I just want to say that my heart is so encouraged to see so many people show up for the funeral of a man they never met. A man of color, a vet, an American who went into eternity without much recognition from the news. But America turned out. Not the  greedy lobbyists, or the radical activists of the far left, not the compromisers  who have sold their birthright for thirty pieces of silver. The real America showed up. People who love this country and respect it's fallen who fell in service of their country. I love America.

"Is former President Obama involved with the Clinton crime syndicate? Shipp says,

“Yes, I am absolutely convinced of it.  George Soros gave $30 million to Obama’s campaign.  Then he gave $27.1 million to Hillary Clinton’s campaign.  Both Obama and Clinton are tied directly into George Soros.  Obama was put into office with millions of dollars that came out of nowhere.
Yes, he’s part of this cabal.  Yes, he’s part of this global syndicate, and in my opinion, the subversion of our government.”

From my new booklet:  AWESOME!

 

                                            AWESOME!

"8 For it is by grace you have been saved through faith, and this not from yourselves; it is the gift of God, 9 not by works, so that no one can boast. ." Ephesians 2:8,9 Berean Study Bible

These verses,  in Ephesians, are  the key to christian living.  Too often those of us, who have been saved along time, we have sat in many services and  have  heard this verse quoted many, many times. preachers quote this in relation to how God saves us. This is a wonderful truth!  We are saved from eternal condemnation though Christ and His finished work on the cross.  He took our place and the punishment for our rebellion against the Holy God. All this as they say today is "Awesome!"

Unfortunately, many of us stop there."I'm saved, that I know, and I'm thankful" We received Christ and experience the freedom from the guilt of the past. Everything seems bright and joyous. We are excited about life and maybe for the first time we have hope. Then comes the not so bright times, sick children, troubles at work, some sin that that besets us,  we are offended by someone  and we stumble. We're saved and as Christians we ask ourselves how can  these things happen?

 So, guilt sets in, we can't look the pastor or  fellow believers  in the eye. We don't seek reconciliation with those we offended or forgive those who have offended us. So, we drift away from fellowship with other believers. On the outside we may appear successful and everything seems alright to those around us, but on the inside we are miserable and we feel lost. This condition is not unique to the way of the believer, the Apostle Paul summed it up with this testimony to the Roman Christians; "21 So this is the principle I have discovered: When I want to do good, evil is right there with me. 22 For in my inner being I delight in God’s Law. 23 But I see another law at work in my body, warring against the law of my mind and holding me captive to the law of sin that dwells within me. 24 What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body of death? 25 Thanks be to God, through Jesus Christ our Lord!" Romans 7:21-25 BSB

Wow, the Apostle Paul just admitted that he struggled with sin! Paul says, "because I'm still in this body of flesh sin still is present and sometimes I don't do what I know I said I would do. And, sometimes I do the very things I shouldn't do" How about you as a believer, ever feel that way? All of us feel that way at times as Christians.  Paul struggled with the flesh just like we do. So, in desperation he cries out who is going to deliver me? What hope do I have of ever living a Christian life?  Ever feel that way? Maybe you feel that way right now! Our brother Paul reveals the glorious truth! vs "25 Thanks be to God, through Jesus Christ our Lord!"   Why is this so important?

Satan, who is our enemy, knows he can't stop the Church by direct confrontation when she is filled with the Word of God and the Holy Spirit. So, what does he do? He uses one of his biggest tools. He uses our guilt.

"Satan is out to defeat every Christian. He has a highly specialized arsenal, well-trained troops, and supernatural strategy. One of his most carefully honed weapons is the power of guilt -- he gets a Christian to trip-out on the evilness of his life, a hidden sin, or discouragement. And with the diversion set, he sweeps in for the spiritual kill. Guilt is a tricky problem, because it defeats from the inside-out... unless the power inside is stronger than the guilt."  Hal Lindsey's - The Guilt Trip   I highly recomend  this work.

"31So He said to the Jews who had believed Him, “If you continue in My word, you are truly My disciples. 32Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”  John 8:31,32 Berean Study Bible  He frees us from guilt!

