Paradoxes and Parables

"I'm in with the in crowd
I go where the in crowd goes
I'm in with the in crowd
And I know what the in crowd knows"

You can spend your life trying to make people understand something that they don't want to understand.  The great difference in our lives is the truth and the almost truth.  The most effective lie contains a measure of truth.  The track record of truth, in our lives, in the 21st century, everything that comes from government is a lie because everyone knows that popularity, personal progress, even advancements in position and wealth depends on political correctness AND, it is not just politicians and bureaucrats.  Now, corporations depend on employees polluting and pilfering with truth.  There was a time that you could write a letter of complaint and expect to get an answer form someone interested in your problem.  I challenge you, dare you, write a letter of complaint to any corporation, business, or politician and see if you even get a reply.  If they reply, it shows that they got the letter... became legally involved.  The entire business, political, professional world operates on the theory of non involvement as a protection against legal recourse and entanglements.  There are almost more lawyers now than clients... all out to make the big bucks.  The courthouse has become the "go-go market", every type legal "recourse" from ambiguities to antisocial behavior. 

The greatest paradox in American life, and this has happened in my lifetime, 85 years, the difference in what it means to be free and what it means to be enslaved.  After 238 years of American History there is real lethargy in liberty.  Perhaps an even greater paradox, seeking normalcy in a very abnormal world.  Any government with power over the media, especially the talking boxes that can make you believe in absurdities can lead you to believe in atrocities.  The Christian offers up to God, everything about life.  Sicknesses, etc.  Your writer, world traveler,  has found that human nature is about the same the world over.  Technology has changed our lives but not our nature.  It grieves my soul to see the decadence of my country, my fellow countrymen, every psychologist, social arbitrator, modernistic theologian believe they have the answer.  Paradox of all paradoxes, normal active children controlled by drugs simply at the whim of a teacher or busy parent, same child later ostracized by the world because of their addictions to street drugs (and, alcohol as a drug). 

The "scream" of the milliners, baby boomer's, healthcare, even the abomination of Obama Care, in spite of supplements, fitness programs, eating disorders and plans.  It never occurs to patients that 10% of all deaths come from misdiagnosis.  You are fortunate if a doctor even touches you.  At my own Internist Practice, (60 doctor's in one building) each doctor is limited to 7 minutes with a patient.  The word cure is no longer in the Lexicon...only treatment.  Big Pharma wants every citizen taking at least 2 or 3 prescribed drugs and, they want a continuous line of refills.  The only growth industry in America, the "sick care" industry.

As great dilemma paradox sin beyond human comprehension, abortion, the killing of the unborn.  Now, more recent, the actual selling of small human people's tissues and body parts.  Planned Parenthood, such a misnomer must be an embarrassment to creator God, while, at the same time, millions of dollars are raised each year by so called "do gooder" groups, over $22 billion in 2010, everything from neonatal survival to autism.  Little wonder that there is more suicide than ever, particularly among teenagers, veterans, even doctors.  That chasm in the soul of man, which only God can fill many attempt to fill with counterfeits.  Satan has always paid off with counterfeit.  We seek answers everywhere but the right place, the absolute truth revealed in God's word. 

When I was a professional "healthcare" student in Memphis, 4 years, everyday I passed the famous Le Bonheur Children's Hospital, (since Danny Thomas, now called St. Jude's) where atrocious children's diseases were being discovered, treated and cured.  We do not hear much about cures for children anymore, just the abomination of abortion.  Can one think of any greater paradox than the careful birthing, raising, educating, of a child and then caring so little for the destruction of some other person's unwanted child?  Beyond contradiction, the greatest creation of creator God I cannot believe that God will hold faultless a nation, a world, that has killed those he chose to live, weather in war, or in the mother's womb.  There was a time when the electorate would have scoffed at someone running for President of The United States who would support the killing of the unborn and certainly the partial birth of a precious baby.  The paradox, is there any difference in the soul/mental attitude of President Obama and Dr. Kermit Gosnell?  Can you think of a greater paradox, the President of a Christian College, sitting across from this writer at lunch, telling me that he voted for President Obama? 

We live in a paradox of token church membership, token checkbook love to church and other charities.

Think of this paradox.  Is there any greater cruelty from one human being to another than ignoring children, or even the elderly, spindly legs from starvation, or pulling the plug early at hospital in order to harvest organs from a terminal loved one?  I feel sure that the last thing many of our fellow citizens hear as they reach toward the portals of eternity, without anesthesia, that buzzing saw, as the harvesters open them up to gain access to their organs.  

Sisyphus

Sisyphus

In Greek mythology, Sisyphus was a King whose crimes included deceit and treason, sentenced and punished to spend his life pushing a large boulder up a mountain, only to have it fall back down again. Today's world, power brokers, Kings, prime ministers, presidents, in a "stupor" of fairness and political correctness are allowed to just "move on," write books and make large gratuities from speeches. Near the end of God's book, these people are referred to as living deliciously (Rev 18:9), the best the world has to offer, lifestyles, excesses which would make even King Solomon envious. Jesus and his disciples own nothing. Judas was the only one who ever talked about money and who left the last supper early. There is nothing in God's book to lead us to think that Judas was saved. Even Dr. Albert Einstein, perhaps the worlds greatest mind, said to a German newspaper, "This Jew will stand with his fellow Jewish kinsman, Jesus Christ." The rich who have grabbed for power, prestige, profit, have never realized that they enter the world with empty hands and will leave the same way. The rich-wealthy-prestigious might leave fortunes to their children but their children, unless complete mental cripples, must know how their wealth was obtained. "Wealth [gotten] by vanity shall be diminished: but he that gathereth by labour shall increase" (Proverbs 13:12). I have never known a politician who returned from his government service, poorer than when he left. We all understand why millions are spent to get elected. Perhaps the greatest examples, recent Presidents, Lyndon Johnson and Bill Clinton both went to the Presidency poor but left rich. Clinton said, "When I went to Washington I did not have 10 cents, but left a millionaire." Lyndon Johnson went to Washington poor and in debt but left Washington after his Presidency, worth 98 million dollars.

When you go on the golf course, you have a 1/12,000 chance of making hole in one. Looking over the universe, you have a 1/81,000 chance of matching two atoms, a 1/62,000 chance of becoming ill from a supplement, 1/136,000 chance of showing that every promise and every prophecy in God's word would work out to be exactly correct. Even the 700 years between the Old Testament and New Testament, every prophecy exactly correct. Why then would you take a chance? Mock almighty God? "Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap" (Galations 6:7). And, "For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows" (1 Timothy 6:10).

Look across the ocean to Europe, financial-economic trauma, and what has happened to the churches. Always, without fail, the more Christianity is reduced to religiosity, the worse off the world.

