Reformed Thoughts and Gary’s Desk

Coach Dave Daubenmire, I like his style, and boy has he ever hit the nail on the head. The pulpit of the church is not for WIMPS. Pastors must tell the truth no matter what the consequences may be. Sin is sin, period, no matter who is committing it. We can not soft sell the gospel of Jesus Christ. Christ didn’t. Read Matthew 23:27 and Matthew 10:34. Christ wasn’t some hippie preaching man centered love all the time. He was a real man, our example of boldness and courage. We have the truth and the Holy Spirit of God, why would we ever fear the counterfeit power of man?

Please, after you have read this article by Coach Dave read the one that inspired this article, “Sheep Without Shepherds.” http://www.newswithviews.com/Daubenmire/dave115.htm. Brother preachers we must be willing to accept the blame for the debauchery our country is in, repent, and then stand in the pulpit and the streets and call our beloved congregations to bring EVERY area of their lives into submission to Almighty God. Then and only then can we expect God to do mighty things in America.

I agree with Charles Finney: “If there is a decay of conscience, the pulpit is responsible for it. If the public press lacks moral discernment, the pulpit is responsible for it. If the church is degenerate and worldly, the pulpit is responsible for it. If the world loses its interest in Christianity, the pulpit is responsible for it. If Satan rules in our halls of legislation, the pulpit is responsible for it. If our politics become so corrupt that the very foundations of our government are ready to fall away, the pulpit is responsible for it.” Read on.

This video is a bit shaky at first, but well worth watching. We need to get out of the Middle East and surely not commit to any aggressive action against Iraq, as Senator John McCain suggests. Go to the website below and scroll down to new video, It’s Time We Came Home.

My friends it has been several months since I have posted anything on my blog, but this one just has to be read by more people. Mr. Smith clearly explains the necessity of the private ownership of firearms if the American citizenry is to have a fighting chance against the ever encroaching tyranny of our civil rulers.

Setting an “LEO” Straight

by L. Neil Smith
lneil@netzero.com

For Jews for the Preservation of Firearms Ownership http://www.jpfo.org
Dear Sir:
I am in receipt of your May 17 letter to Jews for the Preservation of Firearms Ownership, in response to my column about the National Rifle Association and its collusion with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives. (See “With Friends Like The NRA …” http://www.jpfo.org/smith/smith-friends-like-nra.htm ). I thank you for taking the time and going to the effort of expressing your concerns, but I’m afraid you have some misconceptions about the nature of individual rights in general and the individual right to own and carry weapons in particular.

You begin by complaining that the article in question is “too radical even for me”. “Radical” comes from the Greek, from their word for “root” (”radish” is a related word). In English, it means getting to the root of whatever you’re talking about, to the fundamentals, the basics, which is, indeed, what I try to do with all my writing.

I’m sure you meant that what I said is too extreme, a word that depends on context: extreme compared to what? In this case it seems that it’s extreme compared, not to what the Second Amendment actually provides, but what you’d rather believe it does. A firm believer in the strict interpretation of the Second Amendment would not go on to say the other things you do about the rights it was written to preserve. But perhaps I can help.

“I don’t feel the need,” you inform us, “for law-abiding and honest citizens to own and carry fully automatic weapons, especially those capable of concealment, along with sawed-off shotguns.” Pardon me if I point out that it couldn’t possibly be less important what you do or don’t “feel the need” for. I don’t care what you “feel”, nor would James Madison who wrote the Bill of Rights, nor would Thomas Jefferson whom it was written to satisfy.

Clearly, you fail to understand why the Second Amendment was written. While it’s become popular to say it has nothing to do with duck hunting — and that’s true as far as it goes — very few people understand that it has nothing to do with defending yourself from muggers, burglars, or rapists, either, although that’s a surely welcome side-benefit.

The Second Amendment was written specifically to ensure that the people would always possess the physical means to intimidate the government, to keep it in line, or, failing that, to overthrow it at need and, as Jefferson wrote in the Declaration of Independence, “provide new guards for their future security”.

In its time, the Pennsylvania (or Kentucky) rifle represented the leading edge of technology, and those who possessed it could shoot three times as far, with much greater accuracy, than those stuck with, say, the British Army’s “Brown Bess” smoothbore musket. Jefferson, an inventor and a technophile himself, would recognize the need today for the average citizen to be equipped with weapons that are the equal of, or superior to, whatever the government supplies its troops with.

