Subjugation by Masterminds (An Opinion)

Federalist Papers # 51

If men were angels, no government would be necessary.

If angels were to govern men, neither external nor internal controls on government would be necessary. James Madison

The people of the United States discarded the Divine Right of Kings notion in the late 1700’s, which led to an eight-year revolution against a tyrant. Between 1861 and 1865, Americans fought a bloody civil war to liberate a people from the abhorrent, aristocratic, peculiar master/slave incongruous-institution embedded within a free nation. We rejected the evil, Master-Race doctrine and with great courage fought WWII in the 1940’s, to prevent the total inhalation of my Jewish brethren and set a continent free. Why, in 2008, did many Americans cast off their citizenship and embrace the idea that unelected Masterminds should rule over every aspect of our lives? How did we revert to irresponsible, cowardice, surfs? Is it too late to uphold our Constitution, which secures the blessings of liberty for our posterity and ourselves?

I am convinced this November’s general election is the most important since 1860. Jesus foretold, “Any kingdom divided against itself is laid waste; any city or house divided against itself shall not stand.” (Matthew 12:25, NASB) The division in America resembles that, which separated free and slave states. We who promote individual freedom and less government intervention are separated from those who demand government to provide for all aspects of their lives, not realizing that a life of dependence on man-guided institutions leads to voluntary slavery.

God granted Americans the wonderful blessing of liberty. We have a duty to protect it. But how long will we waiver between two opinions (I Kings 18:21, NASB). To keep freedom, we must embrace individual responsibility, respect private property, and preserve life at all stages. Crafty, indoctrinated, pedigree holding, enemies of freedom reside in our Constitutional Republic. They believe in a utopian, centrally controlled, socially engineered, mastermind regulated world. They suppress individual liberty to benefit the collective. They reduce regular folks to useful farm animals, beholding to bureaucratic shepherds. This country will not, survive half government-dependent and half free. It will become either a tyranny where mediocrity is the norm, or a restored, limited structure where individual liberty and personal responsibility are valued and unlimited opportunity promoted.

America must have this debate. This election must resolve it. Do we remain the nation God created based on the exceptional, foundational, self-evident truth that all men are created equal and all have value in God’s eyes? Or, should we submit to the indoctrinated who claim they know what is best for all mankind to serve the greater social good? They claim to guarantee equal outcomes (goods, services, income, housing, vacations, transportation, energy, and sustenance) for everyone. These lying social engineers promise to take care of people. Many have tried this fantasy – see Plato’s Republic, from 380 BC, for example.

If we honestly assess where we are, the course set for us and our trending direction, then we could better judge what to do, and how to do it. We passed the second year since affordable health care became law. Under OBAMA CARE, I question, which Federal government powers remain restrained by the United States Constitution? Millions beseeched Congress to reject OBAMA CARE, or slow the process so we could learn its contents. Comrade Pelosi told us, “We have to pass the bill to find out what’s in it.” We protested, called, wrote letters, and transmitted e-mails. The Washington, DC masterminds heard us. They ignored us. The law’s passage coupled with our representatives’ deafness created a condition where the Supreme Court may rule that the United States Constitution allows the Federal government to force US citizens to purchase federally regulated health care. Should the Court render this decision, nothing will restrain the Federal government from pursuing whatever ends it justifies. We may fall asleep on June 30, 2012 assuming that we may yet see our country perpetually free from this mischief, only to wake July 1, 2012, to a new reality. One Justice’s vote may transform all citizens into subjects – servants to the regulatory masterminds. We want to understand why government must alter the more than 200-year fundamental relationship between the Federal government and US citizens. We must prevent this. But how?

America has been moving toward a dependant-regulated society and away from an individualistic, morally responsible, common-sense grounded, limited government for over one hundred years. To avoid a terrible calamity, we must unlock the shackles of tyranny this November. We shall either, as Abraham Lincoln foretold, “Nobly save, or meanly lose, the last best hope of earth.” (Abraham Lincoln’s Annual Message to Congress, December 1, 1862) If we repent of the covetous-desire to be cared for all our days, if we will turn from this childish dependency, if we choose to vote for liberty, God may once again shed His grace on our country.

