My first trip to Uganda was in 2014 when I accompanied my husband on a visit to Dominion Church in Kampala. My husband has returned many times to Uganda to minister to pastors and leaders.
In May 2023 I had the privilege of returning with him to Uganda and I was invited to speak to the women at Dominion Church’s annual Bible Faith Conference and at the annual Woman Believer Conference hosted by the Pearl Haven Christian Center in Mbale a town about 225 km or 5 hours drive away. Fully describing our experience in Uganda is impossible, but I wanted a place to store the four talks I gave to the women. I was thrilled to be able to minister God’s word to an eager audience and was blessed to witness life in Uganda and the faithful followers of Jesus persevering despite difficulties beyond our comprehension.
The ladies were a very encouraging and accepting audience and I praise God for the opportunity I had to share the Word of God. All the talks were translated into the local Luganda language so they take a bit longer to listen. You may want to change the replay speed to 1.25 or 1.5! I also must mention that the weather in Uganda was very hot and humid for us! The temperatures throughout the year are pretty stable and every day had a low of 19 and a high of 29 C (that’s 66-84 F). Because of the humidity, by the end of the talks most speakers are dripping with sweat!
Dominion Church Bible Faith Conference, Kampala, Uganda
Theme: ”For out of His fullness we have all received grace upon grace.” John 1:16
Day One Workshop for Women: Overcoming Challenges
Day Two Workshop for Women: Raising Godly Children
Pearl Haven Christian Center, Mbale, Uganda, The Woman Believer Conference
Theme: The Strength of Faith Hebrews 11:11
Day One: Seeking the Blessing of God
In this talk I include a short testimony of my journey to salvation through Jesus Christ. At the close of this talk I give an imperfect recitation of 2 Corinthians 4, a passage that has brought great encouragement to me. It was a thrill to be able to share God’s word and I pray it powerfully impacts people to have a hunger for God’s word and an understanding that it is possible to memorize it and hold it in our hearts.
Day Two: The Protection of Faith
At the close of this talk I give a recitation of 1 Peter 1 and explain how this passage brought me comfort and encouragement during 2020 and beyond as we witnessed an unprecedented world wide reaction which filled many with fear.

Calvin Robinson, an outspoken Anglican deacon from UK, presents some extremely articulate TRUTH in answer to the woke culture. I took some notes while listening to a speech he gave.
Many members of society – perhaps the large majority, share the views of Calvin but may straggle to express these ideas as clearly and don’t always convey the compassion we feel.
A man is a man.
A woman is a woman.
You cannot change your sex, it’s in the entirety of your DNA, in all of your chromosomes; It’s in your emotional state; your mental state; it’s who you are.
The idea that someone can be in the wrong body is a misnomer. You are your body.
God made man and woman in His image.
Are there people who feel gender dysphoria? Yes. Should entire cultures bend to their feelings? No.
We can have tolerance without affirmation. They can live in whatever reality they choose, but they cannot expect others to join their reality nor allow them to push their reality on others.
When we wholeheartedly accept a false reality, we participate in grooming children towards sexual perversions.
An entire industry has mushroomed offering hormones, multiple surgeries, and medical care that will be required for life. People are profiting from the mutilation of children’s bodies.
This assault on children is a monstrous, demonic, wickedness. We do not condone chid grooming towards perversion, debauchery and degeneracy.
Compassion for people does not mean affirming their mental challenges, especially in schools.
No boundaries – If you accept that people ‘identify’ as anything other than what God made them, the boundaries are endless. They can identify as other genders, as a child, when an adult. Allowing such people in schools to influence children is extremely dangerous for children.
Adults are the ones who must draw the line. Children are immature, have great imagination, and are naturally explorative. They need adults who can point them to reality. The loving thing to do for children is to protect them from assault – whether of body or mind, and point them to the truth. Children are especially loved by God. Jesus clearly stated a dire warning to anyone who would participate in the harm of children: “It would be better for them to be thrown into the sea with a millstone tied round their neck than to cause one of these little ones to stumble.” Luke 17:2
These are hard truths to express. Anyone seeking to follow Jesus has great compassion for those who have been tricked into harming themselves. We cannot truly love if we passively stand by and don’t share insight into this carnage.
