Stop Feeding The Fat Cat Preachers

'Then the word of the Lord came to me saying,”Son of man, prophesy against the shepherds of Israel. Prophesy and say to those shepherds, 'Thus says the Lord God, "Woe, shepherds of Israel who have been feeding themselves! Should not the shepherds feed the flock?  You eat the fat and clothe yourselves with the wool, you slaughter the fat sheep without feeding the flock.  Those who are sickly you have not strengthened, the diseased you have not healed, the broken you have not bound up, the scattered you have not brought back, nor have you sought for the lost; but with force and with severity you have dominated them.  They were scattered for lack of a shepherd, and they became food for every beast of the field and were scattered. My flock wandered through all the mountains and on every high hill; My flock was scattered over all the surface of the earth, and there was no one to search or seek for them."'"
Therefore, you shepherds, hear the word of the Lord:  "As I live," declares the Lord God, "surely because My flock has become a prey, My flock has even become food for all the beasts of the field for lack of a shepherd, and My shepherds did not search for My flock, but rather the shepherds fed themselves and did not feed My flock; therefore, you shepherds, hear the word of the Lord: 'Thus says the Lord God, "Behold, I am against the shepherds, and I will demand My sheep from them and make them cease from feeding sheep. So the shepherds will not feed themselves anymore, but I will deliver My flock from their mouth, so that they will not be food for them."'"  Ezekiel 34:1-10

When will Christians stop feeding theses FAT CAT preachers. Don't you know that they have become filthy rich at your expense? Take the time to check out the preachers that you support and find out what they own and how much money they make each year. A preacher should be paid the average of the salaries of the people they lead.

I am nauseated to see the extravagance of the Televangelists, especially on TBN and the 700 Club. The Apostle Paul named names and so must we.

Paul Crouch and his wife Jan pull in a total of $780,000 a year. Paul Jr. and his wife pull in $751,200 per year and the property they own is staggering.
Benny Hinn spent $8,850 to fly on the Concord. He stayed in the presidential suite in European hotels at the tune of $2,200.00 per night. He has a $3,000,000.00 parsonage which is 7,200 sq. ft. and is located in Dana Point, California. Annual income is $500,000 to $1,000,000.00.
Fred Price lives in a 25 room mansion, has a six million dollar yacht, private jet, helicopter and seven luxury vehicles.
John Hagee makes $540,000 in salary plus $302,000 as president of Cornerstone Church.
T. D. Jakes owns a $2.6 million dollar home and was recently given a new Bentley convertible.
Joyce Meyer paid $49,000.00 for 18 chairs for a conference room and spent $44,000.00 on woodworking in her office. She owns a fleet of vehicles valued at $440,000.00 and a corporate jet worth ten million, a 10,000 sq. ft. home in Cape Cod worth ten million dollars.
Pat Roberts net worth is between 140 million to 1 billion dollars.
Creflo Dollar owns a five million dollar jet and Rolls Royce just to name some of his holdings.
Juanita Bynum owns two homes: a 7,487 sq. footer and 6,748 footer on a 4.5 million dollar estate.                                               
According to tax records, Bishop Eddie Long Ministries, Inc. provided him with more than $3 million in salary and benefits, including a $1.4 million 20-acre home and use of a $350,000 Bentley. Long also received more than $1 million in salary, including $494,000 in 2000.

I could go on and on with these folks. They are a black eye on Christianity and should be cut off from all your offerings. Put them in their place and watch them squirm.

Owen Lovejoy of Kent University Is Wrong!

It amazes me to read of the latest craze among evolutionists at the discussions about ARTI. Mr. Lovejoy excitedly proclaims that we have found the link between man and our monkey ancestors. He is soon to be proven wrong. Many scientists already doubt that ARTI actually walked upright. She was obviously a knuckle walker. Scientists have said that she lived mostly in trees.

Evolutionists rely HEAVILY on artists' renderings to SELL their lies. The picture of ARTI is made to look like a human female as they have given her breasts and a lovely face. What is buried in the story is that she only stands FOUR FEET TALL.

SHE IS AN APE! NO AMOUNT OF PEN AND PENCIL DRAWINGS CAN MAKE THIS THING OUT TO BE ANYTHING BUT AN APE! Can the liberals of our world tell us anything else but lies?

