Daily Audio Bible with Brian

"The Book of Books" is really a portable 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 distinguished 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).

The Books of the Bible


This VHS presentation by Charleton Heston, shot on location in the Holy Land, not only reviews the history of the Bible translations, but gives us Heston's own dramatic reciting of the Gospel's scriptures of the Passion of Christ. Every character involved--Herod, Judas, the chief priests, Pilate, Thomas and the disciples-- comes to life in his tremendously powerful narration straight from the Bible. It is an Agamemnon Films Production. You can probably access it through Amazon.com, or by going to Agamemnon Films on the internet.

A Gentle Reminder about who is NOT our provider:

The Obama Million Dollar Note is really worth nothing, since it cannot say, "In God We Trust," but may cost you your soul if you sell out to Big Government rather than trust God for your provision. "The Lord [not Obama) is my Shepherd, I shall not want (lack)"--Psalm 23

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.

There exist what we call "Bible Lands." The Holy Land is Israel, but the Bible lands comprises Egypt, Greece, and particularly Turkey (Asia Minor), as these figure prominantly in the New Testament and the Early Church. The Christian faith was first solidly established in Asia Minor, chiefly by the Apostle Paul.

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:

The greatest treasures on Earth are not gleaming stacks of gold bars deep down in the heavily-guarded underground vaults of Ft. Knox or the hundred plus carat Star of India and the other Crown Jewels of England's monarchs kept also under constant guard while on display up in the Tower of London. The greatest treasures are not super cars showcased at the latest futuristic car show with glamorous young women holding the doors open for only the richest and most famous to sit in them. The greatest treasures are not the designer clothes that the Hollywood celebs stuff into their already over-stuffed, warehouse-sized closets. The greatest treasures are not Manhattan real estate or the yachts and cruise ships of super-rich Mideast oil kings or software moguls, nor even priceless artworks of Michaelangelo in Rome or the Mona Lisa in the Paris museum. Earth's greatest treasures are not the Taj Mahal or the Sistine Chapel or the Pyramids of Giza or any masterpiece of architecture by Frank Lloyd Wright. Earth's greatest treasures have always been and will ever be the Sacred Scriptures of the Bible--which are the written, inspired Word of God. Earth's greatest treasures are not blue chip portfolios of billionaires--which are really worth nothing, spiritually speaking, since all such riches will pass away and leave nothing in the hands of their former possessors. It is this Word of God, the Bible, that will last forever, when all of earth's treasures are burnt up and gone forever, leaving only a puff of smoke. American Bible Society Scripture Collection preserves the history of the printed Word. Below is a link to a description of this page, telling you about each of these priceless treasures.

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!

Try and get to heaven without it! If neglect the Basic Instruction Book of Salvation and Christian faith, what are you flying there on anyway? If you are planning to make it on your own steam, you'll run out, and won't make it. Don't count on "cheap grace" either, which allows you to live anyway you please. The Bible doesn't support that, and grace is not cheap by any means, though it is absolutely free and cannot be earned. Your initial decision for Christ could get you there by the skin of your teeth--but chances are you will be picked off by Satan long before your end. That's his job, picking the weak ones off the road to heaven, and he is good at his job. He knows that a Bibleless Christian is a push-over, and can't resist or detect his maneuvers when he comes to take you over. So get the basic manual and dig into it and stay there, digging in it every day for what you need to keep on the right track. There is no other book that can help you reach heaven safely, if you neglect the Bible.

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. And did you know that the very first bread and wine consumed on the Moon were the elements of Communion, partaken by a reverent astronaut to do honor to Jesus Christ? There you have it, ladies and gentlemen, a Bible laid on its surface, Genesis scriptures read, Communion elements consumed there, Jesus Christ and His sacrifice for man's sin commemorated, that is how the Moon was "christened" by the first ever human beings to set foot on it. The Earth is the Lord's, but so is the Moon--and our U.S. flag stuck on it, with no wind to ever furl it, is purely coincidental, since any nation that acknowledges God is blessed and could be the first to put a man on the Moon.

What if you found or fell into a state where you couldn't speak, 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:

GRATITUDE TO GOD CENTER:

From Malcom Hare, editor of New Tribes Mission magazine, NTM@Work:

"Piyato, ex-wife killer, warrior, hunter and now believer in the Creator I AM, sat down to divide of the spoils of his two-week hunting trip.l He and four other men squatted on the ground and unwrapped bundles of smoked wild pig and possum. The possum they do not smoke as much, hoping maggots will help increase the flavor--a delight not at all like the roast turkey you had at Thanksgiving. I watched as Piyato pulled out the smoked head of a possum, held it up for all to see and started praying. He thanked the Creator God for supplying the food. He thanked God for giving him a successful hunt, and for allowing them to have enough to go around for everyone. The missionary standing next to me translated Piyato's prayer of thanksgiving. My heart melted and tears formed in my eyes. So simple, so eloquent, so thankful. That scene may be my most remembered Thanksgiving. Experiencing it with the Moi people, living in one of the most remote areas of the world, I learned new things about thankfulness."--Malcom Hare

The upset victory of Scott Brown winning the seat of the late Sen. Edward Kennedy over the Democrat candidate, that odious, lying Ms. Coxey, sent a shock wave all the way to Congress and the White House! Or was it God's earthquake, politically, that shook all the Democrats up and confused them? I know their souls are precious to God, but I can't help but stand with David on this matter, rejoicing in the humiliation of our wicked oppressors in Washington. He never suffered wicked people gladly either. He rejoiced when he saw God overthrow them. I see no reason why we cannot rejoice and be grateful to God concerning this election of a more righteous candidate than Ms. Coxey (unless she repents and turns to God) will ever be. I think it is wonderful! There isn't anyway else to describe it. WONDERFUL!!! Now we just have another 200 or so Democrats to go--including the alpha rodent from the Chicago rats nest, Mr. Obama

God is clearly putting a hook in the noses of the Democrats, along with a spirit of delusion to seduce and lead them to destruction. Like the mad migrations of lemings in Scandinavia, they are rushing to the sea to swim out and drown! The Democrat Party is not so much a political party, it is a moral and spiritual sickness, a terminal illness of iniquity and rebellion against God, which God is now judging. There is no good thing in it. It cannot be reformed or redeemed. It is altogether wicked. It is time for it to be cast into the fire as a dangerous serpent should be. If you can't conceive of this, just observe their actions. They are the actions of a doomed, mad, evil creature, are they not? From bewitched White House to bewitched Congress, these servants of the Devil are not going to escape judgment for all their crimes against our nation's moral fabric and their persecution of Christians and their defiance of God. It is here! They can see the judgment too, for some are already fleeing while they still can escape, as rats do from a burning building or any sinking ship. Meanwhile, I pray for their souls to be saved, while their careers and reputations go up in smoke and their names become no better than trash!

The battle is the Lord's! We must always remember that. We do not fight on our own, but only as the Lord leads. Blessing is one of our chief weapons. There is a power in blessing, even in the seemingly darkest times such as these:

"Power of the Blessing"

Look at this squalid scene and tell me that you don't see these things going on in America everywhere you look! This is Nineveh at its most violent, cruel, and sex-crazed, this is shameless, superrich, luxury-loving, clothes and nails conscious, sensation-seeking, people-idolizing Babylon with all the stops pulled out, having their last fling, their last big bash, before their enemies pour through their defenses and sweep them into the dustbin of history! It is one big drunken, drugged out, hyped up party in America. Immorality, drunkenness, gluttony, worship of money, power, celebrity, false religions...Moses saw it happening at Mount Horeb in the camp of the Israelites, and we see it happening in America--all because we have rejected the Ten Commandments of God. The Israelites destroyed themselves rejecting them, so how can we excape destruction too?

Just as Moses dashed the tablets of the law to pieces when he saw Israeli's apostasy, so we have smashed the tablets to pieces with our sins of thought, word, and deed. 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. Go to Charles Stanley's messages, "America's Future," offered on his website:

Charles Stanley's "America's Future"

"The Ten Commandments," How We Have Broken Them All in America and Warrant God's Judgment Upon Us and our Nation, by Ronald Ginther

LET YOUR PRAYERS BE GUIDED BY THE TEN COMMANDMENTS!

In my home town as I write this there is a large business sign "Happy Donuts," on a tall pole by a donut shop, but it doesn't read that anymore. I noticed the "u" was missing, worn off in the weather, so that it now reads "HAPPY DONTS". Isn't that what the Ten Commandments are--happy do-nots or don'ts? If we obey them, we shall be happy! Disregard and break them, we shall be unhappy, and it is really is as simply as that!

Have you ever read anything that is such a work of genius as the Ten Commandments? They are perfect, absolutely right to the point, and totally necessary for human beings if they are to live better than barbarians as civilized and godly children of God. Yet our Supreme Court turned lunatic and proscribed one of God's greatest gifts to mankind, all under the guise of safeguarding impressionable young mush-minds in the public schools from being harmed psychologically by exposure to them on some school wall. LUNACY! THAT WAS SHEER LUNACY! These Commandments are utterly priceless. We can do without the Mona Lisa, or the Sistine Chapel, or that pornographic Madonna, but not the Ten Commandments. We will perish without them. They are life and death for American civilization, you'll see. We were founded on them, and henceforth rose to become the greatest nation on earth, as they were preached and promoted and disciplined into the majority of children in this nation for over 200 years. But then came the black-robed nincompoops of the Supreme Court who presumed to know better than God about how to raise human beings to a civilized level. They could not have been more arrogant and wrong-headed, and our nation took a dive from that point on, and has not risen since back toward civilization, thanks to them. We have plunged, faster and faster down the steep descent into barbarism and chaos and depravity ever since their ruling in the 1960s to ban the Ten Commandments from public schools, along with prayer too. Those educated idiots are probably stewing in hell now, but their legacy lives on, in the destruction of countless American young people, who are given no moral compass of any sort by which to get their lives on a right and decent and life-sustaining foundation. George Washington and the other Framers and Founders of our nation will rise up and condemn the Supreme Court justices who committed this heinous crime against the youth of our nation. I recall the Sixties, as I was growing up then, and just entering college too. I was in the Air Force, for three years also. That was when the nation began falling apart, big time, and it is no coincidence: the Supreme Court was behind it, due to its rulings against the Ten Commandments, prayer, etc. They were throwing God out, banning Him, telling God in effect he was no longer welcome in America, if they had anything to say about it. We should have risen up then, if we had known better, and run them out of the country, to Canada or Mexico on rails, with tar and feathers as their only clothes. They were nothing but monsters, and they remain monsters, for what they did to us all.

It is a sad fact that a nation may have the Word of God (like Israel did), yet still live unrighteously and go down to destruction in consequence. We too in America have had the Bible, but have chosen to live unrighteously and are going down to destruction like the Israelites of old. So it is vital to return to the righteousness of God, via obedience to His holy commandments. The Bible on our coffee tables or even in the churches will not save us, not in the least, if we do not apply what is written in its pages to our lives. Therefore: this review of the Ten Commmandments, implemented by prayer and then by action, is indispensible for us as individuals and also as a people and nation.

1. THOU SHALT HAVE NO OTHER GODS BEFORE ME. Pray that God would be worshiped above all else in our land.

2. THOU SHALT NOT MAKE UNTO THEE ANY GRAVEN IMAGE. Ask God to reveal our nation's idolatry.

3. THOU SHALT NOT TAKE THE NAME OF THE LORD THY GOD IN VAIN. Pray that the Lord's name be honored; ask God to bring a fresh conviction against profanity and depravity.

4. REMEMBER THE SABBATH DAY, TO KEEP IT HOLY. Pray that God's people will set an example for this nation by honoring the Lord through a Sabbath rest.

5. HONOR THY FATHER AND THY MOTHER. Intercede that the family will be restored to its rightful place of honor and respect.

6. THOU SHALT NOT KILL. Pray that the culture of death would be broken; pray for a culture of life to reign.

7. THOU SHALT NOT COMMIT ADULTERY. Intercede for marriages in this land; ask God to restore the sanctity of the marriage bond.

8. THOU SHALT NOT STEAL. Pray that personal property would be respected; that both personal and institutional theft would end.

9. THOU SHALT NOT BEAR FALSE WITNESS AGAINST THY NEIGHBOR. Intercede for a day when integrity and concern for our fellow man would cause us to honor our neighbors.

10. THOU SHALT NOT COVET. Ask God to break the materialism which grips our land; pray that men and women would discover their true purpose in serving the Lord.

Let us come to Him with open hearts and empty hands, turning from ourselves and toward our God. Then and only then will we see true revival in our land. --P & R Schenck Associates in Evangelism, P.O. Box 75157, Washington, DD 20013-0157

RECOMMENDED CHRISTIAN BOOKS LIST:

Ron Hembree writes about Jake DeShazer, a bombadier on the famed Doolittle bomber raid on Tokyo, who was soon after captured in China by the Japanese and interred and tortured in a prison until the end of the war, and Mitsuo Fuchida, the commander of the Pearl Harbor squadrons that attacked and destroyed the mighty battleships in Pearl Harbor, igniting total, all-out war with America. Miraculously, Jake was handed a Bible and was saved in the hellhole of prison, and came to love his torturers for Christ. A few years later, after returning to the U.S. and going to seminary and marrying a lovely Christian girl, he returned to Japan with the Gospel! He loved the Japanese, he no longer hated them with a passion for revenge. One of those who read his testimony he handed out in Shibuya station in Tokyo one day was the air commander of the Pearl Harbor attack, Mitsuo Commander, the greatest war hero of Japan, and he gave his heart to Christ. Both men were transformed, from men who hated each other to men of real love for one another. Both former arch-enemies became evangelists to the Japanese people, and they began sharing meetings across Japan's islands and thus becoming the instruments for God to use to turn thousands of people to Christ the Savior.

I obtained my copy through the Rex Humbard Ministry, P.O. Box 3063, Boca Raton, FL 33431. Tel: (561)-732-0201. It is only 74 pages, an easy read, but is unforgettable. It is also illustrated with photos of DeShazer, Fuchida, and Japanese aerial photos of Pearl Harbor as the attack begins. It concludes with the spiritual diagnosis of the Japanese people at the present time, updating the story to our own time. For that reason, this book has something vital to say about evangelism and the Gospel, and how the disillusioned, spiritually bankrupted, materialism- driven Japanese people, who lost faith in their Shinto gods and their "god" the emperor due to Japan's defeat and surrender in World War II, can best be reached with the message of hope in Christ.

On a Previous Home Page we formerly featured the DVD depicting the reconciliation of Fuchida and DeShazer, which can be accessed no doubt at Amazon.com.

