A DRAMATIC SURPRISE ON A QUIET SQUARE

UNBELIEVABLE!!!! To say one thing but to do another…there’s a word for that.
Surprising report by Diane Sawyer. Don’t usually hear negative things from the major networks.
SHOCKING ABC News on Obama/USA Infrastructure
Diane Sawyer reporting on U.S. bridge projects going to the Chinese…. NOT Americans.
The bridges are right here in the U.S. and yet Obama has approved for Chinese contractors to come in and do the work. What about jobs for Americans???
Watch this video. It doesn’t take long to view.
This one should be tough for the supporters of the current regime to swallow….AND it comes from ABC NEWS…no Snopes or Wikileaks on this one!!
The lead-in with Obama promising jobs in the U.S. by improving our infrastructure is so typical of all his promises! Our tax dollars are at work – for CHINA!!!
I pray all the unemployed see this and cast their votes accordingly in 2012!

Great News for Americans. Why? One clown says “Not enough welders are avialable.” Gee I wonder why, maybe they have all been retrained to work at McDonalds.

More of what turns one’s stomach. Oh well just another round of Pepto (dismal)bismal.

Will We Ever Learn?
Empires Then and Now
Paul Craig Roberts
Great empires, such as the Roman and British, were extractive. The empires succeeded, because the value of the resources and wealth extracted from conquered lands exceeded the value of conquest and governance. The reason Rome did not extend its empire east into Germany was not the military prowess of Germanic tribes but Rome’s calculation that the cost of conquest exceeded the value of extractable resources.
The Roman empire failed, because Romans exhausted manpower and resources in civil wars fighting amongst themselves for power. The British empire failed, because the British exhausted themselves fighting Germany in two world wars.
In his book, The Rule of Empires (2010), Timothy H. Parsons replaces the myth of the civilizing empire with the truth of the extractive empire. He describes the successes of the Romans, the Umayyad Caliphate, the Spanish in Peru, Napoleon in Italy, and the British in India and Kenya in extracting resources. To lower the cost of governing Kenya, the British instigated tribal consciousness and invented tribal customs that worked to British advantage.
Parsons does not examine the American empire, but in his introduction to the book he wonders whether America’s empire is really an empire as the Americans don’t seem to get any extractive benefits from it. After eight years of war and attempted occupation of Iraq, all Washington has for its efforts is several trillion dollars of additional debt and no Iraqi oil. After ten years of trillion dollar struggle against the Taliban in Afghanistan, Washington has nothing to show for it except possibly some part of the drug trade that can be used to fund covert CIA operations.

America’s wars are very expensive. Bush and Obama have doubled the national debt, and the American people have no benefits from it. No riches, no bread and circuses flow to Americans from Washington’s wars. So what is it all about?
The answer is that Washington’s empire extracts resources from the American people for the benefit of the few powerful interest groups that rule America. The military-security complex, Wall Street, agri-business and the Israel Lobby use the government to extract resources from Americans to serve their profits and power. The US Constitution has been extracted in the interests of the Security State, and Americans’ incomes have been redirected to the pockets of the 1 percent. That is how the American Empire functions.
The New Empire is different. It happens without achieving conquest. The American military did not conquer Iraq and has been forced out politically by the puppet government that Washington established. There is no victory in Afghanistan, and after a decade the American military does not control the country.
In the New Empire success at war no longer matters. The extraction takes place by being at war. Huge sums of American taxpayers’ money have flowed into the American armaments industries and huge amounts of power into Homeland Security. The American empire works by stripping Americans of wealth and liberty.
This is why the wars cannot end, or if one does end another starts. Remember when Obama came into office and was asked what the US mission was in Afghanistan? He replied that he did not know what the mission was and that the mission needed to be defined.
Obama never defined the mission. He renewed the Afghan war without telling us its purpose. Obama cannot tell Americans that the purpose of the war is to build the power and profit of the military/security complex at the expense of American citizens.
This truth doesn’t mean that the objects of American military aggression have escaped without cost. Large numbers of Muslims have been bombed and murdered and their economies and infrastructure ruined, but not in order to extract resources from them.
It is ironic that under the New Empire the citizens of the empire are extracted of their wealth and liberty in order to extract lives from the targeted foreign populations. Just like the bombed and murdered Muslims, the American people are victims of the American empire.

