How Can We Really Know the Truth of What Is Going on Today?

In this day when you can no longer trust news media to be actual news, when big money and big agendas can rewrite science and history, how can you really know the truth? There really is a way. There is The Way, and He is the Truth and the Life! Jesus Christ!

Jesus said to him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me." - John 14:6

When we make Jesus our Lord and Savior, and follow Him, and look to His Word for guidance, we can also know truth! Jesus Christ IS The Word!

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made. In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. - John 1:1-4

He is the Word and He is the Truth, and we can only have life through that Word. God really wants us to know the way, to know truth, and to have life! He sent Jesus to us, but He has also given us His Written Word, as well, and He sends us His Holy Spirit, the Spirit of Truth, when we accept Jesus as our Lord and Savior.

But when the Helper comes, whom I shall send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth who proceeds from the Father, He will testify of Me. - John 15:26

However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come. - John 16:13

And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever - the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you. - John 14:16-17

Note in the last example above, that not everyone can receive the Truth. Those without Jesus as their Lord and Savior cannot have or know Truth.

We are of God. He who knows God hears us; he who is not of God does not hear us. By this we know the spirit of truth and the spirit of error. - 1 John 4:6

We can discern truth from error when we are of God. We can only be truly of God when we accept Jesus's sacrifice for our sins, as that is the ONLY WAY to God. We are sinful creatures, filthy rags, and cannot come before the Almighty God of the universe, except by the Way He made for us, covered by the blood of the perfect sacrifice. There is no other way. There is NO OTHER path to God!

Jesus said to him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me." - John 14:6

God gives us the Spirit of Truth, and He gives us wisdom through His Word. Wisdom ONLY comes from God!

For the LORD gives wisdom; from His mouth come knowledge and understanding. - Proverbs 2:6

There is no wisdom or understanding or counsel against the LORD. - Proverbs 21:30

The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom, and the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding. - Proverbs 9:10

But of Him you are in Christ Jesus, who became for us wisdom from God—and righteousness and sanctification and redemption—
- 1 Corinthians 1:30

Those without God, meaning also those without Jesus, as that is the only way to God, cannot have wisdom.

For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, "He catches the wise in their own craftiness." - 1 Corinthians 3:19

Because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened. Professing to be wise, they became fools. - Romans 1:21-22

There is a good reason why we often cannot reason with those without Jesus Christ. It seems they just can't see what seems to us "common sense". It's because God has given us that wisdom, and those without God can't hear it. It used to drive me crazy because I was unable to understand why otherwise intelligent people seem to have no common sense! In a way, it does add comfort to understand why there seems to be such a wide gap between the world views today. On one hand, we have the biblical Christian world view and on the other, the world's view. The latter are led by the god of this world.

They are of the world. Therefore they speak as of the world, and the world hears them. We are of God. He who knows God hears us; he who is not of God does not hear us. By this we know the spirit of truth and the spirit of error. - 1 John 4:5-6

I will no longer talk much with you, for the ruler of this world is coming, and he has nothing in Me. = John 14:30

In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them. - 2 Corinthians 4:4

You are of your father the devil, and the desires of your father you want to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own resources, for he is a liar and the father of it. - John 8:44

In which you once walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit who now works in the sons of disobedience, - Ephesians 2:2

We either follow the God of the Bible or the god of the world, Satan. One thing that we must always remember is that we cannot follow two gods; it is not possible!

No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon. - Matthew 6:24

No servant can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon. - Luke 16:13

Many people are unknowingly following Satan because they believe that they can do good and believe in God, but still take into consideration the changing times and culture. They may say that they themselves believe in Jesus and are Christians, but then say that there are many ways to God. They actually think that they can be Christians, but disregard what God's Word said about life, sexual morality, and homosexuality. Jesus said you cannot do it! You are going to be loyal to one or the other, and if you find yourself looking to the world and its customs and culture for your world view, then you are choosing to serve the god of this world, Satan.

Most people following the world's view would get highly offended at the suggestion they were following Satan. But we've read the scriptures showing it is true! God says you can only follow one and there is only one way to Him. Additionally, the god of this world is a liar who is active every day in trying to blind the eyes of the world away from Jesus Christ! Satan may appear as an angel of light, but remember that he is out to destroy.

Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. - 1 Peter 5:8

The devil can appear as an angel and he knows scripture quite well. That is one of his best weapons; he can twist scripture out of context and trick people into following him, people who think they are actually doing good and following God. Since the Garden of Eden, Satan has been twisting God's words to deceive us:

Now the serpent was more cunning than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said to the woman, "Has God indeed said, 'You shall not eat of every tree of the garden'?" - Genesis 3:1

Then the serpent said to the woman, "You will not surely die. For God knows that in the day you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil." - Genesis 3:4-5

Note the devil's technique above. It is exactly the same today. First he gets you to question God's word. Is that really what God meant? Then he strokes your ego by telling you things you like to hear. You won't die! You can be as God! Is that not what New Age religion and liberal denominations tell us today? God's laws are constantly questioned or taken out of context. Universalists say all will go to heaven. The religion of Oprah says we are our own gods! Satan's techniques haven't changed a bit, and people still fall for the lies.

Jesus gave us a perfect example of how to fight Satan's deceits:

Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. And when He had fasted forty days and forty nights, afterward He was hungry. Now when the tempter came to Him, he said, "If You are the Son of God, command that these stones become bread." But He answered and said, "It is written, 'Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.'" Then the devil took Him up into the holy city, set Him on the pinnacle of the temple, and said to Him, "If You are the Son of God, throw Yourself down. For it is written: 'He shall give His angels charge over you,' and, 'In their hands they shall bear you up, Lest you dash your foot against a stone.'" Jesus said to him, "It is written again, 'You shall not tempt the LORD your God.'" Again, the devil took Him up on an exceedingly high mountain, and showed Him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory. And he said to Him, "All these things I will give You if You will fall down and worship me." Then Jesus said to him, "Away with you, Satan! For it is written, 'You shall worship the LORD your God, and Him only you shall serve.'" Then the devil left Him, and behold, angels came and ministered to Him. - Matthew 4:1-11

Jesus used the Word of God against the devil. Satan himself tried to use God's Word to trick Jesus, but it was taken out of context, and because Jesus knew God's Word thoroughly, He was able to completely refute Satan.

Think about it! How on earth can people expect to be able to recognize and resist the devil if he knows the word of God better than they do? I don't believe they can. They may think they can, but they are victims of Satan's lies and are "wise in their own eyes". The Bible says those people are fools. The first chapter of Romans details people who become wise in their own eyes, exchange God's truth for what their futile minds think to be true, and the process by which they will destroy themselves and God will turn them over to their debased minds and vile passions. People who do not know God's truth are fools and will fall for a lie that will ultimately destroy them.

We are fools without God's Word, but we are given wisdom in it. We can really know the truth of what is going on in the world today if we truly know the Word of God! That takes more than reading the Bible through one time. It takes a continual daily study of God's Word, and testing everything against scripture.

Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world. - 1 John 4:1

These (the Bereans) were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so. - Acts 17:11

What Is the Answer to Every Problem Today?

Isn't it wonderful that there is truly just one answer to every problem? How simple it makes it for us! In a time when life seems so very complicated, it is quite comforting to know that the answer is, always has been, and always will be the same! We need our Lord Jesus Christ! That's it! The god of this world, Satan, has twisted and complicated the issue since the dawn of man, deceiving people away from their one true answer and help, but his actions will never change the truth. God's laws are as absolute and true as gravity, and our beliefs about that will never change it.

