Enemies of our Constitution

In the Fox News article, Army defends chaplain intervention over letter criticizing contraceptive mandate, LTC Tony Shaffer is  quoted as saying, “Clearly, the Army's job is to be a military organization, not be in the middle of a social values conflict," he told Fox News. "This is something we've got to resolve quickly. Otherwise it will diminish our ability to fight as a military.” 

There you have it.  Even the military agrees that national defense is weakened by these issues.  Social Values conflict has affected our military very heavily in the past several years.  DADT has been repealed – at the dismay of many of our troops.  Chaplains are silenced at an increasing rate.  Civil  disobedience is the feared result.  So we keep the troops in the dark so they can focus on fighting our national enemies.  Don’t we get it – our government (including our military) is sworn to defend ourselves against ALL enemies, foreign AND domestic.  Supporting our Constitution is central to service.  These social policies and experiments attack our constitution.  These things ARE our enemies.  The debate itself is not – but the mandates coming from the White House, Supreme Court, and Capitol Hill are very much threatening our Constitution.  (See my previous post to learn about these mandates.)

Our nation is being destroyed for sure.  It is being destroyed from within.  It is destroying the Constitution – which guides and binds us as a people.  When that is completely eradicated, we are no longer the United States of America.  We are something else completely.  Let us support our military’s mission when they fight against domestic enemies of our Constitution.  Let us fire all public servants who reveal themselves to be enemies of our Constitution – whether they sit on a bench, behind a desk in a round (oval) office, or in a large meeting hall.  Civil disobedience is even required by our Declaration of Independence.  So is throwing off a government that ceases to do its job. 

If Rick Santorum’s recent victories in the polls are any indication, could it be that America is waking up?  Keep praying, dear friends.  Keep standing up, fellow Americans.  This could be our last stand.

A New Level of Anti-Christian Sentiment in America

In a nation founded by men and women of deep faith, dedication, and devotion, the antithesis has arrived.  In the last two weeks, we have very troubling headlines, indeed, for those who wish to stand for Christ.  Our nation is now dominated by those of no faith, self-devotion and dedication to the eradication of those who “believe.”  We have a White House ruled by a President who boldly demands people of faith violate their faith under the command of the “almighty government” as they demand ALL EMPLOYERS (faith-based included) to provide contraceptives to their employees – via insurance.  We have a Judicial System which can overturn the will of the people regarding the clear and moral stand against same-sex marriages as the 9^th Circuit Court of Appeals overturned California’s “Proposition 8” which banned them.  Our Congress is completely confused over the freedom of religion as evidenced by their deliberate and continuing stand against the use of the name of “Jesus” in opening prayers. 

The secularization of all of these issues is beyond the pale, and dangerous beyond explanation.  Yet, Christians should stand for the Word of God, pray for the Will of God, and walk in the Way of God – even if this country rejects it all together.  Our citizenship is in Heaven first and in Heaven last.  This US citizenship is only temporary.  The way it’s going, that temporary might be shorter than we think.  Even so, come quickly, Lord!

Holler for Jesus,

Episcopal leader adds fuel to heated debate re: homosexuality
Allie Martin and Jody Brown OneNewsNow.com October 18, 2007
An official with a group of conservative pastors and laypeople from the Episcopal Church USA says it doesn't appear that Episcopal churches in North America will repent of their clear violation of scripture regarding homosexuality.

Doesn't the scripture say something about a falling away in the end times? Aren't these folks just tickling the ears of their followers?

Deception is Rampant

Bush restates belief that Muslims, Christians pray to same God

The head of a pro-Israel ministry is frustrated that President Bush recently reiterated a statement he made four years ago -- that all religions, including Islam, pray to the same God.

When the President is deceived, he makes statements to the nation - deceiving those who follow him. This is a prevailing belief that is countered by the Scriptures. Allah is NOT the I AM. Jesus Christ IS. There are huge differences in not only beliefs, but the truths that underlie Biblical Christianity - which, mind you, predates Islam by a few thousand years. The loving message of Christianity is not found as part of Islam.

The thought that all roads lead to heaven is a folly and a lie. Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No man comes to the Father but by me" (John 14:6). Eastern Mysticism (Hinduism, Buddhism, Shinotoism) denies the Father AND the Son. So do the beliefs of primitive cultures (Native Americans, Africans, and tribal portions of South and Central America), who worship nature in one way or another. Many other religions claim a god, but they don't claim the God of the Bible as their own - therefore they have their own OTHER god.

Some think that this concept is setting the stage for the return of Christ (one world religion). I'm not sure they are wrong. It is certainly part of the great darkness, deception, and falling away that is predicted biblically. It's not hard to see through the deception - unless you are unwilling to.

There IS an Agenda Against Christianity

Religion Must Be Destroyed, Atheist Alliance Declares
By Matt Purple

(CNSNews.com) - Science must ultimately destroy organized religion, according to some of the leading atheist writers and intellectuals who spoke at a recent atheist conference in Northern Virginia. God is a myth, and children must not be schooled in any faith, they said, at the "Crystal Clear Atheism" event, sponsored by the Atheist Alliance International.

Sometimes the assault against Christianity is not so bold. Nevertheless, these bold announcements reveal the heart of the enemy - our obliteration. These bold announcements also reveal their methods - teaching in schools. With this agenda, can you wonder why the homeschool movement is growing among Believers? Can you wonder why pastors passionately counsel parents to carefully choose the colleges our teens are attending? It is real, and it is powerful. In the end times, there will be a falling away. But are we willing to give up or will we stand for the faith?

The Decline of a Denomination

Albania OKs United Methodist Church

TIRANA, Albania - Albania, a former communist nation which is now majority Muslim, has officially recognized the United Methodist Church.

Doesn't this just highlight the direction of many mainline denominations? There are several steps in the move to unbiblical Christianity:

1. Reject the clear teaching of the Bible. The time-honored doctrines are disavowed; the Bible ceases to be the central text of the messages; Biblical authority denied in place of experience.
2. Ordain women. I'm not trying to be cheauvenistic, but all falling denominations have this common denominator that comes directly from first doing #1 above.
3. Embrace homosexuality. This means believing that active homosexuality is somehow compatible with Christianity. This step is another common denominator, and generally follows #2. I have not got a single example of this one preceding #2.
4. Ordain practicing homosexuals. This is the final stage of the fall. When a denomination has gotten to this point, churches will split from the denomination because it is so very unbiblical.
