The more I listen to the dribble that comes out of the mouth of the GOP the more my mind glazes over like a doughnut. I swear, they are all starting to sound like Charlie Browns teacher to me every time they try and articulate words....Waw wawa wa waw. Honestly I don't care how Romney feels about Gingrichs' record. I don't care how Gingrich feels about Romneycare. I don't watch Jersey Shore because of it's a brainless and completely Godless waste of time and space. I don't tune into a presidential debate to see the same thing. I wonder if these things are tempered thus because Americans have dropped to double digit IQ's. Possibly even as low as room temperature. When is a candidate going to say to a moderator: "My friend, I respect that you asked me the question however, I believe that the American people no longer wish to watch dirty politics and name calling. It does not matter how I feel about another candidates policies. Would you please, sir (or ma'am), ask me a question on my policies and hold my feet to the fire on whether I am right, wrong, or telling the truth."

Still waiting.

Let's talk about taxes now. It doesn't take a genius or someone with full set of teeth to look at our tax code and say, "Wow, that doesn't make a lot of sense". While some on the right have come out with plans to make changes to it, to which I commend them, no one has really stuck it too the left on the truth of American taxes. Here's what I mean:

The left says, "Tax the rich. Tax the rich."

The right says, "Trickle down economics. Trickle down economics."

While I don't disagree with trickle down economics, the average American is saying, "The tax code is messed up and needs fixed. It does, at times, overly favor the rich because they were involved with writing it. It does allow people who don't pay income taxe to recieve income tax return for having lots of kid and being single." So where is the leader who says, "The tax code is broke. But all you people who are calling for tax the rich are just using code words for class warfare Communism. Taht being said, we will not listen to you. Instead, we are going to strive to find an American capitalist way to fix our tax code."

Since we are talking capitalism we will go there next.

The left says, "Capitalism has failed. Capitalism has failed."

The right says,"..........Trickle down economics."

Where is the one to stand up and say, "Of course what we have is failing. It's not true capitalism. Look to the past how great capitalism has been and how much it has provided for the world. Even in a time when it was broken. We have not been a true capitalist country since the Federal Reserve Act of 1913. While some during the 20th century have been able to make capitalist gains under this system, it is still not true capitalism. It is really economic totalitarianism. No leader has said that yet.

Waiting. Twittling my thumbs.

How bout this one:

The left, "A woman has a right to choose."

Where's the leader to say,"Yes a woman does have the right to choose. If she so chooses to abort her own body no one is going to stop her. However, we have a duty to make sure that the body that is growing inside her is protected."

The left counters,"What about rape and incest?"

The leader says,"Well right now we are working on a system where convicted rapists and child molesters get the electric chair. Once that is implemented that problem will be drastically reduced."

How about the contraception mandate? Obama will waive it...but....

If the right does not say we will not back down until it is out of the law (or the law is repealed) then they are pathetically myopic. As soon as Obama sees another opportunity (Like after 2012?) that waiver will go the way of the Constitution; Right down the White House plumbing.

Still waiting....Would someone please check if Boehner is a man please. Maybe Pelosi left a crap load of estrogen in that room and it made their testicles shrivel? Just trying to give them the benefit of the doubt.

Lastly, I'm going to talk about Concealed Carry Reciprocity. Yes my cynicism knows no bounds. It transcends race and culture and is an equal opportunity employer.

Before I say that it's a bad idea, let me explain a bit. It's not a bad idea as an idea, It's a bad idea as an indicator. Here's why:

The law says that each state must recognize the rights granted by other states. Did you catch that? Rights granted by other states. Last I checked my right to keep and bear arms came from God. So even though this is a law that is supposed to guarantee rights, it is guaranteeing rights given to us by the state (or states). As an indicator this shows just how far America has fallen from Her identity. So even Constitutional rights are granted by the states? I guess Barak Obama was right when he removed Creator from our Declaration! It seems, in practice, the right agrees with that.

I can hear Wayne LaPierres argument now,"We had to do this because of what the left is done!" Yes Wayne, I understand that. But my concern is that no one has pointed this out yet. I'm not a genius. Heck, I didn't even finish high school and I'm missing teeth (Luckily they are molars so you can't see it), but I figured this out. So I want to be clear and state that I don't disagree with the law. I'm just disgusted at what it indicates about America. I'm further disgusted that no leader stood up and said it.