Joshua challenged the nation of Israel to, “Choose for yourselves this day who you will serve.” (Joshua 14:15, NASB) Americas must choose. We can let self-proclaimed mastermind elitists dominate, control, and enslave us in a perpetual state of bondage, or we can throw off these crafty liars, and be free, responsible, sovereign citizens. As for me and my house, we choose to serve the Lord of Glory, to preserve and defend His precious gift of liberty.

“All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.”

Party Loyalty vs. Clear Thinking

The Colorado 2010 gubernatorial election causes me to pause and wonder. I have been asking myself, why does Dan Maes, the Republican Party’s losing candidate for governor, remain in this race? Why does Democrat, John Hickenlooper, contribute to his Chinook Fund and allow money to support organizations such as Cop Watch, La Raza, and terrorist sustaining Hamas. Has Dan Maes deluded himself into thinking he’s staging a comeback with a single percentage point margin from 15% to 16%. Has he struck a deal with someone, which requires him to press on when the evidence is compelling (if not overwhelming) that he cannot win? Is he vindictive? Does he place self-interest high above the interests of people of Colorado? Why won’t he do the honorable thing and gracefully remove himself from this contest? Is Dan Maes running interference for John Hickenlooper?

Is it bondage or misplaced loyalty that causes Colorado candidates, Party Leaders, and party members to elevate mere mortals above the needs of our State? If the Truth shall set us free, living a lie (i.e., false loyalty) leads to bondage. Loyalty, including Party Loyalty, to the one leading the lie, locks all who follow into shackles. The loyalty line seems to be, “Party over principle.” This applies to both Democrats and Republicans in Colorado’s 2010 gubernatorial race. John Hickenlooper, Dan Maes, and Party loyalists seem to ignore the Truth.

John Hickenlooper is a progressive, which means he’s an, “Ends justify the means,” kind of guy. To heck with the Constitution, he will expand Denver’s sanctuary city status to the entire state. Through confiscatory taxation, he will transfer wealth from oppressor, “Rich,” Coloradans to the oppressed, illegal-victim aliens. Finally, he will allow the Federal government to dictate to Colorado citizens how we live our lives.

Dan Maes tried to bury the truth and mislead us. We do not know who or what he is, how he will govern, or if we can believe anything, he says. All evidence indicates that he cannot be trusted. His behavior leads me to believe that he is not a conservative. Every conservative I know, although not perfect, lives an honorable life. Mr. Maes does not act like an honorable man. I hope he proves me (and thousands more) wrong by stepping aside and let a proven conservative govern.

The Party Leaders and Loyalists expect Coloradans to vote for these characters. I say, “Not so fast.” It is up to Liberty-loving, truth seeking and clear-thinking Colorado citizens to make the best choice for governor of our State.

So, let us start with a common base. We are Americans and Coloradans. When we say, “The Pledge of Allegiance,” are we pledging to the political party of choice? Do we sing “God bless the Party, or America?” For those who have sworn a solemn oath to preserve and protect the Constitution of the United States, party affiliation is never a consideration. Principled, Liberty-loving Americans say, “No more.” We reject Party Leadership domination. Do any of these major-party leaders represent plain, everyday Americans? Do they live paycheck-to-paycheck? Do they breathe special air, drink extraordinary water, or eat exceptional food? Okay, maybe they do. However, are they anything more than human? Do they really know what’s better for us? Do they really have our best interests in mind? Their gubernatorial selections reveal human fallibility and loyalty to their out-of-touch parties. They failed. It is time for Coloradans to exercise our God given obligatory duty to, “Throw off,” the major-party candidates and select a constitutionally sound governor for ourselves and posterity. Let’s drop the party politics, band together, and do what’s best for, We The People of the State of Colorado, for a change.

Resurrect the Republic

Folks, let's face it the Republic is dead. With a stroke of a pen, the fraud-in-chief signed America's death certificate this week. She died a slow, painful, and near her end, a pleading for life death caused by the cancer of progressivism, a disease of the brain that causes the host to believe the Constitution is no longer relevant, it has outlived its usefulness, and that Government experts know what is best for the people and nation.

