2008-Year for
decision!.
This is
the time for action. The events of this year can make
the difference between life and death.
Pray for our
nation. Participate in your voting opportunities.
Look to the future with an understanding that you can
make a real difference.
None of
us wish to see the horrible plight this picture of the
tank brings to mind. Many countries have resorted to
this kind of force to suppress free expression and totally
enslave masses of innocent people, even massacring
women and children to extinguish every trace of free
expression.
Could
such happen in our own country? Of
course, it could! We have seen movements in that very
direction. Some of our very own high courts'
judicial decisions
have at times actively pursued a course to
banish our own Constitution! Many of us have fought hard
to petition Congress against passing bills that would restrict
religious liberty and we have struggled against
the legislative efforts to afford abortions freely
at all stages of pregnancy and we have voiced our
opposition to muffle the right to protest,
etc.
Yes,
2008 promises to continue the battle field, except in an ever
intensified struggle. We urge all of you to stand up and
be counted this election year. It just may very well be
possible to initiate recovery from the important ground we
have already lost and secure our nation for our children's
future.

A
Politician Speaks With Contempt!
Absolutely,
a current
candidate for office exploded with denigrating fury with
respect to any biblical reference in legislation!
He proceeded to show certain
disgusting elements within the Scriptures, among which were
inconsistencies and even contradictions, such as the order to stone women
and children in the Old Testament (Joshua 7:24; also
compare Dueteronomy 3:6 wherein the children of Israel were
commanded to slay even women and children with the sword) to
the extreme demands of
the Sermon on the Mount in the New Testament. This politician
sneered in words to this effect: Which of these opposing
notions should congressional legislators consider in promoting
legislation?
No doubt, this politician expressed the
sentiments of many who see the Scriptures as glorified fairy
tales, embellishing religious arrogance and intransient
snobbishness among ministers and Christianity as a whole.
Granted, Christianity by virtue of its unique
claims produces its counterfeit echoes in much the same
fashion that authentic money gives rise to
counterfeiting.
As those with criminal dispositions seek to take
shortcuts to gain wealth by means of counterfeiting, those who
seek to bypass authentic Christian demands reflect a grossly
distorted picture of Christianity, an actual counterfeit reproduction
of the Christian faith!
The question then we should consider: Does the counterfeit
undermine the credibility of the
authentic?
If that were true, authentic currency could not
be used with any degree of trust. Quite the contrary,
the authentic currency becomes a means to discredit the
fake. The
government does not spend a good deal of time studying the
counterfeit but determining every aspect and detail of the
genuine currency.
That confidence regarding authenticity becomes a basis
to reveal the flaws within the counterfeit!
Likewise, genuine Christianity must provide the
evidence to discredit the many flaws within the fakes.
For it to be genuine, Christianity must be
founded upon the source of it origin. We clearly find that
source within Scriptural revelation. Hence, the Bible must
become the criteria for judging the authenticity of
Christianity itself.
This does not mean that those outside the empowerment
by the Holy Spirit, Who gave birth to the writing of the
Scriptures through inspiration, can truly understand the Holy
Bible (I Corinthians 2:14).
Hence, those who are made alive by the Spirit of
God (John 3:5-6) express God’s life within, having God’s
perspective regarding His Word. This assessment comes
not with a flaunting arrogance, or a better than you
separation, but with a heart of gratitude for God’s
grace. It flows
with a realization that we earn nothing within our own right,
but receive the mercy and grace God extends toward us through
the Cross. Such
disposition causes us to look toward those who have never come
to the Light, those who are in darkness and even those who
strike out against us with genuine love, for except for God’s
grace, all of us would be in darkness without recourse.
Therefore, this disposition brings us to a trail
of recognition:
First, God has absolutely no limitations. He remains forever infinite. That term simply means
He is not finite;
yet, the infinite
God created time and space, the continuum for finite
existence.
Also, God can never be less than sovereign. He has absolute and
final power and authority. Out of His sovereignty
He created everything and brought the avenues of redemption to
His creation. No
force beyond God exist, much less held any influence over the
actions of God.
Furthermore, God is omniscient, omnipresent and omnipotent. That is, He is
all-knowing, instantly present everywhere at every moment of
time and all powerful.
Thus, God can have no blind spots or weak points.
Yet, among God’s many other attributes, holiness provides the
unique central core that sets God apart from all else.
