by OneVike I am always amazed how liberals always seem to deny that which they support. Often times they will go so far as to state that the organizations they support only care about the good of society. Take the NEA and what they support for instance. I have heard liberals claim that the NEA only uses their member union dues to support education initiative drives across the nation, and that the dues are not used to support federal legislation in Washington.

Habakkuk
Then & Now
As I was reading Habakkuk during my morning quiet time, I was given some insight I have not considered before. The phrase, ”The more things change, the more they stay the same,'' came to my mind. Jeremiah and Habakkuk were contemporaries living in Judaea just before and during the time when Babylon took them away. While Jeremiah taught that wickedness in God's own people has doomed them, Habakkuk preached about the corruption that had infested the government of their day. His opening verse gives us all we need to know about how evil the government of the Southern tribe of Judah had become.

Man Scale
Ken Graves, the senior pastor of Calvary Chapel Bangor ME, offers up his opinion of the, "Man Scale". Ken's scale has men like Mr Rogers on one end, and men like to Mr T on the other end. His advice to all men is to get on the man scale and be a man. So, are you some place between Mr Rogers and Mr T? If not, then you better look to God through Christ to find out where you are lacking, because God wants all men to be men.

Ruth
Notes & Outlines
Please join me in my new study in the book of Ruth.
Ruth is a poignant story of faithless disobedience, that leads to death, sorrow, bitterness, and then loyalty and finally redemption. It's my prayer that you will realize that if an inconspicuous Moabite peasant woman could achieve royalty for her descendants in Israel, then anyone can gain Salvation.
A Train Ride
From My Past
Have you ever wondered how people get from point A to point B? I don't mean in a physical mileage way, but rather an emotional, phycological, and spiritual way. We all take in our surroundings and make decisions based upon the way we see things happening, and the way we feel. Then we get to a certain point in our life when we take an inventory of how we are doing. Sometimes we're relatively satisfied, other times we're disappointed, but do we ever really reflect upon the decisions we made that ultimately got us to point B?

Losing the Climate Debate? That's Ok, Just Change History
Americans Need To Take A Lesson From Fire Ants Building a Raft To Survive Flood (Cool Video)
Bird Swarm Over Sacramento California
These following two paragraphs are from an article at "The Independent", and it is about the phenomenon called a murmuration;
Winter must must be coming... because the starlings are flocking. Here are many thousands of the birds wheeling together in the afternoon sky near Gretna Green yesterday, as they prepare to roost together for the night.Special thanks to Dinah Lord of Freerepublic for the link to the story on murmuration.
A starling flock like this is called a murmuration, a word that perfectly describes the rustle of thousands of pairs of wings. Starling murmurations are one of the most dazzling displays in the natural world, as the flock changes shape, one minute like a colossal wisp of smoke, the next a tornado, the next a thundercloud blocking the light.
The huge gatherings, biggest in winter, are boosted by thousands of birds that come to Britain's milder Atlantic climate to escape the harsh cold of the European continent, especially in Scandinavia. There are several reasons to get together in the way they do – safety in numbers, information exchange (if some come back from a good feeding area others may learn of it) and warmth at night through roosting together. The birds may feed up to 20 miles from their winter roost but return each evening.
The Hapless Redskins & Their Attempt at a Fake Field Goal
With the New York Giants leading the Washington Redskins 24-0 in the first half, the Redskins were able to drive the ball a bit on a great play by Santana Moss. With the second ticking down on the first half, the Redskins set up for a field goal that would at least put them on the board before halftime. Coming out to the field was the kicking team, and in an audible at the line, the play-caller (in this case the punter) shifted the line to the left side of the field. When I say left side of the field, I mean the center, a lineman and the kicker were the only ones left around the punter near the center of the field. In order to prepare for the play, the New York Giants simply called time-out on defense.
Instead of kicking the field goal after the time out was over, they again changed their offensive line set up and still tried the trick play. Well, enjoy the video and see for yourself what a fool the redskin coaching staff must truly feel like.