I'll leave you all with this:

Brethren, our preaching will bear its legitimate fruits. If immorality prevails in the land, the fault is ours in a great degree. If there is a decay of conscience, the pulpit is responsible for it. If the public press lacks moral discrimination, the pulpit is responsible for it. If the church is degenerate and worldly, the pulpit is responsible for it. If the world loses its interest in religion, the pulpit is responsible for it. If Satan rules in our halls of legislation, the pulpit is responsible for it. If our politics become so corrupt that the very foundations of our government are ready to fall away, the pulpit is responsible for it. Let us not ignore this fact, my dear brethren; but let us lay it to heart, and be thoroughly awake to our responsibility in respect to the morals of this nation. --Charles G. Finney, December 4, 1873

I hate to be a complete buzz kill, but I have to ask, Does anyone else feel like we are headed into a vicious and bloody civil war? I have learned more in the last 3 years of my life than the 29 previous from this crisis we now face. It has driven me to fervently study our nations history. It has driven me to my knees before God above where, only in His presence, the transformation of the soul purifies the perspective of a person by filtering it through the Light of the Absolute God.

Going far enough into our past, a person finds that our nations founding goes fare beyond the 1776 generation. It traces all the way back to the vision of the humble and powerful works of the Pilgrims and Puritans. It takes only minutes into a study of these reverent people to see how far Americas concept of Christianity has decayed. To read their words of how reverently they esteemed God and how serious they viewed His judgement on sins will rake coals across a persons soul. Truly the fear of the Lord was the beginning of the deep doctrine they possessed. I hear so many saying that Chronicles 7:14 is the answer but this verse is just generic without the backing of true and powerful Biblical Doctrine. Biblical Doctrine that is woefully missed in these dark days. Doctrine that led a people to believe that if they remained holy before God and devoted to being a City on a Hill than He would deliver them from the slavery of "Egypt" to His blessings in the "Promised Land".

Knowing how high we stood, and seeing how far we have fallen, it is easy to see that Barak Obama is Gods voice to us saying, "Mene, Mene, Tekel u-Pharsin". Charles Finney warned us in 1873 that if our nation came to this point of corruption, it was the Pulpits responsibility. It took one civil war to rid this nation of the evils of slavery, will it take another to rid us of the evils of unchecked liberalism? That war came quick on the heels of one of the greatest revivals this country has ever seen. Is their one now?

I am not writing this particular blog to go into a deep religious discussion. I am writing to brainstorm with you all how we might survive what is coming. Survive and thrive. I have brainstormed night and day on how to survive politically through this coming storm and have a couple of ideas to share. The 2012 elections will not save us. Neither will subsequent ones when to storm begins to blow. Will we have elections? I doubt we will when it gets thick based upon the M. O. of tyrants. So here are the ideas.

1-Take the Constitution as a renewed foundation.

2-Clarify the 2nd Amendment to be beyond discussion that it extends to every individual.

3-Add an amendment to stop the economic tyranny of central banking and legal tender laws.

4-Add and amendment that forbids Executive Csars as well as Executive bureaucracies.

5-Clarify the 1st Amendment to rid us of the lie of Separation of Church and State.

6-Add and amendment that keeps Presidents for engaging in "Kinetic Military Actions".

7-Add a provision that states that no treaty is valid that usurps the rights stated therein.

8-Add a provision that makes the states contractually obligated to extend all stated rights to it's     citizens

9-Keep amendment 17 but explain how the direct democracy of its actions has corrupted the Senate and add a section returning it to its original in the Constitution.

Lastly, and I think this is the most important for us to survive politically.

10-Teach all about new constitution and convince state and local legislators to ratify it. Then, having ratified it, declare independence from Washington D.C.

These are just some brainstorming ideas to have out and about during these rocky times. Something for all to talk about, add to, take away from, and perfect by men and women wiser than myself.

Our presuppositions are built upon what we percieve as absolutes. Our inherent personal doctrines. post modernism would have us believe that their are no absolutes yet, to this worldview, the absolute exists of many views all reaching one conclusion. Every thought that we formulate is filtered through our axioms before it dictates our actions. That makes our presuppositions the most important thing we have apart from salvation. With them we either humbly rise to the highest heights of human greatness or, infected with the gangrenous disease of hubris, we become the very beasts that we claim to be. 

In Christianity we build doctrines upon what Gods Word tells us. Doctrines like man is a fallen sinner (Romans 3:23 ). That the world is under a curse from our sin (Genesis 3:17).  That Christ will return as a conquering King (Revelation 19:11).


Likewise, Islam builds it's doctrines from what the Koran says.  Doctrines that state that to follow Allah you must do as Muhammed (Suras 3:32, 3:132, 4:13, 4:59 4:69............). This has given rise to the Islamic doctrines within the Hadiths (Scholarly writings of Muhammeds life and sayings). From this the doctrine of abrogation has become intertwined within Islam to hide the contradictions. Other doctrines include: Killing the infidel (Sura 9:73, Sura 9:123). The return of the "Prophet Jesus" to Islamize the world (Sura 4:159, Hafith: Kitab al-Masahif). Also, the inferiority of women as well as justification for polygamy and wife beating (Suras 2:282, 4:3, 4:111, Hadith Sahih Muslim B. 4)


Evolution is the engine that has created the faith of Atheism. Yes, Atheism is a religion. It takes faith to believe in evolution because all we have is observable science. We have bones and rocks. No one was their when these things died or when the universe was created so it takes faith to believe if God did it according to the Bible, if Allah did it according to the Koran, or if nothing exploded and becoem everything according to evolution. Creationists interpret the observable science as the sedimentary stratification and mass global death of Noahs flood as recorded in Genesis. Evolutionists interpret it as the geologic column and the evolutionary fossil record. Since evolution is a religion it therefore must have doctrines, correct? It does.