Outreach to Ak-Chin

The outreach to Ak-Chin community on Saturday March the 10th went off with a great welcome from the community. The event had great praise, worship, testimonies and preaching from Rodger and Leo. Hamburgers, hot dogs, beans,chips, brownies and drinks were offered. Later in the day a new bicycle was raffled off.

All in all a great time was had by all.

Harvest Heartbeat is having an outreach on Saturday March 10th begginning at high noon at Ak-Chin Community park.  In case you are wondering what Ak-Chin translates into in English;it means “Where the water loses itself.”

 There will be a live band from Skyway Church, Hot dogs, Hamburgers, chips, soda and water for all. The praise and worship will be awesome. The park is located in the town of Maricopa directly west of the Ak-Chin Casino about 1 mile. Just listen for the bank as they crankit up!

 So come on out if you are in a mood to drive a little and join in the fun.

India (MNN) ― Prostitution is a serious problem in India, especially among the poor. But there is a branch of the profession hidden deeper underground with an even darker side to it.
Temple prostitution was banned in India 30 years ago, but that doesn’t mean it has gone away, reports the International Mission Board. The practice, called devadasi, continues to exploit women who were thrown away as infants.
Devadasi is mostly a last resort for desperate parents seeking the favor of the gods. Poor families will dedicate their daughters to the goddess Yellamma with the hope that she will bring favor to them. For starving families hindered by the financial burden of a newborn daughter, this may appear to be the best option.
Devadasi literally means “god’s female servant.” The women certainly are servants but typically know nothing of the One True God. When a girl is dedicated, she is considered to be married to the goddess and can never marry a man. When she reaches physical maturity, she is forced to live as a prostitute.
“From the very beginning, they’re being exploited as babies,” a humanitarian aid worker in India explained to IMB. “Then when they hit maturity, their bodies are exploited by men. Even when their bodies are no longer desirable to men, they are still exploited and abused because that stigma is on them. They can never escape from it. It’s a trap that they’re stuck in; it’s a living hell that they’re experiencing.”
This has been practiced in the open for more than 5,000 years. Because devadasi has been forced underground now, however, women work mainly from their homes. Many are trafficked to the red light districts of major cities like Mumbai and Bangalore.
The effects are still the same: women are thrown away and they know it.
“Our parents gave us birth and threw us on the street. Men come and use us, finish their job, and go,” one former devadasis–now being supported by an NGO–told IMB.
Estimates range from tens to hundreds of thousands of devadasi in India. For most, it’s a hopeless existence. But some faithful and persistent believers are dedicated to sharing with these daughters of God how precious they are in their Father’s sight.
A devadasis who discovers a relationship with Christ becomes a powerful witness in her community, according to one Christian worker. These new lives in Christ become witnesses against the practice that enslaved them and for the Savior who set them free. The worker describes it like the woman at the well who, once she realizes she’s talking to Jesus, goes out telling all other women about Him.
Many Christian workers are sharing the Gospel message with these victimized women, equipping them, empowering them, mentoring them, training them and discipling them. They are bringing light to souls that have known only darkness their entire lives.

Medal Of Honor – Man of Honor

The second living recipient of the
Congressional Medal of Honor for the current wars being waged was honored
yesterday at the White House.

The Medal of Honor is the highest award for valor in action against an enemy
force which can be bestowed upon an individual serving in the Armed Services of
the United States. Generally presented to its recipient by the President of the
United States of America in the name of Congress.

