Words of Wisdom
Words of wisdom from a Christian Brother.... Oh, that the world would read and understand Mike's message.
Mike Bell bellministry@yahoo.com Mike can also be found on FaceBook
*********************
"If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land:" (Isaiah 1:19)
Is your level of obedience to God's word match up to your level of knowledge of God's word?
Many Christians hear the clear teaching of the Word of God but they have already made up their mind to do it 'their way'. Man's way will lead to ruin and devastation while God's way will lead to prosperity and victory.
There is only one time where the word 'success' is mentioned in scripture and it does not refer to having a big beautiful house, new cars, a boat, motorcycle, and 2.5 kids.
Joshua 1:8 states, "This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success."
According to the Bible, the way to success is obedience to what is written in the word of God.
Obedience to the Bible equals success. Day after day, I see Christians that are in direct disobedience to the word of God and yet they complain when things go wrong in their lives. Now how is our obedience to the Bible? Pray and ask the Lord to show you where you could improve your level of obedience. Everyone of us could improve our level of obedience... Let us all determine to start obeying more today!
The Degree of Your Obedience
WILL ALWAYS EQUAL
The Degree of Your Empowering

God's Justice Will Prevail
This from one that has perverted justice and has shown her support for the homosexual and abortion agendas.
One can call upon God every day of their life, but if their actions are not in line with God's desires then all the talk of the WORD in the world will not save them.
A fool finds no pleasure in understanding but delights in airing his (her) own opinions. Prov. 18:2
A false witness will not go unpunished, and he (she) who pours out lies will perish. Prov. 19:9

Amazing Grace
This little girls' Mother passed away a few months before this was recorded.
I cry every time I hear this song now.... Realizing that God's awesome Love and Grace even covers a sinner like me.

If everything in this video is true then I think it is time for the United States Military to rise up and remove this man from the White House... And place him in prison for the next 50 years for High Treason and Crimes against the State..

The Stand Up America Blog - Muslims are Exempt? NASA has a new mission?
Published on 07/06/10
Editor’s Note:
Health Care Bill, and then NASA, what’s next? Obama is pushing the Muslim world upon us in so many ways. Recently, Lt.G. Tom McInerney was apprised of a section of the Health Care Bill and was stunned when he looked it up. Low and behold, yes, Muslims are exempt. He then sent this short note to us all, and I thought you might want to read it as well:
By Lt. General Tom McInerney, SUA Kitchen Cabinet Member
Dhimmitude!
It’s on page 107 of the healthcare bill.
I looked this up on Google and yep, it exists! It’s a REAL word. Amish are also excluded. I think I could become Amish a whole lot easier than Muslim. Word of the Day: Dhimmitude.
The Obama Health Care bill is the establishment of Dhimmitude and Sharia Muslim diktat in the United States. Muslims are specifically exempted from the government mandate to purchase insurance, and also from the penalty tax for being uninsured. Islam considers insurance to be “gambling”, “risk-taking” and “usury” and is thus banned. Muslims are specifically granted exemption based on this.
Dhimmitude serves two purposes: it enriches the Muslim masters AND serves to drive conversions to Islam. In this case, the incentive to convert to Islam will be taken up by those in the inner-cities as well as the godless Generation X, Y and Z types who have no moral anchor. If you don’t believe in Christ to begin with, it is no problem whatsoever to sell Him for 30 pieces of silver.. “Sure, I’ll be a Muslim if it means free health insurance and no taxes. Where do I sign, bro?”
I recommend sending this post to your contacts. This is desperately important and people need to know about it – quickly.

Pres. Obama and The Oil Crisis
As much as I would like to blame Pres. Obama for this crisis there are a lot of others that should be in the hot seat first.
The way I see this the first dunking should be for the environmentalist and lobbyist, who push for the new laws to restrain and/or restrict from drilling in other areas which were much more accessible for drilling..
The second dunking should be reserved for the congressmen and senators who passed those laws.
Third dunking should be for BP for cutting corners on materials or safety; and then the fourth dunking should be reserved for Pres. Obama who could have reacted quicker to the initial disaster minimizing the impact of the oil reaching our shores.