A friend forwarded this book to me, recognizing the writer, Dave Anderson of Tempe, Arizona, as our former Academy-ite from our Christian high school, Augustana Academy, in Canton, South Dakota. He and seven other on a mission trip to Siberia right across from Seward, Alaska, went down in their plane, and would have drowned or died first by hypothermia as they waited in the water, but miracle after miracle occurred, and the impossible occurred, they survived! This has never happened before, and they were in the life-threatening cold waters of the Bering Strait up to seventy minutes, about four times longer than any normal person could survive such numbing temperatures, holding with numb fingers to gas cans for flotation, as they had no life jackets or boat. Fellowship Publishing of Tempe, Arizona, published the book. It is the most exciting drama you could imagine as the rescue efforts by a helicoper and another plane involved did all they could to get them out of the water in time before they suffered cardiac arrest from hypothermia. You can't find anything the like on TV. Only this little book, which I read in just a few hours, tells this spellbinding story of God's mighty deliverance.

The book is $6.00, the video of the story is $20. You can order either book or video. Their website is:

The Vision, by David Wilkerson, reads like today's news! What the book described were impossible or seemed impossible when it came out in the 1970's, but no longer! We are watching these very events unfold catastrophically, even in our near vicinity and in our neighborhoods and homes, churches, and towns and cities and the countryside. This is the litmus test of Biblical prophecy: Does it come true? Well, the VISION has come painfully true. Page after page, I could see plainly that the prophecies were true, as I had already read about the events described that took place in the years leading up to 2009, even in the current events of 2010. This book reminds us that we need to be prepared and sober and watch, with much prayer, or we will be swallowed up in these terrible upheavals and social and religious deceptions that prevail today to lead the mass of people after Satan and into destruction. Go to Amazon.com and get yourself a used copy! It is a gold-mine of prophecy. See for yourself if it sn't a clear, unmistakable prophetic warning from God himself!

I don't need to remain ignorant all my life about the main features of the Bible, not when there are such wonderful resources as this available for a reasonable price. I have just received this book. There is also a poster picture you can order of the tabernacle that is suitable to be framed. I am excited to read this book and learn much about the tabernacle, which is really a figure or foreshadowing of Christ on the Cross and his work of substitution and sacrifice for our sins. Why do you think God was so detailed in his instructions to Moses and the artisans? It was because this tabernacle portended Christ in every aspect of his divinity and humanity and his work of salvation. It is the picture of God's master plan of redemption! That is why God gave complete instructions for its construction, down to the smallest detail, and when completed it was no doubt the most perfect and most holy building on earth, absolutely unique and wholly devoted to the One True God! No wonder that those who showed contempt for God and His laws, as even the sons of Aaran did when they brought unsanctified fire into the sanctuary, were struck dead by God himself. Anyone who as much as spoke against the Tabernacle in the general congregation among the tents of Israel was given the death penalty. This was Christ Himself prefigured, and all that Christ won for us sinners on the Cross. Without the blood covering their capital sins within the sanctuary, Abihu and Nadab the sons of Aaron were exposed to the fierce anger and judgment of of a just God, and thus died on the spot. That is the case for all sinners not covered by the blood of Christ who come into his presence. But thanks be to God, who provided Jesus, whose blood covers our sins, or we would suffer the same fate when we stand before Jesus at the Judgment.

David M. Levy's, "The Tabernacle: Shadows of the Messiah," is available for only $14.95. The poster's price is $4 and measures 18 inches by 30 inches and is printed on heavy stock suitable for framing. Wonderfully illustrated and authentic in every detail, showing even the Shekinah Glory blazing out of the Holy of Holies through the Tabernacle roof. Go to Friends of Israel website, or write to: The Friends of Israel Gospel Ministry, P.O. Box 908, Bellmawr, NJ 08099.

I am finding THE TABERNACLE a most wonderful book for devotions and meditation. Though it covers every feature of the Tabernacle, it does not contain too much detail or scholarly description and historical material, so that you are lost in the details, but rather the details point you to Christ, and you cannot help but be led in the Spirit to get down on your knees to worship God.

The chapter about the Veil of the Tabernacle and Temple is especially beautiful and meaningful. I learned new things about the Veil, which I am sure you will benefit from too. For that reason I plan to excerpt this section, so that you will be sure to get a taste of this book, if you weren't inspired enough by my previous words to look into it. You need to! It is a rare experience, and will reward you beyond anything I can say about it.

"The Veil," an Excerpt from THE TABERNACLE by David M. Levy

This phenomenal, eye-opening, even shocking book by Dr. Mark Gabriel, a former iman of a mosque in Cairo, now a much persecuted convert to Christ, will expose point by point the absolute folly and horrific danger of the politically correct view in Washington and even in the U.S. military concerning radical/militant/jehadist Islam. Dr. Gabriel shows by an examination of Islam's holy books, the Quran and the Hadiths, that jehad against Christians and Jews is systemic to Islam, the religion and society founded on it. The earlier, loving, tolerant scriptures of the Quran concerning Jews and Christians are cited in the politically correct view in Washington, not the later scriptures commanding all Muslims to wage eternal jihad (or jehad) against Christians and Jews until they are either enslaved and heavily taxed or dead...yes, dead! Who is going to admit this in Washington and the Pentagon? Secretary of the Dept. of Defense Gates? Admiral Mike Mullens, chief of the armed services? Both hold rigidly to the politically correct view of Islam as a benign religion, totally missing the fact that the earlier scriptures of tolerance toward Christians and Jews are superseded by the later hostile ones preaching aggression and death to Christians and Jews, the "infidels" identified first by Mohammed after he left Medina of his exile period and arrived in Mecca militarily victorious over all his enemies (which included previously many Muslims). Dr. Gabriel shows that we have placed ourselves in a very dangerous position vis a vis the Islamic terrorists. We must not even call them terrorists! No, these folks have psychological problems, or they are just reacting to unjust discrimination by bigoted, profiling, stupid, red-necked Americans. Our homegrown suicide bombers and killers are handled as the courts would any other class of criminals, and that is totally wrong: this is a religion of uncompromising hate and jehad against Christians and Jews, that exists for that sake, and to call it benign and think that its radicals are other than faithful Islamic believers, that is to miss the whole nature of the beast. Secretary Gates, Admiral Mullens, Army Chief of Staff General Casey, and Presidents Bush (who continued the politically correct view of Islam) and Obama the Unready are responsible for the murders of the troops at Fort Hood and elsewhere, as they ignored the warning signs, very clear ones, that the killer was an Islamic jehadist and terrorist, bending themselves into knots to call him anything but that, while he described himself as determined to be that very thing in his emails and communications with a jehadist imman in Philadelphia. They will be responsible for many more killings on our own soil, having given the Islamic terrorists here and abroad much encouragement by showing them and the world that we have tied our own hands by refusing to acknowledge even the clearest signs of identification for the Islamic jehadists in our midst. This is a paralyzing set of blinders put on us by the politically correct liberals in Washington, and it may prove to bring total disaster upon the United States, as we are hit and hit again by devastating blows by enemies we will not identify in order to destroy them before they destroy us. The liberals' (whether "Republican" or "Democrat") fatally flawed political view of Islam has left us wide open to attack of the first magnitude.

FRIENDSHIP CENTER FOR MOSLEMS AND JEWS:

God dearly loves all Moslem people. He wants them to be saved. This is a Peace Card with "Peace" or "Shalom" in Hebrew and Arabic, sent to me from Bethlehem by a dear missionary friend years ago, who may be in glory today after years of intercession for the Jewish and Arab peoples she loved and to whom she preached the Gospel.

Jesus is the Prince of Peace. There can be no peace with God and peace with men for Moslems and anyone of any other religion without Jesus the Savior.

Do not listen to people, even if they are U.S. Presidents, who say that Allah and our Christian God are the same God. They are not, and never could be. What is the absolute proof? It is this: Islam declares without any hedging whatsoever that their Allah has no Son! Therefore, the one they call prophet, Isa, or Issa, is not Allah's Son, but just a man, though a prophet inferior to Mohammed even. This is not the truth, we know from the Bible. Jesus Christ (Yeshua, in Hebrew) is God's divine son. Now without Christ Jesus, there can be no relationship with God the Father. Jesus said: "No one comes to the Father but by Me." So Islam and the their book, the Koran, testify that Allah their supreme god has no son, and we know God has a Son. These two faiths are completely opposite and completely antithetical. They can never be reconciled, George Bush! And you churchmen of the United Methodists, you can never honestly claim to your church members that Allah and our God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob are the same God. Without Jesus Christ, you cannot meet God except as a Judge who condemns you to everlasting torment for your sins. Only through Christ can you receive grace and forgiveness from God the Father and become his child forever. Through Christ Jesus alone! Tell that to your church members, not that Allah and our God are the same--which is the absolute opposite of the Bible truth. Islam itself rejects what you say categorically!

Here is a little but powerful rendition of the Islamic position regarding their little false prophet Isa, who lies, and Jesus Christ the true Son of God, and true Prophet of God, who stated: "I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life, no man comes to the Father but by Me." Praise His all-powerful Name!

Dr. Michael Gabriel has a portion of a chapter we will excerpt that will put to rest the notion that Islam and Christianity worship the same God. We hope to have it on-line soon.

World Net Daily, for Story of Sheik Masab Yousef's Believing in Jesus Christ

William Gladstone (1809-1898) was Prime Minister of Great Britain [when Britain was truly great, acquiring colonies for its empire but also bringing the infrastructure and legal apparatus of progressive, industrial, democratic civilization to huge barbaric areas of Africa and also despot-riddled Asia] four times: 1868-1874, 1880-1885, 1886 and 1892-1894). He called the Qu'ran [or Koran] an "accursed book" and once held it up during a session of Parliament, declaring: "So long as there is this book there will be no peace in the world."

If Gladstone were somehow to be miraculously transported to the House of Commons in 2009, he would be excoriated for "hate speech" if he dared repeat his view of the Qu'ran today. From Jihadwatch.org, 1/2/2009, reprinted in VINE AND BRANCHES, Spring 2009.

According to the Al Jazeera News, the main Muslim media outlet for Muslim events (they also play Osama bin Ladin tapes), as reported on TBN's "Behind the Scenes, 16,000 Muslims a day convert to the Christian faith. Clearly, the walls of Islam are tumbling down, together with their sky-scraping minarets! Despite the severe risk of being killed for their decision, millions of Muslims are turning to Jesus Christ. The imans too are being converted. Terrorists are being converted. Islam, despite the current surge in Muslim populations and all the violent attacks it is making on Christians, Buddhists, and Hindus, is on the wane, it is dying, and Satan is whipping Muslims into a frenzy to keep it going and delay the inevitable destruction of this ungodly, blasphemous, shameless religion of brutality and force and lust.

Anti-Semitism Center:

If you think the Moslems today are the world's worst anti-Semites, you may be wrong. Historic Christianity may have to take that dubious distinction. We Christians have no right to think we are any better in this regard. Guess who drew inspiration from Martin Luther's anti-Semitic broadsides?--Adolf Hitler. But going all the way back to the Early Church Fathers, we see that many Church Fathers hated and despised and blamed the Jews, encouraging persecution of them. We have an article excerpted that will give us their very words, which are so hateful they are hard to write. The Crusades of the Middle Ages target Jews for massacres, which they committed right up into the holy city of Jerusalem as they liberated it from the Moslems. Later on, you witness the Spanish Inquisition, in which untold thousands of Jews in Spain and other countries were either forcibly converted to Christianity, or tortured and killed, their homes and goods stolen, and whoever survived was driven out to see refuge wherever they might find it in other countries. It is a negative, even bitter example, to be sure! But we must draw a lesson from it, just the same. To be informed as we Christians should be about things Christianity has taught about the Jews, please go to:

Islam vs. the West Center:

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"

From Worldnetdaily, 1/21/09, reprinted as"Dutch Politician Accused of Inciting Hatred," in THE VINE AND BRANCHES, Spring 2009. "A Dutch politician who made a controversial film that warns Islam threatens Western civilization faces trial in the Netherlands for 'inciting hatred and discrimination.'

"The BBC reported a Dutch court ordered prosecutors to put Freedom Party leader Geert Wilders on trial for his 17-minute documentary, 'Fitna,' which means 'strife.' In the film Wilders liked the Quran to Adolf Hitler's manifestor 'Mein Kampf.'

"'Participation in the public debate has become a dangerous activity,' said Wilders. 'If you give your opinion, you risk being prosecuted. Who will stand up for our culture if I am silenced?' he asked.

"According to the JERUSALEM POST, 1/26/09, the Dutch public is divided on the court decision. Fifty per cent oppose the trial of the parliamentarian, while 43 per cent are in favor. The court decision has further increased Wilders' popularity. A new poll gives the Freedom Party 20 seats in Parliament, as against nine it currently holds."

"VINE AND BRANCHES Editor's Note: Similar hate-crime legislation that now exists in Canada and Europe is on the drawing boards of liberal politicians in Washington, DC. Its passage is only a matter of time since it has the support of the Obama administration and the leftwing House and Senate leadership. Such legislation would be more accurately identified were it labeled for what it is--an assault on Christianity and truth. Unless freedom-loving Americans stand up against this assault on the First Amendment, such trials will be a common occurence in the United States. The New World Order cannot arise until Bible-based Christianity, dissent and personal liberties are made subservient to 'the greater social good.'"

"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.

"The Preaching Power of John Wesley," by Frederick E. Maser

Our Founding Fathers, if they had only been shown a vision of what our nation and its people would be like in 2010, would have thrown up their hands and said something like this: "Why should we sacrifice our lives, fortunes, and families, all we hold dear, for such a disastrous outcome? It is to no avail!" Wouldn't they have then allo packed up their papers and gone home and let the tyrant King George have his way with the American colonies? Surely they would have given up! How could anyone disagree with this if he knows what our Founding Fathers said, did, wrote, and were like? They were not quitters, in any way, but the present spiritual and moral condition of our people and this nation is so bad, so dismal, so revolting and repulsive, that there is no sane person on earth would would want to continue the present state of affairs as it is. We must change, now, or we shall surely perish, fellow Americans! We must fall to our knees, and on our faces before Almighty God, and repent and change our ways! Our Founders will be ashamed to acknowledge us as fellow Americans before the judgment of Christ. Now is the time, the moment, to turn back to God with sincere repentant hearts!