Now if that doesn’t include “automatic weapons, especially those capable of concealment, along with sawed-off shotguns,” I don’t know what it does include. You can’t make the government behave itself with bolt action rifles, pump shotguns, and revolvers. You also say, “We don’t need to have explosives and other weapons of war readily available to anyone that wants them or the U.S. would be like the countries in the middle east we are attempting to defend.”

Yet “weapons of war” (a term often used as propaganda by the likes of Sarah Brady and Dianne Feinstein) are precisely why the Second Amendment was written, and, once again, what you feel “we” do or don’t need is completely unimportant. You have no legitimate say in the matter. The police are the standing army that the Founding Fathers worried about, and, as such, they’re the very people the Second Amendment was ratified to protect us from.

If 200 years of American history have anything to teach us, it’s that so-called “public servants” are neither. Their loyalty is not to the public, but to the politically powerful. All too soon they come to see themselves as the public’s masters, not servants. Maybe that’s part of their strange transformation over the years from keepers of the peace into “law enforcement officers”. We’ve gotten to a point where they’ll enforce any damn law — no matter how evil or idiotic it is — without regard to whether it serves the public and the peace or damages them.

To quote you further, “I guess what I am trying to say is the United States is a country of laws to safeguard the population from the criminal element of our society.” Wrong again: how can this be a country of laws if the Bill of Rights — especially the Second Amendment — can be ignored or reinterpreted into meaninglessness by the government?

That’s how the Canadian “Charter of Rights and Freedoms” works. Nothing in it is absolute, it fails to protect the right to property in any way, and it can be suspended whenever the government feels like it.

Are we Canadians?

The “criminal element of our society” we should worry about are elected and appointed officials who’ve decided that either the Founding Fathers didn’t really mean what they said, that it somehow doesn’t apply today (interestingly, even the Left hasn’t made that claim much over the past seven years of the Bush Administration), or that we’re all too stupid to read some kind of secret code they wrote into the law, empowering tyrants to take our rights away whenever they “feel the need”.

“I can only imagine if all the current gun laws were abolished how the crime rate would [soar].” Given the incontrovertible fact that the better armed people are, the less crime there is, a soaring crime rate would indeed be totally imaginary. Liberals whimper about just such an imaginary soaring crime rate whenever it gets easier for individuals to own and carry weapons. I suggest that you read More Guns, Less Crime by Professor John Lott if you have any doubts on the subject.

I have to add that your phrase “legally purchased firearm” is offensive to anyone who believes that begging the government for permission to own a gun, or informing it that you have one, defeats the purpose of the Second Amendment. Any individual should be free to walk into any store, gun show, or yard sale and buy a gun for cash, without signing a paper or even giving anyone their name. That’s what the Founders intended; that’s how it was most places until 1968; that’s what we must strive for. To paraphrase the great Alphonso Bedoya, in Treasure of the Sierra Madre, “We don’ need no stinkin’ legalized!”

Not too much later on, you assert that, ” … if you get rid of the [BATFE] their duties and personnel would be absorbed by other Federal agencies. Getting rid of a name does not help anyone. Federal law enforcement agencies have their place … ”

On the contrary, we seek not only to abolish the BATFE, but all of its functions, as well, since not one is legal under the Constitution. Alcohol and tobacco (however much some people may disapprove of their use) are subject to religiously-based punitive “sin taxes” that are completely out of place in a nation with a First Amendment in its Constitution. They violate the letter and spirit of the Fourteenth Amendment, as well, since it guarantees equal protection under the law — protection that smokers, drinkers, and gun people never actually receive.

Furthermore, there’s no Constitutional justification for the existence of any of the agencies you think might pick up BATFE’s workload. (See Article 1, Section 8, a short, extremely explicit list of powers permissable to the government — a list that does not include creating anything even remotely like the EPA, OSHA, FBI, NSA, DHS, or CIA.) If you wish to live in a “country of laws” it must be a country of all the laws, especially highest law of the land, the Bill of Rights.

You begin again, “I believe that all law-abiding citizens should be allowed to carry a firearm and — ”

Please get this through your head once and for all: regarding the individual right to own and carry weapons, there is no “allowed”. Government has nothing to say about it. This basic human right predates the Second Amendment (which only offers to protect it). It predates the Constitution. It predates the United States. It predates the British and the Roman empires. It predates civilization itself.

