The Hidden truth about the Anti-War March in Washington.

2005-09-28T16:16:00.000-05:00

Let me start out by saying that I understand that Cindy Shehan feels pain and loss from the death of her son. Also if she wants an end to the war that is her right.. But beyond that is where I part company with her. The two main sponsors of the Anti-War and even Anti-American Rally in Washington were International A.N.S.W.E.R and United for Peace and Justice are both affiliates of the Worker World Party.. Workers World Party is a front group for the Communist Party, these groups support Castro in Cuba, Kim Jong-Il in North Korea, the Communist Chinese Government and even the Radical Islamic Jihadist. We need to know who is the supporters of this movement against the United States’ War on Terror. These are enemies of our country and our ideas that are supporting this Anti-War/Anti-American movement.

"To every man there come in his lifetime that special moment when he is figuratively tapped on the shoulder and offered the chance to do a very special thing, unique to him and fitted to hls talents; what a tragedy if that moment finds him unprepared and unqualified for the work which would be his finest hour."
Winston Churchill

Public Service

2005-08-26T10:31:00.000-05:00

Public service is a noble cause but there needs to be one thing that those in it need to understand. That should not be your only job in life or you loose perspective. If you are not in other careers you loose the perspective of those outside of government. The Founders all had careers before they served and I believe that they expected those who followed them to live that way also. Go to serve whether in Washington or the state capitols but then go home and live under the laws you made.

We have a whole class in our government that lives there and stays there and does not have to live under their own laws. On top of that they have built a bureaucracy that is huge and separated from society as a whole. Therefore they are out of touch with the normal citizen. We need to have people willing to serve but only for a certain amount of time but then move on.

Not without a fight

2005-08-24T08:20:00.000-05:00

I hate to say it but I am like most Americans who think this country is headed down the tubes. I think I might be wrong, I have based this judgment on what I see on TV but I have to realize that this is only a small perspective on things. The Liberal, non-Christian Left is trying to change our belief system and demoralize us in to thinking that we as a country are sliding. They want us to think that the only way to succeed is to succumb to the authority of the Left or even better yet the UN. They know everything and the State is going to do it all for us.

I believe that is just all wrong! I also believe that most Americans believe that it is wrong also. The State is not the Savior, Jesus Christ is our Savior. We need to realize that no matter how bad things get or how crazy it seems on the TV or even in the world around us he is in control. He will not let us be harmed but the Devil’s schemes in ways we can not bear. He is our Rock and Provider! Not the State not the UN.

We are not a Godless country; we were founded on Christian principle and have had them even up until today. We as a country go up and down just like a believer’s walk is not always up, up, up. We have valleys and we have mountain top experiences. I believe as a nation after 9/11 we had a mountain top experience but we have been slipping into a valley because of carefree attitude. We must not let the Godless lull us to sleep and allow them to be victorious but we must stand up and fight for our rights.

The New Crusades

2005-08-23T08:10:00.000-05:00

We are not at war in Iraq or Afghanistan; we as “Christian” Nation are at war with Islam and Islamic Nations through out the world. We have in a sense started a new crusade. We have taken the fight to them and are trying to stop the spread of Islam and especially Radical Fundamentalist Islam. A thousand years ago we took the fight to them and held Israel for hundreds of years and stopped the advance of Islam. We can do it again.

We need to learn from the Cold War though. We tried to root out communism where ever it stuck out is ugly head, both here and abroad. But we have allowed Radical Islam and Islam as a whole gain a huge foothold in our country. We allow them to dictate how we speak, how we do business and even how we live our lives. That is wrong, this is a Christian Nation founded on Christian principles!

Have we become so dead or so subdued by liberalism and political correctness that we have forgotten how to fight? We fought a great and heroic war against Nazi and Japanese aggression but have we have forgotten how to fight? Have we have lost our will? I do not think so down in the hearts of most of the USA we still have it in us to defeat this enemy not only to our country but our way of life and our country!

Islamic Law???

2005-08-22T13:07:00.000-05:00

As a Christian I am not sure I really like the idea that Iraqi law must conform to Islamic Law. I was reading the report that said that the draft had included the language that all laws in Iraq must conform to Islamic law. The laws that make women property and furthers Jihad against infidels.
I would much rather have secular laws and its constitution state that are Islamic rather than the laws "must" conform to Islamic law.