When I tried to put my feelings into words, I had a strong sense of loss, a grieving, as if I mourned the passing of a dear, loved one. That's why I wore black clothes most of this week. Now, I never met a feeling I can trust so as rational thought regained control, I looked to God, the Supreme Ruler and Judge of the Universe. Re-connecting with my Creator in prayer has a way of grounding, stabilizing, and clarifying. God reminded me that He holds the future in His hands, and no matter how much the pretended leadership of this nation mocks Him and those of us who know the Risen One - Yeshua - we know He has resurrection power. In this truth, we have faith.

With this faith, I have to choose. Will I continue to serve a false hope that somehow we, who are finite, can turn the ship of state around? Or, will I follow the lead of the Infinite, Holy One? In a recent after-signing speach, the mocker-in-chief ridiculed those of us who opposed the death legislation and feared the loss of freedom in America. He laughed at the notion Armageddon would begin, asteroids would strike the planet, and great cracks in the earth would appear. He said he looked up to see if these things would happen and as it turned out, it was a nice day. The Lord reminded me of other self-proclaimed world leaders who mocked the Almighty: Pharaoh, Nebuchadnezzar, Alexander the Great, and Caesar. God in His mercy gave them time to repent. However, while God deals with our proud leaders in Washington, what do we, the people do.

As I see it, faith leads me to choose resurrection life. How do we resurrect the Republic? People of faith, and specifically the Body of Christ, must begin in prayer. Most of us are keenly familiar with this passage of scripture from 2 Chronicles 7:14, "If . . . My people who are called by My name humble themselves and pray, and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, will forgive their sin, and will heal their land." For me, the sin of progressivism stands out. It is a slow destroyer, but a destroyer nonetheless. I reject progressivism in all its many forms, and specifically false compassion that believes Government can provide better for people than the Creator. I embrace the cause of liberty anchored by the Constitution. I choose to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with other liberty-loving Americans who look to our nation's new birth of freedom, re-founded on Constitutional principles, which protect our God given rights of life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness - the guarantee that what He provides to His people is not taken away under the guise of redistribution by a government of, by, and for elites.

Christmas Miracle

On Saturday, December 19, 2009 around 1 PM, I had a bad accident. To avoid hitting a small, mid-1980s, gray, "well used," Honda Civic (no tail lights), I chose to lay my motorcycle down on a busy street. Time seemed to shift its physical properties and slowed its natural pace. I remember saying a quick, "Jesus help me prayer," reminding myself to hang on and starting the ditch process I had studied, mentally prepared for many times, but after years of riding, I never had to use. I remember the initial impact with the street, then things are a bit fuzzy until maybe seconds, maybe minutes later.

I looked to my left and saw a large, black pickup truck heading for me and it stopped in the street's center lane next to me (in the left lane). I turned my head to the right and watched the little Honda drive away. I heard car doors slam, and then a woman looked into my helmet, identified herself as a paramedic licensed in another state, but requested my permission to, "Check me out."

I felt burning pain throughout my back, chest and right shoulder. I could not breathe, but I managed to tell her, "Okay." As she asked me a bunch of questions, checked my responses to hand and foot movements, I watched a young woman, and someone else, lift my bike off of my right leg.

I heard someone ask, "Did anyone call "9-1-1," and I heard another say, "Yeah, I did and they're one they're way."

Then, I heard the sirens, and saw a fire truck pull near my left side. The Lakewood Police, Fire and Rescue, and others asked me more questions, and I answered them as best I could. All I could think about was my wife, Mary, and how we were supposed to meet for lunch at the restaurant just down the street from where I laid. I kept asking someone, please call her, but I guess they had other things on their minds. Then, the paramedics decided to cut me out of my jacket and pants. I knew my gear had kept me alive, but I was not too sure for how much longer, because I still found it difficult to breathe. Then, that first lady paramedic looked into my helmet again and said, "I know you may not believe me, or may not want to hear this now, but you are going to be okay."

I do not know how long it took the rescue team to scrape me off the street, strap me to the most painful board on the planet, and place me in the ambulance, but I remember begging someone, anyone to call Mary.

