What are the Qumran Caves? How do they intersect with some of the greatest events in modern secular and spiritual history? Most history-hating Americans (made so by their teachers) could care less, but those who know something about the Bible and their faith will realize their supreme importance! We could do without the U.S. Capitol, and the Supreme Court, and a number of other august but hopelessly corrupted bodies of the Federal Government (and still remain Christians, able to function as Christians), but the Qumran Caves--they would be a sore loss, indeed, to the Christians through the ages!

A great privilege, indeed, I took this picture on my first tour of Israel. It came to mean more to me once I realized that 1947, the year these caves became known to the whole world, was the year of my father's sudden death, a life changing event for me and my whole family and unknown numbers of other people too. 1947 was the year also that Israel came to birth, with independence for the national sovereign state of Israel declared officially in 1948 in Tel Aviv, and President Truman declaring U.S. recognition of Israel only minutes later. 1947 was the year of epic advances in supersonic jet aircraft in the U.S. But the most far reaching event of 1947, equalling that of Israel's rebirth as a nation, was the Qumran Caves finally giving up their secrets held hidden in them for thousands of years, as two Bedouin goatherds discovered in them the Qumran manuscripts called the Dead Sea Scrolls. To recall this great discovery, we plan to include an article here about the Dead Sea Scrolls and the Great Isaiah Scroll in particular.

I Peter 4:8: "But the end of all things is at hand; therefore, be serious and watchful in your prayers." In line with this prophetically: "Because thou hast kept the word of My patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world to try them that dwell upon the earth. Behold, I come quickly, hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown."--Rev. 3: 10,11

AN OPEN DOOR TO THE BIBLE AND UNDERSTANDING IT

WORLD'S GREATEST BOOK CAN BE UNDERSTOOD IF GIVEN A CHANCE: Beyond question, the greatest book in the world is the Bible, and the greatest Book is about the greatest Person, Jesus Christ (Yeshua the Anointed).

The Books of the Bible




The Word of God is worth more than rubies and much gold or even this $1,000,000 greenback. No amount of money and treasure in the world can compare with it or equal it in value. God's word, unlike earthly wealth, lasts forever. Diamonds will not even last forever, but the Word of God will never cease to exist, as the Bible and the God of the Bible declare. Unlike worldly riches, this greatest, most lasting Treasure is available for everyone to take and possess. But the incredible fact is, it is most sadly neglected, even by Christians! Few take advantage of True Riches, so these deluded dumbclucks remain spiritually impoverished, choosing the world's passing pleasures and treasures, seeking what will be garbage someday instead of the Pearl of Great Price that lasts forever and ever and ever.

Cash in the check heaven gives you, and you get everything promised on it! The Bank of Heaven will always be solvent, so it will never, never, never bounce and you get hit by returned check charges! God the Father stands behind it, and He has all the money in the Universe at his disposal. And in Christ we are heirs to it!

MY NEIGHBOR'S BIBLE:

HOW DOES YOU NEIGHBOR READ YOU, FRIEND? WHAT KIND OF BIBLE ARE YOU AND I? OBVIOUSLY, WE MUST BE WORTHLESS, CRACKED, AND TARNISHED REFLECTORS/TRANSMITTORS OF CHRIST AND THE SAVING GOSPEL, BECAUSE WE HAVE CERTAINLY LOST AMERICA'S SOUL (AND NOW ITS FEDERAL GOVERNMENT AND PRESIDENCY) TO PAGANISM, ATHEISM, SECULAR HUMANISM, FILTH AND PONOGRAPHY ANDE VIOLENCE, AND INCREASINGLY (IF THOSE THINGS WEREN'T EVIL ENOUGH) TO RADICAL, SHARIA-LAW AND WAHIBIST ISLAM FROM SAUDI ARABIA:

I am my neighbor's Bible,

He reads me when we meet;

Today he reads me in my home.

Tomorrow in the street.

He may be relative or friend,

He may be strange to me;

He may not even know my name,

Yet, he is reading ME.

B.I.B.L.E.--"Basic Instruction Before Leaving Earth"--Acronym by Pastor John Hagee, Cornerstone Church, San Antonio, Texas.

The Bible is also the best book to take into outer space! Apollo Moon Mission astronauts carried a Bible to the Moon and put one there, along with some artifacts (the ACLU, if it could get to the Moon, would remove it, of course, but they are probably not going to get there anytime soon). Why? Is it not that they recognized that the Bible is the greatest book the earth has to offer as a testament to what Earth is, and all Creation too--the handiwork of God Almighty, who is the Creator of the entire Universe? The Moon Missions were a phenomenal success, thanks in large part to the genuine honor that was attributed to God the Creator and in placing His holy word, the Bible, on the Moon surface for an lasting memorial to Him. Since that highpoint, NASA abandoned God (please go to Abraham Lincoln's remarks about our nation abandoning God as far back as his own time, 150 some years ago), turned back to humanism and exalting men and their achievements, not the basis for their success, which could only be God. NASA has subsequently become a very expensive bungler, and achieved little of note, and other nations with their space programs have rapidly filled the void of leadership that NASA held for about ten years. Humanism is the god of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory and the Houston Space Center and Cape Kennedy--not the One True God of the Universe and His Son Jesus. And secularist Humanism is a failed and ignoble god. Imagine, exalting fallible, sinful, stumbling man over the Almighty God! What a farce! But that is what NASA and the scientific community engaged in space exploration has done--and we have suffered terrible decline in that vital sphere of scientific and technological endeavor. Now crackpot, rogue, retrogressive nations like Iran are putting satellites into space, that they can use against us to defeat us in a nuclear exchange as well as use to annihilate Israel and all the Jews residing there. That is the grim consequence of NASA's apostasy, the direct result of NASA's opting to bow before the vain, stupid, useless god of Humanism and Secularism.

We have our own Acronym at the Emmaus Walk, targeted for the youth specifically, with a space exploration slant: B.I.B.L.E.--"Blasting Into Blessing, Life Eternal". Why creep, crawl, slither, stumble, fall into blessing? Why NOT BLAST LIKE A NASA ROCKET AT CAPE KENNEDY? How about yours? You have each the masterpiece brain God made and gave to you to use--use it! Make an acronym of your own with your own special meaning! How about "Believing In Blest Life Eternal"? Surely, that is the whole purpose of the Book--getting us heavenly-minded, off all the foolish and worthless trivia of this life, and firmly on the road to heaven, our souls saved and sanctified and focussed on the Lord's work while we are still here in this earthly dimension. "Too heavenly minded to be earthly good"? That old lie of the Devil has stopped many a foolish Christian from plunging further on and taking heaven by violence (the only way you can get a larger portion of heavenly blessings, as scripture itself tells us). Want little, then seek little--for little is what you will be rewarded with. Want much, then go for much--and the Lord will be with you every step of the way forward, however difficult and impossible it is. How do climbers ever ascend Mt. Everest and other cloud-busting mountains in the Himalayas? They go one little step at a time, attempting the impossible gradually, and eventually, if they just continue and not quit, the Impossible is conquered, they have made it to the summit of the world! They are overcomers, they are victorious! They have triumphed over their own weakness and short-comings in the process too. So it is spiritually. We have all we could possibly want or imagine in Christ (and an infinite amount more besides that we cannot imagine)), as the Bible promised, but why not enjoy some of it now, come into possession of more of it now, even win much of it now--rather than hope vainly it will be dumped on us in heaven, when we haven't done one blessed thing, haven't exercised our mustard-seed-sized faith toward conquering a singled difficult circumstance in our path or won one soul to Christ that was going directly to hell. No, we need not be deadbeats in the kingdom of God. God knows no favorites, he is not partial to one person above the other, he offers the whole kingdom of heaven to every genuine believer in the Lord--He will equip and empower every person, however small and insignificant and powerless, to conquer Mt. Everest and attain the Victor's crown for doing the Impossible with God's strength and guidance. Let's follow Christ, who first showed us how to do it, and did it, so we could follow His example and do the greatest things. He said to his astonished disciples, that those after him would do GREATER things than even He did. Walking on the water, turning stones to bread, putting tax money in a fish's mouth, breaking Peter's nets with a huge catch of fish he never saw before in all his fishing experience, healing all the sick in a city or village, raising people from the dead, saving souls and forgiving them--nothing could stop Him doing the Impossible, for the is the God who does the Impossible. If we are truly believers in Jesus Christ, our gun sights must not be a whit lower than the bull's eye in the target--we must do the Impossible, and expect to do it, and by faith and God's help and almighty power we will do it!

Pastor Ron Phillips, Message on "What to Do when things get worse."

GRATITUDE TO GOD CENTER:

In the midst of a leftist-swerving nation and perversion-promoting society that is hell-bent, a nation and a people who have abandoned God, I still praise and thank God for sending Jesus Christ, the most illustrious, triumphant, saving God-Man known to earth (all the other "teachers" and religion founders are mere men, unable to save even their own souls from hell). God is everything I need or will ever need. America will pass away, sooner or later, and join all the nations that forsook common sense, forsook sanity, forsook righteousness, forsook truth and the laws of God, for rubbish and garbage and filth and satanic bondage. America will be destroyed, catastrophically, I believe, if our enemies are not restrained by God. They all have the names of our cities chalked on their missiles and bombs, and are just waiting for the right moment to strike when we seem most unaware, most sleepy, and confident in ourselves. Those terms "unaware," "sleepy," "self-confident," describe us in the churches and outside the churches in America right now, in fact. Listen to the garbage spewing forth from the White House mouthpieces--it is all designed to make us even more unaware, sleepy, and self-confident in order to railroad Americans into trusting Obama, not God, for their destinies and well-being and security.

But God is not mocked by these lying, deceitful, deceiving, puffed-up vermin installed as our national leaders. His Holy Word, and his Judgments, will not fail to exact the full punishment we deserve for perversion of innocence in children and for destruction of children in the womb to make billions of bucks for Planned Parenthood. Herod died horribly soon after he had the children of Bethlehem executed in order to wipe out the Messiah of the Jews, Jesus. Herod is roasting in hell in the most terrible pain, and most of his countrymen the Edomites along with his Jewish collaborators, with him. The bill came due for him and his kind, and is being paid, for all eternity, for endless years and uncountable eternities. Our bill, fellow Americans, fellow Christians, is now due. We will pay it, make no mistake about that! We have already been paying the accrued interest in the terrific catastrophes of 9/11 and the hurricanes that destroyed New Orleans and much of the southern coasts. The full destruction of America is just around the corner or, rather, on our doorstep waiting to spring, like a Siberian tiger, at our throats! This is something we can expect, for God and His Word will never fail, not one word of it. Look what happened to the Soviet Union--it has crumbled to dust after only 70 years--all its pomp and pride broken and crushed, like those imposing statues of Lenin and Stalin dragged down from their high and towering pedestals in the public squares and national shrines and smashed into pieces and then dragged to the dump, covered with spit and scorn! Any nation that abandons righteousness and abandons God like the Soviet Union did, and this nation of America has, is doomed. We are doomed, by our own actions and refusal to repent and stop sinning against God.

