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.
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!
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.
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 from such tiger-nations as Iran, Venezuela, Russia, North Korea, and their confederates! 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.

Most heartily recommended is this incredible but all true account of a lone Christian woman (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.
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..."
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).
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.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).
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 (misspelled below! We have an essay by Nobel Laureate Czeslaw Milosz on the uniqueness of Poland. He starts it, "Poland has been always a country of faith in the impossible." You will enjoy it, and learn immensely what Poland is all about, and what we should earnestly seek to rekindle here in America, a spirit of liberty and real tolerance (not the fake, neo-fascist kind that the secular humanists have fabricated in order to push their radical agenda on the whole of the country) was living in Poland centuries before our own country was founded.--Ed.).
We need this kind of message even more now, when we clearly have a "coming dictator" in the very person and political agenda of none other than Barak Hussain Obama. Don't fool yourself by his manner and his fine words. His caring and compassion are only cosmetic, or skin deep. He doesn't necessarily stand behind anything he says he wants to do for us, he actually is standing behind only his own self and his own advancement in power. This man is all about empowering himself at the expense of the American people.
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.
"Lord, I have heard of your fame; I stand in awe of your deeds, O Lord. Renew them in our day, in our time make them known; in wrath remember mercy."--Habakkuk 3:2.--from Billy Graham Association.
TRANSFORMING
OUR NATION
ONE PRAYER
AT A TIME
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 Manasseh 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."
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).
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.
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.
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.
Most intriquing questions, and this dramatization grips them with an intensity and a realism that you will seldom ever see, and probably have not seen before (unless Mel Gibson's "The Passion of Christ" is the same or better). Excluding Mel Gibson's "Passion," I have seen all the recreations of the Crucifixion that are readily available, and you have too, no doubt. But this is a different animal. The tortured thief had real spit and drool dripping from his red lined or bloody mouth as he agonized on his cross next to Jesus--a detail you won't find in more sanitary productions. I cannot stand such hideous brutality wreaked on screaming human flesh as this dramatization shows, but I stayed to watch all of the program shown on TBN the other night, as it was so powerful in its message of who Jesus truly is and what it cost him to be the Savior of the world and of you and me.
This is not a Jesus who has some nice gashes tatsefully arranged on his upper body, and his face unmarked and clean and his beard intact--this is a man who writhed in his blood covering the pavement where he fell when he couldn't bear the cross any longer to the Crucifixion site. The thief too is a real human being, brutalized beyond belief, and even his own expectation. This moment really hit me: When he wakes up from the shock of his being nailed and then mounted up in his place and realizes he is really on a Roman cross, to hang there until he is dead experiencing unbearable tortures of every part of his body--you see his utter despair in his facial expression, and then a cry bursts forth from his gaping mouth, which must be the same kind of cry of every damned soul that ever enters hell and then wakes up to the reality that there is no escape, and the damned soul is there forever, to be tortured indescribably, forever.
Too strong a cup of tea for you? The Easter Experience definitely is strong tea, rather, it is a strong tonic I think we could all use to wake us up out of our Sunday School theology, so that we cast off our flannel-graph Jesus and our flannel-graph or Sesame Street saints and Bible characters once and for all--and...well, go see for yourself what it does to you. I just know what it did for me. If you are looking for thrilling entertainment, go somewhere else. Don't take a holy experience like this one and make like a pig at the trough. You'll be responsible for that someday, and it won't be nice to be in your shoes, believe me. See something like this, and you will never again hang a cross around your neck the same way.
The Easter Experience website, besides offering the store that will help you find it at bookstores or TBN, also offers a trailer, which requires Adobe Flash installation. It costs nothing to upload and is well worth the trivial two minutes it takes to upload.
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.

I do hope all you turned ON your lights late last Saturday instead of off, in protest against the "Save the Planet" madness that is becoming a global campaign to shut down electric plants and reduce us to the 19th century kerosene lantern and candle. Jobs depend on usage, not economizing to the point of lunacy. Civilization depends on electricity, not lanterns and candles. So people's real incomes were hit in a time of economic hardship, all across the world, as hundreds of liberal run cities got on the bandwagon to Dumbie-ville and shut off their lights.
Mr. Al Gore, Pontiff of the Global Warming Religion, did not turn his lights off in his multiple homes on Saturday, by the way. He has earned millions trumpeting the Global Warming hoax as a world crisis, but why didn't he do his part in "saving the planet" on Saturday by turning off his lights and conserving "evil" electricity?
Come let us reason together! 19,000 scientists signed a list in Oregon that says global warming due to human carbon emissions is not scientifically established. But who is listening? The Obama administration is not listening, and wouldn't care anyway. They are moving to on bills that will "cap and trade" carbon credits, a bill that will penalize businesses and not do one thing to reduce carbon emissions but will generate vast sums for the government in taxes and penalties on businesses who do not come up to the arbitrary government-set standards of acceptible carbon emissions. They also are going to shut down the coal mining industry and the coal-burning electric plants which generate so much of our electricity, driving the prices of energy sky-high. They said they would do this, and we can be sure they will move on this bill. So much for compassion for the poor! Make it impossible for them to pay heat bills and have to freeze in the dark and cold in their own houses by making the energy bill impossible to pay!
Genuine science, the true science that is based on the Scientific Method (whereas false science is based on "consensus" and opinion and bias and politics and intimidation), 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.
Don't be misled or intimidated by the media, and the politicians, who are in league to push the Global Warming Hoax agenda on us all, and crush the U.S. economy to smithereens to pay for all the parts of their insane program, that will not reduce carbon emissions a whit or have any effect whatsoever on the globe's temperature. Actually, a rising temperature is a good thing, for the world green up more, not less. But the temperature is going down, not up. Anyone can see that in the extremes of cold weather everywhere. So while the Global Warming freaks are screaming about Antarctica breaking up and floating away, it is quietly growing in total ice mass! And don't lose one minute of sleep over the polar bears. Their numbers may fluctuate from year to year, depending on how willing the seals are to jump into their open mouths, but they are so magnificently adapted to the Artic, they won't be vanishing any time soon. WE WILL SOONER VANISH THAN THE PLAR BEARS!