What can we do? As followers of Jesus we can be ardently PRO FAMILY. Pro Biblical marriage. Support families raising children. Encourage the younger generations to have children and raise them to fear and honor God. Support and help families that are homeschooling. In everything seek to live for the glory of God and not in fear. “The god of this world has blinded the minds of unbelievers, to keep them from seeing the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.” 2 Corinthians 4:4 We don’t hate the blind. We stand against the enemy, his servants, their works and the effects.

Most parents in the west have been led to believe that a fever is bad and when a baby or child gets a fever, there are appropriate ‘baby’ fever reducers that should be given. New parents are advised by doctors and nurses on how and when to give over the counter (OTC) pharmaceuticals to babies for a variety of reasons. Many parents feel that if they do NOT give their baby these ‘baby’ pharmaceutical products widely available at grocery stores and pharmacies, they are not ‘good’ parents. Because the medical profession has not understood the value of a fever, many parents have been led down a path that they didn’t expect – sometimes including longterm chronic illness.
What is fever? What is the appropriate loving response for a parent when their baby or child develops a fever?
“Giving Tylenol to a babe for fever is equivalent to shooting your own attack dog when he’s going after a home intruder! Fevers are important.”
Dr Larry Palevsky is a NYS licensed pediatrician, who utilizes a holistic approach to children’s wellness and illness. He has been promoting health naturally for decades and has discovered valuable information that he passes on to parents. The following points about fever are from his website, where you will find even more detailed explanation of the beneficial role of fever in childhood.
GENERAL GUIDANCE IF YOUR CHILD IS SICK: “Do less. Stimulate less. Speak less. Eat less.” “Drink more. Sleep more. Rest more. Breathe more.”
Stop your daily routine and encourage your child, and your family members, to rest.
Provide a safe and comfortable environment for your child to process the illness.
Encourage plenty of fluids (water, tea, broth, soup, breast milk). If your child is on formula, you may need to either stop the formula completely, or feed fewer ounces through the illness.
Turn the volume down. Reduce activity levels, noise, excitement, schedules, chores, and tasks to a minimum.
Turn the lights down. Maintain a calm, quiet, peaceful environment for your child’s nervous system to heal.
Stay indoors; play quiet games. Going outside can be too much of an energetic overload for your child’s body when sick, and may prolong and intensify the stress on his body.
Give your child a warm bath, several times per day if necessary, and stay with your child as much as possible. Lay low, and watch your child closely. Be mindful of cool or cold drafts when getting out of the bath.
Regarding supplements, it is best to stop most, if not all of the supplements that your child is taking. You will need to use your judgment in making this decision.
Do not force your child to eat. When children are sick or not feeling well, their digestive systems slow down. Food is one of the last things children are interested in when they have a fever or don’t feel well. Just ensure fluid intake, and don’t push foods. Their bodies will tell you when they are ready to start eating again. And, most importantly, avoid sugar, including juices, flour and dairy products, and fried foods, when your child is sick, as these foods tend to increase stress, dehydration, and mucus production in the body, which will prolong, or worsen, the course of illness.
Observe your child for mental status changes.
Please remember that the resolution of illness can take some time. The more patience you have, the more closely you observe your child, and the more you efficiently remove the stressors in your child’s environments, the greater you will impact the length of recovery for your child’s illness.
You may need to cancel plans, stay home, and not participate in previously planned activities so your child can rest and heal at home in her own comfortable, safe environment. The most important thing you can do as a parent is to provide your child with a safe environment in which healing can occur.
Make the first day your child feels better a slow day. Stay home and rest for the first 24 hours that the symptoms of illness have finally abated. Try not to rush back into the daily routine of life.
Re: Acute Illness: Dr. Palevsky often remarks that “children need to be allowed to experience symptoms of acute illness in order for their bodies to appropriately cleanse the waste and toxins from their systems, and so they can go forward in their lives toward greater optimal health and wellness.” Rarely does Dr. Palevsky ever need to prescribe antibiotics for children in his practice. On average, he writes one antibiotic prescription per year. This is because he has come to understand that most illnesses in children are not caused by infections, and therefore, don’t require antibiotic treatment. Dr. Palevsky recommends that parents read this section of his website in great detail so that they can better understand and address any perceived challenges to their children’s health.
