Financing Terrorists

I found this link on Break Point, excellent article and link to a blog. Indeed why are we financing terrorism in the world when we have plenty of resources here at home. May God forgive us of this terrible sin against not only our children but our future as well. Financing Terrorists

Apathy in America

Just read this on Chuck Coulson's website Viewpoint and thought I would pass it along really makes you wonder about the future of America when we do not take more of a part in the political process. We stand the chance of losing our liberties if we don't exercise them. We like to complain, but are we willing to do anything about it? Apathy in America

Judge affirms life term for OKC pharmacist in robber's killing | Tulsa World

Much has been written about this case, I thought I would weigh in. As a certified CLEET armed security guard one of the things they teach you is " shoot, don't shoot". Which means it teaches you when you are justified in using deadly force to protect yourself and others and when you are not. One of the main things they stress is, once the threat is stopped, you are no longer justified in shooting the person. As the video shows, Mr Ersland stopped the threat, the man in the store, then chased the other suspect out the door. He returned, went behind the counter retrieved another gun and shot him again. Much has been made from his actions, i. e. armchair jurors in the letters to the editor and comment posts in the paper. As anyone who is CLEET certified can tell you, YOU ARE NEVER JUSTIFIED DOING THAT! I feel for Mr. Ersland's family and could even understand some of the emotion that he was feeling at the time, robbing his store and trying to protect his employees. But, you cannot allow emotion to guide you,only your training.  Judge affirms life term for OKC pharmacist in robber's killing | Tulsa World

Ryder and Penske make a strong moral stand

Ryder and Penske have both made the decision not to rent trucks to medical facilities that preform abortions! Praise God for the people who sit on the corporate boards of these companies and made this decision. Of all the sins in this nation abortion is one of the most heinous. It affects the most helpless in our society and the most vulnerable. We need to support the companies with our letters, phone calls and also use their trucks when we need to rent one. To let the mainstream media tell it abortion is accepted by a wide majority of the people, a quick Google search will prove otherwise. We need to stand united with these companies and others who share these views and let it be known that this is neither accepted or condoned in this country. The only way this is going to stop is if it is looked upon by society as the horrible procedure it is. Be bold and speak out on this issue as these companies have and with God's blessings this will end.

PC vs. Profanity

Kobe Bryant was recently fined $100,000 for calling a referee a gay racial slur that begins with the letter f (rhymes with maggot). I have no problem with this as I think there is no place in our society for any kind of racial slurs. However it seems strange to me that our society is quickly accepting profanity in everyday conversation and on every media outlet. Such as Vice President Biden whispering the F word to President Obama while signing the Affordable Care Act, well within earshot of the cameras.It is also being heard more frequently on TV. As a Christian I find the use of God's name in vain very offensive. Yet I cannot imagine anyone being fined for doing so, not to mention it is one of the Ten Commandments. "Exodus 20:7 "You shall not take the name of the LORD your God in vain, for the LORD will not hold him guiltless who takes his name in vain." ESV. What kind of society would fine someone for a gay slur but, not for using The Lord's name who blessed this country so and has allowed us to prosper like no other before it ? One who is like the one described in Isaiah 5:20 " Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter!".ESV. We have gotten so far from our Lord and His Word we don't even realize how far from Him we are or don't care! My Fellow Christians join with me and let us pray for repentance and reawakening in our country. May God send men like George Whitefield to preach repentance in our nation. God is our only hope! He is all we ever need if we will just turn to Him in repentance.
