Soul scarring is going on.
This
little boy is watching a video of the Jordanian Pilot being burned
alive playing over and over again on a large screen in an ISIS
controlled city. We keep talking about getting to the next generation
for Jesus.. and so are they for the demon called Islam.

Just so you know what the governments of the world, and our government has in mind for the future in Agenda 21 -- This is a list:
These are to be eliminated
ALL private property rights (ownership of private property)
ALL forms of irrigation, pesticides & commercial fertilizer
Livestock production and most meat consumption
Privately owned vehicles and personal travel
Use of fossil fuels for power generation or mechanized travel
Single family homes
Most forms of mineral extraction and timber harvesting
Human population reduced to fewer than 1 billion people, from the present 6 billion
Even the Nazis weren't that creative. We are at war with the ruling class.

WHAT THE PRESIDENT SAID AT THE NATIONAL PRAYER BREAKFAST AND WHY IT RAISED A FIRESTORM! - Lance Wallnau
First off, I am not one of those Christians with a visceral disliking of the President. I believe we can't "pray FOR rulers" and talk AGAINST them. That being said, when the President steps out of his office into commentary on faith at a prayer gathering he engages a different kind of conversation...and response.
ENTER the President at the National Prayer Breakfast yesterday. In case you missed it, after criticizing ISIS, the president said: "And lest we get on our high horse and think this is unique to some other place — remember that during the Crusades and the Inquisition, people committed terrible deeds in the name of Christ."
HERE is where the President went off the rails but most people missed it.
For 6 years of his presidency, he has forcefully tried to separate Islam from what terrorists who claim that faith do, in the name of it.
YESTERDAY he associated these atrocities with Christian history, sighting the Crusades and Spanish Inquisition.
This is often thrown in the face of Christians, so lets clarify the matter.
As Bishop E.W. Jackson said last night on FOX NEWS in response to the President: “I would remind the president that the Crusades began in 1096 as a response to Islamic aggression, and the fact this they had conquered the Holy Land and they were oppressing eastern Christians. And there was a response to that, so if the president is even gonna cite that as an example, then he ought to get his history complete.”
Obama didn't stop with comparing today's jihadis to Christian sins of 800 to 1,000 years ago. He spoke about Jim Crow laws. True, there were Christians in the South fighting to defend the abominable institution of slavery and they resisted Lincoln's post war Reconstruction. But there were Christian abolitionists in the North who agitated the nation into war. And there was Christian Wilberforce who eradicated it in England. Christianity is histories most civilizing agent. Should THAT not be the point a Christian makes on an occasion such as this?
By reminding us of what happened 900 years ago or with Jim Crow the President is arguing that we should not “get on our high horse” (to use his language) and judge harshly the growing up process of Islam as it evolves. Because of that history, the president said, Christians especially should be humble in assuming they have all the answers or a direct line to divine revelation.
Man. Talk about edifying the brothers at a national prayer gathering. If you were a guest hearing this (as many world leaders were) would you be inspired by the Presidents take on the role of the Gospel in shaping the progress of mankind?
The WEEK had this to say: "Churchill, in summoning the British people during the existential threat of World War II, didn't dwell on their faults — in fact, he talked about defending "Christendom" and western civilization. As Joe Scarborough said today, Obama's comments are "the equivalent of FDR, when giving a speech against Nazi Germany, going, 'Now, of course, what we did to the Indians...really bad....so we really have no room to talk about what Hitler is doing."
So the President linked the misdeeds of Christianity past with the misdeeds of Islam today.
By linking the two faiths the President is undoing the White House argument that extremists are not Islamic at all, but a terror group using the name of Islam. They are in his opinion a great deal like Christians...and Christians because of their history should be the last to judge.
See the problem? Forget theology. Does this President see the militant threat for what it is? No. He sees Islam in transition.
He does not understand the issue.
The equating of radical Islam to Christianity growing up is an error.
This isn't a right wing / left wing editorial response. Its a moment of clarity into how this President sees the worlds single greatest threat in a nuclear age. Praying his successor is less Neville Chamberlin and more Churchillian.
To be fair to my President he did say this: "Our job is not to ask that God respond to OUR NOTION OF TRUTH -- our job is to be true to Him, His word, and His commandments.... And that means we have to speak up against those who would misuse His name to justify oppression, or violence, or hatred with that fierce certainty. No God condones terror. No grievance justifies the taking of innocent lives, or the oppression of those who are weaker or fewer in number."
Thats a good speech ending - but not entirely true. This president DOES act on his "notion of truth" and has advanced it in the Gay agenda and policy toward not arming Jordan, removing troops when they were needed in Iraq to keep ISIS from coming into existence and his attitude toward working with Israel right now. He manages our 18 trillion dollar deficit based on his notion of truth.
Its "his notion" that is problematic.
May God give him great wisdom as he sets the stage for the next act of American history, and may we find a leader who actually has a notion of what is on the mind of Christ.

