Sarah Palin To Be Interviewed By New Age Queen

Sarah Palin will appear on Oprah to talk about new book. This ought to be something.

Hope Sarah speaks truthfully about faith and family values.

Oprah, the many ways to God queen, is the world's new age queen and is really anti Christian as she goes against the Gospel.

A lot of people are going to decide what they think about her on how she answers, or if the question of God even comes up. Sarah is a Assemblies of God member and Oprah of course is the world's largest proponet of the many way theory.

Hopefully book sales won't cause a wimp out. Very crucial for Palin to call it like it is.

In a sharp policy shift, the Obama administration told federal attorneys not to prosecute patients who use marijuana for medical reasons or dispensaries in states where it has been legalized. Dispensaries are nothing more than legalized pot dealers who have there reputations to protect. The prime for primo.

These places are where you get the really good stuff.

In California, everyone can walk around high all day and the world's problem will have melted into euphoria. I heard the pilot's union has requested the same rights. And the surgeons have expressed an interest to cut down stress.

Sounds like the answer, just get high and your problems will go away. Poooof.

"I can do all things through Jesus Christ who strengthens me."

Financial Crisis

In all appearances, it seems as though the market is steady and moving in an upward trend. In most sectors there is improvement, and in some cases; you would never know that there was a depression. Many people are about half way back to pre depression levels. Pull backs are slight.

Oil is at $80 per barrel and many think a bit high.

However, the bottom line is we keep losing jobs. But, if you think that bothers corporate America, better think again. Unions have all been busted for the most part. Corporate America is happy to have trimmed it's work force, better bottom line for the share holders. Do they care about the worker? You figure. More workers, less profits.

So things look good from Wall Street, but not Main Street. However, there are some indications and even some small amount of hiring going on even though we are still negative in that area.

Do I believe what I hear on TV, no. Do I pay attention to mortgage rates, no. Why, my God meets all my needs. Simple as that. I pay little attention to what is going on in the world. "Man does not eat by bread alone, but by every Word out of the mouth of God. Amen.

Radical Islam

First, this post is not referring to peace loving Islamic peoples-----but to radical Islamic factions. The radical Islamic movement is dedicated to the destruction of Christianity and Christians. Not just in faraway places, but here in this country and worldwide.

Muslim country representatives at the United Nations are plotting to destroy Christianity. They won't win.

The Organization of the Islamic Conference comprised of 57 Muslim nations has intensified it's efforts, vigorously pushing the UN to vote on a cleverly worded tolerance resolution which would criminalize the proclamation of the Gospel. It's a bold faced double standard.

When a government allows Christians to be tortured, burned alive, as Pakistan has done----and when the UN considers criminalizing your faith------it's about your faith. It is about you.

Please write your congressman to put pressure on the UN through his (her) channels not to allow this thinly veiled attack on Christians everywhere.

Drug Companies Overcharge Americans

CNBC just had the CEO of Pfizer on and asked him why we pay more in this country then others for medications.

His answer was full of double talk and skirting the issue. He never answered the question other than it was better to take a pill than go to the hospital. Whoopy.

My wife buys an HMR from Canada for 1/10th the cost of what it cost in the U.S. and to think that George Bush wanted us to be forbidden from going to Canada to secure affordable medications. George, George, shame on you.

There needs to be a drug czar who will initiate a complete investigation into the drug companies and their pricing structures. Limits need to be set, it's not about the bottom line and roi for stock holders. It is about us and fairness.

Thirty Zyprexa cost $607 in central Wisconsin. That's absurd, Zyprexa has been available for a long time and the development cost have long been recouped.

The rip off has got to stop. These completely immoral practices are breaking us.

The Greatest Warrior

The Bible never pictures Jesus as a plastic super hero. It says that our Savior was badgered by temptation just like the rest of us. He went toe to toe with Satan. Straight on.

Just before Jesus launched His public ministry of miracle working and preaching, the Spirit of God commanded Him to go into the desert for a period of intense testing. Jesus went without food for forty days and nights; fasting and praying only.

Jesus was hungry by the end of this time-----like anyone would be. This is when Satan pounced. He threw three temptations at Him; concrete opportunities to go against His Father's will. They weren't just passing thoughts but brutal attempts to get Him to do evil, each custom designed to drag Jesus into evil.

Each one to entice Jesus to get a good thing by doing a bad thing.

• satisfying His hunger without God's specific permission
• gaining followers by misusing His power
• seizing control of the world apart from winning salvation through the cross

Jesus wilderness testing not only illustrates how temptation targets us at times and targets us when we are most vulnerable, but it demonstrates how to fight back. Jesus didn't call on any resource not available to every believer. He fought Satan's lying enticements with specific truths from God's Word. With God's Word guarding His mind, heart and body; Jesus was invincible. He simply relied on God's ultra powerful Word.

