Phyllis Schlafly: Bring Back McCarthyism
I have hated watching what has taken place in this nation over the last few years. Its as though we’re on a determined path to destroy ourselves from within. While the Prophecy authors, and a hand-full of the usual nuts, go about warning of God’s judgment “soon” to come upon America, I believe they are […]
Religious Right Threatens: Waver On Traditional Marriage And We Form Third Party
Oh goody. Just as long as the founders of this third party do not claim: (1)- It is “the” Christian party, and (2)- it represents (a) “the” Church or (b) America’s Christians. quote, Thirteen of America’s top religious right social conservatives this week sent Republican National Committee (RNC) chairman Reince Priebus an official letter warning […]
America’s Evangelical Christians Are Being Labeled As “Extremists” And “Hate Groups”? Why?
Interesting but as usual, a somewhat biased article. Are evangelical Christians rapidly becoming one of the most hated minorities in America? Once upon a time such a notion would have been unthinkable, but these days things are changing dramatically. All over the United States, evangelical Christians are being called “extremists” and evangelical Christian organizations are […]
Chuck Smith Jr. and Reaching the Lost and Deceived
While I don’t know precisely what prompted this response by Chuck Smith Jr. the contents are somewhat self-explanatory. Smith’s theology or whether you have a problem with it or him personally, isn’t what I want to concentrate upon in this post. For one thing, though I’m very familiar with Chuck Smith Sr and his ministry, […]
Holiness and the Fragrance Of Christ
This evening I came across a short message by the late James A. Stewart, (Evangelist & Missionary born in Glasgow, Scotland) at Herald of His Coming, and wanted to share a portion of it. When I was saved, during a mighty movement of the Spirit of God in Glasgow, Scotland, a young lady was also […]
Funny of the Day
Nothing like a good solid biblical reason, spoken by a minister of the gospel, for “why gay marriage” is wrong… On yesterday’s “Hagee Hotline,” Matthew Hagee warned that legalizing gay marriage would spell “the death of capitalism.” “The only relationship in natural law that can produce consumers,” Hagee declared, “is the relationship between a man […]
Liberty University, Kirk Cameron, and Reclaiming The 7 Mountains Theology
“In the mid 90s the idea of societal transformation and social entrepreneurship began to emerge when Bob Buford, author of Halftime began to voice the need for social impact through one’s workplace call. Other groups like Pinnacle Forum, a ministry to key influencers and our own ministry, Marketplace Leaders and International Coalition of Workplace Ministries […]
Bakker’s ‘King’s Castle’ Being Demolished
A blast from the past, Demolishment has begun on a large symbol of a bygone era in 1980s American televangelism history located in South Carolina. “The King’s Castle,” the central building for the former Heritage USA Christian theme park in Fort Mill, once owned by the Bakker family, will be leveled. The removal of the […]
Jack Kinsella and Ron Graham
I was surprised to read of the passing of Jack Kinsella. For those who may not have heard of him, he was in ministry with Hal Lindsey for some years. He also started and ran the website, The Omega Letter. It is with a profound sense of personal loss that we must announce the Home […]
The Art of Deception
Sobering message at Judah’s Lion blog, There was a recent documentary on television called “Hubris” which outlines the manipulation and sometimes out right lying which led America to war in Iraq. After ten years we still have a presence in Iraq and soldiers still die in Afghanistan. And before going in the lying tongues of […]
Prayer..
Again I come to you all with a prayer request. As most regular readers here are aware, I have a number of autoimmune illnesses. Nothing new there, for you’ve probably grown use to my disappearing from the blog periodically for a few days at a time and automatically know the reason is one or another […]
Not of this World…
A simple thought came to me today. This blog, among other things, has watched and reported on the actions of the Evangelical American Christian Right, or American Political Christianity if you will, for some years, and some posts have been ridiculous while others have been very serious in nature. One thing they all have in […]
The Most Dangerous Prayer
Good article by a guest columnist at the CP, The Most Dangerous Prayer for Pastors I don’t think you could say more dangerous words than those found in the Lord’s Prayer. I don’t think you could pray a more radical prayer. Probably most of us, even in ministry, would hesitate to say these words if […]
The ‘Public Face’ of the American Church: An Example of Redundant
The public face; what the lost sadly sees and wrongly believes is the Church of Jesus Christ in America. These public faces and unauthorized voices are working overtime in the hope of making the Church in America redundant: useless, superfluous, etc. They are tools of satan and enemies of the Cross. Case in point, An […]
It’s A Miracle To Be Born Again!