My advice for anyone going through anything is simply to READ YOUR BIBLE! That's it! No matter what the problem, I know that God will lead anyone to the truth through His Word. I don't have all the answers, but I know the One Who does! He holds the truth about everything that was; everything that is going on now, and that includes the world, culture, and our own personal relationships; and everything that will be in the future. And His Holy Spirit is alive and well and actively working in the hearts of people on earth right now to do His will. He says that if anyone actively seeks Him with all his or her heart and soul, they will find Him!

But from there you will seek the LORD your God, and you will find Him if you seek Him with all your heart and with all your soul. When you are in distress, and all these things come upon you in the latter days, when you turn to the LORD your God and obey His voice (for the LORD your God is a merciful God), He will not forsake you nor destroy you, nor forget the covenant of your fathers which He swore to them. - Deuteronomy 4:29-31

When you are in distress, even in the last days, no matter what you have done in the past, when you turn to Him and obey Him, He will be there for you! What a wonderful promise! Often, when we are in distress and at rock-bottom, that is when we finally turn to God in prayer. While an ongoing relationship with God may be the most important relationship we have, I believe it needs to be more than just prayer. That is because we have an active enemy constantly trying to deceive us and lead us away from God's truth. Satan himself can appear as an angel and deceive us!

And no wonder! For Satan himself transforms himself into an angel of light. - 2 Corinthians 11:14

Imagine! If an angel of light were to appear to you and teach you "words of wisdom", you might very willingly be caught up in it all! That is, unless you knew that what the angel was saying was not exactly true. Maybe it sounded good at first, but you knew that it was a lie designed to be enticing, but one that would lead to destruction. There is only one way to really know that, and that is to know the Word of God! That is why my answer to everything is, "Read your Bible."

The real answer for all people is that they need Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior, and that He is the only way to God because He alone is the perfect sacrifice for our sins. He is the only way that we can come to the almighty God of the universe when we are but filthy rags! But there is a purposeful deception being taught in the world today that all paths lead to God. If all we did was to go to church and pray to the god taught by many churches, we could be worshiping a false god, and be eternally lost. That is why Jesus said there would be people who would call Him Lord, who would believe they had prophesied in His name, who would believe they had cast out demons, and had done wonderful good things, but He would turn them away and they would not enter heaven.

Not everyone who says to Me, 'Lord, Lord,' shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. Many will say to Me in that day, 'Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?' And then I will declare to them, 'I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!' - Matthew 7:21-23

The only people who will enter the kingdom of heaven are those who do the will of God in Heaven, Jesus's Father in Heaven, to be exact! How can we know that will, if there are those who constantly purposely seek to deceive us? We can read God's Word in the Bible! God said He would never forsake us; He would never desert us with no means of knowing what we truly needed in order to have eternal life in Heaven. That is why my advice is always to read your Bible first! The answer to eternal life is found in the Bible. But maybe you don't even know that you need Jesus Christ. Maybe you don't even know enough to care about eternity. Maybe you are more concerned about your daily troubles. The answer is still the same. The Bible holds God's wisdom for living here on earth, and truly living eternally with Him. He will lead you to what you truly need.

Maybe you are a Christian who knows Jesus as Lord, but has lost his or her way because of all the deceptions in the world today. Maybe things seem so difficult today. The answer is the same. Read your Bible! God knows what you need, even when you don't! He is the Creator, the One who knew you before you were born! He knows where you have been and where you will be years from now. He knows your heart when no one else does! He alone can help you! I believe He can and will save people even without their reading of His Word. He can reach His lost sheep by any means, but life could be a lot simpler if they know His will. He has left us a manual for living, so why not use it? If we truly believed that it really did hold the answer to all our problems, I don't think we'd hesitate to use it. Well, it DOES!

Thank God That Jesus is Lord and Obama is Not!

I have had so little time to reflect on the political goings-on lately because I have had my hands full with a more local, close-to-home, ministry of sorts, and that is homeschooling my nephews! It began as something I was doing to help out, in the interim, while their mother was recovering from surgery and the birth of her sixth child. It has become practically a full-time job as I discovered that one of them has dyslexia, or perhaps even another learning disability, and I have poured most of my efforts lately into helping him to overcome any learning obstacles.

While I am ecstatic that the Republicans made so many gains in the past election, I am in no way fooled into thinking all will be well now. It's funny how much more I have become a "party person" lately. In the past, party affiliation never seemed that important. It was the person's character and record that mattered. But the Democrat Party's platform has become so ungodly and wicked, that there is no way I could ever vote for a Democrat again! While I know that all Republicans are certainly not Christians, I also know that no Christian could be a Democrat! No true Jesus-As-Lord Christian would ever be fooled into thinking that taking the lives of the most innocent for the convenience of their mothers, was a good and moral thing. They would never be deceived by the lie that homosexuality was anything other than a deliberate abominable sin choice. I've seen many Christian politicians I have known switch their party affiliation from Democrat to Republican because they can no longer stomach the Democrat Party platform, and that is how it should be. Therefore, if a person chooses the Democrat platform, I can never choose him (or her) for office.

Surely with a more Republican House of Representatives, we won't be passing such huge extreme liberal laws, but without the Senate and the executive branch, we can't actually reverse any damage that has been done by the worst president in American history. This prez stays very busy under the radar putting things into place with executive orders and through administrative posts he personally selected, so I don't have enormous faith that we can stop him yet. But it's a start!

I recently heard a very common-sensical interview with Donald Trump about things that should be done to help the economy and create jobs. The majority of our jobs have gone overseas, so if we had a huge surtax on items imported from China, or wherever, it would allow American companies to compete on a more level playing field with cheap Chinese prison labor. That sounds great, but I have a feeling our hands are tied; we've dug ourselves, as a country, into a hole too deep to climb out. With the debt we owe to China and with the control and ownership of Saudi princes and the like, we are not able to make the necessary changes to really help this country financially. We should never be looking to government for our needs, anyway. I never vote for a candidate based on what I think I can get from his being elected. It's true, I hate the huge government overreach by Obama, but it's not as much about the high taxes, as it is about the government control over my family and values. It's about our country having Godly leadership, as that is the only way we will ever have God's blessing on this country again! I can't bear the thought of us actually shrugging off God's Word to elect wicked rulers who do evil in His sight! Time and time again, the Bible speaks of kings who did evil in the sight of the Lord and caused the people to sin:

And he (Nadab) did evil in the sight of the LORD, and walked in the way of his father, and in his sin wherewith he made Israel to sin. - 1 Kings 15:26

And he (Baasha) did evil in the sight of the LORD, and walked in the way of Jeroboam, and in his sin wherewith he made Israel to sin. - 1 Kings 15:34

For his sins which he sinned in doing evil in the sight of the LORD, in walking in the way of Jeroboam, and in his sin which he did, to make Israel to sin. - 1 Kings 16:19

With wicked laws, and with the people's turning a deaf ear to God, a nation is made to sin. And what always happened to nations that did evil in the sight of the Lord?

And the children of Israel did evil again in the sight of the LORD: and the LORD strengthened Eglon the king of Moab against Israel, because they had done evil in the sight of the LORD. - Judges 3:12

And the children of Israel did evil in the sight of the LORD: and the LORD delivered them into the hand of Midian seven years. - Judges 6:1

And the children of Israel did evil again in the sight of the LORD; and the LORD delivered them into the hand of the Philistines forty years. - Judges 13:1

It's amazing to me that people really think they can disregard the Word of God and expect any different result than in Biblical times!

The ONLY way this country will ever be healed is if we truly return to God on our knees and truly repentant:

If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. - 2 Chronicles 7:14

Even if this country cannot be healed because a majority of the people refuse to turn back to God, we Christians know that Jesus is still Lord, God is still on the throne, and regardless of what a wicked government may do, we are eternally blessed because of the Lord Jesus Christ! For that, we are eternally grateful!

