On Feb. 21, 1848, “Old Man Eloquent” John Quincy Adams suffered a stroke at his desk in the House chamber. He had just given an impassioned speech against the Democrat plan to expand slavery into the Western territories acquired after the Mexican-American War. He died 2 days later without regaining consciousness. A bronze marker on the U.S. House floor indicates where the desk of John Quincy Adams once stood.

John Quincy Adams was the only U.S president to serve in Congress after having been president, being elected a U.S Representative from Massachusetts, 1830-48. Nicknamed “The Hell-Hound of Slavery” for relentlessly speaking out against slavery, John Quincy Adams single-handedly led the fight to lift the gag rule which prohibited discussion of slavery on the House floor.

In 1841, John Qunicy Adams defended 53 Africans accused of mutiny aboard the slave ship Amistad. He won their case before the Supreme Court, giving them back their freedom.

John Quincy Adams stated: “The moment you come to the Declaration of Independence, that every man has a right to life and liberty, an inalienable right, this case is decided. I ask nothing more in behalf of these unfortunate men than this Declaration.”

John Quincy Adams is the only major figure in American history who knew both the Founding Fathers and Abraham Lincoln. Lincoln, as a freshman Congressman from Illinois, was a pallbearer at John Quincy Adams’ funeral.

African slaves brought to America were purchased at Muslim slave markets. Over the 1,400 years of Islamic conquest, Muslims enslaved an estimated 180 million Africans.

“The Annotated John Quincy Adams – A Bibliography,” compiled by Lynn H. Parsons (Westport, CT, 1993, p. 41, entry#194), contains “Unsigned essays dealing with the Russo-Turkish War and on Greece,” (The American Annual Register for 1827-28-29, NY: 1830): “The natural hatred of the Mussulmen towards the infidels is in just accordance with the precepts of the Koran. … The fundamental doctrine of the Christian religion is the extirpation of hatred from the human heart. It forbids the exercise of it, even towards enemies. …”

He continued: “In the 7th century of the Christian era, a wandering Arab … spread desolation and delusion over an extensive portion of the earth. … He declared undistinguishing and exterminating war as a part of his religion. … The essence of his doctrine was violence and lust, to exalt the brutal over the spiritual part of human nature.”

An answer provided in “The Annotated John Quincy Adams – A Bibliography” (NY: 1830): “The vanquished may purchase their lives, by the payment of tribute; the victorious may be appeased by a false and delusive promise of peace. … The faithful follower of the prophet may submit to the imperious necessities of defeat: but the command to propagate the Moslem creed by the sword is always obligatory, when it can be made effective. The commands of the prophet may be performed alike, by fraud, or by force.”

John Quincy Adams described Muslim behavior in “Essay on Turks” (The American Annual Register for 1827-28-29): “Such is the spirit, which governs the hearts of men, to whom treachery and violence are taught as principles of religion.”

This is similar to Winston Churchill, who described Muslim behavior in “The Story of the Malakand Field Force” (Dover Publications, 1898): Their system of ethics, which regards treachery and violence as virtues rather than vices, has produced a code of honor so strange and inconsistent, that it is incomprehensible to a logical mind.”

Scottish philosopher David Hume wrote the Prophet of Islam in “Of the Standard of Taste,” 1760: “Let us attend to his narration; and we shall soon find, that the prophet bestows praise on such instances of treachery, inhumanity, cruelty, revenge, bigotry, as are utterly incompatible with civilized society.”

After reading the insight of John Quincy Adams, Winston Churchill and David Hume, one is faced with a perplexing question: if someone is capable of cutting your head off, would they be willing to lie to you first in order to gain entrance into your country for that purpose?

During his career, John Quincy Adams also served as:

U.S. Minister to Russia
U.S. Minister to Prussia
U.S. Minister to the Netherlands
U.S. Minister to Great Britain, where he negotiated the end of the War of 1812
U.S. Secretary of State, where he negotiated obtaining Florida from Spain
On Sept. 26, 1810, John Quincy Adams wrote in his diary: “I have made it a practice for several years to read the Bible through in the course of every year. I usually devote to this reading the first hour after I rise every morning. … I have this morning commenced it anew … this time with Ostervald’s French translation.”

In Sept. of 1811, John Quincy Adams wrote to his son from St. Petersburg, Russia: “My dear Son … You mentioned that you read to your aunt a chapter in the Bible or a section of Doddridge’s Annotations every evening. This information gave me real pleasure; for so great is my veneration for the Bible. … It is of all books in the world, that which contributes most to make men good, wise, and happy. … My custom is, to read four to five chapters every morning immediately after rising from my bed. … It is essential, my son … that you should form and adopt certain rules … of your own conduct. … It is in the Bible, you must learn them. … ‘Thou shalt love the Lord thy God, with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength, and thy neighbor as thy self.’ On these two commandments, Jesus Christ expressly says, ‘hang all the law and the prophets.'”

John Quincy Adams’ correspondence to his son is compiled in “Letters of John Quincy Adams to his son, on the Bible and its Teachings,” which contains his statement: “No book in the world deserves to be so unceasingly studied, and so profoundly meditated upon as the Bible.”

