Wise Saying Worth Heeding Part XIII: Pray for America

Ronald Reagan once said,

"If we ever forget that we are One Nation Under God, then we will be a nation gone under.

No more perfect time could that be realized than right now, when our leaders are moving us ever further toward total dependence on the government and away from our reliance upon God our Creator for our needs.

So I ask you, won't you pray for America, that the people of this nation would never forget that we are 'One Nation Under God.' That is how the founders of this country envisioned it when they drafted and signed the Constitution of this Republic.

God bless you, and thank you for reading today!

Proof of America's Education Deficit...

And when I say "deficit," I mean learning the truth.

I recently noticed that my newest thread The Culture caught the eye of some clueless liberal, in which he felt compelled to respond...his response is as follows:

Excuse me...did not successive waves of immigrants land upon these shores with "differing cultures and lifestyles," specifically to escape the kind of repression in their land(s) of origin which Jeremiah now seems to espouse as the dictatorial, ideal societal structure? Survival of the first as opposed to survival of the fittest, eh? Let's stir that ol' Melting Pot, Jer. So long as it only has "American" cheese in it, apparently.

"RalphyFan," so he calls himself, makes the assumption that the very first settlers who came to America were of "differing backgrounds, differing cultures." In that case, I suggest that he remand such wording to his teachers, and tell them to get it right this time.

I would remind RalphyFan that immigrants from England to America in the 1500s-1600s, while they had differing work and work ethics, they had different tasks to perform, but in all of these different tasks, there was one and only one entity at work in their hearts and minds as they carried these duties and tasks out building the greatest nation on earth, and that was Almighty God, Creator of Heaven and Earth, and all of the Universe on display. From family government (which is actually where government starts), to Church (which is also self-governing), to Education, to Civil government (which is comprised of the Federal all the way down to the legislatures and town councils). Alright...in order for the three main institutions to remain strong and in their proper place, they must operate according to, and receive guidance from Scripture (the Bible), because they are man and human institutions, thus, they have delegated authority, because man cannot act independent of his Creator, and that's why I always make the case that there can be no "neutrality" when it comes to governing, no matter what institution(s) it or they may be, because we are dependent upon the independent, Autonomous and unlimited governing authority of God, our Creator.

Just to make that clear: You cannot govern without reliance upon Almighty God, because reason itself is governed by Him. Thus, without God, there is no reason, purpose or meaning in governing bodies, or life in general for that matter. It becomes chaos, which I will explain later on in more detail.

Ok, we shall proceed to the next...

He goes on to enumerate all the things he feels make up "culture." I'll spare you the gory details but just state, for the record, that there is very little therein that most of us would look upon as "cultural." He waxes lyrical on transportation, machines, tools, communications - all very utilitarian elements. Nothing at all about the things that supposedly make us "human." You know. Art. Music. Drama. Literature. For Jeremiah, "culture" is limited to expedience.

Perhaps our good "friend" RalphyFan needs to ask himself a most pertinent question. What gives art, music, drama, and literature their meaning? What, ultimately, is the driving force behind the things he's listed?

When we look at today's "artistry, musicals, dramas, and literature" we can see that, in all of it, to some degree or another, it has been touched by atheism. To better illustrate what I mean, I went several years ago to an art exhibition shop, the showcases for those who wish to sell their work and make a profit off it...and what I found was most interesting ... I looked as I entered the place, and there before me was three large size posters which had a mixture of paint that looked as if it has just been thrown or slung onto the paper, with a splat here, a splash here, and a streak there ... and I wonder ... what on earth? And you know, it took me several years to finally understand what was driving the minds behind such unartistic tapestry. I could tell right from the start, that what was being depicted by the minds of these paintings was a sense of meaninglessness. Which is what atheism really does, it creates in the minds and hearts of individuals who've indulged in every pleasure and then come away totally empty of any true meaning, in essence, devoid of a conscience, and therefore, they could not comprehend the purpose of their existence.

Perhaps RalphyFan would also like to take a look at the invention that is the camera, photography is supposed to be a form of "art" is it not? The camera is an amazing little tool, it's almost as if you can make time stand still...but it, as I explained, is like all things, it can be used for negative or positive, good or bad, right or wrong. For example, look at the pornography industry...I wonder how many families and lives that this practice has destroyed or ended? I don't think it would be an understatement to say, more than too many. How 'bout enough, let's say...to destroy America? Indeed! Hardly what we might call "art."

Oh, heavens forfend! How shall we preserve our pure selves from this scourge of Exposure To Other People's Ideas?

RalphyFan needs to understand that we are not "pure at heart," but that we are contaminated with the Adamic Nature (or Sin), but within each of us is our God-breathed spirit, or conscience as it were, that let's us know when what is right is right, and when what is wrong, is wrong...and we choose how we use this God-given gift. The problem being, then, is when we take no consideration for restraint with the parameters of right and wrong, and there are limits...and suffice it to say, there comes a point, when we no longer wish to operate within those limits that God will remove His calling, our conscience, to the wreckless abandon that we have chosen. Only those who trust in the One and Only Name of Jesus Christ, and studying His Word will escape this tragic fate. So we have to ask the question when dealing with other peoples ideas...Do they stack up to what the Word of God says? If they don't, then the Bible is very clear on this as well, that we are to have no part with them, as the result of being unequally yoked with them would be sheer chaos.

Except, er, no. I could expound on how many of the Founders were Deists rather than Christians in the Jeremian sense, and how insistent they were that no religious test be imposed for citizenship or public office...but he would hold his breath until he turned blue while I did so, and that would be counterproductive for us both.