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

CONCERNING JAMES ROBISON'S MOST URGENT SHOFAR WARNINGS: As America goes, so goes the world. This is true in many senses. America is a bellwether sheep, the lead sheep that leads the flock. America leads in the number of missionaries it sends out, unless it has been lately surpassed by either China or Korea! America leads in philantrophy and compassionate aid to disaster victims world-wide. America leads in the number of international ministries carrying the Gospel and all sorts of aid. America leads in defense of freedom, no matter how small or insignificant the nation, spending any amount of money and sacrificing thousands of live of its valiant soldiers to win liberty for oppressed or captive nations and peoples. America leads in prosperity (though this is rapidly disappearing from the American scene, thanks to the triumph of liberalism and socialism and secularism, which are draining the nation of rugged individualism and self-improvement and the entrepeneurial spirit, while taxing the middle class and the small businessman to extinction). America also leads the world in the worst things imaginable, sad to say. Perversion, violence, crime, gangs, teen pregnancy, porn, prostitution, murder--you name the terrible category, we lead it! And if America does not repent and change its way, America will be destroyed, or the Bible is not true, and God has changed (I didn't say that--Ruth Bell Graham said that!). Taken from Billy Graham literature and letters of Franklin Graham, she is quoted as saying: "If God does not judge America, then God will have to apologize to Sodom and Gomorrah!" You can't be more clear than that, can you? She had the courage to say it, as very, very few in America do today! (Americans want to have their ears tickled, not their hearts pierced by the truth that could save them!) In the latest TV broadcasts James Robison, (who has been featured as a prophetic voice on this page before, crying out for America to repent and be restored to God) has been especially concerned about America's deplorable spiritual downswing. He is making the most urgent appeal to all of us to get it right with God, now, before it really is too late to turn around! You can go to LIFE TODAY, the James Robison TV program website, for the broadcast, or get ahold of FREEDOM'S CRY, the DVD which contains his messages crying out to Americans to reconsider the path we are on and turn aside from coming destruction. He speaks about Joel, how the locusts are devouring us, while an alien army (abortion providers and promoters, same-sex and gay rights Storm Troopers, etc.) marches lockstep across our whole society imposing their agendas on America. I heard his impassioned outcries, and saw how he was weeping for our country and for us, to wake us up before we are caught in our sin and wiped out, and you ought to hear them too--for this may well be our last chance.

Oklahoma State Proclamation of Morality, by Okla. State Rep. Sally Kern

When American men show they have no backbone, God will turn to the dear, little women! He did it in Biblical times, with Deborah and others like her. Women today, when men are bowing down to idols and compromising with all forms of immorality and perversity in the name of Tolerance and Love and Understanding, are standing up for what is righteous in America, even though the majority of 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.

Clearly, Native Americans can recognize other indigenous peoples when they see them--in this case, the Jews who are native to the land of Israel, and they have the backbone and courage to say so to an anti-semitic world in denial of the fact! 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! There is more hope for these Indian nations than there is for the nation of America! You will sooner see these Indian nations represented in the Millennium than you will see America. I wouldn't hold my breath on whether America will exist into the Millennium--as we are long over-due for judgment already.

INFANTICIDE/GENOCIDE CENTER:

Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court, in an interview for the NEW YORK TIMES, July 12, 2009, made this train-stopping statement: "I thought Roe [Roe vs. Wade, the infamous Supreme Court ruling that legalized abortion on demand in America] was about getting rid of population we don't want too many of."

That statement alone puts Ms. Ginsberg right along side Adolf Hitler, Josef Stalin, Chairman Mao, Pol Pot, and any other genocidalist monster in inhuman history. She is not in the least ashamed of her statement either! Here is the VINES AND BRANCHES article telling about her interview:

"The above statement, made by Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg in an interview for the NEW YORK TIMES, July 12, 2009, demonstrates the belief system of Justice Ginsburg, Planned Parenthood and other pro-abortion supporters before 1972. Her statement is not taken out of context. Her entire interview is available through the NEW YORK TIMES web site. The fact that a Supreme Court justice would parrot such liberal ideas promulgated by Planned Parenthood founder Margaret Sanger shows how far America has sunk in defiance of the Judaeo-Christian principles upon which the nation was founded.

Margaret Sanger, founder of the organization that gave rise to Planned Parenthood, stated in her book THE PIVOT OF CIVILIZATION, "There is but one practical and feasible program in handing the great problem of the feeble-minded [if anyone was 'feeble-minded,' it was her!]. That is, as the best authorities [Satan, Stalin, Hitler, and so forth!] are agreed, to prevent the birth of those who would transmit imbecility to their descendants."

Sanger went on to lament: "We now have state commissions for controlling the gypsy-moth and the boll weevil, the foot-and-mouth disease, and for protecting the shellfish and wild game, but we have no commission which even attempts to modify or control the vast moral and economic forcdes represented by the feeble-minded persons at large in the community."--VINES AND BRANCHES, Fall 2009 Issue

It makes me wonder if there isn't some merit in legislation against "hate speech" and "hate crimes" after all--but only when applied to Democrats and Liberals and secularists! They are the true perpetrators of hate speech and hate crimes against humanity. Ms. Ginsberg's own words in the quote above is proof positive of that fact.

Did you know that June became a Month of Infamy, due to something Obama did? Dr. David Reagan in the October LAMPLIGHTER magazine, publishes his letter to B. H. Obama which he sent to the White House website at www.whitehouse.gov after clicking on "Contact Us."

Dr. Reagan:

"Mr. President, I am outraged over your proclamation designating June as "LGBT Pride Month" [LGBT--Lesbian, Gay, Bi-Sexual, and Transgendered]. Why should any American take pride in sexual perversion? And why did you decide to discriminate against pedophiles by not including them in the proclamation--or will that be the proclamation next month? 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.

"For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men who suppress the truth in unrighteousness..."--Romans 1:18

IN THE NOVEMBER-DECEMBER ISSUE OF THE LAMPLIGHTER MAGAZINE, THE EVANGELICAL LUTHERAN CHURCH OF AMERICA (ELCA) VOTED TO ALLOW GAYS AND LESBIANS IN "COMMITTED" RELATIONSHIPS TO BE ORDAINED AS CLERGY. ELCA IS NOW APOSTATE, AND THAT MEANS THE ELCA CHURCHES HAVE TO MAKE UP THEIR MINDS, WHETHER TO BE APOSTATE OR GET OUT OF THE APOSTATE ELCA AND FORM CHURCHES INDEPENDENT OF THIS GODLESS, IMMORAL DENOMINATION. THERE CAN BE NO FENCE STRADDLING ON THIS ISSUE. ELCA CHURCHES AND MEMBERS, CHOOSE THIS DAY WHOM YOU WILL SERVE, CHRIST OF THE BIBLE, OR BAAL OF THE ASHTORETH, GOD OR THE DEVIL, JESUS OR BEELZEBUB? IF YOU STAY WHERE YOU ARE, IN THIS PERVERSION CALLED THE ELCA, YOU ARE COMPLICIT, YOU ARE GUILTY, NO MATTER HOW MUCH YOU PRAY AND PREACH ABOUT RECONCILIATION AND LOVE AND PEACE--YOU ARE NOTHING BUT DEVIL-WORSHIPPERS. LET THE ELCA GO DOWN IN THE PIT WHERE IT BELONGS--AND SPEEDILY TOO.

Another atrocity perpetrated by the same EVANGELICAL LUTHERAN CHURCH OF AMERICA denomination, its bishops laying a wreath on the tomb of Yassir Arafat, the arch-terrorist who blew up airliners and financed suicide bombers in Israel!

"ElCA and Canadian Bishops Lay Wreath at Grave of Yasser Arafat," VINE AND BRANCHES, Spring 2009: "This past January, 44 ELCA and Canadian bishops, along with spouses and staff, totaling about 90 people made a "peace trip" to the West Bank. Among the highlights of their trip was laying a wreath at the tomb of terrorist Yasser Arafat i n Ramallah.

"According to Mike D. Tooley, who directs the United Methodist committee at the Institute on Religion and Democracy, the Lutheran bishops' visit was hosted by Lutheran Bishop Munib Younan. Younan parrots the Hamas line about Israel forcing Christians from the West Bank, when, in fact, it is Hamas and Fatah, not Israel, that has driven Christians from the West Bank. Younan also complained that pro-Israel Christians in the U.S. 'believe more in Israel than they do in Jesus.' [WHICH IS A BLATANT LIE, SINCE THEY WOULD CARE NOTHING FOR ISRAEL, AS DO MOST ALL GENTILES, EXCEPT FOR JESUS!--Ed.]"

Have you been viewing the Classic Billy Graham evangelistic meetings on TV? They are absolute right on the money! Every word rings absolutely true of us now in 2010, after even decades! It was the Word of God being preached without stops to his wayward nation of sinners--and it is still the Word of God. We did not repent, we did not change our ways, we did not turn back to God, but continued on sinning and abandoning the Bible and pushing God out of our individual and corporate lives. For that reason, this is the final call from God: these messages called Billy Graham classics. We will have NO EXCUSE before Almighty God in the judgment. America's fate is written on the wall on the palace of King Belshazzar in Babylon, and like them then we are having a big party and a banquet, with every kind of immorality, excess, and even prideful blasphemy going on! The Babylonians could teach us nothing in that regard, we have the Bible yet we have exceeded them.

Big Bad Wolf Business Center:

Big business is being fantatically demonized by the Left today, as they want to get all the economy and private sectors into their control, so they can tax us into servitude for their own profit and power. Big Unions are Big Bad Wolves too, particularly the government unions. However bad a corporation acts, it should not be taken over by goverment, but dealt with by the law and the anti-trust legislation if need be. Government will not solve the problems in business, it will only exacerbate them and create a worse monster. We need Big Business, and we need even more Small Business, for it is Small Business that creates the jobs, and Big Business creates much fewer in number. The Democrats, the Liberals, and the Obama Consortium in power target Small Business just as much as Big Business. They aim at control, power, personal wealth for themselves, and regard both sectors as legitimate prey. So more government control and supervision are definitely not the way to go!

Don't think that prayer can be left to the ladies and for little girls, men! You are called to prayer, first and foremost! It is your chief responsibility, even above providing for your family, though you must support your family, or your prayers are worthless. Without prayer you and your household cannot be blessed, not to the degree God wants to bless them. So then, let us men humble ourselves and get to prayer, daily, with a reading of a portion of God's word. But there is a condition. Are we clean when we start to pray, or sin-soaked and filthy? We need to be clean if we are to expect answers. So when we start praying, let's ask God to cleanse us of our sins, cover us with Jesus's cleansing Blood, and then proceed to other business we have on our hearts. A website for praying men that will help us, that recommends how to do it most effectively in plain terms:

GLOBAL WARMING HOAX CENTER:

From the Lamplighter Magazine:

Are Carbon Emissions killing us? Are they killing the Earth itself? Katie Morris shows these claims of the Left and the Radicals of Environmentalism are hogwash. Carbon Dioxide is actually life-sustaining and vital to life! Read how and become informed:

"Carbon Emissions--Are You Afraid?" by Katie Morris, Prophetic Vision Magazine, Fall 2009

Carbon Dioxide, or CO2 is vital to life! It is not a pollutant, which it has been branded by the Evironmental Protection Agency under Obama's watch. Labelled a pollutant, CO2 emissions can be taxed and vast wealth will be transferred to so-called "green" businesses and technologies, which will not create anything we can use except with huge government subsidies, which actually sucks vast amounts of money out of the economy that would otherwise have gone to creating real jobs and wealth. A geologist has studied this now government-sponsored hoax, that CO2 is a pollutant, which using to ram punitive Cap and Trade legislation through Congress, and you can learn the true facts about carbon dioxide by going to:

They are even asking in the halls of Congress: "Where is Al Gore?" as the East is beseiged by record ice and snow. The records have been broken all the way back to the 19th century! The obvious reason for his silence and disappearance is that he is hiding low, afraid to acknowledge his hoaxing the world for the sake of his own personal gain. He has made multiple millions from his hoax. This despicable charlatan has led to the near collapse of our nation, due to the "Green Agenda" which has kept us from oil exploration and from developing our known resources including coal in order to "save the planet" and reduce our carbon emissions. This man ought to be tried in court for what he has done to us all. He needs to be fined and made to pay back every dollar he has made from his Global Warming hoax and scam!

Plants Need CO2

DON'T CONFUSE THEM WITH THE FACTS: Witness the small amount of news coverage about the scandal over the latest exposure the Climate Change Fraud and Conspiracy. This is the Watergate of Climate Change or Global Warming. You would normally expect it to get wide coverage, but it is not provoking much reaction in the liberal press, which obviously wants to suppress the incident as soon as possible. I am referring to the 13,000 NASA emails just release a few days ago by hackers who hacked into the "sacred ivy halls" of climate change wizards at East Anglia University in England, which has caused some scientific eyebrows to lift concerning these crooked "scientists" who acknowledged in their emails misgivings over their decades of cooking the weather data to support the Global Warming agenda and hoax the world into a stampede to reduce carbon emissions--well, this is commonly referred to in low class society as "excrement hitting the fan." But the excrement, or dog poop if you don't understand my euphemism, this time is flying in the direction of the liberals, leftists (including Barack Obama) who are promoting the gigantic hoax and stand to gain most by it politically and financially. This is the truth of God, the righteousness of God, convicting them and revealing them for what they are: crooks, robbers, oppressors, and liars. These people ought to be tried in a court and sentenced to writing on blackboards, over and over, at least ten thousand times: "Thou shalt not bear false witness."

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.

How about us being a witness? I tried, and said, "Jesus loves you!" to the guy who stands at the counter at the local AM-PM gasseroni, and he smiled. He is an Easterner, I think from India, so probably has an Eastern religion like the Sikh or Hinu or Buddhist religion. He needs Christ, not diversity and tolerance and understanding from a cowardly Christian like myself. How about if he should go to hell, and at the brink turn and point to me, ME, and say with absolute truth: "You had many chances coming to the station where I worked to tell me that Jesus loves me and wants to save my soul, but you kept silent all those times and chances you had, so now I am going to this awful place to suffer forever, thanks to you!"

Got an English literature book handy or at a local library? Go on-line, it will be there too. Look up Alfred, Lord Tennyson, the British Poet Laureate. You won't find his equal today, not even close to him. He wrote the "Lady of Shalott," "In Memoriam," "Ulysses," "Break, Break, Break," "Crossing the Bar," King Arthur, "Idylls of the King" concerning King Arthur and many, many other memorable poems and lyrics, but he also struggled with the central issues of our society today, the struggle between "science" or secularist and evolutionist theory and Christian faith. In connection, especially read his poem "Lockesley Hall." Please see our comments concerning Charles Darwin further on down this page.

