There is a complete disregard by the current government about the situation of the common man. What we need in this country is MORE of GOD not less. The claim of the separation of church and state is all based on a letter written by Thomas Jefferson to The Delaware Baptist Association that in its contents were Jefferson’s comments that there should be a separation, or wall, between the church and the state, Or government. this is totally taken out of context by those who wish to keep God from influencing our laws.
The current government supports abortion and homosexuality both of which are an abomination to God. Abortion is just like was practiced by ancient societies that sacrificed their children to the god of fire Maloch, now people don’t sacrifice to Maloch any more but they are sacrificing to their own loose and free lifestyle and the convenience of their future.
Homosexuality is said to be an abomination in God’s word, we need to let people know that are in that lifestyle that we hate the sin, not them. We would help them and love and accept them but not their lifestyle. The problem is that they have been told by our society that whatever they do is fine with them and the government will prosecute anyone that says they can’t. I say, if you prosecute God any more than you already have, do not bother crying out to Him when you are being destroyed. You can see from what has happened to Phil Robertson of Duck Dynasty what happens to people who honestly voice their opinions. The Bill of Rights and the rest of this countries constitution are now just for show the government and the leadership no longer feel bound by them.
It is only a matter of time before God removes His hand of protection from the USA and we are attacked from someone else. The prophesies from both the Old and New Testament are coming true or already have. It is coming up on the final performance, so to speak. As Christians we shouldn’t be afraid of the coming end, it will only find us going to where we wish to be if they kill us.
The greatest fear I have is that the pendulum has swung so far to the left that when it begins to correct and move to the right, we will find ourselves in a country that will take away more of our rights with the false claim that they are defending our freedoms. you might say why are you afraid? You want a change from the evil you see all around you. My fear is not for me, but for the ones left behind to face what is to come. I hope and pray that my son is not one of those left behind at the rapture and I will do all I can up until then to prevent that from happening.

Casting Pearls- Is America like Jezebel and Ahab?
The King of Isreal, Ahab was seeking the help of Jehoshaphat, the King of Judah, in going up against the Syrians in Ramoth-Giliead and the King of Judah said he wanted to check with his prophets for the Lord first. The King of Isreal said that was fine, only that the prophet Micaiah always prophecied bad things to happen to him. The kings both met with all the prophets who were around Jerusalem at the time and they all prophecied that the Syrians would be delivered up into their hands.
The only one who disagreed was Micaiah, who said the Lord revealed to him that when called upon by the prophets, one Angel( or spirit) came to Him and said he would be a lying spirit in the mouths of all the prophets, to get Ahab to attack the Syrians and lose. Not only would Ahab lose, but he would be killed and lose his life. Because Ahab hated the prophet Micaiah and what he said, he ignored the warning and had his troops and those of Jehoshaphat go up against the Syrians. This was the only known case of an Angel (or spirit) ever lying to men on God’s behalf.
What was so bad about Ahab that God would lie to him? Ahab had been one of the worst kings of Isreal, he had raised up alters and temples to many different gods and refused to follow the other laws of God the Creator as well. Ahab had been the husband of the Queen Jezebel, who had openly defied God and tried to kill the prophet Elijah who took on some 450 of her priests of Baal on Mount Carmel, and killed them all after the true God had brought fire down from Heaven to burn up his sacrifice. Jezebel had done all she could to work against God and His plan for Isreal. She eventually met her end by being thrown out of a upstairs window, trampled by horses, and her broken flesh devoured by dogs before she could be buried, just as prophecied by the prophet of The Lord.
If we continue to go against all the things that have been proclaimed as abominations to God, we to will face the final destruction of a angry God. We kill our children before they are even born, like the Molech worshippers sacrificed their children to their god. We acknowledge a lifestyle choice as being alright, if not acceptable in our eyes, that God calls unnatural and an abomination to Him. We raise up idols in our countries from moneys to film stars to even preachers of the supposed gospel. All these things are a direct slap in the face of God. Jesus told us to turn the other cheek, and I believe God is, but I am not sure He will continue to forever.
