“The future makeup of the U.S. Supreme Court has received little attention this election, despite the fact that four justices are in their 70s and are divided on a whole range of critical issues — including abortion and potentially gay marriage.”
This is a quote from Michael Foust of “The Baptist Press.”
Are you one of the 50% of voting age Americans who call themselves “Christian” and are not registered to vote? If so, may I ask why?

“New research adds to an ever-lengthening stream of discoveries that confirm exactly what a Bible-believing scientist would expect—humans are distinct from chimpanzees. They should be, if they were created in the image of God, not as an imaginary pre-human primate. The study, published in American Journal of Human Genetics, investigated DNA methylation patterning in human and chimpanzee brains.1 Two observations from this research support the biblical origins of mankind.”

“On Nov. 6, America will go to the polls and elect the next president as well as members of the House and Senate. In advance of this vote, most Americans believe that the chief issue facing the country is the ailing economy. I want to make the case that this thinking is wrong-headed and that the transcendent issue of this election is abortion.”
This begins an article by Denny Burk published today on the Bible Prophecy Blog. Mr. Burk Makes a good case for the title of his article. You can read his article HERE.
Anyone who knows me knows how I feel about abortion. It is an unavoidable topic.

“I will meditate in thy precepts.” Ps 119:15
There are times when solitude is better than society, and silence is wiser than speech. We should be better Christians if we were more alone, waiting upon God, and gathering through meditation on his Word spiritual strength for labour in his service. We ought to muse upon the things of God, because we thus get the real nutriment out of them. Truth is something like the cluster of the vine: if we would have wine from it, we must bruise it; we must press and squeeze it many times. The bruiser’s feet must come down joyfully upon the bunches, or else the juice will not flow; and they must well tread the grapes, or else much of the precious liquid will be wasted. So we must, by meditation, tread the clusters of truth, if we would get the wine of consolation therefrom. Our bodies are not supported by merely taking food into the mouth, but the process which really supplies the muscle, and the nerve, and the sinew, and the bone, is the process of digestion. It is by digestion that the outward food becomes assimilated with the inner life. Our souls are not nourished merely by listening awhile to this, and then to that, and then to the other part of divine truth. Hearing, reading, marking, and learning, all require inwardly digesting to complete their usefulness, and the inward digesting of the truth lies for the most part in meditating upon it. Why is it that some Christians, although they hear many sermons, make but slow advances in the divine life? Because they neglect their closets, and do not thoughtfully meditate on God’s Word. They love the wheat, but they do not grind it; they would have the corn, but they will not go forth into the fields to gather it; the fruit hangs upon the tree, but they will not pluck it; the water flows at their feet, but they will not stoop to drink it. From such folly deliver us, O Lord, and be this our resolve this morning, “I will meditate in thy precepts.”
Charles Haddon Spurgeon (1834-92)

I have the article discussed here, but I haven’t gotten to it yet. It doesn’t matter whether you are able to read the article mentioned here or not, there is a great deal of information about Zion in this short discussion between Gary and Bob.

WASHINGTON, D.C., October 8, 2012, (LifeSiteNews.com) – Vowing to put their alleegiance to the Gospel ahead of their tax-exempt status, more than 1,500 pastors from coast to coast challenged IRS regulations by endorsing candidates from the pulpit on Sunday.
As of this writing 1,586 churches have been recorded taking part in Pulpit Freedom Sunday, an initiative led by the Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF).

Ironically, it was a Jewish Mr. Kissinger who, in 1973, won the Nobel Peace Prize. I don’t care how many prizes Mr. Kissinger has won; he is wrong on this one.

Here is an article that quotes Mr. Kissinger.

“Planned Parenthood gained access to our children by claiming to be interested in reducing teen pregnancy. Yet Planned Parenthood promotes teen sex and promiscuity, which is the direct cause of teen pregnancy. They are not in the business of ‘women’s health’ as they claim. They are in the business of sex, pure and simple. They have even published a ‘Young People’s Guide to Sexual Rights’ which states on page 14 that ‘All young people are entitled to sexual well-being and pleasure,’” the parents say.

Mysticism is creeping into all mainline Protestant denominations that I’ve looked at. It is very hard to believe this is happening, but it is. This interview with Ken Silva communicates some of the basics of mysticism.

Decision by Netanyahu, Barak to Strike Iran is Almost Final — Israel TV
October 17, 2012“Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Ehud Barak have “almost finally” decided on an Israeli strike at Iran’s nuclear facilities this fall, and a final decision will be taken “soon,” Israel’s main TV news broadcast reported on Friday evening.
Channel 2 News, the country’s leading news program, devoted much of its Friday night broadcast to the issue, detailing the pros and cons that, it said, have taken Netanyahu and Barak to the brink of approving an Israeli military attack despite opposition from the Obama administration and from many Israeli security chiefs.”
It is not surprising to me that the mainstream media in Israel is discussing possible military action. Another article I read (link below) details just how many in Israel see Mr. Obama’s talk being only that.
One may see the rest of this article here.
The article titled “Obama only ‘talks the talk'” may be seen here.