In God have I put my trust: I will not be afraid what man can do unto me. - Psalm 56:11

The LORD is on my side; I will not fear. What can man do to me? - Psalm 118:6

So we say with confidence, "The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?" - Hebrews 13:6

Nothing can hinder the Lord from saving, whether by many or by few. - 1 Samuel 14:6b

Great peace have they who love your law, and nothing can make them stumble. - Psalm 119:165

And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand. My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of My Father's hand. - John 10:28-29

THANK YOU, LORD!

AMEN!

Who Does Obama Believe is the Author of Our Inalienable Rights?

Two different articles today give interesting insight into Obama's way of thinking of himself.

First from WND is the report of his removal of our Creator in his quote from the Declaration of Independence at a meeting of the Congressional Hispanic Congress: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, endowed with certain inalienable rights: life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness." Interesting. Endowed by whom? The actual quote is, "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."

Through the years, Obama has certainly shown his contempt for Christianity, God, Jesus, and the truth of the Bible, so leaving the Creator God out of his quote is par for the course for him. But there is another very interesting article from American Thinker regarding a different issue, an earlier interview with Obama, where he said some very interesting things, like his definition of sin: "Being out of alignment with my values." Very interesting! So Obama himself determines sin! And then when asked whether he prayed often, he said, "Uh, yeah, I guess I do. It's not formal, me getting on my knees. I think I have an ongoing conversation with God. I think throughout the day, I'm constantly asking myself questions about what I'm doing, why am I doing it." So he has an ongoing conversation with GOD, constantly asking HIMSELF questions about what he's doing and why he's doing it (seeing if it aligns with HIS values, or if it's sin, I suppose).

I guess that explains Obama's removal of Creator God from his "quote". God is certainly the creator of life which certainly begins in the womb, but if Obama determines sin, and therefore right and wrong, then he obviously had that prayer to himself and decided that abortion is not sin. Apparently, neither is leaving an innocent baby OUTSIDE THE WOMB to die on a shelf when it miraculously survived an abortion attempt! From our Creator God comes liberty and the pursuit of happiness, but in Obama's worldview, we have only limited liberty, that which government allows us to have!

Obama truly sees government as the one who endows us with those inalienable rights. I think there can be no dispute about that; that's his socialistic worldview. But it seems to go deeper than that. He actually thinks of himself as God! He determines sin and he prays to himself. He can't give the Creator God credit. If you remember, he couldn't even give a speech in the presence of the name of Jesus Christ; he had His name covered so he could speak! His actions are blatantly anti-Christ in nature and surely a product of Satan's lie.

It's a lie as old as time. Back in the Garden of Eden, Satan used the same lie that Eve could be as God if she would eat the forbidden fruit. It's the lie of some new-age religions now - we are our own gods! I've never figured out how that makes any sense! How can we all, as Obama thinks, determine sin by whether or not it aligns with our values? Although Obama may really think only HE determines it...but to those who would rationalize his way of thinking by agreeing that what's right is what aligns with our values, how, with a grain of common sense, can this be true? If YOUR values don't align with MY values, who's right? There HAS to be an absolute measure for values. And there is! Like it or not, there's only ONE WAY and only ONE TRUTH, and He is our rule for moral values. Sin is when our values don't align with God's moral values! Period.

There is only one way to know whether our values align with God's and that is to study His moral guide for us, His Holy Bible! In reality, we can never measure up. We can never be good enough! The Bible tells us that:

But we are all like an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are like filthy rags; we all fade as a leaf, and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away. - Isaiah 64:6

But God gave us a way to cover our sins:

For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. - John 3:16

Then Jesus said to His disciples, "If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me. For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it. For what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul?" - Matthew 16:24-26

And Jesus is the ONLY way!!

Jesus said to him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me. - John 14:6

Incredible! Not Agreeing with the Great Obama May Get You an IRS Investigation!

Incredible news from World Net Daily today:

Don't agree with Obama? Get ready for IRS probe
Private group told review under way since work may 'contradict' president

According to the article, the Internal Revenue Service is delaying approval of tax-exempt status for a private organization, Z STREET, and reviewing its work, telling a lawyer for the organization that it must be examined because its activities may, and this is a quote from the lawyer, "contradict the administration's public policies"!

I personally don't know anything about Z STREET, but apparently it's a group that educates on the statehood and status of Israel.

Apparently Z STREET has met all of the requirements to be granted tax-exempt status, but approval was delayed because of a "Special Israel Policy that requires greater scrutiny of organizations which have to do with Israel, in part to determine whether they espouse positions on Israel contrary to those of the current administration."

It is unbelievable that in this "FREE" country, the government can penalize an organization simply because it doesn't agree with the government! This sounds uncomfortably similar to the position of communist governments where the people are not allowed to speak out against the government!

Interesting to note that the IRS has no problem granting tax-exempt status to CAIR, the Council on American-Islamic Relations, a co-conspirator in the Holy Land Foundation terror financing case. So once again, the enemy-in-chief gives preference to our enemies!

The Clueless and Classless Enemy-in-Chief Once Again Supports Our Enemies Against US

Once again the clueless and classless prez has shown his true colors demonstrating his hatred for our country and our traditional American values, by his embrace of our enemies and those who want to destroy our country! What a sick joke that he supposedly suddenly cares for American values and religious freedom! From the same guy who previously denounced those who would cling to their religion, comes the sentiment that "our commitment to religious freedom must be unshakable." Obama says that the place where the twin towers once stood was indeed "hallowed ground," and that the proper way to honor it was to apply American values. However, it is interesting to note that 9 years later, St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church, the church that was destroyed at the 9/11 site, can't get through all the bureaucratic red tape to rebuild, but all barriers have been removed for a mosque, including denying landmark protection for a building that must be demolished to make way for it, and even though funding has not even been established for it. Make no mistake; this is not about religious freedom!! There are mosques all over New York; no Muslims are being denied religious freedom. This is about once again giving in to our enemies who want to destroy US (purposely intended to mean "us" or the U.S., interchangeably). Even Dan Senor of the Council on Foreign Relations recognizes this when he wrote in The Wall Street Journal, "in the minds of many who are swayed by the most radical interpretations of Islam...it will be celebrated as a Muslim monument erected on the site of a great Muslim 'military' victory." Even the name of the mosque is to be the Cordoba House. "Cordoba" in Islamic symbolic terms means Islamic rule in the West. Another victory in the West! Endorsed and supported by "our" president!

What Does the Bible Say About Abortion?

What does God say about abortion? It was part of my Bible reading today, and all I can say is, "Can it be any clearer?" These are God's words, as He gives Moses the law for His people:

If men strive, and hurt a woman with child, so that her fruit depart from her, and yet no mischief follow: he shall be surely punished, according as the woman's husband will lay upon him; and he shall pay as the judges determine. And if any mischief follow, then thou shalt give life for life...Exodus 21:22-23

The word for mischief here means "hurt". So if a man hurts a pregnant woman and causes her to give birth, but there is no further hurt to come, then he is still to be punished! But if there IS harm, then God requires life for life, meaning He values that unborn baby's life EQUALLY with the grown man's life!

'Nuf said.

What is the Real Truth Anymore?

I watched Neil Cavuto yesterday and listened to his rapid-fire enumeration of many of Obama's lies to the American people (transcript here). Obama promised us the world and all that hope and glorious change; some people actually believed him, in spite of his actions that completely negated everything he promised. Because the media was responsible for Obama's rise to fame and election by completely omitting any bad news about him, they remain invested in him and support his lies, lest they look as stupid and inept as they are. We have a lying president and administration who are working hard to keep us in the dark while telling us how transparent they are. We have a media that is lying so we won't realize that they were lying and covering up before. There appears to be no truth anymore! But truth is one of those absolutes you can depend on. Just because there is an absence of truth in our country today, it doesn't mean there is no truth. There is one absolute source of genuine truth:

Though everyone else in the world is a liar, God is true. (Romans 3:4, from the New Living Translation of the Holy Bible)

Normally, I'm a King James Version gal, but I love the way that scripture reads. It really tells it like it is: EVERYONE ELSE IN THE WORLD IS A LIAR, but GOD is true. And He NEVER changes!

