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.

The Dead Sea Scrolls, "The Greatest Archeological Discovery of Our Time," Excerpt of the article by Dr. Peter Flint, Personal UPDATE, Jan. 2011

The Associated Press--Jerusalem--The Dead Sea Scrolls, among the world's most important, mysterious and highly restricted archeological treasures, are about to get Googled. The technology giant and Israel announed Tuesday that they are teaming up to give researchers and the public the first comprehensive and searchable database of the scrolls--a 2,000-year-old collection of Hebrew, Aramaic and Greek documents that shed light on Judaism during Biblical times and the origins of Christianity. Officials said the collection is expected to be available within months for free.

There exist what we call "Bible Lands." The Holy Land is Israel, but the Bible Lands comprise Egypt, Greece, Italy, Lebanon, and particularly Turkey (Asia Minor, also called Anatolia), 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, with the help of Timothy, Barnabus, and others. For Asia Minor's atlas and photographs from a tour of ours and Paul's epic missionary journey maps, go to:

By the way, I was standing waiting to order in McDonalds the other day, and a bearded fellow started a conversation with me, and he then surprised me by asking if I knew what BIBLE stands for. I couldn't remember right on the spot! So he said, "Basic Instruction Before Leaving Earth"! Doesn't this tell you and me how this is catching on the the culture, when you can hear it in McDonalds?

Abundant Grace from God is still available to us in America, if we repent now without delay and change our ways back to godliness. But if we refuse and continue on the present road, scripture offers no hope for restoration and happiness. As for those who refuse God in America and seek to pervert the chidren with their vain and wicked philosophies of secularism, moral relativism, even Islamic teaching, judgment is coming soon for all of them, no matter how much good they think they are doing. Psalm 119: 53:

"Indignation has taken hold of me bcause of the wicked, who forsake Your law."

THE WHITE HOUSE

WASHINGTON

January 25, 1941

To the Armed Forces:

As Commander-in-Chief I take pleasure in recommending the reading of the Bible to all who serve in the armed forces of the United States. Through the centuries men of many faiths and diverse origins have found the Sacred Book words of wisdom, counsel and inspiration. It is a fountain of strength and now, as always, an aid in attaining the highest aspiration of the human soul.

Very sincerely yours, Franklin D. Roosevelt

PRESIDENT [REAGAN] LAUDS BIBLE'S ROLE IN AMERICAN CULTURE. Washington (AP)--President Reagan says the Bible "has formed not only American culture but also the cultures of many other nations around the world." In a message for observance of nationalBible Week No. 24 to Dec. 1, he said, "we sometimes forget that for most of America's history, the only book most Americans posessed was the Bible." It "formed not only ourmoral habits but even our language," he said, adding that it "remains far and away the most popular of all books." He said "the principles it contains are of timeless relevance and its beauty is forever discovered anew by millions of Americans."--From a Newspaper Clipping

Note: The late President Reagan is being lauded by the left and right as great, and they are right. But he committed some major blunders too while in office, which is conveniently ignored when these admirers applied the gilt to his image. His wife invited a well-known Washington psychic for "consultation and comfort" to the White House, and he excoriated Israel for acting legitimately to defend itself (he even brought a sanction against Israel in the United Nations) for destroying the Osirik nuclear reactor Saddam Hussain had built so he could make an atomic bomb to put as a warhead on his missiles aimed for Israel (this is all attested as true by Saddam's own Air Force general, Gen. Georges Saada in his books and testimony before the U.S. Congress). Moreover, there was the contra scandal, and other mistakes. This doesn't erase the great good he did, but God really deserves the credit for his accomplishments--for President Reagan did not bring down the Iron Curtain and the end of the Soviet Union as it is often claimed--GOD ALMIGHTY DID IT! God used Ronald Reagon and Margaret Thatcher (PM of Britain), but they were probably the least players. The faithful ones of the Lord who prayed all those 70-80 years of Soviet tyranny, the countless Christian martyrs the Soviets tortured, imprisoned, starve, persecuted and slaughtered, those prayers heard by a merciful God brought down the proud and mighty Soviet Empire! To God rightfully goes the Glory, not to even the likes of President Reagan. Let us get the record straight, Christians!

"I Saw Satan in the White House," by Earl D. Bergman. This was written during Reagan's presidency. He sees Reagan as a good man seeking to do right, but with counsellors who are both good and evil, some even seeking the destruction of America. Is it any different today under Obama? Certainly not! Satan is still in the White House, in an even bigger way! The White House, which has long been the venue of psychics and witchcraft (Mrs. Nancy Reagan and also Mrs. Carter both were involved in such practices, apparently to gain guidance and information about troubling current events and future events besetting their husbands' administrations), is the pigeon coop of evil spirits--they roost there and have a heyday! Due to the blow given the Obama agenda by the American people voting against him in the last election, certain "rats" are now leaving the sinking ship of Obama's presidency, but Satan is not leaving. Nossir! He still has his hand firmly on the tiller in the Oval Office and won't give it up until we Christians who love America dearly finally wake to our sacred responsibility before God and begin praying night and day for deliverance from evil--rampant secularism and immorality and deliberate killing and exploitation and perverting of innocent children for profit and political advancement, surely the greatest evil our nation has ever witnessed since the dark days of slavery. This great evil has engulfed our country, from the White House to the least house, that off in the corner somewhere, forgotten and neglected Indian Reservation, the chattel of the U.S. Government and the B.I.A., a ghetto for Indians that is worse than any Third World nation in its living conditions. The fact remains, dogs and cats are treated far, far better in America than Indians--and we know it is so, but do virtually nothing about it. How a nation is judged is how it treats the weakest and least--by that standard we fail abysmally as a nation and society! We can go and save the world, pour untold treasure into Afghanistan fighting the Taliban and building infrastructure, but how about our own ghetto-ized Indians? Don't even mention the casino-operating tribes, they are just a fraction of the tribes, and not representative at all. There are no real, valid excuses. Time to change, America!

My profile on Angelfire dealing with my butterfly metaphor:

My Profile

I don't know when I didn't write poetry. However young I started, I have kept writing it all my life--"I am a poet and I know it." If I could live by my poetry, that is what I would love most to do--but of course that is not possible in this society and time (unless I can think of topics that would really sell, such as the once wildly popular Jonathan Livingstone Seagull book. I don't have the ability to do that well at it, or don't have the confidence to think I could in order to push it on the publishers. I paid newspapers for ads, which were my poems, published that way without editing by the newspapers which are all politically correct rags here. Otherwise, they wouldn't have printed conservative and evangelical pieces such as I write, so it was worth the money, to get this kind of poetry into the papers here, despite the liberal and secularist, anti-Christian bias they have (which has lessened somewhat in our local town paper since then, however). Here is one of my latest pieces:

GRATITUDE TO GOD CENTER:

Happy VALENTINES DAY!

Know what Valentines Day is about? It is not selfish love, that is for sure! According to the encyclopedias I consulted, Valentinus was a brave man of God in the old Roman empire, and it cost to be Christian then, it cost persecution, confiscation of your home and property and Bible, imprisonment and even your life. It cost Valentinus imprisonment and his life. He was a Christian awaiting in prison his final sentencing from the cruel and unjust pagan Roman emperor who persecuted Christians. But it became known he was also educated and a teacher. A young lady was made his student and he instructed her. Later on, all they could do was pass notes to each other. This wasn't romantic love in action, it was Christian love, he was instructing her in the Christian faith! Whatever subjects he had started on with her no longer meant much after he was sentenced to face death in the arena. She became a Christian, with his example before her as a true disciple of God. He went to his death faithful and brave to the end, and did not deny Christ as many others did to save their lives. For that reason he was remembered and revered by succeeding generations. And this passing of "love notes" became highly romanticized in time, and a custom arose among high society's courtiers and their lady loves, but it really began as a Christian communication between a Christian teacher and his student. It is a day we can remember and give tokens of our love (cards, flowers, candy, etc) to our loved ones ( and there is nothing wrong about this, as we ought to show them love), but Valentines Day is originally a Christian celebration of a disciple who remained true to his First Love, Jesus, while facing a cruel death in the jaws of the lions and leopards of the Roman arena, as well as a remembrance how his example encouraged a young Roman woman to give her all to Christ too.

***********************

Are you grateful just that there is a God? If not, suicide would be the most logical response to our God-less fate. Why postpone it, atheists? Your lives are meaningless without God. I read the existentialists, philosophers and writers. Albert Camus--why even live if man is alienated in the way he described in "The Stranger" and "The Exile."? "Waiting for Godot"--that existentialist play describes the lunacy and pointlessness of human life without God or meaning of any kind. Again, why struggle so hard to live? Why not do yourself a favor and put a bullet through your meaningless brain? I am not recommending that. I am asking the so-called atheists, the fervent secularists predominant in our society in America who insist there is no God, no Creator, they are just products of random collisions of atoms and molecules and far, far, down the line, after billions of years of these random collisions, they pop up in the midst of the big, fat zero of life as human beings. I beg your pardon, atheists! That has to be sheer hypocrisy on your part. I can prove it! No one can live on such a principle, and they certainly don't. They all live as though they have meaning. Just try to take their car away, or stick a finger into their eye, or say something ugly to them right to their face--they'll soon defend THEIR property rights, THEIR human dignity, THEIR self-respecting personhood against you, and will bring the full force of the law upon you in return! That shows for sure they cannot live on atheism or as conistent atheists--it is absolutely impossible and even illogical to live as a consistent atheist. They must believe in something, they must believe they have meaning, or they would just stop everything they are presently doing and go and put a bullet through their silly heads. These people are professional, shameless hypocrites, living a life of meaning for them while denying to others that life has meaning, denying there is a God, denying they were created in God's image and are not animals, or mere products of random atomic and molecular collisions. This is nothing but poppycock, and in their heart of hearts they know it. Put them in the clutches of a black-stocking-headed Moslem jehadist, and their own pounding hearts will tell them that their lives are infinitely, infinitely precious and they truly want to live, not be blown up or have their heads cut off with a rusty sword and then dissolve back into "random molecules and random atoms." They don't really believe that nonsense they have been spouting. Randomness was never their true state--they were thought of by God before they were created, and even their name was known to God. They were never products of random collisions of atoms and molecules, they were God-designed, intricately, perfectly, beautifully created. They were embued with purpose, and offered a glorious life and a glorious future. But they chose to deny all that, and live the least common denominator of existence, that is, just to exist without God. How foolish, sad, pathetic, and pointless of them! They deny what is the most obvious thing about themselves: they are created by God for His wonderful purpose, superbly individual and the mold thrown away, as God does whenever he makes a masterpiece.

Is there anything more contradictory and pathetic than an atheist or a secular humanist? I cannot think of anything, unless it is an immune system that gets its signals wrong and turns on its own body, eating itself, consuming itself, killing itself. That is tragic when it happens, and reversible with great difficulty. I don't know if there is a real cure. But thank God, spiritually, there is: Jesus Christ. He alone can cure the defective philosophical and existentialist immune system of an atheist or secular humanist. He alone is the Cure!

Have you read Cecelia Spotted Bear yet, on what happens to a nation without God? You can, just scroll down the page from here.