Undaunted by the laws you profess to respect, you trudge onward: “Concealed weapons permits should be good throughout the United States, however, I do believe there should be some type of proficiency qualification requirement … every 3 to 5 years if not annually.” Apparently I missed the part of the Second Amendment that says, “the right of the people who have permits and pass some type of proficiency qualification to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.”

“I understand JPFO’s positions on firearms given the history of the Jewish people and what has happened to them … This will never happen in this country unless the government is willing to kill those of us that will fight to the death before giving up our guns and for this reason, I do not feel they will try.”

Maybe this is a little harsh, but exactly whose fantasy world are you living in? This is the age of Waco, of Ruby Ridge, of the Texas FLDS child kidnappings. It’s an age in which a United States Senator, Thomas Dodd, can get the Library of Congress to translate Nazi gun laws — written to satisfy Hitler the way the Bill of Rights was written to satisfy Jeffersom — so he could turn them into the Gun Control Act of 1968.

It’s the age of secret detention centers — concentration camps — the seizure of private weapons as part of “helping” disaster victims, and the imposition of a North American Union that would circumvent and destroy the Bill of Rights, erase the borders between this country and Mexico and Canada, and force Americans to use “Ameros” for money instead of dollars.

See: http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=52684

The government now snatches people off the street and out of their homes, ships them without due process to Guantanamo Bay and other places for unlimited periods of time, and tortures them. Your bland assurances that “it can’t happen here” ring a bit hollow, since it is happening here, right now. Only this time, everybody gets to be a Jew.

You say: “We must continue the watchdog approach on all new legislation and be very vocal on bills that attempt to further constrict our ‘Right to Keep and Bear Arms’ along with any legislation that constricts other Constitutional rights,” you tell us. “Our best hope is return conservatives to the House, Senate, and Presidency.”

You go on at considerable length about “conservative principles” and a need to elect and appoint conservatives anywhere and everywhere. You seem to have missed the fact that it’s your precious conservatives and their so-called “principles” that have brought us to the end of the American dream of peace, freedom, prosperity, and progress. It’s interesting to me that novelist/philosopher Ayn Rand predicted developments like these over forty years ago.

See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ayn_Rand.

It’s your precious conservatives who wage unconstitutional wars, lock up individuals who are supposed to be presumed innocent until they’re proven guilty, deprive them of legal representation, and treat them in ways it’s illegal to treat animals.

It’s your precious conservatives who rammed the fascistic Patriot Act through Congress, who conduct illegal, warrantless wiretaps, who continue the medieval practice of Eminent Domain, and champion the mass invasion of privacy at airports.

It’s your precious conservatives’ irrational insistence on gun control — victim disarmament — at any cost that prevents passengers from shooting hijackers before they can crash planes into buildings. Your precious conservatives would rather shoot down a hijacked plane loaded with innocent people, than let those people exercise their basic human right to self-defense.

In short, it’s your precious conservatives — right wing socialists who have turned out to be no better than the left wing socialists who call themselves liberals — who are leading the government’s campaign to destroy the Bill of Rights.

When German “law enforcement officers” did this to their own people they protested that they were “only following orders” — but we hanged them anyway, at Nuremberg. In my experience most cops’ highest loyalty is to their pensions, rather than the people they claim to serve, an attitude that makes all kinds of oppression — including genocide — possible. See JPFO’s gun control/genocide chart at http://www.jpfo.org/filegen-a-m/deathgc.htm#dgc

I urge you to read Melissa Marsh’s review of Ordinary Men: Reserve Police Battalion 101 and the Final Solution in Poland by Christopher R. Browning, then obtain and read the book itself: . “If the men of Reserve Police Battalion 101 could become killers under such circumstances, what group of men cannot?” says Browning, trying to understand and explain why people can be led to do anything, no matter how depraved. “Human responsibility is ultimately an individual matter.”

I am speaking to you, now, of your individual responsibility. I truly wonder what Second Amendment — and what Constitution — you believe in. It certainly isn’t the one that I know and love, that the colonists and veterans after them fought and bled and died for. It’s time to look straight into the ugly face of history and acquaint yourself unflinchingly with the truth.

A cop should not cop out.

