Another Year is Dawning

Another Year is Dawning

1.  Another year is dawning, dear Father let it be
     In working or in waiting, another year with Thee
     Another year of leaning, upon Thy loving breast
     Another year of trusting, of quiet happy rest.

2.  Another year of mercies, of faithfulness and grace
     Another year of gladness, in the shining of Thy face.
     Another year of progress, another year of praise
     Another year of proving, Thy presence all the days.

3.  Another year of service, of witness for Thy love,
     Another year of training, for holier work above.
     Another year is dawning, Dear Father let it be,
     On earth, or else in heaven, another year for Thee

Amen!

Here is the Day for the Man - Where is the Man for the Day?

Hobby Lobby Will Defy Obama HHS Mandate - Risk Millions in Fines - Lifenews.com

Over 100 years ago, Pastor Charles Spurgeon said the following:
"We admire a man who was firm in the faith, say four hundred years ago...but such a man today is a nuisance, and must be put down. Call him a narrow minded bigot or give him a worse name, if you can think of one.
"Yet imagine that in those ages past Luther, Zwingli, Calvin and their compeers had said, 'The world is out of order,  but if we try to get it right we shall only make a great row, and get ourselves into disgrace. Let us go to our chambers, put on our night caps, and sleep over the bad times, and perhaps when we wake up things will have grown better.'
"Such conduct on their part would have entailed upon us a heritage of error. Age after age would have
gone down into the infernal deeps, and the pestiferous bogs of error would have swallowed all. These men loved the faith and the love of Jesus too well to see them trampled on.
"It is today as it was in the Reformer's days. Decision is needed. Here is the day for the man, where is the man for the day? We who have had the gospel passed to us by martyr hands dare not trifle with it, nor sit by and hear it denied by traitors, who pretend to love it but inwardly abhor every line of it...look you, sirs, there are ages yet to come.
"If the Lord does not speedily appear, there will come another generation, and another, and all those generations will be tainted and injured if we are not faithful to God and to his truth today. We have come to a turning point in the road. If we turn to the right, mayhap our children and our children's children will go that way. But if we turn to the left, generations yet unborn will curse our names for having been unfaithful to God and to his Word."

The Bible says:

"And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand or in their forehead. And that no man might buy or sell save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast or the number of his name. Here is wisdom, let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man, and his number is six hundred, three score and six." - Revelation 13:16-18

"Let no man deceive you by any means, for that day shall not come except there be a falling away first, and the man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition, who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped, so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God."
- II Thessalonians 2:3,4

"Then I would know the truth of the fourth beast, which was diverse from all the others, exceedingly dreadful, whose teeth were of iron, and his nails of brass, which devoured, brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with his feet; And of the ten horns which were in his head, and of the other which came up, and before whom three fell; even of that horn that had eyes, and a mouth that spake very great things, whose look was more stout than his fellows. I beheld, and the same horn made war with the saints, and prevailed against them, until the Ancient of days came, and judgement was given to the saints of the most High, and the time came that the saints possessed the kingdom." - Daniel 7:19-22


The Bible also says that neither Obama or the Antichrist will prevail against God's people:

"And I heard a loud voice in heaven saying, now is come salvation and strength and the kingdom of our God and the power of his Christ. For the accuser of the brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night. And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testemony, and they loved not their lives unto death." - Revelation 12:10,11

The Daily Spurgeon - December 31, 2012

Quotes by Pastor Charles Haddon Spurgeon (1834 - 1892)

"If, as our proverb puts it, 'Charity begins at home,' so should criticism; and criticism concerning character had better stop there. There is so much dirty linen in our own house needing to be washed that none of us need to take in our neighbor's washing. 'Mind your own business,' is a command that might have been spoken by Solomon himself, and the Apostle Paul was inspired to write to the Thessalonians, 'Study to be quiet, and to do your own business,' and he and Peter very sternly condemned those who were 'busybodies in other men's matters.'(Source)

Sticks & Stones Can Break Your Bones, But Words Can Increase Your Sentence!

