Nobody Sees What I Am Doing

We live in an America that is rapidly decaying into an immoral abyss. We have godless liberals, and many conservatives, who think that we send them to Washington, or state legislatures, to do as they please. They think that having sex with our youth who go there to learn about government is ok. They think that overruling the will of the voters is their right, such as those who said that 61% of Californians did not fit their immoral agenda. Scandals are replete among those whom we vote into office. Introducing and passing bills that legalize what the vast majority of us see as perversion seems to be the agenda of far too many. Teaching kindergarteners and up about homosexuality while neglecting the teaching of sexual abstinence, which is mandated in state constitutions across the nation, seems their obsession.  They think that they can just continue pushing every form of sexual immorality, killing the unborn and perverting the minds of children without consequences. Well, ultimately, God will have the last word over all of humanity. Note the following.

"Why do You stand afar off, O Lord? Why do You hide Yourself in times of trouble? In pride the wicked hotly pursue the afflicted; let them be caught in the plots which they have devised. For the wicked boasts of his heart's desire, and the greedy man curses and spurns the Lord. The wicked, in the haughtiness of his countenance, does not seek Him. All his thoughts are, 'There is no God.' His ways prosper at all times; Your judgments are on high, out of his sight; as for all his adversaries, he snorts at them. He says to himself, 'I will not be moved; throughout all generations I will not be in adversity.' His mouth is full of curses and deceit and oppression; under his tongue is mischief and wickedness. He sits in the lurking places of the villages; in the hiding places he kills the innocent; His eyes stealthily watch for the unfortunate. He lurks in a hiding place as a lion in his lair; he lurks to catch the afflicted; he catches the afflicted when he draws him into his net. He crouches, he bows down, and the unfortunate fall by his mighty ones. He says to himself, 'God has forgotten; He has hidden His face; He will never see it.' Arise, O Lord; O God, lift up Your hand. Do not forget the afflicted. Why has the wicked spurned God? He has said to himself, 'You will not require it.' You have seen it, for You have beheld mischief and vexation to take it into Your hand. The unfortunate commits himself to You; You have been the helper of the orphan. Break the arm of the wicked and the evildoer, seek out his wickedness until You find none. The Lord is King forever and ever; nations have perished from His land. O Lord, You have heard the desire of the humble; You will strengthen their heart, You will incline Your ear to vindicate the orphan and the oppressed, so that man who is of the earth will no longer cause terror."  King David   Psalm 10
God allows mankind to have a free will, but that free will is not free forever. There is a payday for every human being who has ever lived on His planet. It comes when he or she dies. One minute after you die you will know that you have made the biggest mistake of your life and there is no way out of your circumstances. There are NO second chances there. Consequences of ignoring His clear warnings are permanent. God often intervenes immediately with His judgment, natural disasters and manmade consequences as a way of getting man's attention or removing him or her from this earth immediately. Many today think that just because they say that there is not God that it makes it so. Just as saying that there is no gravity makes it not to exist, so is the one who denies God's existence. He has warned mankind for millennia. Noah's flood was a result of mankind's getting completely obsessed with doing what 'feels' good to himself. Every human being died with the exception of Noah and seven members of his family. God is still warning mankind today and most are still playing Russian roulette with their eternal souls. Is doing what 'feels good' worth spending eternity in Hell? Your choice!
 
"For God so loved the world that He gave His only Son, that whosoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life."  John 3:16
 
God loves all of His creation and wants them to turn away from self-destructive behaviours and submit their lives to His Son, Jesus Christ. He will change your life so profoundly if you will.

Obama: What Does He Really Want

Obama is daily becoming more of an enigma. Throughout his campaign he has made major bloopers, including campaigning in all 57 American states. In his speech yesterday, he spoke of disarming America of nuclear weapons and addressing climate change. He dreamed of a nation "where every language is spoken," and every culture leaves "its imprint"--an America that puts global citizenship ahead of its moral identity.

Just what kind of an America does he really want? Socialism, internationalism or one without morality seems to be on his agenda. This fellow is a nut! How can the Dems even put him on the ticket? He seems to want to be the president of the world instead of the USA. He seems very concerned about unemployment in Muslim nations but what does he propose for this country? It seems that he is daily digging his own grave politically. I sure do hope so!

