CONCERNS ABOUT REFORMATION 500, T4G CONFERENCE IN HAMBURG, GERMANY
republished below in full unedited for informational, educational, and research purposes:
 

The 2017 Reformation 500 Together for the Gospel Conference will be
held in Hamburg, Germany, on April 27-29. The Conference will feature
notable speakers from the U.S. as Albert Mohler, Ligon Duncan, Mark
Dever and David Platt. The event is sponsored by Evangelium21, an
organization that dubs itself  “a network of Christians who base their faith firmly on Jesus Christ and His grace.” Their website proclaims,

Although we belong to different churches and
congregations, we are bound to have full confidence in Holy Scripture
and a theology of the Reformation. We believe that the biblical gospel
is also God’s power in the 21st century. It fulfills Christians with a
viable hope as well as overwhelming joy in God and belongs to the center
of church work.

Evangelium21 is directed by two other notable speakers at the Conference, Matthias Lohmann, and Ron Kubsch. Now here is where I have concerns. Lohmann and Kubsch are both under the academic leadership of a man named Thomas Schirrmacher
at Martin Bucer Seminary. Most of you have probably never heard of this
Schirrmacher. But to say the least, this is a dangerous man who has
made ecumenism and kissing the feet of the pope his mission in life.

Prof.
Dr. Schirrmacher Meeting With Pope Francis at Pope’s 80th Birthday
Celebration Where He Referred to the Pope as a “man of integrity”

Schirrmacher and the pope have a peculiar friendship. Schirrmacher is referred to as the “pope’s most beloved Protestant,” and for good reason. Schirrmacher recognizes the pope not as the man of lawlessness who leads billions into eternal damnation with his false doctrine, but rather as a “man of integrity.” Schirrmacher is the director of the International Institute for Religious Freedom and is also a director of the World Evangelical Alliance. He is a signer on the ERLC’s statement, “Protecting the future of religious higher education.” Suffice it to say, this man gets around.

In 2014, Schirrmacher, along with well-known Word of Faith charlatans Kenneth Copeland and James Robison and several others met with the pope of Rome for a three-hour luncheon that
was organized by the late Episcopal Bishop Tony Palmer that included
talks of ecumenical relations, and as James Robison put it, it was “an
intimate circle of prayerful discussion and lunch to discuss not only
seeing Jesus’ prayer answered, but that every believer would become a
bold, joy-filled witnesses for Christ.” “We want to see Jesus’ prayer
for unity answered in our day,” Robison said.

Subsequently, Schirrmacher was invited to the World Synod of the Catholic Church–the
only evangelical invited to the event–to provide coverage. The event is
lauded as a cooperation between Roman Catholics and Protestants to “to
protect religious freedom in a world of increased persecution of
Christians.” In an exclusive article by Schirrmacher at the Christian Post entitled 10 Reasons Evangelicals Should Talk to Catholics, one of his reasons was,

We cannot give up the unity of the Church, even though for us it first of all is a unity in faith, not in organizational issues.

Unity is a long way to go and probably unachievable, but nevertheless
we cannot omit a command by Jesus just because we think it will not
work. The World Evangelical Alliance was founded for this very reason
and cannot settle down with what we have achieved so far.

Perhaps Schirrmacher, with all of his academic achievements, lacks
the ability to understand that Roman Catholics hold to a false Gospel
and are not part of the Church, therefore, unity with them is strictly
forbidden (2 Corinthians 6:14).
In a statement that he gave at the Vatican’s University in response to
the 2015 Vatican Synod on Persecution of Christians, Schirrmacher, who
refers to the man of lawlessness and leader of the harlot religious
system as “Holy Father,” explains how ecstatic he is
that the pope “apologized” on behalf of “2.6 billion Christians” around
the world for persecuting each other and are now coming together in
ecumenical unity to combat persecution.

