From Dan:
Seems to be quite a trend going on these days, I
think these things are connected.
1) My company was recently bought by another company. The new company had
individual meetings with us to explain the "company culture". At the end of
the meeting, we were asked to verbalize our commitment to the company
culture, with a yes or a no. Visualize this, one adult, saying to another -
"Now if you agree to our culture, please answer Yes".
Unbelievable. This is the same tactics car salesmen use to get you in a
"yes" verbal pattern.
2) In a meeting room of another company, I noticed some hand-written notes
on their white-board, apparently taken during an exercise on how to train
team members. In an outline, one of the points said - "results-oriented".
Another said "facilitate - don't preach". And lastly, it said "get a verbal
commitment".
3) This one really hit me square in the face Berit. It's a television
commercial for Lexus automobiles. It shows a gentleman walking thru a
metropolitan area, with extremely fast-moving scenery, attempting to give
the impression that things are changing very quickly, and the gentleman (aka
the viewer) is looking things over, as if contemplating what to do. Then the
narrator steps in, and says something about how the world is changing very
quickly, and then in a very pointed way, says - "Are you IN, or OUT". I got
a very creepy feeling when he said this.
He was asking for a commitment, and drawing a line in the sand. It's Us or
Them. You're with us or against us. You're either in the group, or out, and
if you're out, you're going to be passed by.
This onslaught is happening very quickly Berit, and seems to be increasing
exponentially.
From
Jennifer (Texas): My spouse was in
the military for over a decade. I have cursory knowledge of the world of
security (background investigation, clearances [I had one myself], etc...).
In 1993 I began to conduct research on the reformation of education and
discovered that there is an invisible web connecting just about everything
under the sun. Echelon, Total Information Awareness, Matrix, etc... systems
will be the means by which global citizens (and any resistance) are
monitored.
I attended a service school in 1999. It was
there that a lady spoke to us about the important role we would serve in
our communities as eyes and ears for law enforcement and social services.
As cosmetologists, barbers, and manicurists we would be in a unique position
to note the activities and conditions of the lives of our clients. She told
us that people in other fields of employment would do the same (letter
carriers, truck drivers/delivery personnel, bartenders, etc...). If a client
were to "sound or appear" to us as though he/she was a victim of abuse or an
abuser, we should contact law enforcement or social services. The same with
the appearance/suspicion of use of illegal substances. There were other
examples of behavior that could undermine the community.
Then she told us that we could possibly be
held accountable if we did not report our suspicions to the authorities.
I was very wary of her statements, suggestions, and implications. That
spurned investigation that unveiled community policing, TIPS, and so
on. We are being conditioned to be informants. I have often wondered if
this, in part, is what the Bible alludes to when revealing children turning
against parents (people turning against one another). I was pleased when I
found your website... now I know that I am not alone.
Over years of sharing my research I am still
most surprised by the venom spewed by Christians. I have been called
un-American, unpatriotic, and a conspiracy theorist. Isn't Satan's
mission a conspiracy against God?
When I shared my research with pastors, they
told me that the information would be a negative influence in the church.
One pastor said that the people sitting out there have enough trouble
ingesting and digesting sermons and Bible studies -- and that my kind of
information would upset and confuse them. Didn't God tell us to watch for
the signs of the times? Given the experience that I have had with
Christians, they're more like the three monkeys. I guess most will continue
to march in the parade even as the rain begins to wash them away.
Yes, all these things are
happening, while most people – inside and outside their churches – go on
their merry way. It’s like the “days of Noah,” isn’t it?
(Old
Testament) "God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the
earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was
only evil continually. ... And the LORD said, I will destroy man
whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast,
and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air.... But Noah
found grace in the eyes of the LORD." Genesis 6:5-8
(New Testament) "
And
as it was in the days of Noah, so it will be also in the days
of the Son of Man: They ate, they drank, they married wives, they
were given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark,
and the flood came and destroyed them all." Luke 17:26-27
"...when they say,
'Peace and safety!' then sudden destruction comes upon
them.... Therefore let us not sleep, as others do, but let us watch
and be sober. "
1 Thessalonians
5:3-6
From George: A quote from the
article: "All things being equal, they are not. As first world consumers,
we have tremedous power. What we collectively choose to buy, or not to buy,
can change the course of life and history on this planet."
If you believe this, then let me tell you another story: Last night at one
oclock in the morning, an empty bus full of people ran over a dead cat and
killed it. If you don't believe me, ask the blind man, he saw it all.
From
Nancy:
I thought I could get my
alternative licensure for teaching here in Colorado in ESL. I thought that
I could minister to our Hispanic population by teaching the kids English. I
was even offered a position to teach in an elementary school. I quickly
learned, however, that I would mostly be teaching core curriculum in an
easier, watered down fashion; not actually teaching English.
I even attended a two day
seminar the end of June entitled SIOP. It is a method for teaching
classroom material to English language learners. Wow! What an eye opener
those two days were. I experienced almost everything I've been reading on
your website.
The two days were spent doing
a variety of group activities - we had outcome based goals for each session
and had to evaluate ourselves to see if we had met those outcomes (thoughts
and opinions). Many of our assessments consisted of raising our
fingers, standing up in front of others. There was a lot of peer
pressure, individual thoughts was discouraged.
At one point I raised my hand
and offered an idea on how students could review and study for a test. It
was not what she wanted to hear, and she quickly dismissed me,
my idea and went to someone else. I felt embarrassed.
This methodology we
experienced was what the school district wants to adopt. So many of the
buzz words you have written about were used - facilitated dialogue to
replace old beliefs (in this case "old" ways of teaching), mastery learning,
critical thinking (I was criticized and challenged for offering a
traditional belief on a way to teach), higher order thinking skills, (we
heard a lot about Bloom's taxonomy and in group activities were criticized
if we offered questions that came from the knowledge level).
I could go on and on, but
when I saw your pages: "Three
Sets of Meanings of Educational Buzzwords" and "Soviet
Education under Lenin Models U.S. Education for the New millennium,"
I was blown away by how I had just spent two days being indoctrinated into
it. The next week I called the superintendent and told him I would not be
signing the contract. I could not see God in Heaven and tell Him that I did
teach the kids evolution -- and that Christianity is just "one of many
belief systems that people use to explain the unknown" (Colorado Social
Studies standard).
I live in a place where there
are few Christian schools, so I am at a crossroads as to what to do for a
job, possibly be a receptionist somewhere. I would covet your prayers. No
one in my family will understand what I have done, but I feel it was what
God would want. And I thank you that your website is a source of knowledge
and comfort to me."