While the Global Warming freaks have the world thoroughly rattled and distracted, the real threat to the globe as well as to humanity is the fact the rogue states, mostly Islamic, are arming themselves with nuclear weapons and bombs. Who would they use them on anyway? Europe is ripe for conquest, for it can be intimidated and blackmailed into submission, into accepting sharia law and mass Islamic immigration. Europe has long lost the will to fight to maintain its freedom. Now America under Obama's leadership is giving up its will to live in a very dangerous world where rogue nuclear states are going to call the shots very soon now. North Korea has stood Obama on his ear (and Obama can stand on his ear, it is big enough. Iran, another rogue have-not Islamic state that aims to be a world superpower under the so-called 12 Madhi nutcase, will join North Korea and outdo it in its bid for world power and supremacy. Anyone else care to join this Axis of insane powers, now that Obama is conceding them victory by his policy of appeasement and apolocy. On his tour of Europe, he is photographed bowing obsequiously to the tinpot ruler King Abdullah of Arabia (an incredible sight of equal width and height with all those rugs he likes to wear). The Sultan of Bloat is nothing any red-blooded American ought to bow down to--but Obama bowed so deep his posteriors rose like the moon over the Gulf of Oman. What a show of insane self-abnegation for an American president, and he is supposed to be the leader of the Free World? He is nothing but a shameless toadie and lickspittle from the unsavory, needle-strewn back alleys of Chicago who is operating completely out of his league. That wonderful education he had at the most prestigious universities? If his behavior is any indication of it, it was not all that wonderful. He learned nothing, obviously, about simple human dignity, American life, American contributions to the cause of freedom everywhere. He certainly knows nothing about how a president should conduct himself before the likes of these absurd potentates and despots of the Middle East. SHAME ON YOU, BARAK OBAMA, YOU DISGRACED THE OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENCY OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA! YOU ARE POSITIVELY SICKENING!
This is the 400th anniversary of his birth and homage is being paid to his outstanding talents and contributions throughout the Free World.
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 we have seen in the Bible) as they pray and speak for Christ's kingdom. We need to stand up against Obama and the secular humanists destroying our country and gagging pastors and churches which still preach and disseminate the Gospel! We need valiant Christians who will stand for the truth and for traditional morality and traditional values and institutions God ordained. We need heroes of the faith who will not compromise with Obama and his gangland friends from Chicago's corrupt, Democrat political machine.
The Devil is clearly using him to snuff out freedom in America so that the Gospel of Christ and Christian values, beliefs, and morality can be shut out of our public life. This an an all-out war, a zero-sum conflict of good and evil. Make no mistake, Obama and his force is an evil force (taking him exactly as he has defined himself in his speeches, public statements, the bills he has supported and passed, the executive orders he has signed, his church in Chicago where he listened to a racist, blasphemous pastor for 20 years, and his books. He may not even be an American citizen, he may be a Kenyan hiding the fact he is a foreigner masquerading as a citizen born in Hawaii! In any case, his agenda, philosophy, and record as a socialist agitator in Chicago and later his legislative record in the Illinois legislature and even in the U.S. Congress all prove that he is a very wicked fellow out to overthrow the United States of America from within his office of president. This is the very creature, the monster of a man without Christian morals and restraints, whom our Founding Fathers most feared when they looked ahead to the years beyond the founding of America with the ratification of the Constitution of the United States of America. We have this monster as president now, thanks to millions of misguided and duped voters. But we still have God. God is the decider, he is still in absolute control, and he is our safe haven and our mighty fortress. Evenso, God needs valiant Christian men and women and children to stand up for his truth and his Gospel and his kingdom? How about you? Are you standing, or are you compromising and lying down, or drifting with the culture toward certain destruction?
The
Considering what we will be facing here in greater degree than ever with Obama's
taking the throne, 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.

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.
Pray for his soul, please! He is Satan's child, but God can overrule Satan anytime this man responds to God's urgent call. But if he will not respond, he will go straight to hellfire with such beliefs as he is promoting, to deceive innocent Christians and mislead them into
joining him in Satan's camp by injecting doubts in all their Christian beliefs and faith in Christ. Beware of such impressive, clerical-robed wolves, for as the Bible says, they are entering and going through the churches--luring and leading off whomever they can to hell.
These fearful, pathetic, spiritually 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:
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!
"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."
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:
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
Exalting evil as good, she must destroy the good if she possibly can. She is doing a good job for Satan, and so he is keeping her for the time being. But God will haul this harlot down from her high horse, and her fall will happen. Yes, we can pray for her soul, but
the damage she has done is irreparable. She has seduced millions of foolish, sinful souls, leading them deep into Satanic bondage, all so that she could puff up her own
ego and inflate her bank account. She will lead millions of souls to doom, and
even if she should repent now and turn to God, those millions will not turn around, they will perish. Just look what Darwin caused by publishing his flawed, scientifically
untenable "Origin of Species"? He (via his questionable theory of evolution, clearly brought on the impoverishment, imprisonment, and
enslavement and deaths of hundreds of millions of human beings. That result stands, though there is evidence that he repented and was a Christian when he died (we have given in these pages the account of Lady Hope, wife of the First Admiral of the British Fleet, visiting him, and how he expressed his faith in Jesus Christ to her when she inquired as to his spiritual conditon).
