We all have our different Jails, our own walls, peaks and Valleys, we all have got Problems, and when we do we need a Brother in Christ to Pull us out of the Fire. Join this Blog so you can share our Fire Extinguisher, The Sword of the Lord, The Word, God's Tried and True Get Thee Behind me Satan Gospel. When Jesus faced Satan's temptations He always used the Word. You can too and we'll show you how to do it every time.

Jesus was Always a Capitalist
I fear the "Church", especially the modern "Church" has badly missed the Jewish Doctrine behind Joses' gift to the early Church at Jerusalem from the sale of his land. God NEVER asked all the Church members at Jerusalem to sell their land, nothing of the sort. Look carefully at what happened: "And Joses, who by the apostles was surnamed Barnabas, (which is, being interpreted, The son of consolation,) a Levite, and of the country of Cyprus, 37 Having land, sold it, and brought the money, and laid it at the apostles' feet." Acts 4:36-37
Joses (Barnabas) was a Levite. He was not supposed to own land to begin with. He was supposed to serve the Congregation free of charge, and the Congregation by Jewish Law was obligated to provide his housing and daily need so he was free for his "Priestly" duties. He felt guilty for the land he owned and sold it to offer as an offering. The rest of the Church was NEVER under obligation to do the same. Ananias and Sapphira
Acts 5:1 had no reason except Pride and the Power they thought they could gain in the Church through their vain and corrupt lie of giving all. They saw Barnabas being patted on the back and cheered and they wanted that Glory for themselves, the same old sin that did Satan in. They were not rebuked for not giving all, they had no obligation to do so, they were rebuked for lying to the Church and thereby lying to God Himself.
"But Peter said, Ananias, why hath Satan filled thine heart to lie to the Holy Ghost, and to keep back part of the price of the land? 4 Whiles it remained, was it not thine own? and after it was sold, was it not in thine own power? why hast thou conceived this thing in thine heart? thou hast not lied unto men, but unto God. Acts 5:3-4
No, The Church at Jerusalem was not a commune, it was not very much different from The Congregation in the wilderness Temple, not Socialist at all, more of an extended family like our Church Fellowship dinners today. They were certainly never intended of God to wallow and fester there in commune style. God didn't let this Fellowship stagnate long. He allowed Satan to persecute the group so they could be scattered abroad as the whole Scriptural context of Acts is intended to explain. The KEY Verse vs. 1:8 of Acts clearly told the Church to spread the Gospel not start a commune. "But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth." Acts 1:8
When the Church began to get comfortable with its fried chicken fellowships and began to forget its mission to the lost, God used Satan by allowing him to persecute and break up the big congregation. Fearing for their lives the ran to hide in other communities, and took the Gospel message with them as had always been God's plan.
I chuckle to myself in exasperation every time I hear a liberal try to make God's plan for the Church a Socialist one. How foolish! Jesus as Creator was a Capitalist right from the start. Jesus Himself, plowed, sowed and planted the first garden. He gave it to the first man and his family to sharecrop, till, and tend. They brought Him their Firstfruits. Later Jesus trained the first Carpenters, Craftsmen, metal workers, the first Jewelers, even the first plumbers. It is all there in the Scriptures. The Holy Spirit gifted and trained artisans to do the elaborate tapestries, the detailed engravings and carvings to decorate the Temple. God trained man in how to plow a furrow, care for and plant seed, weave fabrics, groom sheep and cattle it is all there in Scripture. Jesus later in the New Testament paints a picture of His second coming to judge how well believers have done the work of spreading the Gospel and bringing in the sheaves of Spiritual Harvest:
And he saith unto him, Out of thine own mouth will I judge thee, thou wicked servant. Thou knewest that I was an austere man, taking up that I laid not down, and reaping that I did not sow: 23 Wherefore then gavest not thou my money into the bank, that at my coming I might have required mine own with usury? Luke 19:22-23
Funny word for a Socialist to use isn't it, usury? Jewish law did not prohibit banking or lending of money. It did say not to require interest from your Brother, but also said that it was allowed to charge a stranger. Again this all falls back to do unto others. You wouldn't expect your brother to charge you interest but you would your boss (OT Lord), a merchant, or banker. In the verse above we must remember this is a picture of Jesus Himself coming back to see what the servant (us) had done with his money. As the old song says, Jesus Paid it All, All to Him I Owe.

