Does Truth Matter?

Does the truth matter to you today? Apparently it does not matter to the majority when it comes to the truth of God's WORD. They are willing to accept scientific evidence that proves a great number of things when it pertains to the subjects that they wish to consider, but when it pertains to moral or Christian issues they then refuse to accept the evidence put forth by the Holy Scriptures; which were written hundreds or even thousands of years earlier before a vast number of the facts were proven to be accurate by recent scientific discoveries.

What really saddens me today is that millions of those who say they are Christians and yet they then support the Democrats who clearly supports the abortion and homosexual agendas, which are an abomination against God's WORD. Too often Christians compromise with the world for lack of knowledge of what is written in the Holy Scriptures.

The Apostle Paul, inspired by the Holy Spirit warned us:
Preach the WORD; be prepared in season and out of season; correct, rebuke and encourage—with great patience and careful instruction. For the time will come when people will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear. They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths. 2 Tim. 4:2-4

America has become morally corrupt from its very core with leaders in the government that are full of pride in themselves, appeasers, godless, pleasure seeking, materialistic, arrogant, deceitful, cheating, swindling and stealing from her citizens. They attack and convict the innocence, and the guilty is found innocent.
Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness. - Isaiah 5:20
Most will say, "Your truth in not necessarily my truth," but truth is truth for all, no matter how much they wish it were not so.
The majority of Americans are more unset over the abuse given to animals or even to the environment than the slaughter of over 4,000 babies a day though abortion.

They shed innocent blood, the blood of their sons and daughters... and the land was desecrated by their blood.

Christians understand most of the literal meaning of the Bible, but many fail to comprehend its spiritual significance because they have not submitted themselves to God's WORD.
The person without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God but considers them foolishness, and cannot understand them because they are discerned only through the Spirit. 1 Corinthians 2:14
“How long will you who are simple love your simple ways? How long will mockers delight in mockery and fools hate knowledge? Prov. 1:22 Simple ones do not necessarily lack wisdom, but they do allow worldly interests to become the motivational force in their lives. They most often become mockers who are not interested in the truth of God’s Word. They become hardened to sin and hate the truth of God's WORD and at this point God calls them fools. Fools will never listen to God’s warnings, which should open their eyes to God’s saving Grace.

Thus, America is in great turmoil today refusing to honor the Holy One, the God of All Creation, the God who has made America great. With the denial of Christ as our Lord and Savior, America can not be healed and she refuses to give up her sins. Her sins have reached the Holy One Who sits high above the circle of the earth. But God's promise is still good for the individual; "If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin."
For wisdom will enter your heart, and knowledge will be pleasant to your soul. Discretion will protect you, and understanding will guard you. Proverbs 2:10

THE HOLY SPIRIT spoke to me on the night of Jan. 22, 1997 as I was praying, “I will pay America back double for her iniquity.”
And God also warns us, "I will carry out great vengeance on them and punish them in my wrath. Then they will know that I am the LORD, when I take vengeance on them.” Ezekiel 25:17
Therefore say to them, ‘This is the nation that has not obeyed the LORD its God or responded to correction. Truth has perished; it has vanished from their lips. Jeremiah 7:28

“The days are coming,” declares the Sovereign LORD, “When I will send a famine through the land— not a famine of food or a thirst for water, but a famine of hearing the words of the LORD. Amos 8:11-12
Peter replied, “Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. Acts 2:38

God will often move or operate in strange ways far beyond man's ability or understanding, but He will never fail to accomplish His will and fulfill His promises. And His promise to repay America back double for her iniquity is quickly coming for America... And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal. Matthew 25:46
God's invitation is open to all who would come - This is good, and pleases God our Savior, who wants all people to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth. For there is one God and one mediator between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus, who gave himself as a ransom for all people. 1 Tim. 2:3-6

What Islam Is Not

America is in great danger today, with the policies of the Obama administration, Democrats and the secular news medias embracing the lies that the Islam religion is a peaceful religion. Nothing could be farther from the truth and it is not a religion which has been hijacked by a radical element as they say, it is a religion filled with deception, hate and death.
Islam is the monotheistic religion which believes there is only one god who is named Allah. Muhammad is considered by them to be the last prophet of god. In addition to referring to the religion itself, the word Islam means 'submission to god', 'peace', 'surrender', and 'way to peace'.
Islam, the youngest of the three major religions, was conceived from hatred for the Jewish and Christian people and there is no freedom or liberty within this Muslim religion and that in it self tells us that it is not a religion of peace, nor is there any form of love within this religion.
Islam, founded by Muhammad in Arabia, chose the pre-Islamic Arabia Moon god named Allah to be the name of their god and false gods are no gods at all.