For the military community — it is hard to explain how we feel and how we hope the rest of the country feels about
the holders of the Congressional Medal of Honor. This is the ultimate honor
awarded to a military servicemember. Medal of Honor recipients (they are notreferred to as “winning” this medal) are the bravest of the brave. The Medal of Honor is awarded to those men (and one woman at Bull Run) who put their fellow servicemember’s lives before their own; they are the men who perform acts of
heroism that are beyond the imagination of most of us.

As President Obama said during the award ceremony: Every human impulse would tell
someone to turn away. Every soldier is trained to seek cover. That’s what
Sergeant Leroy Petry could have done. Instead, this wounded Ranger, this
28-year-old man with his whole life ahead of him, this husband and father of
four, did something extraordinary. He lunged forward, toward the live grenade.
He picked it up. He cocked his arm to throw it back.

What compels such courage? What leads a person to risk everything so that others might live? For answers, we
don’t need to look far. The roots of Leroy’s valor are all around us.

The latest recipient, SFC Leroy Petry was awarded the Medal for saving the lives of the Rangers he was serving
with. During an operation in Paktya Province in 2008, he was wounded in both legs as was another Ranger. He radioed in the situation. A grenade exploded, wounding two other Rangers, and when another grenade landed in the courtyard, SFC Petry picked it up to throw it away from the men. As he did so, the grenade
blew his right hand off and inflicted a lot of damage to the rest of his body.
Here’s his version of his story, as told to NBC. He tied a tourniquet around his
own arm, radioed to coordinate support, and told the medics what they should do
for his wounds when they arrived.

After being treated at Brooke Army
Medical Center and learning how to use his new prosthetic, with the support of
his wife Ashley and 4 children (one of whom calls his stump Nubby)
SFC Petry put that prosthetic hand into the air and re-enlisted. On that
prosthesis — is a plaque with all the names of the 2/75 Rangers who have died.

He went back to Afghanistan on his eighth
deployment last year.

This is the type of person to whom
the country awards The Congressional Medal of Honor — a man who thought of
others more than himself; a man who continues to serve his country; a man who
has said that he wants to help others.

In his words, “If I can’t go to the fight, I can help the men who are wounded, injured or ill.”

He is currently working at the liaison office for the US Special Operations Command Care Coalition,- Northwest
Region. This is where he helps the wounded and their families He shows them
life can go on and helps them deal with their wounds and the alteration of their lives. SFC Petry continues to show us his determination, his courage and his dedication to others, those attributes that make him the man that was
awarded this highest medal our country can bestow.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Blessings to all our men and women in the armed forces who are fighting to keep our country save from our enemies. May God watch over you and keep you safe from harm. Our prayers are with you today and always.
Thanks to all of our U.S.A. Patriots who are working day and night to keep our Republic a democracy that is safe from those who wish to destroy us, take away our liberties, remove our freedoms, rewrite our history, negate or diminish the importance of our cherished traditions, and silence our opposition to their anti- American ideology. Remember, Our God is stronger and mightier than their no god.

 By the way, We Aren’t Pardoning This Turkey!

Behold, The Pale Horse!

Now, I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals; and I heard one of the four living creatures saying with a voice like thunder, “Come and see.” And I looked, and behold, a white horse. He who sat on it had a bow; and a crown was given to him, and he went out conquering and to conquer.
When He opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature saying “Come and see.” Another horse, fiery red, went out. And it was granted to the one who sat on it to take peace from the earth, and that people should kill one another; and there was given to him a great sword.

When He opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature say, “Come and see.” So I looked, and behold, a black horse, and he who sat on it had a pair of scales in his hand.

And I heard a voice in the midst of the four living creatures saying, “A quart of wheat for a denarius, and three quarts of barley for a denarius, and do not harm the oil and wine.”

