The Night of Weeping by Horatius Bonar (1808-1889) "Weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning." Ps 30:5 Home Persecution This sermon may not fit American churches today. But it did fit 19th century Scotland. Amidst the poverty, illness, and daily struggles to feed families and overcome obstacles, this message brought hope and victory through uncompromising churches. In our times, the joy of His Word is all too often quenched by the bright lights of contemporary thrills and shallow distractions. Let us pray that our wonderful Lord will use Pastor Bonar's words to shine the light of His glory into our hearts this day -- and that we will recognize and live by it! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "He is despised and rejected by men, A Man of sorrows and acquainted with grief. ... But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities...." Is 53:3-4 "I do not mean, as I have said before, that the saint is ever to be gloomy. No. Gloom and melancholy are not our portion. "The lines have fallen unto us in pleasant places." They are not the inmates of a soul that has tasted the joy of pardon and is walking in light, as a happy child with a loving father. But true joy is a serious thing. Its fountains are deep. It is the waking up of the heart's deep springs. Mirth and levity are not joy. They are too shallow to deserve the name. Like the sun-flash on a stagnant pool, they are a mere surface gleam of light. There is nothing in them of the calm radiance illuminating the ocean depths many a fathom down, as if the waters themselves were a mass of solid sunshine, and remaining amid the heaving of the billows, unbroken and unobscured. In coming to Him, who is the fountain of all gladness, the saint of God bids farewell to gloom. Tribulation he may have -- no, must have -- but not gloom. That has left him forever since the day he knew the Savior, and opened his ears to the joyful sound. Peace is now his heritage. ... It is through tears that truth is best seen. When looked at through this medium, objects assume their right proportions and take their proper level. .. Such especially is the life of the saint! He not only knows that there is an eternity, but he has seen and felt it. ... He not only knows that there is such a thing as forgiveness and eternal life, but he has found them, he has tasted them; his eyes have been opened, and he has now come into the very midst of realities. They compass him about on every side.... especially as he "looks for that blessed hope, even the glorious appearing" of the Lord.... Affliction is full of warnings. It has many voices and these of the most various kinds. It speaks counsel, it speaks rebuke, it speaks affection. ... 1. Affliction says, "Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world [referring to the world system, not the people of the world] the love of the Father is not in him." (I John 2:15). 2. Affliction says, "Take heed and beware of covetousness" (Luke 12:15). Riches cannot help, neither earthly comfort avail us in the hour of grief. They cannot dry up tears, nor reunite broken bonds. ... It is then we find that we need a "treasure in the heaven that fails not."... 3. Affliction says, "abstain from all appearance of evil" (I Thess 5:22). "Hate even the garments spotted by the flesh."... It is not merely abstain from evil, but from all appearance of evil. Suffering teaches us to shrink from sin -- even from the remotest and most indirect connection with it. It says, "Oh, do not that abominable thing which I hate!" 4 Affliction says, "Do not grumble against one another." (James 5:9). Let there be no halfhearted affection in the family of God. Let there be no envy, no jealousy, no misunderstandings among the brethren. Why should we be less than friends who are both fellow-sufferers and fellow-soldiers here? ... Yet oftentimes it needs affliction to teach us this, to remove our jealousies, and to draw us together as brethren in sympathy and love. 5. Affliction says, "Keep yourselves from idols" (I John 5:21). If there be one remaining idol, break it in pieces and spare it not. Nothing is so fruitful a cause of suffering as idolatry. Nothing so forcibly displays the vanity of our idols as suffering. ... Church of the living God! Be warned. Please not yourself, even as Jesus pleased not Himself. Live for Him, not for yourself, for Him, not for the world. Walk worthy of your name and calling, worthy of Him who bought you as His bride, worthy of your everlasting inheritance. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I heard the voice of Jesus say, "Come unto Me and rest; Lay down, thou weary one, lay down Thy head upon My breast." I came to Jesus as I was, weary and worn and sad; I found in Him a resting place, and He has made me glad. I heard the voice of Jesus say, "Behold, I freely give The living water; thirsty one, stoop down, and drink, and live." I came to Jesus, and I drank of that life giving stream; My thirst was quenched, my soul revived, and now I live in Him. I heard the voice of Jesus say, "I am this dark world's Light; Look unto Me, thy morn shall rise, and all thy day be bright." I looked to Jesus, and I found in Him my Star, my Sun; And in that light of life I'll walk, till traveling days are done.

