July, 2008 - Election Year...VOTE FOR Values, Morals, Principles

As Christians we will be held accountable by Almighty God for our decisions when casting our votes. It is a great responsibility that each of us has to make careful selections when choosing a candidate to vote for. It is our responsibility to find out what each candidate stands for and to check their voting records to see what they have supported on our behalf. These voting records are easily accessible by going to http://www.votesmart.org/. Here you can enter your zip code which will provide you with the names of all candidates in your state and their voting records plus the bills they are currently a part of or have sponsored in the past. Here you will find out what their moral values and principles are, whether they stand for or against abortion, gay rights, pornography, property rights, protection rights, whether they are firmly grounded on the truths of the Bible or if they are being tossed to-and-fro by secular humanism reasoning. You will be able to determine if they are speaking one thing from their mouths to the public and doing something entirely different in their actions. This upcoming election is undoubtable one of the most important elections in our nation's history. There are more people interested and active throughout our nation for this election than ever in our history. There is a very large contingency of secular humanists who are going to cast their votes in this election for candidates who support their agenda of gay marriage, pornography, removing Jesus and God from our society, forbidding chaplains and ministers of the gospel of Jesus Christ from speaking God's truths and using the name of Jesus in their prayers, and on-and-on the list goes towards the moral decay of America. The Christians of our great nation are well aware of these agendas and well organized to defeat those who would tear our nation's moral foundation down. Let's all continue to stand together in the name of Jesus with our prayers for America, calling upon God's mighty power and leadership in this election. We stand united in the cause for restoring our nation to the Christian principles of leadership and blessings our nation was founded upon. DO YOUR PART IN THIS ELECTION by spreading the word as Christians united taking a stand for Christian values and leadership in this election!! May God bless America.

