Abortion

   Planned Parenthood forces taxpayers to subsidize 3 sins: Lies, Thefts, and Murders.
   1. We the people are judged for what the government does. 2. The government is of the people. 3. God is watching America.
   Remember Sodom and her sister cities?  All the inhabitants were destroyed because of their extreme sinful behavior.  All died save three, and those three were saved because God told Abraham what he was about to do.  (Gen 13:13 But the men of Sodom were wicked and sinners before the LORD exceedingly.)  Abraham prayed… three where saved… even then they had to believe the messengers God sent; (Gen 19:15-16 And when the morning arose, then the angels hastened Lot, saying, Arise, take thy wife, and thy two daughters, which are here; lest thou be consumed in the iniquity of the city.  And while he lingered, the men laid hold upon his hand and upon the hand of his wife, and upon the hand of his two daughters; the LORD being merciful unto him: and they brought him forth, and set him without the city.)  Everyone else was blind when destruction came.  That blindness was physical because God struck them so.  I see that that blindness typifies spiritual blindness which prevents unbeliever’s ability to see the coming destruction caused by rebellion against the will God.
   Note: When man becomes exceedingly sinful it becomes epidemical, and is fatal to any place, Isa 5:1-9 – God will judge all nations with the very same criteria.  We in America will be laid waste in the same manner as Israel because our fruit has become bitter also.  And if God doesn’t He will have to apologize to Sodom, Israel and all the other nations He judged after His standards.
   If America does not repent and follow God… America is in trouble.
   Gen 12:3 And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.
   This - “and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed” - refers to the promised messiah.  Fulfillment takes place when we receive Jesus with the same kind of faith as Abraham. (St. John 1:10-13 and St. John 3:11-21)  What kind of faith is that?  Abraham’s faith brought him to the realization that God exists and caused him to seek God diligently, to obey and to follow Him. (Hebrews 11:6)
   This promise to Abraham in Gen 12:3 extends to all who answer the call of God as Abraham did; faith is required in the only begotten son of the Living God.  It is to the Jew (children after the flesh) and to all who believe in and received the Messiah Jesus (children by Spiritual Birth) into the Family of God.  To be clear all must receive Jesus as the promised Messiah, Jew and Gentile alike.  All are equal under the requirement of God for there is no difference in Christ Jesus.
   Therefore if a child yet to be born is aborted instead and is of a family which is either Jewish (Children after the flesh) or Christian (Children by faith [Spiritual]) that child - that dead child - falls under the protection of God as in Gen. 12:3.
The Curse (Gen 12:3b) applies to all who are involved in the abortions.  This includes the abortion Doctor and his staff, the tax payer and the law makers who force us to pay the tax that funds the clinic and the pregnant one who went in for the abortion.  We are all culpable here; therefore we must speak up loudly and convince the government to end this abortion madness.
   Is the new born a stranger coming into the world for the first time?  Does this new born come into the world naked?  Is this new born helpless and hungry?   Does he need to be taught to Love and Respect God?  Remember Jesus’ life was sought for destruction while He was yet an infant.
[READ]
    Mat 25:31-46 When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory: And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats: And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.
   Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:  For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in: Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me.
   Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? Or thirsty, and gave thee drink? When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? Or naked, and clothed thee? Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee?
   And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.
   Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels: For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not.
   Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee? 
   Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me.  And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.

valley of Decision


America is in the valley of decision.  We are being overwhelmed by demands to change our form of government.  Those demands are coming in the forms of deception and outright threats against our safety.  What will be America's Choice?  Will she choose Communism?  Will she choose Islam?  Will she choose State-ism?  Will America choose for or against our God?  Will America forget her God and sacrifice her American Constitution for safety.  If so I have a question!?  Which kind of government gave Americans safety more safety than has our Constitutional Republic?  Which god really is God?  Which god is causing the breakdown of peace?  Which God gave His Life for our Salvation?  Which god forces his adherents to murder?  Which God over the process of time taught the ways of peace and gave us the power to defend it?

America's answer to these questions will determine her future.