Stand up and declare your allegiance

2005-08-17T09:10:00.000-05:00

I am so sick and tired of the media and some (not all) in the left wing giving aid and comfort to the enemy under the name of “Free Speech”. 60 years ago in WWII this would be called treason and those responsible would be imprisoned or executed. But today the media and those in it and many out there can blast our country and defile our president, flag and reputation and get away with it. They can endanger our troops, embolden our enemy and break our moral and call it free speech. That is just morally wrong. Americans need to stand up and say it is wrong and fight against it. We need to realize that we are in a war! The enemy is not as defined as WWII as in Germany and Japan but it is still an enemy that wants us dead, our way of life destroyed and power to rule the world. We are at WAR not just in Iraq and Afghanistan and around the world. We need to stand up and declare our allegiance to the United States of America! And if you can not declare that allegiance then move to our enemies countries or to their willing accomplices in France and Germany!

Freedom in Christ

2004-10-22T08:16:00.000-05:00

Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.

II Corinthians 3: 17

Freedom according to Webster is

A being free; esp., a) independence b) civil or political liberty c) exemption from an obligation, discomfort, etc d) a being able to act, use, etc. freely e) ease of movement f) frankness 2 a right or privilege.

The worlds view of Freedom

Freedom of speech – pornography, homosexuality is just an alternative lifestyle, TV
Freedom over our own bodies – abortion
Freedom in schools – killing God in schools, atheism, evolution, valueless teaching,
Freedom comes from the Government
Freedom from religious expression, not Christian expression

1 - The History of Liberty is a History of limitations of Governmental power, not the increase of it. When we resist, therefore, the concentration of Power, We are resisting the powers of Death, because the concentration of power is what always precedes the destruction of Human Liberties. – President Woodrow Wilson

Simply put, early Christianity was God at work in the Whole culture- Not merely in the Heart of Man.

2 – We have a country that is founded on Freedom, our soldiers have fought and died for Freedom but the freedom that we live in today is the freedom that is listed in the Constitution. Our founding fathers did not want freedom from God, freedom from life, freedom in Government. They fought for Freedom that gave us liberty not license!

In Christ we are free and have freedom but as Paul said in Romans

Romans 6:15
Shall we sin because we are not under law but under Grace? By no means!

You have been set free from sin and have become slaves to righteousness v. 18

But now that you have been set free from sin and have become slaves to God, the benefit you reap leads to holiness, and the result is eternal life. v. 22

What is required for true freedom is to have the mind of Christ.
We must think and live the life of Christ.
We must have a transformation of our mind to that of Christ to have true freedom.
Not just think similar to that of Christ but a total transformation of the

You can not have true freedom with out the transformation of our mind.

The War on Terror and the Coming War with Islam

2004-10-21T08:10:00.000-05:00

The Islamic invasion today is the greatest threat to Western Civilization since the Muslims were driven out in the 15th and 16th Centuries. They were driven out of Spain after capturing the Iberian Peninsula and moving in to France in the 8th Century. They were driven back out of France in the Battle of Tours but Charles Martel. They were stopped at the Gates of Vienna in 1563.

If in 1492 Spain had not driven the Muslims out or in 1563 defeating the Muslim hordes at the gates of Vienna had not happened we would be a Muslim world today. Yes the West has almost imploded upon itself several times with the 100 years war, WWI, WWII and other times but from outside the Christian West there has not been such peril here is today.

After lying silent and waiting Islam has slowly crept up on the West in the past 60 years. The West has forgotten its Christian Heritage and has embraced Socialism and forgotten how important faith and religion is to people. The West is so far removed from our Christian heritage that we forget that Islam is so antithetical to Christianity. Mohammed turned Christianity and Judaism on its head and turned religions of love in to religion of hate and perversion.

There are those Muslims who are peaceful and live in the modern world but studies say at least ten percent of Muslims are radical and believe that Shari`ah law should be forcefully imposed on the world. One third of the countries in the UN are Muslim nations that have banded together to impose their way upon the whole Body or blocking actions by the body. There are 1 billion Muslims in the world today, if ten percent of them are radical that is 100 million. I also think that fifty to seventy-five percent more are sympathetic to Radical Islam. So between one in five and one in ten people in the world want to bring Shari`ah law on the rest of the world and that should frighten the rest of the world. We need to understand that Shari`ah law will radical change all freedom we have and will force us to live under Islamic law and convert to Islam or face death.

What can we do? We need to realize that we are under attack daily, not only from the Socialist in our own country but from Islamist around the world. We then need to be vocal for traditional Christian values. We need to retake the education system from the socialist. There are a lot of good Christian teachers but with the Union and all Major state and private universities controlled by liberals we need to retake our schools. The minds of our children need us to recapture their teacher and education system.