Dr Palevsky has a lot of experience and includes much more helpful information on the details of the body’s detox process on his website, including information on ear pain, coughs, diarrhea and vomiting. Many parents find it difficult to act against their strong programming of “avoiding a fever at all costs”. They may feel that their child is suffering and all they want to do is give them some relief. However, the short term difficulty of a fever will build long term health. Taking a short cut – by giving fever reducers – is actually going to adversely impact long term health. The action of Tylenol reduces glutathione in the body – an important anti-oxidant containing three amino acids that helps in the detox process. Giving Tylenol (aka acetaminophen, Paracetamol, Panadol) can result in your child being sick for longer, as well as other harmful impacts that parents are seldom warned about:
Estimates suggest 90% of infants are given Tylenol (aka acetaminophen). Pregnant women are encouraged that Tylenol is safe to take during pregnancy. Yet, there has been virtually no thorough investigation of the neurological consequences. There are 16 human studies which suggest brain developmental harm from use in pregnancy.Read more of the potential harm from this commonly used OTC treatment.
I believe 99% of all parents ONLY want what is best for their children. Navigating the information and discerning what is truly best is not always easy. There are many forces competing for our attention, allegiance, and money. Every parent will benefit from tuning into their gut instincts, seeking God’s wisdom, and asking a lot of questions. Most of us were not trained in critical thinking skills in our ‘education’ and have been subjected to a lot of marketing and propaganda pushed on us as “health information.”
A wise person said, critical thinking is all about believing more true things and believing less untrue things. We will spend the rest of our lives honing these skills!
I’d love to hear your personal experience of nursing a child through fever. I’ve watched both my five children, and our nine grandchildren receive a lot of TLC when sick and bounce back quickly from most illnesses. Fever reducing meds were never a part of my home first aid kit!

Please heed this serious warning and share with other parents and grandparents. You may be bombarded with marketing information promoting this product for your child. Please consider that the product is:
My name is Robert Malone, and I am speaking to you as a parent, grandparent, physician and scientist. I don’t usually read from a prepared speech, but this is so important that I wanted to make sure that I get every single word and scientific fact correct.
I stand by this statement with a career dedicated to vaccine research and development. I’m vaccinated for COVID and I’m generally pro-vaccination. I have devoted my entire career to developing safe and effective ways to prevent and treat infectious diseases.
After this, I will be posting the text of this statement so you can share it with your friends and family.
Before you inject your child – a decision that is irreversible – I wanted to let you know the scientific facts about this genetic vaccine, which is based on the mRNA vaccine technology I created:
There are three issues parents need to understand:
The first is that a viral gene will be injected into your children’s cells. This gene forces your child’s body to make toxic spike proteins. These proteins often cause permanent damage in children’s critical organs, including
Their brain and nervous system
Their heart and blood vessels, including blood clots
Their reproductive system, and
This vaccine can trigger fundamental changes to their immune system
The most alarming point about this is that once these damages have occurred, they are irreparable
You can’t fix the lesions within their brain
You can’t repair heart tissue scarring
You can’t repair a genetically reset immune system, and
This vaccine can cause reproductive damage that could affect future generations of your family
The second thing you need to know about is the fact that this novel technology has not been adequately tested.
We need at least 5 years of testing/research before we can really understand the risks
Harms and risks from new medicines often become revealed many years later
Ask yourself if you want your own child to be part of the most radical medical experiment in human history
One final point: the reason they’re giving you to vaccinate your child is a lie.
Your children represent no danger to their parents or grandparents
It’s actually the opposite. Their immunity, after getting COVID, is critical to save your family if not the world from this disease
In summary: there is no benefit for your children or your family to be vaccinating your children against the small risks of the virus, given the known health risks of the vaccine that as a parent, you and your children may have to live with for the rest of their lives.
The risk/benefit analysis isn’t even close.
As a parent and grandparent, my recommendation to you is to resist and fight to protect your children.

