Friends, it’s finally here!

Our new venture is up and running and we want to be sure you pass the word to everyone you know!

First, I always like to define a word I use that can be construed as offensive.

The first use of the word aletheia is actually used by the Pharisees in one of their tests of Jesus:

The next big fight in Congress is whether or not to raise the current debt ceiling. Supposedly, Capitol Hill and 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue—purportedly filled with self-avowed Christians—understand that this spending and debt accumulation cannot go on forever. Alas, right understanding does not always turn into right action, particularly not inside the Beltway.

If we have the Bible and endless commentaries, commentaries that are solid in their exegesis, then how is it that so many are led astray? How can we have a solid track record of Biblical Christianity where the truth has reigned and yet false teachers can rise up? How is it possible for a man such as Rob Bell to be the “hottest” preacher in America and to have a widely received blasphemous book? Because it is prophetic and the Apostle Peter warned us nearly two thousands years ago:

With the economy and various states working to get their budgets back on track, there is a long overdue look being given to the many entitlement programs at both the federal and state levels. We’ve just learned this week that 1 out of 3 Americans receive some type of federal payout through wages and salaries, Social Security, Medicare, and unemployment insurance. Over the coming months I will be launching a new entity that will address political and cultural issues through a Biblical lens because they are much too involved to cover in a few devotionals much less one.

This morning in my Bible reading I came across an old familiar passage that is fresh and new.

This segment is less than 6 minutes long, but as Bro Dennis likes to say:

It’s chock-a-block full of good stuff.

This next question is addressed to the politicians and if Bro Dennis had been addressing a joint session of Congress 99% of the 535 backsides would have been squirming in their seats.

As you know I have long proclaimed the need for pastors across America to preach God’s Word unapologetically and unashamedly. If we can find pastors willing to boldly preach the Word and comment on today’s societal ills, perhaps our county can be saved.

REALLY??!!!

Did the National Review Online actually endorse John McCain over J.D. Heyworth?

REALLY??!!!

Here’s Mark Levin’s take on the whole subject from his Facebook page:

An old proverb passed down to modern times says that desperate times call for desperate measures.

No, this is not a tribute you the John Lennon’s song. This blog does not tout humanist drivel.

I wrote the following in a blog post last September titled “There Souls Are Tethered To Their Bodies”:

NOTE: Yesterday was my mother’s birthday, she would have been 79. As most of you know, yesterday I lost my dear friend Dino to cancer. I was going to tie the two into a devotional today, but felt lead to do something else. So in honor of Dino, who was a political junkie, and my mother, who always encouraged us to do our best, this morning’s devotional has a politico-socio theme.

Right now I’m feeling a bit like Jonah the Prophet.

NOTE: I am still working on my study of the Book of Esther and I want to be sure to do a thorough job so it will be awhile before we start on it. If you have any questions about the Book of Esther, please send them to me for consideration.

So what now?

The health care bill from the Senate has passed the House and now it must be reconciled by the upper house.

I was on Mark Levin’s radio show last night and I made some pretty strong statements.

Please listen to the link below and then I’ll discuss it afterwards.

Last night during our men’s dinner at church we ended with a time of prayer for one another around our individual tables. One of the brothers asked for prayer in trusting God to handle what is going on in our country. I completely understand his struggle and that was reinforced when I opened another email from another supposed pro-life group (this time it was the Massachusetts Citizens for Life – MCFL) urging its readers to call their congressman to oppose the healthcare bill if it did not have the Stupak Amendment in the bill.

Yesterday I sent out the following email for response:

I’m curious what you all think about this?
Could you all support this?
