Subject: Breaking ~ Oral Roberts Dead at 91

[sent by Tom Mack]

Here is the official statement out of Oral Roberts University. It did not say how he died, but is an interesting obituary. Very well worded to leave out some of the more objectionable events of his life. I notice first off that there is no mentioned of his affiliation with the United Methodist Church, his former affiliation with the Pentecostal Holiness Church, or his “threat” that if people did not give him enough money, that “God was going to take him home.” It should be equally noted that the books he published were likely ghostwritten and given to contributors. On his seventies television show, he often gave away his books. All you have to do was give him your name and address, and then be subjected to his fundraising.

He and Rev. Ike were the fathers of the “seed-faith” movement which gave us the concept that if you give him money, G_d is supposedly obligated to make you rich. It was his concept that gave us PTL Club and later Trinity Broadcasting Network (TBN). Many considered him a modern Elmer Gantry, and their assessments may be justified. His university does seem to generate good Basketball teams. As for academics, I am not so sure.

Chancellor Oral Roberts

January 24, 1918 - December 15, 2009

http://www.oru.edu/the_new_oru/images/oral_roberts.jpgOral Roberts, C.A., M. Div., LL.D., born January 24, 1918, is recognized as one of the outstanding personalities of his generation. Educator, evangelist, businessman, author, and television personality are among the many titles for which Roberts has gained acclaim. He received his formal education at Oklahoma Baptist and Phillips Universities. In 1947 he started his evangelistic ministry to pray for the healing of the whole man. He has conducted more than 300 crusades on six continents, and has appeared as guest speaker for hundreds of national and international meetings and conventions.

Oral Roberts has authored more than 120 books, including his autobiography, Expect a Miracle and Miracle of Seed-Faith, with nearly eight million copies in circulation. As part of his work as an author, Roberts published several written commentaries on the Bible, as well as a complete commentary on cassette tape: Oral Roberts Reading the New Testament with His Life's Teachings. The 48-tape set includes the reading of Scriptures, a personal comment on each passage of the New Testament, and prayers. This is also available in book form.

The university that bears Oral Roberts' name was chartered in 1963 and accepted its first students in 1965. Roberts is also the founder of Oral Roberts Evangelistic Association (OREA) as well as University Village, a retirement complex for 450 residents.

In 1981 Roberts founded the City of Faith Medical and Research Center, the largest health facility of its kind in the world, in order to merge the healing streams of prayer and medicine as God had revealed it to him. The City of Faith was in operation for eight years and closed in late 1989, having revolutionized the medical world's concept of primary patient care and the importance of treating the whole person–spirit, mind, and body. Today the facility, known as CityPlex Towers, is home to a wide variety of businesses, including healthcare, telecommunications, publishing and software development companies.

Roberts has been active in Tulsa community life. He served on the boards of the Bank of Oklahoma and Oklahoma Natural Gas and is a lifetime member and a Harris Fellow of Rotary International. Extremely proud of his Oklahoma and Indian heritage, Roberts was honored in 1963 as "Indian of the Year" by the American Indian Exposition. In 1973, he was inducted into the Oklahoma Hall of Fame, and in 1974, he was named Oklahoman of the Year by the American Broadcasters Association. He received an honorary doctor of laws degree from Centenary College in 1975 and an honorary doctor of divinity degree from the International Church of the Foursquare Gospel in 1988.

Roberts was born on January 24, 1918, in Pontotoc County, Oklahoma. He was the fifth and youngest child of Rev. and Mrs. Ellis M. Roberts. He married the late Evelyn Roberts on December 25, 1938. He is the father of four children: the late Mrs. Rebecca Nash, the late Ronald Roberts, Richard Roberts, and Mrs. Roberta Potts. He has 13 grandchildren, one of whom is in heaven, and several great-grandchildren.

