The belt of truth
"You will know the truth, and the truth will set you free," says Jesus (John 8:32).
But what will the truth set us free from?
First of all, it sets us free from the snares of deception. When people know the truth, they can't be taken in by a lie. You can't convince people to believe in something that they know in their hearts and minds is false.
The truth will also set you free from guilt and shame. When you've held tightly to the truth, you don't have to worry about a lie coming back to haunt you. You don't spend your nights lying awake wondering what words of deception might trap and ensnare you.
You are free to live with a clean conscience and an innocent heart.
Finally, the truth sets you free from judgment. When you trust in the truth of Jesus, you have no more fear of death—physical or spiritual.
You know his promises to be true and his words to be life-giving. You can no longer be bound by Satan's lies.
The belt of truth Paul writes about is the strap that holds together the entire armor of God.
Without it, everything else would fall away and Satan would have an open target to your heart. So take the truth of Christ, and latch it firmly around your waist. Let it set you free!

Things to Remember
Thought you might be interested in this forgotten bit of information..........
It was 1987!
At a lecture the other day they were playing an old news video of Lt.Col. Oliver North testifying at the Iran-Contra hearings during the Reagan Administration.
There was Ollie in front of God and country getting the third degree, but what he said was stunning!
He was being drilled by a senator; "Did you not recently spend close to $60,000 for a home security system?"
Ollie replied, "Yes, I did, Sir."The senator continued, trying to get a laugh out of the audience, "Isn't that just a little excessive?"
"No, sir," continued Ollie."No? And why not?" the senator asked.
"Because the lives of my family and I were threatened, sir."
"Threatened? By whom?" the senator questioned.
"By a terrorist, sir" Ollie answered.
"Terrorist? What terrorist could possibly scare you that much?"
"His name is Osama bin Laden, sir" Ollie replied.
At this point the senator tried to repeat the name, but couldn't pronounce it, which most people back then probably couldn't.
A couple of people laughed at the attempt. Then the senator continued. Why are you so afraid of this man?" the senator asked.
"Because, sir, he is the most evil person alive that I know of", Ollie answered. "And what do you recommend we do about him?" asked the senator.
"Well, sir, if it was up to me, I would recommend that an assassin team be formed to eliminate him and his men from the face of the earth."
The senator disagreed with this approach, and that was all that was shown of the clip. By the way, that senator was Al Gore!
Also:
Terrorist pilot Mohammad Atta blew up a bus in Israel in 1986. The Israelis captured, tried and imprisoned him.
As part of the Oslo agreement with the Palestinians in 1993, Israel had to agree to release so-called "political prisoners."
However, the Israelis would not release any with blood on their hands.
The American President at the time, Bill Clinton, and his Secretary of State, Warren Christopher, "insisted" that all prisoners be released.
Thus Mohammad Atta was freed and eventually thanked the US by flying an airplane into Tower One of the World Trade Center.
This was reported by many of the American TV networks at the time that the terrorists were first identified.
It was censored in the US from all later reports.