The "U.S. Supreme Court," so-called, in all its profound asininity and arrogant presumption, issued a tyrannical papal bull that banned the Ten Commandments from public schools, stating that they could impair and damage the school children psychologically if they saw them posted on the wall! Really! Now we get school massacres (since the children don't know and can't be taught in the schools that killing school mates is outlawed by God as murder) rape, violence, lying, cheating, promiscuity, and all the other sins of which fallen human beings are able to commit. Their tender little minds can't be "damaged" by the Ten Commandments, but it is all right for them to be taught they are evolved animals and are free to behave accordingly! The U.S. Supreme Court, then, is responsible for this catastrophe and all the destruction it has caused America's institutions and society, and ought to be abolished, then a new court set up under new guidelines if there really has to be a court higher than the Appellate Court in Washington. Once an institution has gone so far afield of its Constitutional powers (treating the Constitution as a "living document," to be amended and changed and even ignored as they see fit), it is time to abolish this supremely Unconstitutional Court--what is sancrosanct about a failed institution that has exceeded its Constitutional powers to the point where it is more than equal to Congress and the Presidency combined? Our Founding Fathers never intended this court to be anything but a check, not a third branch of government (as it is not elected government, but an appointed judiciary, after all). There can be no reform of this kangeroo judiciary; we must start over completely fresh.

This, of course, will never happen, it is grown so decadent and diseased AND entrenched. Bad ideas have a habit, like cancer, of entrenching themselves. Now Pharaoh Obama will either pack it with his own socialist/liberal clones, or will seek to render it powerless with Congressional bills designed to strip it of its powers. He cannot remain neutral to this body of nine black arbiters of America's destiny. Either it goes HIS way, knuckling over to his demands, or he will move against it, JUST AS HITLER MOVED AGAINST ALL THE FREEDOMS OF DEMOCRATIC INSTITUTIONS IN GERMANY SO THAT HE COULD TAKE ABSOLUTE CONTROL.

RECOMMENDED CHRISTIAN BOOKS LIST:

This little book by F.B. Meyer is a classic Moody Press book, and the article, "The Holy Spirit in this Dispensation," is a message we need more than ever. We hope to feature it here soon, so look for it, and you will not be disappointed.

Most heartily recommended is this incredible but all true account of a lone Christian (she is a real Christian, not the kind that hugs a pew for dear life!) missionary woman plunging into the most barbaric, uncivilized, buggy, and hazardous jungles of northern South America in Columbia and Brazil in order to reach lost souls in the jungle tribes and villages for Christ. Where most big, strong, weight-lifting North American Christian men fear to go (and would not go if you paid them), the intrepid little Miss Sophie Muller went in their place, because she was available to the Lord, and they were not! She did not go fearless (she was not stupid, by any means, teaching literary and an aphabetizing chart to the Indians so they could become literate in their own language and then read the Bible in their own language), but she went with the strength and courage given her by her Great Commissioner, Jesus. This New Tribes Mission book is a classic, and will always be so. Miss Muller's high degree self-honesty is refreshing to see, as she points out her own short-comings and character flaws and frailties that seem to glare all the more admidst incredible dangers and hardships traversing dozens of jungle rivers, streams, swamps, and waterfalls and rapids in canoes, and sometimes swimming after the canoes capsized-- and often confronted by savage village dogs that attacked her at every opportunity, while enduring bouts of sickness, starvation, parasites such as burrowing jiggers in her feet, cold and exposure to the elements (yes, you can get chills and pneumonia in the tropics!), lack of privacy in busybody-filled villages, hostility of witch doctors, horrible unexplained demonic influences and noises that nobody could trace--there were no end of frightening, discouraging things that could have turned her back in defeat--her simple and truthful and sometimes very humorous account will have you laughing and crying and wide-eyed all the same time as you turn the pages of this little book. It is indeed easy to be a Christian in nice circumstances, but she managed it despite conditions that very nearly killed her at times and at other times merely threatened to make her jungle compost at a young age. It can be read in a few hours at most, but will be unforgettable. Now here is the bad news. I do not promise you can get it (for it was published in 1952, though it was still available as late as 1986 when our New Tribes Mission relatives sent us a copy). For contacting the New Tribes Mission HQ at Sanford, Florida, go to their website, www.ntm.org, and they may or may not be able to furnish you copies. But we will try to include some excerpts here from time to time if that happens to be the case, that you cannot get yourself a copy to read. That is all we can offer you, but you can try yourself to turn the book up and may succeed, if you say a prayer first.

Just an excerpt from her book at random to give you the flavor of this delicious book:

Chapter 2

This is the second day here in the village of Matijaipan, on the Rio Cuyari. The place reeks with yalake (fermented yuka juice). I was wondering why they stayed up almost all last night listening to the strumming of a guitar. They weren't very drunk--just too benumbed to do anything but sit. I was glad the two Kuripako men that brought me from the Rio Giania hadn't gone back yet. They tried to get them to stop drinking and go to their hammocks.

I couldn't sleep, so finally I got up and went over to the doorway of the big clay building where some were sitting, and said in Kuripako: "Kuada kurika wemaaka panaya deepi? Maapikeena noa" (Why don't we sleep tonight? I'm tired).

"Ho," they said, and broke it up for a while.

They've got the stuff in a big, hollowed log in the house where we're having the meetings. I decided not to say anything directly, though, this time, but rather let the Holy Spirit convict of sin through the Word of God, and just pray for souls to be really born again.

This is the fourth day here now, and interest in the Gospel meetings at night is wonderful. Everybody comes but the dying woman. They've just dragged the big, hollow liquor log out of the house and turned it upside down...I believe quite a few of them were really saved last night. We had the lesson on John the Baptist's testimony to the Lamb of God that takes away the sin of the world, and also the calling of the disciples and how they left all to follow him.

I showed them a picture of Judas Iscariot hanging his head--hiding, as it were, from the Light of the World. I said, "If you go to Inyaakaim's (the Devil's) village, you'll see Judas Iscariot there; but if you go to Jesus' 'village', you'll see all these others who love Him." They didn't want to see Judas. I said, "If you want to belong to Jesus, tell Him so now." Then we closed our eyes and knelt to pray. Many of the men started talking to the Lord, one right after the other. The women were afraid and only mumbled. I couldn't understand much, as it was in the Karom dialect..."

What Christian ministry or minister doesn't have a raft of books, CD's, DVD's and even Ipods out for public sale? It is absolutely incredible--is the Holy Spirit really saying all that stuff, and they all claim He is, of course! I don't think so! How do I know I have a good point, questioning all these books that are churned out by countless people and ministries for the Christian markets? This is how I know, comparison!--the fluffy-wuffy books that most Christians consume today do not compare with the books written by past great Christian evangelists such as D. L. Moody, for example. The Holy Spirit is a hot topic for all sorts of books that are expensive, glossy, and soon gone from the shelves--completely forgettable despite their hefty prices. But this book will not share their deserved fate. How do I know that? Well, even after all these years, it speaks plainly, truthfully, convincingly, and spirtually--it does not tell us things we need not know or what do not need to be said. It gives us no fluff or catchy buzzwords, only what we should know that will help us understand and become more Spirit-led Christians, and no more. See for yourself if Moody's book is not worth a thousand contemporary books in the bookstores on the Holy Spirit. You can dig it up in a library, or on Amazom.com, or by writing to the Moody Bible Institute in Chicago, or by going to the Search engines and typing in Moody's name, or any number of ways.

I believe we have featured this booklet before, but it is so excellent, here it is again. The various days are not just Jewish festivals, they are full of meaning and prophetic events for the Church Age and the Millennium to come. We Christians are so ignorant about Jewish Holy Days! It is pitiful how ignorant we are, when these Holy Days tell us so much about what is happening now and what is going to happen. God made it so. These things are not being read into them--they clearly there, and you will see that yourself if you take just a few minutes to order this book from Jews for Jesus or hop over to the Christian bookstore or go on-line to Amazom.com. Become informed! We are here to be informed, not land up in heaven as ignorant as a newborn and have to be spoon fed elemental things we should have known and learned while on earth. How embarrassed we will be if we enter heaven in such an infantile state when we are grown adults! But, sad to say, millions of us will be doing so, if they don't start changing soon and get busy on the things of God.

American Christians, even their pastors, do not read books (I do not regard anything but a good book a genuine book, it is just a time-killer). I know I was different from childhood on. I loved to read well-written, thoughtful, good books, so that it was remarked about at family gatherings that I had even asked for a book to read when visiting my grandparents! Imagine that--asking for a book to read! This is our downfall as Christians and as a civilization. We are not informed. We can be manipulated, because we do not know the facts. We know the value of reading, but we do not place reading as a high priority, and the children pick up on that, and they don't pick up a book either, after they lay aside children's books (if they ever did read them). Francis Schaeffer was one great Protestant theologian who gave us clear warnings that we would face what we are facing now right at this time--and the dire things that would happen to us if we did not take those warnings seriously. Well, we did not take them seriously. I know. I was around when his book, "How Should We Then Live," first broke on the Christian world. I was in Bible school, and it instantly became a hot topic of conversation and also a matter for the churches to deal with. But it was short-lived and superficial. The interest and concern soon waned, and silly things like consumerism, materialism, self-esteem, entertainment, and self-interest soon regained lost ground in our lives, did they not? The younger generation of Christians continued to turn, not so much to outstanding lusts and sins and rebellion against God as toward generally acceptable worldly pursuits and pleasures and careers, while the culture, devoid of true Gospel and the Word of God and true witness of Jesus from us in our lives, went straight to hell. I know this is the case, as my entire class at a Christian school went that way--and you couldn't reactivate them as Christians if you lit a stick of dynamite--they are not going to budge from their comfort zone situated smack dead center in the lost world and its satanic system.

Well, as for the popular pagan mainstream culture, you can tell from the statistics or by just looking around you or by flicking on the boob tube that the culture is in hell now, and we are pushing with might and main toward the lake of fire, following Obama and calling destruction our "future and hope." In the Study Guide that comes with the book, in Section 13, Alternatives, on p. 61, there is a summary of contents, and it starts with "Paths to Authoritarianism: the Last Five Straws."

This summary details the collapse of our civilization and the stampede into authoritarianism (Big Government and absolutist control over all society).

In the current economic melt-down and the chaos in the financial markets, the Democrats' god, Big Government, asserts itself as the answer, when it is actually the problem that created the present crisis described here as "The Last Five Straws". If this clear summary and warning from a Christian, a fellow American, who saw things with the eyes of a truth-telling prophet of God, does not wake you up, Christian, to our perilous condition as Christians in America, well, nothing, absolutely nothing, will wake you up in time to keep you out of the anti-Christ's net. Islam and secularism are also part of the current mix, that will force you one way or another, into passively shutting down as Christian or into a prison ultimately if you do not shut up about Christian beliefs and the Bible. These two allies (who hate each other, but work together to defeat a common foe, Christians) seek to eradicate the Christian world-view and consensus in America and the West, along with taking away all religious liberties for Christians by gradual encroachment of Hate Crime legislation curtailing free speech and the First Amendment, which are reserved for others when it comes to Christian expression of those liberties:

"Paths to Authoritarianism: The Last Five Straws," Excerpt With Sections II-V, from Jeremy C. Jackson's Outline of HOW SHOULD WE THEN LIVE, Francis Schaeffer

There is also the problem that existence poses, either with God or without God, either with absolutes or without absolutes. This problem has been the major driving engine of philosophies such as Romanticism, scientism, evolutionary theory, naturalism, existentialism, nihilism, forming the basis and guiding philosophies for Nazism, communism, socialism, secularism and evolutionism and the various spin-off world views they espouse and use in manipulating and indoctrinating people into supporting those authoritarian systems and their elites. We need, as Christians, to know where we are founded, on what particular world-view, lest we be actively engaged in the enemy's camp, working against the kingdom of God without knowing it. The following "Special Note" will make clearer what this existential problem is and the various false world-views that come from it that are now joined by anti-democratic authoritarisms that will truly rob us of all human meaning and purpose and Christian morality and render us mere cogs of the atheistic, amoral state machinery, while being made participants in the gross, perverse immorality the state sanctions and declares arbitrarily is the social norm.

