Happy Easter - He is Risen!

This morning brought some great news! The Somali pirates that kidnapped Captain Phillips met with a big dose of Justice:

Captain Phillips was safely rescued, 3 pirates were killed, and 1 captured. Sounds like Captain Phillips family is going to have one happy Easter. His priest came out after the rescue and made the comment that evil never wins in the end. never.

What a wonderful Lord and Saviour we serve. He is risen, and still working miracles.

One more comment: Captain Phillips was a hero. One of my pet peeves is the misuse of the word “Hero”. Captain Phillips surrendered himself in order to gain the release of his crew after trying to fight them off. Then he tried to escape twice under automatic weapons fire, the second time successfully gaining his freedom. This is a hero.

Change you can believe in

Barack Hussein Obama was elected on a platform of “Change you can believe in”.

Here is an update on some of the “Changes” that you need to plan for, and prepare. It deals with the possible collapse of Mexico, and its impact on America:





I just love Alan Keyes. The guy never real had a chance in the polls, which says more about the electorate than about Keyes. The man is brilliant, and the video below describes another aspect of “Change You Can Believe In”:



Are you PREPARED for these Changes?

Post/Read Comments: Change you can believe in


Are You Prepared?

I knew major “Change” was coming in political and economic terms some time ago, and most recently made a major change in my own course in mid 2007. The stock market was at an all time high of 14,000 on the DOW for the first time, and all of the TV commentators were glassy eyed and talking about how DOW 15,000 was right around the corner. America had been on a huge drinking binge for some time, and was ready for more. The binge buying and selling went into overdrive during the war, which of course is never a good idea. So I changed course and sold. It was time to adjust according to the signs and prepare for a different world.

Over the years I have been through three flooded homes, a couple of hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes, and riots, similar to a lot of people to a greater or lesser degree. In my early years I was into backpacking and camping, and even spent a whole year living on a glacier in a remote station in Antarctica, so I have always been an advocate of “Emergency Preparedness” and planning for “Change”, both expected and unexpected change, and of course preparation for both good and bad change. I did just that back in 2007, and planned for “change”.

While preparing is second nature to me, I thought it might be time to discuss emergency preparedness with our readers. This is not an “end of the world” post, but a post about common sense and preparation for emergencies. Only the Lord knows what the stock market or your 401k or other savings will be like tomorrow, but the Word has certainly given us plenty of examples of preparation. Perhaps one of the most famous examples was the instruction by Joseph to Pharaoh to store food for seven years of plenty, in preparation for seven years of famine. The story begins with Joseph interpreting Pharaoh’s dream as a message from God:


25 And Joseph said unto Pharaoh, The dream of Pharaoh is one: God hath shewed Pharaoh what he is about to do.
26 The seven good kine are seven years; and the seven good ears are seven years: the dream is one.
27 And the seven thin and ill favoured kine that came up after them are seven years; and the seven empty ears blasted with the east wind shall be seven years of famine.
28 This is the thing which I have spoken unto Pharaoh: What God is about to do he sheweth unto Pharaoh.
29 Behold, there come seven years of great plenty throughout all the land of Egypt:
30 And there shall arise after them seven years of famine; and all the plenty shall be forgotten in the land of Egypt; and the famine shall consume the land;
31 And the plenty shall not be known in the land by reason of that famine following; for it shall be very grievous.

(Genesis 41:25-31, KJV)


God has always been faithful in leading His people, and showing them both what is to come, and how to deal with it. The story continues, with Joseph counseling Pharaoh about this dream, and the instruction from God:

34 Let Pharaoh do this, and let him appoint officers over the land, and take up the fifth part of the land of Egypt in the seven plenteous years.
35 And let them gather all the food of those good years that come, and lay up corn under the hand of Pharaoh, and let them keep food in the cities.
36 And that food shall be for store to the land against the seven years of famine, which shall be in the land of Egypt; that the land perish not through the famine.

(Genesis 41:34-36, KJV)


America, and the entire world, has had a long period of abundance, combined with ample cheap fuel (oil) to build a robust society and infrastructure. At this point in time (February 2009), oil is cheap again, around $37 per barrel, but of course the economy is heavily in debt and on the verge of bankruptcy. When we combine the drunken stupor brought on by sub-prime loans and easy credit to the uncreditworty, with the massive spending on social engineering, it is easy to see how we got into this mess, and yes, it was easy to see this coming.