Liberals Fulfill Scripture

Today, we have arrogant men and women running around trying to legislate, and rule from the bench, to throw God out of America. Their other buddies, the United Nations, are trying to rule the whole world and throw God out of His own planet. They see themselves like little 'gods' who feel that they have the right to run the lives of everyone else in this country and the world. This is especially appropriate in California these days. Everything from telling them that they know better how to raise your kids than you do, to forcing you to accept the perversion of homosexuality in your classrooms and condoning the twisting of all that marriage is to you. These people act as though the tax money that they collect is their own and feel that they are being generous when they allow some of it to come back to those who earned it in the first place. There is a Psalm that adequately speaks of these little demagogues and the ultimate result of their actions. It ends with what they had better do in order to avoid the wrath of THE GOD.

"Why are the nations in an uproar and the peoples devising a vain thing? The kings of the earth take their stand and the rulers take counsel together against the Lord and against His Anointed, saying,  'Let us tear their fetters (restraints) apart and cast away their cords (moral standards) from us!' He who sits in the heavens laughs, the Lord scoffs at them. Then He will speak to them in His anger and terrify them in His fury, saying,  'But as for Me, I have installed My King Upon Zion, My holy mountain.' I will surely tell of the decree of the Lord: He said to Me, 'You are My Son, today I have begotten You. Ask of Me, and I will surely give the nations as Your inheritance, and the very ends of the earth as Your possession. You shall break them with a rod of iron, You shall shatter them like earthenware.' 
Now therefore, O kings, show discernment; take warning, O judges of the earth. Worship the Lord with reverence and rejoice with trembling. Do homage to the Son, that He not become angry, and you perish in the way, for His wrath may soon be kindled. How blessed are all who take refuge in Him!"  Psalm 2:1-12

Note the number of times that the Son or Anointed is mentioned. This speaks of none other than the Son of God, Jesus Christ. The only hope that these and all mankind has when we face God is to do as the final verses instruct us to do. Humble our proud hearts, worship Him as God and take refuge in Him from the awful wrath of God against those who thumb their noses at His right to do as He pleases. You may scoff at this word yourself, but if you do you will regret it just one minute after you die. Please note, there is no second chance after you die. Our decision must be made BEFORE we die.

“... for He says, at the acceptable time I listened to you, and on the day of salvation I helped you. ' Behold, now is "the acceptable time,' behold, now is 'the day of salvation' "  2 Corinthians 6:2

Time To Put A Leash On The Courts

In the last week, the 3rd Circuit Court of Appeals has become a graveyard of decency regulations. First the judges sided with CBS over the fines imposed after Janet Jackson's "wardrobe malfunction." Then, yesterday, the court struck down the Child Online Protection Act (COPA), which tightly regulates Internet content to ensure that kids aren't exposed to inappropriate material. The justices ruled that the Clinton-era law was unconstitutional censorship. Under COPA, adult websites are ordered to "verify visitors' ages." Those caught posting images or content that's unsuitable for children without some form of "age verification" face up to six months in jail. Although the battle to maintain some sense of online decency without violating the First Amendment has made its way to the Supreme Court twice before, it looks as if COPA is bound for return trip. The Internet continues to be a playground for sexual predators, yet the courts insist on stripping the government of any authority to regulate it. The Justice Department and the government at large have a substantial interest in protecting our children from exploitation. Laws are already in place so that minors can't legally purchase pornographic magazines in convenience stores. Why shouldn't the same protections hold true on the Internet?

It seems that many judges have made themselves little gods and are ruling from the bench. A little reminder of their end.

"He makes counselors walk barefoot, And makes fools of judges."  Job 12:17

What Obama Would Do If Elected

A year ago this week, Senator Barack Obama (D-Ill.) told a Planned Parenthood audience that the first thing he would do as President is sign into law the mislabeled Freedom of Choice Act (FOCA). As a new Insight paper from Vice President of Government Affairs Tom McClusky shows, if FOCA were to become law it would overturn hundreds of state laws that have put limits on abortion. Planned Parenthood, NARAL and other pro-abortion groups agree with Tom's assessment. The ACLU proclaims, "This [FOCA] bill prohibits such restrictions as parental notification and consent, as well as the requirement that all abortions be performed in a hospital, spousal consent, waiting periods ..." Recent polls show that most Americans agree there should be more restrictions on abortion and that tax dollars should not go to the life-ending procedure. However, the passage of FOCA would guarantee that more taxpayer dollars pay for abortions. Its sponsors, including Senators Obama, Hillary Clinton (D-N.Y.) and Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.), argue that they want to make abortion rarer. However, when FOCA-like legislation was passed in Maryland that state saw its abortion rate skyrocket, just as the national abortion rate was dropping. Passage of FOCA would be a big payoff to the abortion industry at the deadly cost of citizens' rights.

