Swiss Kinist on YouTube: Christians Must Stand For Truth in All Areas and at All Costs

I kicked off my YouTube channel with a short Intro Video. Tonight (this morning, to be technical) I have posted my first official video, that actually has a topic. Enjoy! Think of it as a short sermon, directed at Christians who care about the truth, but are deceived by the current generation's lies (passed down to them for a couple of generations now).

"Blessed are ye, when men shall hate you, and when they shall separate you from their company, and shall reproach you, and cast out your name as evil, for the Son of man's sake.

Rejoice ye in that day, and leap for joy: for, behold, your reward is great in heaven: for in the like manner did their fathers unto the prophets." -- Luke 6:22,23

Christians are, by nature, to be the truth bearers and those in society who speak against evil, defend the innocent, and hate falsehood. This isn't the case in America. American Christians have bought into many historical lies and have thus participated in slander, joining hand-in-hand with Marxist Christ-haters, who want to destroy Christianity, Western Culture, and the White Race.

When presented with the truth, we need to repent, and turn to Christ in repentance. We must ask our Father in heaven for the courage to stand against the lies perpetrated upon us for generations. We certainly will be hated for it. The true test of our Christianity though, is when we do not back down from the truth, even in the face of false accusation.

"Woe unto you, when all men shall speak well of you! for so did their fathers to the false prophets." --Luke 6:26

Upcoming YouTube Videos March and April 2016

The YouTube channel is finally off the ground for Swiss Kinist. In addition to the Introduction Video, there are two episodes recorded, but not yet edited, and a 3rd video that will be in the making soon:


1) My take on Donald Trump- This is a long recording and I need to edit it down quite a bit


2) How Christians in this generation, in America, are entirely compromised on truth; how Christians ought to be the key players behind standing for truth against Marxist lies.


This one will end up being approximately 30 minutes, and I still need to edit it. And although I recorded the Trump video first, I will likely post this video before the Trump one, particularly because it will not take as long to edit.


I am hoping to get my video #2 above posted to YouTube by the end of this week, which should be no problem. Then I will post what I had on Trump, probably 2 weeks after that. I hope to have a 2 week schedule, but if I am able to do more often, I will.


3) A video review of a kitchen product that we own. My goal is to review and promote American made, quality products. The more of us who buy American made, the better opportunity we have to make an impact on Americans losing our jobs to foreigners.


As stated previously, I want to give the Christian perspective on all areas of life, down to the last detail. God is not indifferent to even the smallest of choices that we make. All that we do, should be done for the glory of God. And we need to think and act beyond the surface, and look down the road, instead of to only our immediate needs and situations.

YouTube Channel Created

So to my 3 readers, I have started a YouTube channel that I hope will be a lot more balanced and frequent than my blog has been. It is just a whole lot easier to talk, than to write an article. My videos are going to mainly be off the cuff thoughts, similar to my Random Thoughts of Conviction. But there will be, God willing, other types of videos. The 2nd video I recorded, which is not yet posted, is a longer video, and concerns the Trump Phenomenon, and is based on the articles written by a Pastor in Michigan on at Iron Ink.


I also want to make my channel a Video Blog/Podcast. I plan to have guests, where we talk about current issues. Overall, as with this blog, my concern is not to attract as many people as possible, to be popular, to be liked, or any such thing. My goal and aim is to glorify Jesus Christ and represent him the best that I can, regardless of the consequences.

What Do You Have That You Did Not Receive?

" And these things, brethren, I have in a figure transferred to myself and to Apollos for your sakes; that ye might learn in us not to think of men above that which is written, that no one of you be puffed up for one against another.

For who maketh thee to differ from another? and what hast thou that thou didst not receive? now if thou didst receive it, why dost thou glory, as if thou hadst not received it?"

1Corinthians 4:6,7

Today marks about the one month mark of when I started my new job. I was promoted within the company I have worked with for 8 years, to a position making significantly more money than I used to, with further potential to earn much more throughout the coming years. 

This is an opportunity and a situation that I never thought I would be in. I hold only an Associate's Degree in Education and usually to get into the more advanced positions, you have to have a higher level of education... or not be a White Christian Man. 

I have seen many things throughout the years, in the company that I work for, the way God has worked in me, through me, and for me (for his glory). What I have is undeserved. I have observed the hand of God every step of the way. At the lowest points in my Christian life, Jesus Christ has always displayed his goodness to me. 

One thing I tell other believers anymore, is that I used to intellectually believe John 10:27-29 and the last half of Hebrews 13:5, but now I know them in a very intimate way. 

"And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish... "

And

"I will never leave thee nor forsake thee."