Sincerely,

L. Neil Smith

How long will the Christian community continue to be complicit in electing big sending, Constitutionally ignorant, One Worlders to lead this country? We are a pack of dupes, believing all the lies the media dishes out, believing our elected officials would never sell us out deliberately. WAKE UP! It’s already happening and will only get worse if we don’t heed the warnings of men like Pastor Baldwin. If we continue to believe the lies that men, like Ron Paul, can not be elected, then we deserve to lose our liberty to freedom sucking leeches sold out to international governance. Ron Paul can win, but first Christians must get their heads out of their self righteous behinds,

WHY ARE RON PAUL’S SUPPORTERS SO ANGRY?

By Pastor Chuck Baldwin
January 29, 2008
NewsWithViews.com
When Glenn Beck interviewed Congressman Ron Paul a few weeks ago, he said that he had received death threats from people purporting to be Ron Paul supporters. I have heard other journalists make similar accusations against Congressman Paul’s supporters. Of course, I have no way of knowing whether any of this is true or not. And neither does anyone else.

My own experience has been that Congressman Paul’s supporters have always demonstrated grace, patience, and courtesy. I have met and worked alongside Ron Paul supporters in at least four states, and I have never personally witnessed any of the anger and bitterness of which they are accused.

Not that Ron Paul’s supporters do not have reason to be angry. They most certainly do. In fact, all of us should be angry.

Ron Paul’s supporters have been subjected to the most overt and outlandish brand of humiliation and censorship ever seen in modern politics. The cable news Republican Presidential debates have been jokes. For every one question (and usually a stupid, irrelevant question at that) asked of Dr. Paul, the other participants will get three or four. Maybe more. Even though Ron Paul has received more money, more votes, and more delegates than Rudy Giuliani, the press continues to ignore Mr. Paul while showering Giuliani with coverage.

In addition, Ron Paul’s own party continues to treat him and his supporters as second-class citizens–or perhaps even as aliens from a different planet. They are subjected to insults of every type. Not to mention enduring every conceivable method to censure or remove Dr. Paul from the political process. He has been denied access to platforms, excluded from debates, removed from GOP Presidential lists, etc., ad infinitum, ad nauseam.

I say again: if anyone has a right to be angry, it is Ron Paul supporters. But perhaps the greater question is, Why are not all of us angry? No, I do not mean in a cruel or unkind way, but where is our outrage for what the ruling elite are doing to our country?

We should all be angry at the way politicians lie to us, deceive us, and manipulate us. We should all be angry at the way both major parties have completely ignored and trampled constitutional government.

Are we so gullible that we cannot see when a politician says one thing to one group of people and a totally opposite thing to another group of people? Are we so naïve that we cannot tell when a politician changes his beliefs simply in order to garner votes?

Come on folks, let’s get real: do you really expect John McCain to abandon his efforts to grant amnesty to illegal aliens? Do you really expect Mitt Romney to be a champion for the unborn? Do you really expect Mike Huckabee to suddenly be the champion for limited government spending? Do you really expect Rudy Giuliani to keep his pants zipped?

Have the American people become so numbed to truth and reality that we cannot distinguish the genuine from the phony–even when it stands right in front of us? Perhaps so. However, if the American people had any of the character and resolve of our forebears, we would be steaming mad about what our political and business leaders have done to our country.

Yes, we should be angry at the way our government has repeatedly lied to us about the economy, about sending our jobs and manufacturing industries overseas, about Iraq, and about EVERYTHING! Yes, dear friends, they lie to us about everything. It has gotten to the point that, frankly, I believe NOTHING the government tells us. They have proven themselves to be totally disingenuous and downright duplicitous. And, frankly, I’m angry about it.

In addition, I can even understand whatever anger and exasperation Ron Paul’s supporters feel regarding my fellow evangelical believers. Today’s Christians–and especially our pastors–have become little more than toadies for the establishment elite. They apparently have never read our U.S. Constitution, Declaration of Independence, or Bill of Rights. They are seemingly oblivious to our great American history and heritage. They seem to lack the most elementary understanding of even the most basic American principles.

For example, it makes absolutely no sense that Christian pastors would embrace the sudden pro-life candidacy of Mitt Romney and reject the proven, twenty-year pro-life record of Ron Paul. It makes no sense that evangelical Christians would embrace the pro-illegal amnesty, pro-McCain/Feingold, pro-No-Child-Left-Behind, pro-gun control John McCain and reject the proven, twenty-year no-amnesty, pro-freedom, anti-No-Child-Left-Behind, pro-Second Amendment record of Ron Paul. It makes absolutely no sense that Christians would fall for Mr. Big Government himself, Mike Huckabee, and reject the champion of limited government, Ron Paul.

