion above objective truth. It demands unity at all costs—even at the cost of holiness, wisdom, and justice. It insists that love means never saying “no,” never warning, never correcting. But Scripture teaches the opposite: “Faithful are the wounds of a friend.” Real love tells the truth, even when it hurts for a season.

By contrast, Christian compassion is anchored in truth and governed by love. Jesus was moved with compassion, yet He consistently called people to repentance. He fed the hungry—but He also said, “Go and sin no more.” His compassion healed, restored, and transformed; it did not affirm lies or enable destruction. Agape love does not celebrate what God calls sin, nor does it support policies or ideologies that unravel families, erase moral distinctions, or hollow out nations.

Toxic empathy, when applied in areas such as immigration, or gender confusion, and social policy -- it leads to outcomes that are self-destructive.

Many Progressives mean well, but mere good intentions cannot redeem really bad ideas. “If the blind lead the blind, both will fall into the ditch.” Our response must be firm in unchanging truth, gentle in spirit, and steadfast in prayer for all on both sides of the issues—lest we also harden our hearts while trying to defend people. 

"'Maga is waging war on empathy' and transforming 'savagery' into moral value." ~Hillary Clinton

Empathy becomes so toxic when it encourages people to affirm what the Bible calls sin, when it validates lies, or supports destructive policies that destroy a nation. Toxic Empathy is vastly inferior to real love. Progressives have been exploiting Christian Compassion for decades.

Was Jesus a real refugee? He was the first missionary leaving home for you and me.. for God Father's soul-winning purpose. 

How does Jesus fulfill the prophecy that says, “Out of Egypt I called my son” (Matthew 2:15)?

"Now when they had gone, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream and said, 'Get up! Take the Child and His mother and flee to Egypt, and remain there until I tell you; for Herod intends to search for the Child in order to destroy Him.' So Joseph got up and took the Child and His mother while it was still night, and left for Egypt. He remained there until the death of Herod. This was to fulfill what the Lord had spoken by the prophet [Hosea]: 'Out of Egypt I called My Son.'" Matthew 2:13-15 amp

We Christians are of course, to wisely show compassion and to evangelize those who are temporarily here among us as well to others. Why do I say wisely? Because some are very dangerous for your family members and friends. We've seen this thousands of times in the West. 

.Jesus’ parents (Mary and Joseph, though he was Jesus' stepdad) were forced to flee Bethlehem for Egypt to escape King Herod's persecution.

Were they similar to all these military-aged men breaking the law and sapping off the tax-paying citizens like many of these modern refugees?

No, this was not immigration because they weren't breaking the law -- both locations were within the Roman Empire. They did leave their home region to seek safety, fitting the definition of migrants. Immigrants today are not facing the government officials killing their male babies. They're coming to the Western countries for personal gain, for sexual hookups (rapes), and to sap off the taxpayers and to dominate those nations with Islam.

Trials and testings are normal parts of the Christian's life, Believer. So, don't Freak out.

Believer, it kind of reminds me of when I was a novice surfer, way out with a big swell at Salt Creek. 

A real Christian is more than likely either entering a trial, right in the middle of a trial, or just exiting a trial, preparing for another one. God allowing a test is so I can learn ..if I pass the test or not. 

What's the Purpose of Trials?

  1. Trials are real: The Apostle Peter teaches that God uses these things through tough seasons to grow believers spiritually, "knocking off the rough edges," and developing character. God wants His kids to reach maturity. 
  2. Trials are real: I have described times of trials with testing as "God's gym"—a place where we believers are broken down a bit in order to be built up. God wants you and me walking stronger in victory with Jesus as Lord. 
  3. Trials are real: Through them, the Holy Spirit encourages us to persevere, going the distance (all the way Home, and to bring others with us). He often advises against wasting suffering, encouraging believers to look to Jesus for God's grace and "mercy" even in the midst of pain. 

