TEA BAGGERS
I have heard and read the Tea Party groups disparaged as bands of angry citizens who only threaten armed revolution. Those of us who have participated know that for the lie that it is. It is, however, what the lame-stream media prefers to portray about us.
To all, especially if you have not been involved with or attended any of the TEA party activities or rallies, please take a few minutes to read and absorb just what this woman had to say, and then hopefully everyone will pass it to their entire mailing list, and theirs to theirs until it circles the nation! Time is short and arrogance, stupidity, and ignorance abound...The following letter is rapidly circulating around the country. Americans everywhere identify with this 53-year-old woman from Arizona. She has given us a voice. Once you read this, you will want to forward it to all of your friends and maybe even your elected officials in Washington D.C.
"I am a home grown American citizen, 53, registered Democrat all my life. Before the last presidential election I registered as a Republican because I no longer felt the Democratic Party represents my views or works to pursue issues important to me. Now I no longer feel the Republican Party represents my views or works to pursue issues important to me. The fact is I no longer feel any political party or representative in Washington represents my views or works to pursue the issues important to me. Instead, we are burdened with Congressional Dukes and Duchesses who think they know better than the citizens they are supposed to represent.
There must be someone. Please tell me who you are. Please stand up and tell me that you are there and that you're willing to fight for our Constitution as it was written. Please stand up now. You might ask yourself what my views and issues are that I would feel so horribly disenfranchised by both major political parties. What kind of nut-job am I? Well, these briefly are the views and issues for which I seek representation:
One- illegal immigration.I want you to stop coddling illegal immigrants and secure our borders. Close the underground tunnels. Stop the violence and the trafficking in drugs and people. No amnesty, not again. Been there, done that, no resolution. P.S., I'm not a racist. This is not to be confused with legal immigration.
Two- the STIMULUS bill. I want it repealed and I want no further funding supplied to it. We told you No, but you did it anyway. I want the remaining unfunded 95% repealed. Freeze, repeal.
Three- Czars. I want the circumvention of our constitutional checks and balances stopped immediately. Fire the czars. No more czars. Government officials answer to the process, not to the president. Stop trampling on our Constitution, and honor it.
Four- cap and trade. The debate on global warming is not over. There are many conflicting opinions and it is too soon for this radical legislation. Quit throwing our nation into politically-correct quicksand.
Five, universal healthcare. I will not be rushed into another expensive decision that will burden me, my children, and grandchildren. Don't you dare try to pass this in the middle of the night without even reading it. Slow down! Fix only what is broken -- we have the best health care system in the world -- and test any new program in one or two states first.
Six- growing government control. I want states rights and sovereignty fully restored. I want less government in my life, not more. More is not better! Shrink it down. Mind your own business. You have enough to take care of with your REAL [Constitutional] obligations. Why don't you start there.
Seven- ACORN. I do not want ACORN and its affiliates in charge of our 2010 census. I want them investigated. I also do not want mandatory escrow fees contributed to them every time on every real estate deal that closes -- how did they pull that one off? Stop the funding to ACORN and its affiliates pending impartial audits and investigations. I do not trust them with taking the census with our taxpayer money. I don't trust them with any of our taxpayer money. Face up to the allegations against them and get it resolved before taxpayers get any more involved with them. If it walks like a duck and talks like a duck, hello. Stop protecting your political buddies. You work for us, the people. Investigate.
Eight- redistribution of wealth. No, no, no. I work for my money. It is mine. I have always worked for people with more money than I have because they gave me jobs -- and that is the only redistribution of wealth that I will support. I never got a job from a poor person! Why do you want me to hate my employers? And what do you have against shareholders making a profit?
Nine- charitable contributions. Although I never got a job from a poor person, I have helped many in need. Charity belongs in our local communities, where weknow our needs best and can use our local talent and our local resources. Butt out, please. We want to do it ourselves.
Ten- corporate bailouts. Knock it off. Every company must sink or swim like the rest of us. If there are hard times ahead, we'll be better off just getting into it and letting the strong survive. Quick and painful. (Have you ever ripped off a Band-Aid?) We will pull together. Great things happen in America under great hardship. Give us the chance to innovate. We cannot disappoint you more than you have disappointed us.
Eleven- transparency and accountability. How about it? No, really, how about it? Let's have it. Let's say we give the buzzwords a rest and have some straight honest talk. Please stop trying to manipulate and appease me with clever wording. I am not the idiot you obviously take me for. Stop sneaking around and meeting in back rooms making deals with your friends. It will only be a prelude to your criminal investigation. Stop hiding things from me.
Twelve- unprecedented quick spending. Stop it now. Take a breath. Listen to the people. Slow down and get some input from nonpoliticians and experts on the subject. Stop making everything an emergency. Stop speed-reading our bills into law.
I am not an activist. I am not a community organizer. Nor am I a terrorist, a militant or a violent person. I am a parent and a grandparent. I work. I'm busy. I am busy, and I am tired. I thought we elected competent people to take care of the business of government so that we could work, raise our families, pay our bills, have a little recreation, complain about taxes, endure our hardships, pursue our personal goals, cut our lawn, wash our cars on the weekends and be responsible contributing members of society and teach our children to be the same all while living in the home of the free and land of the brave.