The Danger of Mocking God
Here are some examples of people who mocked God:
JOHN LENNON: Some years ago, during his interview with an American Magazine, he said:"Christianity will end, it will disappear. I do not have to argue about that.
I am certain. Jesus was OK, but his subjects were too simple, Today we are more famous than Him (1966)."
Lennon, after saying that the Beatles were more famous than Jesus Christ, (soon after) was shot six times.
TANCREDO NEVES: During the Presidential campaign, he said if he got 500 votes from his party, not even God would remove him from the Presidency.
Sure he got the votes, but he got sick a day before being made President, then he died.
CAZUZA: During a show in Canecão (Rio de Janeiro), whilst smoking his cigarette, he puffed out some smoke into the air and said: God, that's for you.
It cannot be explained how he died.
THE MAN WHO BUILT THE TITANIC: After the construction of the Titanic, a reporter asked him how safe the Titanic would be. With an ironic tone he said: "Not even God can sink it!"
The result: We all know what happened to the Titanic.
MARILYN MONROE: She was visited by Billy Graham during a presentation of a show. He is a preacher and Evangelist and the Spirit of God had sent him to preach to her.
After hearing what the Preacher had to say, she said: "I don't need your Jesus." A week later, she was found dead in her apartment. How she died is still being debated today.
BON SCOTT: The ex-vocalist for AC/DC on one of his 1979 songs, he sang: "Don't stop me, I'm going down all the way, the highway to hell." On the 19th of February 1980, Bon Scott was found dead, he choked on his own vomit.
CAMPINAS/SP IN 2005: In Campinas, a group of friends, all drunk, went to pick up another friend. The mother accompanied her to the car and was so worried about the drunkenness of all her friends that she said to the daughter - holding her hand, who was already seated in the car:
"MY DAUGHTER, GO WITH GOD AND MAY HE PROTECT YOU." She responded: ONLY IF HE (GOD) RIDES IN THE TRUNK, COZ INSIDE HERE its ALREADY FULL."
Hours later, news came by that they had been involved in a fatal accident; everyone had died; the car could not be recognized as to what type of car it was, but surprisingly, the trunk was intact.
The police said there was no way the trunk could have remained intact.
To their amazement, inside the trunk was a crate of eggs, and none of them were broken.
Many more important people have forgotten that there is no other name that was given so much authority as the name of Jesus. Many have died, but only Jesus died and rose again, and he is STILL alive.