Part of the “Change” that has been decided upon is to inflate the currency as a way out of debt, which is always a dangerous path. This is *particularly* true when we try to boost the economy through social means and social engineering, as opposed to *real* engineering with tangible outcome. As with all government programs, this will cost us for generations to come. So here is an early warning message: the “stimulus” and “bailout” packages may make matters worse, and you should prepare for the possibility of further economic problems. We will all pray that things improve, but as a practical matter we should prepare, and save… While we are to trust in the Lord, He has also given us some solid wisdom through His Word, and as Christians we should act upon that wisdom found in the Bible.

So prepare yourself and your family by “saving” and preparing for emergencies. In America that “saving” word is almost heresy, where the populace is accustomed to running up consumer debt, housing debt, education debt, car debt… always a “good” reason of course, along with myriad bad reasons for debt, like entertainment, expensive vacations, gambling, smoking, etc.

Some of you have fallen into this mode of belief that the Lord will take you away in the rapture before anything remotely unpleasant will occur in your life. I am not going to launch into a doctrinal discussion of “pre-trib” or “post-trib” rapture. This site has a focus of unity in Christ through essential Christian doctrine, and “pre-trib” or “post-trib” interpretation of scripture is not an essential element of the faith. What I will say, however, is that those that are hoping for a “pre-trib” rapture to take you out of the world should at least be prepared for emergencies, wars, riots, and economic hardships that just might come along before your anticipated rapture. Just remember that “times can be tough” without the world entering into the “great tribulation”.

If you have not yet started saving and preparing for emergencies, then perhaps you should sit down with the family and discuss plans for the future. I will expand on this theme in the next few months, but for many of you, it is time for *you* to get started.

Yours in Christ,
Job

O.J. Simpson Verdict

I know most of you have probably heard the verdict from just about every TV, Radio, and newspaper. My wife is Italian, and she reminded me of a famous old Italian saying:


“God has feet of lead, but sooner or later He around to everybody.”

I just love some of those old sayings.
Yours in Christ,
Job.

The “Merry Christmas” Season

I was wandering through the various forums that I have been known to frequent, and ran across an interesting website. Each Christmas we go through the usual pro/anti-Christmas wars, as we witness the disappearance of the traditional “Merry Christmas” greeting in the stores. One of the participants in the forum mentioned that he had recently set up a web site that listed businesses that still say “Merry Christmas” during the Christmas season. The name of the site, appropriately, is “The Merry Christmas Club”, and they have two easy to remember URL’s (website addresses, both URL’s forward to the same place):

www.TheMerryChristmasClub.com

www.MerryChristmasClub.com

During the pro/anti-Christmas wars each season, we have the usual debates about companies banning the Salvation Army and other Christian traditions and symbols, while still encouraging you to spend money in their stores… While boycotts are usually ineffective, I found this “Merry Christmas Club” spin on Christmas to be a positive message, for a positive season. They are currently focusing on South Carolina, but they are interested in expanding. I hope they do… I like the message.

On a different note, I will blog a bit about the election later, but for now our prayers are with the President-elect, even though we opposed many of the liberal worldly causes that he supports. The Bible says to pray for your leaders.

I think this “Merry Christmas Club” is a nice positive message to start off the season, and I pray that this friend’s website is a blessing and grows.

Yours in Christ,
Job

Post/Read Comments: The “Merry Christmas” Season


Vote For John McCain for President

I know…. most of you are shocked that the webservant (Job) of a conservative Christian website might support a candidate in the blog section that is pro-life, strong on national security, experienced, and has a solid history of saving money in government. Since our website is operating as an online Christian magazine (i.e., we are not a non-profit organization), then we are exercising our rights of freedom to speak out on issues that affect the Body. I will probably modify this message over the next few days stating the reasons why I am voting, as a Christian, for John McCain.

If the polls are correct, then I know that this is an unpopular view. Like a lot of Christians, I am surprised, and more than a bit disappointed, at the “polling” results for the upcoming election. Given the issues involved, like late-term abortion, assisted suicide (Washington State), murdering children *after* birth (Infanticide), gay marriage, security of the nation, economics, general moral decay and other issues, it would appear at this point that most Christians… according to the polls… are voting against the candidate that supports standard Christian views on these topics… and voting for a candidate that opposes standard Christian values.