Beyond that, how is it that pastors and evangelicals cannot see through the GOP’s complicity in helping to establish a Luciferian New World Order? How can they be so blind and dumb regarding the global machinations of the Council on Foreign Relations? How can they not understand and reject the philosophy emanating from the Trilateral Commission and Bilderburgers?

Ask the average pastor and Christian about the CFR, the Trilateralists, or the Bilderburgers and they just stare into space. They are absolutely clueless. Ask them about the burgeoning NAFTA superhighway, North American Union, or Amero and they look stupefied. Again, they are absolutely clueless. And, yes, I am angry about it. I am saddened and angered at the lack of knowledge, perception, and discernment demonstrated by my Christian brethren.

I believe with all my heart that if the pastors and Christian people of America would come off their high horse and start supporting the principles of liberty, the U.S. Constitution, and limited government, not only would there be a rebirth of freedom in America, there would be a spiritual revival as well.

As it is, freedom-loving people cannot see past the ignorance, elitism, and partisan phoniness of modern Christians in order that they might see Christ. The Scripture plainly says, “Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.” (II Corinthians 3:17)

When America’s Colonial preachers and Christian people fought for liberty and independence, God gave us two Great Awakenings. I believe another Great Revival would come to America, if our Christians and pastors would stand on their hind legs and once again fight for liberty and independence. And, yes, I am also angry that they will not do that either.

Deacon chairMan Kathy Madeia said in a statement. “Our members have diverse opinions about many things, but what we have in common is our love for God, the church and each oher” . Balderdash! This is the kind of antinomianism that is destroying the witness of the church to the unsaved. If we do not call sin, in this case homosexuality, sin why in the world does anyone need a Saviour. Why would anyone look to Christ who shed His blood so that those who are DEAD in their sin might call on His name and be saved. God so hates homosexuality that He calls for the death penalty on those who practice it in Leviticus 20:13. And in the New Testament church, according to Paul in Romans 1:27, it is still an abomination, ” And likewise also men, leaving the NATURAL use of the woman, burned in their LUST one toward another; men with men working that which is UNSEEMLY, and receiving in themselves that recompense of their error which was meet”.

This congregation neither loves the God of the Bible nor the church if they do not condemn the homosexual and call him to repent of his sin and embrace the only Savior the world has, the Lord Jesus Christ, who stated about the Law Of God in Matthew 5, that not one jot or title had passed away. Christ came to confirm it. Nor is this congregation showing love toward one another if they do not call their homosexual members to repent and turn to Jesus, for they will be condemning them to an eternity in hell. The least of their worries is whether they should include homosexual couples in their directory.

Gary

FORT WORTH, Texas (BP)–Members of Broadway Baptist Church in Fort Worth, Texas, voted Dec. 2 to delay a decision on whether to include homosexual members as couples in a church pictorial directory.
Baptist Press broke the story of the church contention on Nov. 6. The Fort Worth Star-Telegram said the church’s deacons would recommend a solution to the issue by Feb. 4.
“We do not want to rush to make a decision, but rather to continue to listen to each other and for God’s leading to our church,” deacon chairman Kathy Madeja said in a statement. “Our members have diverse opinions about many things, but what we have in common is our love for God, the church and each oher” …Please Read On

IMPERIAL RELIGION HATES JESUS

by Alan Stang
November 5, 2007
NewsWithViews.com

I was recently dismayed by the sudden realization that there could be pockets of population, however small, whom I have not yet managed to offend. Herewith I hasten to apologize for that discrepancy and to assuage my embarrassment, by explaining the madness that for a century and a half has been dismantling our civilization, camouflaging itself as true Christianity.

The “Abolitionist” movement that provoked Lincoln’s Communist War to Destroy the Union is a good place to start. At this distance it is easy to see that the “Abolitionists” extruded a species of madness, a fanatic mania personified by lunatics like John Brown, who fastened onto Negro slavery as a vehicle to express it.

Had there never been Negro slavery in our country, their madness would have fastened onto something else, and in fact it has, as we shall see. For a taste of what I am talking about, see Otto J. Scott, The Secret Six: John Brown and the Abolitionist Movement (New York, NYT Times Books, 1979), a brilliant exposition of the problem.