I entrusted you with upholding the Constitution. I believed in the checks and balances to keep from getting far off course. What happened? You are very far off course. Do you really think I find humor in the hiring of a speed reader to unintelligently ramble all through a bill that you signed into law without knowing what it contained? I do not. It is a mockery of the responsibility I have entrusted to you. It is a slap in the face. I am not laughing at your arrogance. Why is it that I feel as if you would not trust me to make a single decision about my own life and how I would live it but you should expect that I should trust you with the debt that you have laid on all of us and our children. We did not want the TARP bill. We said no. We would repeal it if we could. There is needless urgency and recklessness in all of your recent spending of our tax dollars.
From my perspective, it seems that all of you have gone insane. I also know that I am far from alone in these feelings. Do you honestly feel that your current pursuits have merit to patriotic Americans? We want it to stop. We want to put the brakes on everything that is being rushed by us and forced upon us. We want our voice back. You have forced us to put our lives on hold to straighten out the mess that you are making. We will have to give up our vacations, our time spent with our children, any relaxation time we may have had and money we cannot afford to spend on bringing our concerns to Washington.
Our president often knows all the right buzzwords like unsustainable. Well, no kidding.. How many tens of thousands of dollars did the focus group cost to come up with that word? We don't want your overpriced words. Stop treating us like we're morons. We want all of you to stop focusing on your reelection and do the job we want done, not the job you want done or the job your party wants done. You work for us and at this rate I guarantee you not for long because we are coming. We will be heard and we will be represented..
You think we're so busy with our lives that we will never come for you? We are the formerly silent majority, all of us who quietly work, pay taxes, obey the law, vote, save money, keep our noses to the grindstone... and we are now looking at you.
You have awakened us the patriotic freedom spirit so strong and so powerful that had been sleeping too long. You have pushed us too far. Our numbers are great. They may surprise you. For every one of us who will be there, there will be hundreds more that could not come. Unlike you, we have their trust. We will represent them honestly, rest assured. They will be at the polls on voting day to usher you out of office. We have cancelled vacations. We will use our last few dollars saved. We will find the representation among us and a grassroots campaign will flourish.
We didn't ask for this fight. But the gloves are coming off. We do not come in violence, but we are angry. You will represent us or you will be replaced with someone who will. There are candidates among us who will rise like a Phoenix from the ashes that you have made of our constitution. Democrat, Republican, independent, libertarian. Understand this. We don't care. Political parties are meaningless to us. Patriotic Americans are willing to do right by us and our Constitution, and that is all that matters to us now..
We are going to fire all of you who abuse power and seek more. It is not your power. It is ours and we want it back. We entrusted you with it and you abused it. You are dishonorable. You are dishonest. As Americans we are ashamed of you. You have brought shame to us. If you are not representing the wants and needs of your constituency loudly and consistently, in spite of the objections of your party, you will be fired. Did you hear? We no longer care about your political parties. You need to be loyal to us, not to them.. Because we will get you fired and they will not save you.
If you do or can represent me, my issues, my views, please stand up. Make your identity known. You need to make some noise about it. Speak up. I need to know who you are. If you do not speak up, you will be herded out with the rest of the sheep and we will replace the whole damn congress if need be one by one. We are coming. Are we coming for you? Who do you represent?What do you represent? Listen. Because we are coming. We the people are coming."
May God Bless You All,

That's Life
My sermon today at TLBC was on "Sinking Sand". To see an outline of this message click here
Well, the Senate did the same thing to us that the House did. They pushed through what THEY wanted to do in spite of the input from us voters. What arrogance! Maybe they will begin to fight against each other now (house against the Senate) and the stupid mandatory public option for so-called health care (abortion is not health care) will fail. At any rate, as it stands now it looks like OUR only option is to vote the elitists out of office at the earliest opportunity. I for one VOW to never vote for ANYONE that voted to pass Obamacare. Will you take this pledge with me? Pass it on.
Subject: Life explained
On the first day, God created the dog and said: 'Sit all day by the door of your house and bark at anyone who comes in or walks past. For this, I will give you a life span of twenty years.' The dog said: 'That's a long time to be barking. How about only ten years and I'll give you back the other ten? So God agreed.
On the second day, God created the monkey and said: 'Entertain people, do tricks, and make them laugh. For this, I'll give you a twenty-year life span.' The monkey said: 'Monkey tricks for twenty years? That's a pretty long time to perform. How about I give you back ten like the Dog did?' And God agreed.
On the third day, God created the cow and said: 'You must go into the field with the farmer all day long and suffer under the sun, have calves and give milk to support the farmer's family. For this, I will give you a life span of sixty years.' The cow said: 'That's kind of a tough life you want me to live for sixty years. How about twenty and I'll give back the other forty?' And God agreed again.
On the fourth day, God created man and said: 'Eat, sleep, play, marry and enjoy your life. For this, I'll give you twenty years.' But man said: 'Only twenty years? Could you possibly give me my twenty, the forty the cow gave back, the ten the monkey gave back, and the ten the dog gave back; that makes eighty, okay?' Okay, I will give you back a life span of 80.
So that is why for our first twenty years we eat, sleep, play and enjoy ourselves. For the next forty years we slave in the sun to support our family. For the next ten years we do monkey tricks to entertain the grandchildren. And for the last ten years we sit on the front porch and bark at everyone. Life has now been explained to you. There is no need to thank me for this valuable information. I'm doing it as a public service.

Liberals gloating prematurely.
Here is a note from a grassroots movement in America about how the political cronies in DC are pushing through THEIR agenda in spite of massive protests from the voters all across the land of America.
