Merry Christmas!

Praying the Lord's blessings for all our friends and family during this Christmas season. Some day we'll have time to sit down and spend the time together that we want... If not this side of Heaven, then in the presence of the Lord. WOW... what a day! ... But for now, Brenda and I wish the very best for you and those close to you.

Obama Welcomes Accreditation of International LGBT Organization by UN

A homosexual activist group has gained a non-government organization status at the United Nations. It took the help of President Obama and the United States, but the International Gay and Lesbian Human Rights Commission (IGLHRC) has gained official status at the U.N., which is an "important step forward for human rights," according to President Obama. While he may be deceiving Congress and the country at large, I will say this... Our President is consistently keeping promises to those who voted for him to usher in greater sin and debauchery into our country and world. He has, once again, circumvented the proper protocol and procedure in order to push a very unpopular policy.

Pentagon Disinvites Franklin Graham from Prayer Event

The U.S. Army on Thursday withdrew an invitation to a Franklin Graham because he has the audacity to speak the truth. In an interview last year with CNN, Graham said "true Islam" was too violent to be practiced in the United States.

"You can't beat your wife. You cannot murder your children if you think they've committed adultery or something like that, which they do practice in these other countries," he said.

"I don't agree with the teachings of Islam and I find it to be a very violent religion."

How dare anyone disagree with beating your wife? Who knows, they may soon have wife-beating awards to wear on the soldiers' chests... You go ARMY!

GO10 Walk

On April 5th, a historic walk began in Glennville, GA. Laura Belle Barnard, the first international missionary Free Will Baptists sent out, attended the Glennville FWB Church before leaving for India in 1935. The GO10 Walk for the World, a 2,500-mile walk that covers a route commemorating major events in Barnard’s life, began at this church. The purpose of this walk is to challenge youth to consider their role in reaching the nations with the Gospel in their generation.

Thanks to an anonymous donor this unique walk-a-thon has the potential to raise more than a million dollars to share the Gospel with those who have never heard it. So far there are 1,083 walkers registered and $225,451.19 donated online in this historic event.

Pray for Joe Wilson and volunteers who help him coordinate this event. Pray also for safety and health for those walking the different segments. Pray for walkers from Heritage FWB Church as we walk on May 27. The walk will end at the site of our national conference in Oklahoma City on July 20. Check out the website for more information or to participate... I really need the sponsors! www.go10walk.com/dock.

Obama's Radical Recess Appointments

President Barack Obama is using the Congressional recess to make his wildest appointments. Two of these individuals are so radical they couldn't even be confirmed by a Democratic-controlled Senate. Obviously, there is no way we should condone such behavior by a President, but it's hard to not be impressed by his deviously silent maneuvering... Even to get beyond the very liberal Democrats as he continues to deliver on his promises to the homosexual activist community.

Lesbian activist, Chai Feldblum has been nominated to be commissioner for the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. She is for "superior rights for homosexuals," and which is very dangerous for our country." Speaking at a forum in 2004, Feldblum stated that "gay sex is morally good."

Andrea Lafferty has stated that "sexual liberty trumps religious liberty," she's opposed the Boy Scouts being able to determine who should be Scout leaders, and she also is the author of ENDA (the Employment Non-Discrimination Act), which is a bill that will force Christians and everybody to have to hire transgendered people.

Job or Ministry?

Some people have a job in the church.
Others involve themselves in ministry.

What’s the difference?

If you do it just because no one else will... it’s a job!
If you do it to serve God... it’s a ministry!

If you quit because someone criticized you... it’s a job!
If you kept on serving in spite of criticism... it’s a ministry!

If you’ll do it only so long as it doesn’t interfere with other things... it’s a job!
If you’re committed to staying with it... it’s a ministry!

If you quit because no one ever praised or thanked you... it’s a job!
If you stay even though no one notices your efforts... it’s a ministry!

If you do it because someone else said it needs to be done... it’s a job!
If you do it because you sensed God saying it needs to be done... it’s a ministry!

It’s hard to get excited about a job.
It’s almost impossible not to get excited about a ministry!

An average church is filled with people doing jobs!
A great and growing church is filled with people involved in ministry!

Have you considered your ministry lately?

President Obama Loved Biden's F-Bomb?

Great... The offices of our United States President and Vice President are getting more vulgar every day. In fact, if you ask Joe Biden, his use of foul language isn't a big deal to the President of the United States.

Apparently Joe Biden is "laughing off" his use of a profanity on the national stage as it was picked up by nearby live microphones. He used the "f-word" during the White House ceremony surrounding President Obama's signing of the Democratic healthcare reform bill.

After a his introduction of the president, Biden leaned into Obama and stated: "This is a big [expletive] deal." (View video report from Associated Press)

Now... Even worse... On Wednesday night in the vice president told supporters at a fundraiser that Obama was not upset by his use of profanity in the setting. According to the report, Biden quoted President Obama as saying he considered "Joe's comment" as the "best thing" about the nationally televised signing ceremony.

So these are the men who are our leaders? One would at least expect an apology.

NCAA Strikes Out Hate Speech

Straight from the Associated Press...

"The National Collegiate Athletic Association removed a Focus on the Family banner ad from one of its Web sites this week, NCAA spokesman Bob Williams said Wednesday.

The NCAA made the decision after some of its members - including faculty and athletic directors - expressed concern that the evangelical group’s stance against gay and lesbian relationships conflicted with the NCAA’s policy of inclusion regardless of sexual orientation, Williams said.

The ad in question was not about sexuality. It featured a father holding his son and the words, “All I want for my son is for him to grow up knowing how to do the right thing.” Like the Tebow ad, it included the address of Focus on the Family’s Web site and the slogan, “Celebrate Family. Celebrate Life.”

Focus on the Family spokesman Gary Schneeberger said that if such material were “all of a sudden labeled hate speech, we have deeper problems in our country than we even know.”"

What a hateful ad! This is only the beginning of the America's crack down on "hate speech." Need I say more?
