Standing up for the Word of God!

It's time we stood up with Phil and others like him and took America back in the name of God. Below is a link to Bryan Fisher's blog on this.

We need to use this momentum to our advantage and tell the gays we are not taking anymore of this when we stand up for the Word of God!

the Ten Commandments display controversy

There has been a lot of controversy lately about the 10 Commandments display at the Oklahoma State Capitol grounds. A display of the Ten Commandments or a Christian Cross or a Nativity scene are the outward display of the hearts and minds of the people who put them up. The Ten Commandments and other Christian symbols are a reflection of the society at the time they were erected. In this post modern Christian society we now live in, these are repulsive to most people. Hence the controversy of the display at the State Capitol.

If we want to see these symbols in our government buildings, we must first put God in our hearts, our minds, our lives and our homes. Then we will see the outward representative of these in society. Otherwise we will do nothing but give Christianity a bad name and dishonor God.

Sadly, the ones to blame for this departure from God in our society, are us Christians. We have chosen to remain silent for too long, and to try to confine God to our churches and our minds. It is not the loud protests from the ACLU, secularists or Atheists that gave rise to this controversy. No, it is the deafening roar of Christian silence!

Cold Wind

by Jim Harrison
I like those old movies where tires and wheels run backwards on
horse-drawn carriages pursued by indians, or Model As driven by
thugs leaning out windows with tommy guns ablaze. Of late I feel a
cold blue wind through my life and need to go backwards myself to
the outback I once knew so well where there were too many mosqui-
toes, blackf1ies, curious bears, flowering berry trees of sugar plum
and chokeberry, and where sodden and hot with salty sweat I'd slide
into a cold river and drift along until I floated against a warm sandbar,
thinking of driving again the gravel backroads of America at
thirty-five miles per hour in order to see the ditches and gulleys, the
birds in the fields, the mountains and rivers, the skies that hold our
10,000 generations of mothers in the clouds waiting for us to fall
back into their arms again.
