THIS SITE IS NOT FOR THE SELF-INDULGENT, THE SELF-SEEKING, THE SELF-DRIVEN, THE CROSS-DESPISERS, THE SECULARIST SCOFFERS, (YES, WE LOVE THEM AND PRAY FOR THEM BUT...) IT IS FOR CHRISTIANS WHO ARE REALLY WANTING TO MAKE IT THROUGH THIS SINFUL, SNARE-CHOKED EARTHLY LIFE TO THE ETERNAL SAFETY AND ETERNAL FULFILMENT AND HAPPINESS OF HEAVEN. INTERESTED? HANG AROUND THEN, AND LET THE FLEETING WORLD GO BY AS YOU FOCUS ON THE THINGS THAT TRULY COUNT FOR YOUR ETERNAL HAPPINESS.

"The Book of Books" is really a library of 66 books that the Holy Spirit gathered into one supreme Book--surely a proof of divine inspiration, since no other book has been compiled in this way and it still can make any sense at all. Added to that, it was written over thousands of years, by many different writers of all sorts of trades, official position high and low, and true prophets. Most were Jewish, but not all--Job, for example, was probably an Edomite. The Book of Ruth concerns a heathen Moabitess, who left paganism and believed in the God of Israel and married into the line of Christ. Kings, sycamore tree orchardmen, a physician, a priest, a Persian court official of Jewish blood, a runaway murderer, a poet, a tax collector for the Romans in Judaea, a fisherman from Galilee, a Jewish queen of Persia written probably about by her Uncle Mordecai...and what do all these 66 books concern themselves about?--a carpenter from a dirty, disreputable town called Nazareth and who was born in Bethlehem, a tiny, one gas-pump town six miles from Jerusalem! This is the Book of Books, written for the sake of the Carpenter who turned the world upside down! Only God could have brought it into existence. It is the marvel of the ages, a treasure worth more than the whole world's wealth and property.

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

MY NEIGHBOR'S BIBLE:

HOW DOES YOUR NEIGHBOR READ YOU AND ME, FRIEND?

I am my neighbor's Bible,

He reads me when we meet;

Today he reads me in my home.

Tomorrow in the street.

He may be relative or friend,

He may be strange to me;

He may not even know my name,

Yet, he is reading ME.

Ever wonder what the Biblical power button is as to how you can get your prayers answered, and be assured even while you are praying that God will hear and answer you? We all want answers to prayers, right? There is a plain and simple way that the Bible teaches us. It is the only way God has provided, so that we need try no other way. First see the Twenty Seven Promises or Assurances in Scripture, and then go to the catalytic or enabling or empowering scripture after the 27th verse:

B.I.B.L.E.--"Basic Instruction Before Leaving Earth"--Acronym by Pastor John Hagee, Cornerstone Church, San Antonio, Texas. It is hard to come up with anything better, right? Maybe you can. Put your Thinking Cap on. Try it! Then let me know in a year if you came up with something that can top his!

From the National Geographic, Sept. 1973, here is an excerpt of the article by a Moonwalker and the mission commander of Apollo 17, David R. Scott: "In a little hollow in the moon dust we place a stylized figurine of a man in a space suit and beside it another metal plaque bearing the names of the 14 spacemen--Russian and Americans--who have given their lives so that man may range the cosmos. Finally, we deposit a single book: the Bible." It is a beautiful thing they did, so that the Word of God could circle the earth until the Lord, the Living Word of God, returns! Surely, the Lord blessed NASA, enabling the Apollo teams to complete their missions without any loss of life on the Moon or going to and returning from it.

THE SOUL-SAVING WORD OF GOD IN BRAILLE:

What if you couldn't talk, or for some reason could not be heard by anyone you needed to get a message to? What then? What if you had no pencil or paper or couldn't use an email? Sign language, which should be taught to everyone in public schools early on for just such emergencies (let the silly genderism, multiculturalism, diversity, and amoral gay agenda propaganda go, and teach things that really will be of use to students for a change!), can also be used to transmit and preach the Gospel, and here is a little sample of sign language with a timeless message:

"CONGRESS DECLARES BIBLE THE WORD OF GOD," Public Law 97-280, October 4, 1982, Statute 1211, Approved October 4, 1982


Any day now the Congress will pass a law against the Word of God, the Bible. It will be declared a suspect, retrograde book, and anyone who preaches from its passages with freedom will be an enemy of the state, a domestic terrorist, a perpetrator of hate crimes. This is not a prophecy. GODLESS, ANTI-CHRISTIAN bills written up by the arch-hater of Christianity and the Bible, the apostate and secularist and lapsed Catholic, the late Sen. Ted Kennedy from Massachusetts, will be brought forward in honor to him now that he is taken by cancer after a lifetime of passionately serving the flesh and the Devil in the equally devil-ruled U.S. Congress. Think how much good he could have done the nation and even his own benighted family if he had chosen instead to serve God and righteousness! He could have even become a great president, but for the passing obsessions of lust and power he threw away all possibility of eternal happiness and reward in heaven. His long-lived mother, Mrs. Rose Kennedy, was a true saint, who suffered much from her reprobate husband, Joseph Kennedy. He started this whole clan on its way to destruction with his ceaseless adulteries and bootlegging operations in Canada and the U.S., which got him involved in Chicago gang connections, and his support for the Nazis prior to World War II, and all the rest of his misdeeds in raising sons who would follow in his misguided, hell-bent footsteps. Ted did not wake up to the fact he was following the wrong leader, his father, instead of the example of his saintly mother who loved Jesus. He had a lifetime to do that, but evidently liked power and wealth and sexual sin too much to switch masters. Tragedy goes right along with sin and willful disobedience, as it surely did with the Kennedy family, even while they had a true light in their midst, Rose Kennedy the Jesus-serving matriarch of the Kennedy clan. It just goes to show that even if there is a light, many men still prefer darkness. And, though it was not God's will, that is exactly where they end up too--eternal darkness!

GRATITUDE TO GOD CENTER:

It is one thing to sail a boat on calm, still waters, but what if the sea turns rough and threatens to even capsize our boat? What about stormy times in our lives too, how much thankfulness do we express then? Or rather are we telling the whole world our sob story or how we got the short end of the stick? Oprah Winfrey and Dr. Phil would be put out of business in a couple weeks if they couldn't capitalize on the seemingly endless supply of complainers and carpers and Bad Luck Lucies they feature on their soap opera-like tell-alls. Am I not right? Yes, I am right about this. America, if their version of it holds true, has to have the biggest collection of complainers and carpers and over-all thankless people in the world! Here is a nation more blessed than any other on earth, with the most ungrateful people and the greatest number of them too! I hope this is not so! Ungrateful people are going to tear this nation down, and bring God's judgment.

Thanksgiving, the Big Family Bash, is coming soon, but is there genuine thanksgiving in our hearts the whole year toward God for all he has given us? We cannot fool him, though we may fool ourselves and other people. If we are not grateful, are we truly Christian? If we are always complaining or telling others what a rough time life has given us, well, are we truly Christian? How can we then go and stuff ourselves with the turkey dinner and all the trimmings and pretend we are thanking God for it in a dinner prayer when the rest of the year we are grousing about the dirty deal life has given us? What about others who truly are having a rough time? All we have to do is look around a little. There are people without any use of their bodies except maybe their head from the neck, who could complain what a rough break they had, but they don't, because they are too busy living triumphant Christian lives, blessing thousands and even millions of people with their love and thrilling examples. Somebody said, "If life hands you a lemon, make lemonade!" That particularly holds true for anyone whose sins have been washed away eternally by the shed blood of a Savior who died on the Cross for them!

There is a power in blessing:

"Power of the Blessing"

The Ten Commandments that God gave mankind to preserve mankind's well-being and happiness could have spared America from destruction, if we had obeyed them. Will we repent, obey them, and teach them? Our nation's continued survival depends on it. But we are not even coming close to turning around and truly, sincerely repenting, or are we? Despite some evangelists and pastors claiming we are, I don't see it. We would see it for sure if it were happening, wouldn't we? There would be no doubt about it. The secular, pagan culture would be all talking about it too, since they would be in awe of it, even if they did not want to acknowledge that God was truly behind it.

"Requirements for Certificate"

The Emmaus Walk Certificate of Excellence


Zola Levitt Ministries offers 12 courses in the Institute of Jewish-Christian Studies. These courses are all excellent, since Zola Levitt was no small authority on the Bible and Jewish studies (and he enlisted a number of experts and authorities in Bible scholarship as well), so you may want to do most of them, or all, but the course, "Messianic Prophecy," is one in particular that you might want to do in order to satisfy an elective requirement in the Emmaus Walk. ZLM will charge you $49 for this one course, or something close to that amount. You can find out about this Institute by going to ZLM:

"Messianic Christology" is a "must-read" for all Bible students. It will give you information you won't find most everywhere else--and from a Jewish perspective too, which can open windows of insight and illumination that Gentile sources have no access to, unless by quoting Jewish sources.