Tripod says that we have been here at the Emmaus Walk website since 2000. Actually, I think it is longer, but that means ten years at least, and this is the 11th year! What this has accomplished for the Kingdom of God, God only knows. But the Word of God does not return void, it produces fruit, somewhere, in someone. The Scripture promises that! Opinions don't save anyone, though they may guide someone back to the right track. Knowledge is important too, but knowledge cannot save a soul. Only the truth of the Gospel can save a soul from sin and condemnation and eternal death, as the Bible makes it so clear. Have you been exposed to the Gospel here? You should be! We are not a blog to hunt jehadists down, or a center for hatred of others who differ in their views from ours, this isn't even a site to show off and tell the world how cool we are as human beings and such know-it-alls--no, that is not our reason for being. The Emmaus Walk is for the Gospel of Jesus Christ to be showcased, not mortal man and his dressed up, trumped-up pettiness that masquerades as "The Self-made Man". The Gospel, and the Word of God, they are the only justification for this site and what is said here. Christians need to be warned against apostasy, triumphalist Islam's moves against our free society, Islam's persecutions of Christians world-wide, secularism's same kinds of aggressive moves against our free society and against Christians too, the abortion industry's destruction of our nation and future, the vital need to take our voting seriously and to vote our values, the need to be encouraged as Christian men and women, but these worthy things aside, the most basic thing is that souls need to saved, then discipled, so that they will be saved souls living righteously in this world until either Christ comes in the Rapture for us or we go home to be with him in death.

I thank God for these last ten years. They might have been difficult and sometimes disappointing, but we are still here! We are STILL here! That is proof of God's faithfulness, not our strength and ability. We praise and glorify the Lord Jesus for giving us the xtreme privilege of ten years of service to you, Christian or not, on this humble little site for "Emmaus Walkers." Who, by the way, is this mysterious "Stranger" we are walking along with? How does he come to know the messianic scriptures so well, that he can go from end to end of the Old Testament and point out the coming Christ, and all he is to do on earth? He should be clear by now to most of you, that he is none other than Jesus, or Y'shua. And who is Jesus, what is He like, and what does he expect of his disciples, that should be getting clearer too as Emmaus appears up ahead. Do you see that little town? It really isn't Emmaus (for the actual town Jesus knew and visited with the two disciples disappeared under the dust of Israel centuries ago and isn't yet dug up by archeologists)--no, it is really the New Jerusalem! The New Jerusalem is our true goal, not Emmaus the earthly, passing village that is now buried somewhere under the ground waiting the archeologist's pick and shovel. Isn't that more exciting, to think we are walking toward the New Jerusalem, the City of the Great King. What we have to look forward to there is glorious beyond words. And it is real, it will not disappoint. It will be more than we can imagine. Christ himself will be the light in it, and the temple of it. We will be with Him forever, and our home will be the New Jerusalem--isn't that a wonderful destination. I, for one, can't think of a better destination.

So stay on the road, pilgrim and Emmaus Walker! It will be worth it all, whatever you have to sacrifice to get to the grand destination! Yet here is the sobering truth: If we really believed that, our lives would be radically different, and our priorities would be altogether set straight.

WHAT HAPPENS TO PEOPLE AND A NATION WITHOUT GOD? This supremely vital question, which is right up there with "What must I do to be saved?" is raised by Cecilia Spotted Bear, who lives in Wounded Knee, SD. Our nation has decided to go it alone, to do all its business without God--and we see the dire results, don't we? This country is a disaster. Cecelia Spotted Bear calls us back to God:

"What Happens Without God?" by Cecelia Spotted Bear, A Letter to the Editor, Wounded Knee, SD

"We the People of the United States,

in order to form a more perfect Union,

establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility,

provide for the common defense,

promote the general Welfare,

and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our posterity,

do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America."

NEW SCHOOL FOR JEWISH STUDIES ON-LINE! The Friends of Israel, Bellmawr, New Jersey (FOI), has created the Friends of Israel Institute of Jewish Studies (IJS)'s distance-education program. I had a cousin's Jewish husband studying recently at this institute at the New Jersey campus. This institute could not come at a better time. Jewish studies are being removed from our universities and colleges nationwide and Saudi Arabian funded programs, and Arab civilization and language studies are proliferating, with a heavy emphasis of anti-Semitism and anti-Israel rhetoric attached (in exchange for the big money the Muslim states with oil money are pouring into U.S. educational institutions). Western Civilization, which has deep Christian roots and traditions and democratic institutions, is being discarded, and the total opposite world view and anti-democratic institutions involved in Arab studies are being substituted and promoted to U.S. students (which studies, again, are anti-Israel and virulently anti-Semitic in many cases). Our own Western civilization and Judaeo-Christian foundations of our nation are ignored, silenced, and set aside, they are the big losers in this exchange, as they are being portrayed and slandered as utterly corrupt and worthless, and the Arab world is being shown as the shining, noble, pure exemplar, the coming wave of the future (though in fact it means the darkening of all true civilization into a grinding barbarism, and the forcible submission of the entire world to a degenerative, non-progressive, mafia-type, continually warring tribal Arab culture that was 7th century Arabia after Mohammed conquered it and took the sword against all who opposed his bloody regime. Want your children and families to grow up under Sharia law and the mullahs? Want Israel wiped off the map? Want dictatorship and the rule of theocracy combined in a state religion of Islam in a so-called Islamic republic? That is the agenda of the Arab studies across the land. They have no other reason for existence--since they do not exist to further genuine education and all peoples living living peaceably together, whether Jewish, Christian, and Muslim, Buddhist and Hindu and secularist. Rather, you have a triumphalist, zero-sum game playing religious state within a state that is actively striving to become the only state power, by whatever means possible. In the process they must eliminate every rival, chief among them being a free and democratic America, and a free and democratic Israel.

The IJS offers a "rapidly growing body of American and international students an expanding curriculum of 14 premium courses, including fall semester offerings of Life of Christ, Major Prophets, Modern Jewish History (1948 and following), Holocaust/Anti-Semitism, the Future, Tabernacle, Daniel/Revelation, Between the Testaments, and Making Christ Known.

If interested, go to FOI's website for more information on the Institute of Jewish Studies distance-learning program on-line.

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

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

RECOMMENDED CHRISTIAN BOOKS LIST:

Billy Graham's crusade messages contain the most powerful and cogent warnings to America you will ever hear from any evangelist and prophet of God. He warned America from the very beginning of his ministry, and the message grew more impassioned, not less. America did not heed his warnings, so we are where we are now, in the most deadly peril of destruction, with a president at the helm who works against America's best interests, tearing this nation down every way he possibly can. If you wonder how a great nation can be reduced to utter destruction, this is how: ignore God's repeated warnings from men of God like Billy Graham, go about your selfish life and don't seek God with all your heart and obey his commandments in your life and how you treat your family and relatives and the society around you. Don't take responsibility for your sins and get them taken care of by repentance and real change. Just continue on your rebellious way, thinking you're good and good enough to merit heaven, when that is the exact opposite of the truth and reality.

"Roots of Obama's Rage" by Dinesh D'Souza: I regret I was too quick to post "Roots to Obama's Rage," as I read into it, and found I was disagreeing with many points being made, and overall, it is a political book, not really a book that will inform and strengthen Christian faith. Yes, its main point--that Obama is culturally not American and has a rage against Western society--is probably true. That would explain his behavior and his agendas. But that alone does not justify it being posted here. My policy has been to recommend only books I have read through, and when I let down on this, I made a mistake on this book.

I still think Obama's rage is worth discussing for other reasons than the political. He is impacting Christian faith and churches in America in a tremendous way, and not a good way either, except that the sleeping churches (some of them at least) may be waking up to the peril they are in with this hostile anti-Christian government regime in power.

Did you ever dream this would ever happen in America, that communism and socialism would take over so completely as they are doing now, right in the top levels of government? Well, it isn't a nightmare, it is present reality! So let us wake up to the fact and deal with it, however God directs. Karl Marx, Stalin and Lenin, not to mention Mao of China (better not imitate the Chinese Dictator Yu's singsong Chinese, or you will be in big difficulty and be called a racist, as Rush Limbaugh is not being called by the Democrat Chinese in America!), are the greatest heroes to the White House Staff of President Obama, not George Washington, John Quincy Adams, William Jefferson, Thomas Jay, Benjamin Franklin, James Madison, and all the other Founding Fathers. Dictators and humanity-assassins are esteemed and emulated by the likes of Janet Napolitano, Eric Holder, Rahm Emanuel, and most or all the rest of the undemocratic, socialistic, self-aggrandizing gang in chief positions in the White House! Wouldn't they be upset if you mentioned the facts about these Marxist and communist mentors of theirs? The politically incorrect book, "Karl Marx: From Christian to Satanist," by the renowned Richard Wurmbrand (Lutheran pastor-prisoner in the deathcamps of the Communist Romanian dictatorship, then founder of Voice of the Martyrs magazine and ministry) promises to be a most fascinating read. Let's just take a closer look now at Karl Marx, for one. This Jewish man, a genius of sorts, wrote DAS KAPITAL, the primer for socialism and communism that defined capitalism as a great world evil, social and economic, and "religion" as an "Opiate of the people." Both enslave mankind, he claimed. How did Marx, who started as a Christian ever come to write the Devil's playbook? Wurmbrand's book reveal's Karl Marx's former Christian past and his apostasy that led to the deep bondage of Satanism. Check it out if you can, by going to WorldNet.Daily for the book, with contact information given in the WorldNet.Daily article we have shared here. The article concerning Karl Marx and Christianity, and his fatal turn to Satanism is:

"Karl Marx: From Christian to Satanist," by Richard Wurmbrand

This book is a very heavy read, it must weigh 20 pounds, or so it feels! It is also very much like an encyclopedia, as it covers in detail 60 event-jammed years of the new nation of Israel since its refounding in 1948. With so many graphic pictures and scenes and interviews, the format is irresistable and eye-catching. It is very hard to put down, though the weight of the book is enough to pain your arms or your hands after a while. I don't know of any comfortable way to read this Daystar Television Network-published blockbuster--but it is worth the pain and discomfort handling it. I learned about the secular Israel more than I ever guessed, it will never, never get into the press, what really took place there these last six decades--there is just too much that happened that was important. Important--not just for Israel's development and destiny, but for all of Western Civilization and the world. I can claim that with assurance of no exaggeration because Israel is proving itself, over and over, the nation that is on the cutting edge of human development and progress. America is fast sinking back, but Israel is forging ahead, despite all opposition from its Muslim foes and the other rogue nations of the world who befriend them. Israel, despite its glaring faults and mistakes during the course of its hardscrabble, upward climb from an impoverished desert land to an oasis of world-class agricultural and technological production and innovation, is a true diamond among the 195 or so nations of the world. The others may shine in comparison--yes, they shine and glitter and have a certain lustre just like paste diamonds, but they are still glorified fakes, wherease Israel is the real jem, and like true diamonds, it will retain its value for a long, long time to come--in fact, when Christ comes back to rule from Jerusalem, Israel will be the supreme nation, the cynosure of the world, forever! Viva, Israel! America had its day, it may soon see itself wane into relative obscurity within the European-World Union's post-Christian world state--which the leader, the Anti-Christ will bring to a finale of destruction in only seven years. But, despite the seeming destruction and death of secular Israel in the clutches of the Anti-Christ (which would make God's Promises for Israel all lies and God himself a liar if Israel is utterly wiped out), when Christ comes and liberates the remnant, and they turn repentent and sorrowful to him as their Messiah and Savior, Israel's glorious future will have really just begun. At the same time, God's word will be triumphantly vindicated, and that is even a greater thing than Israel's deliverance and survival, and restoration to greater heights than ever before, though both are intimately tied in together.