Personal Peace & Affluence busted (at least for a While)

2004-10-19T11:48:00.000-05:00

America has been living in the ideal of Personal Peace and Affluence for a long time. We do not want to become involved in the communities or our neighborhood. We have been driven by the PC crowd to be quiet. The Christian Right and the Right in America in general has polite and kept quiet. We have allowed the Left, the Socialists, and the Environmentalists to have a vocal voice and to take over areas of power in the United States. The Left and Socialists have taken over the Higher Education institutions, the Teachers Union, the Main Stream Media and the judicial branch of Government. The Right has been quiet and stood on the sidelines. The right is gentlemanly and will not try to interrupt or be “loud and proud”.
The right needs to get out of our Personal Peace and Affluence and stand up for our Right to speak up, the first amendment, and Free speech! The Left has been leading us down the path to a banana republic by trying to take the country by unfair elections like the communist Chavez in Venezuela. They have asked for monitors to come in an watch our elections like Georgia, not the one in the southern United States but the one South of Russia.
We need to get out of our lives of personal peace and get out of our comfort zone and make a difference. Our country needs good people to defend it. We have great people in the Military but we need good people here at home to defend our freedom against Socialist who want to change our way of life.

The Perversion of Rights in America

2004-10-19T08:17:00.000-05:00

CNN Radio News had Dr. Sanja Gupta talking about how health care is a right of Americans. What a deception of Socialist it is that so many things are “rights”.
What kind of things? Protests, Speech (even when it is vulgar, exploitive or offensive), privacy, education, welfare, social security, FEMA, cheap drugs, internet, television, fairness, success and now health care. We live in a Nation that has come to expect the Government to take care of us from birth to death. We have come to expect the government to be there anytime anything happens to anyone. They have become our ultimate safety net. We have the right to have success in everything and when we have any failure or struggle whatsoever it is the government’s job to help us or lift us up.
That is Socialism. The government controls life from birth to death and takes care of the citizens. We have slipped into Socialism slowly and quietly. Wake up and fight it!

VIGILANCE

2004-10-18T08:11:00.000-05:00

I am not talking about voter fraud or anything to do with the election. We are so focused on the Election that we may become complacent to terrorism in the United States. We have been hit by hurricanes, been through a lot with this election but I think that we are becoming complacent. We need to keep our eyes open for anything suspicious not only for election fraud but for terrorist activities.
Al Qaida changed the election of Spain by bombing trains on March 11, 2004. Three days before the election they change the outcome from a pro-American Government to a Socialist government. We need to make sure that we are vigilant to stop any sort of attacks against us before the election.
We are vulnerable because the Radical Islamic Terrorists only have to be successful one time and the Dept. of Homeland security, FBI, CIA, Police, and Law Enforcement have to be right 100% of the time. This is our country also and we need to be diligent!!

God is interested in YOU

2004-10-17T14:56:00.000-05:00

God, the Creator, the Truth, the Provider is interested in everyone. Not just your spiritual life but all your life. God cares about all of your life from your work to your family to your health. God cares about your life even in the small areas like sleep patterns and emotions. God is a God of all things.
We as a society have tried to box God off to a “Church thing”. God is bigger, so much bigger than that. He can not fit into any box we try to put Him; He is really wants to be part of all your and my life! Many Christians try to use the church as a way to limit God in their lives. That is the Spiritual part of my life and nothing else. God is so much bigger than that. He is the Creator of all things, Sustainer of all things, Redeemer of all things and Lord of all things.
God is so interested in you that part of Himself, Jesus the Lamb of God and the second part of the Trinity, came and died a violent death for you. His blood was shed for the salvation of your sins. Sin came in through Adam & Eve and was forgiven once for all through Jesus.
God is interested in you!!

The Divided Church

2004-10-13T13:17:00.000-05:00

John 17:20-26 He loved us so much that even at the end of his walk here on earth 2000 years ago He prayed for us.

v. 22 “That they may be one as we are one”
v. 23 “May they be brought to complete unity.”

The Church today divided by denominations and denominational fights over doctrine and I know that it breaks God’s heart to see his Bride so divided. We here in this community need to break down the walls of denominations fighting realizing that we have different doctrine and different bodies and meeting places and work together to bring this community to Christ because if we are not unified as Christ prayed for us to be, the work is fragmented and harder.
The other division in our country today the also splits the churches is the division of race.
I go back to Martin Luther King Jr.’s “I have a dream speech”
to the last paragaraph
“When we let freedom ring, when we let it ring from every village and every hamlet, from every state and every city, we will be able to speed up that day when all God’s Children, black men and white men, Jews and Gentiles, Protestant and Catholics, will be able to join hands and sing the words of the old Negro spiritual, “Free at last! Free at last! Thank God Almighty, we are free at last!”

