Vote the Bible

By Admin, September 2, 2010 7:29 pm

Dr. David Barton is more of a historian than a Biblical speaker, but very famous for his knowledge of historical facts as well as Biblical truths.

         
 
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 ! ! !
(Please, please, please, pass this on if you agree.)

Thanks for your time, be safe.

GOD can be in control, we just have to let HIM

By Admin, August 24, 2010 9:28 pm

24 August 2010  If you have read my latest post on the state of our economy (Now and then 1929,2009, the coming depression, part XII) you would ask I’m sure, what hope is there if things are really that hopeless. If America found the perfect Congress and President to preside during these dark times, it would still take over 12 years for America to get on its feet and it would hurt. I have found over the years that when we trust God first and throw ourselves at his mercy that all things work out for the best; and that thinking applies to nations also.  {II Chronicles 7:14…If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.} Just prior to his death Moses gave some last words of encouragement to the nation of Israel in Deuteronomy 31.6: “Be strong and of a good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them, for the LORD thy God, he it is that doth go with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee”. Though some could possibly make the argument that the scripture applies only to the Hebrews of the Old Testament; we are reminded in Hebrews 13.5: “Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have; for He hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee” As we are faithful to seek first the kingdom of God, then He will be faithful to meet our every need

A minister passing
through his church
In the middle of the day,
Decided to pause by the
altar
And see who had come to pray.

Just then the back door opened,
A man came down the aisle,
The minister frowned as he saw
The man
hadn’t shaved in a while.
His shirt was kinda shabby
And his coat was
worn and frayed,
The man knelt, he bowed his head,
Then rose and walked
away.

In the days that followed,
Each noon time came this chap,
Each time he knelt just for a moment,
A lunch pail in his lap.

Well, the minister’s suspicions grew,
With robbery a main fear,
He decided to stop the man and ask him,
‘What are you doing here?’

The old man said, he worked down the road.
Lunch was half an hour.
Lunchtime was his prayer time,
For finding strength and
power.

‘I stay only moments, see,
Because the factory
is so far away;
As I kneel here talking to the Lord,
This is
kindawhat I say:

‘I JUST CAME AGAIN TO TELL
YOU, LORD,
HOW HAPPY I’VE BEEN, SINCE WE FOUND EACH OTHERS FRIENDSHIP AND
YOU TOOK AWAY MY SIN. DON’T KNOW MUCH OF HOW TO PRAY, BUT I THINK ABOUT YOU
EVERYDAY.
SO, JESUS, THIS IS JIM CHECKING IN TODAY.’

The minister feeling foolish,
Told Jim,
that was fine.
He told the man he was welcome
To come and pray just
anytime

Time to go, Jim smiled, said ‘Thanks.’
He hurried to the
door.
The minister knelt at the altar,
He’d never done it before.

His cold heart melted, warmed with love,
And met with Jesus there.
As the tears flowed, in his heart,
He repeated old Jim’s prayer:

‘I JUST
CAME AGAIN TO TELL YOU, LORD,
HOW HAPPY I’VE BEEN, SINCE WE FOUND EACH
OTHERS FRIENDSHIP AND YOU TOOK AWAY MY SIN. I DON’T KNOW MUCH OF HOW TO PRAY,
BUT I THINK ABOUT YOU EVERYDAY.
SO, JESUS, THIS IS ME CHECKING IN TODAY.’

Past noon one day, the
minister noticed
That old Jim hadn’t come.
As more days passed without
Jim,
He began to worry some.

At the factory, he asked about him,
Learning he was ill.
The hospital staff was worried,
But he’d
given them a thrill.

The week that Jim was with them,
Brought
changes in the ward.
His smiles, a joy contagious.
Changed people, were
his reward.

The head nurse couldn’t understand
Why Jim was so glad,
When no flowers, calls or cards came,
Not a visitor he had.

The
minister stayed by his bed,
He voiced the nurse’s concern:
No friends
came to show they cared.
He had nowhere to turn.