For I am the LORD, I change not...Malachi 3:6a

God is a constant, a steady rock we can ALWAYS count on! When all else fails, He NEVER fails!

Well, sure God is true, but that doesn't mean so-called Christians are true, one might say. So how can we know God's truth? By reading His Word!

All your words are true; all your righteous laws are eternal. Psalm 119:60

Sanctify them by the truth; your word is truth. John 17:17

When the Counselor comes, whom I will send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth who goes out from the Father, he will testify about me. John 15:26

We know truth from God's Word and from the indwelling Holy Spirit that we receive when we accept Christ as our Lord and Savior. Isn't it wonderful? Only God is true, and we can know truth through God's Word and His Spirit. We CAN know TRUTH! And we can then see and know the lies! Because....

Though everyone else in the world is a liar, God is true.

Many people say they believe in God and believe in Jesus. Satan believes in God and Jesus! It takes more than belief. It takes truly accepting Jesus as their Lord and Savior and following Him. He then sends His Holy Spirit, the Spirit of truth, to guide them in following Him.

However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come. - John 16:13

Unfortunately, many well meaning people can be easily led astray. Even Christians! That is because there is not only the truthful Holy Spirit, but there are also many deceiving spirits in the world today.

Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils...1 Timothy 4:1

Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. - 1 John 4:1

And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. - Matthew 24:11

For false christs and false prophets will rise and show great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect. - Matthew 24:24

For those who are such do not serve our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly, and by smooth words and flattering speech deceive the hearts of the simple. - Romans 16:18

There are many scriptures about those purposely deceiving us! The only way we can truly arm ourselves against the lies is to know the truth. We have established that only God is true, so we must know God personally. Jesus Christ has given us that gift when we make Him our Lord. If there are other spirits trying to deceive us, how can we know we are listening to the Spirit of Truth and not the deceiving spirit? It's not as easy as you might think, because....

Satan himself transforms himself into an angel of light. - 2 Corinthians 11:14

The Bible says Satan can look like an angel of light! And Satan believes in God and he believes in Jesus. And Satan knows the Word of God well! See how he knew scripture and used it to try to deceive Jesus:

(Speaking of the devil) And said to Him "If You are the Son of God throw Yourself down. For it is written: 'He shall give His angels charge over you' and 'In their hands they shall bear you up Lest you dash your foot against a stone.'" - Matthew 4:6

The devil was quoting Psalm 91:11 and 12 from the Bible!

Even back in the Garden of Eden, before the Bible had been written, the devil knew the Word of God:

Now the serpent was more cunning than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said to the woman "Has God indeed said 'You shall not eat of every tree of the garden'?" And the woman said to the serpent "We may eat the fruit of the trees of the garden; "But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden God has said 'You shall not eat it nor shall you touch it lest you die.'" Then the serpent said to the woman "You will not surely die. For God knows that in the day you eat of it your eyes will be opened and you will be like God knowing good and evil." - Genesis 3:1-5

The devil and his spirits have been cleverly deceiving people since the beginning of time! I can just hear them now. "Did God really say that homosexuality is bad? You will not surely die. After all, it is written 'God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him'. God knows that you are as He created you, and you are like God!"

Eve was deceived, but how did Jesus handle the devil's deceit?

Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. And when He had fasted forty days and forty nights afterward He was hungry. Now when the tempter came to Him he said "If You are the Son of God command that these stones become bread." But He answered and said "It is written 'Man shall not live by bread alone but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.'" Then the devil took Him up into the holy city and set Him on the pinnacle of the temple, And said to Him "If You are the Son of God throw Yourself down. For it is written: 'He shall give His angels charge over you' and 'In their hands they shall bear you up Lest you dash your foot against a stone.'" Jesus said to him "It is written again 'You shall not tempt the LORD your God.'" Again the devil took Him up on an exceedingly high mountain and showed Him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory. And he said to Him "All these things I will give You if You will fall down and worship me." Then Jesus said to him "Away with you Satan! For it is written 'You shall worship the LORD your God and Him only you shall serve.'" Then the devil left Him and behold angels came and ministered to Him. - Matthew 4:1-11

Every time the devil tried to deceive Jesus, He used the Word of God to rebuke him. Even when Satan used the very same Word out of context, Jesus knew the context so well, He was not deceived! Of course, He is Jesus and He IS the Word!

In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God. - John 1:1

All scripture is written for our learning, so Jesus was giving us an example of how to fight the devil's deceits and temptations. After all, what other purpose was there in Jesus being tempted of the devil?

For whatever things were written before were written for our learning that we through the patience and comfort of the Scriptures might have hope. - Romans 15:4

All Scripture is given by inspiration of God and is profitable for doctrine for reproof for correction for instruction in righteousness, That the man of God may be complete thoroughly equipped for every good work. - 2 Timothy 3:16-17

The Bible was written for our learning and we must know it WELL to combat the evil deceits. The Word is our weapon against evil.

For the word of God is living and powerful and sharper than any two-edged sword piercing even to the division of soul and spirit and of joints and marrow and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. - Hebrews 4:12

Put on the whole armor of God that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood but against principalities against powers against the rulers of the darkness of this age against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. Therefore take up the whole armor of God that you may be able to withstand in the evil day and having done all to stand. Stand therefore having girded your waist with truth having put on the breastplate of righteousness, And having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; Above all taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. And take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit which is the word of God; Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints. - Ephesians 6:11-18

The scriptures above give us the full prescription for fighting evil. Note the source of evil; it's SPIRITUAL! We need truth, righteousness, the gospel, faith, salvation, the Word of God, and prayer. I believe it can be summarized even further by saying we need salvation, prayer and to read the Bible. After all, salvation in Christ is having faith in Him and the gospel; truth comes from the Word of God; prayer is our communion with God; and righteousness results from all of the above.

We must read our Bible and read it continually if we are to know the Word of God as well as the enemy. And if we don't know it, then we look it up! The Bible tells us to try every spirit and make sure it is of God. The Bereans of the Bible were commended because they looked up things they were told to be sure it lined up with the Word of God and was so.

Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. - 1 John 4:1

(Speaking of the Bereans) These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so. - Acts 17:11

People would not have been fooled into electing this current president if they had been armed with the sword of truth! They would not have been fooled by the mainstream media if they had been properly armed. That is a fact that cannot be disputed, but many people who call themselves Christians would get their feathers very ruffled at that notion. They need to get rid of the ego and just get back to the basics of God and they will know truth and will not be fooled. I believe there are two types of people who are deceived, those who won't see the truth and those who can't. Those who won't just need to get over themselves and their sense of importance and intelligence, and just get back into the Word of God, and they will be shown the truth. But to be one of those who CAN'T see the truth is a scary thing.

We are of God. He who knows God hears us; he who is not of God does not hear us. By this we know the spirit of truth and the spirit of error. - 1 John 4:6

(Jesus said) "And I will pray the Father and He will give you another Helper that He may abide with you forever—the Spirit of truth whom the world cannot receive because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him for He dwells with you and will be in you." - John 14:16-17

If you are not of God and have not the Holy Spirit, you CANNOT understand those of God! My plea for those who are wrong in their thinking has always been, "Just read your Bible!" Don't listen to me, don't listen to conservative talk radio, don't listen to your preacher in church; just read your Bible! I KNOW that God will reveal His truth to anyone who honestly seeks it.

