It’s so nice to be in contact with Barbara Anable once again. She sent me this and I had to put it up. As Barbara said: “This is an amazing and beautiful video!” How can one watch this and not think of our wonderful Creator God.
This video made me think of THIS ARTICLE CALLED “Secrets from the Most Distant Galaxy.”
Enjoy both.

“Thou art from everlasting.” Ps 93:2
Christ is EVERLASTING. Of him we may sing with David, “Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever.” Rejoice, believer, in Jesus Christ, the same yesterday, today, and for ever. Jesus always was. The Babe born in Bethlehem was united to the Word, which was in the beginning, by whom all things were made. The title by which Christ revealed himself to John in Patmos was, “Him which is, and which was, and which is to come.” If he were not God from everlasting, we could not so devoutly love him; we could not feel that he had any share in the eternal love which is the fountain of all covenant blessings; but since he was from all eternity with the Father, we trace the stream of divine love to himself equally with his Father and the blessed Spirit. As our Lord always was, so also he is for evermore. Jesus is not dead; “He ever liveth to make intercession for us.” Resort to him in all your times of need, for he is waiting to bless you still. Moreover, Jesus our Lord ever shall be. If God should spare your life to fulfill your full day of threescore years and ten, you will find that his cleansing fountain is still opened, and his precious blood has not lost its power; you shall find that the Priest who filled the healing fount with his own blood, lives to purge you from all iniquity. When only your last battle remains to be fought, you shall find that the hand of your conquering Captain has not grown feeble. The living Saviour shall cheer the dying saint. When you enter heaven you shall find him there bearing the dew of his youth; and through eternity the Lord Jesus shall still remain the perennial spring of joy, and life, and glory to his people. Living waters may you draw from this sacred well! Jesus always was, he always is, he always shall be. He is eternal in all his attributes, in all his offices, in all his might, and willingness to bless, comfort, guard, and crown his chosen people.
C.H.Spurgeon

I would like to thank Susan Carriere for posting this on my Facebook page.
TO ALL THE KIDS WHO SURVIVED The 1930′s 40′s, 50′s, 60′s and 70′s.
First, we survived being born to mothers who smoked and/or drank while they carried us.
They took aspirin, ate blue cheese dressing, tuna from a can, and didn’t get tested for diabetes.
Then after that trauma, our baby cribs were covered with bright colored lead-based paints.
We had no childproof lids on medicine bottles, doors or cabinets and when we rode our bikes, we had no helmets, not to mention, the risks we took hitchhiking.
As children, we would ride in cars with no seat belts or air bags.
Riding in the back of a pick up on a warm day was always a special treat.
We drank water from the garden hose and NOT from a bottle.
We shared one soft drink with four friends, from one bottle and NO ONE actually died from this.
We ate cupcakes, white bread and real butter and drank soda pop with sugar in it, but we weren’t overweight because WE WERE ALWAYS OUTSIDE PLAYING!
We would leave home in the morning and play all day, as long as we were back when the streetlights came on.
No one was able to reach us all day. And we were O.K.
We would spend hours building our go-carts out of scraps and then ride down the hill, only to find out we forgot the brakes. After running into the bushes a few times, we learned to solve the problem.
We did not have Playstations, Nintendo’s, X-boxes, no video games at all, no 99 channels on cable, no video tape movies, no surround sound, no cell phones, no personal computers, no Internet or Internet chat rooms……….WE HAD FRIENDS and we went outside and found them!
We fell out of trees, got cut, broke bones and teeth and there were no lawsuits from these accidents.
We ate worms and mud pies made from dirt, and the worms did not live in us forever.
We were given BB guns for our 10th birthdays, made up games with sticks and tennis balls and although we were told it would happen, we did not put out very many eyes.
We rode bikes or walked to a friend’s house and knocked on the door or rang the bell, or just walked in and talked to them!
Little League had tryouts and not everyone made the team. Those who didn’t had to learn to deal with disappointment. Imagine that!!
The idea of a parent bailing us out if we broke the law was unheard of. They actually sided with the law!
This generation has produced some of the best risk-takers, problem solvers and inventors ever!
The past 50 years have been an explosion of innovation and new ideas.
We had freedom, failure, success and responsibility, and we learned HOW TO DEAL WITH IT ALL!
You might want to share this with others who have had the luck to grow up as kids, before the lawyers and the government regulated our lives for our own good.
And while you are at it, forward it to your kids so they will know how brave their parents were.
Kind of makes you want to run through the house with scissors, doesn’t it?!
———————————-
My comment:
Born in 1958, my childhood was much like the one described here by Susan. The reason for the bike is that I had one that was similar except that it was green. It was sorely missed when it was stolen from our driveway one day. This is the year that prayer was removed from our public schools by the Supreme Court. Growing up in California, I never heard a Christian prayer in class. I am blessed to have had a wonderful childhood, however. I wish I had a picture of the tree house that my Dad and I made in our backyard tree. I added the “burglar alarm” which was quite dangerous. One of the three ladders needed to reach the 2nd floor of the tree house was from an old pool. It had metal rungs. I unfastened one of the rungs, tied a string to it, and a few pulleys later a water bucket would spill onto a metal “runway” and douse whoever might still be clinging to the tree. I usually kept my “trap” safe by keeping the bolt in the side tied to the string. Just about lost a neighbor one day though.