Thank you, Nancy. You make me
all the more grateful
for
God’s
sovereign guidance and
protection
in the midst of this
storm of turbulent challenges and hard choices.
I am praying for you, and I
hope many others will as well.
From
Jennifer Kelly: Found
your site tonight as I was searching for some info on the Prussian
education system that has been implemented into our schools and society.
I am constantly amazed at how much I do not know about our nations past
and consequent future. I am very careful about the christian websites I
visit, reading as much as possible to make sure they are in line with
scripture.
What
attracted me to your site first was your articles concerning Rick
Warren. I too have chosen to disregard Rick's works as minimally
Christian, and destructively Christian at it's worst. Others think I'm
crazy, but I guess that's what happens...persecution. I am a
homeschooling, home churching mother of six. I appreciated your candid
comments on Star Wars. My children do love to watch star wars, but I
will be limiting their future exposure based on your honest insight. I
am usually VERY CAREFUL with their input, but have slacked off recently,
I'm not sure why? We don't watch television, but you are right, it is
the subtle enemy that gains the greatest ground. I got shook by your
site tonight, so much so that at 12:00 a.m. am sick to my stomach and
repenting for not catching the subtlety of the destruction that is right
in front of my kids when they watch a simple movie like Star Wars. Thank
you so much for shaking me back to protecting my kids. Our vigilant
watch over them must continue 24/7.
We, as a Christian body, are so blinded. I started to write that
"we've been blinded", but the truth is we've chosen our own
blindness. We refuse to see and understand that which God
placed right in front of our own noses. Many years ago, I felt the
urge to pray for wisdom, knowledge and understanding for myself in
my walk through life. I can't tell you how much deception it has
kept me from.
Please DO NOT STOP TEACHING THE TRUTH. The truth is VERY UNPOPULAR, but
then He said it would be...I know that what is coming to our country and
to our world will be very painful and heartbreaking to those who truly
trust and follow him. It will be difficult at best. We need to know that
there are others out there, and that we are not alone. The apostasy IS
coming and MANY WILL fall away. Their belief in Christ is one of
convenience and will be quickly fleeting in times of difficulty. But
that is how God has always purged the church...trials and tribulations!
America is in for a great shaking I'm afraid and it will not be a pretty
one.
Yes,
the apostasy is spreading fast, and it’s amazing to see the today’s
version of the problem faced by Old Testament prophets: people who
had eyes, but couldn’t see – and ears, but couldn’t hear. It seems
strange, doesn’t. But all the more I thank God for opening my eyes.
How blessed we are to belong to Him at a time such as this.
Anomymous: It never ceases to
amaze me how so many “Christians” fear everything and anything to do
with magic. Generation after generation, century after century they
continuously attack and destroy what they don’t understand. Of course
that is because they fear such things and we as humans always destroy
that wich we fear. The early church killed thousands of priests/ druids
and other people that would not adhere to their view of God or religion.
Every person has the right to follow their own beliefs and just because
they differ from yours does not make them wrong. Christians have killed
more people in the name of their God than any other religion in the
History of the world, so tell me which is worse witchcraft or crusading
Christians? Harry Potter is a series of very imaginative books that
leads children and adults into the reading world, nothing more or
nothing less, and in my view that makes Those books some of the most
Important books in bookstores now. I have read every one of them to my
10 year old son along with C.s Lewis and Jrr Tolkein. If you teach your
children the difference between reality and fantasy (which is a parents
job) they will know the which is which.
I consider myself a
Christian in that I believe Christ died for me and I have accepted him
more than once as my savior, I have not accepted Organized religion as
my conscience though…and I never will. I find organized religion much to
closed minded for me and way to judgmental. Any book that gets a child
to fall in love with reading is a great book and should be seen as just
that. Hopefully most people see this or I fear we should go back to
burning those books that don’t pass the Christian sensors.
From Angie:
I knew things were bad in our schools, but I really had
no idea just how bad. I am fortunate enough to live in the "heart" of the
biblebelt, but just recently, one of the children in a neighboring school
was sent home for bringing his Bible to school for free reading time.
I had thought maybe we had more time before things like that started
happening here, but I guess not. Thank you again.
From Kim:
Thank you for your article on the Bible Literacy Project.
My concerns have been born out viz. any such attempt to make the Bible
literature in America's schools. I know some Christian organizations have
pushed for this as well. Today, this clearly is not advisable as your
article plainly reveals. As one would expect. For those who are not born
again can but only understand the Bible in worldly terms as you outline
well.
This is but another step in the process to co-opt mankind--and in this case
specifically America--into the coming one world order per Scripture. This
co-optation process is well under way in Christendom as well. Out of fear as
well as out of a, I believe, misplaced sense of what our role is in this
fallen world.
And since Lucifer was and still remains the first Gnostic and dialectician,
it is understandable these beliefs and processes will be in the world
always--until New Jerusalem of course. Trying to change the world with its
methods will undermine God's Truth and our witness, unfortunately. Due to
the Kingdom-now folks, et al. Again unfortunately.
All born again believers must pray for one another and this fallen world.
For God's Holy Spirit to work in this world until He is taken out, along
with Christ's Church. And we must speak the Truth in love. As well as to
point out Satan's deception in this world and to make the world aware of
God's prophetic word about these times in which we live. That all might be
Saved, that none should perish.
From Barry:
Just a note after visiting your site. At age 59 I have
just been dismissed from my post as a senior (male) nurse in the UK. My work
is exemplary, but my employer objected to my theology website, on which I
oppose homosexuality. Though it was admitted that I got on well with
homosexual colleagues and treated them professionally and with friendliness,
I was got rid of!! The effect is to remove me from an income and my
profession. The writing is on the wall for freedom of speech in the UK!
I am so sorry to hear this,
Barry, but I’m not surprised. I'm afraid the suffering that you have
endured will be multiplied around the world in the next few years. May
God give you the strength and encouragement needed to triumph in the
midst of this spiritual battle.
From Jeff:
In the first page or two of the article
The Aspen Institute and Marxist Praxis it
describes all the various players and organizations involved in this NWO/globalist
transformation process as follows:
"All are hardened atheists and their single minded
mission in life is the total control of universal man and his
enviornment in order to, among other things, remake him in their
atheistic likeness."
This goes hand in hand with an earlier email I sent
you stating that this great apostate movement that appears to be shaping up
now will be used and manipulated by these dedicated atheists (who, whether
they know it or not, are serving satan's global agenda -- 1 John 5:19), and
then they will turn on these various parts of the religious Babylon (what
Revelation calls the Harlot) and destroy them.