Airhead Reporter Does Unsafe Gun Safety Report
After watching this video, all I could think about is all the gun laws we have. In reality only gun law we need in America is one that bans reporters from ever coming near one. Momma, don't let your kids grow up to be airhead reporters, or they they just might find themselves on the short list for a Darwin Award some day.

Could Eruptions Like This One, Raise Ocean Temperatures?
The scientists say they found a type of lava they have never seen erupting from an active volcano before. They also witnessed molten lava flowing across the deep-ocean seafloor for the first time ever. That is what the missions Chief Scientist, Joseph Resing, told reporters when he held a news conference explaining their findings. In 2004 the NOAA and it's partners discovered a much shallower eruption in an area called the Mariana Arc, but they knew that the deeper they went and the closer they got to the eruptions, that they would see the kind of eruptions that formed most of the oceanic crust.
What you will see in the video is a spectacular sequence that is close enough to the eruption that you can actually see violent magma degassing and producing bright flashes of hot magma. The Lava gets blown up into the water and then settles back to the sea floor, while the large plugs of lava flow rapidly down the slope. In the foreground you can see the front of the remotely-operated vehicle (ROV) with sampling hoses. To give you the right perspective of what you are watching, the area in view is about 6-10 feet across in an eruptive area approximately 100 yards that runs along the summit.
Two things I need to know. First question is, we know that 71% of the earths surface is water and we know more about the planet Mars than we do about the ocean floor, is it possible that any warming of the oceans surface temperature is caused by the thousands of underwater volcanoes like the one in the video? And my second question is, when will we as a group quit standing around waiting for the modern day Nazi's to throw us into their concentration camps of poverty and misery, and take them these clowns down for good?
Finding so much movement in a bland area of the ocean was surprising. "It's like finding Old Faithful in Illinois," said Stein. "When we went out to try to get a feel for how much heat was coming from the ocean floor and how much sea water might be moving through it, we found that there was much more heat than we expected at the outcrops."
Then from an this at WorldNetDaily.com that was published in Dec 2008 about Scientists finding greenhouse gas hysteria to be myth. It seems that a study by Gilbert Compo and Prashant Sardeshmukh of the University of Colorado and NOAA, and presented in the scientific journal Climate Dynamics, maintains that all of the greenhouse gases dumped into the atmosphere by humans over the last 46 years haven't affected land temperatures at all."The rise in land temperatures, the study states, can be tied directly to increased heat and humidity coming from warmer oceans, which in turn, the study admits, may be caused solely by natural forces.
"But if rising land temperatures are caused by rising ocean temperatures, what's causing the earth's seas to heat up? Although admitting that it could be man-made, the study said that it could also be due to increased sun activity, underwater volcanoes or simply the earth's regular patterns.
"Although not a focus of this study," write Compo and Sardeshmukh, "the degree to which the oceans themselves have recently warmed due to increased GHG, other anthropogenic, natural solar and volcanic forcings, or internal multi-decadal climate variations is a matter of active investigation."
So from what I understand, we cannot rule out the theory that natural causes from oceanic volcanos can be at leat partly to blame for any warming of the ocean temperateness. Which by the way we are told is a key indicator of global warming along with the rise in CO2.
Finally, the last time I checked, we cannot get close to the amount of carbon dioxide these volcanoes on the ocean floor are putting out. Anyone who wants to tell me that we know mankind is responsible for Global Warming, I can only guess they are looking to control the masses for their own greed of money and power. Well, I for one will not willingly board the train to misery and poverty these Nazi's have prepared for us. The way I see it, there will come a day when civil disobedience will be our only option, and from my vantage point it seems we are getting closer and closer to that moment every day.