Years ago at Bible school I had a strange dream that had nothing to do with
social condtions at the time--that was the late 1970's. I saw Jews wearing yellow Stars of David patches on their shirts and evidently being terrorized by the society here in America. Well, that is coming true, in the world-wide resurgence of Nazy-style anti-semitism in the Moslem world and also in Western countries such as France, Argentina, and in Asian countries too, such as India, and others. My far-fetched dream turned out to be prophetic, did it not? I told it to the Bible school director, so he was informed of it, and he did not deny it was possible, even though there were no signs of anti-Semitism here in the America at the time. With the likes of U.S. Attorney General
Napolitano, we are in the grips now of a neo-fascism that will no doubt turn virulently and violently anti-Semitic. We seen churches, mainline denominations such as the Methodists and the Presbyterians, already turned anti-Semitic, due to Replacement Theology and also hatred for the free democratic society of Israel in preference for the authoritarian regimes of Moslem countries and the Palestinians (all in the guise of supporting human rights too!).
Rule
Number 1 in international affairs: NEVER DISCOUNT A MINORITY, OR EVEN A SINGLE INDIVIDUAL WHO IS SINGLE-MINDEDLY COMMITTED TO AN IDEA OR AN AGENDA OR PHILOSOPHY. As if the case of the Jews who produced Jesus Christ, and whose followers turned the Roman Empire upside down within a few years and transformed history for all time, dividing it into B.C. and A.D., weren't enough confirmation that Rule #1 is true! Yet many people still do not know that it takes only a tiny minority to overthrow governments and
create a revolution, subjecting the vast majority to its will and ideology? Apparently! The Muslim Jehadists, all Arabs, did it centuries ago, conquering Christian Egypt and
North Africa and Spain, and
Christian Palestine, Christian Syria, and Christian Asia Minor, followed by Christian Greece, Christian Bulgaria, Christian Serbia, Christian Hungary, just to name some of the Christian countries the Muslim armies led by Mohammed's followers conquered. All these countries had Christian majorities, and few Arabs, if any. But the Arabs overcame them with superior military might and remained as the ruling powers and elites, subjugating the Christians and reducing them to minorities as time went on and Arab emigration and mass Arab baby production continued to increase Arab numbers.
The communists have done the same thing time after time, starting with Russia. They were a tiny minority in Moscow and Leningrad, but they were well organized, of one mind and spirit, with a chosen leader they fanatically followed to the death, and you know the rest: they swung the sword, killing millions and all who resisted them, and hacked out the huge Soviet Empire, a vast slave camp ruled by a communist elite, which remained a tiny minority during its own tenure as slave masters of Russia and Eastern Europe.
So there is a most naive fallacy, when it is thought that a tiny minority of radical Moslems or Muslims are "just a small, unrepresentative minority," not world-changing in potential and objective. But history shows and proves that is all it takes--a tiny minority who are single-mindedly committed to one objective, one dream, one madness! So the idea that minorities don't really matter that much is a fallacy, a very dangerous fallacy, a very bad view to take. Yet our State Department and last president swallowed the minority-is-harmless fallacy, hook, line, and sinker! As for the "War on Terror," it has now, thanks to them, devolved into the a "problem of Extremism."
Our leaders and the press and media and government proceeded down this road to disaster, once they began thinking that it was just a tiny minority involved in the Twin Towers and Pentagon incidents, which were catastrophes that almost brought this nation to its knees. The full-blown plan of the jehadists, in fact, would have utterly paralyzed and shattered
New York, killing tens of thousands at multiple transportation hubs and systems and shutting down the entire economy based on
New York corporations and Wall Street. But that much greater catastrophe and take-out (and the Congress or White House was also a target, let it be remembered!) did not happen, thanks be to God's mercy. And it was quickly trivialized and forgotten in the rush to render the incident "logical" and "a matter for administrative review." Yes, the War on Terror continued with the invasion of Afghanistan and after that, Iraq, but the terms of it were constantly being defined by the press and intelligentsia in Washington and New York in a way that was intended to end such efforts. So, with some help from President Bush and his almost inarticulate White House Staff (who as products of Republican country-club etiquette, were instructed to never go on the offense against their declared enemies in the press or present an affirmative, idealistic message of constructive hope for America that could capture the aspirations of the people), the fallacy continued, and then another fallacy joined it in the thinking of intellectuals and government leaders and policy makers: the fallacy of moral equivalence.
What is that? Moral equivalence says that apples are oranges since they are both fruits. That is a fallacy, which you can see it plainly in this example. Oranges and apples may be fruits, but it obvious they are very, very different in taste, texture, structure, appearance, smell, habitat, nutritional makeup, DNA, and other vital respects. Yet this fallacy gained the ascendency in political thinking, helped along by the first fallacy, that tiny minorities don't matter that much and are
controllable. "Moslem" was therefore dropped in referring to Moslem jehadists early on, so as not to offend the so-called majority Moslem population of "moderates."
First, they were called terrorists only, then even that is dropped, changed to "extremist." So we have moral equivalence bringing us to a most dangerous situation, where anyone branded extremist can be equated and, consequently, treated the same. Conservatives and Christians have been branded "right-wingers" and "radicals" by the liberal media and press, and not much was thought about that, though it wasn't true they were radical, and many who are conservative are not necessarily part of the "religious Right" once led by Jerry Falwell. What this leads to is the government of the U.S. and other Western Countries viewing Christians and Conservatives as "radicals" and then as
"extremists," putting them into the same category as Moslem jehadists who are now called "extremist" by Obama (we can suppose he means to de-claw them by calling them nicer names, but it is doubtful the tiger will go along with Obama's political, semantic game!). Obama vows to defeat these "extremists," but he might as well promise to defeat the Conservatives and Christians in America too, who are now in his assault rifle sights for extermination. Yet will he treat these apples and oranges the same?