God is just Too Awesome!
The Lord is so awesome. There is none like Him. For anyone to honestly believe there is no God is just beyond my comprehension.
I was talking to my oldest son last night, who just in the last several months has grown by leaps and bounds in his relationship with the Lord.
He was telling me how he just can't stop praising God and thanking Him for his goodness and mercy. We have had many conversations regarding this topic.
How amazing it is when the Lord God reveals himself to us. How after accepting Jesus as savior, the Lord opens our "spiritual eyes" to see and understand the things going on not only in our own lives, but in the world around us.
I told Jason every time I talk to him or his grandmother I can't help but praise the Lord for the salvation He has brought into their lives. For years I prayed for my parents and my children. There were times when I had doubt about whether my mom especially would accept Jesus. There were things that happened in my life I think she blamed the church for and there was some anger there. But she came to realize the "church" is not what being a Christian is about...It is about a personal relationship with our Creator and His son Jesus Christ.
The change in my son is the most dramatic. He went through a period of drugs and alcohol, which is dangerous, but combined with the fact he has epilepsy made it worse.
The Lord got through to Him in a very dramatic and supernatural way, and over the last six months or so his relationship with the Lord has just been awesome. It is so cool to be able to talk about the Lord with him, and as my husband is fond of saying, "being on the same page" when it comes to understanding spiritual truths.
It is interesting how the Lord works. In every conversation I have had with Jason as well as my mom, we find the Lord has been showing us the same things at the same time, while working with each of us separately. It's as if He is confirming those things each of us are being shown through our relationships with each other as well as the rest of our family.
The spiritual awakening in Jason daily continues to give me hope for my two younger sons, who are both struggling with drugs and needing to be set free from past hurts and a not so rosey childhood.
The main thing I have realized in seeing the relationships my family have with the Lord is this: The key to knowing God, to growing spiritually is to be in the Word of God (the BIBLE) consistently. Knowing that when the Word says to renew our minds with the Word, it means just that. We become new in our thinking and understanding. It cleanses us, encourages us, shows us the nature and love of God. Without it, it won't be long before a new relationship with the Lord will begin to fall away.
Without being in the word the danger of believing false teaching becomes overwhelmingly dangerous, especially to those who are new to being Christians. There are so many biblically incorrect teachings in the world today. And if you don't have a clear understanding of the Bible as a whole it is easy to get caught up in messages that do nothing but "make you feel good" and steering you straight to hell.
The bible talks about in the last days there will be a great falling away of the church. People will want to hear only what makes them feel good, and reject the truth.
2 Timothy 4:2-4
2Preach the Word; be prepared in season and out of season; correct, rebuke and encourage—with great patience and careful instruction. 3For the time will come when men will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear. 4They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths.
2 Timothy 3
Godlessness in the Last Days
1But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days.
2People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, 3without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, 4treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God— 5 having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with them.
7always learning but never able to acknowledge the truth.
Always learning but never able to acknowledge the truth so fits the state of today's world. We have become so full of knowledge, yet have fallen so far from the Truth. There is a large number of churches and preachers who have gotten away from the Bible as being not only the ultimate authority for believers, but teaching it is not relevant for our times. Trying to rewrite it so to speak. Saying it is not a literal book and what God says in it isn't really what God means. Taking the Word and interpreting it to say what they want it to say and not what it truly says.
There has been an outpouring of teachings that are focused on increasing church sizes, approaching preaching of the good news to suit what will make people comfortable and happy, instead of teaching the truth. Unfortunately the Truth is not always a warm fuzzy message. But it is a message of hope and of love and most importantly salvation.
We have become more concerned with having large churches with lots of people filling up the pews, than with the eternal destiny of the lost. Too many churches have begun to look at Christianity from a "business" stand point instead of spiritually. Taking man's ideas on how to increase the number of the people they can get in the door, instead of following the "plan" Jesus clearly gives us in the Word.
It is like Jason and I were talking about last night - there are going to be a lot of people sitting in church thinking they are going to heaven who are going to be terrified come judgment day and finding out they were wrong. All because those called to spread the gospel were more concerned about they might offend someone by telling them they are in danger of spending eternity in hell than speaking the whole truth. The whole truth is:
None of us are good enough, we cannot earn our way to heaven, we cannot continue to live a life that offends God and expect Him to just look the other way and allow us into heaven because our so called good deeds out weigh the bad. Or because "at least I am not as bad as THAT person."
No one is able to honestly say they have lived a life in which they have never broken any of God's laws (the Ten Commandments). The bible says if we break one we are guilty of breaking them all. God is a God of love but He is also a God of justice. To ignore the sin of his creation goes against the very nature of a just God. WE all cry for justice when man's law is broken, why do we assume offenses should be overlooked by the creator of the universe when it comes to His children?
That is why Jesus paid the price for our salvation and it is ONLY through accepting and believing in Him that we can be forgiven! It is ONLY through Christ can we have a relationship with a Holy God, who sees us through the blood of Jesus once we accept Him, once we realize we have offended God and repent of those things He has told us are not acceptable.
Accepting Jesus as Lord and Savior does no guarantee you will have a life without trial or problems. In fact Jesus said the opposite is true.."in this life you will have trials and tribulations, but be of good cheer for I have overcome the world".
What accepting Jesus does guarantee is eternity in heaven where there will be no more troubles or tears or pain. It also guarantees that no matter what you may go through in this life He is always with us helping us to go through even the worst possible pain knowing in the end what happens here is temporary...and we have an eternity of joy ahead of us.
That is only if you have accepted the gift of His sacrifice, admitting you are a sinner in need of a savior and allowing Him to come into your life. Jesus said, "I AM the WAY, the TRUTH and the LIFE. NO MAN comes to the father but through ME."
By the way, the Truth remains the truth even if a person chooses not to believe it. Think about it...where will you spend eternity? It is a choice well all make, even if you don't think you have made a choice, that too is a choice.
But God shows his love for us in that while we were yet sinners Christ died for us. Since, therefore, we are now justified by his blood, much more shall we be saved by him from the wrath of God. Romans 5:8,9 RSV

Now THAT is a Star
Subject: Denzel Washington, and Brooks Army Medical Center
Don't know whether you heard about this but Denzel Washington and his family visited the troops at Brook Army Medical Center, in San Antonio, Texas (BAMC) the other day.
This is where soldiers who have been evacuated from Germany come to be hospitalized in the United States, especially burn victims. There are some buildings there called Fisher Houses.
The Fisher House is a Hotel where soldiers' families can stay, for little or no charge, while their soldier is staying in the Hospital. BAMC has quite a few of these houses on base, but as you can imagine, they are almost filled most of the time.
While Denzel Washington was visiting BAMC, they gave him a tour of one of the Fisher Houses. He asked how much one of them would cost to build. He took his check book out and wrote a check for the full amount right there on the spot.
The soldiers overseas were amazed to hear this story and want to get the word out to the American public, because it warmed their hearts to hear it.
The question I have is why does: Alec Baldwin, Madonna, Sean Penn and other Hollywood types make front page news with their anti-everything America trash and Denzel Washington's Patriotism doesn't even make page 3 in the Metro section of any newspaper except the Local newspaper in San Antonio.
(This was in my email. It is a definate must post. We need more "Hollywood types" willing to stand up and say what is right with American instead of only what is wrong, willing to put their money where their mouth is.)