You can get this volume, perhaps, from Daystar, by going to their website. It may be available from the author, Nissim Mishal. Amazom.com might be helpful in your search for a copy. But remember, it is very, very heavy! If you have weak wrists, it is not the book for you! You will definitely sprain them with this book! I am not joking! I am just giving you a warning maybe you should take seriously if you don't have logger's wrists and hands--like I don't!I thought I could whip it. But whatever I tried, it never got any easier to read. It was just so fascinating, I kept reading anyway and finished it, on the 399th page.

Please go for our commentary on this book, which we have mentioned before.

Commentary on "Can We Survive?" by John Hagee

I don't have this following book yet, but will make every attempt to get it. It is available now. I try to get used copies if I can--so much cheaper! Actually, the books don't look used, they were just over-stocked, and are categorized as used. You might look for it at the library too. This goes wonderfully along with our previous attempts to bring you these outstanding Christians, whom we must not forget, as their lives and writings speak most powerfully to us today if we have ears to listen to Bible based saints and preachers, that is.

Despite the rather cartoonish artwork, this is a scholarly work, with wonderful sights line after line! We will get an excerpt for you here soon, as this would be a wonderful book for you to acquire, if there is a copy somewhere, as it was printed in 1969 or so.

Campaign Save America

First Christian Settlements, Founding of America, and Great Awakenings, Intervention Numbers 1-6, "Campaign Save America" booklet, by Bob Fraley

Pastor Charles Stanley of Intouch Ministries has issued a call to all Christians to pray for America in league with his church. He declares that the current situation for America is a dire one, questioning whether our nation will survive. We must pray, or there is no hope for us that we will survive the terrible crisis we are in (which we have not faced before as a nation, Charles Stanley tells us).

THERE IS STILL GOD'S JUSTICE WE CAN CALL ON: We prayed about the giant media octupussy, Belo Corporation, a liberal newsmedia company headquartered in Dallas, Texas. Belo runs some big TV stations in my own Washington state, as a matter of fact, polluting the airwaves I noticed, with these local stations' heavy anti-Semitic, anti-Israel slant, right up until the Seattle massacre at the Jewish Federation building by a jehadist Muslim from Eastern Washington. Big rallies of showy, flowery, verbose compassion (never for true understanding of our enemies and prevention of future such crimes, of course!) for the victims were held in Seattle, thousands of gullible mourning the victims, and so a lot of attention was given nationally to the massacre and the Muslim shooter too (whom the media almost immediately was instructed by Belo to paint as a "mentally disturbed person," a "put-upon, unhappy, unfortunate individual" while playing down his publicly expressed Muslim jehadist cries at the scene of the crimes). After that I noticed the news did not attack Israel and the Jews quite so bitterly. "I wonder why!" They had certainly done all they could at Belo to create the climate for such an attack, and perhaps someone high up in Belo send down the word (perhaps the owner?) to tone down the anti-Semitic rhetoric. Well, we prayed that Belo would get a slap from God, and it did! I just heard how a Christian lawyer won a giant case against Belo for its mishandling of news in regard to a certain case of his client, reporting without evidence the claims of his client that according to Belo solved multiple unsolved murders in the Eastern states. He won mega mega millions in the case against Belo. Praise God for justice. This man was not the man responsible for all those murders, though he was a killer, apparently. Belo's reportage was outrageous, and this media giant thought it could get away with it, but this time they received what they were due: disgrace and an enormous fine.

Don't think you are just one little person when confronting huge injustices and big bad individuals and organizations--little you plus Almighty God are the majority!

FRIENDSHIP CENTER OF SUPPORT FOR THE APPLE OF GOD'S EYE, ISRAEL AND THE JEWISH PEOPLE:

"For the Lord has chosen Zion; He has desired it for His dwelling place. "This is My resting place forever; here I will dwell, for I have desired it."--Psalm 132:

Watching the Hasidim or Orthodox Jews pray at the Wailing Wall, called the Kotah in Hebrew, is quite a rare experience! My 101 yr. old mother and I have just been watching the virtual camera shot of the Kotah, showing this happening. Go and experience it yourself by going to Worldnet Daily, which has the virtual camera link on its page. We saw the end of some kind of Orlthodox Jewish service, with the chairs and furniture being taken away, but all the while men in Orthodox black suits were going up to the Wall and praying. One such, after praying, walked backwards the whole way from the Wall, as you would do to a king! To him it is the holiest place on earth, this retaining wall of the Temple platform that held the Jewish temple back until 70 A.D. This proves the Romans did not win by destroying the temple, for the Jewish spirit and love of the sacred temple still lives on after 2,000 years.

1. UPDATE EXCERPT ON THE IRANIAN NUCLEAR THREAT TO ISRAEL, AND 2. EXCERPT REVEALING THE BRITISH SECRET SERVICE ATTACKS ON JEWISH EMIGRANT SHIPS AFTER WORLD WAR II:

UPDATE: The highly successful Stuxnet virus inserted into the Iranian facilities' electronic systems govering the reactors and turbines and other essential equipment have disabled and damaged them so severely, Iran's push for nuclear bomb production from the fuel may have been set back 2-3 years, it is estimated. Praise the Lord! This spared Israel making an attack with warplanes that could have caused a war and also brought world condemnation down upon Israel for simply defending itself against a deadly, self-declared annihilator, Iran the Neo-Nazi Muslim police state and jehadist-snake- nester of the whole Middle East. The objective was accomplished, the crippling of Iran's nuclear program, without bloodshed and whatever else might have come from an actual attack and possible outbreak of region-wide warfare. Now all we have is the undeclared war going on between Israel and its attackers, the terrorist proxies of Iran--Hezbollah, Hamas, Fatah, Syria, etc. That is enough trouble for Israel to deal with, without America's real support. The Bible is being relived in present politics. We are pagan Egypt today (in the godless government and pagan society that supports it), the frail but seemingly strong, sturdy reed that Israel leans on, and it breaks and goes into little Israel's hand like a sharp stake! Israel was warned of old by the prophets (Jeremiah was notable among them) not to trust in pagan Egypt's alliance and help against her enemies--Egypt would fail, just as America now is failing and falling back. Israel must rely on God alone for her stronghold and deliverance. Only God can deliver Israel from her deadly, sworn enemies. And God, we know from the Bible, will never abandon Israel who stands alone in the world, surrounded by Muslim wolves, for He is Israel's Shepherd, and he will gather Israel to himself in the last day, delivering Israel from the Anti-Christ seeking to annihilate the Jews and Israel once and for all, so that God's word will be overturned and his promises and everlasting covenant with Israel annulled and cancelled. God will be vindicated. So will Israel as His chosen people and chosen place of residence and throne upon the earth.

The magazine News From Israel concerns the Iranian nuclear threat and Israel's possible response. Reagan is also mentioned, this time not so agreeably or positively. Along with this excerpt we followed with a little known action by British Agents who attacked Jewish emigrant ships. They both are related, if not in era and time, because they concern the anti-semitic world's relentless. attempt to destroy the Jewish people wherever they are, whether outside or inside the boundaries of the State of Israel. You would think that international law would protect travelers and people aboard passenger ships--not so! The British government respected no such things, and send teams of agents to blow up...well, go to the excerpts to find out yourself the dirty skullduggery they did, in order to secure postwar Britain the favor and the oil resources of the Arabs.

PERSECUTION CENTER:

SLAUGHTER OF CHRISTIANS WORLD-WIDE IS SOMETHING LIKE 500,000 A YEAR! DOES THE UNITED NATIONS CARE ABOUT THIS? HARDLY! THEY ARE CONTRIBUTING TO IT, AND INTEND TO INCREASE IT WITH THEIR WORLD-WIDE BLASPHEMY BAN BILL, WHICH WILL TARGET ALL CHRISTIANS AND PARTICULARLY EVANGELISTIC CHRISTIANS FOR PERSECUTION, IMPRISONMENT, AND EVEN DEATH. AND WE SUPPORT THIS ANTI-CHRIST ORGANIZATION WITH OUR TAX MONEY! Even before they pass this genocidal bill against Christians, this current number will only increase as the Muslim jehadist movement heats up, and even major wars ignited by Muslims ignite whole regions of the earth, bringing total devastation to the instigators as well as to innocent people. Buddhists and Hindus are also major persecutors and killers of Christians. Here in America where sectarian warfare is not tolerated or encouraged (unless it is secularist, liberal warfare against Christians and Christian institutions and godly, Bible-based values including patriotist and love of America), Hinduism and Buddhism spread a message of peace and love for everybody, which is hardly the case today in countries where they predominate, India and Nepal being Hindu and Buddhist-dominated countries, respectively. China, a communist nation like North Korea its little Gollum-like sidekick, is a bitter persecutor of Christians, particularly those of the free Underground Church and the Home Church movement. Can we doubt they will ever change? They will change when the nation turns Christian in the majority population, a day that is coming, but probably the Anti-Christ will come and the Tribulation Period will intervene before that can happen. Until then, Chinese believers will suffer greatly, just as they are doing right now, this very hour. What can we do? We can support VOICE OF THE MARTYRS, which is a ministry to the persecuted Christians in the world. And we can pray for our fellow believers!

FRIENDSHIP CENTER FOR MOSLEMS AND JEWS:

There is a terrible black beast for Judaism and a terrible brown beast for Islam--both are beasts in God's sight. We hear of an Orthodox Jewish gang beating up on a Jews for Jesus missionary in Haifa, and he was treated in a hospital--was that the love of God in those Orthodox Jews in Israel? Of course not. But they were expressing the hate and sectarian spirit of the black beast of Judaism. Islam too attacks Christians, Jews, Buddhists, and anyone who questions Islam's ways. is that the love of God? Of course, it is the brown beast expressing its hatred and anger and sectarian spirit. Buddhists and Hindus do the same things, attacking Moslems, attacking Christians, and attacking each other. How can these beasts ever be unified into a One World Religion--yet the Anti-Christ will accomplish this feat temporarily, we know from Revelation.

Religion put Christ in the Cross (the Romans were not atheists, they were polytheists, they believe in many pagan gods, and the religious Jewish authorities were expressing the will of the black beast of Judaism). Cain is the father of these beasts, we learn from scripture. He begat religion, and his religion slew Abel his brother when Abel's blood sacrifice of a lamb pleased God and his own vegetable and grain sacrifice (with a bad attitude no doubt of works righteousness) displeased God. Karl Marx, who wrote the founding documents of communism, was an apostate from Christianity and a liar, but he said one true thing: "religion is the opiate of the people." Religion killed the prophets of God. Religion kills countless people today, in acts of violence we have become all too accustomed to hearing about on the news. Religion in Iran threatens to turn the whole Middle East into a burning infero into to bring the Muslim messiah back from the well where he disappeared centuries ago, according to a Shiite Muslim legen. Religion is not a good thing--it has ushered untold millions of people into hell, and is doing so today, in fact.

God plays no favorites with religions, and Christianity is not a religion, though the religion that calls itself Christianity today is also a beast (I have no idea what color, as the other beasts were described to me in Israel by a missionary who dreamed and saw them). God does not love religion, he loves sinners, he loves people, his creatures. God loves a Moslem just as much as a Jew! His word says so! But God is Sovereign, and He chose the Jews as His special people for a special role, and the land of Israel for his chosen residence and seat of his throne in Jerusalem the capital.