On March 13, 1812, John Quincy Adams noted: “This morning I finished the perusal of the German Bible.”

After negotiating the Treaty of Ghent, John Quincy Adams wrote from London, Dec. 24, 1814: “You ask me what Bible I take as the standard of my faith – the Hebrew, the Samaritan, the old English translation, or what? I answer, the Bible containing the Sermon on the Mount. … The New Testament I have repeatedly read in the original Greek, in the Latin, in the Geneva Protestant, in Sacy’s Catholic French translations, in Luther’s German translation, in the common English Protestant, and in the Douay Catholic translations. I take any one of them for my standard of faith.”

On Dec. 31, 1825, John Quincy Adams wrote in his diary: “I rise usually between five and six. … I walk by the light of the moon or stars, or none, about four miles, usually returning home. … I then make my fire, and read three chapters of the Bible.”

Poet Ralph Waldo Emerson described John Quincy Adams: “No man could read the Bible with such powerful effect, even with the cracked and winded voice of old age.”

John Quincy Adams wrote: “I speak as a man of the world to men of the world; and I say to you, Search the Scriptures! The Bible is the book of all others … not to be read once or twice or thrice through, and then laid aside, but to be read in small portions of one or two chapters every day.”

At the age of 77, John Quincy Adams was vice-president of the American Bible Society, where he stated, Feb. 27, 1844: “I deem myself fortunate in having the opportunity, at a stage of a long life drawing rapidly to its close, to bear at … the capital of our National Union … my solemn testimonial of reverence and gratitude to that book of books, the Holy Bible. The Bible carries with it the history of the creation, the fall and redemption of man, and discloses to him, in the infant born at Bethlehem, the Legislator and Saviour of the world.”

John Quincy Adams stated in his presidential inaugural address, March 4, 1825: “‘Except the Lord keep the city, the watchman waketh in vain,’ with fervent supplications for His favor, to His overruling providence I commit with humble but fearless confidence my own fate and the future destinies of my country.”

The problem with the modern day church

I realized here lately that most leaders in the church congregations to be dumber than the congregation.  This applies to a whole lot of things, both on the job and in the church. You are never supposed to know more than they do. If you try or learn anything they look at it as a offense and affront to their authority. All they want is to go through the motions they are not really interested in learning and growing. They just want to go to church and sooth their feelings and go on with their lives. Like Amos 8:11 said the famine in the end time will be lack of hearing the Word of God and that is so true! We are seeing this everyday but wonder why we're not being effective. It's because the church itself will not discipline  itself and read The Word. The Scripture 1 Corinthians 3: 1&2, that says you can only have milk and not meat, you have to go back to the basics when you should be teachers yourself! Applying this to the modern day church, we will never have the effect Christ wanted to have on the world, because they don't know the Word. You cannot share the Word if you don't know the Word. This is from sheer laziness and a lack of love for God. This is unbelievable! This is why Randy and Mack both responded to me like they did. I don't know why this challenges their knowledge and authority? Everybody should know as much about the Bible as I do. I am not a Biblical scholar by any means, but they ought to at least have a layman's working knowledge of the Bible. They want to go to class, set through sermons and go on with their life and act like nothing's changed! There is no true desire for the Word of God in their lives. Without the Word of God, there is no church. You're simply a social organization like the Masons or the Rotary Club or any other you care name. This is not what the church is. If there is not a strong desire to glorify and honor God there, what are we doing then?

Trump 2016? Are we that desperate?

As we are nearing the primary election  I can't help but think to myself, are we so desperate as to put someone like Donald Trump into the president's office?!

I have yet to hear him say anything substantive about any of the problems this nation is facing. How to fix them, how to finance them, or whatever.

What does  his foreign policy look like? What is his answer to the national debt?  How do we stop the deficit? What would he replace the Affordable Care Act with that he wants to abolish so bad? I haven't heard him say anything in the debates, interviews or speeches he has given. He has yet to address any of these issues.

Would somebody please explain to me what makes this man so popular? I know he is saying what a lot of people feel, but it has no practical use as President. He will be dealing with world leaders. We have got to put someone in there who can unite people and not divide them!

We must learn to compromise and move forward as a nation. No one party is right all the time or one person. We have forgotten how to compromise and come to an agreement on something. This nation is at a critical point in its history and if we don't pull out now, we may not be able to! 

This is the only election I can remember that, as a reporter pointed out, where  experience does not matter! You have John Kasich,  a governor and a 18 year member of the U.S. Seanate who worked on the Budget Committee and helped  balance the budget. You have Jeb Bush, governor of Florida, who knows about immigration and dealing with a budget. Yet none of this seems to matter. It has to be about more than a five second sound byte. There has to be substance to what they say and a plan in place and be able to assemble a group of people to execute that plan.

If we don't elect a true leader, this nation will just continue to decline. I love my country and I'm very worried about it, but if we don't repent and turn our hearts and minds back to God and start electing some proper leaders for this country, I fear for the future of this nation!