"Poems That Speak," the unabridged texts of masters of literature in poetry, with comments by Ronald Ginther

Can a film about the coronation of Elizabeth II in June 1953 be considered a literary work? Perhaps it can, as it is so well crafted as to be a work of art, and a script was written by Sir Rank for the production, and the coronation in Westminister Abbey itself was most carefully scripted and staged, every move accounted for by the Queen and the nobles and the high churchmen present, not to mention the ceremonial royal court guards and officials in attendance. Nothing was left to chance, it was all orchestrated and staged and rehearsed, then finally produced and filmed before the whole watching world. Within five days the film was completed and copied and on its way to the whole world, after the coronation itself was viewed on TV as one of the first great events of the TV world audience. I saw the film in its entirety the other night on public TV. It is unforgettable in its pomp and majesty and solemnity. But what strikes me most is that the whole affair was Christian from start to finish. There can be no question about it. You can also say, without question, that Britain was a Christian nation in 1953, the monarchy was Christian, and that a Christian Queen received the monarch's Christian crown.

The vows that Elizabeth II, ER (Elizabeth Regina), took before she was fully installed as Queen of England, Scotland, and Wales, were Christian, administered to her by the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Chief Primate of the Church of England. She vowed to uphold the Gospel of Jesus Christ. She also vowed to cherish and defend the rights of the Protestant Church of Scotland and the Church of England. Moreover, if this was not enough to establish her as a Christian monarch, she was handed and entrusted with her royal insignia: five ceremonial swords, and robes of highest royalty, and special bracelets, and the arched crown with a cross on it. An orb or globe representing the world was handed her too, which had a cross on top, signifying, Sir Rank narrated, the world under the Lordship and dominion of Jesus Christ. She was anointed by the highest churchmen before she received the insignia. After receiving them, she was given communion, remembering the Lord Jesus Christ, with her husband the Duke of Edinburgh at her side. Each time she was asked if she would defend and promote the Gospel and the Churches, she solemnly replied, "I will."

We all know that since 1953 Britain had abandoned God and fled from the churches, leaving them to be sold and "converted to" pubs or cafes or cinemas. We know that even the Archbishop of Canterbury has turned apostate, questioning the Resurrection, the need for Christ to die on the Cross, and other primary doctrines of the Christian faith. We should know that Prince Charles, the Prince of Wales, who was present as a little boy at the coronation along with his sister, Princess Anne, has broken every vow he later vowed to his mother the Queen in his installation as Prince of Wales. He shamelessly broke his marriage vows too as he openly committed adultery with a lover while married to Princess Diane, and then continued the relationship with his "partner" for years until they recently married in order to dignify the shoddy affair. Religiously, he has turned apostate and disavowed the Christianity of Britain, saying that he would not be a Defender of the Faith as His mother is titled, but would be a "defender of faith," which means all faiths, so that he makes himself a New Age religionist, not a Christian. How then could he take the same Christian vows as his mother took in Westminster Cathedral in the hours long ceremony in June 1953? The only answer is: he could not. He would be lying on all counts if he said he would do the things she committed herself to doing in order to become England's "undoubted Queen." Is he prepared to lie in order to become king? We shall see. He has already proved himself a man of low character and no desire to keep his own vows and marriage contract and ceremony witnessed by almost a billion people. But if he balks at outright lying to gain the throne vacated by his mother (God forbid she should die and he exercise the next in line's first right to it), will he not be forced to have the vows reworded and made non-Christian and thus, all-inclusive? They surely will have to change the vows radically to say what they do not say now, that in the royal coronation ceremony established by law Britain is a Christian nation, and that the monarch will defend the Christian Gospel and the Christian churches of Britain.

Will the radical, secularizing regime of Britain presently in charge (with the prime ministers Tony Blair, Major, and now Gordon Brown) have sufficient arrogance and pride to enable it force this complete markeover of Britain's identity and laws and constitutional monarchy? We shall see, won't we? Perhaps if Prince Charles becomes king, it will be because he has already worked with others to force the makeover, so that he can legitimately ascend the throne his Christian mother, a Christian Queen, occupied. Perhaps she will be the last Christian monarch of Christian Britain, and after her apostasy will reign supreme?

Christians of Britain, it is high time to overturn the secularizers that oppress and are dooming your nation to certain destruction. However you do it, it must be done. Thomas Jefferson said that he favored revolution in America every ten years or so, to reinstate liberties that would be lost. Well, we have not had a revolution in over 250 years, and our liberties, even our Constitutional guaranteed liberties and the Bill of Rights, are virtually lost to an authoritarian government's usurpations. Will Britain and her offshoot, the U.S.A., sink together into the abyss of authoritarianism and slavery and apostasy? It seems to be happening right now, at the present hour. God save the Queen and Britain! God save America and the freedoms and liberties that are our inalienable rights, granted us by Almighty God! We have passed far beyond the point where mere men could save these two nations of ours.

(Sorry we are 2 months late in posting the Meditations! For the whole of the Beatitudes, please go to Matthew 5). Incidentally, in memory of Kathleen Lawrence-Smith, our friend of many years, we donated to Daystar Television Network for an olive tree to be planted in Israel, and guess where it is being planted (without our thinking of these Beatitudes listed on the back of this Anchored)--the Mount of Beatitudes! Is that coincidental? Yet here is another interesting "coincidence." The last issue that Kathleen Lawrence-Smith completed, the Autumn Issue of 2009, had these three verses at the end of the December meditations: Dec. 13--Those that be planted in the house of the Lord, shall flourish in the courts of our God. They shall still bring forth fruit in old age; Dec. 20--Behold...a candlestick [signifying the Holy Spirit]...and two olive trees by it. This is the word of the Lord...Not by might, nor by power, but by My spirit saith the Lord. Zech. 4:2/6; Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone. But if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit.--John 12:24. We cannot Kathleen Lawrence-Smith my dear friend's replacement, but passing to glory in her early nineties, she indeed bore much fruit, and is still bearing from the tree she planted of her ministry!

This magazine is excellent, and free of charge, edited by Pastor David R. Barnhart. You will get wonderful articles about what faith in God really is, biblically, in terms of the front-line issues of homosexuality in the churches, feminism, apostasy, the persecution of Christians, and the threat of Islam to all Western society.

There is also the article of a Jewish writer cited, that tells of Lincoln's love for Jerusalem, and his desire to travel there, expressed to his wife. David R. Barnhart's blog features the Lincoln article and the link to it.

David Barnhard's Blog for the Lincoln article

David Barnhart also wrote an article about the Reformation that we need to take heed to especially now, 495 years since Martin Luther contronted the Roman Catholic church and Papacy for the gross errors of its faulty, unbiblical theology as well as its venal corruption shown in sales of indulgences to bring in huge amounts of German money to finance the building of St. Peters in Rome. Pastor Barnhart cites the contested issues centered around grace, faith, and the imposition of ecclesiastical authority over the authority of the Bible. In a number of ways, the churches are in worse shape then they were in Luther's day, Pastor Barnhart points out, since now the core teachings of the Christian faith are being compromised and even rejected by theologians and churches:

From the Levitt Letter, January 2010 Issue:

"The Jew is that sacred being who has brought down from heaven the everlasting fire, and has illumined with it the entire world. He is the religious source, spring, and fountain out of which all the rest of the peoples have drawn their beliefs and their religions. The Jew is the pioneer of liberty. The Jew is the pioneer of civilization. The Jew is the emblem of eternity."--Leo Tolstoy, 1828-1910

I doubt anyone can exceed or surpass this tribute! All I can say is: WOW! If you don't know the Russian history, you might think the Jews has an exalted status in Russia. Wrong! They were treated as the dregs of society, pushed down as far as human beings can go, and kept their by the brutal authorities, including the Cossacks. Restricted to only a certain part of Russia, they were not permitted to travel or engage in business freely beyond those borders, called the Pale. Do you recall that old expression, "beyond the pale," well it came from this Jewish ghetto area of Russia.

Persecution continued despite this seclusion of the Jewish population. Purges, or mass killings and burnings of Jewish villages was carried out ever so often by the autocratic Czars and their barbaric underlings whenever they felt like it. The Jews are still being mistreated in Russia! For all the Soviet years they were kept from escaping to the West and to Israel, held hostage, in other words, simply because they were Jewish and longed to be free of poverty and communist oppression. The door was opened to the Jews to leave at last when the Soviet Union collapsed. But the persecution continues for those who have not yet emigrated for Israel and varous Western countries including America, often with only a few pieces of clothes to their names and very little money. "The emblem of eternity," "the pioneer of liberty"-- that is how the Jew is treated both in Russia and across the world--worse than dogs. The world's nations will be held responsible for this mistreatment, which is utterly undeserved. America now is coming under that same judgment, for anti-semitism is being spread under the umbrella of liberalism. Christian faith (the true kind) appreciates, loves, and values the Jews for all they are and have contributed to our faith and to the civilization at large, but liberalism, for all its trumpeting of tolerance and diversity, is at heart racist, bigoted, and anti-semitic, since is it godless and hates anyone or any group that has such a long connection with the One True God, as the Jews have had and demonstrated.

Is Russia worse in its anti-semitism than us? Perhaps. But we will be reaching their level of atrocities if we keep going against God in this society. The Jews who found this Christian nation a safe haven for the last 250 years will be forced to flee to Israel. Years ago I had a dream while attending Bible school. It seemed at the time to be very farfetched, as nothing of the kind was happening in America, or was not reported anyway. In my dream I saw some downtown of a big but run-down American city, looking dreary and like so many rust-belt cities of the north whose economies have declined from losing their manufacturing, and some people in the street had yellow stars sewn on their clothes, and of course that means they are forced to identify themselves as Jews. I could tell they were a persecuted people, in America! This was unthinkable then, but I told this dream to my Bible school director, and he did not think it was impossible or he would have said so. Well, it has come to pass! Jews are being persecution across America, as well as in Britain, and of course in Europe, in France particularly. So move over Russia, America will soon be sitting right alongside you in the ranks of the anti-semitic nations! Shame on us, shame on the U.S.!

If we think that Christianity, or "Churchianity", also called "Christendom," is without anti-semitism, think again. Christianity has been one of the very worst anti-semitic organizations on earth. Why? It got started early on the Early Church, then was later on propagated by the Church Fathers, or the great theologians on up to Martin Luther and Calvin in Reformation days. Hitler drew great inspiration from Martin Luther's diatribes against the Jews. Read what Martin Luther wrote, and you can easily see why. You should also see what the other Church Fathers had to say, though truly not all Church Fathers so-called subscribed to anti-semitism. Unfortunately, the main leaders of the Early Church did--and once started downhill, this snowball grew and grew, until you reach the incredible atrocities of the Spanish Inquisition, which methodically tortured and killed Jews and forced thousands to flee their adopted homelands all across Europe. King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella in Spain began the Spanish persecution, but it continued long after them, right into the 20th century, and is still showing no signs of abating, as it is now reviving world-wide, as anti-semitic incidents (beating of Jews, burnings and bombings of synagogues and Jewish social centers, anti-Jewish grafitti, even massacres (such as recently in Seattle, Washington at the Jewish Federation Headquarters building and the attack on the Jewish Holocaust center in New York Center) killings increase in Western nation after nation and world-wide.

The tribesmen and villagers of the remote places of the jungles of Papua New Guinea tell their own stories of how they came to faith in Jesus Christ--and they are most amazing stories. Imagine an old, dying man, Alimpu, who is unable to stop coughing for long periods, and is just skin and bones. He hasn't got long, but what he longs to do before he is baptized as a new Christian is to burn his "dog spirit bag" which contains his ancestral beliefs in magical plants, bones, etc. He wants to do it in the presence of everyone in the village center, but is too sick to get there. A missionary prays for strength for Alimpu, and the next thing he hears is that Alimpu is walking with a big stick to help him, and is headed for the village center with his dog spirit bag. There he burns it, joined by two other men who also give up their ancestral beliefs in spirits and magic for the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

This is just one of the stories, with much greater detail and Alimpu's own words as he tells what Jesus had done for him. He knows! He can explain what exactly his salvation is all about. Can we? Can I? It would be hard to beat this old tribesman, who hasn't had a day of schooling in his life.

Prophetic Vision On-Line

From the Prophetic Vision magazine, this wonderful, Bibical article about Carbon Emissions:

"Carbon Emissions--Are You Afraid?" by Katie Morris

The same people who put out Midnight Call put out this small but punch-delivering magazine, News From Israel. In the December 2009 issue, along with fascinating archeological finds in Israel, and the news that an Israeli film producer won the Venice Prize with his '82 Lebanon War Film, you can find the article about Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's Jewish birth. Can you imagine that? Converted to Islam (if this is true), he has turned on his own people and Israel and seeks to destroy them? This is quite possible! Arch-fiend Ahmadinejad says repeatedly that he wants to exterminate the Jewish race and utterly destroy Israel. We know of another famous person who might well have committed the same crime of anti-semitism and genocide. Hitler too was not named Hitler at birth, that was his political name he took. His birth name was Shickelgruber (his mother's name, as his father's relations with his mother was questionable), and he seems to have been illegitimate, so he should bear his mother's name. Later, when he gained power, he demolished his home that would serve as evidence for that fact. Anyone who dared call attention to his possible Jewish blood and his mother, or simply called him Herr Schickelgruber, brought death to himself by being carted off and faced a brutal torture and execution by the Gestapo. Hitler did not want his real birth circumstances and ancestry known. He was also Austrian, not German, but utterly lacking the "gemutlichkeit" or conviviality of the southern Germans and Austraians championed the blue-eyed, blonde Aryan Super Race, using eugenics in special centers to breed this horrific race from the best specimens they could find in the German population. I have read an accounts of one of the misguided women who was a breeder in one of those eugenics, Margaret Sanger inspired centers in Nazi Germany. Where did he get his cockeyed, unscientific Aryan Super Race ideas? He sent agents over to study Margaret Sanger, the crazed American eugenicist who is known as the founder of Planned Parenthood. Yes, none other than our tax-supported Planned Parenthood abortion provider, which thanks in large part to our stolen tax dollars and a thieving Congress full of conscienceless, reprobate Congressmen and Congresswomen is the biggest abortion industry in the world! That shows the clear connection with her and the extermination of the feeble-minded, and "unfit races", which her work promoted whether she said she favored outright, Nazi-style extermination death camps for not. Back when he was a youth trying to make his way in the cosmopolitan Austrian capital Vienna (for he was Austrian, not German), Austrian Jews kept him alive, feeding him and giving aid to this struggling art student who, paying them back by unleashing woe to the Jews wherever they lived in Europe, later would abandon art and capitalize on his orating and political skills to become the dictator of Germany. So too with this horrible Iranian president? Is he also hiding his Jewish roots? Go and see, read this article. You can obtain it by writing to News from Israel, P.O. Box 280008, Columbia, SC 29228.

