This Preacher Gets It!

This African-American preacher, Stephen Broden of Dallas, TX, understands what is going on in this nation. He sees the encroaching Marxist-Communist-Atheist agenda being forced upon us.

He gave this interview on the Glenn Beck program. Beck, by the way, has been front and center in chronicling the excesses of this administration.

Face2Face Worship

Jennifer Givens is an up-and-coming worshiper/composer, with such a sweet, anointed voice. Here's a selection, called Let Holiness Rise Up, from her latest worship CD, FACE2FACE.

Her voice is angelic and heaven-penetrating, and LightWriter expects that you'll be hearing more and more from her as she continues on her rise. She's already preparing two or three more CDs to come out soon.

She has an ability to bring an audience right into the presence of the Lord. Her inner heart of worship properly translates outwardly into inspired original lyrics and music.

You may go to her website and listen to more tracks and even purchase her CD.

Christians to Mobilize!

I'm sure glad to see this. The Moral Majority and the Christian Coalition seemed to have had their heyday in mobilizing Christians to get involved in their world, and have now, unfortunately, fallen by the wayside. But now, Rick Joyner of Morningstar Ministries is convening tonight over God TV with 300 ministries to launch an organization aimed at mobilizing Christians to bring "profound changes to the political, financial and spiritual landscapes of the world."

It comes at a great time, lest the landscape that's presently taking shape in the U.S. becomes something so totally socialistic and irreversible.

Go Rick Joyner.

Go Christians.

Faith of Whose Fathers?

May 7th of this year, President Barack Obama refused to participate in the National Day of Prayer, which had been a staple in the Bush Administration. Oh, and I seem to recall that when President Obama gave a speech at Catholic Notre Dame University, he insisted on covering up the name of Jesus (ie, the "INS" Catholic monogram for Jesus).

However, the President found time to give every Muslim in the world a heartfelt Ramadan greeting.



Happy Ramadan everyone!

God Invades Hollywood

We've always known that God would be invading Hollywood and that some well-known celebrities would be coming out of hiding and make vocal declarations about their faith; thereby bringing in many other converts.

Hollywood is an interesting town. You can promote the most extreme new age or third world faith, and they'll make converts. Oh for the day! Oh, for the day when those that are Christian in Hollywood will have the unction to declare their faith boldly and bring in souls to God's Kingdom.

Here comedian Steve Harvey gives an inspired introduction to the King of Kings, Jesus Christ.

Canadian Socialist Health Care Program Needs Drastic Improvement

My friends, this is why we've been pressing you to tell your legislators that you don't want socialized medicine in the United States. Conveniently enough, the Canadian Medical Association is meeting this week in Saskatoon and the incoming president is stating that the "country's (socialized) health-care system is sick and doctors need to develop a plan to cure it."

The fear we've had all along here in the States is that patients would have inadequate health care -- something that the Canadian doctors are now conceding. "We all agree," says incoming President Dr. Anne Doig, "that the system is imploding, we all agree that things are more precarious than perhaps Canadians realize."

"We know that there must be change," she said. "We're all running flat out (apparently finances!), we're all just trying to stay ahead of the immediate day-to-day demands."

We heard today that President Barack Obama is retreating from the single-payer option -- that's a wealth of good news. However, we really need to make sure we don't come close to health care reform that totally stagnates our economy and stymies health care efficiency.

Need an Encouraging Word Today?

WRITE CONGRESS TO OPPOSE SOCIALIZED HEALTH CARE!

During this summer recess, your senators and congressmen need to hear from you, otherwise they will try to push socialized health care on this country -- something that will have serious social and economic consequences for years to come.

I've made it very simple for everyone. It only takes a few minutes to make a big difference in the direction the country is going. You'll be glad you did something before it's too late.

Write them a letter; you can use my letter below as a sample. Update it for your own purposes. You can add your own points, but please be respectful.

Here is a sample letter I’m sending to my Congressman, in the first district in NY:


August 11, 2009

The Honorable Timothy Bishop
3680 Route 112, Suite C
Coram, NY 11727

Dear Representative:

As a taxpayer with adequate health coverage, I oppose Congress’s attempt to push socialized health care in this country that I believe will have serious socio-economic ramifications for years to come.

First of all, we can’t afford this bill. The breadth and scope with which this administration is increasing our national debt is astonishingly unprecedented, especially when we as families have to be tightening our belts during these recessionary times.

In general, I am opposed to any health care reform that resembles socialized health care, and in particular, I am opposed to the call for a single-payer system, funding for abortions, funding for illegal aliens (thereby giving them legal status to remain here), the glaring omission from the bill of tort reform, as well as the stripping of our fundamental right to health care decisions between family and doctors and replacing them with decisions made by bureaucrats in Washington.