I wish I could take credit for the title of this post, but I can't. I am borrowing it from an article I read several years back about hate crime legislation. Basically, the article I read said that if a person commits a crime, and it can be proven that the crime was motivated by 'hatred,' that person can be given a longer prison sentence.

I was reminded of this article today when I read the story about a 31 year old woman who pushed a man to his death in New York City because she thought the man was a Muslim (see Woman accused of murder as a hate crime in NYC Subway Push Death). This lady said that she pushed him off the train tracks "because I hate Hindus and Muslims ever since 2001 when they put down the Twin Towers..."

Hatred is in the eye of the beholder, and hate crime laws can act as a double edged sword.  People who commit crimes that are motivated by hatred may well face longer jail and prison terms. But hate crime laws can also be used to try to stop Christians from preaching the gospel.  If you disagree, take some time to listen to Dr. David Murray's important message:

What is a Hate Crime?

True Christians love their neighbors so much, they are willing to commit a hate crime just to try to keep their neighbors from going to hell.  My post, The Roman Road to Salvation, could be seen "criminal hate speech" in many parts of the world.  And the day may come here in America when you can go to prison just for telling your neighbor about our Lord Jesus, and that "there is no other name under heaven given among men whereby we must be saved." (Acts 4:12).

Listen to these words from that latter day Puritan, Charles Haddon Spurgeon:

"If sinners will be damned, at least let them leap to hell over our bodies. And if they perish, let them perish with our arms around their knees, imploring them to stay. If hell must be filled, at least let it be filled in the teeth of our exertions, and let not one go there unwarned or unprayed for."

Do we not read in scripture, 'Then goeth he and taketh unto him seven other spirits more wicked than himself?' It may be there is a gradation in the wickedness of devils, and perhaps also, in their power to fulfill their wicked impulses."

Untold Millions Are Still Untold!

Someone recently used the phrase, Weapons of Mass Distraction. I can't recall where I saw it, or what the context was, but it should should be something we Christians keep in mind as we prepare to enter 2013  (if our Lord Jesus does not come before then!).

Some of the Weapons of Mass Destraction that come to mind are these:

TV
Movies
Sports
News (yes, news!)
Debt
Personal and national finances
Work
Family
Music
And even the Church.

Anything that we cram into our lives to keep us from spending time with our Lord Jesus Christ is a 'Weapon of Mass Distraction' that the Devil uses to drag us down to hell with him. Don't let him do it!  And as much as it is in your power, don't let him use those WMD to take our neighbors to hell either.

Pastor Charles Spurgeon (1834 - 1892) says:

"If sinners will be damned, at least let them leap to hell over our bodies. And if they will perish, let them perish with our arms about their knees, imploring them to stay. If hell must be filled, at least let it be filled in the teeth of our exertions, and let not one go there unwarned and unprayed for."

"The coming collapse of the U.S. dollar is a done deal. It’s been in the works for years—decades, and this is one of the most important cataclysmic events that DHS is preparing for. I almost think that DHS was created for that purpose alone, to fight Americans, not protect them, right here in America." (Emphasis mine).

Relevant quote from former Secretary of State, Henry Kissinger:

"Today Americans would be outraged if U.N. troops entered Los Angeles to restore order; tomorrow they will be grateful. This is especially true if they were told there was an outside threat from beyond, whether real or promulgated, that threatened our very existence. It is then that all peoples of the world will plead with world leaders to deliver them from this evil. The one thing every man fears is the unknown. When presented with this scenario, individual rights will be willingly relinquished for the guarantee of their well being granted to them by their world government." (Source)

Don't let Jesus Pass You By

I have been a Calvinist for over 30 years (see my post Calvinism Refuted - And Defended!).  One of the ministers I listened to in those early years of my Christian life was Rev. Paul Den Butter. I have posted several links to his sermons on this web site, and you may wish to check out his sermon on Total Depravity before you retire for the evening.