No, he will not! He considers the Moslem jehadists extremists to be capable of negotiation; but as for Conservatives and Christians, he will not negotiate with them in the least. His chief enemy, in his opinion, has to be the Conservatives and Christians who oppose most all his agenda, if not all. Once he has negotiated peace with the Iranians and the jehadists attemping to blow up our cities, he will go to war, the real War on Terror in his agenda, against Conservatives and Christians. He will do it cold-blooded, from ideology alone. Marx was anti-Christian, atheist, calling "religion" the "opiate of the people." Obama believes it is too, when it is evangelical, Conservative, Christ-only-faith. Evangelicals hold to absolutes, and maintain that God is
above all human authority, but this Obama cannot abide, he must eradicate such people. He is like any Lenin or talin or Hitler or authoritarian ruler in this respect. He has to proceed a little more carefully, not having a Gestapo yet to do his bidding and
enact massacres and mass imprisonments of any people groups that threaten his power base, but he is proceeding this Leninist program of power grabbing by firing off executive orders like an artillery barrage against all our liberties and freedoms. Simultaneously, a grovelling, sychophantic, subservient Congress of Democrats are firing off
a barrage of bills that support their master's takeover of the United States and the
makeover of its entire governmental system.
E. Christian Kopff wrote "The Devil Knows Latin: Why America
Needs the Classical Tradition." It is an excellent, scholarly, insightful book in many topics he takes up regarding his them, but I just noticed in
looking into it again that it contains the--alas! this is much more than a fly in the ointment--Fallacy of Moral Equivalence. He actually says on pages 269-271 that the Big Apple mafia leader, called Godfather, is the same as the President of the country. "'Godfather' is not a documentary about a twisted criminal society," Kopff observed as if he were a Bible scholar, "it is about real life." Michael [in the Godfather film] says to his old girlfriend, "Kay, my father is no different from any other powerful man--any man who is responsible for other people, like a senator or a president." She protests that he has had men killed, that he sounds naive to her. Presidents and senators don't act that way. He replies, "Now who's being naive, Kay," he answers. Kopff agrees wholly with Michael! He goes on to say that the Bible is about real life, the mixture of good and bad.
Not true, Mr. Kopff, it is not a mixture. True, it is not sanitized to exclude the faults of real men and real women, but that does not make it a blend or mixture. It is not about moral equivalences such as you have compromised with! Sorry to say, you represent an entire generation of intellectuals and government leaders today in the highest circles and even in the chair of the President, but you are flat wrong. The Bible is about black (true), but it is also about white, it is about unrighteousness, but it is really pointing to righteousness (and the source of all true righteousness), which is Christ the Lord. It is about unholiness of men, but it has the solution and the cure, Jesus Christ, and it is pointing all the while to the Holiness of God on high that we can attain through Christ alone! We must come up to God's holy, righteous level, Mr. Kopff, not drag him down to our moral slimepit of moral equivalences, where your mafia godfathers as well as bomb-pack-carrying Moslem jehadists are equated with praying Christian grandmothers and little children in Sunday School.
The hell-inspired fallacy of moral equivalence has driven the Western World to the brink of self-destruction. The enemy will march right in, after intimidating us into silence. We are gagged, we cannot even criticise our attackers, according to this fallacy, or we will be labelled
"extremist" and perpetrators of hate speech. In Holland people are fined for making ethnic jokes. Under hate speech laws that are now going to be passed soon, the fines will be trivial, if imposed, compared to the other punitive measures taken against Christians and Conservatives. Well, we must then take up our cross in defense of the truth and bear that label too of haters, just as in the Roman Empire Christians were labelled cannibals, drinkers of blood, atheists, and traitors because they wouldn't bow down and worship the Emperor as a god! In this age of compromise with falsehoods of every kind, when masses of people, including evangelicals, are bowing to the false gods of this age, we must
hold up the truth, which is the only hope of the world, the only future for the world. that truth, that hope, is and can only be Jesus Christ, who declared, "I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life;
nobody comes to the Father but by Me."
Yes, not every war is just--most are caused by envy and greed--but this one surely was just in heaven's eyes! Conscientious objectors have a case in many wars, not not all. Anyone would would refuse to fight for freedom and one's faith, if pushed to the wall by an attacking enemy force, is not worthy of having freedom and faith. Jesus never said not to fight for such things, but to champion your faith with a sword, that he would never countenance! The Turks did that, but Christians should never take up the sword to spread the Christian faith--only defend their homes and motherland and their allies as well. This problem has plagued Christians since earliest times--is war just or not just. When is there just reason for war, or are all wars unjust in heaven's sight. We know the answer from the Bible. All wars are not unjust. Some are justified. God even commanded wars to be fought, in the forcible taking of the Promised Land from its heathen
residents by the children of Israel. And he recommended others, as various righteous kings of Israel or Judah sought God's will on whether to go to war or not. The Bible makes it amply clear that some wars are justified and should be fought. But others, most others, clearly were man's own doing alone--and not justified. They were hateful in God's eyes. Today many people have become wishful pacifists, thinking that mere talk will solve international disputes or even bring peace to the Middle East between Israel and the Moslem Arab and Iranian states. They should review history, read up on the battle for Vienna by the invading, imperial Ottoman Turkish armies of the Sultan Suleyman the Magnificent. He meant to take all Europe and add it to his empire, as he considered himself the Caesar of Europe, after his forebear, Sultan Mehmet took Constantinople from the last Christian Byzantine emperor, Constantine. What Christian pacifist of today
would think it was just to allow such a thing to come to pass, without taking a stand?
Would talk have dissuaded the sultan? Talk had already occurred, and accomplished nothing. They had no end of embassies and ambassadors in that day, and all sort of treaties being forged and signed, just as today, and still no peace was assured. The sultan was imperialistic, greedy, vain, and hostile to anyone who dared cross his will, and
considered himself the appointed emissary of Allah to effect the conquest of Christian Europe and
add it to the House of Islam.