Children are likely at a higher risk of injury from the ‘prevention’ than from the disease itself: Increased risk of myocarditis and pericarditis, hospitalization, swelling of the heart. Longterm consequences on health and future fertility are unknown. Rates of reports of myopericarditis far exceed the expectations of the CDC.
Watch this one minute video where CARDIOLOGIST DR. PETER MCCULLOUGH EXPLAINS HOW MYOCARDITIS DIFFERS WHEN CAUSED BY NATURAL INFECTION. “Studies suggest the lipid nano particles from the vaccine go directly to the heart. The body attacks the heart causing dramatic EKG changes. A totally different syndrome after the vaccine. Vaccine induced myocarditis is a big deal… in children it is way more serious and prominent than a post covid [natural infection] mycarditis.”
For a disease that 99.9973% of children survive.

Creative Writing based on 2 Corinthians 11 – an ancient letter written by Paul to the people of Corinth who were facing a conflict about who they should trust, who they should follow, who they should believe.
“But I am afraid that just as Eve was deceived by the snake’s cunning, your minds may somehow be led astray from your sincere and pure devotion to Christ.” v3
For if ‘experts’ come to you and preach a salvation outside of Jesus, you put up with it easily enough. They offer ‘salvation through man-made technology’ or ‘salvation through man-made medicine’.
I don’t think I am inferior to your white coats. I may not have their intensive indoctrination —err training. I may not be eloquent, but I have knowledge. I have dedicated myself to focus on the topic of health and asked the Holy Spirit to guide me with insight and courage to share unpopular information. The U.S. has exported many things to the world. We even proudly export our ‘health care’ when we have an abysmal health track record.
I’ve never charged for my information. I share freely. My husband supports me marvelously.
WHO, CDC, NIH, FDA – these organizations (and many others) are the epitome of false prophets, deceitful workers, masquerading as bearers of truth. There may be some good people working in these places, but these significant agencies have been hijacked and captured by those who would profit from lies.
Are we surprised? “Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light!” v. 14
“It is not surprising, then, if his servants also masquerade as servants of righteousness. Their end will be what their actions deserve.” v. 15
“You gladly put up with fools since you are so wise.” v. 19 You put up with fools who have status, degrees, positions. People who openly defy God yet proclaim their strategies as the hope of mankind.
“In fact, you put up with anyone who enslaves you or exploits you or takes advantage of you or puts on airs” or injects poisons into your children. Or mandates poison so you can work, or travel, or attend events. Or forces you to deprive yourself of oxygen. You put up with it.
I admit that I am not that forceful. I will share what I believe to be true and encourage you to make your own decisions. I won’t tell you what to do. I will warn you of the harms of certain medical procedures that are being pushed on us. Get all the information you can and choose wisely.
Holding to the truth may mean you will be rejected by your own family, scorned, maligned. Stay anchored, unwavering from the hope in Jesus you profess.
Do I make mistakes? Yes. Do I know everything? No. Even now, I may be wrong, but you can absolutely trust that I am not lying.
Let God be praised and glorified as we seek the ONLY salvation and ONLY hope for our time, Jesus Christ.

Bee sting, cuts, scrapes, burns … things happen. Sometimes we seek medical care in an ER or urgent care. We are there for an informed opinion on our need for medical treatment, yet often the first issue we face is pressure to accept a tetanus shot. ERs throughout the country seem to have the same standard protocol to promote a “tetanus shot” for nearly every presentation. I’ve written about tetanus here, here, here and here. But I came across some facts that I wanted to collect and share.
Tetanus is the name of a sickness you get when the bacterium Clostridium tetani enters your body and flourishes (with a life cycle). C. tetani is an anaerobic bacteria meaning it can only live in the absence of oxygen. In the presence of oxygen tetanus cannot complete its life cycle to create the tetanus toxin which is dangerous. If a wound has bled and can be cleaned and aired, there is very little risk of this life cycle ever happening.
Before agreeing to a tetanus shot it is imperative to seek information on the true risk of a tetanus infection compared to the risk of harm caused by the “tetanus” vaccine. The CDC provides information on tetanus infections through annual reports. Vaccine adverse events can be found in the VAERS data base and the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP) annual compensation reports.