I would like to say that I have defeated every temptation; that would be a bold faced lie. I have given in more times than I care to admit. However, being in the Word has helped me recognize the deceit of the evil one and to be able to overcome his rotten control of me at my weak points. I still need to get stronger in the Word, for I am powerless on my own. The more Word, the stronger the resistance.

If you are mired in sin, turn to the Word with all you possess.

Are You Tired of Being Good

Every act you commit, the Bible says, is like putting seed in the ground. You don't see the results right away, but in time a plant sprouts. If you sow corn, in a few months, you get corn. If you drop apple seeds on the ground, next year or even this, you will sprout a small apple tree.

You should never be surprised by what grows up, because you can count on getting back what you put in the ground. Corn seed makes corn. Thistle seed produce thistles.

Each deed you ever do, the Bible says, is like putting a seed in the ground. And God won't be taken lightly. He ensures that what you plant is what you reap. If you do evil, you will harvest rotten fruit. If you do good, you will gather everlasting life. This doesn't mean you earn eternity in heaven for doing good. It means you enjoy heaven's awesome quality of life right now, knowing God deeply and having life abundantly. To have eternity in heaven, the only way is through the Son, Jesus Christ.

Don't get weary of doing good. Follow God's commands, believe me you will fail enough to stay humble. You don't see a harvest the day after you sow a seed. It takes time. You reap in due season. Stay strong in the Lord and help everybody----because the good you do is like doing it to Jesus, and so is the bad. Blessings.

Be honest, take constant moral inventories about your deeds concerning fellow man whether he be of faith or not. Don't deceive yourselves.

The Real Battle

Your real enemy in this real-life daily battle are not the flesh and blood people who try to lure you from your faith, whether friends who want to pull you into sin or strangers who lure you with books and music, tv, web sites, philosophies, and off world views.

Your real enemies are evil spiritual entities. You actually fight against powers, principalities. You actually fight against the rulers of darkness.

To win this battle, you need spiritual weapons from God that will allow you to stand against the master of deceit. God outfits you with what you need------the Armor of God. The Word of God contains in Ephesians 6 the whole armor of God. Take a look. It may save your life from eternal suffering in this world and the next.

Who Is In Charge----Christ and the Husband

You can't help but find instructions on how to do male-female relationships on every page of scripture. Every point you learn about living and loving as God intends naturally applies to how you get along with the opposite sex., whether that is someone you are just getting to know or your married partner.

Ephesians 5:22-33 gives instructions aimed specifically at Christian husbands and wives. Many people have trouble with statements like "wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord.

Many Bible experts (if there is such a thing) says that we should mutually submit to one another, serving with the same attitude Jesus constantly displayed.

However, others say there is another kind of submission going on here. They point out that the word submission has military origins. Though it doesn't refer to forced submission. It does mean voluntary submission to an appointed authority. It's the same word used for Christians submitting to government figures and youth submitting to elders. Women as God intended are to voluntarily put themselves under the authority of their husbands.

While that might sound like a tough job for wives, the bulk of the passage actually focuses on the duties of the husband, requiring men to love their wives "just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for her."

Any husband who makes a case that the Bible requires His wife's submission to him must accept an even bigger job. He must submit to Christ's complete authority and devote himself to loving his wife with the same kind of sacrificial love that drove the Lord to the cross.

1. Husbands are also to protect their wives physically, emotionally, spiritually, financially, and give her all the security she needs to do her job.
2. Husbands will answer to God for the kind of job they did as a husband and father.

So the wives submit so her husband can do his job. Husbands love your wives as Christ loved the church. Each is necessary so that the other can function as God intended.

Those TV News Programs----Gloom and Doom

I was just watching the news on CNN, it's now 9:24 on Saturday morning. I was looking for one positive story, something uplifting, something not about evil. But what that hour brought was:

• Administration's reviewing policy on Pakistan and Afghanistan
• American soldiers dyeing because time taking on review
• Announcing a special on Jonestown and Jim Jones
• Floods in Arkansas
• Attack on military check point
• Sunami hits American Samoa
• The economy

After that much negative information, I wondered did nothing good happen in the world? Did not God do a healing miracle yesterday? Or did He take the day off. Did nobody help anybody yesterday or last night? Didn't anything good happen at all.

This country's news sources live on negative situations or conditions. They are planting seeds of discourse. No wonder people in this country to a large degree have such a fearful and negative outlook. You become what you take in your mind, you become what you buy into.

Wouldn't it be a pleasant departure if the news organizations reported good things, or if just half of what they reported was good? People are actually helping each other, and God is actually healing and saving people. We live in a still free society.

We do really have in the media a anti God does anything policy, it's also in the schools, and in the government, and in industry, and worst of all in the medical community. Some people actually believer that God is in our imagination and really doesn't do anything. He just sits up there and watches and makes notes. Wonder what God thinks about that?

