If our Father God is to continue to "bless" America, He will first have to apologize to Sodom and Gomorrah! The truth is whatever blessings we may perceive in present day America are only the residual effects of His original blessings on a once godly nation. Just because attempts by godless liberals to change our history books so as to eliminate the truths surrounding the founding of America have succeeded, there are many still living who remember what we were taught. America was founded on Christian principles! As long as Jesus Christ is honored as God and Savior, America will be His protected and favored nation. Since the number of those who believe this truth in steadily diminishing, you can look for the same effect on God's blessings toward this land. When God's Word is no longer our standard, God is no longer our God. He is either Lord of all, or not Lord at all! As a nation we will always respect other religions, but it must be understood always that God will bless the nation whose God is the Lord Jesus! The only hope for America will be found in a return to God as King and Lord. Any other path leads to destruction.less

Vacation Bible School is first and foremost a chance to "school" children in the truths of the "Bible" during their "Vacation" from school. It is a time for Christian children to go deeper during a concentrated week of study. Of course, fun and fellowship times occur due to the nature of a Christian collective gathering. Many churches have now vacated that original intent and made VBS a time for child evangelism. Unfortunately the lost parents and children both are "on to" what the churches in their neighborhoods are offering. For many it is nothing more than an opportunity to dump the kids off for several weeks at competing churchs' programs while the parents enjoy some free daycare. Some kids go to three or more VBS programs during a summer. My point is, churches should not forsake the intentiional discipleship of their own emerging children to enter the competitive market of "who can have the most secular type of VBS". Let's keep our eyes on Jesus-style of VBS and not the Hollywood-hype version. It's not thast we can't compete...it is that we should not compete!less

There comes a time when Christians must judge the fruit of people who call themselves Christians, but whose lifestyles are contrary to the statutes of God. We can not judge the fruit if we are producing the same fruit! "By their fruits you will know them."

There comes a time when Christians must judge the fruit of people who call themselves Christians, but whose lifestyles are contrary to the statutes of God. We can not judge the fruit if we are producing the same fruit! "By their fruits you will know them." There also comes a time when the true believers must withhold fellowship from those who claim to be believers but who blatantly defile the Scriptures by their ungodly interpretations. I didn't say this, God did! WHen a denomination hides behind a word like "humility" when it should be exercising Biblical disciplining of errant members, you know they have retreated too far from the truth to ever realize their fall. If God's church won't discipline errant members, those in error will imagine that they are doing God's will. THAT is blasphemy! If you love homosexuals, tell them of the wrath to come should they not change their sinful ways!!! Warn them in love! You are not doing them a service by insinuating that they are doing God's will. For their sake, withdraw from them if they will not confess their sin and repent (turn from it).less

The printing of this article is very timely! The Lord Jesus is reappearing very soon. When He does, all of the 'dead in Christ' and those who are true believers in Him will join Him in the air and forever be with Him. THose who have rejected the message of salvation will remain on earth to face seven years of extreme tribulation after which Jesus and His church will return to reign on earth for a thousand years. Those who are able to live through the seven years of tribulation will have a chance to see Jesus and His church during the millennial reign. Only then will anyone else have an opportunity to accept Him as Savior and Lord. During the tribulation period that will follow tha rapture, no Gentiles will be saved because of the absence of the Holy Spirit who will depart with the believers at the rapture. Even if someone received an email message after the rapture, they will not believe in Jesus! The notion that millions of people will be raptured only comes from those who believe that anyone who calls himself a Christian is a Christian. Actually the number of true believers is very small. Those are the words of Jesus, not my own! Believers must begin now to share the Gospel with as many people as they can!less

In a study of 80 civilizations, the single determining factor that led to their downfall was their society's acceptance of homosexuality and other sexual immorality.