Looking surprised,
old Jim spoke
Up and with a winsome smile;
‘the nurse is wrong, she
couldn’t know,
That he’s in here all the while

Everyday at
noon He’s here,
A dear friend of mine, you see,
He sits right down,
takes my hand,
Leans over and says to me:
‘I
JUST CAME AGAIN TO TELL YOU, JIM,
HOW HAPPY I HAVE BEEN, SINCE WE FOUND THIS
FRIENDSHIP, AND I TOOK AWAY YOUR SIN.
ALWAYS LOVE TO HEAR
YOU PRAY,
I THINK ABOUT YOU EACH DAY, AND SO JIM, THIS IS JESUS CHECKING IN
TODAY.’
If this blesses you, pass it on. Many people will walk
in and out of your life, but only true friends will leave footprints in your
heart

May God hold you in the palm of His hand
And Angels watch over you.

     When things go wrong, as they sometimes will, when the road you’re trudging seems all uphill, when the funds are low and the debts are high, and you want to smile, but you, have to sigh, when care is pressing you down a bit, rest, if you must, but don’t you quit.

     Hebrews 10:36 says,

You need to persevere so that when you have done the will of God, you will receive what He has promised.

GOD has always been in control

By Admin, May 26, 2010 6:51 pm

God established the USA, God is still in the USA, and like or not, God is in control.Though God gave all of us the moral freedom to choose between good and evil, to do good or bad and basically to determine many events in our lives; he did NOT give us the power to control or determine the final outcome of our actions. God is in control, did he not say of Pharaoh in Exodus 9:16, “And in very deed for this cause have I raised thee up….”

Our daily lives are at the mercy of government and the political process. If I believe that God established our government and is involved in our daily lives; what am I saying? That God is political. What I am saying is that God established our Nation, our Government and allowed men to accept those positions of authority in government and that as long as those men honored human decency and accepted God, our Nation excelled; “for this cause have I raised thee” “….for to show in thee my power”. It is entirely up to us as how God will show his power. Consider this, take some time and Google disasters, floods, earthquakes, famine, etc for the last four years, why is it that the level of disaster and death toll in the Muslim world number between 2000 and 200,00 (remember the Tsunami) and in America we get excited if the death toll is over 200 hundred. God has for too long smiled upon our great nation; for us to now lie down and give it up to the hate filled, ungodly and satanic 16 per cent comprised of secular progressives, university professors, liberal activists, Hollywood and the ACLU.

It’s time we took our nation back, or God will take our nation and as with many times throughout the scriptures, the world will watch in astonishment at the fall of our Nation.

The LORD’s ball game

By Admin, May 12, 2010 5:20 pm

 

The Lord’s Ballgame


THE LORD’S BASEBALL GAME

Freddy and the Lord stood by to observe a baseball game. The Lord’s team was playing Satan’s team.

The Lord’s team was at bat, the score was tied zero to zero, and it was the bottom of the 9th inning with two outs. They continued to watch as a batter stepped up to the plate named ‘Love.’

Love swung at the first pitch and hit a single, because ‘Love never fails.’

The next batter was named Faith, who also got a single because Faith works with Love.

The next batter up was named Godly Wisdom. Satan wound up and threw the first pitch.


Godly Wisdom
looked it over and let it pass: Ball one. Three more pitches and Godly Wisdom walked because he never swings at what Satan throws.
The bases were now loaded. The Lord then turned to Freddy and told him He was now going to bring in His star player. Up to the plate stepped Grace. Freddy said, ‘He sure doesn’t look like much!’

Satan’s whole team relaxed when they saw Grace.
Thinking he had won the game, Satan wound up and fired his first pitch. To the shock of everyone, Grace hit the ball harder than anyone had ever seen! But Satan was not worried; his center fielder let very few get by.


He went up for the ball, but it went right through his glove, hit him on the head and sent him crashing on the ground;

the roaring crowds went wild as the ball

continued over the fence . . for a home run!

The Lord’s team w n!

The Lord then asked Freddy if he knew why Love, Faith and Godly Wisdom could get on base but couldn’t win the game. Freddy answered that he didn’t know why.

The Lord explained, ‘If your love, faith and wisdom had won the game, you would think you had done it by yourself.Love, Faith and Wisdom will get you on base but only My Grace can get you Home:

‘For by Grace are you saved, it is a gift of God; not of works, lest any man should boast.’ Ephesians 2:8-9

Psalm 84:11, ‘For the Lord God is a sun and shield; the Lord will give grace and glory; no good thing will He withhold from those who walk uprightly.’

