Will the United States Reap the French Whirlwind?

Will the United States Reap the French Whirlwind?

If it’s not this unconstitutional and godless administration advocating criminal activity in one form or another (global warming, abortion, homosexuality, Fast and Furious, etc.), then they are funding the crime through taxpayers money. Read that line again.

In some ways it is not so much what the American people are sowing, but it is what they are letting this godless administration sow by force into a field they want everyone to harvest with them – like it or not. And if the American people are to stand back and allow this totalitarianism, then they are guilty of perpetuating this evil by refusing to stand against it.

Let me give you an analogy:

One day the master of Lukman, an Eastern fabulist, said to him, “Go into such a field, and sow barley.” Lukman sowed oats instead. At the time of harvest his master went to the place and, seeing the green oats springing up, asked him:

“Did I not tell you to sow barley here? Why, then, have you sown oats?”

He answered, “I sowed oats in the hope that barley would grow up.”

His master said, “What foolish idea is this? Have you ever heard of the like?”

Lukman replied, “You yourself are constantly sowing in the field of the world the seeds of evil, and yet expect to reap in the resurrection day the fruits of virtue. Therefore I thought, also, I might get barley by sowing oats.”

The master was abashed at the reply and set Lukman free.

Oh how history will repeat itself if we do not learn from it.

Past history

What has become of the monarchies and empires of the world? What brought ruin on Babylon? Her king and people would not obey God, and ruin came upon them. What has become of Greece and all her powers? She once ruled the world.

Look at the history of America. With an open Bible, our forefathers planted slavery; but judgment came at last. In the Civil War, there was not a family North or South that didn’t mourn over someone taken from them.

Take the case of France. It is said that in the 1700s, men were spending millions every year in France in the publication and distribution of infidel literature. What was the harvest? Has France not reaped? Mark the result: The Bible was suppressed. God was denied. Hell broke loose – more than a million people were beheaded, shot or drowned between September 1792 and December 1795.

From that time France had 13 revolutions in 80 years; and in the republic there was an overturn of power on an average of once every nine months. One-third of the births in Paris were illegitimate; 10,000 newborn infants had been fished out at the outlet of the city sewers in a single year; the native population of France decreased; the percentage of suicides were greater in Paris than in any city in Christendom; and after the French Revolution there were enough French men and women slaughtered in the streets of Paris in the various insurrections to average more than 2,500 each year!

Let’s take a look at present America and see if she is making the same mistakes that others failed to learn:

Obama Reaps What He Sows

Obama Reaps What He Sows

This week Obama’s ex-political mentor, Alice Palmer, an avowed communist, is returning to haunt him for his unlawful activities during his political career. This proves the famous, unchangeable law of sowing and reaping – his actions are blowing up in his face. Let me explain.

There is a true story told of two men who thought it would be OK to break the law and go duck hunting two weeks before the season opened. They took with them a retriever, a brand new truck, decoys, plenty of ammunition and a couple sticks of dynamite. When they first arrived at the lake they noticed a big problem: The lake they chose was frozen over.

One of them had a great idea. He would go to his truck, get a stick of dynamite, blow a big hole in the middle of the lake, throw down the decoys and then have a heyday shooting all the little duckies. So he did just that. He went to his truck, pulled out the stick of dynamite, lit the fuse and then threw it right smack in the center of the lake.

However, he forgot one thing; his retriever was there. As faithful as he was, he ran after the stick of dynamite, put it in his mouth and then ran toward his owner. The owner, in fear of being blown up, grabbed his rifle and began shooting at the retriever in hopes he would not come back to him. The retriever was scared away and ran right under the brand new truck.

Guess what blew up? You got it – the retriever and the brand new truck. His breaking of the law was the very thing that nipped him right in the butt. The things that blew up were the very evidence of his guilt.

And so it is with us every day. If you were to take a kernel of wheat and sow it into the soil, you would reap wheat. If you sow wheat, you will not reap barley. And in the same way, if you sow good seed you will reap good fruit; and bad seed, bad fruit. Yet there are some who think they can put one over on the Lord who sees all – they sow bad seeds into their lives and think they will reap a good harvest. How foolish!

If you sow lawlessness, then you will reap lawlessness. And that goes right in line with godlessness. You sow godlessness, and you reap hell – literally!

It is a fixed Law that you reap the same kind of seed that you sow. It is a Law unto itself. We might as well try to blot the sun out of the heavens as to blot this truth out of the Word of God!

In fact, your present-day circumstance is the fruit of your present-day field that you have sown. Good or bad.

You reap what you sow.

“Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.”

– Galatians 6:7-8

The analogy above speaks of us as individuals before God. Next week I will bring the law of sowing and reaping to a national level.

The video below gives actual accounts from history that prove God is not mocked, whether it is tyrants and dictators (Mussolini, etc.), men in the Bible (Herod, Pilate, etc.), or the Senate of Rome, which would not submit to Jesus Christ, the meek King of glory.

Obama’s Complicity in Exterminating Americans

Obama’s Complicity in Exterminating Americans

Planned Parenthood has released a pro-abortion prayer guide, urging their anti-life followers to pray for more abortions and calling it “sacred care.”

A flier promoting abortion by so-called religious leaders states, “We believe that human life is holy. That’s why we believe in your right to choose to be a parent or not.”

Also well-known is that Planned Parenthood’s twisted and blasphemous actions have been supported by President Obama.