It looks as though RalphyFan needs to go back and reread my post in its full context, instead of cherry-picking and going with what his left-wing atheist professors have told him, eh? Ah, "Counterproductive," he says ... well, I must agree. For he is a very inexperienced fellow in the fields of common sense and truth.
Find the truth and the truth will set you free, free indeed.

Jer then zeroes in on his targets: Herbert Marcuse, Margaret Sanger, and Madalyn Murray O'Hair. Marcuse, the enemy of capitalism (which of course Christ would have supported wholesale: might even have endorsed Madoff's scheme...); Sanger, persona non grata for advocating OBSCENITY! Oh, the horror; and of course O'Hair, giving prayers and Bible readings the boot from public schools which are not, after all, Sunday Schools. (Expletive) those uppity women speaking their minds!

Yes, indeed they spoke their minds...but now they tell a different story, and if only RalphyFan could listen to their story...he might have a different outlook on things. All three of them died lonely souls, and all because they chose to use their limited authority to satisfy themselves and their worldly pleasures, and it robbed them of the only gift they would ever have, eternal life. Pity!

OK, Jer. Apart from that being the longest run-on sentence ever memorialized on this Series Of Tubes...so many illogical leaps you hurdle, here, I can barely keep up. Tolerating multicultural points of view (which I would just observe, seems to work quite well up here in Godless Canada) apparently equates to Tolerating The Gay, to assuming that one faith has an historic right to promote itself without check, while all others are to just put up and shut up...

Take the scenario then, that RalphyFan puts forward for us...he says, "tolerating multicultural points of view works well in Canada," instead of using logic and facts, we see RalphyFan resorting to mere reaction, because he has an agenda, or desired outcome in mind, and what might this outcome be? If you look at it on eye level with the atheist himself, you can see very clearly that the answer is for that subversion to radical egalitarian philosophy that liberals use in the forefront to their ultimate goal of a communist society...we see this taking place in a variety of places that encompasses the globe, most notably here in the U.S., in Canada, and in Europe...and Europe has gone so far now that they're on their way out. But more to the point, where does each culture fall into the line of multiculturalist society? We have to remember that the pecking order is different under the governance of multiculturalist society...man ultimately becomes the centerpiece for all philosophying, governing and most all decision making in general, and dictates that all systems of thought or governing are "equal," but when we look deeper, just underneath the surface we see that this isn't true, those of us who are the most tolerant so to speak, are the ones who then become targets by the government and other agencies of earthly authority, object of ridicule, hate and a conceited effort to place man on a pedestal "higher than God." Just recently a young man in Toronto, Ontario-Canada had written an article for one of the magazines there...he faced prison time, and tremendous fines along the way. Is this the multiculturism of which RalphyFan seems to be so proud? Why, it is the very "put up and shut up" of which he speaks.

Are we seeing a pattern of self-imposed victimization here?

Actually, it is RalphyFan who is being victimized, yet he cannot see it because he is content living within that victimization, when he could have true freedom. Yet, he chooses to reject a God which he does not know, while fashioning his own god out of this small materialistic world.

From there, Jer goes on to quote chapter and verse for why he feels the need to incessantly prosyletize, and on the evils of idolatry. I'll skip the rant for the good bits: Our Educational Institutions have played the largest role in destroying this nation politically and philosophically, and who are the most vociferous proponents of multiculturalism as you can imagine, because it leads to the mixing up of cultures which leads to a polytheistic nation, which means "a belief in many gods," forcing the idea that all cultures are "equal" to each other, when in Wester Culture we know that not all cultures are ethically equal.

Well, I would contend that there is a right way and there is a wrong way to proselytize, and I would much rather proselytize for the One who has the Only ability to bring true peace and happiness, that being Jesus Christ Our Lord. He is, in essence, the true and Living water, and that Well never goes dry or stagnates. In the physical part, we always wind up thirsty again, because it is just temporary, and we have to drink often in order to maintain our equilibrium, which helps to supply oxygen to the blood, always the joints to move more easily, carries waste out of our system. It's the same way with our spiritual life, we must soak up the Word daily in order to help maintain purity of mind and heart as the Word helps to remind us of our true purpose in life, to be, as near as possible, like Jesus Christ.

Dear me, that we should be a "polytheistic nation." Oh, wait! We already are! Hate to break it to you, Jer, but I went though K-12 with Jewish kids. Yeah. They took off Yom Kippur and Rosh Hashanah. I bet you had a similar experience. Were you as outraged then as you are, now, online? Did their devotion to Yahweh over your Jesus (expletive) you off so much at the time? Noooo, I wonder if your ire isn't reserved for all that you perceive as totally "other" than your own beliefs. Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, Wicca, etc. If it doesn't touch upon Israel, it doesn't belong in "Wester" [sic.] culture.

Notice then the particular faith that RalphyFan wishes to level the bulk of his critique against...yep, you guessed it, none other than an atheist would, at Jesus and His followers. Why? It is for the fact that they recognizes the truth of Jesus' message, and they can't stand that with all passion. Suffice it to say, RalphFan goes off onto a hysterical rant about how he thinks I view other religions. It's evident that he has found pleasure in the material world of which he builds his worldview, yet he is empty inwardly. Devoid of a conscience. I don't know, maybe it's a waste of time to debate such farcical ramblings, but clearly, RalphyFan is a good example of dire situation that our world and especially our own world is in.