When Hitler came into full power he was said to
have created a new religion that basically worshiped him. We know that the
Anti Christ is going to do the same thing more or less and he will turn on
these various religious faiths that have embraced the world system instead
of staying loyal to the Lord Jesus Christ.
Increasingly, I believe there is a line being drawn in the sand between
those that truly love the Lord and the rest of the world. My hope and prayer
is that all us that name Jesus as Lord and Savior will see the urgency of
the times, in that we need to make every effort we can to move closer and
closer to HIM. Let us remember what Jesus himself said in Matthew 24:24
"For false christs and false prophets will rise and show great signs and
wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect."
Matthew 24:24
[Signs
of the times]
I believe as we look at so many (in even evangelical circles) jumping on
board with these new compromising movements, that
www.crossroad.to has correctly put a
bright light on, we need to suspect that this verse may be coming to life
right before our very eyes. Whether or not it is though, the greatest and
most important thing we can do is love or Lord Jesus Christ as never before.
I am struggling at this pursuit (as most of us usually do I think) so with
some significant humility, I want to encourage as many of you as I can, to
pursue the Lord with all your heart.
From
Kathryn P.
(Tulsa, Oklahoma):
Tulsa is launching its biggest ever campaign to encourage
schools to set up lasting partnerships with schools abroad. It's our
repsonse to the UN's call for 'partnerships for development'
I have started to tackle our city's Vision 2025
and the current program "Tulsa Talks" on education on our local radio
station. Do you have anything that connects the UK's Vision 2025 with Global
Citizenship? Do you have anything that states schools are setting up
partnerships with schools here in the states? I found that 'Vision 2025'
here in cities across the US are also in other nations; of course it's part
of sustainable development.
I have been putting a research booklet together for Tulsan's on our 'Vision
2025' and found out a couple of months ago that it was everywhere. There are
several interesting things...One, other countries have no problem (such as
Zambia) telling their people that they will be implementing a UN agenda
through the support of the 'vision' (and Zambia also has interest in
American elections: "Judge
James Gray announces bid for US Senate")
Whereas here, they hide it; they know better than to wake the sleeping
giant.
Tulsa also brought in Glen Hiemstra, a futurist and the founder of
Futurist.com, who is clearly anti-Christian. He comes in to speak to the
community on their "preferred future", right here in the Bible Belt all the
while disliking the very people he is addressing. He states on his website
in an article titled "Future
Peril: will religion be the death of us?" he says,
"Many religious people claim, and probably believe, that their religion
is only a means of personal salvation....Religions, most particularly
Christian and Muslim, want global market share, and the money and power
that comes with it. Unless these two dominant religions give up this
quest for power, we are apparently in for chaos...."
Here are questions for those who are committed religious people. What do you
think is going on? Could there ever be a time when the dominant religions
give up the quest for more converts, more power, more money, including the
quest to create Christian or Muslim or Jewish nations? Could all religion be
a personal matter, and kept out of the affairs of state? If religion
retreated to a personal affair, to be conducted in private or even in a
closet, as one spiritual leader said, then perhaps humans might live with
religion. Short of that, the future seems in peril and religion might just
be the death of us.
Imagine that Glen Hiemstra was not cheap to bring into Tulsa to speak about
how to get our "Preferred Future" and I hate to think that my tax dollars
most likely were spent so he could peddle his trash to the citizens of Tulsa
but it appears that way. I will make sure that as many people as possible
know about our Mayor's visionless "Vision 2025" and the people the City of
Tulsa brought in to promote it.
Thank you, Kathryn, for this
vital important information. I also did a Google search for Vision 2025.
The first Google page (the first ten of 23,900 links) showed the vision
2025 operating in Tanzania, Tulsa, Planned Parenthood and
Wycliffe Bible Translators. Sounds almost universal, doesn't it? It
reaches around the world and across a wide moral chasm.
I have started an article
titled "Snared by 'the Vision Thing'," which I hope to finish the next
two weeks. It's amazing to see how the secular vision strategy has been
adopted by churches and Christian organizations. With the focus on
success, envisioning groups simply agree on a motivating and strategic
vision statement, then present it to members as "God's vision" for the
particular ministry. See
Re-Inventing the Church, Part 1
From Kathy Fournier:
Just a quick note to comment on our current
condition. I saw an article comparing persecution to cancer in the body. But
so often cancer is caused by the things we pollute ourselves with. Looking
at the many articles on your site the expose false doctrine, it seems that a
great portion of the body is ingesting life threatening poisons. Perhaps
persecution is God's wake up call to cause us turn turn to Him and our
eternal life will be preserved.
Thank you, Kathy. I agree. Our
culture presents a banquet table of poisonous temptations, and we are
becoming so used to the images and suggestions that we barely notice it.
What we feed to our minds, will come out of our mouths and actions.
Persecution will force us to make a choice: follow the world and reap
spiritual death -- or follow Jesus and gain true life.
"...those things which proceed out of the
mouth come from the heart, and they defile a man. For out of
the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications,
thefts, false witness, blasphemies. These are the things which
defile a man, but to eat with unwashed hands does not defile a
man.” Matthew 15:18
Persecution will force us to
make a choice: follow the world and reap spiritual death -- or follow
Jesus and gain abundant life forever.
Jeff
W: I read
the article you posed about the three world powers (China, Russia, and NWO)...wow
that is powerful to say the least. I will say this, I have been reading,
studying and observing al ot of this he spoke of, for probably close to 20
years or more myself, and I truly believe, he is very accurate in his take
of all of this. Most people that read this are going to think that it is
sort of out there and probably won't believe it, but actually it fits right
into all that I have been able to develop in my studies and research as
well. He has a much better command of some of that than I do of course, but
I am encouraged to see more credibility given to so much I have come to
see. We live in amazing times, and I am so thankful we have an Amazing God
in charge of it all. We may suffer and we may struggle in our weaknesses as
Paul tells us, but at the end of the DAY, God will be there for us and HE
will keep us in his loving arms. Praise God.... Yours in Christ,
Global Management System.
Analysis of strategic threats:
"...I will
discuss three current strategic world powers, which constitute a premeditated
threat to world liberty, and the complex tactical maneuvers between
them as they position themselves for the coming, inevitable conflict.
Two of these world powers are nations--Russia and China--and the third
is a transnational conspiracy of power by a combination of individuals
in the West attempting to maneuver the world into a New World Order
(NWO) of global control, euphemistically masquerading as a 'global
democracy.' I will refer to the latter as Western globalists. All
less powerful nations in the world fall under the influence of one of
these three powers....