Do not be unequally yoked with
unbelievers. For what partnership has righteousness with lawlessness? Or
what fellowship has light
 with darkness? – 2 Corinthians 6:14

If that doesn’t bother you enough, perhaps Schirrmacher’s affirmation
of the Roman Pontiff as the worldwide “head” of Christianity should
make you stand up. He states,

[T]he international community would be obliged to stop
the genocide. There would be a good chance for success if the Christian
world, with the pope at its head, takes a strong stance for such a classification of oriental Christian persecution. [translated from German]

This man, who regularly convenes with his friend, the pope, has made
unity between the Protestant faith he claims he believes and spurious
expressions of Christianity such as Roman Catholicism his mission.

Doctrinal integrity is clearly not a concern for him–social justice and
economic progress has been elevated to the levels of highest concern for
him at the expense of gospel truth. He has clearly demonstrated his
alliance with Rome at all costs, and he sees no danger in pushing his
ecumenical agenda throughout the academic Christian world where pastors
and theologians are trained for ministry around the world. Men such as
Mohler, Platt, Dever, and Duncan, and others such as John MacArthur and
Paul Washer who have had various dealings with him shall be compelled to
do their due diligence before partnering with this worker of
lawlessness or anyone under his academic leadership. This man does not
have the best interest of the church at heart.

“PASSION’S” LOUIE GIGLIO GREETS POPE WITH “HOLY KISS”

“PASSION’S” LOUIE GIGLIO GREETS POPE 
WITH “HOLY KISS” 
BY BUD AHLHEIM
republished below in full unedited for informational, educational, and research purposes:
 "I appeal to you, brothers, to watch out for those who cause divisions and
 create obstacles contrary to the doctrine that you have been taught; 
avoid them. For such persons do not serve our Lord Christ, but their own 
appetites, and by smooth talk and flattery they deceive the hearts of the 
naive."  Romans 16:17-18

That doctrine-denying ecumenism is running amok in the evangelical
church is an understatement of epic proportions.  
The safeguards of the
faith founded in the sound doctrine of the Word have been all but cast
aside in, to an onlooking post-modern worldview, an admirable spirit of
tolerance.  But where the world, currently controlled by the enemy of
our Lord, lauds tolerance, the Apostle exhorts the church to be
intentional in avoiding those with “contrary doctrine.”
Ecumenism of a dangerous, virulent sort was exhibited at the recent Passion Conference. (For more on Passion, go HERE.)
The joining together of known false teachers and those who have been
previously seen as reliably orthodox is not a thing to be lauded, but a
warning sign to be seen.  It is a sign of the lowering of doctrinal
standards.  It is a sign of acquiescing to the spirit of tolerance which
deceptively rules the age.  And, it is a sign of the self-perpetuating
downgrade of the visible church.
But this discernment-free ecumenism is not a recent development for
Passion front-man Louie Giglio.  Back in July 2015, Giglio was granted
by the Vatican an invitation for a meet and greet with the chief
apostate on the planet.
According to a Catholic News Agency article
emphasizing Francis’ active engagement in seeking a re-establishment of
relations with evangelicals – particularly charismatics – present at the
meeting was, “Rev. Louie Giglio, from the Passion City Church of
Atlanta.”  (Source)
A video of the “holy kiss” meeting of Giglio and Francis is provided
below.  Starting at the 00:49 mark, Louie, then his wife Shelly, are
granted a greeting with the pope.

 “Beloved,
although I was very eager to write to you about our common salvation, I
found it necessary to write appealing to you to contend for the faith
that was once for all delivered to the saints.
For
certain people have crept in unnoticed who long ago were designated for
this condemnation, ungodly people, who pervert the grace of our God
into sensuality and deny our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ.”  Jude 3-4

Regrettably, those “certain people” are no longer creeping in
unnoticed.  For 50,000 millennials at the Passion conference, $209 could
buy a ticket to see them.