That is, God is totally other than His creation
and nothing within His creation can reflect this
character. We may
even say that God’s holiness as revealed only by God through
His Holy Spirit, gives us a glance into the immeasurable
unadulterated pureness reflected to
make God’s children aware of the lofty majesty of God’s
worthiness. This
pureness undergirds God’s faithful righteousness, equity and
justice. This
holiness takes on special significance through the expression
of His love (Isaiah 6).
These attributes provide an astounding
uniqueness to God’s agape, that is, God’s
unmerited, unconditional and absolute love. We see this as God
moves throughout history. He created Adam and
Eve and placed them within the perfect environment to worship
and serve God by choice.
Had God allowed Adam and Eve to have no choice by
failing to place the forbidden tree of the knowledge of
good and evil within the garden, Adam and Eve would have
never been able to express freedom to love and serve God as an
expression of their wills. Yet, because of the
tempter, the serpent, representing Satan, these first human
beings fell, declaring their independence of God. Within that rebellion,
they brought upon all humanity the fall which entailed
suffering, hardships, loneliness and death. This fall brought with it a
curse upon all
humanity.
But God did not leave His own creation to
absolute destruction.
He started with Abraham to set a nation aside to serve
Him that this nation might expound God’s message and salvation
to the entire world (Genesis 12:2).
To be sure, there
rose many quagmires and distractions for God’s people, but God
in His sovereign intervention blasted the awareness of His
people with respect to the seriousness of their trivializing
sin. Through
leaders, such as Joshua, He sometimes commanded the
unthinkable, such as the stoning of women and children. To us such an act
seems savage, as indeed it should. And it would be except
for the new element of God Himself. Since God is sovereign and
knows all things from the beginning to the end, He is in a
unique position to make demands to a primitive people. He wanted to
demonstrate to them the hatefulness and radical nature of
evil. But why women and
children? God
knew their future and may have done them a great favor in not
allowing them to grow up to suffer the ravages of a wicked
society. We must
take into account that God could have allowed some devastating
diseases to wipe out those women and children, but then the
children of Israel would not have
learned the lesson of how savage and awful sin’s consequences
can be.
History shows that
the children of Israel did not
completely heed that lesson, but the experience left them
without excuse.
They were finally shuttled away into captivity and
suffered greatly for their rebellious nature against
God.
Yet, God would not be defeated. Indeed, Christ, the
second Adam, born without sin, became the perfect sacrifice
for sin.
Jesus began to
teach His disciples God’s true nature as reflected beginning
with Matthew, chapter five. This message did not
reject the God of the Old Testament, for the Old Testament
paved the way for the fuller revelation through the New
Testament. God’s
purpose could not be defeated by His rebellious people (Acts
17:30). Yet, in our day and age
with the fuller revelation, we could never be justified in
stoning women and children or to do many other things of the
primitive people of the Old Testament.
Thus, Christians
do not necessarily hold to some fairy tales. Quite the contrary,
genuine Christians see beyond the surface through the eyes of
the Spirit. God’s
life flows through such understanding. History will
ultimately justify their understanding. We shall know the
truth and the truth will exonerate us (John 8:32).

Assault
on All Sides
Foreign
invasion assaults from
every direction! It’s almost like
some sort of nightmare from which we cannot
awaken finally to find ourselves back into
reality!
The foreign
invasion? Simple. Look at the renegade liberal
Congress. Congressmen bask in the capara of their
darkness, openly showing contempt for the Constitution of the
United
States. This Congress has brazenly
snubbed with derision, not only the Constitution of the
United
States, but the very
reason our forefathers founded this nation. They have howled
against any suggestion of religious liberty and the
accompanying free speech thereof by seeking to enact the
so-called fairness
doctoring!
This effort along
with the refusal to give a constitutionally mandated up or
down vote on nominees for positions of judgeships along with
efforts to quarantine Christianity from any expressions
whatsoever within the marketplace and any and every hostility
possible on ever level against any spark of decency speaks of
the present darkness ruling our nation. This coupled with
so-called ruling and laws of states such as
California and
Colorado pitches us
against a very dark and bleak
future.
But why should we as Christians be
dismayed? Does
this reveal to us that we are entering a night of spiritual
struggles which the Bible has already warned us concerning
these last days?
For us who believe, this is the darkness before the
brilliant appearing of our God, the Lord of lords and King of
kings!