Recently, I have been going over a diary that I have kept for a number of years, and I stumbled on some of the notes I took from Rev. Den Butter's sermons. Some of those notes I incorporated into my recent post: The Pharisee, The Publican, and the Sandy Hook Massacre.  Below is yet another excerpt from a sermon I heard by Rev. Den Butter in the early 1980s:


"Jesus of Nazareth passes by. Don't let this opportunity slip. Why should you do it? Why should you run the risk to be lost in the place of the damned? What is so valuable in life, that you would put your soul in jeopardy? Can I not persuade you? Can I not convince you that there must be a calling upon the Lord? Remember, if we fail to make use of God's offer of grace, we will regret it throughout all the ages of eternity. And there are many at this very same moment that weep and cry and wail because of their lost condition. Jesus passed by and they did not cry. And now they cry, but they are lost, and why are they lost? Not because of any unwillingness on the part of Jesus to save them. But because Jesus passed by, and they did not cry out to him!” 

That's calvinism! And Calvinism is just another word for the Gospel!

Christmas Day Sermons

I went to church last night, on Christmas Eve. But since our church did not have services today, and I had the day off from my job, I spent some time listening to some sermons from Sermonaudio. Here are two I listened to today that I would like to heartily recommend to you (the first was preached on October 28, 2012, and the second was preached today, December 25th):

How shall we then vote?, by  Pastor Dave Beuhner
The Marvelous Story of Christ's Birth, by Rev. Cornelis Pronk

What Does the Bible Say About Gun Control?

According to Wikipedia, firearms, or guns, were not invented until the 12th century in China. So it is safe to say that the Bible - written much earlier than that! - doesn't say much about guns. It does say much about violence, however. Our Lord Jesus says:

"I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves. Be ye therefore wise as serpents and harmless as doves." - Matthew 10:16

Christians need to exercise some of this wisdom in the current gun control debate.  The issue is not whether private citizens should be allowed to own military assault weapons that could be used to kill dozens of innocent  people very quickly. Unless you are planning to secede from the union, I don't see any reason why a private citizen should own any weapons other than a handgun to protect their family from an intruder intent on doing them harm, or a rifle to be used to legally kill wildlife that they intend to eat.

The Devil doesn't care about the Second Amendment to the Constitution. He loves violence and violent people like Sandy Hook Killer Adam Lanza (See Satan Worship Motivated Sandy Hook Killer?). Perhaps, rather than go after our guns, we should pass laws outlawing Satan worship!

While the Devil doesn't care much about the Second Amendment to our Constitution, he cares very deeply about the First Amendment which says:

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof, or abridging of freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."

Christians don't need the government's permission to preach the gospel and tell people about our Lord Jesus.  We are going to do that with or without the government's blessing (see Acts 4:20 and Acts 5:29). But the Devil knows if he can get rid of the First Amendment, he can make it much harder for Christians to fulfill their mandate from their Lord, to "Preach the gospel to every creature." (Mark 16:15).

And getting rid of the Second Amendment will make it much easier to get rid of the First. If you think that is just being paranoid, take some time to listen to the following podcast by Pastor Sean Harris:

Or better yet, check out Debbie Schlussel's recent post: Video: These Celebrities Want to Take Your Guns: Demand they STFU!

People around the world make 2 mistakes when it comes to "natural disasters," like storms, tornadoes, earthquakes, etc. One mistake is to see each event as a judgment of God on that nation or state or city for sins they have committed.

But I think today, a greater mistake is to fall for the myth that there really is such a thing as a "natural disaster," and that God has nothing to do with it, and that we can flaunt God's laws all we want and God is a paper tiger who won't - or can't - do anything about it.

The Bible says:

"Be not deceived. God is not mocked. For whatsover a man soweth, that shall he also reap." - Galatians 6:7

Just Freeze! EPA Says Burning Wood Is Bad, but so Is Natural Gas, Coal, Oil:

"So, you’re living in Fairbanks, Alaska, and it’s 45 degrees below zero, Fahrenheit. The high today will be -39 degrees below zero. The weather services all project lots more double-digit minus numbers in the coming days and weeks, with dips into the minus 50s and 60s. Heating oil prices are killing your family budget, so you crank up the wood stove and start burning some of the firewood you collected last summer. Uh-oh! Now you’re in trouble!"