Today we face the sultan's children, these jehadists from the various Moslem countries of the Middle East, Africa, and the Far East. They are even settled in our midst in the West, biding their time to strike us in our own streets, towns, and cities. But we must stand up as Christian men and women to defend ourselves and our homes and families. We have armies, but they are not our first line of defense. We have to be in constant prayer and in living a righteous life despite the immoral popular culture bequeathed us by the rasacally secularist-humanists now in the ascendency in the West. They will not stand against tyrants and Moslem jehadists and fight for our freedom and our faith--we must do it! They have no interest in fighting for freedoms and liberties they exploit but heartily despise--they rather like authoritarianism, as long as they can remain safe and secure in the wealthy elite while the rest of the citizenry wallow in squalor and poverty they can divide up into minorities and exploit politically. It is we Christians of today, like King Jan III Sobieski and his valiant Poles, who must affirm and
fight for what we cherish, our freedoms and our faith in Christ--lest we lose them them as cowards deserve to lose them.
Jesus said, that if a man is ashamed and does not acknowledge Him, then He too will not acknowledge that man before His Father in heaven.
So if you cannot, with conscience, remain on the sidelines, quoting the verse where Jesus said to his followers, that whoever takes up the sword will perish by the sword. He never intended us to think we were not to engage in self defense or fight for the protection of our liberties and our country. It is a duty to bear a gun for freedom, or, if conscience does not permit you that, go as a medic, but go meekly, not protesting and defiant, to the army stockade for the duration if you won't even be a medic. In anything you do choose to do, do not run from your duties and responsibilities before God to defend your country, your honor, your faith, and your family and loved ones. Anyone who refuses to do that, is worthy of the lash, not the blessings. Others before us paid with their blood and lives so that we could have a free country--how can we throw it away, without lifting a finger in our country's defense? That is the most cowardly thing we could do--let
our enemies walk in and destroy our hard-bought freedom.
I was once in a Quaker church and in a Quaker college where this issue came up in the First Gulf War. The Quakers around me could not, or were reluctant to speak out, to resolve the burning question raised at a school chapel by the agonized young man struggling with his conscience over whether to fight or not to fight in war. But the Word of God resolves it quite well. God never spoke against self defense, national defense, and resistance against every form of oppression and tyranny--never! He is always on the side of freedom and liberty. And such things require sacrifice, eternal vigilance, and even blood and lives on occasion. It is man who is confused by his own faulty wisdom and his own vain philosophy.

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.
I ordered my copy, have you? The greatest book after the Bible arguably is Pilgrim's Progress by John Bunyan, an English man of God who was imprisoned for his faith in Christ and wrote this immortal, allegorical story about a troubled, seeking man who struggled to find the road to life and to escape the City of Destruction he and his family were living in, and who fled home and a wife and family who preferred their lives of sin only to encounter many pitfalls and hazards and detours on the road to the Celestial City of God. Are you satisfied with your life in the worldly, sinful City of this world? If so, you are lost, headed for destruction. But if you want a better city, a better country that God has made for you, that will last forever and where where will exist no sin and unhappiness and darkness, then you must leave the worldly, sinful City of Destruciton, as Christian the Pilgrim in Bunyan's story did. Then, after
you set out on this journey as a born again, committed child of God, if you want to know why you are experiencing hard things and why, here is the pictured account of your own spiritual journey, start to end. Let's hope you end as Christian, the Pilgrim, did! He made it to the Celestial City, by God's grace, strength, and Spirit. Will you depend on God completely and not give up? If you give up, you won't reach the goal, Heaven's shining gates.

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), King Alfred of Wessex united his country against the invading, seeming unconquerable 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.

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!

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.

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 Wilkerson, 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.
David Wilkerson has a piece in the Lamplighter, the May-June Issue, that you will want to see if you care what is going on with this country and the
destruction that is coming upon it. David Wilkerson is called by the Lamplighter founder, Dr. Reagon, "God's Jeremiah to America."
"When God Departs--Is God Leaving America?" by David Wilkerson, 11-18-1991
Prophetic Vision, the magazine of David Hathaway's evangelistic and healing ministry to Siberia, Russia, and Europe, is an exciting magazine. This is the 50th anniversary issue:
As shown in the March Lamplighter, this Russian political analyst prophecies the breakup of the U.S. in the near future, maybe in a year from now. Four or so different sections will emerge, he says, out of the revolution and breakup. Could happen, people! We and our ship of state like the Titanic and all its people are heading down, down, down with Obama, and people are at last waking up to the fact we struck a moral iceberg, called the righteousness of God. But it may not be an opportunity anymore to turn back, the Federal System may be doomed, which is doomed anyway with the likes of Obama and his Chicago gang at the helm.
In the same issue, the Baptists have a ravening wolf in the fold, called
John Killinger, a "theologian." God help the Baptists, they have a devil dressed up as a theologian. He was featured at a convention of the Baptists, which
is dominated by liberals (this is not the Southern Baptist Convention, but another that was got up after the liberals broke from the conservative, Bible-believing Baptists a little while ago). According to the Lamplighter, Killinger says that Jesus never claimed to be the Savior of the world, that Daniel was "fibbing a lot" in his prophecies, that Mark is a Gnostic writing, and there really is no God in the first place. Why be a theologican then (much less a "Baptist" and "Christian evangelical,") if there is no God, no saving Jesus Christ, no truth in the Bible, Mr. Killinger? Your name starts with "kill." That is most fitting. You are so named because you are out to twist and warp and kill the truth if you can--that is your devil's mission in life, obviously. Well, you are a liar, the truth cannot ever be killed, and so the lake of fire is your reward ultimately! Your attacks on God and the Bible and even the Lord Jesus are all old and worm-eaten cheese, they have been done before, a thousand years and more ago, and you bring nothing new to the table of the atheists and Christ-haters. What a poor wretch you are, despite your smile! Inside, you are nothing but falsehood, lies, nihilism, deception, and guile, and bad, outdated, discredited theology--that is, satanic darkness.

