it's a black and white business

Darkness is not to be seen; it is the absence of light. Darkness can not be created, only experienced when light is removed. In the same manner, evil is the absence of God. When God is removed, evil is manifested and experienced.

Without God, every man is left to do as he pleases; rob, steal, lie, murder, pillage, plunder, every sort of evil to anyone and everyone. How can anyone with a heart see that as a good thing?

the christian haters are right! or left, or ?

Dang!

All those left wing, christian hating, conservative bashing, tea-party ridiculing, Republican maligning  progressives are right!  We ARE a bunch of gun crazed loonies!  It MUST be true; it's in FOX news!

Michigan Militia Group Preparing for Antichrist, Web Site Says

Oh, wait.  I didn't read it with on open mind.  There's more to the story than just the headline!

""It started out as a Christian thing," said Donna Stone, 44. "You go to church. You pray. You take care of your family. I think David started to take it a little too far. He dragged a lot of people with him.""

So it was an individual who got carried away with himself and convinced others to follow him into un-Christian, non-Biblical action!

Oh! So, like all the abortion clinic bombers, racial epithet slingers and  homosexual taunters, not all Christians, conservatives or even Republicans act this way!

Whew!  For a minute there I thought I was gonna have to give up my guns, family, Bible and faith!

Fair and balanced?

Media Misrepresents Tea Party Movement

"Back in 2008, anti-GOP protestors at the party’s convention in Minneapolis hurled bricks at store windows and dropped sand bags off of highway overpasses. Former Gov. Sarah Palin has been the target of Tweet threats. More recently, bricks crashed through the GOP headquarters near Charlottesville, Va., and shots were fired through the window of Virginia GOP Rep. Eric Cantor’s office. A Philadelphia man was arrested March 29 on charges he threatened to kill the GOP minority whip.

Did any of the above transform into a running theme the media teased for all it was worth?"

Nope.

prophecy being fulfilled or just coincidental?

"And it was given to him to give breath to the image of the beast, so that the image of the beast would even speak and cause as many as do not worship the image of the beast to be killed.   And he causes all, the small and the great, and the rich and the poor, and the free men and the slaves, to be given a mark on their right hand or on their forehead, and he provides that no one will be able to buy or to sell, except the one who has the mark, either the name of the beast or the number of his name."  ~ Revelations 13:15-17 NAS

"Then another angel, a third one, followed them, saying with a loud voice, "If anyone worships the beast and his image, and receives a mark on his forehead or on his hand,  he also will drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is mixed in full strength in the cup of His anger; and he will be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb.  "And the smoke of their torment goes up forever and ever; they have no rest day and night, those who worship the beast and his image, and whoever receives the mark of his name."" ~ Revelations 14:9-11

meet me in the middle

Will all name calling, label casting, hate mongering liberals please move far to my left? Thanks. Now, will all name calling, label pasting, hate mongering conservatives move far to my right? Thanks. Now, if thoise of you who believe in truth, justice and the Constitutional American Way will meet me somewhere in the middle, I'd like to have a rousing, but friendly discussion! Thanks.

you might be a redneck

We  have  enjoyed the redneck  jokes for years. It's time to take a  reflective look at the core beliefs of a culture that values home,  family, country and God. If I had to stand before a dozen terrorists who threaten my life, I'd choose a half dozen or  so rednecks to back me up..

Tire irons, squirrel  guns and grit -- that's what rednecks  are made  of. I hope I am one of those. If you feel the  same, pass this on to your redneck friends.  Y'all know who ya are  

You might be a redneck if it never occurred to you to be offended by the phrase, "One nation, under God".  

You might be a redneck if you've never protested about seeing the 10
Commandments posted in public places.  
 
You might be a redneck if you still say "Christmas" instead of "Winter   Festival". 
 
You might be a redneck if you bow your head when someone prays. 
 
You might be a redneck if you stand and place your hand over your heart when they play the National Anthem 

You might be a redneck if you treat our armed forces veterans with great respect, and always  have. 

You might be a redneck if you've never burned an American flag, nor intend  to. 

You might be a redneck if you know what you believe and you aren't afraid to say so, no matter who is listening.