After what I have been through and what I have done, and what goodness God has displayed to me, I am totally blown away by those verses... because I have experienced them. God never stops pursuing those who are his own; those of his elect. No one can ever convince me the doctrine of election is not true. It is no longer simply head knowledge or doctrine to me.

Fast forward to today, after my first full month on the new job, making more money. It is difficult to grasp not having to watch every cent spent, not having to just get by, day after day, week after week, year after year. 

One thing I am blessed to have maintained is the attitude of unworthiness God has graced me to keep. I stepped out of my beat up, dented mini-van after work and, not so much in words, but in spirit and feeling, I realized the fact that I am no better than any man. Everything I have is a gift from God. Verses like this flood in: 

"Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning." -- James 1:17

I was semi-tempted in this area when I was driving home, which is why I believe the LORD brought these truths back to my attention. As I was turning on to my street (which is not in a very good neighborhood, though not ultra terrible), I saw a woman sitting outside on the porch (Yes! It was 58 degrees on my way home!). She was not in good health and was probably on several government health programs. Yet she was smoking a cigarette, and I thought to myself, "No wonder this woman is of so poor of condition. She makes very bad choices". Which, she probably does. But, Hans, "who maketh thee to differ from another"?

This is why, when I was first given a slight promotion to my former department (2 years ago), I taped a big piece of paper with these verses on it, on my desk:

"Lift not up your horn on high: speak not with a stiff neck.

For promotion cometh neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the south.

But God is the judge: he putteth down one, and setteth up another."

Psalm 75:5-7

When I received word that I had been promoted to my current job, I put up those same verses on my Skype for Work header.

This is why it is so horrendous to mock and jest about those foolish, wicked Negroes you come across, or whoever it might be. Do not allow yourself to feel that you are in some way greater than he. What causes us to differ between ourselves and them? God's grace and mercy; nothing more.

You might say, "But I make decisions to do the right thing!" Perhaps, but who is it that gives you the strength and the will to make the right decisions? Who has saved you from your own ways so many times, so that you would not become like that person you mock? There is nothing to boast about. Boast only in Christ and what he has done and continues to do.

My brethren, remember in every stage of life, in every detail of life, to always give God the glory through Jesus Christ, for all things. Because what is the difference between you and I, and that woman I drove past? The only difference is the grace of God; that God chose to bestow his favor upon us. It is no different than why God originally chose Israel. We are people of a stiffed neck. But by the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, he is making us into what we are called to be.

The Decline of Bob Evans and Regarding Chain Restaurants

We typically avoid chain restaurants because we would rather give our business to local business owners. We particularly hate corporations in that not only do they pay their workers a lousy wage, while the big executives at the top rake in all the money; but they also have a habit of trying to squash the competition, and to do whatever it takes to make money.

Whenever the goal of a business is primarily to make money, rather than to glorify God and serve people, there is no incentive for that business to operate on Biblical principles or to do the right thing. Making money should be the by-product of living in obedience to God.

"The blessing of the Lord, it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow with it." -- Proverbs 10:22

Anyhow, in receiving a better paying job in the current company I work for, and in my desire to build stronger relationships with both my wife and children, I am taking up the weekly date. One week me and my wife, the next week either myself or my wife with one of the children.

Last week I took my wife to Bob Evans, because, we couldn't figure out a good local place on the fly, and we hadn't been there for several years, and wanted to see if they were anything like they used to be. Unfortunately they were not. I did tell my 12 year old daughter I would take her there once to experience their Wildfire Chicken Salad once. We used to buy the Wildfire sauce and make the salad ourselves on a regular basis (before we started trying to make our own version of the sauce, which we could never get to taste the same-- but we dealt with it).

Here are the comments I wrote to Bob Evans after the two visits we recently had:


These comments are not regarding the restaurant itself, but concerning your franchise as a whole. We visited Bob Evans in Cuyahoga Falls recently, but also just today, the one in Stow, OH. What I thought was an individual restaurant problem is actually just an overall franchise problem.

The quality of your food and service, and the type of employees you hire, has gone way down hill. The last time we visited Bob Evans things were not this way (a few years ago).

Furthermore, we discovered you no longer sell your wildfire sauce. One worker whom I asked about it said at first that they problem just ran out of it, because "they go through it like crazy" with people buying it so much. Then she asked her manager about it, and he said you discontinued it because "we don't sell enough of it", LOL. It sounds more like that you didn't want people actually making the salad and other signature dishes at home with the sauce, instead of coming to the restaurant to buy it.

Bob Evans franchise is committing a slow suicide. It used to be more like Cracker Barrel, but now it is more like Denny's. It's like a sit down fast food restaurant.