Who are your HEROES will determine who you will BECOME
When I was growing up we very often would have men and women come into our school in ND to show and tell inventions and business concepts they had. The entrepreneurs in our northern states were held up as heroes. We didn't have sports and entertainment heroes. Sure there was Elvis, but we had local heroes. This culture of holding up businessmen and women as paragons of what many of us aspired to become meant many of us did.
This emphasis resulted in a culture that produced many good generous
competent entrepreneurs. I hope I can count myself among them.
Now we have a culture of younger men and women who see business as the enemy. See businessmen as corrupt, lazy, incompetent and exploitative. They resent what the person in business is able to earn. Yet there seems to not be the same level of resentment against sports stars, entertainers, musicians and actors who make huge money for being what they are.
For that reason the young men and women in the culture try to emulate those who they hold up as paragons of advancement. Sports Stars, Entertainment and Acting. Fame and fortune; not innovation and good business.
Our culture is much worse for it all.. and it makes me sad. When business is held in high esteem once again, our culture will be restored.

Businessmen and Businesswomen are the True Heroes of the World
What makes it possible for us to buy equipment and goods from the other side of the world?
Entrepreneurs face ancient traditions, political obstacles, taxes, and regulations, but they also have friends—people with access to capital, to knowledge, to other businesses. If they are lucky, entrepreneurs succeed. If not, they learn something new, make it even better the next time, and bring to the community something new that changes lives forever.
That is the heroic epic. The entrepreneur is the hero of our world. We do not really need the Frodos, the Luke Skywalkers, or the Buffy the Vampire Slayers. We have the Malcolm McLeans of the world. But as you all know, that is not really what popular culture thinks of capitalists and entrepreneurs today.
If you go to an average Hollywood movie, the hero is someone quite different. The scientist and the capitalist are the enemies in most Hollywood productions. That is a bit ironic, because we would not have film technology if there were no scientists, and we would not have a film industry if it were not for the capitalists. But they are presented as villains.
Some anti-globalists and people opposed to free trade are now wellpaid consultants who sit on the boards of big companies and tell them that what they do is really a bad thing and that they must accept much more corporate social responsibility. In their terms, corporate social responsibility means that what you have done so far is not social. It is not enough to create goods, services, and technologies that increase our life expectancies and save the lives of our children. No, you need to do something more. After making your profit, you need to give something back to society. Give something back to society? As if the entrepreneurs and capitalists had stolen something that belonged to society that they have to give back!
Profit is not something that we have to apologize for. Profit is proof that the capitalist has given something to society that it cherishes more than the material wealth it has given to the businessman. I must emphasize that entrepreneurs should never be grateful for a society that gives them license to act, to dream, to innovate, and to create. I think that we, the society, should be grateful to the entrepreneur and to the businessman for what they do. Entrepreneurs are the heroes of our world—that despite the risks, the hard work, the hostility from society, the envy from neighbors, and state regulations, they keep on creating, they keep on producing and trading. Without them, nothing would be there.