Though you have to take a dose of this magazine's humanist bias along with the rest, the archeology is good, since it is conducted by trained professionals in the very important science of digging up the past and classifying it. Many things in the scriptures have been confirmed by archeology. Yes, there have been blunders and wrong interpretations of certain sites and findings at them (some archeologists leaping to conclusions that would verify the Bible, rather than letting the facts speak for themselves first), but by and large archeology has confirmed countless details that were formerly mystifying or even thought too incredible to be believed in the Bible. The magazine is also mercifully cheap, so you don't have to spend a lot for it.

I hope you understand that I have good reason to brag on my wonderful mother, Mrs. Pearl A. Ginther, who is 100 years, 4 months, and two weeks old, and still going strong for the Lord! She has been supporting Tacoma Seafarer's Center since 1972, which means regular attendance at the auxiliary and working on the Christmas gifts every year faithfully that are distributed to the sailors aboard ships by the thousand or more each year. The Center's volunteers and chaplains perform all sorts of loving services to the sailors from the container ships from dozens of foreign countries who come for help and recreation and doctor care and trips to the mall for shopping. They also use the internet service to contact their wives and families across the oceans, loved ones they haven't seen for months in many cases. This center shows it cares, so that the sailors will want to know why they care so much for them: then they have chances to share Jesus the Savior with these men, who wouldn't care to inquire otherwise. The Gospel is shared with them, and the converted men spread the Gospel to their shipmates, and thus Christ is gathering sailors to himself from all over the globe. This unique ministry is the best place to put your buck you can imagine. It has a world-wide ministry on a shoestring budget. A bunch of grandpas and grandmas from all sorts of churches, volunteering their time and efforts, just to help sailors come to the loving Savior Jesus Christ. It doesn't take a lot of money or a lot of degrees or big buildings, it just takes willing hearts who love Jesus more than themselves and their own convenience!

"Was Bob Dylan really converted? Bob Dylan is still an icon, and was the rage of the '60s Woodstock generation, and along with Joan Baez, and thought to be a singer, if somewhat twangy and nasal in his vocal chords, a minstrel of the the coming Age of Aquarius when everything would be, supposedly, peace and harmony and good pot. He rode that heady wave of the Flower Children Revolution for years, but finally it ebbed and he was growing noticeably older and sinking lower, and then, shock of shock, he converted to Christianity. I recall the snide, even nasty radio reviews of his latest "Christian" releases such as "Saved." Why did his former fans scorn his music? There can be no other reason. He dared to come out with music about his accepting Christ as his Savior. He expressed his newfound faith without any hedging or trying to compromise it. He collaborated on one album with Johnny Cash, singing Christian songs. He did not shrink from producing outspoken messages about his Lord and Savior, with clearly an evangelical belief system. If he had hidden his faith, and been insincere, they might have kept buying his music and going to his concerts. That says more about them than him--for he was utterly sincere, for a time at least. I have a tape of his songs titled "Saved." He was Jewish, but he said he was now "saved." Side 1's songs are: "A Satisfied Mind," "Saved," "Covenant Woman," "What Can I Do For You?", "Solid Rock." The songs on Side 2 are: "Pressing On," "In the Garden," "Saving Grace," "Are You Ready?"

I have heard that since then he shrank back, which is a tragic thing if he did, having once known Christ and the truth. If so, he became popular again for that reason. The fact is he has become immensely popular again. He is a living "legend," an "icon," and can enjoy this fame as long as he doesn't again name Jesus Christ to his vast audience of fans. The Pope even praised his music and he made a pilgrimage to Rome to meet and speak with the "Holy Father." How could a Jew do that? But Bob Dylan did. Since he was always, always on the cutting edge of societal revolution and change, perhaps he is again years ahead of his time when soon the Jews will bend to the Global Religious System of the New World Order of the Anti-Christ, giving allegiance to it until the moment when the Anti-Christ goes into the new Third Temple in Jerusalem and sits and declares himself God--which is the Abomination of Desolation spoken of by Daniel and recalled in his Olivet prophecies by Jesus Christ just before his crucifixion and death. At that moment, if any lapsed Christians turned back to Judaism such as Bob Dylan are present, they will see the orthodox Jews revolt and riot against the Anti-Christ, bringing down upon the Jewish people and nation the worst persecution they have ever experienced outside of the Holocaust of the 1940's in Nazi-ruled Europe.

We have a ton of wonderful quizzes, but where is the time to give them to you who love quizzes? Sorry! I really mean it! I want to get those quizzes to you, so I pray God will give me an extra hour in the day somehow, just as he lengthened the day for Joshua. God shows no partiality, right? I can ask, can't I?--Ed.

Michael Youssef, Leading the Way Ministries:

"Nothing will unite us like the Gospel."

"Obedience to the Word of God brings joy that produces fruit."

Michael A Youssef's Three Tests:

1. Do I give my full loyalty to Christ?

2. Do I love (and forgive) others like Christ loves (and forgives) me?

3. Do I live my life for Jesus, regardless the cost?

Now if those basic questions don't humble us, and put us back in need of the Lord for everything we are and do, then nothing will help us!

Emergency Help for Haiti Center:

We must not forget Haiti, as it will be a long time before the destruction is cleared away. But we must also help Chile if we can, which has just suffered an 8.8 mega-quake, with the death toll of hundreds mounting. Our own personal resources as individuals may be extreely limited, but yet our prayer resources are unlimited, are they not? If we hear of these people in distress and do nothing, not even pray as a Christian ought, then we are guilty of the sin of omission. Wait until a quake strikes us, will we receive mercy and help then? We must be merciful, to receive mercy. That is what Christ said, in the message about the Beatitudes. "Blessed are the mercy, for they shall receive mercy." Isn't that clear enough for us to do something now for Chile, and for Haiti too fi we have failed to do so before, choosing to put our own priorities and convenience first?

Our top military men and the head of the Defense Department, Gates, are not about to do what the military have done to relieve starvation in Haiti in a quick and efficient way. Tens of thousands of people who were most vulnerable, the sick, the maimed, orphaned infants and little children, perished needlessly because Gates would not okay the drop of nutritious granola bar packs randomly across the hardest hit areas of the capital of Haiti. This news is not being given coverage, except that I heard a radio talk host speak of it and how he had tried desperately to contact dozens of Congressmen and other officials to do something now to stop the needless deaths of Haitian earthquake victims by starvation. Military food drops of granola bars did it in Afghanistan and Bosnia, so why not Haiti? It's a lot closer to our warehouses too! Just a hour away from Miami where there is more food than Haiti would ever need. Apparently, there is concern that someone might be hit on the head by a granola pack. Oh, my! Another lawsuit to worry about? But that is better than starving to death, isn't it? This shows the utter paralysis of the cognitive functions of our top government and military personnel. The military are really not to blame, however. They can only do what the bigshots (no pun intended, though the pun is well taken) in the Pentagon dictate and allow, and these overpaid bureaucrats in prestigious offices in the Pentagon are bending over backwards to keep our military presence at a minimum so as not to offend the "Haitian government," a fictional proposition if there ever was one. Drops of granola bars could have been done within hours of the earthquake. Our emergency food agencies and big grocery outlets are packed with millions of these bars--but there they sit! There they sit, useless, when they could have saved thousands of Haitians' lives. Way to go, Secretary Gates! This is the Government leadership which we can depend upon in an emergency? This is the Government that Obama wants to enlarge and take over most of the private sector in America "in order to serve us better"? Ronald Reagan said it best: "Government doesn't have a problem. Goverment IS the problem!"

Keep the graphic above in mind. Those could be your hands, my hands, next time a disaster hits without warning. Jesus said such things would happen in the last days, which we are definitely in. Then afterwards He would come back to take his own up in the Rapture. Are you ready? Am I? We know that God will be with us, if we are his children, in both disasters and in the Rapture of the saints. Let us walk closely with Him, and be prepared in both cases!

What happened to Haiti could happen to us--total devastation of our nation. Who will help us, if we now turn a blind eye to what is going on in Haiti, where a 7.0 earthquake has all but leveled most of the capital Port au Prince, affecting as many as 9 million people. We have noticed how China and other such authoritarian societies are the last to help such countries in their distress, but the U.S. was right there within days, with aid money, ships, planes, etc. Even before the earthquake leveled the capital, their infrastructure already was in the worst shape imaginable, raw sewage pouring into the city's water supply. Now three hospitals are demolished, the National Parliament mostly collapsed, a prison collapsed and the inmates escaped, whole blocks of houses leveled, not a house standing in them. No clean water to speak of before the quake, non-existent now. No water to drink, good or bad, except rain water perhaps. It is raining, no shelter for the crowds huddling in the streets and makeshift shelters, with exposure to the cold at night, with untreated wounds and traumas and even missing limbs. Hundreds of thousands feared dead, babies lying dead on the street, along with women and men's corpses, with just a sheet over them. The countryside fared much better, but the cities are wrecked. The Catholic Archbishop dead in his office, other offices of international aid agencies and the United Nations collapsed and buried under debris, many of the people missing. The French ministry alone in this French speaking country lost hundreds of personnel, as they are missing. The horror cannot be fully comprehended, for it is not known just how bad it really is. But God knows! He knows it all, and He is full of mercy and help. But we must do whatever we can, as Christians--for we are his hands and feet and checkbook. We can at least send money to the ministries and aid agencies. Here are just a couple that are reputable:

CBN's Operation Blessing *(which is right now in Port au Prince with medicines and a transport truck). Call and support them with any amount by calling 1-800-759-0700. Or simply text 90999 and then text HAITI. $10 will automatically go to the Red Cross for Haiti emergency aid, billed to your tel. server. TBN also is accepting contributions for Haiti aid, and will get it to Friend Ships and other Christian emergency aid ministries affiliated with TBN. You can go to TBN on-line and give, or call TBN.

DON'T GET CAUGHT UP IN THE LIBERALS' SNARE: There is a firestorm of controversy going on at the same time as the relief measures for Haiti over Pat Robertson's remarks about the pact made reputedly by the early leaders of Haitian independence. Do not be caught up in this manufactured controversy used by the liberal media to seek to divide the evangelicals and derail their efforts to come together to help Haiti. The liberal media care little or nothing for Haiti and its suffering and care much more about tar and feathering, if they can, Pat Robertson, who is their number one target of their spite and hatred, now that Pastor Jerry Falwell has passed from the scene and is no longer available as a prime target of the liberals' slingshots of outright calumny and purposeful, egregrious misquotations. The outcry and outrage of the liberals is hypocritical in the extreme in Robertson's case, just as it was in Falwell's. They don't care about whether Robertson's remarks, that Haiti has been cursed for all its history as an independent nation (a rather plausible enough conclusion, when you look at it objectively!), are true or not. They want only to destroy and silence Pat Robertson, one of the chief evangelicals in televison ministry. They want to stop the proclamation of the Gospel even at the cost of shutting down the world-wide aid he gives to countless orphans and the poor and the sick through distribution of food, medicines, and urgent medical care via his network's teams of doctors. Myself, I do not know if there is a curse based on the decisions of those early Haitian leaders. I do not know if they made a pact with the devil to get his help to tear free of the colonialist Spanish or French. I haven't researched the issue. I just know for certain that the targeting of evangelicals by liberals is always based on a smokescreen hiding their true motives and sinister objectives. They don't care a fig if God's honor is impugned by Robertson's remarks about a curse being laid on Haiti due to their early leader's pact with the Devil. They don't care about God, as they don't believe in God. Right? Right! As for a curse, what do they care about that? A double naught! What they really care about is this remark from Robertson about such a curse and history of a pact of with the devil in Haiti long ago gives them the fuel to ignite a storm to direct against the evangelicals, to discredit them all due to what Robertson said, when actually he is just repeating views that have been around a long time before he came on the scene. Christians, this is the enemy, the Devil and his little lock-step minions in the secularist media, seeking to divide and conquer. Divide and conquer whom? Us Christians, naturally. Us evangelicals in particular! So let us not jump so hastily on their bandwagon of hate, or join their long-term, mafia-like vendetta against Pat Robertson. If what he repeated is true, the facts will come out for it in time. If it isn't, it will be forgotten and pass away as anything untrue will eventually. Leave it to God and time! Take the enemy's firepower away from him, by not falling for his tactics of divide and conquer. We all know a pact with the Devil is entirely possible, for the Devil offered a pact with Jesus Christ in the Temptation in the wilderness soon after his baptism by John the Baptist and at the conclusion of his 40 day fast. Jesus refused to make such a pact, to worship the Devil in exchange for the Devil giving him the kingdoms of the world and all their glory. Well, if the Devil could offer a pact that far back, and the Devil, we know, never does anything new, couldn't he be doing the same thing today, offering his goodies in exchange for worship? Surely, he is doing that very thing, not only to individuals, but whole nations. We see the godless, anti-Christian European Union growing daily in strength and constituent states. If any empire has made a pact with the Devil in order to gain power and wealth and stability and cohesion, it is this European Union! Just look at one of their favorite logos they use for their government buildings and even the Brennan Pass "Europe Bridge"? It is Europa riding a bull, signifying the rape of a young girl by a bull [which is the Greek god Zeus]. You find this same decadent, immoral myth in statuary outside the European Union Parliament building in Brussells, Belgium! If that isn't an effront to Almighty God, what else could it be?

