Marco Rubio vs. Rand Paul By Patrick J. Buchanan Friday - December 9, 2011 In August 2008, as the world's leaders gathered in Beijing for the Olympic games, Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili, hot-headed and erratic, made his gamble for greatness. It began with a stunning artillery barrage on Tskhinvali, capital of tiny South Ossetia, a province that had broken free of Tbilisi when Tbilisi broke free of Russia. As Ossetians and Russian peacekeepers fell under the Georgian guns, terrified Ossetians fled into Russia. Saakashvili's blitzkrieg appeared to have triumphed. Until, that is, Russian armor, on Vladimir Putin's orders, came thundering down the Roki Tunne…

The Holy Land 1 2
by John81- 16 replies
- 875 views
This time of year especially there are many ads for trips to Israel, the Holy Land. In most all of these ads there is talk about how special it is to be baptized in the Jordan river. It's said that one can feel closer to Jesus by walking where he walked. There is mention of extra blessings coming from sermons heard while in Israel. Some even claim one is closer to God when in Israel. Other claims are made too, most of us have heard them. The thing is, these claims aren't just coming from some Charismatics or from those in the "experience is everything" crowd. Unless the claims above is true, how can so many say these things and how can so many conservative Christians bu…

Why is it that among IFBs and other conservative churches there are so many pastors who have wives with short or often very short hair...and not only the pastors wives, but many of the women in the church that hold positions? Often in these churches we hear much about how we can't live in open sin, we must present ourselves to the world as separate, as following Christ, as obeying the world. We hear so much about visible sins and disobediance to the Word being a disqualifier to hold a church position or to do public ministry...often directed towards anyone who might still smoke, attend a theater, date, a man with long hair (or sometimes a man with facial hair), one who …

I watched it last night and loved it, this is my Amazon review: "What impressed me the most about this film was the balance in portraying the life of a missionary. There was everything from a loopy rascal stopping on the road, to a vicious attempt made on Brad's life in the market. The film portrayed the frustrating spiritual warfare that is unique to the mission field, and the strength behind a united family unit. The film delves into the cultural thinking behind the habits, practices, and lifestyles of the people in Papua New Guinea verses here in America; they are 180 degrees different. The overall theme, which is reflected in the title of the movie, is that as missi…

How big is your God? Is Allah able to steal God's glory? Some seem to think so. Our God will share His glory with none else but Him. He will not long stand by and allow Muslims to desecrate His name; He can put a stop to it, and I believe He soon will. We get all fired up, (and rightly so) but it is God that will show Himself strong, and not us. He will not take a back seat to any other (so-called) god, let alone any man. I pray that i will see the day when He pours out His wrath upon these worshipers of false gods; it will be a sight to behold. Muslims brag about how rapidly their poison is infesting European and Eastern countries, but soon they shall fall, an…

Kentucky church bans interracial marriage A small Kentucky church has chosen to ban marriages and even some worship services for interracial couples. The Gulnare Freewill Baptist Church, located in Pike County, made the vote in response to a longtime member who is engaged to a man whose birthplace is in Zimbabwe. Other pastoral leaders in the area were quick to denounce the church's vote. "It's not the spirit of the community in any way, shape or form," Randy Johnson, president of the Pike County Ministerial Association, told the Lexington Herald-Leader. The small congregation, which usually hosts about 40 members each Sunday, held the vote after longtime member Stel…

SWAT team's shooting of Marine causes outrage By AMANDA LEE MYERS | AP – 3 hrs ago TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) — Jose Guerena Ortiz was sleeping after an exhausting 12-hour night shift at a copper mine. His wife, Vanessa, had begun breakfast. Their 4-year-old son, Joel, asked to watch cartoons. An ordinary morning was unfolding in the middle-class Tucson neighborhood — until an armored vehicle pulled into the family's driveway and men wearing heavy body armor and helmets climbed out, weapons ready. They were a sheriff's department SWAT team who had come to execute a search warrant. But Vanessa Guerena insisted she had no idea, when she heard a "boom" and saw a dark-suited ma…

1 Chronicles 16:9 "Sing unto him, sing psalms unto him, talk ye of all his wondrous works." Thanksgiving is coming up in just a few days (22 to be exact). What are you thankful for? I thought it would be neat to list something each day - count our blessings. I'm sure we can all come up with 22 of them, right? I am thankful for so much. With the loss of my grandmother recently, I was going through pictures and remembering...I praise the Lord for allowing my grandmother to be a part of my life for so long. That is a blessing that just doesn't have words to describe.

Never fear to suffer; but oh, fear sin! If you must choose between them, prefer the greatest suffering to the smallest sin.