Read and do a review of this absolutely terrific book, and you have your Christology requirement for the Emmaus Walk degree certificate half taken care of. I cannot draw from it here, as it is copyrighted, but the material is excellent, and the appendices are also wonderful, every word of them, so don't stop reading when you come to them!--Founder of Emmaus Walk

RECOMMENDED CHRISTIAN BOOKS LIST:

Christians do not read books, they watch movies and TV and get fat and high blood pressure doing it. Their kids also fare the same, following their parents bad examples. That is precisely why American is a basket case, teetering on the edge of the abyss, and Christianity is not much better. Get back to the book, the Bible, first and foremost, but don't neglect godly books either. We can also read for recreation too, but be careful there--Oprah's demons are waiting in that category to seduce and snatch away your soul into the New Age Religion that sprays urine on the Cross of Jesus Christ and says you are a god and don't sin and can do whatever you please, as long as you want, with whomever you want, and how you want.

Here is a book that is truly godly, but so readable you will have no trouble with the themes in it. It defines the sources of the Pentecostal movement, so concisely, you don't have to wade through hundreds of pages to learn what you need to know. It describes each of the three Great Awakenings in America, after giving the groundwork in Europe for them in the Pietism movement and the Reformation. Also, most importantly, it defines the Apostolic grounded Church of Jesus Christ. I never learned so much so fast about all these vital things about the Church as I did in this one book. I am not overstating it. Do what you have to do, get ahold of a copy. It may not be in print. I will give an excerpt, that is the best I can do. It is David A. Womack's "The Wellspring of the Pentecostal Movement," Gospel Publishing House, Springfield, Missouri.

:

Imagine a story about one of the most horrendous massacres and genocides in history, and yet the message is forgiveness and reconciliation. This is it. Pearl is a little Armenian Christian girl who witnesses the massacre of Christian Armenians in eastern Turkish, ordered by Sultan Abdul Hamid, the Ottoman Turkish ruler of the country. They had done nothing to deserve this, being law-abiding people living in their own ancestral homeland in the shadow of Mt. Ararat. Their people had been the oldest Christian nation in the east, converted in the 4th century, though the Gospel had been brought by apostles in the lst century, who suffered martyrdom for it. Once Christian, serving Christ instead of their former pagan idols, however, the Armenians could never be forced to give up their faith, even at the point of a Moslem sword. Conquered by the Moslems, they continued in their faith after they had to accept the lot of heavily taxed non-Moslem subjects of the imperial sultan in Constantinople. Lovers of family and their church, they continued their way of life in an often hostile society of Moslems. But this they endured. Only the massacres and genocides forced them to flee if they could to foreign lands for a new life. Pearl was one girl who was sent to America, with great difficulty, when she turned fifteen. She was to be the bride of an Armenian young man in Kansas City, Missouri, who paid for her fare, so that he could marry an Armenian girl. It took great faith and sacrifice on the part of her parents and extended family, and it was heart-breaking for her to wrench herself away from all she had known and loved for all the uncertainty of going to meet and marry a young man she had never met, except for a picture of him. This exciting story tells about the infamous Turkish massacres and forced starvation and death by exposure in the Syrian desert of a million or more Armenian Christian in 1895 and in the years afterwards--but it also is a love story that enfolds bit by bit and finally blossoms in Kansas City, the city of new birth for this beautiful young "Pearl" of Armenia.

Written by Donita Dyer, who is a highly accomplished writer, it is so gripping I read it in two sittings alone. Tyndale House Publishers had it out in 1977, and the lady who is the Pearl in the story longed to see it published but never lived to see it (though she lived into her eighties). Without question, this book deserves to be read and spread across the country. It really ought to be made into a film. Any film producers out there reading this? Here is a great story for you!

This book by Yacov Rambsel tells about the amazing Bible Codes, but we are featuring the even more amazing Chapter 53 of Isaiah, which is the forbidden chapter that most rabbis will not touch! They will not read it to their Jewish congregations in the synagogues, because it portrays the Suffering Servant who can only be one Person, namely, Jesus Christ. Please go to the excerpt concerning this stupendous, unmistakable portrait of the coming (but already come) Suffering Servant-Messiah:

"The Joseph Company," from "Revival on Broadway," by David Wilkerson, Pastor of Times Square Church, New York City

Know that what the world gives you, it will take away. And what the world takes away, God can return to you with interest--if you are the Lord's and in his service, like Joseph was. Nearly losing his life to begin with, he lost everything else, family, position, freedom, future as a patriarch's favorite son, even his clothes right down to stark nakedness on an auction block in a slave market, yet God returned it all to him, with compound interest! So why live for the world and its goodies--you will surely lose them all eventually. But if you live for God, whatever you don't get from this stinking, old world, you will certainly be rewarded with in heaven, forever! And no one will ever take away what God has given--He will see to that!

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. If you had those things in the natural, you wouldn't need much else, right? Think what it would mean in the spiritual! 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).

The single most powerful thing in the world! Even this bit, like the power hidden in the tiny, invisible atom, can change the whole world! Come to think of it, scientists and the mass of human beings already believe in things they cannot see--such as atoms. They already have faith, do they not? They cross bridges over big, deep rivers and gorges without knowing for sure the bridges won't collapse under them and send them into the river or the gorge, do they not? They get into cars and drive them, not knowing whether the cars' steering mechanisms will not malfunction and throw them into the oncoming lane's traffic, do they not? If someone had a bad day on the assembly line while working on their particular car's steering, they won't know it maybe until the impact with a highway overpass support or pillar, right? They get married, not knowing whether it is going to work out or not, or whether the mate will love them after the knot is tied and some years later some wrinkles or gray hairs or excess poundage appears, do they not? People must exercise faith all the time, or they simply could not function, they could not live. But faith in God--here they draw the line and dare the Almighty to cross? Faith in an invisible, almighty God and Creator? Ahem! They come up with all sorts of questions and objections and problems with that idea. Why? It isn't that they don't have proof enough from the visible world that God exists in all his power and majesty--why no! There is more than enough proof to convince anyone. Rather, they question and hem and haw because they simply don't want to turn over their lives to this Almighty Creator God and live responsibly according to His declared laws, thus choosing to serve their own whims and passions and desires without any godly restraint to reckon with. The Word of God describes and introduces us to God in his fulness, so when secularists deny that, they deny both the proofs of the natural universe and then the Word of God, which comes forth to them and was written by the Spirit of the Living God, Co-Creator of everything. It is a double denial of proofs and reasons that are more than sufficient. It isn't that they do not have faith enough, they have plenty faith in order to get around in society and function as a normal human being, but the reason for their unbelief is simply rebellion, the natural man's rejection of a Power higher than himself who has every right to claim man's surrender and obedience to His will above theirs. Yet God, despite his sovereign right as Creator of the Universe and everything in it, does not force obedience and surrender, though he certainly could. He could reduce everyone of us to lockstep robots in a second or less than a second. But rather he seeks love and willing obedience, for our own good. He does not need us, we need Him. He loves us so, he does not want us to destroy ourselves with rebellion and autonomy and disobedience. His Word is still calling. How about you? Take the Bible, big or small as this one, but take it. It is your life's best blueprint and an absolutely faithful guide to heavenly glories, heavenly happiness here on earth and thereafter, and a fulfilled life here and in heaven. If you have settled for anything less, friend, you are on your own, and I pity you with all my heart. There is really no help for you then. God deals with the proud from afar, the scripture says, and that is not a good position to be in--afar from God. I know, I tried it, and I was terribly burned, and only began to heal the moment I ran back toward a merciful, forgiving, loving God.--Ed.

Whatever happened to Saddam Hussein, the big bully in the Middle East who threatened to wipe out Israel, or at least 3/4ths with missiles capped with chemical warheads. Forgotten already? Or is he just useful to the liberals of America, who like to paint him now in rosy colors as a victim of George Bush? We ought to remember him though--he killed too many people to be swept under the rug. How many? He killed his first victim at age 14. He continued killing, until he had slaughtered a million and possibly more Iranians, not to mention hundreds of thousands of his own Iraqi people, torturing many too, including children. We will never know the full tally, but God knows. Saddam will have to answer for every soul on Judgment Day.

"Fitna" is the stunning film by Geert Wilders, the Dutch patriot and parliamentarian, who is standing against the takeover of Holland by Islamicists who are aiming to stamp out all freedom and democracy and women's rights and Christian faith there. Go to his page and click on "Fitna the Movie", the second item from the top, on the right. If you are too warm where you are today, this will chill your blood as you see actual footage taken by the Jehadists themselves. These horrors depicted are not atrocities from the Nazi past, or just things happening in the Middle East, they are happening right now, in the streets of our own cities, here in America and in Europe.