===
Sen. Whitehouse (D-RI), believing victory is at hand, heaped burning coals on those opposed to ObamaCare. See below.
Sen. Whitehouse opened up his Senate floor speech spewing venom directed squarely at you and me! Quoting an article, which called those of us opposing the massive government takeover of our health care system the"lunatic fringe."
He took it a step further labeling us as "birthers, right-wing militias and Aryan groups. "With passage of ObamaCare perhaps imminent, Whitehouse feels emboldened, deciding it's ok to demonize the opposition --the American taxpayer, you and me!
By supporting a socialized health care bill fraught with earmarks, payoffs to Senators, aggressive Medicare cuts, massive tax increases, penalties and increased insurance premiums Whitehouse and others are putting their political heads on the chopping block…
Especially considering recent polling suggests a growing majority of Americans oppose ObamaCare. ++ "Let the Fax Blizzard Commence"!
After yesterday's message, tens of thousands of faxes were scheduled for delivery to Senate offices -- each one opposing every aspect of ObamaCare and those who support it's socialist intent. Now in the waning hours leading to this historic vote, I'm forecasting a deluge of faxes for EVERY Senate office on Capitol Hill!
Click here right now to schedule your faxes to the Senate:http://www.grassfire.net/r.asp?U=23793&CID=122&RID=21561478
Let's make sure that Whitehouse and every other Senator who supported ObamaCare knows that the "lunatic fringe" and the right-wing militia, birthers are weighing-in and holding each one accountable for this horrific bill.
Through our Faxfire fax system, you have the potential to impact EVERY SENATOR with a personal message -- prior to the final vote! I urge you to take action right now either using our custom fax delivery system or by downloading our fax letters and numbers to fax on your own.
Whatever method you choose, take action by clicking here now:http://www.grassfire.net/r.asp?U=23794&CID=122&RID=21561478
+ + Action #2: Call your two Senators
After scheduling your faxes, call your two Senators. When calling, consider using these talking points:
--Identify yourself and the state in which you live.
--Demand to see and read the bill before the final vote.
--Tell them you oppose ObamaCare and urge them to vote "NO".
--Express your outrage over the earmarks, the mandates, the oppressive taxes in the plan and the government takeover of yet another industry.
Finally, take a few additional moments to contact Sen. Whitehouse's office. I believe he needs to receive a greeting from thousands of us among the "lunatic fringe".
Senator Whitehouse: (202) 224-2921 Thank you for standing with GrassfireNation.

BOcare update
ALERT: Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid has won his second cloture vote on the ObamaCare bill, the "Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act" -- but the bill can STILL BE STOPPED!
The liberal Democrats snuck through the first vote on their socialist health care bill -- IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT, at 1:00 a.m. Monday. Then today -- in the early morning hours -- they held another cloture vote… and barely squeaked it through. If there had been just ONE Democrat willing to STOP this socialistic health care bill, it could have been stopped this morning -- but they have one more chance to do exactly that… on WEDNESDAY at 1:00 p.m. That means that TODAY, it's up to YOU AND ME to STOP the government takeover of health care in America -- before the next vote!
TELL THE SENATE TO REJECT SOCIALIZED HEALTHCARE -- BETTER KNOWN AS "OBAMACARE":SEND YOUR FAXES NOW!
For the past two weeks, we've been leading the efforts of our members to contact every single Senator, to DEMAND that they reject Harry Reid's socialistic ObamaCare bill -- and as a result, over THREE HUNDRED AND SEVENTY THOUSAND faxes have FLOODED those Senate offices EVERY SINGLE DAY! We've been able to keep the pressure on both Democrats and Republicans, letting them know that WE ARE WATCHING THEM and that we DEMAND they put a STOP to this radical monstrosity of a bill. And despite the fact that we lost the first votes, the good news is… we ARE having an effect on them, and WE CAN STILL DEFEAT THIS BILL!

twas the week B4 Xmas
'Twas the week before Christmas, when Congress met,
So eager they were, to pile on the debt;
They knew it was wrong, deep down in their core,
But golly gee whiz, they must spend, spend more;
With constituents distracted by holiday cheer,
Why, this was their chance, to spend more this year;
So the politicians huddled, they plotted, they planned,
$1 trillion, $2 trillion, how much could they scam?
And that’s when it happened, Reid and Pelosi stood up,
“What’s another $2 trillion, the voters are chumps!”
They raised the debt ceiling with nary a care,
And once that was done, they didn’t stop there;
More rapid than eagles, agendas were set,
They whistled and shouted, “No, we’re not done yet!”
“On health care, on taxes, on Carbon Cap-and-Trade,
“We’ll say it’s the rich, but everyone pays!”
“And for those who oppose us,” Reid and Pelosi insist,
“One call to the White House, you’re on the enemies list!”
And so they proceeded with their devilish plans,
Big government to all, constituents be damned.

Mal. 3:3
About 13 in church today. I preached on "Blessings of God Outweigh All Else". See the sermon outline on the front page of our church website. click here
===
Mal. 3:3 And he shall sit as a refiner and purifier of silver: and he shall purify the sons of Levi, and purge them as gold and silver, that they may offer unto the Lord an offering in righteousness.
This verse puzzled some women in a Bible study and they wondered what this statement meant about the character and nature of God. One of the women offered to find out the process of refining silver and get back to the group at their next Bible Study.