This is how it works, this is how it actually works
Fifty years ago a North Carolinian truck driver, Malcolm McLean, thought that there must be a more efficient way of transporting goods and components all over the world.
Back then, people would take their trucks down to the harbor. The boat would sit there for a week or so while the unionized work force slowly and steadily loaded every single piece of cargo on the boat. The reverse would happen in the destination harbor.
McLean thought, “What if I use wheel-less boxes and just put all the goods in the boxes and hoist them onto the trucks, drive down to the harbor, and then just put the unopened boxes on the ship?” In one night, McLean created modern container traffic. He reduced the cost of sending goods and components across the oceans by something like 97 percent.
It is possible for us to have a particular kind of computer, with components from all major continents on the planet, the clothes we wear, the food on our plates because of one man and his dream and a culture that did not try to stop him but instead encouraged his dreams and his visions.
And developing countries all around the world suddenly have use for their talent and their hard work—to produce what they can produce best, put it into containers, and send it somewhere else.
But technology is not enough. We also need freedom for new technology. Unless governments step out of the way and allow entrepreneurs to do their thing, none of this will happen. We know that, because there are places where modern technologies are not used because of regulations, corruption, and government intervention.
If you are sending one truckload of fruit from South Africa to Zimbabwe, it costs you more in time, bribes, fees to the government, and taxes than it would cost to send the same truckload of fruit from South Africa all the way to the United States.
If this were to happen today, it is probable that Unions and Government would stop such innovation. It would rob jobs...like President Obama said that ATMs rob Tellers of Jobs.

In Praise of Business
Entrepreneurs, innovators and businesses have turned luxuries that not even kings could afford into low-priced everyday items at your local store.
History shows us that freedom works. During 1,000 years of absolute monarchy, feudalism, and slavery, mankind’s average income increased by about 50 percent. In the 180 years since 1820, mankind’s average income has increased by almost 1,000 percent.
During the last 100 years, we have created more wealth, reduced poverty more, and increased life expectancy more than in the previous 100,000 years. That happened because of entrepreneurs, thinkers, creators and innovators who had new ideas, who traveled geographical distances and, more important, mental distances to create new things and who saw to it that old traditions, which would have stopped new creations, would not stop them for long.

Obama is meeting with the Muslim brotherhood right now. Just so you
know, in 1991 the Muslim Brotherhood laid out it's strategy: “The
Ikhwan [Muslim Brotherhood] must understand that their work in America
is a kind of grand Jihad in eliminating and destroying the Western
civilization from within and ‘sabotaging’ its miserable house by their
hands and the hands of the believers so that it is eliminated and God’s
religion is made victorious over all other religions.” All they need to
succeed is a few useful Idiots to help them and they are with one
today. The muslim brotherhood is considered a terrorist group in Saudi
Arabia, Egypt and the UAE. To do this on the day after that horrid
video is just pure tonedeafness
The
Obama administration has a soft spot in its heart for the jihadist
Muslim Brotherhood. Just last month, the U.S. State Department went out

Horrors
This
is brutality beyond understanding, reminiscent of the holocost except
in the holacost the Jews were first killed then burned. In this case
they burn this poor pilot alive. The pictures are here showing him
being burned to death. I know it upsets people to see these images I
have not posted hardly anything prior to this including the beheadings
but this is the limit. We must eradicate this cancer from the face of
the earth once and for all.
When the news of the burning of that Pilot alive by ISIS came, I had this thought, no matter his religion, he faced death, his end with fearlessness. I admired him. He didn't look his enemy in the eye, he didn't cry out, he died well. He Faced HIS END.
This time we are in was part of the prophetic component in the book. Here are the chapter titles:

