FULL OF SONG

May 1, 2010

When sin is pardoned, our greatest sorrow is ended, and our truest pleasure begins. Such is the joy which the Lord bestows upon His reconciled ones, that it overflows and fills all nature with delight. The material world has latent music in it, and a renewed heart knows how to bring it out and make it vocal. Creation is the organ, and a gracious man finds out its keys, lays his hand thereon, and wakes the whole system of the universe to the harmony of praise. Mountains and hills, and other great objects, are, as it were, the bass of the chorus; while the trees of the wood, and all things that have life, take up the air of the melodious song.

When God’s Word is made to prosper among us and souls are saved, then everything seems full of song. When we hear the confessions of young believers and the testimonies of well-instructed saints, we are made so happy that we must praise the Lord, and then it seems as if rocks and hills and woods and fields echo our joy-notes and turn the world into an orchestra. Lord, on this happy May Day, lead me out into thy tuneful world as rich in praise as a lark in full song.

Written by Charles H. Spurgeon


GOOGLE “GEORGE WASHINGTON” – GET 74 MILLION HITS, GOOGLE “NEW WORLD ORDER” – GET 276 MILLION HITS

May 1, 2010

……..Have you ever read a good article with a poorly chosen title?  I stumbled on one about a popular “conspiracy theory.”  The article is balanced and informative.  The title doesn’t fit the piece well, but that’s O.K.  It’s hard to find a good article about the “New World Order,” a term our leaders have been using for years.  I didn’t know that Pres. Bush #1 used the term so frequently until fairly recently.

The Bible tells of a time ahead when there will be a consolidation of power.  One doesn’t need to listen hard these days to hear terms like “world constitution,” “one world community,” and “New World Order.”  The technology to create such an “Order” wasn’t available when Herbert Walker Bush used the term in his speeches.  It now is.

The thing that must be conquered to achieve such an “Order” is the resolve of the people.  For those, like myself, who believe that consolidation of power is eventually certain, the true battlefield lies in the willingness of man to give up his rights in exchange for certain promises.

The final terminology for the consolidation may not be “The New World Order,” however, this term certainly stirs the emotions of many, particularly those who see it described in the pages of scripture.

Read this article and decide upon your own title:

RADICAL ISLAM IS ON THE MOVE

April 30, 2010

This week the Middle East took center stage in much of the news. There is no doubt that radical Islamists have big plans.  Words of war are in the wind.  I usually keep an eye on events surrounding Israel.  This week, everything seems amplified.

The Bible says that a Jewish Temple will be built on the Temple Mount.  Everyone has seen pictures, like the one above, of the Muslim building on the mount in Jerusalem.  Biblical prophecy has been 100% correct to this point.  I believe that unfulfilled prophecies, like the one about the next temple,  will be no different.

The radical Muslims will be turned back, at least enough to allow the Jews to build their temple.  At present, this prophecy seems impossible.  Israel is losing support from those who formerly had strong ties with the little country.  The story of America’s support of Israel is not yet complete, but the Obama administration has a very bad record to this point.

Will the temple be built next to the mosque currently on the mount?  I heard a recent interview with the man in charge of making the implements for the new Jewish temple.  That’s right.  The religious Jews are also planning.  In the interview, the head of the Temple Institute said that the temple will stand alone on the Temple Mount.  There will be no mosque. Is he correct?  I don’t know, but I lean towards his view.

The following statement was made this week by a Hindu who has lived through recent history; a story that everyone should know.

Chris Reimers

Brothers and Sisters: Shalom:

I feel privileged and honored for your giving me an opportunity to speak before you. I am really thankful to the organizers of this Rally. I am living in this country for the last 40 years. America has given me freedom of religion and liberty of expression. Unlike Islamic nations, the American government does not force its citizen to accept Islam or say they would be killed or driven out of that country if they do not.

Dear friends like many Jewish people I am also the victim of Islamic Jihad. I am the survivor of the Partition of India that took place in 1947. I was 17 years old when Islamists forced Hindus to divide British India into two parts in 1947 Hindu India and Islamic Pakistan.

I was living in that part of India which is now called Pakistan . Since I was a Hindu, my life was made miserable by Islamic police and Islamic militia. I was hounded out by Radical Islamists. Many of my friends and colleagues were singled out, chased and brutally killed. Thousands of Hindu and Sikh girls were gang raped by fanatic Islamists. More than 10 million Hindus and Sikhs were driven out of the region that is now called Pakistan .

In 1947, there were 23% Hindus living there in Pakistan . Today the Hindu population in Pakistan has been reduced to 1% in just 60 years. All the others have been ethnically cleansed.

The same thing happened in Bangladesh . The Hindu population has been reduced from 35% in 1947 to 9% in 2010. More than 400,000 Hindus were driven out in 1989 from Indian ruled Kashmir . These Hindus are living as refugees in their own country.

