“New wine is poured into new wineskins.
And no one after drinking old wine wants new,
for he says, The old is better.”
(Luke 5:38)
Dear Friends –
This tagline to Christ’s parable on The Patches and Wineskins provides insight into His teaching to the Apostles that while He was the “new wine” with all His great theology, they must be like the new wineskins ready, able, and strong enough to receive His new doctrines contrary and upsetting to the old ways. Goat skins were made into pouches in Christ’s time to carry wine on one’s person; in time the leather would get old and cracked. Placing a vigorous newly fermented juice into such old weakness was just too much for it, and so it broke apart spilling the wine to the ground, losing both. From the natural to the supernatural where the old wineskins being the Scribes, Pharisees, and Rabbis of the old religious school were just too set in their ways and traditions to accept the radical new teachings of Jesus, and thus they rebelled against Him claiming the old ways better. The Apostles, while steeped in Jewish law, were not so set in their ways that they couldn’t be enticed to taste and savor the robust righteousness of His Truths, and they chose conversion into new beings, new wineskins, which is exactly what all newly Baptized Christians profess.
I sometimes wonder, as I look out at a desolation being patronized by society in all its wrongness, what will it take to convert the maladaptive or non-thinkers? They are like the old wineskins, unable to imbibe any new thinking that might differ from their rigid and often immoral behavior. With so many people currently lacking a moral compass, we have seen a growth in the popularity of telling lies without any consequences. They deliberately misstate facts and distort the truth to their advantage, knowing by the time they might be called out on it, the damage they wanted has been done, and they easily avoid a slap on the wrist because the world has spun on to other things. Whenever a government committee is formed to investigate an accusation, it often takes years to complete because of bureaucratic red tape, and if the results are punitive, the damage can never be undone while the liar has ridden a high on unwarranted acclaim.
But what if the “new wine” isn’t the Truth like Jesus, and it is one of society's ill-formed, immoral, and self-centered fads concocted by a rebellious younger generation wanting no boundaries? The older generation quite naturally can’t stomach such radicalism to traditions of righteousness; what is offered to them is like sour wine, vinegar, and they want no part of uneducated, worthless philosophies. This is why you can’t pour that kind of junk wine into old wineskins, for the older, truth-loving generation knows, from education and experience, that the old ways taste so much better. Christians must burst forth over every radical idea that pops up before it ferments into belief; they must work to keep the truth in all its forms alive in everyday lives. When truth is destroyed, in either the natural or supernatural, and deceit rules, the joy of life will be lost. Are we there yet? Who can you trust outside family and friends? Only the Truth of Jesus can change water into wine… mundane existence into purposeful, robust life… taste His great doctrines, and be intoxicated!
SHAME ON YOU EVILDOERS
LIARS
So much volatile political rhetoric has exploded in this election campaign, which has not only incited assassination attempts, but has also built an impassible divide between parties where neither side can or will make a concession. One side tells us Bidenomics is working, while the other side says it’s a total failure causing ridiculous inflation. Dems are for abortion, even infanticide if an abortion fails, while Republicans are pro-life. Dems want open borders to allow illegal immigrants, including terrorists, to enter and infiltrate every state with financial burdens, housing issues, and safety problems with escalating crimes; Republicans, and most citizens, are not for any of that because insecurity and fear have taken over every city in America. Obviously, policies in diametrical opposition to each other exist, and the possibility of concessions being offered by either side is nonexistent. Why? Both can’t be telling the truth, so reason must be applied to discern where the greater truth exists.
Every now and then, a shocking piece of news is disclosed that will shed light on one of these typical problems of the day. Take, for instance:
Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg revealed in a letter released by the House Judiciary Committee that his company, FACEBOOK, DID YIELD TO PRESSURE FROM THE BIDEN-HARRIS ADMINISTRATION TO CENSOR AMERICAN CITIZENS ON A WIDE ARRAY OF SUBJECTS, including climate change denial, and that the Hunter Biden laptop was Russian disinformation.
Alarming news on terrorist threats was kept from the public according to Ex-Border Patrol Chief Aaron Heitke, who stated to lawmakers, that he was BLOCKED BY THE BIDEN-HARRIS ADMINISTRATION FROM ANNOUNCING AN INCREASE IN SIGNIFICANT INTEREST ALIENS (SIAS). These aliens are known to have significant ties to terrorism "At the time, I was told I could not release any information on this increase in SIAs or mention any of the arrests. The administration was trying to convince the public that there was no threat at the border," Heitke said.
Shocking statistics were relayed by retired acting ICE Director Tom Homan the last week of September, which sent ripples of fear across the entire nation. TENS OF THOUSANDS OF ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS WITH SEX OFFENSES AND HOMICIDE CONVICTIONS ARE RUNNING LOOSE ON THE STREETS OF AMERICA THANKS TO THE BIDEN-HARRIS OPEN BORDER POLICY. ICE non-detained immigrant cases are over seven million and include 62,231 convicted of assault, 14,301 convicted of burglary, 56,533 with drug convictions, 13,099 convicted of homicide, 2,521 have kidnapping convictions, 15,811 have sexual assault convictions, and other categories of convicted criminals have been released to your community.
The diabolical duplicity of Biden/Harris, and the entire Democratic Party this last year, was laid before us due to the stubbornness of a demented old man who didn’t want to leave office. Once the coverup of his incapacity could no longer be denied by party leaders, they did their darndest, surreptitious maneuvering possible to get him off the ticket. Pelosi, Obama, and Clooney publicly extolled Biden's greatness while silently positioning Harris to take over, and eventually, Biden had to concede to their pressure. To save face once the back-stabbing was accomplished, Pelosi suggested Biden be added to Mount Rushmore for he was one of the greatest presidents ever! LIARS all of them, and the whistle-blowers are relieving their consciences now to disclose how they were pressured to lie for these deceitful spawns of the devil who haven’t a speck of Christ in their being. This level of corruption isn’t bred overnight but grows and is honed to Satan’s perfection, only to eventually succumb to Almighty God’s power to bring about Truth; bringing light and judgment to all of that which was done in darkness contrary to His mandates. When His disclosed Truths are ignored or rejected, you are complicit in the spread of evil; you are allowing yourself to be duped, over and over again! Remember the proverb, “Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me.” Well, Shame On You All who show unquestioning allegiance to incompetent democratic politicians who have repeatedly been exposed as committed liars… you are fools