1Corinthians 3:1-9 - If we argue over

We are free in Christ, let us join as a united front against the evil one and stand firm in Christ knowing that the victory is ours.

We live in a great country with much to be thankful for and as Christians we need to be unified both demoninationally and racially in the Love of Christ to stand in our world today to make the difference to see His Kingdom advance into our dark world.

United we conqure, divided we fall.

From a sermon by our pastor

Faithfulness

2004-10-12T08:02:00.000-05:00

Faithfulness

(A sermon from 2002 that I preached in Marion, IN)

What does it mean to be faithful?

Two words could define what faithful means – Don’t quit!

Jesus did not quit! He hung in there until the end and it cost him his life.

Historical people who did not quit

Christopher Columbus - all thought world was flat he thought it was round and sailed off to show he was right against all people

Dream and goal and did not quit

Thomas Edison – Famous inventor but he did not have success come easily he had to try over and over after many failures but he succeeded and had many great inventions including the light bulb

Abraham Lincoln – He had much opposition and lost many election but he lived and died for an idea because he did not quit.

We are in a battle and against and enemy who is not of flesh and blood but of principalities and power. But the Bible say that he who is in us is greater than he who is in the world.

Our world has many people in it who have just quit when the trouble comes but we can stand strong in God and He will be with us

Acts 6:8-15

Acts 7:54-60

Stephen was a young man who did not quit but followed Jesus even when it cost him his life. The people who hate Jesus hated all he taught and all who taught what he taught.

Stephen could have quit and renounced Jesus and kept his life. But he did not quit and died for his belief in Jesus.

It takes faithfulness and character to stand up for Jesus. I does cost us to life for Jesus

Revelation 2:10 “Be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life”

Columbus Day in perspective

2004-10-11T08:13:00.000-05:00

Today is Columbus Day. I think this holiday has become an unrecognized holiday because Columbus is not PC. Columbus came to North America and brought about a capturing of the Native population. That is not PC and he has been denigrated in the past 30 years. Columbus personally did not come for gold or riches he came for two reasons. Others may have had that motive but Columbus primary purpose was spreading Christianity. (Was it in the back of his mind, probably but he had other motives for going west, so did the Ferdidnad and Isabella) First he wanted to bring the gospel to new people and second to find a “Second front” to fight the Muslim invasion of the west.
Columbus was a Christian and that is not looked highly upon in the main stream today. Columbus wanted to share the Gospel of Jesus to new people. He looked to the East, including Japan, the East Indies and India which were not Christian. He knew what the East was like and wanted to share Jesus with them.
In 1492 Spain finally defeated the last Muslims and had freed the Iberian Peninsula. But the eastern part of Europe was still under Muslim control. Vienna was attacked by Muslims in 1653 so there was still a war between Muslims and Christian going on. Columbus was looking for a second front to attack the Muslims from the East so they would have to divide their resources. The trip around Africa was too long and treacherous to be a good way to go. Traveling west for a couple of weeks or months and arrive on the Eastern end of Muslim lands to open a second front would be much better.
So why do I a say this. Columbus was not PC because he was a Christian and was looking to share Jesus. But the unknown reason for his travels was in a religious war with Muslims and he was looking for a second front to attack from.
We are in a religious war today and our president is similar to Columbus because he opened a second front in the war by attack in the Middle East in Afghanistan and Iraq. We need to thank our president for defending us in this Religious war against the Muslims Fanatics and terrorist.

And Jesus said, " go your way. From now on sin”

2004-10-08T08:18:00.000-05:00

Can you believe that Jesus said that? Well He did in John chapter 8. He told a woman to go and sin. I thought Jesus wanted righteousness and holiness not sin but He said it, so it must be true! Everything else I have heard about Jesus said that he did not want people to sin. It clearly says it right there in my Bible that Jesus told her to” go your way. From now on sin.”

I think you know that those words were not all he said to her. The real context of the passage is: “And she said, ‘No one, Lord.’ And Jesus said, ‘Neither do I condemn you; go your way. From now on sin no more.’” John 8:11(NASB). So he really did not tell her to sin he told her to sin no more. But out of Context it looks like Jesus is contradicting himself. It is all about context.

I was listening to my local radio stations news and it unfortunately is CNN. But in the same news segment I heard them take two reports out of context and make them major news. First the report on the VP debate they had Cheney blasting Edwards about him forgetting the Iraqi soldiers killed, but they did not say it was about the Iraqis or even use them in the clip they just had him saying that Edwards denigrated their loss and did not care. It sounded like he was saying that Edwards did not care any Americans had died but he was talking about the Iraqis not the Americans. Plus, in the same reporting they had this quote “Vioxx may not be the only arthritis drug to cause heart problems.”
Nothing else was said before or after it so where is the context for this statement?

