In this video blog, I explain why I am a libertarian and why the libertarian foundation aligns with my Christian faith. I want to make it clear that the libertarian party doesn't endorse or cater to one religion. But just as the Constition is for all religions and aligns with the Christian faith, so does the libertarian platform.

Not My Country, Not My Government
Greetings in the name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. How is everyone doing? I pray that this blog finds everyone in good health and spirits.
Things are going good in the Jones household. We are doing better financially but still have a lot of work to get to where we once were. It is amazing how far behind you can get in just a few years. It is just another reason why I must remain with CRST until I retire. But once we get caught up we can't stop. One reason we got into the mess we did is because I have been a poor steward of the money God has given us. I must start saving money once we get the bills paid.
There is something that is bothering me a lot. I hate the direction this country is going. And I am not talking about the fact that we are now an Oligarchy and no longer a Republic. If the people want an Oligarchy and put their faith in a human government, OK. What bothers me is how this country has become so hateful and selfish. How can I love something so hateful? Doing so would go against God. How can I pledge allegiance to any country that hates? How can I fly a flag represents a country that hates God and God's greatest creation? I can't.
In recent years, my eyes have been opened to just how hateful this country is. People are being forced to go against their beliefs and pay for abortion causing pills, Christian companies are taken to court because they refuse to run their business contrary to their belief, and government keeps tying the hands of non-profit organizations that try to help others. Some will say that we just need to change government, it is the government doing this. Well, here is the problem, who elects those in power? The people in power didn't just get there by magic. They were elected by the people. It is the people who want this. And here is what really woke me up. In recent weeks we have seen several videos that showed Planned Parenthood aborting babies and selling human organs and body parts. They even went as far as doing partial birth abortions and turning the baby around to protect the organs they needed. In the videos they even mention human organs, not tissue masses. No doubt that what they were killing and selling wasn't human. What was the reaction from the American people? Maybe a whisper. And it isn't just that the media that isn't reporting it. Take a look at the number of signatures on petitions to defund Planned Parenthood, what is trending on social media, and I bet you that the politicians that support funding Planned Parenthood will still get lots of votes. The American people support ending human life. Now lets take a look at a lions life. Cecil the lion was killed by a trophy hunter. Now, I am against trophy hunting. Not because I care about animals, but because I believe we should be good stewards over what God gives us. If you are not killing an animal for food, clothes, or defending humans or property, you shouldn't kill the animal. But when I see the Americans reaction to the killing of a lion, I am amazed. Not just on the news, but on Social Media and petitions. The number of people outraged over the killing of a lion far outnumber the people outraged over the killing and selling of human life. There are people who even say that humans who trophy hunt should be hunted and killed or injured. They love animals more than humans. The American people have spoken loud and clear. I can't support in any way shape or form hatred towards God's greatest creation. I can't support people, organizations, or countries that go against God. I can't support America. This isn't my country. I am a man without a country on this earth and will be until the return of my Lord.
Take care and God Bless,

ALS, Love, War, and Helping Others
I know a lot of people who refuse to do the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge or donate any money for research because they are against Embryonic Stem Cell Research. I totally understand because I am also against Embryonic Stem Cell Research. I have just uploaded a video blog to let Christians know that there are medical research institutes that do not use embryonic stem cells and how they can help find a cure for ALS and promote research without the use of embryonic stem cells. I also talk about Iraq and helping out people in other countries.

Sometimes You Have To Fight
Should Christians fight? Should Christians support war? I answer these questions as I leave the ALCO Store in Hemphill, TX in this Video Blog.

Should Christians Judge?
"Do not judge, or you too will be judged." Matthew 7:1
"The righteous choose their friends carefully, but the way of the wicked leads them astray." Proverbs 12:26
Greetings in the name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. How are y'all doing? I pray that this blog finds y'all in good health and spirits. Things are going pretty good here. I am writing this blog from Moriarty, NM. I will be picking up freight here and then deliver in Abilene, KS.
I hear a lot about judging among Christians. Some say that Christians are to judge and some say that we should never judge. So, who is correct? Well, both are correct. For every verse that shows that we should judge, you can find a verse that says we are not to judge. I gave two verses that reflects this above and there are many many more.
The verses that say we should not judge is quite clear. This does cause many to think that God doesn't want us to judge and that is the end of the story. But God does warn us of people who do wrong. If you are to be careful when choosing your friend then you have to judge before you decide to be friends with someone. In the Bible it also says, “As iron sharpens iron, so a man sharpens the countenance of his friend.” This means that we have to judge our friends. “Do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers. For what fellowship has righteousness with lawlessness? And what communion has light with darkness? And what accord has Christ with Belial? Or what part has a believer with an unbeliever? And what agreement has the temple of God with idols? For you are the temple of the living God.” You mean I have to judge someone before I decide to marry them? “Beware of dogs, beware of evil workers …” Again, have to judge in order to beware of evil workers.
So, how can you judge someone without judging them? It is in what you are judging. Many people fail to realize that we can judge a persons actions without judging the person. Just cause someone does something wrong doesn't make the person a bad person and that is how we should look at everyone. It is very important to judge actions. First of all, we can't know what is good and bad action without judging the actions. How do you know stealing is bad unless you judge it. Another reason to judge action is to help the innocent. If you walk down the street and see someone steeling a woman's purse, you can't help the woman unless you judge that the thief did something wrong and the woman is a victim. Another reason judging action is important is to help the person doing wrong. That is correct, we must judge bad actions in order to help the person doing wrong. I always say that if a person sees me sinning and doesn't say something to me, that person hates me. Sin doesn't just hurt others, it hurts the sinner. This is why God hates sin and why Christians should hate sin too. It doesn't only kill the soul, but it drags the sinner down both morally and spiritually too. It brings down self esteame and self respect. It also makes the sinners life a tough one. So, when you see a friend (either christian or non-christian) sinning, you should see if there is something you can do to help them change their life. Another reason you should judge action is to avoid people while they are sinning. If you hanging out with some friends and you see them break out some drugs, you must judge that what they are going to do is wrong and excuse yourself. This doesn't mean that you avoid them from now on. It means that while they are committing the sin, you stay away from them. Sin currupts good people. It is very enticing to sin. We all want to fit in and look cool. It is human nature and your flesh will cave when you are surrounded by sinners. But, in order to do this ... you must judge the actions.
Now, we are never to judge the person. What this means is that when you see a person sinning, you should never look at the person as a bad or evil person. Remember, you also sin. When you sin, does that mean you are a bad or evil person? No, it means you are human and your flesh is weak. What we are to do is love the sinner and pray for them. Just like you want others to do for you when you sin. Now, by loving them doesn't mean to condone or excuse the sin. Remember, sin destroys people and this is why you hate sin. You can not love people and sin. But, at the same time you don't hound them about the sin they have done. Of course, if the sin being commited is serious and harms others then you have to stop it (rape, abuse, steeling, ect). And that does bring up another thing. It is funny when people say "You should not judge." Do you know that everyone judges actions. How about the men who flew the planes into the World Trade Center? Did you judge that action as being terrible and bad? I hope so. But, how about the men that did it? Do you judge them? You shouldn't. How about people who abuse children? Abuse women? Abuse animals? and the list goes on and on. All sinful actions and we should judge the actions. But are the people who do them bad people? We don't know what is inside the minds of these people and therefor we can't be a rightous judge when it comes to judging people. Therefor, we should leave the judging of people to God. But God did give us the ability to judge right actions from wrong actions.
Well, I must get to bed. I pray that this blog has been helpful to you. Take care and God Bless.