A Christian's Worldview: Nine Reasons Santa Must Be A Conservative Capitalist
by Chuck Ness
Sometime ago I wrote a commentary I titled, "Was Jesus A Socialist?", As I wrote in the article it is my understanding of the Scriptures, and of God's many rules and regulations to the Israelites, that Jesus was a capitalist. Thus I believe if He were walking among us and actually voting in our elections today, He would most certainly be a conservative capitalist. Now we find ourselves at the doorstep of Christmas and unfortunately more children have probably heard of Santa than have heard of Jesus. So in the spirit of the season, and just so I can be fair and equitable with my political opinions, I have decided to share what I think of Santa's political persuasion.
My regular Sunday messege will be presented on Christmas morning this week, so today I have decided to have a little fun. Oh I realize it is not a Christian message so much as it is a political statement I am making here, so I ask those who may be offended by this to accept it in the spirit it is offered. I also do not want anyone to think that I am putting a beloved character on the same level as God, I am not, and please do not misconstrue the meaning of this article. I offer it as a simple and fun explanation of how I see liberals and what I think of Santa's politics.
I will begin by saying that if Santa were a real person and a politically minded individual he would be a conservative. How can I be so sure of such a bold statement you may wonder? Well, I will list nine reasons for my belief. But before I offer my list, I would like to point out that when finished you will inevitably ask yourself the same question I have asked in the past. Why would any Socialist like Santa, and why would they ever tell their children to like him?
Now some of this list has been seen by many in portions elsewhere. What I did was add my own thoughts and mixed them all up so that it is what I think.
So here are nine reasons I think Santa must be a conservative Capitalist.
1.) Santa waits till everyones asleep and no ones around, to see him do his good deeds. If Santa were a Socialist, he would do his work in broad daylight where everyone could see and he would also call reporters and hold a press conference.
2.) Santa gives toys and candy out using his own money and hard work. Socialist would pass a law that would call for redistribution of wealth from others. Then they would again hold a press conference to tell the parents how they have made the children's Christmas better by forcing evil wealthy individuals to share the wealth.
3.) If Santa were a Socialist, he wouldn't fly around on a cold drafty sleigh that was pulled by an endangered animal like the reindeer. The Socialist would be flying around the world in a Boeing 747 paid for by the taxpayers of the world. Oh yeah, they would also have a huge "Save the Reindeer" sticker on the side of the plane for everyone to see.
4.) When you go to the mall and see Santa there, what is he doing? He is asks the boys and girls what they want for Christmas, then he shuts up and listens as he remembers every detail of what the child wants. Liberals never listen. They just talk, talk, talk and talk some more as they tell you what they are going to do for you, regardless of whether you want it or not.
5.) Santa hires elves. Fact is, you will never see a Liberal Democrat actually hire a physically disadvantaged individual, unless it was a token employ for the media to see. Liberals only use the disadvantaged for speeches and photo ops.
6.) Santa believes in right and wrong, he checks his list twice to see who has been naughty and nice. If a child has been bad, well that child will be getting a lump of coal. As far as Socialists are concerned, the very idea that there is a right and a wrong is antiquated and evil. If Santa were a Socialist, he would actually give the best toys to the baddest child because after all it really is not his fault and we do not want any child to be stigmatized. That is why liberals insist on either making pregnant teenage girls valedictorians, or they have no valedictorians at all. Remember, to a liberal right and wrong, good and bad, are all relative.
7.) Santa gives to others from a sacrificial, giving heart without expecting or demanding anything in return because he truly loves others. Socialists on the other hand believe everyone is entitled to something, but not because they love them, it is because they want something in return.
8.) Santa shows up to work regardless of what the weather is like. He is not afraid of long hours or having to work on holidays with no extra pay. Santa never goes on strike, demanding that we the people give him more than he already has.
Finally, the last reason I believe Santa would be a conservative capitalist, is because when the working conditions get tough like foggy nights or heavy snow storms, instead of delaying his promise of delivering his gifts until the weather improves, he uses good old American capitalist ingenuity to come up with a technical solution to the problem. One time he found out that he could use an outcast reindeer, named Rudolph who had a shiny nose, to help shine the light and deliver his presents to all the boys and girls of the world on time.Yup, Santa kept right on trucking without missing a step, and without demanding that the government get involved to do that which he promised he would always do.
So as you can plainly see Santa is a conservative capitalist not a Socialist.