I was reading Realpolitics.com and found the headline OP-ED by Paul Bremer and he had to defend his statements because they were taken out of context. The MSM may not lie but when you take things out of context you are lying all the same because the real truth is left on the editor’s desk and not reported to the public.

Even on a larger scale the Iraq war is being taken out of context. In the war on Terrorism the Iraq war makes sense but when you take it out of context it doesn’t. Out of Context the Iraq war looks like America being a bully but in the right context of the post 9/11 world it makes perfect sense.

CONTEXT is important. In the same way, you can not take your religious life out of context it has to be part or all your life and not just your Sunday morning ritual. It must be part of all your life!

An Unchanging God in an Ever-changing World

2004-10-07T07:59:00.000-05:00

I wrote this in 1996 while I was pastoring at a church in Covington, Viginia. I wanted to get away from all the Politics for a little while.I thought this sermon was so appropriate for what was going on in our world today! So here it is, I know it is long but It is good and uplifiting.

An Unchanging God in an Ever-changing World

Hebrews 6: 13-20

1. Introduction

a. This is about the promise made to Abraham -descendants as great as the sand at the sea

b. Melchizedek - King and Priest of Jerusalem - Gen. 14:18-20

c. God is unchanging in keeping his promises!

2. What Changes

Life

People

Nations

Boarders

Investments

Leaders

Seasons

Wars

Cars

Businesses

Products

Children

Parents

Religions

Fads

Clothing fashions

and so much more.

We live in a changing world and everything around us is changing! At the end of time we will even be changed from perishable to imperishable, dishonor to glory, weakness to power, natural to spiritual, corruptible to incorruptible. Everything changes we live in a world where

In a split second a building in Oklahoma City is reduced to rubble,

Where peace treaties are signed and broken on the same day

Where promises are broken even before they are made

Heart attacks can take a persons life before they hit the floor

Where an assassins bullet change the destiny of a nation

Where a drunken drive can change or wipe out a family forever

The tale of Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny comes to in an end in a young person's life

Where a word spoken can never be taken back and change a relationship forever.

Change can bring confusion and hopelessness. We live in a world where there is no stability in a person’s life, especial a young persons life, confusion reigns.

The Generation X is the dying at the hands of each other at a rapid rate, with

Drive By shootings

Drugs and Drug related killings

Drunken Driving

Thrills and death is just part of the thrill

Suicide, Homicide and AIDS are the biggest killers of our kids because there is no hope. There is no hope because in a changing world there are no real absolutes given, everything is relative, to what you think of right and wrong is and if that is not what your friend or classmate thinks is right or wrong you had better watch out. With no absolutes there is no absolute Truth nothing unchanging because everything is changing

3. God Doesn’t Change

Our God is unchangeable and immutable. He makes promises and keeps them, He does not lie! He has power over creation and He kept the Sun from setting and the Days changing for Joshua, He brought the walls down at Jericho, He parted the Red Sea, and He raised Lazarus from the dead. He kept His promise to Abraham and he will keep his promises to you.

I will never leave you or forsake you - Heb. 13:5

I will be with you always even to the end of the age. - Matt. 28:20

Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God; trust also in me. In my Father’s house there are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you... John 14:1-2

He will give you another counselor to be with you forever, the Spirit of Truth - John 14:16-17

What is impossible with men is possible with God - Luke 18:27

God Makes promises he intends to keep because He has the Power to keep them because he is the creator of all things. He is a God who is unchanging no matter what he theologians or scientist or great minds of today would like to do with Him. He does not fit into a box that they try to put Him in or that we try to put Him in and he never will.

4. Standing firm on an unchanging God

In a changing world we need to stand firm on the reality that God is unchanging. We are in a battle every day with the battle raging on and our Enemy Satan looking like he is making much head way in our world and our country today.

But no matter how much how many battles we see Satan winning we need to STAND FAST in the promises of God and the assurance of His unchanging nature in our very changing world.

5. Hope and Application

In our world of change like a shifting sea God is our anchor (v 19) he is our rock and our foundation. He is the only solid structure we can build our lives on and be sure of the outcome and the end.

It may seem like everything is going against us or God has made a promise to us we do not see him keeping, like Abraham at 99 and Sarah at 90 giving birth to a baby. But stand fast in the promises and faith in Christ because He does not lie.

We are in a battle, against Satan and the change of our world can keep us on edge and unsure of what the future will hold. But we can stand fast on the Rock of Jesus with the Anchor of our life, God.

Simper Fidelis - Always Faithful.

We have an unchanging God in our Changing world, we as Christians need to take hold of Him!

