Feeling Sorry For Yourself?

What a wonderful testimony!

You know, in a country riddled with atheistic principles and unborn children being aborted right out of their mothers wombs ... we find in this young man's life story that no, abortion isn't necessary, and yes ... we do have a Creator!

When Tragedy Strikes...How Do You Respond?

You know, it seems there's been a lot of tragedy lately, with the terrible storms and wildfires in the States...to the tragic earthquake that struck China taking the lives of over 12,000+ people.



I thought this would be an opportune time ask the question - We never know when tragedy will strike, but in the event that it does...How do we cope? It's something we need to think about...Here's a good example...



Part 2

From: YOUTUBE.

As Tammy explains, we can't go through lifes journey on our own ... We must lift our hearts to Jesus and He will give us that peace and comfort in our lives!

What's even more, there's always that chance that we could become a victim ourselves not realizing it ... and even more than how we would cope with a loss... how are our hearts prepared to stand before the Judge?

Are you ready to meet Him?

With prayers...God bless!

Why War?

Folks often wonder why war is necessary, why there is so much blood-shed, and how it can be avoided. Well, I’ve come today to give the reasons I see as would be necessary and just-worthy cause to lead a nation or nations to war. I may not be able to settle all the answers, but perhaps, at very least, enough to solve a few un-answered questions that some might have regarding the necessities for it, and how we might avoid it.

The first point I want to emphasize with regards to why wars are begun and I cannot stress this enough – War has its beginnings, or roots rather, from the beginning of time, it is traced back to the first man Adam who by his transgressing against the all-powerful authority of Almighty God, cursed all mankind down through the ages, which is our inheritance from age to age, and therefore, it is a struggle between ideology (fleshly desires/man’s ideas), and/or spiritual differences. Thus, we have those who desire oppression and those who desire Liberty, in essence, the more wholesome word we use as Americans, Freedom.

The Bible is an inexhaustible source of truth that will lead us to numerous wars that took place during that particular era of time, in which the evils that pervaded societies, called for some sort of action be taken to restore humility and justice, so that those societies could be freed from the shackles of despair which entangled them. For example – In the book of Joshua, chapter 6, we find Joshua led an army consisting of the Israelites. Now, before I comment any further regarding this war that Joshua set out to do, these were God’s commands given to Joshua and his army by way of angelic revelation, Commander of the Lord’s army. This particular battle was the battle at Jericho…What were the people of Jericho doing that would warrant war to overtake them? Quite succinctly, because they were worshipping false idols, that led them to do evil things. In order to have a better understanding of this, we must start in Exodus and read through to the book of Joshua, which is the time of Moses until God gives Joshua Moses’ inheritance and beyond. This was during the time period when God had set His Laws and commands in place and anyone that broke those laws and chose to defy God would be overtaken. From the time of Adam man set out to do things in his own manner, choosing to do things that were displeasing to God, such as Pharaoh who held God’s people in bondage, and God commanded Aaron to meet Moses in the wilderness so that Moses could tell Aaron the word of the Lord and all the signs which he had commanded him. In the instance of Pharaoh God did not command an army, but struck Egypt with plagues.

So, why did these conflicts arise that called for the destruction of these places? The question can be answered in that, even though God loved mankind enough to give him a home here on earth … through free will, man used his sense of choice to work toward goals opposite from the goals which God had in mind for them to do, which was to uplift and glorify Him in all they done, so that they could be blessed in everything. It’s really not so simply stated if you look at it in the context from which we gain standards of morality and hope from, in our everyday lives, those standards can only be met when one acknowledges that a Higher Power works to the benefit of the individual.

When we forsake our guidance in Almighty God and follow the desires of the flesh, in whatever way the flesh leads us, we wonder about in all different directions, and our mind has nothing that conforms to the ideals of humility and kindness to lead us in the way we should go, and therefore, un-necessary oppression and suffering occur. Why? Because the oppressors which are guided by their own vices, who don’t believe in a Higher Power are driven by a sense of superiority to the rest of mankind, who has feelings that the oppressor does not wish to take into consideration…In other words, there is no sense of right or wrong in the individual who does not acknowledge their source of hope.