It takes 51 million voters to elect a President in America. There are enough Catholics-Baptists (two largest denominations) to elect a President. Why do we have a President who is pro-choice (pro-the killing of babies), pro-homosexual (promoting same sex marriage), pro-destruction of our military forces (infiltration by homosexuals), pro-communism (socializing of everything), pro-government controls, regulations (travel, taxation), a man who has never known real work, a real job, just intent on the destruction of the middle class.

If, there were 20 crashes each day of a 747 airliner, about 3,000 deaths, there would be mayhem throughout the nation. Yet, 3,000 of the most innocent lives are taken each day in the holocaust of abortion. If, the average working man were to take as much time off playing golf, vacationing, as does this President and his family, there would be no one to pay the taxes required to pay the interest on the national debt. If, the average church-God had to depend on such "Christians" as Obama and his family, Reverend Jeremiah Wright and other Obama supporters, the anti-Christ movement-media promoted, would be complete. But, they are all living deliciously, evidently thinking that God is blind.

There is so little joy in the world. Even in the world's richest country, most just trying to survive.

Give us back the days of the family farm, the family business, integrity at the White House, state house, court house, school house. On the family farm we were diligent, honest, worked hard, and glad to pay our own way. We got up early and worked late. Sweat was not sauna event. Food had not been molested by GMO's or MSG's. I so well remember the first time that my father sold his tobacco for 50 cents a pound...we celebrated new babies as a family, knew the thrill of new clothes, we knew the thrill of electric power lines going into the community, could hardly wait to turn on that bulb hanging down from the ceiling. It took God 40 years to humble his chosen slaves from Egypt, saved only Lott and his two daughters from the destruction of Sodom. God is not surprised by sin-political, social, financial.

Tougher You are, Tougher the Test

Our minds, when young, and some of us even today, wellsprings of diligence and survival.

Our heroes were such characters as Robinson Crusoe, shipwrecked, castaway, on a Pacific island. On one of my 'round the world trips, (islands of the world) I considered what it would be like to be isolated on such an island, totally dependent on my own resources.

Today, many of us feel we are castaways, most starved people in the world. You do not need to be blind as this writer is totally blind, to feel that you are in a world of blind people who have no concept of what is going on around them, a world of deaf people, who do not hear what is going on around them, a world of addicted-drug addicts, who do not care what is going on around them. King Solomon tells us that the mercies of God are new every morning. (Lamentations 3:23) God always reveals to those who are faithful. His loving kindness is better than life (Psalm 63:3) Unbelievers do not believe this and, probably others, such as my lost relatives, but, even though totally blind, God has always revealed in my mind, and this is where all vision takes place, the eye only acts as a receptor of light, the appearance of everyone whom I meet, the world and the things around me. NOW YOU CAN UNDERSTAND HOW I HAVE TRAVELED THE WORLD, LIVED A PRODUCTIVE LIFE.

Weak, mortal, genus: Homo Sapien, creatures, so underestimate God and so overestimate Satin. To think, that people can murder other people, even the most innocent among us, and get by with it that, we can use the tissues of these little people for experimentation to improve our own conditions. I have detailed my experience in witnessing an abortion, the little hands-little feet. I have detailed my being asked to leave a scientific meeting because I expressed my horror with the “harvesting” of human embryos in the treatment of Parkinson's disease.

Now, we will see how long the world tolerates such corporations as Pepsico, Nestle, Kraft who, attempting to find a tingling, tantalizing, taste bud sensation to replace salt and sugar in food and drinks, are using the tissues of aborted babies in experimentation. The nation of India is boycotting Pepsico because of this tragic, horrendous experimentation.

Children of God for life is calling for a public boycott of major food companies partnering with Senomyx, a biotech company that produces artificial flavor enhancers using aborted fetal cell lines to test their products.

In 2010, the pro-life organization wrote to Senomyx CEO Kent Snyder, pointing out that moral options for testing their food additives could and should be used. But when Senomyx ignored their letter, they wrote to the companies Senomyx listed on their website as "collaborators" warning them of public backlash and threatened boycott. Food giants Pepsico, Kraft Foods, Campbell Soup, Solae and Nestlé are the primary targets of the boycott.

Federal Law that the mother give elective permission to use her baby in experimental research. Of course, real Christians cannot believe that a mother would abort her child. Regardless of her attitude towards the biological father, a child which has her DNA and, much of the experimentation is because of certain DNA. More amazing, the fact that a civilized society would tolerate such experimentation involving taste, food, vaccines, or anything else. We have know for some time that aborted babies are used in the experimentation and production of vaccines. Only the Catholic church has outwardly objected. Other denominations like so much of the sin and depravity which surrounds us, hypocritically “goes along to get along” not sanctified, discerned enough, in the name of God and all that is decent to criticize and antagonize corporations and politicians. It is not easy to become a member of AAAS (American Association for the Advancement of Science) but I left this group long ago because of their “political-correctness” bent, their antagonism toward justice, their sacrifice of science at the altar of money for corporations and government.

Do we actually expect to escape the wrath of God? We live in an age of deception... deceived from every direction. The only thing government, politicians, corporations, and, I'm sorry to say, most religions, want from us, is our money, the financing of their high lifestyle and our VOTES for it's continuation. Just as God looks over your shoulder when you vote, so He is looking over our shoulder and in our pockets and purses when we buy from these companies who insult the very word “civilized”.

I wish God would let the Devil have some fresh meat instead of working over time on some of us. Like Robinson Crusoe, survival of civilization is important, particularly for those who are being killed. Reportedly, 50% of the aborted babies are still alive when aborted... and, as quickly as possible, the dissection begins. As the doctor said in Macbeth, the last chapter, “God help us all.”

When the Music Stops

She had worked at Duke hospital handling medicare and medicaid forms. Attractive, 19, business school graduate, homesick for her parents. After working a while for me, she got a much better job at another doctor's office.

Two years later, I became involved when subpoenaed by her family's lawyer. The doctor-employer for whom she worked was 30 years her senior, but still a good looking, well built man. He and his wife were wealthy, she one of the city's best known realtors. Her doctor-employer seduced her and she became pregnant (my former employee). The doctor and his wife were childless and she, stupid as most young girls believed him when he told her he would divorce his wife for her. About 3 months pregnant, not yet showing, she came and talked to me about the situation. There are several non-negotiables in my faith - abortion, same-sex marriage, homosexuality, lesbian preachers. I told her she had NO CHOICE but to have the baby. I would help her find a place to stay, in Durham during gestation, then she could put the baby up for adoption. Her doctor-employer insisted she have an abortion, so afraid his wife might someday discover the truth. This should have told her how much he cared for her. She had the abortion in a nearby city, and that very week, her doctor-employer was killed in an automobile crash. From all appearance, it was suicide but, insurance paid off... tremendously.