The doctrines of evolution turn out to be exactly the opposite of the doctrines of the Bible. The first is that death creates life. Man is the product of death and death breeds perfection. That makes evolutionists worshipers of death. Millions of years of death and suffering have made this world a better place and created man, the most powerful creature that has ever existed. What comes directly out of this is another doctrine that life is cheap and must be sacrificed in order for "nature" to unfold her next breakthrough. The doctrine of racism?

"It is not my intention here to describe the several so-called races of men; but I am about to inquire what is the value of the differences between them under a classificatory point of view, and how they have originated." Charles Darwin The Origin of Man

Eugenics, superior races, utopia through legislation is nothing new. It goes back to the tower of Babel. Remember, the elite are the ones who are separated form the herd. They are the ones who are strong enough to lead us to the next evolutionary breakthrough. All we need is a Proletariat who is strong and wise like Stalin, or Hitler, maybe Obama. Google Dawins quotes and count how many times he says change.

This leads me to the last evolutionary doctrine I will discuss. The herd mentality. Collectivism. group punishment and group rewards. Communism is from the word community and communism is the default actions of the evolutionist, just as salvation and evangelism are for the Christian and jihad is for the Muslim. The evolutionists worldview will inevitably lead him to embrace Communism for don't you know that we all must become gods. (Look at Hugo Rheinholds "Monkey with skull" statue. His foot is on an open Bible. Guess which verse.)

I will conclude with why this is so important to know these things. We are dealing here with the three largest competing worldviews. In the end only one will survive, but for now these three are in all out war with each other. Communism and Islam right now are at an uneasy truce to defeat Christianity, but like Hitler and Stalins pact, it cannot last beyond the destruction of Christianity. Islam and Christianity are truly poles apart and irreconcilable with each other, but what of Christianity and evolution? Here is where I believe the problem is. This is the reason that, for all intents and purposes, Christianity is dead in America. The doctrines of evolution have wormed their way into the church. In some cases even evolution itself has taken a hold in churches, even evangelical ones. It's the doctrines that have become part of our cultural thinking and undermined the strong, true Christian doctrines of our Founding Fathers.This whole time we have put our blinders on and pretended that it is O.K. to accept these things as differing opinions (no absolutes), or that regulation is just how we do things now days (Collectivism), or that man is not completely depraved apart from Christ, he can be an immoral man in his personal life and a moral one in his business life (man is not inherently evil).

You cannot marry the beautiful and infallible doctrines of Christ the King with that of a whore! You had better be aware of where the doctrinal ideals of the latest suggestion of worldview has come from. The time of Gods judgment is beginning to break upon our shores. Ignorance will no longer be an excuse for the sheep and the goats are being separated to be burned. It's high time that Christianity's ivory tower came crumbling down and we turned once again to the power of the God of our Gospels. The King took of His crown. He laid aside His Royal robe. He stepped down off of His throne to face the cat of nine tails ripping His precious flesh. The crown of thorns as a mockery upon His brow. The spikes of the Cross ripping through the flesh of His hands and feet. Yet worst of all it was the darkness when His Father turned His back on Him.

"Eloi. Eloi. Lamas Sabacthani!"

All to save you and me. This is not a thing to be taken lightly. The absolute Truth of His doctrines must be jealously maintained. This must cost us everything as it did Him. The hand that goes to the plow and looks back is not fit for the Kingdom of Heaven. The eye that pays tribute to the subversive throne of Hollywood is not fit to be called a Child of God. The mind that deifies itself by calling the six day creation a myth over mans fallible science is not pure enough to be called the Virgin Bride of Christ. The pastor whose wandering eyes lusts after its depravity is not fit to shepherd worms. The preacher who tells happy Bible stories to negate the strictness of Gods commands is not of the Shepherd who comes in by the door. The evangelist who cheapens grace by showing the easy dutiless way has defamed the Name of God. The axe is laid at the root of the tree. Our manifold sins are made plain to us by the state of this nation. Is it that only after jusgment that we shall see that He is LORD? Chastisement comes upon those whome He loves. The child reprimanded always feels anger at first. Come back to Gods fulness. Seek His True doctines. Seperate yourselves from this world and be Holy as He is Holy.

In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.  And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.  And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.  And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day. Genesis 1:1-5

I'm sure a that I got everyone's attention with this titles and I'm sure you are by now thoroughly confused with how Genesis fits into the argument, but please bear with me, even when I offend you as I am sure I will.

