BHOB* RECEIVES MESSIAH WORSHIP AGAIN

Messiah—walks on water—walks on air—fiscal cliff no problem for him.

“This is like church.  We thank god, and our lord and savior Barack Obama—B a r a c k   O b a m a .”

The cheers of the audience at this awards assembly sound like . . .

. . . the massive Nazi cheers of Hitler-worshipping crowds

. . . the fanatic Japanese Emperor worship

. . . the Muslims’ consuming religious zeal to commit suicide for Allah.

 

Tell me, who in the world is willing and able to stop him now?

—Congress??? (impotent)

—Voters??? (duped)

—Church??? (boiled frog)

—Allies??? (say what?)

—God??? (why?)

—Texas (last bastion of freedom in the world . . . ?)  Are we willing and able to remove the question mark?

 

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

EXTREME MAKEOVER – – – REVIVAL EDITION

Real Revival does not just reform or refurbish or repaint.

Real Revival Renovates.

Renovation starts with identifying necessary changes and tearing out everything unfit for the extreme makeover.

Past Revivals—Great Awakenings—were marked by unmistakable, permanent changes in individual lives.

Churches were changed, not on the surface, not by temporary revivals, not by organizing and planning, but by moves of God and prayer.

Crime dropped dramatically in times of Great Awakenings.

In America today, what would extreme makeover – revival edition look like?  What would be the authentic verification of change?

REPENT OF SIN = RELEASE OF STUFF

When we see Christians and churches getting rid of their stashes of stuff and money saved for the uncertain future, then we will know true revival that renovates.

Nothing less will do much good.

AMERICA FORGIVES

Can you find any country in history or around the world today that has repeatedly defeated evil in other countries and then turned around and helped them rebuild, with nothing in return?

Can you find any country that has done that like the United States of America?

No.

America is unique in all human history.  America is exceptional in this area, profoundly and inexplicably.

But wait a minute.  It is explainable.  America was founded on Judeo-Christian principles.  That makes this country, more than any other, ready to help any place on earth in trouble from disaster, if they allow us.  And when aggressors threaten us or our allies, we vigorously defeat them, and then just as vigorously help them after they surrender.

The world is certainly better off with American leadership.

AMERICA FORGIVES, INDEED.

Don’t lose it, America.

UNDERSTATEMENT OF ALL ETERNITY

Jesus promised His followers tribulation and persecution, because “the disciple is not above his teacher.”

It may be Friday for us now (like Good Friday was for Jesus), but Sunday’s coming forever for us (like Resurrection Sunday was for Jesus).

And now the shortest understatement—the longest lasting truth:

WE END ON A POSITIVE NOTE !

SIN – – – God – – – SING

What a transformation—to change from SIN to SING because God came in.

THREE WARS FOR INDEPENDENCE – – – THREE STORMS – – – THREE OUTCOMES

In the First War for Independence, when George Washington needed to cross the Delaware River under cover of darkness to surprise the British, they were not done by daybreak.  God sent a benign “storm” of dense fog just long enough for our men to finish crossing the river and experience a miraculous turning point in the war, to save America.

 

In the Second War for Independence-1812, when the British advanced on Washington, D.C., they planned to burn it down the next day.  God sent a storm so severe that the British had to abandon their plans and get out—a miraculous turning point in the war, to save America.

 

In the Third War for Independence-2012, when momentum before the election had shifted toward change in Washington, God sent Hurricane Sandy at just the right time to strangely turn it the other way—a miraculous turning point in the war, to judge America.

ATHEISTS’ SADDEST DAY OF THE YEAR

I cannot imagine the sadness of Thanksgiving Day with no God to thank.

And even worse, if you admit your sadness, you lose the argument against God’s reality.

So, atheists become defensive or angry or intolerant of anyone who believes in and gives thanks to Someone they say doesn’t exist.

What does it really mean, then, when atheists try to stop the Christmas message and Christmas symbols?

Well, here’s how I like to think of Christmas celebration, and the war on Christmas.

EVERY YEAR WE GET TO ADD ANOTHER CANDLE ON JESUS’ BIRTHDAY CAKE, AND THE CELEBRATION JUST GETS BIGGER AND BETTER.  AND ALL 2000 PLUS CANDLES ARE THE KIND THAT LIGHT BACK UP EVERY TIME SOMEONE TRIES TO BLOW THEM OUT!!!!!!!!!!

(writers are supposed to use exclamation points sparingly, but this is an exception)

HALLELUJAH ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

GLORY TO GOD IN THE HIGHEST ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

THIS MEANS WAR

A quote from Ravi Zacharias yesterday on American Family Radio:

“The difference between warfare in the world and the spiritual warfare of Christians is this:

The purpose of warfare in the world is to destroy the enemy.

The purpose of the spiritual warfare of Christians is to win the enemy over.  This is much harder.”

! ! ! GAME DAY ! ! !

CHRISTIANS—IT’S GAME DAY!

WAKE UP!

RISE AND SHINE!

This is the day you’ve been training for.

This is the day you’ve been waiting for.

This is not the day to stay home and study the playbook.

This is not the day to show up for practice.

This is not the day to show up in street clothes (camouflage).

This is the day to get your uniforms on and be identified.

This is the real thing.

This is the first real game for most of you (in America).

Don’t get me wrong—you will need your playbook.

This is the day it sure would help if you had your playbook memorized.

This is the day the Coach will not be pushing you through tough drills.

This is the day you will be tested by the opposing team.

This is the day you signed up for.

This is the game day the Coach scheduled.

This is the opponent the Coach arranged.

This is “the game,” and it will get ugly, bloody, and desperate.

This is the day you find out if you’re on the team, or just thought so.

This is the day many will look for another team.

This is the day you find out how much you need the Coach on the field.

Don’t quit.

PRIORITIES IN TOUGH TIMES – – – REALLY TOUGH TIMES

In tough times you start checking off what you will stop buying.

Make a list now of everything you get with money.

Number the items in order—things you might do without buying.

Add to your list, and change numbers, as you think about your priorities.

You can also mark items from the other end—things you can’t do without buying.

How many items are on your bottom line list, that you must buy?

May I suggest there are only two items that you must buy, in good times and bad—FOOD  and  CLOTHES.

 

“Having food and clothes—be content with that.”     —–His Book

You buy food—you buy clothes—you choose contentment, which you can’t buy.

 

Your treasure determines where your heart is.

Your heart determines your contentment.