At the end of the day, Jer, you are one arrogant (expletive). Because you have the gall to try to dictate to others how they should live their lives according to your preferred beliefs. And, furthermore, to shunt the blame onto institutions that strive to be faith-blind, and deliver all kids a decent education rather than the Bible-thumping indoctrination you apparently would prefer.

You can sense the pain, can't you? Derelict, and without hope, he lashes out the only way a poor soul know how to spew hate and vitriol. However, he raises an interesting point ... he says "faith-blind," I'd say it's one thing to be faith-blind, but then it's quite another to be forced by the government to act as though you were "faith-blind." And in that, he is trying to defend the indefensible, trying to short-cut an All-Powerful Creator who deserves all praise and glory and honor.

I think it would be better to teach children in the admonition of the Scripture than it would be to lead them down a path like the one that the newest member of the Board of Education, Kevin Jennings wants them to go...as to promote these very immoral lifestyles that Kevin Jennings supports would lead to demonic forces overtaking the families of the children who are in the public schools, leading them into further into a life that would end their precious lives short of the mark to a sexually transmitted disease. So, it's false pretense to assume that our government run institutions of learning are delivering a "decent" education to children, and a very phony concept of what education is truly about.

Well, all for now. I may come back tomorrow and add or change some things. In the meantime, perhaps you would like to pay RalphFan a visit and let him now how you feel about some of his commentary on the subject at hand. I'm sure he would be glad to hear some of the noise from liberals, but equally the concern of those who do not share his views. You can find him here

Sarah Palin: A Step Towards True Science

Upon browsing the media for a little bit, I apparently receive this bit of information on what Sarah Palin thinks of the teaching of creationism (or intelligent design, if you have to subscribe to politically correct gobbledygook):

On Aug. 29, the Boston Globe reported that Palin was open to teaching creationism in public schools. That's true. She supports teaching creationism alongside evolution, though she has not actively pursued such a policy as governor.

In an Oct. 25, 2006, debate, when asked about teaching alternatives to evolution, Palin replied:

Palin, Oct. 25, 2006: Teach both. You know, don't be afraid of information. Healthy debate is so important and it's so valuable in our schools. I am a proponent of teaching both. And you know, I say this too as the daughter of a science teacher. Growing up with being so privileged and blessed to be given a lot of information on, on both sides of the subject – creationism and evolution. It's been a healthy foundation for me. But don't be afraid of information and let kids debate both sides.

A couple of days later, Palin amended that statement in an interview with the Anchorage Daily News, saying:

Palin, Oct. 2006: I don't think there should be a prohibition against debate if it comes up in class. It doesn't have to be part of the curriculum.

After her election, Palin let the matter drop. The Associated Press reported Sept 3: "Palin's children attend public schools and Palin has made no push to have creationism taught in them. ... It reflects a hands-off attitude toward mixing government and religion by most Alaskans." The article was headlined, "Palin has not pushed creation science as governor." It was written by Dan Joling, who reports from Anchorage and has covered Alaska for 30 years.

I think that the stance that Sarah Palin takes on the nefarious doctrine of Darwinism may be too gentle, but we have to keep in mind that she is in the field of politics, and if she took a hardline stance on the Truth, she'd have to contend with money raised for Iraq Hussein Osama by the teachers' unions and the scientists' unions. The passionate creationist may think that it would be foolish to compromise the Truth, and that she should come out completely against Darwinism. However, a pragmatical and eucuenemical approach to the situation is that Sarah Palin would probably not receive significantly more funds from her main constituencies that push for it (evangelical churches and organizations), and a hardline stance against Darwinism would undoubtely push the teachers' unions to donate even more money to the Democrats. (Personally, I think that privatizing the schools, or at least allowing school choice, would be the best course of action in the long run; in this way, the teachers' unions won't be able to influence the minds of our children. However, this would be even worse news for Sarah Palin.) (It would be unwise to forget the power the teachers' unions hold over our nation. Thanks to a Democrat Congress, not even the Great Reagan could smash them, and they continue to grow to this day.)

However, Sarah Palin's stance on the issue, even if it fails to completely satisfy our thirsts, is still reasonable, especially when compared to the Darwinists that advocate censorship of any other view that even questions the idiotic belief. Those that dare to take a hardline stance against Darwinism are often persecuted, and people that support Creationist thought are often shut out from secular organizations altogether. Darwinism is firmly ingrained in the lifeblood of our high school and college institutions, and to insinuate that we topple it immediately and with haste would likely end to our untimely demise, with another Kitzmiller v Dover throwing us off our guard.

Instead, Sarah Palin's support of mandating that Creationism at least be allowed to be discussed by the children is much more pragmatic. The mind of a child is a terrible thing to brainwash, and any steps that we can take at all to stop this tragedy would be an excellent thing. Ideally, the children who wish to debate Creationism will be given material that supports Creationism, along with the rest of the class; similarly, in order to appease the Darwinist mongrels, we'll have to give out similar sheets.

In order to get this into our schools, I think that we should have a referendum that allows this measure to be placed in to our schools, with the voting occuring by county. This will allow the most children of the United States to be influence by Creationism. In fact, if we use this method, some counties can even dispose of Darwinism entirely.

A President Palin, and possibly a President McCain influenced by a Vice President Palin, would surely allow at least this referendum to be voted on; a President Osama or a President Hidin would do their darndest to stop it. Now that we have a fairly conservative Supreme Court, they may also make no effort to stop it. As for the legislative, I don't think the Democrats should be permitted, by the law, to attempt to undermine it; after all, they are the ones that believe that the judicial branch should pass the law, and that the legislative branch should not interfere with it (as several of them have expressed over California's Proposition 8, which would rightfully ban gay marriage, and Proposition 4, which would at least require parents to be notified before their disgraceful daughters receive an abortion). If they tried to undermine it via the legislature, I think that a President Palin would call them out.

