I realized recently, by way of the Holy Spirit, that writing about politics is a waste of time. Therefore, unless I am led otherwise, I no longer plan to write anything related to politics. Instead, I want to make this blog a place of refuge for the downtrodden and hopeless. I want to talk about the Bible and the incredible story found there. A story that is true and happenning as I write.
At our church we are currently studying the "types of Christ in the Old Testament" on Sunday mornings and the book of Revelation on Wednesday nights. I have taught the types of Christ before yet I am amazed once again how much of the O.T. shadows Jesus Christ. A type is a foreshadowing of something. So types of Christ are shadows, signposts, arrows, etc. in the O.T. that point to the Messiah. It is important to remember that salvation in any dispensation of human history comes by way of Jesus Christ. In the O.T. the beliver looked forward to Messiah who would one day come to provide salvation to any and all who believe. So also in the c/a (the one we are in now) believers look back to the sacrifice of Jesus Christ (O.T. Messiah) and the salvation which He won. From the days of Adam salvation has always been by faith alone in Christ alone.
The Lord made me realize that there is plenty of talk on the internet about politics and all things worldly but not nearly enough about what really matters, that being, a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. It is much better for me to teach Bible doctrine on this blog instead of spouting about socialism and all that other stuff.
I think sometime in the next day or two I will begin with the Angelic conflict and go forward from there. My goal is to teach in such a way that it will seem more like reading a story as opposed to point by point. After all, God's story is one that is most awesome and interesting indeed. The Great and Holy God of creation, the King of the universe creates a race of beings known as angels. These angels have the ability to choose good or bad. All is wll until one chooses to put himself on a pedastal and become like God. Well, that is the beginning of the angelic conflict.
If you are interested visit again sometime.

Hello O'bama, Goodbye America (if he wins)
For all you Obama supporters out there, you wanted change; you got it. I hope you all enjoy your life of servitude to the "glorious leader". He will lead you to the socialist utopia you all desire. At last, you can enjoy government healthcare, government retirement, government jobs, and higher taxes. Oh, and dont worry about America fighting on foreign shores anymore. Our new leader will "dialogue" with our enemies and invite them to sing Kumbaya around the campfire. And if anyone attacks us, he will try to discover the reasons why, make changes, and appease them.
And the best part is, you get to "cleanse" the masses who dont follow the glorious leader. Thats right, you get to participate and be a good citizen in getting rid of those who oppose the government. Your day has finally come....All those crazy Bible believing Christians will finally be dealt with. All those darn idiots who are preaching that Christ is the only way to Heaven. All those loony capitalists who believe in earning money and actually making more than someone else (the audacity), they will finally be sucked into the great socialist machine that America will beocme. And lets not forget your kids: They will become members of the "O'bama youth" and grow up learning and practiceing good socialist behavior. Karl Marx would be so proud of them..
Wow..what a life. How wonderful "change" is..
I wish this post was not true but I believe that it is. I honestly believe that within 4 years, the landscape that was the U.S.A. will be changed forever. The last Capatilist society on earth will have disappeared. But to end on a good note:
Never forget that Jesus Christ controls history. Nothing, absolutely nothing happens without His permission. Daniel 2.21 states, "It is He who changes the times and the epochs; He removes kings and establishes kings; He gives knowledge to men of understanding". Accordingly, we must never forget that absolutely everything that happens on this planet is a part of His Sovereign will. I LOVE IT....... If O'bama wins so be it. God is still in control.