They could not get an, "IV," started. Each time they tried, my veins collapsed. I heard one of the paramedics say, "We better get him to the hospital." We took off right away.

Sometime later in the hospital, after x-rays, cat scans, the removal of my helmet, and the successful insertion of an, "IV," I got the attention of one of the young police officer's who promised to call my wife.

Hours passed before Mary and our thirty-year old daughter, Michelle arrived. I was still strapped to the, "torture board," when our thirty-five-year-old son, Dan, showed.

This is when the miracle happened. For almost three years, our son and daughter have not spoken to one another. As I watched them work together to support their mother, my dear wife, Mary, God filled me with His joy. I was so grateful to Jesus for letting me witness His use of my broken body, to bring reconciliation between our children. The greatest Christmas gift I could receive was seeing our children treating each other with kindness. This joy transformed into strength, and I knew I would be okay.

Don't get me wrong, the pain did not go away, but I had a joy and strength that surpassed the damages, which listed can be sung to the, "12-Days of Christmas," tune: 6 broken ribs, a broken collar bone - in 3 places, and a fractured shoulder blade.

My riding days are probably over (Mary demands that I sell the bike after it is fixed), the orthopedic surgeon tells me that it will take a year for all my broken bones to heal, and I still may have to have shoulder surgery if she is not satisfied with my progress. Nevertheless, if God used a crash to help bring our children back together again, it is okay.

Another Nail In America's Coffin

The Senate ignored the will of the people of the United States of America. It's time to fight, no longer with words.

Book Recommendation

Folks,

Last night, I started reading a novel. The title of the book is, "Patriots." It is written by James Wesley Rawles. The Amazon Link is: http://www.amazon.com/Patriots-Novel-Survival-Coming-Collapse/dp/156975599X/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1255267201&sr=8-1 .

This is not a book review because I have only read the first two chapters. However, I can tell that this work is important for others to read. If you suspect that the our government's behavior is taking our nation and the entire world down a path to economic and social collapse, James Wesley Rawles paints a, I believe, near future scenario that is realistic and tells how his characters were prepared to face for what followed. Since I don't know how the book ends, I can't spoil the story for anyone. Based on what I've read, if you care anything about the Constitution of the USA, I recommend that others read it too.

Charles J. Patricoff

Author of the Civil War Series: Destination Hope

October 4, 2009 – Bible Study – Psalm 55:1-23

What is the main point?
It is a fearful thing for us, who understand righteousness and desire to live upright lives, to see wickedness abound (vs 4), and to see our leaders - elected leaders - act wickedly (vs 3). Where is the justice for the American citizen taxpayer? Are we reduced to nothing but subjects to BHO and his cronies? Why did he and his wife, and their friends have to fly to Denmark to make another speech, and why did they have to take separate planes - all at the expense of American citizens? Who would have benefited if they had won the Olympic prize? The questions are endless because wickedness knows no bounds.

What does God reveal about Himself?
Yet, God sees, He hears, and He knows the judgment He plans for the wicked. BHO has violated his covenant (vs 20) - to protect and defend the Constitution, which he considers to be fundamentally flawed. God will let BHO and his house (including his Czar friends) go down alive to Sheol, for evil is in his dwelling, and in his midst (vs 15).

What insights can I apply to my life?
As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord (Joshua 24:15). Our God is our refuge (vs 8). Even when He brings terrible calamity upon our nation for its many grievous sins, I know I can trust Him (vs 23).

How can I honor God with this passage?
I choose to repent of my sins - open and secret - for only when I humble myself under the mighty hand of God can He raise me up to be the man He intends - a light unto the Gentiles and a hope to His people - Israel.

Radio Spot

Folks,

Friday, September 11, 2009, I will be on the morning show, "The Breakfast Table," on AM-91 (KPOF 910) from 7-8 AM to talk about the Saturday 9-12 Rallies in D.C. and Denver (see link below). I hope to see you Saturday at the Colorado State Capital Building (West Steps).

If you want to contact me for more information, you can reach me at cpatricoff@comcast.net, or at Twitter, or Facebook.