Obama's Cover Ups Hard to Keep Covered
What a queer coincidence that when investigators looked in to the fights out of Kenya immediately after Obama's birth, even more records were missing. Just the flight manifests for the few days immediately surrounding the birth date. Just like all the other missing records, only a day or two, a line or two, or a page or two is missing; systematically records expunged, Date stamps changed, photoshopped and forged documents substituted, cover up after lying cover up, dirty trick after dirty trick. Tricky Dicky Nixon had nothing on what the Chicago Mafia has done to cover Obama's fraudulent tracks and hide his ineligibility for the office of president. But note the trend. The evidence is the hiding, stealing, and sealing of the documents. Too many coincidences, too many times the very line needed to prove innocence or guilt is the line missing. Something smelly and dirty in the way just the right record disappears and a fake one shows up. A little too smelly, a little too fishy, too many muddy tracks to cover, huh Barry????See More

Sewing Machines and Shotguns
My wife has at last count seven sewing machines. Now Logic would say, you can't sew with but one at a time, but she has seven. Men are the same; they usually have an array of guns in the gun cabinet, and while a few gunslingers were able to use a set of twin holsters, most of us have enough trouble aiming one at a time.
Preaching the Gospel of Christ is a lot the same way. We have a big arsenal at our disposal but how many of us ever go back to the gun cabinet and pick out the right shooting iron for the job at hand. We mostly tell the poor sinner God has placed in our path, "I'll pray for you", and go right back on our merry way, never actually even sharing the Gospel.
Some sewing machines are for basic sewing. In our Christian lives we have our basic witness tools. First our daily life. "Do others see Jesus in you?", is an oft quoted question we should all look at every day in every action we undertake. Second is our personal witnessing, if we do any personal witnessing. So often we drop our needle (or bullet like Barney Fife), by asking instead, "where do you go to Church". Nothing wrong with asking that, but where is Jesus in that question? We need to flat out and confidently ask, "Have you accepted Jesus as your Personal Savior?" Thirdly we need to be praying both for others and that the Lord will providentially place sinners in our path to see and hear our witness. Paul's personal prayer was: "that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the gospel, "
Eph 6:19 (KJV)
Some sewing machines are for quilting. You take a piece of fabric from here, place it next to a piece of fabric from over there and geometrically sew them together into beautiful patterns to make one magnificent work of art. Doctrinal teaching is like that. Is doctrinal teaching in your Christian arsenal? A wise Preacher once told his congregation, "most Christians don't know what they believe and if they do, they don't know where to find it in the Bible". I was in that congregation and I prayed right then, "Lord don't let me be like that." I, that very week, began to read the Bible through from cover to cover once a year in addition to the Bible Studies at Church and on TV and Radio.
Read, Take Notes, Study reference scriptures, get a Strong's Bible Concordance and look at the original language and the root meanings of the key words, and most important pray that the Holy Spirit give you enlightenment and understanding of what you are reading. May I also recomend:
John Hagee on TV and Via the internet @GETV.org, Through the Bible with J. Vernon McGee on the Radio, and reruns of Dr. Adrian Rogers on TV and Radio. I believe these three to be the best Bible Teachers available today, when elswhere so little courage is exhibited from the pulpit.
Quilting and putting exactly the right piece in the right spot is a lot different from the Shotgut approach. Shotguns are good for the right purpose but sometimes they are used like the character Mississippi in the John Wayne movie ElDorado. Mississippi couldn't hit a cactus with a handgun so Wayne gave him a sawed-off shotgun with the largest possible shot pattern so he'd be able to hit something. He did. He hit Wayne. Evangelists are good with shotguns at revivals, but sometimes laymen wind up shooting themselves in the foot . Scriptures just thrown out for shock value seldom hit the right spot for Salvation's sake.
So whether God has called you to fix the loose board on some little ladies front porch, quilt a table runner for a gift, or to stand on a street corner with a King James Bible and witness to all comers, be sure you are prayed up, studied up, and carrying the right tools this week in your service to the Lord.

