EXAMPLES OF CHRISTIAN CHARITY BY "THE CORPORATE CHRUCH"

Recently, I wrote in response to a video put out by Brannon Howse on his Worldview Weekend site.  In this video Mr. Howse addressed the issue of charity in the "corporate Christian Church," where he claims that the biblical mandate is one of exclusion of non-Christians' need and one favoring only Christians who have need.

In other words, as far as he is concerned, the biblcial position is to favor the Christian believer over the non-Christian unbeliever with our charity, and that it is wrong for the corporate Christian Church to be involved in any work of charity that extends outside of its congregation, or outside of the body of Christ.

This is not biblical, and in that article which I've posted here on this site, I explain why such a view is not biblical and not Christ-like.  While I agree with Mr. Howse that it is not the role of the Christian Church to get involved in Liberation Theology, Black Liberation Theology, Socialist and Communist "Wars of National Liberation," Social Change, Social Justice, or Economic Justice and other liberal and far Left Marxist causes, it is the role of the Church, and I mean each and every individual in the body of Christ - as much as it is possible, to be involved through our congregations in Christian Orthopraxy, something that Mr. Howse and his colleagues seemed to have overlooked.

This is to be used as a tool to extend the caring arm of God's hand to those who are truly needy in our communties, and to bring the Gospel of Jesus the Messiah while we do it.  Christian charity is the best venue in which to launch envangelistic campaigns within our own communities, as we win souls for God's kingdom - souls who are lost and for whom Christ died and rose again from the grave.

The best example I can give of this is Samaritan's Purse led by the Reverend Franklin Graham, Billy Graham's son, and the 700 Club's Operation Rescue, but the local church can be involved too.

My own congregation of Beth Israel is very involved in this work in its Compassion Projects, and every offering given at every service is used for this purpose.  These are some of the blessings that Beth Israel's Compassion Projects have brought to the needy of many lands while sharing the Gospel of salvation with the lost in those lands:

1.) They have assisted in providing housing, food, and clothing, while helping to promote the spiritual growth of widows in Armenia.
2.) They have given umbrellas and rain ponchos to persecuted believers in Burma and Thailand during the rainy season.
3.) They've provided Israeli women (Jewish and Arabic) with a Messiah-based discipleship ministry to help them overcome life-controlling problems such as drug and alcohol addiction, homelessness, and abusive relationships.
4.) They helped pastors in Mindanao, Philippines revive farming as a supply ministry.
5.) They've helped share the Gospel and rescue children in Ghana oppressed and treated as domestic slaves or forced to hard labor.
6.) In Africa, they're helping support the Sicite language team and provide much needed Scripture materials in this unreached nation in Africa.
7.) In Mongolia, they're helping to train the poor on how to properly care for their animals which are a source of income in that land.

And there is much more that I can cite here as examples to help ilustrate the proper Christian and biblical manner in which we as believers can extend God's caring hand to other people.

Part of America's biblical iliteracy is theology that excludes and favors some over others and misuses the Word of God to justify it in the name of Christianity.  This is another sign of our times, and part of the apostasy and falling away.  The theology of exclusivity and superiority has no place in the Christian Faith, and is antithetical to the teachings of Jesus Christ and His disciples.

THE OBAMANATION @ A GLANCE - WELCOME TO ORWELL'S 1984 IN 2013

THE VOW OF DEFIANCE ECHOING ISAIAH 9:10 IS NOW ATOP THE TALLEST STRUCTURE IN THE WESTERN HEMISPHERE

THE THIRD WITNESS HAS NOW HAND-WRITTEN AND SIGNED HIS REPEATED DEFIANT VOW AND IT NOW STANDS ATOP THE TALLEST STRUCTURE IN THE WESTERN HEMISPHERE

On May 10th, 2013, the last part of the WTC Freedom Tower – now called One World Trade Center – was placed at the top of tower, making it 1776 feet in height, and making it the tallest structure in the North American Continent.
He wrote; “We remember, we rebuild, we come back stronger.” 
Yes, it actually says:

“We remember

“We rebuild

“We come back stronger”
Then he signed it as President of the United States.  Now the defiant vow which makes no room for God, is atop the highest structure in the Western Hemisphere.  Obama has signed what he uttered in 2009, and not only was the third witness to take ownership of that ancient vow, but now has signed it with his name and it is at the highest elevation in the Americas!

The beam is also signed by Michelle Obama, as well as dozens of other people, including construction workers and police officers.