Which is more important: Kings or their subjects; Governments or the governed? When the subjects are few, doubtful is the power of Kings and Governments. If I have much knowledge and no one to teach, am I a teacher? If I have Great power and authority and have nothing or no one to govern what good is it? What if I am not given consent to give my knowledge or use my great power and authority?

“They define him, they elevate him. Without them he is just a man”.

When we act power is given to something or someone. Is that power appropriately given? Who is best trusted with power in our lives? If I give power to another does that transfer my guilt to him? - 0h she – Oh he – Oh they - I was just following orders – Reciprocity – Does it work to shed guilt? What does God think? If a King commits evil is the guilt only his and not ours which gave him power? Is the power his or is it ours we who bestowed it?

There is only One Who has un-meted Power and Authority because there is no one higher than He.

We will - in the End - be judged by God Himself collectively and individually. We will – in the End – be responsible for our deeds done on earth. We will –in the End – acknowledge God’s righteousness and bow the knee to Him.

A beginning Premise here is: We are guilty of our own shame and not the shame of others. Bottom line we are responsible for only three things which simply are 1. What we choose to do 2. What we choose to think 3. What we choose to feel. That boils down to Choice.

Therefore the American people are only responsible for their choices. If we choose a government that lives up to the the law of land then well and good; if not, then we the people are responsible in that we have the right and duty to remove that government.   Governments are run by humans.  Governments are not gods.  We have the right and yes, the duty to remove that government when it is breaking the law of land. In America that law is The Constitution of The United States of America.

Will America choose to defend all that is and was good and right about our nation?  America is this world’s last stand for Freedom and Liberty, the freedom to worship God; the liberty to think for ourselves.  “Life Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness” that phrase is important to most Americans.  How much Life, Liberty and Happiness are we willing to lose before we fight back?  Please do not let our children become hostage to evil designs.  Save America for the Children.

It was reported By Daily Mail Reporter
updated at 7:31 PM on 1st April 2011
That
Ten UN Members murdered in Afghanistan....two were beheaded. Today: The Religion of Peace strikes again even against their Sympathizers (The hapless U.N.). Let this be a lesson to the Appeasers of Islam everywhere. They likewise will show no mercy for you. May this be the - wakeup call - to the deceived and may the winds of - Political Correctness - shift before it is too late. It is now April 4th 2011 and the death toll is growing.

To be Civilized or Not to be
Muslims riot over every, even minor, excuse and commit murders, rapes and many other degrading and inhuman acts all in the name of their god Allah. All this happens because their god is an evil invention of the Devil, invented to cause men and women to become exceedingly violent.

How many Christians murdered UN persons over the putting of our Holy Scriptures in a jar of urine? Our Holy Scriptures which is God’s Word has been desecrated every way you can think of. Muslims have no respect; they have urinated on the Bible and wiped their excrement with its pages. They murdered our ministers burned our Churches and desecrated places called Holy. How many Christians have rioted over any of these acts? Islam is the doctrine of demons and makes monsters such as depicted in the movie "Lord of the Rings". The movie depicted a fiery pit where demonized creatures were being turned out against the civilized people who believe in God.

The truth is God gave us a Holy Book that has over time civilized many adherents. Iniquity is bound up in the heart of a child therefore children must be taught to shun it and practice Righteousness. Proverbs 22:15 Foolishness is bound in the heart of a child; but the rod of correction shall drive it far from him. Luke 18:15-17 And they brought unto him also infants, that he would touch them: but when his disciples saw it, they rebuked them. But Jesus called them unto him, and said, Suffer little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God. Verily I say unto you, whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child shall in no wise enter therein.

In the early visible Church there were a great number of people who acted wild as these Muslims. There are now over the course time and the teaching of The Bible (God’s word) far fewer wild murderous people in the visible Church. That is because God in His word teaches us better behavior such as to practice the attributes of God’s Holy Spirit. Galatians 5:22-24 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.