There are many reasons why I am supporting John McCain, just a few of which are listed in the first sentence of this message. There are also many *many* reasons that motivate my belief that Barack Hussein Obama would be an extremely poor choice for President of the USA. Just *one* of the many reasons (don’t worry, you will hear more) is that Senator Obama, as we all know, has not yet served a SINGLE term in the U.S. Senate. It is time for people in the Church to wake up, and look at who they are voting into the most powerful office in the USA. In the *normal* world, a person applying for a job at a mid-level of management is expected to submit some kind of resume or job history, and of course this resume should show some record of positive accomplishment. Why is America, right now at a dangerous and risky time in economics and terror, willing to have looser standards for the President of the United States than most employers have for mid-level management in a medium sized corporation? Either the polls are wrong, or somehow the Church (all members in the Body of Christ) is being deceived into voting for things that they would *never* vote for in the past.

… and it is *not* John McCain’s fault that the economy has turned down… This great man has been thoroughly trashed by the Mainstream Media (MSM), like NBC, MSNBC, CBS, ABC, New York Times, and the usual media powerhouses with their ultra-liberal agenda. Before the election, John McCain was known as a person that tried to reduce US Government waste. But I will have more to say about this later… as I edit this post.

I will expand on this section later…


Update: 10/30/08

I would like to make a few comments about media bias that relates to the previous message. Before the election John McCain was commonly regarded as a very moderate Republican (most would say he was a liberal Republican), and Obama was commonly regarded as an extremely liberal Democrat (his record shows he is the most liberal person in the Senate). Once the election season started, the public media began describing McCain as an extremist right wing fanatic, and Obama as a moderate. You do the math. The media has dropped any pretense of being a neutral reporter of the news, and is now nothing more than a paid arm of the Democrat party. These people have been poisoning the election atmosphere with their liberal views to the extent that they now blame *everything* on George Bush, and are now compounding that with guilt by association - namely, any person that ever agreed with Bush on anything is guilty.

This election is taking place during a major downturn in the economy. The damage to the economy was built into the system over a very long time… starting long before George Bush entered office. In particular the damage from the Fannie Mae and Freddy Mac government bailout was caused by the usual suspects known for high taxes and giving away free money. For those that are interested I would recommend googling “Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac Congressional Hearings 2004″ (or click here for some youtube summaries). In these hearings the Democrats in Congress are strongly defending the practices of these institutions, while the Republicans were calling for controls. Now… back to the media… in the news today all we hear from the liberal media (NBC etc.) is that it is all George Bush’s fault. The problem was simple: the lenders were making home loans to people that could not afford homes, with encouragement from the big spenders in Congress… and you know who that is.

First of all, as a reminder of another root cause of these difficult economic times: we were attacked on 9/11/01. The resulting war had an extreme impact on our economy, and of course an even more extreme impact on our nation through the loss in lives. When you know that others want to attack you, you either need to be prepared as a nation to defend yourself, or be prepared to be overthrown, enslaved, or killed as a people. Until the Lord’s return, we need to realize that we live in a dangerous world. I believe that America’s response after the 9/11 attacks was appropriate. The Iraq war, while controversial, came about after MANY years of Saddam Hussein hiding his weapons programs and playing games with the inspectors. There was considerable evidence that Hussein had a program for developing Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD) which had everybody concerned - including the Democrats. Hussein didn’t help matters by playing games with the inspectors and ignoring multiple UN resolutions over many years. There have also been numerous reports about these WMD being transferred to Syria from Iraq shortly before the war, so the truth has yet to come out on what really happened. The one thing we know for certain is that Saddam Hussein is no longer able to mass-murder his own people with chemical weapons, as he did before. This was an expensive war in both lives and economic terms that is now drawing to a close, although the world is entering a dangerous new phase of terrorism, and hints at a *new* Cold War. So when we think about the economic cost, let’s also keep this verse in mind:


For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?
(Mark 8:36)


If the “polls” are correct, people seem to be casting away their standard Christian values in this election, and it appears that a large portion of this abandonment is based on “profit”. People are justifiably upset that the Government mismanaged the economy after a war and a no-risk below-cost house giveaway plan by the government. Well… I am upset too. That doesn’t mean that I plan to cast away all of my Christian values when picking out a leader for my country.

