Morning and Evening Charles H. Spurgeon April 28, 2017 Morning Reading Remember the word unto Thy servant, upon which Thou hast caused me to hope. —Psalm 119:49 Whatever your especial need may be, you may readily find some promise in the Bible suited to it. Are you faint and feeble because your way is rough and you are weary? Here is the promise-"He giveth power to the faint." When you read such a promise, take it back to the great Promiser, and ask Him to fulfil His own word. Are you seeking after Christ, and thirsting for closer communion with Him? This promise shines like a star upon you-"Blessed are they that hunger and thirst after righteousness, for they ...
Oklahoman author, Texas dispute ownership of 'lunar Bibles'

TULSA, Okla. (AP) — Ten microfilm Bibles once launched hundreds of thousands of miles into space sit landlocked today inside an Oklahoma courthouse while a legal battle rages in two states over who is the rightful owner of the celestial keepsakes. Eight of the 10 tiny holy books in dispute landed on the surface of the moon during NASA's 1971 Apollo 14 mission, carried in a pouch by astronaut Edgar Mitchell. Each isn't much larger than a postage stamp and contains all 1,245 pages of the King James Bible. Etched onto each strip of film at such a small size, its words must be viewed through a microscope, save for two: "HOLY BIBLE" at the very top of the slide. ...
My mid-year predictions

Yesterday, I submitted the color ebook version of "The Revelation: a Historicist View" (available soon on Amazon) which contains a lot of updates. Here are my updated predictions for 2017: Mid-year Predictions (for 2017) As I always do, I must add my standard qualifier here but with three words added this time: These predictions are based on the Bible, and thus cannot fail to come true— But I may be ahead of God’s (and/or Trump’s) timetable by a year or two. 1. Trump (the 45th rider of the pale horse) will be able to get rid of Bashar Assad, But it will be difficult if Moscow intervenes, and God forbid, for it could lead to MAD.* 2. Trump together with some ...
Large Asteroid Coming Close On Earth April 19, 2017

A big asteroid will have a safely sweep past Earth on April 19, 2017. It’ll come so close – and it’s known so far in advance – that scientists will be able to study the space rock using both radar and optical observations. The flyby should also be visible in amateur telescopes. Asteroid 2014 JO25 was discovered by astronomers at the Catalina Sky Survey near Tucson, Arizona in May 2014. It appears to be roughly 2,000 feet (650 meters) in size, with a surface about twice as reflective as that of Earth’s moon. The asteroid will safely pass at some 1,098,733 miles (1,768,239 km ) from our planet or about 4.6 times the distance from Earth to the moon. After analyzing ...

Jesuit Superior: Jesus Was Not ‘Black and White’ on Man/Woman Marriage
Post Date: 2017-04-06 08:57:30 by cranky
1 Comments
The new superior of the worldwide Jesuit religious order said recently that, as Jesus Christ’s words about marriage were never recorded, there is no basis for a “black and white” church doctrine centering on lifelong marriage between one man and one woman. In a recent interview with Vatican journalist Giuseppe Rusconi of the Italian Catholic blog Rossoporpora, Father Arturo Sosa Abascal states that Jesus’s words about marriage must be “contextualized” and “discerned.” “Human reality is much more nuanced” and “never black and white,” said Abascal, who was elected superior of the Society of Jesus in October. LifeSiteNews has ...
Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas! Santa Claus was wrong. Today is the actual day Jesus was born. On this day in 4 BC, a bright Venus (the Star in the East) appeared over Bethlehem at high noon. As the Wise Men expected, it was right on time, exactly 4000 years after Adam (the first modern (civilized) man appeared in Mesopotamia, also called the Garden of Eden--as both the Bible and all archeologists and historians say. Proving beyond a shadow of a doubt that the Dispensational View of the Genesis creation saga is correct, March 27th, 4 BC marks the beginning of DAY 5 of the reign of man on Earth. We are in Day 7, marked by the drying up of the Euphrates at its beginning as prophesied. After today--which ...
It’s Time We Stopped Calling Donald Trump a Christian
Post Date: 2017-02-04 11:49:44 by Willie Green
34 Comments
Enough is enough. Even in the early days of the Presidential campaign it was a ludicrous idea: that Donald Trump was now a Christian; that he’d miraculously “found Jesus” right at the time he needed to pull in millions of Evangelical voters. Never mind that his life showed an open contempt for most of the things the Jesus of the Gospels lived and preached: humility, generosity, respect, empathy, kindness, peace. The high profile-evangelists in his corner assured their rightly alarmed flocks, that behind the scenes Donnie was changed man, a “baby Christian” who’d now seen the light and was making his way down the narrow road of faith to lead us all to the ...
Is the Virgin Birth Essential to Christianity?