There is but one God, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob; from the seed of Abraham to Christ the Messiah who is our only Hope for the coming days of Judgement.


Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons: Acts 10:33-35
Red. yellow, black or white they are all precious in God's sight.... Hindus, Muslims, Buddhists, Jews, Christians and even Atheists are all created in God's image and loved by God.
The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance. 2 Peter 3:8-10

But in every nation he that feareth him, and worketh righteousness, is accepted with him. Acts 10:34-35

A Social Security History Lesson

Here is a history lesson on the Social Security System

Just in case some of you were to young, you weren't around at the time or maybe you don't remember any of this information.

It's easy to check out, if you don't believe it. Be sure and show it to your family and friends. They need a little history lesson on what's what and it doesn't matter whether you are Democrat or Republican. Facts are Facts.

Social Security Cards up until the 1980s expressly stated the number and card were not to be used for identification purposes. Since nearly everyone in the United States now has a number, it became convenient to use it anyway and the message, NOT FOR IDENTIFICATION, was removed.

* * * Our Social Security * * *

Franklin Roosevelt, a Democrat, introduced the Social Security (FICA) Program.

President Roosevelt promised:

1.) That participation in the Program would be Completely voluntary, No longer Voluntary.

2.) That the participants would only have to pay 1% of the first $1,400 of their annual Incomes into the Program, Now 7.65% on the first $90,000

3.) That the money the participants elected to put into the Program would be deductible from their income for tax purposes each year, No longer tax deductible

4.) That the money the participants put into the independent 'Trust Fund' rather than into the general operating fund, and therefore, would only be used to fund the Social Security Retirement Program, and no other Government program, and, Under Johnson the money was moved to The General Fund and Spent

5.) That the annuity payments to the retirees would never be taxed as income. Under Clinton & Gore Up to 85% of your Social Security can be Taxed Since many of us have paid into FICA for years and are now receiving a Social Security check every month-- and then finding that we are getting taxed on 85% of the money we paid to the Federal government to 'put away'-- you may be interested in the following:
------------ --------- --------- --------- ---- -----

Q: Which Political Party took Social Security from the independent 'Trust Fund' and put it into the general fund so that Congress could spend it?

A: It was Lyndon Johnson and the democratically controlled House and Senate.
------------ --------- --------- --------- ---------

Q: Which Political Party eliminated the income tax deduction for Social Security(FICA) withholding?

A: The Democratic Party.
------------ --------- --------- --------- ---------

Q: Which Political Party started taxing Social Security annuities?

A: The Democratic Party, with Al Gore casting the 'tie-breaking' deciding vote as President of the Senate, while he was Vice President of the United States.
------------ --------- --------- --------- ---------

Q: Which Political Party decided to start giving annuity payments to immigrants?

AND MY FAVORITE:

A: That's right! Jimmy Carter and the Democratic Party.
Immigrants moved into this country, and at age 65, began to receive Social Security payments!
The Democratic Party gave these payments to them, even though they never paid a dime into it! And why did the Democrats do this? It was a way to buy the immigrant votes.

------------ ------------ --------- ----------

Then, after violating the original contract (FICA), the Democrats turn around and tell everyone that the Republicans want to take your Social Security away!

And the worst part about all of this, the uninformed citizen believes it!

AND TO TOP ALL OF THIS: CONGRESS GIVES THEMSELVES 100% RETIREMENT FOR ONLY SERVING ONE TERM!!!


**********************

I believe it is time for another Tea Party.... Might I suggest we hold this one in Washington DC and maybe we could look for something else to throw into the Tidal Basin... if you get my drift.

Embracing the Muslim Brotherhood

I wonder.... Am I the only one who thinks it is time for the "Second American Revolution" to begin? Or maybe it would be considered the "Second Civil War."

*****************************

The Tipping Point: Embracing the Muslim Brotherhood
F R A N K J. G A F F N E Y, J R.













The Obama administration chose the eve of the holiday marking our Nation's birth to acknowledge publicly behavior in which it has long been stealthily engaged to the United States' extreme detriment: Its officials now admit that they are embracing the Muslim Brotherhood (MB or Ikhwan in Arabic). That would be the same international Islamist organization that has the destruction of the United States, Israel and all other parts of the Free World as its explicit objective.

On Thursday, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton tried to downplay the momentousness of this major policy shift by portraying it during a stopover in Budapest as follows: "The Obama administration is continuing the approach of limited contacts with the Muslim Brotherhood that have existed on and off for about five or six years." In fact, as former federal prosecutor Andrew McCarthy points out in a characteristically brilliant, and scathing, dissection of this announcement, Team Obama's official, open legitimation of the Brotherhood marks a dramatic break from the U.S. government's historical refusal to deal formally with the Ikhwan.