The above verse is the foundation upon which the Cross stands. Every Christian doctrine can be traced back to Genesis 1-11. The very Absolute Authority that is the Holy Living God is wrapped up in this. It is also the verse that has been destroyed and ignored within the Church. The Cross of Christ no longer has It's foundation and has fallen into wreckage upon our shores. Our children mock it. Our leaders deny it. Our Churches cheapen It's heavy cost. Our Saviour's tears fall upon our cities as He raises His mighty Hand against us.

Gods Word is infallible just as He is also. He never deceives or misinforms us in His Word for Revelation is the linchpin to Salvation. God said He built this in 6 days and rested on the seventh. Still, we would let the fallible science of man impress us to the point in which we would dilute the infallible Word of God with mans wisdom. If God did not build this earth like He says He did than who is to say that He fed the 5,000? Who is to say that He raised Lazarus? Who is to say that He Himself has risen from the dead? If Gods Word is not Absolute Truth why should we follow it? Why do our children turn?

If I did not believe that Christ is who is who His Word says He is than I would have walked from this joke that we call American Christianity long ago. I hope you are offended because this it the 800 pound gorilla that has sat in our congregations for 100 years.  When Christ walked this earth in His body, the Pharisees and Saduccees had claimed that their religion was the way. They had convinced themselves that they had Gods Works all figured out but the very presence of the Roman empire should have been the light that shone upon their works. similarly, our Churches act as if their Christianity is the right way while the Marxist, the Muslims, and the Globalists have succeeded in tearing this nation down brick by brick while the Christians either complain or hide their heads in the sand of their Sunday morning sing-along.

Now I'm going to come full circle with the title. Be warned, you will be offended because I am about to destroy this house of straw that the Christians as well as the right has built. Go back to Woodrow Wilson. His policies were roundly rejected by the American people. Indeed, his very presence in politics should have caused a national revival and wakeup. That being said though, the American people pretty much destroyed everything that he had built. Now comes FDR. No president or congress that has come after him has destroyed the monstrosity that he built. Not even Reagen did it. Don't get me wrong I liked Reagen but the fact of the matter is that he was really only the best post FDR president that we have had. Looking to men like Coolidge don't give him as much credit as we have in our hopes that we can be a nation like our Founders had envisioned.

To get back to the 800 pound gorilla we must look to the first Republican president. Abraham Lincoln, against Judge Douglas in the presidential debates of 1858, made it clear. He says "Judge Douglas says that whoever wants slaves , they have a right to have them. He is perfectly logical, if their is nothing wrong in the institution; but if you admit that it is wrong, he cannot possible say that anybody had a right to do wrong".

Bingo hotshot.

The let is perfectly logical in wanting Communism, if Communism is not wrong. But if it is wrong, than it cannot be logically argued as a right. Is it right or wrong? Do our rights come from God or man? Who is God if Genesis 1-11 is not true? Their must be no God then from which our rights come from! We have been told that by our schools and Colleges (no surprise). But we have, in effect, also been told that by our Churches. By not upholding a literal and Authoritative view of the infallible Word of God, the entire foundation of our argument has been removed for our rights. To the left we are wrong, therefore we have no right to argue. Of course, Honest Abe had the benefit of riding on one of the greatest revivals that this nation has ever seen. We don't have that, yet, today.

I will pause here to inject some links to information. Many will ask "What about science?" Well the truth is their is only one kind of science and that is observable science. Both Creationists and Evolutionists are bound into observable science. The only difference is your presupposition or worldview. The fact is though, observational science backs the young Earth creation much more than evolution. I cannot get into it here but you can research it yourselves at:

Back to the 800 pound gorilla. My bass player in my band was complaining the other day that one of the big gun control pushers was found out to have a concealed carry permit and packed heat (he didn't remember the persons name). I said, "So what. They are the Proletariat and they have that right while we don't." He proceeded to get mad at me until I explained that that argument does not even hold a candle because that is the way that they think. Presupposition. Worldview. I hate when people think that logic can win an argument against a liberal. The presupposition conforms the worldview and is the foundation for logic.

In fact, Max Horkheimer of the Marxist Frankfurt school politicized logic by saying that logic is not independent of content, or, an argument is only logical if it helps destroy Western culture and illogical if it supports it.

The fact that we have been losing the battle for 60 years should have turned us to a better battle plan by now. The Left is only living out their worldview and we should not even be surprised at it. If darkness grows it is because of an absence of light. Where is the "Light of the World"? It is compromised the Authority of the Word of God and has conceded territory, America, to the enemy. Patriots, welcome to post Christian America. Land of the free to kill babies in utero and home of homosexual marriage. Don't be surprised that your arguments have no effect. Only presuppositions have any bearing.

I am hated now I know. I will be the first to kick the pulpits over and tell the preachers to sit down and stop slandering the good Name of God with this complacent happy story time bull crap. George Whitefield called them dead men preaching to dead congregations. Oh My LORD in Heaven that You could send us a Whitefield now! MENE MENE TEKEL UPHARSIN America! Gods Hand is against you.

Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked: I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see. As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent. Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me. To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne. He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches. Revelation 3:17-22

Only Jesus can save us. Only Jesus can change us. The Bible says that Abraham believed God and it was credited to him as righteousness. He believed God. Not believed in God. he believed what God said, even when it went against his logic and against Gods Law (yes the Patriarchs had the Law before Mose gave it on Mount Sinai). Return to Christ and seeks His absolute authority over your lives lest He come and find us naked and remove us from His body. Please my friends the fate of millions of souls is at hand. Repent of turning His Religion and His Church in to a philosophy and a culture over a relationship with Him. Repent that we no longer know Him.

Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them. Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. Matthew 7:21-23

Brothers and sister that verse is for us now. We have forfeit Gods authority in our lives and hearts and the fruits of it are showing now. Please return to God. Only when we stand for the absolute Truth and allow God to change the presuppositions will this evil stop.

Brethren, our preaching will bear its legitimate fruits. If immorality prevails in the land, the fault is ours in a great degree. If there is a decay of conscience, the pulpit is responsible for it. If the public press lacks moral discrimination, the pulpit is responsible for it. If the church is degenerate and worldly, the pulpit is responsible for it. If the world loses its interest in religion, the pulpit is responsible for it. If Satan rules in our halls of legislation, the pulpit is responsible for it. If our politics become so corrupt that the very foundations of our government are ready to fall away, the pulpit is responsible for it. Let us not ignore this fact, my dear brethren; but let us lay it to heart, and be thoroughly awake to our responsibility in respect to the morals of this nation. --Charles G. Finney, December 4, 1873

It is a poor sermon that gives no offense; that neither makes the hearer displeased with himself nor with the preacher. George Whitefield 

If I profess with the loudest voice and clearest exposition
every portion of the truth of God except precisely that little
point which the world and the devil are at that moment
attacking, I am not confessing Christ, however boldly I
may be professing Christ. Where the battle rages, there the loyalty of the soldier is
proved, and to be steady on all the battlefield besides
is mere flight and disgrace if he flinches at that point.
-MARTIN LUTHER

This is a call to the deepest parts of the human heart. The parts that tell us that we are wise. The dark room where small voices whisper our greatness in our ears and puff our egos above everything that is called God. No revival shall come. No hope lies in the future of our nation for God has been placed low in our hearts. We honor Him with our lips, yet our vain and conceited arrogance is our daily bread. We shall fight this battle in vain and the darkness shall grow as the Light is snuffed out within us. For Gods Holy Word is now dead in our hearts.

For two hundred years we have been hiding behind the masks of self deceit as we raise or hands and cry before His altar. What we believed was "science" told us that this world was millions of years old. The first preachers compromised the Word and left the door ajar for Satan to walk in and lead our children out successively. We tell them to believe in Jesus and teach them happy tales of redemption and hope and then we throw them to the red wolves of Satan's wrath to be taught that the entire foundation of every Christian doctrine, the very Truth and Authority of Gods Holy Word, is a lie.

If God did not create this world in six days like He says He did then He must not care if homosexuals get married right? If Gods account of His creation is untrue then He must not care if we butcher our unborn children. If His creation account is a myth and its authority rests in mans "science" then His morality and even the death of His Son must be nothing but fairy tales. Indeed, if millions of years of death and sickening decay were the processes which made up our earth then what we call a loving God must be perverse, amoral, inept, and dishonest.

Or possibly the reverse is true. Perhaps we are the ones who are deceived, blind leaders of the blind, inept, and intellectually stunted. Perhaps the death and destruction we face is the product of our own rebellion and conceit. Perhaps God lets us have a small taste of existence without His presence to scare us from the precipitous edge of Hell itself. Death we all shall face and death we all deserve.

For God in all His greatness has made Himself our Absolute. He gave us His Word. His Standard. His Truth. His Wisdom. Who are we, in our spiritual retardation, to question the Word with which He spoke all into existence? Who are we to take God off of His throne and make ourselves into eternal kings? Those who do are no better that Atheists. They look God squarely in the eye and say "You are not my King. You have taken my place upon my throne for I am god of my universe". Is not righteousness conferred by those who trust in God? Then those who question, water down, or disjoint His Holy Word are no better that apostate heathen. Even if they wear the mark of the Cross upon their sleeve.

You brood of vipers who seek to undermine Gods authority by perverting and ignoring the absolute authority His Word! Leave His church and no longer claim His Name for you have slandered His Holy Name and destroyed His children. The smoke that blows from His nostrils is beginning to surround your feet for His wrath is kindled against the children of disobedience. His countenance is fierce and His power is turned upon those who have rebelled from His Holy Faith. No one shall stand when they come before His throne to give an account of their dealings of hypocrisy and destruction. For how shall we escape if we neglect so great a salvation?