"The Western
globalists are divided into two main factions: a US/British faction
firmly in control of the financial means of the NWO, and a European
faction of hard-core leftists, secretly aligned with Moscow, which controls
the majority of votes in the General Assembly of the UN."
But the divisions are not always so clearcut; illustrating the principles
of Hegelian dialectics, "opposing" forces are continually being manipulated
by globalist power brokers.

The
Revolutionary Roots of the UN
Anomymous:
My God, you are
idiots!! You obviously do not have clue! The middle ages are alive and
well and living in your head.
From Dennis Monroe:
I read the article you posted under "Managing change.
The Movement to Change Society"
which speaks about "There are two kinds of conversions: a spiritual
conversion, which every person must have—and a small groups conversion—which
every pastor or church leader must have." Of course this whole concept is
humanistic which is clearly revealed later on in the article where it says
"How will we know when society has been transformed? When the divorce rate
drops, poverty levels drop, the crime rate drops, the teen suicide rate
drops."
True Biblical Christianity will never "transform" society into anything
particular, good or bad. "Christianity" that attempts to do so is
counterfeit. The so called transformation of society is simply not a
primary goal of the active Christian who is truly following Christ. Efforts
in that direction will never lay up treasures in Heaven, but will only serve
to build "wood, hay and stubble." Jesus never attempted to transform
society and we should not attempt it either. In fact, transforming the
society that existed when Jesus walked the earth was exactly what the
Pharisees at the time expected Him to do, as in bailing them out of the
Roman oppression. All Jesus did was tell the truth about sin against a most
high and holy God, and the only remedy for it, Himself, and finish the
perfect will of the Father through His death and shed blood on the Cross and
subsequent burial and resurrection, i.e., the Gospel. "Society" had to
accept it or reject it, and it is still exactly the same today.
Once again I go back to J. Vernon McGee, still one of my favorite old time
preachers. I was listening to a tape of one of McGee's sermons the other
day in which he said how when he first became a preacher he went on this big
quest to "fix" all the ills of his first church, to "root out" the tares and
make everything supposedly "right" with God. He went on to say that he
quickly learned that he could not do it. He also learned that it was simply
not necessary and that is was not at all what he was supposed to be doing.
He learned that the tares and ill gotten ways of man would always be there
and that it was not his responsibility to "fix" any of that. That
responsibility belonged to God as He saw fit to do or not to do and that is
where McGee left it. After that, all McGee did for the rest of his
preaching life was "get out the word of God", and "those that are His lambs
will come, they always do." This ties right in with your ending comment of
"But Jesus didn't try to change the world system. He said, "My kingdom is
not of this world."
From Jeff Wallace:
I wanted to comment on Bryan's comments posted today.
Bryan and I have 180 degrees differing views on this website. I am hoping he
will state why he feels so strongly about this.
Bryan, if you read this, seriously I am curious why
you feel as you do? To me this site comes at issues from a Biblical point of
view as it should do. What I am wondering, you stated quite bluntly you
didn't like the site, but you didn't say what you didn't like. What
specifically bothers you about it?
What do you mean by love of community and how is this
site contrary to that concept? What Christian propaganda are specifically
referring to? What do you mean by she writes in fear? In what way, as I
don't see that. What constitutes moral holier-than-thou to you?
On this site over and over she stays consistently with
the Biblical view of all of us as sinners -- and if saved, saved by the
grace of God through our faith in his Son Jesus. How is that not absolutely
right on with Scripture and how in the world could one call that holier than
thou?
By the way, is it bad in your view to seek to live a
moral life? Also is it bad to seek to be holy as God commanded us to do? If
we admit we are sinners and we say its Jesus who saves us and not ourselves,
what else can one say that is more humble and truthful? I just really
appreciate this site a great deal as alot of other Christians do too, and I
imagine alot of us would really like to know why you find it so bad? I hope
you will set down and thoughtfully, and Christian to Christian, explain your
views specifically on this site so I can try to grasp the completely
opposite take you have on it. Thanks for you time and your patience with me
on this.
From Bryan:
Your moral holier-than-thou attitude will only breed
intolerance, never love. you write out of fear, and not love for community.
do you really love people? or do you love telling people what to feel?
in short, your website is the biggest load of christian propaganda and
religious crap i've ever come across. I'M ASHAMED TO CALL MYSELF A CHRISTIAN
IF IT ASSOCIATES MY WITH ATTITUDES SIMILAR TO YOURS.
get a clue
No, Bryan. I don't "love
telling people what to feel." I just pray that God enable me to
communicate His truth and love. I believe the most caring thing I can do
is to share His Word and guidelines. He who made us also knows best how
we should live together in our communities. On our own we'll just fail
again and again. But when we follow the Shepherd, nothing is impossible!
From a concerned Christian:
"I have just been reading your article entitled 'Who Can
Resist The Pull of the Crowd' and find some of what you say as exactly
describing what is happening in my job. At the moment I don't have a problem
with the church environment but the work environment is becoming unbearable.
At work it isn't the best in any case but in the office now it is most
unpleasant.
My Performance and Development Review was the first
under the new regime after the takeover by the stock market listed company.
Having been with the company for ten years I think I am just about familiar
with most of what is happening.
Section 2 was headed 'CORE COMPETENCIES" with 18 one
or two word descriptions like 'Teamwork and Cooperation' where I rated
myself with a B and my 31 yr old boss gave me a D. Having read your article
I feel quite good about that! Even better was the 'JOB SPECIFIC' category
where, for 'Change Implementation', I was given another D by my so-called
boss. Another reason for some more rejoicing. They seem to want to totally
subjugate you to their ways which sometimes are plain stupid.
Not only is my boss of three years a young 31 but the
manager put in by the new owners in July is only 35. I am in my mid fifties.
I should also say that every person (6) in the Production Dept in the last
few weeks has been to the GM to complain about our immediate boss so you see
that it is not just me. A couple of our department have left earlier this
year. This is probably symptomatic of their management style. And when it
comes to manufacturing they are less than capable. The GM was an accountant
so he relies heavily on my boss who is more than deft at twisting the truth
or even outright lying to protect himself. Even the lady in the lunch bar
said the first time she laid eyes on him she could see he was entirely false
and she sure sees a lot of people.
Do you have any advice, apart from prayer, for one
such as I?"
Most large corporation and
government positions follow new global workforce development or
performance standards, which call for training in team work, collective
thinking, the consensus (or dialectic) process, and multicultural
tolerance -- respect and "appreciation" for unbiblical lifestyles. The
school-to-work programs in public and accredited schools conform to
these standards and will increasingly shut the door to higher education
and other coveted opportunities for those whose with conflicting beliefs
and values.