 

VATICAN OPENS PALESTINIAN EMBASSY AHEAD OF CRITICAL SUMMIT IN PARIS REGARDING ISRAEL

 
VATICAN OPENS PALESTINIAN EMBASSY 
AHEAD OF CRITICAL SUMMIT IN PARIS 
BY ROBERT SPENCER
republished below in full unedited for informational, educational, and research purposes:
 

A Palestinian state would, like Gaza, be simply another jihad base
from which “Palestinians” would launch new attacks against the State of
Israel. That the Pope would validate it in this way is an unconscionable
granting of the Catholic Church’s imprimatur both to the fictional
“Palestinian people,” who were invented by the KGB and Yasir Arafat in
the 1960s to counter the view of the tiny Jewish state surrounded by
numerous gargantuan Arab states, and to the Palestinian jihad, which
seeks a new genocide of the Jews, with “Palestinians” openly celebrating
the murder of Israeli civilians.

The very “Palestinians” whose cause Pope Francis is aiding and
abetting will, given the chance, oppress and subjugate the Christians in
their domains as dhimmis, deprived of basic rights under Islamic law.
In Israel, by contrast, Christians live in freedom. The Pope is
betraying his own people.

“Leave them; they are blind guides. And if a blind man leads a blind man, both will fall into a pit.” (Matthew 15:14)

“BREAKING: Vatican opens Palestinian embassy ahead of critical summit in Paris,” Christians United for Israel, January 13, 2017:

The Pope is set to open a Palestinian embassy at The Vatican this weekend, in what is a hugely significant move by the papacy.
The inauguration of the embassy on Friday, attended by Palestinian
Authority leader, Mahmoud Abbas, takes place just two days before 70
nations gather in Paris to vote on an anti-Israel decree.
PA President Mahmoud Abbas will also meet with Pope Francis on
Saturday. This will be the third time the two have met. When they met
last year, Pope Francis referred to Abbas as “an angel of peace”.
The
Vatican later explained that the reference was mistranslated, and in
fact was meant as encouragement for Abbas to pursue peace with Israel.
As head of the Palestinian Authority, Abbas has been accused of
inciting violence against Jews. Abbas is also the chairman of the
Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO) which was recognised by Israel
and the US as a terror organisation until 1991.
Israel does have an embassy in Vatican City, but the Vatican Embassy
in Israel is in Tel Aviv, whilst the Vatican has an “embassy to
Palestine” located in East Jerusalem. The Vatican officially recognised a
Palestinian State almost two years ago.

Palestinian Foreign Minister Riyad Maliki confirmed that Abbas will

who is set to take office next week, and his proposed plan to move the
US embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem….

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem. (Psalm 122:6)

January 15, 2017 – By Bill Randles

An event is occurring today which portends to be one of the last preliminaries to the shattering events outlined
in the book of Revelation, and the end of the world as we know it.
The event is the opening of a new Embassy, the Palestinian Embassy in
Vatican City. This will be the opening of the first Palestinian
Embassy in the European Union.


The main characters in this scenario are Pope Francis and Mahmoud Abbas, the Palestinian State and the Vatican.

Mahmoud Abbas is the recognized president
of the Palestinian State. The State has been designated by the U.N.
and is to be located in the place in which the God of the Bible gave
land to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob—notably Judea and the Gaza strip.

Abbas, though celebrated as a world leader
and a champion of the Palestinian cause, is actually a terrorist who
planned the 1972 slaughter of the Israeli Olympic Team. He was quoted
last year as inciting the infamous “knife Jihad,” by saying, “We
welcome every drop of blood shed in Jerusalem…” Shortly afterward, he
was warmly received at the 70th General Assembly of the United
Nations, where he and Pope Francis raised the Palestinian flag
together.


At that same meeting, and shortly after
inciting the “knife Jihad,” Abbas was told by the Pope that he could
be the key to peace in the Middle East and possibly win the “Angel of
Peace” award.

The Vatican city, in which this Palestinian
Embassy is to open, is across the Tiber river from the seven hills of
Rome. The hill it is on is called Vatican, due to the Latin word for
fortune telling, Vates. Evidently, the Vatican was the hill
in Rome on which were located several streets of fortune tellers
selling their gifts of prophecy, amulets, and charms. (Ironic, isn’t
it?)