Ambassador Bridge owners sue FHWA to suppress safety report

http://www.tollroadsnews.com/node/4379
Posted on Mon, 2009-09-28 22:01

* ambassador bridge
* condition
* safety

Detroit International Bridge Company (DIBC) owners of the Ambassador
Bridge, Detroit-Windsor have filed suit to prevent Federal Highway
Administration (FHWA) from releasing an annual safety and condition
report.  They claim in the suit filed in US District Court in Detroit
that release of the report would:

-  jeopardize national security

- breach a 2004 Gateway Agreement to which the FHWA was a party

- violate the national Critical Infrastructures Protection Act passed
in the wake of the attacks of 9/11/2001

FHWA received a freedom of information act request for the report,
according to one local account, from the office of US Congressman John
Dingell (Dem Detroit.)

The bridge company which built the toll suspension bridge in the 1920s
and owns it in perpetuity under a city charter is also waging a legal
and political battle to prevent construction of a competing toll
bridge a couple of miles (3km) downstream.

The bridge company is also accused of squatting on city land by the
riverfront to provide space for a second or replacement span,
approaches of which have been built, right alongside the 1920s span.
On the US side this would be easily linked to I-75 but on the Canadian
side it is linked only to local streets in Windsor.

The Ambassador Bridge is the major trucking route between Canada and
the US, although traffic has declined by a third in the past few years
along with drastic loss of viability of automobile companies
manufacturing nearby in Ontario and Michigan.

Tiger Woods isn't the only one with a scandal on his hands, Glenn has one too. Yes, Glenn has been caught talking about one of his radio sponsors! The horrors!  We know the nitwits on the left are desperate to convict Glenn of something, anything--and this is apparently the best they have. The charge?  Glenn actually believes in a product and company he talks about.  And he says that company is a sponsor every day.  Some would call this honesty in advertising...but not the left.  (Judging by their ratings, perhaps they're not familiar with the concept of advertising at all.)  Should Glenn only talk about companies and products that he doesn't believe in?  We're not sure. So, just for the morons out there complaining about Glenn and Gold, here is his 'apology' in the latest Beck Talks video blog.  WATCH


 
Glenn's movie recommendations

Glenn actually went out and saw a couple of movies this weekend, and they didn't have anything to do with progressivism or Marxism (although, a Marxist Progressive probably wrote them). What were the movies Glenn selected? Let's just say that Glenn pulled a December surprise and went the Sandra Bullock road. Did he lose his man card? Not like he still had it, but still. Glenn talked about it on radio this morning.  ( Transcript, Insider Audio)

Convicted Felon calls in...

Liberal bloggers have been doing their level best to defend the good name of convicted felon Robert Creamer. He's the progressive who wrote what Obama's top advisor David Axelrod calls the 'blueprint' for progressive victories. An alleged convicted felon called into the program today to try and argue on behalf of the other convicted felon (Creamer). It does not end well (for the caller). Check it out here.

[from GeorgeAnn Hughes - The Byte Show]
Global warming science is "settled" they say for public consumption,
but privately...
Posted on Mon, 2009-12-14 02:18
http://www.tollroadsnews.com/node/4491
* climategate
* global warming
* huckers
* pseudo-science

In public pronouncements the warmists - the ideologists of global
warming - tell us that the science is "settled." Global temperatures
are on an inexorable and dangerous upward trend, they claim. That's
because we drive naughty gasoline automobiles and other devices
emitting carbon dioxide, that increase concentrations of manmade CO2
in the atmosphere. The 'greenhouse effect', they claim, threatens the
earth's ecosystem with irreparable damage unless those bad bad CO2
emissions are drastically curbed.

All this supposedly settled science is the basis for the recent
international summit in Copenhagen, proposed 'cap and trade'
legislation in the US Congress, and a radical shift of resources away
from roads to supposedly more 'sustainable' modes proposed by House
transportation chair James Oberstar in his 775 page 6-year Surface
Transportation Authorization Act HB44.

see http://transportation.house.gov/Media/file/Highways/HPP/OBERST_044

The settled science behind global warming is also claimed by the USEPA
as justification for the December 7 "Endangerment Finding" and "Cause
or Contribute Finding(s)" that emissions of CO2 and other greenhouse
gases "threaten public health and welfare," laying the basis for a
whole new regulatory regime restricting use of automobiles and other
combustion-powered devices.

see http://www.epa.gov/climatechange/endangerment.html

What would that do to toll revenues?