Its sobering to see how well
these programs match the patterns observed during the Soviet era in
Eastern Europe. Adult Christians who refused to compromise and deny
their Lord lost their professional jobs, while uncompromising Christian
children were excluded from educational opportunities. Yet their
testimonies are wonderfully encouraging. They loved God, and with each
hardship and sacrifice, they were drawn closer to Him. They seemed to
know -- far better than those whose lives are filled with worldly
comforts and distracting pleasures -- the surpassing wonders of walking
with Jesus and living by His Spirit. They wouldn't trade that
relationship for anything.

Certainly God can stop this
worldwide transformation toward an anti-Christian, school-to-work
program of indoctrination in global values and collective thinking. (See
the links below) But, looking at Biblical truth and history, I tend to
believe that He will allow His people to be tested and purified. After
all, He warned us repeatedly that the end times would bring moral,
spiritual and financial corruption. But it the midst of the
sensuality,
lawlessness
and
apostasy,
He would pour out His grace into the lives of His true disciples. This
may be a time to let Him train and prepare us for such a time. See

From
CE: I read about "pornography classes" at the
colleges on your web site. I took a woman's health class about 15 years ago.
A woman who had been ganged raped in the NY was a guest in our class and
showed a film she made. It showed advertising, soft porn and finally the
most horrible porn possible. I was extremely upset that I had not been
forewarned as to what I was going to see.....and I was the only one in the
class who spoke up about how I was violated by being shown this film without
warning and given a choice to leave.
Many of the Christian web sites (I don't think yours) are very graphic about
what the porn shows...including the pictures from Iraq or a Madonna show
etc....this too is a backdoor way of exposing/corrupting/degrading people
with porn and filth. They do it on the news too. Whether we see the
pictures, or just "hear" the acts described, we are still being violated and
subjected to degradation. WND is full of degradation and as much as I
appreciate Cutting Edge - they too do this.
The same week that the prison abuse became news, Oprah had a "show" about
children who are transgender. A five year old little boy who wants to be a
girl, and Oprah telling the parents they had a "holy" duty to their little
boy to let him become who he is.......and she told the father to lighten up
and let the boy play with barbie dolls. Orpah is our afternoon godess with
highest authority! Of course I think she is self-indulgent, arrogant and a
pig feeding off the human spirit. In case you are interested this was on
exactly two weeks ago today and I am sure you can get a transcript.
What is going on???????? I have been depressed for two weeks - downhearted.
I share your concern over the
images and suggestions that corrupt minds through the news media. I pray
that God guard us against putting news events and warnings above His
holy standard for what should be impressed on our minds. We so easily
become tolerant of evil and blind to how it changes us. Even gross
immorality ceases to shock us – just as Jeremiah wrote in
Jer 6:13-15
and
Jer 5:21-24. I’m
not surprised you feel depressed.
Would you want to do the study on the Armor of God. You can find it – A
Wardrobe from the King – online in the Bible Study section. Perhaps our
Lord would encourage you through some of the devotions on Names of God.
They always encourage me.
May I post your letter—with or without your full name – in our comments
section? So many Christians feel alone and confused by today's changing
churches and postmodern values. But God provides a special fellowship as
we share our lives with each other across the distances. And one
wonderful day, we will all celebrate together -- face to face with our
wonderful Lord!
From Jeff Wallace: I sent your piece on Prayer becoming
unlawful to one of my nephews:
Praying for someone's
health could violate the law
: "Praying out loud for someone's
health in church - no matter how well intentioned - could end up
exposing congregations to penalties under a new federal law. Since
April 14, 2003, when the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services
began enforcing the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability
Act of 1996 (HIPAA), the federal government has set restrictions
on public prayer. The risk of federal penalities and lawsuits has
prompted some churches to
require written permission from anyone
for whom they pray.
...
"Under
national United Methodist guidelines, two staff members attended
HIPAA training. According to Bergquist, the confidentiality of prayer
requests was already protected; the training only intensified their
awareness. 'We have decided to become 'hands-off,' Bergquist said.
'If (someone) wishes information to be shared, (he or she) must
ask in writing."
He emailed me backed that it was just
unbelievable. Below is basically what I said to him in response.
What is happening is that they are slowly,
steadily, encircling Christians on as many fronts as they can, so that
eventually they can checkmate us (so to speak) and so that they can drop as many
hammers as they can,., and will be able to do it (in a manner of speaking)
legally. They are formulating all of these gay rights laws, freedom of speech
laws (which actually restrict speech), so called, separation of church and state
laws, and hate speech laws (which are actually hateful toward Christians) etc.,
so that we have no place to turn without running into the PC Police.
You want to commit yourself and your family to Christ and to a belief and
faith simply in Him (based on Biblical truth) and commit in this regard to not
compromise that faith in order to make the PC crowd happy. There is going to be
an ever increasing grip and pressure on all of us to conform and compromise.
That will be easiest to do of course and the course of least resistance, but
pray and ground yourself in the truth of the Bible and the truth that Jesus is
indeed the Truth the Way and the Life. Do not let anyone or anything sway you
from that course.
Just as the Bible says, the majority will not be on your side nor agree with
you. Do not let it deter you from your walk in Christ and your belief in him and
do all you can to make your home, Christ centered and Biblically based. Choose
your church with caution and prayer, as a lot of them are leaning toward
embracing the world and political correctness and compromise, and they are even
willing to do so at the expense of sound doctrine (see following scriptures).
From
Jodi Hoffman:
I have been blessed with a most Godly daughter. She has been raised to
love the Lord and she, as I, believes in the word of God. She has told me in no
uncertain terms that she wishes she didn't live in the United States and that
she had not been born in this century.
Her reasons, in part, are as follows:
We are the leading country in the exportation of pornography. The United States
produces over 80% of the the pornography of the entire world. What does that
say about the morality of our country and why hasn't everyone turned off their
vulgar television, thrown out the vulgar newspapers, stopped giving money to
Hollywood to watch vulgar movies at the theater, and paid attention to what is
happening with the children of this country, especially our female children?
The youth of this country now lead the entire civilized world in STDs (sexually
transmitted diseases). What does this say about the parents and leaders and
role models of this country?
The youth of America leads the country in unwed mothers. What's wrong with this
picture?
She recently told me she wishes she lived in "one of those countries where girls
and women can wear one of those things that would cover me up, Mom. You know,
one of those things where boys and men can't see what my body looks like so they
can stare at me or make rude comments to me about my breasts and stuff."
