How about nuts for protein? I should know, I'm a certified nut.

Galatians 2:20 " I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me. " Live in Christ and Christ in you.

Very well stated.

If people don't believe we have made progress in Iraq and for a reason, take a look at this: http://www.midwestheroes.com/docs/video/ Also look at the progress report on the site too.

WOW!

Hamas Leader Khaled Mash'al at a Damascus Mosque: The Nation of Islam Will Sit at the Throne of the World and the West Will Be Full of Remorse When It Is Too Late Following are excerpts from an address given by Hamas leader Khaled Mash'al at the Al-Murabit Mosque in Damascus. The address was delivered following the Friday sermon at the mosque and was aired on Al-Jazeera TV on February 3, 2006. Khaled Mash'al: We apologize to our Prophet Muhammad, but we say to him: Oh Prophet of Allah, do not be saddened, your nation will be victorious. We say to this West, which does not act reasonably, and does not learn its lessons: By Allah, you will be defeated. You will be defeated in Palestine, and your defeat there has already begun. True, it is Israel that is being defeated there, but when Israel is defeated, its path is defeated, those who call to support it are defeated, and the cowards who hide behind it and support it are defeated. Israel will be defeated, and so will whoever supported or supports it. America will be defeated in Iraq. Wherever the [islamic] nation is targeted, its enemies will be defeated, Allah willing. The nation of Muhammad is gaining victory in Palestine. The nation of Muhammad is gaining victory in Iraq, and it will be victorious in all Arab and Muslim lands. "Their multitudes will be defeated and turn their backs [and flee]." These fools will be defeated, the wheel of time will turn, and times of victory and glory will be upon our nation, and the West will be full of remorse, when it is too late. They think that history has ended with them. They do not know that the law of Allah cannot be changed or replaced. "You shall not find a substitute for the law of Allah. You shall not find any change to the law of Allah." Today, the Arab and Islamic nation is rising and awakening, and it will reach its peak, Allah willing. It will be victorious. It will link the present to the past. It will open up the horizons of the future. It will regain the leadership of the world. Allah willing, the day is not far off. Don't you see that every act of deceit they contrive is being turned against them by Allah? Don't you see that they make every effort to defeat us militarily, but fail to do so? Israel and the occupation forces in Iraq are supplied with the entire Western military arsenal, yet they fail and are defeated. Don't you see that they believe they are capable of using democracy to deceive the people, but then democracy is turned against them? Don't you see that they are spending their money in efforts to block the way of Allah, to thwart Hamas, to defeat it, and to help those whom they want, but [this plot] is turned against them? They are not acting reasonably. They do not understand the Arab or Muslim mentality, which rejects the foreigner. Our Arab forefathers, before the advent of Islam, rejected the aggressors and the foreigners. [...] I bring good tidings to our beloved Prophet Muhammad: Allah's promise and the Prophet's prophecy of our victory in Palestine over the Jews and over the oppressive Zionists has begun to come true. [...] I say to the [European countries]: Hurry up and apologize to our nation, because if you do not, you will regret it. This is because our nation is progressing and is victorious. Do not leave a black mark in the collective memory of the nation, because our nation will not forgive you. Tomorrow, our nation will sit on the throne of the world. This is not a figment of the imagination, but a fact. Tomorrow we will lead the world, Allah willing. Apologize today, before remorse will do you no good. Our nation is moving forwards, and it is in your interest to respect a victorious nation. [...] Our nation will be victorious. When it reaches the leadership of the world, and controls its own will decisions, then it will prevent this overt interference [in our affairs], and its pillaging of natural resources, and will prevent these recurring offenses against our land, against our nation, and against our holy places

The need to decide if losing so many soldiers to helicopter crashes is worth using them. At least review designs and see if the mistake can be eliminated.

Too late in the game for a revolution. This church age is winding down to the end.

Here is the problem at heart. Instead of winning homosexuals to Christ, we try to eliminate them from the earth with words, violence, and even murder. Are they the only one who has sin in their life? OR, is it a sin that even Christians can't tolerate. If so, then you are UnChristian. My Jesus believes in saving even Homosexuals. What does your Jesus believe in?

You are correct. It seems that Abraham produced two lineages. The Lineage of Christ, and the lineage of the Anti-Christ. Now it seems that the world is quickly taking sides.