Church & Society

2004-10-05T08:10:00.000-05:00

Exodus 20:5
"You shall not worship them or serve them; for I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children, on the third and the fourth generations of those who hate Me, “

Can God be pleased with our nation and its moral decay? We have turned from God and worshiped Idols. Those idols are power, money, other gods, sex, leisure and so many things that distract or even divert us from worshiping God. God is not pleased when we do not acknowledge him with our minds and hearts.
The Church has been silent for too long. The Bride of Christ has been in on the worship of Idols too. She has been silent and sitting on the sidelines in the war for our country spiritually. The church has allowed the power of the state to usurp her rightful place in the welfare of the people. She has allowed the state to push God to the sidelines in the hearts and minds of the people.
The Church needs to retake her rightful place as the center of society. The government has it’s place but the church has it’s place. The government has a roll of security and laws but the Church has the responsibility of the spiritual welfare and the concerns of the poor. The Church has been kowtowed into a corner because the phase “Separation of Church and State” has been misused.
The Church needs to come out praying and become active. The hymn Onward Christian Soldiers is appropriate. The Bride of Christ needs to retake her rightful place in society.

What has happened to America?

2004-10-04T08:11:00.000-05:00

Our country was, until a 100 to 150 years ago, based on Biblical Christianity. We still have that foundation but there has been on philosophy creeping in year after year that has been spreading like a cancer across our Nation. This has been happening to Western Civilization but because of our deep foundation in the Bible I believe that it has been slower to happen to us in the USA.
This philosophy is Socialism. Socialism has been taking over in little areas, like questioning the creation of God with Darwinism or questioning the charity of the Church by pushing Government little by little on the citizens. Americans have been allowing the Socialist to implement their agenda. When God was removed from school about 50 years ago they won. They knew that they would just have to wait a generation or two and they would have removed God from the hearts and minds of most Americans. The Church has been weakened because we have not stood up for our Savior. The church has been made a separate part of people’s lives. The church had been center of a community and God had been the central part of life. People understood that God was important to all areas of life. Christians have allowed Socialism change people hearts to see a Sacred and a Secular. That is WRONG. All areas of life are God’s there is not a God part and a part without God. The Socialists have pushed God out of the mainstream.
Christians need to take back our schools! That is where the Church will win. The socialist have been winning because they took the schools 50 years ago. Many see abortion as the greatest issue. I think it is a horrible tragedy for our country but the Schools need to be first! The next generation needs to be won back to God and that will not only happen in the church but when God is allowed back into schools. That will be a tough feat though, there are many in the NEA, Department of Education, and the Courts who are Socialist in mindset.
The Church has become apathetic. Francis Schaffer put it as we have become most interested in Personal Peace and Affluence. The church is interested in only people’s hearts but has allowed society as a whole be contaminated by sin though the ideas of socialism. I blogged the 1963 agenda of the Communist and to look through that list shows me that the Marxist/Leninist have succeeded in most of their agenda even though their host country of Russia has “fallen”. The Marxist/Leninists have won even in their loss of apparent control of Russia and the Eastern Europe. The Marxist/Leninist have in Socialism have taken over their enemies, Western Europe and even the Democrat Party in America.
Our country is under attack from outside by Islamic Terrorist and from within by Socialism! We need to stand firm on our foundation of the Constitution as it was written not as the “Living Document” the Socialist like to interpret it.

Words do mean things!

2004-09-22T19:46:00.000-05:00

People throw around words all the time without thought of the consequences. People use words to bring images to a persons mind but then do not think they have consequences in people’s memories. Mr. Kerry came to the podium and said he was “reporting for duty.” Those words brought back a flood of images to Vietnam Vets and they relived those images all over again. They had all those images locked away in their minds and his words unlocked them. The results are evident from the Swift Boat ads and the response in the polls to his words.

Word so mean thing even in every day life. Words mean thing when talking to your family, they mean things when talking to your boss, they mean things when talking to your friends and they even mean things when talking to God. Words do mean things!

Relativism is the real problem

2004-09-22T12:49:00.000-05:00

I have heard it said that the Liberal political elite and the Liberal media establishment are above scrutiny because of who they are. I disagree. They do not see themselves as being above scrutiny; they just see everything as relative and do not understand why mainstream America does not see it the same way. Their way is a means to an end. The end is a socialist America with the government in control of everything from birth to death, like in France, Germany and most of the rest of “old Europe”. The Liberals in America believe that is ok to do whatever it takes because their end is right and noble; so how to get to the goal does not matter.