The rest of the story, she became a total mental cripple, dependent on her parents. She just sat around all day in a rocking chair as if she were rocking a baby. The parents, knowing the full story, needed financial help... so a trial. The wife handled the trial well but the doctor's mother was a disaster... she so wanted a grandchild, from her only child, now dead. On the stand, I told everything, amazed that the judge allowed some of my words, I decided to see just how far the judge would let me go. His mother was looking straight at me, bewildered that her doctor, son would seduce a young girl. I said, “The grandchild you so wanted was killed by an abortionist.” Ads in the newspaper said, I created chaos in the courtroom, the judge banging with his gavel, the dead doctor's mother screaming. In a desert of Godlessness, the rot of sin destroys many lives.

And, speaking of doctors, healing, the medical caduceus which I wore on my uniform as an Army medical officer, the emblem of healing in the healthcare world started with people who did not obey.

Moses, leading two and 1/2 million Jews, 400 years slaves in Egypt, miracle after miracle (red sea on dry land not a sick one among them (Psalm 105) Shoes and clothing that did not wear out. Pillar of fire above them) started complaining about the food that God was providing for them. IF YOU COMPLAIN ABOUT WHAT YOU BITE, GOD MAY SEND SOMETHING TO BITE YOU. God sent fiery serpents, biting them, many died. At least they had sense enough to go to Moses and admit their sin. God told Moses to put a brass serpent on a pole, all they had to do was look at it for healing. (a shadow of things to come, Christ on a tree, atonement not only for sin but for healing – Isaiah 53)

The “rot”, the reason the music has stopped, (guidance and blessings of God) slothfulness and envy. Christians cannot criticize occupiers, the 50% of the population living on welfare, the 54% of the population living on entitlements... most moochers envious of others, when the producers are becoming more and more lazy... grown men in the best years of their lives, messing around on golf courses-playing video games.

God has pulled back the curtain, revealing just how rotten civilization has become. Do we really believe it was more rotten before 5000 BC and the flood of Noah?

Recently, in a “gay pride” parade, political Icons were marching behind members of the NAMBLA (man boy/love association) Perhaps this is the answer at Penn State. Can one imagine a 28 year old academic, Mike Mcqueery, not interfering with a disgusting site in a locker room shower? Can one imagine university officials not coming down hard on Jerry Sandusky... just letting, according to grand jury testimony, this matter fester for 15 years as the cheerleaders-and the band music played on? The anti-Christian, anti-God, state-contolled, secular, humanist, news media, would have you believe that the entire world has gone SEX CRAZY and everyone should just accept perversion as a way of life. Clare Boothe Luce, congresswomen, writer, wife of Life magazine's Henry Luce said, “there are two groups of people in the world, the optimists and the pessimists, the pessimists are much better informed”. This writer has been accused of negativity, perhaps, because, I am better informed.

America's problems are beyond politics. Today's unbelievers did not invent despising God. Hell is full of God's enemies awaiting final judgment. It is too late for them, but before YOUR music stops, from the rot of sin and rejection, and, since judgment begins at the house of God (1Peter 4:17), protesters, pretenders, provocateurs should look around and take note.

Synchronization

There is a large bridge now which transports 60,00 cars per day from Denmark to Sweden. 10 miles long but, I crossed this waterway 50 years ago by ferry, Denmark to Sweden. I was visiting the university at Gothenberg, Sweden. The thing I remember most, the great clock tower and a clock perfect synchronization having kept perfect time for centuries.

If medals were given out for failing, in many ways, I would be at the head of the line to get one but, in spending time well, routine, work-ethic, I do not see how anyone could do any better. As I tell my accountant, year after year, I have such a fixed routine that my living expenses, business expenses, the expenses involving all my activities can be duplicated year after year.

It is when one gets out of synchronization, that the trouble starts. I'm sure that Satin rests on the Sabbath, because he has been so effective the other days of the week.

Backsliding is the very dangerous, perhaps more dangerous than never having believed. God may cut some slack for those who have never known the joy, thrill of His Mercy and Grace but, having known, having experienced His forgiveness, to then fall away, backsliding, often returning to the “forging” of the old life, some have even tried to integrate-synchronize the two.

No better example than impetuous Peter, in every way, the most interesting of the disciples. Like so many Christians, substituting action for prayer. Instead of asking, through prayer, for a divine assistance, he just acted. On the Mount transfiguration, “let's build three tabernacles” most of us would have been transfixed at the sight of Moses and Elijah, to say nothing of our blessed Lord. While Jesus was involved in the illegal trial, victim of illicit Roman leaders and ill-suited church officials, He sat with the unbelievers in the courtyard and warmed His hands by the enemies' fire. Not transforming (Romans 12:1) but conforming to the expected of denying and cursing, attempting to make himself a member of the world, flesh, devil. Anytime you follow from afar, accompanied by unbelieving-compromising men and women, you set yourself up for a desensitizing, denying, occupying... backsliding.

So easy to fall into temptation. 99% of those who call themselves Christians fail to pray every day (lead me not into temptation Matthew 6:13)) This writer, personally feels, that just as important as praying that I not be tempted, not to lead others into temptation.

Smile and stay around a while. Synchronization requires mental health as well as physical health. 60% of the population, now overweight. Good health depends on what you put in your mouth, food and drink. Minimize your trips to your doctor and the drug store. Minimize the putting of chemicals in your body, particularly GMO's & MSG's (Genetically Modified Organisms & Mono-sodium Glutamates) Meats and dairy products contain hormones, plastics leach chemicals which cause cancer. Every person has cancer cells. The health of your immune system keeps cancer from getting out of control

Obama is the face of genocide, the holocaust of abortion. Two of every five black women have had an abortion. In America,There are 3000 abortions, the killing of innocent babies, every day, 1300 black. The most dangerous place for a black child is the womb of a mother. Outside communist China, the largest abortion clinic in the world, Houston, TX, 7800 square feet. Synchronize your approach to life. Live your own life to the optimum, the best version of yourself. Next to your soul's salvation, your greatest act of life, synchronize obedient, gratuitous, compassion toward others.

Hegelian Dialectics

In the Hegelian dialectic method of conversation, there are three stages, you have thesis, antithesis and synthesis. My thesis, blind eyes studying the condition of the world: why has God allowed the churches, those who know better than to cross the line, support such evident world decadence? At least there was a time that the world, the flesh, the devil and those human beings controlled by such had the decency to stay out of the church. Now, brazen, indifferent, shameless...the gay agenda is working its will in every church, from the largest to the smallest. You cannot always tell who they are, in the old cowboy movies the “bad guys” wore dark hats, the “good guys” wore white hats.