Under no circumstances would a President Palin mean that the grassroots can stop working to take over school boards, however. What President Palin would do is protect the rights of the grassroots to do what they want to do; a Commie Fascist Obama would work to silence these Americans. The Christian Coalition succeeded because of a combination of grassroots effort and the Republican Party leadership's apathy; the grassroots will be the ones to establish Creationism in our schools, with President Palin fending off the Darwinist hoards that try to steal our children's minds for their loot.

May Creationism reign supreme one day, and may Darwinism be cast into the dustbin of history!

Isaiah 5:20
Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; Who substitute darkness for light and light for darkness; Who substitute bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter!

The Christian's Obligation

As a recent survey points out, Americans are divided evenly on the issue of homosexuality, and this is a sign that the acceptance of immorality in our society is becoming or has already become first place in peoples' hearts and minds. Why? You ask...For many reasons, attributed to the same group of ideologues called Liberal Democrats, just call them plainly - 'Democrats', because the whole of the Democrat party has become a whole sort of nastiness. The problem in a nutshell, is the Democrats have a most insane set of opinions, opinions that are anti-America and anti-Christian and anti-Family, of course, anti-Christian and anti-Family comprises most of their agenda. So, how did they create this mess? They took God and shoved Him out of our schools, good Christian people who taught good, wholesome values to our children...pushed out. "We hate ya. We don't want ya!" and you can see what has happened, can't you? The hate has pervaded the minds of our children...the children then grow up thinking they have an easy road ahead, and they say, "There's nothing to worry about, I can always depend on the government", and the government does, they hand them all the money they need to murder their little babies, to fund for diseases that they've gotten from being taught they can have sex any time they want too...the government's going to have to stop this funding and tell the people, say, "Hey, if you don't want to get a disease, or don't want to have a children, then don't have sex until you're ready to be committed to your husband or wife...but they won't, they'll just keep handing them the free dough, and the diseases will continue to spread, and babies will continue to be murdered on a daily basis.... and ...generation afer generation, America becomes weaker, and with scornful eyes other countries watch as America comes to Her demise. You know, America once looked to God, and peace filled the land with a harmony of working families going about their everyday happy lives...rejoicing and praising God for everything they had. Now, people just can't seem to get enough fame, money, riches, sex and material pleasure....and they don't want God anymore. Well, I'll tell you, God doesn't like what He sees, and He may get angry at America, unless people wake up! If you think these tornadoes and wildfires and earthquakes are bad...then you haven't seen anything compared to God's Awesome Mighty hand of power come to force!

We can avoid God's anger, if we'll only seek Him and ask Him for guidance.

Many churches (Church pastors, Youth leaders, Counsellors, and Congregations) are partly to blame as well, because too many church leaders are accepting the homosexual lifestyle as "normal" or "ok", and you have half the congregation for homosexuality and half against homosexuality.....this severely weakens the message and influence of the church, and it severely weakens society too. And that's what I mean, you see, that's why America is failing, because too many church leaders won't step to the plate with the courage to challenge their members morally.......In order to make a difference, you must be ROCK solid on what God's Word says......When God's Word says it's Wrong.....It's WRONG! And homosexuality is deathly WRONG!! And there's no earthly man that can change what God's Word says. PERIOD!

So, to all you churches out there, listen up....America's future is dependent upon you, and all Christians, everywhere, as God's messengers to get the message out, and put our foot down about the damage that homosexuals and homosexuality are doing to America! If you love America, and you love God, you will challenge and warn them about these dangers!

God bless!

Time - What It's Worth

My Dear Readers,

I just wanted to take enough time to extend you an apology for not being able to spend more time fighting the good fight in the Culture War in the blogosphere. However, there has been much needed time that I had passed up during the past that I could have been doing more important things, things that I have neglected to take into consideration, things that should come first in our lives - like spending spare time with our families which is the central pillar of support of every institution in any society, without the family, every society crumbles, and will crumble.

In this; I have failed, dear friends, it seemed to me like the time I spent on the blogosphere took "top priority" when I should have been encouraging those who always looked up to me - consequently - my shortcoming became the downfall of my dear brother Lucas...As you may know, I informed you that Lucas has become addicted to alcohol, and I believe much of the reason for his addiction is where I have failed to do my part and spending quality time with him trying to explain the facts of life to him. This is one of the main reasons I haven't spent nearly as much time blogging lately as I have in the past, and have come today to inform you that I won't be blogging nearly at former rates. Lately, I have spent much lost time weeping and praying daily for God's grace and mercy. And you know, it seems this time of sorrow in my life has drawn me closer to the Lord - I have gained much needed peace and strength from my daily devotions.

Please do continue to remember Lucas in your prayers.

What is time worth to you?

Well, for me at least, lately it has meant...It's how you use your time that makes all the difference, what we may think is worth more at the spare of the moment in our own thinking, that isn't always going to be the case....but if we listen to what the Lord is trying to tell us, then life can be much brighter and happier not just for ourselves, but for others as well, who need our support through our faith and devotion in prayer.

See y'all around!

God bless!

Obama's Doctrine Of "Salvation"...

GREENSBORO, N.C. -

Senator Barack Obama has told an audience that although he believes Christ died for his sins, those who reject that teaching can also be children of God.

