1 “Our American ancestors crossed the Delaware and survived the icy winter at Valley Forge and defeated a mighty empire to establish our cherished republic, they fought so hard and lost so many they pushed thousands and thousands of miles across a dangerous frontier taming a wilderness to build a life and a magnificent  home for their family, they packed their families into covered wagons and trekked across hazardous trails, scaled towering mountains and braved rivers and rapids, to stake their claim on the wide open, new and very beautiful frontier.”
     President Donald Trump – from his acceptance speech at that Republican National Convention – 2024

2 On May 7th Judge Roberts said,

“In our Constitution…the judiciary is a coequal branch of government, separate from the others, with the authority to interpret the Constitution as law and strike down, obviously, acts of Congress or acts of the president.”

OK is Roberts confused – He said that the court is a CO-EQUAL branch of government – then said it has authority over the congress and the president. If it is co-equal how can they claim authority over the other branches of government.  How about Trump stating “In our Constitution the executive is a co-equal branch of the government and therefor has the authority to tell the court to ‘go to hell’ when it tries to take power away from congress and the executive branch of government.

The court does not want to be co-equal – it wants to have dictatorial power – a power the founders did not give it.

3 Thoughts to consider from Rev. Thomas A Robb

“Some wisdom for parents:

 Remember the way you treat your parents is how you are teaching your children to treat you when you are old.

“Wisdom for young people:

When choosing a wife or husband:

1#: First consider if they will be a good mother or father.

2#: Watch how they treat old people – it is a window into their character. Thus a window into how they will treat you and your children.

Guys: “Consider if the girl you are interested in spends more time looking at flowers or more time looking at herself in the mirror.” – Choose the former.

Gals: “The guy who is brash around you is sending the message that you should admire him. The guy who is shy around you is sending the message that he hopes he is worthy of you.” – Choose the latter.

4 I was thinking the other day of the enormous hatred that has lifted its anger against our people. But we must remember that God gave great hope to our Israel ancestors when they went forth to conquer the promise land. Today, we again face a powerful enemy, however, again we are told to take comfort. Joshua 1:9. “Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.”

God told them – he is telling us – to have great comfort wherever we go. Of course, where were they going? They were going under the banner of the Lord God of Israel to receive their inheritance. Once again we have an inheritance to receive and again the Lord is with us!

 – Rev. Thomas A Robb

5 “I venture to say the most important things you can give your child aren’t toys, or new clothes, or even food or love.  All these things have a place in their lives, and we certainly are to provide food, clothing and love for
our children. But what they need even more than those things is purpose. Children need to know their life has a purpose – a reason for living – a mission – in fact a HOLY mission.”

6 In church a few weeks ago we sang the Fannie Crosby song, “Blessed Assurance.” The lyrics of the first verse and the refrain are shown below

Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine!

Oh, what a foretaste of glory divine!

Heir of salvation, purchase of God, born of his Spirit, washed in his blood. Refrain: This is my story, this is my song, praising my Savior all the day long. This is my story, this is my song, praising my Savior all the day long

This song and many like it are the reason Christians are a happy and joyful people. When you see these Democrat socialists on TV protesting Trump, Musk, Tesla, MAGA and traditional American Christian values. it is obvious that their hate and foul language shows they are unhappy and miserable. But it really isn’t the song that makes Christians happy, it is knowing that our lives have been redeemed by the blood of the lamb. Our faith shows us who really holds tomorrow, and we can walk into tomorrow with faith in his power to deliver us from all evil.