True Jews, true Arabs, true Christians (and the false Christians too, of whom there are millions and millions) all must understand this fact about God.

Now about a true Arab who loves Jesus: This former Muslim and his ministry is so "hot" and real as a Christian now that I can't wait a day longer to tell you about him, so you can go see him in action, as he carries out a secret operation in Pakistan to get a terribly persecuted family (with a little girl named Neeha who was butchered, literally, by her Muslim rapist) out to safe haven in Canada with a Canadian passport legally issued to them thanks to his working on Canadian legislators through his human rights organization, One Free World International. His name? Majed El Shafie. El Shafie Ministry is on-line. The video is available on his home page, with another link to it as well:

It is absolutely spell-binding, listening and reading the accounts about Majed El Shafie, former Muslim from Egypt, who is a lawyer working now for human rights of Christians world-wide, but particularly those in the most terrible persecution in Asia and the Middle East. Avail yourself of this. You will be riveted to it. Every Christian who is one needs to know what is going on with these brethren in the frying pan and in the fire of Muslim persecution. See also his breaking news article, "Egypt at the Crossroads."

"Egypt at the Crossroads," Rev. Majed El Shafie's comments on the current civilian-led revolt in Egypt and the dangers it might entail for Christians and Israel and his fellow Egyptians

Neither Moslem or Jew will get to heaven by their own merit, good works, and religion (which, in the case of Jews, can be atheism, as large numbers of Jews are atheists). Jesus is the only Way to heaven that the Father provided. They need to hear this to decide their destiny for the better. Telling them is the task of Christians, the Great Commission given all us disciples and followers of Christ by Christ himself.

But is Islam true in its claims? Is Christian faith true? This needs to be decided by everyone involved. We can't have two faiths and two Gods. One only can be the truth. There are no ways to heaven, as Christ himself proclaimed to the world for all time--THERE IS ONLY ONE TRUE WAY. Muslims and Christians would certainly agree on this point! Most, that is!

The late Sir Lionel Luckhoo is still, via his writings, the world's expert on Islam, as you will find out by reading his messages on the primary burning questions of faith. He is what you call an "apologist" for our Christian faith, but he also knew Islam and studied it intensively, as he was intimately associated with it from his earliest years. Here is a second message from Sir Lionel, "Prophet or Son of God?" We have a beginning portion to spark your interest in perhaps the most important question there is:

"Prophet or Son of God?" by Sir Lionel Luckhoo

The best way to establish friendship, peace, and love is through the Word of God. Why not send $4 and purchase a Bible that will be given to Moslems somewhere in the world. This is the least you can do, but it can potentially reach hundreds of Moslems for Christ, and the ripples of those lives will someday reach you, with blessing.

Excerpt, from "Fire Over the Holy Land," by Gordon Lindsay

Sir Lionel Luckhoo, knighted twice by Queen Elizabeth, and judge and envoy of two sovereign nations at the same time, Guyana and Barbardos, was also a champion horse racer and, late in life, came to know the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ the Savior. He wrote a most powerful analysis, being a supreme court judge and also a lawyer also who won hundreds of cases with his brilliance and knowledge of the law. He could spot lies amidst the truth, and tell the difference. He examined both Christianity and Islam, compared them, and this is the result:

"Christianity or Islam, You Choose!" by Sir Lionel Luckhoo

A Muslim crescent over the Capitol? This is not sensationalist. This is present reality in Washington, right at the Capitol, in the very building itself. Seeking to make powerful friends with oil dollars to give them by the handcart, Washington politicoes in the highest levels of our government are handing over our sovereignty and our freedom, piece by piece, amendment by amendment, to a non-American, anti-American minority that is less than 2% of the total population!

Just because Moslems emigrated from their home countries and live in America now does not mean they are Americans and want to assimilate, they are actually citizens of a state within a state--the state, the government and law of Islam that comes with the religion.

Our leaders already handed the country over to a tiny, tiny minority--have they not?--a tiny minority that totals about 2% too, namely, the homosexual which is Radical Left, and the military too has just been handed over in the latest bill of Congress that President Obama demanded in order to repay his radical left homosexual supporters.

The crescent moon of Islam is now hanging over the Capitol like the legendary sword of Damocles, that will someday soon descend and cut off all our last freedoms from us, as Sharia law is implemented in law, just as has already happened in Britain.

The once great nation of Britain is no more. Britain's freedom is already destroyed by its radical left, socialistic secularists who have bowed shamelessly to Islam, betraying their own nation in order to gain politically and financially by their treason.

Our own country cannot be given up fast enough by our own secularist leaders and Congress! They want what Islam promises to bring: a non-Christian state that is authoritarian, centralized, and where the Constitution no longer means anything but what they say it means.

We Christians who are awake to this reality must pray and interceed, as nobody but Almighty God can deliver us out of the hands of our enemies who have kidnapped our country and are stripping us of our freedoms, day after day, using a corrupt, slavish U.S. Congress controlled by authoritarians, Democrats with some turncoat Republicans in name only, all acting according to the agenda of the White House where President Obama rules like a pharaoh or a Stalinist by executive decree and dozens of his powerful czars set over every sector of our society to do what he orders, thus completely circumventing the Constitution and all Congressional oversight and the necessity to legislate first before a law can be enforced.

The Muslim crescent has a star, I am well aware, which is red like the crescent moon they borrowed from ancient pagan religion and the Byzantines for their own standard. But what star is it? I can tell you. The Bible in the Book of Revelation says there is the star called Wormwood. It is so bitter that when it falls upon streams and rivers and lakes and all fresh waters, it turns them to bitter waters, impossible to drink. Wormwood is a judgment of God on the wicked, rebellious people on Earth who serve the Anti-Christ. Wormwood is the star of Islam too, which is a religion of the sword, a very bloody one at that. Wormwood kills just as many Moslems as Christians--as it is a two-edged sword, and the Bible said, in the prophecy of the angel given Hagar, that Ishmael and his descendants would be a people of the sword, and every man's sword would be turned against his brother. History has proven that out. Muslim Arabs and all over Muslim peoples are responsible for practically all the conflicts on earth, and it will remain so until the Anti-Christ imposes his false peace by force. But that will result in the greatest war of history, when most of the earth will be destroyed, and billions of people will perish. Only Christ, the Prince of Peace, will bring true peace, for he will bring peace first to men's hearts. Only then will peace will reign on earth, and not until.

It is indeed tragic that Tea Party candidate Sharron Angle in the last election was defeated by the powerful, incredibly corrupt Democrat political machine of Harry Reid when she ran against this genuine monster of corruption for the senate seat. Did you know that he got huge amounts of funding from the prostitution industry in Las Vegas and Reno? Oh, yeah! Many of his own constituents are well aware of his prostitution ties, but they still couldn't vote him out, he has such huge resources and was able to hold on once again to his seat in Congress. That is the kind of jerk and creep this guy is. No matter what it takes, no matter who he has to pander to, this reeking scumbag from hell is ready and willing to do anything to keep money and power in his filthy hands! He is like a bloated spider feasting on the blood of the whole nation, and is squatting there in the U.S. Senate, lipping his arachnid chops as his eight beady black eyes rove over his latest victims while he decides which one will be next! Is there anything more disgusting than this spectable than the real Harry Reid at work? This must end!!!! This must end!!!! Let's pray him out of power and his Senate position, Church! Pray him out! Whatever it takes, pray him out! Must we always endure oppressors such as this? This is not the Roman Empire yet. We can vote, we can pray, we can even demonstrate legally (things that were illegal and forbidden in the Roman Empire for most of its history). Paul never meant that Christians should supinely acquiese to tyranny, immorality, apostasy and oppression--he fought such evil things like a ferocious tiger, only he did it with spiritual weapons and preached against such things as well.

Where else is Reid so loved but in the Vegas and Reno dens of the sex traffiking of women? He is one spirit with these evils. He constantly perpetrates evil, as he stands up and lies constantly for his personal gain in the U.S. Senate. The Lord rebuke this master of deception who serves the king of lies, Satan. The voters who are honest and godly in Nevada tried to unseat him, and failed. God let the wicked voters and unions and vice lords of Nevada have this monster of theirs, for their own judgment. We feel very sorry for the wicked, as they have set their feet in a very slippery place that is really the edge of the abyss. Soon they will be going into it. And there will be no more grace and mercy for them. We pray the Lord will lead and guide this valiant woman, Sharron Angle, as she stands in some future role for constitutional liberties and the Ten Commandments and religious liberty in America.

Personhood, once legally established, according to the late Justice Blackmun of the U.S. Supreme Court, demolishes Roe Vs. Wade's whole legal standing, so this is a wonderful precedent, and North Dakota set it!

Another laurel wreath goes in tribute to the blind Chinese activist now in house detention with his mother and wife. He cannot go out, nor can his wife. Only his mother is permitted to go out and buy food. They are watched 24 hours a day, and access to them is cut off by police cars. What is his crime? He opposes the forced abortion policy of China. You can access the videos showing him at his prison-home and hear him tell in detail what the police are doing to him and his whole family. Go to Lifesites, the same that offered the videos on the East Coast Abortion Clinics offering help and counsel to a pimp (really an actor posing as a pimp for this sting operation), after he told them he ran a prostitution ring with underage girls.

A must-see is the latest videoed sting operation at a Planned Parenthood clinic (sic) joint on the East Coast, the title of which is "Planned Parenthood Aids Pimp's Underage Sex Ring." Live Action ministry performed this fantastic sting (the FBI couldn't have done a better job, and the only thing they could have done better was to arrest the Planned Parenthood manager, "Amy" the genocidalist and accomplice to sexual traffiking and child prostitution, and haul her immediately to the clink, her head down between her kneeds and her hands cuffed sitting in the backseat of a FBI van between two K9 dogs. This heinous dog-woman should go to jail right now, not later on. She will go to jail too! This video you can see by the link below shows her breaking the laws, one after the other involving underage girls being used for prostitution. Her abortion business is also breaking Federal Laws all the time--she is just not reporting the truth about her clients, as she makes perfectly clear as she advises the sting team, Live Action's pimp and lady prostitute come into her office to get information on how to "process" their underage girls for STDs and abortions.

Are you interested? Do you really want to see how absolutely nasty and cold-blooded Planned Parenthood is. I am grateful Amy's foul language was edited out. This young woman is a cold-blooded killing machine and lawbreaker masquerading as a young if rather plump professional clinician. She would have done just great at Auschwitz, Buchenwald, Treblinka, or any of the other Nazi death camps. She has all the right characteristics, and can even joke about what she does--she is so lese faire about it. Go see her for yourself. Pray for Amy--she is a lost soul headed straight to the lowest level of hell if she isn't turned around by the grace of God!