World War I, an unbelievably stupid and savage bloodbath in which millions of young men, an entire generation in Europe, were slaughtered on the killing fields of the front trenches in France on the border with Germany, halted for a couple days, right at Christmas. A coincidence? Did a general command it? Did a president? No, not one man did it. Christmas did it, the Spirit of God wooing and drawing men's hearts in Christmas stopped the mighty Big Berthas of the Krupp artillery, and the artillery and machine guns and tanks and planes of the British and French. The front lines dissolved as men lay aside their weapons and poured across No-Man's Land and through the barbed wire barriers and hugged, shook hands, and celebrating the Reason for the Season, Jesus the Savior, Born in Bethehem!

Your children or you won't read about this, or be taught about it, by irreligious, scoffing professors in college and teachers in secondary schools, of course. But it is a fact of history, and this book chronicles this truly miraculous World War I Christmas truce and the events of it.

If they did say anything about it, the ACLU would be quick to pounce, and slap a suit on the principal and the school for "violating the doctrine of the separation of church and state." The ACLU, as a Grinch or Scrooge concerning anything Christmas-y, would never permit the free exercise of religion in any shape or form in any public place in America, except that it be a non-Christian religion, such as Islam, which has been given free rein in California schools under Governor Schwarzenegger, with children having to learn Moslem prayers!

But even the anti-Christian, atheistic, Marxist-trained lawyers of the ACLU have no power, when Christmas bursts forth in all its glory in the hearts of hopeless people. It happened once, and it can happen again. For a few hours anyway, all the national agendas and the madness of their foolish, vainglorious leaders were rendered powerless and irrelevant--and the shining light of Christ shone forth, drawing all men freely and trustingly together, making them forget they were deadly enemies. It was the the Prince of Peace, the Christ of Christmas, that brought warring Frenchmen, Germans, British, Americans, Belgians, and Austrians together into the love and wonderful embrace of Jesus, the One who created our very First Christmas in Bethlehem. Christmas was the first miracle of His ministry on earth, in fact, a miracle produced by a mere infant in the incomprehensible but glorious mystery of His own birth.

BIBLE PICTURES OF ITSELF is a wonderful thing, is it not? The Bible describes itself as LIGHT, FIRE, SEED, BREAD, MILK, HONEY, MEAT, GOLD, SWORD and HAMMER. You can order this tract from: Faith, Prayer, and Tract League, Grand Rapids, MI 49504, Bible Book Mark No. 162 ($1.80 per doz., $11 per 100).

Can you name other things the Bible is? The Gideon Pocket Bible lists a number: The Traveller's Map, the Pilgrim's Staff, the Soldier's Sword, the Christian's Charter. I just now thought of the Navigator's GPS, the Spiritual DNA for the New Creature in Christ, and the Gyro for the World's Ultimate Stability, Peace, and Welfare. How about ...? Surely, there are more, many more, which you can think of.

U.S. schools, our "great schools," have determinedly raised a generation or two of crooks and shysters and drug-sex addicts who have been polled and been shown not to care about lying or cheating or having promiscuous sex and drugs with each other after school is out, and all the rest. Their SAT scores plummet, year after year, and the whole failing system is the result of teachers' unions who care more about their secularist-liberal agendas then they do with educating young people to a love of their country and how to take a productive role in society. Revolutionaries and barbarians and outright killers--they know how to create these--but educated American students with integrity and convictions and the knowledge that can compete in the global arena--don't hold your breath!

CHRISTIAN ACTIVISM CENTER:

Go to "A Special Note" by Francis Schaeffer (offered above in the Book Center), if you don't know that every Christian, including yourself, must be an activist, or you are dead in the water, or dead on arrival--dead, dead, dead! A Christian is always in the active mode, never a retiring mode. We never retire, if we are Christians who truly follow Christ. Christ doesn't lie down and take a good, long nap, so neither can we. Soldiers don't sleep on the job. If they do, they are soon very dead soldiers, or captured at least. Be watchful and sober, the Word of God commands us. It doesn't say, "take it easy," or "Christian life isn't meant to be hard, so don't worry, it will all pan out in the end!" Christians today are mostly deadbeats, they have run away from their responsibilities. You see this in the utterly appalling statistics about us as a group. We would do better if we were Hindus perhaps, and take Hinduism more seriously than we now take our Christian faith and the Lord's Great Commission to us His Church. Look how zealously the pagans attend to their idols over in India and elsewhere. They mean business! But we are jsut the opposite. As Christians go we are mostly all nincompoops. We are fat, lazy, selfish, self-centered, and virtually useless to the Lord and His kingdom. We expect to be entertained at church...but I must quit now, before I really get to preaching.

"Speak Tenderly to Jerusalem"

The American media and press are a pack of trained, professional, conscienceless liars and deceivers. They absolutely love and adore the terrorists, Hamas and Hezbollah and the Iranian mullahs, not to mention the Pakistani terrorists who perpetrated the murders in Mumbai and the massacre and torture of a Jewish rabbi and his wife, all because they are attacking Israel and the U.S.--for they passionately hate our freedoms and want some excuse to support an authoritarian regime such as you find in Syria, Iran, and other rogue terrorist Moslem states. They won't leave America, however, however much they hate their own motherland. This is not logical, nor justified in any way, yet I can draw no other conclusion from their relentless disinformation campaigns against Israel and the U.S. Inculcated into them when they were in secondary schools and then later in college and university, they are all an organ and mouthpiece of the communist or Marxist ideology, to be sure, which is anti-christ, anti-Christian, and totalitarian. They say they are out for freedom and democracy and free speech and the like, yet they fight against them wherever they find them with their lying articles and lying reports and lying and distorted news coverage. I have watched this spectacle for years and years, and it gets worse, not better. The fall of the Soviet Union, their bosum buddy, did made them all the more determined to bring the Soviet system here, which they have now achieved in the fraudent election of Barak Hussein Obama, the tool of the Marxist takeover and makeover of a once free, democratic America.

One thing the Marxist media and press of America hate is Israel's determination to remain free and alive--they want all Isralis exterminated, to the last man, woman, and child, as soon as possible. They would be horrified if they were confronted with this fact, but their actions tell us the true intents of their wicked hearts--and their actions are all bad, bad, bad. They want Iran to attack with a nuclear bomb attached to one of the long-range Iranian missiles (whose guidance system was partly stolen from Los Alamos laboratories and the rest sold to China by Bill and Hillary Clinton and then handed over to Iran by China). With Israel wiped off the map, then the world will have peace, they believe, since they are always preaching in everything they write and film that Israel is the cause of the war and turmoil in the Middle East, not the radical terrorist Muslims of Gaza and the West Bank together withrogue totalitarian regimes of Syria, Iran, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and all the other Muslim and Arab countries surrounding Israel that seek her destruction. That grinning Cheshire cat, Jimmy Carter, is no doubt jumping inside for joy as he views that time of annihilation of the Jews drawing close, as the Iranians gather the complete amount of nuclear material from their nuclear facilities' refining of fuel which is needed to produce its first nuclear bomb and nuclear warhead. He is typical of the American press and media, speaking for them actually, as he goes and hugs and kisses the terrorist of Gaza, the West Bank, Hezbollah, and the Iranian madmen in the government.

Years ago, when I was just a boy attempting to earn some money weeding in people's yards, I was working one day in a lady's back yard to pull the grass out of beds of ivy (a very tough job), when I noticed sound of objects falling in my vicinity. I couldn't figure out what it was, until I saw the stones. Someone up on the wooded hillside above that property was throwing, not pebbles, but rocks down on me, raining them down one after the other. I couldn't continue there, a sitting duck, waiting to be hit on the head and perhaps given a brain concussion, so I left my work and went into the woods on that hillside, trying to find whoever it was, a single boy or several of them ganged up against me. I was innocent, they did not know me from Adam, for that wasn't my neighborhood, it was far from my home in the valley. But these hidden, cowardly assailants threatening my life like that did not care about who I was. They didn't know me, and I didn't know them (I couldn't even see them). Yet they continue to throw those rocks down on me, simply because they liked to terrorize an innocent person working in somebody's yard. I felt so dismayed, that anyone could be so evil as to attack me like that. I had to do something, so I tried to find my invisible attacker. Imagine, then, Israel having to endure this same kind of attack from invisible and cowardly killers who send rocket after rocket from Gaza into the southern cities, towns, and farms of Israel, striking and attempting to strike innocent men, women, and children going about their lives. I know a fraction of how that feels. It sickens you with its evil, that other human beings could treat innocent people like that. It is so devilish, so satanic. Somebody enjoys terrorizing innocent people, and so they attack, from behind a screen, keeping out of sight, but never allowing you a moment's peace as you try to go about your life and do the things necessary to survive. I know from this incident, which is unforgettable, just a fraction of what it must feel like to live in southern Israel and be subjected to the day in, day out, night in, night out barrage of missiles from Gaza's terrorist population (they are all complicit, if they are not going to root out the terrorists and stop them from attacking the Israelis who do not deserve a single rocket thrown at them). It is a hellish situation. Thank God, Israel finally did something, though it was not enough. Gaza was not rid completely of Hamas and its death-loving terrorists, the Israelis stopped short of a complete sweep. That is a pity. You cannot live with terrorists, for they will not change as long as they roam free. It must be made so painful to the Gazans, that they will refuse to support terrorism any longer. Life-loving Israel did not have the stomach to do it, though that is necessary when you deal with rabid dogs and serial killers. The only true cure is not military, of course. The only true cure is the Gospel of Jesus Christ. But defense of innocent people must be a priority. Without lives being protected, there can be no grounds for the population of Gaza to be brought to repentance and deliverance. Surely, God Almighty could have dealt that satanic organization a death blow, if the Israeli military leaders had only sought God for divine wisdom. They did not. That is obvious. Hamas was hurt, but not eradicated. Now they are getting 900 million from the U.S. to rebuild their military machine. They will do so, quickly. You, and Israel, can count on it.

"The rest of the story" in my case was that I stopped work, and left the property. I could not find the rock-throwing terrorists on the hillside, who had dense trees and undergrowth to hide in forever, so that I would never find them. Seeing it was impossible to find them and deal with them, I had to quit my job, lose the money I could have earned, and leave rather than endure the torment and possible injury of being the target of these cowards and their missiles. And so Israel is in the same position today, and Israel cannot leave the area like I could, it is a sitting duck! The cowardly Moslem terrorists have not changed. They are the same kind as I faced when I was a boy. And Israel, invading Gaza, couldn't even find them all. So they did not accomplish anything essential with their latest incursion and rat-killing operation. The rats remain there, invisible in a nest of back alleys and rooms and tunnels and secret hideaways, though a lot were killed. The rats will soon get their numbers back up (we know how prolifically rats breed), and with the tremendous aid from Obama will swiftly recoup their losses and rebuild their terrorist infrastructure, tunnels, arsenals, and rocketry. "Thank you, thank you, thank you, Baraq Hussein Obama, our beloved brother over in America!" the terrorists of Gaza, Hezbollah, Iran, and elsewhere, are saying. They gave tens of millions, even hundreds of millions, to his political and presidential campaign and to the coffers of the Democrat Party and its various mouthpieces in Congress--and now comes the payoff, a very big one indeed, with more to come no doubt from our impoverished U.S. treasury.