Sleeping In Class Again
Another Valuable History Lesson
God: Please forgive your servant..... I just couldn't resist the temptation.
**********************************
Subject: RAILROAD TRACKS
The US standard railroad gauge (distance between the rails) is 4 feet, 8.5 inches. That's an exceedingly odd number.
Why was that gauge used? Because that's the way they built them in England, and English expatriates designed the US railroads.
Why did the English build them like that? Because the first rail lines were built by the same people who built the pre-railroad tramways, and that's the gauge they used.
Why did 'they' use that gauge then? Because the people who built the tramways used the same jigs and tools that they had used for building wagons, which used that wheel spacing.
Why did the wagons have that particular odd wheel spacing? Well, if they tried to use any other spacing, the wagon wheels would break on some of the old, long distance roads in England, because that's the spacing of the wheel ruts.
So who built those old rutted roads? Imperial Rome built the first long distance roads in Europe (including England ) for their legions. Those roads have been used ever since.
And the ruts in the roads? Roman war chariots formed the initial ruts, which everyone else had to match for fear of destroying their wagon wheels.
Since the chariots were made for Imperial Rome, they were all alike in the matter of wheel spacing. Therefore the United States standard railroad gauge of 4 feet, 8.5 inches is derived from the original specifications for an Imperial Roman war chariot. Bureaucracies live forever.
So the next time you are handed a specification/procedure/process and wonder 'What horse's ass came up with this?' , you may be exactly right. Imperial Roman army chariots were made just wide enough to accommodate the rear ends of two war horses. (Two horses' asses.)
Now, the twist to the story:
When you see a Space Shuttle sitting on its launch pad, there are two big booster rockets attached to the sides of the main fuel tank. These are solid rocket boosters, or SRBs. The SRBs are made by Thiokol at their factory in Utah
The engineers who designed the SRBs would have preferred to make them a bit fatter, but the SRBs had to be shipped by train from the factory to the launch site. The railroad line from the factory happens to run through a tunnel in the mountains, and the SRBs had to fit through that tunnel. The tunnel is slightly wider than the railroad track, and the railroad track, as you now know, is about as wide as two horses' behinds.
So, a major Space Shuttle design feature of what is arguably the world's most advanced transportation system was determined over two thousand years ago by the width of a horse's ass.
And you thought being a horse's ass wasn't important? Ancient horse's asses control almost everything...
and The CURRENT Horse Asses in Washington are controlling everything else!!!

FREEDOM ISN'T FREE...
This is from a email that was sent to me.
******************************
When I was a kid, I couldn't understand why Eisenhower was so popular. Maybe this will explain why.
It is a matter of history that when the Supreme Commander of the Allied Forces, General Dwight Eisenhower, found the victims of the death camps he ordered all possible photographs to be taken, and for the German people from surrounding villages to be ushered through the camps and even made to bury the dead.
He did this because he said in words to this effect: 'Get it all on record now - get the films - get the witnesses - because somewhere down the road of history some bastard will get up and say that this never happened.'
This week, the UK debated whether to remove The Holocaust from its school curriculum because it 'offends' the Muslim population which claims it never occurred. It is NOT removed as yet.. However, this is a frightening portion of the fear that is gripping the world and how easily each country is giving into it.
It is now more than 60 years after the Second World War in Europe ended. This e-mail is being sent as a memorial chain, in memory of the 6 million Jews, 20 million Russians, 10 million Christians, and 1,900 Catholic priests Who were 'murdered, raped, burned, starved, beat, experimented on and humiliated' while the German people looked the other way!
Now, more than ever, with Iran, among others, claiming the Holocaust to be a myth, it is imperative to make sure the world never forgets.
This e-mail is intended to reach 400 million people! Be a link in the memorial chain and help distribute this around the world.
I wonder how many years will it be before the attack on the World Trade Center 'NEVER HAPPENED' because it offends some Muslim in the U.S.?
FREEDOM ISN'T FREE... SOMEONE HAD TO PAY FOR IT
History provides a very valuable record of who we are and what we stand for!