Jack Webb Scolds Obama
If I could give Obama an earful of what it means to be a good American, I think I might be inclined to say what Jack Webb said in a Dragnet episode. Well this was emailed to me by a friend who edited Obama into the video and edited out the Hippies Jack was speaking to. It works for me, and it hits the mark with a perfect bulls eye.

Which Jesus Do You Follow
by Chuck Ness
Christians need to realize that being a true Christian does not mean you are to be proud and boastful. It does not mean that you will be blessed with money and riches as the prosperity pimps like T.D. Jakes, Kenneth Hagin, Joyce Meyer, Paul Crouch Paula White, Joel Osteen, Beth Moore and others preach.Tuesday, November 10, 2009
No Evolution in 58 Million Years
by Chuck Ness
Well it seems like those who continue to cling to the few remaining threads of hope that Darwin was right, have another problem with Darwin's theory of evolution. From the evidence accumulated by the University of Florida there seems to be the exact same families of plants around today as there was 58 million years ago. That is the what the evidence points to from a press release from the university that stated, “Plant fossils give first real picture of earliest Neotropical rain forests,”
With the evidence uncovered from the Columbian Forests we can now say for certain that the Young Earth Creationists, like myself are not grabbing at straws of faith. It is getting pretty scary for the evolutionist minded scientists who are at the mercy of such groups like the Institute for Creation Research who are celebrating this find as confirming not just a the young earth model but also the global flood mentioned in Genesis.

Obama Worship in Schools Continue (Youtube removed videos in 2115)
As expected, the left is continuing its indoctrination of the children in public schools across America. What has become almost a weekly revelation, we hear of school after school teaching the children to sing songs of praise and worship to Obama. This is reminiscent of how the old Soviet Union used to raise its children to worship the leaders of the state.
I have said before and I will continue to say it time and time again, these incidents of Obama worship by the children has been orchestrated from the very beginning. One, two, maybe three incidents of school children singing songs of praise and worship for Obama is a coincident. However we are way beyond experiencing something that is coincidental.

If you are the Democrat party of New Jersey and it looks like you may lose the Governor's office to a 500 pound fat guy (Jon Corzine's words, not mine), what do you do? After all, even the "Great One", Obama himself, could not seem to turn the tide that was ready to hit them from the Republican Party and it's candidate, Christie. Well, I have documented story after story about the intimidation tactics used by the left in this country, but what the Democrats did in this election has even left some liberals scratching their heads.

Tim McGraw & Brad Paisley, Are Officially Off My Christmas List
It is high time Brad Paisley and Tim McGraw were taken to task for their support of Barrack Husein Obama. I first must admit that I have been a fan of Brad and Tim for a long time. I love the way they put to tune and words of how it is to be a man is in the world. After all, how can you not enjoy listening to the way Brad strings together the words in his song titled, “I'm Still A guy”, or how he seems to lay his heart out in the tune titled, “I'm Gonna Miss Her (The Fishing Song)”? Then there are the songs by Tim McGraw that just makes me want to hold my wife closely as I sing along with him the words I could never think of on my own.
From the first time I heard Brad Paisley sing the song, “Who needs Pictures” in early 1999, I was a fan of his. And what man can honestly say he did not choke up a bit when he listened to the way Tim sang the beautiful ballad, “Don't Take The Girl'? These are the kinds of songs that have been missing in the American music industry. Songs that speak to our hearts, because we feel exactly like they sing them to us on the radio. For too long the American culture has gone down the trail of anger and hate in the music that has been presented to us. So Country Music has for many become what the music was in the “70”s, beautiful and relevant to our lives and hearts.