Who is the greatest danger to Muslims in the world today? The answer is clear, and history bears it out: fellow Muslims are the greatest danger to Muslims! Are the Muslims oppressed by the infidel, the Jew, and the Christian? No, the fact is they are not. Hoping to pacify the Muslims, West is bending down shamelessly to accommodate all the demands of riotous Muslims in their midst. The West cannot do enough for them, even though they are suffering the loss and erosion of their own freedoms and nations to do so. They are paying for peace with the Muslims at any price, so it is not the West that is oppressing the Muslims today.

It is equally true that Muslims oppress Muslims, and Arabs oppress fellow Arabs. Christians do not do this, as God commands love for one another, even for our enemies. If our enemies are Muslims, we still must love and bless them, not curse and kill them. War by them waged against us is another matter, we must defend our homes and our nation if attacked or threatened with a preemptive strike or a terrorist attack such as Muslim terrorists inflicted on us on 9/11. But enemies we love, Muslim or anyone else, and pray also that they will come to now Yeshua too as their Lord and Savior and Healer. But going back to the original question, who is oppressing whom? We all know that Muslims are their own worst enemies, right from the inception of Islam with the bloody, sword-wielding Mohammed. He killed many thousands, perhaps tens of thousands of Muslims, not to mention Jews and Christians, on his way to absolute, dictatorial domination of the Arabian peninsula. His followers continued killing Muslims thereafter, not just infidels. Muslims have always been prime Muslim targets. This is so tragic. More Muslims have been killed by Muslims than by any infidel in the West you can name. The Crusaders in all their wars and campaigns did not even come close to killing as many when they tried wrongly to subjugate the Holy Land with the sword, killing both Muslims and many Jews too in the process. We do not condone what the Crusaders did, even though the Holy Land had been Christian, not Muslim, for six centuries before Mohammed was born. We also cannot condone what Muslims do to Muslims.

Come to Yeshua, all Muslims of the world! Yeshua, the only begotten Son of God will never send his followers to persecute and kill you, nor mistreat you in any way! But you cannot ask that of your fellow Muslims, can you? You know perfectly well what they want to do to you if you step out of line, or you are Shiite and your neighbors are Sunni, or you are Druze or any other sect of Islam. You know how Muslims treat Muslims, how shamefully and brutally, without any mercy whatsoever, blowing up mosques full of people and stores and shops and schools and government buildings. This bloodshed was never condoned by Yeshua, but it was condoned by the Muslim leaders, whoever they were, down through the centuries since Mohammed. Is this not true? It is still being condoned by hundreds of imans and ayatollahs and clerics and Muslim leaders of every kind. Use bloodshed, terror, and killing, and rape against those Muslims over there! That is what the Muslim people are told all over the world, on every continent now. This is preached in America too, in the mosques, in defiance of the U.S. Constitution protecting freedom of religion, speech, and conscience. It is Muslim against Muslim, every brother against his brother, just as the scriptures said would characterize Ishmael and his descendants. The Bible is true, for it prophesied this fratricidal war of the Muslim brothers. It has gone on since the 7th century, full blast. It will continue until Yeshua comes, to bring righteousness, truth, love, and peace for a thousand years on this earth. Will you be His, or will you continue to be the prey of Muslim brothers, who will show you no mercy or love? It is your choice, Muslim friend! Wouldn't you rather have Christian brothers you can trust not to do you harm, who will love and nurture and protect you and forgive you your offenses, rather than Muslim brothers who will turn on you with no mercy or love or kindness if you offend them in the least?

There is the old story in the folklore of Greece that has to be Middle Eastern too, it is so old, and it speaks of misplaced trust. A man came to a river and was going to ford it, but a snake called to him. "Please carry me over with you, kind sir," the snake said. "But you will bite me, if I pick you up," the man said. "Oh, no, I won't, please carry me over the river." The man picked the snake up and carried the snake safely to the other side, and then the snake bit him. "You said you wouldn't bite me!" the man cried. "But you knew I was a snake," said the snake as it slithered away.

Chew on this little fact, Muslim friend who thinks Israel has to give up yet more "land for peace," and see if it will be sweet or bitter. Have we ever seen people more vexed than Muslims on this old earth? Where is their peace and tranquility, if what they have is the House of Islam? Why is it full of blood, mayhem, and every evil thing? Why are Muslims spreading blood, mayhem, and every evil thing across the face of the globe. Muslims, you have to be very insecure and unhappy people at heart. You should be the happiest people on earth, after being blessed as much as you claim to be by a so-called "religion of peace and tolerance." People should be flocking to Islam, not being forced as they are now and have been for centuries. You don't have to use the sword or coercion to get converts if you truly have something worth having. But you know perfectly well you don't have something worth having, so you, for your own gain, force it on others, so you can rob them of their goods. God blessed you with most of the oil on this planet, but that is not enough. You must go and seize other countries' lands, even the ones without oil, in order to take their possessions and then rule over them, with you riding them as top dog. That is nothing but cold-blooded aggression, not the expansion of a heavenly kingdom on earth. A hellish kingdom expands by the point of a sword and reduces the people you conquer to poverty and slavery. Vexed you are, because you can never be satisfied by what you were richly given. Vexed you shall remain, for you will never have enough, until you have devoured the whole earth and made it a wilderness and a howling waste like most of Arabia and most of the Middle East. It could blossom as the rose, even as the Jews have done to the land God gave them back in 1948, but you would take even that bit of paradise and return it to desolation and ruin, the state of it all those centuries you controlled it. You dessicate the earth, waste the earth, you do not water and and till it and make it green and fruitful. Heaven looks down on you, the angels of God, and God Almighty look down on you, and grieve, that you should be so wayward and senseless and like the beasts. You are really your own worst enemies:

"That Vexed Inheritance"

Did you ever entertain a sneaking sympathy for Esau for losing his birthright by rather underhand means, planned by his mother and twin brother? That family dispute is still alive and kicking, but if Esau could see his descendants today he would be well satisfied with God's provision. The 21 Arab nations occupy 5 million square miles of territory and its rulers are rich and prosperous. Isn't it curious that the Arabs who name themselves Palestinians (though we have no history of their nation in the past) are still demanding more land--out of the 10 thousand square miles the Jews still have left!"--Katherine Lawrence-Smith, late editor and founder, The Anchored Magazine, Worcester, England

"The Movie Fitna"

"America is a place of heroes, honor, achievement, and respect. But it is also a place where heroism is often confused with celebrity, honor with fame, true achievement with popularity, individual respect with political correctness. Our culture celebrates self-gratification, the crossing of all moral boundaries, and now even the breaking of social taboos.

"Despite our wonders and greatness, we are a nation that has experienced so much social regression, so much decadence, in so short a period of time, that we have become a place to which civilized nations used to send missionaries."--William J. Bennett, Former Secretary of Education under President Reagan.

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

Listen up, Admiral Mike Mullen! All your medals, high position, and the grand reputation can't cover the fact you are a sneaking moral coward. This first chief General of the Revolutionary Army and President of the United States dared to pray in the name of Jesus Christ, a practice he started, but which the U.S. military has denied its own chaplains! You ought to be ashamed, hiding behind your military regulations the fact that you have no moral spine or stomach for the truth and even the highest traditions of the U.S. military as they were instituted by George Washington! It is leaders like you who are tearing down our military, bit by bit, and you have no justification whatsoever. What will you say to Jesus Christ, our Commander-in-Chief in heaven, when he asks why you did not stand up for Him?

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

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

Hey, you! Yes, you! You're scrolling down this page, and just passed the Prayer Section and Billy Graham's urgent call to you to pray, and have you prayed one minute today for anything God cares about? Why not? You are not a Christian if you will not pray. Christians pray! Prayer is the definition of a Christian. Prayerless Christians are just fooling themselves--they are going to be Devil's tools, not servants of the Lord. Prayer is the breath of a living Christian. Without prayer, you are not breathing, friend. You just look like you are alive.

Women's Center:

Real women love God and want to serve him. The rest are self-loving, self-centered pukes (that goes just as much for men too!) It takes God to make a real woman, and He created Eve, by the way, whom Adam found to be the perfect woman for him to love and cherish. She was MAGNIFICENT WOMANHOOD! She was the greatest woman ever living, until the Fall. Then she plummets off her queenly throne into sinnerhood, which really dragged down her womanhood in every way. Without godliness, living in sin or subject to your own carnal desires, you are less than a woman as God created you to be. Without a spirit of servanthood, you are also less than what your divine design entails. Read about the young Finnish girl who early on discovered the way to become a real woman and a woman of God as well. She never married a man, but she married The Man, Christ, and served him with all her heart, mind, and strength.

