EVENTS OF 2007

A Glimpse into the New Year—2008

 

THE NEW YEAR IS UPON US!   Yet, some of us catch a glimpse of attitudes regarding the threshold of the unknown:

 

From the very vociferous critic:  Who cares what happens?  As a matter of fact I even hope every conservative candidate ends in defeat and Christians fall prey to great restrictions and persecution in our nation.

 

Indeed, I am tired of fighting a hopeless battle.  Let the liberals have all they want so that God’s wrath will be unleashed with devastating and lethal consequences against those hoards of demon-possessed wimps!  Let everyone of them get what he deserves.  It will be heaven to me to see the children of darkness swallowed up in torment for their heinous atrocities against humanity.

 

This attitude surrenders to evil rather than using what God has given us to fight darkness.  Sure, we may well lose the battle, but we will definitely be held accountable with respect to our failure to use every opportunity God gives to thwart and rebuke evil within our nation.  If we lived in a country without opportunities to vote, to speak freely, to fight with truth for truth, we would not be required to use what we do not have.

 

We concede, of course, that many of our liberties have been weakened by the termites of rebellion within our legislative and judicial system in the onslaught at the very foundation of our government, but to sell out to traitors does not commend us to our Creator Who has given us and continues to give us opportunities to act in opposing the enemies of our liberties. 

 

We are to pray for those in authority (I Timothy 2:1-2).  And we must be submissive to the powers that exist, for they are ordained (established) by God for our own order and security (Romans 13:1-7).  While we understand from history of nations and peoples that many governments fail to measure up to God’s ordination, history also teaches us that God exercises His jurisdiction to cast those governments which fail His ordained purpose upon the garbage heap of history sooner or later.  And if our government here in America fails God’s purpose, we would be foolhardy and arrogant to surmise our government to be the one exception! 

 

To the other extreme:  Who can throw the first stone?  Every one of us must admit that none of us has a claim on perfection.  We’re all growing, each with different perspectives on life and values.  We must willingly turn the other cheek and take criticism without losing our cool.  After all, love covers a multitude of sins.

 

The second approach admittedly embraces elements of truth.  It cannot be forcibly demonstrated that anyone of us has arrived at a plateau invulnerable to legitimate criticism.  Yet, no one must be absolutely perfect to be able to discern certain wrong or weakness in others.  The fact that we can never reach absolute perfection in this world does not disqualify us from reaching perspectives to lodge certain criticism of others in an effort to enlighten them.  While these persons may be blind to some of the defects we see, we may be able through an expression of love and concern to bring them into the light.  But we must also be prepared to oppose those who defy all enlightenment and express utter contempt for the truth we seek to promote. 

 

Hence, we must understand that we need to turn the other cheek, not to endorse the wrong, but to show love for the wrong doer, not to compromise our convictions, but to reach out to our enemies in an effort to rescue them.  In this manner, we offer to sacrifice ourselves to keep others from destroying themselves along with people drawn into their whirlpool of evil.

 

In the midst of great darkness, deception and contempt for the truth many politicians and reckless citizens demonstrate freely against Christianity and family values; yet, we need to rise above the two extremes herein noted.  We must find our battleground on a much higher level of character and purpose, willing to sacrifice much, even to the risk of life or limb, to protect what God has given us.  Yet, we must not take God’s place and resort to vengeance.  We must be moved to action by God, but never to usurp the place and role of God!

Christmas Season

 

CHRISTMAS SEASON 2007 has arrived—not the holiday season, not winter festival season, nor anything less than the Birth of Jesus Celebration!  See Christmas.

 

SO such terms recognizing the reason for the season offend some—a small minority, nonetheless.  Does anyone wish to understand how we are offended by their resentment?  These offended persons insist on their own versions of speech and rights, some that do not meet with our approval; yet, we fight for their rights for them to express themselves, even when we can never agree with such expressions.  These offended want us to give up our rights, but demand their own rights to do as they choose.  Should they have it both ways? 

 

We understand that we raise questions that will never be addressed at all, much less that will ever be answered!