When The Supreme Court Makes a Mistake
When the Supreme Court makes mistakes, they make MONUMENTAL Mistakes. An early court did so when they took a private letter by Thomas Jefferson and made its words Law. Because of that Monumental Mistake many people today actually believe that the words "separation of Church and State" occur in the constitution. They do not and were never intended by any of our founding Fathers including Jefferson to be there. The Supreme Court was never designed by the Constitution to make Law or Designate Power, their only purpose is to rightly devine the words of the Constitution itself. Their job is to limit usurped power of the Administrative and Legislative branches.
They made another Monumental Mistake in Roe v. Wade and gave "doctors" (willing to break their Hipocratic Oath) at Abortion mills the power to MURDER babies and call it choice. Murder, the killing of a living Soul is NOT something the Constitution would ever authorize.
Chief Judas...er....Justice Roberts made a Monumental and Cowardly Mistake this past week when he dreamed up a scheme to call a Bad Unconstitutional Law a Tax and granted powers to the Legislative branch they were never entitled to under the constitution.
As a former Federal Judge, Joe Miller said this week: "The chief justice’s rescue of the individual mandate is a massive expansion of federal power, now permitting the federal government to regulate, by taxation, its citizens’ “failure to act” or passivity. I challenge you to go back to the first 150 years of U.S. jurisprudence and find any Supreme Court opinion that would suggest such a construction of Congress’s power to tax and spend under Article I, Section 8 of the Constitution."
In his powerful dissent, Justice Scalia agreed that this power grab was unconstitutional:
"What is absolutely clear, affirmed by the text of the 1789 Constitution, by the Tenth Amendment ratified in 1791, and by innumerable cases of ours in the 220 years since, is that there are structural limits upon federal power—upon what it can prescribe with respect to private conduct, and upon what it can impose upon the sovereign States."
And then the zinger:
"Whatever may be the conceptual limits upon the Commerce Clause and upon the power to tax and spend, they cannot be such as will enable the Federal Government to regulate all private conduct and to compel the States to function as administrators of federal programs."
We MUST, my friends, make sure this November 6th, we vote GOP. We need a clear Republican Majority in the House and Senate and a Republican President so when more Justices are apointed and vetted they will be Constitution Scholars, and lovers of Freedom, with no liberal predjuces against Liberty, no leanings toward Socialism and Communism. We must restore our Constitutional Republic and protect it forever more.

If You are Wondering Where Jesus Is, Here is the Scoop
With Father's Day coming up tomorrow, I got to thinking about how few days a year people go looking for Jesus. Oh, I know, they sit in a pew at church on Sunday, but are they expecting Jesus to show up? A few maybe. A few even invite His Holy Spirit inside, (but that's another subject for study).
No, most people, even Christians, go to church four or five, maybe six times a year to look for Jesus. Some go on Christmas and look for a little baby in a feed trough (manger), but He's not there any more. Some go on Resurrection Day and look in an empty tomb, and thank God He isn't there. Others go on Mother's Day or Father's Day looking for Jesus among the memories of mom and dad. As great as Mom and Dad were, they'd be the first to tell you Jesus isn't a memory. Same for Memorial Day of your Church, as great as all the former Church members were they would agree Jesus isn't in the Church. He doesn't live in a building built by human hands.
So where is Jesus? Easy. Jesus is seated on His Throne, right where He is supposed to be. He is sitting at the "right hand" of His Father, making intercession of our prayers, watching every move we make, waiting for us to say that powerful word Lord. Lord forgive me! He is instantly listening. Lord Save me! He already has. Lord help me! He is always in place and ready.
The part of the Godhead that is the Father can't look on our sin, but the walking, talking, Seated in Glory Jesus part of the Godhead, has already seen our sin from the Cross, and from that night in the Garden when he drank our sin and shame in that awful cup. He intercedes and says to The Father and The Spirit this is the one I was telling you about, one of those I died for, a great friend and brother, ain't it great to hear from him. I know the whole family down there. I can hardly wait till You tell me to go get them Father. I know it will be soon now. Very Soon!

Never Ever Ever Ever Trust the Liberal Media; & Analysis of FOX News From a Christian Perspective
As I absently-mindedly tried to work on some writing projects, through the distraction of the local Morning News this morning, I couldn't help focusing on the mindless fluff ABC, in this case, had substituted for news. Where, I thought, among all the dancing weathermen, dancing bears and dogs in dresses; where amid the recipes, juggling clowns, sign-waving vacationers, and would-be or washed-up recording artists; where was the news? Why was I watching more previews of the new prime time network schedule, when no ABC series or talk show is morally fit for human viewing anymore; just where was any trace of breaking news?