Mr. Peters does a great job of discussing some of the WOF teachers that I have put up in another post by Keith Thompson. Thank you to Narrowing Path for posting and sharing this information. Also, Thank you to Floating on Tiptoes, where this video originated.

MAYBE HIS FINAL MESSAGE TO AMERICA
Anyone who has read my blog has seen the good and the bad posts about Mr. Graham. I think Mr. Graham has finished strong with an uncompromising message of the Gospel. “The cross is offensive…” I couldn’t agree more Mr. Graham. I say “well done.”
What do you think?

“Scientists previously uncovered fossil algae in Archean rocks—evidence of life in a period that evolutionists date from 3.0 to 3.5 billion years ago.1 At that supposed time, the sun would have been 70 percent less luminous compared to today, making Earth’s surface icy and uninhabitable.
But if those rocks are truly 3.0 to 3.5 billion years old, the meager solar energy delivered by the younger Sun at that time would have prevented algae or any other life form from growing.”
You may read the rest of the article HERE.
My comment:
In the end, as I’ve mentioned many times, my faith is based on the Word of God. However, it is always nice to have evidence to show that fossil algae are not 3.5 billion years old and fit a young earth scenario well.

I first saw this either on one of the blogs I visit or in a Bible study group that I’m involved in online. Some see it as controversial. I think it’s a good example of the heart of many “Christians” that have lost their way. This parody/satire is true in so many ways and, unfortunately, evident in the lives of many “believers.”

The Air Force Academy is considering dropping the phrase “so help me God” from its oath after atheist Mickey Weinstein and his Military Religious Freedom Foundation (MRFF) filed a complaint.
The Academy’s oath is: “We will not lie, steal or cheat nor tolerate among us anyone who does. Furthermore, I resolve to do my duty and live honorably, so help me God.”
You can read the rest of the article HERE.
My comment:
Academy Public Affairs Director Maj. Brus Vidal said that “at present, the phrase ‘so help me God’ remains as part of the oath. Vidal told the Air Force Times they could: 1) make no change 2) make the God part optional or 3) strike the entire oath.”
My brother graduated from the Air Force Academy. He is a Christian who worked hard to get into the academy. It took him an extra year of diligent study after high school to get accepted. My family had no special political connections. My brother had to earn his recommendations with his own efforts. The neighborhood knew that my brother was preparing for something as he woke early in the morning, put on his heavy army boots, and ran through the streets of West Covina, California. I always admired his ability to run the endurance races (cross-country). I think the fastest I ever ran a mile took 7 minutes.
When one individual can file an email complaint about this subject and have Academy Superintendent Lt. Gen. Michelle Johnson respond to it in just over an hour, there is a major problem. According to the article, The Superintendent told “Weinstein immediately (that she) had a poster that contained the oath removed from a prep school wall (at his request) and that the Academy would consider removing ‘so help me God’ from its oath.”
At this time of year, I should be putting up something about the scary nature of our world as Halloween approaches. I submit that this article is evidence that another frightening event seems to be occurring at one of the greatest military training institutions in this country. What could be more scary than that?