The Lord is very forgiving, however, as with humans, He has a memory, and remembers the way we have ignored and abused the gifts He has given us. God will not always forget the wrongs we have done. Eventually God will grow tired of protecting us from ourselves and remove His protective hand. Are we ready for that?

Casting Pearls - Is the church in trouble?
The church in America today must make a important decision as to which way we choose to go. Are we to join with those who wish to be more modern and embrace the culture in which we live? Or are we to hold to the Rock of the truth in God's Word and stand by it no matter wither or not it conforms to modern thinking? We, as a Church, (a called together group of believers) must decide which way we are to face. The danger we face is that if we face the wrong way we will be the ones who say to Jesus when we get to Heaven, I did this and this for you, and Jesus will say to us away from me, I knew you. I know which group I want to be in so in all things, in our modern world, we must hold them up to the mirror of God's Word.
Many in this world want to say that the books of the bible were written by men, and were only relevant in the time in which they were written. However, if you look closely, the original Hebrew, Greek,and Arabic in which the books were written can be translated to speak to even todays problems and prophesy of today. The Church has already had many converts to the modern way of thinking. In the issue of homosexuality alone the United Church of Christ, the Presbyterian Church of the USA, the Evangelical Lutheran Church, and even part of the Episcopal Church of America has already allowed homosexual ministers to lead their Churches. The Episcopal Church of America has had a split in Churches that agreed to this new doctrine. Apparently the Roman Catholic Church of Rome is not far behind them as just the other day the Pope himself called for them to be more inclusive in who they allowed in to their church. The Church of Jesus would fall, "as a deck of cards", he put it when he called for all Churches to be more open in their feelings toward homosexuality, abortion, and contraception.
The Word given to us by God has not changed, nor been reinterpreted to allow the ideas of men. The things we wish to include are only things brought to us by the lord of this world and are meant to cause us to split and become ineffective in spreading the Gospel of Jesus Christ. In
2 Kings 23:7 the King of Judah, Josiah, had found homes of the 'sodomites', otherwise known as Homosexuals today, built right beside the temple of God, and tore them down, and later in the same chapter, in verse 11 and 14 he destroyed the chariots of the sun worshipers and their alters, because the sun worshipers and others had used them to sacrifice their own children, to Molech the sun and fire god, as we do today with the unborn children, in abortion, on the alter of our own convenience. We would rather sacrifice our own children than be inconvenienced by their lives.
For all those who believe they will not be held accountable for these children, they are only fooling themselves. Just as the Church in biblical times was corrupted by false gods coming in to confuse the teachings of the Priests, so the world is trying to bring in false teachings and false gods to make the teachings of the Church be ignored or changed to what their followers would have. The truth remains the same, we must test all things by God's Word, to see if truth is in them.
In John 14: 6 Jesus states something that was as true then as it is today in the world's modern interpretation, "I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man comes to the Father, but by me". There is only one way to the Father, through the shed blood of Jesus Christ, No other way is allowed. Those of us saved by Jesus' Grace know no condemnation under the Law of God, the ten commandments, etc., but those who are still living in the world, and are still part of the world's order, are still condemned under the law. The only, and most simple way to get out of the condemnation is to believe on Jesus and make Him Lord of your life. It is so simple that it seems impossible, but it means also giving up all the things the world promises and provides. Many people can't give up the things of this world for the next. The Lord Jesus promises that if we are willing to give up the things of this world, that we will find ourselves greatly blessed while we are still here since God owns everything around us and can bless those who he wishes.
As the called together believers of Jesus in this world we must try all things we hear and see in this world by the Holy Scriptures in the Bible. If it does not match up with the commands of God then we are to stay away from them. If it does match up we are to follow it as long as it continues to match up. Many people claim that Jesus was too loving to condemn anyone, and while this is true, Jesus made a way for all who were condemned to be saved, Follow Him and make Him Lord of your Life. There is no other way.