Hold tight to your breast, feeble humans for The LORD shall return to judge all. Beg for His mercy now and plead the blood that was shed by His Holy Son Jesus Christ upon the Cross of Calvary for His great wrath shall be unleashed upon us soon. Let that Great Sacrifice, voluntarily partook by His Son, be the flaming power that ignites your dying souls. If we believe His Word, it shall be accredited to us as righteousness. If we walk with His Son we shall have life. If we trust in our wisdom, our sins come before His Throne to ignite His wrath against us. If we turn to Him, He shall turn to us. If we trust His absolute, then, and only then, shall we be called Children of the Living God.

Lately I have become further frustrated and deeply saddened with the state of everything I hear and see in America. We seem to be picking rotten fruit off of the tree and screaming at each other as to why the fruit is rotten, and who do we have to vote in to "magically" make the fruit not rotten. Why is the  question not asked, "Why is the tree bearing rotten fruit in the first place?" The Bible says that a good tree bears good fruit, so why aren't we good anymore? Why in a nation that claims 75 to 80% Christianity is the products of hell pouring off of us?

During the French Revolution they paraded a naked woman through the town and called her Liberty. They then continued to produce one of the most insidious acts of Christian murder in history. following that up, they burned Bibles and wrote new pamphlets on Realism and Reason. Then a despotic emperor.

Could it be that the "version" of Christianity that we have been practicing her for the last century or so become watered down? Could it be that we no longer DO what the Bible says and therefore are reaping the fruits of those actions?

Let me pose a scenario: Suppose you got married. It's a happy time. Suppose you came home and then never talked to your spouse. You never knew what they wanted or liked, you only came to them with a list of what you wanted. Whenever your spouse came to ask you to do anything you  told them you were to busy with the new car, or the nice house, or the new job. Then, it turns out, your spouse had written a book. So you took that book and made a copy of it. You put your copy on the shelf where it collected dust and then gave your other copy to a guy in a suit. The guy in the suit read the book and once a week you meet him in a building where he told you what the book said. When the book said what you didn't want to hear you went crying to the altar and asked your spouse for forgiveness. Then forgot about it then next day because the honor and glory of your spouse was not the most important thing in your life.

Would you treat God, the Almighty Creator of the Universe, this way?

I guarantee you my friends that a time is coming that will shake the very foundation of our faith in Jesus Christ. I plead with you to return to Him and walk in His glory. The events on Earth that are being set in motion will catapult us back into the dark ages and the torture and the persecution of the true followers of Christ will be unlike anything we have ever seen. Please, Please, return to Him that He may heal our land.

Equality as we know it now in America is on of the biggest lies that have been perpetrated upon a once enlightened nation. Our Declaration says that all men are created equal, and indeed in the eyes of our Creator we are. We are equal in the infinite value of human life as it is a gift from God. We are equal in the attainment of salvation through faith in Jesus, but equal in capacity and attainability of reach we are not. Equal in deserving respect and opportunity we are. Yet, it is obvious that all persons do not attain the same high standards nor do they all reach the same amount of wealth.

This in itself is a testament to Gods greatness. His word says that not all are preachers. Some are teachers, some are exhorters, some evangelists, and some prayer warriors. Individuality shows the unfathomable extent of Gods eternal personality. Putting these attributes in us is just proof that we are created in His image. Recognizing this and giving opportunity and not outcome coupled with personal liberty was one of His greatest gifts given to humanity. This gift was a blessing to those who chose to walk in His ways and seek enlightenment then, in 1776, declare an independence from all forms of oppression and tyranny.

Individuality and faith are the true catalyst for contentment in all circumstances. Contentment is the surest security of domestic peace and tranquility. Coupling that with liberty and economic freedom nothing can stop a man that strive for what he wants.

Yet here we stand. Ourselves and our children have been told that America violates human rights by not making all equal. We have been told that we deserve what we did not earn and if we don't get it the wealthy have taken it from us. We have been told that those who have been the "oppressors" need to be punished for their past sins. We have been saturated with the gasoline of class warfare and touched off by the flint of equality and discontent.

The dehumanization of life always begins with the equalization of humanity. The attempt to rob individualism from the individual leads to the devaluation of mankind and coupled with evolutionary theory a "final solution" is the only inevitable result. The devaluing of human life and the strangling of individualism is an affront to God and pours forth from the bowels of Hell itself. Any attempt to compartmentalize humanity into equality is a rejection of the truths of God. The rejection of Gods truth leads only to death.

Just finished the episode on this site of John Stossel speaking of the collective bargaining of unions. I have to admit that I sit dumbfounded, jaw on the floor. Within the first two minutes the sickening ignorance of the American people comes pouring off the screen. Ethan Pawlik  right away says that collective bargaining is not causing states to go broke because states are not broke. Perhaps this is just another failure of the Department of Education? Notice how many times he got backed into the corner and stumbled on his words? But somewhere, somehow, this man is put in charge of something and listened to by other people.