There are churches, people who wrap themselves in a cloak of Christianity, so called “Christians” operating under a tent of church activity, who accept the most horrendous act of God-defiance: the killing of the most innocent of life in the abortion holocaust. There are denominations that put homosexual pastors and bishops in pulpits. There are denominations, particularly black churches, who support politicians and a political party that supports evil, knowing that their God-fearing, hard-working, taxpaying members and the descendants of these members for many generations, are loaded with a tax burden increasing at $4 billion each day!

It is so simple to understand, in the first chapter of God's Word, Genesis 1:6-9, everything is separated, water from land, darkness from light, all systematically, all perfect, and then God rested. History is marked by His treatment of those who refused to obey, refused to separate...the Flood, captivity by enemies, laws and prophets. With Christ there is no confusion about our lifestyle, Christ himself said, “Whosoever will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.“ (Mark 8:34)

Surely, anyone with sense enough to read God's Word, anyone who matriculated through a Bible college or seminary should realize that the church has gone over the line with its music, apparel, and activities. “If gold rusts, what do you expect iron to do?”

God talks with us, but very few listen. Perhaps His judgment has already started...world-wide climate changes, incomparable disasters, fires, floods, earthquakes, volcanoes, atmospheric phenomena. You will not hear much talk on secular, socialistic news commentary about such, but it is time for people to prepare for survival. Basic survival skills are a matter of food and water. Those who prepare ahead-of-time, both mentally and physically, may make it through the dilemma.

Start now...walking, limiting food intake, exercise (there will be no fuel, no vehicles, lucky people will have a bicycle). Learn to live around stupid people, if they were smart, we would not have the leaders we have now. Learn to defend yourself...you think we have gangs now, just wait until there are roves of hungry, desperate people roaming the streets.

In other commentaries, I have talked about being on some of the islands of the world such as the Seychelles where the populace is at the mercy of tyrants. I do not believe the men of America have realized what it will be like to defend their homes, their wives, their daughters. The most basic level of survival is just food, water and shelter, but on the second level of survival, lifestyle activities to which we are spoiled might slowly come into existence. Remember that this could go on for years. Every area, every scintilla of our life activities depends on energy. Just think of what your life will be like without electricity, only the energy that you, yourself, can produce.

The city of Washington DC has not been touched by this great depression we are in now. We send our tax dollars there...there is little unemployment, few foreclosures. The federal government has underground bunkers to house its employee, 176 million MREs (meals, ready-to-eat) have been stored. As bleak as it sounds, from the beginning God gave us hope and assurance in Him. He is like a man which built an house, and digged deep, and laid the foundation on a rock: and when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently upon that house, and could not shake it: for it was founded upon a rock. But he that heareth, and doeth not, is like a man that without a foundation built an house upon the earth; against which the stream did beat vehemently, and immediately it fell; and the ruin of that house was great. (Luke 6:48-49)

The modernist, liberal unbeliever, those who trust man more than God, in church or out, know nothing about building on a firm foundation. In my lifetime, I have seen people around me grabbing for government checks instead of the promises of God. In eastern North Carolina, poor black and white sharecroppers, tenant farmers, cotton-mill workers, people who just took the crumbs from the table, but raced to vote for more-of-the-same from promise giving/breaking Democrats who know full well just how far the line has been crossed.

One lady said there are more Baptists than birds in eastern North Carolina. God has continued to care for the birds, but the Baptists threw their weight behind the decadent Democrat party. Baptist churches know better than to support the gay agenda, same-sex marriage, the killing of the unborn. A mixed up, messed up doctrine.

We cannot do much about the world's Muslims, Buddhists, Hindus, even the Episcopalians, Lutherans, Methodists, who have all bought a mess of pottage. Pray for vision inside and outside of the church as we face the uncertainties of the future.

Emancipation Day

Yesterday, I interviewed a young man for work, and as always, in these days of enslavement to addictions of every type, I impressed upon him the fact that I have no tolerance for addictions to drugs, theft, laziness. I have come too far in life myself, the road has been too rough for me to put up with such things. He said, “can you imagine what it is like for your mother to be in prison for drugs? I would not touch such.”

Once, I was at a large eastern North Carolina farm inherited by the wife of my cousin. My cousin said, “have you ever seen a whipping post?” In the area where the large barns were located, where the slave quarters had once been located on the plantation, there was a post where the slaves were whipped. He said, “I wonder if a museum would like this?” I said, “perhaps, some people cannot have enough of hateful things. But my advice is to burn this in your fireplace, can you even imagine the horror story involved in this one post?”

Today is Emancipation Day in Washington DC, it is the day in April of 1862 that President Lincoln freed over 3,000 political prisoners from DC prisons. The larger Emancipation Day comes on January 1^st, first celebrated in 1863, this was the day when all slaves were emancipated. Perhaps there is more slavery in this country now than ever before, not the slavery of one man owning another, but slavery to addictions. Slavery to sinful lust, slavery to Satanic forces of evil engulfing the physical and spiritual areas of the country.

Next to the physical slavery endured by many in the early years of this democratic republic, the next greatest shame in the American experience is its treatment of disabled veterans and handicapped citizens. Of course, it is impossible for the crippled, deaf, blind to be emancipated from their disabilities but these, the largest minority in the nation, estimated at nearly 30 million, should receive better treatment, not only from the government but their fellow citizens.

Please God, help me understand why those who have worn the uniform of their country, in many cases spent their own hard-earned money, trained so they could better serve their country, and who return from the battlefield spattered and torn, weary and worn have to fight for the help promised them. The most inept agency of government is the Veteran's Administration. One would think that after such a long experience in dealing with veterans the VA would not be such a disaster. The last time this totally blind, 100% disabled veteran was at a VA facility, the doctor said, “your record is flagged, it says that you write letters and articles about veteran's care. You are not very popular with the VA.” Yes, I have written hundreds of letters trying to help other veterans. It is too late for me, but perhaps the young warriors returning from these recent useless conflicts would get better care...at least a modicum of concern.

Please God, help me understand why the descendents of black slaves, in lockstep, 99% vote the Democrat ticket. President Lincoln was a 18^th century Republican, it was 19^th century Republicans who passed the 1964 civil rights legislation, a bitter battle with white Democrats. I have, here in my house, a sign which was found in the front of every public conveyance, passed by white democrats, the North Carolina law ordered blacks to sit in the rear of the bus. The blacks may have been emancipated, but by North Carolina law, a law in most states, they ate at separate facilities, used separate drinking fountains, used separate public bathrooms.

