I took the picture at the very top one Sunday when I was traveling to FBC in Reserve to preach. It was taken between Belen and Socorro. It hurts me to write this post……

It is so very hard to watch a state crumble….New Mexico is being destroyed brick by brick. It saddens me so very much to write this….it is like writing an obituary. I am still shaking my head over the home delivery of booze! Now we have another drunk driving death that killed a mother. Another Drunk Driving Death in New Mexico You and I could be next! Last week we had a Priest killed by an apparent drag racer. Priest remembered as compassionate, humble man So many are so blinded by Satan they are on a death wish. Satan is having his way with many in New Mexico and this blindness to God is killing innocent people. Why does New Mexico continue to elect anti-life politicians? Hard for me to think that this is what the people of this beautiful state want! Its getting late New Mexico! It is tough for me to report that Satan is having his way with many all over America. The wave of evil is stronger than ever in the Country I love. I will continue to stand strong for God and His people, always preaching the truth, reporting the good and bad news. Pastors need to hold people accountable. Speak up for GOD ALMIGHTY! Speak up for HIS children!

When I was a volunteer firefighter, there were times we lost a house to fire and just had to watch it burn…..it kinda reminds me of what is happening to New Mexico and all of America…we are watching our country burn down…….Marijuana poisoning on the rise in New Mexico many have failed to stand strong for God and America. Remember it is not your words that change things, it is your actions. What are you doing?

All of Governor Lujan Grisham’s scandals are distracting her from doing her actual job of running New Mexico, leaving us and our children behind.

This comes after Lujan Grisham failed to file the necessary paperwork on time for local schools to receive at least $37.5 million in federal aid.

laundry list of scandals engulfing her administration

Pastor Jerry McCullah wrote this in his Memorial Day Post, it rings truth through America…..

Memorial Day was set aside to remember, to reflect on what brave people sacrificed to insure the freedoms we have enjoyed these many years since the birthing of this grand nation we call home, and folks from other parts of the world desire to be a part of.  Many of our older citizenship still remember and appreciate all the final sacrifices made on our behalf and future’s security.

However, there is a movement to erase, or at least lesson the importance of the American Spirit and the American Dream as it once was.   Soon, future generations will simply not remember that the original American Dream was birthed through the fighting, sacrificing, even through death, all fueled by the American Spirit on the American men and women who believed in a land “Under GOD.”   GOD gave the dream and the spirit to the American people who pursued His cause.   Many wonderful, heroic people gave their all in many conflicts throughout the world, even at home, so that we could be free “Under GOD.”   Those two words are our Dream and Spirit.   We must regain those words and His favor and power.

We are forever grateful for the many who sacrificed to allow Americans to be all that it means to be an American.  “We the People” have truly been blessed beyond measure.  Our deepest gratitude is extended to all the men and women who preserved our foundation on God through the surrendering of life so precious.  “Thank you” is never enough.   “We the People” must be willing to carry the torch of sacrifice into the future.

The American Dream is in danger of extinction.   Some want to change all that has held us together; our Constitution, yes, but more importantly the morals and standards of God’s Holy Word, the Bible.  Socialism is at the front door, while Communism is heavy breathing at the backdoor.   As a society, we are further removed from God’s graces and mercies than we have been in history.  No politician of any political party in any station of government has the power or wisdom to reroute our current path without the help of Almighty God.  We need His rescue!  We must have His Mercy!

What America needs today; right now, is for the Church of God; those who claim the name of the only Son of God, Jesus Christ, to willingly become people of sacrifice to secure the forgiveness and rescuing power of God.

“If My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.”  (2 Chronicles 7:14)

This verse does not say if all of American citizens, it clearly says that the responsibility falls squarely of God’s people who claim, call on, and respond to, His holy name, will humble themselves, and pray, seeking His face for the forgiveness of sin while repenting of the same; then He will hear our pleas and forgive sins while healing the land.

There it is Church; America needs, and God awaits, the Church to become right with Him and be the clean channel for God’s forgiving revival and Spiritual Awakening that will bring salvation and healing in the land.

Church, it is only right and fitting that the Church of the LORD Jesus Christ would once again take up Her Cross, dying to self, while becoming living sacrifices for all, to restore our being “one nation Under God” once again!   Let us remember, honor, and restore all who have gone before in the ultimate sacrifices.  We must be sacrifices for God, and our world!  Pray On!