We will give you a medal, but you better learn to keep your mouth shut. Judging from the way they treat people it definitely is not the best and brightest who rise to leadership in the big business world. It is also the same type that rise to the top in government. I remember a line I heard about fifty years ago: "In business and government most people rise to the level of their incompetence". In other words you rise to that level at which you cannot do your job well and thus stay there and rise no further.

Ohio puts 200-pound third-grader in foster care CLEVELAND (AP) — An Ohio third-grader who weighs more than 200 pounds has been taken from his family and placed into foster care after county social workers said his mother wasn't doing enough to control his weight. The Plain Dealer reports (http://bit.ly/t68M7D ) that the Cleveland 8-year-old is considered severely obese and at risk for such diseases as diabetes and hypertension. The case is the first state officials can recall of a child being put in foster care strictly for a weight-related issue. Lawyers for the mother say the county overreached when authorities took the boy last week. They say the medical problems…

My old computer went down again, power supply is once again gone out, I believe this is the 3rd one, this last one was installed on the 11-1-2001, that means it was only 23 days old when it gave up the ghost. I had already bought a computer with Windows Professional & I have it up & running, but I know nothing about it, its familiar, yet it will take some learning. As for On Line Baptist, I knew my password by heart so I made it here OK, but it an my old yahoo email password are the only ones I know by heart, the rest are hiding on my old computer. I’m hoping with the virtual XP download that I can install most of the software along with my printer wil run o…

FREEDOM LOST October 6, 2011 NewsWithViews.com By Chuck Baldwin Many times I hear the ostriches among us exclaim, "What freedoms have we lost? America is the freest country on earth." We have all heard that, right? Of course, part of the problem is that, thanks to our education system, media, and churches, many Americans do not even know how to define liberty and freedom. The truth is, America's Founding Fathers were willing to pledge their "lives, fortunes, and sacred honor" and fight a bloody revolutionary war for far fewer abridgments of liberty than we Americans endure every day of our lives today. FAR FEWER! To answer the second part of the ostrich argument f…

The framers of our nation were citizens and politicians. They pandered to the majority of the people. The majority of the people were Christians; and so, they wrote words which were easily understood by Christians and which required Christians for their proper interpretation and application. The foundations of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the United States are from the values and ethics of the Bible. Satan began his work to destroy this Christian nation immediately. If it were not so, then why is the attack so obviously pointed at destroying the Christian values within that framework? Satan, appealing to the sinful nature of mankind, provided t…

From the 11th book of the O.T. 1 Kings 11:11 "Wherefore the LORD said unto Solomon, Forasmuch as this is done of thee, and thou hast not kept my covenant and my statutes, which I have commanded thee, I will surely rend the kingdom from thee, and will give it to thy servant." From the 11th book of the N.T. (Philippians doesn't have 11 chapters) So, here is the 11th word from the 11th verse. Philippians 1:11 "Jesus"

My ex BIL was a militant IFB pastor for many years. He and my sister had five daughters, two sets of twins and a single birth, and he was strongly against divorced men in the pulpit or even serving in the church. To my mother and fathers face he was "respectful", but in actions in front of his eife and kids at home he was a Pharisee making himself out to be far better than he was. After my sister divorced him for extreme mental cruelty towards her and the girls, he started using the verse about letting the unbeliever depart. After a couple of years working at Lowes he started working with the youth of the church he was attending and remarried. He later became the youth pastor. A couple of years later he threw ALL of his beliefs out the window to justify becoming a pastor again. He now pastors a church in S. Georgia. He councils others concerning divorce and consistently tries to relieve himself of any responsibility in his own. It's sad how many who are staunchly anti divorced men in the pastorate are for it once it's come to their doorstep. -

Biblically, my hubs and I believe it is still wrong. As to a divorced man giving counseling, well - if he has learned from what brought about the divorce and has grown spiritually, I personally wouldn't have a problem with it. I don't think the Bible addresses it, either, so there's nothing we could say is unbiblical about it. Now, if the man is an unrepentant adulterer, then no way (and believe me, there are far too many unrepentant adulterers in pulpits and/or involved in ministries). -

As far as I remember, if a divorced man was a Christian, before coming to Christ or after, could not be a deacon, teacher, or preacher. Has this changed? and is it OK for divorce Preachers give marriage counseling classes to a family in need, of counseling. -

Haha, sounds like you’re doing all the hard work! If only you were a pastor, right? Then you could just preach, shake hands, and have all the free food show up. But for now, it looks like your wife is keeping you busy with all that car washing and laundry folding! 😄 -
By Pastor Matt · Posted
I understand that. The real issue for me would be if someone added something to the Bible and claimed it as part of the Word of God. Anything else is just there for helps. For the record, I won't be buying a Trump Bible either.