That week, the woman called a silversmith and made an appointment to watch him at work. She didn't mention anything about the reason for her interest beyond her curiosity about the process of refining silver. As she watched the silversmith, he held a piece of silver over the fire and let it heat up. He explained that in refining silver, one needed to hold the silver in the middle of the fire where the flames were hottest as to burn away all the mpurities.
The woman thought about God holding us in such a hot spot; then she thought again about the verse that says: "He sits as a refiner and purifier of silver." She asked the silversmith if it was true that he had to sit there in front of the fire the whole time the silver was being refined.
The man answered that yes, he not only had to sit there holding the silver, but he had to keep his eyes on the silver the entire time it was in the fire. If the silver was left a moment too long in the flames, it would be destroyed.
The woman was silent for a moment. Then she asked the silversmith, "How do you know when the silver is fully refined?" He smiled at her and answered, "Oh that's easy, when I see my image in it."
If today you are feeling the heat of the fire, remember that God has His eye on you and will keep watching you until He sees His image in you.
Pass this on. This very moment, someone may need to know that God is watching over them. And whatever they're going through, they'll be a better person in the end.
Life is like a coin. You can spend it anyway you wish, but you can only spend it once.

WE CAN STILL DEFEAT THIS BILL.
The bill pushed by Obama, and passed by leftist Democrats in the House, is NOT getting the full support of every Democrat in the U.S. Senate; and without all 60 of those votes, they will NOT be able to pass the NEXT cloture vote coming up soon... Which means that we can STILL defeat it there -- IF we can overwhelm every Senator with our demands to STOP it!
Harry Reid has now introduced what is called his “manager’s amendment” -- the “secret deal” that will serve as a substitute for the decoy that was the 2,074-page bill the Senate has been debating for the past three weeks. So is this bill any better?
NO IT STINKS:
The bill slashes hundreds of billions from Medicare to fund a new government program - cuts to hospitals, nursing homes, and hospices that care for our seniors – cuts that a pair of Senate Democrats voted repeatedly to reject.
The bill includes massive tax increases on American families and businesses at a time of double digit unemployment.
The bill breaks the President’s pledge that no American earning under $250,000 would see their taxes increase under this plan….a pledge that five Democrats voted to uphold just last Tuesday.
The bill allows for the funding of abortions, violating the longstanding policy of the Hyde amendment. The language is significantly weaker than Nelson-Stupak amendment which seven Senate Democrats and 64 House Democrats supported.
The bill includes a massive new entitlement -the CLASS Act - which the Democrat chairman of the Budget Committee described as a Ponzi scheme. A bipartisan majority (including 11 Democrats) voted to strike the CLASS Act -- and they should withhold their support.
The bill will impose massive burdens to many states at a time when states are already struggling. At the same time, it gives special treatment to a select few states, so that taxpayers in Virginia, Arkansas, and Ohio, will pay higher taxes to subsidize the Medicaid programs of favored few (Nebraska Massachusetts, and Vermont).
We MUST NOT lose this fight. Harry Reid STILL does not have all 60 votes he needs to enact cloture and force a vote on his bill -- but you can BET he’s doing everything he can to GET those final one or two! If we can STOP him from getting them -- that means THE BILL WOULD DIE! We CAN still win, by keeping the Democrats from getting the 60 votes they need on the next cloture vote, scheduled for MONDAY MORNING AT 1:00 AM... but we can't do it without YOUR help!
TELL THE SENATE TO REJECT SOCIALIZED HEALTH CAREBETTER KNOWN AS "OBAMACARE": SEND YOUR FAXES NOW!
TAKE ACTION: Here is the “Countdown To America’s Doom” that we MUST STOP:
-- MONDAY, DEC 21st -- 1 am -- Cloture vote on manager's amendment
(this is Reid’s “secret deal” that will serve as a substitute for the decoy that was the 2,074-page bill the Senate has been debating for the past three weeks)
--TUESDAY, DEC 22nd --7 am -- Cloture vote on full substitute bill
--WEDNESDAY, DEC 23rd -- 1 pm -- Cloture vote on overall bill
--THURSDAY, CHRISTMAS EVE -- 7 pm
-- Final passage vote on health care reform -- THEY ONLY NEED 51 VOTES TO PASS IT THEN!
DON’T GET DISCOURAGED --
Now they are after your retirement
Madam speaker Nancy Pelosi wants to put a Windfall Tax on all stock market profits (including Retirement fund, 401K and Mutual Funds!) Alas, it is true - all to help the 12 Million Illegal Immigrants and other unemployed Minorities!
She quotes...' We need to work toward the goal of equalizing income (didn't Marx say something like this?) in our country, and at the same time limiting the amount the rich can invest.' (I am not rich, are you?) When asked how these new tax dollars would be spent, she replied: 'We need to raise the standard of living of our poor, unemployed and minorities. For example, we have an estimated 12 million illegal immigrants in our country who need our help along with millions of unemployed minorities. Stock market windfall profits taxes could go a long way to guarantee these people the standard of living they would like to have as 'Americans'.' (Read that quote again and again and let it sink in.) 'Lower your retirement, give it to others who have not worked, as you have for it'.

God's word in English
In 2011 we will celebrate having God's word in the English language for 400 years.Alexander Scourby has a website that you might like to visit. He is known as "The Voice of the Bible". On his website there is a link for a free download of a 27 minute documentary on the history of the English Bible. It is worth the effort to get it and view it. Lord bless.