The
New State Religion!
How
can
this be? The Constitution
absolutely forbids any state-sponsored religion. Try telling that to
certain liberal judges who have seen the Constitution as
irrelevant and totally ignored it with apparent impunity while
legislating from the bench their tyrannical rule! Take
California, for
example. The
California Supreme Court ignored the legislature and the will
of the vast majority of state citizens and determined gay
marriages to be legal!
In addition, consider the dangerous bill that
Colorado’s governor by all
expectation will sign into law. The law will go so far
as to place heavy fines and prison time on any convicted
violators, including Christians who by conscience cannot
conform. This law
demands such extremes as rights of anyone merely
claiming to be transgender or almost any other claim to have
rights to use restrooms designated for the opposite
gender.
This means that gender will no longer
play any role in the selection of a
restroom.
Imagine a lady’s restroom being violated by a
brutal man who boldly intrudes into the private affairs of
women, threatening merely in his presence, causing a panic
exodus. And
such tyranny reaches much broader and deeper than space and
time would allow for
description.
This philosophical approach herein becomes the
state religion which denies and
restricts all other religions which would oppose that
philosophy.
Christianity must remain silent or face grave
consequences.
Free speech will be an outdated privilege of the past.
Only one point of
view can be tolerated—that of the imposed state
religion!
It can be very frightening where all of this
leads, especially if this coming election places into our
federal government like-minded liberals. All of us will enter
an age of total darkness where no light will be allowed to
penetrate.
However, there remains one great hope for
Christians. Even
if such comes to pass, God’s grace will be with us and God
will eventually express His sovereignty over the whole
world!

Why
Are Christians Smiling?
Surely,
in a
society that defies even common decency, Christians who smile
and rejoice must be a rare breed! Just
what is the source of this optimism while all the clouds of
the kingdom of darkness usher in the threat of doomsday? While many legislators
bask in the prospects of permanently silencing through
legislation the Christian voices within our nation? While many courts
openly express hostility toward Christians and Christian
values and continue to wage war through judicial tyranny? And many other sordid
evils boil out of control?
Interesting questions, are they not? But consider this:
If in this life only we
have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable
(I Corinthians
15:19).
This
declaration from Scripture addresses the evils promulgated
through the kingdom of darkness. In other
words, Christians must never attach hope to the efforts of
humanity, for they shall fail us every time. While we are to work
for and pray for changes within our political system, we must
guard ourselves against a false sense that our security lies
within the structure of any government or peoples. We find ourselves
frequently betrayed, for the forces of darkness will always
influence and often control the natural person, who cares
nothing about Christianity and Christian values. Quite the contrary,
the genuine Christian's hope is in God, that He is ultimately
in control and will one glorious day purge our world and
establish His Kingdom in which all Christians will reign with
Him.
Isn’t that something for Christians to smile
about… even in the face of gloating politicians who seek our
destruction?

Abstinence
Education too Effective for Congress to
Consider
Yes,
you
read it correctly!
Unfortunately,
hand-picked liberal “health experts” would denounce abstinence
education even with the statistical
evidence that abstinence education revealed to be 45 to 50
percent more effective in controlling the health of
participants against communicable diseases that spread through
sexual activity than the education of students concerning
so-called safe sex procedures. Thus, liberal Congress
has what it desires:
A flimsy excuse to support a push to discontinue
funding abstinence
education.
Anyway, who beyond a handful of decent-minded
congressmen cares about the well-being of our young people,
anyway? After
all, that is one avenue to eradicate the overpopulation that
liberals have complained
about!