I used the term “visible Church” above for it is what people see as in think of. Now there is a Church that is the real church which is made up of true believers and not Christian in name only. This is a Church not made of wood or stone fastened together with nails and cement. This is the Church Jesus spoke of when he said “The gates of hell shall not prevail against”. It is a Holy organism made up of those who received Jesus and have gotten son-ship of God. These have been filled with God’s Holy Spirit and worship Him. This is the True Church “The Church of Jesus Christ” the Son of the Living God who gave His life for ours and reconciled us unto The Great God and Father of all things.

The Muslims are captured by Islam and the Koran deception. They are lead to believe they are serving the real God. They are, however, trapped into following the bidding of a false god. This is the snare of the devil which keeps their minds captive and Satan takes them according to his will. Satan leads them to hell while they believe God is pleased with their deeds.

Jesus died for all sinners so it is our duty to at least pray for the salvation of Muslims and witness at every opportunity. They are human beings and the devil as a roaring lion is seeking to devour them and make their lost estate permanent. A good way to think about it is: they need to be rescued, they are captured just like a soldier on a battle field and they are POWs stolen from us.

Now: Concerning the burning of the Koran by a certain man in Florida. God has given us much to say and do and the rest is better left to God. In due time, God will destroy all that needs to be destroyed. Soon nothing of this world will be left only Love. 1Corinthians 13:12-13 for now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known. And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity. also see Ecclesiastes 1-8
Can a GOOD MUSLIM be a GOOD AMERICAN?

This came from one who worked in Saudi Arabia for 20 years. Question: "Can a GOOD MUSLIM be a GOOD AMERICAN"?

1. Theologically? – No! Because of their religion and their allegiance is – only - to Allah, The moon god of Arabia.
2. Religiously? – No! Because of the teachings of Islam freedom of religion is not allowed under the yoke of Allah. (Quran, 2:256)(Koran)
3. Scripturally? – No! Because of their allegiance is only to the five Pillars of Islam and the Quran. And the fact that the only true assurance a Muslim has of salvation is to die while killing non-Muslims
4. Geographically? – No! Because of his allegiance is to Mecca, to which he turns in prayer five times a day.
5. Socially? – No! Because of their allegiance to Islam forbids them to be friends with Christians, Jews or any other people on the planet.
6. Politically? – No! Because they must submit to the mullahs (spiritual leaders), who teach annihilation of Israel and destruction of America, the great Satan.
7. Domestically? – No! Because he is allowed to marry four Women and beat and scourge his wife when she disobeys him. (Quran 4:34)
8. Intellectually? – No! Because they cannot accept the American Constitution since it is based on Biblical principles, and he or she believes the Bible to be corrupt.
9. Philosophically? – No! Because of the teachings of Islam which are antithetical to The Constitution of the United States and the American way of life. Democracy and Islam cannot Co-Exist. Every Muslim government is either Dictatorial or Autocratic.
10. Spiritually? – No! Because when we declare 'one nation under God, The Christian's God is loving and kind, while Allah is NEVER referred to as Heavenly father, or EVER called LOVE in the Quran's 99 names of Allah.
11. Racially? – No! Because Islamic teaching is racist in that Arabians are said to be the best of all peoples and Black Africans are the lowest. - Tabari IX: 69 - Ishaq: 243 - Ishaq: 144

Therefore, after much study and deliberation... Perhaps we should be very suspicious of ALL MUSLIM groups in this country. They obviously cannot be both 'Good' Muslims and Good Americans. Denying these facts does not make it go away, it's still the Truth. You had better believe it. The more who understand this, the better it will be for our country and our future. The religious Jihad war is bigger than we know or understand.

Footnote: The Muslims have said they will destroy us from within. FREEDOM IS NOT FREE. THE MARINES WANT THIS TO ROLL ALL OVER THE U.S.A. SILENCE, APATHY and DENIAL has been going on to many Decades...this is why the pale of danger is hanging over America now... You can ask; how I can help. Contact all your Senators and Congressman. - Copy and Paste this article - Educate – mobilize - Volunteer - Donate - Support our local Republicans – Support Tea Party Chapters...