When He opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature saying, “Come and see.” So I looked, and behold, a pale horse. And the name of him who sat on it was Death, and Hades followed with him. And power was given to them over a fourth of the earth, to kill with sword, with hunger, with death, and by the beasts of the earth.Revelation 6:1-8

‘Nice’ Christian Boys and Girls Make Me Sick…
Fri, Sep. 30, 2011 Posted: 02:57 PM EDT
By Perry Noble

WARNING: The following post IS graphic…I use some language that may be considered offensive by some. This is NOT an apology…just wanted you to know!
I had the privilege of speaking at Clemson’s FCA the other night and I felt led to go in a direction towards the beginning of the message that I hadn’t planned on…and so I want to expound a little on a few things here.
I said, “My daughter is going to date one day…and the last thing I want her bringing home to meet me is a ‘nice Christian boy.’ If she does that I will probably have to punch that dude in the throat!”
Why? Simple – nice Christian boys are one of the reasons Christianity is not advancing the way Jesus has called us to. Why? Because a “nice” Christian boy will go to church, Bible study, raise his hands in worship and then go back to wherever he lives, sit at his computer look at porn and masturbate. And “boys,” it’s incredibly difficult to lead the charge against the gates of hell with your pants around your ankles. (Uh…this isn’t just college students – some married men are struggling with this as well! AND let me say I’ve struggled with this and the Lord delivered me from it seven and a half years ago!)
(YES…I said that word – and if it ticks you off then I invite you to get your head out of the sand and face reality…in fact, I did an entire post on the subject of masturbation…you can read it here!)
And the LAST thing I want my daughter growing up to be is a “nice” Christian girl. Why? Because these are the girls who WILL NOT necessarily have sex with a guy…but are not afraid to have oral sex and then justify their actions by saying, “well…we didn’t ‘do it!’”
We don’t need anymore “nice” Christian boys and girls…we need men and women who are madly and passionately in love with Jesus…who have a Philippians 3:10-11 mindset, who take Hebrews 12:2 view in life, who realize Philippians 2:5-11 was the BOLDEST move ever made and who want Matthew 22:36-40 to be true in their own lives.
Someone who is in love with Jesus just doesn’t care – they do not care if they are single, they want what Jesus wants for them. They do not care what people think about the type of house they live in or the kind of car they drive…they just want to see Jesus lifted up – even if that means sacrifice. They do not care if they are blogged about and/or ridiculed–they want to know Christ more and more and are willing to do ANYTHING He asks them to do.
One of the clearest marks of a disciple in Scripture is OBEDIENCE to Jesus. (John 14:15) We can have all of the knowledge in the world–but information without application is degradation! The Bible says in Psalm 95:7-8 that if we hear His voice that we should NOT harden our hearts.
Question: is there anything that God is calling you to do? Anything you need to stop doing? Anything you need to start doing? What is it that is going to take you from being a “nice” follower of Jesus to becoming someone who is radically in love with Him?
We all fight this battle…I know I have. In the past I have overcame a pornography addiction AND also an addiction to reading what was said about me on the internet, whether good or bad. WHICH God revealed to me was actually pride–the sin that got satan kicked out of heaven! AND I am constantly fighting daily to do what Philippians 4:8 and Colossians 3:2 says to do!
BUT–the LAST thing I ever want to be is a “nice” Christian man…I want to be a fully devoted FOLLOWER of Jesus Christ…the term Christian today has been so neutered! I don’t even like it anymore. (Stay calm…the term Christian is only used three times in the New Testament.) I’ve been that “nice Christian guy” in the past–but I want MORE…I want to see John 3:30 come true in my life!!!
What term do I like? JESUS LOVER! I want to be known as a Jesus lover…someone who is passionate about JESUS! My wife needs me to be in love with Jesus. My daughter needs me to be in love with Jesus. NewSpring needs me to be in love with Jesus. WHY? Because when I love Jesus I will do what He says…and that is NEVER a bad thing!
“Nice” Christian boys and girls will not change this world…EVER…all they do is put on a good front and then “live like hell” and think that no one sees. (I Samuel 16:7) BUT JESUS LOVERS…they are “all in!” Do they make mistakes? HECK YES! BUT…when they do so they ask for forgiveness, REPENT and then move on.
My passion is to raise up a church full of men and women who love Jesus…who don’t just play games but go all out to do whatever He asks. I am trying my best to do this…will you join with me? Let’s REALLY commit to knowing Christ and allowing HIM to be known through us…and let’s turn this world upside down for Him! He did it with some guys in the Gospels…I’m crazy enough to think He can do it again!