HOW ABOUT THIS FOR A VEHICLE LICENCE?
From a newspaper carrying "On Tuell's Behind the Plate..."--Our plate for today has been very elusive. I chased down the driver all the way to his home. I got his telephone number for an interview,. I tried to call a number of times, yet he was not at home. "BBORN2X" is in reference to his faith in Christ. When a person invites Christ to take over his or her life, he or she is born again, hence "BBORN2X" (Be Born Two Times)."
Jawbone of Judgment Center:
Listen to what is being said. It is obvious that there is scarcely a fluid ounce of truth left in this nation of America, it has become such a society of shameless, pathological liars ( who are even proud of it!).
Surveys and polls have been taken. What are the doleful results? 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 to your face or flatly deny knowing what they did or you just saw saw being done by them, when you know they aren't telling the truth and they know you know, but don't care what you think? They refuse to take any responsibility for what they do is wrong, so they just deny it or make a silly excuse. "Adults" do the same too! Just listen to a couple of minutes on Dr. Phil, or Oprah, and the childish, self-centered adults are worse than the children in practicing irresponsibility and lying and mistreating others. 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 in Washington on Pennsylvania Avenue. It is truly a Black House, a sin-filthy den of every kind of deceit and 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 and their complicit, presidential husbands.
"Fervent words with a wicked heart are like earthenware covered with silver dross.
The ignoble man who sent Churchill's noble bust in the Oval Office back to Britain which had given it, Barak Hussain Obama, the professional shyster from the seamy political wards of Chicago, 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!):
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.
"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.
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.

Pastor Ron Phillips has a message on this dark time for Christians in America, when things get worse, not better. Please go to his ministry and church website for it.
Pastor Ron Phillips, Message
on "What to Do when things get worse."
WHAT IS A TRUE CHRISTIAN? THERE ARE SO MANY COUNTERFEITS ABOUNDING IN OUR EVANGELICAL CIRCLES THESE DAYS. THE EMERGENT CHURCH, SO-CALLED, WHICH IS DESCRIBED IN THE LATEST ISSUE OF ISRAEL MY GLORY MAGAZINE, MARCH-APRIL 2009, IS BUT ANOTHER COUNTERFEIT OF CHRIST'S TRUE CHURCH AND BRIDE. THE EXPONENTS OF THE FALSE CHURCH 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 (FOR I CAN TESTIFY I AM A PRODIGAL, SAVED BY GRACE), BUT AS A TRUE PRODIGAL HE WOULDN'T BE ON THAT DEVILISH PROGRAM WITH THE LIKES OF HER, HIS PROUD SPIRIT SPARRING WITH HER PROUD AND WICKED SPIRIT AND EVEN SILENCING HER, IF HE WERE A GENUINE PRODIGAL. HE OUGHT TO KNOW FROM HER SHOWS' CONTENT AND HER PHILOSOPHY THAT ENDORSES EVERYTHING UNCHRISTIAN 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:
The Cyberhymnal (Alphabetical, with Midi Music and Lyrics Provided, as well as Histories of the Composers)
BLOOD'S MYSTERY: In connection with the erroneous claims of Darwinian Evolution, not God's eternally true Gospel of salvation, we will have an excerpt on the blood clotting, a strange subject, you might think at first thought. Yet this ability of the blood to clot saves our lives! How does it happen? It doesn't just happen. The
process is so infinitely complex, it astounds science, and scientists cannot explain it. It remains a mystery to them. But we can know some of the processes, and they are described in Micahel J. Behe's book, "Darwin's Black Box." Look for it soon here on this page.

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. They somehow despise or can't believe a free gift when it comes from God their Maker, but they will gladly accept a free gift, without question,
from the world. As it is, they don't believe in any such free Gift from God because they don't want to be humble. It is a matter of innate human pride to reject the grace of God. "Don't you dare save me, God, I will save myself, thank you!" "I don't want to owe God everything in return, so I will work and get salvation by my own effort, and then I can strut around heaven and
brag about how I pulled it off!" What an ugly, stinking thing is human pride. You and I can be sure it will never enter the gates of heaven.
Never! Human nature is not acceptable, despite all the caring attentions of Dr. Phil and Oprah Winfrey. Human nature must die on the cross, and Christ nature
take its place on us--or we will never see the paradise promised to the saints of God.
Deshazer's stunning story is available from Discovery House.
Let the Living, Restoring, Healing, Strengthening Word of God FLOW INTO YOUR HEART AND LIFE NOW!
Every school child in America should be taught about him, giving the account of his conversion too. I spoke of him before on this page. Remember Captain Mitsuo Fuchida, who led the Imperial Japanese bombers in the Pearl Harbor attack? That single surprise attack was so successful, mainland America, starting with the West Coast, was laid wide open to invasion (something the Japanese did not know, but could have exploited, if they had, with catastrophic results to all us Americans!). He went to America to speak about his surrendering to Christ after reading the tract and story of Jake DeShazer. His story featured in the above DVD which I have just seen, Jake, a farmer's son from Oregon who joined the
Navy, was a bombadier in the Doolittle bombing raid on Tokyo and was captured in China and interred and tortured in a Japanese prison. Jake came to Christ reading a Bible handed out to the prisoners, repenting of his great hatred for the Japanese, and coming to love them instead with God's love, nothing he himself could manufacture. Later, on release at the end of the war, he returned home, went to Seattle to a seminary, married a lovely Christian woman who wanted to be a missionary, and together they joined their
efforts as he became an evangelist to the very people he had formerly hated. Well, Captain Mitsuo Fuchida was one of the many hundreds and thousands who heard or read the American POW DeShazer's startling testimony of how he changed from a man of hate to a man of love for his enemies, and this former hero of the Japanese came to know God's forgiveness and became a follower of Christ too. Fuchida and DeShazer met, joined together, were co-evangelists in Japan. But in the meeting at the city auditorium in Portland, Fuchida came face to face with a survivor of the deadly, unforgettable Pearl Harbor attack, Frank Morgan. Don't miss it! Here is the story of that dramatic encounter:
"Postscript" by Frank Morgan, Evangelist
I may also add the account of Frank Morgan's chaplaincy and his
ministering in prison to two convicted killers, brothers to each other and also
Christians after he led them to the Lord before they were hung, still declaring their innocence.