Obama Seems To Do The Right Thing Too Late

Obama finally visits the troops in Afghanistan, but far too late. This was nothing more than a photo op. It makes me sick to see people use our military troops for nothing more than political expediency. When will the American people see through this fellow?

Consequences Of Rebellion

The percentage of girls ages 14-19 who have at least one sexually transmitted disease ... 26%.  Centers For Disease Control
 
It staggers the mind to imagine all the other side effects of having sex outside marriage. Far too many young lives are being wrecked by what adults are telling them. Teens do not get this stuff if left alone. We must stop the perversion of adults and their targeting children. When will we stand up and protect these precious young people?

Talk About Manipulating The Gasoline Market

I had the occasion to be in California twice in the last few weeks. When I was there first, the gas prices were $4.63 for unleaded, while back home in Texas it was $3.79 for the same gas. I returned one week later and Cal gas was only $4. 37 for unleaded, while Texas went up to $3.95 a gallon. Talk about manipulating the market. The oil companies are playing fast and loose with our wallets. Wise up, customers aren't all stuck in one place and unaware of prices in other states.

Attention All Christian Voters

Is Barack Hussein Obama a Christian? He has been making this claim boldly of late. What defines what a Christian is? The Bible is the ultimate source for this information, not what someone claims. Most liberal Democrats usually come out of the woodwork at election time, if it is politically advantageous, claiming that they are Christians. During the rest of the year they act and live totally opposite of what they claim to be. Just take a look at this passage for a clear definition of what a Christian is.

'By this we know that we have come to know Him, if we keep His commandments. The one who says, "I have come to know Him," and does not keep His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him; but whoever keeps His word, in him the love of God has truly been perfected. By this we know that we are in Him, the one who says he abides in Him ought himself to walk in the same manner as He walked. Beloved, I am not writing a new commandment to you, but an old commandment which you have had from the beginning; the old commandment is the word which you have heard. On the other hand, I am writing a new commandment to you, which is true in Him and in you, because the darkness is passing away and the true Light is already shining. The one who says he is in the Light and yet hates his brother is in the darkness until now. The one who loves his brother abides in the Light and there is no cause for stumbling in him. But the one who hates his brother is in the darkness and walks in the darkness, and does not know where he is going because the darkness has blinded his eyes."  1 John 2:3-11

It is obvious that believing and pressing for legalization of the things that God hates, abortion, and supporting the things God calls an abomination, homosexuality, are opposites of what a real Christian is to believe and support.

Again, as this passage says, hating anyone is off limits for a true Christian. Yet, Mr. and Mrs. Obama sat under the teaching of Pastor Jeremiah Wright for twenty (20) years and Michelle's writings at Yale all reflect a vehement hatred for white people. The motivation for their hatred is unknown to us except to say that white people have treated blacks like dirt for far too long. The Obamas and Wright seem to be waging a race war all on their own. Anyone who hates someone else is violating this very Scripture.

I write this to warn all Christian voters that Obama is playing on your emotions with false claims in order to steal your vote. He is the most extreme liberal in congress today. He is left of Ted Kennedy andHillary Clinton. These folks are radical, Socialist politicians and will do or say anything to get conservatives to switch their vote for them. Obama is one of Oprah Winfrey's favorite people and she is leading millions of people down the road to Hell with her New Age heresy. She teaches the very opposite of what the Bible teaches while trying to tie it in with 'Jesus' language.

We are up against the greatest onslaught of outright evil that I have encountered in my sixty-one years of living in this Greatest Nation On God's Green Earth! Most Christians are being lulled into a stupor by the media and even by their 'feel good sermon' pastors, and in their ignorance of what the Bible really teaches, they sit as prime targets for cults, political correctness and accepting perversion as normal. Why do they call homosexuality an "alternative" lifestyle? Alternative means that it deviates from the original. Heterosexual marriage that has dominated the world from the very beginning and is God's plan for the human race. Any union that cannot reproduce itself goes against nature itself.

