"When Freedom destroys order, the Desire for Order Will Destroy Freedom." - Eric Hoffer
"When this happens, as it is today, then to quote Eric Hoffer, 'When freedom destroys order, the yearning for order will destroy freedom.' At that point the words left or right will make no difference. They are only two roads to the same end. There is no difference between authoritarian government from the right or the left: the results are the same. An elite, an authoritarianism as such, will gradually force form on society so that it will not go on to chaos. And most people will accept it - from the desire for personal peace and affluence, from apathy, and from the yearning for order to assure the functioning of some political system, business, and the affairs of daily life. That is just what Rome did with Caesar Augustus” (Source)

The text for this sermon are:
"If men strive, and hurt a woman with child, so that her fruit depart from her, and ye no mischief follow: he shall be surely punished, according as he woman's husband will lay upon him; and he shall pay as the judges determine. And if any mischief follow, then thou shalt give life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot, burning for burning, wound for wound, stripe for stripe."
"Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; and in thy book all my members were written, which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them. How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! how great is the sum of them! If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand: when I awake, I am still with thee."

None Dare Call it...CONSPIRACY!
The following quotes come from the Introduction of None Dare Call It Conspiracy, by Gary Allen (1971)
"The story you are about to read is true. The names have not been changed to protect the guilty. This book may have the effect of changing your life. After reading this book, you will never look at national and world events the same way again." - John G. Scmitz, United States Congressman, October 25, 1971"None Dare Call It Conspiracy is an admirable job of proving that communism is socialism and socialism (a plot to enslave the world) is not a movement of the downtrodden but a scheme supported and directed by the wealthiest of people." - Dan Smoot, Former Assistant to J. Edgar Hoover
"Whatever one dares to call the apparatus described and documented in this book, he will ignore it at his peril. 1972 may be our last chance to diffuse this destructive device." - Dean Clarence E. Manion, Former Dean of Notre Dame Law School
The following is a quote for Deep Truth: The Lives of Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein, by Adrian Havil (1993):
"Whenever you run a clandestine operation, you run two things at the same time: you prepare the team for the hit, and you keep it so small there's nobody to spread it all around. And across the hall is a big staff working on what we call special plans. They're preparing the cover story. The cover story is what they want people to believe and to talk about, and to argue about." - From a 1992 speech by Col. Fletcher Prouty, former chief of special operations, Joint Chief of Staff
Daily Sermon for the Hearing Impaired: Feet Firmly Planted in Mid-Air
Feet Firmly Planted in Mid-Air, by Dr. Steven Lawson [Text: John 18:36-38 (Audio)]
Note: This daily sermon for the hearing impaired is dedicated to my good friend, David J. Bishop, who went home to be with his Lord Jesus on July 1, 2021. David was the inspiration for me to begin posting links to sermons for the hearing impaired. David's not deaf any more. And the first words he heard were from our Lord Jesus, saying to him, "Well done, David, thou good and faithful servant. Enter into the joy of thy Lord!" [Matthew 25:21 (Audio)]
Here is one of the last pictures David sent to me before he died. He was a big sports fan and LOVED the Seattle Seahawks! But David loved our Lord Jesus much, much more!
"Whosoever calleth upon the name of the Lord shall be saved." - Romans 10:13
"My friend I stand in Judgment nowAnd feel that your to blame somehow.
While on this earth I walked with you day by day
And never did you point the way.
"You knew the Lord in truth and glory,
But never did you tell the story.
My knowledge then was very dim,
You could have led me safe to him.
"Though we lived together here on earth
You never told me of the second birth.
And now I stand this day condemned,
Because you failed to mention him.
"You taught me many things, that's true,
I called you friend, and trusted you.
But now I learned, now it's too late,
You could have kept me from this fate.
"We walked by day and talked by night,
And yet you showed me not the light.
You let me live, love and die,
And all the while you knew I'd never live on high.
"Yes, I called you friend in life,
And trusted you in joy and strife.
Yet in coming to this end,
I see you really weren't my friend!"

Daily Quotes for Friday, July 30, 2021
"Maybe the prophets wanted the rich to invite the poor into their homes, maybe they wanted the poor to be befriended and supported by gentle arms of friends. Maybe friendliness. But at least justice, at least the rights of the poor respected." - Dr. Lewis Smedes (1921-2002)
"It would be dreadful to suffer this fierceness and wrath of Almighty God for one moment; but you must suffer it to all eternity. There will be no end to this exquisite horrible misery. When you look forward, you shall see a long forever, a boundless duration before you which will swallow up your thoughts, and amaze your souls, and you will absolutely despair of ever having any deliverances, any end, any mitigation, any rest at all; and you will know certainly that you must wear out long ages, millions and millions of ages, in wrestling and conflicting with this Almighty merciless vengeance; and then when you have so done, when many ages have actually been spent by you in this manner, you will know that it is all but a point to what remains. So that your punishment will indeed be infinite." - Jonathan Edwards (1703-1758)
"It is well enough that people of the nation do not understand our banking and monetary system, for if they did, I believe there would be a revolution." - Henry Ford

"Vietnam is the Left's favorite war because America lost.""Historical accounts of the Vietnam War are incomprehensible because liberals refuse to admit the failure of their national security strategy. The only important lesson from the Vietnam War is this: Democrats lose wars."
"In the great Democratic tradition of taking the nation to war without a plan to win, only the Democrats could have produced Vietnam."
"President Lyndon Johnson, who inherited the war when Kenedy was assassinated, viewed the Vietnam War as a method of proving the Democrats could be trusted with foreign policy, which they cannot."
"Nixon had been elected in part based on his promise to end the war honorably. He would have done so, too, but for Democrats in Congress,"
"A Republican President either wouldn't have started that war, or would have won it pretty fast."

Poem for Thursday, July 29, 2021
"To dwell above, with saints we love,
That will be grace and glory.But to dwell below, with saints we know,
Well, That's another story!"
I listened to a sermon recently by Rev. Ian Brown, titled Memorable Order of The Tin Hats. In addition to the poem above, he also gave a cute analogy of Christian Fellowship where he likened Christian fellowship to to Porcupines. When the Porcupines get cold, they start getting close to one another to try to stay warm. But pretty soon the Porcupine's needles start to poke each other so they have to back away!