Someone made the following comment about this:

“I thought this had already happened, but then read today- 10 May 2013, that the spire went on today. This may be the cap that pokes the finger in the eye of God and hell is now officially sanctioned to break loose. Think tower of Babel, Sodom & Gomorrah, Tyre, and the proud Israelites worshipping evil gods.”

I too felt the significance of the moment; well, I sensed it more than felt it, and gave it to the Lord who knows all things and who is merciful beyond fault; to enlighten US if there is a significance to this beyond the historical import of the moment.  I know that it is the tallest and most evident structure of the leaders of this nation’s government, industry, and commerce to rebuild taller, rebuild stronger, and recover on their own without giving G-d His proper place at the head of this nation. 

And like ancient Israel who vowed, “We will rebuild with hewn stones, we plant cedars, and we will recover,” in great arrogance and defiance to the judgment visited upon them; so we too in great arrogance of heart and in defiance of anyone and anything that attempts to get in our way, without first questioning God’s sovereign will in this, we too have embarked to do things on our own without His blessing or His protect.

It is in great and stark contrast to our nation’s leaders, who upon its founding on April 30th, 1789, walked en masse as one man from Statutory Hall where its first president took the oath of office; and entered St. Paul’s Chapel on the corner of what later would be called Ground Zero, where their first act as this nation’s leaders – as one body and at the head of one nation – consecrated this new nation to G-d and asked for His divine protection and blessings over it – in the name of Jesus Christ, the Only name given under heaven among men by which we must be saved. (Acts 4:12)

Was there a significance to this moment?  Yes, there was.  It was another in a long line of actions that the captains of industry, commerce, and politics took without committing their work and their fate to Almighty G-d.  It began with the most significant public religious pronunciation made by a US Senator, which was in fact a renunciation, when then Senator Barack Hussein Obama made a statement in a June 2007 speech available on YouTube, and later reaffirmed the it by repeating it as this nation’s president.  The exact statement given by Obama as a sitting junior US Senator for Illinois was:

“Whatever we once were, we’re no longer a Christian nation. At least not just. We are also a Jewish nation, a Muslim nation, and a Buddhist nation, and a Hindu nation, and a nation of nonbelievers.”

According to Aaron Kline, writing for WND, Obama appears to have blasted what he calls the “Christian Right,” accusing them of hijacking religion and using it to divide the nation.  Quoting Obama verbatim, Kline writes:

“Somehow, somewhere along the way, faith stopped being used to bring us together and started being used to drive us apart. It got hijacked. Part of it’s because of the so-called leaders of the Christian Right, who’ve been all too eager to exploit what divides us,” he said.

When he was asked a year later to clarify his remarks, the president decided to repeat them to the Christian Broadcast Network.  Rather than distancing himself from them, he instead embraced them even more.  Again, quoting Obama, Kline writes:

“I think that the right might worry a bit more about the dangers of sectarianism. Whatever we once were, we’re no longer just a Christian nation; we are also a Jewish nation, a Muslim nation, a Buddhist nation, a Hindu nation, and a nation of nonbelievers,” Obama wrote in an e-mail to CBN News senior national correspondent David Brody.

“We should acknowledge this and realize that when we’re formulating policies from the state house to the Senate floor to the White House, we’ve got to work to translate our reasoning into values that are accessible to every one of our citizens, not just members of our own faith community,” wrote Obama.

Obama did clarify his statement about the “Christian Right.”

‘“My intention was to contrast the heated partisan rhetoric of a distinct minority of Christian leaders with the vast majority of Evangelical Christians – conservatives included – who believe that hate has no place in our politics.

‘“When you have pastors and television pundits who appear to explicitly coordinate with one political party; when you’re implying that your fellow Americans are traitors, terrorist sympathizers or akin to the devil himself; then I think you’re attempting to hijack the faith of those who follow you for your own personal or political ends,”’ wrote Obama.”

Further on in his article, Kline writes:

“The Gateway Pundit blog took notice of Obama’s speech about the U.S. being a nation also for Muslims and non-believers.

“This won’t play well in the Bible Belt,” commented the blog in a recent posting.

Obama’s campaign has long utilized faith as a central theme. The candidate’s Christianity and his former membership in the controversial Trinity United Church of Christ have been much scrutinized.

His comment about the “Christian Right” echoed similar statements made by Merrill A. McPeak, Obama’s military adviser and national campaign co-chairman.

As WND reported, in a 2003 interview with The Oregonian newspaper, McPeak seemed to compare evangelical Christians to the terror groups Hamas and Hezbollah.