John McCain did NOT cause the economic downturn in the economy or your 401K, but as mentioned earlier has been known for trying to control and reduce government spending, which America needs right now. John McCain is also a centrist by nature, and in the past known for bringing people together. That is also what is needed at this time. I simply do not believe that Barack Hussein Obama can bring us together as a nation, or manage the economy well during an economic downturn.

This is something to think about when you walk into the voting booth and vote for the leader of the Free World, the most dangerous job on earth. Some of you may have lost considerable “wealth” in your 401K plans and other investments. This is hard, and the Lord understands this and will watch out for you. But of course, He also wants you to show your love for Him by acting the way He wants you to act. Just as you are called upon in your Church to make judgements and decisions, you are also called upon as a decision maker in this society to exercise reasonable judgement, by your vote, and choose leaders that believe in His ways.


Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment.
(John 7:24)


The point of this is that we live in a dangerous world. A world that hates the way we live, and that hates our freedoms… including our religious freedoms. This is not the time to elect a “President-in-Training” with less that one term’s experience in the Senate. The above passage about judgement is especially relevant in this election since many people are making judgements about McCain based on false information from liberal media outlets like NBC, MSNBC, CBS, ABC, New York Times, and others. As I said earlier in this message: I know this is not going to be a popular message if the polls are correct. Of course I have also said in the past that I have never tried to be popular… looks like I succeeded. There is really only one Person I want to be popular, and most thought about during this election: Jesus Christ.

Yours in Christ,
Job.

Post/Read Comments: Vote For John McCain for President


A Romantic View of the Presidency is Dangerous

Having a romantic view of life and of history is fine for a dreamer, but  inexcusably dangerous for a nation. Through out this election cycle there has been a comparison between John Fitzgerald Kennedy and the Barack Hussein Obama, both men being firsts and both who engendered a “Camelot view” of the Presidency,

One of the first things that gets you in trouble with a romantic view of history, intentionally or unintentionally , is that if you get it wrong, you may well repeat the mistake. Let’s compare the two men before they ran for the job of leader of the free world.

Reader’s Digest (Sept. 2008) had interviews with both Obama and McCain. They introduce Obama with a comparison to John F. Kennedy.


“Obama was never a governor, nor an executive. He did not serve in the armed forces or the House of Representatives. He worked in the private sector only briefly as a lawyer and was never a judge or a prosecutor. He wrote one highly acclaimed memoir, Dreams from My Father, and a bestseller, The Audacity of Hope, which is essentially a campaign book. He served for three years as a community organizer in Chicago, taught law school, served eight years in the Illinois state legislature, and ran for the Senate in 2004, winning against a fringe candidate from out of state.That experience pales in comparison with John Kennedy’s life before the presidency. JFK had written two books, as well, but was also a decorated naval officer in World War II, had served three terms in the House, and was in his second Senate term when he earned the 1960 nomination. “




But that said, he does share points worth exploring

Let’s remember back to the elections of 1960 when Nixon and Kennedy were discussing meeting with foreign leaders with no preconditions. During the debates, Kennedy first addressed the subject of a possible summit with the Soviet Union in the second Kennedy-Nixon debate. Unlike Obama, Kennedy expressly rejected a summit without preconditions. Yet, once he was in office, Kennedy took another path. He wrote a letter that was secretly delivered to Khrushchev in March 1961, Kennedy expressed his willingness to meet Khrushchev “before too long” for an informal exchange of views. After the Bay of Pigs fiasco, Kennedy sensed that discussions without an agenda or prior agreement might be disadvantageous to the United States. He let the matter drop, but Khrushchev accepted the invitation on May 4. The meeting was to occur in Vienna late that spring.

Now remember, in Portland on May 18, Barack Obama is telling people that this meeting with Nikita Khrushchev in Vienna led to America’s triumph over the Soviet Union in the Cold War (Audio of Portland Speech). I am sorry but if that is Barack Obama’s understanding of history, he needs to get out of the race. Obama, no one cares about “your vision” for the world-especially the world! In addition to poor judgment, Obama has demonstrated that he doesn’t know what he’s talking about. Why?