What will it take for American Christians, conservatives and all other Americans to snap out of this stupor? For one thing turn off that one eyed Cyclops in your living rooms and search out the truth for yourself. Talking heads are leading this nation into ruin. Only you can stop this insanity that is being passed off as truth. Research the original documents of the founding fathers. Read the Bible daily and you will educate yourself. Insist that your pastor teach the whole counsel of God rather than just the "feel good" passages. Thank God for the remnant of pastors who are standing up for what is right. They are the patriot pastors like those in our nation's history. Did you know that twenty-nime (29) of the signers of the Declaration of Independence held theological degrees?

It is time to wake up NOW! This election is the most critical in modern history. With an approval rating of only 14%, our liberal dominated congress must be voted out of a job. Let them stand in the unemployment lines for a change. Most are so filthy rich that that would not happen, but it would be a great thing for them to feel what it is like to be an "average man."

May God Himself wake up His church, which is made up of His people not buildings. There are millions and millions of us. Like the ants in A Bug's Life who took on the hoppers, let us rise to the high calling of restoring godliness to America. 50,000,000 American citizens lay in county dumps and on lab tables because Christians did not stand up for life in 1973. Abortion is still alive and well today because of the church's deadness on this issue. May God motivate each of us to speak up for a change. Let's make some noise in our local government, state legislatures and in Washington D.C. itself. It is time for change, but not the kind Mr. Obama wants for America.

This piece is written from a genuine heart of love for all people. I pray for Obama and the others that they might really come to know the God of the universe. This is my ultimate goal.

Ben Franklin Was No Atheist

"I've 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. If a sparrow cannot fall to the ground without His notice, is it probable that an empire can rise without His aid? We've been assured in the sacred writings that unless the Lord builds the house, they labor in vain who 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."

Benjamin Franklin, signer of the Declaration of Independence

America Was Formed Upon Christianity

"It is not that in the chain of human events, the birthday of the nation is indissolubly linked with the birthday of the Savior? That it forms a leading event in the progress of the Gospel dispensation? Is it not that the Declaration of Independence first organized the social compact on the foundation of the Redeemer's mission upon earth? That it laid the cornerstone of human government upon the first precepts of Christianity?"
John Quincy Adams, sixth President of the United States

Why I Will Not Vote For Obama

Barack Hussein Obama was elected to the U.S. Senate in 2004, he served seven years in the Illinois Senate, he had one loss in a primary election for the U.S. House of Representatives, and he made one keynote address at a Democratic National Convention and has two best-selling books. Is this enough experience to sit in the seat of the most powerful office in the world? His policies place him the furthest left of any congressman, is kamikaze committed to killing the unborn and totally committed to the perversion of the Gay Agenda. He calls himself a Christian yet he supports the very things that God clearly calls an abomination in His sight. Many can call themselves a Christian but the proof of the pudding is in the eating. Does he represent the qualities of what the Bible says must be in place to be a Christian? NO! He uses the Christian faith to deceive Christians into voting for him. He is good only in front of a teleprompter but stumbles badly on his own. His huge blunders are just swept under the rug by the liberal media, such as his comment that he would campaign in all 57 states. Dan Quail was crucified for his misspelling potato but Obama has gone untouched by his friends in media.

It seems to me that the facts are adding up to revealing a very politically ignorant candidate and a speaker of lies to try and win the key to the executive wash room. His color has nothing to do with my evaluation since I would vote for Condi Rice in a second. I just do not trust this man, or his wife for that matter. There is just too much hatred for white people in his resume. The way to end racial prejudice is to learn to love one another, not incite hatred for each other, as his pastor, Jeremiah Wright has preached for decades. His dropping his membership means nothing to me. Let me hear him and his wife say openly that she loves white people and other ethnicities as well.


Vote for Obama? Not on your life!

Democrat Congress Sets Another Record

They have now set an all time low in approval rating, only 14%. Let's hope that voters remember what a lousy job these '100 day wonders' have done. They are destroying our nation and should be voted out of office.