Giant Humans and Dinosaurs

This petrified finger
found in cretaceous limestone, belonged to a “prehistoric” human.
Broken short of the middle joint, it measures 7.6 cm (3 inches). At full length
it would measure about 15 cm (6 inches). In the photo, it is compared to a
regular full-length finger. Excavations of this limestone has also revealed a
child’s tooth and human hair.

Sectioning reveals the typical porous bone structure expected in a human
finger. Cat-scan and MRI identified joints and traced tendons throughout the
length of the fossil.

Cat-scan shows
dark areas interpreted as the interior of bones and marrow. Areas less dense
than surrounding stones, easily pass X-rays, causing darkening of the image.
Black area is caused by sectioning.

This dinosaur
footprint in cretaceous limestone on the banks of the Paluxy River is
approximately 30 cm (one foot) across, and located with similar tracks. Early
excavations in this area revealed human footprints inside
the dinosaur tracks leading to rumors that the human prints had claws–later
excavations uncovered human footprints up to 64 cm long (25 inches) next to the
dinosaur prints—this discounted the doubters. A human handprint was also found.
This confirms that dinosaurs occupied the arbitrary and spurious
“cretaceous” period of geological history. Human prints contemporary
with dinosaurs contradict modern evolution theories because mankind was not to
evolve for another 75 to 100 million years.

This 140-pound
stone was recovered in July 2000 from the bank of a creek that feeds the Paluxy
River near Glen Rose, 53 miles south of Fort Worth, Texas. The impressions show
the dinosaur passed along the track after the human, indicating man and
dinosaur co-existed. The fossil may be viewed in Dr. Carl Baugh’s Creation
Evidence Museum. This
giant footprint contemporary with dinosaurs was also found in Dinosaur Park at Glen Rose. Pictured
with my foot, it exceeds 45 cm (18 inches) in length. The cross-sectional cuts
determined by compression studies that it was a woman’s footprint. Estimates
indicate her stature approximately 305 cm (10 feet) and 454 kg (1,000 lbs).
Several strata of human prints with dinosaur prints have been excavated in this
park. According to Dr. Carl Baugh, the archeologist who coordinated the
excavations, these strata were laid down during the first few days of Noah’s
flood when water levels were low enough to allow daily tidal changes to form
layers of mud so fleeing creatures could seek higher ground— the upper strata
showed no prints.

Obviously the people who lived contemporary with dinosaurs were intelligent,
and the footprints indicate that they were quite human, as the large toe on
primates is located close to the heel to facilitate clinging to branches.

Dr. Hilton Hinderliter of Apollo Campus Pennsylvania. State University, studied
the evidence presented at the Glen Rose, who excavations and stated:
“I would have to say that the belief in evolution is in a state of
terminal illness but its death will only be admitted by a new generation of
scientists whose minds have not been prejudiced by the type of education now
prevalent in the nation’s public schools, an education which starts with the
belief that evolution has happened, which interprets all evidence according to
that faith and simply discards any evidence which cannot be fitted into the
evolutionary framework” (Quoted from “Dinosaurs” by Dr. Carl E.
Baugh, 1987. Promise Publishing Co., Orange, CA 92667).

This
interesting photograph is of a hammer found in similar strata. It’s iron head
and wooden handle are solidified in sandstone. Metallurgical studies show that
it was constructed of a type of iron that could not have been made under
present atmospheric conditions. It is believed that before the flood our
atmosphere was compressed to approximately twice its current density, and no
ultraviolet radiation.

