*Barack Hussein OBama—Say BHHHOB aloud and it sounds like the warning for Christians in the 2008 election: “Beware of sheep’s clothing.”

FUN , IN HARD TIMES ?
May 7, 2012 By Leave a Comment
Sometimes it’s hard to say whether hard times eliminate room for fun or increase the need for fun.
My conclusion is to keep on trucking—address the serious stuff today and take any opportunity to make someone laugh as well. The greater challenge for me personally is to laugh heartily myself.
Anyway, here’s one most people may know, but I just heard it for the first time from some friends on the radio.
Bible Trivia: David picked up five stones from the creek and used one to kill Goliath. Did you know Goliath had four brothers? (Don’t know where they were) (Wonder what David did with those four stones)
GIVE UP ?
May 6, 2012 By Leave a Comment
After you’ve given everything you have to give, and you give up—then what?
Can God make anything out of your life when all you have left to give is “. . . up”?
Isn’t it interesting that the phrase “give up” has the word “up” in it.
So, when we give up in the presence of God, He can work with that.
FAMINE IN AMERICA ?
May 5, 2012 By Leave a Comment
Is it possible to have famine in a land of plenty?
Is it possible to suffer from malnutrition while having plenty to eat?
Taking this to the extreme, is it possible to starve even with a full stomach?
My dad often quoted someone who said, “It is not how much you eat that makes you strong; it is how much you properly digest.”
Back to the first question:
Is it possible to have famine in a land of plenty?
Did you ever get so busy, so wrapped up in something, or so worried, that you failed to eat and got sick?
If you ignore your basic needs and basic health, it can kill you.
And now, my point—
“Behold, the days come, says the Lord God, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the Lord.”
Plenty of Bibles, but a famine of “hearing” the Word.
FAMINE IN AMERICA ?
POSITIVE PERSECUTION
May 4, 2012 By Leave a Comment
(Inspired by Sandy Rios this morning on AFR Talk.)
What if it should be true for Christians in the American church, that intense persecution will be the key to the fourth great awakening?
There was testimony this morning again that it was true in China in the 20th century. It is also true in the Bible, from the beginning of the Christian church.
American Christianity has been the exception, but not for much longer.
In the light of what is ahead, here is a word for American pastors. If you have reasons not to get involved in politics now, to recapture and preserve our religious freedom, then please start now telling your people what to expect and how to deal with the certainty of coming persecution.
As I’ve said before, one of my greatest concerns is that most Christians in this country won’t understand what hit them and won’t know what to do when severe persecution comes to America for the first time.
Real Christianity—coming right up.

Billy Graham said the three things necessary for a successful crusade were:
PRAY PRAY PRAY.
What shall we pray for on this National Day of Prayer?
. . . God, Forgive America
. . God, Heal America
. God, Bless America
And what does that require?
IF . . . (may be old, may be worn out, may be memorized, still true)
If God’s People . . .
. . . humble ourselves
. . . pray
. . . seek His face
. . . turn from our sin, then . . .