In an 8 year study covered by the CDC mortality and morbidity report (2001-2008) 45 states reported 233 cases of diagnosed tetanus infection including 26 deaths. https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/preview/mmwrhtml/mm6012a1.htm
Compare this to 791 deaths reported during this time period from a tetanus containing vaccine.
The Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System (VAERS) was set up in 1988 as a voluntary reporting system to track vaccine reactions. 155,830 adverse events and 2,676 deaths were reported following tetanus containing vaccines in children and adults. Updated statistics are available from https://www.openvaers.com/openvaers.
Admittedly, most vaccines are given in combination with many other vaccines so the harm cannot be attributed solely to the tetanus vaccine.
During 2001–2008, a total of 233 cases of tetanus were reported from 45 states; 26 were fatal.
An average of 29 cases was reported each year.
The average annual incidence was 0.10 per 1 million population.
C. tetani is ubiquitous in the environment (can be found everywhere)
Populations considered at increased risk for tetanus include persons with tetanus-prone wounds, IDUs (injection drug users), and those with diabetes and chronic wounds.
The findings in this report indicate that older adults are at greater risk for tetanus than younger persons, and the risk for fatal disease is higher among patients aged ≥65 years.
“Tetanus only” shots were once available, but are no longer offered because the manufacturers stopped production. The only ‘tetanus’ injection available in the US is a three in one shot containing diphtheria, tetanus and pertussis vaccines. While many doctors, nurses, and ER staff will encourage anyone with a wound to get a ‘tetanus’ shot, the only shot available is the DTaP for children and the TDaP for adults.
There are many first hand reports of patients agreeing to receive a tetanus shot, but when the shot arrives, the vial is for DTaP/TDaP.
In conclusion, during 2001-2008 a total of 53,470 injuries including 791 deaths were reported from a tetanus containing vaccine to the registry within the United States government database while during the same time period, 26 died from tetanus infection.
The tetanus vaccine is heralded as the reason for the decrease in tetanus world wide, but this has never been substantiated. Documented Tetanus Mortality in England & Wales from 1901 to 1999 shows “the administration of the tetanus vaccine is likely to be pointless and puts children especially at risk of adverse reactions to the vaccines. Deaths related to Tetanus and tetanus incidents overall, sharply decreased long before the vaccine was introduced widely during World War II.” https://preventdisease.com/news/10/102510_vaccines_did_not_save_us.shtml#Tet_EngWale
Tetanus is ubiquitous: It is found on the surface of the body, in the mouth, in the gastro-intestinal tract, in house dust and clothing. It occurs extensively in cultivated soils. The organism lives as a harmless commensal in the gut of many animals, in addition to humans…
The geographical distribution of tetanus across the globe generally follows the areas of moist, warm climate and fertile soil — the highest rates occur in the developing world, particularly in countries near the equator.
Non vaccinated individuals can have tetanus antibodies due to natural exposure. 410 Indians demonstrate measurable antitoxin despite receiving no vaccines.https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/6114281/
There have been allegations that some vaccines targeting fertile female populations in underdeveloped countries contain human chorionic gonadotrophin (hCG) to prevent pregnancy. In 1993, WHO announced a “birth-control vaccine” for “family planning”. Published research shows that by 1976 WHO researchers had conjugated tetanus toxoid (TT) with human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) producing a “birth-control” vaccine. Many priests have raised concerns regarding targeting populations in Africa, Asia, and South America to cause sterilization. https://www.scirp.org/Journal/PaperInformation.aspx?PaperID=81838, https://www.scirp.org/Journal/PaperInformation.aspx?PaperID=81838 and https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12346214/
Many efforts to give vaccines to pregnant women state the purported aim is to reduce neonatal tetanus (NT).
“NT most often occurs through cutting of the umbilical cord using non-sterile techniques or applying non-sterile traditional remedies to the umbilical cord stump, but infection of the umbilical stump is not always evident. Deliveries carried out by persons with unclean hands or on a contaminated surface are also risk factors for maternal and neonatal tetanus (MNT). Tetanus is not transmissible from person to person.”
