Below is part of a post I posted on 6-23-17- heres the whole post- https://ccoutreach87.com/2017/06/23/friday-6-23-17-2/ I thought it would be good to re-post it now.

Here’s today’s top news- http://www.caller.com/story/weather/hurricanes/2017/08/23/harvey-2017-system-upgraded-tropical-storm/596105001/

NOTE- As I just looked for the post- to re-post it- there’s a verse at the top of this section- When Elijah prophesied rain coming- he then prayed. To be honest- I have used that verse when Harvey was a minor event- and when the path was not coming our way. As I ‘called it in’ to Corpus- sure enough- it did make a turn and now it is projected to hit Corpus Christi. We usually do not get hit this late in the year. Most of our storms are named- C- or B- or A [Celia- Allen- etc.] So it is out of the ordinary for an H [Harvey] to threaten Corpus.

.My car often mistaken for a cop car

.But usually not by cops!

.Jesus prophecy

.Came to pass in A.D. 70

.Fury upheld him

.The local man was killed- the medical examiner ruled it asthma

Isaiah 63:5

And I looked, and there was none to help; and I wondered that there was none to uphold: therefore mine own arm brought salvation unto me; and my fury, it upheld me.

 

NEW- I talked again about local issues- corruption- etc.

I mentioned various polls/studies that came out over the past few years- I did link them before- but didn’t save those links [I used to keep them all on one file].

 

In general- most Christians confuse the admonition to obey the authorities with what Paul also said in the same letter [Romans]

 

13 Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God.

Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation.

For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise of the same:

For he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil.

Wherefore ye must needs be subject, not only for wrath, but also for conscience sake.

For for this cause pay ye tribute also: for they are God's ministers, attending continually upon this very thing.

Render therefore to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute is due; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honour to whom honour.

 Yet the same letter says that there is none good- no not one-

Romans 3:12

They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.

In Context | Full Chapter | Other Translations

 

Meaning- we understand that men [women] hold positions in society- cops- judges- etc.

But we often make the mistake that this means those men [or women] are ‘good’.

 

Good in the sense that we as a society are often surprised- or find it hard to believe- that yes- sin expresses itself some times in a deeper way- thru those who are in authority.

 

There are reasons for this- and I talked about this dynamic on the videos.

 

In short-

Yes- people are inherently evil- until they become children of God.

And of course some cops- judges- etc. are Christians.

 

But many are not.

And never assume that all in these positions are basically ‘good’ - because if you do- you are not forming your views thru scripture.

 

I covered the local cop case [few years ago] who was having sex with a minor from a school he was working at.

There were other cops that knew it was going on- one even lied during the investigation to cover for his friend.

 

Eventually the cop was convicted and sent to Federal prison.

I told this story not to be mean- on the video I tell you how I actually reached out to the family to help them- though it never worked out [the cop- McChester].

 

But the other cop who tried to cover for the crime- sexual contact with a minor- only got about 3 days suspension- and as far as I know- has climbed the ranks of CCPD.

 

Yet in society- if you have knowledge of someone who commits sexual assault on a child- and try and cover it up- you face a criminal charge too.

 

Yet as a CCPD cop- you stay on the job.

That's just one example.

 

I told my encounter at CCPD a few years ago- I asked a cop if I want to report a crime by a cop [murder] are you telling me I do not call 911- ‘and report it as a crime’.

 

He told me ‘No- you file a complaint and we take it from there’.

I told this before- and talked about it again today.

 

So- there are real problems in Corpus Christi Texas- not just little stuff.

 

And yes- I believe this year is the year that will be remembered for the hurricane- like the locals remember Celia.

Yes- I see it coming now.