Casting Pearls - Tough Love
Today in the world we live in Christians are supposed to be sweet and loving and let the people just run over them and do as they please. the Church has tried to appease the masses just to appeal to more people. It is high time that we began showing the world some tough love in the things that God has specifically told us in His word He finds an 'abomination' to Him.
We have a great example in Jesus himself who as Jesus Himself said in Matthew 10:34 "Think not that I come to send peace on earth; I came not to send peace, but a sword." The world wants us to accept Homosexuality and killing through Abortion, and other sins( I only mention the major ones ). The Church needs to stand up for God, and what God has told us in His Word, and be willing to accept the hate of men for our stand. If the world will not accept the morals that God has put forward as the fence around that we should not cross, then the world will face the consequences from God for not residing inside that fence.
The world has already seen the results of homosexuality, in AIDs. The world is finding out the results of Abortion, through the lack of new inventions that could end up saving us from ourselves, and the psychological and physical damage done to women who have done this. Jesus, continually was at odds with the Pharasees, who eventually brought about His death, for their twists and perversions of the law and making their own rules, which they had ingrained in the peoples lives deep enough to make them as important as the Ten Commandments from God.
In one case in Mark 7:2-16 where the Pharasees saw the disciples eating some bread without washing their hands first. They tried to catch Jesus allowing them to do this against their rules of cleanliness. Jesus answered them saying" Well hath Esaias (isaiah) prophesied of you hypocrites, as it is written, This people honoureth me with their lips, but their heart is far from me." The rules made by the Pharasees were held to be as important to the pharasees as the Laws of God. The pharasees, however, had made some of their rules to circumvent God's own Commandments.
For instance, in verses 10-14, Jesus explained how the pharasees had circumvented the commandment of God to honour your father and mother by calling their wealth 'corban' or dedicated only to the Lord. By doing so, they were still able to control and spend it for their wants and needs, but since it was now The Lords, they did not have to use it to care for their aging parents. In this way the Pharasees had made the Law of God of no effect.
As the Church( a called out assembly of like believers), we are called to be the LIGHT and SALT in this world. First in Matthew 5:13 we are called to be the salt of the earth, salt in that time was used as a preservative, and was needed to prevent mold or corruption from destroying and causing decay. Just like salt, we are called to preserve the good things of the world, and keep the corruption or mold and decay from coming into our lives. Next we are called to be Light of the world in verse 14. Where Light is darkness cannot come in. When we see a window, light comes out to expose that which is in the dark, the dark does not come in. The light of our belief in God is meant to shine and expose the darkness in the world.
The world and the lord of this world Satan, want us to be afraid of the things that Satan can do to us. We need to have faith in God to let Him have control over our lives and realize that all Satan can do is cause damage to this physical body, God Himself will guard our souls from the evil around us and if Satan was to kill us it would only hasten our being with God.
We see from Paul in Ephesians 6:11-18, that God through Paul has told us to put on the WHOLE armour of God. We don't fight against people and their evils, but we fight against the wickedness of Satan in this world. This wickedness can only affect our physical bodies, not our souls. We need to put on this armour first thing every day, so we will be prepared to face the evil of the world and have protection from God to face it and stand firm.(see verse 13) In verse 13 Paul tells us 'having done all, to stand." so if we have put on our armour as we should, we have nothing to fear. We just need to stand firm and weather the storms coming our way.
You may say, how can I have that kind of faith in God to protect me from the storms? The truth is that we all are going to worry and fear sometimes, God will give us the strength to weather the storms of life if we are willing to only believe. In Phillipians 4:13 the Bible says I can do All things through Christ which strengtheneth me. All we have to do is trust God to give us the strength to face whatever comes our way.
We have a great example in Jesus himself who as Jesus Himself said in Matthew 10:34 "Think not that I come to send peace on earth; I came not to send peace, but a sword." The world wants us to accept Homosexuality and killing through Abortion, and other sins( I only mention the major ones ).