The messianic mania these monsters fomented eventually led to the destruction of the federal union the nation’s Founders had bequeathed them. It effectively centralized governmental power and has inspired one horror after another. Today it is close to finishing our system off completely. I said above that it camouflages itself as true Christianity. What is the difference? If it isn’t Christianity, what is it?

You can see an expression of the difference at Manassas. The Yankees literally rode out from Washington to picnic, with refreshments in baskets the ladies had prepared. It would be an afternoon’s entertainment. They would teach the Southerners a lesson and end the rebellious charade. They didn’t know that, at Manassas, Jackson – the Immortal – would stand like a stone wall. They didn’t know the Southerners would send them fleeing in disorder.

The Yankees call it a “Civil” War. Of course, it was not. Had it been a civil war – a war for control of the “general government” – Jackson would have and easily could have pursued the fleeing rabble back to town, seized it, restored the Union and thrown our first Communist President into jail, where he belonged. Our next President, Robert E. Lee, would have arranged his trial.

But they did not. Instead, Jackson, a true Christian, turned aside. A true Christian is modest; he believes in minding his own business, in live and let live. My speculation is that after Manassas the Southerners hoped and believed that the newly chastened Yankees would share their belief and leave them alone to enjoy their own lives in their own country. Later, after it was too late, when Lee – another Immortal – realized what he had been fighting, he said that, had he known, he would have fought to the last man.

So, what is the difference? It lies in the satanic belief that one can improve upon God, that man can do a better job than Jesus. Scripture tells us Jesus did it “all,” a little word with a big meaning. “All” means everything. It means there is nothing else beside it. You can walk all around all, but you will find nothing hanging out, no loose ends. If Jesus really did it “all,” as scripture says, no one can do any more. If the job requires nailing in the only six nails you have, and someone else has nailed them all in, nothing more can be done.

What did and does Jesus do? He saves. He saved us from our sin by becoming sin Himself. Nothing more need be done or can be done. He gives the blessing of eternal life to those the Father gave Him before the foundation of the world. It’s done before you ever show up. You don’t need to accept. You don’t need to decide. Jesus says He won’t lose even one He has been given. What could you decide? If Jesus says you’re His, you are His. Could you overrule Him? Remember, God is doing all this – created you, me and the universe – for His own pleasure. It’s not about us; it’s about God and His glory.

Yes, you can ruin your life completely in the world. You can never go to church. You can be stupid. You can ruin your health. You can even become a nasty drunk and beat your kids. You probably won’t though, because if God chose you before the foundation of the world, by your fruit will we know you.

Speaking for myself, I was much too stupid to arrange my own salvation, much too stupid to “accept” or “decide.” The thought that I could have done it on my own is preposterous and, frankly, scares the Hell out of me. Had the Lord not done it for me, I would still be doing things “My Way,” still dead in stupidity, and God would not have brought me the Love Priestess. Where do I get all this? I read it in the Book.

But some folks don’t like it. Before he was caught with the wrong sporting woman (not a man, thank God), one celebrity preacher used to call it a “hellish doctrine,” fearing that somebody who loves the Lord may not be chosen, which would be unjust. But remember that without Jesus, you are dead in sin. You can’t choose Him; He chooses you. The fact that you love the Lord proves He put that love there, proves you are one of His. If you want it, you already have it. Look at the ravening atheists presently trying to destroy Christianity. They boast they want no part of it and the Lord takes them at their word. There is no “injustice.”

If you believe this, you know that God gave us the Gospel not to “save souls,” but rather to guide and comfort the children He has chosen, the children He has already saved, and that He chooses preachers to pass the word along. They can save no one. Yes, that means someone who has never cracked the Bible and has never heard of Jesus Christ could still be one of His, if that is His pleasure.

But a celebrity preacher with a national television show once told me proudly, “I save 30,000 souls a month!” Man, that’s a thousand souls a day! If a mere man can save that many souls a day, do we really need Jesus? Needless to say, a man who can save that many souls in just one day is a celebrity, whose name could adorn a ministry, even a meeting hall. On the contrary, a preacher who knows he saves no one, and that the Lord simply called him from the congregation to spread His word is not.

From the ranks of such celebrity preachers – who, however much they pretend otherwise, believe Jesus did not do it all – come men like the “Abolitionists,” with a mission to “improve” upon God. They “improve” upon God in eternity, and they “improve” upon God here, in the Kingdom God gave us while we still inhabit these corruptible, unresurrected bodies.