Hello, Anybody Home?

 

Indeed, when knocking at the door of California, we may be amazed at the absence of most people with sound, American-values intelligence!  Yes, that’s unfortunately the case.  We can find people everywhere within the political quagmire slimy with anti-American, anti-Christian, anti-family values and downright treasonous toward the open society reflected through free speech, freedom of thought with diverse ideas and freedom of action and expression.

Moreover, what about the conspicuous absence of discernment, discretion, differentiation—does anyone in the political arena within the fallen State of California salvage any semblance of intelligence whatsoever, of the least suggestion of civil decency and respect for humanity? 

 

First, the State does not even seek to hide its atrocious agenda, dictating a state religion of sorts which boasts of tolerance, just as long as all its citizens pay homage to that politically mandated state religion, but exercises gross and inhuman intolerance for any ideology, religious expressions, and individual departures from the mighty mind censoring machine captivating the whole state.  Some of us wonder what minute differences exist between the totalitarian dictatorial posture of that state’s government and the mindset of terrorists’ regimes in Syria or Iran, for instance.

 

This ultra slime has been generously imbedded into public education with mandated eradication of such words as husband, wife or any family related terms that might divert in the slightest fashion from the state religion which demands every knee to bow and every tongue confess the new tolerance with reverence and total worship. 

 

It makes absolutely no difference what parents think.  After all, under this new dictatorship, the state takes custody of the children during school hours and helpless and suffering parents can be trashed!  Every child within the public school system must be brain washed, irrespective of how teachers may feel about this Gestapo measure to destroy Christian and family values.

 

Even bathrooms must no longer be segregated along the line of sex distinctions, demanding males and females use the same facilities.  Don’t tell us that California’s state government regime doesn’t know well what its goal is?  Indeed, destroy Christianity absolutely and completely to the very roots!!!

 

Second, as the State of California gains more and more influence to exercise its evil empire, would anyone with intelligence (or even common sense, for that matter) fail to see a much broader target?  They would revel in successful exportation of their lethal poison to the whole nation.  The original America cherished its Judeo/Christian heritage and the religious liberty gained through the real United States of America in its establishment to counter the lack of freedom to worship as each one saw fit while in the Old World.   Indeed, everyone rejoiced because of the freedom gained in the New World.

 

Are we ready to lay down our arms and surrender our freedoms because of a boisterous State gone on a rampage in its contempt for the kind of America with decency and moral and spiritual values many of us grew up in?  We certainly hope not.  Let us continue to pray and work diligently to turn the tide.

Christian Persecution is not coming to our nation

 

Persecution is not coming to the United States of America.  Before any of us sighs with relief, the shocking truth comes to us through the fact that it’s not coming because it’s unfortunately already here!!!!  And it’s here in a big way.  Christianity and Christians have become the target for execution of atrocious restrictions.  These acts have already occurred and continue unabated! 

 

Yes, we all already know about the mindless and blatant torture and murder of the unborn (called abortion), the promotion of same-sex marriages, etc., but now every effort has been undertaken to silence the Christians of our country. 

 

In recent times military chaplains have been suppressed through censorship from praying in the name of Jesus in a public meeting.  The audacity to suggest that certain others present may be offended.  What about the offense to the chaplains and Christians themselves?  Why should it be ok to offend Christians, but never correct to give freedom of expression for Christians to speak their convictions in public? From the official disposition Christians must be muzzled from reflecting who they are.  Those who are offended at who Christians are must be reminded that each person has a right to be who he is in public as well as elsewhere.  Muslims, atheists, fascists—each has a right to express himself/herself, even though we may be offended at the specific beliefs.  It’s a blatant discrimination against Christians to say in effect that they have no right to be themselves in public.

Our Military Chaplains Encounter Censorship

 

With absolute contempt for Constitutional rights, the military has in certain locations and situations embarked on politically correct restrictions against chaplains’ expressions of their convictions as they seek to serve in the armed forces.  While it has been historically true that our nation was indeed founded upon religious liberty, such liberty now must be abolished such that chaplains must renounce their allegiance to their God and succumb to the gods of the military.