Let's start with a national good news day and limit the negative to only impending doom and warnings to protect our citizens if a tornado is coming.

We need to get off this bad news kick.

To Hell with Christmas

I woke up this morning and thoughts of dear old Santa Claus, aka Chris Cringle, came to mind. Movies such as Miracle on Thirty Fourth Street and others are played every year during the Christmas season. Songs about a "White Christmas" and "Blue Christmas" are called Christmas music. Hogwash!!!!

It's all about money. Retailers do the majority of their business during the period from the day after Thanksgiving to into January. Now they want to distance themselves from the Christmas Holidays to Happy Holidays and make sure any reference to Christ is thoroughly removed. Then the Muslims can share in the festivities, so can the Jews, the Budhist, and even the Scientologists.

Well folks, Christmas is the ceremonial celebration of Jesus Christs' birth, my Lord and and Savior. Point blank. We do not do Christmas in our home in the traditional sense, we do it in the true sense, the honoring of Christ. Anything else is nothing but an abomination to the Lord. Jesus went to the cross for our sins and our sicknesses. He bore every sin known to man and every sickness that will ever exist. Plus He was beaten to worse than humanly possible to endure for our healings.

When He rose from the tomb, He was unrecognizable as a human. He walked right passed His own mother and she failed to recognize Him. This is not a fairy tale, this real, this is big time.

So, Ok, give your kids a few gifts; but also make sure that your whole family pays honor to Jesus for taking the heat for our sins------and what terrible heat it was. Not one of us has the guts to even think about doing it.

If you have raised your kids correctly, you have already taught them as to the real Christmas and educated them on Christian living and worshiping God through His Son, Jesus Christ. If you haven't done that, you simply haven't raised them correctly. I am only addressing people of the Christian faith, other religions are going to have their own issues to deal with.

So folks, it's time to take an inventory of where we stand on the matter of the real Christmas, and the real Christ. If your child, who can make a conscious decision, was to (and God forbid) die today, where would your child spend eternity? If you do know, you have done your job. If you don't know, you haven't. Either way, you are responsible.

Don't get my started on the Easter bunny!

We Are Descendants of Apes----According to .......

National Geographic had a reporter on Fox News this morning who claimed that scientists in Ethiopia found a remains of an ape who is a million years older than Lily who I guess was oldest until the new guy hit the block.

The claim is this, this ape is more like a human in his characteristics; giving the false idea that we once again evolved instead of being created by God. I certainly don't trust any of the news organizations whether it be Fox, CNN, or the rest. The use all kinds of absurd tactics to make sure that we are properly brainwashed into not believing in God.

Now National Geographic, that is a horse of a different color. That was a magazine from my youth and still looks pretty much the same. Has great photography and sometimes interesting stories. However, if they are preaching evolution; I am done other than to blog about them and their folly. Actually though I don't read them cause I am to busy.

I wonder how anyone can be so stupid not to believe that this complex world (sun, stars,) all revolve around the earth and for the benefit of the earth; and that God made them all that way cause He built us a place to live cause He wanted to have fellowship with us; so He made us in His likeness.

Worldly man believes our future lays in our intelligence, in our education. Why man can't even reproduce blood, or better said that man cannot duplicate blood. Blood has unknown entities that are beyond our scope of ability to make.

And if we are so smart, how come we are in such a big mess:

• global recession
• two not one strains of serious flu
• children gone completely astray
• moral decadence in society, tv, movies, magazines, and radio
• complete revelation of corporate greed at expense of public
• and on and on and on

You know if we abstained from reading, tv, movies, magazines, radio, and the internet for one year and during that year, we read only one book, the Bible. Would we be better? Certainly we would. Our whole society and values would be changed. However, I fear we are to dependant on external entertainment and could never accomplish that wonderful journey.

To Big To Handle.

In this world of financial crisis we experience many things:

• job loss
• family stress
• uncertainty
• health issues
• alcohol abuse
• drug abuse
• marriage failures
• foreclosure
• anxiety and depression

It all seems overwhelming and that there is nothing we can do about it. But that is wrong, dead wrong. We can have:

• peace
• joy
• love
• good health
• financial health
• emotional health

One might think this sounds absolutely ridiculous. And by the world's standards it is for sure.

But by God's standards, they are to be expected. His ways are not our ways and His words are not are words. We have not cause we ask not. He is just waiting for the next opportunity to meet our needs, but if we don't ask, we don't get. One other thing, we must believe that we will receive; in other words put total trust in Him.

Lay your burdens at His feet for they are too complex for you to handle. And frankly, you don't have the answers. When your burdens get heavy and start to way you done, you can't sleep at night, you are stressed and worried. Worry is the opposite of faith. Who are going to believe, Him or the world.

Remember a fool is someone who thinks they are intelligent. A bigger fool is someone who thinks they can handle everything.
