Stop killing the babies!

 

Without the right to life, no other right matters.

Yet each day in America, with the legal covering of the body of law that is anchored by the infamous Roe v. Wade Supreme Court decision of 1973, over a thousand women will choose to take that right from their pre-born children – many unceremoniously, without grief, or even suffering a sense of loss.

For far too many American women, abortion has simply become a type of “birth control.” Planned Parenthood and other outspoken pro-abortion forces have successfully reengineered Americans’ thoughts about the taking of pre-born human lives.

To What(whom) do we Pledge

Our Pledge of Allegiance, which is sadly being pushed into oblivion in many public forums, states that we are “One Nation Under God” and that we are “Indivisible.”

Tragically, a growing number of Americans are buying the deceptive proposition that we are no longer “One Nation Under God” and that we are certainly not “Indivisible.”

This has set the stage for President Obama and his leftist cohorts to undertake the “fundamental transformation of our nation.”

Barack Obama is the most divisive president in American history. While he campaigned on “unity” and “transparency,” we now know that both promises were calculated deceptions.  In truth, after five years of the Obama administration, our nation is the most divided since the Civil War.

There is a very aggressive movement in this nation based upon a shared vision held by the Obama administration, the Reid-controlled Senate, the ACLU, and other sympathetic leftist groups, all of which are largely supported by a sympathetic liberal media.

Their objective: To remake America into a socialist, Big-Government, limited-freedom, anti-life, anti-marriage, pro-homosexual, weak nation that constantly apologizes for its God-given heritage.

Barack Obama’s underlying goal is to reduce our nation to parity with the rest of the world. To him, there is no such thing as “American exceptionalism.”

Abraham Lincoln prophetically warned, “America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves.”

One Nation gone under or Under God?

 

“If we ever forget that we are One Nation Under God, then we will be a nation gone under.”  President Ronald Reagan

Barack Obama’s Big-Government socialist agenda is a dismal failure but it continues to be empowered by die-hard liberal “progressives.”  Meanwhile, the proven principles of a free market, individual liberty and freedom, and the values based on Judeo-Christian principles upon which America was founded are steadily going under.

This is a patriot’s call to action.  Positive change can still take place!  After all, God is still in control!

Stand with Phil for freedom of speach

Dear Friend,

Perhaps you heard about A&E’s suspension of Phil Robertson from the program Duck Dynasty for exercising his right to free speech on marriage and other issues.

I just signed a petition to stop A&E from pursuing this oppressive tactic against Phil Robertson.

Please consider joining me. Go here to sign:

The True story of the Grinch and Christmas

I once heard a story about a green Grinch, Who thought stealing Christmas would be quite a cinch. Old grumpy curmudgeon did all that he could, To take away trappings that Whoville thought good. He went into houses and took down the trees, He stole all the giftings, and lifting them seized All the hopes and the good-will the Whos thought they’d found When they celebrate Christmas as December rolls ‘round.   The Grinch seemed so angry, so mean and so bold, To destroy all the memories and traditions Whos hold. Why would he deem Christmas a terrible thing? Traditions of yuletide and carols we sing? Enraged, all the Whos to their festive lights cling. We’ve done them forever! Christmas is the thing! We don’t care what paganized rituals we’ve brung; Our parties and shopping and eating’s begun! Don’t tell us that Christmas trees scared Jeremiah! Our thoughts on this matter are higher than Higher! So what if the history of Christmas is bad; To take it all from us would make us so sad! No matter what God our Creator would wish; We think that He’ll like all these things! They’re Delish!   You’re just a big Grinch to attempt to usurp Our bestest and brightest and happiest >Burp< ! We’ll read from the scriptures, it comes from the Bible! Don’t tell me that Santa or trees are an idol! So what if our Savior was born at Sukkot? I believe that as much as I do Noah’s boat! That’s all from the Torah, and we think that’s done! We’ve changed Mithras’ birthday to Our Father’s Son. I’m sure He will measure our hearts when we sing Of Santa and Frosty and Reindeers and things! Oh Grinchy, you simply do not understand! It’s Christmas tradition! And we think it’s grand!   You’re Grinchy to tell us that we should return To Torah where all His instructions we’d learn. We don’t need the Bible to tell us what’s what! This Christmas is wonderful! You, just shut up! We think that your heart is too small for your chest! Don’t you know that Christmas is better than best? Maybe your shoes pinch or you’re just a Scrooge! Come on and join us, our cookies are Huge!   Once you have tasted you’ll see they’re so good,