Israel and The truth about Arab claims

There are a lot of claims about the land Israel lives in; here are the facts that Muslims and the press do not tell us.
1. Israel became a nation in 1550 B.C.E., two thousand one hundred years before the rise of Islam.
2. Arabs began identifying themselves as Palestinian after 1967, two decades after the establishment of the modern State of Israel.
3. Since the Jewish conquest in 1400s B.C.E, the Jews had dominion over the land for one thousand years with a continuous presence in the land for the past 3,411 years.
4. The only Arab domination since the conquest in 635 C.E. lasted no more than 22 years.
5. From the time of King David, Jerusalem has been the Jewish capital. Jerusalem has never been the capital of any Arab or Muslim entity. Even when the Jordanians occupied Jerusalem, they never sought to make it their capital, and Arab leaders did not come to visit. King David was born about 1035 and Becomes King 1000yrs before Jesus birth and makes Jerusalem Israel’s Capital about 997B.C.E.
6. Jerusalem is mentioned 814 times in the Bible. Jerusalem is not mentioned once in the Koran.
7. King David founded the city of Jerusalem which was previously called Salem where Melchizedek king of Salem priest of the highest God lived. Mohamed never came to Jerusalem.
8. Jews pray facing Jerusalem. Muslims pray facing Mecca.
9. Arab and Jewish refugees: Arabs were not driven out of their homes. Following the UN decision on Partition in 1948, the Arab refugees were encouraged to leave Israel by Arab leaders, promising to purge the land of Jews. They argued that an "Arab presence" would only get in the way of the planned devastation. Sixty-eight percent left without ever seeing an Israeli soldier.
10. The Jewish refugees were forced to flee from Arab counties due to Arab brutality, persecution and pogroms. (A Pogrom is; an organized persecution or extermination of an ethnic group)
11. The number of Arab refugees who left Israel in 1948 is estimated to be around 630,000. The number of Jewish refugees absorbed by Israel from Arab countries is estimated to be about the same.
12. Arab refugees were INTENTIONALLY not absorbed or integrated into the Arab lands to which they fled, despite the vast Arab territory. Out of the 100,000,000 refugees since World War II, theirs is the only refugee group in the world that has never been absorbed or integrated into their own peoples' lands. Jewish refugees were completely absorbed into Israel, a country with about the same land mass as the state of New Jersey.
13. The Arabs are represented by eight separate nations, not including the Palestinians. There is only one Jewish nation. The Arab nations initiated all five wars and lost. Israel defended itself each time and won.
14. The P.L.O.'s Charter still calls for the destruction of the state of Israel. Israel has given the Palestinians most of the West Bank and autonomy under the Palestinian Authority, and has supplied their police and security forces with weapons.
15. Under Jordanian rule, Jewish holy sites were desecrated and the Jews were denied access to places of worship. Jewish grave markers were used to build public urinals in occupied Jerusalem. Under Israeli rule, all Muslim and Christian sites have been preserved and made accessible to people of all faiths.
16. The U.N. record on Israel and the Arabs of the 175 Security Council resolutions passed before 1990, 97 were directed against Israel -- notwithstanding the fact that the Arabs refused to participate in the 15 nation United Nations Commission of Palestine which recommended partition in 1948 and sought immediately to undo its work by force of arms.
17. Of the 690 General Assembly resolutions voted on before 1990, 429 were directed against Israel.
18. The U.N. was silent while 58 Jerusalem Synagogues were destroyed by the Jordanians between 1948 and 1967.
19. The U.N. was silent while the Jordanians systematically desecrated the ancient Jewish cemetery on the Mount of Olives between 1948 and 1967.
20. The U.N. was silent while the Jordanians enforced an apartheid-like policy of preventing Jews from visiting the Temple Mount and the Western Wall between 1948 and 1967.

Their attitude stems from the fact that they are descendants of Ishmael and Esau who rejected faith in the God of Abraham their father. They have been taught the lies and half truths from the Muslims by whom they are surrounded. Not having the opportunity to view information from other sources is a handicap to learning truth.

Envy and jealously along with bitterness among Arabs goes back to the times of Ishmael and Esau.

The Godly line of history - red line of history - did not include those branches of Abraham’s family tree because of unbelief.

The red line of history starts with Adam then Seth, Noah, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, on to David, Nathan and finally Mary and Joseph. All these people made decisions to follow God who promise to give the world The Savior.

