From a fellow Blogger.

Wanted to share this from MidnightWatcher’s Blogspot I thought it was a good read.

On his homepage he has Watch: Multiple Live Streams Of Operation Swords Of Iron multiple sources for the live streams saying, “I will work to keep this posting updated with real-time live steams only.“

A couple of excerpts from the post and then a link so you can read the whole post.

The Jesus of the Qur’an, or the Jesus of the Bible — which is correct?  The Islamic Jesus (Isa) is viewed as nothing more than an “apostle of Allah”, a mere man whose virgin birth, life and death had no real significance other than to simply be a slave and messenger for the deity of Islam.  The Messianic-Christian Jesus (Yeshua), a Jew from Nazareth, is viewed as the fulfillment of ancient Jewish Messianic prophecies, as the eternal Word of God manifested in the flesh who came into the world as the Lamb of God to be the final sacrifice for sin, the only way of salvation and fulfillment of the Law.  We don’t need to perform detailed comparisons before we begin to realize that the Jesus of the Qur’an is not the same Jesus of the Bible.  Although two opposing views can both be wrong, two opposing views cannot both be right.

As a Christian, I have been forewarned by the Apostle Paul in 2 Corinthians 11:4 against accepting the teachings of those who “preach another Jesus” or “another gospel” than that which we have already been given by the Apostles of Biblical Scripture.  Whether it be the Jesus and teachings of Mormonism, or the Jesus and teachings of Jehovah’s Witnesses, or the Jesus and teachings of Islam, they all fall well short of the Jesus and teachings of the historic Christian faith that was delivered to the saints.

The teachings and commands in the Qur’an and the Hadiths are diametrically opposed to the teachings and commands of the Biblical Jesus.  In Matthew 5:44-45b Jesus commands His followers to “love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you, that you may be sons of your Father in heaven …”.  Does the Jesus of the Qur’an also teach this?  Does even Mohammed — Islam’s very own prophet and history’s most authoritative according to Muslims — teach anywhere in the Qur’an or Hadiths to love and pray for one’s enemies?  To the contrary, Mohammed’s final marching orders for all Muslims was that they must never befriend Jews and Christians and must instead wage war against all unbelievers for the cause of Allah until Islam became the only religion on earth. In fact, the Hadiths teach that Jews and Christians must all be forced to submit to Islam, or one day experience mass slaughter for the glory of Allah if they refuse.

A must watch! Christian, check it out.

This such a great discussion I had to share it in hopes of someone else might enjoy it too.

Dr. Jordan B. Peterson and Eric Metaxas discuss his most recent book, “A Letter to the American Church,” which argues a betrayal of faith by those who stay silent in the face of tyranny.

They parallel the arbiters of speech across history against those populating today, and detail the responsibility to act against falsehood that is intrinsically present in the Abrahamic tradition, yet increasingly absent in the American church today.

Spurgeon’s Morning & Evening:

From Spurgeon’s Morning & Evening:(Biblesoft, PC Study Bible)

For me the morning reading was tough! I long for the day’s when I was red hot for the Lord when I first began. Seems I’ve been in the desert for years for how many I know not.

I think it started in 08. The process of loosing every thing, my home, savings, investments, having to retire early because of health issues.

Thankfully I have a home, am able to pay my bills though that’s all I can do, after that I’m broke, my wife buys food. That’s it, that’s all there is. My body is falling apart, I’m in pain most days, all day.

Seems I’m just waiting to go home.

I pray and talk to Him daily and don’t seem to hear from Him at least the way I used too. Still I know I’m protected by Him.

I know I am protected by the Lord and His grace, still it seems I’m stuck, can’t get ahead no mater what I try.

When I realize where I am I pray for His mercy every day and ask for help.

I know not what’s wrong but I know,

Rom 8:26-36

26 In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groans that words cannot express. 27 And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints in accordance with God’s will.

28 And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. 29 For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the likeness of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers. 30 And those he predestined, he also called; those he called, he also justified; those he justified, he also glorified.