I guess I shouldn't expect much more from a corporation. But in a way it is still disappointing. This just reinforces in my mind that we need to try to stick to the small, local restaurants. That and, do other kinds of activities for dates, which we plan to do.

Do you have a regularly scheduled date with your wife and children? Focus on the Family has something I ran into recently called Date Night Challenge. Though their ministry is extremely compromised, they do have some great ideas from time to time, and this one is no exception. And they are dead right in their belief of how important it is.

Being a Godly Christian Friend Only in Tragedies

Random Thought of Conviction 

Off the cuff posts are beginning to be the only posts that I write. I love when the LORD illuminates an idea to my mind, or my wife's mind, and it can be quickly put down into a blog post. This post was not written immediately after the fact; it came to us last night. But I believe it is fresh enough on my mind to elaborate on right now.

Think of this scenario. It happens all the time. There is an individual or a family (for the sake of the article, we will give the generic name to this individual or family, "Unloved Christian"), and they have a few acquaintances (I am using that word for a very specific purpose). They do not have a friend, though they refer to their acquaintances as "friends" because that is the common lingo.

Unloved Christian does not have much interaction with his 'friends". His friends are not much interested in getting to know him intimately. They just don't have time to get together often. There is not daily encouragement; we Americans have too busy of lives to follow Hebrews 3:13.

Friends Are There For You in Time of Need

One day, a tragedy strikes. Unloved Christian finds he has a disease. Or maybe his house caught on fire and he lost everything. Or maybe an immediate family member dies. Whatever the scenario, it is a terrible one. All of a sudden, those "friends" who were too busy to get involved in Unloved Christian's life, they all come rushing in like a flood to help. They send gifts, they send cards, they send food, they call and offer encouragement. They are there for you like a real friend, any time of the day or night.

What is wrong with this picture, you ask? Nothing. Not a thing. Actually, this is exactly the way a Christian community should respond. So why am I critical of it? Because the friendship extended to Unloved Christian is only and solely when tragedy strikes. When the crisis has passed, these "friends" slowly disappear back into the woodwork to live their own lives. When Unloved Christian needed a daily encourager, there was no one there. When he needed a true friend to lift his spirits, and worship and fellowship with him on a consistent basis, everyone was too busy.

The situation I describe here is why I refer to such relationships as being "acquaintances". It is not much different than a business relationship. The guys you see at work but not away from work are not friends. You just see them Monday through Friday while you work. The same goes with the folks you go to church with. Only you see them on Sunday and Wednesday at the most. Or maybe once every 2 months you go have supper at their house or vice versa. That is not friendship. That is not community.


Doug Tanner: Friends

The Root Problem

I have come to a conclusion in my mind that this is done on purpose. I do not think it is maliciously planned when I say that. But on the subconscious level, people just do not consider daily fellowship a priority. The book of Acts describes the early church in this manner:

"And they, continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, did eat their meat with gladness and singleness of heart,

Praising God, and having favour with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved." -- Acts 2:46,47

If we really took the scriptures serious, and wanted to obey Hebrews 13:3, we would find a way to stay connected... connected on a consistent basis. And we would build true friendships, the way they used to be in the old days. I know that we all don't live close to one another and have the physical communities we used to have (and I realize that is what we truly need). But we have so much technology where we can at least overcome this to a certain degree.

Those of us who attended either public or private school can attest to the fact that we all had a childhood best friend. Do you remember how close you were to your best friend when you were in your school days? Why is that so difficult to come by today? It shouldn't be. The only difference is, families should have that kind of closeness with other families.

A true friendship will be demonstrated in a way that either side can say anything to one another bluntly, and the other party will not get offended and break off contact with you. This is what our family longs for; but it seems not many are willing to go this route and sacrifice for the sake of others, and ultimately for the sake of Christ. The Church of Jesus Christ is in a very sad state, indeed. Let us do what we can to reverse this trend, and thereby glorify Christ on a daily basis. Your Christian brothers and sisters need you a lot more than you realize, on a daily basis. And they need  you in "regular" times more than they need you in times of tragedy.

Issue Oriented Christianity

There are multiple root plagues that have destroyed and continue to destroy the work of the Holy Spirit in America. I have spoken about a few on this blog already. Today I am going to address a doctrine of devils that appears to know no bounds; whether "conservative" or "liberal", professing Christians and genuine Christians alike have fallen into this destructive trap.

