The Bottom Line Is… :: By Jim Towers

Did you ever think we would see the day when men would desire to be women and women desire to be men, when good is bad and bad is good? Did you ever think you’d see the day when our government would be so corrupt that we can’t trust them or what they say – ever? We know that such corruption existed in every society in the past, and politicians have always lied (read my lips), but here in our beloved country – the United States? Never.

During our lifetime, total corruption and lunacy have taken over our country, and seemingly, it all happened very quickly. But while we slept, the enemy of our souls had infiltrated all segments of American society, including churches, government, learning institutions and the law. It all happened slowly and incrementally, so we barely noticed. Now the full-blown monster of deceit and corruption has taken over the country.

For the past 200 years, we have led the way in evangelizing the huddled masses through our God-given freedoms. Christians from all parts of the world have come here to make this the greatest country in the world. But today, we stand at the brink of self-annihilation through ignoring God’s commands for a fulfilling and prosperous life and instead living for the sinful pleasures of the flesh, often without restraint and far removed from God’s laws.

It is amazing how resilient we human beings are. After the initial response to 9/11, we recovered after a bit and went back to living a life of leisure and corruption, finding new ways to make money and enjoying life’s pleasures. This in spite of the fact that many were begging forgiveness when they thought we were on the cusp of war, but it wasn’t long before we put that behind us and rushed headlong into our next calamity, sparking another wake-up call – the recent presidential election.

What makes these people in high places act out their perversions is that they don’t like being told what to do and are being driven by lust and greed. There are so many on the take that it will be almost impossible to thwart our march toward Godless communism that they are being paid to advance. Albeit some would say that we should pray like never before, it is too little too late. If you were God, would you listen to a people who went along with the Devil’s agenda?

Even some of our church leaders are asking us to submit to the rule of tyrants and outright thugs who are trying to make it impossible for us to attend church services. They are encouraging President Trump to concede the election, thinking that such a move will quell the violence, but instead, it will only embolden the lawless cabal to even newer and bolder lawlessness.

If these pollical criminals had their way, they would shut down the worship of the God who restrains them while we nominal and politically correct Jews and Christians sit idly by. Knowing that our country is fast falling apart, we instead go on thinking that life will return to normal once our political calamities subside. But according to the Bible, things will only get worse from here on. Lawlessness will prevail, perversion will continue, and apathy will continue to set in until trouble comes to our very front door – a time in which it will be too late to do anything but acquiesce or resist and be dealt with harshly.

“Without repentance, there is no forgiveness of sin.” And what began as apathy will turn into complete compliance with Godless, leftist ideology. The things happening before our very eyes should drive sinners to their knees. Although fear and trembling are beginning to take hold of our once great nation, we cling to unwarranted hope that things will get better.

Have you considered that within the next few days, we may see insurrection and craziness like never before? January 6th is the day that our next presidential leader will be confirmed, and with the evidence of corruption mounting, it may result in President Trump winning – maybe by force.

If Joe had been any kind of honorable man and really cared about this country, he might have admitted that the Democratic Party made some grievous “errors” in tabulating the vote. He might also say something like this:

“I am fully aware that we Democrats have made some grievous mistakes during this election cycle, and I have been made aware that I am experiencing cognitive decline that would only result in irrational decisions that would harm the country. I, therefore, admit that the presidential election was a fraud and concede the election to President Donald J. Trump. Also, I’m sorry for having taken millions of dollars from foreign and domestic enemies of the state and am sincerely sorry.” I really doubt that such a thing could possibly happen.

The reason they can’t lose the election is because many of them will be found to be guilty of high crimes, including crimes against humanity. Already we are finding that China has been consistently buying favors from those in high places. A good number of them have become millionaires by siding with the enemy – the Dragon.

Do any of us really think the Democrats are going to go back into their deep, dark closets like in the past? If the conservatives in our country don’t concede to Biden on the sixth of the month, then the Democrats will up the ante and continue to loot and burn and shoot police, and chaos will prevail.

Whether the present calamity was instituted solely by rogue elements of society or if God Himself has decided to institute Covid 19 and the ensuing tribulation at this point in time is debatable, and it’s beginning to look like perilous times are overtaking us – we know from scripture that the fullness of the Tribulation period can only happen when the Holy Spirit is taken out of the way. This because the Holy Spirit is the one who restrains the forces of evil here on earth. This will happen, of course, when the body of Christ is taken up to meet the Lord in the air after He shouts out, “Come up here!”

The body of Christ is the visible, tangible force of good which inhabits the fleshly bodies of “Born-Again Christians,” but it may be too late for God to stem the tide of corruption since people are unwilling to beg forgiveness and repent. Without asking for forgiveness with a contrite heart, we can only expect the worst for our nation.

“Without repentance, there is no forgiveness of sin.” And remember this, that “Judgment begins in the house of God,” that is, the church. Thankfully, there is light at the end of the tunnel for each one of us – but only individually. God has made a provision for escape from the calamity about to overtake us. “If you will believe in your heart and confess Jesus Christ and believe that God has raised Him from the dead, then you shall be saved.” “For you are saved by grace, through faith and that not of yourselves; it is a gift of God lest any man should boast.”