Iran, Russia and Ezekiel One of the highlights of President Bush's State of the Union speech was his jab at the far Left, reminding them that "hindsight is not wisdom and second guessing was not a strategy." Nowhere is that truth more evident than when considering our next move in the nuclear stand-off with the mad mullahs of Iran. Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad responded to Bush's promise to defend Israel by mocking the West, telling a crowd of thousands near Bushehr; "I am telling those fake superpowers that the Iranian nation became independent 27 years ago and ... on the nuclear case, it will resist until fully achieving its rights." Ahmadinejad's war talk has even started to make the Russians and Chinese nervous. The Russians realize that they helped let the nuclear genie out of the bottle, but they didn't expect to find themselves joining the effort to try and stuff it back in. The Security Council's five permanent members, including a reluctant Russia and China, have asked the U.N. nuclear watchdog to report Iran to New York "immediately." The IAEA said in a confidential report last week that Iran had already begun preparing for uranium enrichment. Tehran makes no effort to deny its connection with what it calls "resistance groups" or "liberation movements" like Hezbollah or Hamas. Ahmadinejad just concluded a meeting in Damascus with leaders of Hezbollah, Palestinian Jihad, Hamas, and the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine on January 20th. At that meeting, Ahmadinejad reminded the Muslim world that "continued resistance" is the "only way" to end "the occupation of the holy Islamic lands" by Israel. In remarks commemorating the 27th anniversary of the Islamic Revolution last week, Ahmadinejad promised Israel 'will be removed.' "We ask the West to remove what they created sixty years ago and if they do not listen to our recommendations, then the Palestinian nation and other nations will eventually do this for them. . . . Do the removal of Israel before it is too late and save yourself from the fury of regional nations," he thundered. Ahamdinejad also reportedly said that while giving an address to the UN he underwent a 'mystical experience' that convinced him that the great end-times Islamic war against the infidels was at hand, and that it fell to Ahmadinejad to 'kick things off' if necessary. (It was probably when Ahmadinejad started seeing halos and getting fuzzy spiritual experiences about starting the Islamic end of the world that Moscow began to have second thoughts about its Iranian nuclear program.) The Hebrew prophet Ezekiel, writing from his vantage point in history, circa 537 BC, predicted that in the last days, there would be a great war involving not only Islam, but dragging an unwilling Moscow along for the ride, as if God had put 'hooks in its jaws', the prophet said. Leading the Islamic alliance, according to Ezekiel, is Persia, (modern Iran). Together with the Islamic nations of North Africa and the Mediterranean Middle East, Ezekiel says they will constitute an invasion force that will move against the nation of Israel. In Ezekiel's day, there had been no nation called 'Israel' for almost two centuries and no sovereign nation called Israel would exist for another 2500 years. Today, in 2006, Israel exists, as Ezekiel predicted. Iran, [Persia] is Israel's sworn enemy, as Ezekiel predicted. The Islamic world is poised, waiting for an excuse to wipe Israel off the map, as Ahmadinejad is promising to do if Iran obtains nuclear weapons. Israel, facing the potential of annihilation at the hands of a nuclear Iran, will have to take action to stop the Iranians as a matter of national survival.

Iran Vs. America

I think the RCC had a little to do with Christian apathy in Europe, but I think there is a much more sinister force at work. Satan himself.

I don't think that there will be another Ronald Reagan to grace the White House. He was one in a million.

The Exxon Oil Co. sells gasoline with ethanol additive and has for years.

Excerpt from A. W. Tozer It is precisely the "yearning" and the "fainting" for the return of Christ that has distinguished the personal hope from the theological one. Mere acquaintance with correct doctrine is a poor substitute for Christ, and familiarity with New Testament eschatology will never take the place of a love-inflamed desire to look on his face. If the tender yearning is gone from the advent hope today, there must be a reason for it; and I think I know what it is, or what they are, for there are a number of them. One is simply that popular fundamentalist theology has emphasized the utility of the cross rather than the beauty of the one who died on it. The saved man's relation to Christ has been made contractual instead of personal. The "work" of Christ has been stressed until it has eclipsed the person of Christ. Substitution has been allowed to supersede identification. What he did for me seems to be more important than what He is to me. Redemption is seen as an across-the-counter transaction which we "accept", and the whole thing lacks emotional content. We must love someone very much to stay awake and long for his coming, and that may explain the absence of power in the advent hope even among those who still believe in it. Another reason for the absence of real yearning for Christ's return is that Christians are so comfortable in this world that they have little desire to leave it. For those leaders who set the pace of religion and determine its content and quality, Christianity has become of late remarkably lucrative. The streets of gold do not have too great an appeal for those who find it so easy to pile up gold and silver in the service of the Lord here on earth. We all want to reserve the hope of heaven as a kind of insurance against the day of death, but as long as we are healthy and comfortable, why change a familiar good for something about which we know very little? So reasons the carnal mind, and so subtly that we are scarcely aware of it.

Wonder if they can convert them all to Islam.

And this is exactly what Russia wants us to do.

And most of these protesters are grown adults.

This is nothing but a trial balloon by some over-testosteroned males wanting to indulge in their fantisies.

This is all child's play. Just do what the Muslims didn't. Ignore them.

You will never win a battle against sin with hatred. End of point. If you do use violence in retaliation you are no better than the other side. If confronted, use of force to keep you from bodily harm is up to your best judgment.

Way to Go!