She was referring to a chardor, for crying out loud!
Wake up! This is a beautiful just-turned-eighteen year old girl! My daughter
is as pure as driven snow, having been raised without the influence of
Hollywood's garbage. We don't have television and don't want it. We don't go
to the movies. She doesn't read the newpapers because she hates the bra and
underwear ads in it.
And you wonder why a woman would want to "hide" behind a scarf!!! ????
Wake up.
From Mary:
In his weekly radio address yesterday, President Bush was again promoting
"volunteerism", urging signing up with Freedom Corps, etc. Closing statement
was, "with their good works, American people are showing the spirit of the
season".
Like a drumbeat, repeated over and over and over, this
idea of doing good works through an agency of the government. Conditioning
consciences to "feel" guilty, (even using Christmas to further the agenda)
if one chooses not to participate with the government's controlled path to
serving. Is it part of the buildup to make mandatory universal service
accepted when the time is right?
That makes sense, Mary. It
fits the report on "The
Draft is Back," which we worked on together
two months ago.
From Kurt Fiech, Christian educator:
Chief Justice Moore is responsible through his oath of
office to acknowledge God as the supreme authority and basis for our laws. He is
solely responsible for the Alabama Supreme Court building decor - both inside
and outside - as part of his job description/responsibility.
Now we have the Alabama Attorney General attempting "a sudden
decisive exercise of force of politics" or [Politics] "a sudden, decisive
exercise of power whereby the existing government is subverted without the
consent of the people."
The attorney general is attempting, with the help of the other Alabama Supreme
Court justices to "force" Chief Justice Moore to violate his oath of office to,
in the words of Moore, "acknowledge God because our constitution says our
justice system is established upon God."
The "consent of the people" is reflected in Roy Moore's
election as Chief Justice based on his prior actions as a judge acknowledging
God in his courtrooms with a plaque of the 10 Commandments.
From AJ:
I went to college for business and TQM was highly stressed
at the college I went to. Also, systems thinking was stressed as well as the
other business ideals of new agers mentioned. I asked the instructor how well
this would work in the US where the people are more individually oriented but he
had no answer.
The new postmodern generation tends to by
group oriented. Most have been well trained in group thinking and the dialectic
process in schools, large churches and community groups. Collective (and
systems) thinking is becoming the norm around the world. See
Reinventing the World - Part 1 and
Part 2: The
Mind-Changing Process
It all seemed to much like communism to me and after
reading your articles I am now convinced it is nothing more than a back door
attempt to pollute the minds of Americans and decieve them into throwing God and
the Bible away.
I worked for Wal-Mart and they seemed to really stress this thinking also.
Is this a hopeless case now? What do Christians do?
We see the changes everywhere. Yet, most
Christians seems to be either blind to the changes in their midst or offended
when you try to inform them. That’s why committed Christians across the country
face hostility or outright rejection when they speak up and try to warn others.
We, as a nation, have been so “softened up” to the socialist views and to the
dialectic process the we cannot grasp the facts about the dangers to the freedom
we take for granted.
So what do we do? We pray and keep asking God how each one of us can serve Him.
He has different roles for us, but they always include uncompromising obedience
to the guidelines in His Word – such as “do not be conformed to the world....”
Rom. 12:2
He has promised to lead us through these challenging times. It won’t be easy and
I believe we will face the kind of persecution that has been inconceivable to
Americans. But I also believe He will bless us in wonderful ways through our
fellowship with Him and each other – the kinds of blessings that rarely come
when the world seems good and our needs are less pressing.
Perhaps most important, we need to know God's
Word, take our stand
and refuse to conform. He also calls us to show God's love and patience, while
we continue to presents facts and truth that -- with prayer and by His Spirit --
will open minds and persuade believer to follow Him and nonbelievers to come to
Him for salvation.
I am sure you know all that. Perhaps this
chart will help answer your question:
Brainwashing & How to Resist It
From
Todd: I read your article on
Al Gore regarding His book Earth in the Balance. As this country, world stands
on the brink of disaster I still find it hard to believe that people still would
rather be a participant in contributing to separation vs. uniting..
I still find it hard to believe that we have yet to see how our ideas about
God gives birth to a cultures or society's present manifestations..
Conditioning your mind that you are separate from God contributes to the
mind-set that we are separate from each other and thru the loss of community
you experience the loss of unity, thus, we create a society that is drowning
in fear due to its aloneness.
I don't pretend to be an Al Gore fan, but I do applaud anyone who has the
courage to really see that our present understanding of life - God is not
allowing for human awareness to expand. Not to say out with the old and in
with the new, but to expand on what is already there.
Of course you may have surmised by now that I am not a Christian, but I love
my Christian brothers and sisters as well as I love my Muslim brothers and
sisters and so-on.. I feel we do need to connect with one another and stop
seeing the differences, because when all you see is differences you begin a
process of judgment, then justification follows.. So, why not try to relate on
a higher level and experience a oneness but not a sameness?
One more thing I find it hard to believe we choose to not to notice is,
everyone who comes along and preaches or teaches unity of all people, we
either ridicule them or kill them.. Thanks for your time.
Al Gore's political career
demonstrates moral and spiritual compromise and deception. Looking at his
personal life and beliefs, his standard for right and wrong seems little
better than the "the ends justify the means" -- the end being primarily his
own personal power and success.
Unless we treasure and maintain
certain personal and moral standards, Americans will face both social and
personal chaos. The fact that our nation prospered and provided peace and
security for its people (in contrast to many other cultures) was largely due
to its Biblical standards and views of good and evil. While these were not
valued by everyone, they were accepted by the majority of its people. The
result was a nation that offered hope and promise to the poor, persecuted
and war-torn people of the world.
You may argue that slavery and
other evils argue against this generally accepted moral standard. If so,
remember that the Civil War was fought and won because enough Americans
despised slavery and sought its demise, yet wanted to keep the nation
together. They took a stand and paid the high cost in lives, because they
refused to compromise with any position that disregarded the value of human
life.
There are many other issues that
compromise the basic values taught in the Bible. We do well to choose
separation rather than unity, when the cost of social
solidarity
would be our integrity, moral standards and freedom to follow the God we
love.
But, I am sad to say, in our new global society, we may soon lose both
freedom and moral integrity to social rules and standards that violate all
the freedoms we have treasured in this country. See
2 Cor 6:12-18 and
The UN Plan for Your Mental
Health.
From Fabienne:
I couldn't let the following pass without comment!
Jeremy Winters (previous comment)
said, "I'm sure that you are aware that occult simply means 'unknown.'"