Haiti, whether or not it made a pact with the devil and was cursed by God or the Devil, has undeniably suffered hideously, catastrophically, from wicked corrupt rulers and dictators right up to the truly demonic (which the press at this time heartily acknowledged, as I recall) Papadoc Duvalier and his bombshell-shaped son and heir. Let the present-day secularist Liberals have fits about our using "demonic" to describe any such black magic and Voodoo-energized ruler. The fact is, they were evil beyond human agency. Also, you cannot quickly undo the damage inflicted on a society and the land itself by hundreds of years of corrupt misgovernment and the ecological devastation that the people wreaked on their landscape in order to scratch out a subsistent living after the government reduced them to absolute poverty and misery. 10,000 aid organizations have been working in Haiti for years, and the U.S. before that tried to build an infrastructure for a viable state--you know, passable roads, electricity, water, sewage mains, schools, hospitals-- but still Hait for all these efforts for generations has remained sunk in a downward spiral of poverty and, yes, voodoo and black magic oppression. The voodoo demonic spirits and principalities and strongholds have lately been dethroned and cast out of their main cult centers on the island nation, due to a concentrated effort of evangelical prayer warriors who claimed the authority over them in the all-powerful Name of Jesus Christ. We know this has happened because of the testimony of Haitian Christian leaders such as Bishop Jeune who has appeared many times on TBN to tell of the Christians' persecution and their intercessory prayer for the end of voodoo and the saving of that nation's people. Voodoo may be dethroned, but surely the culture is steeped in it, and the effects cannot be expunged overnight. It may take another generation before real liberty and release is experienced, and visible signs of improvement are seen. Let us hope and pray it will turn better before then. But until then, let us pray for Haiti and do all that we can, wherever we are, whoever we are. The people do not belong to Satan, whatever their leaders did nor did not do once upon a time. The nation may bear all the horrible signs of an Old Testament era curse on the land and people, but that does not mean it is not broken now, and there is at long last a real chance for recovery and even prosperity and happiness to break out. This spiritual bondage of voodoo can be cured, and is being cured, by faith in Christ our Savior and Lord and Deliverer from all the power of sin, death, and the Devil! The economic woes of Haiti can be reversed, in time, given as much help as we can give. Haiti can be self-supporting, without being made a hopeless welfare recipient of handouts from the international community, as it is called (which really means principally the U.S.). But voodoo and the hold of the demonic princes and powers over Haiti could only be broken by the power of the resurrected Christ, and the economy and the bad government can only be turned around by the power of the same Lord and King over all the earth, including Haiti, the U.S., the United Nations, and the evil empires of the European Union, Communist China, Russia, etc.

We don't have to be used by the secularist Liberals and take the bait of turning on a brother in Christ, Pat Robertson, because of what he said (when it is not proven one way or the other that there is such a curse operating in Haiti or that region of the Caribbean). To do that we would divide our own ranks for the benefit of the atheistic, devil-supporting, anti-Christ enemy, secular liberalism, which wages war on us all in the fold of Christ. We have one command from Our Lord, to love one another, and be quick to forgive the offenses of a brother or sister. Offenses will come, Christ cautioned his disciples. It is how we deal with them, that is the real matter of importance. What would Christ do? He wouldn't attack Pat Robertson viciously if he was actually mistating the situation when he spoke about a curse being inflicted on Haiti by misguided leaders long ago. Instead, the Lord would convict and lead him to repentance, and then help him go forward again. If it is a mistatement, it isn't the first offense by any Christian, and it won't be the last, as we are all fallible in our earthly lives to missteps and errors of judgment. But, thank God for the free Grace and Forgiveness of Jesus Christ our Lord! We don't have to accept condemnation, either by the Devil or the liberals. We can ask forgiveness and be forgiven and not have to condemn ourselves to early graves or flee and spend our last years in a cheap hotel room somewhere where no press or reporter will ever find us. No, we can be restored by the grace of Jesus Christ, which is abundant for all, and given ungrudgingly by our God.

Therefore, putting this ploy of the enemy aside, this controversy over Pat Robertson's remarks, let us unite and join in prayer and action for the sake of the Haitians, who badly need all help from us they can get if they are to survive and find hope for a better day for themselves and their children.

Samaritan's Purse, a ministry of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association, is one of the very finest Christian aid and Gospel organizations, beyond question. They send trauma units right into the midst of every disaster of war, earthquake, and tornado, and flood. They take the Gospel and emergency aid and work teams to help the victims in every way, physically and spiritually. Give to Samaritan's Purse and you don't have to wonder if every dollar isn't being used for those purposes and getting straight to the needy people. There is no delay! They are faster than any government on earth can be, faster than our own government and the armed forces. God bless Samaritan's Purse and all, the doctors, nurses, trauma counsellors, and disaster relief workers of all kinds, most of them volunteers!

"Ten Little Christians"

Ten little Christians, standing in a line,

One disliked the Preacher,

Then there were nine.

Nine little Christians stayed up very late,

One slept Sunday morning,

Then there were eight.

Eight little Christians on the road to heaven,

One took the lower road,

Then there were seven.

Seven little Christians got in a fix,

One disliked the music,

Then there were six.

Six little Christians very much alive,

But one lost her interest,

Then there were five.

Five little Christians wishing there were more,

But they quarreled with each other,

Then there were four.

Four little Christians cheerful as could be,

But one lost his temper,

Then there were three.

Three little Christians knew not what to do,

One joined a sporty crowd,

Then there were two.

Two little Christians, our rhyme is almost done,

Differed with each other,

Then there was one.

One lone Christian won his neighbor true,

Brought him with him to the Churcdh,

Then there were two.

Two earnest Christians, each won one more,

That double their number,

So then there were four.

Four sincere Christians worked very late,

But each won another,

So then there were eight.

But nothing rhymes with 16, so we simply note that in five more rhymes there would be 1,042 Christians, which would be quite a churchfull!--Vernon Leslie Smith

Statistics show that churchgoers do not witness, they simply come to sit and associate with fellow churchgoers, then go home and pretty much act like everybody in the mainstream pagan culture. You could say they are being consistent, not with their claims, but with their lifestyle, of which church only consists of a few hours of their time a week. The rest of their time is devoted to self, the flesh, and the Devil. No wonder there is no witnessing about Jesus going on. I am convicted as well by this, as I do scarcely any witnessing person to person. It is high time I take responsibility for this, as I will face Christ one day soon and have to answer for this!

Jawbone of Judgment Center:

BUILDING TOWARD THE ANTI-CHRIST AND THE NEW WORLD ORDER: Under President Clinton, with his compliance, top secret technological know-how on missile guidance systems was sold to the Red Chinese, who then incorporated this knowledge into their missiles for delivering nuclear warheads against our own cities and Taiwan and anyone else they care to target. Our national security was sold to the Chinese in order to fund the Clinton administration and its political machine. What do you think he is living on now, besides the multiple millions he gets from speaking engagements across America and the globe? Well, it is Chinese yen--hundreds of millions of of yen! We knew this was a fact while it was going on. It happened right out in the open, right during the Clinton administration with the exposure in the liberal media (how did that happen to get out?) that the top secret laptops and their information were missing from Los Alamos, a main center for such information and research. Also, agents right in the government were able to go into top secret labs and walk out with information stuffed into their clothing (even their underwear!). Absolutely nothing was done, as President Clinton had control of the whole operation, and so no one dared to mount an investigation. Can you imagine if the President himself was revealed as the main culprit? It would have brought down the U.S. presidency! The powers behind Clinton could not allow this, as their own agenda for America was at stake, those who are pushing for a reducing of America in power so that a New Age World Government and Order can be fashioned, with America as a mere province of it. This sounds like the wildest End-Time speculation, but we know that the truth is stranger than fiction these days. The greatest lunacies are being swallowed and perpetrated, "Global Warming" is just one of them, so this selling out of U.S. missile technology for money to fund the Clintons is hardly more than a minor blip on the newscape of all the nefarious acts of the One World Order clique in Washington and New York which includes the Bushes, Obama, Kissenger, Ted Turner, and the Foundations and the United Nations. These are the "mighty men, the chiefs and commanders" that Revelations talks about who defy God Almighty, who rail against Jesus Christ, and who dare to assemble all their forces to fight him in the End-Times. These are the leaders! They are fighting Jesus Christ now, and will continue to do so, for money, power, prestige, and the enthronement of Satan himself ultimately in Jerusalem. They are part and parcel of the satanic world system that is gearing up to put Satan on the throne of the world. Deceived into thinking they are serviing the better interest of mankind, to preserve the world from destruction from a nuclear holocaust, they will actually bring the near total destruction of the world under the Anti-Christ.

In her opening address to the Episcopal Church (USA) national convention, held in Anaheim, CA this past July, 'the Most Reverend Bishop and Primate of the Episcopal Church, Dr. Katharine Jefferts Shori,' declared that personal salvation in Jesus Christ is the 'great Western heresy,' as well as a form of idolatry.

In spite of all her education, degrees and titles, Katharine Jefferts Hori is guilty of apostasy, the utter abandonment of the Christian faith.

The fact that Bishop Shori could call personal salvaiton in Jesus Christ 'heresy' and 'idolatry' in an address tot he official governing body of the Episcopal Church without any kind of censure or word of protest fromt he assembled delegates showws clearly that the Episcopal Church (USA) has neither the right nor the reason to be called a 'church.' Bible-believing, Christ-confessing Episcopalians should run from this apostate organization as fast as they can go.

As if to support her heretical views regarding salvation, Bishop Shori invited Emergent Church leader Brian McLaren to address the assembly on evangelism. His convoluted teachings of St. Paul only served to back up Shori's apostasies. In his presentation, McLaren defined evangelism as a call to 'to live and invite others into a radically new way of life...we see evangelism as a way of recruiting early adopters to be part of a radical new beginning for the human race."--Pastor Barnhardt, VINE AND BRANCHES, p. 8.

THIS IS THE SPIRIT OF ANTI-CHRIST, SPEAKING IN BISHOP SHORI, AND ALSO IN HER LITTLE APOSTATE, NEW AGE STOOGE, BRIAN MCLAREN (ANOTHER FALSE TEACHER FROM THE DEVIL).

"Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world. By this you know the Sp;irit of God. Every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God. And every spirit that does not confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is not of God. And this is the spirit of the Antichrist, which yo have heard was coming and is now already in the world. You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world."--I John 4:1-4

A letter of pure hate and destruction may be coming to us direct, maybe in the near future as some prophecies indicate, from Russian missile ranges and also ship-based platforms off our coasts. If the electronics of the military and the whole nation are knocked out by a blast of plutonium from one small, cheap, catalog-ordered missile fired to explode above the midpoint of the country, we would be rendered a quadraplegic, watching helplessly as Russian fighters and bombers zoom in to take out all our defenses and then at their leisure reduce Washington cities to rubble.

The stamp on this card sent from Russia shows a giant Russian rocket during the Soviet era. Russia has brought out since then much more advanced intercontinental missiles carrying nuclear warheads. To use against whom? The U.S. of course! We are again Russia's chief target, even after Obama went to Vladimir Putin, the present dictator Russia and an imperialist seeking to restore Russia's superpower status, offering him everything but the kitchen sink if he would do...what? Obama never got anything in exchange from Putin for dismantling the America's missile defense system project in Poland being built for defending Europe, with our own missiles for self defense thrown in to the waste basket as well, and Obama went away with empty hands, proclaiming peace in our time, though our sworn enemies all across the world were laughing themselves into convulsions at his expense.

"Faith: A Word of Encouragement," by John M. Brown, Founder of Zion Oil and Gas Company, Dallas, Texas

"All Believers: Do you ever find yourself in a difficult situation? Then believe God, and you will see His Glory! Why? Because faith expects from God what is beyond all expectations! This doesn't mean that we lay out a plan of action for Him and then complain when He doesn't follow our plan and He chooses to meet our needs in another way. Real faith does not dictate to God a plan He must follow or His method of intervention. But faith certainly invites His act of intervention in His way and in His time and not ours. the work of an Almighty, Sovereign God is often actually dependent on our level of faith. He often acts in this world in response to faith: The prayers of faith, the obedience of faith, and the attitude of faith. To see the miracle we must "believe it" first. (Psalm 106:24)

'The Lord is good, a stronghold in the day of trouble, and He knoweth them that trust in Him.' (Nahum 1:7)"

Until you die, God isn't through with you or me! Let us get that settled. We are a "work in progress" on the potter's wheel until the Potter decides it is time to take the pot off and put it to use on earth or else take it, perfected, straight to heaven! It is the Potter's choice, beginning to end. But we can surrender our clay or else fight the Potter every turn of the wheel, so that God's hands are kept from doing the work as He intended in the time he first intended. Many more turns of the wheel, that is the result of fighting God's shaping of our clay. Do we want to be turned, turned, turned, until our last gasp? Or will we surrender ourselves into his hands, and let Him shape us as he wills? The process can be made much shorter, according to the Bible record, depending on our degree of cooperation. The Bible speaks of how foolish it is for the clay to argue with the potter. But that is exactly what we, the clay, do! This is a very funny plaque, I am sure you will agree! However there is a serious spiritual truth, that God is the Potter and we are the clay. Once we get that straight, the process of making a pot fit for God's use will go a lot smoother and quicker. So let us say "yes" more often, or try at least, rather than an automatic, stubborn "no way!" "Yes" is wise, "no way!" is awful foolish, and ultimately self-defeating. God is going to have his way with us, whether we cooperate or not. But we can make it more painful and difficult for ourselves if we drag our heels all the way--and who hasn't done that to some extent in various tests and challenges? Wouldn't it be better if we just surrendered, as quickly as we can, rather than fight God? We can't win against God. God has many enemies who tried, but who has ever beaten God? And when God wins, we win! It is a win-win situation when we surrender to His will over our own. Look what Jesus won through surrender to His Father's will! What if he hadn't surrendered. He would still have been the Son of God, but what a different prospect would have faced him--billions of souls would go unsaved to the grave to face eternal hellfire and separation from God. There would have been no Church for him to be the Head of. There would be no songs of praise and thankfulness to Him for all eternity for having died on the Cross to save sinners from the penalty for sin. The very purpose for which Jesus was born as a human baby to a little Jewish mother would have been missed--and who would have been the winner? Not God! Thank God, that Jesus submitted in the Garden of Gethsemane to the will of God, as hard as it was that he even sweated drops of blood in his extreme agonizing over the crucifixion he was going to have to suffer. Thank God, that the tender clay of Jesus submitted to His Father the Potter. Everything we now enjoy and look forward to hung on His final decision to submit and surrender His clay to whatever the Father willed to be done to it to make Him the Savior of the World.

Oh, one more thing, this is coincidence, but it is interesting: this funny work in progress plaque is meant to be hung on a wall, and my best guess it is glazed...yes, clay!