Please God, help me understand why black parents will allow their children to get on a public school bus in the inner city or elsewhere, ride through the more affluent areas to a public school where they are marched off the bus to a cafeteria for food and then into a classroom where Democrat officials think they cannot learn unless surrounded by children with white faces. In North Carolina, for over 100 years, the Democrat owners of state government have deprecated minorities of every type, skin color, disability, economic status. Even to this day, although there are now civil rights laws which prohibit some discrimination, the taint of separation is still so obvious in every area of endeavor.

Please God, help me understand why supposed Christian churches have not risen up as a giant hedge to protect the unborn. Surely, if anything in this world is wrong, it is murder. Yet, until very recently, there has been almost no moral outrage by those who should be most outraged, the black church (52% of all black babies are aborted), the Baptist churches and other evangelical denominations.

It was not until Dr. Francis Shaffer, great preacher and writer, shamed American evangelicals that you never even heard anything about abortion from the pulpit. Baptists considered abortion a Catholic concern, yet in the last presidential election, Catholics who controlled 70% of the American vote, voted 54% for the pro-murder, communist Sunni Muslim, Obama. Baptists have lost all credibility with me, a born-again Christian. I speak of Southern Baptists, Free Will Baptists, National Baptists, and many independent Baptists. Black churches have lost all credibility with me with their liberation theology, nationalistic preaching and their yearning for the benefits of government welfare instead of the blessings of almighty God.

It is strange that human beings will exchange one form of slavery for another...the slavery of drugs, sex, food addiction. The slavery of having been given opportunity in the greatest nation in the world, to not take advantage of the responsibility of that liberty, and it is not just one race, one social class. From the pulpit to the pew, from the legislative hall to the work bench, from the moneychangers on Wall Street to the bankers on your street, everyone trying to get by, pushing the envelope just as far as possible, enslaved by greed, gluttony, lust, pride, anger and envy toward those who perhaps have more than you do, are blessed in some way more than you (ancestry, looks, brain power).

Please God, help me understand why You in the giving of Your Son for the redemption of mankind, for the greatest liberty and freedom one can imagine, we still prefer the shackles of sin and degradation, not wanting the greatest emancipation the human mind can understand.

Fairy Tales

Come you back to Mandalay,
Where the old Flotilla lay:
Can't you 'ear their paddles chunkin' from Rangoon to Mandalay?
On the road to Mandalay,
Where the flyin' fishes play,
An' the dawn comes up like thunder outer China 'crost the Bay!

“Mandalay” - Rudyard Kipling

On an ancient train from Rangoon to Mandalay, the Rudyard Kipling poem above kept ringing in my ears as I witnessed the most desperate, despairing, yet beautiful countryside in the world. As has been the case with most communist, police-state nations, there is little progress, if anything, everything going backwards. The smell at the Rangoon airport could never be forgotten, the despair on the faces of the people of this enslaved country could never be described.

In the hotel at Mandalay, right down the corridor from my room, a wannabe bar/entertainment area. Of course, in this mostly Buddhist/Muslim country, there was no alcohol, but a strange drink which the natives drank. I settled for some excellent Burmese coffee, and the other men in the room were playing cards or some other type of native game. One bartender, a vibrant young man about 20 years of age, immediately wanted to practice his English with me, was very curious about my visit.

My questioning started when I asked him about helping to find me a Burmese sapphire. He said, “you know that I cannot get involved in that type of thing because of the government.” As we talked, I learned the most incredulous story of my life. He said, “I have been to school, studied very much, even some contraband books. I am trying to find an answer to an image in my brain which I simply cannot erase.”

“When I was just a small baby, could have been more than three, just beginning to walk and talk, a great flood of the Tuipui river engulfed large areas of India and Bangladesh, washed away much of the population of these countries.” As those of us who have studied political geography know, 75% of the world's populations live along waterways, rivers, oceans. He said, “I can remember the great river outside of our house, the water rising, a ladder to the top of the house. It has been almost 20 years, but I still remember the rushing water, my parents clinging to the house, a metal tub coming by containing someone's laundry, my mother putting me in the tub, kissing me. The current took me away, never again to see my parents or anything relating to my home, wherever it was.” He said, “remember, I was just a baby. It was several days and nights of horror as I floated in this ocean of water, hungry and thirsty beyond words to describe, horror-stricken, bumping up against large objects, the current carrying the tub with tremendous force. At one point, a bird landed in the tub, laid an egg, and even at my age, I had sense enough to eat the egg, this is what kept me alive. Then, one day, all of a sudden the tub stopped, people were all around speaking languages unfamiliar to me. A woman took me out of the tub, fed me, washed me, raised me as her own child, and here I am.”

“Now doctor, this is something that has gnawed at my brain my entire life. You are the only one I have ever found who could give me an answer. I remember in that home, there was a cross which I now know was a crucifix, which hung on the wall. My parents seemed to worship this image, would hold me up to it. In my reading of any books I could find on religions of the world, I believe my parents had a different religion than the Buddhism, the religion of the stupas, the zongs to which I had been exposed here in Burma. Will you tell me? Do you think I was born to Christian parents?”

I had in my suitcase, in my room, a US Army military New Testament (the communists confiscate Bibles, but not military testaments). I came back with it, and told to this man, who showed the most rapt attention I have ever seen, the story of the world from its creation through the Old Testament. I told him there is a 700 year silence between the Old Testament and New Testament. I told him about the Creator of the universe, sending His own Son, Jesus Christ, to save them from their sins. I told him the crucifix he had seen as a one year-old child, was Christ on a cross, crucified in atonement, redeeming the world from sin through His own death on the cross.

I said, “you speak English well, and I'm sure you can read English. I want you to begin your study of this New Testament, which really is all you need until your studies lead you to the whole scriptures of the Holy Bible containing both the Old Testament and New Testament. Start with the Book of John, it will tell you everything you need to know about Christian salvation. Then from the Book of Romans, through all the letters of the Apostle Paul to Philemon, you will learn all about the Christian church. The most predominate religion in the world is Christianity, the largest Christian church is the Catholic church, over 1 billion members. I believe your parents, even though in a Muslim or Hindu country, were Christians-Catholics.”

“One of the greatest men of the Bible, Moses, was saved in a tub on a river by his mother, just as your were your put in a tub, in a river, by your mother. I will not be here to teach you about God's Word, creation, the Christian life, but everything you need to know is right here in this New Testament, which I will leave with you. You were saved from a raging river, from a raging flood, with a precious memory, all leading you to this moment in your life!”