"Planned Parenthood Aids Pimp's Underage Sex Ring," by Live Action

The horrendous abortion industry of Planned Parenthood tried years back to enlist Dr. Martin Luther King to be be its "poster-boy" champion, but they could not get him, thank God. He supported the sanctity of human life, all human life, conception onward, and did not intend to play God and decide that some were "fetuses" and had no rights to life and some were protected by law. How does God, the Creator, look upon this? God always speaks of children in the womb as his children, not accidents or "fetuses" that are "blobs of tissue" and therefore can be discarded for the convenience of the woman involved if she so chooses. No! He gave his commandment, "THOU SHALT NOT MURDER." What is unclear about that commandment? God tells us not to commit murder, pure and simple. "Kill" is often used for "murder," but that word is ambiguous, and it is not the best rendering of the Hebrew word, I understand: God meant "murder," as killing is not necessarily murder, it is lawful defense of your own life against an attacker or defense of your home, community, and nation against an attacker.

Martin Luther King endorsed the culture of life, not the culture of death that presently rules in the black community and also in the "white" community as well. He would not be politically correct today, to put it mildly. He believed in God, believed in the word of God, which he preached, constantly referring to God and his truths. He believed in the family, in the sanctity of marriage. No wonder Planned Parenthood could not get him to endorse and promote their godless, heartless agenda of killing unborn children for profit, as he stands for everything they hate and oppose, which they do for inhuman greed and profit, not really "reproductive rights" as they always claim. I hear their repulsive, deceptive, "caring" ads frequently on the radio. They target the black communities, everywhere setting up clinics in black communities, and New York City has probably the highest rates of abortion in the nation, and it is no suprise that black communities are responsible for that huge rate, with something like 41 per cent mainly being black babies being aborted.

It is time for God to lay his hand of judgment on Planned Parenthood and destroy it root and branch! The best way for this to happen is to defund it of its tax money. Planned Parenthood has its hands in all our pockets, taking our tax moneies. Planned Parenthood is the largest abortion industry for profit in the world. It has destroyed untold numbers of human lives. America alone has lost forty million children to abortion, which amounts to 4,000 being murdered "legally" every day in the abortion-murder mills.

Shame on us! Shame on America! God will not let us continue this genocide forever! Soon we will be paying with a terrible attack on US soil, a catacylsm, whether of natural causes or by actual enemy attack, will take the living among us for all the precious children we have murdered. Yes, all of us are guilty! We have not voted as we should of, voting our principles and values based on the Bible and our faith in Christ. No, many of us voted for our economic welfare, for our paychecks, for our union membership, for power, for money--not not for God and the sanctity of human life. Good thing we were not aborted, we would probably agree, but why do we allow the aborting of others? How can we live with that? If I survived, that is all that matters? But why did God allow you to survive the abortion mill, just so you could help stick thousands of unborn children into it? We are all complicit, we cannot escape God's judgment. He holds us repsonsible, for we all vote, and we can all decide to give or not to give to pro-life organizations that are working so hard to stop this horrible mass murder and effront against God the maker of all life.

Remember the religious firebrand of Louis Farrakhan (his real name was Louis Eugene Walcott)?--the racist and black religious leader of the so-called "Nation of Islam"? From the lunatic statements I have heard reported on the "Black" radio station from him that related to Extraterrestrials, if I recall rightly, Farrakhan nee Louis Walcott should have sold vacuum cleaners for an honest living, rather than concoct a hate-filled religion of black supremacy under the guise of the religion of Islam. Dr. Robert Smith, the pastor of Calvary Baptist Church of Compton, California, writes this tract about Farrakhan. He has excellent credentials for doing so. He holds a MDiv from the International School of Theology and a ThD from Evangel Christian University of America. Previously, he was a sergeant in the U.S. Marine Corps (which, by the way, the "brilliant" Commander-in-chief, the ivy league educated Barack Obama mispronounces "Corps" as "Corpse"--which is not funny at all if it is meant to be a joke at the expense of our brave, sacrificial military!!!).

Dr. Smith states that before the transformation into the fiery Black Islamicist, Walcott was "Calypso Gene," a nightclub entertainer. Malcom X was one of the young radical men associated with him in earlier days, at least until someone murdered him after he denounced the teachings of Elijah Muhammad, his former mentor, and questioned his character. He assisted Malcom X (originally Malcom Little) at the Harlem mosque before going to the Boston mosque. You have to remember Farrakhan (Walcott), however, as he is in the news frequently, being quoted or cited in some way. He represented a faction called "Nation of Islam," and was its chief representative. But how did this false religion get started here in America? Please return for the excerpt soon from a great booklet by an authority on this subject called "Nation of Islam."

GLOBAL WARMING HOAX CENTER:

Talk about a wealth and power grab! This is a world-wide swindle of global scope. Power and wealth grabbing elites have used this hoax to push the world's panic button, to stempede billions into taking their placebos and panaceas and agendas in order to "save the planet." These elites are shameless and trying to capitalize on the misery and oppression of the whole world for their own gain and advancement. Scientists who want to capitalize too for their own careers' sake--or are intimidated by powerful people in office who hold the pen that signs the payroll checks for the scientific community--are compromising sciene for the sake of their bank book. Shame on them! They have thrown science and truth overboard, and care nothing for the misery they are helping to inflict on the world.

Global Warming is an incredibly unscientific, malicious harmful hoax, and our energy-starved world is waking up to the harm and falsity of it, as the whole planet experiences the lowest temperatures in years and years even while Obama is working to shut down as many oil rigs and drilling operations in America as he can to increase our dependency on the dictatorial regimes in the Middle East for the oil they sell us. Leftists don't learn, they just must be removed from power as soon as possible before they do any more damage! By the voting ballot, not the bullet--not by the bullet, which is the choice of Leftists, you notice, in the latest mass murder in Arizona?

Leftist-ruled Europe itself is experiencing the lower temps, as the Gulf Stream shifts, and half of what formerly went up from the warm parts of the Atlantic no longer goes up the East Coast of America and over to northern Europe and Scandinavia. Well, we'll see how the politics of Global Warming go--but it is not looking good for people like Al Gore! He is going to go down as one of the biggest swindlers on earth, despite his Nobel Prize and Oscar! Want to be in his shoes when people realize he is running up a huge carbon footprint with his dirty private jets, then garnering huge amounts of money from speaking engagements for Global Warming, all the while denying and ignoring the evidence that is rolling in continuously that disprove his absurd theories.

Despite all the traps that the Far left in America, aided by the Far Left billionaires like George Soros who hate a free and Christian American with a demonic passion (ever seen a picture of this guy? he looks like a gangster, and he is a gangster, though he associates with the world's great political leaders and top bankers).

I made the recent acquaintance of Pastor Eugene Evans Sr, who is a Pastor of a Las Vegas church for gangsters, the TAG. U.L. Church. He himself was a gangster at one time, he told me, before turning to the Lord for salvation. He knows perfectly how to communicate to gangsters, the homeless, drunkards, thieves, addicts of all kinds, people living immorally. Las Vegas has all such kinds, of coure, chiefly due to the organized crime and prostitution and other evils generated by the gambling industry, but so do all cities and towns in a morally deteriorating America. Yet Pastor Eugene Evans Sr. knows how to speak to them their own street language, having experienced the depths they know and are mired in and can't escape on their own. He gave me three poems and a CD I can share with you, after I asked his permission to use them. The poems are for the homeless, the drinkers, and the immoral, to show them a way out of their mess:

We haven't mentioned before that we have a Northwest Poetry Center that you can access, which will give you some spiritual poems as well as poems that are centered directly on current, hot button moral and political issues. We believe like the great Spurgeon, a firebrand of a preacher in 19th London, that our faith ought to be active in the public arena, strenuously engaged, dealing as powerfully as we can with the issues of the day, not ignoring them like self-blinding ostriches with their heads stuck in sand. Christ confronted the issues head-on, did he not? He struck at sin, death, the devil, and had some pointed things to say to his human enemies too, did he not? He didn't tackle the Roman Empire for the reason he had far bigger foes to confront and defeat, and the Roman Empire was insignificant compared with them. You can go to Northwest Poetry at:

God of the Winter Time

Jan-Snow

2 Isa. 1:18--Come now and let us reason together, saith the Lord, though your sins be as scarlet they shall be white as SNOW.

9 Prov. 26:1--As SNOW in summer, so honor is not seemly for a fool.

16 Isa. 55:10--For as the rain cometh down and the SNOW from heaven, and returneth not thither but watereth the earth...so shall My Word be that goeth forth out of my mouth.

23 Prov. 31:21--She is not afraid of the SNOW for her household, for all her household are clothed with scarlet.

30 Rev. 1:14--His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as SNOW; and his eyes were as a flame of fire.

David Hathaway, the British founder of the mission of Gospel and evangelism and healing to the former Soviet Union republics of the Far East, and the countries of former Soviet-ruled Eastern Europe, starts off his first article with the startling declaration: "Paul, Apostle and Evangelist, says in Romans 1:16, "'I am not ashamed of the Gospel of Christ.' Why? Because it is the greatest demonstration of the power of God on earth!--It is the power to deliver everyone that has got faith!"

That is absolutely true, as a description of the Gospel. It is the greatest demonstration of the powr of God on earth. David Hathaway's ministry to the former Soviet Union bloc nations has got to demonstrate this powser, as nothing else can transform lives. Thousands of healings occur as well as thousands of people reborn as new creatures in Christ under his preaching. The Gospel proclammation he gives is plain and simple and so powerful that miracles of healing spontaneously break forth. He claims to heal no one. He lets God do this, as God promised, when the scriptures promise that signs and wonders, true miracles of all kinds, would follow those who hold up the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the world. That this is so, accounts for the doors being opened to him across the vast Eurasian continent and its hundreds of millions of people and dozens of different cultures and languages. It is perhaps the most diverse region on earth, but the plain, unadorned Gospel can penetrate every barrier (including terrific opposition and demonization by hostile orthodox churchmen resisting the Holy Spirit's move among the people, drawing them to freedom in Christ) set up by the state or opposing secularists and authoritarians. Where one door is slammed shut, another opens, even wider than ever! The KGB couldn't stop him. Imprisonment in a communist Czechoslovakian prison couldn't stop him. Russian police couldn't stop him. Irate, insecure orthodox churchmen with their fiefs of religion-shackled souls to protect couldn't stop him. For sixty years he has been preaching the wondrous, liberating Gospel, and his ministry grows, and is recognized by the highest leaders and heads of countries.

This is a worthy, fruitful, exciting ministry to support! Go to his Eurovision website, or to his magazine and subscribe to it free.

"Prophetic Vision" with David Hathaway, Evangelist

This issue of BAR has a terrific archeological discovery article concerning King Herod's tomb at Herodium, his own name for the arresting, conical, volcano-shaped fortress-palace in the Judaean wilderness that you can see from Jerusalem on a clear day. I saw it easily from Bethlehem, which is much closer, but even then it was an enigma, just a name really, still holding on to its secrets. Now Herod's actual casket was discovered, it is quite well proven, and after all these thousands of years you can see it with your own eyes, the fragments of the beautiful, carved reddish limestone have been reassembled and fit together like a puzzle. Herodium also is a major cultural site in the world. When you consider that King Herod, called "Herod the Great" by his friends the Romans, built even more magnificently at Jerusalem on the Temple Mount, erecting the most splendid structure in the world, the Jewish Temple (a reconstruction of the 2nd Temple which was not yet completed at his death and continued to be worked on for forty years afterwards), Herodium is only slightly less impressive in overall size and intricacy. This is why I say such a thing. It was unbelievably ornate, lavish, and immense, including a fabulous palace fortress on top of a high, artificial hill, half of it buried within the hill, set with towers where Herod and his guests could enjoy the spectacular view and dine on the finest delacacies while sipping from golden goblets, and the complex full of palatial rooms, apartments, dining rooms, baths, etc. That alone was most noteworthy, but it was only one part. Herodium also contained a world-class theater for 450 guests, with a royal box painted with the finest frescoes as its chief jewel, and near the theater (which was demolished early on, so as not to eclipse the mausoleum that followed) an exquisite mausoleum for his own stupifyingly lavish burial, and more yet: a monumental staircase up the hillside to it, and beneath that a huge parade ground, and then the lower palace, truly immense, that looks like a labyrinth, with pools, gardens, and even a lake-sized pool fit for boating with an island adorned with a pavilion or temple on it--all this in the midst of a bone dry Judaean desert! We will not even describe Caesarea, the entire port and city in Roman style that Herod built on the coast to honor his friend and patron, Caesar Augustus.