But from there you will seek the LORD your God, and you will find Him if you seek Him with all your heart and with all your soul. - Deuteronomy 4:29

Seek the Lord while He may be found, call upon Him while He is near. - Isaiah 55:6

A word of warning lies between the lines - seek the Lord WHILE He may be found! I believe that scripture indicates that He may not always be available, so please, SEEK HIM NOW and know the real truth!

The Obama Hitler Billboard is Spot On!

This billboard was yanked in Iowa, but it's very accurate and I'll proudly display it! Story here. Interesting it was never a problem comparing George W. Bush to Hitler, but I guess the TRUTH hurts too much!

Obama Proud of Destroying America!

Amazing! The Arrogant One has adopted a new slogan, "Yes, we did!" Did what? He has destroyed freedom, destroyed the economy, destroyed sovereignty, and destroyed relations with our allies. He is at odds with mainstream America, but he brags as if he has done something GOOD!

The Bible pegs him:

Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter. Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes and clever in their own sight. Who acquit the guilty for a bribe, but deny justice to the innocent. Therefore, as tongues of fire lick up straw and as dry grass sinks down in the flames, so their roots will decay and their flowers blow away like dust; for they have rejected the law of the Lord Almighty and spurned the word of the Holy One of Israel. Therefore the Lord's anger burns against his people; his hand is raised and he strikes them down. The mountains shake, and the dead bodies are like refuse in the streets. Yet for all this, his anger is not turned away, his hand is still upraised. - Isaiah 5:21-22, 24-25

Has there ever been a better example of someone who calls evil good, and good, evil? You can be absolutely sure that if Obama is for it, you had better be against it! And vice versa. Acquits the guilty, like the Black Panthers who want all whites killed, but Sarah Palin and Michelle Bachmann incite violence? How about all the guilty tax evaders and terrorists who hold prominent positions in this administration? But those who oppose abortion are called the domestic terrorists! The prez himself spoke of not wanting his girls "punished with a baby", and there has never been a more pro-abortion president in our history, denying justice to the most innocent!

Yet this president does have a following, mindless sheeple. They must be; that can be the only explanation. Anyone with half a brain and a little maturity could see through the rhetoric to the truth easily! The young and immature who are looking for their cool American Idol, can be fooled, but as Winston Churchill said, "Show me a young Conservative and I'll show you someone with no heart. Show me an old Liberal and I'll show you someone with no brains." Once you really start looking at facts and using your brain just a little, you instinctively know that liberalism doesn't work!

The arrogance of this president has always amazed me. With our eyes wide open and seeing what he is doing, he can stand there and proclaim the very opposite! Yet some of his adoring fans believe him. It reminds me of "Left Behind" when Carpathia killed someone in everyone's presence and then told them they saw something completely different, and they believed him! That's how we know this is spiritual! When it defies explanation, it is spiritual. The Bible tells us there is a spiritual battle going on all the time.

For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. - Ephesians 6:12

More than any president before him, this president has rejected the law of the Lord and spurned the Word of the Holy One of Israel! When I think of how he twisted words of the Bible to fit his own agenda and how he actually covered symbols of Jesus on a stage where he spoke, I get chills! This country has embraced the evil killing of innocent babies, calling it good freedom of choice; and has accepted the evil of homosexuality that God called abomination, calling it good diversity. But I think this president has laid the last straw that will bring the anger of the Lord upon this country with his rejection of Israel. I think the Lord continued to bless this country in spite of its murder of the most innocent, its acceptance of homosexuality, and its adoration for various idols, because we supported Israel.

(God, speaking of the Israelites) I will make you a great nation; I will bless you and make your name great; and you shall be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you, and I will curse him who curses you; and in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed. - Genesis 12:2-3

Obama has shown outright contempt for Israel and Netanyahu while he has bowed to and embraced Muslim extremists and terrorists. According to Chaplain Gordon James Klingenschmitt of The Pray in Jesus Name Project:

Egyptian Foreign Minister (Secretary of State) Ahmed Abul Gheit, who met privately with President Obama, is now openly stating on Arabic television that, quote: "I had a one-on-one meeting with Obama, who told me that he was a Muslim, the son of a Muslim father and stepson of Muslim stepfather, that his half-brothers in Kenya were Muslims, and that he was sympathetic to the Muslim agenda. He asked the Arabs to show patience. Obama promised that once he overcame some domestic American issues (like healthcare reform), he would show the Muslim world how he would deal with Israel." This quote was translated from Arabic to English off Nile TV by Victor Mordecai, reporter for Israel Today, and you can read the original magazine article here.

Dr. Richard Rubenstein, Harvard Ph.D., Yale fellow, and “Distinguished Professor of the Year”, states that Obama’s "intention is to correct the historical mistake of the creation of the state of Israel.” Dr. Rubenstein states that Obama is extremely pro-Muslim, to the point of “wanting to see the destruction of Israel.”



With no reverential fear of Almighty God, this country, under this administration, charges full steam ahead in its immoral and destructive practices, seemingly taunting Him. He left us His Word, told us what He would do, but we ignore Him. It's time to be very afraid! This country is, no doubt, going down! We did it, alright!! True Christians needn't be afraid. Oh, not that we won't also suffer the wrath of God on this country, but followers of Christ will live with Him eternally. Now is the time to fear the Lord, ask His forgiveness, repent, and follow Him, not man. When we seek the Lord with all our hearts, we will find Him, and He will show us truth, and the truth will make us free!

But from there you will seek the LORD your God, and you will find Him if you seek Him with all your heart and with all your soul. - Deuteronomy 4:29

(Jesus, speaking of the Holy Spirit) However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come. - John 16:13

Then Jesus said to those Jews who believed Him, "If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed. And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:31-32

A word of warning, though, without the Holy Spirit, you cannot see or know truth, and there is limited time to come to the Lord and receive His Holy Spirit.

We are of God. He who knows God hears us; he who is not of God does not hear us. By this we know the spirit of truth and the spirit of error. - 1 John 4:6

Seek the LORD while He may be found, Call upon Him while He is near. - Isaiah 55:5

"While" indicates that there is a time when He will not be found. Finally, as David told his son, Solomon, in 1 Chronicles 28:9, "...know the God of your father, and serve Him with a loyal heart and with a willing mind; for the LORD searches all hearts and understands all the intent of the thoughts. If you seek Him, He will be found by you; but if you forsake Him, He will cast you off forever."

There Is No News Anymore, Only State-Run Propaganda!

Today I read an email from one of my trusted news sources, One News Now, and find that Google (or some upstanding liberal extremist who only wants to make sure you get the "truth") has been sabotaging links to the One News Now website. It seems when you try to go to their website, you get a warning page from Google that says your computer may be harmed if you go to their site! Incredible the links people will go to prevent others from knowing the truth, or even just to get all the information to make their own informed decisions!

Long ago I learned we didn't really get news anymore, more especially since Obama has been on the scene. He himself keeps staff quite busy whitewashing and even erasing (I've seen it more than once personally) unflattering news stories about him. Then there's the news media who completely abandoned true investigative reporting when they had to make sure their guy got elected. They have too much invested to make a complete turnaround and actually start reporting real news on the guy now! Then there are the extreme leftists who don't want any alternative information or any debate because, frankly, when there is real debate, THEY LOSE! So they just sabotage, ridicule, and spew hate with their talking points and kool-aid, screaming loudly to speak over any alternate view.