 

Strong outcries echo from many sectors of our society encouraging President Bush to issue an executive order protecting the chaplains from censorship.  Perhaps we could do no better than to support fully and encourage the President to heed the cries of concerned Americans.  We do want the President to know we stand squarely behind him and support such a move wholeheartedly.  We offer our prayers toward that end.

The Mind Police Are Watching!

 

Censorship has created a dangerous trend within our waning democracy!  More and more do public facilities, including legislative meetings throughout our nation, suffer grievous censorship when in Jesus’ name is uttered in prayers.  A recent report from Ohio exposes the requirement that future prayers be written out and submitted three days in advance so that they can be closely scrutinized and censored before approving for use. 

 

Where in the Constitution are governments given the right to establish a state prayer to be approved and used?  What about the free exercise of religion supposedly granted by our Constitution?  Or does the Constitution mean anything anymore? 

 

We must be entering an era wherein a person has no right to think and act upon his own beliefs and convictions!!!

Serious Questions

 

Some questions can be quite trivial, but questions related to the terrorists’ blatant, brazen, defiant, crass, savage and unconscionable acts, as in the dastardly abduction of a sixteen year old girl and an eleven year old girl and literally to force conversion to Islam, and then adding salt to the wound by forcing the girls to marry (what a slimy, filthy use of a word which generally has decent connotations!!!) Islamic trash, can only raise questions bathed in total indignation, at the very best. 

 

Excuse us if the Islamic trash description offends those wimps who view such acts as a mere reaction of people of a different religious orientation who should be respected and excused for their violent acts against humanity.  We consider these radicals as inhumane whether of the Islamic faith or acting under the name of Christianity, or any other religious group, for that matter.

 

However, such criticism has become popular simply because Christianity dictates a stand, a line in the sand, where we refuse to surrender and compromise decency and humanity to the forces of evil!!!  Put that in your pipes and smoke it, if you please.

 

Follow up on Serious Questions (August 24, 2007):  Some people tend to feel that the name-calling and highly critical nature from the reporting of events on August 23, 2007 reflect a character quite contrary to a calm, collected and reasonable Christian disposition.  Yet, we judge that a person in a crowded building crying fire finds reasonable justification in the presence of real fire posing a definite threat.  It just might be helpful for our concerned friends to check how we show the necessity to expose as in the case of our dealing with ruthless judges!

 

Certainly, our outrage does not focus on the humanity of the ones who have become so captivated as to represent the deceptive forces of all darkness, but rather upon that darkness that embodies a determination to destroy all that is sacred, decent, valid and beneficial, including the sad estate of all who identify with those forces of darkness to the degree as to lose all human qualities altogether.  It’s as cancer does to the patient to the degree that the patient loses his own control, his ability to think and decide in matters crucial to his own well being.   The cancer may be despised freely without despising the patient who is the victim.  Thus, the same may be done with absolute justification concerning those Islamic terrorists who lose their humanity to the complete control and devises of satanic darkness.

 

While we do most certainly reserve the right to cry out, we do at the same time feel a deep sorrow that Satan can captivate any person created in God’s image.  However, while we do cry out with absolute reason against such dastardly acts, we constantly desire to hold such deceived creatures of God up in prayer that, if possible, these poor souls may be delivered from that pit of total deception!

 Independence Day—July 4

 

This INDEPENDENCE DAY for this year certainly gives us reason to pause.  Our independence has never before been in such ominous jeopardy.  Through hostile, political and judicial efforts, certain dangerous movements hold the Christian and moral foundation of our nation in utter contempt.  While most of us may certainly acknowledge the trend toward divesting all Christian expressions from our society, some of us may not be convinced that these movements pose an immediate threat.  However, the subtlety and underhanded dealings, often behind closed doors, make the secretive nature of scheming and devious manipulations ominous and comprehensive. 