There are several big problems with the whole warmist/greenhouse gas
supression agenda:

(1) A huge number of scientists don't agree that the science is
settled.

Indeed over 30,000 scientists have signed a petition saying "there is
no convincing scientific evidence that human release of carbon
dioxide, methane, or other greenhouse gases will in the foreseeable
future cause catastrophic heating..." (reproduced nearby)

see http://www.petitionproject.org/

(2) A whistleblower's release of thousands of private emails from the
center of global warming pseudo-science at the Climate Research Unit
of the University of East Anglia in the UK shows that many of the
leading warmists themselves are in a panic over the failure of the
earth's atmosphere to conform to the projections of their alarmist
theory.

see http://www.eastangliaemails.com for a whole searchable database of
the UEA/CRU emails

For example Kevin Trenberth a 'scientist' on the US government payroll
emailed a bunch of other leading warmists:

"The fact is that we can't account for the lack of warming at the
moment and it is a
travesty that we can't."

http://www.eastangliaemails.com/emails.php?eid=1048&filename=1255352257.txt

Note his phrase: "lack of warming"!

For almost ten years now the trend of global mean temperatures has
been flat, or if anything, a decline, not the inexorable rise in
global temperatures that the warmists publicly proclaim, and which
their theory demands.

In their private communications these academics and socalled research
scientists who have made careers out of the global warming gravy-train
discuss how to discredit skeptics and how to prevent them being
published.

They scheme against editors who publish skeptics.

They talk about "tricks" they use with temperature data to "hide the
decline."

Warmist Phil Jones at UEA/CRU threatened in private emails to destroy
original temperature data rather than be forced to release it under
freedom of information laws - so desperate are they to conceal the
very unsettled state of the "science."

Jones' university at least has put him on "leave" and instituted an
inquiry following publication of his
"I'll-destroy-data-rather-than-hand-it-over" email.

Bjorn Lomborg writes:

"What seems to have motivated the scientists involved in Climategate
was the arrogant belief that that the way to save the world was to
conceal or misrepresent ambiguous and contradictory findings about
global warming that might “confuse” the public. But substituting spin
for scientific rigor is a terrible strategy.

"So, too, is continuing to embrace a response to global warming that
has failed for nearly two decades. Instead of papering over the flaws
in the Kyoto approach and pretending that grand promises translate
into real action, we need to acknowledge that saving the world
requires a smarter strategy than the one being pursued so dogmatically
in Copenhagen."

http://www.project-syndicate.org

Capt Obama sails on oblivious

So far the US ship of state under Captain Obama plows ahead full steam
on its CO2-restrictive course as if nothing has happened.

But our Christmas at least will be brightened by this Climategate
medley from Minnesotans for Global Warming featuring many of the
leading warmists:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dpQXY4tWaoI&NR=1

It follows "Hide the Decline" a little musical featuring the most
frenetic of the warmists Michael Mann of Penn State (CORRECTION):

http://junkscience.com/

There's a whole long history of pseudo-scientific scares like global
warming.

see http://kestencgreen.com/green&armstrong-agw-analogies.pdf

Perhaps the best comment is one made back in 2003 by Michael Crichton
in a talk at Caltech:

"Nobody believes a weather prediction twelve hours ahead. Now we're
asked to believe a prediction that goes 100 years into the future? And
make financial investments based on that prediction? Has everyone lost
their minds?"

LATE ADDITION: they really exist!

APOLOGIES: Apologies to University of Pennsylvania who we incorrectly
identified as hosting Michael Mann, the most shrieky of the warmists.
He's at Penn State.