Since neonatal tetanus is primarily caused by unsanitary cutting of the umbilical cord, education on better cutting and care of the neonatal cord would seem to be both beneficial and cost effective.
Standard of Care for Neonatal Tetanus as described by the WHO does NOT include giving a tetanus vaccine, ONLY giving tetanus immune globulin (TIG):
“NT remains an important global public health problem, particularly in settings with high neonatal mortality and among some of the poorest and most marginalized subpopulations worldwide.”
“NT is a medical emergency requiring hospitalization, immediate treatment with human tetanus immune globulin (TIG), agents to control muscle spasm (preferred: benzodiazepines), and antibiotics (preferred: metronidazole or penicillin G). A single intramuscular dose of human TIG is recommended as soon as possible to prevent further progression of the disease. If TIG is not available, equine-derived antitoxin tetanus serum (ATS), can be given in a single intravenous dose, after testing for hypersensitivity. Alternatively, intravenous immune globulin (IVIG) may be used.”
“The medical establishment chooses to turn a blind eye to the lack of solid scientific evidence to substantiate our faith in the tetanus shot.”
“When an old medical procedure of unknown effectiveness, such as the tetanus shot, has been the standard of medical care for a long time, finalizing its effectiveness via a modern rigorous placebo-controlled trial is deemed unethical in human research. Therefore, our only hope for the advancement of tetanus care is that further investigation of the ascorbic acid therapy is performed and that this therapy becomes available to tetanus patients around the world, if confirmed effective by rigorous bio-statistical standards.”
Tetanus incidence and mortality declined greatly before the widespread use of tetanus vaccine. (In excess of 99%)
The bacteria associated with tetanus is present virtually everywhere. However, when the human body does not present the bacteria a proper environment for growth, this constitutes a natural immunity to the tetanus bacteria.
The only preventives for tetanus are general good health and wound hygiene.
There is NO immunity to dirty wounds. Wound hygiene is essential.
Tetanus incidence in the vaccinated is about the same or higher than incidence in the unvaccinated.
Tetanus vaccine is not only ineffective but also toxic. It’s use causes numerous adverse side effects.
So, like all the other vaccine-related illnesses…is the illness truly rare, or are there simply lesser forms of it? Are vaccinated children truly protected from illness, or are parents and doctors too uninformed to recognize it?
“Five children aged five to 15 years contracted tetanus in Finland between 1969 and 1985, together with 101 adults. Four of the five had been adequately immunized against tetanus.”
“One half of an annual birth crop of the rhesus monkeys inoculated with tetanus toxoid at the age of one year had protective levels of tetanus antitoxin seven years post-inoculation. However, the immunization program had no significant effect on either the total or tetanus mortality rates during the study.”

The following 19 minute video explores the broad concept of terrain theory versus germ theory, the corona virus, the current experimental medical injection being widely promoted with an explanation of some of the ingredients, and the history of viruses as contagious from older books, papers, and experiments. I learned a lot. This is one of the best explanations of the flaws of germ theory succinctly explained that I have found. I’m not 100% sure that it’s 100% correct, but certainly worth a critical viewing.
Why you can’t catch a virus – great explanation
Critical thinking is about believing more true things and believing less false things. As we research medical and health claims we are often challenged by opinions, dogma, marketing, propaganda, and politics. Science has become a label but doesn’t always fit our understanding of the word. Most of us assume science is trustworthy. We assume science is based on clear evidence and fact. There are many excellent scientists seeking to understand, test, verify, and report on experiments. But there are also many using the term ‘science’ to support their business and marketing strategy.
Part of critical thinking is finding quality evidence. I found the evidence presented in the latter part of the video on early studies trying to show that polio and influenza were contagious very intriguing. Researchers went to extreme measures to try to transmit the virus from sick people to healthy, but failed to do so IN EVERY INSTANCE. You can read more about the experiments with Spanish Flu published on 2 August 1919 here. I find this particularly surprising in light of all we’ve heard in the media for the last 40 years or so, with heavier and heavier emphasis on infectious viruses in the last couple decades. In the video there is a reference to a documentary entitled Biochemistry Debunks Corona. In case you’d like to view more information, not only on corona but on pursuing true health, here it is: https://brandnewtube.com/v/xiqLrA
We may never know all the details that are at work behind the scenes in our brilliantly designed bodies. Exploring a variety of opinions and allowing ourselves to ask questions and consider answers is helpful before holding tightly to conclusions. Can you investigate two opposing ideas fully and fairly?