It won’t even matter to do what we should!Our Savior won’t tell us what we have to do! He came so that we could be free from Him too!   So what if He followed the Torah and taught it? Kept Sabbath and diet as when He first wrought it! We know that He’s gracious and we’re off the hook! We won’t give that Torah of His one last look! So what!? His instructions were here Six-K years! Now we all have freedom to join with our peers! No more separation from man’s fond desire. We know that our hearts are much higher than Higher!   So, soon the Grinch joined with the Whos in their folly. He learned that their Christmas was merry and jolly. It’s true that his heart was two sizes too small, But the truth is that that’s not the reason at all! His heart was for Torah, his Creator he loved. But, now he’s forgotten what came from above. It’s easy to join in and say it’s for Him, But maybe the outcome will be awfully grim. Someday we will see Him and what will we say? That we learned the paganized festival Way? Will He understand? Will He still be forgiving? When we trample down the great gift He was giving?   It’s not about holidays, tinsel or holly. It’s not just because the festivity’s jolly. He asked us to join Him on His Holy Days! The Jews have remembered, but whose Feasts are they? Too bad we have missed the important instruction. I fear that we all soon will meet our destruction. For how is it blessing to mix God and Man, If adding our own spin’s not part of His plan?   I won’t join the Whos or the Grinch or Ebeneezer. And don’t think my heart’s been locked up in a freezer! My heart holds a tablet of infinite worth; The Word became Flesh and He dwelt here on Earth. He came to restore His pure heart to us all For out of His mouth He spoke Torah to all We know from abundance is how His heart loves So write it inside! His pure Word from above! You won’t have regrets if you give up your trees Restoring! Returning! It’s Him you will please!   I said it before and I’ll say it again No Grinchy or pagan traditions of men! Join me in returning to all He made clear. Forget vain traditions! Let this be the year! Someday all will join into His great design His Feasts and His Sabbaths! Let these be our sign! Then you too will welcome His Spirit on Earth And store up in heaven good things of great worth. No more will be your heart two sizes too small He’ll fill it with Torah: His love for us all!

 

The “Cornerstone” starting the “Temple”..a re-dedication for us.

 

“It is this time of year again!” I hear some friends for the USA saying as they seek an escape route to the commercialization of Christmas and the twisting of the truth to fit the traditions of man. Jesus is the reason for the season is echoed out from our towns and cities. Who told us this and and who are we really following? 

Tradition or Scripture?

This week I would like to share with you 2 of our new articles for our writers corner outlining why we don’t celebrate Christmas and I hope it will provide scriptural basis for your stand too.

Article 1

Forcing Christ into Christmas by Christine which has already got hundreds of people talking about Yeshua and Christmas. Please share with others on Facebook and post comments on the website for others to follow.

Thanks Heidi for your comment “This is a great synopsis of the reason a follower of Yeshua should not participate in the celebration of Christmas.”

Article 2

“The True story of the Grinch and Christmas” by Julia

Forget vain traditions! Let this be the year! Someday all will join into His great design. His Feasts and His Sabbaths! Let these be our sign! What are you looking for in Christmas? I have heard so many stories of why Jesus is in Christmas but it is all from the tree of good and evil – everything is greener on the other side of the fence – really! 

