We Are Citizens... 

First of the Kingdom of our LORD JESUS CHRIST and then to the NATION that gives us National Security and a framework for peace and tranquility locally. In our case that country is the United States of America. As Apostolic Christians, we should always be Honest to a flaw, Law Abiding and Patriotic. Unlike many nations, we each have a RESPONSIBILITY for our government and to help elect those who best reflect the Christian values our nation was founded on.

    Regrettably, in spite of unprecedented unity among Christian ministers in urging
    Christians to vote for morality and righteousness both from local pulpits and on         television, sadly many chose to vote for what they were conned into believing would     be best for their bank accounts.

    Since November 4, can you count the news reports you have read or seen on TV in     which homosexuals have clearly seen their unrighteous cause as being empowered         and have physically attacked churches and other Traditional Marriage individuals         and shown total disrespect for law and order. And have you noticed the news                 showing an  increase in recent homosexual molestation of little boys and youths?

    Likewise, the increase in the last two years in the number of murders and other             crimes in which small children are the victims. When killing a baby before it is             actually born because its birth would be inconvenient, an embarrassment or would     cost too much to clothe or feed, is approved by the court, then why not kill it after it     is two or three years old if it presents an inconvenience, embarrassment or costs too     much to clothe or feed? After all, by the time it is two or three, it has had at least a     taste of the life, liberty and pursuit of happiness guaranteed by our Founding                 Fathers.
   
    We sowed to the wind and now reap the whirlwind! We sought mammon or money     first and now look at the financial mess the last two years of liberal control of the         House of Representatives has brought upon us. Instead of looking at the facts, people     voted for the cleverest oratory and rhetoric. Never mind that the chief politician         often promised one group of admirers one thing and another group a totally opposite     position! Never mind that while he can suggest and recommend, the President is not     able to control the financial management of the country. The Constitution specifies     and we have been seeing in action the fact that it is the House of Representatives that     originates all monetary management bills, which are then approved by the Senate         and finally, the President either signs the bill into law or vetoes it. If he vetoes a bad     appropriations bill, the Congress can still vote and override his veto, so why blame     the President for the financial mess the United States is in now? You KNOW who         has had control of both the House and Senate for the last two disastrous years!

So what do we do now? Stop and think. Satan wins if he can keep Christians fighting for our legal rights instead of reaching out to win souls. But if we win enough souls and they have a real salvation experience that produces the new life in Christ Jesus, we will soon be in the clear majority and will be able to control election results and renew a determination to have a nation of righteousness instead of one of perversion and evil. 

Even if we won EVERY court battle and got every pro family, pro life, pro righteousness law and Amendment passed into law, without the change of heart of those pursuing wickedness, those laws would have little more positive effect than the 18th Amendment that declared Prohibition in the early 20th Century. Those who wanted liquor and other ALCOHOLIC DRINKS SIMPLY FOUND WAYS TO SUCCESSFULLY VIOLATE THE LAWS. The same would be true of anti-abortion laws,  anti-sodomy laws and so on.

And while money and income are necessities, God has promised to supply all our need, so we must be righteous in God's eyes and He will see that we do not lack for our earthly needs.

I recently received a questionairre asking  "What is your BEST idea for defeating the Democrats in 2008?"

My reply was,
Focus on SPIRITIUAL REVIVAL. With GOD on our side we cannot lose.

There isn't enough money in the world to buy enough airtime and advertising to counter the lies and misrepresentations of fact that the Democrats, Homosexuals and the Abortion (Contract Killer) Industry are already promoting and will promote furiously with the cooperation of the Liberal media.

But, "If MY people, who are called by MY name, will humble themselves and pray, Then will I hear from heaven, and forgive their sins, and heal their land." (2 Chronicles 7:14). 

      If you are a Bible Believer of ANY faith, denomination, or are Jewish, WE STILL MUST PRAY for President-elect Obama and that RIGHTEOUSNESS SHALL PREVAIL throughout the United States and indeed around the world in spite of his strong declarations of support for the privileges sought by the homosexuals and Abortion Industry. We need also to pray that the newly energized party in control of Congress AND the White House will somehow be prevented from bankrupting the country, as they now seem determined to do.

As Christians, we CANNOT support nor vote for any candidate known to support or defend the Contract Killing [Murder] of the unborn by hired killers who were sworn to preserve life, not kill (otherwise known as abortion). One national political party OFFICIALLY supports and promotes homosexual "rights" and the "rights" of the Abortion INDUSTRY. The other National Political Party OFFICIALLY supports the Traditional Family and the preservation of every life God creates - including the unborn. It should be crystally clear to every Christian that taking a stand FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS and LIFE should outweigh financial considerations in the upcoming 2008 elections. Sadly, in November 2008, many "Christians" voted for evil and lies, proving they are not true Bible believing Christians.

As Bible believers, we simply CANNOT support nor vote for any candidate or member of a political party known to support or defend the concept of same-sex, homosexual marriage nor so-called "domestic partnerships". One MAJOR political party's  declared  position is Pro Abortion and pro homosexual marriage or the equivalent. Christians MUST NOT vote for candidates whose party openly advocates such ungodliness.