Have you tried explaining to one not born again exactly what that term means? It’s hard isn’t it. Many born again believers, myself included, would say its actually impossible to fully explain. This is why I love personal testimonies. Hearing one “testify” to the changes brought about as a result of being born again is just […]
My Son Phoned Today…
My youngest son called me today to discuss a preaching video he had watched at youtube, which led to him asking a question: “Mom, who are our Christian leaders in America today?” And you know what, I had no answer. Who are they folks? Can you name…perhaps just one?
Glad to See January Go…
Sooo glad to wakeup this morning to February 1st! January 2013 will go down in my personal history as “that” dreaded month. Besides going through the worst sickness in 25-30 years, it was also a month filled with nights (and some days) of straight-out demonic attacks. But through it all God was faithful. We know […]
Adoration
After prayer this morning, this particular playlist, collected over the years at youtube, was on my heart. Sometimes I forget what “all this” is really about. If you don’t know what I mean by all this, thats ok…still hope you’ll scroll through the list and find something to enjoy.
The flu…
Please accept my apology if you’ve had a comment in moderation the last few days. I’ve been pretty sick. Its still a mystery how I could have gotten the flu because I received the shot a few months ago, but according to the doctor there is more then one strain of the illness being spread […]
Dobson on Obama’s Reelection: ‘Nearly Everything I Have Stood for these Past 35 Years Went Down to Defeat’
Source, James Dobson in his January newsletter for his Family Talk radio program reflected on President Obama’s re-election and the Democrats’ gains in Congress by lamenting that “moral and spiritual issues” took “a beating on November 6th.” “Nearly everything I have stood for these past 35 years went down to defeat,” Dobson said, arguing that […]
Sola Dei Gloria, 2012 in review
The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2012 annual report for this blog. Here’s an excerpt: About 55,000 tourists visit Liechtenstein every year. This blog was viewed about 200,000 times in 2012. If it were Liechtenstein, it would take about 4 years for that many people to see it. Your blog had more visits than […]
Merry Christmas Everyone
Sorry I’ve not been at the blog more often this past week but my Christmas baking seems to take up more time every year! ahaha… I believe it’s both the combination of a growing extended family (means more fudge and cookies to make) and the fact of growing older and consequently slower in the kitchen. […]
Did you know…
This is NOT a post about the pros and cons concerning gun control but just an interesting item concerning facts about America and guns. If you’ve read here very long then you know how facts and numbers fascinate me. quote, There are an estimated 270 million guns in the hands of civilians in the United […]
‘I Am Adam Lanza’s Mother’
Back in the late 80′s I vividly remember seeking an answer from God concerning mental illness; Why it occurs, is it demonic or psychological, etc. etc. Looking back, there’s not one thing or incident I can point too for why I found myself suddenly interested in knowing this, or why I sought God for answers. […]
Rick Joyner: ‘I’m Not Convinced That the Election Was Not Stolen’
quote, Yesterday, Rick Joyner dedicated his “Prophetic Perspective on Current Events” program to discussing the re-election of President Obama … which he is pretty sure was stolen. Citing a 2006 paper from Princeton University revealing that electronic voting machines could be easily hacked, Joyner declared that he has heard lots of anecdotal evidence about voting […]
US Senate rejects UN treaty on disability rights
Watching the news stories as this sad event unfolded, one thought came to mind; that being what a laughing stock our government has become to the world. Led by Republican opposition, the Senate on Tuesday rejected a United Nations treaty on the rights of the disabled that is modeled after the landmark Americans with Disabilities […]