So it is that the maniacal “Abolitionist” spirit, having washed its hands like Pilate of happily departed Negro slavery, at the cost of more casualties than in any other of our wars, now plunges into every corner of your private life; indeed, into every corner of the world, however remote, to “improve” it. This in part is the origin of the liberaloid frenzy that is presently pulling the nation apart. It is an attempt to “improve” upon God, motivated by the same rebellion that inspires Satan.

And since today’s “Abolitionists” are motivated by Satan and are not God – many have tried, like Tiberius, to be God, but only God can handle it – their “improvements” of the Kingdom turn out to be satanic horrors. Look at their fruit. They have killed many more babies than all our casualties in all our wars. By killing all these babies, they are “improving” the lot of women.

They are incapable of minding their own business. Everywhere you look, they are minding yours or someone else’s. They invade other nations for their own good to impose a form of government the natives don’t want, however many of our own men they kill and maim in the process. They utterly pervert the Christianity in which they claim to believe. They want to know everything you do and control it.

They are as fanatical as the jihadists they oppose. They illegally insert women into combat. They already are desperately short of experienced military personnel. When they hit Iran, they will certainly resurrect the military draft, including women, which will be the next installment in their campaign to destroy the family and collapse our civilization on the way to world government, their version of the Kingdom.

It is an intriguing historical fact that many of the new-fangled denominations founded to “improve” the original Bible message were started for that purpose around the middle of the Nineteenth Century, which also saw the beginning of the Communist horror that also claims to do a better job in the Kingdom than God. The Federal, National and World Councils of Churches were also in bed with the Reds.

Remember that God used to rule directly, through His judges. The children rebelled and offended Him, demanding an earthly King, so they could be like everyone else. God warned them what earthly government would do, but they insisted, so God graciously stepped aside and gave them Saul. Government was their punishment for rebelling against God. And Guess what? It all worked out as God had said. Amazing! How could God know?

Liberaloids in the church are still in rebellion. Their names adorn their ministries where they compete to “save souls,” and they love big government, the bigger the better, because government is the weapon they employ to “improve” the Kingdom, to “improve” upon God. That is why they applaud as government graduates illiterate drug zombies from the nation’s Communist schools and destroys our privacy. They worship el presidente Jorge W. Boosh, because Jorge – they think – is the king God appointed.

Completely ignoring scripture from beginning to end, they teach that Romans 13 says we must obey government no matter what it does; no matter how much government itself disobeys the mandate assigned it by God, no matter what He did to Jezebel. In Nazi Germany, they even wore black Nazi uniforms and heiled Hitler at big church meetings. Today they say in effect that God is a Nazi, or that He is maybe George Bush.

“All” is not lost. More and more Christian parents are joining an Exodus from the Communist government schools. I suggest that celebrity Christian leaders either find other work or return to the church, start worshipping Jesus and defend our inalienable right to mind our own business.

I stated in my sermon this Sunday, 10/14/07, that “we can expect a further inflating of our currency and the destruction of our economy as long as we continue to rely on the fallacious ideas of pagan men…. And why will all this continue, because we have unplugged our source of power, the Creator and Sustainer of ALL things, Almighty God, Yaweh, The Great I Am…. There is only one thing that can turn the tide to this looming doom. America will collapse if we do not recognize Jesus Christ as the King of kings and Lord of lords in EVERY sphere of our lives. We must do whatever we do to the glory of God. and it must start with us as individuals. How can we possibly expect our country to be once again invigorated by the power of the Holy Spirit when we have collectively turned our backs on God? Even the church has been complicit in this with its antinomian presuppositions and its constant voting for the lesser of two evils.” The entire sermon can be found at http://reformedheritage.org. The following article confirms my remarks and basically suggests that our legislators are criminals. I most wholeheartedly concur.

Few Americans understand the Faustian dilemma awaiting their children with the federal deficit now at $8.7 trillion. Mr. Bush raised the federal debt level to nearly $10 trillion. On an individual level, if you earned $50,000.00 a year, but ran up your credit card debt to $500,000.00 a year, how would you pay for your financial liability? Answer: you couldn’t. Bankruptcy becomes your only option. However, what happens when an entire country bankrupts?