From Dr. Jim Denison:

Evangelical Christians certainly have reasons for anxiety these days.

A USA Today writer called on AT&T Stadium, home of the Dallas Cowboys, to cancel the Promise Keepers Men’s Conference scheduled for July 16 and 17, claiming that the stadium is “helping to mainstream hate speech.” Vandals toppled a statue of Jesus and burned an American flag outside a Catholic church in Brooklyn, New York.

A federal judge denied a request from the College of the Ozarks, a Christian university in Missouri, to be exempted from a Biden administration directive that allows biological men who “identify” as female to live in women’s dormitories. An emeritus professor of neuroscience and psychology at Duke University has been removed from an American Psychological Association email group for suggesting there are only two sexes.

A new study found that 43 percent of millennials “don’t know, don’t care, don’t believe God exists.” And LifeWay Research reported this week that for the year 2019, Protestant church closures outpaced church openings in the US.

I am so very disgusted with the Governor and her pot allies on how they are moving to harm our children with pot. They act like pot is a god. They act like pot is the savior of New Mexico. People like me have been left out of this decision which will have such a harmful effect on the people of New Mexico, mark my word! The Governor and her allies love to feed addictions, home delivery of booze and now pot sales. They are looking in all the wrong places for revenue. We have people die in this state of alcoholism, drunk drivers, drug addictions, now some pot heads will drive and kill. We just had a horrific accident that claimed the life of a Priest, reportedly due to drag racing. Drag racing is a horrific problem in Albuquerque, now add pot to that equation. How does this feeding of addictions improve the quality of life in New Mexico? Why would anyone be a police officer in New Mexico? The Governor and her allies just poured gas on an already raging fire of hell. It seems to me much of New Mexico is on a death march. I always need to point out the greatest sin here in New Mexico…killing God’s babies through abortion. Hell on earth.

Without wise leadership, a nation falls; there is safety in having many advisers. Proverbs 11:14

Now it is required that those who have been given a trust must prove faithful. 1 Corinthians 4:2

Then the way you live will always honor and please the Lord, and your lives will produce every kind of good fruit. All the while, you will grow as you learn to know God better and better. Colossians 1:10

Do not answer a fool according to his folly, or you yourself will be just like him. Proverbs 26:4

From Adrian Rogers:

At its core definition, stewardship is our relationship with money: how we obtain, save, invest, spend, and give our wealth. God is interested in this relationship, as is Satan—our enemy who would love to keep us in financial bondage.

If money increases our worries, or if we have plenty in the bank but we have no treasure in Heaven, we are in financial bondage. We all want to be free from the curse of debt, but freedom is only found when we are faithful in stewardship.

In order to obtain financial freedom, we must first personally return to God; He does not need our money, but He wants our fellowship. When we remember tithing is God’s way of revealing our priorities to ourselves, we will see tithing as a great blessing. It is our privilege to show God that He is first in our lives and everything else is second.

New Mexico lays out timeline for recreational marijuana sales

Recreational pot sales could fire up before April deadline

New Mexico Recreational Pot Heads

Everything in this nation and therefore the world is dramatically and quickly changing like we’ve never seen before in our time. Yes, evil will prosper in the days ahead. Yes, there is coming (no one knows when) a one world government, a one world economy, and a one world religion. This evil worldly system absolutely hates the Christ-followers and will do all they can to destroy us with everything they’ve got. Regardless, if you know your Bible you know how it all ends… great news for us… horrific news for “them”.
So, with that in mind, do you often feel as if you’ve entered the Twilight Zone with a dose of the Outer Limits? Or maybe, if you have a biblical worldview, do you feel like you’re living in the “End Times”?
Do you know someone who gets all excited about us supposedly living in the “Last Days…the End Times”? If so, you’ll want to calm them down by turning to Amos 5:18 that states, “Woe unto you that desire the day of the LORD! to what end is it for you? the day of the LORD is darkness, and not light.”
Remind them that before that “great and glorious day of the Lord” (Acts 2:20, “The sun will be turned into darkness and the moon into blood, before the great and glorious day of the Lord comes.) comes that they’re hoping for, that a whole lot of terrible persecution, pain and suffering like never before has to first occur in the “End Times”. It’s a time of terrible darkness, wrath, and fury that you and I will experience if we have not yet met our appointed time of death (Hebrews 9:27). And this horrific time is allowed to reign for years before our Lord Jesus Christ finally puts an end to it. There is no joy to be found in the Tribulation Period. Zero!