I listened to this message with a group of Christian friends last night. I had never heard Pastor Mbewe’s speak before. The part that I heard left the impression that the man tells it like it is. I would like to thank Narrowing path for reblogging this from The Cripplegate blog.
For those who are unable to view the free live stream of the Strange Fire Conference here at Grace Community Church, I thought I would do my best to provide a written summary of the various sessions as they unfold (Session One; Session Two; Session Three). I’m not sure how long I’ll be able to keep this up, or if I’ll be able to other sessions (check out Tim Challie’s blog for his coverage) But I thought a little would be better than nothing. It provides us with a helpful opportunity to interact with what is actually being said at the conference. Having said that, the following was…

Wings of the Wind 
MY MEETING WITH NELSON MANDELA
December 6, 2013This autobiography is taken from Amazon.com. Dr. Hammond has written several books and one of them is featured there. I learned of Dr. Hammond from a theological discussion group with many Romanians and others in which I am involved. In the research I did on Dr. Hammon, I only found one link that appeared negative. My computer security would not allow it to be shown. As there is another Dr. Hammond of note, I’m not sure which one the negative post referred to anyway. This forum is open to any who would like to add their knowledge of Dr. Hammond or of Mr. Mandela. This article from the NEW AMERICAN lends a bit more credibility to Dr. Hammond’s comments.

“The official government of Sudan, Ministry of Foreign Affairs website includes an article that declares that missionary Peter “Hammond should expect to be bombed when he comes to Sudan … he should expect to be shot on sight”!
“Dr. Peter Hammond is a missionary who has pioneered evangelistic outreaches in the war zones of Mozambique, Angola and Sudan. Often travelling by off road motorbike, Peter has travelled hundreds of thousands of miles to deliver Bibles to persecuted Christians in Africa and Eastern Europe. In the course of his missionary activities Peter has been ambushed, come under aerial and artillery bombardments, been stabbed, shot at, beaten by mobs, arrested and imprisoned. On some mission trips he has flown far behind enemy lines to the beleaguered Nuba Mountains in Central Sudan with tonnes of Bibles, books and relief aid. He has then walked throughout the war devastated Nuba Mountains showing the Jesus film in Arabic, proclaiming the Gospel, training pastors and evading enemy patrols.
“Rev. Peter Hammond is the Founder and Director of Frontline Fellowship, the Founder and Chairman of Africa Christian Action, the Director of the Christian Action Network and the Chairman of The Reformation Society. He is the author of The Greatest Century of Missions, Faith Under Fire in Sudan, Holocaust in Rwanda, the Great Commission Manual, Faith in Action, Putting Feet to Your Faith, In the Killing Fields of Mozambique, Biblical Principles for Africa, the Discipleship Handbook, Slavery, Terrorism and Islam – the Historical Roots and Contemporary Threat and The Greatest Century of Reformation and the Power of Prayer Handbook. In addition he has co-authored or contributed to: Fight for Life, Make a Difference, The Pink Agenda and South Africa – Renaissance or Reformation?, Character Assassins – dealing with Ecclesiastical Tyrants and Terrorists and Reforming Our Families. He is the Editor of both Frontline Fellowship News and Christian Action.
“For over 26 years, Peter has been dedicated to assisting persecuted Christians and to working for Reformation and revival in Africa. Peter has developed the Biblical Worldview Seminar and Great Commission Course to mobilise Churches to comprehensively apply the Lordship of Christ to all areas of life and to fulfill the Great Commission.
“Peter was born in Cape Town (in 1960) and brought up in Bulawayo (in what was then war torn Rhodesia – now Zimbabwe). He was converted to Christ in 1977, worked in Scripture Union and Hospital Christian Fellowship, served in the South African Defence Force and studied at Baptist Theological College, Cape Town. He also earned a Doctorate in Missiology and has an honourary Doctorate of Divinity. Peter is married to Lenora (whose missionary parents Rev. Bill and Harriett Bathman, have pioneered missionary work into Eastern Europe for over 55 years). Peter and Lenora have been blessed with four children: Andrea, Daniela, Christopher and Calvin, whom they homeschool.
Here is the interview with Dr. Hammond, who met with Mr. Mandela personally:

PART II
A SOURCE ON MR. MANDELA AND ABORTION
A SOURCE ON MR. MANDELA AND COMMUNISM
I must admit that I didn’t know much of what is stated by Dr. Hammond or information contained in the other two links here. I could have included other links that were also found. What do you think?

After receiving THIS VIDEO from my friend Delight in Truth, I checked out one of the claims made. Sure enough, Nelson Mandela did write an essay called “How to be a Good Communist.” You can see it HERE.
