OBAMA'S FIRST FEW DAYS...GOD HELP US!!!!

Well Barack Obama finished his first week in the highest office in the land by mocking conservatives, gloating about having won the election, and telling republicans to get in line with his program. I am so thrilled that we have such a bi-partisan leader.



And of course he lifted the ban on the funding of abortions all over the globe.

That's right; now your tax dollars will go to third world countries all over the world and will be used to counsel, refer and pay for the murder of the unborn.

Why should this be a surprise? He was the most pro-death (pro-abortion) senator in the history of the country. He makes Gloria Steinem look like James Dobson.

Mark my words (my prediction)...The re-legalization of partial birth abortion is not far behind.

While the trillions that he wants to spend on the stimulus (sic) program will cripple our country financially for any foreseeable future generation...The murder of the unborn, that he is will facilitate will do so much more damage than any financial blunders he can make. Where will those future generations come from to pay for this stimulus if he has them murdered in the womb?

While G. W. Bush failed at many things...he did attempt to promote a culture of life...but as we can see, any President can only do so much. We cannot allow Mr. Obama to run roughshod over our culture like this. It is time for men and women of character to stand up for a culture of life. We do not need to have a champion in the White House in order to accomplish this. If we wait for a messiah figure on a white horse, we will lose the battle. Now is the time to stand for life.

"The Lord Our Righteousness"

Knowing therefore the terrors of the Lord, let me persuade you to close with Christ, and never rest till you can say, "the Lord our righteousness." Who knows but the Lord may have mercy and abundantly pardon you?

Beg of God to give you faith; and, if the Lord gives you that, you will by it receive Christ with His righteousness and His All. You need not fear the greatness or number of your sins.

For are you sinners? So am I. Are you the chief of sinners? So am I. Are you backsliding sinners? So am I. And yet the Lord (forever adored be His rich, free and sovereign grace), the Lord is my righteousness.

Come then, O young man, who (as I acted once myself) is playing the prodigal, and wandering away far away from your heavenly Father's house. Come home. Come home and leave your swine's trough. Feed no longer on the husks of sensual delights.

For Christ's sake arise and come home! Your heavenly Father now calls you. See yonder the best robe, even the righteousness of His dear Son, awaits you. See it. View it again and again.

Consider at how dear a rate it was purchased, even by the blood of God. Consider what great need you have of it. You are lost, undone, damned forever without it.

George Whitefield 1714-1770

The Reformation Resolution

NEW YEARS DAY Approaches. With the New Year typically comes "New Years Resolutions". I hereby resolve to stop drinking soda. I hereby resolve to loose ten pounds. I hereby resolve to exercise everyday...or at least 5 days aweek, weather pending, and if I can squeeze it into my schedule.

How often have we set out to reform a particular area of our lives only to find out that the hard facts of life are we rarely control even our own activities. The scroll on the left illustrates religion that is man centered, self-help driven and based in a personal reformation.

Biblical faith includes none of that. The teaching of the bible is that salvation is God oriented, God directed, and free to the sinner. The bible also teaches in the area of sanctification that this too is the work of God, not the activity or the result of the will of man. Man can do nothing to make himself acceptable to God and all efforts to do so are "Like filthy rags".

A religion that is man centered is by default a religion that rejects God. Biblical religion is God centered and to when we add to that, the efforts of man, it reveals the hopelss and godlessness of that religion.

Romans 11:5-6 "Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace. And if by grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. BUT IF IT BE OF WORKS, THEN IS IT NO MORE GRACE: otherwise work is no more work.

Works and grace are incompatable in the salvation of sinners. So for this new year, put aside all human effort. Lean on the finished work of Christ and the will of the father to apply that finished work by the soveriegn Holy Spirit, who, like the wind, blows where he wills and no man can tell where he comes from or where he goes. John 3:8

Happy New Year...May yours be God centered.

He That Keepeth Israel Shall Never Slumber or Sleep

Poor Santa, had to take a nap. But as you go into the New Year be aware of the fact that our God never sleeps and is diligently looking out for his own. We can take comfort going into the new year the words of the Psalmist.

Psalm 121:3-4 “He will not suffer thy foot to be moved; he that keepeth thee will not slumber. Behold, He that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep.”

This picture reminds me of Proverbs 6:10

“Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep.
So shall thy poverty come as one that travelleth, and thy want as an armed man.”

There are many like Santa in the world who would promise comfort and ease (A fairy-tale). Many false shepherds who claim to be watching out for us;

“He knows when you are sleeping, he knows when you’re awake”.

The words of that song are a false promise…

The only one who knows our coming in and our going out is our Jehovah, our Prince of Peace, Our King of Kings, our Bright and Morning Star, our EMMANUEL-GOD WITH US. Our one and only savior Jesus. It is He Who watches over us in this year and the next. In this life and the next. Put not your hopes and dreams in the illusion that is the world’s holiday, put your life in the hands of the king-born in a manger, born to set the captive free, born-the King of the Jews, and the savior of the world.

Merry Christmas.

And yes that is a very cute picture…I know that is not the real Santa anyway…lol
