Let Us be the Generation April 12, 2021

It wasn’t part of God’s original plan for humans to rule over other humans. He created us to have fellowship with Him. We were created in His image. However, all that got fouled up when Eve listened to the serpent and Adam followed Eve into disobedience which severed the bond between God and humanity.
Lucifer became the god of this age and humanity started its long and dismal effort to return to God on our own terms. First, we tried to build a tower to heaven. When that didn’t work, we began inventing religion after religion all based on works. We sought to climb a stairway to heaven made of rules, traditions, sacrifices, and ceremonies. Nothing worked. All we ever managed to do was subjugate some people to others who may have pretended to know the way but always knew in their hearts they didn’t even know where they were let alone know where they were going.
Just as in religion man’s original and metastasizing sin led to the oppression of the masses by self-anointed elites, so too in the secular realm. Since we refused to let God lead us humanity has been set upon like sheep by the ravenous wolves of conquest, heredity, and whoever the nameless faceless bureaucracy belches up. All hail the leaders of men!
Might makes right plus time and traditions equal legitimacy. For the vast expanse on human history emperors, empresses, kings, queens, lords, and ladies have run rough shod over the powerless bodies and lives of we the people. A few tiny sparks shined for moments in the darkness. Several of the city states of ancient Greece and the early Roman Republic presented a façade of republican freedom sitting atop slave populations like a beautiful laminate over worm rotted wood. With these few exceptions the history of humanity until 1776 was one long parade of human degradation at the hands of powerful elites above reproach and beyond control.
Since that watershed moment when the American Revolution lit a flame of freedom that sent sparks in all directions a flickering light of individual freedom, personal liberty, and economic independence burns like a lonely candle in a very dark cave. Today that candle is sputtering in an ill wind promising to blow no one any good.
The valiant attempt by we the people to carve out a space of the free exercise of those unalienable rights endowed by our creator founded the world’s first nation dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. And what this led to and what it requires of us was summed up well by President Reagan, “If we look to the answer as to why for so many years we achieved so much, prospered as no other people on earth, it was because here in this land we unleashed the energy and individual genius of man to a greater extent than has ever been done before. Freedom and the dignity of the individual have been more available and assured here than in any other place on earth. The price for this freedom at times has been high, but we have never been unwilling to pay that price.”
We have recently experienced a dramatic change in America’s direction.
In February of 2020 President Trump was unassailable. The strongest economy in memory, the triumphs of peace in the Mideast, the winding down of the forever wars, coupled with finally gaining control of our southern border had him cruising to re-election.
Then in March the only non-politician outsider ever elected president allowed hysterical doomsayers to convince him to shut down the economy over a new type of flu which the CDC now says, “if you have the virus between the ages of 0 to 70, you have a 99% survival rate. And if you’re over 70, the survival rate is nearly 95%.” This gave blue swing states the opportunity to unconstitutionally change election laws opening a pandora’s box of Chicago-style voting procedures and counting techniques resulting in the election of Place-holder Joe Biden and the President-in-Waiting Kamala Harris, the restoration of the establishment. And thus, the wildcard win for the populists and their in-your-face leader was beaten back by the power of corporate money, media, and lemmings at the polls.
Prediction: With the final passage of HR 1 and its companion S 1, or as our tongue-in-cheek Congress call it the “For the People Act of 2019” President Harris will win the election of 2024 by the biggest landslide in America. She may even carry all 52 states. And that long dark winter President Biden promised during his mail-it-in campaign will fall like the polar vortex over what was once the land of the free and the home of the brave.
One leader is gone, and people are no longer terrified by his mean old tweets. A new leader has left his basement in Delaware and is shuffling around in the White House signing whatever is put in front of him and answering preapproved questions from notes. We’re all once again safe and secure in the arms of the perpetually re-elected and their civil service nomenklatura with their life-time sinecure, top-shelf benefits, and golden parachute retirements. The terrible orange man is gone, and mediocracy once again settles like a fog over Moscow on the Potomac.
There are basically two types of leaders. Those who use people for their own interests and those who sacrifice themselves for the interests of the people. The first type represents worldly authority, the second godly.
The Pharoah in the story of the Exodus is the archetype of a worldly leader. He was willing to let his whole nation be destroyed even up to the death of the first born of every family just to preserve his own power and privilege. In this same biblical story Moses is the shining example of godly leadership. As the Israelites wandered through the desert, they rejected and resisted Moses. Yet Moses loved the people so much he offered to give his own life to appease the wrath of God so that they might live.
Today this kind of godly leadership is based on the example of Christ. Paul tells us in Philippians what Christ sacrificed to lead us into eternity:
Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus, who, being in the form of God, did not consider it robbery to be equal with God, but made Himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bondservant, and coming in the likeness of men. And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross.
Or as Matthew tells us, “And whoever desires to be first among you, let him be your slave just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many.”
Worldly leadership is all about the leader. Grasping for and holding on to power is not just the main goal, it’s the only goal. For the worldly, leadership is an opportunity for self-aggrandizement and profit.
For the godly it’s an opportunity for self-sacrifice and service.
President Trump, who made his money building things, changing the skylines of cities around the world, running multitudes of businesses, and employing thousands of people lost more than a billion dollars while serving as America’s leader. By contrast, President Biden, Middle Class Joe, who has worked for the government his entire adult life or cashed in on the benefits of doing so is worth approximately nine million dollars.
The Great Communicator, Ronald Reagan left us some wisdom that might help us gain a perspective of where we stand.
“Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn’t pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children’s children what it was once like in the United States where men were free.”
“You and I have a rendezvous with destiny. We’ll preserve for our children this, the last best hope of man on earth, or we’ll sentence them to take the last step into a thousand years of darkness.”
“If we lose freedom here, there is no place to escape to. This is the last stand on Earth.”
“I believe with all my heart that standing up for America means standing up for the God who has so blessed our land. We need God’s help to guide our nation through stormy seas. But we can’t expect Him to protect America in a crisis if we just leave Him over on the shelf in our day-to-day living.”
Let us strive not to be the generation that dropped the torch. Instead let us be the generation that turned back to God so He would heal our land.