There have been numerous horrific times in history that didn’t lead into the “End Times”. Who’s to say we’re not in one of those terrible periods of history that leads into the “Last Days”? People experiencing awful times have truly believed they were living in the “Last Days” ever since the Apostle John’s Revelation. So, for the last 2,000 plus years, there have been those who are always banging that “End Times” drum while trying to fit it into their current events. And right now there are those who are doing the exact same thing.
Just about every one of the following 50 prophecies has been declared by those drum bangers since the Revelation letter was released to us. But none of these 50 prove that we are right now in the “Last Days”. Therefore, since we are not, let’s pull our collective heads out of the sand and stop waiting around for God to take us out of this insanity, and now get busy doing His work and doing His commandments.

Judgment by God comes when we fail to do our job. And we as a nation are failing… big time! Judgement is coming to the U.S.A. and its going to be beyond awful.
So, it really shouldn’t come as a big surprise to you that the sinful nature of New Mexico just became the 16th State to legalize recreational marijuana along with the pot heads in Alaska, Arizona, California (70% of communities don’t allow recreational marijuana and canceled medical marijuana sales), Colorado (In 2016, Denver’s recreational marijuana industry used 4 % of the city’s energy – that’s enough electricity to power 32,355 homes – and was responsible for approximately 393,053 pounds of CO2 emissions – that matches CO2 produced by 38,177 cars. Furthermore, their marijuana industry generated 18.78 million pieces of plastic. Also, steady increases of the negative effects to health, motor vehicle deaths, adolescents’ school issues, mental health, poison control, and many social problems, including black markets continue to thrive in Colorado.), Illinois, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, Montana, New Jersey, Oregon, South Dakota, Vermont, Washington as well as the District of Columbia, and three U.S. territories – Guam, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Stay tuned… more recreational marijuana in states to follow… guaranteed… unless all Christians pray up and show up.
It’s tragic to think that New Mexico lawmakers could look into eventually decriminalizing heroin, crack and methamphetamines in the future. No New Mexico legislator has made such statements nor have they introduced legislation to the effort… but it’s not far-fetched to think that the legalization of heroine, crack and methamphetamines for “recreational” purposes could be next.
Roswell Mayor Dennis Kintigh, a former FBI special agent, said legalization of narcotics could be destructive. He goes on to say, “People who have never dealt with a family of a meth user have no concept of how destructive that drug is. Same thing for heroin and that’s the problem. These people who have these rose-colored glasses concept, ‘well it’s only a problem because it’s illegal,’ no it’s illegal because they’re problems. The reality is there’s a huge drug problem here in New Mexico. I believe the drug problem really flows from behavioral health issues and this has done nothing to make it better. This is basically the state serving as an enabler to encourage those who are in bad shape having real issues to continue to wallow in a situation that will ultimately destroy them.”  Actually, Dennis, those “behavioral health issues” are in reality a personal sin issue and thus a spiritual issue that only Jesus can deliver them from.
Tragically, the narcissistic, power hungry, globalist New Mexico governor Michelle Lujan Grisham, a socialistic democrat, signed the recreational “pot bill” into law, that would also erase the criminal records of people who possessed marijuana for “personal use”. She said in a statement that workers, entrepreneurs and the government would benefit from the new industry, creating jobs and tax revenue. She said, “And those who have been harmed by this country’s failed war on drugs, disproportionately communities of color, will benefit from our state’s smart, fair and equitable new approach to past low-level convictions.” That’s basically double-speak for calling evil good.
She and her globalist kind are not satisfied to merely live their lives, take care of their families and make their mark peacefully. Rather, they crave power over all else. They desperately want control over you, over me, over everything, and they will use any means at their disposal to get it… even “legalizing” illegal drugs. She and her kind have something like a drug addiction; globalists are like crack addicts, they can never get enough power, there’s always something more to take.
They tell themselves and others that “they know what is best” for the rest of us. They believe themselves superior and therefore it’s their “destiny” to dictate and micromanage society for the “greater good” of us all… a “Reset” of everything for their taking. But really, they have no noble aspirations. They have no empathy or honor. They don’t care about the average human being, the environment or society in general. They only care about themselves and their delusions of grandeur. These people are a cancer in the rest of civilization.
Bible believers are also known to be called “Conservative Americans”. We’ve been a thorn in the side of the Marxist globalists (communists) social democrats for a long time. The bottom line is that there cannot be communist and Christian (Conservative) ideals at the same time in the same place. It’s impossible. Oil and water don’t mix. We believe in freedom of speech, limited government, true free markets, individual liberty, private property rights, the right to self-defense, the right to medical self-determination, freedom of religion, and the non-aggression principle (we won’t harm you unless you try to harm us). None of these ideals can exist in a globalist (communist) world because globalism is fully centralized tyranny of which you are experiencing more and more of it manifest almost daily.