History's Clues to America's Crisis A Two-Century-Old Warning by Pastor Chauncey Lee July 4th, 1800 AD Home Articles Quotes Scriptures Empires rise and fall. Though military might and a measure of cultural (not Christian) ethics brought times of peace and progress to some "great" civilizations, they all crumbled after a century or two. Might America's freedom fade as well? If so, why? You can find some insights and answers in the following message by Rev. Chauncey Lee, who followed the famed Rev. Jonathan Edwards as pastor of a church in Connecticut. Concerned about the rising assault on Christian faith and freedom, he compares America's foes two centuries ago to (1) the serpent who tempted Eve and (2) the left-wing, anti-Christian revolutionaries called Jacobins. Led by the devious but charismatic Robespierre, this tyrannical movement steered the bloodiest part of the French Revolution during the 1790s. Since the 18th-century language in this "discourse" is hard to read and understand, much has been left out. Wherever explanations were needed, words were added within a parenthesis. "And the woman said unto the serpent, 'We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden, but of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, 'ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.'" Genesis 3:2-3. This day, fellow-citizens, completes twenty four years since our country emerged from a state of dependence upon a foreign power, and assumed a rank among the nations of the earth, as a free, and independent republic.... I beg leave to call your serious attention to the present state of things. I see this my duty, both as a fellow-citizen... and as a spiritual watchman... to hold up to your view, the dangers which threaten our country... and point to the means of deliverance and safety.... A restless, factious spirit constantly impelling to innovation and change is both unreasonable in its nature, and fatally pernicious in its effects. Or in other words... when mankind, either as individuals or nations, abandon those principles, and depart from that line of conduct, which God hath prescribed and by his word or providence clearly pointed out as the path of duty and happiness, they do it at their utmost peril. Evil inevitably ensues, and certain destruction is the end.... The text in Genesis, refers to the original constitution under which man was placed, and points directly to the fruitful source of all the evils and miseries, which have ever embittered and poisoned the cup of humanity. Our first parents then composed the whole family of man.... God their Creator, was their Governor and King. He had made the most ample provision for the supply of all their wants, and the gratification of every reasonable desire..... [Happiness depended] upon their obedience to the divine law

Thank you for the reminder RD...and gentle warning..... so glad the Lord kept you safe and Had his Hand upon you....love you sis in Jesus and miss you too.....its been awhile since I have seen you...