The Palace on the site of the Vatican in
which Mahmoud Abbas and the Pope will meet to celebrate the Embassy,
was built in the fourteenth century and financed by the sale of
indulgences, a concept so crass, venal, and irreverent, it led
directly to the Protestant Reformation and the split of Catholic
Europe.

The very idea of the pre-sale of sins and
iniquities to ignorant Peasants terrified in the first place of going
to Hell or purgatory and willing to part with their meager income to
receive “a certificate of indulgence” would be abominable to any
decent person; yet there is a monument to it on display for all of the
world to see when they tour the stunningly wealthy St Peter’s on the
Vatican.

The Pope of the Roman Catholic Church is
one of the KINGS of the Earth. He presides over the world’s one plus
billion Roman Catholics from his residence on Vatican Hill (Hill of
the fortune teller). He claims to be “the vicar of Christ”; therefore,
he is by definition an anti-christ (i.e., pseudo-christ). He has
decreed that atheists and homosexuals of good will can all go to
Heaven and recently compared Jesus, Joseph, and Mary to Muslim
refugees.

The Palestinian State is a “nation not desired” according to the prophet Zephaniah. In 2015, I wrote the following:

In view of Obama’s intent to press for a “Two State” solution at the U.N. , as petulant revenge on Benjamin Natanyahu for winning the
recent Israeli elections, in spite of Obama’s fervent (U.S. tax payer
funded) election interference, I decided to re-run an earlier article
about the Divine view of the “Two State Solution.” There will never
be an established and lasting Palestinian State; it is the “nation not
desired” and is doomed to disappointment and failure.
In fact, there are no Palestinian people.
The name “Palestine” was imposed on the land of Israel, as a
humiliation by the Romans. It refers to the Philistines, a Phoenecian
people who were subdued centuries earlier by King David and Solomon.

Those who designate themselves as
Palestinians are Arabs. They swarmed into the Holy Land as hired labor
in the late 1880s when Zionist settlers began buying tracts of land,
draining swamps, and establishing agriculture. It wasn’t until the
1960s that these people adapted the designation as Palestinians
(Remember the terror group, the PLO?) and began pressing for
“liberation” and “return to their land.”

The “West Bank” of the Jordan River has
been designated with Gaza as the new “Palestinian” state, and the
pressure will begin to mount to force this on the Jewish people. The
real name for the “West bank” is Judea and Samaria, the heart of
biblical Israel.

In the definitive chapter of the Bible
about the “end times” according to Jesus, the signs of the times are
universal—floods, earthquakes, false prophets, wars, and rumors of
war, until you come to verses 15-16. “Then let them which be in Judea .
. . ”

“When ye therefore shall see the
abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in
the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:) Then let them
which be in Judaea flee into the mountains: Let him which is on the
housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house: Neither let
him which is in the field return back to take his clothes. And woe
unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those
days! But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on
the sabbath day: For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not
since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.
And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be
saved: but for the elect’s sake those days shall be shortened.”
(Matthew 24:15-21)

Something will happen over the conflict
for Judea (the West Bank) that will lead the entire world into great
tribulation such as the world has never seen before, nor will ever see
again:

“Gather yourselves together, yea, gather
together, O nation not desired; Before the decree bring forth, before
the day pass as the chaff, before the fierce anger of the LORD come
upon you, before the day of the LORD’s anger come upon you. Seek ye
the LORD, all ye meek of the earth, which have wrought his judgment;
seek righteousness, seek meekness: it may be ye shall be hid in the
day of the LORD’s anger. For Gaza shall be forsaken, and Ashkelon a
desolation: they shall drive out Ashdod at the noon day, and Ekron
shall be rooted up. Woe unto the inhabitants of the sea coast, the
nation of the Cherethites! the word of the LORD is against you; O
Canaan, the land of the Philistines, I will even destroy thee, that
there shall be no inhabitant. And the sea coast shall be dwellings and
cottages for shepherds, and folds for flocks.” (Zephaniah 2:1-5)

It seems that everyone on earth wants there
to be a “two State” solution including Russia, the USA, the European
Union, the Vatican, and the United Nations; all of the so-called kings
and rulers of the earth demand some kind of division of the Holy Land
and erection of a “Palestinian” State.