To Hell With It
I have shared what I know to be true about heaven. BUT.. if I told you
want I know about hell... hell would have to be paid because I would
step on some theological toes and kill some sacred cows. Here's a trick
question, what does the BIBLE, you know that big old dusty book over
there, REALLY have to say about hell? For real. Actually. If you truly
stripped away Dante and read what the book says, what is hell? I am
asking a rhetorical question, don't really want an answer. I wish people
would be willing to strip away all they have been taught (badly) and
research it for themselves.
Suckers
I
know there is lots of christian buzz about Katy Perry's halftime show
at the superbowl. One good man makes all kinds of prophetic meaning out
of it. Another notes that she made some good christian tweets and
such. We are such suckers. Christians. We are ready to hang Joel
Osteen and Joseph Prince for hypergrace and soft gospel but are drooling
over a sliver of hope from a celebrity. I think we need to call it
what it is and not get sucked into the whole star making machinery and
our response to it.
Stupid Liberals
Whenever
I get into one of those pointless arguments about Right to Work, Unions
and Minimum wage I think of this formative Point made by Loehle Gast
long ago:
“I bargained with Life for a penny,
And Life would pay no more,
However I begged at evening
When I counted my scanty store;
“I bargained with Life for a penny,
And Life would pay no more,

For Life is just an employer,
He gives you what you ask,
But once you have set the wages,
Why, you must bear the task.
I worked for a menial's hire,
Only to learn, dismayed,
That any wage I had asked of Life,
Life would have gladly paid.”
― Jessie B. Rittenhouse
No one ever has to stay at a minimum wage Job. Only skill and ability (not education or union affiliation) has the capacity to bring you up. You can't legislate income. That's a choice.

I
have been thinking about the Psychology behind the decision to throw
and not run the ball in the last 20 seconds of the Superbowl. I can't
prove it, but somehow deep inside Pete Carrol's mind the disgusting
image of Marshawn Lynch pooping the ball out in the end zone has to have
played a part. Maybe not consciously, but in the back of his mind
somewhere. So they lost. Maybe it was for the best.. who knows what
Lynch might have done if he had been the hero of the game.. I can only
imagine. Class can't be bought, just developed and Marshawn has none. http://www.nfl.com/…/seahawks-pete-carroll-explains-illfate…

In
a mother’s womb were two babies. One asked the other: “Do you believe
in life after delivery?” The other replied, “Why, of course. There has
to be something after delivery. Maybe we are here to prepare ourselves for what we will be later.”
“Nonsense” said the first. “There is no life after delivery. What kind of life would that be?”
“Nonsense” said the first. “There is no life after delivery. What kind of life would that be?”
The second said, “I don’t know, but there will be more light than here.
Maybe we will walk with our legs and eat from our mouths. Maybe we will
have other senses that we can’t understand now.”
The first replied, “That is absurd. Walking is impossible. And eating with our mouths? Ridiculous! The umbilical cord supplies nutrition and everything we need. But the umbilical cord is so short. Life after delivery is to be logically excluded.”
The second insisted, “Well I think there is something and maybe it’s different than it is here. Maybe we won’t need this physical cord anymore.”
The first replied, “Nonsense. And moreover if there is life, then why has no one has ever come back from there? Delivery is the end of life, and in the after-delivery there is nothing but darkness and silence and oblivion. It takes us nowhere.”
“Well, I don’t know,” said the second, “but certainly we will meet Mother and she will take care of us.”
The first replied “Mother? You actually believe in Mother? That’s laughable. If Mother exists then where is She now?”
The second said, “She is all around us. We are surrounded by her. We are of Her. It is in Her that we live. Without Her this world would not and could not exist.”
Said the first: “Well I don’t see Her, so it is only logical that She doesn’t exist.”
To which the second replied, “Sometimes, when you’re in silence and you focus and you really listen, you can perceive Her presence, and you can hear Her loving voice, calling down from above.” - Útmutató a Léleknek

