"Freedom of Choice is Cornerstone of Islam"

Suday on U.S. Citizen's Wife Sentenced to Death for Christianity: "Freedom of Choice is Central to ... Islam." - cnsnews.com

Excerpt from this article:

"In a statement on a Sudanese court's death-for-apostasy conviction of a Christian mother of two--who is the wife of a U.S. citizen--the Embassy of Sudan in Washington, D.C., said on its website "it is important to emphasize that freedom of choice is the cornerstone of both Islam and Christianity."
--------------------------------------------------

In the 18th century Charles Spurgeon talked about this freedom of choice in both Islam and Christianity. He said:

"Christ is meek, as opposed to the ferocity and bigotry of zealots. Take for example the false prophet Muhammad. The strength of his cause lies in the fact that he is not meek. He presents himself before those he claims as disciples and says: "Take my yolk upon you and learn of me, for I am neither meek nor lowly in heart; I will have no patience with you. There is my creed, or there is my scimitar. Death or conversion, whichever you please."

Excerpt from this article:

"The president is right to be upset over the mistreatment of US military veterans, especially those who return home with so many physical and mental injuries. Veterans should not be abused when they seek the treatment promised them when they enlisted. But his outrage over military abuse is selective. He ignores the most egregious abuse of the US armed forces: sending them off to fight, become maimed, and die in endless conflicts overseas that have no connection to US national security."

Some Anti-Memorial Day Remembrances - lewrockwell.com

Excerpt from this article:

"One of the tenets of militaristic fascism in America is the oft-repeated slogan that 'you don’t have to agree with the wars to honor those who fight them for us.'  Something to this effect is repeated thousands of times during Memorial Day bloviations all across the fruited plain. And it is all complete nonsense.  'Honoring' paid killers for the state for participating in non-defensive, unjust wars only serves to make it more likely that there will be even more unjust wars in the future.  And it rewards individuals for engaging in some of the most sinful and reprehensible behavior known to mankind. There have been one or two exceptions in American history, but in general what Americans are 'memorializing' on Memorial Day (which began as 'Decoration Day' shortly after Lincoln’s war) is wars of conquest, imperialism, mass murder of foreigners and the confiscation of their property, the abolition of civil liberties at home, the slavery of military conscription, and the debt, taxes, and inflation that are used to pay for it all."

I'm going to try to read through the whole Bible this year. Why don't you join me? There are many different websites that offer reading plans to read the Bible in a year. The one I chose is Read the KJV Bible in One Year. So for today, let's read chapters 8 - 10 in the book of Deuteronomy.

Special verse:

"But thou shalt remember the Lord thy God, for it is he that giveth thee power to get wealth that he may establish his covenant which he swore to thy faters." - Deuteronomy 8:18

Note: If you have a reading disability that makes it difficult or impossible to read along with me this year, please consider going to Biblegateway.com and listening to the Bible. This is a great site with many resources, one of which is an audio version of the Bible.

Patriotic platitudes aside, however, America has done a deplorable job of caring for her veterans. We erect monuments for those who die while serving in the military, yet for those who return home, there’s little honor to be found."

Excerpt from this article:

"For every child victim saved, thousands more are unidentified."
-----------------------------------------------

By Silence Betrayed: Sexual Abuse of Children in America, by John Crewdson. Here is an excerpt:

But despite the gradual recognition that having sex with adults was probably not in children’s best interest, a gap remained between word and deed. It was the children of the nineteenth century for whom the first fairy tales were written, but the Victorians have become notorious for preaching one thing and doing quite another where sex was concerned. In 1835, the Society for the Prevention of Juvenile Prostitution reckoned that four hundred Londoners depended for their livelihoods on child prostitutes…one of the major accomplishments of England’s Victorian-era child welfare brigades was to raise the legal age for prostitution from nine to thirteen.”

Healing the Shame That Binds You, by John Bradshw. Here is an excerpt from this great book:

"...a strong boundary is like a door with the doorknob on the inside. A weak boundary is like a door with the doorknob on the outside. A child's ego is like a house without doors."

Remembering George Whitefield and John Wesley

One of the things that separates Christians from Roman Catholics is Christians don't pray to dead saints. But that doesn't mean we can't honor their memory by speaking of them - not to them, but of them! - from time to time.

And so I'd like to take this opportunity to ask my readers to reflect on two great  Christian evangelists of the 1700s: George Whitefield (1714 - 1770) and John Wesley (1703 - 1791).  George Whitefield was a Calvinist. John Wesley was an Arminian (a non-Calvinist).  They were close friends and worked together in preaching the gospel until their Calvinist/Non-Calvinist differences caused them to go their separate ways.

Someone once asked George Whitefield if he thought he would see John Wesley in heaven. Mr. Whitefield said. "No. John Wesley will be so close to the throne of glory, and I will be so far away, I will hardly get a glimpse of him."

And that latter day Puritan, Charles Spurgeon (1834 - 1892), of whom I quote extensively on this site, once said of John Wesley: "Though I detest many of the doctrines he preaches, yet for the man himself, I have a reverence second to no Wesleyan."

90% of War Deaths are Civilian, and 80% of Wars are Started by U.S.