The plague can be summed up and communicated best by giving sample phrases you will hear Christians of all persuasions speak. It goes something like this:

"I don't get wrapped up in all these issues. I just love Jesus."

or

"I don't want to be known for all the things I do or don't do-- I just want to be known as someone who loves Jesus."

or

"I don't want to follow a bunch of rules. I want to know God"


While such statements sound holy and pious, and commendable, what is behind these sayings is different altogether. How these practically play out does not produce the fruit of the Spirit, but rather the works of the flesh. So you hear these type of statements from two camps:

1) Christians who are already living to please the flesh and are not denying self-- whether they are genuinely converted or not.

2) Sincere and devoted Christians who are honestly deceived by the Christian doctrinal culture in America.

I personally know people in both categories. The sad thing is, in my observation, that even among good, home schooling Christian families that hold solid views of patriarchy, modesty, and separation from the world... these families are losing their children due to this Satanic scheme.

I first heard the term "Issue Oriented Christianity" from a false prophet from India named Zac Poonen (he is a preacher of lawlessness). He was influential to the small local fellowship my family attended in the early 2000s and came to visit America to preach in conferences. He still is welcomed in certain Anabaptist circles, however, some churches have recognized his message of "don't judge" is destructive to the holiness of the church and have recanted on allowing him to speak at their churches.

So if we make a big deal about certain areas of holiness, in order to obey the word of God, we are "issue oriented" and Pharisees, Judgmental, and "Accusers of the Brethren" (according to Poonen). Because after all, the only thing that matters is love, right?

We used to attend a home church a few years ago, and most of the families held this corrupt philosophy. Everything was going okay until their children started getting married and starting families. Then their worldview began to bear corrupt fruit.

One home schooled son in particular, of a family in the church, (the father of this family was the leader of the house church, though he emphatically rejected the doctrine of authority and leadership); this eldest son of his father has now entirely rejected God's patriarchal structure for the family and society. And his young family has also adopted the world's philosophy regarding birth control and family size.

This is not uncommon either; this son and also a brother of his, raised in the same home and philosophy, emphatically state that "home schooling is not for everyone" and that it might be okay to send your children to Marxist Indoctrination Centers (otherwise known as Public Schools).

Why do these children, although their parents held to firm convictions on these very issues... why do their children adopt the exact opposite worldview as their parents? Why? It is because of this doctrine of devils that "issues don't matter" and "don't judge anyone". I have seen it far too many times to deny the obvious connection between this worldview and the fruit that comes from it. We can only imagine what this younger generation's children will turn out like. But it is not difficult to predict.


 How does Jesus define, Biblically, the evidence that we know God, and love him?


John 14:

²¹He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.
²² Judas saith unto him, not Iscariot, Lord, how is it that thou wilt manifest thyself unto us, and not unto the world?
²³ Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.
²⁴ He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings: and the word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father's which sent me.

 Is "not being known for issues" Biblical? Certainly not. In fact, Covenant Israel was to be known for her obedience to "issues". I know this is a long passage, but read it very carefully and you will see. May the LORD open your eyes:

And what else does the scripture teach on this subject?

Deuteronomy 4

⁴But ye that did cleave unto the Lord your God are alive every one of you this day.
⁵ Behold, I have taught you statutes and judgments, even as the Lord my God commanded me, that ye should do so in the land whither ye go to possess it.
⁶ Keep therefore and do them; for this is your wisdom and your understanding in the sight of the nations, which shall hear all these statutes, and say, Surely this great nation is a wise and understanding people.
⁷ For what nation is there so great, who hath God so nigh unto them, as the Lord our God is in all things that we call upon him for?
⁸ And what nation is there so great, that hath statutes and judgments so righteous as all this law, which I set before you this day?
⁹ Only take heed to thyself, and keep thy soul diligently, lest thou forget the things which thine eyes have seen, and lest they depart from thy heart all the days of thy life: but teach them thy sons, and thy sons' sons;

 I want to point out, your honor, that this is the exact opposite of what "Bible Believing" Christians of today are teaching. This passage clearly states that God's people would be known for their obedience to God's commandments; implied is that they would, on an outward basis, look, talk, and behave differently than the heathen around them; in every way, shape and form. Christians of today want to deny this and say that Christians should be known only for their "love" as they promote a definition of love that is defined by the world and not by God in scripture. But the only kind of true love is the love that keeps God's commandments. Astonishingly even those who claim to have a high view of the law and follow Rushdoony, falter in this area.

Yes, my friends, outward obedience is important. Depart from the counsel of the wicked (Psalm 1) and embrace the type of faith in Christ that your fathers possessed. A faith that was not afraid to address specific issues of their day in a very specific manner. To do contrary is not only to go against church history, but against the Holy Scriptures, and God himself.