Do you believe in Easter? A heart-warning reminder to celebrate the Resurrection each day of our lives. by Russel Kelfer (See the note at the end) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Lady's name was Edith Burns. She was a wonderful Christian who lived in San Antonio, Texas. She was the patient of a fine Christian doctor by the name of Will Phillips, a gentle doctor who saw patients as people. His favorite patient was Edith Burns. One morning he went to his office with a heavy heart and it was because of Edith Burns. When he walked into that waiting room, there sat Edith with her big black Bible in her lap. She was earnestly talking to a young mother sitting beside her. Dr. Phillips knew why Edith was there and what she was doing. You see, Edith Burns had a habit of introducing herself in this way: "Hello, my name is Edith Burns. Do you believe in Easter?" Then she would explain the meaning of Easter, and many times people would be saved. Dr. Phillips said to the nurse, "Beverly, don't call Edith into the office quite yet. I believe there is another delivery taking place in the waiting room. After being called back in the doctor's office, Edith sat down and when she took a look at the doctor she said, "Dr. Will, why are you so sad? Are you reading your Bible? Are you praying?" Dr. Phillips said, "Now Edith, I'm the doctor and you're the patient." With a heavy heart he said, "your lab report came back and it says you have cancer, and Edith, you're not going to live very long." Edith said, "Why Will Phillips, shame on you. Why are you so sad? Do you think God makes mistakes? You have just told me I'm going to see my precious Lord Jesus, my husband, and my friends. You have just told me that I am going to celebrate Easter forever, and here you are having difficulty giving me my ticket!" Dr. Phillips thought to himself, "What a magnificent woman this Edith Burns is!" Edith continued coming to Dr. Phillips every day. Christmas came and the office was closed through January 3rd. On the day the office opened, Edith did not show up. Later that afternoon, Edith called Dr. Phillips and said she would have to be moving her story to the hospital and said, "Will, I'm very near home, so would you make sure that they put women in here next to me in my room who need to know about Easter. Well, they did just that and women began to come in and share that room with Edith. Many women were gloriously saved. Everybody on that floor from staff to patients were so excited about Edith, that they started calling her Edith Easter; everyone except Phyllis Cross, the head nurse. She made it plain that she wanted nothing to do with Edith because she was a "religious nut." She had been a nurse in an army hospital. She had seen it all and heard it all. She was the original G.I. Jane. She had been married three times, she was hard, cold, and did everything by the book. Well, one morning the two nurses who were to attend to Edith were sick. Edith had the flu and Phyllis Cross had to go in and give her a flu shot. When she walked in, Edith had a big smile on her face and said, "Phyllis, God loves you and I love you, and I have been praying for you." Phyllis Cross said, "Well, you can quit praying for me, you religious nut, it won't work. I'm not interested." Edith said, "Well, I will pray and I have asked God not to let me go home until you come into the family." Phyllis Cross said, "Then you will never die because that will never happen." She walked out of the room. Every day Phyllis Cross would walk into that room and Edith would say, "God loves you Phyllis and I love you, and I'm praying for you." One day Phyllis Cross said she was literally drawn to Edith's room like a magnet would draw iron. She sat down on the bed and Edith said, "I'm so glad you have come, because God told me that today is your special day." Phyllis Cross said, "Edith, you have asked everybody here the question, 'Do you believe in Easter?' but you have never asked me." Edith said, "Phyllis, I wanted to many times, but God told me to wait until you asked, and now that you have asked..." She took her Bible and shared with Phyllis Cross the Easter Story of the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Then she asked, "Phyllis, do you believe in Easter? Do you believe that Jesus Christ is alive and that He wants to live in your heart?" Phyllis Cross said, "Oh I want to believe that with all of my heart, and I do want Jesus in my life." Right there, Phyllis Cross prayed and invited Jesus Christ into her heart. For the first time Phyllis Cross did not walk out of a hospital room, she was carried out on the wings of angels. Two days later, Phyllis Cross came in and Edith said, "Do you know what day it is?" Phyllis Cross said, "Why Edith, it's Good Friday." Edith said, "Oh, no, for you every day is Easter. Happy Easter Phyllis!" Well, two days later, on Easter Sunday, Phyllis Cross came into work, did some of her duties and then went down to the flower shop and got some Easter lilies because she wanted to go up to see Edith and give her those Easter lilies and wish her a Happy Easter. When she walked into Edith's room, Edith was in bed. That big black Bible was on her lap. Her hands were in that Bible and there was a sweet smile on her face. When Phyllis Cross went to pick up Edith's hand, she realized Edith was dead. Her left hand was on John 14: "In my Father's house are many mansions. I go to prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself, that where I am, there you may be also." Her right hand was on Revelation 21:4, "And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes, there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying; and there shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away." Phyllis Cross took one look at that dead body, and then lifted her face toward heaven, and with tears streaming down here cheeks, said, "Happy Easter, Edith Burns - Happy Easter!" Phyllis Cross left Edith's body, walked out of the room, and over to a table where two student nurses were sitting. She said, "My name is Phyllis Cross. Do you believe in Easter? 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?"

"I had the opportunity to hear him read the story in a church service several years ago before his death. I thought you might want to see the whole story or make a link to his site or something like that."