The dollar’s value falls world wide. Our annual trade deficit exceeds $700 billion. Our manufacturing base vanishes with millions of U.S. jobs outsourcing overseas. Our government must borrow $2 billion daily to keep our economy afloat. Unbeknownst to most Americans, their tax dollars pay in excess of $400 million daily to pay the interest on the federal debt.

Governor Lamm said, “I have participated in the greatest embezzlement in all of history. In my seventy plus years, I have never seen such a perfect crime.

“Like most other master criminals, I am heady with success and feel a need to brag. I kid you not - never before has one group appropriated as much money that belonged to another group in the history of crime.

“The victims, while they are increasingly suspicious, still do not know they have been had. It was literally and figuratively as easy as taking candy out of the mouths of babies. Please read on

Take heed Brethren here in America.

Islam expert: Europe well on the way to ‘Islamization’

Chad Groening OneNewsNow.comSeptember 17, 2007
A best-selling author and leading expert on Islam says that religion is well on its way to taking control of Europe — and he’s afraid that widespread violence may break out as a result.

In his new book, Religion of Peace? Why Christianity Is and Islam Isn’t, Robert Spencer, who is director of Jihad Watch, says that the war on terror is in fact a struggle against an Islamic jihad that would conquer and subjugate Western non-Muslims. He also asserts that Islam is well on its way to taking over Europe because the population has been silent for too long.

“It looks as if the problem as advanced far beyond the point of any kind of peaceful or easy resolution,” he explains. “Europe is either going to acquiesce in its Islamization and in the imposition of Islamic Sharia law, or its going to degenerate into large-scale conflict between non-Muslims who do not want to be quietly Islamized and the Muslim communities in Europe.”

Spencer says the longer Islam is allowed to expand in Europe, the more difficult it will be for non-Muslims to prevent

Several years ago I was considered a kook for even suggesting such an idea. Today it is a reality.

Implantable Microchips: NOT a Conspiracy Theory Anymore
It’s getting more difficult these days to sustain the preterist view of eschatology (preterism contends that the virtually all of the “last days” events took place no later than A.D. 70) when companies are pushing to place implantable microchips within the actual bodies of people. End-time prophecy teachers have long stated that microchipping may be the fulfillment of Revelation 13:16-17:
And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that no man may buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
My intent is not to wrestle with the eschatological debate, but to highlight AGAIN the growing draconian measures being pushed on all of us. Years ago, skeptics dismissed people as “wacko conspiracy theorists” for warning about the coming implantable microchip. They also warned about a National ID card, which will become a reality in May of 2008.

In 2005, the FDA approved implanting microchips in humans. To date, some 2,000 people around the world have RFID chips implanted in their skin. The company VeriChip Corp. has a goal of implanting 45 million Americans with medical monitoring chips. A person’s entire medical history can be stored on the chip.

Critics claim that the next step–after National ID cards–is to to microchip the entire population with all their personal information such as banking info, driver’s info, medical info, etc. You’ve probably seen the Visa credit card commercials when a person stops the flow of business by using cash or writing a check. Everyone else just glides their credit card across the scanner and they’re done. It’s easy to see after cash and cards, a single implanted chip is the ultimate technological solution. Visa’s tagline is “Life takes faster money. Life takes Visa.”

VeriChip had enlisted Tommy Thompson to its board in hopes of promoting the program. Thompson was going to run for president in 2008, but has since dropped out. Listen to this monster argue with a smile for the microchip–this is staggering:

Do you honestly believe that VeriChip is going to limit this technology to medical and child safety? Isn’t financial support next? Listen to Ron Paul and a few “other” experts talk about this development: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kOMhNb6jtrg

HOW IS THIS FREEDOM??? HOW CAN WE PERMIT OUR POLITICIANS TO CONTINUE TO LIE TO US IN SAYING THAT THE WAR ON TERROR IS A WAR FOR FREEDOM? OUR FREEDOMS ARE VANISHING QUICKLY AND THE RELIGIOUS RIGHT STILL SAYS NOTHING!! EVEN SOME OF OUR OWN COLLEAGUES ARE ABSOLUTELY SILENT ON THESE ISSUES. THEY’RE ARGUING OVER FEDERAL VISION NONSENSE, POSTMODERNISM, CULTURAL RELEVANCE, THE RELIGIOUS INTENT OF THE FOUNDING FATHERS, AND RALLYING SUPPORT FOR UNJUST WAR!

There, I said it.
