Bitter-Sweet

Not locally, most local churches have learned to accommodate sin... sophisticated pretenders, padded pews, air conditioned comfort.

But, on short-wave radio I sill hear ministry around the world in it's fullest. President Theodore Roosevelt, when he greatly admired something would say “bully”. God's message, God's music, it is hard to applaud with one hand when I am blessing my radio and it's participants with the other. It sickens me beyond comprehension when I hear rap music; illiterate, irascible lyrics brought up to the level of Bach, Brahms, Fannie Crosby or Charles Wesley (Crosby and Wesley wrote thousands of classic hymns.)

I believe with all sincerity that God had removed His hedge of protection, His hand of care from the flesh, the world, love for the devil of America. In my lifetime, we have seen family, faith, and freedom destroyed mostly because of government and their chief enabler... the church.

We ask, “why so much evil when God created good.” God looked at the earth, which he created, and said it was good. (Genesis 1) After six days of creation, he rested on the seventh. He did not need rest, but knew that those of us who worked would. The mantra of the 20^th century 50 percent of the American population, working to keep from work. (67 holidays for federal workers, retirements, 57 percent living on subsidies.)

God allowed evil to enter the world just as he allows rust, viruses, decay. His greatest gift, free will. He knew that men, loving sin, would want darkness instead of light. (Romans 1) Evil has always been almost incomprehensible. In 1871, President Ulysses Grant put South Carolina under marshal law. Following the civil war, the Ku Klux Klan, a democrat institution, (even one Supreme court justice, Hugo black, was a member) attempting to control Republican blacks who were even serving in the congress (in the area here where I live in North Carolina, a black Republican, John Henry White, represented in Washington until 1900) 4800 men had been lynched, including 1300 whites. Every week. Until this day, our senses are bombarded with evil.

A baptist missionary, working in communist China tells of how North Korean mothers, attempting to escape with their children from the horror pit if North Korea, if they ever get across the border, the Chinese and North Korean guards will rape and ravage in the most horrible manner dragging the mother's back while leaving the children in China. Yet, the Christian church continues to grow in North Korea even though there is a penalty of death to worship anyone except Kim Jong-Il. The church continues to grow in China. Their are more Christians in China than the population of the United States. Shame on American “so-called Christians”, who in comfort, who in pretension call good evil, evil good... Bitter-Sweet. Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter! (Isaiah 5:20) Isaiah wrote this 700 years before Jesus, the light of the world was born.

Recently, I heard an advertisement unlike any I have ever heard before... Americans being encouraged to move to Chile... climate, wholesomeness. The debauchery affecting our lives may have started in the pornography-slime pits of Hollywood. The financial enslavement affecting our lives may have started in Washington and on Wall Street. Through the secular state-controlled news media, the epidemic has spread and we all feel engulfed. We know about the modernists, social gospel, agnostics in the pulpits but, there must be some real pastors left. Where are they? We know about the black caucus, liberation theology, abortion promoters, same-sex marriage, ask don’t tell... foolishness of the democrat party. Surely their are some Patriots left in all political parties. We know there are thousands of veterans WWII , Korean, Vietnam, Middle East, who were man and woman enough to put everything on the line for this country. Where are their voices?

This veteran was at Duke hospital across the street from the Veteran hospital (VA thought I could get better care there). My white haired mother grieved at my blindness was amazed when I said to her, “God did not make a great stairway to heaven with out having a beautiful landing area for me. Don't worry yourself as I am running up the stairs.”

America is no place for mimicry. There should be no greater joy than the joy of an American citizen.. Fast and firm in the foundation of the salvation provided by God through His son and the blessings of a once dynamic nation
