D. L. Gardner: Time Will Tell

 Time will tell. Eerily, the Bible says, “the heavens will pass away with a roar and the elements will be destroyed with intense heat, and the earth and its works will be burned up.” Perhaps now is not the time for President Biden to ask Russia to oversee Iran’s development of nuclear grade uranium. Environmentalists’ dire warnings of extremely cold winters or extremely blistering summers pale in comparison with the very real possibilities of rogue nations carrying out pledges to wipe such-and-such nation(s) off the map with a nuclear blast.


From the mid-1400s b.c. to the second century a.d. — the book of Job notwithstanding — God inspired men to write His story for the world. So far, time has revealed the revelational truth of His Word far beyond any other modern or historic prognostications, collectively or individually. Time has already revealed a lot.


A good friend used to quip that in his home he made all the big decisions. His wife made all the little decisions. While he dealt with peace in the Middle East as well as foreign and domestic policy issues in America, his wife handled decisions about buying cars and homes, choosing schools and activities for the children, involvement in community activities and a host of other little other things. 


Big issues in America today include whether K-3rd grade teachers should counsel their students one-on-one about changing their biological gender without parents’ knowledge or permission. One Disney executive called such guidance of 5-8 year old children, “It’s the right thing to do.” This issue burst on the national scene after Florida passed legislation last week specifically prohibiting K-3rd grade teachers from such counseling. While other nations wrestle with foundational and  historical human rights, Americans are fighting over 5-8 year old children’s rights “to change” their biological genders surgically and hormonally.


Politically woke folks have so changed the meanings of words today that debates about matters of substance, i.e. prepubescent sex changes, devolve into redefining such terms as boy and girl. And, monikers like “Christian” defy any singular definition. Nevertheless, Christians have watched woke leftwing extremists unblushingly move historical moral goalposts to the outermost regions of sexual abuse and perversity with the unabashed approval and support of President Biden himself who told the woke sex changers last week, “We have your back.”


Unsurprisingly, human nature has not changed over the millennia. If anything, morality has continued its death spiral into entropy. How should Christians AKA believers live in light of such ungodly norms? 


Believers need to remember continually that we live 24/7 in relationship with God Who has given us eternal life by His grace through faith in Jesus Christ. How is this relationship affected by threats of nuclear annihilation or smothering societal sexual sociopaths? Our relationship with God stands and withstands all attacks from the world and Satan. We live daily moment by moment protected by His power within us. 


The Bible never tells believers how to change society’s evils and perversities. The Bible tells believers how to live in God’s grace through faith during our brief time on earth. When everyone else is losing his head and blaming it on us, we can live continually in peace that surpasses all understanding. Time will tell.

DL nails it as usual!

So...DL thinks Biden asked Russia to oversee Iran's nuclear plant and development?

Is DL a liar or just delusional or is he getting his news from Russian bots?

Also,if one was to lump all sexual predators together, there are under 800,000 in a nation who has a population over of 300 million. That's .002%.
And, DL thinks one low level nuclear bomb in a large city would not actually cause more than that to die and more still to sicken?


I guess not as DL links sexual sociopaths with nuclear Armageddon as comparable threats?

Of course, DL as usual, quotes the Bible while either telling half truths or outright lies. Biden is trying to renegotiate a nuclear deal to keep Iran from turning to Russia or China.

I won't even go into his bizarre penchant to take Biblical quotes out of context and overlook passages in The New Testament in favor of taking the Old Testament literally.

DL, Christians are defined by the content of more The NEW Testament. The Old Testament was written by Jews who believed in ONE God.

If you believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, then the words Jesus spoke should be of the most importance.

Since you’ve incorrectly described how the earth will suffer from the aftermath of a nuclear, please take the time to explain how the heavens will also suffer consequence? Do you possible believe one Iranian nuclear warhead will destroy the earth?

Education is free.

Gardner and Stokes have a lot in common. Both are Babbling mouth pieces that most people ignore.

Trollfest '09

Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.

Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).


Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.

Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".

In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.


In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.

Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.

Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!

This is definitely a Beaver production.