God will answer my question one day, about how life has become so cheap to so many “Christians”, particularly Baptists. In school, even the doctors were too embarrassed to talk about abortion. Dr. Francis Shaffer made me aware of this tragedy. I was asked to leave one Baptist church (First Baptist Church, Goldsboro, NC) because the pastor told me that he did not want abortion mentioned in his church, that it was a medical/social problem, an intrigue to Catholics. I was asked to leave another Baptist church (First Baptist Church Wilmington, NC) because the pastor considered the evangelizing of the blacks in our community not “our” responsibility. Planned Parenthood's founder (financed by the Rockefeller Foundation, supported by 65% of the American people), founder Margaret Sanger believed in eliminating the “negro problem”, “weeds”, through eugenics.

Baptists, Protestants, most of my family and friends will split hell wide open because they have believed, without apology, in the fairy tale of make believe, playing church while the most precious of God's creation, babies, are killed by the millions. As the doctor said in Shakespeare's famous play, Macbeth, “God helps us all!”

Pot Luck

A member of a certain pastor’s church, a very elderly lady, was in the hospital. Knowing the sun was about to set, knowing she was about to go the last mile of the way, she sent for her pastor, via her sister, so that she could make her final arrangements. In the presence of her sister and pastor, she told them what hymns she wanted sung at her funeral, what scripture she wanted read, and all the other details which she had not previously discussed with the funeral director. She said,”now pastor, this is going to seem strange to you and many people, but as I lay in my casket I want you to put a fork in my hand.” She was not obese, not known to be a big eater. She explained, “everyone will ask why and I want you to be able to tell them. I have been a member of your church for over 60 years. Supper after supper, one pot luck meal after another, as the plates are taken up off the table, you or some deacon has always said, ‘save your fork, the best is yet to come.’ I always knew there would be a wonderful dessert. I want everyone to know I am waiting for my dessert, that the best is yet to come.”

I know what she was talking about, as many church suppers as I have attended in my life, as many luncheons where I have spoken. Once, at a Christian college, the ladies brought pie to all the people at the head table, except for me. They brought me a sliced apple. The lady next to me said, “I am so sorry you are diabetic and cannot enjoy this pie.” I said,”when did you people get the idea that I am diabetic? I want my pie too!”...which I thoroughly enjoyed.

One of the greatest social acts of human endeavor: eating together, whether in a small or large group. The problem is that most of us eat too much, God was not joking when He spoke of fasting. This weekend before Easter, is a time of fasting for many people. For Baptists, fasting is a matter of eating one chicken leg. For Methodists, fasting is a matter of bringing only one casserole to the supper.

Most spoiled, overweight, indulged Americans feel that we are in the driver’s seat, in control. I have encouraged people, in writing and in speaking, to prepare for a most uncertain future by stocking up food in order to survive. We are not buying for a picnic, who cares if your children do not like certain foods, they will like anything if they get hungry and there will be many hungry people in a national disaster. The test of our Christianity will come when hungry people, those who did not prepare for the worst, are at your door begging you for your food.

For most of our lives, we have been able to live, anticipating most things, anticipating the seasons of the year, shelves and stores full of groceries. We learn, here in hurricane land that it takes just a few hours for all groceries to sell out of grocery stores. A few hours after we learn that a hurricane will hit land you cannot find bread, milk and many survival foods on grocery store shelves.

You must consider the fact that in case of nuclear disaster, an earthquake/tsunami, such as the recent one in Japan, the stores will be empty, there will be no delivery trucks on the highways. Power lines will be down, there will be no electricity for your house or for the gas stations (and this could last for months). There will be no power at the water plant, no water coming from the spigot, you can dial 911 until your fingers get tired, but as has been found in every place of disaster, you are on your own!

This year, the wheat crops were failures in Russia, Australia, and in many parts of Europe and Asia. Just as the energy prices (gasoline, etc.) are going up, so will the prices of food (triple in one year). I hear Americans speak of the quality of life as compared to those who are disabled, those who disenfranchised from the wealth of the world, as we find in third world nations. We are not alarmed about starvation from Sudan (Darfur), survivalists in Yemen, Bahrain, Syria, Libya.

A nation known for the killing of its unborn, can expect little mercy from a sovereign God for those who want to survive through no effort of their own. God will not judge us according to what He has not given us, but by what He has given us. We get the idea that God sits in judgment, not knowing judgment; believe me, he knows justice and will judge us with equity (Psalm 98:9).

Actions have consequences, every financial decision is a spiritual decision. Your mission field is the land you are standing on...preparing those around you for the inevitable. Many think that Jews are only supposed to worship on the Sabbath, Saturday. I believe that if you study your Bible you will find that the Jews worshiped every day, they just rested on the Sabbath. Even in the desert, the Jews kept the feast, paid the tithe.

In 1860, Americans survived on 300 calories; in 1960, it took 600 calories. Most foods today have so little nutrition. Positively the worst things we can eat are the white foods: flour, sugar, rice, simple carbohydrates. We stay hungry because our bodies are starving, starving for nourishment. The more knowledge we have, the less we know about our own welfare. There are 30 more sexually transmitted diseases now than in 1960. One fourth of all college students have a sexually transmitted disease.

Some pediatricians do not give a deformed child any nourishment, much like the ancient Romans who put deformed, unwanted babies on the streets to be killed by horses’ hooves. Earliest Christians retrieved the babies that had been put under bridges and on the streets to die and raised them.

The sovereign God of the universe probably smiles on a pot luck church supper, but not luck as it involves other life activities such as luck that you do not get a disease from sexual activity, luck that you do not use your finances unwisely, luck that you can survive a disaster without preparation, or the luck that you have not been aborted as have so many of your fellow human beings. Dr. Francis Shaffer was the first preacher of the Gospel telling us of the holocaust of abortion, hypocritical Baptists and other denominations paid no attention to abortion, they thought it was a Catholic concern, that the Catholics were the only ones interested in abortion. You do not have peace with God until your have the peace of God.

St. Herod The Great

One of my best friends, when I was in the Army as a field-grade medical officer; was a black medical officer who was born and reared in the delta of Mississippi. This was many lifetimes ago, we were both young, the military was newly integrated, did not have many black doctors. He had an interesting story, born on a delta cotton farm, his family, through every dime they could raise, saw him graduate from college at the black Meharry Medical School at Nashville TN.

Retired, living in Florida with his daughter, he showed up on my doorstep, having taken a flight from New York, stopping off here just to visit me. We went out to lunch, and before he had to leave on his next flight, we talked about many things. I asked, “what has happened to the black population, spiritually, politically, morally?” He said, “because of abortion and AIDS, the black population will rapidly disappear. AIDS, as you know since you have been there, is wiping out the black population of Africa. It is doing the same thing in America, and because of abortion, 52% of all black babies are killed.”