Abraham being the first man of the post diluvial age to believe in one God and following Him in faith and obedience is called, in scripture, ‘the father of all them that believe’, as he did. Ishmael’s descendants and Esau chose instead the beggarly elements of this life.

The Arabs are not cut off from receiving the Salvation of God. They have the same opportunity we all have to receive Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. Having opportunity must be mixed with faith and obedience in the only Begotten Son of God.

All who are choosing the beggarly elements of the world remain under the Adamic curse which is separation from God Who is the source of life. In the Bible we learn curses can be broken and the sentence of death turned to life through faith in The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob; because faith in God overcomes all curses. READ: John 1:10-13 He was in the world and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not. He came unto his own, and his own received him not. But as many as received him, to them gave He power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. John 1:17 For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.

Some people call themselves Jewish by religion and some actually descended from Abraham. These Blood descendants have had a presence in the land which God gave them for more than 3500yrs. The rest of populations of the Jews have lived dispersed, for more than 2000yrs, throughout the nations of the earth. God had promised to return them to the land in the end times. By The Way... It is an ongoing miracle to see the only people in history to live without the control of their land remain a people and still know which land is theirs, and now watching as The God of Abraham is fulfilling His promise to Abraham's children.
Read:
Gen 12:1-3 Now the LORD had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, unto a land that I will shew thee: And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shall be a blessing: And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curses thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.

The Modern Arabs are some of the Grand Children of Abraham; they have spread out over the earth and with their religion control nearly half the population of the world.

Some of Abraham's Children remained in the faith of their father Abraham and the promise was passed down to them. Some did not and they followed other paths more important to them. These two are Ishmael and Esau and Arabia was filled by their children. Isaac, Jacob and Judah all kept the faith and they got little Israel. God said; in 1Ki 9:3 "And the LORD said unto him, I have heard thy prayer and thy supplication, that thou hast made before me: I have hallowed this house, which thou hast built, to put my name there forever; and mine eyes and mine heart shall be there perpetually". Now The Children of Jacob entered into covenant with God, Ishmael and Esau did not. They went after other gods attributing no importance to the God of their father Abraham.

Therefore the Arabs have jealousy, envy, bitterness, and hatred of the Jews. Mohamed in the seventh century invents Islam and takes advantage of this latent animosity. These people are told lies and half truths about this history. Even Christians who live within the borders of Muslim nations never get a chance to hear the truth. (Mohamed was founder of Islam 635)

The upside of airport outrages

Patrick Oliver Griswold November 23 at 2:36pm
Representative Barbara Lee (D-CA) sits on her throne of the Congressional Black Caucus, contemplating the word "oreo".

As co-chair of the Caucus she gets three race cards, (the lesser members carry only one), and has chosen to give it to Thomas Sowell. Because of the redundancy and ineffectiveness of the label "oreo", (she last used it to describe another "Tom", the honorable Clarence Thomas), the term seems impotent and archaic; too cliche for the modern and sophisticated liberal progressive of today.

She decides to let the term dominate her thoughts rather than speak the word. She has also learned to avoid referring to conservative black men and women as " niggers" publicly. Only when a little tipsy at a lavish lobbyist-sponsored Black Caucus cocktail party does she tip her hand.

She is outraged with Thomas Sowell for his intelligent and prolific writings uncovering the hypocrisy and deceit of the Black radical left's hoax. A degree in Rocket Science is not required to see the lunacy and evil intent of the true agenda of black politicians in power: to undermine and fool their black costituients while lining their pockets with payola; that the calls for racial equlity, entitlement policy, and a return to affirmative action are insincere and hollow; that these black communist ideologues are about self-interest only. Thomas Sowell points to their true nature: criminal thugs engaged in criminal enterprise masking themselves as champions of their "people".

Rocket scientists don't get it and honestly don't care. But "we the people" do get it. That Dr. Sowell, a morally upright and intelligent conservative black man gets it, and has the legitimacy to expose it, not only enrages the black criminal politicians, they are attempting to issue a "social fatwa" against him.