I pray for this country and for you, as well, and hope that you would oppose this bill towards socialized health care.

Sincerely,
Lou Comunale

Prophecy Alert: Temple Altar Construction Begins

Temple Altar Construction Begins

Shared via AddThis

Referring to the last days, Jesus prophetically urged the church to not be caught sleeping, but to “watch and pray.”

SOMETHING SIGNIFICANT happened this past week, which bypassed the radar of most news reports. But it’s a major incident in the events leading to the return of Jesus Christ.

According to the report here, the Temple Institute has begun work recently on a sacrificial altar in Mitzpe Yericho, which is an Israeli settlement on the West Bank, about 15 miles east of Jerusalem. The intention is to bring the altar to the Temple Mount, as soon as the temple is rebuilt.

There is a spiritual renaissance going on today in Israel for the rebuilding of the temple in Mount Moriah, where Solomon’s original temple was built. The above amateur video shows the laying down of the foundation for the altar, with stones from the Dead Sea and hot tar to hold them together.

The process by which the Israelis will build the temple on the site, presently supervised by Arabs, may be problematic; since the Jews are prohibited from worshiping at all on the Temple Mount and there are constant skirmishes between them.

But the desire for the rebuilding of the temple is growing, and this new development certainly speaks about the commitment of the Temple Institute to new spirituality and a return to their biblical roots.

According to their website, the Temple Institute, founded in 1987, “is a non-profit educational and religious organization located in the Jewish quarter of Jerusalem's Old City. The Institute is dedicated to every aspect of the Biblical Commandment to build the Holy Temple of G-d on Mount Moriah in Jerusalem. Our short-term goal is to rekindle the flame of the Holy Temple in the hearts of mankind through education. Our long-term goal is to do all in our limited power to bring about the building of the Holy Temple in our time.”

This ceremony, conducted on the same day the temple was destroyed almost 2,000 years ago, marks an important stepping stone toward the re-institution of animal sacrifices.

My understanding is that Israel ended animal sacrifices after 70 AD, when the temple was destroyed and Jerusalem sacked. But – for anyone watching bible prophesy unfold – there are scriptural reasons why the return of animal sacrifices and the rebuilding of the temple is significant. The book of Daniel has much to say about the end times. Daniel speaks about a 70 week prophesy, whose last week is yet to be fulfilled. The 70 weeks prophecy must be for another discussion, but suffice it to say, using the day-for-a-year prophetic principle, we understand that the last week of that prophesy will consist of seven years.

Speaking of the Antichrist, Daniel writes, “He (Antichrist) will confirm a covenant with many for one week, but in the middle of the week he will bring sacrifices and offerings to a halt” Dan 9:27 (NET1).

For 2,000 years there haven’t been animal sacrifices in Israel. This is why the Bible, in foretelling the future, is more reliable than tomorrow’s newspaper.

We can only conjecture exactly when the building will actually take place and for how long they will carry out sacrifices until the Antichrist comes on the scene and then puts a stop to it. It could be a long way off, but know this: that when Antichrist puts a stop to the sacrifices, that’s when the 3 ½ year Great Tribulation begins.

Jesus says this, when speaking of the Antichrist, “So when you see the abomination of desolation — spoken about by Daniel the prophet — standing in the holy place (let the reader understand) [that’s the temple], then those in Judea must flee to the mountains....for then there will be great suffering unlike anything that has happened from the beginning of the world until now, or ever will happen. And if those days had not been cut short, no one would be saved. But for the sake of the elect those days will be cut short.” Matt 24:15-22 (NET1)

We're not setting dates here and I’m certainly not wanting to be an alarmist, but it’s far more better to understand what’s going on in the world in the light of scripture and to "watch and pray."

All I know is one thing: that my heart’s desire is to do whatever work the Lord has given me to do in this crucial hour.

And, know this: Christ is returning soon for His own spotless, bride – the church, which, if we're born again, we're all a part of! So, let’s be alert and prepared, rededicating ourselves to the Lord; and let Him use us as His instruments on the earth! To God be the glory!

Obama's Health Scare Will Eliminate Private Insurance!

On another note, President Obama promised no taxes for middle income Americans, today two Obama officials are preparing the way for taxes (see here).

America's Christian Heritage

It's somewhat distressing to hear a president deny America's Christian heritage. It is simply so untrue! Unlike no other nation, the United States was founded by people with a strong belief in God. And this is reflected in our early documents.

It's not only a shame and disgrace, but immoral and a total travesty, that modern education attempts to discredit our nation's true history.

A modern-day hero, attempting to rewrite what has already been rewritten about our history, is David Barton. He runs the Wallbuilders website, which details America's forgotten, but accurate, Christian heritage.

He appeared on Mike Huckabee's Foxnews TV program tonight, recounting some little-known Christian aspects of America's history.