31 What, then, shall we say in response to this? If God is for us, who can be against us? 32 He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all — how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things? 33 Who will bring any charge against those whom God has chosen? It is God who justifies. 34 Who is he that condemns? Christ Jesus, who died — more than that, who was raised to life — is at the right hand of God and is also interceding for us. 35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? 36 As it is written:

“For your sake we face death all day long;
we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered.”
NIV

So, hears the readings,

Day 11

“Sin . . . exceeding sinful.”
— Rom 7:13

Beware of light thoughts of sin. At the time of conversion, the conscience is so tender, that we are afraid of the slightest sin. Young converts have a holy timidity, a godly fear lest they should offend against God. But alas! very soon the fine bloom upon these first ripe fruits is removed by the rough handling of the surrounding world: the sensitive plant of young piety turns into a willow in after life, too pliant, too easily yielding. It is sadly true, that even a Christian may grow by degrees so callous, that the sin which once startled him does not alarm him in the least. By degrees men get familiar with sin. The ear in which the cannon has been booming will not notice slight sounds. At first a little sin startles us; but soon we say, “Is it not a little one?” Then there comes another, larger, and then another, until by degrees we begin to regard sin as but a little ill; and then follows an unholy presumption: “We have not fallen into open sin. True, we tripped a little, but we stood upright in the main. We may have uttered one unholy word, but as for the most of our conversation, it has been consistent.” So we palliate sin; we throw a cloak over it; we call it by dainty names. Christian, beware how thou thinkest lightly of sin. Take heed lest thou fall by little and little. Sin, a little thing? Is it not a poison? Who knows its deadliness? Sin, a little thing? Do not the little foxes spoil the grapes? Doth not the tiny coral insect build a rock which wrecks a navy? Do not little strokes fell lofty oaks? Will not continual droppings wear away stones? Sin, a little thing? It girded the Redeemer’s head with thorns, and pierced His heart! It made Him suffer anguish, bitterness, and woe. Could you weigh the least sin in the scales of eternity, you would fly from it as from a serpent, and abhor the least appearance of evil. Look upon all sin as that which crucified the Saviour, and you will see it to be “exceeding sinful.”

Day 11

03/11/PM

“Thou shalt be called, Sought out.”
— Isa 62:12

The surpassing grace of God is seen very clearly in that we were not only sought, but sought out. Men seek for a thing which is lost upon the floor of the house, but in such a case there is only seeking, not seeking out. The loss is more perplexing and the search more persevering when a thing is sought out. We were mingled with the mire: we were as when some precious piece of gold falls into the sewer, and men gather out and carefully inspect a mass of abominable filth, and continue to stir and rake, and search among the heap until the treasure is found. Or, to use another figure, we were lost in a labyrinth; we wandered hither and thither, and when mercy came after us with the gospel, it did not find us at the first coming, it had to search for us and seek us out; for we as lost sheep were so desperately lost, and had wandered into such a strange country, that it did not seem possible that even the Good Shepherd should track our devious roamings. Glory be to unconquerable grace, we were sought out! No gloom could hide us, no filthiness could conceal us, we were found and brought home. Glory be to infinite love, God the Holy Spirit restored us!

The lives of some of God’s people, if they could be written would fill us with holy astonishment. Strange and marvellous are the ways which God used in their case to find His own. Blessed be His name, He never relinquishes the search until the chosen are sought out effectually. They are not a people sought to-day and cast away to-morrow. Almightiness and wisdom combined will make no failures, they shall be called, “Sought out!” That any should be sought out is matchless grace, but that we should be sought out is grace beyond degree! We can find no reason for it but God’s own sovereign love, and can only lift up our heart in wonder, and praise the Lord that this night we wear the name of “Sought out.”

How the Democrats went off the deep end.

I was thinking the other day, what the heck happened to the dem’s? Then I remembered how it started. It actually started long before this but that will be shared in a later post I’m working on. but for now, just a short thought.

In September we will come up on the 7 year anniversary of the 2012 Democrat Convention in Charlotte SC. Remember it? It’s where the Democrats denied God three times and tried to distance it’s self from Israel.

If it weren’t for the heads of the party and Obama himself stepping in they would have changed their party platform to remove God from it and distance itself from our Allie Israel by denying Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.

Here’s some reminders and different points of view, my two cents follows. Democrats BOO GOD At Convention

Democrats boo vote to restore ‘God’

Delegates to the Democratic National Convention in Charlotte today booed, jeered and shook their fists when the chairman, Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, declared that an amendment to the party’s platform that restored a mention of God had been adopted.