I sent a letter to President Obama this week confronting his outspoken support of abortion:

“Mr. President, when you took your oath of office, you swore to ‘defend the Constitution of the United States, so help me God.’ When it comes to protecting life, you have blatantly disregarded the Constitution you swore to uphold. You also defied God, whom you asked to help you discharge the duties of your office. In specific, you advocate abortion, in direct violation of the Constitution and Common Law, which is based on the Mosaic Institution.”

In the letter, I gave statistics about Planned Parenthood.

“A little homework into Planned Parenthood finds they are no friend to women, families, men, or innocent children. Planned Parenthood’s founder, Margaret Sanger, was a eugenicist who said, ‘The most merciful thing a large family can do for one of its infant members is to kill it.’ Margaret was a member of the Socialist Party of America. The original name for Planned Parenthood was the American Birth Control League, but the name was too offensive so they decided to come up with Planned Parenthood – a name that made it seem they were out to help families rather than, as Margaret stated above, to kill their children.

“In 2009, Planned Parenthood murdered 332,278 babies. Meanwhile, Planned Parenthood provided prenatal services to merely 7,021 women and referred only 977 women for adoption services.”

Let’s turn our attention back to President Obama: “Regardless of the undeniably horrific facts about Planned Parenthood, you have persisted in praising this industry. You have even appointed advocates of abortion in key positions in your Cabinet, signed executive orders in support of abortion and appointed Supreme Court justices who would be sure to keep this blood-money-making industry in business.”

“The fact most devastating is that from the time of Roe v. Wade to now, every administration, including yours, has been responsible for the deaths of over 50 million babies – equivalent to exterminating the population of 18 states in America.”

Bradlee Dean: ‘Muslim in Chief’

Bradlee Dean: ‘Muslim in Chief’

 

“The Lord shall bring thee, and thy king which thou shalt set over thee, unto a nation which neither thou nor thy fathers have known; and there shalt thou serve other gods. …”
– Deuteronomy 28:36
 
If you thought the U.N. International Baccalaureate and federal No Child Left Behind educational schemes were bad enough, you might want to look a little deeper.
 
In light of the 9/11 attacks, you would think the current administration would use a little prudence if it were sincerely concerned about a radical Muslim threat. When Obama took his oath of office, he instead defied America in numerous ways. He has given $1.5 billion to Muslim-led Egypt in foreign aid, shortly after the Muslim Brotherhood declared war on the United States. This is the same man that said America is “no longer a Christian nation,” followed by a reference that America may be described as a Muslim nation.
 
Muslim indoctrination in public schools
 
Interestingly enough, in recent years American public schools have been indoctrinated with the Muslim religion. Studies have shown over 500 historical errors in public school textbooks, giving an Islamic slant to our youth.
 
As a result, our youth are subject to the following teachings and practices:
  • Learning to become a Muslim
  • Fasting for Ramadan
  • Learning about Ramadan, which is a special month of the year for over 1 billion Muslims throughout the world. It is a time for inner reflection, devotion to Allah and self-control.
  • Learning the five pillars of Islam:1. Shahadah, profession of faith, is the first pillar of Islam. Muslims bear witness to the oneness of God by reciting the creed, “There is no God but God and Muhammad is the Messenger of God.” 2. Salah, prayer, is the second pillar. The world’s Muslims turn individually and collectively to Mecca, Islam’s holiest city, to offer five daily prayers at dawn, noon, mid-afternoon, sunset and evening.
3. Zakat, almsgiving, is the third pillar. Social responsibility is considered part of one’s service to God; the obligatory act of zakat enshrines this duty.
4. Sawm, fasting during the holy month of Ramadan, is the fourth pillar of Islam.
5. Hajj, the pilgrimage to Mecca, is the fifth pillar and the most significant manifestation of Islamic faith and unity in the world. For those Muslims who are physically and financially able to make the journey, the Hajj is a once in a lifetime duty that is the peak of their religious life.
  • Memorizing verses of the Quran
  • Adopting a Muslim name
  • Staging a jihad (war against non-Muslims). Jihad, according to Merriam Webster, is the central doctrine that calls on believers to combat the enemies of their religion.
How did this happen? The American Civil Liberties Union, the American Muslim Council, Americans United for Separation of Church and State and the Clinton administration (much of what surrounds this current administration) joined together to create an environment that opened the door to Muslim teaching, while attacking anyone who speaks of the Christian religion in public schools.
 
In addition, there are over 225 Muslim schools in the Untied States of America – about 50,000 children who are being taught to, and I quote Brigitte Gabriel with ACT for America, “foster an environment of hate, loathing, and resentment toward Western culture, Jews, Shiites, secular Muslims and non-Muslims.”
 
America, why is this happening? In a nation that was founded on Christian principles, whose students were nurtured in a biblical worldview, could it be that the Christians became apathetic, went to sleep and allowed this radical agenda to creep in unnoticed by the public at large? (Read Leviticus 26 and Deuteronomy 28.)
 
Muslim infiltration in universities
 
Saudis have taken advantage of the Title VI program our government implemented after World War II for educating young Americans about foreign cultures and languages.
 
How? They are using their riches from oil to pump millions of dollars into our universities to appoint Arab professors in departments such as political science, Middle East studies, etc. who are brainwashing our students with an anti-American point of view. They teach that we are the problem; that our foreign policy is the problem; that our wealth, enlightenment and success are oppressing the rest of the world.
 
