The New AmericanWarning I was going to write a short bit on the warnings from God about twisting His Word but came across this that says it better than I could: God is a whole lot smarter than we are. God Almighty was concerned that we might be deceived as He put many warnings about such...
DAVID BROOKS Published: February 2, 2012 A few weeks ago, a 22-year-old man named Jefferson Bethke produced a video called “Why I Hate Religion, but Love Jesus.” The video shows Bethke standing in a courtyard rhyming about the purity of the teachings of Jesus and the hypocrisy of the church. Jesus preaches healing, surrender and...

By Doug Patton Original Post My wife was four months pregnant with the first of our two sons when the infamous Roe vs. Wade ruling was announced. Overnight, the world changed. On the 21st of January 1973, she had no legal right to do anything but carry him to term. The following day, January...
By Joel Hilliker Columnist The Trumpet Weekly Why does it seem that the only time the American government expresses shock, dismay and horror, it is over the conduct of its soldiers on the battlefield? Through the Prophet Isaiah, God calls America a “hypocritical nation.” It’s at times like these that it becomes clear why....
The various signs that identify end times in the Bible are sometimes likened to contractions experienced by a mother during childbirth and up to delivery, in that they become more frequent and increasingly intense. As this is a human experience unchanged throughout history, it makes for a timeless analogy, which scripture aptly does. In...
If you know these things, blessed are you if you do them. — John 13:17 Remember a couple of years ago the government implemented a new regulation that will require US food makers to list the amount of “trans fat” on the labels of most food products purchased in stores. Trans fat, according to some has...
A friend sent this to me a good long while ago and I had meant to post this earlier but I kept reading it over and over again just to feel the emotion of it and its impact… his statement along with his sending this to me was well timed: I urge you to...
We were taught, sometime in our childhood, that there are three hundred sixty five days in a year, except leap years, which contain three hundred sixty six. That was not at all deceptive, given that we understood the concept of three digit integers. When we learned fractions, the number was adjusted to 365 and...
This dispatch is the result of much thought about, observation of and grieving over where our country, your country, my country, is headed. It was not borne of any delusion that I’m qualified to give any of you advice. Rather, I strongly believe that 2010 and 2011 each were, and 2012 is going to...
It’s the New Year and many of us are now putting together our plans for 2012, both family and business. The ones that are really on the ball have already done it. Surprise, in our household, business, politics, and family have a great deal in common and the connection could radically alter the way...
COMMENT: Okay, it is the day after CHRISTmas so I thought something a little different might be in order, however, as you review today’s post, you will find that it touches on many of the very ‘hot’ issues of the day, including religious freedom, abortion, Islam, family life, charity, abstinence, sexual purity, etc. Very...
“In those days a decree went out from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be registered. This was the first registration when Quirinius was governor of Syria. And all went to be registered, each to his own town. And Joseph also went up from Galilee, from the town of Nazareth, to Judea, to...
The Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many. — Matthew 20:28 Although millions celebrate Jesus’ birthday, few seem to be aware of its real significance. We recognize that His birth was unusual because He was born of a virgin. His...
“For unto you is born….. a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord” – Luke 2:11 Of all the beautiful traditions of Christmas, few are so ancient in meaning and so rich in symbolism as the Candy Cane. From the beginning of the tradition of the Christmas Tree, it was customary to decorate the tree with...
As we approach the celebration of Christ’s birth, I am reminded of the words of John Quincy Adams. On July 4, 1837, he spoke these words: “Why is it that, next to the birthday of the Savior of the world, your most joyous and most venerated festival returns on this day? … Is it...
Make straight paths for your feet, so that what is lame may not be dislocated, but rather be healed. — Hebrews 12:13 Sally and I, several years ago had the opportunity to travel over a leaf-strewn road through the mountains of Vermont. Those of us who use the road today enjoy a smooth ride over difficult...
You, O God, have tested us; You have refined us as silver is refined. — Psalm 66:10 The main end of life is not to do but to become,” F. B. Meyer said. And for this we are being prepared every day. As silver is refined by fire, the heart is often refined in...
All things come from You, and of Your own we have given You. — 1 Chronicles 29:14 Read: Psalm 95 John Hauberg and his wife live in a stunning home in Seattle. It is built mostly of glass inside and out. Hundreds of glass artifacts decorate the light-flooded rooms, and even the sinks, shelves,...
Faculty and administrators at a Georgia university are attempting to derail the dream of one of its graduate students to become a school counselor. The reason: Her Christian beliefs on homosexuality don’t square with the politically correct doctrines embraced by the school. In 2010, reported the Baptist Press News, Augusta State University placed counseling student...
I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes. — Romans 1:16 Occasionally I meet people who know they have a spiritual need but are reluctant to make a personal commitment to Christ. Although they have seen what faith in Christ has...
I have spent a good deal of this morning reading about the subject in the title, so much so, this rather ill feeling came over me, not unlike the feeling that I was sinking into a pit of wet sand and there seemed little hope. I guess the worst descriptions on the subject came from my more...
I was writing a Christmas article about the wreaths on the graves of American soldiers when I came across the company that provides the wreaths and why. Someone certainly needs to remember those who paid the ultimate price for our freedom. Today, many of our public schools and overly-expensive universities do not even teach...