In June 1934, the Hahn family discovered a rock, sitting loose on a ledge
beside a waterfall outside of London, Texas. The site primarily consists of
75-100

million years old cretaceous rock.
Noticing this weathered rock had wood protruding from it, they cracked it open,
exposing the hammer head. To verify that the hammer was made of metal, they cut
into one of the beveled sides with a file. The bright metal in the nick is
still there, with no detectable corrosion. The unusual metallurgy is 96% iron,
2.6% chlorine and 0.74% sulfur (no carbon). Density tests indicate exceptional
casting quality.

The density of the iron in a central, cross-sectional plane shows the interior
metal to be very pure, with no bubbles.

Modern industry cannot consistently produce iron castings with this quality, as
evidenced by test results that show bubbles and density variations that have
caused pump and valve bodies to break. The handle eye is partially coalifed
with quartz and calcite crystalline inclusions, oval shaped, and roughly
1″ x 1/2″.

Psalm 12…Man’s Treachery and God’s Constancy.

Help, Lord, for the godly man ceases! For the faithful disappear from among the sons of men. They speak idly everyone with his neighbor; with flattering lips and a double heart they speak. May the Lord cut off all flattering lips, And the tongue that speaks proud things, Who have said, “With our tongue we will prevail; Our lips are our own; Who is Lord over us?” “For the oppression of the poor, for the sighing of the needy, Now i will arise,” says the Lord; “I will set him in the safety for which he yearns.”

The words of the Lord are pure words, like silver tried in a furnace of earth, Purified seven times. You shall keep them, O Lord, You shall preserve them from this generation forever. The wicked prowl on every side, When vileness is exalted among the sons of men.

 Godly men cease to be godly when they engage in speech that is insincere (Vs. 2) and arrogant (vs.3,4) Disrespect for authority and self-will (vs.4) are not merely matters of independence; they lead to excesses and unaccountable behavior resulting in the oppression of others. God will speak up for the poor; we have the assurance of His words. (Vs. 6-7) Seven indicates full or complete refining. Wicked prowl. Crimes increase in cities where immorality is promoted or flaunted by civic leaders, elected officials, or media personalities.      