This is some very sad news for all you who love God, love His word, and love his Chosen People the Jews. The so-called stimulus bill just passed by Congress, which was devised by Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi for the President, has a stimulus of $900 million earmarked for Hamas. Hearing this, the Jewish voters in New York who put Hillary Clinton in her seat in the Senate, now have cause to rue their support, as she goes to bat for Hamas according to the will and policy of her master, President Obama. Imagine, $900 million, nearly a billion dollars, for more rockets that Hamas will use to fire into Israel as soon as possible, killing men, women, children, babies, old folks--indiscriminately, at all hours of the day and night, into cities far and wide as they constantly extend the range of the rockets they import from Iran their chief supplier. What does Israel gain by its recent purge of Hamas in Gaza--just more rockets, paid for by President Obama with our U.S. tax money--your money and my money. I would gladly see him impeached just for this outrage. Killing innocent children, women, men and boys, just because they are Jewish--that is the aim of Hamas, and President Obama has, by this stimulus to Hamas, thrown the weight of his presidency behind their effort to exterminate all Jews in Israel. A pox from God Almighty on this wicked president we have! Just as with the wicked pharaoh that Moses confronted, may President Obama break out, head to foot, in running sores and scabs! Let this affliction remind him that there is still a God of Israel who watches jealously over His Chosen People and their welfare. Let God arise and His enemies--which includes President Obama, Hillary Clinton his Secretary of State, and his White House staff, and the U.S. Congress--be scattered! Amen and Amen.

AMERICA'S RE-EDUCATION CENTER:

Poland, clearly one of our greatest, most loyal allies, was recently "thrown under the bus" by Barak Hussain Obama, by declaring he would give up the anti-missile defense system begun by our last President (we mean last, lawfully elected president) to protect Poland and Western Europe from Iranian missiles. I am not so unhappy for Europe, which has shown itself no friend of Israel and not very loyal to America either, as they should defend themselves, since they have the money to do so. But Poland? This is most unjust, unfair, even a dirty, low trick to deal to our loyal ally Poland. Poland deserved better, much better! Our Revolutionary Army led by General Washington was hardly in any shape, with pitiful equipments and weapons and manpower, to confront Great Britain and King George, who had the mightiest navy of the world at his disposal and armies too. We desperately needed help in that dark time, and a Polish patriot came to our aid, Kosciuszko by name.

As Norbert Letts showed clearly as far back as 1965, freedom has eroded in America to an alarming degree, but now in 2009 a landslide is occurring, forcing Authoritarism and intrusive Big Government into all our lives and work places and even the churches:

REVIVAL CENTER

Almighty God, we make our earnest prayer that Thou wilt keep the United States in Thy holy protection; that Thou wilt incline the hearts of the citizens to cultivate a spirit of subordination and obedience to government; and entertain a brotherly affection and love for one another and for their fellow citizens of the United States at large.

And finally that Thou wilt most graciously be pleased to dispose us all to do justice, to love mercy, and to demean ourselves with that charity, humility and pacific temper of mind which were the characteristics of the Divine Author of our blessed religion, and without a humble imitation of whose example in these things we can never hope to be a happy nation. Grant our supplication, we beseech Thee, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

"Who knows what God might do if His people began to PRAY FERVENTLY for spiritual revival? Perhaps one reason Satan has gained such a hold on so many lives is because we don't pray enough."--Billy Graham.

TRANSFORMING

OUR NATION

ONE PRAYER

AT A TIME

"The Preaching Power of John Wesley," by Frederick E. Maser," is now available partly on-line. Bear-bating, boxing, cockfighting, and public hangings--not television, were John Wesley's lively competition. Wesley's preaching ministry sparked a nation-wide revival that saved Britain, not only spiritually by turning millions to Christ for salvation, but saved and reformed the nation top to bottom, a nation that was going to dissolve in a few years into mob rule anarchy, revolution, and a French-style bloodbath. We need to have such a revival, desperately, in America, which is just as hopeless as Britain ever was in the 18th century when John Wesley was raised up by God to preach the liberating, transforming, saving Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Just as was prayed by many in the meetings of the Wesleys, John and Charles, we can pray in repentance to God too! Here is a prayer of repentance in the Psalms, that for thousands of years perfectly expresses the repentant cry of a sinner to his God for mercy and forgiveness and deliverance:

Psalm 60

O God, thou hast cast us off, thou hast scattered us,

thou has been displeased; O turn thyself to us again.

Thou hast made the earth to tremble; thou has broken

it, heal the breaches thereof; for it shaketh

Thou hast shewed thy people hard things; thou hast made us to drink

the wine of astonishment.

Thou hast given a banner to them that fear thee, that it may be

displayed because of the truth. Selah.

That thy beloved may be delivered, save with thy right hand,

and hear me.

God hath spoken in his holiness; I will rejoice, I will divide

Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth.

Gilead is mine, and Menasseh is mine; Ephraim also is the

strength of mine head; Judah is my lawgiver;

Moab is my washpot; over Edom will I cast out my shoe;

over Philistia, triumph thou because of me.

Who will bring me into the strong city? Who will lead me into Edom?

Wilt not thou, O God, which hadst cast us off? And thou, O God,

which didst not go out with our armies?

Give us help from trouble; for vain is the help of man.

Through God we shall do valiantly; for he it is that shall tread down

our enemies."

Women's Center:

We have already featured great women of the Bible in a number of ways (check out the poetic tributes to Deborah and Ruth), but Bible Women live outside the pages of the Book too! If you think all these heroines rise up from humble circumstances, think again. They are often born with silver spoons in their mouths. Lilias Trotter, an aristocratic, blue-blooded young lady in a wealthy family in London, was one of them. Another is Mathilda Wrede, the equally blue-blooded daughter of a baron who was the Governor of a city in Finland. She threw away the silver spoon and left her cozy gilded cage where she had every convenience and luxury she could desire and chose the way of the Cross and had a tremendous effect on the prisons of Finland. Read her story and find out how one little woman took on appalling conditions in the prisons and changed them, bringing the light of the Gospel into the most horrible, sin-darkened lives and cells (with which American prisons do not compare in the least).

INFANTICIDE/GENOCIDE CENTER:

Planned Parenthood, though investigations have finally broken out regarding the incredible corruption in its system, is so assured of its supreme position in American society (like a vast, cyclopean-sized vampire bat sucking the life blood out of the cash cow, America), it has proclaimed Saturday, or Friday (I couldn't care which day), this past week, Abortion Doctors Appreciation Day, or some such hideous title!

Imagine that! According to Planned Parenthood, we are to honor these butchers and killers and murderers? Talk about "Days of Infamy"! That has to be the ultimate Day of Infamy, not the day that the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor and slaughtered thousands of our servicemen in an unprovoked raid.

We pay these monsters of Planned Parenthood with our tax money, stolen from us by greedy, corrupt, evil-hearted, heartless Congresswomen and Congressmen--may the God have mercy on their wretched souls, for unless they repent and God forgives each of them they will all go straight to hell.

The black Americans are far down on the path to self-destruction and self-genocide, supporting Planned Parenthood and the Democrat agenda as they consistently do since the 1960s. For years that I spent in a black church, I was receiving the disturbing impression or vision of a shroud of darkness lying over the black people I saw sitting in the pews. At the time I did not know what to make of it, except that I knew most black people support abortion as they support the abortionist Democrat Party. I also knew they were not living righteously and were not obedient to God--though they put on fine shows of doing so, believe me, since they knew all the "moves" like a well-rehearsed act.

It is the most tragic thing that they have for many years now thrown away the best on earth chance for advancement of their people--citizenship in a free America. They have the advantages, hard-won, to be sure, but they have them now in a measure not found anywhere else on earth! But do they value them! Do they value the nation that gives them? No! They do not value them! They do everything they can to throw them away and to demean the nation that has given so much to themn--which makes them the envy of all the other black people on earth, which is indisputable. Yet these same folks go to Africa and talk down America as an oppressor (I have heard and seen them do this in their videos, including some chief black evangelists and televangelists throwing fistfuls of cash they were given in America and then receiving every plaudit and honor Africans can give, as if they were God's chief angels of mercy, which they are not).

It is pathetic to watch, but they are just following the examples of the corrupt white Democrats they continually vote back into office, politicians who go on junkets to the Third World nations in Africa and then talk down their country in order to get the natives over there to appreciate them the more--a sick idea, if there ever was one. The Africans are not that fooled by them, though they appreciate the gobs of cash these crooks bring in to the cash-poor African nations (resource-rich, but cash-poor, since their own politicians are robbing the public treasury for everything they can get while the mass of people scratch for a bare existence out in the fields). The Africans take the money, heap awards or honors on the visiting "dignitaries" from America, and probably are laughing all the time inside as they do it, for they can see plainly with their own eyes that America can't be such an accursed place if these black "cats" come over, flying around in their personal jets, dressed in fine tailored clothes and suits, and waving handfuls of hundred dollar bills. The Africans are not stupid! They can see America is (or lately was) the most God-blessed country on earth, bar none! They can see that the black Americans touring their countries like 19th century British nabobs in India have been made a kind of royalty by their "oppressor, America," something the people of Africa would gladly love to enjoy for a few minutes at least, if they could only change places with these shameless complainers and liars.

America has been, and still is, the best place for the advancement of blacks on this planet--if it is take advantage of, and not degraded and disregarded, that is. The black people are increasingly degrading and disregarding it, which is a fact, when you see their voting record, an abyssmal specter--voting for their own self-destruction, voting the Democrat Party Line. There is no limit to what they could all achieve if they would only wake up and smell the roses, if they would just use some individual initiative and get a solid education and take advantage of the opportunties that still abound, they have ceased to be innocent victims and have become instead, victimizers of the entire nation, destroying the freest, most blessed, most opportunity-stuffed society on earth, in order to get pathetic little goodies from the Big Government of the Democrat plantation system.

They will be reduced drastically in numbers, in relation to the Hispanics (illegal and otherwise), who are now exceeding them in numbers. Of course the population-reducing Democrats will target the Hispanics too for elimination, subjecting them to the same softening up phase of indoctrinating them with the idea they are victims. Once they get that idea, then Big Government can offer itself as the solution, their wonderful friend, who will help them in all sorts of ways. But this means the blacks will be of less standing as time goes on--still an important voting bloc, but of lesser clout than the Hispanics who outnumber them. This is rather sad for a number of reasons. The blacks did not come here illegally. They were brought in, generations ago, and the present black people are their descendants, who know little or nothing about slavery but think they know a lot. They can travel to Africa and not learn anything, as they come and go with preconceived notions about themselves, their country, and also about African countries.

Only Muhammed Ali (aka Cassius Clay) had it right. Born before the 1960's civil rights demonstrations and the birth of the Democrat's victimization programs for minorities, he still had the self-honesty and candor to reply to newsmen in New York, as soon as he flew back there from a hero's tour of South Africa, that what he thought about Africa was simply this: "Thank God, Grandpa got off the boat!"