Evolutionists are growing desperate to find the missing link since even Darwin said that if the fossil record does not find many transitional forms then his theory is probably false. It is amazing to see how evolution has become a religion without a god, atheism. It literally TAKES MORE FAITH TO BELIEVE IN EVOLUTION than it does to believe in God. You see, we have actual records but they have NOTHING! Talk about your blind faith! Their rebuttal is not evidence but throwing hate filled barbs. I recently got one of these barbs from a former article on ARTI. You see, when you have no evidence you must resort to slander, hatred and anger. I just wish that someone out there would actually enter into intelligent debate!

Christian In Name Only

To preachers who really want to bring godly change to people's lives, there is a major problem that we face. Hearers who refuse to be doers of what they hear. We must never grow weary in consistently preaching the whole truth regardless of whether they listen or not.
Far too many preachers today have become 'ear ticklers' just telling people what they want to hear so that their 'faith' doesn't interfere with their freedom to do as they please. Note the following passage which pictures this problem very well.

"But as for you, son of man, your fellow citizens who talk about you by the walls and in the doorways of the houses, speak to one another, each to his brother, saying, 'Come now and hear what the message is which comes forth from the Lord.'  They come to you as people come, and sit before you as My people and hear your words, but they do not do them, for they do the lustful desires expressed by their mouth, and their heart goes after their gain.  Behold, you are to them like a sensual song by one who has a beautiful voice and plays well on an instrument; for they hear your words but they do not practice them.  So when it comes to pass -- as surely it will -- then they will know that a prophet has been in their midst."  Ezekiel 33:30-33

There are few true 'prophets' in the church today. The feel good preachers are doing people no good but are actually assuring that the people are never offended by dealing with particular sins. This might make folks feel uncomfortable.

Charles Finney, a preacher in the Second Great Awakening in America, once wrote about our condition today in a sermon entitled, 'Preaching so as to convert nobody.' He gives 67 things that preachers can do to avoid leading people to TRUE salvation. You can find this at www.gospeltruth.net/1871patcn.htm. I would advise all preachers to read this to see which category they fit into.

I Just Had A Brilliant Idea!

It seems that anyone who disagrees with Obama is labeled a racist and one who hates him. My brilliant idea? Let's disagree with the white half of him and then we can no longer be called a racist. After all, his mother was white. I have found that people slander their opponents when they have no defense for their positions. Sad day in America when intelligent people cannot disagree agreeably.

Harley Rider Saves Little Girl: A Funny For You

A Harley biker is riding by the zoo in Washington , DC when he sees a little girl leaning into the lion's cage. Suddenly, the lion grabs her by the cuff of her jacket and tries to pull her inside to slaughter her, under the eyes of her screaming parents.

The biker jumps off his Harley, runs to the cage and hits the lion square on the nose with a powerful punch.

Whimpering from the pain the lion jumps back letting go of the girl, and the biker brings her to her terrified parents, who thank him endlessly. A reporter has watched the whole event.

The reporter addressing the Harley rider says, 'Sir, this was the most gallant and brave thing I've seen a man do in my whole life.'

The Harley rider replies, 'Why, it was nothing, really, the lion was behind bars. I just saw this little kid in danger and acted as I felt right.'

The reporter says, 'Well, I'll make sure this won't go unnoticed. I'm a journalist, you know, and tomorrow's paper will have this story on the front page... So, what do you do for a living and what political affiliation do you have?'

The biker replies, 'I'm a U.S. Marine and a Republican.' The journalist leaves.

The following morning the biker buys the paper to see if it indeed brings news of his actions, and reads, on the front page:

U.S. MARINE ASSAULTS AFRICAN IMMIGRANT AND STEALS HIS LUNCH.
 
That pretty much
sums up the media's approach to the news these days.

The Pilot and the Seeing Eye Dog

A WOMAN was flying from Seattle to San Francisco .
                       Unexpectedly, the plane was diverted to Sacramento
                        along the way. The flight attendant explained that
                       there would be a delay, and if the passengers wanted
                        to get off the aircraft the plane would re-board
                                                                      in 50 minutes. 

 
 
Everybody got off the plane except one lady who was
                         blind. The man had noticed her as he walked by and
                         could tell the lady was blind because her Seeing Eye
                         dog lay quietly underneath the seats in front of her
                                                    throughout the entire flight.. 