Pastor's friend
My sermon today was on "Joy in Trials". To see the outline click here
AFTER A FEW OF THE USUAL SUNDAY EVENING HYMNS, THE CHURCH'S PASTOR SLOWLY STOOD UP, WALKED OVER TO THE PULPIT AND, BEFORE HE GAVE HIS SERMON FOR THE EVENING, HE BRIEFLY INTRODUCED A GUEST MINISTER WHO WAS IN THE SERVICE THAT EVENING.
IN THE INTRODUCTION, THE PASTOR TOLD THE CONGREGATION THAT THE GUEST MINISTER WAS ONE OF HIS DEAREST CHILDHOOD FRIENDS AND THAT HE WANTED HIM TO HAVE A FEW MOMENTS TO GREET THE CHURCH AND SHARE WHATEVER HE FELT WOULD BE APPROPRIATE FOR THE SERVICE.
WITH THAT, AN ELDERLY MAN STEPPED UP TO THE PULPIT AND BEGAN TO SPEAK.
'A FATHER, HIS SON, AND A FRIEND OF HIS SON WERE SAILING OFF THE PACIFIC COAST,' HE BEGAN. WHEN A FAST APPROACHING STORM BLOCKED ANY ATTEMPT TO GET BACK TO THE SHORE. THE WAVES WERE SO HIGH, THAT EVEN THOUGH THE FATHER WAS AN EXPERIENCED SAILOR, HE COULD NOT KEEP THE BOAT UPRIGHT AND THE THREE WERE SWEPT INTO THE OCEAN AS THE BOAT CAPSIZED.'
THE OLD MAN HESITATED FOR A MOMENT, MAKING EYE CONTACT WITH TWO TEENAGERS WHO WERE, FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE THE SERVICE BEGAN, LOOKING SOMEWHAT INTERESTED IN HIS STORY.
THE AGED MINISTER CONTINUED WITH HIS STORY, 'GRABBING A RESCUE LINE, THE FATHER HAD TO MAKE THE MOST EXCRUCIATING DECISION OF HIS LIFE: TO WHICH BOY WOULD HE THROW THE OTHER END OF THE LIFE LINE. HE ONLY HAD SECONDS TO MAKE THE DECISION. THE FATHER KNEW THAT HIS SON WAS A CHRISTIAN AND HE, ALSO, KNEW THAT HIS SON'S FRIEND WAS NOT. THE AGONY OF HIS DECISION COULD NOT BE MATCHED BY THE TORRENT OF WAVES.
AS THE FATHER YELLED OUT, "I LOVE YOU, SON!" HE THREW OUT THE LIFE LINE TO HIS SON'S FRIEND. 'BY THE TIME THE FATHER HAD PULLED THE FRIEND BACK TO THE CAPSIZED BOAT, HIS SON HAD DISAPPEARED BENEATH THE RAGING SWELLS INTO THE BLACK OF NIGHT. HIS BODY WAS NEVER RECOVERED.'
BY THIS TIME, THE TWO TEENAGERS WERE SITTING UP STRAIGHT IN THE PEW, ANXIOUSLY WAITING FOR THE NEXT WORDS TO COME OUT OF THE OLD MINISTER'S MOUTH. 'THE FATHER,' HE CONTINUED, 'KNEW HIS SON WOULD STEP INTO ETERNITY WITH JESUS AND HE COULD NOT BEAR THE THOUGHT OF HIS SON'S FRIEND STEPPING INTO AN ETERNITY WITHOUT JESUS... THEREFORE, HE SACRIFICED HIS SON TO SAVE THE SON'S FRIEND.
'HOW GREAT IS THE LOVE OF GOD THAT HE SHOULD DO THE SAME FOR US. OUR HEAVENLY FATHER SACRIFICED HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON THAT WE COULD BE SAVED. I URGE YOU TO RECEIVE HIM. MAY HE RESCUE YOU. TAKE A HOLD OF THE LIFE LINE HE IS THROWING OUT TO YOU IN THIS SERVICE.' WITH THAT, THE OLD MAN TURNED AND SAT BACK DOWN IN HIS CHAIR AS SILENCE FILLED THE ROOM.
THE PASTOR AGAIN WALKED SLOWLY TO THE PULPIT AND DELIVERED A BRIEF SERMON WITH AN INVITATION AT THE END. HOWEVER, NO ONE RESPONDED TO THE APPEAL.
WITHIN MINUTES AFTER THE SERVICE ENDED, THE TWO TEENAGERS WERE AT THE OLD MAN'S SIDE.
'THAT WAS A NICE STORY,' POLITELY STATED ONE OF THEM,'BUT I DON'T THINK IT WAS VERY REALISTIC FOR A FATHER TO GIVE UP HIS ONLY SON'S LIFE IN HOPES THAT THE OTHER BOY WOULD BECOME A CHRISTIAN.'
'WELL, YOU'VE GOT A POINT THERE,' THE OLD MAN REPLIED, GLANCING DOWN AT HIS WORN BIBLE. A BIG SMILE BROADENED HIS NARROW FACE. HE ONCE AGAIN LOOKED UP AT THE BOYS AND SAID, 'IT SURE ISN'T VERY REALISTIC, IS IT? BUT, I'M STANDING HERE TODAY TO TELL YOU THAT STORY GIVES ME A GLIMPSE OF WHAT IT MUST HAVE BEEN LIKE FOR GOD TO GIVE UP HIS SON FOR ME. YOU SEE, IT IS A TUE STORY AND...