Proud To Be An American
I am sorry but after hearing they want to sing the National Anthem in Spanish - enough is enough.
No where did they sing it in Italian, Polish, Irish (Celtic), German or any other language because of immigration. It was written by Francis Scott Key and should be sung word for word the way it was written.
The news broadcasts even gave the translation -- not even close.
Sorry if this offends anyone but this is MY COUNTRY - IF IT IS YOUR COUNTRY SPEAK UP
I am not against immigration -- just come through like everyone else.
Get a sponsor; have a place to lay your head; have a job; pay your taxes, live by the rules AND LEARN THE LANGUAGE as all other immigrants have in the past -- and GOD BLESS AMERICA! PART OF THE PROBLEM
Will we still be the Country of choice and still be America if we continue to make the changes forced on us by the people from other countries that came to live in America because it is the Country of Choice??????
Think about it! All we have to say is, when will they do something about MY RIGHTS? We've gone so far the other way, bent over backwards to not offend anyone, that I am now being offended. But it seems that no one has a problem with that. This says it all!
This is an editorial written by an American citizen, published in a Tampa newspaper. He did quite a job; didn't he? Read on, please!
IMMIGRANTS, NOT AMERICANS, MUST ADAPT. I am tired of this nation worrying about whether we are offending some individual or their culture. Since the terrorist attacks on Sept. 11, we have experienced a surge in patriotism by the majority of Americans. However...... the dust from the attacks had barely settled when the "politically correct! " crowd began complaining about the possibility that our patriotism was offending others.
I am not against immigration, nor do I hold a grudge against anyone who is seeking a better life by coming to America . Our population is almost entirely made up of descendants of immigrants. However, there are a few things that those who have recently come to our country, and apparently some born here, need to understand.
This idea of America being a multi-cultural community has served only to dilute our sovereignty and our national identity. As Americans.....we have our own culture, our own society, our own language and our own lifestyle. This culture has been developed over centuries of struggles, trials, and victories by millions of men and women who have sought freedom.
We speak ENGLISH, not Spanish, Portuguese, Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, Russian, or any other language. Therefore, if you wish to become part of our society, learn the language! "In God We Trust" is our national motto. This is not some Christian, right wing, political slogan. We adopted this motto because Christian men and women.......on Christian principles............. founded this nation..... and this is clearly documented. It is certainly appropriate to display it on the walls of our schools.
If God offends you, then I suggest you consider another part of the world as your new home.........because God is part of our culture. If Stars and Stripes offend you, or you don't like Uncle Sam, then you should seriously consider a move to another part of this planet. We are happy with our culture and have no desire to change, and we really don't care how you did things where you came from.
This is OUR COUNTRY, our land, and our lifestyle. Our First Amendment gives every citizen the right to express his opinion and we will allow you every opportunity to do so! But once you are done complaining....... whining...... and griping.......about our flag......our pledge......our national motto.......or our way of life...I highly encourage you to take advantage of one other Great American Freedom....
THE RIGHT TO LEAVE.

The Beauty of Nature
I took these pictures just minutes ago trying to capture what looked like a rainbow in the clouds...I've never seen one before without there having been some rain..Unfortunately you cannot really see it very clearly. But if you look closely at the photo on the left it is barely visible, and to me, almost looks like a cross. I like the photos even though the "rainbow" is barely visible because the sky and the clouds remind me the beauty of nature the good Lord has blessed us with, that we sometimes take for granted.

Don't Trust Every News Source!
PHOTO FRAUD There was a new story the other day about a photographer for Reuters who doctored photographs he'd taken for the news source. The photograph was played with to make the damage in Beirut appear more extensive than it was.
His photo is not the only one "staged" or "doctored" to elicit more anger at the Irsaeli military, as well as provoke sympathy for Lebanon. Check out the video link and pay close attention. I know I will look more intently at photos I see.