Today we Hindus are here to express our sympathy and support to Israelis who are surrounded by militant and fanatic Islamic nations armed with deadly weapons. Islamic nations want to wipe out Israel from the world map. Let me tell you, Israel is the frontier of the free World. Once we lose Israel , we lose the free world. I repeat, once we lose Israel , we lose the free world.

The cowardly and politically correct media and its apologists have no idea as to what they are dealing with. It is not just Jerusalem the Islamists are claiming; they are claiming Kashmir, Chechnya, Philippines, Sudan, Nigeria, Londonistan, Parts of France, Spain, Belgium, Holland and several other countries and eventually the whole world. They want all of us to surrender. They want to subjugate all of us. They want to plant the Islamic flag in London , They want to plant the Islamic flag at in Washington . They have openly stated that they want to establish the supremacy of Allah all over the USA , in India , in Israel and everywhere else. Dear Brothers and Sisters, we have to resolutely and unitedly face this menace of terrorism.

We both Hindus and Israelis are the oldest surviving civilizations. We both have been the victims of Islamic terrorism for more than a thousand year. Hence, we both are the natural allies.

At the moment Israeli is under attack by radical Islamists. Israel is the only democratic country in the Middle East . It has every right to exist. We fully support Israel s right to exist as a free nation within its rightful borders.

GOD BLESS AMERICA!

GIVING GOVERNMENT TOO MUCH CONTROL – A CARTOON MAKER KNEW THE COST IN 1948

April 30, 2010

Thanks for the submission J.B.

“What can a cartoon produced in 1948 teach us today???”

This question came with the e-mail that I received.  Our Constitution is only as good as our understanding of it.  The big blue hand at the end of the cartoon is what we’ll be facing if we don’t get together and decide that nothing comes without a cost. -CR

WHAT HAPPENED TO BILLY GRAHAM?

April 26, 2010

…………………..The Rev. Billy Graham was in the news yesterday.  I remember, as a young man, watching Mr. Graham make wonderful, straightforward attempts at helping people better understand God’s Word.

During what were known as crusades, over many years, he asked people in different parts of the world to make a personal commitment to the God of the Bible.

I would never criticize any Christian for praying with or for anyone.  Mr. Obama has just met for prayer with Mr. Graham at his North Carolina home.

The Bible teaches us that we are to pray not only for our friends but for our enemies as well.  No matter what Mr. Graham’s thoughts are about Mr. Obama, he should be willing to pray with and for him.  Rev. Graham has graciously welcomed our chosen leader to his home for just that purpose.

I will not question Mr. Obama’s motives.  I think, however, that Mr. Obama is aware of Mr. Graham’s latest views on Christianity.  I think that Mr. Obama would agree, unfortunately, with the statement that Rev. Graham made to Dr. Schuller in the you tube video posted below.

Some might blame Mr. Graham’s “newest” statements on old age.  Unfortunately, Mr. Graham’s interview with Dr. Schuller, one whose teachings are filled with new age and heretical doctrine, occurred at a time when the evangelist’s mind was clear.

Sadly, Mr. Graham’s beliefs have changed over time.  Listening to later interviews, like the one noted in this video with Robert Schuller, Billy Graham sounds nothing like his former self.

You don’t have to watch an entire sermon to get the idea that Rev. Graham was once fearless when it came  to sharing his faith and trust in the Words of the Bible.  I have included an interview that he did with Woody Allen.  Rev. Graham’s stand is clearly evident in the interview.  You will note, in the interview, that Mr. Graham makes it clear that it is not his word that matters, it is God’s Word.  He is, of course, referring to the Bible.

In later years, Mr. Graham evidently changed his philosophy.   He has made statements that rely on his own opinion, those that are not consistent with simple, Biblical teachings.

Some say that Billy Graham’s past evangelistic work has been a waste.  I disagree. I have heard many of his messages.  Until the last few decades, Mr. Graham’s gospel message seemed clear and correct.  He communicated it well. Many people came to understand the truth of the Gospel message.

Once a dashing and uncompromising man of God, Mr. Graham is now old and ill.  I understand that his mind could easily be affected by his age.  However, many of his questionable statements were made before his recent frailties.

I think Mr. Graham is representative of what has happened in our culture in recent times.  We are entering an age of “tolerance.”  The message: we must accept all faiths as equal to the one gifted to us in the Bible.  There is a problem with this message.  The Bible articulates one truth.  Mr. Graham preached this truth valiantly for years.  The one thing that many people don’t want to tolerate today is the message that Billy Graham preached clearly for decades.

Tolerance only represents love when the truth is communicated with it.  A tolerance that negates scriptural truth becomes something, in a word, that is being removed from the language of the new millennium: sin.