We must be very wary about the very popular conspiracy theories. I have known this for a long time. Our culture abounds with conspiracy theorists, who see conspiracy lurking under practically every bush. Yet cabals of powerful people and nations have always operated, at various times, for various objectives. We know the Canaanite kingdoms in the Old Testament period, whose kings normally did not get along and were arch rivals, with a lot of warring to gain advantage or territory, combined to face a common enemy such as the Israelites under Joshua. Today we see the same old phenomenon--wickedness like the leopard doesn't seem to change its spots, nor can it. Remember how popular the Kennedy assassination conspiracy theory was for years--is it waning at last? Probably it will never really go away. The actual facts of John Kennedy's assassination may never, never be known, and in eternity during the Millennium we won't care a hoot anyway! But right here and now, there is a real conspiracy about which we ought to take most serious notice: the Islamic conspiracy. This definitely is the primary threat to America, Israel, the Western democracies, the Christian faith, and the world at large. Whence does it arise? It arises from Islam the religion and its holy books. The Arabs (nor any other Muslim people) are not the root problem, though they add fuel to it due to their age-old feud going back to Ishmael and Isaac, and results today in the mass of Arabs' continued hostility with the Jews or Israelis, who are the heirs of Isaac.

This conspiracy, which aims to subject all the nations and force them into the House of Islam one way or another (democratic agencies and voting are used by Muslims to gain control too!), is not the result of "radical Islamicists", which is the official view today. These are orthodox Muslims, who really believe and practice the Koran. Killing infidels (Christians and Jews) or at least subjecting them to low caste status and high taxation if they aren't converted and are allowed to exist, is a duty of the Muslim, according to the Koran.

Jehad (universal warfare against the infidel wherever he is) is taught by the Koran as every Muslim's religious duty. Let us not be fooled to think it is not so. The Koran teaches it, Mohammed practiced what he preached, and his loyal Muslim followers did exactly what he did: conducted unremitting warfare against Christians and Jews, the infidel.

Secularists in the West have concocted the spurious view that Islam the religion is not at fault, it is just "radicalized" Muslims, a minority, that is causing all the "current" trouble. President Bush subscribed to this uninformed, non-Koranic view, we know. The Obama government subscribes to the same view, of course, as is apparent from everything it says and does. I don't have to go into the Fort Hood massacre scenario in any depth, for political correctness that dictates "diversity" over national security is the deluded philosphy guiding our Mike Mullens and the other military chiefs, who in turn are following the White House directives. What we see is secularist, liberal appeasement that sacrifices not only national security but common sense. We are not even allowed to identify the enemy properly, all in the name of "diversity," the sacred cow of liberalism.

Other killings too were the result of this policy. We are all going to pay the price if this continues, and it seems it will, as along as the Democrats are in power, though Republicans have not really faced up to the real enemy all that much yet.

This is all to say that the conspiracy of Islam is not various people's fault, it is Islam's. This anti-Christ, anti-democracy, anti-human rights religion is not going away soon, and it is not going to change. Pour salt on a slug, and it turnes itself inside out, literally, to get away from the salt, killing it. So too with Islam. It will turn inside out, if it is changed in any tiny degree. Just to allow Israel to exist as its right, that would destroy Islam.

So orthodox Islam (not radical Islamicists) is making its greatest bid for world dominance right now.

As for Robert Kennedy's assassination, if Gordon Lindsay of Christ for the Nations, its late founder, is correct, he will set the record straight on at least one Kennedy's tragic end, and it dovetails with all I have said previously about the Islamic conspiracy (which does not derive from individuals so much as from Islam and the Koran as they impact individuals who adher to the post-Meccan teachings of Mohammed in the Koran).

In his "Report from Israel" letter to partners of July 1968, Lindsay wrote:

"I have just returned from Israel to receive the startling news of an event that may have profound influence on the developments in the Mideast--the tragic assassination of Senator Robert Kennedy. On Saturday night before his death, he and Senator McCarthy spoke on a national network; and Senator Kennedy made the remark that the U.S. should stand back of Israel's right to live. A young man who heard this remark was an Arab from East Jerusalem by the name of Sirhan Sirhan. Arabs, as a whole, are law abiding people, but few like this young man are inflamed with hate [where was he inspired to hate? --the Koran is full of hate for Jews and Christians, when you go past the kinder surahs of Mohammed's Mecca period to the later surahs of Medina which supersede them, according to Dr. Mark Gabriel, the former iman and Koranic scholar from Cairo].

Watching his opportunity to avenge the loss of the 6-day war on its first anniversary [Muslim terrorists always seem to pick significant anniversary dates, do they not?] (June 5), he crept into the hotel where Robert Kennedy was making a victory speech and opened fire, killing the Senator and wounding several others. This event has deep significance. In Sirhan's pockets were found statements reflecting his devotion to Communism and his hatred of Israel."

I will believe the words of Gordon Linday a thousand times over the political correct misinterpretations of the liberal media any day, though at the time this letter was written the U.S. press was still relatively free and able to report that the attacker was Muslim. Not much was made of that fact, however, at that time since we weren't witnessing a resurgence of Jehadist Islam in the 60s, such as we see today four decades later.

Would the press today report his Muslim connection? I doubt it very much. I recall how the press covered the Ft. Hood massacre and the perpertrator, a proven Muslim jehidist and terrorist.

Yes, there is a gigantic conspiracy going on, but it lies in the pages of the Muslim holy book, the Koran. Not every Muslim is involved, as most Muslims don't take the later Medina surahs written by Mohammed as justification for attacking Jews and Christians. Yet enough of them certainly do, to constitute a global threat to freedom and the Christian faith. They are the orthodox Muslims, I repeat. They are not radicals, they are just following the religion's express dictates to EVERY MUSLIM, not a few. The fact that the majority of Muslims do not practice jehad today is not proof they are "moderates," it simply means they are lapsed Muslims. Thank God for lapsed Muslims! They are wonderful people, by and large, though they are mostly all silent when jehadist attacks occur and they don't seem to be able to control or want to control the orthodox Muslims who are using their own communities to raise funds for terrorism and enlist jehadists there too.

We face in the West and in Israel the rise of Muslim orthodoxy as a primary threat. There is no greater one. We are in the fight for our lives as well as our basic freedoms. Be advised: the conspiracy at the heart of Islam and its holiest books is not going away soon. But Christ, we know, will end it completely when He comes again to reign on this sad, old earth. He will have the victory over it, and the feud of Ishamel and Isaac will be over. In the meantime, let us not sleep and ignore the conspiracy going on, that is resulting in the Islamic takeover of our Western societies. Jehad against the infidel, that is, us, has never ended. It has gone on since the 7th century when Mohammed wrote the anti-Christian, anti-Jewish surahs in Medina, calling us infidels not to be tolerated but to be warred against until we are utterly crushed or submit to conversion.

Darwin was a man with psychological or neuroses, which may have contributed to his sorry performance as a naturalist. The religious component also was crucial to his future career. He had been Christian but threw away his faith (this was commonly done by the young intellectuals of 19th century Britain, as developing science seemed to disprove the Bible and its claims with evidence). A shipwrecked faith can lead to a shipwrecked life, with havoc spreading throughout society, as the misdirected talents and intelligence of the apostate are directed at establishing a new secular world-view or philosophical system that runs completely contrary to the Bible and Christian beliefs. So he was not typical. Read Tennyson--he remained a Christian but was deeply troubled by the "new" science of the 19th century. How could he reconcile what it was revealing with the historic Christian faith that was the bedrock of his life, even from youth. His wonderful poem about Locksley Hall concerns this spiritual struggle Alfred Tennyson (Britain's poet laureate for many years) experienced. Tennyson did not throw away his faith, but held it despite what science was claiming to be fact, yet others were not so firmly founded, and fell away, turning to agnosticism, atheism, nihilism, anarchism, socialism, communism, and other political and philosophical systems that seemingly provided an alternative to Christianity. This is background for understanding what Charles Darwin eventually did, is it not? Late, on his deathbed, he deeply regretted the folly of his youth in trashing his Christian faith like he did. That one foolish act of unbelief produced his ORIGIN OF SPECIES tractate, and Evolutionary Theory was launched, with global repercussions. He knew that this theory was unfounded, did not have sufficient evidence to prove it, and said so, but he could not call back the demon into the box once it was loosed. So Charles Darwin is a tragic figure, not just the butt of ridicule. He is worshiped as a god by secularists today in our society and our schools, but he is really tragic. His supporters today have brainwashed millions of school children and are still brainwashing millions in the universities, where they ought to know better, since the latest science is disproving Darwinism every hour. You can deny the true evidence only so long. But in the meantime, millions are misled down the path to their destruction. The damage is being done, and few of these Evolution-brainwashed students will know the truth of the Gospel and the Bible as a consequence. That is what Darwin suspected was happening back in Britain in the 19th century. He knew the effect his theory was having on society and people everywhere, and he was increasingly disturbed and unhappy about it. But he couldn't stop it, though he must have wanted to. Perhaps, he lacked the courage to declare to the world he was mistaken or wrong. God knows. You won't hear in the schools and universities about his deep reservations about Evolution, expressed on his deathbed to Lady Hope, wife of the First Admiral of the British Fleet. It is a religion that has been concocted on this spurious theory, and too many careers, reputations, and books have been roduced in support of it. The espousers of Evolutionary theory do not want to acknowledge their error and all they have done go up in smoke! You and I can understand that, but surely their professional integrity is lacking, if they deny the evidence and the facts in order to hold to a highly questionable theory that even the creator of it was very doubtful and regretful about it right to the end of his life. Bad money, it is said, drives out the good money eventually. So too with ideas. This very bad idea, evolution, has virtually drive the Bible and its truths and the Christian world-view from all of our social structure and institutions. We are being destroyed, root and branch, as a nation. We are living in a divinely produced CREATION, not an EVOLVED UNIVERSE. Be cautious about the Big Bang Theory too--after all, none of its proponents were on the scene when it supposedly happened! They don't have conclusive evidence, and cannot have it, since God created the Universe, we know from the revelation of the Bible God gave us in Genesis. Did he create by a Big Bang--some Christians think so. But it couldn't be--for we know what big bangs, or explosions, produce: a junkyard. This Universe is orderly, so finely tuned that it can harbor a planet like Earth teeming with life and also human beings. A big bang could somehow produce this? THAT SEEMS ABSOLUTELY ABSURD AND IS ABSURD. WHY GET ON THE BIG BANG BANDWAGON THEN, AS THE GENESIS ACCOUNT IS A FAR BETTER EXPLANTION: GOD CREATED THE UNIVERSE BY FIAT, BY HIS UTTERED WORD.

That distinctly simian look to Charles Darwin's skull is hard to miss--the deep set eyes, the jutting brows--it is almost visible proof of his theory of the evolution of man from apes. Only the science doesn't back up the theory, as we know. It isn't really worthy of being called a theory either, for it is a mere hypothesis, trumpeted as a scientific theory. Only ignorance, religious fervor, and money back it up. There is Big Money and a lot of prestige and faculty tenure behind this erroneous theory of life's origins. Too many people in the universities and high positions have too much to lose if the theory, already discredited by science, is jettisoned. Evolution is not science, it is religion plus the money and prestige. World-class careers and reputations have been built on a bogus theory of a boobie that his worshipers call a "genius". So we may well be stuck with this incredible folly of the ages for a long time yet. The Christophobic evolutionists aren't going to let go of it willingly, no matter how much genuine science is stacked against it. Besides, as a religion, it offers the only alternative to Creation and God and the Bible. That explains the fanatical fervor of the evolutionists as they spin the most incredible tales out of bits and pieces of bones dug up in Africa or Asia, constructing entire races and progenitors, the so-called ancestors of modern homo sapiens. Remember the Piltdown Man "discovered" in England but later revealed as a hoax. That is typical of the whole gamut of fabricated "races" and "proto-humans" and "pre-humans" that evolutionists have cooked up out of the most outrageous and unscientific hypothesizing and speculation. Data continues to be "cooked" even at this time in support of evolution. Believe none of it! It does not matter what prestigious university funded the research, or how many degrees the paleontologist can claim. Submitted to the scientific method, without fabricating explanations that cannot be proved, the impressive claims dissolve into the most absurd nonsense.

Darwin's theory has been used to justify all sorts of other follies, as it was applied to society and social engineering. If there was no God as Creator, only some rather agile pond scum that somehow over the ages evolved into moving amphibians which in turn somehow grew lungs and discarded their gills and became land animals, the precursors of modern mammals, which in turn produced man, then we have a secular world, without any restraint of God's laws, or the revelation of God in the Bible, and man is just another species to be treated as animal, not as the Bible has described him, "made in the image of God." Already school children, their heads full of mush that too much TV and DVD watching has produced, are stuffed with evolutionary theory, so that they can be manipulated by the the teachers' unions and the secularists of the school adminstrations. This is the result: a socialistic society full of dumbed-down animals ruled and manipulated by the authoritarian, privileged, weathly, socialist elites. This is the paradise they are seeking--which is a hellhole built on abortion by demand, immorality, perversion, drugs, and subservience to the all-powerful State. All this is the fruit of Darwin's theory as applied to society, with the religion of evolution and all its adherents in the scientific and educational communities, including the government and the entertainment industries (which are really one and the same industry), giving it full backing.

Darwin's legacy is death and destruction, but evolutionists and Darwinians are celebrating the 200th anniversary of his birthday (a dark day, indeed!), and the 150th anniversary of his most famous piece of garbage, "On the Origin of the Species."

Thank God our Creator that there are some film producers with the intellectual honest and the courage and the money who are producing films that question Darwin and his spurious theory. "Creation" was released in September in London. Another anti-Darwin film is "The Mysterious Islands," after the unique Galapagos Islands that inspired Darwin and form the basis of his fanatic adherents' evolutionary faith. Going right to the source of this folly, the Birmingham, Alabama Erwin Brothers filmmakers took their equipment and crews to the volcanic islands with all their bizarre animals and fish off the coast of Ecuador to film the very scenes and species that Darwin used as proofs for his theory. Executive producer Doug Phillips took a team of scientists to determine whether the place is an exhibit for evolution or divine creation. They photographed white-tip sharks, salt-spitting lizards, blue-footed boobies and flightless cormorants, and of course those darn finches that Darwin made so much about, only they reached different conclusions than he did.l; "Darwin thought that all life evolved from simple organisms like seashells, and that he knew the scientific mechanisms by which they did so. The film argued that new kinds of animals are not formed through mutation nor the passing of millions of years but that information stored in animals' genes--by God--allows them to adapt to different circumstances."--Excerpts of Julia Duin's "Stairway to Heaven" article, "'Mysterious' Puts Darwin on Trial," The Washington Times, Monday, December 28, 2009.

