Too many so called leaders act like fools…it is a disease that is in both the Republican and Democrat party, many say such stupid things, no logic, just emotion junk…….they let their mouth go before seeking God. Many need Jesus! Proverbs 18:2A fool takes no pleasure in understanding, but only in expressing his opinion. Proverbs 29:11A fool gives full vent to his spirit, but a wise man quietly holds it back. Proverbs 1:7The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge; fools despise wisdom and instruction. Proverbs 18:6A fool’s lips walk into a fight, and his mouth invites a beating. Proverbs 29:9If a wise man has an argument with a fool, the fool only rages and laughs, and there is no quiet.
Q: The political environment is about as bad as I’ve ever seen. Regardless of party, people promise good things if they are elected; yet hostility rages and grows more and more. How happy can political leaders really be when they stay in a perpetual state of turmoil? — P.E. A: Once again, the Bible answers every dilemma known to man. King Solomon in all of his glory was convinced he knew how to find happiness, and because he had vast resources at his command, he pursued happiness most of his life. Wealth, fame, pleasure, power, lavish houses, and a reputation for wisdom — King Solomon achieved it. And yet after gaining everything he had ever wanted, he reluctantly concluded that his life was still empty and without meaning. His search for lasting happiness had failed, and his soul was still empty. Many people live the same pattern throughout life and are in danger of making the same mistake King Solomon made, convinced that the things of this world will bring happiness and peace. He wrote: “Whatever my eyes desired I did not keep from them. I did not withhold my heart from any pleasure…. Then I looked… and indeed all was vanity and grasping for the wind” (Ecclesiastes 2:10-11). We must not be deceived; these things will never bring contentment. And the reason is because we were made to know God. Later, King Solomon came to this realization. He should have known it sooner; after all, his father, David, was a man after God’s own heart, and Solomon himself had vowed to live according to God’s wisdom. The world makes a lot of empty promises concerning happiness; what it looks like and how to attain it. But God is truth and He tells us in His Word that true joy comes to those who delight and meditate on the things of God. ======= (This column is based on the words and writings of the late Rev.

Rally and Press Conference Because Women’s Marches Should Empower and Celebrate All Women, Not Tear Them Down
WASHINGTON, D.C. — On Saturday, October 17, 2020, Independent Women’s Forum (IWF) and Independent Women’s Voice (IWV) will hold a March for All Women “I’m With Her” Rally and press conference to celebrate women’s progress and the right of ALL women to be heard, as well as to support the confirmation of Judge Amy Coney Barrett to the U.S. Supreme Court.
Women’s movements should empower and celebrate all women. The Women’s March, which returns to D.C. on the same day to protest the Supreme Court nomination, doesn’t represent women. Just the fraction of women who support a radical progressive agenda.
Carrie Lukas, president of IWF, said, “The Women’s March isn’t about women so much as more red tape, more restrictions on people’s freedoms, higher taxes, less opportunity, government controlled health care, less education choice, and silencing dissent. That’s not the agenda of most American women.”
Tammy Bruce, president of IWV, said, “So-called feminists should be celebrating the nomination of Amy Coney Barrett, who exemplifies all that women can accomplish. Yet the so-called women’s movement is standing by while the mainstream media questions if Barrett can be a Supreme Court Justice and a good mother, in addition to vilifying her for her background and her faith. We should be able to all stand up and say that this accomplished, impressive woman deserves to be treated with respect.”
WHAT: “I’m With Her” Press Conference WHEN: Saturday, October 17, 2020 at 1:00pm EDT WHERE: United States Supreme Court (1 First St NE, Washington, DC 20543) WHY: To empower and celebrate ALL women and to confirm Judge Amy Coney Barrett
MEDIA RSVP TO PRESS@IWF.ORG
#### March for ALL Women champions ALL women, celebrates ALL voices—in all of our individual variety, and stands for diversity of thought and political ideology—and the freedom to think, feel, live, and vote any way we want. Independent Women’s Forum and Independent Women’s Voice are dedicated to developing and advancing policies that aren’t just well intended, but actually enhance people’s freedom, choices, and opportunities. More than 6,000 scientists have signed an anti-lockdown petition saying that coronavirus policies are causing “irreparable damage.” In my mind the lockdowns are destroying America in so many ways, mental health, our way of life here in America, FREEDOM, the economy, jobs lost, businesses closed forever, education for our children, dreams destroyed…..the list goes on and on……the one that gets me the most is when people cannot be with their loved ones in the hospital, nursing homes or assisted living centers…and when they cannot gather as the loved one passes away. Horrible! I just went through this with a friend. First time as a Pastor I could not go into the hospital, not even into the lobby. I know of two cases where folks laid in the ER for over 24 hours until they got the help they needed! Over 6,000 Scientists Sign ‘Anti-Lockdown’ Petition Saying It’s Causing ‘Irreparable Damage’ We have a friend that had COVID and after several weeks is still have health problems. We are praying everyday that this pandemic ends. We love you all in JESUS! There is a lot of what we do not know about COVID, from my research it was developed by China for biological warfare, it got away from them….
