Setting A Society Up For Failure – Pts 1 & 2

Paul — Mon, 26 Jul 2010 05:04:10 +0000

This lesson is probably misnamed somewhat. But perhaps not, as it addresses the issue of reproof and our attitude about it. Nonetheless, any society, any nation is made up of its people. Hence, its character is defined by its people. If its people will not bear reproof, will not bear correction, then there is little [...]

A Father’s Responsibility

Paul — Sun, 11 Jul 2010 21:49:58 +0000

This message addresses the issue of the LORD’S judgment how it is not contradictory for the LORD to demand that we do not put someone to death for the sins of another. Yet, in His judgment He takes entire families, cities and nations. The requirement for us is to understand why. I pray it is profitable [...]

Giving Occasion to the Enemies of God – Pt. 6

Paul — Tue, 15 Sep 2009 09:35:24 +0000

In the last five posts addressing this subject, we have dealt with the heart and mind of the LORD God toward the lost, and how Steven L. Anderson departed from that in his sermon of August 16th, 2009, in which he loudly and strongly proclaimed that he was praying for the LORD to slay Barack Obama, President of the United States of America, and send him to Hell for his advocacy and support of abortion, among other egregious things.

The LORD rebuke you, Barack Obama.

Yesterday, President Barack Obama spoke in Minneapolis, MN and decided to invoke the name of God to support his contention that we all should have government mandated and managed health insurance forced upon us. Fundamentally, I disagree, Moreover, I have major problems with him invoking God in any way to support his socialist cause. The [...]

Giving Occasion to the Enemies of God – Pt. 3

Paul — Mon, 07 Sep 2009 13:28:26 +0000

By this, the Believer is NOT first and foremost a citizen of whatsoever country they happen to reside in. Rather, the Believer is first a citizen of the Kingdom of God, and second a citizen of whatsoever country they happen to reside in. It is this way because we are expressly told that we, as born-again children of God are ambassadors to this world.

Giving Occasion to the Enemies of God – Pt. 2

Paul — Sun, 06 Sep 2009 03:43:44 +0000

Aside from the fact that calling for the LORD God to slay someone and cast them into Hell goes far beyond the bounds of being “harmless as doves,” there is the larger, more fundamental issue of the Believer’s relationship with, and to the world. Without establishing that relationship, the above admonition sits without a context to give it the full import and sense the LORD intended.

Giving Occasion to the Enemies of God – Pt. 1

Paul — Sat, 05 Sep 2009 18:59:53 +0000

This is the first in a series addressing those who profess Christ and consider themselves Americans first and foremost. The point of this series is to educate everyone (not just born-again believers) on what the Scripture actually states concerning a proper attitude toward authority and toward those around us, both the froward and the good. [...]

Unfortunately, the last several days have been consumed with assisting with a Writ of Certiorari to the U.S. Supreme Court. I say that it is unfortunate, because it should not be required to put forth to the highest court in the land that the following words mean exactly what they state: A well regulated Militia, being [...]

Dangerous Thinking

Paul — Mon, 27 Oct 2008 18:07:22 +0000

On a final note: we should understand that, historically, the top down approach to changing society has never worked. Without going into detail, there is no instance in the history of man where any society has ever been permanently changed by imposition of massive, intrusive government control over individual behavior. Rather, every government that has attempted such action, has found itself consigned to destruction — usually within a generation or so of attempting to impose such change.

Twisted to Fit: Pt. V

Paul — Mon, 14 Jul 2008 15:19:00 +0000

Sadly, I can only conclude that Laurence Vance is either entirely ignorant of the truth of Scripture (all the while touting his Theology degree and Christian credentials), or he is using Christianity as a cover for his real agenda, which has nothing to do with actual Christianity, and everything to do with promoting an ideology incompatible with the foundations of the United States.