I have a picture of a young, enormously successful Cassius Clay (aka Mohammed Ali) having a wonderful time talking with Billy and Ruth Graham in their Carolina mountain home, that I will share with you when it turns up again! But here is information about the abortion doctor from Rod Parsley on the Breakthrough TV program. Appearing there to tell his story, Dr. Bernard Nathanson, who at one time operated the largest abortuary in the U.S. He and his employees were aborting 150 babies a day, and the tally he estimates of his years in his abortuary is 100 to 200,000 babies. It is with tears he tells this. He was stopped in his track when he was so sickened and appalled (he saw the connection with the Nazis between himself and them) by ultrasound pictures of a living baby being aborted, he could not believe what he was seeing along with a colleague. The baby was literally chased around in the womb by the abortionist's vacuum and then finally caught and dismembered, next the baby's skull was crushed by an instrument, so that the torso of the body could be withdrawn from the womb. This was not what he had known was happening, but the ultrasound did not lie. He had to face the terrible truth. He was sickened and appallled by the truth about what he was doing that he could no longer continue murdering innocent young babies in the womb! Dr. Nathanson is now a chief spokesman for life, not for death, a complete reversal in his life. Appearing on the same program, Carol Everett is another spokesperson for life, not death. She too ran an abortion mill, and her goal was to make $1 million as her commission for one year. She was well on her way toward her goal when God began reeling her in, and she finally came to the foot of the cross, repenting in her office of her crimes against innocent babies in the womb. Today she is serving in a ministry to help pregnant and needy young women keep their babies, not kill them to make a profit for the abortuary. Abortuaries continue, and the tally is something like 50 million, and it keeps climbing. The Obama administration is determined to push the tally much, much higher, with the so-called genocidalist "Freedom of Choice" Act, a bill in Congress that once passed by the Democrats will give every woman and girl the right to abort, without any reason needed. They will have a "right" that no Constitution on earth, leaswise the U.S. Constitution, would recognize and validate. Yet the U.S. Congress, hell in its heart, will probably pass this bill penned by Satan himself. What will you do about this? Will you and I sit idly by, complaining, and do nothing to stop it? We must stop it, and if necessary we must throw our living bodies before the tanks of the government as the Chinese students did in Tiannenmen Square for the sake of freedom. Is that too extreme? What are our lives and our nation worth, once such a bill becomes law of the land? Will we last as a nation for one hour after the bill's passage? How can we? Our nation will give the Almighty one final slap in his face, saying, we have the right now to kill the unborn babies you created in the womb, and you can do nothing to stop us! God forbid that such an outrage continues, and that we go unpunished for it. Justice, along with the voices of over fifty million aborted babies in heaven, cry out against us. Do you hear them? I do. And God hears them day and night!

Bible Greats, as Portrayed by Eben:

"Bible Greats" by Eben

St. Patricks Day--March 17: St. Patrick (Patricius Magonus Sucutus) should almost be a Bible personage, he seems so easy to place there, right after Paul, coming as he did in the late fourth and early fifth centuries A.D. But his work is authenticated by history, though not found in the Bible. We know this about St. Patrick, which is enough to establish him as a great man of God for all time.

Born approximately 389 in Britain, Patrick was the son of a wealthy Christian alderman, and was not a righteous-living youth, as he confessed later, living in sinfulness and running with a gang of wayward youths like himself [I once knew a young man who was a gang member roaming the city streets with a baseball bat looking for fights while his pastor was his own father!]. When he was 16 years old, he was captured in a raid by Irish pirates and sold into slavery in Ireland where he worked as a shepherd for a chieftain in Ulster. He was a wretched slave, with no hope of being anything else! From alderman's son to slave, was a terrific fall in circumstances, indeed. After six years, and much prayer to God, he heard God's urging him to leave there and go find a ship and sail away, so he stopped praying for deliverance and got up and escaped by getting on a trader's ship whose captain let him board, and made his way back to his family in Britain eventually. But the years in Ireland had changed Patrick (and he was truly converted to God by the painful experience of slavery and being torn from his family). A vision came to him in which a chained, desperate Irishman pleaded with him to come and bring the Gospel light to the people sunk and dying in darkness in heathen Ireland. Despite the comfort of his own home, he could not forget Ireland's people, and so he was driven by the idea of returning to convert the Irish to Christian faith in Christ the Savior. With that in mind, he studied in France at a school headed by a bishop, and when the first Irish missionary bishop died in 431, Patrick was appointed to go to pagan Ireland. He began his ministry in northern and western Ireland where no one had ever preached the Gospel (or had ever dared preach it!). Gaining the trust and friendship of several tribal leaders, he became very successful, though every hour of each day he lived there was the real possibility of being assassinated by men sent by hostile Druid priests of the pagans, an elite class who feared and resented Patrick's message about God and that he was leading the people away from their depraved and immoral pagan rites and gods and from following after them. Patrick built churches wherever he happened to travel, and is said to have founded more than 300 churches and baptized more than 120,000 people. This St. Patrick's Day, while others are turning to parties and drinking which more describe pagans than Christians, it would be well for Christians to remember the great faith and courage of this man of God who accomplished more in the 5th century as a simple missionary preaching Christ the Savior, than many do in the 21st century with the advantage of mass media.--Church March Newsletter 1995, Amended by Editor.

It is obvious, looking around the national and world scene, we cannot find anyone of the stature of a John Wesley, or a Martin Luther, or a Tyndale or a Wycliffe. We had a Winston Churchill (who had an American mother, by the way), a nominal Christian but great leader in a crisis for the British people and the West, but since then? Billy Graham, yes, he is a leader in the Gospel, but leaders of true greatness are conspicuously missing from the contemporary scene. Instead, to make up the lack, impostors such as Mr. Obama, are raised up to the highest positions. He, and those like him, are the hope of the present worldly, evil and perverse generation.

Well, what can we do to find true and worthy role models? We can turn first to the Bible--there they are--one after the other. Some have blemishes and short-comings, true, but they are clearly identified as negative object lessions we can still learn by. But there are also saints in the Bible accounts that nothing can be said against.

In our own history of America, we had a saint of a man early on: George Washington. Even his enemies the British bowed to this man as a peerless and great man, whose character was beyond reproach and who was unequalled among all the other men known in the world for his purity and integrity.

Now this splendid American and Founder of our Nation is being reproached by pygmy-brained, liberal Democrats as a slave-owning plantationeer, but the laws of Virginia, voted in, had legalized slavery, and he could not overturn the state's laws, but he set the example for his fellow Virginians when he set his own slaves free upon his death, rather than set them free to starve while he was yet living and still able to give them food and board in exchange for their labor. There is no report whatsoever the slaves on Washington's Mt. Vernon estate were neglected and were complaining about their treatment. Rather, he was thought most highly of by them. Yet he is an evil man, according to the textbooks the children study in the U.S. schools. His name has even been expunged from the schools that took his name.

RESURRECTION CENTER:

It was a most hopeless time, when Christ was crucified! The promises He gave his disciples were all forgotten, nobody believed them, and so they thought it was the utter end of His ministry and all their hopes they had invested in Him as the Messiah of the Jews. But how wrong they were--utterly wrong! Aren't you glad they were wrong (and all the Romans and Herodians and Jewish leaders in cahoots with them, and Jesus was right? He proved it by rising from the dead!

The following tract message, "The Wonder of Wonders," by Edwin Raymond Anderson, is a must to read and absorb. I have been to two Wonders of the Ancient World in the list of seven described by Anderson, the Pyramids and the Temple of Diana, but Ephesus's Temple of Diana is only a few stones in a swamp, and the rest was carted away, with some columns in a ruined mosque, of which I took a picture through a glassless window. As for the Pyramids of Giza, they are still intact, and we were taken on a claustrophic half crawl right into the one built by Cheops or Khufu, but though impressive they are not exactly spiritually uplifting despite their great heights.

Actually, for real spiritual uplift, go to Jerusalem! You will be sure to find it there, unless you are totally a cynic. I have been to Jerusalem's 1st century era Empty Tomb, which is the greatest Wonder of the World, surpassing all seven listed in the tract. It is empty not because the body of Jesus once interred within the garden tomb by Joseph of Arimathea and Nicodemus disappeared or was hidden, but because the Person was the God-Man, Jesus Christ, and He rose gloriously from the dead in a resurrected body to live and reign forever. Anderson is right, the Pharaohs' pyramids, the Temple of Diana, even in their original magnificence and immensity, do not compare in the least to the glory of the little empty tomb in Jerusalem. People visiting that empty tomb are most all affected deeply--for it is silent and empty and yet thunderously proclaims the Living and Resurrected Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, not the splendor of a marble tomb of a great man of ancient times which can say nothing life-saving to us the living. Tombs, empty or otherwise, save nobody, that was not their purpose, nor does the Empty Garden Tomb of Jesus save anyone; it is the Resurrected Jesus Christ who alone saves, when we call on his name for salvation.--Ed.

Big Bad Wolf Business Center:

Microsoft, which became a big bad wolf with lots of big, sharp, nasty teeth when it started assaulting Goldilocks, the Judaeo-Christian values and beliefs and institutions--Biblical morality, marriage, the traditional family, and so on--while championing homosexuality and immorality of all kinds--is showing signs of its cracking up and going down to the dustbin of bankrupt businesses where such anti-Christian organizations belong. They are laying off thousands of workers in Seattle, right at the corporate headquarters. They are not going to learn anything from this, of course. They think their policies are the correct and right ones, even though their policies assault and denigrate Biblical morality and sanctity of marriage and the God-given nuclear family. Good riddance to Microsoft! It has become Belial, a corporate prince of deviltry. Sin Street in Redmond, Washington, where Microsoft is located, leads only to a dead-end. Is it too late to pray for Bill Gates and his wife? Or the other company heads? They are not beyond the reach of God and the conviction of the Holy Spirit. Someday, each will have to stand before the Lord on his throne. We should pity them and pray for them now while they still have a chance to avoid the coming fires of wrath.

GLOBAL WARMING HOAX CENTER:

Science does not support "Climate Change" or the radical leftist environmentalism (which is human population reductionism, pure and simple) that is striving to take over the global economy and shut it down, piece by piece, so that humanity can be reduced to a small, "ecologically justified" number that will aid the "restoration" of pre-human earth. What poppycock! God almighty determines the number of humans on this planet, if you please! He alone has the right to do that, being the Creator of the human race and the world and the universe! He obviously has not set a limit yet, as there is more than enough food being grown on this planet to feed everyone on it nicely, only the injustice and misgovernment and corruption of human governments is preventing the people from accessing it for adequate nutrition. Six billions? That is not a big number to God. Perhaps he has in mind 20 billion human beings for Earth--we don't know. We do know God can easily feed that many--and give us the means to do it too, if we would just humble ourselves and ask his advice.

To these foes of humanity, the population reductionists, humanity is viewed as a cancer, an unfortunate mistake in the evolutionary process that generated the wonderful animals and plants of this world. It will never happen their way. God will intervene, and crush these wicked forces of genocide, which are painted up in green color as if they had something to do with God's plants. Green is not a nice color, politically, though it has been chosen by the Green Party hacks such as Ralph Nader, or put in the name of the Greenpeacers or attached to the vast array of products being turned out that are claimed will "save the Rain Forest," or "save the planet," by the way. Why do I say this? History tells us. Ask the Jews who survived the Holocaust. Green was the color of the uniforms of the Nazi guards who rode the death trains packed with Jews and others the Nazis aimed to exterminate. Green! Green meant death, cruelty, brutality, a police state crushing the helpless. Green was the color of terror.

There is nothing intrinsically wrong with conservation. The God of the Bible makes us stewards of the whole earth, and we are to be responsible stewards, responsible to God for how we treat the earth and its resources and species. But politicized conservation has an ax to grind, and it will grind that ax on the neck of humanity in order to "save" the earth from mankind and the animals too from mankind. A chicken's life will be preferred above a child's. It already is preferred. You cannot torture a chicken, or any kind of animal, without a stiff prison sentence, but you can molest, torture, even kill a child and get away with it. Many do! The uncountable flights out of San Francisco and Los Angeles, bearing thousands of American pedophiles and sadists to Bangkok and other Asian cities that cater to pedophiles engaging in international sex slavery and child prostitution, that reveals the true low value we place on the lives and well-being of children, the most helpless and vulnerable people in our society other than the elderly and the disabled. This is the hellish kind of man-hating world that Paul Newton, Joanne Woodward, Robert Redford, and the other leftist celebs like them have created.