The Oregonian interviewer asked McPeak whether “there’s an element within Hamas, Hezbollah, that doesn’t want Israel to exist at all and always will be there?”

McPeak responded by comparing the two terror groups to “radical” Oregonians.

“There’s an element in Oregon, you know, that’s always going to be radical in some pernicious way, and likely to clothe it in religious garments, so it makes it harder to attack. So there’s craziness all over the place.”

Oregon has a large evangelical Christian community.

His reiteration of that statement and the increased belligerent attitudes towards mainstream Evangelical Christians whom he labels the “Christian Right,” coupled with actions his government under his watch has made against the Christian Community in America; his full disclosure and embrace of the LGBT deviant lifestyle, enforcement of an openly gay agenda as government policy, including the order to the Department of Justice to no longer involve themselves in defending DOMA – the Defense of Marriage Act – passed by congress and signed into law by President Clinton – puts an end to the US government’s recognition of traditional marriage between a couple of opposite sexes – and replaces it with one that redefines marriage as something else, and not as every civilization has recognized it traditionally. 

He has become the first sitting leader of a nation who has enforced a deviant lifestyle as legitimate and protected by the laws of the land.  No one had ever done on this scale before.  It is history making precedent.  Just as his support of infanticide as a national policy paid for by the taxpayer regardless of his/her conscience or religious objections to it.

This president has renounced the Judeo-Christian underpinnings of this republic by declaring it pantheistic, when in fact, even though many of its citizens once came to its shores from many lands with many strange and divergent faiths; the very foundations of our laws, and our way of life comes from the Holy Bible; not the Qoran, not the Bhagavad Gita, and not any other so-called holy book of any other nation under heaven.  This is a fact reiterated time and time again beginning with its first leaders right down until the present day.  All one needs to do to confirm this is browse our nation’s public deliberations, speeches, and statements made by its leaders until a generation ago, and they would discover just how deeply religious this nation’s people and leadership once were, and not just any religion, but Judeo-Christian, encompassing the faith of Judaism and Christianity exclusively in its deliberations and no other.  This is a matter of public record.

THE SIGN OF JUDGMENT IS POOR AND CORRUPT LEADERSHIP – A REFLECTION OF THE POPULATION’S DEGRADATION AND DEGENERATION

With the exception of Elijah Cummings and Charles Rangel, Maxine Waters is the most blatant example and testament to disinformation, illiteracy, and dirty political gerrymandering, and race-based ethnic politics in modern politics today.  That she sits as a legislator, as well as these other "gentlemen," is evidence of our great nation's decline, and the level of political illiteracy and corruption that has befallen our once great nation.

The current occupier of the White House is another example of the same.  Anyone with a background resembling his, under other circumstances and in other times, would not have been eligible for public office, and would've correctly been considered a risk to any federal, state, or local post, much less the office he holds.  No one in their right minds would have voted for him, because they would've been informed enough to understand that someone of his ilk could never be allowed to public office.  That he has made it this far is further evidence that America is under judgment and in decline.


UNSPEAKABLE CORRUPTION FROM THE WHITE HOUSE PENETRATING ALL LEVELS OF OUR GOVERNMENT DOWN TO THE STATE AND LOCAL LEVELS

Never before in the annals of the American political experience has anyone as corrupt and ideologically dangerous as these people served in public office.  The damage that they have collectively done to the body politic – the hyper-partisanship, the various legislations, the moves of congress to change the fundamental functions of government beyond its Constitutional boundaries, the creation of various bureaucracies within our government, the misuse and abuse of federal powers not granted by our Constitution, the kickbacks, paybacks, buybacks, and deliberate use of their office to enrich themselves at the cost of American freedom, liberty, and prosperity; all indicate and bear silent witness to the level of corruption that has penetrated every level of our political system and government from the highest levels in our government right down to the state and local level where the political machinery has all but destroyed true representative government and replaced it with “family”- run dynasties of recurring politicians who keep for themselves large parcels of political power within the two-party system.

Gender-based, race-based, lifestyle-based politics has corrupted the body politic of this nation like a cancer, and has destroyed representative government and replaced it with the politics of the special interest.  Gone are the men and women who once served the people and kept their oath of office, and in their place has arisen this crop of illiterate mobsters, pimps, mac daddies, and carpet baggers, who’ve now made special societies and caucuses for themselves, and who serve only their narrow interests at the cost of the nation’s.