A modern version of Joan of Arc has to be Sally Kern, Representative in the Oklahoma Legislature. She has just now led in issuing Oklahoma's centennial proclamation that should spin more than a few talking heads in Washington and give burning cheeks and ears to many of those radical secularists and socialists in the White House and Congress. At last patriotism, traditional morality, Biblical foundations, love of family, love of Jesus Christ, have a spokeswoman who stands courageously and without compromise on the things that made America great. It is a "Proclamation Calling for National Repentance and Spiritual Renewal," and we found it in the November-December issue of Lamplighter Magazine. I want to give you the entire proclamation, so please return for it when it comes on-line. You will be astounded by what you find it proclaiming. I could not believe what I was reading, it was so truthful and uncompromising and so completely in the spirit of the best of what it means to be America, the land of the free and the home of the brave. It makes you want to stand with her, and thank God for her, and other such leaders we still may have in state governments. If there is one, could there be another like her somewhere? God has his people everywhere, even in the darkest times, such as these are. She gives me hope, though the nation seems to be bent on self-destruction right now. God cannot help take notice of this proclamation, for it comes from truly sincere, humble hearts crying out to him in repentance and great need for a nation and a people who have gone badly astray.

Women are standing up for what is righteous in America, if the men aren't! An American Indian Chief, Annie Richardson, representing the Native Indians from Virginia, made a statement to National Infrastructure Minister oif Israel, Uzi Landau, at a recent meeting of the two: "We believe that God has give you this land and we want you to fight for it." She presented him with a traditional Native American headdress and a bow and arrow, as a "token of the affection of the Native American nations for Israel." And we know that God will also bless all those who take a courageous stand for righteousness in a society given to perversity and falsehood and also hatred of Israel and the Jews.

Native Americans can recognize Native Jews of Israel when they see them, and they say so! God bless Chief Annie Richardson and all the tribes she represents so ably! God's Word says that whoever blesses Israel will be blessed by him!

If you think that Relativism doesn't affect your life drastically, think again! Look around, for it is shaping your world, your family, your very life, for evil, not good. Relativism is a philosophy that is used aggressively by activist liberals to destroy Judaeo-Christian values and morals in the public sphere, in education and government primarily, which then become an amoral no-man's land where anything goes.

How does Relativism, the prevailing anti-Christian philosophy that generates Political Correctness in our society and squelches intelligent debate about the issues, operate and how can we as Christians combat it as it wars against the unborn? Kim Triller, a director of a Crisis Pregnancy Center (now part of the CareNet association), dissects Relativism as a philosphy and exposes its inherent contradictions and fallacies. When you get through her analysis of relativism, you will never be impressed by it again. It contradicts itself from the start, and no relativist ever lived as one either. Nobody ever could! So you can be sure that every self-proclaimed relativist is a hypocrite and a fraud since they choose to live another way than the one they are championing to the ignorant and impressionable younger generation.

By this time, Obama's behavior has shown the whole world that he cares nothing about what Dr. Jones expressed to him in his letter. Yet the letter will be used to hold this president accountable in the Judgment. He cannot say he was not invited to weigh in on the side of God's righteousness, but he chose his leftist agenda, with all its immorality and defiance of God and morality and whatever is righteous. Dr. Ron Jones's "Open Letter to President Barak Obama" will put you on the edge of your chair with its great compelling case for the sanctity of life created in the image of God that is utterly rejected by abortion policies espoused by Obama in his campaign and voted for in his legislative votes in Illinois.

What about a "Bestiality Pride Month" or a "Prostitution Pride Month"? Mr. President, you are inviting the wrath of God to fall on your Administration.

TRACT CENTER:

Bank on earthly things, and the earthly bank will fail (we see bank failures by the score almost daily, and people's livings go up in smoke, or less than smoke, just vanished electronic digits gone forever that once signified thousands in real money. Why not bank on something that is solid, that cannot be wiped out or erased by economic downturns or a Wall Street collapse? This is better than gold. Earthly gold is in fact fool's gold, for you cannot take it with you, and while you are here, somebody is always just around the corner eyeing you and wanting to rob and steal you of it, right? So you always have to be on guard, and you worry, and what you fear, the Bible says, will come upon you. So put your investment into eternity, in heavenly stocks and bonds, in the true treasure that is everlasting, the riches of Christ that you are heir to once you become a true son or daughter of God.

I've issued the Heavenly Bank's invitation to walk through the doors, so go through them and get yours without delay! Here is what the Bank of Christ Card is all about:

On one side it says, "Good for Eternity", and the Greek letters signifying "Jesus Christ Son of God, Savior," that the early Church used along with the sign of the fish to identify themselves as Christians in a hostile, pagan (now pagan and secularist) society.

On the reverse side of the card is printed:

How to Bank on Christ

Step 1. Acknowledge Man's Problem

All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. Romans 3:23

The wages of sin is death (separation from God). Romans 6:23

If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us. I John 1:8

Step 2. Accept God's Only Remedy

I am the Way, the truth and the life, no one comes to the Father except through Me. Jesus Christ. John 14:6

Christ gave himself to God for our sins as one sacrifice. Hebrews 10:12

Whoever believes in Him (Jesus) shall not perish, but have everlasting life. Jesus Christ. John 3:16

If we confess our sins...Jesus will forgive us. I John 1:9

By grace you have been saved, through faith--it is the gift of God, not by works. Ephesians 2: 8,9

Step 3. Bank on Christ

I stand at the door and knock. If any man hears my voice, and opens the door, I will come in. Jesus Christ. Revelations 3:20

Pray: Lord Jesus, I am a sinner and want to turn from my sins. Thank you for forgiving my sins. I open the door of my life and invite you to take charge of my life as my Lord and Savior.

Ed's Christian Gifts, 10251 E. Hacienda Blvd., Bellflower, CA 90706

Who says a pumpkin can't be a soul winner? My brother is a street preacher of many years and he once distributed pumpkin tracts like this one to young people hanging around in the streets of Tacoma, and they were intrigued and followed him right into the church, where the preacher was right then welcomed them in and then invited them to be saved and give their hearts and lives to Jesus Christ. They did! The whole group of young people got saved, something like twenty of them who followed my brother the street evangelist into the church, where normally they would not have been caught dead.

This pumpkin maze is meant to be played. Then you turn it open, and you find this written:

By now you've found out that there is only one way to get through the pumpkin maze start to finish! Did you know that getting to heaven is a lot like getting through that maze? Just as there is only one way to get to the finish, the Bible says there is only one way to get to heaven. Jesus said, " I am the Way, the Truth and the Life. No one comes to the Father but through Me." John 14:6.

But many boys and girls are on a "dead end" route. All of us started out life on the wrong road. "All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." Romans 3:23

Here is how God made it possible for you to get on the right road that leads to heaven. "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whoevever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life" (that lasts forever). John 3:16

Jesus Christ, God's Son took the punishment for all the disobedient things you have ever done (these things are called sins). "Christ died for our sins, he was buried, and was raised to life on the third day, as written in the Scriptures." I Corinthians 15:4

To get on the only road to heaven, you must believe that Jesus died for you. And when you truly believe, Jesus promises you will have a home forever with him in heaven. "There are many rooms in my Father's house, and I am going to prepare a place for you." John 14:2

You may want to pray this prayer: "Dear God, I know I am a sinner. I believe Jesus died for me. I am trusting him to forgive my sins and to give me eternal life." Write and tell us what you decided. We'd like to hear from you. --Douglas Salser, American Tract Society, P.O. Box 402008, Garland, TX 75040. And don't forget to ask for the Solution to the Maze, since you have already found the solution to your sin and lost condition in Jesus Christ!

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

Carbon Emissions and the "Cap and Trade" agenda of the Left are only the ruse used to take control over every part of our nation and all our private lives and livelihoods and bring in Big Brother and his police state to dictate to us exactly how we should live, while taxing us to death to support Big Government and its enormous security appartatus needed to keep us slaves in firm control. It is a ruse, it is not a real thing. So don't worry about the environment so much, and by no means fear the end of the world due to carbon emissions! No matter how many scientists hop on the bandwagon to save their jobs and government grants, it won't happen that way, we know, because the Bible tells us so. The recycling of the earth will occur, true, but by God's fire, not by man's. The ignorant secularist governments we have now drive their agendas through fear induced in the masses of ignorant people who are voting them into office year after year. They are the blind leading the blind into a ditch. The ditch happens to be, not the ecological melt-down of the earth through Global Warming or "Climate Change" through carbon emissions, but secularist dictatorship, which will usher in the Anti-Christ's world government.

Why then support any business or government that supports this absurd "save the Planet" agenda and the hyped up hysteria that goes along with it? Throw your plastics and cardboard away without guilt! Do it! You will feel a wonderful release from the satanic world system that is behind the environment and ecological movements. Don't buy hybrid or "green" or anything approaching ethanol (which starves people in all impoverished countries to feed our gas tanks). You and I really need to be free of the satanic systems that are encircling the world like constricting pythons. The very people who are tied in most to the environmental and ecological "green" movements to "save the Planet" will fall into the arms of the Anti-Christ. He will champion himself as the Savior of the Planet, someone they will have conditioned themselves into receiving and, a mere three years after his coming to power, worshipping him as God.