Globalists are particularly obsessed with deconstructing and sabotaging their state and even America in the pursuit of their global madness. Real humanitarians would not have a problem if someone didn’t want to accept their “charity”, but global psychopaths cannot abide by a group of people rejecting them and their ideology. You’re not allowed to walk away from them. You’re not allowed to do things your own way. You must be forced to comply. Their agenda only works if everyone submits. So, how do you fight and win? Simple… you don’t submit!
 Here’s a jaw dropping fact: New Mexico is presently in a drought and has been since mid-2017! Here’s another jaw dropping fact: Cannabis requires 450 to 900 gallons of water and significant amounts of energy to produce just one pound of the mostly life-robbing stuff. That doesn’t take into consideration the pesticides, fungicides, rodenticides and herbicides that pose human health concerns or pollute New Mexico’s fragile water supplies. But the sociopathic socialistic powers that be in New Mexico somehow “lost” those fact laden memos. Makes you wonder if the “governor” signed recreational pot into law because she and her “party” only wanted the future “votes” as well as whatever human suffering revenues their recreational “pot” schemes financially generated. It’s obvious that “they” could care less about the health and well being of the good, hard working folks that are trying to live in New Mexico.
But the reality is that Michelle has no noble aspirations. Again, she and her party have no empathy or honor. Again, they don’t care about the average human being living in New Mexico (or anywhere), the environment or society in general. Again, they only care about themselves and their delusions of grandeur. Again, these people are an evil cancer sucking the life from the rest of civilization.
Sadly, the New Mexico recreational marijuana bill was passed over by wimpy republican objections, but not all were opposed to its legalization; some just sparred over the silly details, including how the industry should be taxed, licensed and regulated. That’s basically double-speak for calling evil good.
Supporters, including recreational pot-loving Emily Kaltenbach, senior director for resident states and New Mexico for the Drug Policy Alliance, hailed the passage of the law. She said, “Today’s passage of the cannabis legalization and expungement package will ensure equitable opportunities for farmers and other small businesses, and long overdue justice – including automatic expungement – for those with past cannabis arrests or convictions.” That’s basically double-speak for calling evil good.
No matter how you vote, no matter what you say, evil has invaded our nation’s very soul… our earth and our lives are never going to be the same. We’re seeing the acceleration of calling evil good and good evil. (2 Timothy 3:3 & Isaiah 5:20).
You look at the people you’ve known all your life, and a few if not most have become so hate-filled that they agree with opinions they’d never express as their own.
Nothing makes sense anymore, no values, no morals, no civility.
The majority of churches are “preaching” a touchy-feely watered-down version of a message designed to not hurt anyone’s “feelings” for fear of losing revenue (members).
We’ve become a nation of fear that’s lost its collective mind:
Legalizing marijuana as an acceptable recreational drug so as to decriminalize what is in reality a recognized federal illegal drug.
If a man pretends to be a woman, you’re required by law to pretend with him. Or if a person identifies as anything other than what their chromosomes prove they are – you’re required to go along with what “it” chooses to “be”.
People who say there is no such thing as gender are demanding a female President.
Killing babies in and out of the womb is acceptable and a huge business.
Some people are held responsible for things that happened before they were born, and other people are not held responsible for what they are doing right now.
Somehow, it’s un-American for the census to count how many Americans are in America.
Somehow, it’s un-American to demand voter identification.
Somehow, illegals voting in our elections are good and letting them do so is the “loving thing to do.”
It’s okay for the unofficial, unelected, puppet-president Joe Biden to “blackmail” the President of Ukraine, but it’s an impeachable offense if President Donald Trump inquiries about it.
Telling Americans they must wear a submissive, highly toxic, life-robbing mask (face diaper) or two because it’s the right thing to do.
Telling Americans that getting a life-threatening, unproven, unscientific vaccine(s) a couple of times or more is the right thing to do.
Franklin Graham urging pastors and their congregations to take the gene altering experimental “vaccine” because Jesus would.
People believing that there is a virus causing this “pandemic” and that things will get back to “normal” once everybody gets vaccinated.
People believing the death rate numbers of the “virus”.
People who watch the corrupt news channels and believing their lies rather than believing the truth in the Word.
People who have never owned slaves should pay slavery reparations to people who have never been slaves.
People who have never been to college should pay the debts of college students who took out huge loans for their mostly worthless degrees.
If you cheat to get into college you go to prison, but if you cheat to get into the country you go to college for free.
Immigrants with communicable diseases, tuberculosis and polio are welcome, but you’d better be able to prove your dog is vaccinated.
Irish doctors and German engineers who want to immigrate to the US must go through a rigorous vetting process, but those criminal illiterate gangbangers who jump the southern fence are more than welcome and rewarded.
$5 billion for border security is too expensive, but $1.5 trillion for “free” health care is not.
We see other countries going Socialist and collapsing, but it seems like a great plan to a growing number of American citizens (most are high school and college aged and greatly dumbed down by their Marxist teachers).
Criminals are caught-and-released to hurt more people, but stopping them is bad because it’s a violation of their rights. And pointing out all this hypocrisy somehow makes you a “racists”?!

