Something Beautiful

Susan Smith said...: Dear Christine:

Thank you for posting an uplifting and encouraging message for this Sunday morning before worship of the One in whom we live and move and have our being (see ACT 17:28).

I love you my little sister on the West coast. Have a wonderful day. You are something beautiful in my life. (ss); October 7, 2007 at 4:08:00 AM PDT

I love that portion of Scripture. Paul's words of wisdom when he preached to those who had an altar built with the inscription "TO THE UNKNOWN GOD" are riveting.

Paul spoke with superior words and some of his listeners wanted to hear more. Yet, others mocked him when he shared the truth about the resurrection of the dead.

My latest post discusses the two destinations where each person will end up when this brief life is over. There will be those who believe and those who choose not to. For those who believe, it's something beautiful.

But to those who choose not to believe, unfortunately, it's considered foolishness to them so they end up separated from God forever.

This is why God has sent His Son. Because of faith (either in Christ or faith in other 'gods,' 'self,' or 'things'), our individual destinies will ultimately be fixed in one of two places in eternity.

Everybody's worshiping something in this life. You and I have chosen to worship Jesus. We love Him because we know that He first loved us!

Knowing Jesus Christ is knowing the One in whom we live and move and have our being. What a great and marvelous truth! How great is our God!

Hope your day was wonderful, too. Your kind encouragement here adds much beauty to my days!

Love you,

The Manhattan Declaration: A Call of Christian Conscience

Christians, when they have lived up to the highest ideals of their faith, have defended the weak and vulnerable and worked tirelessly to protect and strengthen vital institutions of civil society, beginning with the family.

We are Orthodox, Catholic, and evangelical Christians who have united at this hour to reaffirm fundamental truths about justice and the common good, and to call upon our fellow citizens, believers and non-believers alike, to join us in defending them. These truths are:

1. the sanctity of human life
2. the dignity of marriage as the conjugal union of husband and wife
3. the rights of conscience and religious liberty.

Inasmuch as these truths are foundational to human dignity and the well-being of society, they are inviolable and non-negotiable. Because they are increasingly under assault from powerful forces in our culture, we are compelled today to speak out forcefully in their defense, and to commit ourselves to honoring them fully no matter what pressures are brought upon us and our institutions to abandon or compromise them. We make this commitment not as partisans of any political group but as followers of Jesus Christ, the crucified and risen Lord, who is the Way, the Truth, and the Life.

Go to Manhattan Declaration.org to sign the declaration!

Ronald Reagan Quote

“Are you willing to spend time studying the issues, making yourself aware, and then conveying that information to family and friends? Will you resist the temptation to get a government handout for your community? Realize that the doctor’s fight against socialized medicine is your fight. We can’t socialize the doctors without socializing the patients.

Recognize that government invasion of public power is eventually an assault upon your own business. If some among you fear taking a stand because you are afraid of reprisals from customers, clients, or even government, recognize that you are just feeding the crocodile hoping he’ll eat you last.” - Ronald Reagan

THE RELEVANT OBAMA ADMISSION

At Barack Obama’s web site, the following admission:

“FactCheck.org Clarifies Barack’s Citizenship

‘When Barack Obama Jr. was born on Aug. 4,1961, in Honolulu, Kenya was a British colony, still part of the United Kingdom’s dwindling empire. As a Kenyan native, Barack Obama Sr. was a British subject whose citizenship status was governed by The British Nationality Act of 1948. That same act governed the status of Obama Sr.‘s children…’ “

Read that last line again.

“That same act governed the status of Obama Sr.‘s children…”

That’s an admission that Great Britain “governed the status” of Barack Obama, Jr. He has chosen to highlight this on his own volition.

And this leads to the relevant question:

HOW CAN A NATURAL BORN CITIZEN’S STATUS BE “GOVERNED” BY GREAT BRITAIN?

A natural born citizen’s status should only be governed by the United States.

We The People

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security

Read Dr. Jeremiah's "What In The World Is Going On?"

This book gives us ten prophetic clues that you cannot afford to ignore.
"In this book, I want to help you find the truth about what is going
on. I want to show you that while our age is certainly fractionated," it need not be scary - not for Christians who trust the Lord and know how to read the signs and understand coming events. [Y]ou will recognize the clues that God has given us to find peace in "our terrifying age." [B]ut mostly, I hope this book will help to "Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid" (John 14:27)."

-David Jeremiah