GLOBAL WARMING HOAX CENTER:

From the Lamplighter Magazine:

Did you know there exists at least one leader in the West who is not the product of Leftist authoritarian spin, who actually tells the truth as it is, and doesn't try to pull it over on the people? This man is someone you have probably never before heard about. He is the democratically-elected leader of a former Soviet slave state in Eastern Europe, and he is trying to warn us in America and the West while being pilloried in the liberal media for telling the plain truth:

"Today's global warming activists are the direct descendants of the old Marxists who trampled on individual freedoms and undermined free markets in pursuit of a greater good...Global warming is a religion conceived to suppress human freedom because it is used to justify an enormous scope for government intervention vis-a-vis the markets and personal freedom--Vaclav Klaus, President of the Czech Republic (was part of the old Czechoslovakia).

This honest man (compare him to Gordon Brown or Tony Blair of Britain!) is despised by the secularist leaders of Germany and France and Belgium and the other members of "EUTOPIA," but he is telling the whole truth. Global Warming is nothing but the biggest scam on the face of the earth! History will vindicate him. The others will be known forever as liars, deceivers and thieves.

Creationism Center:

Dr. Whitcomb's lectures at a four-day Prophecy Conference was an unforgettable experience for me. I eagerly read his books too, and the "Genesis Flood" is perhaps his magnum opus, a blockbuster that first drove a wedge in the solid wall of Darwinism that had been erected coast to coast in schools and universities by the thousands. Since it came out, the book has been joined by others, and the wall is crumbling and showing clear signs of toppling and smashing to bits, taking the Theory of Evolution into the dustbin reserved for other such failed, unscientific, non-biblical, cockininny theories. Dr. Whitcomb has written about the impact of the book and we offer it to you here, in the hopes you will go to the Institute for Creation Research and order one or more of his books. You may need to exercise your gray matter a bit, but it will be worth it to you.

Trinity Broadcasting Network has just now aired the movie, Pendragon. Pendragon is the British hero that fought the invading Saxons, and a film by the Burns Family is available for family consumption. It is an exciting tale, well-acted, and believable in the lush, green setting of the English and Welsh forests, hills and countryside. This film proves that creativity and vision do not need the big film studios' production sets and financing to produce real jems.

Pendragon, the Movie

Anyone who knows English literature has to tell you that Blake is a singularity, a unique person, one of a kind with the mold thrown away. If the rest of English literature were all burned up somehow in a nuclear blast, if his poetry and visions and engravings survived, that would be more than enough to testify of the glorious heights of the English in the realm of poetry and art and prophetic vision. He could write so simply, almost like what you find in a nursery rhyme, but it was a prophet speaking the most profound and wonderful and awesome things in simple, childlike language and imagery. What a gift that was! It isn't just a gift, though, it is genius and prophecy combined, like fire combines with whatever it is burning. You don't find such things ordinarily, they come together in one poet once or maybe twice in a thousand years. Read this following "poem," and if God gave you his image and a mind to use along with it, and a spirit too to infuse your carnal clay with a glimmer of the glorious light and life of heavenly realms, then you will get what I am speaking about. Otherwise, you will slither off into the mud of ignorance and darkness with the other slithering lizards, untouched, unchallenged, unmoved.

Poem by William Blake

And did those feet in ancient time

Walk upon England's mountains green?

And was the holy Lamb of God

On England's pleasant pastures seen?

And did the Countenance Divine

Shine forth upon our clouded hills?

And was Jerusalem builded here,

Among those dark Satanic mills?

Bring me my Bow of burning gold,

Bring me my Arrows of desire,

Bring me my Spear, O clouds unfold!

Bring me my Chariot of fire!

I will not cease from Mental Fight,

Nor shall my Sword sleep in my hand,

Till we have built Jerusalem

In England's green & pleasant land.

End Note: That was just the best Christian message ever preached in England, with far fewer words too! But it is more: a clarion, trumpet call to you, to me, to every Christian who has been redeemed by the Blood of Christ the Victor, to arms, to take a stand, to bear the Gospel to this generation, to this perishing world.--Ed.

This Reality Crash Course is offered all dictators and authoritarian leaders in the East and West, in America, South and North, in Europe, in Africa, in Asia. The crash course is this small but immortal play, Julius Caesar by William Shakespeare. Wannabe world rulers and Caesars, beware! Listen up, U.S. Congress and Democrat Party leaders, and Chavez, Castro, China's communist leaders, Iran's mullahs, Europe's secularist leaders, Africa's dictators, and all other oppressors. The people may follow you like a mindless herd of cattle, but not everyone will--and so you have to always maintain huge amounts of security round your sacred person lest someone, sometime and somewhere, takes a pot shot at you! You are an oppressor of the people, and your wages of oppression are fear and insecurity and possible assassination sooner or later. How different is the real world ruler, Jesus Christ, who will rule with absolute justice and wisdom over the entire earth and nobody will be allowed to defy him, since the mere breath of his mouth will be enough to slay them. He has nothing to worr-r-r-ry about, compared to you! You have to have armed guards day and night, thousands of FBI and CIA, all armed to the teeth, to protect your wretched hides, but it will never be enough. President Obama took 3,000 C.I.A. operatives with him to the Cairo conference--as if that could save him, when God says a man's time is up! Mere flesh and blood, you dictators and autocratic senators and representatives are still vulnerable, just as every dictator before you has discovered in the day of his calamity, which is surely coming one of these days for you too. As Alexander the Great discovered, the man who had conquered the civilized world, a mosquito was mightier and slew him with one little bite! In like manner, a little bug or a virus can be God's means to reach you, he doesn't need an army or an assassin with a rifle or a bomb, he can use something not even visible to human eyes and kill you just as surely as a bomb or a bullet.

"When God Departs--Is God Leaving America?" by David Wilkerson, 11-18-1991

Another wonderful issue of this great magazine. Do you really want the truth about the really important issues. Get it!

Am I mistaken, or am I right, that such magazines as these are getting better and better with each issue, and they started terrific. How can that be improved upon, yet it seems to be improving with each issue. See for yourself. It is $25 a year, but partners in Dr. Reagan's Lamb and Lion Ministry get it free. You can't go wrong. What else can you spend 25 bucks on that will do you so much good in the spirit? Precious little compares with the value, and two movie tickets will cost you that, and you can't go to a ball game that is anything for that much either. Put your money where it can best work for God's kingdom, and you will be richly blessed. This ministry is one of those that truly does a great service to Christians and to the unsaved as well, to bring in the kingdom of God in all its fulness into our lives. I am not selling anything, for I cannot sell anything, but I can point the way to a treasure once I know of one, and this is surely a treasure.

This particularly exciting issue has an article about a champion for Christ I never heard about until now, which shows that I don't know much that is going on in the world of Islam. Perhaps, you don't either, so it is time to learn something very important. Here is a guest editorial by Joel Rosenberg, author of EPICENTER and other novels of Bible prophecy, entitled, "An Amazing Evangelist to the Muslim World." Who is that amazing evangelist? He isn't likely to be an evangelist, to many of us, but he is. He is Father Zakaria Botros, a Copt, the name for an original Egyptian and a Christian. The Copts are the original indigenous people of Egypt, the same people that founded Egypt in the most ancient times. They are not Arabs, they are Hamitic people, who later accepted Christ when the Gospel reached there from Israel in time of the 1st century church. They never gave up Christ, even after the Moslems overwhelmed the country in the 7th-8th century with the armies of the bloody, militant Mohammed.

There are four issues a year, and they are great, with spiritually encouraging stories, humor, games and puzzles, poetry, and illustrations, all helping the weary, footsore Pilgrim take heart and make it the rest of the way to the yonder glorious Celestial City of the Lord.

My dear Christian friend of 27 years, Kathleen Lawrence-Smith, editor of the Anchored Magazine for 38 years, passed to glory August 19, 2009. She completed this issue, and it just now reached me. It was her aim to complete this issue, and she did with Christ's strength. She was in her early nineties, fighting a daily, courageous battle with various handicaps of the aging process, but now she is experiencing the joys and vigor of a heavenly existence. I am sorry you never knew her, but she was one of those the Bible call the Elect, one with "immense spirit" of grace and wisdom and mercy, a godly saint who could have lived a comfortable, selfish existence like the majority of fellow, God-forsaking Britons today but put herself as the advocate on the side of the perplexed, the rejected, the bruised, the lonely, the failure, even the condemned to prison for a crime of some kind. We desperately need more such. Heaven is much the richer for her appearance there. And I, on this wicked old earth, feel much the poorer, only I know she left an extremely rich legacy in my life, composed of Biblical values and truths and insights and wisdom and a more merciful point of view toward the erring and the downtrodden. I really can't put what I feel into words, so I will not try any further than this: God received glory from her through her entire life. What more could he ask? She was faithful to him, while remaining humble. What a sterling life! If you ever wonder about Christianity, Kathleen Lawrence-Smith of Worcester, England, was a true Christian that nobody needed to cover for, or be ashamed about. She consistently "walked the talk" indeed, but, what is rare, without the slightest suggestion that she once knew it.