Why Why Why
Why do we press harder on a remote control when we know the batteries are getting weak?
Why do banks charge a fee on "insufficient funds" when they know there is not enough?
Why doesn't glue stick to the bottle?
Why do they use sterilized needles for death by lethal injection?
Why doesn't Tarzan have a beard?
Why does Superman stop bullets with his chest, but ducks when you throw a revolver at him?
Whose idea was it to put an "S" in the word "lisp"?
If people evolved from apes, why are there still apes?
Why is it that no matter what color bubble bath you use the bubbles are always white?
Is there ever a day that mattresses are not on sale?
Why do people constantly return to the refrigerator with hopes that something new to eat will have materialized? HOW MANY OF US HAS DONE THIS ?
Why do people keep running over a string a dozen times with their vacuum cleaner , then reach down, pick it up, examine it, then put it down to give the vacuum one more chance?
Why is it that no plastic bag will open from the end on your first try?
How do those dead bugs get into those enclosed light fixtures ?
When we are in the supermarket and someone rams our ankle with a shopping cart then apologizes for doing so, why do we say, "! It's all right?" Well, it isn't all right, so why don't we say, "That hurt, you stupid idiot?"
Why is it that whenever you attempt to catch something that's falling off the table you always manage to knock something else over?
In winter why do we try to keep the house as warm as it was in summer when we complained about the heat?
How come you never hear father-in-law jokes?
And my FAVORITE...... The statistics on sanity are that one out of every four persons is suffering from some sort of mental illness. Think of your three best friends -- if they're okay, then it's you

Big Shocker There...NOT!!

What Is The Worst Sin?
This week's promise: Those who trust in God are no longer guilty
What is the worst sin we can commit?
And when he comes, he will convince the world of its sin, and of God's righteousness, and of the coming judgment.
John 16:8 NLT
The worst sin. What would you consider the worst sin you could commit?
Adultery? Stealing? Murder? You might be surprised by the answer the Bible gives.
The worst sin—and the one with the most far-reaching consequences—is this: to refuse to believe in Jesus Christ.
Jesus taught that the Holy Spirit convicts guilty men and women of sin "because they do not believe in Me." (John 16:9)
On that final day, it will not so much be the sin question as it will be the Son question. All sins can be dealt with and forgiven if we believe in Jesus.
We must not forget that knowledge brings responsibility. It is a grave thing to shake off the conviction of the Spirit. Jesus said the Spirit came to convict us "of judgment, because the ruler of this world is judged" (John 16:11).
The ruler or prince of this world, Satan, was judged at Calvary. When Jesus went to the cross and died in our place, Satan lost his death grip on humanity.
The spirit convicts us of sin, righteousness, and judgment, but He wants most of all to give us assurance of forgiven sin.
Why not let Him do what He really desires to do? Why not come to Jesus? Or if you have already done that, help someone else to follow your example.

What is the worst sin we can commit?
And when he comes, he will convince the world of its sin, and of God's righteousness, and of the coming judgment.
John 16:8 NLT
The worst sin. What would you consider the worst sin you could commit?
Adultery? Stealing? Murder? You might be surprised by the answer the Bible gives.
The worst sin—and the one with the most far-reaching consequences—is this: to refuse to believe in Jesus Christ.