He could also tell she had flown this very flight before
                         because the pilot approached her, and calling her by
                       name, said, 'Kathy, we are in Sacramento for almost
                 an hour. Would you like to get off and stretch your legs?
The blind lady replied, 'No thanks, but maybe Buddy would
                                                               like to stretch his legs.'  
Picture this 
All the people in the gate area came to a complete standstill
                 when they looked up and saw the pilot walk off the plane
            with a Seeing Eye dog! The pilot was even wearing sunglasses.
                 People scattered. They not only tried to change planes,
                                 but they were trying to change airlines

Schwarzenegger Sides With Gays Over Citizens

 

 Source: California Family Council

Despite a Tidal Wave of Opposition, Governor Schwarzenegger Sides With Homosexual Special Interests – Signs Two Highly Controversial Bills Into Law

For the past several months CFC’s legislative team has been faithfully tracking and keeping you informed of two important and controversial bills.

Late last night, as the constitutional deadline approached for Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger to sign or veto legislation, he surprisingly signed Senate Bills 54 and 572. Senator Mark Leno, (D-San Francisco) who is committed to forcing the radical homosexual agenda on all Californians, authored both measures. Each sailed through the legislature on strict party-line votes without support from Republicans.

Senate Bill 54 requires California to validate and recognize same-sex marriages performed outside the state prior to November 5, 2008 – in violation of the state constitution and the express will of the voters – when California voters approved Proposition 8.

Upon the news of the Governor’s decision to side with the radical homosexual agenda, CFC’s Chief Executive Officer Ron Prentice stated, “It is clear that the governor has forgotten that the people of California are sovereign, and the language of Proposition 8 is unambiguous regarding the people’s intent.  The signing of SB 54 dishonors the people of California and weakens the laws set forth by them through the initiative process.  The failure of our elected representatives to support the people illustrates the need for new leaders who value the people over special interests.”?

Governor Schwarzenegger also signed Senate Bill 572, which requires the Governor of California to annually proclaim May 22 as “Harvey Milk Day.” This would set aside a special day in California’s public schools to honor the first openly homosexual politician.  

“Despite tens of thousands of California citizens expressing their opposition to SB 572 by phoning or writing his offices, Governor Schwarzenegger has abandoned parents and students to assuage special interest groups,” stated Prentice. “Commemorating Harvey Milk in public schools, primarily because of his sexual orientation, goes against the values and expectations of the vast majority of California’s parents.”

SB 572 encourages schools to conduct “commemorative exercises” and programs that focus on Milk’s contributions, a man who served less than one year in public office.

The passage and signing of these two measures illustrates California legislators’ lack of commitment to protect the values of the majority of the people, the sovereignty of their vote, and the innocence of children. Despite vocal and persistent objections, once again the radical agenda of a few has been forced on all Californians.  As the people responded with Proposition 8, the groundwork is being set to bring about needed change in California’s representative leaders.

NO Temperature Rise Since 1998

That's right! NO rise in the past 11 years and in fact the past two winters were two of the coldest in 100 years and this one is already starting off at record setting temperatures.
This Cap and Trade garbage is nothing more than the liberal attempt to control yet other industries in Ameica. Stop the vote!

Abortion Finding In ALL 5 Bills

Are you sick of the double talk concerning the liberals push for socialized medicine? Obama and all his cronies keep lying to us by telling us that there is NO abortion coverage in OUR health care ill. This is NOT TRUE. The language is very vague in some cases but it leaves the door wide open to pay for abortions with tax dollars.
 
HOW ON EARTH IS ABORTION A HEALTH CARE ISSUE? It isn't! It is the rabid liberal push to kill the unborn, expecially of certain ethnic groups. Refer to my earlier blogs for more specifices under abortion or Margaret Sanger.
 
It is time NOW to call, fax, e-mail or write your representatives in congress and let them know that if they vote for ANY of these bogus bills that you will also vote in 2010 or 2012 to hand them a pink slip. They have already been sent three million pink slips by voters. It is time NOW to put these extremists out of our government and to restore congress to being the servant of us. They have chosen to ignore the majority of Americans by continuing to push this socialized medicine bill through congress. Let them know your feelings.

DIFFERENCES BETWEEN CONSERVATIVES AND LIBERALS

If a conservative doesn't like guns, he doesn't buy one. If a liberal doesn't like guns, he wants all guns outlawed.