This is another of the many reasons that Obama cannot be trusted to be our next President. It's clearly obvious that Obama has not a personal relationship with Our Creator through remarks such as the out-and-out lie he told the audience in N.C.

Jesus said - 'No one cometh unto the Father except through Me and in the book of Acts chapter 4 10-12 - 'Let it be made known to you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead, by Him this man stands here before you whole. This is the 'stone which was rejected by you builders, which has become the chief cornerstone.' Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.

'No other name.' So that tells you plainly, Obama is not a true Christian by any stretch of the imagination.

Without a personal commitment to God one cannot be a Leader. Leadership comes through the guidance of God Almighty in one's life, such as was the case for our Founding Fathers, who depended solely on Almighty God for their sustenance and Supreme Leadership - God spoke through them, and that's what made such eloquent words of True Hope come from such outstanding Leaders of their day and age. It was their belief in Jesus Christ, God's One and Only Son who made their existence possible to freely exercise thier God-given right to worship and govern in this blessed land we call 'America.'

I wonder more and more about some people in America every day...In understanding at how anyone could even remotely with honesty say that they think "Obama would make a good President." On the other hand, however, I can understand why...with the Liberal dominated educational system...it's no wonder so many are so misinformed on right from wrong in that respect. Just a hand full of Liberal indoctrinators' and you can ruin an entire Nation of people; which is exactly what has happened to America since the mid 1960s...but did it really all start in the 60s? No, actually, it was at least about 4 decades earlier, in the 1920s when the Evil forces of the ACLU (comprised primarily of militant Atheist activists) which became established on American soil, hence, 4 short decades proved to be disaster with their harmful intellectual debilitating influence spreading throughout America to every state, thus, we are now faced with large enough problem that Americans of every background who consider themselves Christians will have to take a stand against them if we are to make a difference for the bettering of America--or acqueicse into a Socialist state of darkness where it will no longer be possible for Christians to have their freedom that was so honorably fought and died for and handed on to us by our Forefathers for us to do the very same thing, because that's the only way that freedom is possible - is to stand up for it, like you mean it, and not put off another day and another and another...and before you know it the country has been destroyed ... That's the reason they knew they had to stand up and fight for Christian freedom, because Christ gave His all for all men to be free. So too, we must do the same, or lose and defame all that they fought to give us.

I've heard it said so many times by the Liberals that society has "changed" from what it was during the 17th, 18th centuries? Well, yes it has, but it hasn't been "good" change ... we are a morally bankrupt Nation compared to what we were in the early twentieth century, and are on a steady downward slide toward the infamous days of Sodom and Gomorrah ... Yet we've only seen the tip of the iceberg as to what's to come.

We, as True Believers, however, have hope ... So keep the faith, and stand up, for we know not what tomorrow may bring!

Feel free to share your commentary...

God bless!

CA home school mom says, 'We will have to move'

The sad reality...

"We will not give up home schooling our child," she states. "If it means moving from out of state, however we have to do that, we will do it because that is what we feel that God has called us to do."

It's really hard to imagine what our times have come to; a little over a hundred years ago and our children would be sitting in classroom in which the teachers set aside time for the children to learn about the Bible. Schools in colonial America, at the time, were controlled by Christians, because the State had not been formed yet. This being the case; the textbooks that were in use are as follows -

The New England Primer in 1690.

After the American Revolution, Noah Webster created a textbook in which he called the Blue Book Speller.

McGuffey Reader in 1836.

Even after this, by 1900, other text books that were in use, all had Bible quotes in them to teach morality to the children. As we will find, this all changed shortly after the out-set of the 20th century...

At the start of the 20th Century, many if not all schools started their day with the Pledge of Allegiance and a reading from the Bible.
The first fracture in the moral teachings of the public school system occurred in 1925, when the newly formed ACLU paid a teacher in Tennessee to teach evolution.
At that time; all schools throughout America taught Biblical Creation, and it was against the Tennessee state law to teach evolution. However, Within a short 4 decades, the laws were reversed, Creation was outlawed, and Evolution was made madatory. The ACLU started using the Courts then to change school policy. In 1948, the Supreme Court used the "Seperation of Church and State" argument, or lie rather, to ban school prayer, in 1962 the Supreme Court once again declared that prayer in school was unconsitutional, which was about the time Madeline Murray O'Hair took her case before the Supreme Court. Shortly after, in Kentucky, in 1980 (Stone vs. Graham), the Supreme Court declared that posting the Ten Commandments in school classrooms "violated" the Constitution.

The harmful effects created by the ACLU and Supreme Court ruling was such that, our children are demanded to conform to the Left-wing ideology of the ACLU where Liberal courts prevail all across the country, such as in California where they've recently made the ruling to force children into the public school system of Left-wing brainwashing - such an agenda includes - Sexual education, where children are taugt about sex at an early age, leading them into fornication. The homosexual agenda, very radical, demon possessed, hate-filled groups who seek to silence people of faith, and teach children a deviant lifestyle, wherein, shows the responsibilities of the parent that were neglected at home. All these factors are factual examples of the some of the things that are contributing to low SAT scores, because if you think about it, when children are exposed to a curriculum that will otherwise take their attention from, or neglecting the needed things to get them through everyday life, like reading, writing, and math, and teaching them morals to make civil citizens, then they're being robbed of their future. They were better off before they entered the public school system, which is considered to be evil nowadays in my opinion....But in reality, it's not the public school buildings that are the harm, they're just buildings meant for teaching children, it's the people who do the teaching that is the problem, and the problem at its roots is those who make the decisions for our public schools, which is the ACLU...The ACLU is a curse on American soil. Oh how I wish we could be rid of the ACLU!!! It is my earnest prayer now, that we can somehow, some way, defeat the ACLU for the good of our Nation, and especially for our childrens sake.