‘Chrislam’ – A Spirit of Antichrist.
David Dollins

I want to address what is beginning to occur in the Church and why it must be rejected outright. It’s becoming increasingly ‘in vogue’ to accept Islam in the Church. Consider a June 24, 2011 article from World Net Daily. “Dozens of churches, from Park Hill Congregational in Denver to Hillview United Methodist in Boise, Idaho, and First United Lutheran in San Francisco to St. Elizabeth’s Episcopal Church in Honolulu, are planning to send ‘a message both here at home and to the Arab and Muslim world about our respect for Islam’ with a time to read the Quran during worship this Sunday.” It has been labeled ‘Chrislam’, the attempt by some Christians to find common ground with Islam. One person said it was wrong. Another called it dangerous. God uses stronger words than that. Scripture itself declares ‘Chrislam’, the mixing of Christianity and Islam, to be a Spirit of Antichrist!
The Spirit of Antichrist was already prevalent during the time of the Apostle John. In fact, he was the one who had the most to say about this demonic influence. In 1 John 2:18, he said, “…you have heard that Antichrist shall come, even now are there many Antichrists; whereby we know it is the last time”. Again, in 1 John 4:3, he said, “…this is that SPIRIT OF ANTICHRIST, whereof you have heard that it should come; and EVEN NOW ALREADY IS IT IN THE WORLD”. The word ‘Antichrist’ simply means ‘against Christ’ or ‘opposes Christ’. Anything that would be introduced into the Church that would subvert the finished work of the Cross, that is, distract, corrupt, or take away from who Jesus Christ is and what He accomplished at the Cross, is a Spirit of Antichrist. I am reminded of the words of the Apostle Paul, “Now the Spirit speaks 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). The acceptance of Islamic practices into the Church by these and other ministers is giving way to seducing spirits and is teaching the doctrines of devils.
What I am about to show you are the characteristics that the Apostle John himself used to describe the Spirit of Antichrist:
1) The Spirit of Antichrist denies that Jesus is the Christ. In 1 John 2:22, it says, “Who is the liar but he who denies that Jesus is the Christ? He is Antichrist…” The word ‘Christ’ in the original Greek means ‘Anointed One’. In other words, it is a declaration of Jesus as Messiah. Islam rejects that Jesus is the one and only true Messiah. They believe He was a prophet and maybe a type of Messiah, but not the Anointed One. If that’s not enough, John goes further by calling them liars.
2) The Spirit of Antichrist denies that Jesus is the Son of God. In 1 John 2:22, the Apostle continues, “He is Antichrist, who denies the Father and the Son”. Islam rejects that Jesus affirmed He was the Son of God. Furthermore, one well-known Bible teacher said that Muslims believe that the Mahdi is the future leader and that Jesus will return and follow the Mahdi to Jerusalem where He (Jesus) will deny He is the Son of God. Again, in this same verse, John said those who reject His Sonship were liars.
3) The Spirit of Antichrist does not confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh. In 1 John 4:3, again the Apostle states, “And every spirit that confesses not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that Spirit of Antichrist…” Did you catch that? Any spirit that rejects God as coming in the flesh is ‘not of God’. If it didn’t come from God, then it is a doctrine of devils according to the Apostle Paul himself, as stated earlier. Islam rejects that God came into this world in the flesh. This also tells us that the Christian God, who is Jesus Christ, is not the same as the Muslim god, Allah. It also proves that Allah is a false god.
Finally, the following are some of the last words the Apostle Peter would write before, according to tradition, he was crucified upside-down. “But there were false Prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord Who bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction” (2 Peter 2:1). For these Church leaders, who are blind watchmen, to bring Islam and the reading of the Quran into the Church is to deny the Lord himself, it is to deny who He is, and it is to deny what He accomplished at Calvary’s Cross 2,000 years ago, when He gave His life for the sins of the world! Just as bad, it is an open acceptance of the Spirit of Antichrist, which John said will bring swift destruction and ultimately, yet sadly, the damning of the soul.
What should the Church do now? We must get back to proclaiming that Jesus Christ is the only way of salvation without fear of reprisal. We must defend and preach the deity of Jesus, that He is the one true God and there is no other. Then we must also boldly proclaim the Holy Scriptures, not the Quran, as the inspired and inerrant Word of God.
Everyone should be free to practice their religion in the way they choose. What this is about is defending the truth of who Jesus Christ is and what He accomplished at the Cross, and preserving the purity of the Church against the infiltration of false doctrine. The Early Church Fathers (e.g., St. Polycarp, St. Irenaeus) defended the Truth against heresy, so why don’t we?

THE FENCE
You can’t get any more accurate than this!

Which side of the fence?

If you ever wondered which side of the fence you sit on, this is a great test!
If a Republican doesn’t like guns, he doesn’t buy one.
If a Democrat doesn’t like guns, he wants all guns outlawed.

If a Republican is a vegetarian, he doesn’t eat meat.
If a Democrat is a vegetarian, he wants all meat products banned for everyone.

If a Republican is homosexual, he quietly leads his life.
If a Democrat is homosexual, he demands legislated respect.

If a Republican is down-and-out, he thinks about how to better his situation.
A Democrat wonders who is going to take care of him.

If a Republican doesn’t like a talk show host, he switches channels.
Democrat’s demand that those they don’t like be shut down.

If a Republican is a non-believer, he doesn’t go to church.
A Democrat non-believer wants any mention of God and religion silenced.

If a Republican decides he needs health care, he goes about shopping for it, or may choose a job that provides it..
A Democrat demands that the rest of us pay for his.

If a Republican reads this, he’ll forward it so his friends can have a good laugh.
A Democrat will delete it because he’s “offended