If a conservative is a vegetarian, he doesn't` eat meat.
If a liberal is a vegetarian, he wants all meat products banned for everyone.


If a conservative sees a foreign threat, he thinks about how to defeat his enemy.
If a liberal wonders how to surrender gracefully and still look good.


If a person of color is conservative, they see themselves as independently successful.
Their liberal counterparts see themselves as victims in need of government protection.


If a conservative is down-and-out, he thinks about how to better his situation.

A liberal wonders who is going to take care of him.


If a conservative doesn't like a talk show host, he switches channels.

Liberals demand that those they don't like be shut down.


If a conservative is a non-believer, he doesn't go to church.
A liberal non-believer wants any mention of God and religion silenced. (Unless it's a foreign religion, of course!)


If a conservative decides he needs health care, he goes about shopping for it, or may choose a job that provides it.

A liberal demands that the rest of us pay for his.


If a conservative slips and falls in a store, he gets up, laughs and is embarrassed.

If a liberal slips and falls, he grabs his neck, moans like he's in labor and then sues.

American Historian On Barack Hussein Obama

Dr. David Barton - on Obama


Respect the Office ?   Yes.

Respect the Man in the Office?   No, I am sorry to say..
I have noted that many elected officials, both Democrats and Republicans, called upon America to unite behind Obama.

Well, I want to make it clear to all who will listen that I AM NOT
uniting behind Obama !
I will respect the Office which he holds, and I will acknowledge his abilities as an orator and wordsmith and pray for him, BUT that is it.

I have begun today to see what I can do to make sure that he is a
one-term President !
Why am I doing this ?

It is because:

- I do not share Obama's vision or value system for America ;

- I do not share his Abortion beliefs;

- I do not share his radical Marxist's concept of re-distributing wealth;

- I do not share his stated views on raising taxes on those who make $150,000+ (the ceiling has been changed three times since August);

- I do not share his view that America is Arrogant;

- I do not share his view that America is not a Christian Nation;

- I do not share his view that the military should be reduced by 25%;

- I do not share his view of amnesty and giving more to illegals than our American Citizens who need help;

- I do not share his views on homosexuality and his definition of marriage;

- I do not share his views that Radical Islam is our friend

and Israel is our enemy who should give up any land;

- I do not share his spiritual beliefs (at least the ones he has made public);

- I do not share his beliefs on how to re-work the healthcare system

in America ;

- I do not share his Strategic views of the Middle East ; and

- I certainly do not share his plan to sit down with terrorist regimes such as Iran .
Bottom line: my America is vastly different from Obama's, and I have a higher obligation to my Country and my GOD to do what is Right !

For eight (8) years, the Liberals in our Society, led by numerous entertainers who would have no platform and no real credibility but for their celebrity status, have attacked President Bush, his family, and his spiritual beliefs !

They have not moved toward the center in their beliefs and their philosophies, and they never came together nor compromised their personal beliefs for the betterment of our Country !

They have portrayed my America as a land where everything is tolerated except being intolerant !
They have been a vocal and irreverent minority for years !

They have mocked and attacked the very core values so important to the founding and growth of our Country !
They have made every effort to remove the name of GOD or Jesus Christ from our Society !

They have challenged capital punishment, the right to
bear firearms, and the most basic principles of our criminal code !  

They have attacked one of the most fundamental of all Freedoms,

the right of free speech !
Unite behind Obama?   Never ! ! !

I am sure many of you who read this think that I am going overboard, but I refuse to retreat one more inch in favor of those whom I believe are the embodiment of Evil!

PRESIDENT BUSH made many mistakes during his Presidency, and I am not sure how history will judge him.  However, I believe that he weighed his decisions in light of the long established Judeo-Christian principles of our Founding Fathers!!!
Majority rules in America , and I will honor the concept; however, I will fight with all of my power to be a voice in opposition to Obama and his "goals for America ."

I am going to be a thorn in the side of those who, if left unchecked, will destroy our Country ! !  Any more compromise is more defeat !

I pray that the results of this election will wake up many who have sat on the sidelines and allowed the Socialist-Marxist anti-GOD crowd to slowly change so much of what has been good in America !
 
"Error of Opinion may be tolerated where Reason is left free to combat it." - Thomas Jefferson

GOD bless you and GOD bless our Country ! ! !