The ACLU ruined everything that made America great at one time in history, in going against everything that the Founders intended for the New America, and...

Just to give one an idea of how the Founding Fathers regarded Christianity and the important role Christianity played in government and our civil institutions, here are some of the quotes from our Founding Fathers...

(Ed note: Please note, when one of the Founder's said "religion" they always referred to Christians and Christianity).

John Adam's once said - We have no government armed with power capable of contending with human passions unbridled by morality and religion . . . Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other."

James Madison - "We have staked the whole future of American civilization, not upon the power of government, far from it. We have staked the future of all our political institutions upon the capacity of mankind for self-government; upon the capacity of each and all of us to govern ourselves, to control ourselves, to sustain ourselves according to the Ten Commandments ."

Benjamin Rush, Signer of the Declaration of Independence said. "[T]he only foundation for a useful education in a republic is to be aid in religion. Without this there can be no virtue, and without virtue there can be no liberty, and liberty is the object and life of all republican governments. Without religion, I believe that learning does real mischief to the morals and principles of mankind."

Noah Webster, author of the first American Speller and the first Dictionary said, "[T]he Christian religion, in its purity, is the basis, or rather the source of all genuine freedom in government. . . . and I am persuaded that no civil government of a republican form can exist and be durable in which the principles of that religion have not a controlling influence."
Gouverneur Morris, Penman and Signer of the Constitution. "[F]or avoiding the extremes of despotism or anarchy . . . the only ground of hope must be on the morals of the people. I believe that religion is the only solid base of morals and that morals are the only possible support of free governments. [T]herefore education should teach the precepts of religion and the duties of man towards God."

Fisher Ames author of the final wording for the First Amendment wrote, "[Why] should not the Bible regain the place it once held as a school book? Its morals are pure, its examples captivating and noble. The reverence for the Sacred Book that is thus early impressed lasts long; and probably if not impressed in infancy, never takes firm hold of the mind."

John Jay, Original Chief-Justice of the U. S. Supreme Court , "The Bible is the best of all books, for it is the word of God and teaches us the way to be happy in this world and in the next. Continue therefore to read it and to regulate your life by its precepts."

James Wilson, Signer of the Constitution; U. S. Supreme Court Justice, "Human law must rest its authority ultimately upon the authority of that law which is divine. . . . Far from being rivals or enemies, religion and law are twin sisters, friends, and mutual assistants. Indeed, these two sciences run into each other."

Noah Webster, author of the first American Speller and the first Dictionary stated, "The moral principles and precepts contained in the scriptures ought to form the basis of all our civil constitutions and laws. . . All the miseries and evils which men suffer from vice, crime, ambition, injustice, oppression, slavery, and war, proceed from their despising or neglecting the precepts contained in the Bible."

Robert Winthrop, Speaker of the U. S. House, "Men, in a word, must necessarily be controlled either by a power within them or by a power without them; either by the Word of God or by the strong arm of man; either by the Bible or by the bayonet."

George Washington, General of the Revolutionary Army, president of the Constitutional Convention, First President of the United States of America, Father of our nation, " Religion and morality are the essential pillars of civil society."

Benjamin Franklin, Signer of the Declaration of Independence "[O]nly a virtuous people are capable of freedom. As nations become corrupt and vicious, they have more need of masters."

"Whereas true religion and good morals are the only solid foundations of public liberty and happiness . . . it is hereby earnestly recommended to the several States to take the most effectual measures for the encouragement thereof." Continental Congress, 1778

Those are just a tiny sampling of the thousands and thousands of documents by our Founding Fathers, and their teaching the importance of the Christian Truth and morality for a civil body government and citizenry, quite simply, for the survival of the Nation.

Very different from today, the Courts in this country have barred God and anything to do with Chrisianity from our public schools and filled them with the evil of Atheism. When we do this, then America is on the road to disaster, and we are getting closer by the day to that moment.

God help us as a Nation! Pray for America!

Secular America Today; Compared To Our Christian Past

Christian Nation vs. Secularist Nation.

The most deplorable aspect of this assault of the secular theory of civil government on our Christian institutions, however, is the fact that so many professing Christians have been led to join the ranks of the assailants. It seems almost incredible that men who accept the moral laws of the Christian religion, and who desire to honor Christ as King, can so far ignore our history as a nation founded on Christian truth, and be so blind to the teachings of sound political science, and the inevitable logic of secularism, as to strike hands with the aggressive movement that cannot rest until it accomplishes the utter de-Christianization of our institutions.

What happened?

It is true that government cannot teach morality or the merits of Christianity, the problem being - without a sound belief in the doctrine and teachings of the Bible, government has no place to rest upon for its foundation, in other words, government without Biblical laws is weak government; thereby, creating room for division. It is impossible to govern without Christianity, because it is Christianity from which the law was derived...The reason for this, is because there were some 2,000 years of Biblical laws before the Founders backing there judgment holding government together, and they knew that if that's what got them to where they were, then it is a must that they follow the same path, lest they be destroyed before they ever even made a start for America. One way, the best way we can look at it, is through the words of some of the very first Founding documents...

