THE DIFFERENCE

If a conservative doesn't like guns, he doesn't buy one. If a liberal doesn't like guns, then no one should have one. If a conservative is a vegetarian, he doesn't eat meat. If a liberal is, he wants to ban all meat products for everyone. If a conservative sees a foreign threat, he thinks about how to defeat his enemy. A liberal wonders how to surrender gracefully and still look good. If a conservative is homosexual, he quietly enjoys his life. If a liberal is homosexual, he loudly demands legislated respect. If Black or Hispanic men are conservative, they see themselves as independently successful. Their liberal counterparts see themselves as victims in need of government protection. If a conservative is down-and-out, he thinks about how to better his situation. A liberal wonders who is going to take care of him. If a conservative doesn't like a talk show host, he switches channels. Liberals demand that those they don't like be shut down. If a conservative is a non-believer, he doesn't go to church. A non-believing liberal wants all churches to be silenced. If a conservative decides he needs health care, he goes about shopping for it, or he may choose a job that provides it. A liberal demands that his neighbors pay for his health care. "'Eternal vigilance is the price of freedom.' We have heard that many times. What is also the price of freedom is the toleration of imperfections. If everything that is wrong with the world becomes a reason to turn more power over to some political savior, then freedom is going to erode away.... If you think government should 'do something' about anything that ticks you off, or anything you want and don't have, then you have made your choice between utopia and freedom."

John Piper twist Scriptures

Here is a clearly a twisting of Scriptures by John Piper. Within just a few moments John changes "the Word of God" to a witness.






Yes, you heard it right, John says faith comes by a witness.

Read now The Word of God - Romans 10:17 So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

...who want a man to dress like a woman...

“Except a duck in pattens, no creature looks more stupid than a Dissenting preacher in a gown which is of no manner of use to him. I could laugh till I held my sides when I see our doctors in gowns and bands, puffed out with their silks, and touched up with their little bibs, for they put me so much in mind of our old turkey-cock when his temper is up, and he swells to his biggest. They must be weak folks indeed who want a man to dress like a woman before they can enjoy his sermon, and he who cannot preach without such milliner’s trumpery may be a man among geese, but he is a goose among men.”

—C.H. Spurgeon,

The Father's Prayer

by General Douglas MacArthur

Build me a son, oh Lord, who will be strong enough to know when he is weak,

and brave enough to face himself when he is afraid;

one who will be proud and unbending in honest defeat, and humble and gentle in victory.

Build me a son whose wishbone will not be where his backbone should be;

a son who will know Thee, and that to know himself is the foundation stone of knowledge.

Lead him, I pray, not in the path of ease and comfort, but under the stress and spur of difficulties and challenge.

Here let him learn to stand up to the storm; here let him learn compassion for those who fail.

Build me a son whose heart will be clear, whose goal will be high;

a son who will master himself before he seeks to master other men;

one who will learn to laugh, yet never forget how to weep;

one who will reach into the future, yet never forget the past.

And after all these things are his, add, I pray, enough of a sense of humor so that he may always be serious,

yet never take himself too seriously.

Give him humility, so that he may always remember the simplicity of true greatness,

the open mind of true wisdom, the meekness of true strength.

Then I, his father, will dare to whisper, `I have not lived in vain.’

Remembrance Day in PG

Regena and I attended the Remembrance Day services here in Prince George, and it was a beautiful day.

The City Civic Centre was packed.

Prince George's rebuilt Cenotaph at City Hall.

Parade to Cenotaph.

After the placing of Official Wreaths, and after the service the public was able to lay their poppys.


We saw and visited with a number of folks from our Military Family Support Group, as well as folks from our Church.

We remember the 'our fallen' and continue to 'support our troops'.

FIVE FACTS YOU OUGHT TO KNOW AND BELIEVE

FIVE FACTS YOU OUGHT TO KNOW AND BELIEVE


HERE IS GOD’S VERDICT!
As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:
For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; Romans 3:10, 23


HERE IS GOD’S SENTENCE!
For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. Romans 6:23


HERE IS GOD’S PROVISION!
For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for
our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the
third day according to the scriptures:
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. I Corinthians 15:3, 4; John 3:16


HERE IS YOUR OPPORTUNITY!
But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:
To him give all the prophets witness, that through his name whosoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins. John 1:12; Acts 10:43


HERE IS YOUR ONLY HOPE!
He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.
These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God. John 3:36; I John 5;13