Gone now for quite some time are the men and women of integrity and honesty, who ran for office because they felt the calling to higher office, to serve their communities, and their nation to keep our land free, and our nations safe from enemies foreign and domestic, and in their place are now a vast majority of technocrats, socialists, left-wing radicals, criminals, and crony capitalists; of all stripes who serve only themselves and their own interests at any cost, as long as they cede to themselves powers and authority that our Constitution never granted, but that they exercise at the expense of the ignorance evident in the public’s lack of awareness of these.  This is what we’ve become and this is where our nation is today.

Is it any wonder that we have the numerous scandals before US that this administration – the most corrupt and criminal in US history – has brought to the political landscape?

IN ITS ABUSE OF FEDERAL POWER THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION IS A CRIMINAL ENTITY PASSING ITSELF OFF AS LEGITIMATE GOVERNMENT

The Administration of Barack Hussein Obama has committed willful acts of criminality.  Anyone who conducts themselves in the manner this administration has, and takes part in any or all of the activities this administration has been involved in, would rightly be arrested for criminal activity.  Please take the time to view the following links to videos which is what some are calling Obama’s Watergate.

There is a very real and stark difference between Nixon’s Watergate and Obama’s Fast and Furious Gate; for starters, no one died in the Watergate burglary; a US Border Control Agent died and several others injured, as well as thousands of innocent Mexican citizens, and the spill over into our country of the criminal activities of the drug lords in our own cities.

The Obama Administration conducted this illegal operation using arms smuggled by our federal law enforcement agencies against the Constitution and the laws of the states where  these operations took place, as well as endangering numerous innocent lives on both borders in order to promote its own political anti-second amendment agenda as a pretext to subject US under a UN Treaty that would disarm every American Citizen over against our own Constitution.

Like other presidents, Obama swore to serve and protect our Constitution against enemies foreign and domestic.  He has not fulfilled this pledge, but has broken it in several places.  This is only one place where he has done this, and it alone is enough for him and all those involved in it to be indicted and convicted and impeached on criminal behavior and high crimes and misdemeanor.


From a teacher friend in NC

Yes, Janet, states have the option to adopt the Common Core.  NC did and like everything else education is nationalized.  You have to be like us to catch the indoctrination, I noticed things about stories that other liberal teachers of course didn't.  Mostly very feminist, anti US, for example a story about the poor Japanese people after the big bomb--didn't mention Pearl Harbor.  The first passage on the End of Grade test was about a poor Iranian immigrant?  Have you ever met an Iranian family here, they can't get out can they?  My problem with this was that the kids couldn't connect to an Iranian family, therefore didn't understand the passage.  (ESL kids) I imagine they thought Iran was near Raleigh.  I could go on and on about the Common Core. My opinion is that education should be state and local. Nationalizing it as he has done will make it more of a disaster than it already is.

BTW--did you all hear what he said about Catholic schools?  He said Catholic schools caused division??? HE has caused all of the division in this country.  He can't leave the Catholic Church alone and won't leave one stone unturned before he God willing leaves office.

Prissy

SIDEBAR: Because this president has legitimized that lifestyle and has embarked on a campaign to enforce it as law across the board in every federal agency and our armed forces, we are now degenerating faster than previously had.  This is one of the reasons why in 2008, I warned as many people as could hear and understand that this man was an abomination that brings forth desolation in his wake.  He is a destroyer of nations, and an evil doer.  He is duplicitous and avaricious and he is flanked and guarded by two principalities.  He will remain for a season and must complete his work until he has finished what he began, but woe to those who follow in his wake, and woe to those who support him believing him to be their savior, and woe to the false prophets and spiritual leaders across our land who support him from their pulpits and exhort their flock to go to the voting booth to vote this abomination in.

2/15/1987 | Michael Swift (First Published in Gay Community News, Feb. 15-21, 1987 and also put into the Congressional Record. Author - Michael Swift)

We shall sodomize your sons, emblems of your feeble masculinity, of your shallow dreams and vulgar lies. We shall seduce them in your schools, in your dormitories, in your gymnasiums, in your locker rooms, in your sports arenas, in your seminaries, in your youth groups, in your movie theater bathrooms, in your army bunkhouses, in your truck stops, in your all male clubs, in your houses of Congress, wherever men are with men together. Your sons shall become our minions and do our bidding. They will be recast in our image. They will come to crave and adore us.

Women, you cry for freedom. You say you are no longer satisfied with men; they make you unhappy. We, connoisseurs of the masculine face, the masculine physique, shall take your men from you then. We will amuse them; we will instruct them; we will embrace them when they weep. Women, you say you wish to live with each other instead of with men. Then go and be with each other. We shall give your men pleasures they have never known because we are foremost men too, and only one man knows how to truly please another man; only one man can understand the depth and feeling, the mind and body of another man.

