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.
 

Christian Patriotism 2008

Christian Patriotism 2008 - It Is A Real Stewardship by the Lord Jesus Christ. Are YOU registered to VOTE?  Or are you like the one-talent Servant in Matthew 25:13-29?

If you call yourself a Bible believing Christian, this is the year to prove it!  Never before, in the entire 232 years of United States history, has the line in the sand been so clearly drawn between the forces of good and the forces of evil! In the United States, as in no other major nation of the world, we have a stewardship of participating in choosing who shall be our government leaders. But many true Conservatives have determined, and I admit I was one who, following Mike Huckabee's withdrawal from the race, was seriously considering not voting or voting for a minor party candidate who at least espoused moral righteousness, even though I knew he would have no chance of winning. I credit David Barton, a Christian reporter who appears on DAYSTAR Television, who pointed out that although none of the present Presidential candidates is even close to 100 percent Common Sense Conservative, there is one who has at least voted in the U. S. Senate FOR pro-life and pro-family issues most of the time, while both of those opposing him are 100 percent LIBERALS who always SUPPORT Abortion on Demand, — oops, Hillary did vote against the Partial Birth Abortion ban, but did so because she has said publicly that she had felt sure the Supreme Court would overturn it and they didn't, which upset her! If YOU call yourself a Bible Believing Christian or a Tanakh or Talmud believing Jew, who MUST you vote for? The one who voted for the sanctity of life. (Incidentally, he is the only one now in the running who has a Bible name.) I hope you saw the pre-debate moderated by Pastor Rick Warren, author of "The Purpose Driven Life" with candidates John McCain and Barack Obama at Saddleback Church on Fox News Saturday, August 16. Ome of the most significant things was the stark contrast between  Barack Obama's choice of his notoriously anti-American way wife, his mother and his grandmother zs those to whom he would turn for advice when he faced a serious problem  and John McCain carefully describing trustworthy leaders with proven track records as those whose advice he would seek. McCain also stood firmly for judges who stand by the Constitution as written and have a proven track record as against the Democratic party choice of judges who, without ever having been elected, drcide to rewrite the Constitution to fit current anti-patriotic and anti-Christian values. While he did not initially say he favored the Marriage Amendment and preferred for states to make that kind of law, he clearly stated that if federal judges took it upon themselves to legislate that every state must accept homosexual marriages, he WOULD support the Marriage Amendment. Many are the scriptures that indicate that godly morality is the thing God blesses and that He will take care of the other matters for those who walk uprightly. "Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people." (Proverbs 14:34). And "If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land." (2 Chronicles 7:14 KJV). and these are only two of the most significant verses. Today, it is especially important that we elect a President who can be trusted – not for what he says he will do, but for what he has already done in the Senate and prior political life. Six (6) of the nine (9) U. s. supreme Court justices are 68 years old and the probability is that at least three (3) or four (4) of them will retire or die during the next 4 year Presidency. We have already seen the Ninth Circuit Judiciary legislating from the bench on several occasions to legalize homosexual marriage, uphold abortion and prohibit even "scratch-eyebrow" prayers over meals in schools. They also ruled against the Boy Scouts and just about anything else that is right and good. Likewise Federal Judge Myron Thompson in Alabama who succeeded in his godless task of getting Christian Alabama Supreme Court Chief Justice Roy Moore out of office for his defense of the Ten Commandments plaque he had erected.  Based on past Senate votes, we know that two of the Presidential candidates will nominate radical Liberal Federal judges who will follow the theory of a "living Constitution" which must be continually be updated by court mandate rather than by the established majority rule system wherein Congress or the governors of states agree and by strong majority vote of the people, make Amendments to the Constitution as established in the Constitution. So a handful of unelected Federal Judges can totally disrupt the entire U. S. legal system which, by history, is based primarily on the Bible – not on the English Magna Charta, as is what many modern lawyers are now being taught. One Presidential candidate helped to break the gridlock in the Senate and get several Constitution – believing judges appointed. Who MUST Christians vote for? The Sixth Commandment says: "Thou shalt not kill." (Exodus 20:13). This is one unique part of the Judeo-Christian ethic. We RESPECT the sanctity of human life. While some other religions also treat human life with great respect, the other major world religious system teaches that killing others is a way to assure your eternal destiny. You only have to hear the ravings of Osama binLaden and many of the Muslim Mullahs in the United States to know this is true. But ever since the Roe v. Wade ruling in 1973, we  have allowed unelected judges to rule that the most innocent of human lives can be slaughtered by CONTRACT KILLERS hired to MURDER them by none other than their own mothers or fathers. In fact, this has become a very well-funded INDUSTRY that fights to make even true statements like this a "Hate Crime"!!! And a small percentage of American women loudly proclaim and demand this as their "Right." A RIGHT to kill their own innocent babies!? I believe, based on numerous polls I have seen, that the American people as a whole do NOT approve of this, and it is right that they do not. The Bible made a severe penalty on any who caused a woman to "lose her fruit" when she was pregnant. Jesus taught us to love and the Apostle Paul taught us to love. And YOU and I help pay for this mass murder by allowing the funding of Planned Parenthood with our tax dollars. We need to demand that Congress cut out the funding of Planned Parenthood with several hundred thousand dollars of OUR Tax money! Yet how many who call themselves Christians will go into that voting booth in November and vote for a presidential candidate who has ALWAYS supported ABORTION on Demand and who is a member of a political party that has ABORTION on Demand a part of its NATIONAL PLATFORM? Then consider Sodom and Gomorrah. Why did God destroy those cities? A recent documentary on TV showed how after centuries of wind-blown erosion, some of the remains of Sodom and Gomorrah are now visible and fragments of "brimstone" a unique flammable mix of sulphur and magnesium not otherwise found in that area is present throughout the ruins. We know that it was for their radical homosexuality. Under Old Testament law, it was an abomination punishable by death. And in the New Testament, the Apostle Paul clearly  describes both the why and the what of homosexuality in Romans 1:20-28  and solidly condemns it. Yet one major political party, in their NATIONAL Platform  wants to allow homosexual "couples" to marry, to adopt children and to have all the privileges, tax advantages and other breaks given to real reproductive man and woman marriage. So what, my dear Bible – believing friend, are you going to do? Vote for the more righteous and godly platform that DEFENDS traditional marriage and the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness for even those who are not yet visible other than as a very active bulge in their mother's tummies? Or are you going to believe the party that picks your pocket to fund multi-million dollar socialist programs and gives you back pennies on the dollar loudly proclaiming their generosity and that has a blatantly anti-Christian platform? Please, folks, if you honestly are not a Bible doubter, then you MUST vote for what the Bible CLEARLY teaches is right.  There is NO WAY the party that stands FOR the biblical principles can outspend the other party which has  funding from leaders of several major corporations that have been taken over by the homosexual activists and who have no hesitancy to tell any lie that they think will get their activists elected. We can ONLY WIN if we are on God's side and God turns the tables on His enemies.  If we compromise with evil we will lose - big time! — Samuel M. Smith

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.

 4Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.

 5Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;

 6And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.

 7Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.

 8Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.

 9Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work:

 10But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates:

 11For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.

 12Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.

 13Thou shalt not kill.

 14Thou shalt not commit adultery.

 15Thou shalt not steal.

 16Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour.

 17Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbour's.