But for now, Barbara Lee holds her tongue and refrains from calling him an "oreo" in public. She refers to Thomas Sowell as an enemy of black Americans. She pulls the race card against him. But in her mind he is an oreo. She knows he's right. As her criminal enterprise know as the Congressional Black Caucus unravels around her, she knows he is right.

It's all Gone

Five kids knocked on the door Halloween night.
The lady of the house had just set up a ton of candy.
She answered the door "and who are you she asked"?
One said "I am Prince Charming", the second said "I am Snow white"
Three of them were costumed in one long document and, with curiosity, the lady of the house asked;
"What are you"? They answered in unison.
"We are
The Declaration of Independence -
The Constitution of The United States -
The Bill Of Rights,
we work together".
Just then a BIG RED DOLLAR SIGN
came up
tied to a
BIG RED MINUS.
The Lady of the house asked "
and what are you"?
They answered
"WE ARE CONGRESS AND THE NATIONAL DEBT".
The lady of the house said
"VERY SCARY"
and she dumped the ton of candy into their BIG bag.
She, looking at the first five, then said,
“it's all gone”
She closed the door.
The first five went without,
and cried all the way home.

There Was a People


There was a time... there was a place
Where the people knew peace...
Peace like a river they had

They fought hard... sacrificed and worked
They looked to the future blessing
By Their deeds their children's future
Joyfully Singing
Praise God... Praise God... Praise God... Praise God

Blessings, the children inherited
After a long time and many generations
They began to forget how blessing comes

Soon the children lost sight blinded they were
The future was lost to them living for now
For the now they lived forgetting... consequences
Blindly Singing
Hallelujah... Hallelujah... Hallelujah... Hallelujah 

The children inheriting a new deal
Forgot how to bless their children
Building for the children forgotten

They played and wasted the inheritance
Playing is fun you know 
It was all about fun
Blindly Singing
Hallelujah... Hallelujah... Hallelujah... Hallelujah 

They didn't see what it meant
What it meant for their children
Caring not and living to their-selves

The peace was gone... O! The peace was gone...
Slaves they became... O! They worked so hard
With no gain! Prosperity gone, all they had,
A broken
Future... A Broken Future... A Broken Future... A Broken Future 

They played hard... They Sacrificed not
They looked not to the future... cursing
By their deeds their chidren's future

There was a time... there was a place
Where the people knew no peace...
No more peace like a river... All they have left,
An empty Hallelujah
Hallelujah... Hallelujah... Hallelujah... Hallelujah

The True Constant

God has set boundaries for mankind; within those parameters He promises general protection for their nation.  If we bind together with those in rebellion with God what will that mean?  Wouldn't that mean working with those who are set against God's purpose?  And that would position us out side of God's purpose and Protection.


Rome was, in its beginning, a nation of high moral standards as compared to pagan peoples of those days.  So they were allowed to become powerful, rich and successful.  Over the course of time their morality became decadence and debauchery and they rejected God. And they used their gods to condone their evil deeds.  Then they turned in hatred against God's people trying to murder them all.  So God brought and allowed destruction to fall on the most powerful and richest nation in the world. Staying close to God and remaining moral is a matter of national security.  Israel did much the same thing and God, also, left them alone without His hand of protection.

God's commission for the Church is for convincing the world to follow Him. Not force! but by reason and credible evidence. Teaching them to believe and receive salvation by faith in Jesus.

It is for national governments to know God's will and make laws that help the public stay with in God's boundaries. It is a matter of national security. If we as Christians influence our national and local leaders to fear God, and to produce laws to that end, then we have saved many people.  STAYING CLOSE TO GOD AND REMAINING MORAL IS A MATTER OF NATIONAL SECURITY.

History is full of  many nations with the same story.  God is the same to every nation, kindred and tongue; as he is and was to Israel so shall He be to all. What God was He is and will always be. There is real comfort in knowing that God and His boundaries never change. I know that though the world and men may change God will never change; He is the true constant.