Letting the violent, communistic “Black Lives Matter” and their evil cohorts “Antifa” get away with destroying cities and their businesses.

It’s racist to refer to the “virus” as the Wuhan (Chinese) virus, even though it began in Wuhan, China brought forth mainly by those obscene Satanists Billy Gates and Tony Fauci… and that Nazi George Soros.

We are clearly living in an upside-down world where right is wrong and wrong is right, where moral is immoral and immoral is moral, where good is evil and evil is good, where killing murderers is wrong, but killing innocent babies is right. Where illegal recreational drugs are “legal”. Where medical drugs are the second leading cause of death. Where pedophiles roam mostly free to do their perversion. Where rampant child-sacrifices supplies the satanic adrenochrome addicts of the rich and famous, Hollywood, corporate America and corrupt politicians. And the evil goes on and on.
The bottom-line message for all these insane and evil things happening around us is that we’re living on borrowed time until God’s wrath is poured out upon ALL mankind. The life-changing question for every believer in Jesus Christ is, “Are you ready?” Are you truly grounded in His Word and therefore ready for the trials, tragedies and tribulation that is to come upon you and your loved ones? Are you prepared to now be the warrior against evil that God intends you to be?
God deals with sin and the unrepentant sinner, and He does so in His time with either grace or wrath (John 3:36). If you’ve put your faith in Jesus as your Lord and Savior, then you are under God’s grace. Your sins have been forgiven and forgotten, and you can look forward with confidence to that glorious day when you meet your Creator face to Face. For those of us who have a personal relationship with Jesus, we know that we’ve got the ultimate joyful ending. Jesus has forgiven our sins and has given us eternal life, and nobody or nothing can ever take that away from us.
Until our time is up here on earth, say with me, “As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord!” Joshua 24:15 – And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.
Dark times such as the one we’re in… need heroes. Christian, choose to be a hero. If you’re living for Jesus Christ you are a hero where every day and the years ahead will provide you with countless opportunities for a life worth living.
Wake up you nonbeliever… and you lukewarm Christian who doesn’t want to rock the boat – who doesn’t want to call out the evil for what it is; the once great unsinkable ship called “America” has hit an iceberg, is taking on water, and is sinking fast and you’re going to go down with it in a terrible way. Nevertheless, the choice is yours to make. What will it be? Time is short, make your choice wisely! Now is not the time to hesitate on your decisions. I encourage you to spend the rest of your life for something that really matters… following Jesus Christ and obeying His commandments because you know Him and love Him.
It’s going to take great emotional strength and tremendous courage to make a bold and uncompromising stand against your town, county, state, nation and the world’s increasingly anti-Christ system. But you and I have the incredible opportunity to be part of an adventure that the Lord is bringing forth and it’s going to shake the world. You do not want to miss out on the great move of God that is coming. It’s going to be unlike anything we’ve ever seen before.
Therefore, finish your life with, “His lord said unto him, Well done, good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.” Matthew 25:23