But He that sits in the Heavens doesn’t desire one, and HE counts more than all of the rest of them. Read Joel Three… Source

OBAMA’S SCORCHED EARTH EXIT POLICY

OBAMA’S SCORCHED EARTH EXIT POLICY
republished below in full unedited for informational, educational, and research purposes:
 
By Reverend David Whitney
January 15, 2017
NewsWithViews.com
As
the countdown to inauguration day moves forward, across America the
anticipation grows. Americans can’t wait to see the tail lights
of those moving vans pulling away from the White House – hopefully with
less stolen goods in tow than when the Clintons vandalized and pillaged
the people’s house.
Video
of the sermon
                             
But
the biggest problem that will confront President Elect Trump on January
20th is the scorched earth policy Obama has implemented since November
9th. One reports, “Obama is inflicting damage on anything that
could help the transition of incoming President Trump, such as friendly
relations with world leaders. Right now, Obama is fueling so many international
fires that President Trump will likely spend his first 100 days in office
simply putting them out.”
[1]
Obama
“is now attempting to provoke Russia into military conflict. He
has now begun expelling Russian diplomats from the USA as a cover story
for the democrats’ completely fabricated “Russian hacking”
conspiracy theory regarding the hacking of email accounts belonging
to Jon Podesta and the DNC.”
And
on the domestic front, he is conducting a war on the freedom of the
press. He is using “the full resources of the corrupt sectors
of his regime to wage cyber warfare against independent journalism in
order to halt the only remaining free press from warning Americans about
what Obama is actually doing…the DrudgeReport.com website, which
has remained a highly effective thorn in the side of the Obama regime,
was taken offline for 90 minutes by a coordinated DDoS attack believed
to have come from the U.S. government itself.”
[2]
Add
to this the blizzard of regulatory handcuffs, poison pills and trip
lines he has imposed across the Federal bureaucracy and most egregiously
enacting rules preventing States from defunding Planned Parenthood.
Would to God that this lame duck would remain immobile till January
20th. It reminds me of the spoiled child who steals toys from another
child, and when the parents catch on, the thief then incapacitates or
damages the toys before they are returned to their rightful owner.
On
the positive side of developments “On January 20, Trump is set
to inherit dozens of vacant federal judgeships: 103 of them, to be exact.
That’s in addition to the Supreme Court seat left open by the
late conservative justice Antonin Scalia.”
[3]
Regarding other appointments we have seen twenty-seven who have been
vetted and chosen, nine of which will not require Senate confirmation
hearings.
[4]
And one of the most positive developments of all in my view is the news
from Alabama. If Alabama Senator Jeff Sessions is confirmed as Attorney
General by the Senate, then Alabama’s Governor will have the privilege
of naming a replacement to fill his seat. Reports we hear on the ground
in Alabama give high probability that choice will be Chief Justice Roy
Moore. Imagine that, a true Constitutionalist in the Senate. 
 All
of this process reminds me of a far greater appointment system that
is related to a far greater sovereignty than these united States. It
is the appointment process conducted by the King of kings and Lord of
lords in the Kingdom of Our Lord Jesus Christ. His Kingdom is far greater,
far more powerful and it alone is the eternal Kingdom that shall never
be defeated nor destroyed. 
In
contrast to the kingdoms of this world it is the ultimate and eternal
Kingdom. By comparison any position of notoriety, or prominence in the
Federal government is ultimately a small thing by contrast with a position
in the Kingdom of our Lord Jesus Christ. How can one obtain such a high
honor, what are the criteria for those noble positions, what is the
appointment process?
This
morning we embark upon a new study in the New Testament Epistle which
God inspired Paul to write to his disciple Titus. In the opening verse
of this Epistle we have that appointment process revealed, what the
criteria for those noble positions are as well as how one can obtain
such a high honor in the Kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