Where’s
the Bottom of this Deep
Pit?
Surely,
there
must be a bottom! It’s
reported from a multiplicity of sources across our nation. For example, a student
from Colorado
speaks to attorneys regarding verbal
assaults against her Christian beliefs, and
intimidated openly by her professor with threats of giving her
tests failing grades because she refuses to deny her
faith on those tests' answers! She is
not alone in this dastardly denial of Constitutional
rights. Because
of the total contempt for the Constitution and laws throughout
our nation, there’s a free for all defiance of law and
order. Such
practices even defy the Supreme Court rulings and apparently
with impunity.
We cannot help calling to mind the pathetic
degeneration of Israel during Old Testament times when each
did what was right in his own eyes (Judges 17:6). Are we not already on
the threshold of total anarchy?
April

We
Must Bury the
Constitution?
Surely,
it
would be that way if certain congressmen, such as Senator
Kennedy, had their way! The proposed
Employment Non-Discrimination Act
(ENDA) would demand Christians be
castrated and ostracized from society with no possible future
influence whatsoever!
Their belief in marriage as instituted and promulgate
by Almighty God Himself and founded upon God alone provides a
challenge to egotistical people infatuated with self and who
desire to eradicate the true God such that they can wallow in
their CAPARA
with the delight that no other God can then compete with
their delusion of all power.
Yes, indeed, ENDA would allow the
government rather than religion to demand what marriage is and
would break ranks with most societies of the world which
practice marriage as between a man and a woman to establish
family and family values. Christians would be
reduced to non-entity status by the ENDA bill should
it pass.
Christians would be forced to accept government values
without protest.
In other words, the Constitutional guarantee of
religious liberty
would be a thing of the past.
DO WE REALLY WANT THIS TYPE OF
ENSLAVEMENT?
We who are decent and law-abiding
Christian citizens DO know the answer to this, do
we not? Let
us pray that even our last vestige of Democracy will not fade
from history!
Yet, we as Christians will never hate gay
people, but continue to detest their life style which can
destroy them!

Could
Wright Be Right?
Surely, it would be some awesome twist of
the truth to conclude that the Rev. Jeremiah Wright to be
right in his gross statements of bigotry that condemns all
whites! We refer to some
of his radical statements, such as stereotyping “white people”
as the enemy of Afro-Americans. Unfortunately, quite a
significant number of people who happen to belong to the
so-called white race do disgrace the human race by
their blatant racism,
but many of us know numerous people who happen to be
classified as white people who befriend and
sympathize with so-called black people, who would
move heaven and earth to champion their cause for justice and
equitable treatment.
Personally, I am
happy that God has given me the common sense to know that race
has no relevance to the nature and character of any human
being, that there remain both good and bad people in every
so-called race.
However, only God Himself retains the authority
and power to determine good and bad with
respect to each individual person. The only way we are
allowed to judge remains the biblical criteria, we’ll know
them by their fruit (Luke 6:43-45). BUT,
that knowledge does NOT grant us the
authority to condemn.
That role belongs only to God and to Him alone! But
It does afford us an opportunity to reach out to
those offenders in the spirit of genuine love and to lift up
Christ that His Holy Spirit may convict toward the end that
such people will become the children of God and bear good
fruit. See Judging.

A
Beam of Light into Our Darkness
Easter, more
than a passing holiday, more than a fleeting reflection, more
than Easter bunnies and colorful eggs, even more than a
reminder of the death, burial, and Resurrection of our Lord,
explodes
with living REALITY! Easter links to the
hope of the ages such that we find the dynamics of life,
expression and direction!
This moment during the year catches up the whole
year with the true meaning of our very existence:
LIFE’S
TRIUMPHANT VICTORY OVER DEATH, HELL
AND
THE GRAVE!
Therefore, within our political death trap, may
we understand that the victory belongs—not to us—but to God.
And Easter proves
His power to resurrect hope and eventually absolute victory
over the darkness sweeping across our
land.