The Truth
Jesus said to him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me."
And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life.
For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.
For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.
There was a certain rich man who was clothed in purple and fine linen and fared sumptuously every day. But there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, full of sores, who was laid at his gate, desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich mans table.
Moreover the dogs came and licked his sores. So it was that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels to Abrahams bosom.
The rich man also died and was buried. And being in torments in Hades, he lifted up his eyes and saw Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.
Then he cried and said, "Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus that he may dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame."
But Abraham said, "Son, remember that in your lifetime you received your good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things; but now he is comforted and you are tormented.
And besides all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed, so that those who want to pass from here to you cannot, nor can those from there pass to us. "
(which means those who die are not wandering around as spirits here on earth)
Then he said, "I beg you therefore, father, that you would send him to my fathers house, for I have five brothers, that he may testify to them, lest they also come to this place of torment."
Abraham said to him, "They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them."
And he said, "No, father Abraham; but if one goes to them from the dead, they will repent."
But he said to him, "If they do not hear Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded though one rise from the dead."
Jesus said to her, I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live. And whoever lives and believes in Me shall never die. Do you believe this?
God acquits us from the Courtroom of Eternal Justice on the grounds that Jesus Christ paid our fine. We are "justified" (made right with God) by His suffering death. The resurrection of Jesus Christ was God's seal of approval of the fact that His precious blood was sufficient to pay the fine.
The reason we need a substitute (a savior) to pay our moral "fine," is because we have broken God's Law. To see how much we have transgressed this Law (the Ten Commandments), we will go through some of them -- Have you ever told a lie? Have you ever stolen something? Have you ever lusted after another person?
If you answered "Yes" to these questions, you admit that you are a lying, thieving, adulterer at heart, and you have to face God on Judgment Day!
If you have used His name in vain, then you are guilty of "blasphemy" -- you've substituted God's holy Name for a curse word.
Perhaps you've hated someone, then the Bible says that you are a murderer. You have violated God's holy Law, and you're in BIG trouble.
On Judgment Day, you will be found guilty and end up in Hell. That's why you need the Savior.
Merely being sorry for your sins, or confessing them to God won't help you. You must turn from sin (repent), and your faith must be in Jesus Christ alone. He is the only "grounds" for God to grant mercy towards you.
For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus,"
"But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him.
For if when we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved by His life."