Who?
I guess here, on this blog I can speak my mind. I am sick to death of politics and political posturing. I can tell you that I do not support the democratic candidate for president; not becasue I am a republican but because the democratic party has become the Socialist party of America. I support FREEDOM above any form of Government. The Democratic ticket wants to take your freedom and mine away from us. They want me and those like me to shut-up and go away. They have NO CONCEPT of what freedom looks like and, in fact, want nothing to do with it. It's the same old story and it makes me sick.
By definition, Socialism is:
so·cial·ism
Pronunciation:
\ˈsō-shə-ˌli-zəm\
Function:
noun
Date:
1837
1: any of various economic and political theories advocating collective or governmental ownership and administration of the means of production and distribution of goods2 a: a system of society or group living in which there is no private property b: a system or condition of society in which the means of production are owned and controlled by the state3: a stage of society in Marxist theory transitional between capitalism and communism and distinguished by unequal distribution of goods and pay according to work done (Merriam-Webster on line dictionary).
Listen to the rhetoric of the democratic candidate. He sounds like a spokesman for Carl Marx. They want bigger government, re-distribution of wealth, and no private property; (unless of course the property in question is owned by them). Socialized health care, socialized retirement and socialized property are classic hall-marks of Karl Marx and his best disciple Vladimir Lenin. Look at the "communist manifesto" paying special attention to "the 10 planks" near the bottom of the link. Looks familiar, yes?? Pay close attention to the third part of the definition above: "a stage of society in Marxist theory transitional between capitalism and communism and distinguished by unequal distribution of goods and pay according to work done" Apparently, the Democratic candidate desires to continue the direction away from capitalism and toward communism by way of the machine of socialism. But then I have to remember that most people under the age of 30 have never even heard of socialism, communism or capitalism and therefore can not relate to anything that I am saying. I am just another one of the politically incorrect warmongering bigots that does not see the need for "change". Change that is as defined by the socialist/democrats.
This country most definitely needs change, but that change will only occur from within by the life changing presence of Jesus Christ. But then that is also an unpopular name as well. Politics and Religion. The two dirtiest words in the world.
It is now March 16th, 2012. The Obama presidency has managed to make major strides toward a socialist state. The healthcare law he passed was a huge step toward a socialist society. Now he wants to tax the rich and re-distribute the wealth to the "poor" of our country. I could go on and on about the changes that have taken place since he took office. But all one has to do is watch the news and his agenda will become clear. The election in November is in my opinion the most important election in the history of this nation. More important than the elections of Washington or Lincoln. If Obama wins again in November the nation will slide into socialism on greased rails.
Trust me when I say that the healthcare law is just the beginning. The freedoms that we enjoy in this country will be taken away one by one. And we will once again become slaves to some master.

A tribute to Police Officers.
One of the greatest professions on this planet is the Police Officer. Only those who are in the profession, retired from it, or married to someone in it can appreciate what a Police Officer does. I have spent the last 17 yrs. of my life in law enforcement so I know that of which I speak. Police officers have a multi-facted job. They give new meaning to the term "multi-tasking". He or she is expected to be a mediator, counselor, consoler, writer, speaker, fighter, and a shooter (among many other things) at any given moment. He or she has to decide in a split second which course of action will eliminate the threat, without hurting himself or anyone else in the periphery.
Police work truly is like a box of chocolates; on any given call you never know what you are going to get. Any call can go from simple to life threatening in a moment's time. He or she must always be ready for anything and everything all the time. A traffic stop can turn into a gunfight, a dispute can become a fight for your life, I could go on and on..
But I write this as a tribute to all the men and women in this country who are police officers. We have a brotherhood/sisterhood that is almost mystical. Perhaps it is because we put our lives on the line everyday for the public and our fellow officers. We do and see things that no one else has seen or done. You are special, never forget that.
It has truly been one of the greatest honors of my life working in Jacksonville Florida as a Police Officer. I will never forget the people I worked with and the supervisors I worked for. I was blessed to always have professional caring people around me all the time.
Zone 5, watch 4, gold squad. The E.T. unit. Zone 3, watch 6, blue squad. Zone 3, watch 2 and 3, gold squad. You guys and gals are the best. Stay safe always.
I will always remember and pray for all of you, not just those I worked with but everyone who straps on a gunbelt everyday to serve and protect.
I can tell you for a fact that my congregation will always remember the men and women of law enforcement; for, every Sunday, when we meet I will be thinking of you. And I will lift you up before the Father in the name of the Son by the power of the Spirit; asking Him to watch over you, protect you and lead you to a personal relationship with His Son, Jesus Christ.
Remember, the greatest warrior in history is Jesus Christ. The term "Lord of Hosts" in the Old Testament literally means, "Lord of the angelic armies". He is the one who we all serve, whether we believe it or not, He is..
Romans 13.4 says this, "For he (the police officer) is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil (criminals), be afraid; for he (the police officer) beareth not the sword (deadly force) in vain: for he is a minister of God (God ordained our profession), a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil"
You gotta love that...........
As I move on in my life to other things, remember that you are loved and missed.