Door's Open - C'mon In

Last week, someone with the Transportation Safety Administration posted online a top secret manual of scurity screening procedures.  If you were looking for ways to circumvent airport security, this is your how-to guide.

Among the goodies posed were templates of easily copied CIA, congressional and law enforcement ID's. The 93-page pdf file includes all kinds of tricks of the trade, including a list of things that the airport screening X-ray machines can't pick up.

The manual contains all kinds of insights, such as the fact tht TSA agents may only use blacklight authentication of passports 25% of the time, meaning the odds of getting through with a fake passport better than even.

The TSA eventually took it down, but once something is on the web, it is never 'taken down'.  I found a complete copy in one Google search.

Another odd incident involving the TSA took place in Atlanta on November 17 aboard Flight 297.  There is an email going viral written by one Tedd Petruna, telling of a harrowing ordeal and his heroic response aboard an Airtrans flight as it moved across the runway into takeoff position.

Petruna told of a dozen or so Muslim men who began disrupting the flight as it prepared for takeoff. 

As the plane left the gate to taxi to the runway, were using cell phones to call each other on the plane, distracting two stewardesses, and exhibiting other bizarre, threatening, and defiant behavior that terrified the passengers and flight crew.

Petruna said the pilot returned to the jetway where the twelve men were removed by the TSA.  Ten minutes later, they were all cleared to fly and returned to the plane.

Petruna said the pilot and crew walked off, refusing to fly with them onboard, as did the entire planeload of passengers.  The flight was delayed while AirTrans located a new crew.

AirTrans immediately began to discredit the email, saying Petruna was never on the flight to begin with, before denying his account, point by point.  That seemed both unusual and unnecessary, especially if Petruna wasn't on the flight in the first place.

AirTrans told a highly sanitized version in which a passenger who didn't speak English failed to understand an order not to use his cellphone, causing the plane to return to the gate.

The facts not in dispute are the following.   There were more than a dozen men involved.  There was a disturbance. The plane returned to the gate. The flight crew was replaced. More than a dozen passengers refused to reboard the aircraft.

The problem for AirTrans' 'explanation' is that Petruna wasn't alone on the flight.  One passenger named Brent Brown was interviewed by WSB TV,  another, Chaplain Keith Robinson, by KHOU TV in Houston.

Both their accounts sounded a lot more like Tedd Petruna's account (only without Petruna's heroic self-embellishments) than they do AirTrans. 

I wasn't on the plane, but I was a police officer for many years and I've conducted uncounted witness interviews.  No two interviewees remembers a situation exactly the same way -- if it actually happened.

If they did, it was a dead giveaway they were lying.  Those passengers that were on the plane didn't all remember the same details, but the details they do remember tell the larger story -- and it doesn't resemble the official Air Trans version at all.

AirTrans undoubtedly also interviewed the witnesses, particularly the members of the first crew and the twelve passengers who refused to reboard the aircraft. 

So why the coverup?

Assessment:

These are just a couple of recent security-related oddities that have been suppressed by the administration and/or the mainstream news media.  There are more, but these are still in the news. 

Taken together with other recent developments, one can discern an emerging pattern. . .

Ever since making the announcement, I've been racking my brain trying to understand what is behind Eric Holder's decision to bring Khalid Sheik Mohammed and his co-conspirators to New York for a civilian trial. 

I don't believe Holder's explanation that it 'sends a message' about the purity of American justice for a second.  Holder was the guy who vetted and approved the presidential pardon for Marc Rich.  

Justice is blind -- Eric Holder isn't.  He knows what he is doing - he's a team player. That's how he got to be Attorney-General.

Holder's decision automatically affords them all Consitutional protections. Under the Constitution, they weren't arrested, they were kidnapped.  They weren't advised of their right to silence, they were 'tortured' into confessing.

None of the evidence obtained against them was obtained legally.  No warrants were issued or served.  No chain of custody was maintained.  They were not legally extradited. 

