Pride, an interesting choice.

" [Wisdom Is Better Than Gold]

 The preparations of the heart belong to man,
But the answer of the tongue is from the Lord.

 All the ways of a man are pure in his own eyes,
But the Lord weighs the spirits.

 Commit your works to the Lord,
And your thoughts will be established.

 The Lord has made all for Himself,
Yes, even the wicked for the day of doom.

 Everyone proud in heart is an abomination to the Lord;
Though they join forces, none will go unpunished.

 In mercy and truth
Atonement is provided for iniquity;
And by the fear of the Lord one departs from evil.

 When a man’s ways please the Lord,
He makes even his enemies to be at peace with him.

 Better is a little with righteousness,
Than vast revenues without justice.

 A man’s heart plans his way,
But the Lord directs his steps.

 Divination is on the lips of the king;
His mouth must not transgress in judgment.
 Honest weights and scales are the Lord’s;
All the weights in the bag are His work.
 It is an abomination for kings to commit wickedness,
For a throne is established by righteousness.
 Righteous lips are the delight of kings,
And they love him who speaks what is right.
 As messengers of death is the king’s wrath,
But a wise man will appease it.
 In the light of the king’s face is life,
And his favor is like a cloud of the latter rain.

 How much better to get wisdom than gold!
And to get understanding is to be chosen rather than silver.

 The highway of the upright is to depart from evil;
He who keeps his way preserves his soul.

 Pride goes before destruction,
And a haughty spirit before a fall.
 Better to be of a humble spirit with the lowly,
Than to divide the spoil with the proud.

 He who heeds the word wisely will find good,
And whoever trusts in the Lord, happy is he.

 The wise in heart will be called prudent,
And sweetness of the lips increases learning.

 Understanding is a wellspring of life to him who has it.
But the correction of fools is folly.

 The heart of the wise teaches his mouth,
And adds learning to his lips.

 Pleasant words are like a honeycomb,
Sweetness to the soul and health to the bones.

 There is a way that seems right to a man,
But its end is the way of death.

 The person who labors, labors for himself,
For his hungry mouth drives him on.

An ungodly man digs up evil,
And it is on his lips like a burning fire.
 A perverse man sows strife,
And a whisperer separates the best of friends.
 A violent man entices his neighbor,
And leads him in a way that is not good.
 He winks his eye to devise perverse things;
He purses his lips and brings about evil.

 The silver-haired head is a crown of glory,
If it is found in the way of righteousness.

 He who is slow to anger is better than the mighty,
And he who rules his spirit than he who takes a city.

 The lot is cast into the lap,
But its every decision is from the Lord."

 

Yes "Pride" is  a most interesting choice of sloganeering for those that promote debauchery. Today this nation celebrates pride within June's "Pride" month.

Tonight special tributes go to  those that celebrate with pride their advocation of debauchery of many kinds at our MLB's games except one. Our own team has special PRIDE beer drinks insulated holders, and a special Pride section  right in line with the tv camera's view of the left handed batters, and a big billboard in rainbow plus colors stating "Baseball Is For Everyone". Now that is a good slogan, for everyone, but it's very colors tell  it does not welcome those that believe in the sanctity of marriage between a man and a woman, nor in the raising of children in a Godly manner. It does the exact opposite of it's worded message.

Today MLB teams are wearing uniforms with badges promoting queerism, all except one that refused, the Texas Rangers. Somehow I find myself hoping my own team the Rays get beat by them today, though there are some on our team that absolutely refused to wear the queerism promoting badges last year, and I guess will refuse this year as well. The owners I guess see money in the event, though it may backfire just as the Budweiser queerism campaign backfired.

 

BTW I have taken to  using the word queerism so as to encompass all the versions of debauchery being promoted today.

Not only promote, but celebrate it as a good and wondrous thing.

To the point of requiring all of us to participate in that celebration of debauchery (or else).

How the Tampa Bay Rays participated;

I do have to ask of myself what do I have to do with Belial? Baseball is of Belial today especially so my own local team. It is championing debauchery and so I will consider it and MLB to be history in my own life. I cannot abide what it is today.

You could also just say LGBT people and not look for abusive epithets.

Queerly they call themselves queer, so queeristic and queerism should be no problem.

That is what I thought and still think too.

What I find is abuse by the whole cluster of deviates in that they insist on presenting their debauchery to those not interested in their aberration from God's guidance and commands. I also do not appreciate what is vulgarity in action nor in word by the straight or normal person.

I have realized that MLB has become an idol of sorts for both myself and my wife. We spend way too much time  at ML baseball. Fortunately the extreme woke-ism that pervades it has alerted us to our own excess. This morning we both came to the independent decision to eliminate the ballpark app. from our computers and cell phones.

 I disliked that app from the get go as it has ability to track activity and sell information to third parties, even outside of baseball ticket purchases.

BTW as many already know cash is not allowed as a means of purchase for MLB games or with its food vendors. Everything must be trackable by MLB ballpark app. Yet another alert  of what is happening to  and through MLB.

Combined with the permanent "Pride" banners and  the permanent "BLM" banners inside and outside the stadium plus having the first openly gay umpire throw out the first ball, and having players in gay pride t-shirts for warmup, and wearing rainbow wrist bands, it is too much of an insult. Not to me but to the guidance and command of God.

It had now become my shame to be participating in anything MLB.

It is being done by MLB in the name of love of everyone- I wish that was so, but it is not. It is WOKE and is part of the time of the signs of what is rapidly descending upon earth-for a time.

There is hope certain however that hope being my Lord and savior Yeshua and so there is joy in the morning, and I feel good in that certain hope that sustains through all things and all times.

Oh, you just hate the LGBT and black people. I'll just ignore you from now on.

Hi,  I am sorry you have such a sorrow filled continanance that you have to attack all that is. Your latest icon  with the inscription RIP  nobody screams out how seriously in trouble you are. May God have mercy extending His grace on you. May you become turned about to some joy in our Lord and savior Yeshua. May he stop you from feeding your deep hurt by striking out at everything and everybody.

Hi all, Pride is indeed an interesting testimony of heart is it not? Doesn't much matter one's leaning or type of debauchery proclaimed as deserving some pride for participation in it. Doesn't matter whether one is heterosexual or not. It is  the word pride, pride that does come before a great fall because of itself, it's denial of humility,  and it's dis obedience to God's command and God guideline for our well being, that is the evil that harms.

To proclaim pride is folly at it's very depth of foolishness. I suspect it has been picked for that very reason- to deny  God.

..."Pride goes before destruction,
And a haughty spirit before a fall"....

The nations are endorsing pride and the nations will fall because of it. These are the signs of "the time of the signs".

Well . . . I think the federal government administration is behind this whole celebration of pride of sinful behavior . . . 

Why I say that it is because corporations, businesses, all use banks for lines of credit. The federal government dictates to banks what are favored endorsements of social behavior (lgbtq+), and pressures banks to conform to the woke message, and provide incentives to businesses to go along with them or ELSE.

This line of reasoning goes along with the saying "Follow the money" . . . and yes . . . elections DO Matter . . .