At 2:50 Mr. Pawlik says state and local workers are under paid and under compensated. I work for a local municipality and am a member of a certain very large union because of it (I will speak more on this later). We won't say the name of this Union but they are still looking for one of their missing leaders.....wink....wink. Trust me, Mr. Pawlik is seriously mistaken. Very, very out in left field on this one. We now have two pensions where I work. The state pension and a new Union one that was voted in despite protests. I brought to the attention of the members that this same pension on the East Coast is going bankrupt and they said "Yeah, but that's the East Coast."

At 4:20 collective bargaining is a right? At least Rick Berman was quick to point out that collective bargaining is a privilege. Yet no one was on the ball to point out that rights outside of life liberty and the pursuit of happiness is nothing short of neo Marxism.

At 5:00 Mr. Pawlik says that governors are attempting to balance the budget on the backs of middle class workers. Does anyone else sense the seeds of class warfare? Neo Marxism? A humongous pack of lie after lie to justify a completely out of touch reality?

At 7:18, David Callahan speaks of the rich getting richer, financial collapse driven by Wall Street greed, and more on the backs of workers. Just more class warfare rhetoric. More Marxism. Later, Why not raise taxes, shared sacrifice. Marxism, Marxism.

Anyways, back to the Union I am in. Matt Kibbe at least was right in that government workers make more that private workers. I can say that I will not stand with that, or any Union. I looked for ways to get out but, thanks to laws in the state of Washington, I cannot. They say that being forced to join a Union makes is a "workers rights" state. What about the "right" to not join the Union. No one thought of that one.

I could spew rhetoric all day long about this but then I would sound just like everyone on T.V., social networking, and politics. I personally would rather "cut through the red tape" and get right to the heart of the matter. All of these things are just rotten fruit on the dying tree. We all keep picking the fruit and complaining that it's rotten instead of watering and pruning the tree. What is the tree? Study our history. It is the upholding of Judeo-Christian values. It is the foundation of real Christianity that changes the heart of man. It's what made George Washington, John Adams, Samuel Adams, and George Whitefield. It's what made the greatest nation ever.

It's not Christianity the way we know it in America now. That has proven itself dead. Its fruits are dead and the nation is falling around it. Its god is the church and all they can do within its walls. Its god is getting fat off of the scraps of blessing we still frantically cling too. Its god is in the belly.

American Christianity no longer serves the true God that changes the heart, God of the living, that rends the soul of man and makes him a man of honor and virtue. God that awaits humility and obedience. God that gave Ten COMMANDMENTS and says You will be Holy as I am Holy.

America, all this rhetoric and rotten fruit is just the inevitable result of our failure to honor God. We say we are a Christian nation and just look at what we do. Look at how pathetic and hypocritical our churches have become. IN THIS WE SLANDER THE NAME OF GOD.

"...for You have exalted above all else Your name and Your word and You have magnified Your word above all Your name!" Psalm 138:2b

America, return to God for it is our only hope. If we don't, then anything we receive in judgment is just and from the Lord. Like Thomas Jefferson I tremble for my country when I realize that God is a just God.

Except the Lord builds the house, they labor in vain to build it; except the Lord keeps the city, the watchman wakes but in vain. Psalm 127:1

This movement labors in vain if it labors without the penitent blessings of God. This situation we find ourselves in is the basic warning given all nations that have turned their backs to Christ. The only people to blame for this are we the people in the pews who are no longer hot nor cold and have turned from their first love to embrace the cheap grace of pseudo-post modern American "Christianity".

"These people draw near Me with their mouths and honor Me with their lips, but their hearts hold off and are far away from Me. Uselessly do they worship Me, for the teach as doctrines the commands of men." Matthew 15:8-9

It's time we drew near to God once again that He might draw near to us. It's time we repented for the Kingdom of God is near.

"but I will be hallowed among the Israelites. I am the Lord. Who consecrates and makes you holy." Leviticus 22:32b

I have personally come to believe that Gods grace does not extend as far as many I know hope it does. I have embraced a renewed fear of God which has led to a renewed reverence and service. We must remember that it was not the grace of God, or the love of God, or the mercy of God that is the basis of our faith. The Bible says that it is fear of the Lord which is the beginning of knowledge. If we think that we can buy the hope that only He can give with what Deitrich Bonhoeffer called cheap grace we are sorely mistaken. Consecration and sanctification are the key requirements no longer taught in churches. We are no longer under the law but under grace, true indeed. But the New Testament writers say we still have requirements as Christians.

Pray for a revival. It is our only hope. It MUST start in the church.

The new Congress convened. The new Republican controlled Congress. Their first act: read the Constitution. History will remember this moment that the defining rule of law spelled out by our revered Founding Fathers was read to the people who are supposed to uphold it. What history probably won't remember is that it was edited. I also have heard that many congressmen and women just left during the reading, only showing up to read their parts to an almost empty congressional hall.