The Paradox of Free Will March 3, 2021

How can we possibly believe in free will since Christians believe in His Omniscience God knows everything we’ll do in advance and we also believe He has a plan for our lives before we’re born? So where is the free will?
God has perfect foreknowledge. This means He knows the end from the beginning and thus He knows what everyone will do in the future and what any individual will do in any given situation. God has a complete plan for everyone’s life. He knew how He wanted the universe to end before He created it and so He had a plan for every action needed to reach that end before the foundation of the world.
If God wants a particular thing to happen, He knows who will choose to do it, when they will choose to do it, and under what circumstances they will choose to do it. However, just because God already knows what choices we will make this in no way removes our free will.
You see God is outside our space time continuum. He is ever always in the now of eternity. And in this bubble, we call reality we are the ones making the choices.
One example might be to think about our own foreknowledge of History. We know how World War One ends. If we could go back in time to July of 1914 the fact that we already know how the War will end would not force anyone to do anything. Our knowing that the assassination of the heir to the throne of Austria would knock over the first domino ending only with the Treaty of Versailles wouldn’t stop Gavrilo Princip from shooting Archduke Franz Ferdinand.
God created us with free choice. That’s why He told Adam and Eve not to eat of the fruit of the trees in the center of the garden. He told them not to do it, but He wouldn’t have said “Don’t do it,” if they couldn’t do it if they chose to. Free choice means not only that we can choose to ignore God’s commands it also means we can freely choose to confess with our lips that Jesus is Lord and believe in our hearts that God has raised Him from the dead and so be saved.
It all hinges on free choice. God is looking for children who choose to love and follow Him, not robots who have no choice.
God’s knowing what we will freely choose doesn’t mean that we are in any way forced to make that choice. You can choose to believe this or not.

Dr. Owens’ Newest Book February 15, 2021
Posted by Dr. Robert Owens in Uncategorized.2 comments
Dr. Robert Owens announces the publication of his first ever book of poetry.
Every Farmers Got a Gas Pump / Available at Amazon

He started writing poetry before he ever heard of poetry. There are poems in this book he wrote while in grade school and there are poems in this book, he wrote in 2020. Therefore, it took more than sixty years for this book to mature from pen to print from swirling thoughts to a book in your hand.
What is poetry? Is it just alliteration, imagery, rhyme, rhythm, sound, stanzas, tone, and meter? Or is it something other. Something shimmering between reality and realization? Is it the charismatic sister of prose encapsulating enchantment bringing substance to what is known intuitively?
You might find the answers to these and other questions in Every Farmers Got a Gas Pump
Available at Amazon