Who is Really to Blame?
As I watch what is going on in the middle east I cannot help but be perplexed as to how anyone could say Israel is in the wrong here. Everyone seems to be forgetting who started this conflict....
The terrorist group Hezbollah attacked first, taking Israeli soldiers captive and firing missiles into Haifa. They attacked FIRST! This group is also known to use civilian people as human Shields, hiding in Mosque, hospitals and residential areas. Being so filled with hate of other races, they see the sacrifice of innocent people as nothing but a means to continue their terror.
Knowing how the world views the loss of life, especially when it is children, what better way to reign terror on others and then twist it around to make a nation defending itself look like they are the terrorists. The truly sad thing in all of this is their propaganda and strategy seems to be working.
Israel warned those living in the areas which were going to be targeted to leave. They did what they could to allow civilians to get out before they went in. Those who are in the areas being hit are there because they have chosen to be.
"The ongoing escalation in Israel/Lebanon brings to mind Golda Meier's statement that the animosity will end only when, "....The Arabs love their children more than they hate ours." Children and other innocent civilians in Lebanon are being used, once again, as human shields as Islam does not love life; it celebrates death." (Taken from an article from Olive Tree Ministries.)I couldn't have made the point better. What is going on is horrible yet at the same time it is, I believe more Bible prophecy coming to pass..
What we are seeing is further fulfillment of Zechariah 12 - 14 where all nations turn on Israel (and all are injured), for many in the world are now beginning to hate Israel more than Hezbollah, which is a sister organization to al-Qaida. Israel is doing some of the Western world's dirty work in the war against Islamo-fascism and at the same time, being condemned for it.
The other day I picked up the Bible and happened to turn to the book of Joel. When I read this verse I could not help but feel as if I was reading exactly what is happening today...what caught my attention incredibly this was just after the attack began in Tyre.
(4) "Indeed, what have you to do with Me, O Tyre and Sidon, and all the coasts of Philistia? Will you retaliate against Me? But if you retaliate against Me, Swiftly and speedily I will return your retaliation upon your own head; Joel 3:4.
It seems pretty clear the Lord is protecting Israel. Just look at the difference in casualties..with all themissiless the terrorists have fired into Israel there have been miraculously few deaths, compared to the human losses in Lebanon.
These terrorists are filled with hate, wanting everyone who is not willing to submit to their reign or their "beliefs" to die. People seem to forget the whole idea of this group is to wipe out all "infidels", believing they will achieve paradise and reward for every one they murder. What kind of a god is their god who says if you murder others you will make it to paradise?
What blows me away is this turn of the tide, which is now trying to say Israel is wrong and are "war criminals". Would not those who deliberately put their own people in harms way, using them asShieldss against their terror activities not be the criminals? Are not those who deliberately place children, women and the elderly between them and their enemies in all actuality cowards?
Are not the leaders of these terrorist groups, nothing more than heartless, evil men, strategically placing their soldiers in the middle of innocent people simply to create sympathy and approval for their war?
It is not Israel who is to blame for this conflict, nor is it Israel who is to blame for the loss of the women and children. The blame and the responsibility for these civilian deaths rest squarely on the heads of Hezbollah as well as those political parties who are not only encouraging their activities but supplying them with the weapons.
If Israel agreed to a cease fire, it is a pretty safe bet it would not be long before her enemies would break it. How do you sit down and try to reach an agreement with a group who will stop at nothing to advance their cause? What in the world makes anyone believeHezbollahh would keep any promises they might make? You cannot reason with people who are so filled with hate, they can see nothing but their goal...to murder anyone who does not agree or submit to them!
So Israel should agree to a cease fire why???? Until these armed and deadly terrorist groups are destroyed, there will never be any true or lasting peace for anyone, especially Israel. She has many enemies and this battle has been going on since the days of Abraham... and as hard as others have tried to wipe this nation out of existence.
One thing to keep in mind is the Bible promises that who ever blesses Israel will be blessed and who ever curses her will be cursed...
Genesis 12:3 "I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse; and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you."
A good thing for America to keep in mind when deciding which side to stand on.
Waiting for the Lord
TGIF Today God Is First, by Os Hillman
Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord. - Psalm 27:14
Hearing and doing God's will are two important steps that often get confused as one step. However, these are two distinct processes.
When we hear God's voice, this is only 50 percent of the process. The next important step is to know when to move. It is one thing to hear; it is another to know when to act.
There was a time when the Lord showed me I was to write. This was a major change in my life from what I was doing. As I began to write, I attempted to find a publisher for my work.
This became a real frustration. I encountered many false starts, and many well-intentioned people wanted to assist but their efforts resulted in further delays.
Finally, my wife asked me, "Os, have you completed the book you are working on?"
"No," I replied."When you complete the book, God will provide a publisher if He has called you to write. You need to complete the book."
A few months later I was in discussions with a publisher about my work. They were going to be in my city and wanted to meet with me. The day we met they offered me a contract on my book. It also was the exact day that I had completed the book.
I thought back to the words my wife had said.Corrie ten Boom was a prisoner in the German Holocaust who lost her sister in the concentration camps.
She tells a story about her father taking her on trains. She always wanted to get the ticket from her father ahead of time. He never gave her the ticket until she was about to get onto the train.
God is always on time. He is never late, and He is seldom early. Ask God for the wisdom to discern His will and His timing for the events in your life.

A Good Point....
The lady who wrote this letter is Pam Foster of Pamela Foster & Associates in Atlanta. She's been in business since 1980 doing interior design and home planning.
WHAT'S ALL THE FUSS?
"Are we fighting a war on terror or aren't we? Was it or was it not started by Islamic people who brought it to our shores on September 11,2001
Were people from all over the world, mostly Americans, not brutally murdered that day, in downtown Manhattan, across the Potomac from our nation's capitol and in a field in Pennsylvania? Did nearly three thousand men, women and children die a horrible, burning or crushing death that day, or didn't they?
And I'm supposed to care that a copy of the Koran was "desecrated" when an overworked American soldier kicked it or got it wet? Well, I don't. I don't care at all.
I'll start caring when Osama bin Laden turns himself in and repents for incinerating all those innocent people on 9/11.
I'll care about the Koran when the fanatics in the Middle East start caring about the Holy Bible, the mere possession of which is a crime in Saudi Arabia.
I'll care when Abu Musab al-Zarqawi tells the world he is sorry for hacking off Nick Berg's head while Berg screamed through his gurgling, slashed throat.
I'll care when the cowardly so-called "insurgents" in Iraq come out and fight like men instead of disrespecting their own religion by hiding in mosques.
I'll care when the mindless zealots who blow themselves up in search of nirvana care about the innocent children within range of their suicide bombs.
I'll care when the American media stops pretending that their First Amendment liberties are somehow derived from international law instead of the United States Constitution's Bill of Rights. In the meantime,
when I hear a story about a brave Marine roughing up an Iraqi terrorist to obtain information, know this: I don't care.
When I see a fuzzy photo of a pile of naked Iraqi prisoners who have been humiliated in what amounts to a college hazing incident, rest assured that I don't care.
When I see a wounded terrorist get shot in the head when he is told not to move because he might be booby-trapped, you can take it to the bank that I don't care.
When I hear that a prisoner, who was issued a Koran and a prayer mat, and fed "special" food that is paid for by my tax dollars, is complaining that his holy book is being "mishandled," you can absolutely believe in your heart of hearts that I don't care.
And oh, by the way, I've noticed that sometimes it's spelled "Koran" and other times "Quran." Well, Jimmy Crack Corn and ---- you got it, I DON'T CARE!
(This was in my email...had to post it.)