To understand why the Obama administration's embrace of the Muslim Brotherhood is so ominous, consider three insights into the organization's nature and ambitions:

First, here's the MB's creed: "Allah is our objective. The Prophet is our leader. The Qur'an is our law. Jihad is our way. Dying in the way of Allah is our highest hope." (Source: Husain Haqqani and Hillel Fradkin, "Islamist Parties: Going Back to the Origins.")

Second, here's the Ikwhan's mission in America:

"A kind of grand jihad in eliminating and destroying the Western civilization from within, sabotaging its miserable house with their [i.e., Americans'] hands and the hands of the believers so that it is eliminated and God's religion is made victorious over all other religions." (Source: Muslim Brotherhood's "Explanatory Memorandum on the General Strategic Goals of the Group," entered into evidence by the Department of Justice in the 2008 Holy Land Foundation terrorism-finance trial. Archived at the NEFA Foundation.)

Third, here are excerpts from the Muslim Brotherhood's "phased plan" for accomplishing that mission:

Phase One: Discreet and secret establishment of leadership.
Phase Two: Phase of gradual appearance on the public scene and exercising and utilizing various public activities. It greatly succeeded in implementing this stage. It also succeeded in achieving a great deal of its important goals, such as infiltrating various sectors of the Government.
Phase Three: Escalation phase, prior to conflict and confrontation with the rulers, through utilizing mass media. Currently in progress.
Phase Four: Open public confrontation with the Government through exercising the political pressure approach. It is aggressively implementing the above-mentioned approach. Training on the use of weapons domestically and overseas in anticipation of zero-hour. It has noticeable activities in this regard.
Phase Five: Seizing power to establish their Islamic Nation under which all parties and Islamic groups are united. (Source: Undated Muslim Brotherhood Paper entitled, "Phases of the World Underground Movement Plan." Archived at Shariah: The Threat to America.)

In short, the Muslim Brotherhood is deadly serious about waging what it calls "civilization jihad" against the United States and other freedom-loving nations in order to secure their submission to the Islamic totalitarian political-military-legal doctrine called shariah. The MB's goal in this country is to replace our Constitution with theirs, namely the Koran. And they regard this task as one commanded by none other than Allah. (For more details on the nature, ambitions and modus operandi of the Ikhwan, see the Team B II Report, Shariah: The Threat to America). To this end, as Andy McCarthy notes in the aforementioned essay, the MB's senior official, Supreme Guide Muhammad Badi, has effectively declared war on the United States.

Were there any doubt that legitimacy is what the Ikhwan is taking away from this gambit, consider this assessment from an expert in Islamic groups, Ammar Ali Hassan, cited by Associated Press: "...The Brotherhood will likely try to float ‘conditions' or ‘reservations' on any dialogue to avoid a perception that it is allowing the U.S. to meddle in Egypt's internal affairs. But in the end, the talks will give a boost to the group, he said, by easing worries some in the Brotherhood and the public have of a backlash if the Brotherhood becomes the dominant player in Egypt. ‘Now the Muslim Brotherhood will not have to worry [about] moving forward toward taking over power,' Hassan said." Unfortunately, the U.S. government's dangerous outreach to the Ikhwan is not confined to Egypt but is systematically practiced inside the United States, as well. For example:

Muslim-American organizations identified in court by the U.S. government - and, in many cases, by the Muslim Brotherhood itself - as MB fronts are routinely cultivated by federal, state and local officials. Representatives of homeland security, Pentagon, intelligence and law enforcement agencies frequently meet with and attend functions sponsored by such groups.

MB-associated individuals are sent as our country's "goodwill ambassadors" to foreign Muslim nations and communities. MB-favored initiatives to insinuate shariah into the United States - notably, the Ground Zero Mosque and shariah-compliant finance, conscientious objector status for Muslim servicemen and stifling of free speech in accordance with shariah "blasphemy" laws - are endorsed and/or enabled by official institutions.

A blind eye is turned to the presence across the country of shariah-adherent mosques that incubate jihadism. A peer-reviewed study published last month in Middle East Quarterly determined that 81% of a random sample of 100 mosques exhibited such qualities - constituting an infrastructure for recruitment, indoctrination and training consistent with the Brotherhood's phased plan.

Under both Republican and Democratic administrations, individuals with family and other ties to the Muslim Brotherhood have actually given senior government positions. The most recent of these to come to light is Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's Deputy Chief of Staff, Huma Abedin (who also happens to be former Rep. Anthony Weiner's wife).

