REALLY BAD IDEAS
One of the best ways to ensure a better new year is to recognize and rid oneself of really bad ideas that stymie success. It is imperative to do all we can to keep really bad ideas out of our life, our family, and our nation.
Really Bad Idea—Importing Muslims and Islam/Islamic adherents into the country is the worst idea since legalizing abortion/baby killing. It’s that destructive. As Christians we must stand against it. If you doubt this for a second, then open your eyes, educate yourself on what’s happened to England, Ireland, and France. We do not allow avowed Communist party members to immigrate to this country. We must not allow individuals to immigrate whose defining ideology and beliefs are subversively, diametrically opposed to the righteous, Judeo-Christian values and laws that made our nation great. To do so is national suicide.
Really Bad Idea—Giving kids a smartphone is like handing them a daily dose of drugs. They will become addicted. All the research proves it beyond a doubt.
Really Bad Idea—Letting people use tax dollars/welfare benefits to buy pop, candy, and junk food, making them fat and unhealthy, which in turn costs more of our tax dollars to fix their rotting teeth and inevitable medical problems! What sheer stupidity!
Really Bad Idea—Spending any of your hard-earned money on eating out, Starbucks coffee, entertainment, vacations, and newer stuff, when you have no 3-6 month emergency savings of your own, and no regular investing for your future.
Really Bad Idea—Giving fools and idiots a conduit and megaphone into your life via Facebook, X, TikTok, and any other way that enables them to spew and communicate their stupidity, folly, and nauseating garbage, propaganda, and lies.
Really Bad Idea—Electing another Democrat, leftist, socialist, Marxist, jew hating, Christian hating, baby killing, terrorist defending, criminal enabling, traitorous, incompetent politician to any office, for anything, anytime, anywhere, ever again!
Really Bad Idea—Letting another year go by without embracing and implementing a consistent exercise program.
Really Bad Idea—Continuing to make excuses as to why you don’t pray, read your Bible, and seek the Lord every single day of your life. Neglect God and you’ll pay a terrible price.
Really Bad Idea—Failing to consistently practice what you know to be wise and true.
Really Bad Idea—Taking your spouse for granted and putting your marriage on auto-pilot! There is no “self-driving” marriage. It must be faithfully maintained with daily rigor, investment, kind actions, and verbal encouragement.
Really Bad Idea—Letting another year go by that you do not faithfully pray with your wife every single day.
Really Bad Idea—Failing to carefully consider the real consequences of your actions and decisions.
Really Bad Idea—Continuing bad habits that you know are destructive for your physical, emotional, or mental health.
Really Bad Idea—Trying to change situations and relationships that are truly out of your control.
Really Bad Idea—Last but not least—Neglecting to faithfully read and apply the wisdom of your weekly Thoughts Provoking articles!