'I WAS THAT FATHER AND YOUR PASTOR IS MY SON'S FRIEND.'

Navy Seals
"The Navy Seals facing court martial for the alleged abuse of a terror suspect arrested for killing four Americans face up to a year in military confinement, discharge for bad conduct, and forfeiture of two-thirds of their pay for a year....effectively ending their careers" (CNSNews.com 12/05/09)
"Public Support for Navy SEALs Won't Sway Court Proceedings....Once a Court Martial begins, the SEALs' fate will likely be sealed....Attorneys said the only way to stop it is for the charges to be dropped before the January 19th proceeding." (Richmond Times-Dispatch 12/09/09)
We have a month. ONE MONTH to stop this madness. We have heard it from military experts, from Congressmen, from Vets, from lawyers for the SEALs: Once the Court Martial begins on January 19th, public pressure will be ignored. The military is famous for disregarding such pressure in the courts.
But these experts have told us one important fact: Public pressure DOES effect whether charges are DROPPED. It has prevailed before, and MUST happen here to halt this indignity against our heroes who captured this terrorist monster in a heroic operation.
WE HAVE ONE MONTH to let the American people know about this outrage. Please help us run TV ads to get the word out to help stop it before January 19.
What Happened
Three brave Navy SEALs who captured the most wanted terrorist in Iraq on September 3rd, 2009 are being charged with assault because that same terrorist--who planned the savage murders of 4 Americans in 2004--claimed they gave him a "bloody lip", despite no physical evidence to support his claim. Two of the SEALs were arraigned on December 7th (the anniversary of Pearl Harbor, to add insult to injury). The Court Martial has been set for the January 19, 2010.
This same terrorist, Ahmed Hashim Abed, and his followers killed 4 American bodyguards, burning three of them alive, dragged their bodies through the streets, and hung them from a bridge over the Euphrates River. It was a horrific crime. And these SEALs risked life and limb to bring him in after 5 years on the run. Yet now the politically-correct military is prosecuting the very men who captured him, because he said they gave him a BLOODY LIP? Why is the military taking the word of a murdering terrorist over our brave fighting men?
Court Martial. Careers destroyed. Reputations tarnished forever. And all on the word of a murdering terrorist? All for the sake of political correctness? This cannot be permitted to go any further. We must stop this Court Martial before it begins--NOW.

A Civil Debate
We had a good FFF (1st Fri. Fellowship) at TLBC and great services today. James Tweet preached Friday on "My Lord and My God". My sermon today was on "The God of all Comfort". See outline HERE. Pray for my sister-in-law Evelyn. She and her husband Gary were at the beach last Friday clam digging and Gary had a heart attack and died. Evie wants me to preach the funeral next Saturday.
A civil debate:
As the bell rings to begin class, a Professor walks around his desk. He pauses before his class and then asks one of his new students to stand.
Professor: "You're a Christian, aren't you, son?"
Michael: "Yes sir."
Professor: "So you believe in God?"
Michael: "Absolutely."
Professor: "Is God good?"
Michael: "Sure! God's good."
Professor: "Is God all-powerful? Can God do anything?"
Michael: "Yes."
Professor: "Are you good or evil?"
Michael: "The Bible says I'm evil."
The Professor, grinning: "Aha! The Bible!" The Professor paces back and forth.
Professor: "Here's one for you. Let's say there's a sick person over here and you can cure him. You can do it. Would you help him? Would you try?"
Michael: "Yes sir, I would."
Professor: "So you're good...!"
Michael interrupts: "I wouldn't say that."
Professor: "But why not say that? You'd help a sick and maimed person if you could. Most of us would if we could. But God doesn't."
Michael just looks at the professor blankly.
Professor: "He doesn't, does he? My brother was a Christian who died of cancer, even though he prayed to Jesus to heal him. How is this Jesus good? Hmmm? Can you answer that one?" Michael remains silent.
Professor: "No, you can't, can you?" The Professor takes a sip of water from a glass on his desk to give the student time to relax.
Professor: "Let's start again, young fella. Is God good?"
Michael, hesitantly: "Er...yes."
Professor: "Is Satan good?"
Michael, without hesitation: "No."
Professor: "Then where does Satan come from?"
Michael, feeling awkward: "From God."
Professor: "That's right. God made Satan, didn't he? Tell me, son. Is there evil in this world?" Michael: "Yes, sir."
Professor: "Evil's everywhere, isn't it? And God did make everything, correct?"
Michael: "Yes."
Professor: "So who created evil? If God created everything, then God created evil, since evil exists, and according to the principle that our works define who we are, then God is evil." Michael just stares at the professor with no expression.
Professor: "Is there sickness? Immorality? Hatred? Ugliness? All these terrible things, do they exist in this world?"
Michael, looking down at his feet: "Yes."
Professor: "So who created them?" Michael does not answer.
Professor: "Who created them?"
Michael still will not answer. Suddenly the lecturer breaks away to pace in front of the classroom in front of another student. The class is mesmerized.
Professor: "Tell me; do you believe in Jesus Christ, son?"
William: "Yes, professor, I do."
Professor, as he stops pacing: "Science says you have five senses you use to identify and observe the world around you. Have you ever seen Jesus?"
William: "No sir. I've never seen Him."
Professor: "Then tell us if you've ever heard your Jesus?"