Remember this Independence Day is a unique American event. The Tea Party is going to take all of us to make it a success. This is our time to come together, celebrate our nations birth, meet each other, discuss the issues concerning us, and begin to work together to find solutions.

Tea Party Information

I am sure everyone notices Fourth of July Holiday sales popping up all over the metro area. I am here representing myself to remind people about an exciting event – The Independence Day Tea Party Patriotic Celebration. I have received many telephone calls and e-mails asking for information. The most often asked questions are:

Where & When?
Time & Place of the Independence Day Tea Party Patriotic Celebration is,
July 4, 2009,
Time: 1:00pm - 8:00pm,
Location: Pioneer Park Pavilion
Address: 9101 Ralston Road (58th Avenue), Arvada, CO 80002

Why not the Capital Building like the April 15th Event?
Detailed answers can be found at this Web Site http://hearus-now.org/. Specifically, Tea Party Organizers decided to move from the Capital Building to the public park in Arvada because a Veterans Organization is planning a picnic in the mall area between the Colorado State House and the City & County Buildings. Tea Party Organizers determined that we did not want to interfere with the Veterans and their family members.

What is our objective?
2,500 participants in a peaceful pot luck picnic/demonstration in the park,
We expect Public Servants to listen (we know Politicians will not), and
Send clear messages, such as:
Ø “Stop the Spending,” and
Ø “We are Taxed Enough Already.”

How can I help?
Please show up(Numbers Matter – over 1,230 cities will participate)
Encourage others to do likewise,
The organizers have established a facebook site, which is linked at the http://hearus-now.org/ to help people RSVP,
If you are able, please bring items such as:
Hot dogs, buns and/or water,
Condiments, chips, and/or a side dish
If you are not able to bring any food items, don’t worry about it and don’t let that stop you from attending.
The Park prohibits alcoholic beverages. Please do not bring any alcoholic beverages.
Visit the Tea Party (http://www.teapartyday.com/) Web Site for more information, and
Read the Declaration of Independence and reconnect with this day’s importance.


If you intend to bring a sign, please keep your message simple like, “Stop the Spending,” or, those used by our founders such as, “The Power to Tax Is the Power to Destroy.” Here are a few reasons for this recommendation:
The media would like to silence our voice. If we have signs that are off point, such as, “Fire the Speaker of the House,” although we might agree with this, it is something the media would use to demonize the demonstration, or at least marginalize our message.
We should strive to remove the ability to criticize our purpose, or use our demonstration to inflame the passions of those who do not yet understand our grave-concerns, and to exploit our, “Grassroots,” movement as the last-gasp of those who hold to traditional values.
It is possible (however unlikely), Politicians might understand a statement written at the First Grade Reading Level.

Another idea for Tea Party Signs: Five-gallon wooden paint stirring sticks are available at most paint stores. They make great, lightweight, poster holders.

If you want to contact me for more information, you can reach me at cpatricoff@comcast.net, or at Twitter, Facebook, or at America’s Godly Heritage (http://americasgodlyheritage.blogspot.com/).

Remember this IS your event. This IS YOUR Tea Party, YOUR celebration. It is going to take all of us to make it a success.

This our time to come together, celebrate our nations founding. It’s a time to get together, meet each other, discuss the issues concerning us and begin to work together to find solutions.

July 4th Tea Party Update

To Denver Area Tea Party Participants:

The July 4, 2009 Tea Party is moving from the Capital Building to a public park in Arvada. The information is included in the URL below.

Tea Party Organizers determined that we did not want to have a conflict with the Veterans and their family members.

The format is also changed from a one hour event to an all afternoon into the evening Independence Day celebration (bring your own picnic basket).

Charles

3.1 25,000 participants in a peaceful demonstration at the Colorado State Capital Building,
3.2 We expect Public Servants to listen (we know Politicians will not), and
3.3 Send clear messages, such as:
3.3.1 “Stop the Spending,” and
3.3.2 “We are Taxed Enough Already.”