The state-run mainstream media of late has been unbelievable telling us how we really do like the health care bill, the economy is really growing, and Obama is the great REFORM president! You don't have to look far to find the truth, but you do have to use a little energy and a little wisdom (something vastly lacking in many American sheeple). Right here in the small town where I live I was witness to one of the scams by the Obama administration in finagling the job numbers. They were letting census-workers go, only to rehire them for another position or another location, SO THEY COULD INFLATE THE NEW JOB NUMBERS!!

Isn't it amazing that the National Enquirer has become the REAL news?? Who would have ever believed it 20 years ago? But they broke the John Edwards' baby story and the Al Gore sexual assault story. Incredible!

I never believe anything I hear from the Obama administration or the mainstream media, I mean NEVER! If it sounds good, I KNOW it is a lie or there is an ulterior sinister motive, and the amazing thing is, I am always right!! This guy never fails; he is ALWAYS up to no good! But then, I never expected any differently! I knew going in what kind of person he was, and it is the reason I fought so hard against him. And NOW, people are waking up, but I'm afraid it is too late for this country. This guy is so busy doing so many destructive things under the radar, things we don't learn about until it is said and done and too late, that there is no hope for this country. I wish the liberals and the sheeple (those who aren't really liberal, but blindly accept what they are told by liberals) could hear how many callers into many of the conservative talk shows are people formerly from communist countries who are afraid of the path their free America is taking! THEY can see it plainly, but somehow our American liberals believe we can do it better! Sounds like that pride that will go before that sure fall. Sounds like the prideful nation in Revelation that will fall. Sounds like there is no escaping the destruction. But there is salvation in the REAL truth. God is still on the throne and is still at work. I believe many people will come to salvation because of the hard times, but I am confident there will be hard times for America.

Whether Obama Likes It or Not, America's A Dominant Military Superpower, But Just Give Him Time!

What kind of US president could ever say such a thing, but leave it to our Embarrassment-in-Chief:

"It is a vital national security interest of the United States to reduce these conflicts because, whether we like it or not, we remain a dominant military super power, and when conflicts break out, one way or another we get pulled into them."

Who would not like it? Some anti-war types may not like that we get involved in wars, but do you really want us unable to defend ourselves against the number-1 military superpower, if it isn't us? That's what the appeasing, apologetic, America-hating prez we are so blessed to have, wants, evident by his actions. Oh, but that's not what he means, you say; it was taken out of context. He means "like it or not, we will get pulled into conflicts". Well, then, why can't he say what he means? Never has there been a president so full of blunders if he is not saying what he means half the time! I think it much more likely that:

A good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart brings forth evil. For out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks. - Luke 6:45

Just give him time; he is dismantling every strength we have as quickly as he can! He's definitely brought CHANGE; is it everything you hoped for?

Oh, and by the way, also true to form, another symbolic gesture from our Islam-religion-of-peace-loving, Israel-hating, prez:


See any similarities?


These images were borrowed from an article on Evil Conservative:


Lest we think it another poor chosen misstep and not actually from the abundance of his evil heart, let's remember the new Missile Defense Agency logo:

The Kenyan Plot Thickens

I find this news of late amusing:

A Kenyan lawmaker told the nation's parliament last month that Barack Obama was born in Africa and is therefore "not even a native American."

During debate over the draft of a new Kenyan constitution, James Orengo, the country's minister of lands and a member of parliament for the Ugenya constituency, cited America's election of a Kenyan-born president as an example of what can be accomplished when diverse peoples unite:

"If America was living in a situation where they feared ethnicity and did not see itself as a multiparty state or nation," Orengo posited, "how could a young man born here in Kenya, who is not even a native American, become the president of America?"

Then: Kenyan officials affirm: Obama 'son of this soil'

Then we have the inconsequential news that Obama ditched a presidential press pool for his daughter's soccer game.

But today the news is that Obama Attended a Non-Existent Soccer Game!

Why is that interesting and a bit amusing?

Hmmm. Kenyan Embassy is en route to "soccer game" that never was.

Time to smack those Kenyans back in line and change some more archived articles?

I find it amazing that this kind of stuff doesn't even interest the mainstream media. Well, then again, I guess they are the STATE-RUN MEDIA! But even NPR slipped up and admitted that Obama was born in Kenya! But that archived article got quickly changed. The story is linked here: NPR archive describes Obama as 'Kenyan-born'

Even Michelle Obama said that Kenya was her husband's HOME COUNTRY! You have to wonder if it was a slip of the tongue or an IN YOUR FACE? But those Kenyans are talking a bit too much! :-)

Not that anything will come of it. The time for action was LONG ago before the election when the news was as big as it is now, but we couldn't let a little thing like evidence that the cool Obama, media darling rock star, might not even be constitutionally eligible to be president! Now that he's safely president, there is no way in the world the Supreme Court or the Congress would take the presidency away from him. Even if Congress gets a Republican majority in November, there's no way the Republicans would try to impeach the first black president! Never mind the fact he actually IS the worst president in the history of our country and has done more unlawful and unconstitutional acts to destroy this country, and in short order, than any predecessor, no matter how liberal, has ever been allowed. Probably because he IS black, and no one wanted to appear racist! Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., sadly, we still have not come to a time when men are judged not by the color of their skin, but by their character!

But it's still interesting to see the truth unfold, and to see Obama squirm, even if just a little bit!

Americans Are Sleeping (or Blind)

My absolute favorite song is "While You Were Sleeping" by Casting Crowns:

"While You Were Sleeping"

Oh little town of Bethlehem
Looks like another silent night
Above your deep and dreamless sleep
A giant star lights up the sky
And while you're lying in the dark
There shines an everlasting light
For the King has left His throne
And is sleeping in a manger tonight

Oh Bethlehem, what you have missed while you were sleeping
For God became a man
And stepped into your world today
Oh Bethlehem, you will go down in history
As a city with no room for its King
While you were sleeping
While you were sleeping

Oh little town of Jerusalem
Looks like another silent night
The Father gave His only Son
The Way, the Truth, the Life had come
But there was no room for Him in the world He came to save

Jerusalem, what you have missed while you were sleeping
The Savior of the world is dying on your cross today
Jerusalem, you will go down in history
As a city with no room for its King
While you were sleeping
While you were sleeping

United States of America
Looks like another silent night
As we're sung to sleep by philosophies
That save the trees and kill the children
And while we're lying in the dark
There's a shout heard 'cross the eastern sky
For the Bridegroom has returned
And has carried His bride away in the night

America, what will we miss while we are sleeping
Will Jesus come again
And leave us slumbering where we lay
America, will we go down in history
As a nation with no room for its King
Will we be sleeping
Will we be sleeping

United States of America
Looks like another silent night

I always found this song so perfectly appropriate for our country at this time. Jesus is indeed coming again and coming soon, apparent by the way we see Bible prophecy rapidly unfolding before our eyes. But so many Americans don't see it. They do seem to have been lulled to sleep by philosophies that take us away from the Word of God. Many do indeed think it more moral to save the planet than to save innocent babies. They think it more enlightened to ignore the "old ways", even if those old ways are the Words of God! God repeatedly told us how much he HATES the killing of innocent life. But a sign of the times described in scripture is that people will exchange the truth of God for a lie and will worship and serve created things rather than the Creator Himself (Romans 1:25). Why can't people see?