It is crazy we have to pay for this now and not get the services for it til 4 years from now...that is flat out wrong!!!!!....I tell you...our country and goverment is broke....broke...its to pay them more money to pocket and live thier lavish life styles while we cannot afford to eat or live or pay rent!!!!!! people need to rise up now and march and demand, demand this all be done away with....this is so serious and if we don,t do something now...then the antichrist will have america lock, stock and barrel

I am NOT worried NO matter what.... I will have ultimate faith in Jesus Christ Alone....If He needs to send down manna for heaven for us He will...also I believe He will heal us and be our doctor during this time......BLIND FAITH.....

What Does it All Mean? By Jan Markell Olive Tree Ministries - www.olivetreeviews.org/ March 24. 2010 Home Emphasis added I believe I have studied under the best of the best teachers when it comes to what the Bible lays out for us in the last days. Many are dazed at the rapid decline of America. The passage of health care wasn't about health care; rather, the socialization of America. America just came under the power of Saul Alinsky. But some of us, while grieved, look at the broader picture. So, this is how I see it. Revelation, chapters 13 and 17, lays out a coming one-world political system, one-world leader, one-world religion, and a one-world financial system (cashless). We don't know when this will all be implemented, but we do know the biggest factor holding up the one-world order has been America, the superpower like no other. In the coming system, all nations will likely be "equal." That is, there will be no superpower other than, perhaps, the European Union -- a consortium of powerful European nations. Even some individual nations in Europe are crumbling as I write this so some of those nations will band together and become the end-time power. Economic chaos is likely to level the playing field of all the world's players on this strange chessboard. Economic chaos will also bring down China and Russia, although both seem to have major roles in the last days as they invade Israel, one in the Gog/Magog war and one in the Battle of Armageddon. Their empires and land mass are enormous. But the number one superpower has been America and now we see her imploding due to corrupt politics, greed, love of self, love of power, and the personification of the Bible verse that says, "The heart is more deceitful than all else and desperately wicked; who can understand it?" (Jeremiah 17:9) So the bottom line is that America has been the primary obstacle to the one-world system. We see the decline of the dollar which has been one of the major currencies for decades, yet it stands in the way of a one-world economic/financial system. Barack Obama and others say we are not a Christian nation, but that is nonsense because the church in America, in spite of its weaknesses today, stands in the way of the coming one-world religion. On the other hand, we have the apostate church in the U.S. which will go along with a one-world religion. As this is being written, there is an assault on everything Christian in America. It is to strip us of our godly heritage and rid the U.S. of as much Christianity as possible. This scenario is scripted in the Bible by the inference that as America didn't exist in Bible times: America has to diminish and Europe must rise. The man who could best bring this about promised America and the world "hope and change" and the uninformed bought it hook, line, and sinker. But Barack Obama is just one player in this global chess game. Nonetheless, he gave the world an image that he was the new "world leader" during the 2008 campaign. This is what the world longs for: A "man with a plan." There needs to be a one-world leader but it is not him. Capitalism must go and must be replaced by a socialized world. You say this will take decades. Look at what has happened in just over a year! So not only are we threatened from without by radical Islam, we are threatened from without and within by a group of intelligent globalists who are convincing America and the nations of the world that the only way to lasting world peace is the establishment of global government. And all nations will have to be equal for this to work efficiently. Globalists have no respect for the people who elected them; no respect for their office; no respect for the American Constitution; no respect for what it means to be entrusted by the people of any nation to serve in a high capacity. Their only maniacal goal is the consolidation of more money and power into the hands of the few in order to control and manipulate the entire world. This coming system is not some prophetically speculative or futuristic fairy tale, but a real world reality outlined in the Bible. It is not some whacko conspiracy theory being advanced by the fringe society. It's an orchestrated agenda which God had planned for before the foundations of the earth. But America has not made it possible for the globalists to get their agenda through until now. We see that through the corrupt-to-the-core Obama administration, they are pressing forward to the prize -- a one-world system with America subservient to the European Union. We just don't know the timing, nor the timing of the return of our "blessed hope" Who remains our only hope. Because so many feel a foolish one-world system is the answer for global unity, I feel the words of Isaiah 66:4 have been in play for several years: "I also will choose their delusions, and will bring their fears upon them; because when I called, none did answer; when I spoke, they did not hear, but they did evil before mine eyes, and chose that in which I delighted not." God sent delusion and this is the result. He sent the delusion to fulfill His Word. It is strong delusion that is causing some Americans to stand behind globalists who will bring about a system outlined in the book of Revelation. Where one gets in trouble with this kind of theology and opinion is when it leads to an "I give up" mentality. Good people stop fighting evil. Some just roll over. Some go into complete apathy and escapism. Remember the profound statement by Edmund Burke: "All that is necessary for evil to triumph is for good people to do nothing." Just keep expectations realistic and Bible-focused. Now, what is the good news? We can only change the world by changing the spirituality of a culture. In the meantime, we can contend for the faith, preach the gospel, and be salt and light to a frightened world. And since all of the above are scripted, the final act is as well. We can know with certainty that the King of kings is coming back very soon. Right now some are wailing and calling this "escapist theology." Go ahead and wail. What is happening is in the "all these things must come to pass" (Matthew 24:6) category. We cannot stop such events. We cannot alter the way it is outlined in the Bible. If you have the proper eschatology, all that is happening makes perfect sense. If you follow the Pied Pipers of Amillennialism, Preterism, Replacement Theology, Latter Rain, Kingdom Now, and more, you will be lost in the maze of bizarre current events. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- See God's eternal, unchanging Word -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Olive Tree Ministries, Inc. -- www.olivetreeviews.org/ Box 1452, Maple Grove, MN 55311 763-493-3010or 763-210-8291 Other articles by Jan Markell: Playtime for Kids and It's Called Divination There's No Power in This Blood!