Have a blessed Shabbat

A letter from Mike Huckabee

Dear Friends, America used to be a free country. It was a nation in which religious liberty was so foundational to our nation’s fabric that faith was an important principle embedded in the very first amendment in our Bill of Rights. It was all so simple: the GOVERNMENT could NOT prefer or prohibit an expression of religion. Religion was free to express; government was NOT free to infringe.  In recent days, a small, but vocal and militant group of same-sex marriage advocates have co-opted religious liberty to force industry and government to go beyond tolerating homosexuality, but to APPROVE it. Any deviation from Biblical and traditional marriage is to be embraced, but there is no deviation tolerated from those who want to force acceptance, approval, and activism of same sex marriage. A&E network found a successful formula to save it financially from its original goal of “Arts and Entertainment.” Reality shows have turned it into a cash cow, but none of its shows has ever rocketed it to the stratosphere of green and gold like its most popular show ever, “Duck Dynasty.” While the elites have never understood its popularity in “fly over” country, those of us who live in the part of America where we actually practice tolerance, but not totalitarianism, Duck Dynasty was never about the beards or the hunting, but the strongly knit sense of family that the Robertson clan embodied. They live life with a free-wheeling joy. They are not straight-laced snobs or Puritans, but people who laugh, play, and yes, who pray. They reflect a family who loves each other. And they also reflect a view of marriage that is common to many who haven’t found the Bible to be a “do it yourself” journal where one writes in a view that fits a lifestyle rather than to accept the Bible as a standard for life. For this network to toss Phil Robertson off of TV because he believed something and said what he believed, this network is insulting and snobbing the millions of Americans who hold the same view, albeit perhaps expressed in less graphic terms. Why is it that Muslims are not ostracized or banned from the public square when their views are far more harsh and intolerant of homosexuality? Most Christians I know (including me) are respectful and tolerant of those who are homosexual and engage in friendship with, employment with, and social interaction with people who are openly gay. Is it no longer possible to accept people and love them as friends, but not love a behavior? I have friends who accept me and love me, but think I’m a religious nut for believing the Bible and in the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Are the militant homosexuals so insecure so they are incapable of accepting that not everyone finds same sex marriage to be actual marriage. Let’s stand up FOR free speech and FOR freedom of faith. If we don’t, we will one day be told by the government what we can and can’t say or believe. It starts in the marketplace. It ends when it gets enforced by the state. We’re getting close. I stand for free speech. Do you? Join me by RSVPing YES! to our Stand With Phil Event on Facebook! If you don’t use Facebook, RSVP on my website here! Sincerely, Mike Huckabee

A MERRY HEART
by David Wilkerson
[May 19, 1931 – April 27, 2011]

One of the actions irritating marriages today is the silent treatment. A young
wife asked me to “talk some sense” into her husband. “All he does,” she
said, “is close up on me when we disagree. He won’t fight back, he just walks
out the door. When he cools down, he comes home but he is like ice until I make
up with him. He can go for days without saying a word. I hate it! I’d rather
he yell or even hit me. But no more silent treatment—I can’t take
anymore.”

It is deadly wrong to say to your husband or wife, “Just leave me alone. I
don’t want to talk. I’m going through a rough place so just let me work it
out by myself. I don’t want to be around anybody right now.” That is not
only stupid, it is a genuine put-down. What is marriage all about if it is not
about sharing and helping one another through every crisis?

I have heard all the excuses: “I’m not feeling well.” “I’ve had a
really bad day.” “My nerves are shot.” But these excuses do not give you
the moral right to shut out someone who loves you. Always keep the door to your
heart open to accept help in your time of need.

The Bible says, “He that hath no rule over his own spirit is like a city that
is broken down, and without walls” (Proverbs 25:28).

If the joy of the Lord is our strength (Nehemiah 8:10), then strong marriages
should abound with joy. When marriage loses its joy, it becomes weak and
vulnerable. Show me a happy home, and I’ll show you a joyful couple at the
helm.

Husbands and wives who no longer laugh and play together no longer love each
other. There is a joyful childishness about true love. I have come to the
conclusion that our marriages are suffering from too many sober husbands and
sad wives.

Sure, there are problems. There is sickness, unexpected trouble, financial
problems, misunderstanding, pain, and even death. But life goes on and it is a
shame that so many couples never enjoy life. They keep hoping they will someday
be happy and contented. Life passes by quickly and all they have to show for it
are the wrinkles and lines on their worried faces.

No thanks! Not for me! The future is now. God is on the throne and He has
everything under control. There is a time for weeping, but also a time for
rejoicing. The good outweighs the bad, so look up and live.

The Bible says, “A merry heart doeth good like a medicine; but a broken
spirit drieth the bones” (Proverbs 17:22).