This explains why Obama is apologizing to other nations. This is why he is targeting the youth vote after this anti-American curriculum has sneaked its way into our schools. This is also why the ACLU quickly represents Muslims while refusing to defend Christians who practice their faith … in public schools.
 
Apparently, this “Muslim in chief” that lives in the White House overlooked his Christian obligation and duty; he swore to uphold the Constitution of the United States with his hand on the Christian Bible.
 
The same Book that which declares:
  • Thou shalt have NO other gods before Me! (Exodus 20:3)
  • Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under Heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved. (Acts 4:12) His Name is Jesus!
  • For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus. (1 Timothy 2:5)
  • Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. (John 14:6)
In conclusion, if America allows this administration to pick new gods for her, rest assured there will be war in the gates (Judges 5:8)!

Bradle Dean: A Culture At War With God!

Bradle Dean: A Culture At War With God!

 

“Your God of Leviticus (and of the whole Bible) is clearly a sinful homophobic bigot. He should repent of his sinful homophobia. …”
– the late radical homosexual activist Frank Kameny
 
Over the past couple of weeks, we have seen “Duck Dynasty’s” Phil Robertson under incessant attack by the radical homosexuals in America for simply quoting the Bible. The reason for their incessant attacks: The radical homosexuals have lost control over their talking points, as well as the dialogue that is used to push their ungodly and unlawful lifestyle choices through the state-run media.
 
Friends, this is not only an attack on Phil Robertson, but also on the Christians that expose the homosexuals’ ungodliness.
 
Alongside these radical homosexuals was none other than the shameful, “uncivil” rights leader, Jesse Jackson. As he weighed in on the raging Duck Dynasty controversy, Jackson said, “The statements uttered by Robertson are more offensive than the … driver” of civil rights icon Rosa Parks’ bus.
 
What?!
 
Mr. Jackson apparently does not understand that black people do not have a choice as to what color God would create them; whereas, the homosexuals make a choice to commit the act of sodomy. You do not equate the color of skin to the homosexuals’ acts of willful sin! Sin is moral, not physical.
 
Right behind Mr. Jackson is none other than Piers Morgan the alleged criminal from England. Piers seems to be a glutton for punishment, friends; if Piers is not getting spanked by Mr. Ted Nugent concerning “gun control,” then he is getting spanked by Bible scholar Dr. Michael Brown.
 
On his program on Dec. 19, 2013, Piers decided to invite Brown on his show so that he could attempt to entrap him into admitting that Jesus did not, in fact, condemn homosexuality.
 
Little did Piers Morgan know that he was about to fall into the pit that he himself dug!
 
When Morgan asked Dr. Brown to cite just one instance of Jesus condemning homosexuality, Brown made reference to not just one, but three instances of Jesus condemning homosexuality.
 
First, “Jesus said that He came not to abolish the law, but to fulfill it,” said Brown. In other words, the Old Testament law, even in Jesus’ day, was still in force, and Jesus accepted it. Matthew 5 refers to the same law that condemns homosexuality in the Book of Leviticus.
The good doctor also cited Matthew 15 where Jesus states that all sexual acts committed outside of marriage defile a human being.
 
Brown finally ended his spanking when he cited Matthew 19 in which Jesus said that marriage, as God intended it, is the union of one man and one woman.
 
It is all too clear as to what the radical homosexuals are attempting to do here; they are attempting to snuff out your freedom of speech (Amendment 1, Bill of Rights) by trying to silence you through their totalitarian tactics. They are simply at war with the God of the Mosaic Institution, which Christ fulfilled.

Bradlee Dean: See What The Radicals Expect You To Forget!

 

“America, they will always get away with what you let them get away with!” – Bradlee Dean
 
Just the other day I was scanning the Internet to see what was going on in our world, and lo and behold a man named Larry Brinkin popped up before my eyes. For those that do not know his name, Larry Brinkin is a “gay rights” icon.
 
Brinkin is a career lawyer and a homosexual activist who was crowned by the homosexual community when he led the effort to legalize same-sex “marriage” in California. He is also the man that was making $135,000 per year working for the human rights commission in San Francisco. As a matter of fact, the board of supervisors even established a “Larry Brinkin” week in February of 2010 in his honor.
 
But did you know …
 
The San Francisco Weekly reported, “Larry Brinkin, San Francisco’s well-known gay rights activist, appeared in court this afternoon where he pleaded not guilty to six felony charges of sending and receiving images of child pornography. The charges came three months after Brinkin, 66, was first arrested by San Francisco police, who claim he had been using the e-mail address zack3737@aol.com to view images of children as young as perhaps 1-year-old being sodomized by and performing oral sex on adult men, accompanied by highly racist commentary.
 
“Comments included, ‘I loved especially the n@#er 2-year-old getting nailed. Hope you’ll continue so I can see what the little blond b@#h is going to get. White Power! White supremacy! White Dick Rules!’
 
“On May 8, the SFPD was contacted regarding Brinkin’s alleged illegal activity. Investigators secured a search warrant on his home where he lives with his husband and son. They seized items from his house, including computers, videos, VHS tapes and a floppy disc. Police later determined Brinkin received emails and sent two reply emails containing child pornography. However, the DA did not file charges, and Brinkin was released on bail.
 
“Then on Aug. 8, the SFPD seized additional computers belonging to Brinkin, which allegedly contained dozens of images of child pornography, according to the DA. On Sept. 20, police arrested Brinkin again and booked him on child pornography charges.
 
