Washington Post Distorts the News Against Israel (Again!)
Washington Post Distorts the News Against Israel (Again!) - americanthinker.com
The following quote is from the book, Deep Truth: The Lives of Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein:
"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
Note: Bob Woodward is either a great journalist or a career intelligence agent. Deep Truth makes the case for the latter!

Daily Sermon for the Hearing Impaired: Putting a Branch to the Nose
Putting a Branch to the Nose, by Pastor Russ [Text: Genesis 42]
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 anymore. 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 you're 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!"
-My Friend, by D.J. Higgins

"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."

Question What doth the conclusion of the Lord’s Prayer teach us?
Answer: The conclusion of the
Lord’s Prayer (which is, For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the
glory, for ever, Amen) teacheth us to take our encouragement in prayer from God
only, and in our prayers to praise him, ascribing kingdom, power, and glory to
him. And, in testimony of our desire, and assurance to be heard, we say, Amen.”

#104 Question: What do we pray for in the fourth petition?
Answer: In the fourth petition, which is, Give us this day our
daily bread, we pray that of God's free gift we may receive a competent portion
of the good things of this life, and enjoy his blessing with them.
Answer: In the fifth petition, which is, And forgive
us our debts, as we forgive our debtors, we pray that God, for Christ's sake,
would freely pardon all our sins; which we are the rather encouraged to ask,
because by his grace we are enabled from the heart to forgive others.
Answer: In the Sixth Petition (Which is, And lead us not into
temptation, but deliver us from evil), we pray, that God would either keep us
from being tempted to sin, or support and deliver us when we are tempted.

Compel Them to Come In
This sermon was preached in 1858, but it is just as relevant for today as if it were preached this morning! The text for Pastor Spurgeon's sermon is Luke 14:23 (Audio):
"And the lord said unto the servant, Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled."
Spurgeon once said, 'Wherever the gospel is preached, the most wicked of men and women are made to sit at the Savior's feet, clothed and in their right minds."
Daily Quote for Wednesday, July 27, 2022
Quotes by Pastor Charles Haddon Spurgeon (1834 - 1892)
"But did I hear you whisper that this was not a convenient time? Then what must I say to you? When will that convenient time come? Shall it come when you are in hell? Will that time be convenient? ... Remember, I have no authority to ask you to come to Christ to-morrow. The Master has given you no invitation to come to him next Tuesday. The invitation is, 'To-day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts as in the provocation,' for the Spirit saith 'to-day.' 'Come now and let us reason together;' why should you put it off? It may be the last warning you shall ever have. Put it off, and you may never weep again in chapel." - From Spurgeon's Sermon Compel Them to Come In

for things agreeable to his will, in the name of Christ, with confession of our
sins, and thankful acknowledgment of his mercies.
#99 Question: What rule hath God given for our direction in prayer?

Answer: The preface of the Lord's prayer, which is, Our
Father which art in heaven, teacheth us to draw near to God with all holy

and that we should pray with and for others.