Again, you must objectively study history and learn it’s lessons or you are bound to repeat your mistakes. “By all accounts, including Kennedy’s own, the meetings were a disaster. Khrushchev berated, belittled, and bullied Kennedy on subjects ranging from Communist ideology to the balance of power between the Soviet and Western blocs, to Laos, to “wars of national liberation,” to nuclear testing. He threw down the gauntlet on Berlin in particular, all but threatening war.

“I never met a man like this,” Kennedy subsequently commented to Time’s Hugh Sidey. “[I] talked about how a nuclear exchange would kill 70 million people in ten minutes, and he just looked at me as if to say ‘So what?’” In The Fifty-Year Wound, Cold War historian Derek Leebaert drily observes of Khrushchev in Vienna, “Having worked for Stalin had its uses.”

 

Kennedy sought a brief final session with Khrushchev to clear the air regarding Berlin. In that final meeting at the Soviet embassy, however, Khrushchev bluntly told Kennedy, “It is up to the U.S. to decide whether there will be war or peace.” Kennedy responded, “Then, Mr. Chairman, there will be war. It will be a cold winter.” On this unhappy note the two leaders’ only face-to-face meeting came to an end.

Immediately following the final session on June 4 Kennedy sat for a previously scheduled interview with New York Times columnist James Reston at the American embassy. Kennedy was reeling from his meetings with Khrushchev, famously describing the meetings as the “roughest thing in my life.” Reston reported that Kennedy said just enough for Reston to conclude that Khrushchev “had studied the events of the Bay of Pigs” and that he had “decided that he was dealing with an inexperienced young leader who could be intimidated and blackmailed.” Kennedy said to Reston that Khrushchev had “just beat [the] hell out of me” and that he had presented Kennedy with a terrible problem: “If he thinks I’m inexperienced and have no guts, until we remove those ideas we won’t get anywhere with him. So we have to act.”  (link) That is how we ended up in Viet Nam-Kennedy had something to prove at the expense of 50,000 of our troops lives…Camelot….

Lets not forget though, how the US was berated after that by the Soviet Union and how JFK’s inexperience almost got us into nuclear war:


Khrushchev to John F. Kennedy

Dear Mr. President,

…. Imagine, Mr. President, what if we were to present to you such an ultimatum as you have presented to us by your actions. How would you react to it? I think you would be outraged at such a move on our part. And this we would understand.
 
Having presented these conditions to us, Mr. President, you have thrown down the gauntlet. Who asked you to do this? By what right have you done this? Our ties with the Republic of Cuba, as well as our relations with other nations, regardless of their political system, concern only the two countries between which these relations exist. And, if it were a matter of quarantine as mentioned in your letter, then, as is customary in international practice, it can be established only by states agreeing between themselves, and not by some third party. Quarantines exist, for example, on agricultural goods and products. However, in this case we are not talking about quarantines, but rather about much more serious matters, and you yourself understand this.
 
His Excellency
 
Mr. John F. Kennedy President of the United States of America
 
Washington
 
You, Mr. President, are not declaring a quarantine, but rather issuing an ultimatum, and you are threatening that if we do not obey your orders, you will then use force. Think about what you are saying! And you want to persuade me to agree to this! What does it mean to agree to these demands? It would mean for us to conduct our relations with other countries not by reason, but by yielding to tyranny. You are not appealing to reason; you want to intimidate us.
 
No, Mr. President, I cannot agree to this, and I think that deep inside, you will admit that I am right. I am convinced that if you were in my place you would do the same.
 
…. This Organization [of American States] has no authority or grounds whatsoever to pass resolutions like those of which you speak in your letter. Therefore, we do not accept these resolutions. International law exists, generally accepted standards of conduct exist. We firmly adhere to the principles of international law and strictly observe the standards regulating navigation on the open sea, in international waters. We observe these standards and enjoy the rights recognized by all nations.
 