Thank God for Duck Dynasty’s Belief in the Bible

Whether it is the trappings of wealth or the pressures of socialization, we must beware of allowing ourselves to become spiritually enslaved. Success and prosperity can quickly turn into bondage. This week’s Torah portion: Shemot Readings Shemot (שמות | Names) Torah: Exodus 1:1-6:1 Haftarah: Isaiah 27:6-28:13, 29:22-23 Gospel: Luke 5:12-39

The Golden Handcuffs Joseph died, and all his brothers and all that generation. (Exodus 1:6) When Jacob first went down to Egypt, he went only to sojourn there until the famine had passed. It was supposed to be temporary. But the temporary stay turned into what looked like permanent residence. They settled, and they prospered. They might have remained in Egypt, happy and well fed. Life in Egypt was good. Perhaps it was too good. Happy, well-fed and prosperous, the children of Israel could have easily forgotten about their great spiritual heritage. Content with the comforts and luxuries of Egypt, they might have abandoned their aspirations of inheriting Canaan. Who would want Canaan when he already had Egypt? The children of Israel found their situation in Egypt suddenly reversed when the Egyptian government forced the Hebrews into servitude. A person becomes accustomed to privileges and luxuries and begins to think of those things as necessities. Things that, at one time, he could not afford, and therefore did not worry about, become indispensable needs as he prospers. His own wealth and success become “golden handcuffs” from which he cannot escape. While we are in the service of materialism, our spiritual health inevitably suffers. Yeshua warned us, saying, “No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and wealth” (Matthew 6:24). While in Egypt, Israel was lured by the attractions of Egyptian society. They began to assimilate into the larger culture. Assimilation poses a greater danger to the people of God than persecution. When we are persecuted, we band closely together and firm up our convictions. We remember that we are not part of the greater culture. When we are received into the culture, though, we lose those distinctions, and we begin to lose our identity. We fall sway under the powerful spell of social allure. The rabbis speculated that something like this was happening in Egypt. One Jewish collection of commentary on the book of Exodus suggests that the Israelites went so far as to quit circumcising their sons so that their children would fit in better with Egyptians: When Joseph died, the Children of Israel abrogated the ritual of circumcision. They said, “Let’s be like the Egyptians.” Because they quit circumcising themselves, the Holy One, Blessed be He, reversed the Egyptians’ friendly attitude toward them. (Shemot Rabbah 1:8) Instead of settling down and trying to fit into Egyptian culture, the children of Israel ought to have been looking toward the return to Canaan. By remaining in Egypt, they made themselves (and especially their children) vulnerable to Egyptian culture. They were already entering spiritual enslavement long before their physical enslavement began. Whether it is the trappings of wealth or the pressures of socialization, we must beware of allowing ourselves to become spiritually enslaved. The children of Israel may have fallen victim to both. Real, physical enslavement followed quickly.

DAY BY DAY
by Gary Wilkerson

“Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will
drink, nor about your body, what you will put on” (Matthew 6:25, ESV).

Jesus does not want you to be anxious about your life. It is easy to get
apprehensive about small things such as what you are going to wear or what you
are going to eat. He goes on in verse 27, “And which of you by being anxious
can add a single hour to the span of his life?” Jesus is saying, “Don’t
do that! You can’t add anything to your life by worrying.” He is setting us
free from anxiety and calling us into a glorious revelation of the liberty that
the children of God can have.

In verse 33 of this passage, Jesus says, “Seek first the kingdom of God and
his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.” He is saying
that He already knows what you need and as you seek Him, He will give you all
the things you need.

Hallelujah! Christ adds His righteousness to the life of a seeker who is
hungering and thirsting after Him. When we met Jesus at the cross and became
blood-bought, sanctified followers of His, our victory was won!

Some may say, “I know He brought His righteousness to me, but I might do
something that displeases Him and He’ll take it away.” No, the Bible does
not say that. It says, “Don’t be anxious for your righteousness.” The
Holy Spirit will convict you of sin, and God knows who you are and what you are
going through. I want to assure you today that He is more powerful than sin and
the sin nature. “He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world”
(1 John 4:4, ESV).

The outcome of knowing Him is a rest, a peace, so that you can lay your head
down at night and sleep peacefully. You can know that He is cleansing you and
making all things new. He does not do that just once but every single day of
your life. He is walking with you, working with you, and overseeing all the
things of your life.
