It’s “wisdom” learning that how we spend our time is one of the most important aspects of our lives. When you realize that all of our days are numbered and sharing your talents and time with others is about the best thing in life we can do. Wasting your days and being lazy will one day be looked down on.

I know that you both probably realize what you do in giving your days, flying all the way to Italy, to share your knowledge, to expose and teach about the dangers these charlatans have and are pushing on the world is pure generosity on your part, from the bottom of my heart thank you! Good stewardship of your talents is sharing everything God has given us. Talents should be displayed and used to not only benefit you but to benefit others as well. We should realize the talents that we have been given along with the time we have are gifts and are meant to build much more than just our own life. When we are generous with our time we will be blessed with much more than what we get in this life. We should always understand we are helping to build our world, yes, but we are also building a kingdom.
I can’t remember how I found Dr. Malone’s Substack some time ago, but it has been a blessing from day one, and yes, I’m grateful too for him and Jill sharing their talents “for a time like this.”
Jesus’ parable of the talents, Matthew 24: 14-30, encourages diligence in using the talents God has given us, and it discourages slothfulness with the talents he gives us—and the amount of talents dispersed is based on each person’s abilities—so He expects each of us to use the abilities we have, no matter how big or small they may be.
It’s also a parable of accountability, which DOGE can be an example of its application, if you will, and in a smaller way. The agencies and employees who are not multiplying the “business” they have been given, are being cut and dismantled. They were not diligent in their tasks to SERVE “We the People” through the government agencies they worked in. They “hid” their talent and became worthless employees and agencies, and instead of being productive, they became destructive to the “business” they were given to perform, and now they have been DOGED—they never thought that the day of accountability would come, but it indeed has come—they fooled only themselves.
Jesus’ parable is summarized by John MacArthur as “We will have to answer for what we did with the time and resources He gave us.” We will be rewarded or condemned based on how we as believers and followers of Christ do with the talents He gives us to “occupy” till I return—occupy means work or do my business. As with DOGE, the day of accountability came, as believers in Christ, there will be a day of accountability, and that day will not be met by resistance, as we’re seeing with the rebellion within our government agencies.
Paraphrasing what you said in one of your many comments of wisdom, which encouraged me, is that whatever you have, no matter how big or small you think you are, use what you have in this fight we are in. I cannot express what that did for me, and how it has prompted me to recalibrate what I can do for God and my nation.
Thanks CQL, I was going to add that very parable to my post but sometimes I like to have people see the common sense the scriptures are without mentioning them. I know that may sound off a bit. Most people like yourself are far more in tune with them than I already. But I’m also trying to keep my comments short as well 😊😊😊, I’ve been getting complaints in my suggestion box😁. Thanks for all you do for me!!! Happy Sunday CQL!!
Our laws as a nation, and our Republic form of government, is based upon Scripture. Many laws are explicitly drawn from Scripture, and others are implied, but their source is undeniable to those who desire to know and acknowledge Truth.
At work, based upon who I am speaking with, I use Scriptural principles explicitly or implicitly. Either way, God’s Word is being proclaimed, and most if not all see the principles as common sense. It’s like the concept of Common Law, which the SCOTUS recognizes and uses for many of its decisions—they are laws, not necessarily written down, but are commonly accepted by society at large. So your common sense use of Scripture is spot on—another thought is this. Jesus used parables as physical examples of spiritual principles, which was understood by the common person—if he had ears to hear, and eyes to see. 🙂
As far as the length of your posts, I’d rather sit down and eat a full course meal that will take longer but fulfill me dietary needs, than eat a nibble of food that keeps me needing more nourishment throughout the day. I was raised on in-depth sermons that fed my soul, and was upset when it had to be carried over to the next week. It has to do with desire—desire to hear and live out God’s Word in our lives, which takes time and effort to accomplish. 🤗

Now that was a long post. 🤣
Great post!
Well said, sir.
