Newt is Worried And So Am I

After hearing the Obama acceptance speech and reading some comments from bloggers around the country I can't help but feel that if he gets in, we will be in grave danger. We will literally be giving our freedoms away. I read one post last night where some liberal (blind Obama supporter) wrote that he agreed with Maxine Waters when she said, while grilling the president of Shell Oil, John Hofmeister;

"And guess what this liberal would be all about; this liberal will be about socializing … uh, um..., "Would be about, basically, taking over, and the government running all of your companies. …"

Do you get what she's saying here??? She wants our inept and corrupt govt. to run American businesses!! And then you have Pelosi, Obama and other democrats running around trying to drum up support for the fairness doctrine. This will effectively squelch freedom of speech for anyone who has an opposing viewpoint to theirs. This will end most of talk radio - Rush, Hannity, et al.

It is just amazing to me how there can be so many mindless people on the left who are just willing to give up all their rights and freedoms to the government. Take a look at the video below and see what Newt has to say about America today. He is right on the money.




Just in case you think our security will be ok if Obama becomes president, check out what he plans to do with our military and nuclear weapons development if elected.



I'm telling you folks, pray hard that God will have mercy on our nation and prevent Obama from becoming president, or the life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness as we know it may be over.

God bless

The Gospel of John - Part 19

Conclusion

And here in part 19 we have the conclusion to the film The Gospel of John. What a great depiction of this great Gospel. I hope this film was a blessing to you and moved your heart.

If you are not a Christian, my prayer for you is that you would think very deeply on the teachings you witnessed here in this film. It is very important that you realize you're a sinner in the eyes of the Lord and you do need the Savior. If you should go to sleep tonight and have a heart attack, are you sure you know what would happen?? If you don't have Christ, you won't have life but eternal death and punishment.

Jesus said it Himself, "Truly, Truly I say to you, unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God."

So how does one become born again? First and foremost you must realize that you are a sinner and have offended God by breaking His commandments. You then need to repent of all your sins - This means to turn completely 180 degrees in the opposite direction, and ask Jesus to forgive you. You need to move off of the throne of your heart and allow Jesus to take His rightful place there and you need to live your life for Christ. Is this easy? No not at all, especially in our culture today. However, the rewards are eternal!!

If you need to review this film a couple more times, by all means do so. You may also want to get a copy of God's Word, the Bible and follow along. The translations I recommend are the ESV, NASB, NKJV and KJV. Then pray for God to reveal Himself to you in this film so that you too may become born again into His kingdom.

God bless you all.

The Gospel of John - Part 17

THE CRUCIFIXION

Without a doubt, the greatest crime ever committed by man. But praise Jesus for allowing Himself to go through this for the sake of His elect.

The Gospel of John - Part 16

Part 16 begins in Chapter 18 with the arrest of Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane. From there He is brought before Annas who was the father-in-law of Caiaphas the High Priest. We also see Jesus' prophecy of Peter's denial come true.

Jesus is next brought before Pilate and Jesus makes one of His famous statements in verse 36, "My kingdom is not of this world. If my kingdom were of this world, my servants would have been fighting, that I might not be delivered over to the Jews."

Chapter 19

Pilate then has Jesus flogged and the soldiers ridicule Him and put a crown of thorns on His head. Here we also see Pilate giving the crowd a choice to set one prisoner free. The crowd screams for Barabbas who was a murderer. Then they yell for Jesus to be crucified.

God bless

The Gospel of John - Part 15

Part 15 runs from John 16:16 - 18:7. It opens with Jesus telling His disciples that He will only be with them a little longer; that He is going to the Father. Jesus explains further that He has come from the Father and tells them in verse 33, "In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world."

Chapter 17

Part 15 then moves into John 17, known as the High Priestly Prayer of Jesus. This is one of the great doctrinal chapters in all of Scripture. There is a vast amount of Reformed Doctrine in this prayer where we learn that Jesus did not come to save every person in the world but only those the Father chose out of the world.

Praying for His disciples, Jesus says in verse 9, "I am praying for them. I am not praying for the world but for those whom you have given me, for they are yours." And again in verse 20 Jesus prays, "I do not ask for these only, but also for those who will believe in me through their word..."

Chapter 18

Part 15 concludes with Jesus and His disciples in the Garden of Gethsemane and Judas bringing the Roman guards to arrest Him. And so begins the greatest crime in all of history.

God bless

The Gospel of John - Part 14

Part 14 encompasses all of chapter 14, all of chapter 15 and the beginning of chapter 16. There is a lot of theology in this section. Jesus has much to say about Himself and the Helper He is sending - the Holy Spirit.

Chapter 14

This chapter starts off with Jesus telling the disciples that He is the only way to heaven. This one statement alone is what makes Christianity so exclusive. It is why the world, with its self righteous doctrine of tolerance, hates Christians and calls us narrow minded. In verse 6 Jesus says, "I am the Way, the Truth and the Life. No one comes to the Father except through me."

Unfortunately many in the church today feel that since we are in the new covenant we don't have to worry about God's laws anymore. But Jesus disagrees as he says in verse 15, "If you love me , you will keep my commandments." So we are to keep His commandments, not to gain salvation, but if we are saved and truly love the Lord our desire should be to obey His word.

Chapter 15

In this very important chapter, Jesus makes another of His "I AM" statements. Here, in verse 5 He says, "I am the Vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing."

Then in verse 12, Jesus reiterates His great commandment, for us to love one another.
We also see a bit of the doctrine of election here in verses 18-20 when Jesus tells His disciples, "If the world hates you, know that it has hated me before it hated you. If you were of the world, the world would love you as its own; but because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you. Remember the word that I said to you; 'A servant is not greater than his master.' If they persecuted me, they will also persecute you. If they kept my word, they will also keep yours."

Truly some great teaching from our Lord in this portion of Scripture.

Enjoy

He goes on to tell them that they will be persecuted saying