OBAMA: FAREWELL TO ABOMINATION

FAREWELL TO ABOMINATION
republished below in full unedited for informational, educational, and research purposes:
 
By
Rob Pue


January 15, 2017

NewsWithViews.com

“When
the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice; But when a wicked
man rules, the people groan.” (Proverbs 29:2). Have you been groaning
for the past eight years? As I sit down to write this message, Obama has
less than a week left to occupy our White House. For some of you, by the
time you hear this program, he will, Lord willing, already have left.
I dearly HOPE that this will be the last time I need to speak about Barack
Hussein Obama, but I feel it is necessary to bring closure to what has
arguably been the most devastating eight years our country has ever endured
at the hands of a single enemy within.
I remember
the day he was chosen. Millions rejoiced and danced in the streets. The
press labeled him the “new messiah,” because of the way millions
seemed to worship him. As I watched the events unfold on television that
night, I was reminded of the Israelites dancing around the golden calf,
a false idol, as our rebellious country shook it’s collective fist
at God Almighty. “At last,” the ‘liberals’ rejoiced
— “we have an advocate who will do away with the last vestiges
of our American heritage, and help us remake America in our own image.”
His
first order of business was to make phone calls to leaders of Islamic
countries around the world. No one knows what was said in those conversations,
but immediately after that, he called a meeting of the joint chiefs to
order “a new mission” for how our military would proceed going
forward. He has since proven himself to be a loyal ally and adherent to
Islam. He even wears a sacred ring on his finger, inscribed with the words,
“There is no other god than allah.”
Time
does not permit to even begin to address ALL the ways this single individual
has harmed our nation. But let’s take a few minutes and review the
Obama legacy.
After
a world-wide apology tour, bowing down to Islamic kings, princes and leaders,
he got to work. He filled his staff with devout Muslims. Perhaps you are
not aware of this. Let me clue you in: John Brennan, current head of the
CIA is a Muslim. Obama’s top advisor is Valerie Jarret, a Muslim
born in Iran where her parents still live. She wrote her college thesis
on how she wanted to change America into a Muslim-friendly nation.
Hillary
Clinton’s top advisor, even as Secretary of State, was Huma Abedin,
whose family is part of the Muslim Brotherhood. The Assistant Secretary
for Policy Development for HOMELAND SECURITY is also a Muslim. The Homeland
Security Advisor HIMSELF is a Muslim. Another Obama advisor has been Salam
al-Marayati, founder of the Muslim Public Affairs Council. And are you
aware Obama has a “Sharia Czar?” That would be Imam Mohamed
Magid of the Islamic Society of North America.
Nancy
Pelosi appointed Representative Andre Carson as the first Muslim lawmaker
on the House of Representatives Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence.
Carson receives intelligence on the threat of Islamic militants in the
Middle East. He has suggested that US?schools should be modeled after
Islamic madrassas, where education is based on the Qu’ran. And you
may remember Minnesota congressman Keith Ellison, as he took HIS oath
of office on a copy of the Qu’ran.
Before
Obama took office, intelligence reports and training manuals for the military
showed clear evidence of the threat of Islamic terrorism. But Obama took
care of that, literally ERASING from every official document, every instance
where Islam was linked to terror. Many have wondered, why, in the face
of clear evidence, on a CONTINUAL, DAILY BASIS, why Obama would steadfastly
refuse to utter the words “Islamic terror.” BECAUSE, You see,
to do so would be to blaspheme Islam, an offense punishable by death.
But
what about the rest of his legacy? In his farewell speech, he claimed
“the American people are much better off today than before I took
office.” According to the Independent Journal Review, he claimed,
“healthcare costs are rising at the lowest rate in fifty years.”
But today, Americans are facing another round of cancelled insurance plans
and premium increases. In some states, premiums increased more than 100%
this year.
He also
claimed, “race relations are better than they were 10, or 20 or