Record Magazine of the American Bible Society has accounts this issue of true heroes and heroines of the Christian faith. Debbie Midkiff is one of them, who witnesses for Jesus and distributes food, water, and shelter to prostitutes in Logan County in Apppalacia, one of the poorest areas. She gets beer bottles and pop bottles thrown at her, and also gunshots and her headlights knocked out with baseball bats,--but she is fearless and won't quit bringing the Word of God and mercy to those who need it most. Read her story, along with some others that are true "Points of Light" in a very dark, despairing region (where no doubt the darkness is mostly a satanic stronghold and is not so much economic as spiritually entrenched). Once the demonic strongholds are broken and cast out, the people can rebuild the area economically, but not until then, though the government has poured a trillion dollars so far down the rathole of the "War on Poverty" in America.

This issue of Levitt Letter carries the stunning lead article, "A Muslim Observes a Jewish Land," by Tashbih Sayyed, Ph.D. Dr. Sayyed (1942-2007) was one of the most honest men on the planet, and incredibly brave too. He worked for Radio Pakistan and Pakistan Television before moving to the U.S. in 1981, and tried to warn the West about the dangers of militant Islam. He was the founder and editor-in-chief of weekly newspapers, "Pakistan Today," and "Muslim World Today". On a trip with his wife to Israel to learn the truth about the country, he found that many things said about Israel were false. It is said that Israelis live in a perpetual state of fear. False, Sayyid says. It is said Israel is undemocratic. False, Sayyid says. It is said Muslim Arab citizens of Israel do not have equal rights. Again false, Sayyid says. In fact, the status of Muslim women in Isrel is far above that of any country in the region, he writes. Also, Arabic, like Hebrew, is an official language in Israzel and underlines the tolerant nature of the Jewish state, according to Sayyid. Arabic is taught in Jewish secondary schools, and more than 350,000 Arab children attend Israeli schools, he found. All religious communities--Israeli Arabs--Muslims, as well as many Christian denominations--are free to exercise their faiths, to observe their own weekly day of rest and holidays, and to administer their own internal affairs--he states. Muslim Arabs of the Druze sect join in the IDF, the Israeli Defense Force, freely, as they believe it their duty to support the state where they reside, whereever that state is, and whatever it is. Bedouins also take part in the IDF alongside of Christians who are Israeli citizens. Sayyid also points to the big houses owned by Arab Israelis, belying the charge that Israel discriminates against Israeli Arabs from buying land. Sayyid also asked three Israeli Arabs if they were ever discriminated against in employment. They said the same thing, normally there is no discrimination, but whenever a homicide bomber exploded and murdered Israelis, thee was a very temporary uncomfortable feeling in dealing with some Israelis. Sayyid concludes: "My first visit to Israel not only consolidated my belief that Israel is vital for the stability of the region, but also has convinced me that the existence of Israel will one day convince all Muslims of the necessity to reform their theology as well as sociology. Finally, he observes that "Israelis have proved beyond any doubt why God promised them this land--only they could keep it green!"

The liberal media have increasingly championed Saddam Hussain as a victim of former President Bush, have they not? These Democrats are sorry characters, to say the least. They have completely flip-flopped in regard to him, after getting up at their respective bully pulpits and warning everybody he was a tremendous threat to the U.S. and the stability of the Middle East (ahem, what stability?). This would be laughable, only our nation's security and future is at stake if their viewpoints succeed in fooling the mass of Americans: for now he is portrayed by these Benedict Arnolds as a poor, little, innocent victim, so that they can denounce George Bush and his successful war against a most bloodthirsty tyrant and make it seem a big, big mistake and an example of the misuse of "imperialist" American power by a bad Republican president. What empire, what imperialism? We never had an empire, nor wished to have one. The Middle East would be under our iron boot, if we cared to plant one there, in a matter of weeks, but instead we depose a dictator and set up, not a vassal state or an imperial province, but a democracy that can do as it pleases, regardless of us if it chooses! Is that the way an "empire" acts? Not in the least! Yet these liars all claim now we should not have gone in to make war in Iraq and deposed a "legitimate ruler of a sovereign nation," they say. It is wrong to do so, it is imperialistic aggression, they say, despite the fact that this lawless monster had broken every sanction of the United Nations and was a deadly threat to every country in the Middle East and had also murdered thousands, perhaps hundreds of thousands, of Iraqis. A Retrospect is now badly needed, therefore, lest we buy into the dishonest liberal makeover of Hussain in the media as a Bush victim. The excerpt we have made available again certainly refreshes our memory about what a murderous monster Saddam Hussain was, and what a threat to Israel and the rest of the world he was too, despite all the Leftist press and the liberal elites trying to whitewash him now and paint George Bush black for having defeated and put him permanently out of commission.

"God in Ancient China" by the paperclip-thin Evangelist-Pastor Kong Hee comes in two DVDS, and you can obtain it by going to his website. This message has already been described in our pages, but to recap it: China's written language is based on "characters" rather than "letters" of an alphabet. Characters are pictures of sorts, that represent things and ideas and even whole concepts. Characters mean what they do by putting together a number of signs for things. Looking into the various specific elements or signs in one word after word, such as the characters for man, woman, etc., Kong Hee finds the Genesis story unfolding! At least the main accounts of the Mosaic books of the Bible are preserved in the Chinese character-based language.

Have you ever wondered what it has to do with godliness and evangelism when you see TV studios of Daystar and TBN constantly full of Christians dressed in the most expensive togs, with even pastors and their wives sporting incredible outfits and accessories and hairdos that look straight out of Hollywood or Fifth Avenue, New York salons. What is the grand parade of wealth and affluence and fashion all about? Who are these Christians trying to impress? The audience looks better in many cases than the ministers and speakers on the stage, many of whom come on now in jeans and their dress shirts hanging out over their belts and their hair sticking up in all directions. One outfit, whether of the punk rock scruffy mode or Fifth Avenue, could probably feed and clothe and house a family of ten or twelve in Asia for a year. What is this extravagance doing for God? Nothing. Isn't it only to feed pride and vanity? It is most shameful. That is why I wrote to Joni Lamb on Daystar to quit wearing those super-long designer earrings. She is entitled to wear them in private, though I doubt they would be worn there so much, but in public she has an image of godliness to promote, and the one she promotes is not the best--particularly for young girls and young women who by the millions will emulate her and buy those horribly vulgar but expensive earrings and do their hair like hers and wear clothes they think looks like hers too. Can they afford it? No. Joni can, but she is using the money people donated for Daystar evangelism, not a Hollywood-type wardrobe. If they would use funds they earned from some business of theirs on the side, that would not be objectionable. But I can't believe that Paul, for example, would have run about in a chariot and put on designer togas and flashed expensive Rollex water clocks. [If Mike Murdoch, a dear friend of the Lambs, is reading this, it should be convicting to him too!]. Biblical modesty (and good taste) in Televangelism has been thrown out the window, obviously. When you spend on your stinking pride and vanity, you are stealing from worthy, legitimate needs you should be financing--there is no loose cash floating around in God's kingdom, it has a purpose he has chosen for it, and to divert it into something frivolous is going to catch his eye. The reason is, not that God is stingy, but something worthier than your pride and lust for show will suffer, if you aren't a good steward of the resources God has entrusted. In effect, you are wearing stolen clothes when you bought them just to enhance your carnal image and indulge your lusts.

Are you still parading around in your own tawdry finery, the clothes you have chosen and even stolen for yourself? You may fool other people, but you can't fool God. He knows if they are his clothes or not. If yours, you are on your own! If God's, you are going somewhere meaningful and full of spiritual fruit and blessing. Let this be a turning point for your life! Let your vain philosophies and assumptions be shown up by the Word of God to be baseless, and get your life back on a Biblical basis, as Jacob did when he put off a man's clothes and put on God's clothes!

From RBC MINISTRIES' OUR DAILY BREAD: "It was his belief in life after death that prompted Christian martyr Jim Elliot, who was killed in 1956 by the Auca Indians, to say, "He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep, to gain what he cannot lose."

From Christian radio: Jim's widow, Elizabeth Eliott, wrote the book, Passion and Purity, which is a classic and a "must" for Christians to read, since it deals with remaining pure before marriage and girls letting God bring a mate rather than taking the initiative. And men, they are to initiate, if they are going to be men and not wimps.