 

If concealed behind closed doors, how can we deduce such to be in process?  Simple:  Two distinct avenues reveal the likelihood that such conspiracies are in progress.  First, past experiences, as with the House of Representatives and their unrelenting efforts to smuggle certain inclusive and/or exclusive rhetoric into bills that would smother Christian, moral or family values from finding expression within our nation call strong attention to the tireless efforts by the very radical liberal elements to wreak havoc upon Christian and family values.  Second, those who hate authentic American values do not easily roll over and play dead, but constantly search for undetected ways to achieve their ends. 

 

Thus, we are called upon to pray that God will deliver us from the jaws of hell and allow the enemies of God to fall into their own pits.  Let us pray that God will bring us statesmen with backbone and dedication enough to refuse compromise and fear not to trouble the waters such that our nation will be brought back to the America which was founded upon Christian, moral and family values!

Memorial Day

 

MEMORIAL DAY continues to arouse a spirit of deep reverence and pride for those who suffered and died for our country to preserve the patriotic spirit of our forefathers and the Christian and family values espoused by them.

 

Yet, we find an elite minority who seek to break those ties and destroy all moral and spiritual values within our nation, a group who spit out contempt for any Christian and family values, who seek to unleash every underhanded, scheming, devious and destructive assault against the authentic and legitimate nation we have come proudly to protect.

 

Pray that every true American may awaken to this covert attempt to destroy all that the genuine America has always stood for.  And pray for our enemies, that they somehow may come to their senses to see the evil they relentlessly promote.  God can change the tide if we acknowledge Him and give Him our allegiance as a people who seek His face in the dark days of our history.

The Fascist Liberals Continue Their Assault on America

 

Every day in Congress, new slime takes form in unprecedented bills to silence the voices of truth.  Really, do they think that the removal of free speech from the Christians will eradicate the truth and the reality reflected through that truth? 

 

Well, here’s something for these elitist minority to chew on:  The world crucified Christ and continues to assault Him during every age, but He remains alive and well!  God remains in control, even though the forces of darkness seek every way to make atheism the default religion of our government. 

 

Think of this:  Should atheism become the official religion of our government, Christianity will be the target for total obliteration by these aggressive bigots who work tirelessly to remove the last vestige of opposing cries against their tyrannical efforts to wield total control over every citizen’s life and actions in America. 

 

But let every Christian be reminded that while governments rule, God overrules.  Should Christianity be forced underground, God remains the Christian’s strength, courage and security, even in the face of certain death.  Indeed, Christianity has throughout history survived the greatest of persecutions.  Often persecution becomes the thrust to cause Christianity to grow and even flourish.  Nevertheless, let us all pray for a peaceful recovery of our free exercises within our nation that we may seize the opportunities to be transforming salt and light to swing the pendulum back toward a Christian nation, the nation our forefathers founded.  See A Prayer of Reflection.

The Furnace of Capara

 

All the cynicism, bigotry and belligerence unleashed against conservatism (and especially against Christianity and democracy) within the current Congress targets (with an unparalleled vengeance) religious liberty and free speech as well as rights to life for every human being!  This disposition and action among influential Congress persons demonstrate vividly the very epitome of capara.  Will the enemies of our Constitution ever concede to allow a voice from the people to be raised in protest any more?  Unfortunately, those who hate our heritage, our Constitution and everyone who fails to bow down in worship of the elite minority who seeks to establish a totalitarian regime will stop short of nothing to destroy our democracy completely!

 

Of course, this does not even remotely imply that every Congress person succumbs to this hateful exhibit of explosive efforts to destroy all that is dear to freedom-loving people, and we would be remiss to fail to express our gratitude to those Congress persons who dare buck the tide.  However, many dear Americans ponder the question just what drives these elitists to replace our democracy with total control by the elitists themselves? 

 

May we suggest you consider some elements presented in Informative Interview?