“After the first arrest, police lodged a second list of charges in September based on new evidence. Brinkin was charged with four counts of possessing child pornography and two counts of distributing it, which is even more serious,” stated The San Francisco Weekly.
 
So maybe you are asking yourself like I am, what was the court’s verdict? Where has he been jailed? I even took the time to call the San Francisco Police Department to ask the question, all to no avail!
 
They simply said that they had no idea.
 
As I Googled results on Larry Brinkin for an update, I couldn’t find anything but one lone outlet that had the same questions I did – only to find that Larry Brinkin is a close associate of State Sen. Mark Leno, another homosexual and dedicated gay-rights activist, who has for many years kept the laws in California soft on child molesters and child pornography.
 
In 2006, Leno opposed the efforts of Republican Sharon Runner to toughen up the law on child-sex offenders. He wanted the law to act only in cases of possession of more than 100 items of child pornography. An item could be defined as a CD or USB stick containing thousands of images of rape or violence to children. Leno opposed the introduction of a statewide GPS tracking system for all molesters and opposed any increase in prison time for those convicted.
 
To further to the obvious diversion and possible cover-up, let’s listen to Theresa Sparks, an admirer of Larry Brinkin. Sparks said that the community was stunned after Brinkin’s initial arrest; at the time Sparks said that these allegations are “beyond hard to believe.”
 
“It’s almost incredulous; there’s no way I could believe such a thing. … [H]e’s always been one of my heroes, and he’s the epitome of human rights activist – this is man who coined phrases we use in our daily language.”
 
Who is Theresa Sparks?
 
Theresa Sparks is the executive director of the Human Rights Commission in San Francisco. Sparks was also the former president of the San Francisco Police Commission and former CEO of Good Vibrations (a sex toy company). Sparks is also one of San Francisco’s most famous transgender woman and was also named the “Woman of the Year” by the California State Assembly.
 
Maybe this will help explain why we have heard nothing.
 
These alleged crimes were committed over a year and a half ago, and yet news of Brinkin’s alleged crimes against infants and children (not to mention his alleged white supremacist leanings) has received very little media attention.
 
That is until now! Leviticus 18:22

Bradlee Dean: What Have You Done To Save Our Republic?

Bradlee Dean: What Have You Done To Save Our Republic?

 

They are …?
 
As I was listening to two conservative news anchors bantering back and forth in a comical manner, asking one another as to what scandal they thought was most controversial in 2013 (the IRS targeting of conservative groups, Obamacare lies and its unconstitutionality, the Benghazi cover-up, etc.), I thought within myself: This is some serious irresponsibility going on through those who are responsible for helping preserve our republic.
 
Friends, what would you think of me if I knew that the ship we were on was purposely being destroyed by a few outlaws (corruption in the government), blowing holes in the bottom of the ship in hopes of sinking it, and I sat back with a smile on my face asking others on the ship, “Who do you think blew the bigger hole?” Acting as if I were exempt from being on the same ship that everyone else was on!
 
As I thought on this, it came to me that the problems with our country are not the media or the government’s fault alone. The media watchdogs only stay afloat by the sponsors that support them, and the people are responsible for supporting the sponsors. In regard to government, government derives its just powers from the consent of “We the People,” and the government in this country only reflects what the people tolerate. I also realized that our rights come from the hand of God, and those rights are maintained by fighting the good fight of faith (1 Timothy 6:12), which reflects what is, or is not, being preached from the pulpits across our land.
 
I recently came across this quote that comes to my aid, “We now live in a nation where doctors destroy health, lawyers destroy justice, universities destroy knowledge, governments destroy freedom, the press destroys information, religion destroys morals, and our banks destroy the economy” (Isaiah 59, Leviticus 26, Deuteronomy 28).
 
In other words, America is now bearing corrupt fruit, opposite of what our founders established through acting out what the Bible and the Constitution commands and requires.
 
How you may ask? Through what “they” tolerate others to do to the ship we are all on.
 
Who is to blame? We often see the finger pointed at those who are only reflecting what is tolerated, as if to say that “they” are the problem. Who I ask, my friends, are “they”?
 
“They” is you.
 
Talk to the average American and they are led to believe that the problems in this country belong to someone else; therefore, someone else needs to right the wrongs that they, as Americans, are obligated to right!
 
If it is not the professed church decrying that there is nothing that they can do because iniquity has overtaken America, then it is the conservative of the day complaining about corruption in government. Iniquity has taken over the “professed” church and much of the government because “they” have been derelict of duty in honor to God, and love toward man, in the preservation of this most blessed country of ours. Gratitude leads to duty. Friends, “they” again are simply the American people, and until you take responsibility, nothing is going to change. As we have heard time and time again in the past six years, the change that was promised is not the change that we wanted or expected.
 
Friends, indeed it has been a continual warfare in this country ever since I can remember. It has been war after war, scandal after scandal, lie after lie. It is going to sink our ship unless “We the People” take responsibility for what it is that we tolerate, both inside of the church and in our government.
 
John Hancock, the first person to sign the Declaration of Independence, took responsibility for the wrongs of his day by taking action against those who were usurping the rights of man. Hancock stood in the face of the tyrant King George. In fact, he purposely wrote his name so big that when the tyrant King George read the document, he did not have to put on his spectacles to read it.
 
