The will of God toward men

The will of God toward man means everything that God wishes to happen in heaven and on earth. An example would the first part of the Lord's prayer. Jesus teaches us to pray that God's will be done on earth as it is in heaven (Matthew 6:9-10). 
            There are five things (wills of God) found in scripture. We are to be sexually pure (1 Thessalonians 4:3-8). We are to be filled with the Holy Spirit (Ephesians 5:17-18). We need to understand that believers will suffer (1 Peter 4:19). We are to give thanks always (1 Thessalonians 5:18). We are to submit to our government (1 Peter 2:13-15). 

To know what the will of God is for us we must first know what God's will is, and we must want His will to be.

The Wall

The wall is not the democrat's real issue. The real issue is keeping Trump from doing something he pledged to do so people will not re-elect him in 2020. They know if he fulfills his campaign promises that he is more likely to get re-elected. Then he will probably appoint more conservative people to the Supreme Court. The democrats know this and will pull every stunt they can imagine to keep him from looking good and getting re-elected. With a more conservative Supreme Court Roe vs Wade will probably be overturned. The wall is only a scapegoat to make President Trump look bad. The democrats voted for funding for a barrier in 2006 and again in 2013. When Trump became President they turned against the wall to make him look bad. There are numerous videos of democrats talking about illegal immigration over the last few decades. I remember hearing this discussion years ago. What's happening is pure politics. The budget covers many areas. There are numerous provisions for many causes. There is a serious problem at the border. It's time to stop talking about it, take action, and move on as a country.

John Calvin

 I am not a fan of John Calvin, but not because I dislike him; don't know too much about his personality, to be honest. Abusive, insulting, harsh? I am pretty sure some people could have said this about Paul the Apostle as well. He sounds pretty defensive in 2 Cor 10-13. Be that as it may, it does not automatically make Calvin heretic. Ad hominem fallacy alert?

Spiritual netrality

Most of the world believes in Spiritual neutrality. We want to think that we are neutral and that at out pleasure we can decide to trust God or to reject Him. This denies the basic truth that all men are sinners (John 3:18). We do not have to do anything to be lost. The idea of Spiritual Neutrality is a myth. All men are sinners. Unless we come to Jesus, we will be eternally lost. This is the Message that stirs up so much hatred in our world
