Liberty

Freedom to suffer the consequences of one's actions.

That's what I want. That's why I've joined Ron Paul's Campaign for Liberty And I still plan on writing him in when I vote in November.

Why not Obama?

Again, it's been the Baylys who have brought the clarity of God's Revelation to my attention. This article is from one of their readers: "Destruction of Bodies AND Souls"

An excerpt:
"Barack Obama is a figure of carefully crafted modesty. Whether in his nuanced, nebulous "positions," or in his studied, opaque demeanor, Obama's power has been his ability to promise radical change in a cloak of moderation and modesty. And despite the fact that his positions on abortion are actually worse (God forbid) than Clinton's, he has managed to convince Christians (I know many) of his moderation, or at least his overall acceptability. I mean, even if one disagrees with him on abortion, it's not the only issue, right? What about poverty, illiteracy, spiritual insensitivity, education, disenfranchisement, immigration?

Ah, yes, yes. How often I remember Scripture's warnings about the dangers of illegal immigration! How keenly I recall the prophets thundering against illiteracy! How vociferously do the apostles denounce habitat destruction! And how could we forget Paul's enviable sensitivity to the religious traditions of the Athenians?"

Do you support Death?

I've been wondering if all issues boil down to life and death. Certainly some do. As a Christian, I must oppose death - even as I embrace my own. "This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers." or "If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me. For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for me will save it." That is why I must speak, in spite of my fear of man, against any that promote death.

Biblical Preaching



about 26 min: "Your best friend is the one who tells you the most truth." In America we have become so thin-skinned that no one can rebuke us; no one can tell us we are wrong... We don't want to offend... One of the greatest distinguishing marks of a false prophet is that he will always tell you what you want to hear.

about 54 min: "The only thing that's going to save the church in America - there's only two possibilities: One is a total reformation in our preaching and our study of the Word of God. And the other is fierce, horrifying persecution."