In this country many have also been lulled into believing it more moral and loving to accept the homosexual's behavior to the point that it is elevated to the status of "normal" to be taught to our grammar school kids and to the status of God-ordained marriage. The homosexual's rights are even glorified to a status greater than the average person! Their "rights" trump those of Bible-believing Christians with employee non-discrimination legislation and hate crimes legislation. Never mind that God said homosexuality was an abomination and that we in future times were to use Sodom and Gomorrah as an example! But do we take heed of His warning? Homosexuality is an act; it is not a person. Love the person; hate the sin. Homosexual behavior is a sin, and although the person may be tempted by this kind of lifestyle, he can surely overcome. No temptation is given to man that he can't overcome through the blood of Jesus Christ! But just as a murderer must ask for forgiveness and REPENT (change from his murderous ways) or as a thief must repent or adulterer or liar or gossiper, etc., etc., so must the homosexual. An effeminate man drawn to another man is not a homosexual until he acts on those feelings in a sexual way! It is no sin to have temptations! We ALL suffer temptation in our particular area of weakness. Even Jesus was tempted by Satan! It's what we DO with that temptation that matters! But American people have been lulled into thinking they are being more open-minded and more loving by accepting and thus enabling homosexual behavior.

The apostle Paul described in great detail in the first chapter of Romans what would happen. The wrath of God would be revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness. God has shown Himself clearly, so they are without excuse. They knew God, but they glorified Him not, they weren't thankful, but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish hearts were darkened. How much clearer can it be? We know God's Word but we give no glory to it at all. We ignore it and think we have become so enlightened, when in actuality, we have become fools! Romans 1:22 goes on to sum it up exactly that way: Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools! And they changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man. Because they changed the truth of God to a lie, God gave them up to their vile affections, for even the women turned against the natural way to have sex and instead indulged in sex with each other. And also the men abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. And knowing the judgment of God, that they who commit such things are worthy of death, not only do them, but have pleasure in them that do them. Those scriptures should send a chilling shock down the spine to think how flippantly we ignore God's warning!! He speaks not only to the people who do these things, but to those who approve of those who practice them!!

Obama tells us the new morality is to save the earth and share the wealth to give to the poor. Taking from the rich to give to the poor is still TAKING, and therefore STEALING. God's system of tithing would go a long way in taking care of the poor if we would listen to His wisdom. BUT Jesus also said that the poor would be with us always and when we could, we were to do them good, BUT HE would not be with us always. He commended the woman who worshiped Him (rather than giving her extravagance to the poor). But our country believes we can push God out of government, out of schools, out of the public square, and we believe it's the government's place to give us our "rights". Our inalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness are diminishing with this administration, but we have been "given" the right to health care! Let's see there's been a right to HDTV programming and a right to privacy discovered in the constitution! There's a RIGHT to abortion even though that removes the "inalienable" right to life for the baby! People scream for rights for higher education, jobs, and daycare.

We have placed government above God as our provider. The sheeple swooned over the "cool" Obama who promised the world with absolutely no experience and no past record to back it up. As a matter of fact, it was pretty simple to see what he would really do by looking at his past statements, voting record, and his lifetime associations. This Obama was so much more radically and scarily liberal than any predecessor; it was evident in what he had said and what he had voted. This Obama was blasphemous as he pretended to speak the words of Jesus to convince the sheeple he was a Christian. Then there was the media that propped him up and never let anything be questioned. Why, even NPR said the guy was born in Kenya!! National Public Radio, the darling of the enlightened liberals, in an archived article said Obama was born in Kenya! Kenya also reported it on a number of occasions, but all archived articles have now been changed. See this report about NPR here. Here's a late breaking article just tonight about how a Kenyan official said once again Obama was born in Kenya:

A Kenyan lawmaker told the nation's parliament last month that Barack Obama was born in Africa and is therefore "not even a native American."

During debate over the draft of a new Kenyan constitution, James Orengo, the country's minister of lands and a member of parliament for the Ugenya constituency, cited America's election of a Kenyan-born president as an example of what can be accomplished when diverse peoples unite:

"If America was living in a situation where they feared ethnicity and did not see itself as a multiparty state or nation," Orengo posited, "how could a young man born here in Kenya, who is not even a native American, become the president of America?"

World Net Daily has a long list of documented inconsistencies regarding Obama's birth and his ineligibility to be president. When there were pending court cases before the election regarding his eligibility, when there were trial dates set for a president-elect and then a sitting president, there was nothing in the mainstream media. Was that not HOT NEWS?? Would it not have been the biggest news ever and the biggest news longest if similar things had come up regarding President Bush? Or what about Sarah Palin? Yet this media protects this president. The dirty deals of the health care bill, the take-over of student loans (in a health care bill?), the establishing of a new army of reserve corps (in a health care bill?), the take-over of the auto industry, banks, insurance - where's the media in all this?? This week we have the dis-arming of America in a very dangerous world and the continued snubbing of our best ally in the Middle East. Obama can say one thing while he is doing the exact opposite and the media just run with what he said! And the sheeple eat it up. Are they really sleeping? Or are they blinded and truly can't see?

I believe our Lord is making good on all His promises of what would happen if we didn't listen. I believe the sheeple have been blinded while He is using His servant Obama to bring about the destruction of America. I believe the last straw has been turning our back on Israel. The Lord said He would bless those who blessed Israel, and as long as we did, He put up with our sleeping on the other issues, but nap's over! People, it is time to see the truth, as time is running short! It won't be long and Jesus will return. Will we be sleeping as the five virgins in the parable?

Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom. And five of them were wise, and five were foolish. They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them: But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps. While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept. And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him. Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps. And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out. But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves. And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut. Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us. But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not. Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh. - Matthew 25:1-13

The CHANGE We HOPED For - To Be Like Cuba! Thanks, Obama! We Have Arrived!

Fidel Castro says it's a miracle! Obama has finally done what he himself was able to do in only 50 years. But, he says, we must pass climate change and immigration reform! Never fear, with Fidel Castro as one of his models, Obama's working as fast as his corrupt mouth and hands can!

Cuban leader applauds US health-care reform bill

People, please open your eyes and see where this is headed! Socialism has never worked! It leads to corrupt dictators every single time! And for people who fail to see that it is Socialism this administration wants, you need only look at the writings and speeches of practically every single person the president has surrounded himself with, including family, friends, and spiritual advisers, and most certainly the people in power!

But why are Americans blinded? Why can't they see? Jan Markell with Olive Tree Ministries has written an excellent article about the truth behind it all:

What Does It All Mean?

Even though Americans have been deluded, the Bible says God will give wisdom to those who ask for it. But we must remember that He gives us the desires of our hearts only when we ask for those things that He desires for us, good things that will make us grow and prosper! So when we diligently seek Him with all our hearts and ask for his wisdom, He will give it! But to know His wisdom, we must know His Word, so we must stay in His Word every day and we will not be deceived.

If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him. - James 1:5

You ask and do not receive, because you ask amiss, that you may spend it on your pleasures. - James 4:3

Delight yourself also in the LORD, And He shall give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to the LORD, Trust also in Him, And He shall bring it to pass. - Psalms 37:4-5

For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope. - Jeremiah 29:11

And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart. - Jeremiah 29:13

Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. - Colossians 3:16

The wise men are ashamed, They are dismayed and taken. Behold, they have rejected the word of the LORD; So what wisdom do they have? - Jeremiah 8:9

Alas, that is America's problem. She has rejected the Word of the Lord, so what wisdom can she have?

My Thoughts on Bart Stupak

There are those who are screaming that Bart Stupak betrayed pro-lifers! He lied! Well, DUH! He's a Democrat! I never had faith that he would stand till the end. Democrats never do! Oh, sure, there were some thirty-odd Democrat votes against the health care bill, and they may claim it was because of the abortion issue, but I guarantee you that if their votes were needed, they would have folded, too. They were ALLOWED to vote as they did because their votes weren't needed. There is not one person of real integrity in the Democrat Party. You'll never convince me that it is so. If they truly had values and moral conviction, they could never associate with such an evil platform! Don't get me wrong, Republicans are not all good, either. BUT all good men are Republicans (or Independents), but NEVER a Democrat! Of course, I guess it depends on what your definition of GOOD is, so let's just say all true Christ-following Christians or righteous men would be Republicans or maybe Independents, but never Democrats. Their consciences would never allow them to be Democrats. I've known a few good Democrats in public office, but they changed parties when they realized they could no longer accept the Democrat platform!

