We must use discretion ...to avoid deception. And there must be a standard, outside of ourselves.

"The entire world must make their own choice ...though individually.  Right now there is a call to join together as a nation in the name of patriotism.   We claim that the highest honor we can bestow upon anyone is in reference to national loyalty, …those who fight for their own country, preserving the love of country through their devotion and purpose, and through their sacrifice for their country.   The opposite of a patriot is:  One who breaks faith with, fails to meet the hopes of, and leads others astray through deceitful words and practices.   That betrayal of one's own country, cause, or friends ---is considered unforgivable, and is labeled a traitor.   But who is it that breaks the trust, love, and loyalty ...of the only One who is worthy of trust?  There are many who have led us astray, and deceived us …not just because of greed, but for motives too sick to understand or to describe.   I don't know what drives such ruthless lusts of power …but once it begins, it does not need any help ---it thrives on, and drives itself.   Yes, it is confusing …but it is clearly evil.   Not only does it need to be exposed, all of you must likewise expose yourself to the truth …and ask yourself why you would follow any other path.  Any path away from the Bible just adds to the confusion.   It is part of the deception.  The Bible is the source of truth.   But what the truth has become, we have allowed it to become.  God is now either a small 'g', or generic, and Jesus is considered no more than a fable ---an unpopular one at that.   And instead of reflecting on things of eternal value, we have developed our own kingdom building.  Do you believe the one who has the vision of that kingdom should control the kingdom?   Who've you given that control to?  How many of you have put your faith in a plan of salvation for the economy and the security of our nation ---yet, you don't even acknowledge any substance of eternal security through God's plan of salvation."