This article is the product of over thirty years of bone-crunching work in intensive archeological digging and classification and study. The author died soon after writing it, as he fell at the site and died in the hospital two days later from his injuries. It is a rather magnificent last achievement for a noted Jewish archeologist. Herod's secrets were laid bare, thanks to him, secrets that were kept covered by the sands of the the Judaean wilderness for two thousand years.

What is my particular impression? What is my take on Herod and his masterpieces of architecture? This man was the Dunce of the Classical Roman World, or one of the chief dunces. He built sparing no expense, grinding the Jewish people into the dust to pay for his extravagances, all to exercise his colossal vanity and self-love and to flatter Caesar Augustus and all the important people of the day whom he sought to impress with his "greatness." How insecure his ego must have been! That billion-dollar complex of palaces and baths and pools and gardens and fortress called Herodium, where hechose to set his tomb as the chief ornament, it all went to ruin within sixty years or so of his death, apparently destroyed by the Jewish rebels when they revolted against the Romans (66-70 A.D.). His tomb was smashed to bits, his mausoleum leveled. The palaces, both on the mount and below it, probably destroyed at the same time, when the Romans returned with the legions under Vespasian and Titus his son to crush the Jews, which they did, wiping out something like 1 million Jews, along with the Temple and much of Jerusalem, and also Masada, and perhaps Qumran too. Romans could do a thorough job when they set themselves against a declared enemy. All of Herod's glory-- smashed and soon buried beneath drifting sands and dust--waiting the archeologist's spade thousands of years later! The vanity of Herod is beyond grasping! This pathetic, blood-thirsty, egocentric, much-hated, much-feared king, who had hundreds of Jewish notables rounded up, imprisoned, and sentenced to die as soon as he ceased to live, just so there would be tears shed when he passed away, died the most excruciating, sickening death imaginable, which is described by Josephus. You don't want to read it! What Herod is no doubt going through right in hell, well, no doubt he realizes too late what a fool of Satan he was. Jesus may have been referring to him when he commented, "What does it profit if a man gain the whole world and lose his own soul?" Take heed, Generalissimo Hugo Chavez, take heed, take heed, Fuehrer Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, take heed Czar Putin, take heed Chicoms and NorthKorcoms! A much greater despot than any of you came to absolute destruction and disgrace after defying Almighty God and his prophet. Where Herod went and is presently being eaten of worms and roasting in a pitch dark, horribly smelly furnace of unending flames, with no exit possible, you too will go unless you repent and turn to Jesus Christ for salvation and forgiveness of your sins and crimes! And you, Miss Goody-Two-Shoes, sitting so nicely in choir every Sunday, a Bible on your lap. You're just as rotten and sinful as Herod in God's holy eyes. You're going to the same place if you don't repent and confess to the Lord and receive forgiveness of your sins. Your goodness won't save you in the least, just as Herod's magnificent architecture didn't save him in the least from God's just punishment of him. His friends, Caesar Augustus on down, couldn't save him either. They too are in hell--with the devils using them for trampolines and target practice. It isn't pretty. It is reality. Like Detroit, it may not be pretty, but it still exists. Why not deal with it now and make sure you don't go there? Once there, you cannot change your mind.

David Pett is a kind of religious version of Shylock Holmes. Based on his excellent researches and his own mature spiritual and theological knowledge, he has "sleuthed out" the truth about Universalism as well as a number of other current deceptions and very popular false teachers who are acting as wolves among God's sheep, devouring whomever they can deceive.

Judgment Warnings from God need to be heeded. I belive this a true warning from God to all of us in America. The "Recent Dream" by Robert Krebs, a friend and an evangelist to America (Mission to USA)-- tt will be a gripping, challening experience for you, I can promise you.

"Robert Krebs's Recent Dream," for Americans and People Everywhere

In connection and conformation of this dream, you might well get ahold of a copy of "Storm Warning," the latest book by Billy Graham. It is available at book stores, or by contacting the blly Graham website.

Whatever form it takes, whoever promotes it, "Replacement Theology" is one of the most pernicious heresies that the Church has ever evidenced, sown into the heart of Christ's Church by Satan himself in the lst century. Today it is flowering once again, a noxious weed in evangelical circles. This "theology" is no innocent thing. It is responsible for the deaths of countless Jews, at the hands of so-called Christians, including the Nazis. Look at the company this wicked heresy keeps: mass murderers, persecuting Roman emperors, African rulers, Muslims and their clerics, sultans, and caliphs, Polish kings, Russian czars, Spanish despots, English tyrants, Roman Catholic prelates and popes in Inquisitional days. It will precipate the last massacre during the coming reign of Anti-Christ. Some big-name evangelicals endorse this horrible heresy too--God forgive them! R.C. Sproul, the late Dr. James Kennedy--well, those are great names, are they not? But great men of God can err--this has occurred time and again. The Great Reformer, Martin Luther himself stumbled badly into anti-semitism, when he condemned the Jews of Germany for rejecting his overtures concerning the Gospel. Hitler took Luther's words and used them to justify the attack he made all-out on the Jews of not only Germany but the Nazi-occupied countries of Europe. What a terrible legacy Luther's ill-advised words earned him! Has the church learned from his stumble? No! We do no learn from history, even church history, do we?

Eben's prophecy that performs judgment, well deserved, on this doctrine of Satan:

"I am Jehovah-Jesus. I have not changed. I cannot change. Yet you would replace Me? Who can stand in My place or sit on the right hand of My Father? Yet you say you have replaced the Jews, My Chosen People, whom I chose before the world's foundation to be a special people to Me to bear My Word. But they were rebels, you say. You say I rejected them. Not so! My servant Paul testified by the Spirit that it is not so, that My people are rejected of God. Is he a liar? Is the Spirit of God a liar Who spoke to you through him? God forbid! Paul said. Ah, yes, My people were rebellious, but are you not rebellious just like them? I have endured you Gentiles two thousand years, and during all that time you have been rebellious toward Me. Can you deny that? Then name the time you were not rebellious toward Me, and correct Me! If you reject the people of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and refuse to bless them, if you curse them and put yourselves in their places, should not the curse I promised those who do such things fall upon you and even your nation? I must be true to My Word. Surely, I will curse you if you reject and curse My beloved people the Jews. Listen and obey, lest you lose all the blessing received from My hands. The Jews will always be the apple of My eye. Then where is your gratitude to them for all they have given to you Christians of Gentile stock? They gave you the Prophets and the Word. They gave you Myself, your Savior and Lord. They gave you the Apostles, My first disciples. You gave them nothing for all these great gifts. You could give them nothing, for all that time you were lost in your sins, sunk in darkness, under Stadan's bondage. So repent and change your hearts, humble yourselves, and bless the Jews, the Chosen People, into whose blessing you were grafted by Christ, by the Spirit of God."--Eben

"Is He, or Isn't He?", excerpt from ISRAEL MY GLORY, Jan/Feb 2009, article by Steve Herzig

Howard E. Kershner, Ph.D., writes in the Lutheran Digest, Fall 1966, how socialism is a dead end, in his article, "The Future of the Welfare State." Actually, a socialist welfare state has no future you would want for yourself and your children! See for yourself if you want what Obama and his crew proposes for America and your children:

There is no future for the welfare state, and that means there is no future for Obama's welfare state, which he has made out of America! See the reasons why:

I am writing this "off the cuff," with no crib notes to speak of. It just goes to show that he has made an impression on just one American among the over 300 million of us!

One of America's all-time favorite solo sing artists (a true virtuoso in his field) is George Beverly Shea. His career, before and during and now finally retired from Billy Graham crusades, has been so notable and nationally influential that he is receiving the "Lifetime Achievement Award" at the Grammys this month of February. His signature song has to be "I'd Rather Have Jesus," which he first put to music and sang in his parents' home. In an interview on a Bill Gaither's music video, he told Bill Gaither how it all happened, how he and this great song came together. The lyrics had been written by a lady in 1922, and he was about 23 at the time his mother put it out for him to see when he first sat down at the piano. The lyrics so inspired him, he produced the music and sang it, and it changed his life. "It had the intended effect (intented by his loving mother!)," he said, as his mother knew these lyrics would speak powerfully to him, and they certainly did! You see, as this very decisive time of his budding career, he had some very alluring offers from the secular music world in his hand. He been considering a serious offer from the opera world to go and sing opera; instead, because the song, "I'd Rather Have Jesus" settled it in his heart what he really wanted in life, he chose to sing for Christ all his life instead, and we know now he made the right, best decision. Many other rising young stars chose opera or the rock world or some other lucrative field of music where they could win fame and fortune. Shea too, with that magnificent voice of his and the wonderful personality, could have made a fortune and gained great fame in opera at all the major opera houses here and in Europe. But he counted the glitz and the gold nothing, less than nothing to gain everything worthwhile and lasting in Christ!

He is known for many other well-known songs too, including "How Great Thou Art," which he first popularized for the American people by singing it 90 some consecutive times at the epic, long-running New York City Crusade in the 1950s. Is he still around and singing for audiences? Yes, indeed! He is 102 years old, and still singing for people. He drove up into his nineties too. Isn't this the example that should be held up to younger people? They can't go wrong if they follow in his footsteps, choosing as he did in his early twenties.

The examples now being held up and wildly popularized everywhere you look are LOSERS, not winners. George Beverly Shea is a TRUE WINNER. He has no regrets, no regrents of misspent talent that was lost to vain and broken dreams and taking the wrong road in life. He has only joy, after a lifetime of sharing his gift of song with the whole world for the sake of glorify Christ the Savior. And his sense of humor is intact, he has an Irish twinkle still very much alive as his love for others is alive and well. These people never really die--they just graduate to heaven and all its glories.

SAINT-BUILDING AND PREACHING/TEACHING CENTER

Discipling is perhaps the most important thing to be done today by the churches, with salvation being the means to open the door to true discipleship.

Why then, are Christian churches in America producing precious few disciples today? Why? And what does it matter? It matters everything to a Christian who has been born-again--yet few Christians know what disciplesship means despite all the "Leadership" and "Discipleship" seminars and conferences the past ifty years. Compare what this article describes with waht passes as a committed Christian today. You should see a glaring difference! But let's look at ourselves, using the article for a mirror, then do something about it. Pointing fingers gets us nowhere spiritually.