If it were really about the Constitutional rule of law, which is the heart of his argument,  then Holder would have no choice but to release them as soon as they touched US soil. Even if there were a case against them, under the Constitution, it is subject to dismissal on any one of a dozen Constitutional grounds.

Which is why, until now, they were to be tried as enemy combatants before a military tribunal.

But since we're really not giving them full Constitutional rights and since this is just a show trial, why have it?   At first blush, I suspected it was really intended as a venue to put the Bush administration on trial, but I'm not so sure. 

No doubt the Left would be delighted with the prospect,  but that's a lot of bucks for not much bang, since  Bush can't ever run again. It isn't that I doubt they are that petty, but there has to be more than that.

This is where it starts to get really dark. What if it isn't about the trial or the Constitution or KSM at all?   The security implications of bringing those dirtbags to New York is unthinkably dangerous. 

There is a fatwa in existence calling on all faithful jihadis to help free those imprisoned by the infidels. Terrorism is the use of violence to coerce a government -- in this case, to release KSM and his co-conspirators -- and New York is FILLED with potential targets.  

The city is estimating security costs in the neighborhood of $75 million.  Even NYPD can't be everywhere.   

Holder can brag about how America would 'stand firm' under the threat of terrorist blackmail until he is blue in the face.  Why put America in a position where that firmness need be tested?  

Bringing them to New York practically guarantees new attacks.  Bringing al-Qaeda's top operatives to New York is like waving a red flag in front of a raging bull.  It is inviting new attacks. It makes no sense. 

Or does it?  We've discussed the 'false-flag' scenario before.  President Obama claims to be a great admirer of FDR and a student of his governing style.  

In that regard, it is worth keeping in mind that many historians believe FDR had advance knowledge of the impending attack on Pearl Harbor and allowed it to go forward unimpeded. 

FDR needed something to overcome the American pacifist movement and his own campaign promises to keep America out of the war.  While Pearl Harbor wasn't purely a 'false flag' operation, neither would a terrorist campaign aimed at getting KSM and the others released from custody in New York.

But it would be a convenient crisis, given the overall agenda. And it was Rahm Emmanuel's stated policy to 'never let a good crisis go to waste'. 

Why post the TSA security handbook online?  Why cover up a terrorist dry run effort? Why hamstring our military operations overseas by introducing law enforcement rules of engagement?  Why fight efforts to curtail illegal immigration? 

Why, oh why, bring KSM and Company to New York and afford them Constitutional rights that nullify the criminal case against them?  And the biggest 'why?' of all -- why are they acting as if there won't be a voter backlash in 2010?

A lot can happen between now and November.  Maybe by next November, what with the renewed threat against domestic targets,  it won't be 'safe' to hold elections. 

In a normal world, that would sound paranoid.   Maybe it is paranoid. But 'normal' is a word that has taken on the exact opposite meaning in recent years. 

And it is only paranoia if it isn't true.

This article is almost conspicuous by its absence. I wonder how many other Obamavilles are appearing all over the country that we are not finding out about? With unemployment reaching decade highs, these places must be cropping up in places other than Colorado Springs, Colorado. The picture is very telling.

'Welcome to Obamaville' Sign At Homeless Tent City, Media Mum

http://newsbusters.org/static/2009/12/%27Welcome%20to%20Obamaville%27%20Sign%20At%20Colorado%20Tent%20City,%20Media%20Mum.jpgA sign reading "Welcome to Obamaville Colorado's Fastest Growing Community" appeared at a homeless tent city in Colorado Springs this week.

You probably didn't hear about it because outside of two Colorado television stations nobody found this newsworthy.

By contrast, when word got out in March of a tent city in Sacramento, California, news media couldn't get enough of the story.

Is it because that happened so soon after Inauguration Day that it could easily be blamed on George W. Bush, and that given the name given to this area that's no longer possible?