If you intend to bring a sign, please keep your message simple like, “Stop the Spending,” or, those used by our founders such as, “The Power to Tax Is the Power to Destroy.” Here are a few reasons for this recommendation:
1. The media would like to silence our voice. If we have signs that are off point, such as, “Fire Pelosi,” although we might agree with this, it is something the media would use to demonize the demonstration, or at least marginalize our message.
2. We should strive to remove the ability to criticize our purpose, use our demonstration to inflame the passions of those who do not yet understand our grave-concerns, and to exploit our, “Grassroots,” movement as the last-gasp of Conservatives.
3. It is possible (however unlikely), Politicians might understand a statement written at the First Grade Reading Level.

The Dictator Does Not Care

The first obligation of the President of the United States is to protect the citizens of this country from the invasion of a foreign enemy. The dictator is letting the Mexican Flu attack us and he acts like it is no big deal. Even Cuba has the sense to close its boarders to incoming carriers of the potentially deadly virus - not this administration. This is another proof that he does not care about the American people, just his friends on the radical left. They do not believe in the principles embodied in the Declaration of Independence and Constitution. They want to destroy this great nation. Wake up Americans. The usurper is making it clear that he wants power and he will do anything he can to secure it unto himself. Our nation has slipped into bondage in the last 100 days. Our founding fathers did not fight and die for what this nation has become, and I think future generations (if there are any) will curse us for letting freedom die in the land of liberty.

Book 3 - Consolation Initial Draft Completed

I completed the initial draft of the third book in my Destination Hope - Series, Consolation. If you do not like the direction the progressive-liberal, Islamic-submissive dictator is taking our country, the Destination Hope - Series will help you reconnect to the firm Biblical foundation established by the founders of our nation. The first book, Separation, is linked here: http://www.christianbook.com/Christian/Books/easy_find?Ntk=author&Ntt=Charles+J+Patricoff&action=Search&N=0&Ne=0&event=ESRCN&nav_search=1&cms=1&Go.x=9&Go.y=11

It's not politics, its war

Liberal Progressives have declared war on Traditional Conservatives. They impose their will upon the American people through the abuse of Government power at all levels. The weapons they use include the Executive, Legislative, and Judicial branches. They employ liberal institutions, such as media, education, and entertainment, to do their dirty work. I don’t know if it is true, but I read that the dictator wants our military to swear allegiance to him, rather than to the Constitution. If so, he will use our military to destroy the lives of honest, law-abiding citizens who refuse to submit to him, just like a little corporal from Austria.

I swore an oath to preserve and protect the Constitution of United States of America. I owe my allegiance to my God and my country – not to any man. Traditional Conservatives must reject their usurpation of power before they reduce us to abject slavery, complete dependence on the government. We must neutralize this enemy of life and liberty. Grant them no quarter, take no prisoners, and show them no mercy. This is war and we must fight.

Dictator's First Week

If you haven’t noticed, since January 20, 2009 we have a dictator. Historically, dictators do not take kindly to criticism and this one is no different. BHO doesn’t want us to listen to anyone that might have an opinion that questions the soundness of his radical-left ideas. At the risk of being thrown in prison for exercising my once Constitutional-First Amendment right of free speech, let’s assess his first week and see how he’s done.
1. He’s lifted the international ban on taxpayer funded abortions and opened the door on the wholesale murder of the unborn. In case you didn’t notice, the United States taxpayer must pay for these killings. He has the blood of innocent lives on his head and everyone who voted for him is culpable with the blood of children on their hands.
2. He’s closed the door on the GITMO prison for international terrorists, and his minions are happy to let them live on American soil to spread the death cult of Islam among hardened criminals. The Pentagon reports that at least 60 – possibly more – of the detainees released from Guantanamo have rejoined terrorist cells and have fought once again against Americans. When are we going to get tired of fighting those we’ve released?
3. The White House web site lays out all the other ungodly practices he intends to impose upon us, many of them should cause grave concern to a free people. I see severe trouble on the horizon. Do you remember the old saying, “Red sky in the morning, sailors take warning”?

