Oh New Mexico, will you ever have the will power to overcome the evil of abortion, murder, drunk driving, drugs, booze, last in education, near the bottom in child-well being, also near the bottom in a good place to raise a family? How about corruption in our state government?
We have several pot stores near us and as I drive by I see people coming out of them with their pot. They look like they do not have two pennies to rub together, but somehow they have enough to buy pot! New Mexico and all of America now invites disaster!
But hey! There is a pot store and a liquor store on every street corner in Albuquerque! There is almost a Church on every street corner here. BUT Satan is devouring many here. New Mexico loves its pot! Record Pot Sales in New Mexico! Show Me The Money!
How dumb can government get? Now I have to make sure our car windows are up when traveling in Albuquerque because people who are vaping blow that crap out their car window like a storm cloud and it irritates my eyes and breathing. I thought the government was all about clean air! What fools!
E-cigarettes contain nicotine, a drug that’s highly addictive. You don’t have to vape every day to become addicted. Regarding anxiety and depression: Nicotine makes anxiety and depression worse. It also affects memory, concentration, self-control and attention – especially in developing brains.

It is the continued dumbing down of Americans.
Where are the Christians?

Just 4% of Americans have a Biblical Worldview. Just 37% of Pastors in America have a Biblical Worldview! Do you not see the destruction of our country? The downfall of the Christian Church? Does your Pastor ever teach on the Ten Commandments? Basic Christianity? Does your Church carry out The Great Commission? How many baptisims has your Church officiated in the last 2 years? Is your Church ‘raising up’ mature Christians?
“People die every day without Christ, and we’ve got the answer. … Don’t just talk about evangelism. Do it.”
–Dr. Stephen McQuoid
America needs JESUS! Are you carrying out the Great Commission daily in your community? Or do you work for the sit-more-do-little church? 3 Things You Can Do Today to Carry Out the Great Commission
Don’t just “play church.” Take action.
“So I tell you this, and insist on it in the Lord, that you must no longer live as the Gentiles do, in the futility of their thinking. They are darkened in their understanding and separated from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them due to the hardening of their hearts” Eph 4: 17, 18.
The Scriptures call the mind of the natural man “blinded” 2 Cor. 4:4, “depraved” Romans 1:28, “corrupt” 1 Tim. 6:5, and “unspiritual” Col. 2:18. The natural mind thinks from a humanistic, sin-debased viewpoint. The viewpoint of the flesh directs its thoughts. The sinful mind is under the control of Satan and can never please God because it concentrates on things of the world and not things of the Spirit. The natural mind walks the road of hopelessness and self-destruction.
This past year was my hardest in ministry. I has to take off the month off in December because the deaths of many caused me such sadness. I officiated to many funerals of young people dying of violence. Sharon and I pray for all the families. Our hearts are broken. So many innocent people killed by gunfire. So many Mommy’s and daddies are looking for justice. Try and put yourself in their shoes, and see how it feels.
The following is from Focus on the Family:
A Biblical Worldview is based on the infallible Word of God. When you believe the Bible is entirely true, then you allow it to be the foundation of everything you say and do. That means, for instance, you take seriously the mandate in Romans 13 to honor the governing authorities by researching the candidates and issues, making voting a priority.
Do you have a biblical worldview? Answer the following questions, based on claims found in the Bible and which George Barna used in his survey:
- Do absolute moral truths exist?
- Is absolute truth defined by the Bible?
- Did Jesus Christ live a sinless life?
- Is God the all-powerful and all-knowing Creator of the universe, and does He still rule it today?
- Is salvation a gift from God that cannot be earned?
- Is Satan real?
- Does a Christian have a responsibility to share his or her faith in Christ with other people?
- Is the Bible accurate in all of its teachings?
Did you answer yes to these? Only 9 percent of “born- again” believers did. But what’s more important than your yes to these questions is whether your life shows it. Granted, we are all sinners and fall short, but most of our gut reactions will reflect what we deep-down, honest-to-goodness believe to be real and true.