Are you prepared to vote your values? Are you informed as to who are the best candidates and why? First and foremost, are you registered to vote?

Americans are blessed to have a "government of the people, by the people, and for the people." But democracy requires our participation and the most basic democratic participation is voting. When you vote, you help determine who will lead our nation, make our laws, both national and local, and protect our liberties. Please become fully informed of actual facts and don't allow clever advertisers and speech writers to fool you. Don't be misled. If one party wins the 2008 elections your rights to worship and to most especially, to speak out against evil will be severly curtailed by ever stronger "hate crimes" laws. Your pastor may be imprisoned for calling sin sin.

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, as many as 35 percent of the eligible Americans are not registered to vote – that’s 45 to 65 million people! Less than half of the voting-age population actually votes in any given election.

Pray folks. Earnestly PRAY and thank God who FOR HIS NAME'S SAKE, and He will indeed give America the victory.

However, as Christians, our PRIMARYcommission is not the correcting of every political injustice or wrongdoing, but in working to see souls won to the Lord Jesus Christ, and let HIM change their hearts and minds. An old saying, "A person convinced against his will; Is of the same persuasion still!"is very true. If we were to somehow manage to get all bad laws repealed and all good laws in their place, people whose hearts are bent on evildoing will still try to get around the laws and also to legalize the bad things again. 

While there are all sorts of churches that claim to believe and teach the Bible, in reality there are only a small percentage which actually put the teachings of the Bible above the teachings of the much more recent man who founded their denomination. Consequently, many Muslims (as well as Buddhists, Hindus and other religions) who look at so-called Christians and see all sorts of unChrist-like actions and attitudes do not get a true picture of our Loving Lord Jesus Christ, who was Almighty God manifest in human flesh. We need to get truly back to the Bible and the teachings of Jesus Christ and His original Apostles.

And as we cry out against the radicals among the Muslims who do violence to their religion's real teachings, we need to look at our Christian roots and see how far from our own scriptural roots many church organizations have come. And as we urge the Muslims to go back to the non-violent teachings of their Koran, we need to also return to the Bible teachings in context and forget traditions of men that are contrary to clear Bible principles and teachings.

Many people have the MISTAKEN idea that Christians should not get involved in politics, but in the process of letting our lights shine for Jesus, we do already have a positive influence on our country and its politics. However, this coming year is one in which it seems that ALL the evil forces are ALL lining up to battle Christian principles. But if  we who are true Bible believing Christians will forget partisan politics and pray for those who stand strongly FOR things we know are right in God's eyes and to replace crime-favoring judges who infringe our right to freedom of worship in the guise of the non-Constitutional false doctrine of "separation of church and state," who favor all sorts of ungodly things.

    Sadly, corrupt politicians will be to telling blatant lies and do all in their power to promote evil causes. May we URGE you to continue to pray earnestly for all  U. S. Senators and Representatives, especially those few who best represent Christian and Family values. Write, e-mail or call urging them to support the Constitutional Amendment to RESTORE the Bible, Ten Commandments and non-denominational prayer to our nation's school classrooms and courtrooms. After all, most of civilization depends upon the principles contained in the Ten Comandments. 

Either we vote FOR those candidates and current office holders who openly support good and righteous causes and overlook their supposed or fabricated failures or we support the forces of evil and unrighteousness across the board. As a father of young children who also has grown children and grandchildren, I would rather leave them with righteous VALUES and, if necessary, having to pay off a big money debt incurred because of righteous war on terrorists than a supposed lesser money debt claimed by those who represent the causes of EVIL IN THEIR DESPERATE EFFORT to buy votes for the party already known for their "tax and spend" practice for over 50 years and which now generally HAS NO moral or righteous values. Since the 1930's it is well documented that the Democratic Party, when in power, sticks its hand of taxation into your pocket and pulls out $20.00, gives you back maybe $1.00 and then proclaims how greatly they are helping and serving you, while their leaders make multiplied times the money you do and governmental waste and corruption run rampant. That is undeniable fact.

One Party Platform openly supports THE WICKED Homosexual "Rights" and Abortion "Rights" which we know are worse than evil in God's eyes. If homosexuality were a normal way of life, the human race would have vanished from the earth many centuries ago. Both the American Medical and Psychiatric associations had guidelines for helping homosexuals to overcome their mental deviant thoughts until activist judges and a few legislators without a shred of medical or scientific evidence made "correcting" the "homosexual deviant behavior" politically incorrect and it was dropped from the associations' manuals.  

A new and interesting possible law to reverse Roe v. Wade and protect the unborn uses solid scientific evidence that also provides for "in Vitro" fertilization demonstrates unmistakably and CLEARLY that human life begins from conception and demands protection of these tiny humans rights as specified already by the Constitution. The Roe v. Wade decision admimtted that there was not a clear definition of when human life begins and left an opening for Congress to define that moment. Let's elect courageous leaders who will take a stand to defend the Right to Life for the unborn.

It is little wonder that all the crimes have been taking place because of the lack of respect for human life taught by those clinging to humanistic religious beliefs and other non-Biblical religions -- even a great many that call themselves "Christian"!!

Let's get prayer and Bible reading back in our schools and courtrooms and end the crime epidemic!