Reagan: The Great Communicator

At the National Prayer Breakfast in 1984, President Ronald Reagan recommended prayer and obedience as the way to change world history:

We in this room and millions more everywhere, turn to God in prayer. Yet, so often, we direct our prayers to those problems that are immediate to us. In a world torn with strife, where divisions seem to be increasing, have we thought about the greatest tool we have - the power of prayer and God's help? How much mega-tonnage do we have in this room? Have we been neglecting it?

This power of prayer is illustrated by a story from the fourth century - a monk living in a remote village spent most of his time in prayer or tending the garden from which he obtained his sustenance. One day he thought he heard the voice of God telling him to go to Rome. Believing he had, he set out. Weeks and weeks later he arrived, having traveled mostly on foot. He followed a crowd into the Coliseum. There amid the great crowd, he saw the gladiators stand before the Emperor, saying, "We who are about to die salute you." Realizing they would fight to the death to entertain the crowds, the monk cried out, "In the Name of Christ, stop!" But his voice was lost in the tumult of the great Coliseum.

Suddenly the crowds saw a scrawny figure making his way to the gladiators - crying out over and over again -"In the Name of Christ, stop!" They thought it was part of the entertainment and were amused. When they realized it wasn't, they grew belligerent and angry. As the monk pled with the gladiators, one of them plunged his sword into his body. His last words, as he fell to his death in the arena sand, were, "In the Name of Christ, stop!"

The gladiators stood looking at the form lying in the sand. A silence fell over the Coliseum. Someplace in the upper tiers, one individual made his way to an exit and left. Others began to follow. In the dead silence, everyone slowly left the Coliseum. That was the last battle to the death between gladiators in the Roman Coliseum. Never again did men kill each other for the entertainment of the crowd.

The tiny voice could hardly be heard above the tumult. "In the Name of Christ, stop!" But it is something we could be saying to each other throughout the world today (from American Quotations, Wm. Federer).
 
Enough said. Ikester

Critical Information Exposing Islam

Keith Ellison, D-Minn., was the first Muslim elected to congress and was sworn in on the Muslim holy book, the Koran. Most folks thought, with a lot of help from liberal politicians and the liberal media, that he just swore in on his holy book but he actually swore to uphold the constitution of the United States.

I was in a Family Research Council conference in D. C. in May and heard a former Hamas terrorist speak. His name is Walid Shoebat and is well known here in America. He is now a Christian and has regular death threats on his life from his former 'friends'. His talk left goose bumps down my spine. He systematically took Islam apart, as we in the West know it. The most chilling revelation was that Islam is NOT primarily a religion. It is the constitution of a world power and secondly a personal faith. By this I mean that Islam is like Communism, Nazism and a lot of other isms that we know today. It is committed to dominating the entire world, by force, with its teachings. He pointed out that when Ellison swore in on the Koran, he was actually swearing in on the Islamic constitution, NOT the U. S. constitution. Stop and ponder this for a moment. Let it sink in. He also explained what the common mantra of Islam in America really means. "Islam is a religion of peace," does not mean that it is like Christianity, it is a force that kills people who refuse to convert to Islam. It is a violent and brutal ideology and will use any and all means to take over every nation on earth. Note this in North Africa, Sudan in particular. Look at Europe and the Islamic invasion of those nations. Look at Indonesia, the Plilippines and other nations there. He explained that what this mantra really means is that when the entire earth is under Shira law, THEN there will be peace on earth. Our politicians and media have brainwashed Americans into thinking that they are just like the rest of us who are peace loving folks.

He also noted that many American women are marrying Muslim men but he asked, "Have you ever seen a Muslim man marry into a Christian or Jewish family?" If he does he is hunted down and killed as a traitor.
 
A video that every American should watch is "Islam: What The West Needs To Know." The video takes 98 minutes to explain the inner workings of this 'peaceful' religion. Robert Spencer of Jihad Watch, Serge Trifkovic,Bat Ye'or, Abdullah Al-Araby and Walid Shoebat are the featured speakers on the video. Will Americans continue to stick our heads in the sand and leave our backsides exposed? Obama seems to have too many friends who are Muslims and one a convicted terrorist. The video can be ordered at www.whatthewestneedstoknow.com.
 
Thanks for taking the time to read this. Check it out for yourself. The internet is filled with bogus information today, but this video is for real.