All down through the ages, through Biblical times which we were graciously afforded a record of the ‘do’s’ and ‘don’ts’ per se, we have the opportunity to learn from former generations, where by events that unfolded, we learn that people purposely made the mistake of thinking that they could subjugate (Power by force) their own Nation of people into a set agenda or ideology that granted them control over the masses by human dictatorship. We often call this form of rule today, as – Socialism. Socialism is a similar type of system that was found during Pharaoh’s time of rule, in which the peoples’ reliance was solely in the State to provide their needs for survival, it must be stressed that in this form of rule it is always dependent upon the dictates of the State whether the people prospered or failed. However, as history has proven, in all cases where Socialism was the rule, no nation of people has ever been happy within its cold grips. It is then noted that the peoples cry for mercy is as if they were never heard, being, in essence, silenced, to suffer at the hands of the State, whom, by their own judgment, deem the quantity of their inheritance absolute, therefore, not in any certain terms guaranteeing prosperity for their people, but in most cases, we’ve learned that the State prospers with great abundance, leaving their people deprived of their rights to Liberty and ownership of property, without suffrage (right of decision).

This horrible injustice can be found in the not so distant annals of world history, a man who is known the world over for his reign as the most brutal dictator along with two others of similar ideology, Stalin and Lenin. Adolph Hitler, not only took the rights of property away, he took his ideology into a murderous rage, as being responsible for the deaths of over 11 million Jews – We know this injustice as the Holocaust.

It’s the ideologies of people like Hitler and Stalin that lead to war, because not only are property rights on the line, but life and limb also, in the struggle to preserve your life. You see, to understand why an injustice like Hitler’s despotic rule can…It all goes back as I mentioned earlier to the afore-mentioned account of original sin when mankind through free-will (free-will is the key phrase here), made the [choice], as choice is what defines free-will, chose to disregard a power greater than himself, a Power that rules the entire earth and universe. No man has authority on earth, no man. We are placed on earth, and appointed to do God’s Will … you see, this is where Hitler proved he had no regard or respect for this Higher Authority over him, and likewise those who followed him and carried out his insane orders.

Don’t you see the link here? Any Nation or Nations that do not submit to a Higher Authority, chaos becomes as a result of that Nation.

I have no authority, and it’s not what I think that is best for the world, but the One who has the power over me.

People who wage war are those who seek to defend their Liberty from oppressors like Hitler, and likewise, to free those who are under Hitler’s tyrannizing forces, and for those who work to this end, God’s Mighty right hand is working on their behalf. Why? Because they seek to do what He desires from His position as truth for all ages, and not what “they” want, personally…and for people to be what? To have freedom, and to understand that He is their peace that they had longed for so desperately when they needed Him the most. God wants our attention. He is needed in every step of progress that we take in the world. He is our only progress. He governs/rules the world, not us.

Finally, yes, war is sometimes inevitable, but it can be avoided. How? To recognize that God does not want us to aimlessly kill for “convenience” or because someone was considered “inconvenient” to us, no, we are to cherish every single life, no matter how great or small, we all have a place in this world, and that place is to glorify and uplift Jesus Christ Our Lord.

If need be, and conflict should arise out of the misunderstanding that some hold as their “right” to seek do unjust acts of barbarism then I believe God would want us to do everything necessary to defeat this enemy.

I leave you with this...

War, like other evils, is often wholesome. The waters that stagnate corrupt; the storm that works the ocean into rage renders it salutary; heaven has given us nothing unmixed; the rose is not without its thorn. War calls forth the great virtues and efforts which would sleep in the gentle bosom of Peace.

God bless!

He Is Risen!