You might be a redneck if you respect your elders and raised your kids to do the same.

You might be a redneck if you'd give your last dollar to a friend. 

God Bless the USA !    

IN   GOD   WE   TRUST!

89% need to shut up

The election results in yesterdays primary races leave a lot of issues in doubt, but one is crystal clear.

The voters are apathetic and at least 89% of the people you hear complaining about the government, politics, etc. need to just shut up.  Their opinions clearly do not count.

These are  the percentages of folks who showed up out of the registered voters in each party:

Texas Republicans 11%
Bexar County Republicans 7.25%
Texas Democrats 5%
Bexar County Democrats 4.75%
Sad, people, just sad ...

the bible and evolution

From the Amazing Facts article "The Bible and Evolution" 

"False Assumptions, Faulty Conclusions
But what about all the supposed scientific evidence that proves evolution? The truth is that the theory of evolution is based on huge assumptions about things that happened in the unobservable past. (Remember that the scientific method requires observation and repeatable research. So calling evolution “science” doesn’t make any sense.

For instance, the theory stands on dubious dating methods. One is carbon dating, a method used to date dead plants and animals. All living plants and animals contain the same ratio of two types of carbon, 14C and 12C, which they get from the atmosphere and from space. When an organism dies, 14C begins disintegrating while 12C levels remain constant. Thus, measuring the 14C/12C ratio in a dead plant makes it possible to estimate how long ago the plant died.

But to precisely determine the plant’s age, at least two questions must be answered: How fast does 14C decay? And how much 14C did the organism contain when it died? In answer to the first question, 14C has a half-life of 5,700 years. (A “half-life” is the amount of time required for half of the atoms — in this case, carbon atoms — in a given sample to decay.)

To answer the second question, scientists made an assumption that the atmosphere’s 14C/12C ratio has remained constant throughout earth’s history. If so, they argue accurate dating is possible up to about 80,000 years — after that the amount of 14C left in a specimen is so small it is undetectable. But if this assumption is wrong, any dates calculated by this method are untrustworthy.

In science experiments, assumptions are critical. But if the starting assumption is false, the ensuing experiment will lead a scientist to draw a flawed conclusion, even if his calculations appear correct. Willard Libby, the developer of carbon dating, drew his conclusions based on the assumption that the earth was millions of years old. He calculated that it would take about 30,000 years for an atmosphere’s 14C/12C ratio to reach equilibrium. When he discovered that earth’s ratio was not in equilibrium, meaning it must be younger than 30,000 years, he dismissed it as an experimental error!

Suppose you enter a room with one door and no windows. In the middle of the room, a burning candle sits on a table. With nothing else to do, you try to figure out how long the candle has been burning. You start by observing how fast the candle is currently burning; how many inches per hour, for example. Does that tell you how long it’s been burning? No, because you don’t know how tall it was when it started burning. Suppose a note on the table stipulates that the candle was three feet tall when it was first lit; now you can calculate how long it’s been burning based on how tall it was to begin with and how fast it’s burning now.

But wait. When you entered the room, the open door let in more oxygen, so now the candle would be burning at a faster rate than before. Even if you know the present oxygen level of the room, you wouldn’t know what it was before you opened the door. Without an observer taking careful notes during the entire process, you can only guess as there are simply too many unknowns to make an accurate calculation.

It’s the same with carbon dating: There are simply too many variables. Scientists don’t know how old the earth is because they don’t know and can’t observe what has happened in the past. Or how the environmental factors have changed. Amazingly, an entire religion has been established on these dubious assumptions. It seems strange then that evolutionists ridicule the faith of Christians. Believing in evolution requires far more faith than believing in creationism."

God's last name is not "damn"

Why do they call cursing in movies "Adult Language"? Is this something we want to encourage to our children as they mature? Shouldn't it be just be called "Cursing and Profanity"?

Would the warning not be more honest if it was "For Immature Audiences Only", instead of for "Mature Audiences Only"?

Maturity is a displayed when we walk AWAY from something harmful, not toward it.

We show real maturity when we move in the other direction when evil beckons.

By our example our children learn, by our honest maturity they will grow into right minded thinking adults and, hopefully, pass it on.