In response:
To Jeremy Winters: The meaning of the word 'occult' (which comes from Latin) is
NOT 'unknown', as you said. 'Unknown' implies something that is not known
because it hasn't been discovered by anyone. The meaning of 'occult' is
'hidden'. Can you see and understand the difference?
Thank you, Fabienne, for your
clarification.
From
Jeremy
Winters:
Multiculturalism is one of the strengths of this
country... the "Melting Pot" I was told of as a child in school is what America
is about!!! American culture is that of immigrants... Or one could say it is the
culture of the Natives, the likes of which have been oppressed into a pathetic
shadow of the beauty that was once their culture.
By rejecting multiculturalism, you are impairing the evolution of our society.
What kind of social "evolution" do you
have in mind, Jeremy?
Does this chart --
Total transformation --
fit your idea of change?
I came across your site through a search for occult
symbol meanings. I'm sure that you are aware that occult simply means 'unknown'.
Occult does not mean evil or bad... unless you fear the unknown...
"The reality of stepping onto a higher plane is very real for everyone. It
requires no real force, or effort, or sacrifice... It merely requires allowing
your perception of what is normal to change."
Our world is constantly changing. Thought that never changes remains a stupid
lie.
That last statement sounds like an
"absolute" to me. Didn't you just break your own rule?
Lots of things do change, but we would be
wise to hold on to the things that never change (like God and His Word)
and basic social institutions that are best not changed, such as the
traditional family. We need to use good "judgement" -- not simplistic
platitudes.
I send this message with love, and in the hopes that
it will help you to loosen the shell of judgement that covers your heart. Peace.
From
Dennis:
I read the comments by Fabienne
(below) with regard to Peggy Koehler's
response to the rejection of her son's school assignment. I must admit that
there was a part of me that initially tended to support what Peggy Koehler is
doing with the lawsuit she has launched.
However, after reading the comment by Fabienne, I
know my initial "knee jerk" reaction was all wrong, and that everything Fabienne
said is correct. I have so much to learn that some days it makes me sick. Quite
often the things of God look like huge mountains to me, and that someone has
given me a little hammer and told me to take down the mountain.
Dennis, we have such a great God! And all
that He shows us about our own human weaknesses only makes His wisdom and
sufficiency all the more precious. I keep reminding myself of His wonderful
promise in
2 Corinthians 12:9-10.
From Fabienne: I was appalled and very, very saddened on reading about
Peggy Koehler's
response [See
School Rejects Son's Letter to Jesus]
to the rejection of her son's assignment. Is the eternal destiny of her son's
teacher or of the members of the school district not a consideration for her? Surely suing
the school district for $1.5 million is not going to help the district or her son's
teacher to see the light of the Gospel? Surely it is only going to convince the
unbelievers in that district that Christians are simply money-greedy fanatics? Surely this
is not glorifying God or being Christlike?
It seems to me that Peggy Koehler has not only passed up a chance to help others find
their way to the Truth, she is also giving her son a *terrible example*. She may see the
local school district as her enemy (yet it was only one teacher who hurt her son's
feelings), but doesn't her copy of the Bible contain Jesus's words: "Love your enemies; do
good to those who hate you; bless those who curse you; pray for those who mistreat you..."
(Luke 6:27-28; see also Matthew 5:44)?
The attorney for the school district said that "the class assignment was to prepare a
letter and mail it to someone else, with the hope the students would get a response." One
should ask, Did the teacher make it clear what the purpose of writing this letter was --
that the students should post it to the person concerned -- or was she not clear about
this and did some of the other students write letter to people from whom they could not
expect a response, such as people who were deceased?
Whatever the answer to that question, it seems quite inappropriate for Peggy Koehler to
sue, even if she were not a Christian. What on earth led her to take such a course of
action?
It should be unthinkable for a Christian to sue in such a case (or even at all?). One
can't help wondering what is motivating Christians who sue others.
Paul the Apostle rightly said, "The love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some
people, eager for money, have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with
many griefs." (1 Timothy 6:10) Perhaps Mrs. Koehler has been getting advice from people
who love money more than God?
I hope Peggy Koehler will rethink what she is doing, and follow Paul's advice in the next
verse: "But you, man [and woman?] of God, flee from all this,and pursue righteousness,
godliness, faith, love, endurance, and gentleness." (1 Timothy 6:11)
[Whether the assignment was appropriate or not is not what is in question, but it doesn't
seem appropriate to me, whether set by a non-Christian teacher or even a Christian. Some
things are too precious to use as assignments in a school.] In Jesus' love,
I agree with you, Fabienne. Thank you.
From
Chris: (Your link today about testing boys for "genes of violence") This
is a Feminist's and a Hitler's "Dream Come True". The feminist get rid of all the bossy
aggressive men and the Hitler Gang, they get their utopian perfect genetically nice
passive people, a real cleaned up gene pool of folks to control on the planet.
But even if this nightmare does not come about, even just the test and info out there for
the public is a nightmare, old news.
What does come to mind though is another sort of gene pool cleansing. The kind done by a
parent of a young adult who has fallen in love and wanting to marry with someone who has a
lot of "negatives" on his "gene testing report".
Mary comes home and tells mom, "He is the sweetest, kindest, dearest man, mom, and he
loves the Lord so much." Then mom points out, out of a possible score of 10, he only got
a 3 for self control gene, 2 for his heart gene, 4 for good eye gene, bla bla. And she is
disappointed with Mary for even considering this loser. Forget what God may have planned
- mom, dad, friends will act like their helping you pick a new car of prom dress. Parents
get real selfish and have watched to many fairy tales, they have visions of their sons and
daughters marring princes and princesses.
The enemy is ALL into destroying people, marriages, and families and offspring and fruit,
anyway he can!! All these stats on divorce rates - and how high they are - we all may be
able think of examples of some parents sitting in a corner saying, " your right, he or she
is not good enough for you, move on, YOU DESERVE BETTER, time for a change, life is short,
get out there and do your best and get the best.
What sinner (us all) would not want to get their little hands on these test (apple) to see
what they are marrying. Maybe the Ritalin supplies are getting low or it has not been as
affective a way to control men as feminists thought.
You may be right, Chris, considering all that is
happening these days. But all these changes and assaults on our freedom will correspond to
God's plans for judgment and testing. Those who belong to Him can be assured that in the
midst of terrible human injustices, He still reigns -- and will use the hardships to
prepare us for an eternity of peace and joy with Him.