Know that the claims of the homosexual radical groups are just the opposite from their hidden agendas. The visible part of any iceberg is about 10% of the total mass. 9/10's of the homosexual movement is below the water, known to the other homosexuals but not to the public. This is how it goes with them:

1. Claim: Diversity. Hidden Agenda: Uniformity. They absolutely do not want, nor will they seek to co-exist with heterosexuals, they are really determined to to make everyone, young and old, homosexual. They cannot rest until homosexuality is forced on everyone universally. As long as heterosexuality exists, they are convicted, they feel guilty and inadequate as they see the God-given pattern of one man and one woman in marriage creating a family creates more health, happiness, and well-being than homosexuality ever could. They must wipe out the contrast that will always be a slap in the face to them, reminding them that they are dead wrong and unnatural and flying against the laws of God by what they do. Color all society, man, woman, child, pink! They will not accept any other colors. 2. Claim: Equality. Hidden Agenda: Exclusiveness. They seek an exclusive status and position, over everyone else, beyond any reach of the law or social sanction or ethical view. They are the super elite, aggressively climbing to absolute power and topmost rung in society, so that they can dominate and change everything and everyone pushed down into the social pyramid beneath them.

The screaming hypocrisy of this movement is thereby exposed in this model. Activist homosexuals are stripped naked before the bar of truth. It is an ugly spectacle, revolting, but also pitiful and wretched in the extreme. Sin is an ugly thing, guile is an uglier thing, and both together have birthed a monster of iniquity that is attacking and devouring the whole of American society, despite the fact that the activist homosexuals are a tiny fraction of the total population. Given huge amounts of contributions by the wealthy to fund their warchests, the activists have been able to sway judges, courts, huge corporations, and even the U.S. Congress to do their bidding. They scent victory, a complete conquest of America for their agendas, and will not stop unless they are either converted to Christ by the Gospel of Grace or a strong-armed government sees the light of reality and runs them back, by force, into the shadows, stripping them of their unconstitutional privileges.

We know from the Bible that homosexuals were always a serious problem in ancient societies, since the time of Adam and Noah. Even after God sent a Great Flood to destroy the Noahic world, the problem persisted with Canaan's descendants, and they gradually infected the whole world with perversion and homosexuality. We are again at the same conditions that Noah knew and which God was grieved to see. But there are other things just as vile in the mix today, such as drugs, violence, politics, power, wealth, social position, the entertainment industry, even fashion.

Whatever the claims, they are only the public means to deceive and dupe the general public about homosexual's hidden agendas. At their private meetings of their organizations and activist clubs, they do not talk about the official claims, no, they are free to discuss their true agendas, which are shocking and nasty in the extreme, but which they delight to see implemented. The NGLCC, the "National Gay and Lesbian Chamber of Commerce", is the aggressive economic arm of the homosexual movement, that gains huge contributions through presenting their claims to corporations such as McDonalds under the guise ("under the water") of "compassion" (actually cruelty), caring "actually indifference or hostility"), "equality," (actually uniformity, everyone "pinked"), and so on. Huge corporations usually buckled under, presented with these claims, and, no doubt, they don't like the idea that the powerful homosexual lobby in Congress could pass punitive bills against the corporations that deny NGLCC what it wants. It is much easier for McDonalds to pay the millions it has available to this group, and hope everyone is happy and those who--usually evangelical Christians--either don't hear about it or are too preoccupied with other things to make a fuss.

How else do you explain that the chief executive of McDonalds made a statement and called Christians "haters". That is exactly what the NGLCC would love to have him say, putting McDonalds high on their list of "nice corporations" which they won't litigate with trumped up charges.

Fellow Christians, knowing this is a fact, how can we compromise in any way or agree with them? There can be no compromise in the name of Christ. In other words, no deal! No bargain. No co-existence. They are anti-Christ, anti-God (even if they wear clerical colors and are bishops in the Methodist or Episcopalian or Lutheran churches). Beyond that, they are anti-morality, anti-democratic, anti-American. They are even anti-human. You cannot be a human being as God designed human beings and be a homosexual. The rebellion by Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden, the sin of their eating the forbidden fruit in disobedience to God's law, that created perversion and homosexuality. So Sin designed a homosexual, not God. Everything fell apart catastrophically as a result of the fall; some parts immediately were ruined, others took more time for the ruin to set in and make itself visible. After all, Adam did not die until over 900 years after he sinned! But eventually, he did die, just as God warned him he would. Measured against an eternal lifetime he might have enjoyed, what was 900+ years he got in his bargain with the Devil? It was a wretched pittance! That is Satan's way, dupe you into giving up a fortune of billions and even trillions for the price of a candy bar. Willing to sell out everything for that? Amazingly, many people do just that, exactly what Adam and Eve did long ago.

In like manner, we will all die, man, woman, and child, if the homosexual agendas are triumphant. The homosexuals themselves will perish in the most horrible way. You cannot maintain a viable, living, creative, happy world and civilization, much less a nation and society, on such terms as their agendas. It is self-destructive. It is hell on earth.

Sweet, caring, compassionate, loving, even Christian homosexual "unions" seem to exist, in defiance of everything I have just shown you. These are always pointed out by advocates of homosexuality as proof that God can accept and bless such unions, and therefore they ought to be endorsed as legitimate and even viable relationships, with the same legality and privileges as heterosexual marriages. Yes, the forbidden fruit was attractive and desirable to the eye of Eve, was it not? But it was actually poison, death, in the most attractive wrapping. So too with the homosexual "unions," the Word of God tells us clearly and repeatedly that unrighteousness and the wages of sin is death. Death will come, destruction will come, ruin will come, though it seems to take so much time in some cases that anything so unpleasant happening to the participants in homosexuals is rendered unthinkable.

Remember the iceberg! It is 1 tenth above water, which makes it so deceptive a danger. Boats or ships sailing near it may not seem to be in mortal danger, but they are, for the iceberg is 9 tenths larger beneath the water, invisibly reaching out toward their hulls to rip and tear them open. Be shielded with the armor of Christ when dealing with the activist homosexuals. Homosexuals are merely sinners in need of Grace and salvation and the forgiveness of God, but what they are a part of is truly dangerous, extremely aggressive, and totally committed to destroying the world as God designed it and as God designed human beings. What they are a part of is the hidden agendas of Satan himself. It is Satan who hates the God-design of human beings, the God-design of marriage, the God-design of nations and societies. He wants to pervert and destroy them all and substitute his own hellish empire in which he will be God and in which everyone will be forced to worship him. It will be an empire of lies and terror. We have seen such empires arise on earth before: The Soviet Union, Nazi Germany, and others before them. We are seeing such empires arise now in our prsent world: the European Union is such an empire of lies and terror. It may look benign and beneficial now, but down the road it will become an absolute dictatorship based on a police state society. They have done this time and again in Europe, but in their pride and arrogance they continue to ignore their own past follies and re-commit them again and again.

Here in America, our Founding Fathers knew better and did everything in the Founding Documents of our nation to divest ourselves of Europe's follies and strike a new course in human freedom and development and righteousness. They succeeded, but now the unrighteous have gained such power and numbers they are reversing everything our Founding Fathers achieved for the sake of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. We know what they achieved, what they intended, but the courts, and unjust laws of Congress, and unjust laws of state legislatures, and unjust rulings by courts, have rendered the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, and the Amendments protecting our vital freedoms, null and void. We are being rapidly reduced to serfs and slaves on somebody else's land, just as the common people were in old Europe!

We are losing the moral ground in America to the homosexual agendas, and we are losing all right to the property we own by the Supreme Court ruling that property could be pre-empted by the state or city authorities if they saw a more profitable use for it than our private ownership! So we lost both the soul and the ground beneath our feet--the nation is stolen away from us, soil and soul perverted, wrenched out of God's master plan and design.

All this must be stopped. We as Christians must stop it. We can stop it. If we stand in Christ, on his principles, repenting of our sins, He will hear us and go to war against our enemies that are crushing us to the dust and taking the children from us to make over into children of hell to populate their "Brave New World"--the globalist utopia envisoned by Dr. Henry Kissenger, Barack Hussain Obama, Axelrod, the Bushes, and all who think like them. Their world is the exact opposite of the righteous kingdom of God, but that does not matter to them in the least. They imagine, as Eve imagined, they will gain something "better" and will be improved, become higher human beings, if they can create such a world out of this one. To achieve their aim, they must destroy everything of Judaeo-Christian civilization and its underpinings in the Constitutional liberties and the rights that were given us inalienably by Almighty God. They pit themselves, therefore, against Almighty God and Christ. They will be defeated! They have denied God any role in their remade world, but God is not moved in the least. He holds these rebels in derision. Christ will come soon to sit upon his glorious throne in Jerusalem, and all the wicked will be destroyed and swept away off the earth. A new world will begin with him ascending the Davidic throne. A paradise will be recreated out of the sin-ruined earth. It is the Millennium of happiness for the saints of God. We have a lot to look forward to! But in the meantime we must be sober, vigilant, and ever mindful this is a war we are engaged in, between the forces of light and the forces of darkness. We must put on the whole armor of God to survive the slings and arrows of the enemy. We must be led by the Spirit of God. We must be daily in the Word of God, we must pray and repent of our sins. We must interceed for others who are needing prayer, healing, deliverance, and provision. We must be a part of Christ's true church (not merely a member of a formal body that calls itself a denomination or church). We must be a part of Christ's Body, His precious Bride. The Word of God teaches us all these things. We will not be deceived and led astray by false shepherds and teachers if we cultivate His Word daily. God will not forsake us no matter how weak or even how sinful we are, if we want to be kept. God loses not one child of his own. We can be His children forever, and will be, if only we want to be. Do you want to be? I do! I see what is in store for those who do not want God or are running from Him despite all he wants to do for them--and I shudder to think of what they are risking to happen to them. Whatever they think they are gaining, it will not be worth it eventually. Hell, with all its deceiving, glittering, present delights for the flesh and the lusting eye to indulge, cannot compare with Heaven, with its unending rewards and happiness and purity that bear no sorrow with them nor give you a hang-over in the morning (not to mention STD's, or a divorce, or an out of wedlock pregnancy, broken trust, or even an HIV/AIDS' death sentence). Either you gain Heaven, or Hell is your reward. And heaven is the reward of the committed, the dedicated, the sold-out pilgrim. It doesn't come easy. The road will have many tests, snares, pitfalls along the rocky route to deal with. Yet God says he will never forsake us or desert us in our difficulties and even our tumbles and falls (I've had a number of falls myself, but Christ never let me go!). He can get us through every trial and test and tribulation we will ever experience in life, because he encountered, suffered, and overcame everything we will ever find barring our path to the Celestial City. Praise to the Lord! How can we lose, with such a Shepherd as Jesus, who went before the flock, before the sheep, to show us the way, and then to stand faithfully 24/7 as our High Priest in heaven, praying perfect prayers for us as we make our painful way to heaven on the road he first traversed.

Pledging Allegiance to the United States of America by school children in public school classes may soon become a thing of the past, if the ACLU has its way with the Christian founded (!) public school system in America. They hate it with all the animus in their shriveled hearts, particularly because it bears the phrase: "one Nation under God" in it. They also hate it with the spite of demons because it has children pledge allegiance to this nation. President Obama hates it just as much. He would much rather have the pledge modified, so that they pledge allegiance to the United Nations, or a nation under the authority of the United Nations. The U.S. flag, if shown at all in the classroom, will have a noticeably larger United Nations flag standing by it, so these impressionable young minds get the point he wants them to get: we are subservient to the world community, not a sovereign nation in our own right, and patriotism is no longer operative and viable, since we are in his view all citizens of the world, a term he applied to himself in the infamous Berlin speech.

If you haven't read the political science books or the Communist Manifesto or even Karl Marx's doctrine of devils, DAS KAPITAL, don't think you need to. Just look at this, and you will understand immediately what socialism (and its later, terminal stage, full-blown communism) is all about:

Do you want to know what those little boxes, all alike and set in rows like the ticky-tacky houses of suburban subdivisions in the cash-strapped Forties, are? They are what socialism wants to make out of individuals. Every bill you see in the U.S. Congress at present has its aim to make little boxes in a socialistic grid or societal agenda, just like the ones pictured here. And socialism is a failed system--it has always failed (despite the superficial success it showcases in such small countries as Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Iceland, etc.). Even those countries show very high rates of suicide, drug use, pornography, divorce--which shouldn't happen if everyone is as happy as they claim to be in their socialist paradises, right?

The only problem with socialism is not the theory (which is a nice one in some respects, "every one according to his need...") so much as it is with the sad fact it cannot work. Human beings cannot fit those boxes. God did not make us to fit them, and so the government must turn tyrannical or authoritarian and force us to fit the boxes, like round pegs in square holes! What happens? Everyone ends up in misery eventually, as the money runs out from the wealthier, more productive cash cows the government is overtaxing to pay for the socialistic programs of universal health care, etc. A tiny elite will always hold on to their wealth, but the mass will sink into wretchedness sooner or later. And the police state will develop to keep them in line, enslave them primarily by fear and terror to stay put in their little boxes so they will not break out and start talking things like individual initiative, freedom, and liberty, and freedom of religion and freedom of conscience. Socialism cannot exist in a free society where people are individually responsible for their own welfare and where God is God and people serve Him above all else. Socialism must be god to the people, their total allegiance. Evenso, it cannot work, and will fail to supply the basic needs of the enslaved mass, and there will be a bloody revolution, and another authoritarian government will arise to take control of the anarchy and chaos. Sounds like atheistic, socialistic France, Russia, China--wherever socialism is tried it produces much the same result: misery, anarchy, chaos on one hand or police state control on the other. Now America is abandoning the path of God's continued blessing and is trying socialism. We are going down a dead end street, that all history (and many European nations too) tells us to avoid at all costs. But the radical, socialist Democrats leading this nation astray into socialism do not care that they are championing a failed idea, a failed system of government. They know it fails, but for a time they can gain immense power and wealth by it, and so they are going to promote it for their own advantage, while duping people in the minorities to vote for them in order to maintain government favor and handouts. The Washington and New York elites cannot lose by it, but we the common, working people have everything to lose. It is your responsibility to vote. Vote for things that we know endure and last and promote human welfare. Socialism cannot deliver human welfare, regardless of what the dear little Denmark or the tiny populations of the Scandinavian countries claim. They are able to go down a dead end street much longer, having the resources to last a long time on the road to nowhere. We do not have that much slack. We will soon plunge to Third World status and economy, with the wealth "redistributed" from the productive people to the non-productive, parasitical people. That leaves nothing to be redistributed after a while, and only the elite carries on with its wealth intact, as they can always tax and keep their positions and bank accounts padded with the public money, whereas individuals and families have no such things to fall back upon when the Unending Rainy Day finally comes to rain upon the socialists' party.