 I believe John Winthrop's message below is to this generation; this land and our Constitutional way life is ours to keep.  And keep it we must... the alternative is described in Joel 1:1-7  The word of the LORD that came to Joel the son of Pethuel. Hear this, ye old men, and give ear, all ye inhabitants of the land. Hath this been in your days, or even in the days of your fathers? Tell ye your children of it, and let your children tell their children, and their children another generation.  That which the palmerworm hath left hath the locust eaten; and that which the locust hath left hath the cankerworm eaten; and that which the cankerworm hath left hath the caterpiller eaten. Awake, ye drunkards, and weep; and howl, all ye drinkers of wine, because of the new wine; for it is cut off from your mouth. For a nation is come up upon my land, strong, and without number, whose teeth are the teeth of a lion, and he hath the cheek teeth of a great lion. He hath laid my vine waste, and barked my fig tree: he hath made it clean bare, and cast it away; the branches thereof are made white.


John Winthrop's City upon a Hill, 1630
Now the only way to avoid this shipwreck and to provide for our posterity is to follow the Counsel of Micah, to doe Justly, to love mercy, to walk humbly with our God, for this end, we must be knit together in this work as one man, we must entertain each other in brotherly affection, we must be willing to abridge our selves of our superfluities, for the supply of others necessities, we must uphold a familiar Commerce together in all meekness, gentleness, patience and liberality, we must delight in each other, make others Conditions our own rejoice together, mourn together, labor, and suffer together, all ways having before our eyes our Commission and Community in the work, our Community as members of the same body, so shall we keep the unity of the spirit in the bond of peace, the Lord will be our God and delight to dwell among us, as his own people and will command a blessing upon us in all our ways, so that we shall see much more of his wisdom power goodness and truth then formerly we have been acquainted with, we shall find that the God of Israel is among us, when ten of us shall be able to resist a thousand of our enemies, when he shall make us a praise and glory, that men shall say of succeeding plantations: the lord make it like that of New England: for we must Consider that we shall be as a City upon a Hill, the eyes of all people are upon us; so that if we shall deal falsely with our God in this work we have undertaken and so cause him to withdraw his present help from us, we shall be made a story and a byword through the world, we shall open the mouthes of enemies to speak evil of the ways of God and all professors for Gods sake; we shall shame the faces of many of Gods worthy servants, and cause their prayers to be turned into Curses upon us till we be consumed out of the good land whether we are going: And to shut up this discourse with that exhortation of Moses that faithful servant of the Lord in his last farewell to Israel Deut. 30. Beloved there is now sett before us life, and good, death and evil in that we are Commanded this day to love the Lord our God, and to love one another to walk in his ways and to keep his Commandments and his Ordinance, and his laws, and the Articles of our Covenant with him that we may live and be multiplied, and that the Lord our God may bless us in the land whether we go to possesses it: But if our hearts shall turn away so that we will not obey, but shall be seduced and worship other Gods our pleasures, and profits, and serve them, it is propounded unto us this day, we shall surely perish out of the good Land whether we pass over this vast Sea to possess it; Therefore let us choose life, that we, and our Seed, may live; by obeying his voice, and cleaving to him, for he is our life, and our prosperity.

I Choose God to be my God Forever

I heard someone say, "I want to be on the winning side" and we all know Jesus is of the winning side.

That thought struck me differently that night. I began to think what if the enemy started looking like the winner; would I still want to be on God’s side? Then the history of God began to roll through my head. I remembered how good God is. I then thought God is so good that I did not want to be with the other side even if they did - God forbid - win.

Then I remembered how the devil convinces men to do evil things. How the devil hates us with all his heart. How he has caused much pain and suffering upon mankind. Then I asked myself… Why would anyone want to spend eternity with him?

Oh then another thought came to me. God loves us so, that being with him would be heaven for me. He gave us Jesus who died for our sins. He gave us the Holy Spirit to dwell within. For by Him we are guided and taught always. He gave us many gifts to heal and to comfort.

Oh yes again, I said to myself, I choose God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit to be my God for ever. I choose the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. The God of Rachael, Leah and Ruth this is my God. It does not matter if He looses. Forever God is my God and the people of God are my people. Where ever we live we will live there in love and harmony forever.