You want to force us to renounce the rights enjoyed by every sovereign state; you are attempting to legislate questions of international law; you are violating the generally accepted standards of this law. All this is due not only to hatred for the Cuban people and their government, but also for reasons having to do with the election campaign in the USA. What morals, what laws can justify such an approach by the American government to international affairs? Such morals and laws are not to be found, because the actions of the USA in relation to Cuba are outright piracy. This, if you will, is the madness of a degenerating imperialism. Unfortunately, people of all nations, and not least the American people themselves, could suffer heavily from madness such as this, since with the appearance of modern types of weapons, the USA has completely lost its former inaccessibility.
 
Therefore, Mr. President, if you weigh the present situation with a cool head without giving way to passion, you will understand that the Soviet Union cannot afford not to decline the despotic demands of the USA. When you lay conditions such as these before us, try to put yourself in our situation and consider how the USA would react to such conditions. I have no doubt that if anyone attempted to dictate similar conditions to you — the USA, you would reject such an attempt. And we likewise say — no.
 
The Soviet government considers the violation of the freedom of navigation in international waters and air space to constitute an act of aggression propelling humankind into the abyss of a world nuclear-missile war. Therefore, the Soviet government cannot instruct captains of Soviet ships bound for Cuba to observe orders of American naval forces blockading this island. Our instructions to Soviet sailors are to observe strictly the generally accepted standards of navigation in international waters and not retreat one step from them. And, if the American side violates these rights, it must be aware of the responsibility it will bear for this act. To be sure, we will not remain mere observers of pirate actions by American ships in the open sea. We will then be forced on our part to take those measures we deem necessary and sufficient to defend our rights. To this end we have all that is necessary.
 
Respectfully, /s/ N. Khrushchev
 
N. KHRUSHCHEV
 
Moscow 24 October 1962   (link)


What is naive Obama’s next stated strategy? Snatching defeat from the jaws of victory in Iraq. Why?  Because Iraq makes him personally look bad if we win. And where is the ten billion dollars a month savings he talks about (from Iraq) going to go? Not back in the coffers. He is going to take the troops from Iraq and place them in Afghanistan and perhaps nuclear Pakistan.  That is not savings, that is troop realignment by a naive inexperienced junior senator.

This isn’t a romance novel we are reading, or a world we wish would be that starts out with Once upon a time… this is reality. This is not time for on the job training, or a romantic worldview. We are in currently in two wars; with Russia and a nuclear Iran on the rise.  America is not in the position to trust it’s fate and future to some romanticized notion that the naive junior Senator Barack Obama is up to the job .

Euthenasia on Washington State Ballot

Most of us have been caught up in the economic news and US National election news to take time to look at some of the local ballots. Our “home base” for this website is Washington State, one of the most liberal states in the nation, so we have been fighting an uphill battle for years at the local level. I got a phone call today from one of those political polling agencies that call looking for opinions on state ballot measures. Normally I don’t even answer these phone calls but for some reason I did this time. It quickly became obvious that I was speaking with another believer conducting the poll. It never ceases to amaze me where I meet people in the Body… The lady that was calling was asking my opinion on Initiative 1000, which would legalize physician assisted suicide in the state of Washington. Those of you that have browsed our site have probably read our views on abortion, and can probably guess what our views are on physician assisted suicide.

This is *precisely* what this election is about: Issues that affect the Body of Christ. We will be adding comments over the next few weeks, trying to wake up the American electorate to some of the things taking place in this society - and the ways these things impact the Church. One of the things that concerns me about this election is the large number of people in the Church voting for issues and candidates that are not well aligned with Biblical truth. Although the stock market and 401k investments may be going through tough times, that is certainly no reason to give up on Biblical Truth, or turn away from Biblical principles at the ballot box.

So let’s talk about that over the next few weeks.

Yours in Christ,
Job.

House Fails to Pass Bill, Dow Drops 777 Points

I just heard this on the business news, and I thought some of you might find it interesting:

Cost of package in Congress to *begin* fixing economic mess: $700 Billion
Drop in today’s TOTAL value in the stock market: $1,400 Billion
Change in the Value of the Dow Jones Industrial Average: 777 points




For the fact checkers out there, I heard this on CNBC on Sept. 29, 2008, after market close.


So the loss in value in today’s market drop is over TWICE the value of the package.

whew…


For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.

2 timothy 1-7, KJV




Blessings,
Job