Jesus’ Test

This is an easy test; you score 100 or zero. It’s your choice. If you aren’t ashamed to do this, please follow the directions. Jesus said, ‘If you are ashamed of me, I will be ashamed of you before my Father.’

Not ashamed!! Pass this on, if you mean it..
, I do Love God. He is my source of existence and Savior. He keeps me functioning each and everyday. Without Him, I am nothing, but with him:

‘I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.’
Phil 4:13

This is the simplest test . . If you Love God, and are not ashamed of all the great things He has done for you. Send this to a few friends.

Good-By to 2009

By Admin, December 25, 2009 10:40 pm

Good-By to 2009As this year comes to an end many of us are without jobs, have lost our homes, defaulted on our mortgage, credit card debt and see Washington only assisting big banks, big businesses and themselves. It’s easy to understand and accept why so many of us enter the New Year with trepidation, not anticipation; with doubt instead of hope, with mistrust instead of trust and certainly with no more faith in our elected officials at all levels. Even those of us whom have not yet lost what we’ve worked so hard for have to some extent been shaken by the economic situation of the times. Most retirement plans have lost a minimum of about 40% and many who would have retired are either still working or now looking for jobs. It’s probably sad that we should turn to God when times are tough when we didn’t reach out to him in good times; however, HE promised to never leave us or forsake us. Just prior to his death Moses gave some last words of encouragement to the nation of Israel in Deuteronomy 31.6: “Be strong and of a good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them, for the LORD thy God, he it is that doth go with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee”. Though some could possibly make the argument that the scripture applies only to the Hebrews of the Old Testament; we are reminded in Hebrews 13.5: “Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have; for He hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee” As we are faithful to seek first the kingdom of God, then He will be faithful to meet our every need. Let us enter the New Year with God in our thoughts, in our hearts and with the gift of anticipating what He has in store for us.

Time

By Admin, December 1, 2009 6:30 pm

Time      The dictionary says that time is a person’s experience on a particuliar occasion or a rythm as given by a division into parts of equal time, or the period of time a prisoner is imprisoned. But I believe it is more than that. I believe time is our friend and our enemy and something we cannot change. Let’s face it, time is worth so many things, it’s also probably the most amazing thing humans have ever seen.      I said to my mother once, if we could own time, it would be more expensive than a house and two cars and everything in th house and cars all put together. But for one, I think we should all be thankful for time. Because if you look at it, it is something so beautiful.      Right now I’m looking at the clock, trying to look for an inspiration, but I should take my time because the time will come.—————————————————————————-Those words were exactly what she wrote. Pretty good for an 8 year old. I was really impressed and it almost made me cry. When we think we are not doing a good job as a homeschool teacher, our children go and do something that totally knock our socks off and show us we are not doing such a bad job afterall. Please share your comments and I will let her read them! By the way, she did this unprompted and not school related. Love,Carrie

One Nation, ‘Under God.’

One day a 6 year old girl was sitting in a

classroom. The teacher was going to explain

evolution to the children. The teacher asked

a little boy: Tommy do you see the tree

outside?


TOMMY: Yes.


TEACHER: Tommy, do you see the grass

outside?


TOMMY: Yes.


TEACHER: Go outside and look up and see

if you can see the sky.


TOMMY: Okay. (He returned a few minutes

later) Yes, I saw the sky.


TEACHER: Did you see God up there?


TOMMY: No.


TEACHER: That’s my point. We can’t see

God because he isn’t there. Possibly he just

doesn’t exist.

A little girl spoke up and wanted to ask the

boy some questions.


The teacher agreed and the little girl asked

the boy: Tommy, do you see the tree

outside?


TOMMY: Yes.


LITTLE GIRL: Tommy do you see the grass

outside?


TOMMY: Yessssss!


LITTLE GIRL: Did you see the sky?


TOMMY: Yessssss!


LITTLE GIRL: Tommy, do you see the

teacher?


TOMMY: Yes


LITTLE GIRL: Do you see her brain?


TOMMY: No


LITTLE GIRL: Then according to what we

were taught today in school, she possibly

may not even have one!


(You Go Girl!)