A GERMAN'S VIEW OF ISLAM
This is by far the best explanation of the Muslim terrorist situation I have ever read.The author's references to past history are accurate and clear. It's not a lengthy read, it's easy to understand, and it's well worth the read.
The author of this email is Dr.Emanuel Tanya, a well-known and well-respected psychiatrist.
A man, whose family was German aristocracy prior to World War II, owned a number of large industries and estates.
When he was asked how many German people were true Nazis, the answer he gave can guide our attitude toward fanaticism.
'Very few people were true Nazis,' he said, 'but many enjoyed the return of German pride, and many more were too busy to care. I was one of those who just thought the Nazis were a bunch of fools. So, the majority just sat back and let it all happen. Then, before we knew it, they owned us, and we had lost control, and the end of the world had come.
My family lost everything. I ended up in a concentration camp and the Allies destroyed my factories.'
We are told again and again by 'experts' and 'talking heads' that Islam is the religion of peace and that the vast majority of Muslims just want to live in peace. Although this unqualified assertion may be true, it is entirely irrelevant. It is meaningless fluff, meant to make us feel better, and meant to somehow diminish the spectre of fanatics rampaging across the globe in the name of Islam.
The fact is that the fanatics rule Islam at this moment in history.
It is the fanatics who march.
It is the fanatics who wage any one of 50 shooting wars worldwide.It is the fanatics who systematically slaughter Christian or tribal groups throughout Africa and are gradually taking over the entire continent in an Islamic wave.
It is the fanatics who bomb, behead, murder, or honor-kill. It is the fanatics who take over mosque after mosque.
It is the fanatics who zealously spread the stoning and hanging of rape victims and homosexuals.
It is the fanatics who teach their young to kill and to become suicide bombers.
The hard, quantifiable fact is that the peaceful majority, the 'silent majority,' is cowed and extraneous.
Communist Russia was comprised of Russians who just wanted to live in peace, yet the Russian Communists were responsible for the murder of about 20 million people. The peaceful majority were irrelevant.
China's huge population was peaceful as well, but Chinese Communists managed to kill a staggering 70 million people..
The average Japanese individual prior to World War II was not a warmongering sadist. Yet, Japan murdered and slaughtered its way across South East Asia in an orgy of killing that included the systematic murder of 12 million Chinese civilians; most killed by sword, shovel, and bayonet.
And who can forget Rwanda , which collapsed into butchery. Could it not be said that the majority of Rwandans were 'peace loving'?
History lessons are often incredibly simple and blunt, yet for all our powers of reason, we often miss the most basic and uncomplicated of points: Peace-loving Muslims have been made irrelevant by their silence.
Peace-loving Muslims will become our enemy if they don't speak up, because like my friend from Germany , they will awaken one day and find that the fanatics own them, and the end of their world will have begun.
Peace-loving Germans, Japanese, Chinese, Russians, Rwandans, Serbs, Afghans, Iraqis, Palestinians, Somalis, Nigerians, Algerians, and many others have died because the peaceful majority did not speak up until it was too late..
Now Islamic prayers have been introduced into Toronto and other public schools in Ontario , and, yes, in Ottawa too, while the Lord's Prayer was removed (due to being so offensive?). The Islamic way may be peaceful for the time being in our country until the fanatics move in.
In Australia , and indeed in many countries around the world, many of the most commonly-consumed food items have the halal emblem on them.
Just look at the back of some of the most popular chocolate bars, and at other food items in your local supermarket.
Food on aircraft have the halal emblem, just to appease the privileged minority who are now rapidly expanding within the nation’s' shores.
In the U.K, the Muslim communities refuse to integrate and there are now dozens of “no-go” zones within major cities across the country that the police force dare not intrude upon. Sharia law prevails there, because the Muslim community in those areas refuse to acknowledge British law.
As for us who watch it all unfold, we must pay attention to the only group that counts - the fanatics who threaten our way of life.Lastly, anyone who doubts that the issue is serious and just deletes this postl without sending it on, is contributing to the passivity that allows the problems to expand. So, extend yourself a bit and send this on and on and on! Let us hope that thousands, world-wide, read this and think about it, and they also continue to send it on - before it's too late.
And we are silent......and then.....silenced.

Put em to work
BUT
LIBERALS would say that you can't do that, you have to pay this kid
minimum wage and what about child labor laws. Liberals are destroying
our children. NO.. mowing grass isn't grubby.. I know grubby. We need
to teach our kids from the age of 12 to do really menial hard dirty jobs
for low pay. THEN when they get a real job they will value it. If we
could pay 13 year old kids on the street to pick up garbage and sweep
streets, with the unemployment in the city, we would be able to eat off
the streets. BUT there is a hold up. UNIONS. SMH
Our over-scheduled, pampered kids need part-time jobs to learn humility.