Right-wing vs Left-wing Women of Politics
Looking at the way women in politics dress and carry themselves can really explain a lot about the person they are, and what they think about the way others should live their lives. Ian Robinson of the Calgary Sun has nailed it pretty good, and I would like to share what he had to write about today's right-wing women versus the left-wing women of today's Western societies;
The recent election of Danielle Smith as leader of the Wildrose Alliance reminded me that among the many things I love about the libertarian/right wing are the women.
Could be our slogan: Come for the culture war ... stay for the chicks.
Right-wing women rock.
Not for us the sturdy, honest calves of the New Democrat/Green Party female, honed on eco-tourist rain forest hikes. Those legs are often on unfortunate display, extending from a knee-length tweed skirt as hairy as the legs themselves, and end in a pair of Birkenstocks. I have yet to see a pair of Birkenstock women's shoes that didn't look like part of the required uniform for police SWAT teams. Sensible shoes are one thing ... quite another to don a pair that look like they're meant for rappelling down the sides of buildings with a Heckler & Koch sniper rifle slung over your shoulder. The primary reason our womenfolk are at war with the looming specter of the nanny state is because you can't buy Jimmy Choos in a socialist paradise.

Looking Forward
By Chuck Ness
I am taking some time off to help my wife recuperate from neck surgery and I will be back next week. However, I would like to share something that I read from the book , “Where Is God When It Hurts“. It made human suffering on this planet a bit easier to understand and made me more aware of the need to share in the suffering of others.
The book is about how Christians in the Body Of Christ need to share and carry each others pain and suffering. The author, Philip Yancey, explains in the last chapter what Christianity uniquely offers to those in pain. He quotes a doctor named Paul Brand who said of the human body:
“Individual cells had to give up their autonomy and learn to suffer with one another before effective multicellular organisms could be produced and survive.“

Teaching Children to Worship Obama
by One Vike
In their ongoing movement to turn Obama into a god that children should look up to and in my opinion worship, the is another incredible pro-Obama video. This one was produced by his good friend Oprah Winfrey's and her Harpo Productions. In this video you will see sundry self-important Hollywood narcissists pledging their fealty to Barack Obama. A slew of shallow celebrities, including Demi Moore, Ashton Kutcher, Eva Mendez, Cameron Diaz, and P Diddy, tell viewers: "I pledge to reduce my use of plastic ... to sell my obnoxious car and buy a hybrid ... to be more green ... to turn the lights off ... to flush only after a deuce, never a single ... to go to USAService.org ... to be of service to Barack Obama ... to be the change ... to be a servant to our president."
This "serve Obama" propaganda video also has been shown to captive school audiences.
In our 24/7 pop culture of celebrity idolatry, Barack Obama is constantly presented to young people as the epitome of cool, hip, smart, sexy; and he is all but worshiped by Hollywood demigods whom our youth are taught to idolize. This engenders a mindset that is conducive to tyrants and fatal to freedom, limited government and our constitutional safeguards. The charges of Fidel Castro and his like-minded comrades in the Big Media punditocracy notwithstanding, parents are not "racist" or "insane" for suspecting that President Obama and/or his fanatical followers would exploit his speech to the schools to further his Big Government political agenda.
You can read the whole article titled, Are Schools Teaching Children to Serve Obama? at the New American web site.

Indoctrinating Our Children, Goal #41 of the Communist Takeover Document of 1963
By now many of you have seen this video of children praising Obama. It was posted to YouTube just two days before Obama's speech to students, which makes me wonder if it was part of some school’s festivities for the screening. This video justifies the fears many parents have that their kids are being politically indoctrinated by the school system. It is not the first video we have seen where school children have been used to praise Obama by Teachers.