Some call him the "Father" of our Nation, George Washington ... He can be accredited for more than just our first President though...more to the point, he knew that unless there was a strong connection between government and God's Word, there was no way we could stand, as well as Ben Franklin, John Adams, and Thomas Jefferson, just to name a few..and again, this proves that we were founded on Christianity, because all of the Founders, not just a few, but all of them, knew there was a power source much greater than themselves, and that the only way government could survive was through a dedication to that, and one Supreme Court ruling is indeniable truth of these historical facts...

It is more than just interesting to note that whenever the founding fathers wrote about "religion", they almost always were referring to "Christianity". Nearly a hundred years later, in the U.S. Supreme Court case of Church of the Holy Trinity vs. U.S.(1892) cited 87 historical precedents in its conclusion that, "Our laws and institutions must necessarily be based upon and embody the teachings of the Redeemer of mankind. It is impossible that it should be otherwise. In this sense and to this extent, our civilization and our institutions are emphatically Christian." (italics mine) Although we hear much today about "the separation of church and state" , you will not find that phrase or that intent in the U.S. constitution. In fact, in an 1811 U.S. Supreme Court case (People vs.Ruggles) the court declared against a man for profaning Jesus Christ and the Bible, ruling that "whatever strikes at the root of Christianity tends manifestly to the dissolution of civil government.

Did you take notice what the Judge said there, Our Laws and institutions ... must be based upon and embody the teachings of the Redeemer of mankind. It is impossible that it should be otherwise, because anything that would sever the connection between government and Christianity would be disasterous, because it would lead to mass moral degeneration...mor aptly termed - 'Chaos.'

Ben Franklin ... Once, when breakdown in the constitutional debates seemed imminent, he cooled the passions and restored the perspective of the delegates: 'Our different sentiments on almost every question,' he said, '...is methinks a meloncholy proof of the imperfection of human understanding. We indeed seem to feel our own want of political sidom, since we have been running about in search of it...I have lived,sir, a long time, and the longer I live, the more convincing proofs I see of this truth-- that God governs in the affairs of men. And if a sparrow cannot fall to the ground without His notice,is it probable that an empire can rise without His aid? We have been assurde, Sir, in the sacrted writings, that 'except the Lord building the house, they labour in vain that build it.' I firmly believe this; and I also believe that without His concurring aid we shall succeed in this political building no better than the builders of Babel: We shall be divided by our little partial local interests; our projects will be confounded, and we ourselves shall become a reproach and bye word down to future ages. And what is worse, mankind may hereafter from this unfortunate instance despair of establishing governments by human wisdom and leave it to chance, war, and conquest. ' I therefore beg leave to move-- that henceforth prayers imploring the assistance of Heaven, and its blessings on our deliberations be held in this Assembly every morning before we proceed to business...' "

To this day, every morning Congress has prayer before they take session. Above the Chief Justice's chair, hangs a copy of the Ten Commandments.

On to John Adams...

February 22, 1756, puts it in perspective. "Suppose a nation in some distant region should take the Bible for their only law-book, and every member would be obliged, in conscience, to temperence and frugality and industry; to justice and kindness and charity towards his fellow men; and to piety, love and reverence towards Almighty God. In this commonwealth, no man would impair his healht by gluttony, drunkenness, or lust; no man would sacrifice his most precious time to cards or any other trifling and mean amusement; no man would steal, or lie, in any way defraud his neigbor, but would live in peace and good will with all men; no man would blaspheme hi Maker or profane hi worship; but a rational and manly, a sincere and unafected piety and devotion would reign in all hearts. What a utopia; what a paradise would this region be!

Our Nation has to take a step back now, and see where they messed up in their thinking, When was it? Well, according to my age, it would be waaay back, as early as 1920 at the Founding of the ACLU, a Socialist organization whose main purpose is to abolish Christianity from the public square.
Christian Freedom has steadily declined since that day in 1920 to the present day. The ACLU has conived and sought every avenue at their disposal in which to undermine and thwart Christianity's influence on society, and one of their main strong points is through our Supreme Courts as an easy shot in their pursuits... such as in the Cross on the beach in Virginia case(PDF files).

Political activism has been an even worse assault on our Christian heritage by the ACLU, as they lobby for politicians running for office who suit their anti-Christian, hatemongering views, a live-wire for the destruction of America. Take for example Hillary R. Clinton, Barack H. Obama, Ted Kennedy, Jack (John) Murtha, Harry Reid, Diane Feinstein, John Kerry, Robert C. Byrd, Barbara Boxer, Charles (Chuck) Schumer, John D. Rockefeller .... All advocates for the ACLU lawyers who seek to banish Christianity by way of law.

So, in actuality, it is the ACLU which is anti-government, simply because they are anti-Christian, anyone who is against Christianity is against government, against America. Just as the founder of the ACLU's own words, I am for Socialism, I am against America. And those were his own words. The ACLU has taken their position against America through their interpretation of "Seperation of Church and State." How? By using the State to do the very thing that the First Amendment strictly forbids, which says in the first half of the first amendment - or prohibiting the free exercise thereof ... And what is the State doing whenever they demand by the State that we remove symbols and demand that we stop preaching to the lost? They are violating our First amendment rights when they file lawsuits saying that "we cannot" erect crosses by the roadside ... and these lawsuits aren't even half the freedoms that the ACLU has stolen from us, and will continue to steal as long as Christians allow them too.

Wait! Maybe that's the problem ... Maybe it's because the majority of Americans as a whole could not care less about what the ACLU does, or how much freedom they take away ... You reckon that's it? Maybe the American people are moving away from the moral worth that the Bible has to keep America together. Maybe it's because America has accepted the lie of "tolerance" that the left advocates for.