Hancock stated, “Resistance to tyranny becomes the Christian and social duty of each individual. … Continue steadfast and, with a proper sense of your dependence on God, nobly defend those rights which heaven gave, and no man ought to take from us.” – History of the United States of America, Vol. II, Page 229.

Bradlee Dean: Religion of Ignorance

Bradlee Dean: Religion of Ignorance

“A nation of well-informed men who have been taught to know and prize the RIGHTS which God has given them cannot be enslaved. It is in the religion of ignorance that tyranny begins.”

– Benjamin Franklin
 
Goodness gracious, America – what is it going to take for the American people to bring forth justice against an administration that is willfully and purposely tearing down the Constitution of the United States? Of course, we know that this is nothing but an attempt by the current administration to recreate our country in the image that looks just like themselves … lawless!
 
What sort of men and woman are behind these unconstitutional and unlawful schemes being perpetrated against the American people on a daily basis?
 
And let me ask you, what kind of a message is it when those who have been entrusted to represent “we the people” can no longer be trusted? Thirteen percent (Gallup) of the American people say that they have confidence in Congress as an institution.
 
Capitol Hill Blue did some research on Congress, and here is what they found:
 
  • 111 members of the House and Senate have run at least two businesses that went bankrupt, often-leaving business partners and creditors holding the bag.
  • 79 of them have credit reports so bad that they can’t get an American Express card on their own (but as members of Congress, they get a government-issued American Express card without a credit check).
  • 64 have personal and financial problems so serious that they would be denied security clearances by the Department of Defense or the Department of Energy if they had to apply through normal channels (but, again, as members of Congress they get such clearances simply because they fooled enough people to get elected).
  • 31 members of Congress have been accused of spousal abuse in either criminal or civil proceedings.
  • 33 have driving-while-intoxicated arrests on their driving records (34 if you include President George W. Bush, but he never served in Congress).
  • 24 are or have been defendants in various lawsuits, ranging from bad debts, disputes with business partners or other civil matters.
  • Nine members of Congress have been accused of writing bad checks, even after the scandal several years ago, which resulted in closure of the informal House bank that routinely allowed members to overdraw their accounts without penalty.
  • 17 have drug-related arrests in their backgrounds, six for shoplifting, five for fraud, four for assault and one for criminal trespass.
 
These are the ones that were caught, and this was in 2005.
 
Because they were not held accountable for their crimes back then, they have today become more emboldened to continue down the same lawless road.
 
People in this country need to understand that criminals mock society’s laws. America’s compassion is a weakness that its enemies do not and will not share. Criminals thrive on the indulgences of society’s understandings. The corrupt depend upon your ignorance of the Constitution and its enumerated laws. Until America calls those that break the laws “criminals,” nothing is going to change (Isaiah 51:4).
 
The days are getting darker, you might say, but remember, when you live in darkness, the only light that you have is truth. So turn the lights up and expose the darkness. It would do us all well, America, to stick to the light that not only exposes but also refuses the darkness (Ephesians 5:11).
 
Daniel Webster rightly said, “I apprehend no danger to our country from a foreign foe. … Our destruction, should it come at all, will be from another quarter. From the inattention of the people to the concerns of their government, from their carelessness and negligence. I must confess that I do apprehend some danger. I fear that they may place too implicit a confidence in their public servants, and fail properly to scrutinize their conduct; that in this way they may be made the dupes of designing men, and become the instruments of their own undoing. Make them intelligent, and they will be vigilant; give them the means of detecting the wrong, and they will apply the remedy.”

Bradlee Dean : Fools No Longer Conscious of Shame

Bradlee Dean : Fools No Longer Conscious of Shame

 

“Wisdom will not long hold a seat in the head of that man who yielded up his heart to folly.”
– Charles H. Spurgeon
 
Recently we found that a group of climate-change scientists were stranded in the ice while on a “climate change” research expedition. We know that they did not want the American people to catch on to their folly; regardless, it was brought to the light for all to see and hear.
 
We also know that 40 out of 41 stories on the network morning and or evening news failed to even mention “climate change” while covering (literally) the story.
 
This is not the first time they (the climate-change scientists) have been exposed for their stupidities. Back in 2010, despite the Washington, D.C., metro being covered in snow, the White House’s task force on “climate preparedness” was holding its first meeting to discuss strategies for adapting to “global warming.”
 
Friends, the Bible tells us in Jeremiah 17:9, “The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?”
 
Well, we know that God knows it, and that is why He gave unto us His Word, to simply abide by it. Yet, there are those who simply want to rebel against God in an attempt to bring praise and glory unto themselves rather than give unto God what is due. (Isaiah 14: 12-14)
 
We can see that these people, on a daily basis, refuse to submit to that which is written. Friends, it is an awful thing when a man no longer is conscious of shame. Even worse than that, acting as if nobody sees it. I ask, how in the world did the earth survive before these geniuses were brought into it? (Ecclesiastes 1:4)
 
There is nothing new under the sun.
 
Speaking of the sun, these people could be transported to the very sun itself, and because their eyes are closed so tightly, they would deny its existence. There are those that are continuously trying to dethrone the Word of God through science (science is the study of creation), only to fall flat on their theories and find that what God’s Word has stated from the beginning is absolute in the end. Here are a few examples:
 
THE BIBLE – SCIENCE NOW – SCIENCE THEN
  • The earth is a sphere (Isaiah 40:22). The earth is a sphere. The earth was a flat disk.
  • Incalculable number of stars (Jeremiah 33:22). Incalculable number of stars. Only 1,100 stars.
  • Free float of earth in space (Job 26:7). Free float of earth in space. Earth sat on a large animal.
  • Creation made of invisible elements (Hebrews 11:3). Creation made of invisible elements (atoms). Science was ignorant on the subject.
  • Each star is different (1 Corinthians 15:41). Each star is different. All stars were the same.
  • Light moves (Job 38:19,20). Light moves. Light was fixed in place.
  • Air has weight (Job 28:25). Air has weight. Air was weightless.