More and more health practitioners provide clear steps to health: reduce exposure to toxins, eat good clean food, get good sleep, get outdoors, find exercise you enjoy, maintain healthy relationships, and seek your Creator. Basically, reduce the yuk stuff of life, and add more clean stuff! The picture of the fish is a great illustration. ‘What can we do every day to help keep my environment clean?’ is a far better question than, ‘What sickness do I have and what drugs do I need to take to treat it?’
Another critically important question is, ‘If I’m healthy do I really need to inject this chemical concoction into my body to stay that way?’ You can explore more here.
Of course, ‘If my baby/child is healthy, do I need to inject him regularly according to a schedule designed by people with strong connections to an industry that profits from illness?’ is one of the most important questions a parent can consider. I’ve been researching and writing on this topic for years. I’ve collected information to help parents explore here.
Take your time. Explore evidence. Never make a decision on the basis of fear. The only fear we need is fear of God. When we truly fear God, we don’t fear anything else.

There is a saying that it’s easier to fool someone than to convince someone that they have been fooled.
There is another saying that it’s easier to convince people of a huge lie than a small one.
Once our thinking is built on a foundation of lies or half truths we have a hard time discerning truth. How do we know?
There is another concept I’ve encountered that goes something like this, “Those who control the present, control the past. Those who control the past, control the future.”
Schools throughout the world teach history. Rarely will the curriculums from one country to another align. Sometimes different regions of a country have different history. Information about the past is transmitted to the next generations via curriculum for a variety of reasons. Many Christian homeschoolers carefully choose curricula that will support their Biblical world view. As a resident, turned citizen, of South Africa from 1983 to 2013, I heard a lot of discussion about educational curriculum in light of the profound changes the country experienced. Many past events were revised with a new understanding in light of the release of Nelson Mandela from prison and his election as President of the country that had once considered him a dangerous terrorist.
Rarely is history as clear as we’d like to be able to teach our children. Many of us grew up hearing lots of dates and facts in history class and lost interest in the topic. The intrigues of nation against nation and political rise and fall doesn’t captivate very many. Learning early on that history is boring, we put our attention and energy into areas that are more captivating.
As a retired homeschool mom [all five have long since graduated], I’ve grown to be very intrigued by history and explored a variety of different sources. The reality of the role of propaganda throughout history is undeniable, yet none of us wants to admit we have been a victim of propaganda! Could much of our early education and exposure to media have been part of a tactic to influence or control my thinking? We pride ourselves on our independent thought, yet how independent is my understanding of world affairs both past and present?
One thing I have learned in light of recent crazy events, God’s word is a great place to place my trust. The old testament accounts sound amazingly similar to what we are witnessing first hand today. God’s word is true. God is trustworthy. As I view current events in light of God’s eternal truths, I have more understanding. I also have confidence in our all powerful God!
He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. For by Him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities: All things were created by Him and for Him. He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together. Colossians 1:15-17
God is still in control. All things are working for His purpose and for our ultimate good.
I found this lecture/interview with Professor Mark Crispin Miller from NYU quite profound. He is a student and teacher of propaganda throughout history. He makes some pretty startling statements in this 30 minute interview.
Mark Cripsin Miller: “It seems to me that the year 2020 and the first half of 2021 have comprised a global propaganda spectacle of unprecedented scale and sophistication. I for one believe that we were subjected to a series of carefully planned psychological operations over the course of 2020 and just beyond. I think it started with the roll-out of the virus. This particular instance of fear-mongering is the most persuasive, the most compelling, the most devastating kind of fear-mongering that’s ever really been used in the history of propaganda and that’s really saying something. We’ve seen the fear propaganda move from the Hun to Communism to Terrorism but now it makes the crucial move to the thing itself. The thing with which previous enemies have been compared. The evocation of The Virus Is All Around Us was enough to turn the wits of millions of highly educated people. It’s a very easy matter to get people to do what you want. Just convince them they’re under attack and that anyone who argues with that claim is putting them at risk.”