A Way Out of Soviet-Style Health Care Solzhenitsyn's prophetic warning about the depersonalization of medicine. By MILTON FRIEDMAN, Wall Street Journal, March 20, 2010 Home Solzhenitsyn's Warning The following statements from "The Cancer Ward" by Alexander Solzhenitsyn were quoted in a 1996 article with above title by Nobel Prize winning economist Milton Friedman, who died in 2006. Editor's note: "In a chapter in his novel 'The Cancer Ward' titled 'The Old Doctor,' Alexander Solzhenitsyn compares 'private medical practice' with 'universal, free, public health service' through the words of an elderly physician whose practice predated 1918.... In Mr. Solzhenitsyn's words, "among all these persecutions [of the old doctor] the most persistent and stringent had been directed against the fact that Doctor Oreschenkov clung stubbornly to his right to conduct a private medical practice, although this was forbidden." In Mr. Solzhenitsyn's words, "among all these persecutions [of the old doctor] the most persistent and stringent had been directed against the fact that Doctor Oreschenkov clung stubbornly to his right to conduct a private medical practice, although this was forbidden." In the words of Dr. Oreschenkov in conversation with Lyudmila Afanasyevna, a longtime patient and herself a physician in the cancer ward: "In general, the family doctor is the most comforting figure in our lives. But he has been cut down and foreshortened. . . . Sometimes it's easier to find a wife than to find a doctor nowadays who is prepared to give you as much time as you need and understands you completely, all of you." Lyudmila Afanasyevna: "All right, but how many of these family doctors would be needed? They just can't be fitted into our system of universal, free, public health services."

Global War on Christian Values - Part 1 Unity in an Anti-Christian World? By Berit Kjos - March 13, 2010 Home Emphasis added The new millennium has brought some ominous changes. Last month alone unleashed a flood of anti-Christian plots around the world. All were designed to suppress God's unchanging truth -- an intolerable obstacle to global solidarity. Even "friendly" regimes have joined this war on faith: "There is a growing and intensifying attack on Christians around the world. It is not just confined to the Middle East and Islamic countries."[1] "...lawmakers in the lower house of the Mexican Congress approved a bill officially instituting the separation of church and state....The bill passed 363 in favor with one 'no' vote and one abstention. It 'guarantees the autonomy of institutions from religious norms, rules and convictions..."[2] "Moroccan authorities raided [the orphanage] Village of Hope and said they were expelling the 20 workers and parents. The 33 children who were being cared for cried out 'hysterically' for their foster parents as they were left behind.... Lately Morocco has taken a tyrannical stance against Christians, forcibly deporting foreigners and bringing charges against the Moroccan nationals they associated with.