On the first day of the week Mary Magdalene came to the tomb early, while it was still dark, and saw that the stone had been taken away from the tomb Then she ran and came to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple, whom Jesus loved, and said to them, "They have taken away the Lord out of the tomb, and we do not know where they have laid Him." Peter therefore went out, and the other disciple, and were going to the tomb. So they both ran together, and the other disciple outran Peter and came to the tomb first. And he, stooping down and looking in, saw the linen cloths lying there, and the handkerchief that had been around His head, not lying with the linen cloths, but folded together in a place by itself. Then the other disciple, who came to the tomb first, went in also; and he saw and believed. For as yet they did not know the Scripture, that He must rise again from the dead. Then the disciples went away again to their own homes. But Mary stood outside by the tomb weepiing, and as she wept she stooped down and looked into the tomb. And she saw two angels in white sitting, one at the head and the other at the feet, where the body of Jesus had lain. Then they said to her, "Woman, why are you weeping?" She said to them, "Because they have taken away my Lord, and I do not know where they have laid Him." Now when she had said this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing there, and did not know that it was Jesus. Jesus said to her, "Woman, why are you weeping? Whom are you seeking?" She, supposing Him to be the gardener, said to Him, "Sir, if You have carried Him away, tell me where You have laid Him, and I will take Him away." Jesus said to her, "Mary!" She turned and said to Him, "Rabboni!" (which is to say, Teacher). Jesus said to her, "Do not cling to Me, for I have not yet ascended to My Father; but go to My brethren and say to them, 'I am ascending to My Father and your Father, and to My God and your God.'" Mary Magdalene came and told the disciples that she had seen the Lord, and that He had spoken these things to her.

He was mocked and scourged, and a crown of thorns placed on His head. Bearing His cross, with all the remaining strength left in His body took on Himself the sins of every man from beginning to end. This is how much God loved each and every person on earth, despite their mocking hatred of Him, as He willingly gave His life that all might repent and have new and everlasting life. Thus, the battle has already been won on your behalf through the death and Resurrection of Christ, all you have to do, is ask Jesus to come into your heart and life, and have faith that 'He is able!'
Happy Easter!

God bless each and all, on this Easter Sunday 2008!

Obama Photo...Does It Give Us The Whole Picture?

Uh ... somewhat, but the photo hardly gives us what we need to know.

Of more concern, is Obama's dangerous agenda that needs to be exposed more to the public for what it is, in recent months we've heard the same rhetoric over and over..."Change," "Hope," "Yes, We can," ... REAlly? So what kind of "hope" and "change" are we talking about here? All one has to do, is go to Mr. Obama's website and see for yourself, and I'm sure, if you're a Christian, you'll not like what you find...

Here are some of the issues Mr. Obama is for...

Expand Hate Crimes Statutes: This law would include censoring people of faith, including ministers who preach out against deviant lifestyles.

Eliminate Sentencing Disparities: This law would eliminate drug enforcement, thus, drugs such as crack cocaine would become more rampant and easier access to minors, and all ages.

Bring Americans Back into their Government: Meaning that Obama would make government control more prominent in our lives, and thereby; creating more poverty among the masses through subsidies, in effect, creating more poverty than at any time in history.

On matters faith, here's how Obama thinks:

“Well, I say to them tonight, there's not a liberal America and a conservative America – there's the United States of America. There's not a black America and white America and Latino America and Asian America – there's the United States of America. The pundits like to slice-and-dice our country into Red
States and Blue States; Red States for Republicans, Blue States for Democrats.

The separation of church and state is critical and has caused our democracy and religious practices to thrive.