“Propaganda is the executive arm of the invisible government,” wrote Edward Bernays [in 1929], the father of modern propaganda. In part one of Episode 17, Mark Crispin Miller, professor of Media Studies at New York University, discusses the propaganda onslaught that defined the year 2020, when what was dismissed one week is confirmed the next, and why questioning official narratives “necessarily means taking ‘conspiracy theory’ seriously.”
We can feel uneasy and unsettled when faced with such information. Sometimes we prefer to bury our heads in the sand and pretend our fantasy picture of the world is accurate! Understanding that there is something not quite right about the narrative we’ve been presented can actually open up our faith and cause us to grow as we seek to know God and call on Him to guide us as we navigate life with a new understanding. God is faithful. He is calling His children to trust Him. He is still at work building His Kingdom. We need to re-evaluate our tightly held ideas about the world and re-examine everything in light of God’s unfailing truth.
Ultimately we can no longer live in a fantasy world. The adage, “What you don’t know doesn’t hurt you,” is changed to “What you do know won’t hurt you.”

I have a confession: I’ve been a rebel – probably all my life! God turned my rebellion around in 1980 so that instead of rebelling against Him, I began to rebel against societal norms that had led me away from Him.
I rebelled by having natural births, then home births, breastfeeding for years, questioning the morality of birth control, choosing to be a SAHM rather than pursue a career, turning off the TV, NOT watching the news, making my own from scratch, homeschooling, volunteering rather than seeking a paycheck, and most recently, not following nonsense rules…
Daily I praise God for His transforming salvation through Jesus Christ!
Rebellion can be so liberating! True freedom is righteous rebellion in Jesus! Rebels for Jesus need to unite. We are not such a small group. There are many who share our understanding. Compliance with tyranny and lies is NOT what following Jesus is about.
There is an enemy of our soul. Jesus was very clear: “the enemy comes to steal kill and destroy.” The enemy uses deception. The nature of deception is that you do not know you are being deceived. We have been blessed with a warfare manual that explains the conflict and gives us clear instructions on how to “wage good warfare.” For too long God’s people have tried too hard to be friends with the world, to follow social norms, and to ‘be nice.’ Our struggle is not against flesh and blood. Our neighbors, colleagues, family members, etc are not our enemy. We have the belt of truth and the sword of the Spirit – God’s word – to expose the lies. We can stand firm in love. Standing firm is actually extremely loving. Bending to men is agreeing to lies and forsaking God’s righteousness.
We live in crazy times. We drown in information, but face a derth of wisdom. God’s word provides clear wisdom. The wisdom of this world is foolishness to God. He gives freely to those who seek Him. Fear prevails because of a lack of faith. Faith will lead us to wisdom. We seek a savior for our current life situation because we want to remain comfortable. God has not called His people to a comfortable life. He has called us to a life of fearless following.
There are some bold pastors keeping their churches open. Members attend unafraid. Here is one warrior pastor who has been a missionary to the preborn for decades. He boldly declares the word of God and applies it to our current circumstances. Matt Trewhella pastors a church in Wisconsin and seeks to equip the body of Christ on his website Defy Tyrants.
In this 7 minute video he challenges a popular view that many Christians hold. You might not change your mind, but watch what he says so that you can formulate why you disagree.
There are also a multitude of medical and scientific professionals speaking out sharing facts dramatically different than what you will hear on the news or from government organizations. They risk a lot to share. One sweet gentlemen has put together an excellent video sharing his wisdom and insight. His sole goal is to help people stay healthy, yet this type of direct information is often purposefully banned — like book burnings of long ago. Dr Hotze explains in detail why the experimental liability-free gene therapy labelled as a ‘vaccine’ being pushed on the public using fear, panic, and mass hysteria is all about control, power, and money by the government and big business.
Paul urged the church in Thessalonica to test all the prophesies – or information – that they received. Is the church today doing enough digging to get the truth?
Do not quench the Spirit. Do not treat prophecies with contempt but test them all; hold on to what is good, reject every kind of evil. 1 Thessalonians 5:19-22