Before you answer, here's the report logged Thursday by ABC affiliate KRDO-TV (video embedded below the fold, h/t Breitbart TV):

According to LexisNexis and Google news searches, only KRDO and KJCT reported the appearance of this sign. 

By contrast, Sacramento's tent city garnered much national coverage in March. In fact, according to LexisNexis, television news outlets ABC, CBS, CNN, and NBC all covered it. 

So did the Associated Press, the New York Times, the Washington Post, and Slate.

Yet not a peep about Obamaville.

Exit question: If the Colorado Springs tent city sign read "Welcome to Bushville," do you think it would get more media attention?

Yes, that's a rhetorical question.

Obama administration 'assures Jewish evacuation'

PA official says U.S. won't counter proposal giving Temple Mount to Palestinians

JERUSALEM – Members of the Obama administration recently assured the Palestinian Authority that most Jewish communities in the strategic West Bank will be evacuated, a top PA official told WND yesterday.

The official also said Obama will soon offer the Palestinians a public pledge that a Palestinian state will encompass most of the West Bank and eastern Jerusalem with the exception of what is known as the three main settlement blocs – Ariel, Gush Etzion and Maale Adumim. The pledge will likely be oral and not in the form of a letter, said the PA official.

Further, both the PA official and a source in Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office told WND the Obama administration refused to counter

a European Union draft document that supports the division of Jerusalem, with the Temple Mount going to the Palestinians.

The White House yesterday issued a statement that the status of Jerusalem should be determined by Israel and the Palestinians, but the statement stopped short of countering the EU proposal.

Sweden, which currently holds the EU presidency, last week presented to Israel and the PA the draft document, which recognizes all of eastern Jerusalem – including the Temple Mount – as the capital of a future Palestinian state.

"The EU will not recognize any changes to the pre-1967 borders, including with regard to Jerusalem," said the EU ministerial draft, referring to all of eastern Jerusalem.

"If there is to be a genuine peace, a way must be found through negotiations to resolve the status of Jerusalem as the future capital of two states," EU foreign ministers agreed in a statement released last Tuesday.

Israel's Foreign Ministry, for its part, warned the proposal would damage the EU's ability to be a Mideast mediator.

America’s Cancer and Sleeping Shepherds

An excerpt from message #142 "A Call to Repentance - The Inkhorn and the Firebrand!"
Nathan Leal
December 10, 2009

The Audio of this Message #142 : Listen



As I scan the horizon, I see the disturbing condition of America, a condition that glimmers like a beacon which cannot be ignored. I see a land that at this very moment is being shaken to its very core.

But at the same time, its people, including most Christians, are apathetic, spiritually complacent, and indifferent.

The shaking is beginning to awaken some individuals, but that group is very, very, small. Most of the American public is blind and has no idea that the good ole’ USA is infected with a terminal illness, an illness that she claimed by her own choosing.

What is America's illness? It is the cancer of lost morality. It is her sin of carnal excess and self-indulgence. It is a spiritual venereal disease of harlotry and idolatry!

America has made it known to the entire world, that she is proud of her deviant rejection of God's laws and statutes. The report of her waywardness and fornication is evident in the appearance of her Christian citizens. It can be observed in how they dress. And in how they accessorize. Harlotry fashion seems to be an accepted staple in “purpose driven” Christianity.

Lost Modesty




It can be testified, that in many churches, modest apparel seems to be an expired and outdated virtue. And according to my observations, it would also seem that Britney Spears is now a Christian and attends church. Why? Because she shows up in one form or another in churches across America: at the expense of hapless young man trying to worship God, standing in the row behind her.

Are the pastors saying anything about this? No! Why not? Because they are too busy also dressing - “cool!"

And what a tragedy it is, when young men say that they had to quit going to church because the women at their church dressed like hookers and tempted them!

There is a deafening silence from the pulpits about modesty. In addition to the zipped lips about liberal fashion, loose morality seems to also be an orphaned subject. And sadly, this silence is successfully contributing to today's present moral climate. America's young people and her adults have an insatiable appetite to satisfy their flesh.