"Forgive Me," Message by Stuart Maxwell Hawkins

Laura Waters Hinson was recently interviewed by Clifford Davis on TBN. You should know about her. She is the remarkable film producer who created the "As We Forgive" documentary on the aftermath of the Rwanda genocide (1,000,000 people slain in tribal warfare in 100 days). After experiencing a breakup of circumstances in her life, the Lord led her to another church and to a minister who wanted to take a team to Rwanda to help a Rwanda church, and he told her she needed to go, as he felt this was of the Lord for her to go. She believed him, though initially she rejected the idea of going there. On the scene she was so affected that was led by the Lord to chronicle, not so much the massacres, but the brave Christian men in Rwanda who she heard chose to go into the prisons to minister the love of Jesus to the very ones who had raped and murdered countless people. She heard about such men over there, but couldn't believe it. How could anyone forgive such murderers and then go and minister to them? But Laura found it was true after all. The entire nation in fact was called to reconcile with the murderers, as Rwanda's leader found the nation was so ruined by the civil war it lacked resources to adjudicate the tens of thousands of killers, nor could it detain them in prison, and so they had to be released to go back to their homes in the villages where they had committed their atrocities. There was no other way to deal with them. But wasn't that invited more bloodbaths, as the survivors turned on the killers in revenge? Making a most unusual request, the elected head of the nation called the people to reconcile if they could with the killers. And though some were killed, most were not. The divided nation came together, and the two tribes that had tried to exterminate each other now found forgiveness, and reconciliation. And the economy took off. It is now one of Africa's most prosperous nations. And probably cleanest, too! A miracle has occurred in the scene of the world's most terrible bloodbath (more people died there in a few days than any other time, in any other nation). It is all due to churches working with a good government, a Christian leader calling the people to reconcile, and to the spreading of the love of Jesus and his forgiveness and restoration to the killers in the prisons by special men of God, so that the unprosecuted killers returned to their villages with the love of Jesus in them--which must have been immediately apparent to the people who saw them coming. The released criminals knew they were walking back to certain death, yet they went, throwing themselves on the mercy of people they had formerly hunted like animals--and Christ's love stepped in, sparing them from instant execution by enraged, vengeful relatives of their victims.

"Amazing Grace," The Story of William Wilberforce's Battles and Final Victory over Slavery in Britain

"Amazing Grace," The Story of William Wilberforce's epic struggle and final victory against slavery in the British Empire, a struggle led by this valiant Christian against seemingly unbeatable opponents in the British Parliament which depended largely on payoffs and profits from the highly lucrative slave trade, ought to be in your film library. The parallel with the highly lucrative trade of abortion ought to be glaringly apparent as you watch this great story. Our Congress is just as tied into the profiteering off abortion as the British Parliament was in regard to the slave trade, and if it was seemingly impossible to break Parliament away from the slave trade, so it will be equally difficult to break our own U.S. Congress away from the abortion trade. What difference is there between the two evils? One degrades living human being, selling them as commodities and using them like cattle, while the other devalues human life in the womb completely, while profiteering off its destruction. In both cases, human life is destroyed, either gradually or quickly, but the result is the same.

By the way, what was so terrible about the slave trade of the 18th century when we are doing far worse now than they even imagined back then: destroying tens of millions of unborn babies for profit? The slave traders of the 18th century--British, Arab Muslims, and black tribal Africans--they all profiteered off the kidnapping and enslavement of tens of millions of tribal Africans. That is a black mark indeed in the histories of the Muslim Arabs, the black animist Africans, and the Christian British. But what is worse--to attack and enslave children and adults for profit, or slay totally defenseless human beings in the womb? It is high time for the secularists and liberals to own up to their hyprocrisy, which is so monumental, it is a stench to high heaven no doubt! They defend this genocide of the innocents, but it isn't because of the "reproductive rights" of women, no, it is all based on the huge profits they all reap, from the grisly abortion butcher and his supporting staff in the local Planned Parenthood "clinic", right up to the legislator, almost always a Democrat, in the State Government or in a Congressional seat in the Senate or in the House. They all reap fortunes from the hundreds of billions involved in this killing-unborns-for-profit trade. Slave trading cost maybe ten or fifteen million lives of tribal African blacks, and that is an atrocity in every way. But what we are condoning and doing now is far, far worse. We are worse than slave traders, we are destroying our own human race and our own future as a human species by slaughtering unborns, generation after generation. God will demand an accounting from us for this world-wide genocide. "Reproductive rights" in America's liberal society or "One Child Policy" in China will not hold weight in God's eyes. He commanded, THOU SHALT NOT KILL. But we still kill, for profit, not even for self-defense, which is justifiable. We kill to make a buck, either from the act itself or as a payoff for our vote in the legislature or Congress. The Grim Reaper is coming for us, individually, to pay for these slain innocents. We reaped their lives, but now our lives will be reaped. How will we like it when the Grim Reaper comes with nuclear suitcase bombs and starts detonating them in our cities, in our neighborhoods, in our homes? We will have to pay back the innocent lives we have allowed to be taken for profit--it is just a question of exactly when God will pull back his mantle of mercy and let us receive what justice demands.

REALITY CHECK CENTER:

Here is the best argument for Christmas I have yet seen:

A World Without Christ?

Have you ever seriously reflected on what this world would be today had not Jesus Christ been born into it 2,000 years ago? On what would we reflect without Bethlehem and its swaddling clothes, manger, and straw?

Western civilization owes its existence to Bethlehem and its manger and straw. The fact that the statesmen, the philosophers, and the scientists will not admit it, will not discuss it, proves nothing; most of them won't even admit that God created man.

Two thousand years later the inn is still crowded with people unwilling to welcome the Savior...

When you reflect on what this world would be today without Bethlehem and its God-Child, what it would be without Jesus Christ, you know time is dated from that manger.

Every event is dated before, or after, Jesus' birth. The Greeks tried to date time from their Olympics--and failed. The Romans tried to date time from the founding of their Imperial City--and failed...

But what the Greeks could not do with their universally famous games, and what the Romans could not do with their Imperial City...Jesus Christ did with His swaddling clothes and His bed of straw.--Adapted from "A World Without Christ" by Noel Smith, Baptist Bible Tribune, 12/21/78. Reprinted in Rejoice in the Lord.TV Newsletter, Winter 2009, Pensacola, FL 32523-9160.

IT WOULDN'T BE CHRISTMAS WITHOUT JESUS

Jesus is:

The Light of the World

Savior to those who receive him

Hope in a dark world

Peace for the troubled soul

Refuge in time of trouble

Near to those who need comfort

Forgiving

My Healer

My Shepherd

Jesus came to:

Provide eternal life

Destroy the works of the Devil

Redeem me from the enemy

Enable me to be strong

Be my Healer

Lead me in righteous pathways

Teach me to love

Teach me how to pray

Give me wisdom

Rescue me, comfort me.

"I bring you good news of great joy that will be to all people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is Christ the Lord...Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to men..." Luke 2:10-14

From Moshe's Musings, Jews for Jesus Newsletter, December 2009:

God is without body.

He has no form, Except that of a babe born in Bethlehem,

A small refugee who became a man so far from home.

Yet, through His body, and through His blood, a world of people was nourished and came to life.

He gives life,

And calls us into strength and holiness;

He calls us to goodness,

And to giving-ness.

Oh that we, like Him, should become nourishment to bring nations to life.

And through that refugee babe,

May we see the mighty Lord,

Who prevails over all.

Hoorah for Rev. David Manning of Atlah Worldwide Ministries, who defied the liberals who have misled the black people in America for decades and spoke out about the duplicity of Barack Hussain Obama and his hoodwinking of all us American people, who ought to know enough to smell a rat when Obama's birth certificate (posted on his site) lacks a doctor's signature, and also his wife has sealed the records relating to her being disbarred from practicing law after only 3 years. Don't these two items strongly suggest that both Barack and Michelle are not what they claim to be? That both may well be the biggest shysters ever to hit the political scene in America? Tammany Hall of New York has nothing over this pair of world-class scammers! Rev. Manning is outraged that we should be so deceived by this man and wife cabal as to turn over to them our U.S. military, our banks, our law enforcement, etc., when his own grandmother in Kenya says he was born there, thereby disqualifying him for the presidency. No other president has such a cloud over him regarding his legitimacy as this one. Anyone can cook up a fake birth certificate, and Rev. Manning says that no doctor has yet come forward, nor anyone claiming to be born at the same time as Obama in Hawaii--there just is silence! Rev. Manning says he will not shut up, he will keep voicing his outrage to America until we wake up! More power to you, Rev. Manning. We need thousands of your brave and truth-loving kind. It is complaiscence that is allowing this "usurper," as Rev. Manning calls Obama, to gain such power over us and our nation and its destiny. You can go to Rev. Manning's website for more particulars and facts regarding his case regarding Obama's deceiving of America to steal the U.S. presidency and then use it to subvert all our democratic insitutions and our free way of life for his and his socialist party's advantage.