Wacky and Outdated Laws
by Chuck Ness
Local and state laws are ever changing and it is almost impossible to keep up with tens of thousands of new laws placed in the books by both our glorious leaders and ballot initiatives across this once great country. In California alone the State lawmakers passed 772 new laws that took effect in January of 2009. This after passing 750 new laws that took effect in January of 2008. So in a two year period the State of California has added 1522 new laws that we must abide by, and only God only knows how many city and county laws were passed in that two year period.

Still Waiting for a Logical Defense of Socialism
By Chuck Ness (Written in response to letter to editor of Enterprise record)
I would like to offer my opinion of what Mark has claimed to be true, and of the evidence he has offered to back his claims up. Mark wants us to believe that the President’s former Green Czar Van Jones, was misunderstood and maligned by those of us he calls racist and hateful. However, I have yet to see Mark or any other liberal comment on the most important fact of them all. That is, that the very programs the liberals have championed and put in place for the past 50 years are more responsible for the things they complain about than anything the right or capitalist could conceive of doing. Jack, Tina, Bruce Sessions, myself and others have posted article after article proving that 90% of all the current problems in the world are caused by the leftists and the agendas they claim will change the world from a cruel heartless planet into a Utopian world.
I have yet to read a logical defense for why liberal politicians, like Obama and his friends, continue to push policies that have been proven to fail. Fact is, the very groups they purport to help always seem to be the ones who get hurt the most. In almost every incident that the left brings up involving the destruction of the planet, minorities or women, the cause can be directly traced to liberal politicians, not conservative ones. Who do you think runs Houston, Los Angeles, New York, etc. etc. etc? It is liberals who run these cities so if you want to point the finger of blame point it at liberal politicians, both black and white.

Sarah, She's Got It
In the last forty years, I have watched as the media in America has gone from leaning towards the left in the '60”s, to slowly moving in with the left and actually jumping in bed with them. They are now to the point that they have lost any semblance of objectivity. If a leading liberal politician, or political pundit, desires to besmirch the character of a conservative politician or even an average citizen such as Joe the plumber, all the liberal needs to do is call up his or her favorite media hack.
Within a 24 hour period every news organization in the country will be repeating the verbal assault upon the person of their wrath. Never mind the fact that the story they are repeating is false, the story line will be how the conservative or innocent bystander must answer the charge and attempt to defend themselves. In the eyes of public opinion it is a lose lose situation for the the individual who has been attacked. All the while the liberal who began the lie is never to be heard from again, or defended as a great American by the media.

Ted Kennedy's True Legacy
by Chuck Ness
Ted Kennedy was a singular figure in American history. Very few if any, over such a long period, have done more to harm America. But Obama is committed to trying.
“Socialism hasn’t worked in 6,000 years of recorded history because it didn’t have me to run it.” Ted Kennedy
And despite all his efforts to the contrary, it never worked in America either. Even with him as the Jackal of the Senate trying his best to implement it. May God have mercy on his soul...but we are better as a nation with him permanently out of that position of power and influence. The best epitaph for this leftist, socialists, corrupt old man would be for a conservative or at the least a moderate, to be elected to fill his seat by the people of Mass.

No health care bill before Christmas?
Looks like one of the biggest supporters of nationalized health care believes there will be no health care bill before the end of the year, and perhaps not at all. That is what he told his constituents at a crowded town hall meeting at the Mercer Community Center in Iron County Wisconsin last week. The crowd was packed with people manly focused on the health care issue, but there were also many who were worried about the out of control deficit spending that congress and Obama are hoisting upon their children and grandchildren.
"Nobody is going to bring a bill before Christmas, and maybe not even then, if this ever happens, because the divisions are so deep. I never seen anything like that."After he made that statement, the packed meeting erupted into a loud continuous applause. Then when asked about the plight of uninsured Americans, by a supporter of Obama's health care proposal, the Senator told the crowd that congress is headed in the direction of doing absolutely nothing, but he added that he thought that was unfortunate. U.S. Sen. Russ Feingold also declared that he would not support a health reform bill until he has actually seen one written. He also promised the crowd that before he made his decision he would come back and seek out the opinions of the voters he represents.
"When I get a proposal I can look at it and decide whether I will support it, I will let the people of the entire state talk to me."