"When Hope is Dead--Hope On!" by W.E. Sangster
REALITY CHECK CENTER:
Guest expert speaking out on Oprah: "It is not unusual for men and women to sexually molest their children." That is clearly an outright lie. There are no statistics to support it, nor were any statistics given to support it. Oprah let this stand in the tape, and did not edit it out.
This confirms my contention, that she deliberately assaults the family, particularly parents, trying to supplant traditional parents with same-sex partners as "mommie and mommie," or "daddie and daddie". How can she do that? She does it by defaming and discrediting traditional parents, and makes every dad out to be a molester or at least
an abuser. By daily parading the sins of some members of this liberalism-poisoned and corrupted society, she is determined to destroyed the Biblical foundations of our society, by destroying the family that God instituted. God will hold her responsible for this
terrible crime. I think she is not a good person, as she purports to be. She is a rotten person. You do not have to look rotten to be rotten. Rottenous, as Christ identified it in his confrontation with the Pharisees and scribes, is a spiritual condition within. He called them sepulchers full of dead men's bones, but whited (covered over with
spotless white paint) to look nice. Oprah spends tens of thousands a year to look nice, she is "whiting" (no pun intended) herself. This "whited Oprah" is a manufactured, carefully tailored image, that has no reality but will fool most people watching it.
Behind the facade, however, is a reality that is stinking and rotten. Dead men's bones,
half-decomposed carrion, worms, bugs, and the stench of rottenous and death--that is what fills the smiling, gregarious, witty, charming, state of the art "whited Oprah." She herself is nothing but a lying, self-centered, selfish cheat and hedonist, totally insecure, who stuffs herself with
mass public acclaim and worship daily, along with the hundreds of millions she gets in salary and other perks for perpetrating her daily crime of deceiving masses of
foolish young women and people across America. To try and hold off the judgment she fears for her actions, she defames Christ and the Cross in her productions, as often as she can. She panders incessantly to the Leftist, secularist agenda, supporting
gay rights and same-sexers, endorsing Obama as president, anything she can do to
destroy the Bible and a Christian America that stands as a rebuke to her and her wicked
ways.
Pro-lifers are now termed domestic terrorists, according to U.S. Attorney General
Napolitano in her recent report on the threats she declares that America faces. This report was
approved by Obama and was sent out to law enforcement agencies nation-wide. I heard this report several days ago, and the part that is most
troubling is the part I have cited. In other words, we evangelicals who support
life for the unborn babies are now equated by our own government with Timothy McVeigh. Timothy McVeigh, the Oklahoma County City Building bomber, is the same as us?
How lunatic can our government become? It is in the last stage of insanity, apparently.
We are now no longer merely "extremists" along with Al Qaida and other Moslem Jehadists who violently attack Western societies, we are "domestic terrorists" who are home-grown, according to our own Attorney General of the U.S. Are you getting concerned yet? You and I
need to be. Kristalnacht (the smashing of Jewish store front windows and shops and businesses and homes by
Nazi thugs) is not far distant. Concentration camps (authorized by the Attorney General for "sensitive training" for evangelicals and all those who are pro-life) are not out of the question either. It is all a logical repeat of the 1930's in Nazi-run Germany.
Modernism is an evil that invaded the churches and seminaries and Bible colleges over 70 years ago; and has been working since to eat out the heart of our spiritual connection with God ever since, and doing a very good job at it. You don't have to know it exists for it to be feeding on you, twisting you into anything it likes, because it has control, like an octopus, of every vital part of your world-view, thought-life, and spiritual being, sucking out everything that is of God and subsituting the devilish spirit of this satanic world system that is totally opposed to Christ. Exaggerated? Hardly! I could not tell you how bad it is--it is worse than can be said in human words. Just look at some of the disastrous fruits of it, when you read the message by
N.M. Ylvisaker, of which we have the beginning portion here:
"Modernism in the Church: The Enemy Within," Exerpt of the Chapter, "Toward Tomorrow's Church, from the book, "Faces Toward God," by N.M. Ylvisaker, 1936
Can good be separated from God? Can a leader be a good leader without
God or Christian principles? Can there be constructive Hope and Change without
the Hope and Change based on the truth of God and the Bible? Our society has said, yes!
It has elected leaders who have no ethics or principles based on the Bible, on God, or on holiness. We have opportunism, dressed up in secular-humanist idealism, and
they exist in opposition to Christianity. Will this produce social good or inrestrained, rampant evil? W. E. Sangster, writing in 1940 on the eve of World War II, tackled this highly important question head-on. He won! But we lost the war of ideas lately, in our nation's conceding that the answer to the question is that character and the office have no necessary connection. Completely opposite to the Word of God on that issue, even society trends can tell us that it could not be more wrong as a conclusion, but let W. E. Sangster show you specifically why that is so. We will feature a companion piece, "Modernism and Tomorrow's Church," by
N. M. Ylvisaker as soon as we can, for it was written and published about the same time, (circa 1936-1940), and explains the philosophy that gutted American Protestantism and the mainline Protestant churches and denominations (Lutheran (to a lesser extent, however, than the others), Methodist, Congregational, Episcopalian, Presbyterian) of true, Biblical spirituality.
