World Net Daily has done it again and is also on the cutting edge informing the world. As I was making the rounds on my favorite news web sites, I saw the title on WND - Stimulus to ban religious worship. As I started to read the piece I was amazed to find what also was stuffed into this big pork sandwich called the “Stimulus Bill”. This “Stimulus Bill” was written totally for and by the Socialist Left Democratic Party of America. The ingredients of this bill are 93 % pork and 7% stimulus. This Stimulus Bill is none other then a Trojan horse full of bureaucracy and a leftist leaning agenda to dramatically change the course of the United States of America forever. What is most alarming is that this bill will most likely pass. We as a nation are on the precipice of absolute social change and full blown secular socialism. Our leaders in Washington are seeking more and more power. This bill is an absolute abomination to all that our founding Fathers held so dear and fought so hard to preserve. At the core of our Founders ideal was the Freedom of Religious practice. Our country was founded on these very Judean/Christian values, everything that the Left hates and despises.
Deceive, Deceive, Deceive
Thank God today for the New Media, Talk Radio and the Internet to sound out the warning cry. The New Media some what holds back the endless flood of the Leftist Main Steam Media and Washington elitism. 25 years ago many of these facts would have been absolutely suppressed by the Liberal Main Stream Media and we would be left with out a voice. The name Stimulus is a euphemism to conceal the true nature of this bill. This bill is a Trojan horse to deceive the American people and it’s multitudes of apathetic, social program, depended addicts which live on Uncle Sam’s Plantation.
Alarming Subtlety
Sen. DeMint on the floor of the house today informed American’s about an alarming provision in this Trojan horse that would limit religious expression of students on university campuses that have accepted government funds. This subtle move by the Left to destroy the biblical teaching and sharing of Almighty God’s Word any were Government funds are giving is an absolute outrage. Many of the Universities in America started off with a strong Christian and Biblical foundation. Yale, Harvard, Princeton to name a few. Be not alarmed, these things must be.
The Word of God warns of the global mood and it’s leaders in the last days before Christ’s return to earth.
Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution. But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived (2 Tim 3:12, 13).
This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, Traitors, heady, high minded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts, Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth (2 Timothy 3:1-70).
As America moves ever more leftward to a secular socialistic nation, may our voices be heard in Washington doing all we can to fight the power. The reality of the situation though is this - May we place your hope, trust and expectations only in Almighty God in these last days of America and of this world. May our eyes ever be looking unto the Lord and not too man for guidance and leadership. God has a great plan for all who put their trust in Him! (Proverbs 3:5-7)
The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!

WHAT DO YOU VALUE?
What a person finds important, of value, is vitally connected to what one's society finds important. The safety of a nation is surely related to what it values. Good and healthy values maintain the existence of a nation. “Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people” (Proverbs 14:34).
As our nation abandons its historic healthy foundation, it will be unable to survive the tests of rightness and reality. It is only solid ground that offers support to the good and bad. A nation that has little or no place for moral rightness, traditional family structure, etc., cannot last. It is within a healthy society that things not so healthy and even worse can exist and have a place and hope for a good recovery. As we are indifferent to and even vote for the losing of healthy values then we are left with unhealthy values. Such unhealthy conditions are like the flea finding no good home in the dead cat.
As we abandon God-honoring family structure and moral standards, we assure the present and future generation of much trouble. Our present needs, wants and wrongs have no refuge apart from a safe moral and family environment. Failed marriages, even the absence of legal marriages, make for troubled and troublesome young people. A people away from God's good order are like a train off its tracks. Neither shall rightly advance.
The God-ordered values of MARRIAGE (Genesis 2:24; Hebrews 13:4), FAMILY, DISCIPLINE, MORAL RIGHTNESS, WORK, LAW AND ORDER, RESPECT, DECENCY, etc., are always safe and sure standards.
God's Values Do Not Change
“For I am the LORD, I CHANGE NOT; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed. Even from the days of your fathers ye are gone away from mine ordinances, and have not kept them. Return unto me, and I will return unto you, saith the LORD of hosts” (Malachi 3:6-7). “The counsel of the LORD standeth for ever, the thoughts of His heart to all generations. Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD” (Psalm 33:11-12).
God's Values Allow For Grace
“The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should PERISH, but that all should come to repentance” (2 Peter 3:9). “Except ye repent, ye shall all likewise PERISH” (Luke 13:3,5). “For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should NOT PERISH, but have everlasting life” (John 3:16).
God's Values Set the Standard For Our Values
“He that hath My commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth Me: and he that loveth Me shall be loved of My Father, and I will love him, and will manifest Myself to him...He that loveth Me not keepeth not My sayings” (John 14:21,23,24). “The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple. The statutes of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes. The fear of the LORD is clean, enduring for ever: the judgments of the LORD are true and righteous altogether” (Psalm 19:7,8,9).
Our values must realistically line up with God's RIGHTNESS. God's RIGHTNESS is put on display in the Person of the Lord Jesus Christ whom God values. Our values need to line up with God's. To believe on the Lord Jesus Christ is to value God's Rightness. “For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth” (Romans 10:4). “That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised Him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation” (Romans 10:9-10)