What
of the Sacred
Document of
our forefathers?
Incredible
as it
may seem, the dreadful
dictatorial powers unleashed in the Senate, couched in
flaunting utter, unmitigated contempt for the Constitution of
the United States, speaks loud and clear of the alien forces
taking over the governing of our nation. We are totally losing
most of the distinguishing character of the nation our
forefathers created.
As for example, in
spite of efforts to buck this insurrection by some brave
Senators who pointed out that Senate rules which trump the
Constitutional procedures for the President's judicial
nominees to the courts to receive an up or
down vote by the Senate destroys Constitutional
rule and negates the Constitution as a whole. Indeed, in
establishing rules to provide filibustering to block an
up or down vote called for by the
Constitution of the
United
States, the Senate
radically snorts contempt for that Constitution.
When any group (the Senate, the House, the
courts) throw out the Constitution, that group snubs the rule
of law and order and initiates a process of rebellion leading
toward anarchy.
Therefore, we need to be indignant and
intolerant of efforts to ditch our nation for hostile rule of
the elite minority.
Every decent American must resist apathy and inertia
and create a unified demand that these dictatorial legislators
be brought back in line with our Constitution. Let us have the
backbone and guts of our forefathers to stand and cry with
them to give us liberty or give us
death!
Easily
said, we might
say. Yes, many of
us may be in the dark with respect to how we can take
action. Let us
consider the very first line of defense—prayer. If
America would fall to her
knees, we would be surprised how much difference that prayer
alone would make.
Then, under the direction of biblical principles, we
could act on the opportunities we yet have (Romans
13:1-8). We could
vote! We do need
a change by electing senators and other political candidates
who have conviction and principle. Beyond that, we can be
involved in contacting our congressmen with our
indignation. We
can also look for every opportunity to align ourselves with
groups like ACLJ and
LC or voter
information.
If we all band together, we could start reclaiming our
nation!

See
Berkley for a Newsworthy
Disscusion
Valentines
Day has come. Considering what has
transpired in Berkley,
California, and a struggle
in Congress to take reprisal action, hatred and outright
contempt for the history and heritage of our nation all but
blot out the significance of this day to recognize the value
of family and friends, honor each other and celebrate
LOVE
for each other.
Berkley City
Council expressed contempt and hostilities toward the Marines
and the recruiting service present in that city, demanded that
they leave as unwelcome intruders and even accused of being
mass murders. See
Berkley.
A movement in
Congress to deny allocated government funds to that city
because of illegal obstruction to the recruiting station has met with obstinate
obstruction from a significant number of Congress
persons.
Yes, we fear you have
read correctly.
Isn’t it extraordinarily difficult to believe that we
live in the United
States any more with
such enemies of our heritage quite diametrically opposed to
the foundational principles upon which our government
originated! In
yesteryears such stance would have been considered no less
than treason.
Such action as occurred illegally in
Berkley and supported by
certain persons of Congress quite frankly stinks. Such a disposition
reveals the whole
lot to be identified with the radical Islamic terrorists
who are indeed the beneficiaries of their
alignment.
If this assessment seems harsh, it is and intentionally
so. It is
time for all genuine American citizens to say enough is
enough.
Sure, to be an American gives every person a right to
protest, but never a right to resort to illegal recourse that
endangers the security of our own nation, to disregard law and
order and to introduce the elements leading toward
anarchy. And to think that even
some members of Congress encourage such rebellion by blocking
reprisals goes beyond the very minimum fabric which defines us
as Americans and demands us by decency to concede such members
of Congress to be the enemies of America!
I am forced to admit this horrible estate as the
writer for this website, but I do so with much trepidation and
genuine disturbance.
I am so very saddened by that possibility and desire
that there has been some miscommunication. I would be delighted
to be proven wrong, but if the facts have been accurately
reported, we must come to grips with the grave seriousness of
this plight.

Could
the Impossible Happen?
Surely,
it would be
marvelous if the impossible took place! As we look toward
Valentine’s
Day, would not that reflection become
substantive if politicians could
demonstrate a little altruistic love and less moved toward
manipulation and exploitation of the political process toward
personal interest and advantage at the expense of the
America voters?