The point is, that the salvation of our lives as Christians comes through a Person, the Lord Jesus Christ! How do I mean this? In Philippians 2:12&13  Paul explains, "12 Therefore, my beloved, just as you have always obeyed, not only in my presence, but now even more in my absence, continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling. 13 For it is God who works in you to will and to act on behalf of His good pleasure."   Philippians  2:12,13 (Berean Study Bible)  Paul cries out "who will rescue me"? Answer; Jesus! He is in us to deliver us. Jesus is the grace of God manifested.  The rest of Paul's statement on the subject is in ch 8 of Romans vs 1  "Therefore there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus"  "No condemnation" means no guilt as far as the Father see us. Where His grace is received there is no guilt. The apostle John put it this way, "1 My little children, I am writing these things to you so that you will not sin. But if anyone does sin, we have an advocate before the Father—Jesus Christ, the Righteous One. 2 He Himself is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not for ours alone, but also for the sins of the whole world." 1 John2:1,2 BSB

The resurrected Jesus,  "our advocate" (our defense attorney), pleads our case before the holy, righteous Father, based on His rightousness. Our Father only sees Jesus' righteousness for our defense. The Father sees us through the finished work of Christ on the cross.

 He gives (GRACE) us forgivness and right standing before Him. That's Awesome!

Are you burdened down with guilt and shame? You have tried to follow Jesus in your own strength? You can have the power to live a christian life. That life of peace and joy produced in our hearts by our absolute trust in the Holy Spirit's leading. This walk is a daily walk. Every day give your day to Him. Put your life and your family in His hands. Put those impossible problems in His hands.

Confess your sins 1 John 1:9 9 "If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness."    He is Faithful!  He is just!  He the Holy Spirit is Jesus in you " the Lord is that Spirit." Let Him have the controls. "5 Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and do not rely on your own understanding;

6 think about Him in all your ways,and He will guide you on the right paths." Proverbs 3: 5,6 Holman Christian Standard Bible

If your not sure you have eternal life or you know right now that you are not saved, then issue with God is "Will you receive my Son Jesus the Christ? Will you trust only in His sacrifice and the fact He conquered death? He is alive and stands ready to come into your heart and life to save you.  You must invite Him! Let Him in today.

Lord, I agree that you died in my place and paid for all my sins. I know that you live and hear my prayer  Come into my heart and save me.

The Lord Jesus knows your heart. He knows if  you mean that prayer.

.... he who comes to Me I will never cast out" John 6:37 (Modern English version)

He, not any man, will confirm that He has saved you. If you still have questions, or are not sure of the salvation that Jesus offers, you can contact us:

                                                   THE FORGOTTEN FIFTH

 In the 60's there was a term known as the"Fifth Column". You heard this from "Birchers" and conspiracy theorists. In those days you heard term "fifth column" mentioned on radio broadcasts, a very few TV broadcasts, and in magazine articles all the time. This term "fifth column" for young and uneducated is just another term for what they are calling today "the deep state".

I have come to realize that this past election has done something that  I would have never thought would  happen. It has exposed "the deep state","the shadow government", "the swamp". We, if we have eyes to see,( a willingness to see things as they are #open mind) we can see that people like George Soros and his accomplices, like Schumer ,Pelosey,,the criminal queen of spin Hillary, and of course the American head for the Muslim Brother hood himself, Barrack Hussein Obama have an agenda. That agenda, is to replace our current laws and rewrite the Constitution. There are many more that have, for all appearances, sworn allegiance to the Soros "Utopian Socialist" open borders model. At least that's the garbage they sell to the American people. "Multiculturalism" is their chant. Well, we are seeing who is truly for the sovereignty of this country and who is not. We are seeing who loves Americans and America and who does not. IF YOU HAVE EYES TO SEE!

This definition seemed appropriate 

 "A fifth column is any group of people who undermine a larger group from within, usually in favor of an enemy group or nation."