"Global Warming (Climate Change) Hoax Center"

ENGLISH LITERATURE HERITAGE CENTER:

The greatest English writer, poet, and playwright will probably always be William Shakespeare--there is no one of that stature, either past, or present, and he stands in a class by himself, even after 445 years since his death. From Marvin R. Gale, writing "You and Shakespeare" in the Lutheran Digest, Fall, 1964, page 39: "By the end of this year [1964], thousands of Americans and others will have trekked to Stratford, England, to visit the birthplace of William Shakespeare.

This is the 400th anniversary of his birth and homage is being paid to his outstanding talents and contributions throughout the Free World.

Born 18 years after the death of Martin Luther, the aftereffects of the Lutheran Reformation were still being felt in England. It might not be going too far afield to say that Shakespear's works were a by-product of the Reformation. He lived at a time when theology played a vital role in 'the intellectual discipline of all Europeans.' It was during his lifetime that the King James Version of the Bible appeared. One of the reasons that Shakespeare's poetry and drama made the impact they did, and still wield widespread influence, is that he wrote within the context of the Christian faith."

I can personally vouch for Shakespeare's writing within the context of the Christian world-view. In the early 80's, I was privileged to visit Stratford and tour the Shakespearean Theatre grounds and viewed the cottage of Anne Hathaway and saw how they lived in Anne's and Shakespeare's time. I also saw a Shakespearean play in London. The chief effect on me came through his writing's however, particularly his classic play, Hamlet. It was while reading Hamlet that I forsook my liberal and atheistic world-view at college and saw that man has dignity as created by God, he is not the result of blind and godless evolution or a random universe. This view is essential if you are to know the truth about yourself and the world, as it is Biblical, and I was well on the way back to God after backsliding and throwing God out of my young Christian life. I owe a great debt to Shakespeare, consequently, for helping me to return to God, for helping through his magnificent drama to restore my belief in the dignity of man as I viewed the the tremendous, agonized struggles of soul and spirit in Hamlet as he wrestled night and day with the raging demon of revenge in his own unforgiving heart as he tried to deal with the immoral love affair of his mother with his uncle the king of Denmark. No animal you can name on this earth could or would agonize over moral issues like that! Only a creature created uniquely in God's image made the issue even possible! Lest we be made utter fools by our godless culture, do you see that too? Man is definitely a purpose-embued creature, created in God's image by the hand's of God, not the product of a blind evolutionary force of atoms and molecules knocking randomly together and somehow making a man after billions of years! Could any view be more ridiculous and impossible than Darwin's? That is clearly the case, and I could not deny it after reading Hamlet. Read Hamlet, if you have not. Or check out a library video and see it played, at Ashford, Oregon, or any other place it is done in an excellent way. You will not have such a problem with Darwin's unworkable theory after that, when you compare a man like Hamlet with a chimp or a fish or a bird or a cat or dog or whale. There is really no comparison! The difference is so great, though we share many physical traits with animals, it is true, that we might as well be considered gods over the animal kingdom, not really part of it. As said on Dr. Baugh's Creation in the 21st Century program on TBN, it is time to let go of 19th century thinking and move into the 21st century science. This science is making known for the first time the anthropic nature of the Universe, which was not known or scientifically accessible to Darwin and other 19th century naturalists with the limited scientific techniques of their time. The Bible and science are not enemies--it is science that is at last catching up with what the Bible teaches and made known thousands of years ago about the nature of man and the universe. Shakespeare, genius that he truly was, saw man's full-orbed uniqueness in the realm of creation--and knew enough science to see that his view agreed with not only the facts but also with the truths of the Bible--there was no contradiction or hostility between the two. That is why I can say Shakespeare's works will be immortal, so to speak, as long as the earth endures, for he spoke truly about man, he did not lie or distort the truth or man's condition to suit his own philosophy, as so many evolutionist, Darwinian writers do today in order to be politically correct and sell their films, books, plays, and poetry. They will be forgotten, thrown in the trashbin, all of them, someday, but Shakespeare's dramas and poetry and sayings will live on and on and on.

John Hagee Ministries to Order "Pilgrim's Progress"

Go see the trailers at least, and you will have to bite, as this is tremendous photography, with meaning that can change our lives!

The latest April issue of Levitt Letter has an article about the British king, King Alfred the Great (the only one titled "great"). He truly earned the title. A devout Christian (unlike the apostate, secularist, adulterous Prince Charles today who is next in line for the throne), Alfred of Wessex united his country against the invading Vikings and drove them back to the point they quit trying to take over the whole of England and make it a heathen land like the one they came from. He saved not only the Christian faith in England, but learning and literacy and also Bible scholarship. He himself translated scripture and books, and thought the spiritual side equally important to the political sphere in running his kingdom justly before God's gaze. We would do very well with such a leader today, but where is he when we need him? England was indeed blessed! Rather, we have in charge of our nation (voted in by ignorant or corrupted people!) heathen barbarians worse than the Vikings, intent on plundering our country, reducing it to poverty while they live in luxury and wealth they stole from us, and making us a pagan instead of a Christian nation (while letting a radical Islam religion take precedence along with their godless secular humanism and evolutionism). Read the article and find out what you missed in school, and what the school children are missing today as well. It used to form part of a real education.

Not just men, but the valiant, teenaged French patriot, Joan of Arc, wore armor and commanded an army in battle against one of England's "Horrible Henrys," and his unrighteous, invading army that was killing and burning and intending to subjugate all of free France--so women too have worn body armor. But our armor is spiritual, not material. We have the unbeatable spiritual armor of Christ for our defense as we carry the Word like a sword to cut down the enemy, Falsehood, in defense and in the propagation of the Saving Gospel of Jesus Christ. Every Christian is a soldier, man, woman, child--age is no handicap. Even little children can be mighty warriors in God's kingdom as they pray and speak for Christ's kingdom.

In the banner article, "Why I Am a Bad Jew," in which a Jew who loves and defends his country is held by the outraged world to be a "bad Jew" because he doesn't just like down and die when attacked, I take a cue of my own, and proclaim my own desire to be a "bad American." I believe I could write, "Why I am a Bad American"! With pride, too! To be a bad American in today's secularist-humanist hellhole that America has been turned into, you must love your country, value its national sovereignty above the UN and the World Court and demand secure borders, prize personal and corporate, biblical morality and the work ethic, place the U.S. flag above all over flags in your heart and allegiance, call yourself American rather than Afro-American, Chinese-American, Mexican-American, and so on, esteem the Founding Fathers and all they stood for and accomplished for freedom and dignity of the individual and their limited form of government as the best way to preserve that freedom and dignity from tyranny of government, value integrity, honesty, and personal achievement, protect the sanctity of human life, traditional marriage of one man with one woman, and the innocence of children, hate pornography, gratuitous violence and sex on TV and in movies, and evolutionary teaching as exclusive, prescribed instruction in public schools and universities and colleges, abhor mutlticulturalism and diversity mantras that only cloak the division of the society into warring, competing camps and factions, each voting for Big Government candidates, with the aim Big Government will reward the minority with welfare programs and all sort of other kickbacks, support a strong national defense and strong, well-trained and equipped armed forces to be ready at all times to launch preemptive strikes against enemies that are building up for an attack on us (such as Iran is doing presently, with the UN simply wringing its hands in a ceremonial "tut tut tut!"), while demanding fiscal responsibility from Congress and all elected officials in federal and state bodies. I am sure many thngs are left out of this confession of why I am a bad American! Write your own! Don't fit in to the "Good American" that secularist humanism has concocted for you like a strait jacket for a zombie they can control, use, and then discard. Be "politically incorrect", which really means, you are totally American.

VOICE OF THE MARTYRS, December 2008 Issue, has this article, which you should make every effort to read, by accessing the website's archives--"Jesus is Better than Mohammed."

The November 2008 issue of VOM is excellent still, and has much information that is absolutely critical for Christians to know about the persecuted saints in various countries in Asia and the Middle East primarily. Fatima, a Saudi Arabian woman who gave her heart and life to Jesus, was killed by her own brother because she became a Christian and bravely told her family. Her last words are recorded in this issue, in the form of a most beautiful and touch poem appealing to her relatives, all Muslims, to turn to Jesus, the Only TRUE LORD AND SAVIOR, who is Love, and not to follow Allah and Mohammed, the way that leads to hatred and darkness. Don't miss her last words on this earth! The Christian Revolution in Iran (yes, Iran!) is also featured in this website, with names and details about the savage persecution waged against Christian Iranians by the Sharia law authorities and the Radical Islamic government of Iran which has legislated death for all Muslims who convert to Christianity (in a land that was a haven for Christians centuries ago!). Go to the website of VOM where these great accounts and many others of present day heroes and heroines of the Christian faith are posted.

Voice of the Martyrs Magazine

This issue of Decision Magazine features the losses of parents of their children, and how they came to lean on God to take them through the terrible loss. Pastor Greg Laurie, shown on the cover, is one of them, who lost his grown son suddenly in a tragic car accident one morning he will never forget. Expecting his son to arrive any minute, he found out that his son would never arrive--he was dead!

This issue is a blockbuster! It carries the banner article of Billy Graham's you MUST NOT MISS!!! "Signs of Christ's Return," features Billy Graham, Chuck Smith, and Skip Heitzig, starting page 2. It squares with the absolute truth about what is going on in contemporary America at this moment. Want to know where you stand in regard to the collapse of America and the caving in of the churches--not to mention the overall collapse of Western civilization? Read this article--don't let it pass for trivialities, however nicely they are dished up for you. This is real meat, for Christians. George Beverly Sea, the Billy Graham crusade singer for many decades, is on the cover, and turned 100 years of age! He's still smiling too! How many can do that at his age, or anywhere approaching his age? That is Christ's power and spirit in him--there is no doubt about it.

Like wine, like fine cheese, like maturing securities in stock, this magazine is getting better and better as it rolls along! Please go to an excerpt of Billy Graham's message, "Proclaiming Christ's Return." Appended to it is the article of Robin Lovin, a theologian, who defines "liberal monism," and identifies it as the liberal rationale and thinking of "social progressive" liberals in America which are used to determine in public life and public forums what they judge is is "Politically Correct" speech--a not very tolerant means they use to marginalize and then to silence and gag their opposition, namely, Bible-believing Christians.

Franklin Graham's Letter--March 2009

A most important follow-up to Billy Graham's warning to the Nation and his son Franklin Graham's latest letter is Dr. Twilah Fox's message, "And the Light Shineth in Darkness," June 1992:

"And the Light Shineth in Darkness," Message to Americans, by Dr. Twilah Fox, Part I

Part II, Twilah Fox Message

David Wilkerson, Pastor of Times Square Church, issued this message and warning to the Nation and the Churches in 1991, a year before Twilah's. It went virtually unheeded, which is not surprising, as the trend continued, did it not? But we must heed it, or we will not survive as a nation and a people. It is that simple. God makes it simple, so we cannot say we did not know what was going on, and what He expected of us. That is why He gave us the Bible, and prophetic messengers such as Wilderson, Fox, and Billy Graham. We will have no excuse when we all stand before the Lord to account for America's apostasy and abandonment of Him.

HOW ABOUT THIS FOR A VEHICLE LICENCE?