I asked him, “we know the attitude of the liberal, black communist politician...Waters, Rice, Powell, Holder, Rangel, Obama, etc, but what has happened to the black theologians, ministers, black doctors, lawyers, teachers, have they lost their senses through black nationalism, liberation theology, Rules For Radicals?” He said, “they don't care, they do not care what happens to this nation. They cannot get over physical slavery, and so they have substituted it for mental slavery.”

In my youthful questioning of my faith, and others questioning my faith, it was always difficult for me to reconcile God's gift to the world in His only Son, yet the slaughter of so many innocent male children by Herod the Great at the same time. The patron saint of New York City should be Herod the Great, because even more horrific than the murder of 52% of black babies by abortion nationally, this figure is as high as 62% in New York City. On the Avenue of the Americas, New York City, a sign was put up on February 23^rd of this year by the “Life Always” anti-abortion group, showing a beautiful, young black girl in a pink dress with the words “The most dangerous place for an African American is in the womb.” Immediately, black liberals, especially black women activists and Reverend Al Sharpton led protests, demanded that the sign be removed. Black councilwoman Letitia James said, “It is misguided to use Black History Month as a tool to promote this message. Every woman has the right to make personal choices in regard to her body, and I respect many different points of view.” The anti-abortion group, removed the sign, but not to be defeated, the same group put up a sign this month in Chicago reading as follows, “Every 21 minutes, our next possible leader is aborted”, showing a picture of President Obama. Today, there is outrage about this sign.

Americans have a “Las Vegas” mentality, just pulling levers, hoping for the best. If we are invaded by a terrorist nation, could more damage be done? Bizarre moral equivalence, same-sex marriage, division of the denominations because of gay bishops, lesbian pastors (Lutherans, Anglicans). The great television preacher, Dr. Robert Schuller, at odds with his family and choir concerning morality in the church, he wanting to tolerate everything. Dr. Schuller, the church has been too silent, too long, about sin everywhere, in the church and outside of the church. Think of a judiciary unconcerned about the murder of 53 million babies, an effort to force the gay agenda on everyone (don't ask don't tell, same-sex marriage). The family defensive marriage act passed the congress 457 to 81. Already, the defensive marriage act has been thrown out by the corrupt, communist Obama administration.

The exceptionalism of America is built on the foundation of faith and family. We have never understood the deception of family life in Islam...slavery of women, honor killing of children, frightful controls of dress and behavior. The very fact that a Muslim woman cannot drive a car, is so restricted in every activity of womanhood, should bring out brigades of American liberated women to fight for Muslim human rights. But, liberal Democrat women have blind spots about the murder of babies, the enslavement of personhood in other countries.

Ever since the Muslim split in 600 AD, Sunni, Shia. There has been a rafting by responsible societies to escape the misery inflicted on the women and children of this religion (out of sight, out of mind). Only the tourists who have visited these 44 Muslim countries, only academics who have studied this religion, could talk about the insanity involved in Islam. But, the Muslims do not abort their babies, are careful of diet, careful of debilitating habits (drinking, smoking), they honestly feel they are a superior race. According to Chapter 9 of the Koran, they must either convert or kill all infidels, all non-believers in Islam, the last religion. They do not honor any other religion. They actually believe that the rocks and trees will talk to them at the end of the world, telling them where all the unbelievers are, so that at the end of the world there will be nothing left alive except for Muslims.

Is anyone concerned with the ridiculous idea that we can establish a democratic society in such chaos? Has anyone considered that Christians and even members of other faiths, Buddhists, Hindus, Jews, should build their belief system on a solid foundation of truth and justice. Christians know that through prayer, all things are possible. If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you. (John 15:7)

Gods In White Coats

I had just arrived as a member of the staff of the US Army Hospital, Fort McClellan Alabama. The medical officers on duty hung out in the bachelor officer's quarters, watching television; if needed anywhere, could be easily reached by phone.

The first night I was there, the obstetrics officer said, “Tom, go with me to surgery, I am going to make a Cesarian delivery.” I had never seen a Cesarian delivery previously, and it was a rewarding experience. The next night, another obstetrics medical officer, father of four children, said to me, “Tom, go with me to surgery and gown up, I have to do an abortion surgery.” I hated to show my ignorance, but in school, we were embarrassed to even talk about such. I suppose, that in order to prepare me for the shock, on the way to surgery, he said, “this women lost her husband in the war, she already has three children, now we find she has cancer, in every way, she is a mess. She has decided that we end the gestation.”

I went in the room and watched. She was draped and I could see very little about the procedure until, with the forceps, he began to drag out the body parts of the baby. I would give most anything to be able to wipe this scene from my memory, those small feet, small hands, etc. I was so sickened, I just turned and left the room. Later he asked me, “what happened?” I said, “never mention this incident to me again.” But, between me and you, I never had another ounce of respect for the doctor, the fact that he could kill and deliver innocence, a man who had four precious children at home waiting for him.

The field of bioethics is new to the healthcare community...abortion, stem cells, in-vitro fertilization, cloning, etc. It has been said that in worship, man's needs meets God's goodness and greatness. I believe that in the treatment of the innocence of the unborn and those who are worn out with living, we find our measurement as a man, as a society, as a nation. Bioethics concerns ethical questions that arise in the relationships between biology, medicine, politics, law and philosophy.

The one person who enjoys more respect, than any other in our nation, is the doctor. Every area of specialty, naturopath, osteopath, optometrist, dentist, chiropractors, podiatrist. Many get the idea that they are God when they put on a white coat, particularly the medical scientists, those who work in medical schools, medical laboratories, those who never have the joy of the blessed interaction of doctor-patient care. This one factor was left out in the ludicrous Obama healthcare program/legislation, those who support the Obama/communist healthcare system, those who support big Pharma, socialization of all healthcare, are mostly just healthcare scientists rather than practitioners.

You are considered a nut if you even discuss life-giving, health-giving supplements. You are considered a “quack”, when you say that 60% of your energy comes from fresh air, 40% from food. You are considered radical when you say that calories and synthetics are responsible for most illness. To the scientists, it does not matter if life begins in the petri dish, rather than the love act of a father and mother. To the scientists, it is not immoral or unethical to destroy stem cells from fertilized embryos, new individuals, in each cell of the embryo, the DNA which could fill thousands of pages. Take heed, lest any man deceive you (Mark 13:5, Matthew 24:4) Take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with … cares of this life (Luke 21:34).