"Are We Fundamentalists?" by Dr. Peter Masters Minister of the Metropolitan Tabernacle in central London This ministry started in 1865 by Pastor C. H. Spurgeon Home Index THERE ARE NOW TWO KINDS OF EVANGELICAL.... The old is the authentic, biblical position. The new is far off the track, not in its basic view of salvation, but in its readiness to compromise with doctrinal error and worldly ways. The new is selling the faith for earthly respect and recognition... and churches are being ruined. [illustrations] Today, old-style evangelicals are in the minority.... This booklet attempts to give a clear picture of the present alarming scene, in order to encourage believers to take a clear stand. Old-style evangelicals are often called fundamentalists, particularly in the USA. New-style evangelicals adopted the term, 'new evangelical' to describe themselves in the 1950s. ...We are told that the fundamentalist label was first coined in America in 1920 to describe militant evangelicals. ... It would be fairer to say that fundamentalist is someone who cares about the defense and preservation of the Gospel... Those of us who are old-style evangelicals are now being labeled as fundamentalist by our critics, the new-style evangelicals. A repetition is occurring of what happened at Antioch, where the 'the disciples were called Christians first' (Acts 11.26). That glorious name was given to them by their critics.... Why are the new-style evangelicals calling us fundamentalist? They are doing so for reasons of tactical self-advantage. ... Harold J. Okenga, the distinguished Boston pastor, joined with Carl F. Henry and Billy Graham to steer American evangelicals into a more liberal position, they were keen to be known as the new evangelicals. They founded the magazine Christianity Today as the flagship journal for their new direction. ... The new evangelicals were inclusivistic rather than separatistic. They ... urged Bible-believers to stay in compromised denominations.... Liberal scholarship was studied and in many respects embraced.... The old, sharp line between worldly activities and spiritual activities was swept away, and believers were encouraged to be much more involved in worldly culture, leisure and entertainment. ... ...the new evangelicals began to put less stress upon the new, and to speak of themselves simply as evangelicals, and the old-style believers as fundamentalists. This made them sound more orthodox. All that remained was to give the term fundamentalist an objectionable, negative image, and the new evangelicals would then appear to be mainstream. This is precisely what is now happening in Britain. The new evangelicals are appropriating to themselves the exclusive use of the term evangelical, and calling old-style believers fundamentalists. Like their American mentors they define the latter term in the most objectionable way.[1] -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- You may want to visit the Biblical old Metropolitan Tabernacle and order this special 30-page booklet reprinted from a 1995 issue of The Sword and Trowel. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Examples of the "new evangelical" church An Idolatrous Silence - Evangelicals & the Egalitarianism of Sin: "...I woke up to find myself the campus minister of a banned Christian fellowship.

Science and the Supernatural By Carl Teichrib, Chief Editor Forcing Change, Volume 4, Issue 2, March 2010 Home "In the past few centuries, science has made us aware that the universe is stranger and more interesting than our ancestors realised. It is an amusing thought that it may turn out stranger and more interesting than even the scientists are willing to admit."

First off if you have been taught wrong, whose fault is it?? it is YOURS..for not reading the word for yourself and having personal relationship with GOD....every single word in that bible will come to pass......every crossed t and dotted i....so there is ABSOLUTELY NO UNTRUTH IN THE BIBLE...NOT ONE....butero has much Godly wisdom from the word of God...If I were you I would listen to him...

WOW amen how beautiful and honest this is and full of Godly wisdom...I see the Lord has worked in your heart.....how nice to get a mans point of view...to bad you don't know him to fellowship with him....as iron sharpeneth iron.......

Praying here for the peace of Jerusalem...