Jawbone of Judgment Center:

There is scarcely a fluid ounce of truth left in this nation of America, it has become such a nation of shameless, pathological liars (even proud of it!). Surveys and polls have been taken. Students in our schools say it is all right to lie, everybody does it! Have you noticed this? That many children tell you anything, give you any old excuse or deny knowing what they did or saw being done, when you know they aren't telling the truth and they know you know, but don't care? They refuse to take any responsibility for what they do is wrong, so they just deny it or make an excuse. Adults do the same too! Just listen to a couple of minutes on Dr. Phil, or Oprah, and the adults are worse than the children in irresponsibility and lying. But wait a moment! There is a terrible consequence waiting for us. Liars are the first to be cast into the lake of fire, according to the book of Revelation! Doesn't that give us pause? It should! GOD ALMIGHTY, THE SPIRIT OF TRUTH, IS CALLING AMERICA TO ACC0UNT, AND THAT INCLUDES THE ARROGANT, LYING, CORRUPTED GOVERNING ELITES AND GOVERNMENT IN WASHINGTON! THEY FALL FIRST UNDER JUDGMENT, AS THEY HOLD RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE COURSE OF THIS NATION AND SOCIETY IN THE POLITICAL AND MORAL ARENAS. THEY EVEN SEEK TO POLLUTE AND CORRUPT THE ENTIRE WORLD WITH THEIR GODLESS, LIBERAL AGENDAS.

The White House (a name that derives from the Ancient Egyptian word, Per-aa, meaning "White House," the palace of Pharaoh) is a misnomer for that institution and branch of government situated there on Pennsylvania Avenue. It is truly a Black House, a sin-filthy den of iniquity, bewitched and infested from basement and Washington's empty, never used crypt to the chimneys and flags on the roof due to all manner of demons brought in through the years by First Ladies. These pathetic, spirtually wayward First Ladies are documented as to their identities and need not be named again here. They brought in mediums such as Jean Dixon and consulted the spirits of the dead. Some of the latest First Ladies to do so had Billy and Ruth Graham as guests in the White House--so it is not that these First Ladies have any excuse for what they did. Then their husbands fell into immorality as well. The immoralities and adulteries committed there by Franklin D. Roosevelt, John Fitzgerald Kennedy, and William Clinton, are also public record (though it was kept from the American people by a White House press that went along with these sins of the Presidents by saying nothing and looking the other way). Because of these and other sins, running rampant, administration after administration, in the White House, the whole joint is infested with the Devil. Now there is a wolf howling outside the windows, after they ignored the Word of God and also the advice and example and messages of Billy Graham. Can the wicked people inside, plotting and scheming evil-doing of all sorts, hear the wolf? Can America's new pharaoh, Obama, hear it? His ears are certainly big enough, you would think! It is the voice of the holy Word of God in Proverbs, howling its eternal truths and warnings:

"Fervent words with a wicked heart are like earthenware covered with silver dross.

He who hates, disguises it with his lips, and lays up deceit within himself.

When he speaks kindly, do not believe him, for there are seven abominations in his heart [there are seven abominations in Mr. Obama's heart!].

Though his hatred is covered by deceit, his wickedness will be revealed before the assembly.

Whoever digs a pit will fall into it, and he who rolls a stone will have it roll back on him.

A lying tongue hates those who are crushed by it, and a flattering mouth works ruin."

These scriptures, Proverbs 26: 23-28, describe the Man of Deceit (who has seven abominations in his heart), which President Barak Hussain Obama and all his entourage have joined to make in order to seat a veritable anti-christ beast in the Oval Office of the White House. Mr. Obama did not act alone, he had many wicked people making him and putting him where he is, so he can do the terrible things they wish to have done in America with the presidential powers. God have mercy on them, and have mercy on us!

Barak Hussain Obama, the professional shyster, is attempting to hijack Abraham Lincoln's glory and recruit him into the radical leftist arsenal to use against the freedoms of black Americans and Americans of every other hue, but we will not permit him this shameful outrage, for here is the proof that Abraham Lincoln would never have stood alongside the likes of Barak Hussain Obama, not in a thousand years, unless to admonish and rebuke him (and Lincoln could spot a crook and shyster when he saw one!):

"Honest Abe Said It"--from The Lutheran Digest, Summer, 1964

Though Uttered Over 150 years Ago, It's Still Pertinent [especially in regard to Barak H. Obama's Big Government, social welfare policies and radical socialist agenda for America, for each of these sayings describes exactly the opposite of what Obama believes and has promised to carry out as president!]:

"You cannot build character and courage by taking away a man's initiative and independence."

"You cannot establish security on borrowed money."

"You cannot keep out of trouble by spending more than your income."

"You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift."

"You cannot further the brotherhood of man by inciting class hatred."

You cannot help men permanently by doing for them what they can and should do for themselves."

"You cannot lift the wage earner by pulling down the wage payer."

"You cannot help small men by tearing down big men."

You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong."

"You cannot help the poor man by destroying the rich."

Seeking to "gild the manure pile of his life and politics," Obama likes to drag the sterling character and epic achievements of a dead but still shining Lincoln into his speeches while disregarding absolutely everything Lincoln stood for, hoping that the illustrious name will somehow rub off on him and give him credibility and legitimacy he does not deserve in the least. Lincoln would have had nothing to do with Obama and would have never allowed him into his government, as he was experienced in this world and knew what was gold and what was fool's gold, though both look about the same to the untrained eye. Obama is clearly fool's gold, and millions of America were blinded by media blitz and think he is 20 karat gold, while he is nothing but fool's gold--some pretty glitz and shine in a rock that is worth nothing and totally useless except maybe to serve as a door stopper.

Will Obama ever quote the views of his esteemed "mentor" and "forerunner" Abraham Lincoln that conflict so diametrically with his own? Don't hold your breath! He wouldn't dare. Every view of Abraham Lincoln is death to Obama's immoral, socialist and even authoritarian, Marxist agenda, so he cannot quote him, unless he twists the meaning of every word! If you cannot see the faces clear enough, there is clear evidence in the picture, in the very sober and earnest expressins of the people present, that Lincoln's words were used and brought deep conviction of the Holy Spirit and even tears of repentance in this gathering (see the man with the handkerchief wiping his eyes?)--if only we would heed Abraham Lincoln today--is that too much to pray and hope for? I think not. We know from the divine record of God's dealing with us human beings, that God will intervene and save people in the most hopeless, disastrous circumstances, exactly when it appears they will be wiped out and utterly destroyed because of their own folly. But if only those wretched, terrified, beaten people about to be destroyed will just cry out to the Lord in their distress, acknowledging they are sinners and needful of His grace and mercy, God will not turn aside, he will respond immediately! He has done this countless times all through the Biblical record of Israel and then beyond the Bible's pages through the histories of innumerable nations and peoples and tribes. God is the same God through all the ages. He never changes. He has mercy enough for us--for his mercy is infinite and new every morning. He WILL save and rescue us erring Americans from our sins, individual and national, save us from our apostasy, worship of the Almighty Buck, and slavish devotion to power, celebrity, violence, pornography, luxury, self, and greedy, self-indulgence lifestyles. God has enough mercy to save even us! Let's call on His name for deliverance and mercy. He will answer us if we call, even at this late hour. We don't need Obama and his crew. We need God.

I know that Christians today in America, many of them, see how badly we have been beaten by the radical, anti-Christ, God-hating, Bible-loathing Democrat Party and its leaders--and they intend now to snuff out every last vestige of religious freedom and take charge of the whole economy and government and social system, not to mention the media and the military--they aim at absolute, authoritarian control, and the end of Christian witness and the Gospel in America, nothing less--but God...but God...He still has his ear open to the cries of his children, so let him hear our cries even in this darkest of times.

Now Abraham Lincoln, President of the United States, will speak once again to us:

"We have been the recipients of the choicest bounties of heaven; we have been preserved these many years in peace and prosperity; we have grown in numbers, wealth, and power as no other nation has ever grown.

But we have forgotten God. We have forgotten the gracious hand which preserved us in peace and multiplied and enriched and strengthened us, and we have vainly imagined, in the deceitfulness of our hearts, that all these things were produced by some superior wisdom and virtue of our own.

Intoxicated with unbroken success, we have become too self-sufficient to feel the necessity of redeeming and preserving grace, too proud to pray to the God that made us."--Abraham Lincoln, Reprinted from Salesian Inspiration Books, p. 11

Don't those wonderful, stirring words of Abraham Lincoln, arguably our greatest and most noble president after George Washington, pinpoint our stupid pride and Angel-dusted-crash-through-every-barrier-runaway deceit in our hearts that explain our abandonment of God? Doesn't Lincoln's diagnosis explain exactly why we have abandoned God and turned to exalting ourselves in his rightful place? We are drunk and intoxicated with our success that we have taken all the credit for--shoving God, who is the reason for our success--aside. He has watched us do this,and now we are stumbling--our ship of state full of fools, steered by fools, right smack into an iceberg that will send us to the bottom of the sea, to join all the other shattered ships of fools that dared to abandon God before us.

We hope to have "The Erosion of Freedom," a message by Norbert Letts in the Lutheran Digest on-line soon. Please look for it. It was published in 1965, and every word rings all the truer today than when it was printed, as the terrible conditions described by Norbert Letts are in the full-blown HIV stage now, not just apparent as they were beginning in the 1960s.

WHAT IS A TRUE CHRISTIAN? THERE ARE SO MANY COUNTERFEITS ABOUNDING IN OUR EVANGELICAL CIRCLES THESE DAYS. THEY ARE THE IMPRESSIVE CHARACTERS WHO KNOW ALL THE RIGHT WORDS AND CAN PREACH AND ALSO QUOTE SCRIPTURE AFTER SCRIPTURE, YET THEY ARE NOT OF CHRIST, OR CHRIST IS LIKE THIS FORMER LEADER OF THE EVANGELICALS IN AMERICA, THE NOW DISGRACED TIM HAGGARD, AND THAT CAN NEVER BE! HOW CAN SOMEONE IN THE MINISTRY FALL TO THE DEPTHS AND YET REBOUND RIGHT BACK, WITH SCARCELY A BLINK OF REPENTANCE AND CHANGE? HE IS NOT A SINNER SAVED BY GRACE, AS HE CLAIMED LATELY ON OPRAH. YES, GOD IS ALL FOR SAVING PRODIGALS, BUT AS A TRUE PRODIGAL HE WOULDN'T BE ON THAT PROGRAM WITH THE LIKES OF HER, HIS PROUD SPIRIT SPARRING WITH HER PROUD SPIRIT AND EVEN SILENCING HER, IF HE WERE A GENUINE PRODIGAL. HE OUGHT TO KNOW FROM HER SHOWS' CONTENT AND HER PHILOSOPHY THAT SHE IS A GENUINE WITCH AND NEW AGE MISSIONARY, AND HE IS GIVING CREDENCE TO HER, AND SHE IS MERELY USING HIM AS A WILLING ACCOMPLICE TO DISCREDIT CHRISTIANITY. SHE WOULDN'T HAVE THIS HAS-BEEN ON UNLESS SHE COULD USE HIM FOR HER PURPOSES, TRASHING CHRISTIANITY WITH HIS HELP. THE BIBLE COMMANDS US NOT TO MIX HOLY WITH UNHOLY--AND HE HAS NO PROBLEM DOING THAT, OBVIOUSLY. BUT ENOUGH OF THIS PATHETIC PATSY OF OPRAH'S. ALL WE CAN DO IS PRAY FOR THAT POOR MAN, THAT HE BE TRULY SAVED AND BORN AGAIN AND REGENERATED. THE BIBLE TELLS US CLEARLY WHAT A TRUE CHRISTIAN IS. COME SOON TO THIS SECTION FOR THE ARTICLE ON WHAT EXACTLY DEFINES A TRUE CHRISTIAN.