So no betrayal by Bart Stupak, as far as I'm concerned. He's a spineless liar, just as they all are. BUT - the lives of hundreds of thousands of babies are on his head! He is PERSONALLY responsible for the lives of innocent babies because he could have been the one to prevent the health care bill from passing! He pretended to stand for life all this time, but folded at the last minute? What kind of stand is that??? A deceitful one, at best, but I just think he couldn't help it. He's a Democrat! That's what Democrats do!

Regarding the Demwit's reasons for folding - some executive order that would prevent abortion funding AFTER THE FACT??? What a joke! THE MOST PRO-ABORTION PRESIDENT IN THE HISTORY OF OUR COUNTRY is going to sign that executive order??? Also don't forget to add, the most LYING president we ever had!! Is Stupak an idiot??? No, he knows better than that; that was just his cover for wimping out. But it's a mighty sheer cover. He just thinks WE'RE STUPID! As all Dems do. The VERY NEXT DAY Planned Parenthood is claiming victory in that "We were able to keep the Stupak abortion ban out of the final legislation and President Obama did not include the Stupak language in his executive order." What FOOLS they are, or more likely, what fools they think we are!!

Well, I intend to tell Bart Stupak, if my letter will ever get to him personally, that because of his GAME with innocent life, HE is the one personally responsible for those lives! May they be on his conscience and I hope he can truly come to see the truth of what he himself did.

This is why I can't post political stuff on here much anymore. It makes me too angry! There's a helpless feeling when the people aren't heard or the sheeple are deceived and can't see truth or reason, when you see an evil corrupt government taking over and bringing about prophetic end times. BUT that feeling is brief, because our help and hope has never come from government or a PERSON (remember the HOPE and CHANGE mantra?), but only from our Lord.

Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, whose confidence is in Him. He will be like a tree planted by the water that sends out its roots by the stream. It does not fear when heat comes; its leaves are always green. It has no worries in a year of drought. -- Jeremiah 17:7-8

No worries!

There Is NO SUCH THING as a PRO-LIFE Democrat! You're Lying If You Say It's So!

Anyone who can change his mind and compromise life if the price is right is NOT pro-life. And regarding those 34 Dems who voted against the health care bill, if their votes had been needed to pass this monstrosity, they would have folded, too! A Democrat never fails to fold on moral issues - NEVER! Actually, they never seem to fail at folding - PERIOD! Not when the great Obama insists. If they were truly pro-life, they wouldn't be Democrats, because they wouldn't be able to stomach their party's platform.

It's truly a sad day for this country, for freedom, for the Constitution. And I'm so angry at the lying, corruption, and arm-twisting, to force something on the American people that they were shouting loudly and clearly that they didn't want! And tonight I can't help but be angry at the 25% portion of the 70% of Americans who DIDN'T want this bill who could have stopped us from having Obama as president if they had just listened to him on the campaign trail back then. He told us what he would do. He said he wanted universal health care. He said he wanted to share the wealth. He said it would cost us. He surrounded himself with people who later became his cabinet who told us they believe in population control and formulas for figuring out a person's worth when it comes to health care (i. e. death panels). He told us everything and you voted for him anyway!

When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice; but when the wicked rule, the people mourn. Proverbs 29:2

Michelle Obama, Keep Your Hands Off Our Kids and Take Care of Your Own Family's High Cholesterol!

Michelle Obama, who is so interested in controlling the diets of OUR children, should focus more on her own family. Interesting, even if a bit trivial, news today that the prez's physical found him still smoking and needing a better diet to lower his high cholesterol.

First Recorded Pro-Active Pro-Lifers!

I love my Bible study this morning! It was the first account I know of in the Bible of really pro-active pro-life midwives who defied the command of the king to save the lives of newborn babies.

Then the king of Egypt spoke to the Hebrew midwives, of whom the name of one was Shiphrah and the name of the other Puah; and he said, "When you do the duties of a midwife for the Hebrew women, and see them on the birthstools, if it is a son, then you shall kill him; but if it is a daughter, then she shall live." But the midwives feared God, and did not do as the king of Egypt commanded them, but saved the male children alive. So the king of Egypt called for the midwives and said to them, "Why have you done this thing, and saved the male children alive?" And the midwives said to Pharaoh, "Because the Hebrew women are not like the Egyptian women; for they are lively and give birth before the midwives come to them." Therefore God dealt well with the midwives, and the people multiplied and grew very mighty. And so it was, because the midwives feared God, that He provided households for them. - Exodus 1:15-21

The midwives feared GOD rather than the king. As God always does in the Bible, He always reaffirms something He wants us to remember. He said that a thing will be established by the mouth of two or three witnesses, not just one lone comment. He follows that pattern whenever He speaks to us in the Bible, and you'll always find a precept described at least twice. Therefore, if an obscure scripture seems to contradict another, rest assured that if it is truly the Word of the Lord and translated correctly, it will be confirmed by another scripture.

One witness shall not rise against a man concerning any iniquity or any sin that he commits; by the mouth of two or three witnesses the matter shall be established. - Deuteronomy 19:15

This will be the third time I am coming to you. "By the mouth of two or three witnesses every word shall be established." - 2 Corinthians 13:1

God reaffirms the moral instruction that we are to obey Him rather than our rulers when those rulers contradict the laws of God.

But Peter and the other apostles answered and said: "We ought to obey God rather than men." - Acts 5:29

What a beautiful and clear example we have for defending the lives of babies! The midwives defied the king and even lied to him, and God blessed them!

Oh, I can hear the liberals now trying to twist scripture to make a moral issue out of global warming or population control for the "good of the planet", but that doesn't fly. Or deceived Christians trying to rationalize their voting for the likes of Obama and other anti-life and anti-family candidates because they will help the poor or help save the earth. In context you can only acquire by reading ALL of your Bible, you will find that God values the lives of the most innocent and His own commandments over the planet and created things. Jesus Himself said that we would have the poor with us always, but not so Him. There are many precepts in the Bible instructing us on how we should give to the poor, not the least being with our tithes. If everyone gave God His first 10% as they should, the poor could be taken care of with these funds. If everyone followed their Lord as they should, they would give to others as they should. The poor do not rank above the Lord; but by following our Lord first, the poor will be cared for.

For you have the poor with you always, but Me you do not have always. - Matthew 26:11

For you have the poor with you always, and whenever you wish you may do them good; but Me you do not have always. - Mark 14:7

God ranks above worship of the planet and His people are ranked above the lives of animals for food. However, He describes what will happen, and what IS happening in our world today with the green and vegetarian movements and the homosexual movement, as well:

For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, because what may be known of God is manifest in them, for God has shown it to them. For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse, because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened. Professing to be wise, they became fools, and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like corruptible man--and birds and four-footed animals and creeping things. Therefore God also gave them up to uncleanness, in the lusts of their hearts, to dishonor their bodies among themselves, who exchanged the truth of God for the lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen. For this reason God gave them up to vile passions. For even their women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature. Likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust for one another, men with men committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the penalty of their error which was due. And even as they did not like to retain God in [their] knowledge, God gave them over to a debased mind, to do those things which are not fitting; being filled with all unrighteousness, sexual immorality, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil-mindedness; they are whisperers, backbiters, haters of God, violent, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, undiscerning, untrustworthy, unloving, unforgiving, unmerciful; who, knowing the righteous judgment of God, that those who practice such things are deserving of death, not only do the same but also approve of those who practice them. - Romans 1:18-32