Scotty Beam Me Up!
It seems like some men around the world think that getting a sexually transmitted disease is a badge of honor not shame. It truly is sad that we do not shame those who participate in activities that can lead to a lifetime of pain and suffering for some. But like the days of Sodom and Gomorrah, evil is considered good, and good is considered evil. Just as Paul warned Timothy about when he wrote,
But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God. 2Timothy 2:1-4

7th Church Is Laodicea: The Lukewarm Church (part 8)
by Chuck Ness
Founded around 255 BC and named after his wife Laodice by the Seleucid King Antiochus II, this city was located about 100 miles directly east of the first church mentioned by Christ, "Ephesus". Situated on one of the great Asian trade routs, Laodicea become prosperous because of its garment industry which used a black wool that had a soft texture like silk and could be found only in the Lycus Valley. However, it was also known for a medical school that grew out if its temple worship of the Phrygian god Men Karou, located 13 miles west of Laodicea.
Its most famous medicines were ointments made from spice; "nard" for the ears and an eye salve made from alum called "Phrygian powder". This eye salve was actually a powder made by crushing Phrygian stones and forming it into tablets. Believed to be a cure for weak eyes this medication was sold throughout the Asian and the Mediterranean lands. All of these aspects of its economy led Laodicea to becoming a leading banking center. Due to the frequent earthquakes in the area, their financial success in banking meant they did not need to depend upon any aid from Rome to rebuild. Laodicea was thus a kind of Bank of America, Wal-Mart and Mayo Clinic all rolled into one.

Known as the “City of Brotherly love”, this earthquake prone city was the home of this faithful church. Founded by the Pergamon King Attalos II, for his brother Eumenes, this city often changed its name during various times of its history, depending upon what ruler the inhabitants wanted to honor. The name Philadelphia was a reflection of the love and commitment that Attalus II showed to his elder brother Eumenes who ruled throughout Lydia before him. Thus, the “City of Brotherly Love”.

5th Church Is Sardis; The Dead Church (part 6)
by Chuck Ness
In my ongoing series on the book of Revelation, I now move on down the postal route to the next church in Christ's message to the seven churches of Asia, Sardis.
The fifth church mentioned in John's message was probably the oldest settlement in Asia Minor. Archeological evidence shows that Sardis was probably first inhabited shortly after the confusion of languages and the subsequent dispersion of the people (Gen 11:5-7).

4th Church Is Thyatira; The Corrupt Church (part 5)
Of the seven churches addressed by John, the fourth church, Thyatira, is the smallest. Yet it received the longest message. (Rev 2:18-29) This corrupt church was located 42 miles inland from the Aegean Sea in an alluvial plain between the Hermus and Calcius rivers . There were no natural geographical formations like steep mountains or deep rivers to provide it with a good base from which to defend its position. Its sole purpose was to act as the first line of defense in front of a hostile advancing army and to hinder their movement while the kingdom's main forces were mustered deeper behind the battlefront.
The history of thyatira consists of being controlled by the leading powers of the time, whether it was Alexander’s Greece, the Pergamon Kingdom, Antiochene empire, or the Roman Empire. Because it was so easily overrun, for most of it's history it remained a relatively small city compared to that of Ephesus and Pergamum. However, after Rome introduced Pax Romana, it settled into becoming a fairly peacefull city that boasted more trade guilds than in any other Asian city of its time.

“Do not fear any of those things which you are about to suffer. Indeed, the devil is about to throw some of you into prison, that you may be tested, and you will have tribulation ten days. Be faithful until death, and I will give you the crown of life."