William: "No, sir, I have not."
Professor: "Have you ever felt your Jesus, tasted your Jesus or smelt your Jesus? Have you ever had any sensory perception of Jesus Christ, or God for that matter?"
William: "No, sir, I'm afraid I haven't."
Professor: "Yet you still believe in him?"
William: "Yes."
Professor: "According to the rules of empirical, testable, demonstrable protocol, science says your God doesn't exist. What do you say to that, son?"
William: "Nothing. I only have my faith."
Professor: "Yes, faith; and that is the problem science has with God. There is no evidence, only faith." Suddenly, another student in the back of the room stands quietly for a moment, until the professor looks in her direction.
Professor: Yes, Ashley. You have something to add to the discussion?
Ashley: "Professor, is there such thing as heat?"
Professor: "Yes. There is heat."
Ashley: "And is there such a thing as cold?"
Professor: "Yes, there is cold too."
Ashley: "No sir, there isn't." The professor turns to face the student, obviously interested. The room suddenly becomes very quiet.
Ashley: "You can have lots of heat, even more heat, super-heat, mega-heat, unlimited heat, white heat, a little heat or no heat, but we don't have anything called 'cold'. We can hit up to -458 degrees below zero Fahrenheit, which is no heat, but we can't go any further after that. There is no such thing as cold; otherwise we would be able to go colder than the lowest -458 degrees. Every body or object is susceptible to study when it has or transmits energy, and heat is what makes a body or matter have or transmit energy. Absolute zero (-458 F) is the total absence of heat. You see, sir, cold is only a word we use to describe the absence of heat. We cannot measure cold. Heat we can measure in thermal units because heat is energy. Cold is not the opposite of heat, sir, just the absence of it." Silence across the room. A pen drops somewhere in the classroom, sounding like a hammer.
Ashley: "What about darkness, professor? Is there such a thing as darkness?"
Professor, without hesitation: "Yes, what is night if it isn't darkness?"
Ashley: "Again, that is inaccurate, sir. Darkness is not something; it is the absence of something. You can have low light, normal light, bright light, flashing light, but if you have no light constantly you have nothing and it's called darkness, isn't it? That's the meaning we use to define the word. In reality, darkness isn't. If it were, you would be able to make darkness darker, wouldn't you?" The professor begins to smile at the student in front of him. This will be a very interesting semester.
Professor: "So what point are you making, young lady?"
Ashley: "Yes, professor. My point is, your philosophical premise is flawed to start with, and so your conclusion must also be flawed." The professor's face cannot hide his surprise this time. Professor: "Flawed? Can you explain how?"
Ashley: "You are working on the premise of duality. You argue that there is life and then there is death; a good God and a bad God. You are viewing the concept of God as something finite, something we can measure. Sir, science can not even explain a thought. It uses electricity and magnetism, but has never been seen, much less fully understood; either one. To view death as the opposite of life is to be ignorant of the fact that death cannot exist as a substantive thing. Death is not the opposite of life, just the absence of it." The professor looks stunned.
Ashley: "Now tell me, professor. Do you teach your students that they evolved from a monkey?" Professor: "If you are referring to the natural evolutionary process, young lady, yes, of course I do."
Ashley: "Have you ever observed evolution with your own eyes, sir?" The professor begins to shake his head, still smiling, as he realizes where the argument is going. A very good semester, indeed.
Ashley: "Since no one has ever observed the process of evolution at work and can not even prove that this process is an on-going endeavor, are you not teaching your opinion, sir? Are you now not a scientist, but a preacher?" The class is in uproar. Ashley remains silent until the commotion has subsided.
Ashley: "To continue the point you were making earlier to the other student, let me give you an example of what I mean." The student looks around the room. "Is there anyone in the class who has ever seen the professor's brain?" The class breaks out into laughter.
Ashley: "Is there anyone here who has ever heard the professor's brain, felt the professor's brain, touched or smelt the professor's brain? No one appears to have done so. So, according to the established rules of empirical, stable, demonstrable protocol, science says that you have no brain, with all due respect, sir. So if science says you have no brain, how can we trust your lectures, sir?" Now the room is silent. The professor just stares at the student, his face unreadable. It certainly feels like an eternity before the professor finally speaks.
Professor: "I guess you'll have to take them on faith."
Ashley: "Now, you accept that there is faith, and, in fact, faith exists with life. Now, sir, is there such a thing as evil?"
Professor, now seeming a bit uncertain: "Of course, there is. We see it everyday. It is in the daily example of man's inhumanity to man. It is in the multitude of crime and violence everywhere in the world. These manifestations are nothing else but evil."
Ashley: "Evil does not exist sir, or at least it does not exist unto itself. Evil is simply the absence of God. It is just like darkness and cold, a word that man has created to describe the absence of God. God did not create evil. Evil is the result of what happens when man does not have God's love present in his heart. It's like the cold that comes when there is no heat or the darkness that comes when there is no light."
The professor sits down at his desk, obviously in deep thought.
This is a similar transcript to a discussion that actually occurred in a Philosophy classroom in America. The professor is now a Christian. Michael went on to become a philosophy professor, a Christian one. William became a pastor. Ashley became a biological engineer.
A civil debate:
As the bell rings to begin class, a Professor walks around his desk. He pauses before his class and then asks one of his new students to stand.
Professor: "You're a Christian, aren't you, son?"
Michael: "Yes sir."