90% of War Deaths are Civilian, and 80% of Wars are Started by US - lewrockwell.com

Excerpt from this article:

“The proportion of civilian deaths and the methods for classifying deaths as civilian are debated, but civilian war deaths constitute 85% to 90% of casualties caused by war, with about 10 civilians dying for every combatant killed in battle.”

Rev. Graham: Christ's 'True Followers' Can't Endorse Gay Marriage, Regardless of What President, Media, Courts Say - cnsnews.com

Rev. Graham: Christ's 'True Followers' Can't Endorse Gay Marriage, Regardless of What President, Media, Courts Say  - cnsnews.com

Excerpt from this article:

"Rev. Franklin Graham, son of world-renowned evangelist Billy Graham, said that 'true followers' of Jesus  'cannot endorse same-sex marriage' regardless of what President Barack Obama, the Congress, the Supreme Court, or the media say about the issue, adding that marriage was 'settled by God Himself' and cannot be modified by man."
-------------------------------------------------------------

In the past I have blogged about Billy Graham and his evangelistic organization, and usually not in a favorable way (see my posts: Billy Graham, Pope Francis, and the Doctrine of Total Depravity, Is it Time to Label the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association (BGEA) a Cult?, Puff Graham Murray). And a podcast by Pastor Ralph Ovadal seamed to just reenforce what I already believed concerning the Grahams (See: Franklin Graham's Rock the River Abomination).

But the article I quoted from above makes me stop and consider whether I've been too harsh on Billy and Franklin Graham. At least Franklin Graham is willing to take a public stand against gay 'marriage', rather than just put their finger to the wind to see what is 'itchy ear' followers want to hear (such as World Vision and Jars of Clay).

Our Lord Jesus said:

"And John answered him saying, Master, we saw one casting out devils in thy name, and he followeth not us. and we forbad him because he followeth not us. But Jesus said, Forbid him not: for there is no man which shall do a miracle in my name that can lightly speak evil of me. For he that is not against us is on our part." - Mark 9:3-40

Coulter Tears into 'Feckless Idiot' Obama

Coulter Tears into 'Feckless Idiot' Obama - wnd.com

Video: Ann Coulter: How About Michelle Obama Hold a Hashtag: I Married an Idiot!"

I probably agree with Ann Coulter 90% of the time - maybe 95%! In fact, I have quoted her so much on my blog and linked to her books (Click Here!) so many time my readers might think I'm president of her fan club. I'm not a cheerleader for Ann Coulter (at least not in the sense that Rachel Maddow is a cheerleader for Barack Obama).

But I like her books and I agree with her opinion most of the time. In fact, my "Dream Team" for the 2016 Presidential election would include Ann Coulter, Michelle Bachmann and Sara Palin (with Ron Paul and Ben Carson as President and Vice Presidential Candidates!). I've read most of Ann Coulter's books and I'm currently reading: Never Trust A Liberal Over Three (Especially A Republican!.

But I don't always agree with Ann Coulter, and I don't agree with her calling President Obama a "Feckless Idiot." Call him a communist. Call him a traitor. Call him an impostor or a a radical anti-American Marxist. Those are all objective observations that can be proved in a court of law. But calling our President a "Feckless Idiot" is going too far!

Seriously, I really struggle with this issue - how do you blog against a president who you believe is out to destroy your country, without violating the Bible's prohibition on honoring those in authority?  The Bible says:

"Honor all men. Love the Brotherhood. Fear God. Honor the King." - 1 Peter 2:17

When we recite the Pledge of Allegiance, we don't say: "I pledge allegiance to the President!" No, we say: "I pledge allegiance to the flag," and all that the flag represents, including a government in which all our rulers - the President included - are obligated to obey the Constitution.

One of my favorite sermons is When Government Tries to Be God, by Dr. David P. Murray. In this great "Gospel-soul-winning" sermon, Dr. Murray tries to answer the question: What should Christians do when the Government tries to be God by forcing them to violate their Christian beliefs. In a nut shell, Dr. Murray echoes the Apostle Peter: "We ought to obey God rather than men." (Acts 5:29).

But he prefaces his sermon by admonishing Christians to scrupulously obey and even honor their rulers in every way, the only exception being when a ruler "Tries to be God."  Why don't you take an hour and listen to this great sermon?

Removing Bad Presidents from Office Should Be Easier

Removing Bad Presidents from Office Should Be Easier - reason.com

Excerpt from this article:

"But as law professor Sanford Levinson puts it, 'Why in the world should 'We the People' not be able to break the lease and evict a manifestly unsuitable or incompetent president and replace him with someone presumably more able?'  Levinson favors a constitutional amendment allowing a congressional 'no confidence' vote and removal of the president...Given the vast powers the modern president wields, it ought to be easier to "throw the bum out."

The Daily Spurgeon - Thursday, May 15, 2014

Quotes by Pastor Charles Haddon Spurgeon (1834 - 1892)

"'What?' you say. 'Can God make me become a Christian?' I tell you, yes, for herein lies the power of the gospel. It does not ask your consent, but it gets it. It does not say, 'Will you have it?' but it makes you willing in the day of God's power...The gospel wants not your consent; it gets it. It knocks the enmity out of your heart. He makes your will turn around, and then you cry, 'Lord, save, or I perish.' 'Ah,' might heaven say, 'I knew I would make you say that!'"