30 years ago.” Tell that to the citizens of Chicago, St. Louis,
Baltimore, Milwaukee or any number of other cities where Obama has done
his best to inflame racial tension, division and hatred.
Obama
also claimed, “We shut down Iran’s nuclear weapons program
without firing a shot.” In point of fact, in addition to billions
of dollars given to the Iranians, the Obama administration just recently
agreed to another shipment of uranium to Iran — 116 metric tons — enough
to build ten nuclear bombs. In addition, his “Deal” with Iran
includes a stipulation that they are allowed to “self monitor”
their nuclear program. In other words, we are “taking their word
for it,” even as they continue to shout “Death to America,”
and are vowing to wipe Israel off the map.
He claimed,
“No foreign terrorist organization has planned and executed a terror
attack”?on American soil while he was in office. Time does not permit
to list all the Islamic attacks on American soil, because they have gone
on constantly. But let us remember all the murders committed by Muslims
here in America as fathers killed their own children in “honor killings.”
And in 2009, the founder of a Muslim TV station in Buffalo, New York who
beheaded his wife because he found out she was seeking a divorce.
Then
there was the attack on the military recruiting station in Little Rock
Arkansas in 2009. Another Islamic “honor killing in Glendale, Arizona
in November of 2009, when a father ran his daughter over with a car for
being too “westernized.” Three days later, a Muslim gunned
down thirteen unarmed soldiers in Fort Hood, Texas while shouting praises
to allah. Ashtabula, Ohio, 2013: a Muslim walked into a church service
with a Quran and shot his father to death while praising allah. Three
weeks later, the Boston Marathon bombing.
And
let us never forget Colleen Hufford, who was beheaded at her job in Moore,
Oklahoma by Islamic co-worker Alton Nolen. Or the two New York police
officers ambushed by Muslims in Brooklyn that same year. How could we
forget what happened in Garland, Texas, when two people were killed by
Muslims at a community center, where an event was taking place that featured
cartoon drawings of Mohammad? Then there was the Islamic suicide attack
at a recruiting center in Chattanooga, Tennessee. Need I mention San Bernardino
in 2015?? Orlando Florida last June? Or St. Cloud Minnesota, where a Muslim
brutally stabbed ten people at a shopping mall after first asking them
if they were Christians. ISIS itself claimed responsibility, calling the
attacker, “a soldier of the Islamic State.” And most recently,
the carnage that took place at the Fort Lauderdale airport. These are
only a few of the instances of Islamic terrorism in our country since
Obama has been in office. I’d be here all day if I were to attempt
to list them all. You see, Obama LIES. In Islam, it’s known as Taqiyya.
He also
singlehandedly increased our national debt more during his eight year
tenure than all other US presidents combined. His family vacations alone
cost American taxpayers $85 Million.
We have
an all time record high of Americans who are no longer in the work force.
Average household incomes have dropped substantially. Under Obamacare,
the average family plan now costs $18,000 a year, substantially more than
most people pay for their mortgages…. and because of absurdly high deductibles,
most never receive anything of value from their mandated insurance policies.
We have a record number of Americans on welfare and 45 million Americans
living in poverty.
Obama
has also fomented hatred between citizens and police and even today, in
our nation’s capitol, the Obama democrats are proudly displaying
a painting which depicts police officers as pigs. He has also worked to
weaken, feminize and homosexualize our military. This past July, the Pentagon
issued a comprehensive manual detailing protocol for service members undergoing
a sex-change transition, providing them with extended time off and a host
of other special benefits. The manual also mandates how heterosexual service
members are required to submit to the new rules and accept the special
privileges afforded to “transgenders.” Incidentally, those
with Obamacare insurance will find they are covered for sex-change operations,
while the elderly and military veterans are often denied coverage for