All laws banning homosexual activity will be revoked. Instead, legislation shall be passed which engenders love between men.

All homosexuals must stand together as brothers; we must be united artistically, philosophically, socially, politically and financially. We will triumph only when we present a common face to the vicious heterosexual enemy.

If you dare to cry faggot, fairy, queer, at us, we will stab you in your cowardly hearts and defile your dead, puny bodies.

We shall write poems of the love between men; we shall stage plays in which man openly caresses man; we shall make films about the love between heroic men which will replace the cheap, superficial, sentimental, insipid, juvenile, heterosexual infatuations presently dominating your cinema screens. We shall sculpt statues of beautiful young men, of bold athletes which will be placed in your parks, your squares, your plazas. The museums of the world will be filled only with paintings of graceful, naked lads.


Our writers and artists will make love between men fashionable and de rigueur, and we will succeed because we are adept at setting styles. We will eliminate heterosexual liaisons through usage of the devices of wit and ridicule, devices which we are skilled in employing.

We will unmask the powerful homosexuals who masquerade as heterosexuals. You will be shocked and frightened when you find that your presidents and their sons, your industrialists, your senators, your mayors, your generals, your athletes, your film stars, your television personalities, your civic leaders, your priests are not the safe, familiar, bourgeois, heterosexual figures you assumed them to be. We are everywhere; we have infiltrated your ranks. Be careful when you speak of homosexuals because we are always among you; we may be sitting across the desk from you; we may be sleeping in the same bed with you.

There will be no compromises. We are not middle-class weaklings. Highly intelligent, we are the natural aristocrats of the human race, and steely-minded aristocrats never settle for less. Those who oppose us will be exiled.

We shall raise vast private armies, as Mishima did, to defeat you. We shall conquer the world because warriors inspired by and banded together by homosexual love and honor are invincible as were the ancient Greek soldiers.

The family unit-spawning ground of lies, betrayals, mediocrity, hypocrisy and violence--will be abolished. The family unit, which only dampens imagination and curbs free will, must be eliminated. Perfect boys will be conceived and grown in the genetic laboratory. They will be bonded together in communal setting, under the control and instruction of homosexual savants.

All churches who condemn us will be closed. Our only gods are handsome young men. We adhere to a cult of beauty, moral and esthetic. All that is ugly and vulgar and banal will be annihilated. Since we are alienated from middle-class heterosexual conventions, we are free to live our lives according to the dictates of the pure imagination. For us too much is not enough.

The exquisite society to emerge will be governed by an elite comprised of gay poets. One of the major requirements for a position of power in the new society of homoeroticism will be indulgence in the Greek passion. Any man contaminated with heterosexual lust will be automatically barred from a position of influence. All males who insist on remaining stupidly heterosexual will be tried in homosexual courts of justice and will become invisible men.

We shall rewrite history, history filled and debased with your heterosexual lies and distortions. We shall portray the homosexuality of the great leaders and thinkers who have shaped the world. We will demonstrate that homosexuality and intelligence and imagination are inextricably linked, and that homosexuality is a requirement for true nobility, true beauty in a man.

We shall be victorious because we are fueled with the ferocious bitterness of the oppressed who have been forced to play seemingly bit parts in your dumb, heterosexual shows throughout the ages. We too are capable of firing guns and manning the barricades of the ultimate revolution.

Tremble, hetero swine, when we appear before you without our masks.

Sen. Paul Statement on National Security Agency Surveillance
Jun 6, 2013

WASHINGTON, D.C. - Sen. Rand Paul today released the following statement in response to news of the NSA extensive seizure and surveillance of Americans' Verizon phone records.

The National Security Agency's seizure and surveillance of virtually all of Verizon's phone customers is an astounding assault on the Constitution. After revelations that the Internal Revenue Service targeted political dissidents and the Department of Justice seized reporters' phone records, it would appear that this Administration has now sunk to a new low.

When Sen. Mike Lee and I offered an amendment that would attach Fourth Amendment protections to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act last year, it was defeated, and FISA was passed by an overwhelming majority of the Senate. At the time, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid remarked that FISA was "necessary to protect us from the evil in this world." 

The Bill of Rights was designed to protect us from evil, too, particularly that which always correlates with concentrated government power, and particularly Executive power. If the President and Congress would obey the Fourth Amendment we all swore to uphold, this new shocking revelation that the government is now spying on citizens' phone data en masse would never have happened.
