Dumbing Down of America

Unfortunately, for decades, liberal-leaning modern educators have been purposely dumbing down America by downplaying this nation's history of its real, biblical foundations with a false, anti-religious curriculum.

Thankfully, we still have our original history, for those who want to examine the evidence, that refutes that false premise.

So, it's always refreshing to find good information on the internet about our nation's Christian heritage. Take, for instance, this link.

Here, in video format, you will be given overviews of the US Constitution and the Declaration of Independence, plus see how our founding fathers took their inspiration from the Holy Bible!

This is education your schools have refused to teach. Enjoy, and let's take back a nation that has lost its way.

A Muslim Meets Jesus

The following is the miraculous, first-hand account of a Muslim turning to Jesus (from About.com/Christianity)

Khalid Mansoor Soomro is from the Islamic Republic of Pakistan. He was an ardent follower of Mohammad until he decided to make a challenge to some Christian students at his school. This dramatic testimony tells how one Muslim convert came to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior.

Khalid's Challenge A Pakistani Muslim Comes Face to Face With Jesus Christ
by Khalid Mansoor Soomro

And He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature." (Mark 16:15, NKJV)

When I was 14 years old I was studying in a convent school in Pakistan. I belong to a Muslim family.

My parents had forced me to learn the Qur'an by heart when I was seven, and so I did. I had a lot of Christian fellows (or acquaintances) at school. I was surprised to see them studying because I had always found Christians to be of low profile in the society.

I discussed and argued a lot with them about the accuracy of the Qur'an and rejection of the Bible by Allah in the Holy Qur'an. I always forced them to accept Islam. Often my Christian teacher told me not to do so. He said, "God may choose you as he chose the Apostle Paulus." I asked him who Paulus was because I knew Mohammad only.

A Challenge
One day during our discussion I challenged the Christians, suggesting that we each burn the other's Holy book. They should burn the Qur'an and I should do the same with the Bible. We agreed: "The book which would burn, would be false. The book which would not burn, would have the truth. God himself would save his Word."

The Christians were not ready to do this because they were frightened. Living in an Islamic country and doing such a thing could lead them to face the law and meet its consequences. I told them I would do it by myself.

With them watching, first, I set the Qur'an on fire and it burned before our eyes. Then I attempted to do the same with the Bible. As soon as I tried, the Bible struck my chest and I fell to the ground. Smoke surrounded my body. I was burning, not physically, but from a spiritual fire. Then suddenly I saw a man with golden hair at my side. He was wrapped in light. He placed his hand on my head and said, "You are my son and from now on you will preach the gospel in your nation. Go! Your Lord is with you."

Then the vision continued and I saw a grave stone, which had been removed from the tomb. Mary Magdalene spoke to the gardener who had probably taken the body of the Lord. The gardener was Jesus himself. He kissed the hand of Mary and I woke up. I felt very strong as if someone could strike me, but I would not be hurt.

A Rejection
I went home and I told my parents what had happened, but they did not believe me. They thought the Christians had me under some kind of magic, but I told them that everything had happened before my very own eyes and that many people were watching. They still did not believe me and they turned me out of my home, refusing to accept me as their family member.

I went to a church close to my home; I told the priest there all about what had happened. I asked him to show me the Bible. He gave me the Scriptures and I read about the event I had seen in the vision with Mary Magdalene. That day, February 17, 1985, I accepted Jesus Christ as my Savior.

A Calling
My family rejected me. I went to various churches and got more knowledge about the Word of God. I also followed many Bible courses and then I went into Christian ministry. Now, after 21 years, I have had the joy of seeing many people come to the Lord and accept Jesus Christ as their Savior.

Thanks to the Lord, I am now married and have a Christian family. My wife Khalida and I are involved in the work of the Lord and have been able to share the miracles God has been doing in our lives.

Even though it is not easy and we face many hardships, we feel like Paul who went through hardships and suffering for the glory of his Savior, Jesus, who himself suffered during his walk on earth and his time on the cross.

We thank God the Father for sending his Son to this earth and giving us free, eternal life through him. Likewise, we thank God for his Spirit who encourages us day by day to live for him.

Preparing the Way for the Antichrist

It's very awkward to keep silent about problems brewing in a new administration. On the one hand, you don't want to sound impatient or disrespectful if you point out some problem. Plus, you want to give the administration the benefit of the doubt.

But, then again, I think you can report the news and let people decide for themselves about what's going on in the world -- without being disrespectful.

The above video is the O'Reilly Factor's Talking Points on President Barack Obama's visit to London for the G-20 meeting.

Unfortunately, what we can say is that the President, being an internationalist, is abdicating U.S. dominance on the world's stage to that of a supporting role among lesser nations. We are literally telling the world that they must fill the vacuum we're leaving behind. What that means biblically is that the President is helping to pave the way for the prophesied endtime beast power of Revelation.

This major power that will come upon the world's stage will come benevelently as one that can solve all the world's ills.

In the person of Barack Obama, we have a prototype of how a future antichrist can capture the world's attention, allegiance and ultimate submission. President Obama is not the antichrist. However, we can see how the Obama-phenomenon can be easily replicated in the future when a world leader arises telling everyone that he has all the answers to all the world's economic ills.

Look at the way President Obama is heralded as a hero, all the while setting up an economy that may bankrupt this country. And we are blindly letting it happen.

Serious times are upon us.