Most of us are familiar with the narrative of Jesus’ birth: the angel who appears to Mary, the virgin conception, the babe in a manger in Bethlehem, the visit from the shepherds, and the gifts of the Magi. But do these events really matter to Christianity? Does It Matter How Jesus Came into the World? In a December 4, 2016, sermon, Pastor Andy Stanley, of North Point Community Church, introduced his sermon series Who Needs Christmas? with the following statement: One of the challenging things about the Christmas season, and one of the challenging things about the Christmas story, is in fact the Christmas story . . . as it relates to the birth of Jesus. Because there’s so much ...
What We Celebrate at Christmas
Post Date: 2016-12-24 15:45:15 by redleghunter

What we celebrate at Christmas is not so much the birth of a baby, as important as that is, but what’s so significant about the birth of that particular baby is that in this birth we have the incarnation of God Himself. An incarnation means a coming in the flesh. We know how John begins His gospel, “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” So in that very complicated introductory statement, he distinguishes between the Word and God, and then in the next breath identifies the two, “The Word was with God, and the Word was God.” And then at the end of the prologue, he says, “And the Word became flesh and dwelt among ...
Christian Leaders Persecuting “The Shack” Director For Depicting God As “Fat Black Woman”: “God’s Supposed To Be Smart”

Christian leaders are warning followers of the faith to steer clear of the upcoming Christian fiction flick The Shack, arguing if the film follows a “faithful portrayal” of author Willam P. Young’s book, it will “smear the evangelical understanding” of the Bible. “If the film is a faithful portrayal of the events and the theology of the book, then every Christian should be gravely alarmed at the further advance of beliefs that smear the evangelical understanding of the truth of the Bible,” Christian author James B. DeYoung, an acquaintance of the book’s author, told Christian News Network. “Bottom line, God is most certainly not a fat, black ...

No Room for an Inn
Post Date: 2016-12-18 22:01:54 by A K A Stone

You probably recognize this scene: Bethlehem (around 2,000 years ago): Joseph and Mary arrive at the sleepy town in the middle of the night. Mary, already in labor, remains on the donkey while Joseph frantically searches for a room at the local inns. Desperate, he begs one reluctant innkeeper for any place at all to have this baby. The innkeeper finally relents and makes room for them in a tumbledown stable with the cows. There’s just one problem. This isn’t what the Bible teaches. The true history has gotten choked out by myth. Stories, plays, and movies have dramatized the event for the sake of entertainment, but the real birth account is a bit different. Here’s what Luke ...

Where Did Satan Come From?
Post Date: 2016-10-10 17:58:12 by Willie Green

The devil goes by many names — Satan, the Prince of Darkness, Beelzebub and Lucifer to name a few — but besides this list of aliases, what do people really know about the brute? That is, how did the story of Satan originate? Many ancient religions have scriptures detailing the struggle between good and evil. For instance, in the Zoroastrian religion, one of the world's earliest, the supreme deity, Ormazd, created two entities: the chaotic and destructive spirit Ahriman and his beneficent twin brother, Spenta Mainyu, said Abner Weiss, a psychologist and the rabbi at the Westwood Village Synagogue in Los Angeles. "The ancient world struggled with the coexistence of good ...
Christian fundamentalist schools ‘performed exorcisms on children and beat pupils in religious rituals’