  • Blood is the source of life and health (Leviticus 17:11). Blood is the source of life and health. Sick people must be bled.
  • Ocean floor contains deep valleys and mountains (2 Samuel 22:16; Jonah 2:6). Ocean floor contains deep valleys and mountains. The ocean floor was flat.
  • Ocean contains springs (Job 38:16). Ocean contains springs. Ocean fed only by rivers and rain.
  • When dealing with disease, hands should be washed under running water (Leviticus 15:13). When dealing with disease, hands should be washed under running water. Hands washed in still water.
 
 
No matter what man attempts to do outside of God’s Word, it always comes back to that which was originally written. Those that want to continue in their folly better remember:
 
He is the God “that frustrateth the tokens of the liars … that turneth wise men backward, and maketh their knowledge foolish.” (Isaiah 44:25)

Are You Doing Your Duty?

Are You Doing Your Duty?

Patrick Henry said, “Give me liberty or give me death!”  William Williams, signer of the Declaration of Independence, took the issue of liberty seriously, and considering the high cost that was paid for our freedom, we should do the same.  The following is a short bio of Mr. Williams, along with a true comic story of an instance in Mr. Williams’ life.

William Williams was born in Lebanon, Connecticut, the son of a minister, Tim Solomon Williams, and Mary Porter. He studied theology and graduated from Harvard in 1751. He continued preparation for the ministry for a year, but then joined the militia to fight in the French and Indian War. 

Williams was elected to the Continental Congress to replace Oliver Wolcott. Though he arrived at Congress too late to vote for the Declaration of Independence, he did sign the formal copy as a representative of Connecticut.

The Reverend Charles A. Goodrich in his book, Lives of the Signers to the Declaration of Independence, 1834, stated “[William Williams] made a profession of religion at an early age, and through the long course of his life, he was distinguished for a humble and consistent conduct and conversations. While yet almost a youth, he was elected to the office of deacon, an office which he retained during the remainder of his life. His latter days were chiefly devoted to reading, mediation, and prayer.”

He was also pastor of the First Congregational Church in Lebabnon, Connecticut, as well as a very successful merchant.

Keep Your Eyes Fixed

Keep Your Eyes Fixed

Hebrews 12:1-2 says, “Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, Looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.”

There is a lot going on in the world that can pull you away from your duty: entertainment, money, cares of this world, oppression, fear, etc.  It seems so easy to get sidetracked. However, there is an answer to this problem. Keep your eyes fixed on your end, and you will obtain it!

Is the Apple Sour or Sweet?

Is the Apple Sour or Sweet?

 

The apostle Paul said in 1 Corinthians 2:1-5, “And I, brethren, when I came to you, came not with excellency of speech or of wisdom, declaring unto you the testimony of God. For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified. And I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling. And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man’s wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power: That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.”

These days, so often people go through college to become pastors, ministers, evangelists, etc. The question I have for you is this: what school did Peter, James, John and Paul go to? Here is your answer: Acts 4:13; “Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were unlearned and ignorant men, they marveled; and they took knowledge of them, that they had been with Jesus.”

It’s the “School of Hard Knocks” (experience and testimony) that we are to go through.  We are to be led of the Spirit, not man (Romans 8:14). In 1 John 2:27, Paul makes it plain and simple for us: “But the anointing which ye have received of Him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you…

As a matter of fact, Jesus Christ’s biggest problem was the Pharisees, the doctors of the Law who were taught by and followed the traditions of men.  They were the ones who ended up crucifying the Lord of glory, while the common people loved Him, forsook their sins and followed Him who now sits at the right hand of the Father, spoiling principalities and powers. That is the true testimony of Christ.  

Psalm 34:8 says, “O taste and see that the LORD is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him.”

Do You Have to See Him to Believe Him?

Do You Have to See Him to Believe Him?

 

Psalm 14:1 says, “The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.”

The reason people don’t want to believe in God is because they don’t want to submit to Him.  They love the darkness rather than light, as it says in John 3:19. Common sense tells you that things just don’t appear out of nowhere – every building has a builder; every painting has a painter.  We need to go back to childlike faith.

How Much Do You Want God?

How Much Do You Want God?

Charles Spurgeon, also known as the “Price of Preachers,” said:

Do you think you’re going to be carried to heaven on a feather bed?  Have you got a notion in your heads that the road to paradise is all a lawn, the grass smoothly mown, still waters and green pastures ever and anon to cheer you?  You have just got to clear your heads of that deceitful fancy.  The way to heaven is up hill and down hill; up hill with difficulty, down hill with trials.  It is through fire and through water, through flood and through flame, by the lions and the leopards.  Through the very mouths of dragons is the path to paradise.

But the man who finds it so, and who desperately resolves in the strength of God to tread that path – nay, who does not resolve as if he could do nothing else but resolve, but who feels driven, as if with a hurricane behind him, to go into the right road, this man is never unsuccessful.

Never.