Professor: "So you believe in God?"
Michael: "Absolutely."
Professor: "Is God good?"
Michael: "Sure! God's good."
Professor: "Is God all-powerful? Can God do anything?"
Michael: "Yes."
Professor: "Are you good or evil?"
Michael: "The Bible says I'm evil."
The Professor, grinning: "Aha! The Bible!" The Professor paces back and forth.
Professor: "Here's one for you. Let's say there's a sick person over here and you can cure him. You can do it. Would you help him? Would you try?"
Michael: "Yes sir, I would."
Professor: "So you're good...!"
Michael interrupts: "I wouldn't say that."
Professor: "But why not say that? You'd help a sick and maimed person if you could. Most of us would if we could. But God doesn't."
Michael just looks at the professor blankly.
Professor: "He doesn't, does he? My brother was a Christian who died of cancer, even though he prayed to Jesus to heal him. How is this Jesus good? Hmmm? Can you answer that one?" Michael remains silent.
Professor: "No, you can't, can you?" The Professor takes a sip of water from a glass on his desk to give the student time to relax.
Professor: "Let's start again, young fella. Is God good?"
Michael, hesitantly: "Er...yes."
Professor: "Is Satan good?"
Michael, without hesitation: "No."
Professor: "Then where does Satan come from?"
Michael, feeling awkward: "From God."
Professor: "That's right. God made Satan, didn't he? Tell me, son. Is there evil in this world?" Michael: "Yes, sir."
Professor: "Evil's everywhere, isn't it? And God did make everything, correct?"
Michael: "Yes."
Professor: "So who created evil? If God created everything, then God created evil, since evil exists, and according to the principle that our works define who we are, then God is evil." Michael just stares at the professor with no expression.
Professor: "Is there sickness? Immorality? Hatred? Ugliness? All these terrible things, do they exist in this world?"
Michael, looking down at his feet: "Yes."
Professor: "So who created them?" Michael does not answer.
Professor: "Who created them?"
Michael still will not answer. Suddenly the lecturer breaks away to pace in front of the classroom in front of another student. The class is mesmerized.
Professor: "Tell me; do you believe in Jesus Christ, son?"
William: "Yes, professor, I do."
Professor, as he stops pacing: "Science says you have five senses you use to identify and observe the world around you. Have you ever seen Jesus?"
William: "No sir. I've never seen Him."
Professor: "Then tell us if you've ever heard your Jesus?"
William: "No, sir, I have not."
Professor: "Have you ever felt your Jesus, tasted your Jesus or smelt your Jesus? Have you ever had any sensory perception of Jesus Christ, or God for that matter?"
William: "No, sir, I'm afraid I haven't."
Professor: "Yet you still believe in him?"
William: "Yes."
Professor: "According to the rules of empirical, testable, demonstrable protocol, science says your God doesn't exist. What do you say to that, son?"
William: "Nothing. I only have my faith."
Professor: "Yes, faith; and that is the problem science has with God. There is no evidence, only faith." Suddenly, another student in the back of the room stands quietly for a moment, until the professor looks in her direction.
Professor: Yes, Ashley. You have something to add to the discussion?
Ashley: "Professor, is there such thing as heat?"
Professor: "Yes. There is heat."
Ashley: "And is there such a thing as cold?"
Professor: "Yes, there is cold too."
Ashley: "No sir, there isn't." The professor turns to face the student, obviously interested. The room suddenly becomes very quiet.
Ashley: "You can have lots of heat, even more heat, super-heat, mega-heat, unlimited heat, white heat, a little heat or no heat, but we don't have anything called 'cold'. We can hit up to -458 degrees below zero Fahrenheit, which is no heat, but we can't go any further after that. There is no such thing as cold; otherwise we would be able to go colder than the lowest -458 degrees. Every body or object is susceptible to study when it has or transmits energy, and heat is what makes a body or matter have or transmit energy. Absolute zero (-458 F) is the total absence of heat. You see, sir, cold is only a word we use to describe the absence of heat. We cannot measure cold. Heat we can measure in thermal units because heat is energy. Cold is not the opposite of heat, sir, just the absence of it." Silence across the room. A pen drops somewhere in the classroom, sounding like a hammer.
Ashley: "What about darkness, professor? Is there such a thing as darkness?"
Professor, without hesitation: "Yes, what is night if it isn't darkness?"
Ashley: "Again, that is inaccurate, sir. Darkness is not something; it is the absence of something. You can have low light, normal light, bright light, flashing light, but if you have no light constantly you have nothing and it's called darkness, isn't it? That's the meaning we use to define the word. In reality, darkness isn't. If it were, you would be able to make darkness darker, wouldn't you?" The professor begins to smile at the student in front of him. This will be a very interesting semester.
Professor: "So what point are you making, young lady?"
Ashley: "Yes, professor. My point is, your philosophical premise is flawed to start with, and so your conclusion must also be flawed." The professor's face cannot hide his surprise this time. Professor: "Flawed? Can you explain how?"
Ashley: "You are working on the premise of duality. You argue that there is life and then there is death; a good God and a bad God. You are viewing the concept of God as something finite, something we can measure. Sir, science can not even explain a thought. It uses electricity and magnetism, but has never been seen, much less fully understood; either one. To view death as the opposite of life is to be ignorant of the fact that death cannot exist as a substantive thing. Death is not the opposite of life, just the absence of it." The professor looks stunned.