News after all is what I tuned in to hear. Which brings me to the Question: Where can one find real, straight off the old wire news, without the political spin, and without censorship, left or right?
It has become quite obvious of late, especially since the formation of the so-called Obama 'Truth' Team (who dispense anything but Truth), and the associated Media interference from Leftist Propaganda outlet Media Matters
which has long ago deleted all reference to truth from its data banks; that what we once called the Mainstream Media has been taken over by the liberal/progressive/Socialist/Communist/Chicago Mob Propaganda machine. Intimidation in all forms, mild to the harshest, threat of job security, to yes even threat of assassination, or better yet bribed with promise of advancement; hosts not even closely passing for true Journalists, mindlessly, word for word, read from the Media Matters approved daily Obama reelection tip sheet or script. Each news story carefully rewritten, and Media Matters approved, to favor the left and Obama's reelection campaign.
Who is guilty of giving in to this Media intimidation? Almost every single member of the "mainstream" networks; anchors, producers, writers, foreign corespondents, even cameramen and roving reporters. Not only Network but Local News Desks are given orders to present news stories exactly as the Media Matters Propaganda Script comes written.
Not only news but almost all new programming is deliberately and carefully skewed to influence, indoctrinate, and mind wash the hapless viewer. Most networks now require at least one homosexual be included in every show, series, or special presentation so that the innocent minds of viewers will be bombarded with images of an unnatural sinful lifestyle until their minds are calloused to the sin. Witches, Warlocks, Astrologers, Zombies, Gore, Blood and Guts, Adultery, Divorce, Bisexuality, Abortion, Promiscuity, living together before marriage, Gambling, Body Mutilation, Drunkenness, Drugs, and of course making fun of Christianity are all part of the daily Network indoctrination.
Who is guilty? Well as I said ABC brought this to my attention this morning. As far as regular programming their new prime time schedule is so disgustingly unfit for viewing I dismiss it outright. Ellen is another program
that should be monitored so children are never exposed to the homosexual indoctrination. ABC news is more subtle than some in delivery of the Media Matters Script, NBC and MSNBC not so much to the point that some call MSNBC 'Obama Campaign Headquarters'. CBS falls in line like a good little soldier. Cable Networks are also guilty. Discovery and like networks are sold out to the Leftist Environmentalists who really wouldn't know the difference in an Eastern Narrow-Mouthed Toad and a Polar Bear. The History Channel is so bent on destroying Christianity and the Bible that they have lost all creditability. Even when they include a few seconds of interview with an occasional real Bible authority they take the words so out of context as to totally skew the interview. They misquote Scripture, misrepresent accepted views of Biblical Cannon, and leave the viewer with open ended implications and a screen shot to reinforce the errant point they were trying to present. CNN hungry for viewers of any sort, is more likely to present a somewhat more balanced view so as not to exclude the left or right. This brings us to FOX.
Analysis of FOX News Network from a Christian Perspective:
Fox is indeed far more fair and balanced. Only the ignorant really argue that point. Fox always at least invites comment from the left when a news story regarding left/right issues is being discussed. Usually a panel is involved where often heated discussions develop. Indeed I, as a die hard conservative, am often irritated and disgusted by some of the far less than Conservative hosts like Geraldo Rivera.
Another issue I have with Fox, as a Christian, is their continual reliance on Catholic guest commentators for questions regarding moral issues. No offence intended (please believe me), but Catholic Priests and Bishops are rarely if ever Bible Scholars. I often think of the several times a young Catholic Nephew of mine came to me with Bible questions from the Local Catholic Father (eg. where certain subjects were referenced in the Old Testament). He would relate to the priest things I had commented on and the Priest didn't know how to go to the Scriptures and find it on his own, he would send the young man back requesting Chapter and verse. I know it is hard to get most Pastors of any denomination to speak out boldly. Only a few like John Hagee do so with any frequency, but I wish Fox would invite more like him.
My recommendation rely on Fox for the facts, watch other networks briefly to see what Media Matters and leftist commentators are plotting, and then go back to Fox for facts on how to counter the plot, Pray, and Read Your Bible. If you select what you view based on the Bible and Vote the Bible you will always be right with God and your conscience.