"Good Without God," Chapter VII, by W. E. Sangster
WHEN IT COMES TO GOOD AND EVIL, THERE ARE NO MORAL EQUIVALENTS IN GOD'S EYES: Have you wondered why the media and press and most all commentators and even the late George Bush administration dropped "Moslem" like hot fries at McDonalds and then proceeded down the same slippery slope of trying to offend nobody Arab or Middle Eastern and then quit saying "terrorist" altogether? What happened to the "War on Terror"? It was
renamed and then shelved completely by the time Obama took office. Obama has deleted the word "terrorist" altogether from his vocabulary, so instead he calls Moslem terrorist and jehadists "extremists"--extremists are just people like you and me who happen to strap bombs to their backs or midriffs and then go and blow up Jewish babies, mothers, old people, working people on packed buses, schools with the children in them, or, if they
"happen" to be Hamas freedom fighters, fire rockets paid for with U.S. and European aid money on Israeli people from so. Lebanon or Gaza. If you attack others, they are "extremists." What is going on? The men who attacked the Twin Towers and the Pentagon were nothing but Moslem jehadists, that is, Moslem terrorists. That is a fact, and they said so themselves in their prior statements. But our government quickly began slipping down the slope of accommodation and spin in the weeks that followed. First, they were called "radicals" by our press and government and "Moslem" appeared less and less, to distinguish them from so-called "moderate Moslems," whom are supposed and said by former President Bush to be pacific or peaceful, not given to violence. How was that view ever proven? Truly, it was not proven, it was a mere belief, a mere assumption, based on political expediency.
These "moderate Moslems," were presumed, without evidence, to be the silent majority, and so the radicals were the tiny minority that was not "representative." That was the logic and twisted semantics they used to devise a state policy--which is extremely flawed on a number of counts.
MILITANT, JEHADIST ISLAM IS BACK STORMING THE GATES OF WESTERN CIVILIZATION, AND WE NEED ANOTHER SUCH KING OF POLAND! If Poland had NOT come to the aid of the West, in the Turkish
invasion of Eastern Europe, Islam would most certainly have conquered the heartland of Europe and Christians would have been driven right out off 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 monster cannons and the human waves of hundreds of thousands of armed 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 hordes of Turks, and they withdrew without
taking Vienna, the last main gateway to Europe. Thank God for the Poles and their king! We all owe them what we can never repay--our whole Christian civilization, even salvation itself, which we might not have gained except for their brave stand at Vienna.
"Poland," A Country with Faith in the Impossible, by
Nobel Laureate Czeslaw Milosz
WHAT DOES POLAND MEAN TO US TODAY?: Did you know these actual facts? Poland saved Christian Europe and Western democratic freedoms, not just once, but
at least twice: once at Vienna in throwing back the Turkish juggernaut, another time in the 1970s, when the Soviet Union was poised to attack the Western countries with nuclear arms, East Germany leading the armies of the Warsar Pact communist nations. So, Presidente Barak Obama! Think twice about throwing Poland under the bus, for the bus may be running over YOU next time!
Poland, our faithful ally in the war against Islamic terror in the Middle East, is being shamefully abandoned by America, an America who is treacherous to her friends and compromising to her enemies. President Bush let this free, freedom loving nation, and U.S. ally in Iraq, Georgia, be mauled by the Russian bear in 2007, and now we see Poland, who loves freedom just as much or more, about to be abandoned by the double-dealing, lying Presidente Obama. Yet Poles are made of firmer stuff than present-day American leaders! Dominiki Borowska, a Polish Jew, has at age 21 gone to bat on the front lines of Islamic aggression against Israel, serving in the war zone as a "volunteer for the Magen David Adom (Red Cross) emergency services in Ashkelon. She couldn't be happier [its says in the Levitt Letter, March 2009 issue]. "I have really fallen in love with this country and the warmth of the people around me," Borowska said. She is in Israel as part of a joint program of MDA and the Jewish Agency, which brings Jewish youth to volunteer in this country. Upon her arrival, Borowska was stationed at the MDA unit in Ashkelon, but when the fighting in the south broke out she was given the possibility of moving to another unit far from the rockets, but chose to stay. "Yesterday we were alerted to the landing site of one of the rockets where a young man had been killed," she said. Our team treated a man who was injured by shrapnel. "It is amazing to be part of a MDA mission and save someone's life," she added.--Polish Girl Treats Rocket Casualties," Levitt Letter, Mar. 2009.

Graham (seated on far right, next to the divorced and remarried
Speaker of the House

REBELLIOUS, ANTI-CHRISTIAN, 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!
"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 government (thanks to the "King of the Homosexuals in Congress," Barney Frank, and his homosexual-supportive Democrat friends in 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"
Let's not be fooled! The Devil goes to church too and claims to be a Christian!
SOME UPCOMING THUNDERBOLTS TO SHAKE YOU OUT OF THE SLEEPING CHURCH AND BACK INTO FULL CONSCIOUSNESS: "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. We also want to include portions of "The Power of the Blood," by H. A. Maxwell-Whyte as a companion piece to T. L. Osborn's message on the Blood of Jesus Christ. In connection, Billy and Franklin Graham's latest Decision magazine carries the theme, the Blood of Christ, in all its main articles. We also want to feature "Modernism and Tomorrow's Church," by Y. L. Ylvisaker, which is a companion piece to our already featured, "Good Without God," by W. E. Sangster, which shows the disaster for the church and for Christian faith in individuals and in society when goodness is divorced from morality, God, and the Bible. You should check out at the library or buy at Wal-Mart or a Christian bookstore or order on-line the video or DVD film, "Time Changers," which deals with the same issue ina most dramatic way you will find fascinating, as it uses time travel to make its point more graphic, by transporting a church school professor with a book of theology about to be published to the streets of today's Manhattan urban jungle. His discoveries conclusive convinces him his theology is wrong, that good cannot be divorced from God and still remain good. TBN also has this film on DVD, and I received a copy from them.