Satan's magic has convinced many that there is no difference in good works and Holy works. University students, even those in the healthcare professions, know little about holiness. There is nothing, I repeat, there is nothing as Holy as the sensitivity of life toward the youngest, as well as the oldest. The individual of just a few cells, or the individual of 70 trillion cells. You can be sure that with limited resources, liberal indoctrination of healthcare workers will include the message that old people do not deserve the same expensive surgery and care as the young. You can be sure that the Alzheimer's patient will not deserve the care of the active, taxpaying, middle-aged patient (even though new neuron therapy is available to the Alzheimer's patient through the nose). In the future, the greatest question facing the doctor: will he preserve elderly life, for a few weeks, months, years longer?

Many years ago, in Manhattan, I attended the great 5^th Avenue Presbyterian church. After the founding of Princeton University, this church would give every new preacher from that university a new suit upon graduation. Today, the chairman of the Bioethics department at Princeton, Dr. Peter Singer, now promotes the philosophy of abortion, even weeks after childbirth if the parents are not satisfied with the baby and that “killing a newborn baby is never equivalent to killing a person.“ God will apologize to Sodom if the treatment of personhood by the intelligentsia, academia, the Democrat party, escapes the wrath of God.

As a totally blind, 100% disabled veteran, I have talked enough with the disabled and disenfranchised of the world to know about man's inhumanity to man. I have traveled every continent of the world, seen poverty as very few other people, seen the beautiful faces of poor people, not one would have wished to have been unborn We are so confused, ¼ of all students in the Ivy League universities are there because their parents were able to pay the many thousands of dollars for consultants to make the connections necessary to get their children into these schools. There are thousands of applicants for every space at prestigious universities, most with all the credentials needed, scores, previous activities, etc. Elitist parents are now paying up to $40,000 to consultants who know how to pull the right ropes to get their children into these supposed launching pads to greatness.

In this jungle of life, if not perfect, if not from wealth, if disabled, learn to endure hardness as a good soldier (2 Timothy 2:3). In the council chambers of eternity, before God created the earth, He was aware of you. Of the billions of people who have lived on earth, no one else in the world is like you, your facial features, your voice, your mind, your fingerprints, your ability to love and be loved.

Scrubbing

I would be a more popular writer, speaker, if I were not who I am. I would be more popular with family and friends if I were not who I am. Christ, apostle Paul, the prophets, everyone who has ever stood up for God has been unpopular. Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? Whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God. (James 4:4)

I have tried it, with my personality, at the gym, at civic meetings, even at family gatherings, when I was quiet about my Christianity, I was much more popular. Those who do not let the light which calls them out of the darkness shine forth in their life have not been sufficiently scrubbed by the redeeming Holy Spirit of Jesus Christ. When you have been born again, washed in His precious Blood, a new creature, you do not care what others think, you would just like for them to have the experience of your transformation. And, these family members, friends, neighbors do not want you to put them on their prayer list, because, they know that you have asked God to meddle in their business.

One of my friends told me that she was walking through the local shopping mall, a young girl approached her wearing a t-shirt on which the following words were found, as were seen in the 1966 Time Magazine: “God Is Dead“ - Nietzsche (this was the first time in its history that there were only words, no photo, on the cover of the magazine). She then looked on the back of the shirt and saw these words, “Nietzsche Is Dead” - God. There is no middle ground, you are on one side or the other, you have been scrubbed or dubbed (dead).

It is spring cleaning time. On the farm, after a harsh winter, all doors and windows in the house were opened. Beds, bedding, mattresses, rugs were given the best sanitizing known to man, sunlight, hanging on clotheslines and fences. The floors, everything was scrubbed. The barns, smokehouse, wash house, everything was cleaned. In the hospital, everywhere else I have worked, I was known as a crusader for cleanliness. In another commentary, I have talked about my inspection of hospitals. Do you want a doctor or nurse working on you, insufficiently scrubbed? Staph infections in hospitals come from filthiness. Illness in restaurants comes from filthiness, I learned early in life, that very few people know the healing of activated charcoal, you should keep charcoal handy for every form of sickness. This cheap, fundamental method cleans toxicity in the system better than anything else.

In my lectures to theaters full of new enlisted men and women coming into the military services, I impressed upon them the importance of cleanliness everywhere. I told them that in a foreign country, or even a strange community, when going into a restaurant, always without fail, send someone, or go in yourself, into the bathroom and see if the bathroom is clean. If the bathroom is not clean, the kitchen is not clean...get up and leave.

For a long time, but particularly in recent years, there has been an effort to scrub Christianity from western civilization. It started in recent history with Roger Baldwin, (founder and secretary for 30 years of the ACLU), Madalyn Murray O'Hair, (Texas lawyer who challenged Christianity every way she could), Robert Engersaw, Christopher Hitchens (now dying with cancer), Michael Newdow (California physician and lawyer). They have tried to remove God from all monuments, currency, military chaplains, and federal buildings, even the schoolhouse and the courthouse. The weak Christian church, trying to be politically correct, holding on to God with one hand, the world with the other. Prissy-sissy preachers most of the time did not show up, until it was too late. Those who would keep the posting of the Ten Commandments on the public square, in the public schoolhouse, often did not have the Ten Commandments posted in their own house. So, because of an innocuous 1963 21-word prayer, prayer was taken out of the schoolhouse, replaced by police patrolling the halls.

Even in my state of North Carolina, visiting pastors before the legislature were told not use the name of Christ. When I graduated from the state university, I was given a Bible. Today's graduates are not allowed to hear a prayer, the name of Jesus Christ, or God honored in anyway in a public ceremony, in buildings paid for by taxpayers. Academia, the satanic controlled news media, has done a good job of scrubbing Christianity from the public scene, aided and abetted by lukewarm Christians on whom God cannot depend on for anything. Hearts and consciences have been dulled by liberal churches and liberal denominations.

If I, in my writing or speaking, offend anyone, believer or non-believer, it is their problem. Most of my friends and family have no problem watching 3 ½ hours of television everyday, as is the average of the American people. But they do not honor God in their living, believing and giving. We do what we do because we believe what we believe. Who do you think you are fooling? Not even yourself. I am the first to tell anyone, if you profess to be Christian and still promote the Democrat party, you are unsaved.

Dr. Bernard Nathanson, was unsaved as the world's chief abortionist, even aborted his own child. The doctor just died three weeks ago, was consider the nations leading abortionist until he saw the unborn via ultrasound in the mother, was converted and became the country's most prolific pro-life speaker. Shame on my family members, my friends, my fellow healing arts practitioners who still support the Democrat party, a political embarrassment to our nation and to God, this political entity who promotes the killing of the most innocent of life.

When you have been sufficiently scrubbed through repentance and the baptismal pool, your politics will change. God hates idolatry more than anything else, your idols of political persuasion, money, entertainment, pride in whatever does not matter. God can only use you or me after we have been scrubbed clean by the “Blood of the crucified One.”