Score one for the Republicans.

For some sick and demented reason I have a feeling that this is all business as usual in the government. I observe that our TEA Party patriots on their first outing became TEA Party cowards. I must be morbid huh? Just a dream killer and a hope dasher. Perhaps I should explain a bit then. Maybe bring you into my dark hovel of doom with me where we can hide from the sun and sulk in self pity.

I hope you realize that I'm being rhetorical with all this (My wife hates it when I do that). I have a "bad" habit of questioning everything and trusting no one except God alone. I have an even "worse" habit of not listening to peoples words but observing and judging their actions. Sometimes people hate that, especially when they want to borrow money and you point out that you won't give them any because they spend it irresponsibly (*Cough* Congress). 

"America is great because she is good. If America ceases to be good, America will cease to be great."  Alexis de Tocqueville

If this is the evidence, then what would be the case brought before it? We are good because we are nice to people? We are good because we have an enablement welfare program? We are good because we feel everyone has a "right" to not be disagreed with or offended? We are good because in theory we have unending personal liberty? We are good because we are a multicultural melting pot and accept all views as some form of post modern pantheism?

"Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other." John Adams.

"And He said to him. Why do you ask me about the perfectly and essentially good? There is only One Who is good-God. If you enter into the Life, you must keep the commandments." Jesus Christ (Matt. 19:17).

So we have here morality and religion from John Adams. Then we have the Son of God saying only God is good and we must do His commandments.

.......getting out my pen......connecting the dots.....

Has anyone heard of GOProud? They are gay Republicans. In fact when they were invited to a recent Republican gathering other groups bowed out. I would like to pause here and be clear that I am not against homosexuals. I believe that in America a person has that right. I do, however, stand firm on what the Bible teaches about homosexuality. My concern is more with the direction of conservativism in modern America.

What if while you slept someone quickly pulled the foundation out from underneath your house. It would be like pulling a table cloth off a table set for dinner. Conservative values come from Judeo-Christian thinking. You cannot have honest conservative views without a Judeo-Christian foundation. That is where those views came from. With this foundation gone a person has become a hypocrite. Like the Pharisee, they claim a religion but do not have the heart to stomach the Son of God. They clean the outside of the cup, yet inside they are ravening wolves. They are tombs painted white and pretty on the outside, yet inside they are full of dead mans bones. They are not good. That is why they will never make America great. It seems the neo-conservative movement in America nowadays wants to have it's cake and eat it too. They want to claim conservative values yet have no Christian honor, character, self discipline, or willingness to sacrifice. No principles will lead to arbitrary rule by arbitrary blindness. In reality it's all a sham. In application it is impossible.

How did we miss this? May I suggest that we forgot the quintessential truth that every evangelist teaches.

"Jesus answered him, I assure you, that unless a person is born again (anew, from above), he cannot ever see (know, be acquainted with, and experience) the kingdom of God." John 3:3 Amplified.

When George Whitefield (The original founding father) came to America, he looked at the state of the church in disgust. He said to the congregations that their pastors were not doing what the Bible said so his obvious conclusion was that they were not born again. If they weren't born again then they shouldn't be shepherding the flock. They threw him out, so he went out to the streets, held revivals in town squares where 30,000 people would show up and fall in tears humbly before God. His powerful response from those outside the church was beacause those outside looked in and saw how fake it was. Church attendance at that time was waining. People aren't dumb. They can smell a hypocrite a mile away. B.J. Shea on Seattles KISW rock station will tear religion up and down on his show at times. I am a man who believes in the redeeming power of the blood shed by Jesus Christ and every word of the Bible, still, I find myself agreeing with him. When are we going to live it in humility and not rely on what Dietrich Bonhoeffer call cheap grace. We should rejoice if walking with Christ costs us everything.

Whitefield's conclusion was an obvious one when you understand the principle of being born again. When You are born again, the blood that Christ shed on the cross washes you clean of sin. When you are washed clean of sin the Spirit of God can come and rest within you, leading you in the Truth and convicting you of sin. Therefore, if the Spirit of God has also been called the Spirit of Truth, then His leading should be leading you into the Truth. If you are being led into the Truth then you are doers of the Word and not hearers only. Faith without works is dead faith. Works without faith is religious hypocrisy.

We sit and await heroes to come and make this country great again. We want that but don't want the responsibility of laying aside our sin and coming humbly before our God. We are fighting a spiritual battle by means of the flesh. Not only that, if we claim to be a Christian nation and do not uphold that standard we are slandering the name of God. A serious offense that makes me cringe at the thought. If that is the case then our judgment will be much more severe. Perhaps what is happening now is a wake up call just before that judgment may, or may not come. The decision is up to us. Turn back to God or reap what we sow.

Republicans will not save us. Only a relationship with Jesus Christ will save us.