March, 2008 - Bush's Judge Appointees Blocked by Democrats
The Senate Judiciary Committee has been relentless in using a filibuster tactic to prevent Bush's appointed judicial nominees from taking office. Breaking with Senate tradition, these liberal commitee members have killed nominations that have the support of a majority of senators but lack the 60 votes needed to break the filibusters. The bottom line is this...liberal democrats do not want President Bush appointed conservative Judges with Christian principles and values making decisions in America's courtrooms. President Bush, who has consistently stated that he is a Christian and will appoint leaders with Christian morals, ethics and values, is trying to do just that for the benefit of America's future. A good example of what America can expect if the Democrat filibustering is allowed to continue is found in the Ninth Circuit Court: This court is comprised of 18 (72%) of 25 members being democrats. Fourteen (56%) of them were appointed by Bill Clinton. This is the court that said landlords must rent to shacked-up couples despite their religious objections, that the Constitution contains rights to assisted suicide and to conduct government business in foreign languages, and that cities can discriminate against religious groups in opening their parks to community events. The U.S. Supreme Court reverses the Ninth Circuit three to four times as often as any other court. President Bush is trying to stop the moral erosion of America by placing men and women of Christian values into judicial seats across America. America's Youth for Truth will continue to encourage those who stand for Christian values to write or call their representatives with the message to stop this unprecedented irresponsible tactic of filibustering highly respectable and qualified justices and allow them to serve honorably in the best interest of our country's future.
October, 2007 - Chaplains Fired for Praying in Public
U.S. Navy Chaplain Gordon James Klingenschmitt was court-martialed for praying in Jesus name while in uniform at a public forum. According to Navy policy, chaplains were not allowed to voice their faith in uniform when not on duty at the time this occured. Because of public outcry, congress demanded that this policy be changed and it has been. However, the Navy continued with the court-martial of Chaplain Klingenschmitt and he and his family lost their 15 year pension and housing. Chaplain Klingenschmitt is now supporting his family thru speaking engagements around the nation. You can contact him at chaplaingate@yahoo.com and learn more about his ministry at www.prayinjesusname.org. In another related story, hospital Chaplain Danny Harvey was fired by the Leesburg Regional Medical Center, Leesburg FLa. for praying in Jesus name on September 14th, 2007. There has been a heavy outpouring of public support for each of these Chaplains and their families however neither has been reinstated to date. Obviously these attacks are being aimed at the name of Jesus and Christians who are taking a stand for their faith and trust in Jesus. As Jesus clearly stated, "If they persecuted me, they will surely persecute you". And in the end, "Every knee shall bow and every tongue shall confess that Jesus Christ is Lord". So, stand fast brothers and sisters and continue to profess the name of Jesus for, as He promised, He will never leave you or forsake you! In the strength and guidance of the Lord, let us all continue to stand up for the God's Truth!
April 18, 2007 - Partial Birth Abortion Ban Upheld by Supreme Court
A significant victory for protecting God created human life took place today when the United States Supreme Court upheld the partial-birth abortion ban introduced by legislation in 2003. The court upheld the ban by a vote of 5 to 4 with George Bush's two recent court appointees, Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Samuel Alito, tipping the scales in favor of prolifers and Christians throughout America. Justices Anthony Kennedy, Antonio Scalia and Clarence Thomas also voted in favor of the ban. Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Stephen Breyer, John Paul Stevens, and David Souter shamefully dissented. Thank God for the wisdom He gave to President Bush to appoint Justices who were willing to stand-up for the lives of hundreds of thousands of children who will be allowed from this day forward to enjoy the life God has breathed into each one of them. This court decision is the first positive step taken to halt abortions since 1973 Roe vs Wade and will prevent the slaughtering of unborn fetus's in the hundreds of thousands. Praise God for this Great Victory!
STOP the ACLU
H.R. 2679 (PERA) Public Expression of Religion Act, introduced by Rep. John Hostettler, Republican from Indiana has passed the House (9-26-06) and will come before the Senate soon. This critical legislation will protect taxpayers from having to pay huge attorney fees to ACLU lawyers in lawsuits under the Establishment of Religion Clause of the First Amendment against veterans memorials, the Boy Scouts of America, or the public display of the Ten Commandments and other symbols of America's history with a religious aspect. The ACLU has been utilizing taxpayer money for years to attack the Christian foundation of our nation through a continuing stream of lawsuits to remove any reference of God from America's history or America's present. This legislation will prevent the use of taxpayer money for the ACLU. It is urgent that each one of us contact our state representatives for their support of this bill, H.R. 2679. Things you should know about the ACLU...The founder of the ACLU, Roger Baldwin made the following statement, "My chief aversion is the system of greed, private profit, privilege and violence which makes up the control of the world today, and which has brought it to the tragic crisis of unprecedented hunger and unemployment. Therefore, I am for Socialism, disarmament and ultimately, for the abolishing of the State itself. I seek the social ownership of property, the abolition of the propertied class and sole control of those who produce wealth. Commmunism is the goal." The ACLU is anti-Christian as demonstrated by: They oppose tax exemptions for all churches. They are against Christianity in schools but silent on other religious teaching in schools. They stand against the mention of the name of Jesus, crosses on County seals, any display of the Ten Commandments. They support abortion and euthanasia but stand against capital punishment. They are constantly attacking the Boy Scouts of America by lawsuits against their free speech right to exclude gays from their organization. They are threatening schools and fighting in courts to get their charters shut down and they oppose the military support of Boy Scouts and will sue the pants off of any school that attempts to charter them. They have stated that child pornography was protected by the First Amendment. And the list goes on and on. Do not let their name fool you (American Civil Liberties Union). Of course they are involved in defending the civil liberties of Americans in some important issues but this is simply a respectable cover to allow them to pursue their real purpose for America. The ACLU is the single most responsible entity for the continuing erosion of the Christian foundation of our nation and their efforts will remain concerted unless we work together to stop them.
6th Anniversary of 9/11
I am sure that most everyone remembers where they were when they heard the shocking news about the attack on the World Trade Center in New York City and the Pentagon in Washington D.C. As President Franklin Roosevelt said when Pearl Harbor was attacked by the Japanese to trigger America's involvement in WWII, "this day will live in infamy." September 11, 2001 will always be in the minds of most all citizens of the United States. It is a day we will remember all of our lives and we should for many reasons. One of those reasons is americans became united in their stand against terrorism and proud of the freedom America has stood for since its birth as a nation in 1776. Americans were reminded of the sacrifices required by each one of us to maintain the freedom and liberty we have enjoyed as americans. Many lives were saved that day because of the bravery of public servants and heroic citizens who stepped forward to help others. As a result of 9/11, America has had a wake-up call and we are now much more prepared to ward off future terrorist attacks and, in fact, have already stopped planned attacks of terrorism. However, the most important wake-up call for America is still in question. Have we, as Americans, considered the moral corruption which has been taking place in our nation for decades...inch by inch, step by step, compromise by compromise? Have we, as privilaged citizens of a country which was founded upon the precepts of God's word by Godly men who sought the blessings of our Creator as they founded our nation, forgotten how we became a great nation under God? We cannot expect the protection and blessings of Almighty God unless we turn to Him in repentence and seek His counsel and guidance as a nation. I think this is the great lesson we should take from 9/11! 2 Chronicles 7:14 - "If my people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn away from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land." We should all meditate and act upon those words!
Da Vinci Code Myth

Most everyone has now heard about the book, The Da Vinci Code, (40 million copies sold) authored by Dan Brown and in 2006 released as a blockbuster movie in theaters around the world directed by Ron Howard who, in another life, was the much loved little Opie of the popular Andy Griffith television series. Do not be deceived by the book or the movie as they are based entirely on nonsense and lies. The book is about a non-existent code to provide clues to uncover suppressed evidence about a marriage between Jesus Christ and Mary Magdalene which never took place. There is no evidence whatsoever that Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of God and Savior of the world was married. The historical truths of the Bible completely refute this lie. Brown writes that an organization created to keep alive the alledged hidden truth about the marriage between Jesus and Mary dates back to 1099. The truth about that organization, the Priory of Sion, goes back just 50 years when a French anti-semitic mentally unstable con man named Pierre Plantard contrived it on whole cloth. So, the secret organization which the book is based upon, was invented just 50 years ago which means the book is based upon a lie from the outset. When you base your story in history upon a lie then what follows in that story is always going to be untruths. This is exactly what the Da Vinci Code has done and to put it in perspective one can go directly to the source for truth...the Bible. 2nd Timothy 4:3 says "For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers; and they will turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned to fables." This book and movie is a desecration of biblical truth.