Will God just sit back and watch us destroy ourselves, or will He act on our behalf when He hasn’t been asked to? Will He forgive us our sins without our asking?

But the bottom line is that “Without repentance, there is no forgiveness of sin.”

Being a Christian Isn’t Easy :: By Jim Towers

We all go through trials and tribulations – even us Christians. Illness, loss and disappointment often overtake us when we least expect it. In fact, there are a million things that can happen to us during life’s journey – some good, some bad. When bad things happen to us, we have to decide how to let it affect us.

When things are going our way, we have a tendency to forget all about God, and most people even fail to thank Him for our food – (especially in a restaurant setting). While many third-world countries barely get enough to eat and basically live in huts or hovels, and even on the streets struggling to survive, most Americans have a tendency to whine when we fail to have three meals a day topped with dessert.

I’m not one to complain about my lot in life (and believe me, it hasn’t been easy.) I’ve also had many mountaintop experiences for which I am eternally grateful. Although I enjoyed a topsy-turvy career in the movie business, I had to pay my dues too – even as a Christian.

Presently, in attempting to make a movie, I’ve never run up against such opposition in my life! So, apparently, it wasn’t in the cards for me to do, and I’m throwing in the towel. It appears God has other plans for me. No, being a Christian isn’t easy.

As I come up against obstacles such as not being able to acquire funding for my films, I just count my blessings and go on with life – which is much more than just achieving one’s aspirations. But in spite of this, I’d rather be a follower of Christ than anything else, and just being a movie actor/writer and director pales in comparison. Although I’ve been blessed in various ways, receiving Christ is by far the greatest good that ever happened in my life. That relationship I’ve had with my Creator has helped carry me through numerous trials and tribulations. Yes, life can be daunting, even for Christians.

The Bible warns us that we will have trials and tribulations to test us and make us stronger. And so, we call out to God for strength to overcome adversity, which is sure to come in everyone’s life. For some lukewarm or new Christians, trials and tribulations are usually hard to take, especially when Satan taunts us about these and other calamities. But Jesus warned us and commanded, “Take up your cross and follow me.”

Then, on top of these trials and tribulations, there is the rejection we Christians face on all sides. The book of second Timothy warns us explicitly that others, even family members, will turn against us, even though it makes no sense for non-Christians to shun someone who cares for them and their sense of wellbeing. They seem to think that we Christians are just oddballs they just can’t figure out because they have been blinded by the Evil One (although, sometimes we bring these things upon ourselves for the hypocrisy we display).

Because of Christ, I treat my neighbors with dignity and respect, even though they may shun me. But then again, the Bible warns us that this too is going to happen, especially in the Last Days. It’s good to know what to expect from others as followers of Christ.

Jesus did nothing to harm others. In fact, he was always blessing them and healing them of their infirmities. Yet they nailed Him on a cross after beating Him to a bloody pulp for no reason at all. The only explanation is that His persecutors were blinded by Satan as well, and it was foreordained by God the Father that He would die for our sins, not His own. He had none.

It can be especially hurtful when our own children turn against our Christian values and side with worldly philosophies, but I’m not surprised by ignorance nor avoidance, even when it involves a wayward offspring.

Being followers of Christ, we should expect adversity to happen since Jesus warned us of this. “In this life you shall have many trials and afflictions, but fear not for I have overcome them all.” But we must remember that this life is but a drop in the bucket of eternity. Plus, we Christians have inner peace, “a perfect peace that surpasses all understanding,” and we should be grateful for our understanding of scripture.

It won’t be long now until we will be with our maker, and so we are encouraged by Holy Scripture. “Therefore, we do not lose heart. Even though our outward man is perishing, yet the inward man is being renewed day by day. For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, is working for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory, while we do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal.”

Latest Book:

The book I’m finishing up was very revealing about how the National News Media often distorts the truth, especially when it comes to politics. Although MSM reporters are supposed to be unbiased in reporting the news, they seldom are – especially in present times. They seem to have even been given the license to tell outright lies to push their agenda. Is it any wonder that well-read citizens can’t believe anything they say anymore?

These reporters must think we “deplorables” (as Hillary Clinton calls us) are illiterate or just plain stupid. The irony in that way of thinking is that they are the ones in “the emperor’s new clothes,” and their followers prove that point with their mode of dress, outrageous behavior and tattooed eyeballs.

In the last half of this book titled SLANTED, our veteran news reporter Sharyl Attkisson has given us incidents of outright lies that were actually reported in prominent American newspapers recently.

An example of this is,

On Oct. 18, 2016, in the Washington Post piece not labeled opinion or analysis, Stuart Rothenberg incorrectly reported that Trump’s path to an electoral college victory is “nonexistent.”

Sorry to say, but many Democrats are experts in that area of life, as many have sold their souls to the devil for monetary gain and power.