The people who are the most adamant in their rejection of the return, thousand-year reign, and new heaven-new earth promises in Scripture are those who are lost and therefore will never be prepared for such senarios. OF COURSE lost people reject the coming judgment! They would be insane to look forward to a time when they will be excluded from eternal life in heaven for their vitriolic attacks on the messengers of light and truth. They believe that all prophecy has already been fulfilled. They believe that we ARE NOW living in the glorious new "Church Age" that will only continue to get better! DUH! THey also believe that the CHURCH is now ruling the world as a sort of Christ-in-proxy. The one who said that Jesus and His disciples all said that He would return during their lifetimes is ignorant of the fact that Jesus hasn't returned 2000 years later. In fact, that person has limited the Lord Jesus by not believing that Jesus is God and does not have to conform to human understanding of times and epochs! DOUBLE-DUH! Jesus will reappear to rapture His church out of the world as soon as His Gospel has reached every people group on earth. The times of the Gentiles will then end. After the rapture, a time of world rule by the Antichrist will go on for 42 months. At that point the Antichrist will announce that he is God! The Jews will revolt and gain the persecution of the whole world. The antichrist will hound the Jews for another 42 months ending with an all-out assault on the nation of Israel by a multi-national coalittion. Jesus will return with His church in time to rescue Israel, defeat the antichrist and Satan, and begin a thousand year reign on earth.less

If I was a cowboy, and a not-so-very-known cowboy was on the ballot for President of the U.S., should I vote for him just because we are both cowboys? It might be an exciting campaign ride for a while, but sooner or later most of us cowboys would realize that a brief ride into the history books might generate nothing more that a lot of future bad publicity for a lot of good cowboys for a long spell. Frankly, no true cowboy would ever place his name on that ballot unless he was completely qualified for the job...but then again, cowboys are known for their level-headedness. They also don't enjoy the limelight, especially if they might end up either looking silly or causing a big commotion. You've gottta respect them for that! No, cowboys just mind their herds and do what they are most qualified to do. Most of all, cowboys stick to familiar trails where they are pretty sure they can handle what's just around the bend. They would never presume to know what's best for anyone but themselves. I guess that's why most folks like cowboys.less

Look at his voting record, his time in public office, his significant associates, and his national background. Doesn't anyone realize that the president gets to hand-pick federal judges and ambassadors. Also key cabinet members! Do you realize how much trouble this man could create and for how long a period into the future this man could cripple our natioin? THINK before you get on the bandwagon and ride the crest of a tide of popular opinion generated and sustained by a completely leftist liberal media! Some of the most significant men in his background are America-haters and caucasion haters. A vote for Obama is a vote for the downfall of this and many other nations around the world! It's time to wIpe the the star-shine out of your eyes and THINK about our future in the hands of a man created by the hyper-liberal-rmedia and promoted by some of the wealthiest socialists in America. Please get off of your favorite party bias and look at the truth. The position of the most powerful man in the world needs to be held by one of the most politically experienced, military savvy, America-loving MAN in the world.less

"Blessed is the nation whose god is the Lord." As long as that describes America, the Lord will claim us as His own. When we turn from obeying His commands, judgment will come. A vote for B. Hussein Obama is a vote for swift judgment on America. May God have mercy on those who vote against His statutes and Commandments.

Paul also related that when believers commit sinful acts, they are literally forcing the Holy Spirit to take part in their sinful acts. Do the Presbyterians believe that the Holy Spirit is not grieved by being involved in a homosexual act? Do Presbyterians even believe that the Holy Spirit is who the Bible says He is? Homosexual activity is no worse than other sinful acts. They all are against the Holy Spirit when committed by believers. If their sinful activities constitute their lifestyle, they are perpetual sinners and therefore NOT filled with the Holy Spirit!!! Does everyone understand?less

Christians are "Little Christs." They are in the process of continually growing in Christlikeness.