It comes down to their view of truth. Most of America has a view of right and wrong, truth and lie, but the Liberals believe that truth is relative. You hear it many ways: Right and wrong is different for different people; there are many ways to God. These are a few ways that Liberals portray what is right and wrong. It is up to the individual if something is right or wrong, and there are no absolutes.

When someone comes along with real convictions, they cannot believe it and know that it is detrimental to their way of life and goals. Liberals try to smear anyone who has these beliefs as dumb or backward. When people do not have any absolutes in their live they live on the shifting sand of relativism, and that only gets you into trouble every time.

Marriage is important

2004-09-16T19:05:00.000-05:00

Marriage in America is under attack from many places. Television is one area marriages are being attack from. Promiscuity, adultery, and pornography are just a few ways that television is attacking traditional marriage in America. Marriage is under attack in our court system in the form of no fault and easy divorces. Marriage is under attack by homosexual agenda in their attempt to redefine marriage as a union between two loving people. Our civilization is founded on the family and marriage. To tear it down and destroy it for a small minority to feel accepted for their abnormal life style is wrong. We are a nation values and civility with marriage and family as its bedrock. A nation built on the shifting sands of sinful nature is destructive to all of us.

Russia's response

2004-09-15T10:55:00.000-05:00

An interesting hypothesis

What will Russia’s response be to Breslan? They want to hit terrorist wherever they are and probably will. What is the other desire of Russia, to have for several hundred years; a warm water port. If they can tie in Iran to the Islamic massacre in Breslan, they could possible gain both objectives with one action. Several questions arise. Do they have the military to do it with out major ramping up and movement? Is this good for the United States in the long run? Short term it would dispose of a major terrorist state but what would be the ramifications of Russia occupying Iran? I believe in the long run it would be a problem for the US for Russia to control this area of the world.

Just a thought.

War against Islam

2004-09-15T10:45:00.000-05:00

We are in a war in this country, not only against terrorism but against Radical Islam. We are a Christian country but are being invaded by radical Islamist. We also need to realize that the world is under attack by Islam. The Christian West stopped and beat back Islam in 1492. Islam stopped and struggled for nearly 500 years but in the recent past it has started to try to expand again. It is taken over nearly the entire interior of Africa and it pushes through Southeast Asia. What it could not do by force in the fifteenth century; defeat Western Europe, it is doing by immigration. Even in the United States Islam is getting a good foothold. Just because of freedom of religion in this country, does not mean we do not need to keep watch on Islam. Christianity and Islam are antithetical in ideas and philosophies; we need to know that Islamic law is harsh and absolute. Islam is not a religion of love and justice but of war and callousness. We are in a war against Islam in America and do not even know it.

Our Holy War

2004-05-17T12:41:00.000-05:00

Our country in is effort to remove religion from everything but a “personal” feeling has overlooked the fact that we are in a religious war. A holy war has been declared on us by Islamic fundamentalist. The west won this type a war before but that was before Columbus found America so we have forgotten what it was like and how to fight it. We can only remember back as far as Vietnam.
We can kind of understand a war of cultures and ideas fought in the cold war but a religious war is far beyond our comprehension. We as a nation can not understand that people would die for a religion. We have divorce ourselves so far from religion and religious ideals that we forget that there is a God.
I am a Christian and I would have trouble dying for what I believe in but if it came down to it I hope I would. I see in the Middle East and even here on these shores on 9/11 there are a group of people who are willing to die for what they believe in. They believe that to die would guarantee them entrance in to Paradise.
We need to understand that and be willing not only to fight for our country, as great as it is, but be willing to fight for our God.

1963 Communist Goals, how many have they been successful with?

2004-05-13T09:48:00.000-05:00

1963 Communist Goals

The following was entered into the Congressional record by Albert Herlong, Jr. (a Floridian who served in Congress from 1949-69) in 1963.