What are some of the warning signs of imminent danger? Watch for an increase in civil unrest. I suspect that he will turn a “blind eye” and a “deaf ear” to complaints of mistreatment or even acts of violence (including murder) against conservatives. He will silence all criticism using a sweeping “Hate Speech” rule and he will remove the free exchange of ideas from all forms of media, education, and public debate. He will want to disarm the population under the guise of improved safety, and he will treat terror attacks as if they were criminal acts worthy of due process regardless of the citizen body count. When he begins to blame a particular group of people (such as: Jews, Christians, or White Conservatives) for all the disorder and his failure to accomplish his agenda, anyone who raises an objection to his policies will receive his wrath. I wonder if the construction of “work camps” is buried in his massive spending plans.

Many people have asked me about our Christian responsibility to pray for him. I recommend I Corinthians 5:5 for your consideration. If he is a Christian as he claims, then we must pray that he comes to a place of deep and true repentance. If he is not, then we must pray that he surrenders his life to Jesus Christ and bows his knee in submission to the Supreme Judge of the Universe. Do I want him to succeed – only if he practices righteousness? So long as he practices wickedness, I pray that God will have mercy on his eternal soul.

Remember Our Troops at Christmas

I haven't had time to collect my own thoughts and write a compelling article in support of our troops for this Christmas, but I believe God led me to an article written by Kevin McCullough linked here: http://townhall.com/columnists/Column2.aspx?UrlTitle=survive,_evade,_resist,_escape&ns=KevinMcCullough&dt=12/21/2008&comments=true&registered=true&submitted=true

God bless our troops, have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Election Thoughts

I thought I’d try to add some Biblical/Historical sense to the outcome of Tuesday’s event. First, God has everything under control. Even though we may grieve the outcome, He will execute His sovereign will. The results did not catch Him by surprise, and He is still speaking and providing direction to those who will trust in Him, not the government.

Last night, my wife Mary and I pursued our regular evening Bible study and prayer time. I find it very interesting what God taught us. We’ve been studying the Book of Daniel. Keep in mind, what was prophecy to Daniel, is history to us. Many of those strange, wild and bizarre things described and events foretold in Daniel have taken place. But they also point to what our future will experience (and I believe very soon). Our study gave us a view of important world history. We learned a few important facts, which confirm fundamental truth: Any alternative “savior” will either disappoint us or totally devastate us. Apart from the Lord, there is no savior.

We learned that the Grecian ruler Antiochus the IV Epiphanes was a very shrewd politician. He needed the support of the Israeli people to help him attack Egypt. To gain their support he redistributed the nation’s wealth and won widespread support among the lower classes (sound familiar – an interesting demographic fact from Tuesday, 72% of the American Jewish population voted for Obama). With the added Israeli support, Antiochus attacked Egypt but failed. He blamed his failure upon the Jews. He vented his rage on the Jews, slaughtering thousands, outlawing Judaism, and converting the temple into a pagan shrine. This was the tidal wave of persecution that led to the “abomination that causes desolation.” (Daniel 11:31 & Matthew 24:15) May I suggest that we keep a watchful eye on Obama and how he treats Israel, and American Jews and Christians? Is he a modern day (alternative) “savior?” Many think he is. Is it a coincidence that we only have to shift two letters, and change one to differentiate between “Abomination” and “Obamanation?”

Obama’s advisors tell him that Israel is “not a priority.” For your information, Syria moved two armored divisions into southern Lebanon over the weekend and as of Tuesday, Syrian tanks and artillery were aligned in “battle array” along the Lebanon-Israeli border (guns pointing south into Israel). Yesterday, Hamas launched 35 upgraded Qassam missiles into Israeli towns and villages north and east of the Gaza strip. Is this a coincidence or a strategic move by Israel’s and America’s Islamic enemies? Obama received his first ever military threat briefing this morning. I hope he sees that we live in a dangerous world.

After our study, Mary and I prayed about America’s and Israel’s current situation. God impressed upon Mary’s heart that He doesn’t need America’s support to protect Israel. If He did, who would get the glory for protecting her? With His kindness He again reminded us that He has everything under control, He is executing His plan for the ages, and that His return is imminent. Stay tuned and look up for our redemption draws nearer each and every day.