Peaceful/ Moderate Islam?

Here is a link to a story I read recently. http://www.christianitytoday.com/gleanings/2015/january/robert-p-george-saudi-arabia-whip-me-raif-badawi-uscirf.html There is no peaceful/ moderate Islam. As Ravi Zacharias said it so well " Is there such a thing as Moderate Islam?". From what I see and read, moderate Islam exists in this country alone and no other. Islam has one goal only and that is to convert the whole world and set up a world wide Caliphate. You either convert or die, there is no 3rd option or alternative.  Moderate Muslims are just as vile to the Fundamentalists,  commonly referred to as Radicals, as any other infidel! Their spread in this country is quite frightening! The main reason Islam is growing in this nation is because Christians have not been the witnesses we should have been and we have not lead people to Christ as we were told in the Great Commission.

A recent sign of how far we have slipped is in letting a Muslim call to prayer being broadcast from a Christian church! It was at Duke University! Here is the link.  http://therightscoop.com/duke-university-to-hold-muslim-call-to-prayer-services-in-christian-church/ Do you think a Mosque would allow Christians in this country to do this? Much less in a Muslim country like Saudia Arabia? Of course not! Then why are we laying down our rights as a Christian people?  This is absurd behavior! We need to wake up and stand up for our rights as Christian people or, we will no longer be a Christian nation! These people are not wanting to assimilate and become Christians and Americans they want to come to this country and convert it to Islam and bring about the worldwide Caliphate!

The Source of Homosexuality; A Christian's point of view

   
     Why are we obsessed with where this originates from? What does it matter if people are born with an inclination for people of the same sex or if they develop it later in life? Regardless of the answer, the source is the same, the sinful Adamic nature of man. Rom 5:12  Therefore, as through one man sin entered into the world, and death through sin; and so death passed unto all men, for that all sinned: Rom 5:12  Therefore, as through one man sin entered into the world, and death through sin; and so death passed unto all men, for that all sinned:.

Heb 9:27  And inasmuch as it is appointed unto men once to die, and after this cometh judgment;.We are all condemned to Hell for our sins, be they homosexuality, adultery, murder or lying or anything else that is sin toward God. All sin separates us from God, there is no little sin, all will and have convicted us of eternal death in Hell. All sin comes from our Adamic fallen nature including homosexuality. So to say that someone was born that way is true up to a point. 

     The real point is not that they are tempted by homosexual thoughts and desires, but they make the choice to act upon them! Then it changes from temptation to sin. We all fight temptation one way or the other, what it comes down to is our response to that temptation. For the Christian, this is when we need to bow in prayer and call on God's Promises in 1Corinthians 10:13 " There hath no temptation taken you but such as man can bear: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation make also the way of escape, that ye may be able to endure it. " We do not have any control over temptation entering our lives, but, we have complete control over how we choose react to the temptation!

     Why are we spending our time arguing where this comes from and how instead of fulfilling The Great Commission and telling people those who commit this and other sins that they are going to Hell if they don't repent? If we as Christians fail to tell others about their sins and their only hope for forgiveness is only found in Jesus Christ, nothing else matters! Not the source, not the type of sin or what someone may or may not have said. It all comes down to when you stand before Jesus on Judgement Day. He will either be your Savior or He will be your Judge. 

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!

What was the Confederate Soldier fighting for?

As I was researching some family history I found some Confederate soldiers in my lineage. It occured to me what were these average men fighting for? By average I mean subsistence farmers, in other words they had to grow everything they ate or make everything they used. These men whose lives were occupied with keeping food on the table and clothing on their backs, what interest did they have in rich plantation owners?

    The answer I believe is none!

Why should they risk life and limb for a corporate business man that they had no interest in or stand to benefit from in any way shape or form?

Most were too busy to keep up with politics, and they did not have access to the media as we do today.

The overwhelming reason to me seems to be that the Union Army was fighting its way through the South and destroying everything in its path. The only choice these men had to save their families and their farms was to join the Confederate Army.

Whether they believed in slavery or not does not seem to be an issue that comes up in the letters of Confederate soldiers I have read. I believe they were fighting a  government that they beleived had overstepped it's bounds as laid out in the Constitution, and an opposing army that was determined to destroy them.

Now let me be perfectly clear on something. No one in his right mind would say it is right for one man to enslave another!

The atrocities committed during slavery are horrific and some of the worst crimes ever committed against humanity! The white people of this time seem to have had the same mindset as the Nazis did to the Jews or the abortionist to unborn children. They were not acknowledged as human beings.

Therefore they were denied human rights.

But I want to focus on the average Confederate soldier.

It seems to me that the above-mentioned reasons are the only ones they would with risk their lives over. Why else would they do this?

From what I have learned watching Antiques Roadshow, when they are talking about Confederate Army memorabilia, it is always of much poorer quality than what the Union soldiers had. Also in one Confederate soldiers letter I read said they had a sit-down strike because they were not  paid or fed. Which leads me to believe they were fighting for family and the Constitution.

A man may believe strongly in many issues, but very few he is willing to lay his life down for!