Nothing We Cannot Handle
I have a friend who suffers with chronic pain. She is in constant pain and discomfort, having surgeries and health issues I for one would have a very hard time dealing with. But through it all she has always been optimistic, cheerful and never without the ability to praise the Lord. Even with all the things she is suffering with in her life.
Recently in a conversation we had over the phone we were talking about certain events that have happened in my life over the last few months.
I had told her that through certain circumstances beyond my control we had lost everything we owned. I had told her I looked at it this way. " The Lord gives and the Lord takes away" and material things are just that...Material things. Even though I at times, grieve over the lose of things like pictures, cards I had saved over the years, and my wedding things. I finally came to the conclusion that if I were to die today, I could not take these things with me, and once I get to heaven those things will not be important.
My friend told me she couldn't believe how well I was accepting this and that with all the stuff I have been through there must be something special waiting for me in heaven.... Me?
All I could think was....
This awesome inspiring woman is living with constant considerable pain, she has been through surgeries, can no longer do things she loves without pain and still remains joyful and full of faith in the Lord. I would not be able to cope with the kinds of things she has gone through. When I had a problem with my back a couple months ago, the pain was so bad I prayed for God to just take me, the idea of living with constant pain and being unable to care for myself was not something I wanted to live with.
I admire this woman and believe the Lord will have a special reward waiting for her. For the suffering she has and is living through on a daily basis. For her concern with the feelings and happiness of others above herself.
Even with all the things she is dealing with she never fails to ask how I am doing and trying to encourage me as well as all those in her life. For her to tell me I am doing something that seemed inspiring and amazing to her just blew me away. It had a very humbling affect on my heart.
It also made me realize that the Lord knows which of his children can handle certain trials and those who can't. What one person may be going through seems harder to someone else than what they might be going through. The Lord never gives us anything we cannot handle it....and if a trial or a test comes into our life it is only because the Lord knows we can handle it ...with His help.
We never know what others may be facing, but I believe the trials and hardships each of us face on occasion are there that our faith might shine through and be an example to someone who is struggling. The Lord is much more concerned with our attitudes in the face of trials than He is in the trial's themselves. To be willing to offer a sacrifice of praise and worship even if we may not feel like it is more precious to Him than all the good works we could even begin to do.
To be able as Job did to say, "Though He slay me, yet will I trust Him. Blessed be the name of the Lord." That is the kind of witness and testimony unbelievers need to see from those of us who claim the name of Christ.

Cell Phone VS Bible
I wonder what would happen if we treated our Bible like we treat our cell Phones?
What if we carried it around in our purses or pockets?What if we turned back to go get it if we for got it?
What if we flipped through it several times a day?
What if we used it to receive messages from the text?
What if we treated it like we couldn't live without it?
What if we gave it to kids as gifts?
What if we used it as we traveled?
What if we used it in case of an emergency?
What if we upgraded it to get the latest version?
This is something to make you go... hmmm... where is my Bible?
Oh, and one more thing.
Unlike our cell phone, we don't ever have to worry about our bible being disconnected because Jesus already paid the bill!
