Disturbing, but True


I heard a couple of statistics yesterday that really soured my stomach. I have to share them for a number of reasons, not the least of which is the fact that I actually have a fear for the continuation of our nation as a free Republic. What our founding fathers fought and died for is being erased and made null and void.

Statistic #1.
A poll was done in 2 days by an independent research company that questioned over 15K homes of registered voters as to whether or not they supported the idea of the federal "stimulus" bill. The results that they came up with showed that nearly 80% of Americans polled REJECT the idea of this stimulus package and DO NOT want it to pass. Personally, I do not know a single person that supports this legislation that is no more a stimulus bill than any other pork-filled piece of legislation.

In my estimation, if this bill passes, we are no longer a democratic republic, but rather live under an Anarchist Leadership where 550 some people get to decide the fate of all Americans regardless of what we think or vote. If this bill passes, with a CLEAR majority of Americans against it, every single representative legislator that votes for it, should be arrested and tried for treason, and if found guilty, hung for their crime against the people. These legislators were elected to represent their constituency, not to vote their own conscience.

Statistic #2.
If this stimulus bill passes under our currently democratically controlled House, Senate and Executive, this administration, in their first 30 days or so in office, will have authorized more deficit spending than, get this, our whole nation has authorized from 1776, to 1980!! That's right, this one administration in 30 days will have authorized the spending or more borrowed money (which this bill does not even address how that will get repaid, and no one seems to be asking...), than every single administration before them from George Washington through to Ronald Reagan! Unbelievable.

Statistic #3.
If this stimulus bill passes, the United States Government will them own or control over 30% of our nations Gross National Product. International economic statistics say that when a government owns or controls one third or more of the GNP of a nation, that it is no longer considered a democratic governmental system, but a Socialist one. In other words, if this bill passes, in the eyes of international money men, America will be looked upon as a socialist nation, not a democracy.

Please pray for our nation and it's leadership. It is a biblical directive after all. Then, call your legislators today and urge them to vote against this stimulus bill, or our nation will change for the worse, not the better, and may not be reversible.

Who IS Jesus?

Seems like silly question for a pastor to ask, but I find it more abundantly important today more than ever. When we get into conversations with non-believers, one of the first things that draws them to learn more is the conviction of their sin. This is a work of the Holy Spirit not us. Understanding that they have sinned, and understanding that they have sinned against God that has authority over them makes sense to a lot of people. Once they come to that understanding, they next step is to understand a need for forgiveness of that sin- what we call salvation. “Salvation” is a funny thing. Because in spite of the fact that its Christian meaning is virtually universal in its definition, how we come to receive salvation is where people get tripped up. To the evangelical Christian, Salvation can only be had one way. Through the biblical Jesus, and belief in Him as your openly means to salvation by faith, through the grace of God. Why do we believe this? Because this is what scriptu...

Matthew McConaughry, the Oscars and God

As Christians, we know what those relationships with other Christians feel like. They are just - better. You know what I mean. You get to know someone, might just be for a few moments, or even a few months, and the opportunity comes up to talk about church or faith, and you find out your friend or associate is a believer too. Suddenly, what was already a good relationship becomes a great one. It becomes better! Not because of you, or them. But because of Christ, and your fellowship in Him. As most Christians would confess, Hollywood has done far more to degrade our society and to mock God and His ways then it ever has done to make society better. 100 years ago when moving pictures were just getting started with films like " A Trip to the Moon ", the subject matter was a bit more tame. With the first open-mouth kiss coming to film in 1926, it did not take long for things to progress. Subject matter transformed from Charlie Chaplin's innocent, confused, com...

Not Drinking the Glenn Beck Kool-Aid®

I received several copies of a letter yesterday. I’m still struggling with this is many ways. It was authored by a fellow that I have a great deal of respect for as a man, and as a Christian leader in America. The letter covered this man's thoughts on the faith of radio talk show host and Fox News favorite, Glenn Beck. This discussion has come up often, and seems to be all the buzz in the Christian realm right now. I have consternating over this for some time, and having formed an opinion, feel it necessary today to weigh in on my thoughts.   I’m not drinking the Glenn Beck Christian Kool-Aid. Don't get me wrong, I love Glenn Beck, he's a heck of a nice guy. But there is much confusion here that needs to be addressed with regards to his Mormon faith. What if any other known Mormon walked up to your door and started telling you about their love for Jesus? What if any other self-confessed Mormon told you about their ‘conversion’ to Jesus? What if any other Mormon star...