It seems a safe bet that, as Team Obama legitimates Muslim Brotherhood organizations and groups overseas, it will feel ever less constrained about further empowering their counterparts in the United States. If so, the MB will come to exercise even greater influence over what our government does and does not do about the threat posed by shariah, both abroad and here.

The absolutely predictable effect will be to undermine U.S. interests and allies in the Middle East and further catalyze the Brotherhood's campaign to insinuate shariah in the United States and, ultimately, to supplant the Constitution with Islamic law. Consequently, the Obama administration's efforts to "engage" the Muslim Brotherhood are not just reckless. They are wholly incompatible with the President's oath to "preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States" and the similar commitment made by his subordinates.

These officials' now-open embrace of the Muslim Brotherhood constitutes a geo-strategic tipping point, one that must catalyze an urgent national debate on this question: Does such conduct violate their oath of office by endangering the Constitution they have undertaken to uphold?

At a minimum, such a debate would afford a much-needed opportunity to examine alternatives to the administration's present course - as well as the real risks associated with that its intensifying pursuit. For instance, one of the most astute American authorities on the Middle East in general and the Muslim Brotherhood in particular, Dr. Michael Rubin of the American Enterprise Institute, wrote in a posting at The American blog yesterday:

"Rather than embrace the Brotherhood, the Obama administration should be seeking to ensure that the group cannot dominate Egypt. Most analysts agree that the Muslim Brotherhood is by far the best organized group in Egypt, but that it only enjoys perhaps 25 or 30 percent support. The secular opposition remains weak and fractured. If the Obama administration wishes to remain engaged in Egypt's future and shape the best possible outcome for both U.S. national security and the Egyptian people, it should be pushing for electoral reform to change Egypt's dysfunctional system to a proportional representation model in which the secular majority can form a coalition to check a Muslim Brotherhood minority for which true democracy is anathema."

The same goes for the enemy within. Instead of relying upon - let alone hiring - Muslim Brotherhood operatives and associates, the United States government should be shutting down their fronts, shariah-adherent, jihad-incubating "community centers" and insidious influence operations in America. By recognizing these enterprises for what they are, namely vehicles for fulfilling the seditious goals of the MB's civilization jihad, they can and must be treated as prosecutable subversive enterprises, not protected religious ones under the U.S. Constitution.

Let the debate begin.

A Bible Reading

Read Psalms 67 – 71

Highlights:

A Messianic prophecy is recorded (Ps. 68:18) and its fulfillment proclaimed in the New Testament (Eph. 4:8). Today's reading ends with the personal testimony of a devout old man praising the Holy One of Israel (Ps. 71:9,22-23) for his redemption.

Without God, life is empty and unsatisfying; a life of sin is soon disappointing, barren, and wretched: The rebellious dwell in a dry land (Ps. 68:6). Sin cannot produce peace, real love, or satisfaction. The person who trusts in God and His Word is led to praise Him regardless of life's ups and downs. Christianity has been misrepresented by Satan and his crowd as a gloomy, dull experience. But for a Christian all things work together for good to them that love God (Rom. 8:28). The fact is that our Heavenly Father equally loves every Christian so much that the very hairs of your head are all numbered (Matt. 10:30). This means He never overlooks any detail or any person. Regardless of what material or physical things we may experience as Christians, all is for our good and His glory. All things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to His purpose. . . . in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him that loved us (Rom. 8:28,37).

Even the trying experiences of life can produce good blessings. Trials are often a blessing in disguise and temporal loss can result in spiritual enrichment. Although we look forward to meeting Jesus, most of us want to make the most out of our life here, hopefully doing all we can for Him. So a Christian's greatest losses and crosses may lead to his greatest gains and joys.
But it is far different with the rebellious. To them, earthly losses often lead to bitterness — the rebellious dwell in a dry land. The brightest prospects of sinful enjoyment eventually leave their victims empty and wretched.

To Christians the future is radiant, beautiful, and inviting. Thou . . . shalt quicken me (make me alive) . . . and shalt bring me up again from the depths of the earth (Ps. 71:20). But of the rebellious, Jesus said: Cast ye the unprofitable servant into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. . . . These should go away into everlasting punishment: (notice what He said about true believers: But the righteous into life eternal (Matt. 25:30,46).

Thought for Today:

In the way of righteousness is life; and in the pathway thereof there is no death (Prov. 12:28).

******************

My prayer today is that all would see the value of reading through the Bible. This has been a great comfort and strength to me and I pray, Thank You, Father God for your love and your loving hand of correction when I do wrong... Oh that I would be the man of God that You want me to be. Amen

God Bless the U.S.A. by Lee Greenwood

"Some people spend an entire lifetime wondering if they made a difference in the world But the U.S. ARMED FORCES don't have that problem." ....Ronald Reagan