Where God has given a violent anxiety for salvation he never disappoints it.  No soul that has ever cried for it with a violent cry has been disappointed.  From the beginning of creation until now there has never been raised to the throne of God a violent and earnest prayer which missed its answer.

Go, soul, in the strong confidence that if thou goest earnestly thou goest successfully.  God may sooner deny himself than deny the request of an earnest man.  Our God may sooner cease to be “The Lord God, gracious and merciful,” than cease to bless the men who seek the gates of heaven, with the violence of faith and prayer.

The Slave Girl

The Slave Girl

Galatians 3:24 says, “Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us into Christ, that we might be justified by faith.”  Many nowadays say that preaching the Law of God is “legalism.”  But if we go to the Word of God, we will understand what the Lord is trying to do – produce genuine repentance in us.  D.L. Moody rightly said, “The Law drives me to the foot of the cross and can do no more.”  

While doing our assembly program, I will first bring people through the law of the land and show them that there was a price to pay by our forefathers and veterans to uphold and magnify that law.  Therefore, we as Americans have an obligation to live for what they died for, that it would not be in vain.  

Just as the Veterans bled the battlefields red with their blood so we could have the freedom we walk in today, so Christ did the same.  2 Corinthians 5:15 says, “And that He (Christ) died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto Him which died for them, and rose again.”  Once we see what Christ did for us, we realize that we are not our own, we are bought with a price, that being the precious blood of Jesus Christ, the King of kings and Lord of lords.  He came to save His people from their sins (Matthew 1:21).  That is true freedom.

Judgment Without Justice

Judgment Without Justice

What does this administration have to do before we start talking about impeachment?  

If all we do is judge what’s going wrong in our country for the sole purpose of having something to talk about (as it seems to be the case over the airwaves lately), we are glorifying the problem and encouraging unrighteousness to run rampant by leaving judgment undone.  Let me say that again:  if we merely expose problems with this administration or unlawfulness anywhere, we are helping their cause if we leave it without justice.

We need to bring about the answers and start talking about impeachment until people uphold the rule of law and execute justice upon wickedness.  

To prove the point, if the president of the United States were to get on the airwaves tomorrow and say, “The next person to commit murder will get the maximum penalty for their crime, no questions asked,” what do you think would happen in our country?  I can guarantee you that murder would drop drastically.  Government is to be the force of law, ruling in the positive, by bringing a negative to crime.  The whole purpose of government is to maintain peace in the land with righteous judgment.  As Romans 13:4 says, the government is to be “a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil.”

If we would simply execute the laws we already have, we do not need to waste time making new ones! And we certainly won’t have to waste our breath glorifying the lawbreakers through the airwaves.  Enough is enough!

Judgment vs. Mercy

Judgment vs. Mercy

The Bible says in Ecclesiastes 8:11, “Because sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil.”

In the foundation of our country, men were ruled by principle rather than emotions.  Because of that, they were jealous for liberty and loved their country to the point of putting their lives, fortunes and honor on the line.  They would speedily bring judgment upon lawlessness because of the high price that was paid to bring us liberty.

Nowadays, anyone who talks about maximum penalties on crime and injustice is accused of being unmerciful and cruel.  But if we take a step back and ask the question, “Wait a minute, who broke the law?”  Not the judge or the police officer who arrests a criminal; not a preacher who exposes unrighteousness; not a people who are calling for justice to be brought about.  No – those are the ones who love.  And while justice is being brought about, we pity those who are paying the penalty for their crimes so they can learn the lesson and walk in true peace – within the confines of the law.

To show you the right heart behind judgment and mercy, read the analogy below:

Harvard, Yale, and Princeton University Stats

Harvard, Yale, and Princeton University Stats

What are our colleges and universities founded upon?  Let’s go back and find out about 3 of our nation’s leading universities: Harvard, Yale and Princeton.

Harvard was started by the Congregationalists for training ministers of the gospel.

Harvard produced signers of the Declaration such as:
John Adams
John Hancock
Samuel Adams
William Ellery
William Hooper
Robert Treat Paine
William Williams
Elbridge Gerry

Harvard also produced the following Signers of our Constitution:
William Samuel Johnson
Rufus King

Other prominent leaders from Harvard were:
Fisher Ames – A framer of the Bill of Rights
William Cushing – Original U.S. Supreme Court Justice
Timothy Pickering – Revolutionary War General; Secretary of War for     Presidents Washington and Adams

What was Harvard’s educational philosophy?

The answer to that question is set forth in Harvard’s 2 mottos:
“For Christ and the Church.”
“For the glory of Christ.”

Read Harvard’s directives to students:
Let every student be plainly instructed and consider well (that) the main end of his life and studies is to know God and Jesus, which is eternal life (John 17:3), and therefore to lay Christ in the bottom as the only foundation of all sound knowledge and learning.

The directives continue…
Everyone shall so exercise himself in reading the Scriptures twice a day that he shall be ready to give such an account of his proficiency therein.

Yale University was also started by Congregationalists for training ministers of the gospel.

Declaration signers from Yale:
Philip Livingston
Lewis Morris
Oliver Wolcott

Signers of the Constitution from Yale:
Abraham Baldwin
Jared Ingersoll
William Livingston

Other prominent leaders form Yale:
Noah Webster – Famous educator; author of Webster’s Dictionary
Zephaniah Swift – Author of the first American Law book.
James Kent – Leading Judge; “Father of American Jurisprudence”

Yale admonishes students with:
Above all, have an eye to the great end of all your studies, which is to obtain the clearest conceptions of divine things and to lead you to a saving knowledge of God in His Son, Jesus Christ.

