Providing for Your Own

1 Timothy 5:8
But if any provide not for his own, and specially for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel.

Recent events, be they from Charleston, SC; Chattanooga, TN; Roanoke, VA; or on a train in France illustrate once again that there are evil men in this world who would do you and those you care for harm.

It is the duty of those of us in positions of responsibility to make provision for the needs and protection of those entrusted to our safe keeping.

Paul tells us that if one does not provide for his own he is worse than an infidel.

According to Thayer’s Greek-English Lexicon, the word translated provide, literally means: “1) to perceive before, foresee; 2) to provide, think of beforehand.”

So we are to plan ahead to meet the needs of our family and loved ones.

We must be aware of our surroundings and we must be prepared to defend our own.

As a first step, I believe that this means that we should go armed. Armed and prepared to fight back against the evil that surrounds. Things were evidently little different in the time of our Lord.

Luke 22:36 
Then said he unto them, But now, he that hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise his scrip: and he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one.

All the laws in the world will not persuade evil men to give up the tools that they use in the performance of their wicked deeds. Therefore, we must be prepared to fight back with all that we have at our disposal, and it only makes sense for us to be at least as well equipped as those evildoers.

Any government that would deprive good men of the tools they need to protect their own is an illegitimate government and is unworthy of any respect or loyalty.

“No Firearms” signs will not deter evil men. They should not deter you from making the necessary preparations to protect those that are yours. We have a natural and a God-given right to go armed.

Below is a picture of a sign that is posted at Landmark Baptist Church. The sign will protect no one, but our armed congregation is prepared to face the evil that may come our way.

It is important to always be aware of your surroundings (situational awareness) and to be prepared to meet evil should it rear its ugly head. Whether it be in church or your job or a vacation or your living room.

There is a saying prevalent in the Marine Corps, though I have no idea of who may have originally coined it: "Be polite, be professional, but have a plan to kill everybody you meet." Let this be your guide as you venture forth in this increasingly dangerous and ungodly nation in which we live.

We are not guaranteed temporal victory in every encounter with evil, but those of us who know the Lord are assured of the ultimate outcome.

We Don't Need a New Flag!

A couple of years ago a Southern Nationalist organization adopted a flag of their very own. It was a plain white flag with a black “X”.

Why? What was wrong with the banners of our ancestors that had distinguished themselves on countless battlefields?

According to one of their flyers: “No one else has this flag because it is ours alone among all the other Southern groups.” I’m not sure that anyone else wants their flag. It is evidently their purpose to promote themselves to the exclusion of others with a newly manufactured flag that is devoid of any history.

I can see nothing but confusion as the result of their new flag. What does the black “X” mean? What immediately comes to my mind is the radical Black muslim, Malcolm X, who was assassinated in 1965 by three members of the Nation of Islam. Surely that is not the intent of the League of the South, but that was my first thought, nevertheless. Perhaps it comes to the minds of others as well.

They are certainly free to adopt any flag they desire, but I personally want no part of it. The Black X ain’t my flag and the League of the South ain’t my country.

Recently the League has embraced the St. Andrew’s Cross of our ancestors once again, perhaps to take advantage of the resurgence of Southern Pride in light of recent attacks on the Battle Flag.  I have no problem with the League having second thoughts about setting aside that glorious banner of our Fathers.

However, it appears that the League would like to have it both ways. Below is a graphic that recently appeared on their web site.

“Two Flags; One Nation”? Seriously? It doesn’t work that way! What nation has two national flags at the same time? What nation would have such a monstrosity as the one depicted above? Perhaps some third-world undeveloped nation.

James tells us: A double minded man is unstable in all his ways. -- James 1:8

I will continue my advocacy for a truly independent and FREE Florida, and I will do so while bearing the historic and glory covered flags of my ancestors.

No, we don’t need a new flag . . . we need to raise, honor and advance the flag of our ancestors. 

Deo Vindice!

The Battle Flag and More!

I believe that I can rightly be considered an uncompromising supporter of the banners of my forefathers, and specifically of the Confederate Battle Flag.

There are at least three battle flags flying at my home every day, 24/7. Two are at the front gate and one is on my flagpole, under a Third National and a State of Florida flag. (No, you’ll not find any flags of the Amerikan Empire flying here!)

On Sundays for church services (which are held on the bottom floor of my residence) nine flags fly along my fence line: (1) AR-15 Come and Take It Flag; (2) Gadsden Flag; (3) Bonnie Blue Flag; (4) First National Flag; (5) Second National Flag; (6) Florida State Flag (Confederate period); (7) Florida State Flag (Current); (8) Third National Flag; and (9) Battle Flag. (The picture below shows five of the nine flags that fly)

My vehicles also testify to my Southern heritage as they are festooned with Confederate bumper stickers and even more so when I am participating in flag rallies.

Flying the flag is not enough, however. Embracing Lee and Jackson and Davis, et al, and not their Christian convictions and practices will leave us with but a pagan yankee-fied Dixie. Even if we gain our independence from the evil Amerikan Empire we will have accomplished very little without the firm moral foundation that our forebears stood upon.

So let us fly the flag! I encourage all Southerners and Southern sympathizers to do so, but let us also cultivate within ourselves and within our children and within our grandchildren the godly principles of the Old South.

Let us not seek a duplicate of the immoral Amerikan Empire under the flag of Dixie, but let us seek a true Bible-based republic of republics, like unto that which was contemplated by those who fought the good fight before us in the 1770’s and in the 1860’s.

Just Tryin' to Keep On, By the Grace of God

It’s been a very hectic week, I’ve been pressed for time and hence, this week’s Just for Your Consideration is longer than it has been being of late. That paper tends to be shorter when I have more time to edit, par down, etc. Nevertheless, I do think that all the articles in the paper are worthy of your consideration.

It seems that since I’ve retired I have less time rather than more. I sometimes get to thinking that I might need to throttle back on some things a bit. And eventually I may well need to.

Then when I get to contemplating such things one of my favorite bloggers, Mike Vanderboegh will write something like the following:

Three doctor's visits and a stress test today.Which explains the intermittent posts and comment releases. My apologies. I'm now wearing a 24-hour cardiac monitor. The principal concern of the cardio docs seems to be that my heart is slowing down. A couple of years ago my resting heart rate was around 60-65. Now it is 40-45. I'm also getting a referral to a liver cancer specialist to see if he can't do some laparoscopic state-of-the-art "zapping" of two cancerous growths on my liver. If it ain't one thing, it's another. The wound on my left foot continues to be recalcitrant about healing, so they've changed the treatment on it. Oi veh. Keep me in your prayers.

Now don't I feel like a whining wimp! 

If you don’t visit Mike’s blog every day, you are cheating yourself of some very important information and philosophy. No, I don’t agree with every word that Mike writes, but I do respect him tremendously.

I guess that’s all I'm going to  have for this week.