From
Jeff W. Wallace: The left's obsession with racism is a curious
thing. Liberals seem to think it is okay to do almost anything in the world they want to
do, no matter how sick or pathetic. They approve pornography, adultery,
homosexuality, pedophilia and other perversions, drugs, witchcraft, sorcery, drunkenness,
killing disabled infants and hundreds of millions of unborn children...
But don't you dare even hint at a statement that might even remotely be
taken as racist. If this poor surgeon in the "Sign of the times" article on 07-24-02 had
for years been routinely killing unborn children, he would be a hero to the left. But
because he wants his nurses to be able to do their job and speak English, he is to them
evil. Is this the definition of insanity? I believe it is, and sadly I believe it is our
future.
From
Chris Houghten, home school mom in Illinois: Off to a local
library a few times a week to search the shelves for something I need. As
homeschoolers know, the good stuff is the old stuff!
But what I wanted to say - you remember the story - Fahrenheit 451,
about book burning. Well, the libraries are not burning the good history books, they are
just putting them on the "for sale" shelves at your local library for a quarter. They just
want them gone. They dread some young person reading what really happened in History, so
they're busy rewriting it.
They are getting rid of this stuff so fast, I cannot believe the stacks
of excellent history books I come home with, and they are filling the shelves with junk
and lies. No news here, we all know there is an intentional assault on the truth and
facts. Is it just a coincidence every library in American is buying and tossing the same
books, hmmm?
I know this is like worrying about your bug spray running out when
there is a mosquito plague on the whole planet. But the truth will survive and be
preserved and passed on and the seeds will be planted, the battle will be fought and the
Lord will win.
Amen! "Blessed is the people whose God is the
Lord!"
Paul Proctor (author of
The
People's Church):
This Ozzy Osbourne thing is VERY suspicious. First President Bush and now Dan Quayle, both
professed, "conservative, evangelical, bible-believing, born-again Christians", have both
gone out of their way to not just publicly demonstrate a tolerance for Mr. Osbourne's
filth and godlessness but actually praise and promote his vulgar show in public.
I agree, Paul. It is very sad -- yet typical in our
postmodern times.
From Shawn:
I wanted to express to Sharon (next letter) that Jesus loves her and is with her, and that we all experience
backlash from the world. When we are Christians, God uses the pain to draw us closer to
Him. People fall into a trap that if they do step A (like the Prayer of Jabez).
that God will say, wow, look at this person, let me bless them.
Thank You, Lord, that this is not the case. God loves us and
wants to bless us. Eph:1:3: "Blessed be the God and Father of our
Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in
Christ."
My main point was to express to her that sin no longer keeps
Jesus from us, and the Holy Spirit still lives in us when have trusted in Him. God knows
we are sinners, that is why He sent His son. So she can have confidence that Jesus Christ
is with her and that God is faithful to complete what He started Phil.1:6:
"Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good
work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ."
Just keep having that fellowship with God and He will give you the peace and strength to
persevere. Read God's Word daily -- morning and night, just like David:
Psalm 5:3: "My voice shalt Thou hear in the morning, O LORD; in the
morning will I direct my prayer unto thee, and will look up."
Psalm :4:4: "Stand in awe, and sin not: commune with your own heart
upon your bed, and be still."
From Sharon:
Hello! i am a Christian for five years now. Back in 1996, I
worked for a large hospital that used the consensus and TQM to run the hospital. At that
time, my boss told all of us in her department that a time was coming, a paradigm shift
and that we should all keep our jobs and be ready, prepared for this time. She led a Bible
study, which she never invited any of us to join. She later admitted to me, after I was
born again, that she regretted that she never witnessed to anyone.
I got a job in another department shortly afterwards. In
March, 1997 I was converted (all God's Work). This year, I retired early (I'm 44) from my
job. Two weeks after this, someone told me in confidence that witches (yes!) are now
running and controlling the hospital.
But this is the minor problem. I attend a small, independent
Baptist church. I was converted under this ministry and my husband is a board member. This
church is where I meet all my needs for fellowship and communion.
I have been reading your information and also Joan Veon and
several others. I have been shocked and appalled at what is going on! At first, I kept all
this information to myself, although I did share some of the information regarding Pokemon
to close family members who were struggling with this and their children. They all became
mad at me and just now getting over it. Now, they allow their children to read Harry
Potter, they look at me warily when they tell this (that they allow them to read this
stuff). I have stopped warning them, as they think I take things too far.
Worst of all, I shared some information about leaders and
others who may be involved, now everyone in the church has turned against me. They think I
am a crackpot. My husband says it is all of my making, that I should have kept my mouth
shut.
Why are Christians trusting and not understanding what is
going on? Has the entire world been propagandized and lost all discernment?
Something is really wrong with this whole picture. Help!
First I lost my job and now, my church! I need Jesus
desperately. I know I have sinned and perhaps it is sin that keeps me from Him. I know He
is right here and I really need Him. I don't understand what is going on and why people
have lost their mind's. Why doesn't anyone understand the truth? Even the pastor spoke out
against my belief from the pulpit. There is so much division and animosity and pettiness
going on, I am shocked! We need help! Pray for us.
I am so sorry each time I hear that God’s people are
pushed out of His churches. But it's happening around the world. Many of our brothers and
sisters in Christ are silenced by today's church managers. Since many of the new
postmodern leaders are offended by those who "cling to old absolutes", they often vilify
members who refuse to conform.
[See
Re-Inventing the Church] These facts won’t erase the pain, but they may help us to better
understand the nature of today's spiritual battles.
Would you like me to add your name to our Scripture list? In
His Word,
you can see an example of what we send three times a week.
“Be strong and of good courage; be not
afraid nor be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”
Joshua 1:9
Every day, the Lord Himself is near me
with a special mercy for each hour;
All my cares He fain would bear, and cheer me,
He Whose Name is Counselor and Power;
The protection of His child and treasure
Is a charge that on Himself He laid;
"As thy days, thy strength shall be in measure,"
This the pledge to me He made.

From Dennis:
As I read your daily news postings, I must conclude that it
just simply cannot be much longer before the Lord returns. It could be said that many of
the events portrayed in your daily news postings are serious competition for Sodom and
Gomorrah.
From
a concerned friend: Regarding this community oneness and service - Bingo -
this is a biggy, keep going with this. No time for the children, grandchildren and
seniors, they are all warehoused somewhere, but to have "community service" activities on
your resume of life, yes, this is honorable. No honor or attention given to the
things that an at home mom used to do and should be doing, and the brainwashing goes on
and on. Christians must beware, of course we are and we do serve. But they are up to
something Much different.
Thank you for helping me draw attention to
this well-planned strategy for change.