critical and necessary healthcare. Need I mention his attempt to force
transgenderism into all our public schools, allowing boys to use the girls’
restroom and shower facilities and vice versa?
Further,
Obama has undermined our Constitution, writing his own laws using his
magic pen and phone, and allowing the Supreme Court to make laws on their
own out of thin air, to fit his “new world order” agenda.
He has promoted socialism, using his skills as a Community Organizer,
skills honed by the likes of Bill Ayers and his mentor, Saul Alinsky.
He’s alienated our allies around the globe while bowing down to
Islamic leaders worldwide. He’s erased our borders to allow a free
flow of illegal immigrants into our country. These illegals are then transported
and dispersed nationwide, and given free housing, healthcare, welfare
and a myriad of other government benefits, all paid for by you and me….
while WE go without. He’s flooded our cities with Muslims. And he
has used the IRS and the EPA?to attack those who object to his tyranny.
One
of his favorite things to do is to bask in the spotlight and rub elbows
with celebrities, and of course, raise funds. I do not recall any other
“president” in my lifetime handing out so many Presidential
Medals of Freedom. Here is just a short list of some of the recipients
who received Medals of Freedom from Obama:
Meryl
Streep • Barbara Streisand • Robert DeNiro • Tom Hanks
• Cicely Tyson • Stevie Wonder • Gloria Estefan •
James Taylor • Bruce Springsteen • Warren Buffet • Oprah
Winfrey • Ellen DeGeneres • Bill Gates • Harvey Milk
• Gloria Steinem • Angela Merkel • Madeline Albright
• Stephen Hawking • Billie Jean King, and most recently, Joe
Biden. Can anyone say “PAY TO PLAY?!”
As we
prepare for Donald Trump to take office, I?am encouraged; finally, we
will have someone in the Oval Office who is actually an American, legally,
and at heart. He has lived the American dream, and he has accomplished
REAL things in the REAL world. He has not spent his entire life as a politician,
nor has he spent his life as a professional anarchist or Community Organizer.
I truly believe he wants to unite this country and lead us out of the
pit of socialism and tyranny we have all had to endure for so long. He
can’t do it alone, but he has surrounded himself with the best and
the brightest of advisors, not because they have passed the Muslim Litmus
Test, or because they made large contributions to his campaign, but simply
because they are the best ones for the jobs.
Having
said that, I don’t believe Trump knows much at all about Christianity.
But neither is he a Muslim or a socialist, and he is willing to identify
the enemy and protect and defend the Constitution of the United States
against all enemies, foreign and domestic. I honestly do not believe that
was true of his predecessor.
I still
have some concerns and reservations about Trump, don’t get me wrong.
He has a lot to learn, but there is hope. As Christians and as Americans,
we need to hold him accountable as he has promised to drain the swamp
in DC. Now is not the time to withdraw, saying “peace, peace, when
there is no peace.” For we know from Scripture, it is when people
are saying “Peace and safety,” that destruction will come
suddenly. We should never look to ANY government or leader to be our “messiah.”
GOD is our king, and He has instructed us to not be cowardly, but rather
to stand up and as HIS Church, once again be a restraining influence,
salt and light in a world ruled by darkness.
 It’s
going to be hard work for all of us. The battle is only just beginning.
The devil’s team is not ashamed or hesitant to spread his lies.
And like trapped wild beasts, they are now about to lash out and fight
for the false gods they worship.
As a
new day dawns on America, I pray we are ready to stand against the attacks
of the enemies within that are surely coming. It is because the Church
has been so apathetic that we have suffered the Lord’s wrath for
so long. If we repent and turn now, back to God, He promises to hear our
prayers and heal our land. I pray we will have the courage and the willingness
to be true Christians, unashamed to represent and glorify HIM, and that
we may all be part of the healing process that is so needed in our country…so
that when we meet Jesus face to face, He will know us, and we will hear
those joyous words, “well done, thy good and faithful servant.”