Christians are "Little Christs." They are in the process of continually growing in Christlikeness. Paul said, "We do not know what we will be like (in heaven), but we know that when He (Jesus) comes, we shall be like Him." When we see a group of people who claim to be Chrisrlike acting in opposition to the commands of Jesus, we can "judge" them by their actions and their fruit as being anti-Christian. Those who are conforming to the ways of the world instead of being transformed by the Word of God (Jesus) are acting apart from the leadership of the Holy Spirit. As believers we are not even to have a meal (fellowship) with them. For me it is interesting that some Presbyterians have a problem with ordaining homosexuals but have no problem labelling God as the greatest mass-murderer of all (double predestinatiion)!less

brethics, are you sure reformers are Amillennialists? if so, they agree with the following: Amillennialism is a belief largely characterized by the supposition that the literal return of the Messiah and the 1000 year reign is not true. There is instead a "messianic age" with the rule of the church body politic, or in more extreme cases, no millennial reign of Jesus Christ at all. Amillennialism lends itself to a diminishing of the Judaic birthright as firstborn of the chosen of God. There are inherent and implicit replacement doctrines as the church "replaces" Israel, and in essence “replaces” even Jesus himself on earth, becoming a self-ordained Christ-in-Proxy. Because the Church in this view sets itself in the stead of both Jesus and the Jewish nation, this position leads to the denigration of both. Christ becomes of time and history (or ethereally out in a heavenly realm) and therefore is no longer greatly involved with earthly happenings. The Jewish nation becomes a nation which God has dispossessed because of their rejection of the Church's messiah and therefore their lack of inclusion in such, as well as their lack of recognition of the Church's birthright. In other words the Church in utter Amillennialism does not look forward to a literal return of Christ, but rather brings in a "church age" making proxy decisions for the Messiah. Instead of a millennium of the reign of Christ on earth, there becomes a "Messianic age" with a church and its figureheads as ushering in a utopian age, reinterpreting scripture in terms of church-initiated doctrine and dogma. This is the millennial perspective of most Calvinists and reformed theologians. By the way, many theologians at the very top of the Calvinist totem pole are avowed Preterists who believe that all Bible prophesy has been fulfilled.less

The classic dispensational stance of reformed theologians (Calvanists) is Post-Millennial. The damning effect of this heretical view is that it places the completion of all Biblical prophesy at A.D. 70. Post -Mil people believe that everything that appears in the apocalyptic teachings of Jesus, Paul, Peter, and John occurred in the first Century. Post-Mil people do not believe in the rapture of the church, the great tribulation, nor the second coming of Jesus to establish His thousand year reign on earth. Instead, they believe that with the dispersal of the Jews after the destruction of the temple in A.D. 70 marked the end of Israel as God's chosen people. THey espouse that the Christian Church has taken the plase of Israel as God's chosen vessel. More specifically, they believe that the Jews are no longer part of God's plan of salvation. They believe that Jesus has already returned - not personally, but in the form of the church as a type of Christ-in-proxy. They believe that the church is now ruling the earth during this current time called "the Church Age." They beliieve that during this church age, Satan and his demons have been chained. This is why you will rarely, if ever, hear a reformed preacher teach about (or even mention) Satanic influence. Instead, they believe that people are totally depraved (and without the influence of the evil one!). John Piper, Al Mohler, and most if not all of the other members of the Sovereign Grace Ministries are Calvinists. They believe that God created all but a very few members of mankind without the ability to even choose to accept His grace. In other words. God created the vast majority of mankind strictly for the purpose of burning alive in hell forever. They will burn, not because they rejected Jesus, but because God created them without the ability to ever accept Jesus. When questioned about their horrible accusation against God, they simply say that, as horrible as it sounds, they do not question God's sovereignty. I recommend that anyone who wants to know the truth about the religious leaders that you revere, just check their credentials. It's very easy. They will not deny anything I have written about them. Therefore, it is not slander, labelling, or mean-spirited...it is simply the truth.less

Sound doctrine can be easily found in the teachings of Jesus, Paul, John, and Peter. Teachings that come into conflict with the teachings of these must be considered heresy. Teachings that do not point to Jesus as God are heretical. Teachings that point to ANY other way to a relationship with God than through Jesus are heretical. Teachings that reject the truth that Jesus died for the sins of every person are heretical. Teachings that promote God as the mass murderer who created most humans for the purpose of burning them forever in hell are heretical!