Whether we call it “Flipping the switch,” or “Mashing the button,” when we do it, we expect the light to come on. But if there’s no power all we end up with is a futile finger exercise. Even a flashlight needs batteries. No power no light. It is the power of the sun’s thermonuclear inferno that provides the natural light illuminating life on earth.
In the arcane world of physical cosmology and astronomy the debate about Dark Matter and Dark Energy consumes the attention of the best and the brightest even though this has about as much every day walking around relevance as the ancient question, “How many angels can dance on the head of a pin.” We’re told that which is invisible is measurable. Some scientists go so far as to say that only 4% of the universe is physically observable, made up of matter. The remaining 96% they say is dark or invisible.
We’re told if these unknown and unknowable quantities aren’t factored into our calculations our accepted laws of physics, at the universal and the infinitesimal ends of the scale, don’t work. They just appear to work within the observable bubble scientists call “The Space-Time Continuum” or as we call it out here in the work-a-day world, “Reality.”
In other words, though these intricate Laws of Physics may look and are presented as rock solid, they aren’t. It’s good to remember these and all Laws of Science are just theories constantly in search of either affirmation or repudiation.
What this tells us about the reality we observe is that science says it isn’t what it seems. If the Dark Matter – Dark Energy theory is correct most of what is – is invisible to us. If it isn’t true, we’re relying on science based upon physics which we know is incomplete, imprecise, and fundamentally wrong. If the foundation is bad how can the structure built upon it be good? If the basic assumptions of science are faulty how can we trust it to reveal the universe around us?
Some people believe that science is based on fact and religion is based on faith. When we learn that once quantum physics intersects with normal physics and once Dark Matter and Dark Energy collide with observable matter the claptrap of the modern scientific edifice is shown to be a house of cards built upon multiple leaps of faith disguised as logical assumptions.
If some want to embrace theories as dogma acting as the Apostate Apostles of Scientism preaching a religion of materialism that is their right. However, I do find the way the “If I can’t feel it, see it, or hear it; it isn’t real,” crowd twist themselves into prattling pretzels over the problem of Dark Matter and Dark Energy extremely interesting.
The many atheists in the religion of materialism tell us Christians that believing in a world we can’t see all around us making that which we can see possible is drivel. At the same time, they use their incantation of equations to prove that the world we see is made possible by that which we cannot see. One of the most fascinating phenomena I’ve ever witnessed is the fact that these evangelists of physical evidence can’t see the hypocrisy of their cult-like adherence to their anti-deity dogma in the face of believing and espousing basically the same set of facts.
Just a few questions for the High Priests of Pragmatism:
If the universe has an end than it must have had a beginning. Every beginning has a cause. What was the primary cause of the universe?
Or, if the universe is never ending doesn’t that in and of itself prove the existence of eternity?
If the universe is infinite yet expanding where would something that is infinite expand?
If the universe is finite yet expanding into what is it expanding?
Our solar system is powered by the sun. Without the sun there would be no planets, no life. If our sun was not there, there would be no here.
I am speaking of physical power, physical light, and physical life.
If we turn our attention to the spiritual reality, God is the source of everything. And Jesus Christ as the Son of God and His incarnation is the perfect physical expression of God. Coming to sinful man Jesus was born of a virgin, lived a sinless life, died a sacrificial death, rose from the dead, and ascended into Heaven where He is seated right now on the right hand of God the Father. If we repent of our sins accept Jesus as our Savior, He will cleanse us of our sin nature and unite us with Himself. We will become one with all other believers and one with God.
Jesus is the power of God. And without that power there is no light and we walk in darkness. For Jesus is the light of the world. He is the light that shines through the darkness and the darkness can’t understand it. We are descended from our father Adam , and we enter this world with a sin nature separated from God whose minds the god of this age has blinded, who do not believe, lest the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine on them. Unless and until we turn from the material world and embrace the spiritual, we cannot even understand what has just been said. It will be gibberish, the ranting of a fool. For the spirit cannot be understood with the natural mind.
Forsake the world of darkness and embrace the light. Leave the City of Man and be translated to the City of God.
The Laws of Thermodynamics are:
The Zeroth Law: If two systems are both in thermal equilibrium with a third system, then they are in thermal equilibrium with each other.
The First Law: The energy gained (or lost) by a system is equal to the energy lost (or gained) by its surroundings.
The Second Law: Natural processes tend to go only one way, toward less usable energy and more disorder.
The Third Law: A system’s entropy approaches a constant value as its temperature approaches absolute zero.
Even in the natural scientists say that the visible is dependent upon the invisible. That is based on their conjectures. Christians base their beliefs on the revelation of God. Though He reveals Himself in all creation we cannot think our way to Him. We cannot deduce Him or imagine Him apart from His revelation for He is eternal, infinite, omnipotent, and omnipresent. These are all attributes beyond the grasp of our finite minds. However, because He has chosen to reveal Himself to us in and through Christ, we know the material is dependent upon the spiritual.
Scientists say there are three laws, but we all see four. Which brings me to, the 5th Law of Thermodynamics: No power no light. Turn from the beggarly forces of the physical and embrace the infinite power of God and let the light of Christ blaze forth in your spirit. Then let your life become a beacon as that light illuminates the world around you.
No Jesus no peace. Know Jesus know peace.
