Redneck Review!
No. 192 - 12/24/2018
Well, it is here! The feast of feasts!  The day Christians and Christian nations honor the MAN of all seasons!  The God Man, Jesus Christ, the historical individual claimed here last week to be  the most significant person to live in all history!  The person starting our modern calendar, 2018 representing the number of years HE was born long ago.
And again it is admitted here that many people today fill the news with one denial after another, in a futile attempt to change the feast of CHRISTMAS to some giant shopping frenzy!  But fail they will, because a careful look at history tells us that this God-Man did live, did die on a cross, did rise from the dead, and did trigger a world wide movement of love of neighbor and concern for others that has impacted every nation of the world!
A careful study of history also proves that the beginnings of university education and of hospital care can be traced back to the Middle Ages to HIS followers and their conviction that sound education and care for the poor and the sick, was a mandate that HE left!
So, it might be asked, what implications might this feast day have for those of us who believe in the MAN Jesus Christ and the CHRISTMAS  we have celebrated this week? Especially since a new year is just around the corner, and for many of us, a time to renew old resolutions and make a few new ones as well! And for any others to do the same!
And what might a worthwhile New Year resolution be for anyone serious about doing something new and worthwhile and in keeping with the Christmas message? Along with ones each of us value personally, perhaps think about the following topics!
One: Develop more fully respect and appreciation of the MIRACLE OF LIFE!  As has been noted frequently here over the past years, the number of abortions in the U.S.A. since Roe vs Wade in 1973 exceeds 3000 a day!  In our country alone!  The number world wide is far more staggering, and one  beyond comprehension! If any one of us would witness the callous destruction of these innocent babes in and out of the womb, we would suddenly be so sickened we would quickly leave the scene!  For any reader who does not believe this, the challenge here is that you see the movie or get the video GOSNELL!  Or go on line and read one of the several books about his trial and the life sentence he is serving in prison for the repeated killing of babies outside the womb!
This is particularly pertinent to a Christmas season, as we read in Biblical gospels that the child in the womb of Elizabeth, cousin of Mary, "leapt for joy!" when Mary visited her after conceiving the child Jesus miraculously herself.  Mary visited her because she was told that her cousin who had always been barren, was six months along with a child who became John the Baptist! Six months! Twenty four weeks! Ouch! Thousands of abortions are carried out in this country on babes that old or older, especially by doctors like Kermit Gosnell mentioned above!  So, support no one or any party that tolerates this horror! And do support all those who work tirelessly to overcome this tragic reality!
Two: Be informed!  Space allows no detail here, but recently a U.S. department issued a warning that Americans should be prepared to feed themselves for a minimum of six or more weeks.  The advice concerns our aging national electric grid, and the threat posed by enemies who would love to disable it!  And what about our fragile national economy?