1) US acceptance of coexistence as the only alternative to atomic war
2) US willingness to capitulate in preference to engaging in atomic war
3) Develop the illusion that total disarmament by the US would be a demonstration of "moral strength"
4) Permit free trade between all nations regardless of Communist affiliation and regardless of whether or not items could be used for war.
5) Extension of long term loans to Russia and Soviet Satellites
6) Provide American aid to all nations regardless of Communist domination
7) Grant recognition of Red China, and admission of Red China to the UN.
8) Set up East and West Germany as separate states in spite of Khrushchev's promise in 1955 to settle the Germany question by free elections under supervision of the UN
9) Prolong the conferences to ban atomic tests because the US has agreed to suspend tests as long as negotiations are in progress
10) Allow all Soviet Satellites individual representation in the UN
11) Promote the UN as the only hope for mankind. If its charter is rewritten, demand that it be set up as a one world government with its own independent armed forces. (Some Communist leaders believe the world can be taken over as easily by the UN as by Moscow. Sometimes these two centers compete with each other as they are now doing in the Congo)
12) Resist any attempt to outlaw the Communist Party
13) Do away with loyalty oaths
14) Continue giving Russia access to the US Patent Office
15) Capture one or both of the political parties in the US
16) Use technical decisions of the courts to weaken basic American institutions, by claiming their activities violate civil rights.
17) Get control of the schools. Use them as transmission belts for Socialism, and current Communist propaganda. Soften the curriculum. Get control of teachers associations. Put the party line in text books.
18) Gain control of all student newspapers
19) Use student riots to foment public protests against programs or organizations which are under Communist attack.
20) Infiltrate the press. Get control of book review assignments, editorial writing, policy-making positions.
21) Gain control of key positions in radio, TV & motion pictures.
22) Continue discrediting American culture by degrading all form of artistic expression. An American Communist cell was told to "eliminate all good sculpture from parks and buildings", substitute shapeless, awkward, and meaningless forms.
23) Control art critics and directors of art museums. " Our plan is to promote ugliness, repulsive, meaningless art".
24) Eliminate all laws governing obscenity by calling them "censorship" and a violation of free speech and free press.
25) Break down cultural standards of morality by promoting pornography, and obscenity in books, magazines, motion pictures, radio and TV.
26) Present Homosexuality, degeneracy, and promiscuity as "normal, natural, and healthy".
27) Infiltrate the churches and replace revealed religion with "social" religion. Discredit the Bible and emphasize the need for intellectual maturity, which does not need a "religious crutch"
28) Eliminate prayer or any phase of religious expression in the schools on the grounds that it violates the principle of "separation of church and state"
29) Discredit the American Constitution by calling it inadequate, old fashioned, out of step with modern needs, a hindrance to cooperation between nations on a worldwide basis.
30) Discredit the American founding fathers. Present them as selfish aristocrats who had no concern for the "common man".
31) Belittle all forms of American culture and discourage the teaching of American history on the ground that it was only a minor part of "the big picture:" Give more emphasis to Russian history since the Communists took over.
32) Support any socialist movement to give centralized control over any part of the culture - - education, social agencies, welfare programs, mental health clinics, etc.
33) Eliminate all laws or procedures, which interfere with the operation of the Communist apparatus.
34) Eliminate the House Committee on Un-American Activities.
35) Discredit and eventually dismantle the FBI
36) Infiltrate and gain control of more unions.
37) Infiltrate and gain control of big business
38) Transfer some of the powers of arrest from the police to social agencies. Treat all behavioral problems as psychiatric disorders which no one but psychiatrists can understand or treat.
39) Dominate the psychiatric profession and use mental health laws as a means of gaining coercive control over those who oppose Communist goals.
40) Discredit the family as an institution. Encourage promiscuity and easy divorce.
41) Emphasize the need to raise children away from the negative influence of parents. Attribute prejudices, mental blocks and retarding of children to suppressive influence of parents.
42) Create the impression that violence and insurrection are legitimate aspects of the American tradition; that students and special interest groups should rise up and make a "united force" to solve economic, political, or social problems.
43) Overthrow all colonial governments before native populations are ready for self-government.
44) Internationalize the Panama Canal.
45) Repeal the Connally Reservation so the US can not prevent the World Court from seizing jurisdiction over domestic problems. Give the World Court jurisdiction over domestic problems. Give the World Court jurisdiction over nations and individuals alike.

I have a Problem with the Episcopal Church

2004-05-12T13:42:00.000-05:00

I have trouble with the editorial in our local paper back a couple of months ago. I am a Christian with a relationship with the Creator of the Universe. I do believe that the God of the Bible does call on Christians to love all men and women equally, whether they are of any race, nationality or other dividing point. God even calls on Christian's to love the homosexual just as He calls us to love the heterosexual. We are to called to love all people because we are all sinners, and Christ sacrificed for ALL.
But I break with him because he goes on to condone sin and place unrepentant sinners over God's people. How can the church of Jesus Christ condone sin in the leaders of His Church? The Bible calls homosexuality a sin. Yes, the blood of Jesus forgives all sin. But First Timothy chapter five verses 20-22 says to reprimand those leaders who sin. Do it in front of everyone so that the other leaders will also be afraid, and don't be in a hurry to place your hands on anyone to ordain him. Don't participate in the sins of others. Keep yourself morally pure.
How can a denomination in the Church of Jesus Christ condone ordaining unrepentant sinners. How can Christian's who know God in a personal relationship ever condone that which is opposite all Truth and Goodness which God is?