NO REMISSION FOR SIN WITHOUT THE BLOOD OF CHRIST! If you are not covered by the Blood of Christ, cleansed by His blood shed for you, you cannot be a Christian, and you are not saved or born again. The "slaughter-house religion" of the Christian faith is derided and thought too messy and backward for modern, thinking people (who think they can get into heaven by their own goodness or by performing good deeds and philantrophy), but the absolute truth remains, the Blood of Christ provides the bottom line for salvation for every human being on this planet who lived, is living, and will ever live. No one can be saved and forgiven and made a true child of God without it. There is no other way provided by God! The Blood of Christ is the only door to life. Read T. L. Osborn's message on the Blood of Christ, and see just how it works to bring us salvation:

"The Blood of Christ," by T. L. Osborn

H. A. Meyer's book published in 1973, "The Power of the Blood" has excellent messages on the Blood of Jesus Christ and its all-conquering powers. Shed on the Cross, it still works for us in many ways, if we know this truth and apply it! We want to give you excerpts (Danish commedian Victor Borge's pronunciation makes me crack up when I write "excerpt"), so please look for it soon. The chapter "The Scarlet Thread" dealing with the Blood Token of the Scarlet Ribbon that saved Rahab's life and soul, as well as her family's, is a must to read.

Thank God for the Blood of Christ! There is a wonderful, old hymn, "Nothing but the Blood of Jesus!" Learn that song and sing it often. It will conquer every obstacle and attack of Satan. You can find it in Cyber-hymnal on the Internet. Just go to:

These valuable messages of Stuart Maxwell Hawkins' will furnish one or more of the six elective subjects as they come on-line with study questions or quizzes.

Stuart Maxwell Hawkins's message, "Forgive Me," is now on-line, and will also carry Study Questions soon.

"Forgive Me," Message by Stuart Maxwell Hawkins

Would you believe a man who came up to you and offered you forgiveness of all your sin, love and fellowship with your Creator God, a new spirit and a new heart with which to begin life anew, wisdom and guidance whenever you ask, and eternal life in a heavenly paradise forever? You would naturally ask what price he was asking--right? What if he said, "Nothing, simply ask Me, and I will give it all to you as a free gift!"? Would you laugh, and think he was scamming you, and then walk away? That is exactly what most people do, when offered the free gift of Salvation in Jesus Christ. They can't believe such a Gift is utterly free. If they could work for it somehow, or be good enough to merit receiving it, then they would take it more seriously. As it is, they don't believe in any such free Gift from God, so they reject it out of hand, without a second thought. Here is a demonstration of this fact of human nature:

On a busy downtown street in London a man stood waving a stack of 5-pound notes [5 pounds are worth about $12] in his hand. He was offering to exchange five pounds for a penny. Hardly anyone paid attention to him. Those who did, figured it was some kind of trick. However, the bills were genuine. The huckster was a disguised actor who had bet his director that no one would accept genuine money if he offered it on the street for sale.

Jesus experiences the same skepticism. Nobody can believe that, without cost, he is genuinely offering forgiveness. And so, unsuspecting, they pass by the opportunity of their lives.--From a Church March Newsletter, 1995

REALITY CHECK CENTER:

If Poland had not come to the aid of the West, in the Turkish invasion of Eastern Europe, Islam would have won the heartland of Europe and Christians would have been driven right out of the continent, and perhaps even Britain would have been overwhelmed and America taken in turn! Poland stopped the seemingly invincible armies of the Ottoman Turkish sultan, Suleyman the Magnificent, and the king of Poland, Jan III Sobieski, was the leader of the valiant Polish troops that did it. Vienna was beseiged by the huge cannons and the hundreds of thousands of soldiers of the sultan, and would no doubt have fallen, and the whole of Europe beyond taken by the Moslems, but King Jan III Sobieski beat back the Turks, and they pulled back without taking Vienna, the gateway to Europe. Thank God for the Poles and their king!

George Beverly Shea singing at the gathering for the Congressional Medal award to Ruth and Billy Graham (seated on far right, next to the divorced and remarried Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich)

REBELLIOUS, IMMORAL, HELL-BENT AMERICA WAS WARNED, TURN BACK TO GOD NOW, OR FACE CATASTROPHE: We had our warning in the U.S. at the highest levels. Howso? It came in the presentation of the 114th Congressional Medal of Honor to Ruth and Billy Graham, 1996! That was a watershed event, though many there did not recognize it for what it was, a last call from God to turn back to Him or bear the terrible consequences of our abandonment of Him, His commandments, and His truth. God uses all means possible to Him, and this was surely one means He used to warn us and our leaders a final time. As we know, Sept. 11 followed in just a few short years. We could have been spared that catastrophic attack! But we brought it on by not heeding the message God spoke through Billy Graham the night of the award to his wife and himself by Congress. What was that message? I have described it several times previously, having watching it on TV being presented, and I was then terribly impressed and moved by Billy Graham's message, and even more impressed and a little frightened by the soberness and graveness that was in his whole manner as he spoke those awesome words of warning to America to turn back to God, or else!

Please go to entire article about the event as it appeared in Northwest Christian Journal, June 1996. One statement from his message: "We are a society perched on the brink of self-destruction." How plainer can that be? Use the link above in the magazine center section to access the message. Here is also Franklin Graham's message, which deals with the same impending judgment and the desperate need for Americas to repent now of their sins and disaster averted by the grace and mercy and kindness of God:

"Franklin Graham Letter--March 2009"

The recent collapse of America's financial stocks and markets and banks (referred to in Franklin Graham's latest letter), and the vast and catastrophic corruption and runaway spending of a godless and atheistic, homosexual-led Democrat Congress--that only prepares the platform for the coming Anti-Christ--according to John Hagee. We agree! It is time to identify the signs of his appearance, but first let us start with the genuine Christ, Jesus, before going on to the counterfeit, the Anti-Christ. In articles, we will take a close look at both:

"Hanukkah and Anti-Christ"

Hitler coming out of church after a service:

What is different from Hitler going to church and Barak Hussein Obama attending that hellish, racist church in Chicago--a raucous, ribald, and raunchy city where gutter rats are elevated to the highest positions--for 20 years with his wife and girls? Obama obviously thought he was making a good show there, sitting in the pew under that toilet-mouth, racism-spewing mouthpiece of Satan, Jeremiah Wright. He used that image of a God-fearing, responsible, loving father taking his family regularly to church to cloak all his nasty, dirty deals in the gutter politics of Chicago with his Weathermen terrorist and mafia friends in order to accrue power and money and important connections in the Democrat Party machine. Hitler did the very same in German society that Obama did in Chicago during his "formative" years. We have another Adolf Hitler, dressed up as the Democrat messiah that will transform America into the radical liberal idea of paradise. That was Hitler's sales pitch too--exactly! Millions of Germans, evangelical Christians too, swallowed Hitler's poison and within a few years the entire nation was defeated and destroyed, divided up by Soviet Russia and the Western allies, the eastern part ruled another 70 years by the dictatorships imposed from Moscow, and millions of Germans displaced permanently from their homes, with huge portions of Germany gobbled up by Poland and other countries along with all their resources as a punishment for inflicting war and aggression and genocide on their neighbors. What will happen to America with Obama at the helm? We have nothing good to look forward to--if history and the Bible is any use whatsoever in telling us about what happens when a righteous nation abandons God. Shame on us! Shame on America! Shame on Obama and all his supporters, duped or knowing full well what a monster he is!

SOME UPCOMING MESSAGES AND THUNDERBOLTS: "In Convict Cells," the life story and prison ministry of Mathilda Wrede of Finland (Eagle Books, No. 1, Friendship Press of England an New York, 1937), of which Chapters 1-3 are already on-line, "The Resume of Jesus Christ," "What is a Christian?" from the Herald of Hope Paper, 1975, with "Who I am in Christ," from God's Word, Scripture by Scripture, 1-69. "The Erosion of Freedom" by Norbert Letts, and "Identification" by E. W. Kenyon. We also want to include "The Power of the Blood," by H. A. Maxwell-Whyte, in excerpts, and "The Blood of Christ," by T. L. Osborn. People criticise Christianity as a "slaughter-house religion"--yes, it is--thanks be to God. But it is God who allowed and destined his own Son Jesus Christ to be slaughtered for our sakes, lest we humans be slaughtered in our sins and suffer hell for all eternity--how do you like that? I like it very much! Only an utter fool would object to this kind of "slaughter-house religion"! I run to it! I embrace it! I celebrate the Blood of Jesus my Savior! I am glad, I am so very happy, that He shed his own blood for me, saving me by cleansing me from all my sins in that utterly innocent blood of His, lest I pay the full price for my sin, going into eternity uncleansed, damned in my sinfulness. We have many, many more items of equal interest and help to all Christians, and will add them here, God enabling us to find the time.

THE EMMAUS WALK MISSION STATEMENT:

Jesus Christ first, and all the rest will fall into line.

We hold to the historic Christian kerygma, the KERNEL, FOUNDATIONAL truths expressed in the Nicaean Creed in its entirety! Read it. Believe it. It expresses the pure, BIBLE-BASED, APOSTLE-TAUGHT Gospel of Jesus Christ, and was recognized and approved by the early church council at Nicaea, as the everlasting testimony and proclamation of the Church that the Lord Jesus, the Head of the Church, founded. Who is Jesus? In the Nicaean Creed the early Church proclaimed him to be: "Jesus Christ, God of God, light of light, true God of true God, born and not created, one substance with the Father through whom are all things created." We also hold to the Apostles Creed. This too expresses the historic Christian faith, and the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Since the attractive graphic does not render the words legibly, here is the Apostles Creed:

I BELIEVE IN GOD, THE FATHER ALMIGHTY, MAKER OF HEAVEN AND EARTH, AND IN JESUS CHRIST, HIS ONLY SON, OUR LORD, WHO WAS CONCEIVED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT, BORN OF THE VIRGIN MARY, SUFFERED UNDER PONTIUS PILATE, WAS CRUCIFIED, DEAD, AND BURIED. HE DESCENDED INTO HELL, THE THIRD DAY HE ROSE AGAIN FROM THE DEAD, HE ASCENDED INTO HEAVEN, AND IS SEATED ON THE RIGHT HAND OF GOD, THE FATHER ALMIGHTY, WHENCE HE SHALL COME TO JUDGE THE LIVING AND THE DEAD. I BELIEVE IN THE HOLY SPIRIT, THE HOLY CHRISTIAN CHURCH, THE COMMUNION OF SAINTS, THE FORGIVENESS OF SINS, THE RESURRECTION OF THE BODY, AND THE LIFE EVERLASTING. AMEN.

No human teacher or religious leader, however wise and admirable, will ever, can never, come up to the level of Almighty Godhead, unless he is Jesus Christ, fully Man, and fully God! Buddha, Mohammed, Confucius, Obama the Fake Messiah of America, and a thousand others like them, were all sinful, mortal, weak men. They (and the political demigod Obama too will die when God says so) died in their sins, and could help no one reach heaven's sinless state. Jesus remains the only true Bridge to Heaven and acceptance of God. Praise to His Name, which is above all Names, and in whom is vested all authority by His Father in heaven. Every cult, to exist, must necessarily depreciate Christ, drag him down to the level of human mortality and sinfulness, which makes him less than Savior and Lord and God and only another religious teacher. We know Mormonism and Jehovah's Witness-ism do this. Every religion does this--in order to exalt its own teachers and put them in Christ's place. Any church that depreciates Christ is also cultic, on its way into error and apostasy. Any church or group that exalts anything other than Christ as First and Foremost is on the road to hell, not heaven. After hearing about Jesus, reading about Him in holy Scripture, hearing Him proclaimed in genuine Gospel messages, who on earth would want anyone else but Him for Savior and Lord! He is unspeakably, indescribably magnificent! HE IS THE ONE AND ONLY LORD AND SAVIOR, PRAISE HIS NAME FOREVER!