While Mr. Obama is willing to acknowledge that there is division in America, he doesn't, however, acknowledge that his policies which are supportive of the Liberal ideology in which the division is a direct result of. Moreover, the "Seperation of Church and State" lie is the key reason that Family Values cannot be implemented, because they are hindered from being an influence in America by the Secular Left, for example, "Seperation of Church and State" blocks or hinders legislation that would benefit schools, through Bible programs, through displays of the Ten Commandments in our schools, legislation that would allow prayer in school such as the case in Missouri just recently, they passed a public prayer amendment 132-11 in the House chamber. Other things that it would block is Bible-based abstinence programs for teenagers, and about marriage. The problem being, is that "Seperation of Church of State" has been hijacked by the far Left to mean something that it doesn't, the fallacy that "Christians should be banned from government" was not the intentions behind the "Seperation of Church and State." The truth behind the first amendment is just exactly what it means - Bill of Rights - 1st amendment 'government shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof, or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people to peaceably assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.' Now, if you look at it in the context for what it is written, you can clearly see through that one line, or prohibit the free exercise thereof, that it is prohibiting the State from interfering with the Church, it says NO WHERE that the Church cannot be an influence to, or remain separate from the State. As a matter of fact, Thomas Jefferson said this about Christian influence on the government, 'The reason that Christianity is the best friend of government, is because it changes the heart.' So, if Christianity is the 'best friend' of government...Then why does the left want to try re-write this historic document to mean otherwise? I've given the issue considerable thought, and so far, what I've been able to gather, is that the Left has used the Big Lie "Seperation of Church and State" in conjunction with two other very destructive terms affecting society - Diversity and Secularism. Concerning [diversity] Liberals support differing cultures, which comes by way of immigrants to the states, however, the problem in this, is that, with differing backgrounds, you have no assimilation, thus, fracturing the rule of law: If you can't understand each other, and they don't understand the rules, then you run into problems with violaters of the law. In addition to this, the Democrats use them to buy votes, and as long as the immigrants continue to vote for them, the Democrats ensure that they can remain diverse, thus, continuing to fracture the assimilation process, fracturing America.
As for Secularism, they have used the Big Lie, "Seperation of Church and State" again, to give further their Secular belief systems, as a means to give greater control to the State. In a Secularist society, there's more emphasis added to worldly, temporal things, giving sway to a greater degree of immorality, as such, our schools have become places of brainwashing for the Liberal agenda, and as some take issue with the way I use the word Liberal so "broadly"? Well, the reason being, is because the destructive forces of Liberalism are wreaking havoc on our schools and universities. How? You may ask...First, the Liberal agenda seeks to remove God from every facet of the school curriculum...1. Through the Science, they have taken God and Creation out, and replaced Him with Satan's lie of evolution. Some may say, "Maybe not everyone believes the way you do." Yes, I realize that, but that's not the problem, friends, the problem is that not everyone is right, there's only One source by which we know we can get it right the FIRST time, by not having to second guess and endangering the Life within us, and the Life in the lives of others. What is True Life? Jesus Christ, as He breathes into us our Eternal Souls.

2. The Liberal agenda seeks to demoralize the family unit, by using schools to place a greater influence on adolescent change, as a means to place more emphasis on sex, and less about human life. The two most widely taught examples for "contraceptive" to school children are anal sex, oral sex, and homosexuality. Homosexuality being taught as young as kindergarten, I might add. There's something wrong with society when it becomes accepting of such deviant behavior...but, you know, it's really not complicated at all, if you're a Christian, you know where such sick and twisted beliefs and lifestyles come from, none other than Satan himself.

3. And last but not least ... Life. Liberals have used the word "choice," as a deadly weapon....50,000,000 unborn children never too their first breath, their little bodies screaming in agony as their little heads are punctured with a needle and then their brains sunctioned out with a machine suction device.

What should choice mean? When God gave man a choice in the very beginning, Adam and Eve had the most perfect freedom that they could have ever wanted, ever dreamed for, they had no pain, there was nothing to cause them fear, they had all they wanted to eat, and it didn't have to be cooked, because everything was perfect, the water was clean and free of impurities, and God's only request was that they not eat of the Tree of Knowldge of Good and Evil, His only request. So, then one day, Satan, coming in the form of a serpent, the most cunning of any creature that God had made, came to Eve and said, "Has God indeed said, 'You shall not eat of every tree of the garden'?" Then the woman said to the serpent, "We may eat the fruit of the trees of the garden; "but of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God has said, 'You shall not eat of it, nor shall you touch it, lest you di.'" And the serpent said to the woman, "You will not surely die. "For God knows that in the day you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil." And so, Eve gives into Satan's temptation, deceiving Adam also, and for that, the ground was cursed, and all living things were affected. In the same way, Satan is working in our schools across America, teaching them a lie that will very likely cost them their physical bodies, and most unfortunately, cost their dearest price yet, their Eternal Soul, their Life in Hell.

God still gives us that same choice today, and He proved to us the choice that He want us to make, through His Love, by sending His Only Son Jesus, to die on the Cross for all of our sins, that we might repent and make the greatest decision that we could ever make, by accepting Him as Lord and Savior!

Christ died that we might choose life, and have it more abundantly. This is REAL Hope!

Don't listen to the Secular Atheists, Humanists, and Liberals!

Choose life, and God will bless you!

God bless!
