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.
Gospel of Matthew Notes & Outlines
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?

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.