Tragedy at Virginia Tech

 

Let us grieve, embrace the victims, express our disdain over the senseless eruption of violence on the campus of Virginia Tech, but, at the same time, let us understand this demonic act to reflect a direct and/or indirect consequence of moral, ethical and spiritual destitution sweeping many educational institutions, promoted under the guise of tolerance for any and every philosophical and religious expression with generally one exception, that of Christianity.  Relativism displaces accountability and responsibility growing from moral and spiritual respect and decency inherent within the domain of absolute truth.  Thus, we are reaping what we sow (Galatians 6:7). 

 

Therefore, to address this out-of-control crisis, we must return to a more responsible and vital commitment to the role of reality (absolute truth) within our educational institutions.  Tolerance must be understood in terms of allowing choices and freedom of expression rather than embracing every belief as subjective truth and thus destroying the compass that provides an external reference to reality!  Authentic Christianity traditionally embraces this understanding of tolerance.  Everyone must be given the right to bring to the table every thought and idea for dialogue, but discussions must be guided and decisions forthcoming from an overriding umbrella of criteria grounded in reality—that of absolute truth.  

 

Apparently, a loner on the campus of Virginia Tech reacted violently under his own narcissistic ego bathed in his own subjective world operative within the concept of subjective truth.  He held no external references to a reality which lay beyond himself, a disposition fostered and encouraged generally by the renunciation of absolute truth by many higher institutions of learning.  Thus again, we reap what we sow and that has no exclusion for societies.

 

The words of John Newton from a hymn entitled Glorious Things of Thee Are Spoken contrasts the disposition of the world with that of children of Zion:  Fading is the worldling’s pleasure, all his boasted pomp and show; solid joys and lasting treasure, none but Zion’s children know.”

A Welcome Glimmer of Light in the Chaotic Political Landscape

 

We thank the Supreme Court of the United States for a long overdue decision pointing our nation back a bit toward civilization in upholding the ban on partial-birth abortion!!!

Tantamount to a Coup d'état!

 

Let us face the facts.  Technically speaking, Congress has not crossed the line on a strictly mechanical definition and supplanted our United States Constitution with an open and declared overthrow of our form of government, but their movements in defiance has in spirit set a course that will achieve the effects of making our United States Constitution almost totally irrelevant.  As for example, Christian suppression (through so-called grass roots reform, the fairness doctrine bill and hate-crime legislation underway within the House of Representatives) does not stop short of the effects of a coup d'état, for should these measures in proposed bills succeed, the Constitution of the United States of America will be reduced to less than the value of the paper on which it is printed.

 

Moreover, by gearing to control both the legislative and executive branches of government, Congress clearly violates the Constitution of the United States by obliterating separation of powers.  This Congress acts with total contempt of law and order, sneering at constitutional authority and value.  Why not?  The Nietzsche/Machiavelli philosophy tends to become the governing basis for the liberal decisions.  Power makes right and survival of the fittest become the uncompromising mindset of this new liberal Congress.  Within this scope, the elite minority must dictate all courses of action such that all of us peons must be told exactly what to think and what to do.

Greetings to a Breath of Fresh Air

 

Let us without so much as a blink of an eye express unwavering praise and gratitude to someone with fortitude to stand, having drawn a line in the sand without apology and declaring homosexuality to be immoral.  U.S. Marine General Peter Pace deserves all the acclaim any person can receive for his pro-American posture within the tradition of true Americanism fostered by our founding fathers.  Furthermore, the unfortunate bellowing of the portals of hell from politically motivated bigots tended to squelch the heart of the General a bit such that he felt a need to indicate that he had expressed his own personal conviction.  BUT from the masses of Americans, he need not retreat one trillionth of an inch in his noble proclamation. 

 

Of course, most of us recognize that beliefs cannot be legally regulated (and should not be subject to regulations for homosexuals, as well as for anyone else).  Consequently, the same holds true for Christian beliefs as well.  Hence, U.S. Marine General Peter Pace should never be censured, even as an official of the United States Government, since homosexuality reflects departure from the traditional America founded by our forefathers and continues to have a broad-based rejection among our nation’s population.

 

Yet, the elitist minority's liberal segment continues to seek power to suppress freedom of expression for the majority!

OUR AGENDA IS SECURE—Don’t Bother
