Freedom

May 28, 2016

Memorial Day weekend should be a time when we remember the men and women who fought and died to give us the freedom we enjoy in the USA. There are many who read this who do not have the freedom of religion, speech, the press, peaceful assembly and the right to address grievances to the government.

The United States of America is a wonderful place to live but it does not come without the sacrifices of our military men and women, both past and present, who give their lives to give us our freedom. Most of all remember that in Christ all are free through His great sacrifice on the cross.

Many will spend this weekend out at the beach, picnics, amusement parks and various other activities  without a thought for why they have this long weekend to enjoy whatever they choose to do. 

So stop! For just a few minutes to pray and thank the Lord for freedom and the fallen heroes, and pray for those who are still serving in the military today. Then enjoy the rest of this weekend with thankful hearts.

John 8:36 If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.

Tool or Toy

July 6, 2015

“Are you a tool for God or a toy for Satan?”

This a quote from one of the Benham brothers on Dr. Charles Stanley’s TV program IN TOUCH. The Benham brothers have a powerful Christhian testimony. They stand against abortion and gay marriage and it cost them a great contract with HGTV. Their program was about flipping houses and helping families that could not afford to own a house have the ability to purchase a home.

HGTV cancelled the contract after pressure from the liberals. The brothers acted with a CHRISTIAN attitude and thanked HGTV for the opportunity and did not get angry or retaliate in any way.

Then they learned that the financial  institution which finances all their real estate business was going to pull all the loans and contracts ruining their successful real estate business. Once again the brothers reacted in a Godly way. They would not change their CHRISTIAN beliefs for fame or money. “It’s in God’s hands” was their remarks. 

After much pressure from the conservative Christians who do business with the bank that handles all the real estate deals, the bank changed and decided to continue financing the Benham brothers business.

Thank the Lord for young men who will stand up for what they believe. 

This story shows how far our country has come in taking away our rights as CHRISTIANS. If we value our freedom given to American citizens by the Constitution we must stand up for our rights. 

Enough people contacted that bank and the decision was reversed. We must stand and do what needs to be done in a Christlike manner and then allow God to bring the Victory.

Ephesians 6:7 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.

Success

July 3, 2015

Many activities take place over the 4th of July Celebrations in the USA. Freedom from oppression is what our forefathers fought and died for. 

Pray for America. Those same freedoms are being taken away little by little from the citizens. However we still have the right to witness at events and are Praising the Lord for 10 decisions to follow Christ at “Country, Country” Event in Alabama. Thank you all the volunteers who made this event successful in reaching souls for Christ.

Joshua 1:8 This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.

There are people today who are working to change or do away with The Constitution of the United States of America. We the people must fight to guard our freedoms that are slipping away.
Especially CHRISTIANS need to stand together to protect the freedom that our forefathers and brave men and women have fought for.
Our country was founded on Christian principles. Let us work to keep it that way.

Galatians 5:1
Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.

Ronal Reagan Quote on Christmas

December 19, 2014

“Christmas can be celebrated in the schoolroom with pine trees, tinsel and reindeers, but there can be no mention of the man whose birthday is being celebrated. One wonders how a teacher would answer if a student would ask why it was called Christmas.”
Ronald Reagan
Most children in the USA will be having “holiday” parties in school today, as the school will close for Christmas break. What a tragedy that we have come so far in our country that the true meaning of Christmas cannot be taught or mentioned in our public schools.
Our country was founded on Christian principles. Freedom OF religion not freedom FROM religion.
Our greeting should be Merry Christmas, not Happy Holidays. Let us continue to keep Christ in Christmas.

Luke 1:14
And thou shalt have joy and gladness; and many shall rejoice at his birth.

Ronald Reagan Quote

November 17, 2014

“Today let us take heart from the noble example of our first President. Let us pause from our many activities to give thanks to almighty God for our bountiful harvests and abundant freedoms. Let us call upon Him for continued guidance and assistance in all our endeavors.”
President Ronald Reagan, Oct. 13, 1986 Thanksgiving Day, 1986

2 Corinthians 9:11
Being enriched in every thing to all bountifulness, which causeth through us thanksgiving to God.

Welcome to Church

Be thankful that in the USA we have the freedom to attend the church of our choice. If you are able attend church with your family today!
Pray for your Pastor that he will stay true to God’s Word and that souls will be saved and broken hearts will be mended.

Hebrews 10:25
Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another:and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.

Do Something, Vote

November 4, 2014

Today is Election Day in the USA. You can do something to exercise your rights as a citizen of our country. VOTE. Many people, even those who may read this do not have the freedom we in America have. Our forefathers fought for our freedom and came to America FOR religious freedom. (Not from religion)
Give thanks to God and do something, vote. Think about what God has given to us and be thankful we still have the privilege to go to the polls and voice our opinion through our vote. One vote can make the difference.

Colossians 3:17
And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.

Freedom to Vote

November 3, 2014

If you are a citizen of the USA, you have something wonderful to be thankful for, FREEDOM. Tomorrow is Election Day. It is your duty and privilege to vote for the candidate that you feel will do the best job of running the government.
Also, in several states there are important amendments that could change your way of life. Today do some research and tomorrow get out and vote.
Our freedom was and is not free. “The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing.” Do something. VOTE!

Liberty

June 10, 2014

“They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.”
― Benjamin Franklin, Memoirs of the life & writings of Benjamin Franklin
In America we are giving up our liberties everyday and as a nation we are becoming weaker. We as citizens must stand for our rights as granted by our forefathers in the Constitution. God should be honored in public events, graduations, sporting events, etc. America was a strong Godly nation until one woman decided that prayer should be taken out of the schools. It is not “politically correct” to mention God anymore. We need to wake up and stand up for our freedom and liberty and it begins by giving God the honor He deserves.

2 Corinthians 3:17
Now the Lord is that Spirit:and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.