"Beloved, do not be surprised at the fiery ordeal which is taking place to test you [that is, to test the quality of your faith], as though something strange or unusual were happening to you. 13 But insofar as you are sharing Christ’s sufferings, keep on rejoicing, so that when His glory [filled with His radiance and splendor] is revealed, you may rejoice with great joy. 14 If you are insulted and reviled for [bearing] the name of Christ, you are blessed [happy, with life-joy and comfort in God’s salvation regardless of your circumstances], because the Spirit of glory and of God is resting on you [and indwelling you—He whom they curse, you glorify]. 15 Make sure that none of you suffers as a murderer, or a thief, or any sort of criminal [in response to persecution], or as a troublesome meddler interfering in the affairs of others; 16 but if anyone suffers [ill-treatment] as a Christian [because of his belief], he is not to be ashamed, but is to glorify God [because he is considered worthy to suffer] in this name. 17 For it is the time [destined] for judgment to begin with the household of God; and if it begins with us, what will the outcome be for those who do not respect or believe or obey the gospel of God? 18 And if it is difficult for the righteous to be saved, what will become of the godless and the sinner19 Therefore, those who are ill-treated and suffer in accordance with the will of God must [continue to] do right and commit their souls [for safe-keeping] to the faithful Creator." 1 Peter 4:12-19 amp

* Do be controlled by the Spirit in the now - don't be all hampered by the past (1 Pet. 4:1–6). People who have been spiritually born again via true repentance and saving faith in Christ (1:23) should not allow their old life in the flesh and corrupt world system to control them. Cuz of the Cross, the past has been buried, and they are new creatures in Christ. Furthermore, life is too short to waste on godless living, especially when you realize that one day we will all stand before the Judgement-Bar of God.

* Don't be all focused on your past - do be serious about your walk in the present (1 Pet. 4:7–11). No matter how difficult life may be, there is a job to do; and we must be faithful. Take time to pray. Show love to the saints. Use your gifts and talents to serve others. The Lord who gave you the ability will also give you the strength to use it for His glory.

* Do get ready for who and what is coming - lbe prepared for the future (1 Pet. 4:12–19). A “fiery trial” was about to come to the church. Peter told his readers to expect it, use it as an opportunity to witness for Christ, and in all things seek to glorify God. The trial came under the Roman emperor Nero who accused the Christians of burning Rome. The church today faces persecution. Are you prepared?

Sup with pain and suffering persecution then?

The Apostle Peter said that judgment begins at the house (church) of God (1 Pet. 4:17). The first purpose of persecution is to purify the Church so that it (meaning us Christians) will pray and be able to effectively witness to lost people. How else do we discover if they are open to the truth or closed? But persecution is also a warning to the lost. If it starts with us and God judges His own children for their sins, how much more will He judge non-repentant lost sinners! (See Ezek. 9).

“We must endure many hardships to enter the kingdom of God..” Acts  14:22b

"..through many tribulations it behooves us to enter into the kingdom of God." BLB

We have trials that work for us as we submit and follow Jesus (see Romans 8:28-29). Those who refuse to believe outside in the world experience troubles that work against them. 

Believer, with pain you can come closer to God, or you can opt to go farther away from him and His church. You can progress or digress spiritually. 

"If the righteous will be recompensed on the earth, how much more the ungodly and the sinner." Proverbs 11:31. (Pains or no trials today, come to Christ.. or come back to Christ).

God in the Bible has a lot to say about trials.

What trials did Jesus face before His crucifixion?

Why does God allow us to go through trials and tribulations?

Need some Bible verses about trials?

What does it mean to count it all joy (James 1:2)?

What does it mean that God cannot be tempted (James 1:13)?

What is the crown of life and who will receive this (James 1:12)?

What did Jesus mean when He said, “I have overcome the world,”?

What does it mean to be tested by fire (1 Peter 1:7)?

How can we let patience have its perfect work in me?

Does God promise to not give us more than we can handle?

How does the “testing of your faith” produce perseverance?

Again, so why does God test us?

How can I, as a branch, so to speak, find joy in the midst of trials? Abide in the Vine?