What is the Last Prophetic Feast? Perhaps we ought to know--for it may soon begin, and we should be prepared if we can be. Pat Robertson identifies the major feasts of the Bible, and how they worked out in past Church history. Only one remains to be fulfilled prophetically and in actuality. Find out by reading his remarks. It may suprise you how important it is:

How big is your God, friend? Is my God really "god" with a small "g," a god among many other lesser gods people worship today in our idolatrous popular culture and pagan society in America? Here is a thought that may help put "God" back where he belongs, as the Mighty One of Israel, in your heart and life:

"Expanding Jesus to Y'shua," by Eben

Are you "small change" in your own eyes, Christian friend? Well, in God's eyes he has no "small-change" children, since all of us were paid for by his most precious treasure, His Only Begotten Son Jesus. You may be a Fast Foods restaurant worker, a grease monkey in a drive-through lube joint, a gas station/store attendant, a checker at the grocery store, an attendant at a car wash, a hamburger slinger at McDonalds--in God's eyes, that doesn't make you less than the President or a member of Congress or a corporation CEO--not a whit! All those V.I.P's are no more important than you are! Many ministries and churches too may seem "small change" in comparison with worldly standards. These standards are promoted everywhere, even in Christian circles where "mega-churches" seem to attract all the attention and admiration. It is hard not to be discouraged sometimes, and belittle or demean ourselves because we are not anything noteworthy in the world's estimation. So here is the perfect word for us, who (if we are honest with ourselves) feel that way:

WHAT IS PIETISM?

The movement of Pietism had truly profound effects on the Christian church in both Germany and in America. We can benefit to know who led the movement and learn what it is that Pietism was about and aimed to achieve. Here is a CharisLife article, "Lutheran Pietism," which we are bringing to your corner of the world to shed light on this great movement in the Protestant churches, that not only restored devotion to Christ in dead-as-a-doornail churches, but birthed from a formerly dead, stone-cold womb of confessional religionism innumerable Protestant missions and ministries to the whole world.

Hudson Taylor has some wonderful encouragement for us who are struggling to run the race of faith:

"We are asked to do an impossible task, but we work with Him who can do the impossible."--Hudson Taylor (Founder of China Inland Mission)

LIVING FREE Introduction and "Pray in Great Faith"

Billy Graham: "Cover Yourself":

DEAR MR. GRAHAM: I am an insurance salesman. The other day I ran across someone who said he didn't want any health insurance because he just trusted God for the future, and since God was going to take care of him, he did not need any insurance. I just wondered what you think of this--A.N.A.

DEAR A.N.A.: This man was no doubt sincere (unless he was just trying to get rid of you!), but I wouldn't agree with his understanding of faith.

Yes, God has promised to take care of His children. But this doesn't mean they are exempt from illness or fires or accidents, for God has not promised that. Nor does it mean they are to ignore common sense and refuse to take preventive measures or to save--either to avoid such things or to overcome the financial effects of such events.

In fact, the Bible repeatedly warns us against laziness and thoughtlessness, and urges us to plan ahead and be diligent and thrifty so we can avoid disaster: "Go to the ant, you sluggard: consider its ways and be wise...it stores its provisions in summer and gathers its food at harvest...), but) poverty will come on you like a bandit and scarcity like an armed man" (Proverbs 6:6,8, 11). Deliberately refusing to provide for the future is not wise or prudent. If this man becomes ill and cannot pay his hospital bill, someone will pay--his relatives or society or some other person. But why should others bear the burden of his imprudence? In our own organization we have sought to provide as full insurance as we can for our staff.

This man has, however, pointed to an important truth that I hope you will take to heart. Our futures are in god's hands, and no matter how much we try to accumulate, He alone should be our security. Are you building your life on Christ and seeking to serve Him every day?--Seattle-Post Intelligencer, Date Unknown

RAPTURE ANYONE? Today I saw a business vehicle with a Rapture Warning sign on the back, which said there would be really rough times ahead after the Raptuure--which I found refreshing to see, as it is a very visible warning that people can read and later remember as the events are unfolding before their very eyes. You never know what that single sign may do to turn people to the Lord. It is bound to provoke some serious thought in some of those who see it!

This too is a sign of the times, that we are in the last gasp phase of the Church Age: The first century church doctrine of the Rapture is being attacked now in evangelical circles as never before. What is meant by the term "rapture'? As defined by a good Bible teacher on the TBN channel, the Greek "harpozo", the snatching or catching up, spoken of in I Thess 4: 13-18 and described further in I Cor. 15: 51-52 as occurring "in a moment," in a cosmic event occurring in a tiny unit of time so small it cannot be divided. It is translated "rapturo," in the Catholic Vulgate translation by Jerome, that was the most used Bible translation of the Western or Roman church for a thousand years or more. Hold fast to this doctrine, for it is so important (for it isn't the Roman Catholic doctrine in origin, it is an Early Church doctrine, it is Pauline). The Second Coming does not snatch or catch up all believers in Christ in a nano-second--far from it. The Second Coming means that Christ will come down to earth to rule for a thousand years, so the snatching or catching up, the Rapture, mut occur before that time. Most evangelicals would place that event somewhere before the Tribulation and Great Tribulation periods. In any event, it must occur befor the Anti-Christ embarks on the world stage, as he will rule all those who are left behind. Those snatched or caught up (raptured, even said to be "translated") will meet our Lord Jesus Christ in the air. He will come like a "thief in the night," scripture says. In complete contrast, the Second Coming will reveal Christ to the entire world simultaneously when he steps down upon the Mt. of Olives and his foot splits it instantly into two pieces. That will get everyone's attention, as his lightning like appearance lights up the skies globally. You could not be more visible than that! The Rapture will be glorous, too, but viewed only by the saints caught up. What the world will see will be the catastrophic effects in society of the mass disappearances, they won't see Christ and the saints in the clouds, coming or going. Later, perhaps 7 years later, at the close of the Great Tribulation Period when the Anti-Christ and his prophet are cast into hell, Christ will come triumphantly into view, descending to the Mt. of Olives just as he said he would to his disciple shortly before his ascencion into the clouds. All this could come about in the next ten years? Rapture, Tribulation/Great Tribulation, Anti-Christ and his Rule and Ultimate Defeat, the 144,000 Jewish Billy Grahams leading a world-wide revival and then suffering beheading, the Second Coming and the Beginning Millennial Reign of Christ! The Destructions of the Earth, the deaths of billions of wicked people defying God tot helast gasp, are also included. So don't sell out the Rapture so you can fit in with a politically correct church theology or a trendy evangelist seeking to build bridges with other faiths. The Rapture, as you can see by this, is a very important prophetic link to the Millennial Kingdom of Christ. Keep this doctrine and cherish the truth of it. We have a wonderful event to look forward to, but we must prepare ourselves. Don't be caught sleeping, careless in your Christian walk. We are to "be sober and watch," which means what it says. What soldier is worth his uniform who sleeps on the job when he is supposed to be watchful, sober, and alert? He not only endangers himself but his whole unit. If he is a drinker and then goes to fighting, so much the worse for him, when the commander comes suddenly and issues the orders to march! We are Christian soldiers, men and women and children. Let us live worthy now of the high calling we have! Then we will not be ashamed when Christ suddenly appears above the earth to snatch us up instantly and secretly to himself!

What happens afterwards? The Left Behind Series of Tim LaHaye is one explanation. There are many others, though not so popular. One version intrigues me, as it says the Rapture will be so catastrophic to America, that America will be in a state of chaos, the economy shattered, the military in disarray, the whole nation unable to cope. The reason why it would be particularly devastating to America is that evangelical Christians constitute 8 to 10 million, possibly more, who hold all sorts of key positions in society and government; the sudden disappearane of them, without explanation, will perhaps damage America so severely that the European Union will have to fill the gap in the world power structure that America can no longer fill. Overnight, America will becoe subservient to the European Union. That is quite possible. A terrorist attack, and perhaps an economic melt-down, a nuclear attack, a natural cataclysm of some kind, perhaps occurring together, could also result in the elimination of America from being a superpower among the world powers. However it happens, America will be eliminated as a major player in the End-Time events starting with the Rapture. Look for it! Get ready for it! Read the Bible, obey it, cultivate your God-given role in your church however small and thankless (for God sees what you do, and that is all that matters), pray unceasingly, love your enemies (hard to do, oh, yes! and not that you must like them, but in the Lord's love, love them for their souls' sake!) and pray for them--and trust God and love him with all your heart. That is our responsibility, as the Rapture will take us as we are, it will not give us a moment to get ready or to "get our act together." That's a sobering thought, is it not? It is for me, friend!

Dunce of the World Center:

The biggest dunce in America is he or she who can vote but chooses not to (when there is no good, valid reason not to vote, unless you are in a communist or totalitarian state, which we are not). That person forfeits a free America by his decision, not only for themselves but everyone else! Not only for this generation, but for generations to come!

DUNCE OF THE WORLD CENTER

REALITY CHECK CENTER:

A WORD ON VALENTINES DAY, TODAY: If so-called legislators and the so-called chief executive in the Guv'ment in Washington (Chocolate City, where most people go for hand-outs these days) can use a bully pulpit, even department heads sermonizing from bully pulpits whenever they want to, why can't we as citizens? Here is the WORD FOR THE DAY.

"Love is Action" I've known for a long time that my generation, the one presently in charge, is selfish, self-centered, self-indulgent, concerned with SELF, SELF, SELF. Oprah is the quintessence of what this generation is all about, and capitalizes on selfishness: it has earned her billions! "You can have it all," she preaches. Selfish peiople eat up this false gospel of hers. Self defines what it is all about. Consequently, this generation of mine neglects its parents (not to mention their children). My family is no different, my mother is neglected in her advanced old age, though she continues to love them dearly and prays for them daily. Even on Valentines Day she got only a card or two, one little bouquet, a call from another state, and a call from a nearby town. Pathetic, for such a big, big family as this one! I have seven siblings! They married and have families, and the families had families! One sister came up with a dinner for mom at her place. Oh, one letter too. The rest of my siblings and all mom's grandchildren and great-granchildren--it seems there is no Valentines Day on their calendars, except for themselves of course! I told my sister this, and she thought it was "just terrible for me to say that the family does not love Mom." I had to remind her that real love is ACTION. You can say you love a person, even put on a big show now and then that you love them, but if all the rest of the year you neglect them, well, that is proof you DON'T LOVE THEM, YOU LOVE YOUR ROTTEN SELF.

HERE IS A CHANCE FOR YOU TO BECOME A TRULY LOVING PERSON: LOVE THAT PERSON YOU CLAIM TO LOVE, BY LOVING THEM THE WHOLE YEAR ROUND! Yes, the whole year round, not just on a few holidays in the year. It is that simple and true. Otherwise, keep on being a selfish SOB that you always have been, putting on a show now and then to impress others that you are a loving person, while you keep from facing the fact you are nothing but a miserable hypocrite and fake. With a few exceptions I can be proud of, my family is full of hypocrites and fakes--it is the present generation now in charge, and it is despicable. Their children are following their parents too, becoming just like them in most respects. The charade rolls on! What a legacy my generation will have: a bunch of little S.O.B.'S (Saved Only Babies, selfish as babies are naturally) neglect them in their old age! What goes around, comes back around, the old saying goes, and it is so true. (If this language offends you, go read the unexpurgated Hebrew of the Bible in Jeremiah, Isaiah, Ezekiel and the other prophets! It often borders on what is termed hate speech and the obscene. Jesus the Son of God didn't pull any punches either when dealing with the Pharisees and scribes whom he said were preventing others from entering into salvation in God's kingdom.) My generation will reap what it has sown--using Biblical language. It is a moral law in the universe, and still stands despite the garbage theory of Evolution that has everyone, including most Christians, so confused today. Count on a miserable old age yourself if you continue to LOVE WITHOUT ACTION. You can surround yourself with all the things you like, but you still know in your heart that you are a first-class jerk (and there is no gender discrimination here, both men and women can be jerks!).