The First America Heroes
Here is an interesting part of our early history, you may not have heard…
Five signers were captured by the British as traitors, and tortured before they died.
Twelve had their homes ransacked and burned.
Two lost their sons serving in the Revolutionary Army; another had two sons captured.
Nine of the 56 fought and died from wounds or hardships of the Revolutionary War.
They signed and they pledged their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor.
What kind of men were they?
Twenty-four were lawyers and jurists.
Eleven were merchants, nine were farmers and large plantation owners; men of means, well educated, but they signed the Declaration of Independence knowing full well that the penalty would be death if they were captured.
Carter Braxton of Virginia, a wealthy planter and trader, saw his ships swept from the seas by the British Navy. He sold his home and properties to pay his debts, and died in rags.
Thomas McKeam was so hounded by the British that he was forced to move his family almost constantly.
He served in the Congress without pay, and his family was kept in hiding. His possessions were taken from him, and poverty was his reward.
Vandals or soldiers looted the properties of Dillery, Hall, Clymer, Walton, Gwinnett, Heyward, Ruttledge, and Middleton.
At the battle of Yorktown, Thomas Nelson, Jr., noted that the British General Cornwallis had taken over the Nelson home for his headquarters. He quietly urged General George Washington to open fire. The home was destroyed, and Nelson died bankrupt.
Francis Lewis had his home and properties destroyed. The enemy jailed his wife, and she died within a few months.
John Hart was driven from his wife's bedside as she was dying. Their 13 children fled for their lives. His fields and his gristmill were laid to waste. For more than a year he lived in forests and caves, returning home to find his wife dead and his children vanished.
So, take a few minutes while enjoying your 4th of July holiday and silently thank these patriots. It's not much to ask for the price they paid.
Remember: freedom is never free!
It's time we get the word out that patriotism is NOT a sin, and the Fourth of July has more to it than beer, picnics, and baseball games.

Change Is Possible
John Podhoretz
How are those of us who stand in opposition to the domestic agenda and for eign-policy views of President Obama and his administration to think about this country in 2010 as we approach the nation's birthday on Sunday?
Or, to put it another way: How should a self-described patriot think, act and talk about the United States if that self-described patriot believes the elected leadership of the United States has led the country into a ditch that threatens to expand into a bottomless chasm?
Does the fault lie with the president and his party, or does it reside in the electorate that installed them? If it resides in the electorate, what does that say about the condition of the United States?
People interested in public policy and politics with a philosophical bent are profoundly attracted to these sorts of questions. They seem to cut through the fog of specifics to the clarity provided by an inquiry into the basics, into first things.
(After all, it gets tedious after a while to say, "This detail is what's wrong with the Obama approach to health care," or "That consequenceindicts the entirety of the Bush approach in the War on Terror." Arguments conducted on that level invite endless counterarguments and rebuttals. Worse, they elevate the opposition as worthy of engagement -- when a ferocious and passionate partisan seeks to discredit the opposition. To delegitimize the opposition.)
In the case of Barack Obama, the root questions are: Who is he and why is he doing this?
Opponents answer the question in many ways, from the clear-cut (he's a Chicago Democrat) to the more suggestive (he's a 1970s-era campus leftist) to the silly (he wasn't born in America) to the sinister (he's a secret Muslim or Communist).
Conveniently, this kind of focus on Obama personally exempts the rest of the country from any blame, except for being so foolish as to fall for Obama's patter: The fault lies not in ourselves but in our leaders.
But for those who are unsatisfied with this, the blame attaches not to Obama himself -- after all, he really did tell us what he intended to do, by telling Joe the Plumber he wanted to redistribute wealth.
Rather, the blame attaches to the electorate for its foolishness in believing the hype, or for falling for the siren song of the European social democracy that Obama is eager to impose. So the root question here is: Have the American people changed?
Fascinating though all this might be, the story of the last couple of years is a relatively simple one -- and speaks to the genius of the American system that we have every reason to celebrate this weekend.
The American political system presents two choices to the American people -- Republicans or Democrats. After preferring Republicans for a few election cycles in the early years of the first decade of this century and not liking the result, the electorate decided to go for Democrats for a few election cycles. It now appears they don't like this result either -- and will now go back to the Republicans and give them another chance.
The body politic is not panicking, even though the news is dire -- because it knows, somehow, that this too shall pass. America has faced worse times and weathered them. Even within our memory, it has had other leaders who also misunderstood their mandates and offered solutions to the nation's problems that only exacerbated them.
The body politic learns from its mistakes and uses its power to correct them. Taken as a whole, this bunch of rubes and dupes and boobs shows a remarkably commonsensical approach to these things by saying, in essence:
Nothing is irreversible. Change is possible.
The political message of July 4, 2010 that is looking increasingly like a harbinger of doom for the man who popularized it two years ago is simply this:
Yes, we can.
