JESUS FACTOR: Bench Warmers Don’t Defend “Unalienable Rights

When they stated, “Didn’t we do” (whatever), Jesus responded “Begone! I knew you not.” Why? Because He also stated, “When you did it not for the least of these, you did it not for me.” And when considering the global dark blanket of fear and despair triggering individual hoarding greed (and more), these statements warrant serious introspection leading to the question: How can one say “I love the CREATOR and NOT HIS/HER CREATIONS (environment and one’s neighbor), both at home and abroad? While mounting widows and orphans being left homeless and hungry, while the next generation is being ill equipped to deal with the present mess being left for future address, what happened to what Jesus said, “Let the children come to me?” Church Bench Warmers Need Rise To Defend “Unalienable Rights”  

Not that long ago, even with the separation of church and state hovering to be a constantly misapplied distortion; the educational system made a serious effort to maintain a curriculum focused on trying to foster civil (law abiding) and civic (community oriented) next generation patriots. In fact, originally written in 1892 by a Baptist minister (Francis Bellamy), published in The Youth’s Companion (a children’s magazine encouraging virtue and piety), revised to include "the Flag of the United States of America" (1923) and "under God" (1954 by President Eisenhower) students daily recited “I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all” until the Supreme Court effectively removed it from public schools in 1962.

Point! This is a Godly Nation intended to promote and model “We The People of …” professing A Constitution, A Declaration, and A Bill of “Unalienable” Rights sovereign to all simply because they/we exist. And yes! Since as early as the “Magna Carta/The Great Charter" of 1215 (establishing more than just the principle that no one, not even the king, is above the law), it all continues to be a matter recklessly put in representing legal and political hands to interpret and dole out a mess of ever-changing guidelines for the masses to follow. But remember the warning when the nation of Isreal insisted on trading divine guidance for a king (1 Samual 8:10-18)? And while noting how we temporarily still see “In God We Trust” inscribed on dollar bills and courtroom walls, do remember the Jesus warnings: “Beware false Prophets” and “Wolves in Sheep Clothing.” Bench Warmers Don’t Fight For “Unalienable Rights”

Remember He said Follow Me! The way to truth and life! Promising to send the assistance of a spiritual comforting counselor he said, “What you’ve seen me do – you can too.” So, let’s stop the bench warming and start really caring and loving each other forgetting not the growing hungry, homeless widows and orphans or the presently suffering sick and persecuted. With nothing else seeming to work, and without getting so hung up on the separation of church and state (a historical misnomer that has been used to undermine the very religious freedom our Founders sought to protect), why not actively put God back into our socio-economic and political practices. Just sit back and watch this Red Skelton video clip and consider; while waiting for future deliverance, what should “WE” be presently doing?

The Hurting Heart of Humanity -April issue

Image
  The hurting heart of humanity Humanities heart is in a state of global crisis! Growing natural disasters have compounded the widespread social conflict and injustice driving class and racial inequalities to unbearable levels. Crime, violence, mental illness and corruption have become little more than a normal cost of doing daily business. Existence has become an arena where depleting resources and dwindling economic opportunities are dangerously justifying the resulting consequences. of Growing unemployment, poverty and homelessness have reached unprecedented levels. Thus, mounting forms of addiction are just efforts to ease the strain of having to live in constant competition with each other at the cost of losing one’s innate natural desire, need and ability to love, trust and share. Meanwhile, the looming dark clouds full of thundering hate and lightning-fast hoarding are crippling the social threads of compassion under the weight of growing fear and despair. In truth, lookin...

Voices in the wilderness - May Issue

Image
  Voices in the Wilderness Fellow artists, blessed and gifted with talents and opportunities to be yet another historic voice in the wilderness crying out for justice to be made manifest; may our weapons of choice be sharpened to be heeded and heart felt. May our work’s, howsoever small but still flickering, become beacons of light against the seemingly growing social darkness gripping so many with feelings of helpless, hopeless despair. May our performing platforms serve as battering rams able to shatter the illusions blinding so many from the truth: We Are One! We are stewards, co-heirs destined to harvest and share what this world, this planet, this society still has the potential to offer and make manifest. For promised better days to come we need just accept that we are the voices, the hands and feet of a cosmic force made manifest thru us, for us, just because – because we’re built for more than present minds and hearts have come to accept. We’ve been granted eyes, ears a...

What Did You Do - June issue

Image
  What did you Do Whether one believes and accepts it or not; we have been gifted, more so blessed with imbedded talents and skills to achieve and fulfill what many call some preordained destiny. Thus, we each have both the right, and the obligation, to coexist while pursuing that which would provide individual meaning and purpose. The very bible not only instructs us to “Be Fruitful and Multiply” but was referenced when this country’s founding fathers, asserting as self-evident, that all men are created equal, went on to coin the term “Inalienable Rights” to mean God given birthrights assuring “Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness” for all of earth’s inhabitants: Regardless of what legal guides man may seek to instill thereafter. So important “WAS” the thought that they went on to say, “Whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends (as currently being witnessed), it is the Right of the People to alter or abolish” what powers be and “institute a new gov...

Jan Article / 2021 - New Year, New Deal ?

Image
  Buffalo Latino Village Jan 2021article New Year, New Deal ?   Happy New Year! Its done! The ballots have been tallied, verified and announced. On January 20 th Biden enters as the new landlord and Trump exits as the delinquent tenant. But things seem far from over. Trump is not thinking of willfully vacating. So forget the drama and simply unleash the marshals with a court ordered eviction for negligence.  Like any of us, shouldn’t he be subject to arrest for trespassing. More so, shouldn’t his refusal to relinquish power be considered an act of mutiny : A crime punishable by death? But let’s wake up and face it; dominating the national discourse like no one before “Trump has been allowed to reshape the global office and shattered its century-old norms and traditions”. Fearing what’s supposedly waiting, he even seeks pardoning himself from any pending prosecutions. Funny how they call it an “ assault on the institutions of democracy ” without mention of “the...

The Jesus Factor :: Humanities Map, Legend, And Compass

Image
  The Jesus Factor  Humanities Map, Legend, And Compass  We’ve all heard of the light ! That enlightening knowledge and understanding of how God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit will converge to give humanity a second shot at a life full of harmonious coexistence free of growing pain and suffering. But the uncertainties of daily life have given rise to a fear of lacking tomorrows wants in ways that justify an unprecedented need for hording greed. Under such external pressures, it’s time to question: How much of that light (e.g. peace, love, and joy) is actually still in you?   Darkness is quickly spreading a blanket of worldwide despair ; humanities intended fruits (e.g. kindness, goodness, gentleness, forbearance and self-control) are becoming but mere shadows as we walk along the corridors between “Once Upon a Time” and “It Is what It Is.” Thus question: How deep is the darkness within you?   Seemingly overwhelmed, we fail to grasp the simplicity of common sense. ...
