R.S. Helms Commentary

Thanksgiving The First Thanksgiving …. It is that time of year again, when we begin the Christmas splurge and a hangover to start the New Year.  Actually, several years ago the “Holidays” started with all the crazies at Halloween, now it all runs together, and as for the liberal, Atheist, ACLU, and those of this great nation campaigning for the denial of our Lord Jesus Christ, according to them it is best we leave God out of the whole season.  But I will not continue on and on about the importance of God in the heritage of our great nation, and how the liberals are set to demonize the Christian faith because at this point in time, Christians are the liberals worst nightmare.  No this blog on Thanksgiving is an attempt to express some of my personal beliefs or feelings about how God does bless us as a Christian nation with nearly every other religion of the world makin

Hi there, this is not an endorsement of any political candidate, but the contrary, because politicians are simply politicians and it comes down to the one that can be believed the most to do most of what he or she says they will do. Who Will it be?                                                                  With that in mind, who do you think will win the Republican nomination?  Nonetheless, we have one which has never been connected to actual politics, and why should we waste a good man on the likes of our congress and administration, that would come under the heading of blood sacrifice, without any atonement!  From the two top runners in this bid for the formal Whitehouse bid, we get politics and politics, with Romney we have a politician, and with Cain we have that, which we should have had three years ago; the African-American who would have taken this nation in the right direction, maybe.  With Romney, we have a politician who like most, have had their share of fail

What's Wrong ? I really need to pay more attention to my blog.   It has been some time since I last posted a new article, (blog), however, in the condition the nation is in with no economy change in sight, and the “non-inflation” starting to take its toll on the seniors and fixed income people of the nation.   Washington is speedy to tell us there is no inflation, only because they are measuring inflation by only a couple of indicators, the real estate market, and a couple of others not from the cost to the consumer at the checkout stand in the grocery, or how much $20.00 moves the needle on the gas gage.   In the real world, which apparently politicians don’t live, the cost of food, gas, clothing, and medicine just to keep a senior alive has long reached and surpassed the critical stage, and guess what we hear, Social Security costs too much to give the recipients a cost of living adjustment, which is going on three years.   I believe that Social Security needs to be refo

 the Bible belt, and Christianity should normally be something expressed openly in the public forum, and covered by the local media, which it generally is on Saturday in the “faith and values” section, and on occasion given a respectable placement and coverage.   However, in the two years of residence this is a first outside of smaller coverage in the Saturday section for faith.   However, this year a plug for First Baptist West Monroe, ‘First West’ was included in the coverage on the front page.   There were other churches named and articles tagged to the front page exposure as well.   With all this happening, I almost forgot to continue to consider cancelling my subscription, to the paper and to the website for various reasons, one was the way they covered spiritual and Christian faith, along with the contributors to their ‘opinion’ page in the local section.   Then I came to my moment of reality and remembered it is Easter, and regar

I have been asked, why I write about two subjects at the same time?   In the minds of those who ask, “religion” and “politics” are supposed to be separated.   When in fact, they mesh together like well machined gears, like a hand in a glove, like white on snow, and narcissistic on politician. I know the kick back, I will get from this blog and web page article, “this cracker is an old has been, who must be blind and senile, nearing the point of extinction, and needs to catch up to reality.”   Nonetheless, I still believe this is a Christian nation, as well as does the rest of the world outside of the boarders of our nation.   It is the most desired nation to live in the world.   It has more people, legal and illegal, trying to get in, than those who are trying to get out, more than any other nation in the world.   Christians fleeing from the persecution of a monarchy is what settled this nation and formed the very document that set us apart from other nations.   So love us or hate us,

I have written several articles and blogs concerning, liberal theology, liberation theology, and some about the apathy of the Christian community.   During some research for a piece for my website, I found an article by John McArthur, concerning the “Lordship of Christ,” the subject prompted one of his books, “ The Gospel According to Jesus,” which is on my must read list now.   After reading several reviews, I am more aware of some of the problems facing the church today.   Salvation without the lordship of Christ, involves a tremendous watering down of the gospel and may well allow some souls to think they are heaven bound, and are actually going to hell.   And who will be accountable for that major blunder?   Salvation is a free gift of God’s grace, through faith in Christ Jesus, and the work He did on the Cross of Calvary. There is no condition or circumstance that allows mankind to earn, buy, work, or weasel his way into eternal life in the presence of God, without the grace of G

 It really speaks for itself  As I was writing a blog on another story, and trying to get into some of my resources to keep current with developing events, I found that most of them are jammed with this thing that is happening in WI.   Therefore, I said to myself, self… this now concerns something that I have a great passion about; unions! It is obvious that the unions are behind this move, because it involves their power to control what happens in the workplace.   It was through the politicians who were supported by the unions, that the union was able to establish such elaborate pension plans and have the local, state, and federal government pay 98% of it; with taxpayer money.   The same is for most of the healthcare plans, employment tenure, and other policies and contractual management tools. Then I see “teachers” yelling “it’s for the kids!” onto a microphone held by some mainstream media reporter, while she has abandoned her real duties and shut the school down for three d
