I have been reflecting recently on hope and optimism, and how they relate to life. Overall, I enjoy being somewhat, if not very, hopeful about life in general. In the world as we see it around us now, it could be easy to be very negative and doubtful about almost everything. But then, you meet someone who is just bubbling with enthusiastic hope about everything, it seems. What's the difference? 

It doesn't always relate to how much “good luck” or fortune rests on an individual, as there are those with little apparent reason to have hope who are most positive about life, and those whose cups are running over who are really pessimistic. 

What does it take to have hope?

Jesus did not seem to use the word “hope” much in what has been recorded in the New Testament in the Bible. He spoke more of faith, having faith, and trusting in God and in Him. 

The concept of “hope” is used much more in the remainder of the New Testament. I am guessing that is because the object of our hope, as Christians, had gone to “be with the Father,” as Jesus said He would, after which He would return. He blessed the faith of those who saw Him and lived with Him, and believed. But He also blessed those who would come to believe through the word of those who actually saw Him, yet had not themselves seen Him with their own eyes. 

Those who wrote the New Testament had seen and deeply believed in Jesus, as the Son of God, as the Savior of the world, as the One through whom they could be saved and “born again.” So much so, that most of them gave their lives rather than deny their faith. And it is through their faith and witness, as born out in the hearts and souls of new believers all the time by the Holy Spirit, that we can rest assured in our HOPE of resurrection, as we live our lives in the world today. 

To talk of faith in God may seem at times to be crazy in this modern world, but to me, it is the modern world with AI, robots, self-driving cars, phones that govern lives, and everything else that seems crazy - when I think of God creating and sustaining the universe. Imagine, if you will - He created everything from nothing, and the scientists are still stumped on that one!

God Bless Us All!

We started this amazing country 250 years ago, and today we need to renew our resolve to keep it going in perpetuity. It falls to us, the Americans, to save America. Consider this saying...

“And Jesus said unto him, ‘No man, having put his hand to the plow, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.’”  Luke 9:62

We are beckoning your help, America.

Did you know self-control is a gift from God? 2 Timothy 1:7 says, “For what the Spirit of God gives us does not make us timid but gives us power, love, and self-discipline.” As Christians, you and I have a godly Spirit within us that operates in power, love, and self-discipline, which is the essence of self-control. If you lack self-control, ask God for it.  

When a relative of Donald Trump denounced him, the media were gleeful and full of endless coverage. But when Amy Acton’s mother denounced the Ohio Gubernatorial Democrat candidate as a pathological liar, the mother came under attack as “estranged” and somehow connected to the alleged abuse of her daughter when she was young. RINOs and the media took the side of the Democrat, denouncing Amy Acton’s opponent, Vivek Ramaswamy, as disgusting for sponsoring the ad.  

As Halloween draws nearer, the Republican Party must realize that the Bush family has been haunting the GOP for decades. After President Trump leaves the political stage, Bush Republicans expect to retake control of the GOP. This must never happen. Republican primary voters must elect another MAGA candidate as the 2028 presidential nominee and reject the failed policies of Bush Republicans, who should be encouraged to leave the GOP and join the Democratic Party, their ideological home.  

“You’re voting for either freedom or socialism. It’s not complicated.” If early voting participation is any indication, this midterm election may set a record for the numbers and percentages of voters actually participating in the privilege. We can only hope and pray that the anti-socialist vote outweighs that of those more concerned with current affordability issues than the nation’s long-term survival as a beacon of freedom.  

In the United States, there are approximately 165 to 175 million Christians of voting age (adults aged 18 and older). But whether these voters remain true to Christian values by voting in the midterms depends on the information provided to them, and it appears that many are being led astray from pulpits.  

Economic gloom and doom are big headline makers, but this time, as a result of a predicted socialist wave taking Congress in November, the disaster may come to pass. Thomas Peterffy, a refugee from communism who established Interactive Brokers, says the midterms, after a socialist victory, “could be devastating for the market.” Peterffy, born in Hungary, is the antidote to George Soros, also born in Hungary, except Peterffy opposes socialism and wants to save the system that made him a billionaire.  

Halloween - and it's time to vote. Keep an eye out for the voting dead, as they are a staple of the Democrat Party. At Happy Acres, the Dead vote in every election.  

NOTE TO ALL OUR READERS: Do you know anyone who might be interested in furthering the purposes of this publication, CONSERVATIVE TRUTH? 

I am interested in passing along this website and the mantle of Publisher to someone else - Lord willing! It will take the right person, and good circumstances, as I will not let this go casually or easily. I would love to see it be around for as long as necessary - until the whole world is filled with the TRUTH! 

I know that I will not be able to keep doing this forever. I would love to see this vision and effort continued as an expression for furthering the spreading of TRUTH to the people of our country and the world. So much has changed since Tom Barrett began this publication in the year 2000, around the infamous time of the “hanging chads” of the Bush-Gore election! I have been helping with the editing of this publication for ten years now, since December 2016, and have been the owner/publisher after Tom's passing in late 2021. 

I trust that God will help us find just the right person and situation for CONSERVATIVE TRUTH. I would love to see someone who has a burning fire in their heart, a love for God and Jesus, and a deep desire to know and love and share THE TRUTH with the world. Nothing too big! Yeah, right!!! 

Please give this some thought, and feel free to share this with anyone who might be interested, or get back to me with any ideas. There is no limit to what God can do with any person who loves God with their whole heart, totally given to His love and truth.