Friends, my Christian brothers and sisters, we can't allow the ACLU to keep spreading their propaganda, and destroying America the way they're doing. We can't allow the ACLU and their cohorts the Liberal Left-wing in this country deceive people through their lie of tolerance and diversity, because tolerance for deviant lifestyles will only lead the State further depress freedom of speech. That is their primary goal, is to silence Christians, and then the State can do whatever they please, and the Sodomites can live however they want, abortions on demand. No law. Inescapable moral chaos!

Should freedom mean that people can do whatever they want without any restraint, without any responsibility to their fellow citizens....or even the government?

We have so-called "Christians" proclaiming the Divinity of Jesus as King, but yet, they don't want to serve Him, they don't want to proclaim the freedom that we have through our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

We go to Church to know the will of God for our lives, and to learn about what Jesus taught us we should do...we go to school to learn to read, write, do math, speak english, know history, do geometry, an assortment of different things we learn, the problem is, modern day skeptics or Secularists, by and large Atheists decided that the Founders were "wrong" and that after 500 years they've got it "right." The difference being, the Founders accomplished more through prayer, and a Bible class, than the Atheists will ever dream about doing, an Atheist, he can sit and spin the subject all day long, when the Founders already had the answer to their problems. You see, friends, Atheists will always have new answers, they'll never be consistent, and they'll never be right ... until ... they acknowledge the Divine Providence of Almighty God.

Closing

To Christian Conservatives: We need to speak out for the true freedom of our fellow Christians, or they're going to be taken away--The Scripture says in Proverbs 31:8 - Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves, for the rights of all who are destitute. Namely the little innocent children in the womb, and for each other.

God bless!

Jeremiah

Very Good To Know ... LAUS DEO!

LAUS DEO.. A WONDERFUL BIT OF HISTORY..

I realize that some, if not all of you, know the information contained here, but it is good that we are all reminded of it on occasion.

One detail that is never mentioned is that in Washington , DC there can never be a building of greater height than the Washington Monument. With all the uproar about removing the ten commandments, etc., this is worth a moment or two of your time. I was not aware of this amazing historical information.

On the aluminum cap, atop the Washington Monument in Washington , DC , are displayed two words: Laus Deo.

No one can see these words. In fact, most visitors to the monument are totally unaware they are even there and for that matter, probably couldn't care less.


Once you know Laus Deo's history , you will want to share this with everyone you know. These words have been there for many years; they are 555 feet, 5.125 inches high, perched atop the monument, facing skyward to the Father of our nation, overlooking the 69 square miles which comprise the District of Columbia , capital of the United States of America .

Laus Deo! Two seemingly insignificant, unnoticed words. Out of sight and, one might think, out of mind, but very meaningfully placed at the highest point over what is the most powerful city in the most successful nation in the world.

So, what do those two words, in Latin, composed of just four syllables and only seven letters, possibly mean? Very simply, they say "Praise be to God!"

Though construction of this giant obelisk began in 1848, when James Polk was President of the United States , it was not until 1888 that the monument was inaugurated and opened to the public. It took twenty-five years to finally cap the memorial with a tribute to the Father of our nation, Laus Deo. "Praise be to God!"

From atop this magnificent granite and marble structure, visitors may take in the beautiful panoramic view of the city with its division into four major segments. From that vantage point, one can also easily see the original plan of the designer, Pierre Charles l'Enfant .. a perfect cross imposed upon the landscape, with the White House to the north. The Jefferson Memorial is to the south, the Capitol to the east and the Lincoln Memorial to the west.


A cross you ask? Why a cross? What about separation of church and state? Yes, a cross; separation of church and state was not, is not, in the Constitution. So, read on. How interesting and, no doubt, intended to carry a profound meaning for those who bother to notice.

Within the monument itself are 898 steps and 50 landings. As one climbs the steps and pauses at the landings the memorial stones share a message.

On the 12th Landing is a prayer offered by the City of Baltimore ;
on the 20th is a memorial presented by some Chinese Christians;
on the 24th a presentation made by Sunday School children from New York and Philadelphia quoting Proverbs 10:7, Luke 18:16 and Proverbs 22:6. Praise be to God!

When the cornerstone of the Washington Monument was laid on July 4th, 1848 deposited within it were many items including the Holy Bible presented by the Bible Society. Such was the discipline, the moral direction, and the spiritual mood given by the founder and first President of our unique democracy "One Nation, Under God."

I am awed by Washington 's prayer for America Have you ever read it? Well, now is your unique opportunity, so read on!

"Almighty God; We make our earnest prayer that Thou wilt keep the United States in Thy holy protection; that Thou wilt incline the hearts of the citizens to cultivate a spirit of subordination and obedience to government; and entertain a brotherly affection and love for one another and for their fellow citizens of the United States at large. And finally that Thou wilt most graciously be pleased to dispose us all to do justice, to love mercy, and to demean ourselves with that charity, humility, and pacific temper of mind which were the characteristics of the Divine Author of our blessed religion, and without a humble imitation of whose example in these things we can never hope to be a happy nation. Grant our supplication, we beseech Thee, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen."
Laus Deo!

It is hoped you will send this to every child you know; to every sister, brother, father, mother or friend. They will not find offense, because you have given them a lesson in history that they probably never learned in school. With that, be not ashamed, or afraid, but have pity on those who will never see this because someone failed to send it on.