Exclusive investigation reveals serious concerns about how children taught at Accelerated Christian Education in the 1980s, 1990s and 2000s were treated, as ex-pupils claim exorcisms were performed on children, pupils were beaten in religious ceremonies and girls were ‘groomed’ for marriage to older men Teachers at Christian fundamentalist schools in Britain allegedly performed exorcisms on pupils, beat children in religious rituals and “groomed” girls for marriage, according to former students who say they have decided to speak out now after years of suffering in silence. The former pupils told The Independent such treatment of children was a “terrifying” ...
Brazoria County Justice

Brazoria County Jail is probably the most famous (or infamous) jail in the US (if not the world). They are basically famous for the fact that when a fight or a riot breaks out, the jailers do not come into the jail cell(s) to break it up, but send in their police dogs. And it works really quite well, and no jailer gets injured. Anyhow, one time I spent 30 days in the Brazoria Co. jail for blowing .08, and I was very mad at MADD for lowering the limit to .08 which is basically 2 tall boys which I had been drinking after work for 40+ years and is a time-honored tradition in Texas dating from the days of Stephen F Austin. And all the time you mare in jail, you can hear the police dogs ...
Pat Buchanan: A Eulogy For John McLaughlin–Ave Atque Vale!

Issue one! To understand John McLaughlin, it was helpful to have been a 13-year-old entering an all-boys Jesuit school in the 1950s. For when John yelled “Wronnng” at me from his center chair of “The McLaughlin Group,” it hit with the same familiar finality I had heard, many times, from Jesuits at the front of the class at Gonzaga. In that era, John was himself a Jesuit teacher at Fairfield Prep, where the black cape he wore and his authoritarian aspect had earned him from his students the nickname—Father God. In 1970, Fr. John heard another calling, and, declaring himself a liberal Republican, challenged Sen. John Pastore in his home state of Rhode Island. An ...

“‘Thine is the dominion, O Lord, and Thou dost exalt Thyself as head over all. Both riches and honor come from Thee, and Thou dost rule over all’” (1 Chronicles 29:11-12). Trust God, who controls everyone and everything. In Daniel 6, King Darius chose 120 princes to help him govern his kingdom. Over the princes he appointed three presidents, with Daniel being the first president. The princes and other two presidents were jealous of Daniel, so they devised a scheme against him. They told the king that he should make a law requiring every person to make his requests only to the king for the next thirty days. They said, “Anyone who makes a petition to any god or man ...

Waving off the clerics who had come to administer last rites, Voltaire said: “All my life I have ever made but one prayer to God, a very short one: ‘O Lord, make my enemies look ridiculous.’ And God granted it.” The tale of the thieved emails at the Democratic National Committee is just too good to be true. For a year, 74-year-old Socialist Bernie Sanders has been saying that, under DNC Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz, the party has been undercutting his campaign and hauling water for Hillary Clinton. From the 19,200 emails dumped the weekend before Clinton’s coronation, it appears the old boy is not barking mad. The deck was stacked; the referees were in the ...

Donald Trump's appeal to Evangelical voters is perplexing and bizarre, and it has earned the attention of more than one political observer. Samantha Bee dug into the phenomenon and came to the conclusion that it boiled down to a kind of identity politics, and now legendary documentarian Ken Burns has weighed in. He sat down with The Daily Beast to discuss a retrospective of his films just released online, but the conversation quickly drifted to the 2016 election.Burns did not mince words when it came to Donald Trump and the religious right, the culmination of what he sees as a long con:"The Republican Party has been extraordinarily successful at getting many groups of people to ...

Leftist pastor behind Dallas Black Lives Matter protest wrote of becoming Muslim The hard-Left Islamochristian “Rev.” Jeff Hood wrote this in November 2015: When Jesus bound his body and ultimately became the stranger in Matthew 25:35, he left no doubt that he was calling us to do the same. Since the Paris attacks, Muslims have been strangerized over and over. From calls for registration to violent language around refugees, the rhetoric has grown worse and worse with every day. Jesus is bound to the stranger. Jesus becomes the stranger. In our Islamophobic society, I have no question that Jesus is so intimately incarnated with and connected to our Muslim friends that he has ...