Martha was distracted with much serving. —Luke 10:40 While Martha served Jesus unsparingly, her sister Mary sat at His feet, listening and learning. Charles H. Spurgeon (1834-1892) believed that Martha’s mistake wasn’t her serving, but rather that she allowed it to distract her attention from Jesus. Spurgeon believed that we should be Martha and...
Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. —Romans 12:2 A friend was looking for a church to join and told me she had found just what she was looking for: “I like this church because I don’t have to change my lifestyle of partying. It...
If he has walked in My statutes and kept My judgments faithfully—he is just; he shall surely live! — Ezekiel 18:9 There is a hidden danger in any proverb. A proverb is a general principle—not an absolute truth—and it can be misused. “Like father, like son,” we say, but it depends on who says...
The BIG push for Sodomites is unbelievable. In my youth such would have brought instant death to those who promote this.. Obama and Old Paint (Hillary) are working hard to bring down the rain of fire and brimstone on the heads of all who do not remove themselves from this abomination. If you want...
Whenever I am afraid, I will trust in You. —Psalm 56:3 A young woman was waiting for a bus in a crime-ridden area when a rookie policeman approached her and asked, “Do you want me to wait with you?” “That’s not necessary,” she replied. “I’m not afraid.” “Well, I am,” he grinned. “Would you...
The last thing I spoke to you about aggression and conflict I didn’t tell you is that most of us dislike it, and therefore avoid confrontation. Often, we would rather avoid a conflict rather than deal with problematic issues, but if we fail to act, the problem will only get worse. Consider Matt. He...
COMMENT: We are in the season where Christians prepare to celebrate the Birth of Jesus Christ. (Before I hear back from someone that December 25 isn’t really Jesus’ birthday, I know that! However this is the time we have set aside for the celebration.) It is my very favorite time of year. We are...
Bruce Weinstein wrote an article some time ago about anger and what directs it and I have found that it most cases it is true about most individuals that I know. He said and I quote “All we have to do is open the newspaper, turn on the TV, or look at the world...
It’s pretty common for people to have a standard answer they give when asked how they are. Mine is generally “I can’t complain.” I’ve come to realize that the normal response to that, “no one would listen if you did” is itself a subtle form of complaint. There are at least a couple of...
COMMENT: Despite what is happening all around us today, this is STILL the best, most free nation in the world. We have much to be thankful for starting with the fact that this nation was birthed in God’s heart before it was birthed in the hearts of our forefathers. Countless people down through the...
A friend recently recommended this video series to me entitled “Know Your Enemy” by the Fuel Project, and I devoted most of my spare waking hours in the last few days watching it. It has nothing to do with fuel in a literal sense, but I guarantee you will not regret the time you...
Having scanned your September 2011 “Special Issue” of St. Anthony Messenger, it only left me puzzled. Your own DRA version (JN 14:6) has it that “Jesus saith to him: I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No man cometh to the Father, but by me.” Muslims might be “Seeking God ” ~...
Recently Newt Gingrich has attempted to make a comeback at a time when conservatives are disgusted with nearly all policies of government. But who is he really and what does he stand for. The Real Newt Gingrich Part I The Real Newt Gingrich Part II The Real Newt Gingrich Part 3 The Real Newt...
Let us not overlook the female version of this issue. There are many female’s who sexually molest little girls as well. Lesbians are no better than their male counterparts - for some reason they seem to disappear into the woodwork a lot easier than the males do. How many females go to Congress and...
For the last 10 years, Sally and I have had the pleasure of listening to great artists, black and white, provide spiritual direction through gospel music. At Carnegie Hall, gospel singer Wintley Phipps delivers perhaps the most powerful rendition of Amazing Grace ever recorded. He says, “A lot of people don’t realize that just...

You’ve been listening about this for the last week… the suit has been filed…….. A professor at a rival university is suing Washington D.C.’s Catholic University of America, alleging human rights violations by the presence of crosses in every room on campus. George Washington University Professor John Banzhaf filed a complaint with the Washington,...
By Coach Dave Daubenmire “The church has become secularized. The salt of the earth has been leavened by the salt of the world. For the most part, people who attend church think no differently about issues than their neighbors who don’t attend church.” If thou forbear to deliver them that are drawn unto death,...
4 Years ago today, Sally went into what some will call a simple surgical technique called LASIK surgery on her eyes. She has wanted to do this for some time but has never had the opportunity till now. I, as always, show myself to be the pillar of strength and stand with her, all the...
In a letter from Louis Turner: Recently, and on many occasions I have attended several different churches for various political and religious meetings to help me understand the teachings of Sharia Law, and how they are NOT compatible with the Christian faith… American values; or the American way of life! As a caveat to...
The Bible teaches us that men and woman are equal in the eyes of Christ and it is just as clear that God is no respecter of persons. The Civil Rights Act of 1964 was both damaging and historic for women in the workplace. The United States Congress declared that equal training and experience...
So, remember, when dealing with corporate entities or the State, don't expect "them" to have an ethical or moral capacity. While true, many corporations do implement codes of conduct and benefits for their servants to ensure smooth operations, in most cases these are given and withdrawn as the need arises, as in the State,...
A plant engineer called on an industrial salesman to examine a problem with some material handling equipment. The salesman adroitly analyzed the problem and proposed a solution. The engineer thanked the salesman and proceeded to take the salesman’s proposal to other vendors for pricing. He found a vendor whose bid was cheaper than the...