Yale requirement:
All scholars are to live a religious and blameless life according to the rules of God’s word, diligently reading the Holy Scriptures, and constantly attending all the duties of religion.

Princeton University was started by Presbyterians to train ministers of the gospel.

Princeton produced signers of the Declaration:
Richard Stockton
Benjamin Rush

Signers of the Constitution from Princeton:
Gunning Bedford
Jonathan Dayton
James Madison
William Paterson

Other prominent leaders from Princeton:
Oliver Ellsworth – Chief Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court
Henry Lee – General in the American Revolution
William Bradford – George Washington’s Attorney General
   
John Witherspoon was the President of Princeton University and a Signer of the Declaration

What did Witherspoon require of his students?
Every student shall attend worship in the college hall morning and evening… (and) shall attend public worship on the Sabbath… (T)here shall be assigned to each class certain exercises for their religious instruction…and no student belonging to any class shall neglect them.

Witherspoon taught:
(H)e is the best friend to American liberty who is most sincere and active in promoting true and undefiled religion and who sets himself with the greatest firmness to bear down on profanity and immorality of every kind.
Whosoever is an avowed enemy of God, I (hesitate not) to call him an enemy to his country.

Dr. Witherspoon taught that a true friend to liberty and to America would promote religion and bear down on profanity and immorality.

Here are some interesting statistics regarding our nation’s universities during the foundation of our country:

In 1860, 262 of 288 college presidents were Ministers of the Gospel and over 1/3 of faculty were Ministers of the Gospel as well.

An 1890 Survey of State Universities conducted by James Angell (president of University of Vermont and University of Michigan) found the following statistics:

  • Over 90% had chapel services.
  • 50% had compulsory chapel.
  • 25% required Church attendance.

 

So, the next time someone tells you we are not a Christian nation, here is more evidence in the contrary!

A True Friend

A True Friend

This week I am giving you part of a sermon by C.H. Spurgeon, known as the “Prince of Preachers.”  Enjoy!

Open rebuke is better than secret love. Faithful are the wounds of a friend; but the kisses of an enemy are deceitful. — Proverbs 27:5-6

Commentary on “The Perpetuity of the Gospel” by Charles H. Spurgeon.

Hold on you then, dear friends, to the words of Christ even though you do not always understand them. I must also remind you that every word of threatening that Jesus Christ hath spoken, is true. Oh, that we could have seen His face, and heard the very tones of his voice! There must have been an inexpressible sweetness, and an ineffable tenderness, about the speech of Jesus Christ. All those who heard Him speak knew that He loved them: and the publicans and the sinners, the poor off casts, those who were scouted by everybody else, drew near to Him, because they felt that there sympathy towards them in that great heart of His. Yet, did you ever notice—you must have noticed it—that never a man spake such terrible threatenings to the ungodly as this man spake? It was Jesus who spoke of the worm that never dies, and of the fire that shall never be quenched; it was Jesus who spoke of destroying both body and soul in hell; it was He who said many of the most terrible things about future punishment that ever were uttered, such as the parable of the rich man who died, and was buried; and in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. And he cried and said, “Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame.” When you hear men soften down the threatenings of the Scriptures, do not believe that love suggests such a course of action; it is often the proof of true love that it can speak harsh things. If a man comes, and tells you very pleasant things about yourself, BEWARE of him; he is not your friend; but the man who can warn you, who can point out your fault and folly, who can run the risk of losing your esteem by indicating your danger, that is the one who has a sincere affection for you, and a WISE man will choose such a friend as that. Whatever anyone might think or say, there is not a terrible word that fell from the Savior’s lips, which will not be affected by your likes or dislikes. “He that believeth not shall be damned.” You call this a hard saying; it is true, however, or Christ would not have said it. It must have been some sort of mental crucifixion to Him to speak as He did about the terrors of the world to come; and be ye sure that they are not less awful than He described, not less horrible than He depicted them; so, whatever any may say by toning down His threatenings, reject their falsehoods, for Heaven and earth shall pass away, but the words of Christ shall not pass away.

Know who your friends are! —Bradlee Dean

Shake it Off!

Shake it Off!

There was once a farmer who had an old donkey. One day he was walking along and heard his donkey crying. As he walked towards the cry of the donkey, he found out that the donkey had fallen into an old well and was trying to get out. The farmer thought to himself, How am I going to get this donkey out of the well?

As he pondered it for a little bit, he began to reason within himself saying, “Well, this donkey is too old anyway. He’s not really worth the time and effort to get him out of the well.” He called over some of his farmer buddies and they began to shovel scoops of dirt and throw it into the well, burying him alive. The donkey panicked at first, knowing what they were trying to do. Suddenly, to the farmers’ amazement, the donkey started to do something different. For every scoop of dirt that they would throw on the donkey’s back, he shook it off, and used it as a step to climb out of the well.

Life is hard. It is an uphill battle. The world today tries to throw a lot of fear, doubt, and oppression our way, but you know what? We must take what the world tries to throw at us and use it as a stepping stone to get out of the hole! The Bible says in 1 John 4:4, “Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.” Philippians 4:13 says, “I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.” He is who He says He is, and if we are in Christ, He is made our wisdom, righteousness, sanctification, and redemption (1 Corinthians 1:30) through His blood.