Whatever his flamboyance may be, this leader in the black community has taken on the black liberal establishment head on, face to face, and he is not backing down.

Take a good look at this family (I counted nine children in the two pictures of the same home in the dump, two of them standing in the window, barely visible). This is shown here because we who are Americans are not genuinely poor, though we claim there is poverty in this country. All these "Poor Americans" you hear trumpeted on the liberal radio ads would be considered rich by Merry Joy (the tallest girl on the right in the upper picture), her mother, and the rest of her big family! Imagine living in a dump site, a sickening, filthy place, because you have no other place to go. Your roof is a tattered piece of plastic. The one room shack stands on rickety wood supports, which could collapse in a storm and land the whole family in mud and running water. What do they eat? How do they clothe themselves or wash? It doesn't look like they have electric. What do they cook and heat with? Do you get the picture? This is not unusual in Asia, South America, even Russia, the Middle East, and Mexico and Central America. Maybe you can't imagine it, but the fact is this is the way hundreds of millions of people live on this earth, and we Americans have nothing even like it. Don't tell us about the Ozarks and the poverty there--it is a generational thing. A trillion dollars has been spent to eliminate "poverty" there and elsewhere in America, and it has gone down the rathole--those folks are still pretty much in those same downtrodden circumstances and needing more handouts (which some are too proud to accept, which is a credit to their independent spirit, since they have pride in themselves, despite their poverty). Isn't that a spiritual condition they are bound in--a culture that is under the Devil's power so much, that the people are captives to never having enough of the necessities? Yet even the worst of Appalachia and the Ozarks doesn't even approach the picturew of squalor and true poverty of Haiti or Africa. And as for the New Orleans refugees were, we are told, put in George Bush's FEMA trailors that stank with insulation fumes, well, Merry Joy and her mother and brothers and sisters would be overjoyed if they could have a FEMA trailer to move into! They wouldn't complain! It would be a palace to them. But remember how the refugees from the hurricanes here wailed on Oprah and other stupid shows about the way Bush had let them down and and felt so sorry for themselves that they had to live temporarily in such trailers, instead of being put (like many others actually were) in luxurious hotel rooms and motels? I remember. I saw those fat free-loaders shedding crocodile tears for themselves, while their thug-like sons or boyfriends stood by silently, scanning the new terrain around them for easy pickings. I heard it all. What hypocrisy and ignorance we have in our people, they are so selfish and self-indulgent and used to free-loading on this government and on the charity of others that they demand and expect luxury when actually a plastic roof over their heads is a luxury to many people in this world. Shame on us! We are so bewitched and selfish that we demand things that no one else in any other time would think necessary to life. We live like kings, most of us, and yet call ourselves poor or, at best, middle class. Well, it is time to be grateful to God for the countless blessings and the wonderful standard of living we enjoy. Even our poorest are not really poor. Yes, there is some hunger here and there, yes, some kids need shoes, and yes, houses are smashed by a tornado by a storm or swept away by a flood. There is help available to all these unfortunate people, if they only ask. They can get help. And they don't have to even have to go and ask--there are Christians who go to them with rush teams carrying all kinds of aid, as we know from the example of Franklin Graham and his Good Samaritans. But America--what a place this is! It is the most blessed on earth, but we still have loads of folks who are not poor but are claiming to be, when actually all they need to do is go out and get a job and work up a little sweat and earn an honest pay check to buy what they need, rather than moan and cry about what they don't have and what George Bush didn't deliver on. Shame on us! Shame on us! We are blessed out of our socks, being citizens of this country, and we have God to thank for it all, but do we thank Him?

Psalm 111:5, "He has given food to those who fear Him; The Lord is ever mindful of his covenant." Which covenant? You really should not have asked, it is unnecessary. That verse means any covenant He has made. He is true to each and every one. God, the Covenant-Maker, cannot lie, cannot renege, cannot and will never walk away from any covenant. Man does just the opposite, he breaks every single covenant he ever makes with God or man. Bear this in mind as you read further.

As we watch Obama take this country apart and downward to hell, we have to think that God will not let him get away with his stating to the world that this is not a Christian nation. It is a Christian nation. Not because our founding documents say so (which they do), but because God has said so. God Almighty was covenanted with by our founders at Plymouth, and their covenant with the Lord was ratified by the Founders and Framers of the Constitution (not to mention the colonial charters and later the state constitutions). Not one of these documents denies we are a Christian nation, but rather, affirms the fact we are. Because the Lord God's honor is at stake, and his truthfulness, I doubt he is pleased with the despicable, pontificating liar in the Oval Office for defaming the Covenant He Himself made with our nation's godly founders. Obama's fate is sealed (and the fate of his administration and staff and the present Democrat-dominated Congress), not only because of his ungodly policies, but also because of his defaming of the honor of our Covenant God. God takes His covenants seriously and does not ever break them. Obama seeks to break that covenant with his own rash will and power as U.S. president, and that is not enough. He is a mere leaf in the wind, he cannot break it. Yes, most of the nation has abandoned God, but not everyone. We still have a remnant who fear God and revere the Covenant made with Him regarding our nation and its purpose in spreading the Gospel. God full well knows He has a remnant here in this ungodly society. How else can you explain that our nation has not been destroyed by divine judgment for its gross immorality, violence, perversion, witchcraft, and defiance of God? God has a judgment coming for America, but the remnant has stayed God's hand, and we still receive his amazing grace and mercy, day after day. God does not want to judge and destroy America, which started so well as a righteous nation with righteous leaders, but he must judge and destroy America for legalizing the murder of 50 million innocent babies for profit and convenience. God could forgive us, if we would only repent of our sins. So far we have not repented as a nation and a people. And so we wait...and plead for revival and repentance to break forth from coast to coast, even as the storm clouds gather and darken round all our shores.

Who could possibly surpass this Committee of elite Norwegians in pure, unadulterated folly? What a bunch of stupids! The Norwegian Nobel Committee announced it has awarded Barack Hussain Obama the Novel Peace Prize. I am surprised they have not yet awarded British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain the Peace Price posthumously, for he too was a champion of peace at any price, just as Obama is who follows his spectacularly stupid and naive example. In the 1930s, just before World War II, Chamberlain, surely the most stupid-smart man in the 20th century, brokered a colossally stupid giveaway peace treaty for "Peace in Our Time" with Adolf Hitler, throwing Czechoslovakia, a free nation, into the jaws of the Nazis, thinking that would satisfy Hitler's future territorial ambitions. Chamberlain (his name lives in infamy!) died a thoroughly disillusioned man after he was doublecrossed by Hitler and made the laughing stock of the world. Defying all that history could have taught him about dictators, Chamberlain brought on the destruction of over 45 million human beings in the most horrible war earth has yet seen. Because of what he did, Chamberlain's name is deservedly infamous and repulsive, yet now we have a president strutting merrily in Chamberlain's footsteps, playing the same fashionable but insane game with dictators all round the globe, appeasing everybody he can who doesn't like democracy and freedom, hoping that will satisfy them and make them stop hating us so much. Well, the Norwegian Nobel Committee members, who happen to admire dictators and even terrorists such as Yassir Arafat, are fawning all over Obama as a man "who offers hope to the world." Yes, the same kind of vain hope that Chamberlain offered so foolishly! My Grandmother gladly left Norway in 1903 for America, saying it was growing cold and faithless, and it went downhill ever since, sad to say. With my solid, godly, God-fearing Norwegian background, I am ashamed of a secularist, godless Norway for bestowing honor on someone who does not deserve it in the least. Shame on my ancestors' fatherland, Norway! You have stepped into the abyss and are dragging the world with you!

If there was any one single sign our nation was going to be judged by Almighty God for abandoning Him, it was this ship and the fatal arrogance and presumption of its owner and captain that doomed her and most everyone on board on that fatal night in early April, 1912.

Let's not be fooled again! The Devil puts on his Sunday best and goes to church too and claims to be a pious, upstanding Christian.

Did Hitler appear a wolf before he proved he was a wolf? Of course, not! He came in, just like Obama did, a brand-new face preaching hope and change to the youth, attending church services (even evangelical ones) and wearing a nice sheep's fleece, so to speak. He was always spouting all sorts of things the economically hard-pressed Germans of the 1930s wanted to hear; they ate up his message of hope, change, and prosperity, a new world order run by Grmans for their benefit. Americans now eat up Obama's message in the same way, thinking they are going to benefit, but actually he will bring their ruin, sooner or later, just as Hitler, German's Savior, brought total ruin and destruction. Why warn Americans? They are no better than the Germans who foolishly chose their own nemesis and followed him into the pit. Yet God is a God of mercy and grace. We must offer mercy and grace to the end. God takes no pleasure, he says, in the destruction of the wicked, be they Germans or Americans!