The Seven Churches Of Revelations (part 1)
But I have received everything in full and have an abundance; I am amply supplied, having received from Epaphroditus what you have sent, a fragrant aroma, an acceptable sacrifice, well-pleasing to God. (Phil 4:18)

Accusing the Opponents of Doing What You Do
By Chuck Ness
I am sick and tired of people who say that if you debate and you disagree with this administration somehow you're not patriotic. We should stand up and say we are Americans and we have a right to debate and disagree with any administration." (Hillary Clinton)
In this picture you see hired protesters reading a script. They have been hired by Obama's supporters and are being trained on what to say.
Well it seems as though the only ones being accused of not being patriotic are those who disagree with Hillary's boss, Obama. What they accuse normal Americans of is what they are themselves guilty of, because several DNC front groups are placing thousands of ads in 100's of cities across this country. All while calling any citizen who disagrees with this current administration as being "un-American." I have personally found 100's of ads on Craigs List in different America cities whether they be medium to large metropolitan cities. Check out the links here from Craigs list and I want you to remember what Lenin said almost 100 years ago. "Always accuse your victim of what you yourself are doing." That's right long before Saul Alinsky was giving lessons on how to destroy a society, Vladimir Ilyich Lenin was doing it.

California - Controlled by Idiots
Small California businesses that have received $682 million in IOUs from the state say they have been told by the state that they must still pay taxes on the sales. However, the state of California has informed the business community that it will not accept those IOU's from the businesses as payment for sales taxes. The millions of vendors that do business with the state so it can continue to function have filed a class action suit, claiming the state is trying to balance its budget upon their backs.
One of the plaintiffs, a business that supplies embroidered polo shirts to a youth camp run by the National Guard, says she is owed $27,000. Nancy Baird's company fulfilled its contract with the state and she now says the state paid her with an IOU that two banks have refused to accept. Like Nancy, many other small business owners count on the income they receive from the state to stay afloat, and have been used as suckers by the state. These small entrepreneurs are claiming in a class action lawsuit that they are being forced to pay taxes without being reimbursed by the state that bankrolls its operations while avoiding financial obligations to others.
One Good Patriot
An e-mail I received about my article:
"Where Are Today's Patriots Who Are Willing To Sacrifice Everything?"
Hi Chuck Ness, there are many patriots who will be there when the time is right. I count myself among them. I wrote the reply below shortly after you posted your article and plea. I toyed with the idea of posting it over the last several days, but I did not. Today I decided simply to send it to you privately in case you are interested. I did not hesitate to post it out of fear so much as a need to "keep my powder dry" and "hold your fire until you see the whites of their eyes." Timing is everything, as a hand tipped too soon will lose.
This is especially apparent since Obama has committed a major error, in that he has attempted to take away our free and fair elections before he took away our weapons. Bad timing!
I will therefore wait to publicly tip my hand, and therefore make myself a target, at least until it will do the most good. However, I wanted to send this to you anyway. You may do with it what you will, even post it if you think it might inspire people, but I do ask that you hold my identity in confidence. I also ask that you relax, as we will be there by the millions when the time is right if we are needed. Great post, and great thread Chuck.

Sarah's Choice
It seems that the biggest response I see from questions about the GOP is who will lead. It's quite understandable when you consider that the GOP has not had a real leader since Newt Gingrich. Oh yea we all rallied behind GW, but other than the war on terrorism, he would not lead. Even in his defense of the war he was more willing to get along with the opposition than to defeat them. Well, here we are in mid summer 2009, and we are still wondering who will lead us.
Sad when you consider that the way Obama and his allies in the MSM are attempting to roll over the American people as if we were no more than bums in the street. I kept asking my self, where is the republican voice? Who will stand up with us, the people, and demand that evil be called evil? Who will dare step on the toes of the anointed one and tell him he is naked? Where is the the voice of reason from the the GOP? Well here she is ladies and gentleman, I give you Sarah Palin, the Bear from Alaska, a Kodiak, or if you would, a tiger that the Democrats cannot tame. Yes a woman who has more gonads then the whole Republican leadership combined.