This hunger is testified in her movies. It is displayed in her entertainment and in her digital images. It can also be found in the carnal self portraits stored on millions of cell phones!

America once known as the land of the free and the home of the brave, is now the land of "their own desires" and home to "their own will."

America, you once taught your children the Ten Commandments. But now, you teach your young ones that chastity and moral restraint are displeasing to the New American Deity, the god of self.

The Land is Sick

America, you have thrown away your compass that pointed you to the laws of God and now your land is sick. And as a result, your visitation from the God of Heaven has arrived. America, your economic health deteriorates! And now, you are gasping for breath!

America has a cancer! She is dying! But still, the indulgent and self-confident ones think otherwise. They believe that sorrow will never visit their shores.

Part of the reason for America's blindness is that many of them have listened to the lies from the ministry of propaganda, the controlled media. The hypnotic voice that says, "Hey everybody, drink our Kool-Aid! All is well! The economy has recovered!"

Sleeping Shepherds

Another disturbing part of this apathetic trend is the participation of many pastors, who are presenting sermons that address the search for; "Your Best Life Now!"

It is amazing that the majority of American and Western pastors are out of touch with the spiritual and biblical reality of the present scenario. What scenario is that? It is the new chapter of judgment that is now arriving on the shores of the land.

And because, so many pastors have saturated their sermon schedules and church bulletins with the lopsided, "grace" message, the "holy" and "righteous" part of God has NOT been taught to the people.

The bullhorn of reality is screaming! But the pastors are silent!

The present economy of America has melted like an old candle,
... but the pastors are silent and are ignoring it!

And even though millions of people that attend church are unemployed,
... the pastors are silent and are ignoring it!

And even though more American homes have been foreclosed on in this storm, than during the first Great Depression,
... the pastors are silent and are ignoring it!

And even though city governments are laying off; policeman, firefighters, and are closing city libraries because of the lack of funds, which is a huge indicator to a financial crisis,
... the pastors are silent and are ignoring it!

And even though the voices from appointed messengers are crying out, "Repent! Judgment has arrived!" Many pastors are ignoring their cries! Instead, these many pastors are ignoring the signs and warnings and are telling their people that God does not judge!

And now the land is shaking!

Hard Hearts




The shaking is shouting with a loud voice, "People, return to the Lord your God! Return to the one who made you! Return to the only One who can sustain you and save you!"

But sadly, most people are blind and stubborn. Their worldly conscience has seared their ability to see the tidal wave that is now approaching… with a fury! Most people are also spiritually deaf. They cannot hear the mighty roaring of God's judgment tsunami!

1 Peter 4:17 says, that judgment will begin in the house of God, first! And if it first begins with us, what happens to them that do not obey the gospel?

The judgment of God is very real! And let me also say this, "We really do not have a choice! The land will shake whether we like it or not; or whether we believe it or not!"

This thing is happening very fast, my friends!

I am amazed at how quickly "world events" are occurring. I am also sobered at the thought that the present judgment is leading every one of us to an unpleasant destination. The best way to illustrate it is to say this, “We are all on a train that is traveling very quickly! This train has no breaks and just ahead of us, along the train tracks, the bridge is out! It is gone!

The typical American history cycle has expired. The Rubicon is behind us.

Now more than ever, during this season of chastisement, we need to be hearing from the throne room. Not from the mind of man or the lies of the enemy.




What lies ahead? Certainly not what I heard Joel Osteen say last night on TV, "That the year 2010 will be a year of overflowing prosperity!"

For those that have the eyes to see and ears to hear, 2010 needs to be a year of repentance and returning to God, and after that, seeking shelter for His protection and provision.

Multitudes reading these words are in the valley of decision. Doing something about this warning has a price. Doing nothing also has a price.

Jesus said to count the cost.

What will your cost be?

The door is closing my friends. Do not wait too long!