WITCHIFICATION ON THE JOB: Lately, I went to a discount type store and needed information, so I turned to a clerk. I couldn't believe what I was facing. For the life of me, I thought I was looking at someone in a Halloween costume, though it was after Halloween, for the young lady had all kinds of big and small rings in her nose and lips, and to big, reddish-dyed hornlike curls on her forehead, and the rest of her was just as strange. She had completely distorted her looks to approximate some kind of devilish creature--why, I don't know, unless she suffers acutely from low esteem and this is the only way she feels she can get attention she craves.

Do you celebrate Halloween all year long? Do you wear a mask? What are you hiding? Why don't you let others know the real you? Are you sure they won't like you and will reject you? Mask-wearing has to be self-imposed slavery. It costs a lot to live a lie. How about freeing hyourself from that mask and game-playing? Cathy Mogus is one who did. Read about her experience of what happened at her high school class's 30th year reunion. It could help you a lot. It will me too!

"Removing Your Masks," by Cathy Mogus

Unless you are totally blind and deceived, you can see these times are evil, very evil. Evil looks pretty good on the surface usually, but it is stinking and rotten and toxic beneath the glittering surface. Has the evil rubbed off on you any, friend? Are you now experiencing that subsurface reality and feel a little dirty afterwards? A little disgusted after what you indulged in? Do you ever do a spiritual Spring Cleaning? Well, this site does one, periodically, and here is an article that will operate in that way.

Christ is coming soon. Jesus says so to countless people. Soon he's coming back. Are you ready, friend? Really ready? Cmon, don't lie about it. Chances on, you're not ready, if you're choosing to play footsie and patsy with evil, you're just playing stupid games with God, thinking you have plenty time to get real and get your act straight.

Wrong! You're really Dumb, and Dumber! You don't have that kind of time. Nobody has. All we have is this moment, and the next is anyone's guess what it will be for you or me. So, the Reality Manual for Life, The Holy Bible, says to you and me, "Examine yourself! See if you be in the faith as once delivered to the apostles and by the apostles!"

We notice that more of you are coming to the site than before, and why, pray tell, are you coming? What are you looking for? Christ? Or something else? Something less? That is my question, and that is God's too. Hey, man, or woman, or girl or boy, what's your true reason. Just to tickle your ears, friend? If that is all you come for, why not skip this site. You're not needed here, really. Here is Covenant, sacrifice, the Cross, the Blood of Christ, Repentance, Forgiveness, Sanctification, Love that's real, a Life Wholly Committed to Christ and His mission: evangelizing, making disciples of all nations! Loving others as ourselves (not "like" ourselves, as is normally done). If that doesn't fit your template, then go to Facebook, or YouTube, or your silly friends' bragging, shemeless, tell-all blogs or the sleezy video hang-outs and chats where you can share all that ungodly garbage about yourselves and your friends who are just like you, showing each other pictures of your body as if you were a piece of meat at the butcher's. Oh, aren't you darling without your clothes! Aren't you cute showing off that body God meant you to protect and respect and for others to respect too! God didn't create you to be somebody else's sexual trampoline, that he or she can jump on and off from so they can get their jollies, before they dump you and go and find another more attractive trampoline further down the street. Aren't you really cool! Oh, no your're not! You were created in God's imagine, and no animal was ever created in God's image. No animal was ever the object of his love and fellowship, but you were! The schools told you a lie: you are the last thing to an animal--but you can choose to act like one, to be sure. Instead, God created you for a holy servant life--not that porno stuff you think is so cool and interesting and what your "cool" friends are doing. Looking for self-esteem? Want to feel loved? Well, God who created the whole universe loves you infinitely more than the universe. Doesn't that impress you--at least a little? Christ died for you--he really did die for you! Who else died for you, or would die for you? What good would it do? You'd still be stuck in your sins, in your evil life, in your self-centered self. But just look at the Alternative, just look at those scar marks on his body--he didn't get those by being on Facebook and telling everybody about his coming to earth to die for us--he went to a real cross and suffered a real crucifixion--which is the cruellest, most bloody, most sickening and revolting and painful way to die ever devised by sinner man. Still needing self-esteem, outside Christ and what he did for you because he loved you so he spared nothing of himself? I hope you really get a boost of your poor little suffering self-esteem--right where you desperately need it, right square on your backside like a donkey's kick! Christ is everything you need--but he isn't your patsy, he is Lord of lords and King of kings. He isn't going to be your ice cream cone or your double mocha late. All this to say, we need to get real with ourselves, but most of all we need to get real with God. Here's how. Read on:

The following article is about cholera in Haiti. What it does to actual human beings, many of them little children. It is nothing but real. But, you spoiled and pampered and self-centered, ungrateful American Christian, do you know what "real" is? This article will show you and me. Decide if you measure up or not to "real". If not, you can repent and get right with God, and be made real by Jesus Christ our Real Savior. He came to save us from ourselves. I thank God for that! Why not surrender and plead, "Jesus, please make me real like you?" He will answer that prayer if sincere. After all, he died on a real cross for you and me too!

"Haiti Journal," by Stacey Brown

I just heard a trendy evangelist preach this pooh-gospel of his on TV: "God put us on this earth to rule!" He is totally wrong! Jesus said He came not to rule and be served but to serve. How about that? Is that hard to understand? We are servants, not rulers. Muslims talk the way the Christian evangelist talks, do they not? Muslims exist to rule over others. That is the Wahibist teaching you would hear in ten thousand mosques if you ever got time and permission to visit them. Christians exist to serve Muslims, however, not as Muslim slaves but as slaves to Christ. It is a big difference. We are not to lord it over others like the Gentiles do, Jesus said, but we are here to serve others in His name for the Gospel's sake. We love God and we serve others. Serving others, we show we truly love God, and that the love of God is in us [conversely, those who exist to rule and lord it over others, they are not God's children).

If you don't know, or are confused, what is a Christian, or how to become a true Christian, Franklin Graham, President of the Billy Graham Association, has this to say to you, friend:

"What is a Christian?" by Franklin Graham

CONNECTION OF NYC CORDOBA MOSQUE PROJECT ON GROUND ZERO SITE TO CORDOBA MOSQUE IN SPAIN:

After the Muslim Moors invaded the Christian Iberian peninsula (Spain and Portugal) during the 8th century and occupied a great part of present-day Spain, they built mosques after demolishing the Christian churches. This one in Cordova (Cordoba), Spain, is known as "The Mosque." It is but a partial view of the huge and impressive structure. In its day, it was the second largest mosque in the world. The Muslim Moors were finally driven out of Spain in 1492, the same year Ferdinand and Isabella drove the Jews out of the country (hardly Christians in the Biblical sense), and Columbus discovered America.

It is clear that Imam Feisal knows his Islamic and Spanish history, and aims to revive the lost Cordoba Mosque right smack in the heart of the world's chief city of trade and influence: New York City. What a showcase it will be, a tremendous message to the whole world that Cordoba's "The Mosque" is avenged and the Christians defeated. Clearly, Imam Feisal the Weasel knows to exploit the situation, by using the Ground Zero site as the backdrop for retaking Islam's claimed territory, right in the heart of the "Great Satan" America's greatest city!

MAKE NO MISTAKE ABOUT THE MOSQUE-JEHADIST TRAINING CENTER AT GROUND ZERO: SOONER OR LATER IT WILL HANG DEAD, STINKING, AND HEAVY LIKE AN ALBATROSS AROUND THE NECK OF BARACK HUSSAIN OBAMA, WANNABE EMPEROR OF AMER-CANA-MEX (THE NORTH AMERICAN CONTINENTAL SUPERSTATE HE AIMS TO LEAD INTO PERDITION!) [He already has quite a number of albatrosses, SO to add one more will not make much difference to him, however!] Dr. Michael Youssef, Founder of Leading the Way ministies, had this blogspot article on a burning issue, the proposed mosque at Ground Zero. And make no mistake, one block from the official site is still Ground Zero, the Saudi Arabian jehadists' target on 9/11! The building that is the site of the proposed mosque, a site that formerly had a church, had jet wheels crash through the roof and several floors, and the whole location was strewn with body parts; to quibble as liberals do is nonsense whether the mosque is built on or near Ground Zero--it is all Ground Zero for blocks around the Twin Towers!

"America's Wake-Up Call," by Dr. Michael Youssef

Pastor/Author Pastor Pett's Message about the Ground Zero Mosque (which, contrary to the falsifying remarks of the Liberal Media, IS on Ground Zero's site, since plane wheels and part of the fusilage plunged through several stories of the building that is still there, and the whole area, a policeman reported, which I heard him say on the radio, was strewn with body parts, debris and dust!):

"Zapping the Mosque on Ground Zero," by Pastor/Author David Pett

Hey, want to do some real damage to Satan's kingdom in Islam, among the 1.3 billion Moslems world-wide. Get a Bible in Arabic to them! For only a Starbucks coffee or McDonalds moche frappe de luxe, $4:

This is taken from Stuart Maxwell Hawkins's book, and it recalls to mind a story I heard recently. A chess master was shown a painting by someone. But the chess master kept looking and looking at it, from various angles, until he finally said, "I am a professional at chess. Either the painter is a liar, calling this painting, 'Checkmate,' or he will have to change the name." He kept saying this as he examined the famous painting. Finally he said why: "The king still has one move," he said.

Isn't that tremendous? It may look like the game is up, we are finished, the Devil has defeated us, the wicked old world has us tied and trussed like chickens in the slaughterhouse, but no! It isn't over yet! Our King Jesus still has one more move!

There is only one way of salvation, which is considered the most hateful thing to say in this secularized world. But that is the absolute truth, in a world that denies absolute truth! Look for the coming excerpt on this:

"Who Am I?" by Dietrich Bonhoeffer

HERE IS ANOTHER BRAVE MAN WHO WENT WHERE ANGELS FEAR TO TREAD, TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE AS A CHRISTIAN: Ever heard of the "Machine Gun Preacher," Sam Childers? You should check him out, if you want to know about a former hell-raising biker who was saved sovereignly from his life of crime and violence and now isn't ashamed of soldiering for Jesus Christ his Savior, but who takes up the machinegun to defend helpless orphans in East Africa against the savage, merciless militias that prey upon them to make them child soldiers who will kill for them. He saw the need for someone on the ground to do this work, and he and his buddies are doing it! Orphanages are established to care for the children, who otherwise would be either killed or trained as killers. Care to get involved for the sake of the children, at least with your support, financial, and through prayers?

THE EMMAUS WALK MISSION STATEMENT:

Jesus Christ first, and all the rest, starting with myself the Mighty and Proudly Self-Sufficient King, will fall into line.

Please return for the updated version, the rewrite of the Apostle's Creed according to how the truths of the Confession are really believed and followed by most evangelical churches and Christians today. It ought to be mind-blowing, to say the least!--Ed.

What does the Apostles Creed boil down to? Simply this:

Cross out one "o" in "good" and you have GOD happening to you, the Source of all good!