The Party That Booed God

Sometime on Wednesday morning, panic set in when the head honchos of Team Obama, who I would argue can’t stand Israel or the God-language either, but who understand sales, marketing and branding; realized what had happened and rushed to rectify the move made by delegates.
That moment of intense stomach distress might possibly have coincided with the moment when distinguished Harvard Law Professor (aka “the Democrats’ brain”) Alan Dershowitz berated the Democratic Party for becoming the first major political party in the history of the U.S. to abandon Israel.
Now panic really set in.
The media reported that Obama himself made desperate calls to change the platform.
He must have realized that without God added back to the platform, his campaign for re-election was dead-before he even stepped on the stage for his acceptance speech Thursday.

Democrats Conventioneers Deny God “Three Times”

This is shocking, but does expose the majority of Democrats and their ideology.  God isn’t that important nor relevant.

It’s more than unfortunate, more than sad, but frightening that we have a political party in this nation openly mocking God.

Dems Quickly Switch to Include “God,” “Jerusalem”

The changes came after Republicans spent the morning criticizing Democrats for removing Jerusalem and God from their platform, which was adopted during the start of the convention on Tuesday. The Republican platform mentions God 12 times.

GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney said Wednesday that taking the word “God” out of the Democratic platform proved that the party is “veering further and further away into an extreme wing that Americans don’t recognize.”

Democrats’ Efforts To Reinsert ‘God’ And ‘Jerusalem’ Into Platform Met With Loud Opposition (VIDEO)

A source informed on the deliberations told The Huffington Post that President Obama personally intervened to strengthen the language. Speaking with HuffPost, a senior Obama administration official also confirmed the president’s involvement.

But when Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, the convention chairman, came to the podium to ask for the approval of the delegates, those who shouted opposition to the language change were as loud, if not louder, than those who voiced their support.

Encase there is any doubt about their feelings on the issue on this 7th anniversary , yesterday “Democratic Party embraces nonreligious voters, criticizes ‘religious liberty’ in new resolution.”

Democratic Party embraces nonreligious voters, criticizes ‘religious liberty’ in new resolution

The Democratic National Committee (DNC) passed a resolution Saturday praising the values of “religiously unaffiliated” Americans as the “largest religious group within the Democratic Party.”
The resolution, which was unanimously passed at the DNC’s summer meeting on Aug. 24 in San Francisco, Calif., was championed by the Secular Coalition of America, an organization that lobbies on behalf of atheists, agnostics, and humanists on public policy.
The group celebrated the DNC’s move as the first time a major party “embraced American nonbelievers.”
“Religiously unaffiliated Americans overwhelmingly share the Democratic Party’s values,” said the resolution, which adds they should advocate for “rational public policy based on sound science and universal humanistic values.”

What comes to my mind is, Galatians 6:7 Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows. What comes to my mind is, Galatians 6:7 Romans 1:24 So God abandoned them to do whatever shameful things their hearts desired. As a result, they did vile and degrading things with each other’s bodies. Romans 1:24

Think about it. Isn’t it true looking at the Democrat party now? Abortion and all the other crazy things they want for America. For those of you that are into numerology, This being the 7th anniversary, 7 being the number of completion, could this be the end of the party?

Well, that’s my two cents. God bless America and you.

I can’t sleep at night, last night was no exception. But last night in the dark, I found treasure.

Like most night’s I sleep only for a couple hours at a time. Most day’s I’m in constant pain and last night it kept me from getting comfortable enough to sleep. Bla, bla, bla, everyone has problems.

Last night though, it turned out to be very prosperous. Usually when I share a article I post excerpt from it to give you a idea of what’s in it in hopes of getting you to read it.

This time though I’ll just give you the link. Be forewarned though the title is very misleading. When I first saw it I thought Oh great, another celebrity is going to share their infinite wisdom and school us./s Honestly, I didn’t know who she was. Like most conservative I don’t pay much attention to Celeb’s and only know of a few of the big name ones obviously.

Again, don’t let the title fool. Take the time and check it out. Well, maybe I’ll share a bit of the article after all.

“Chrissy Teigen struck a nerve when she tweeted on Monday that she is “not good with” the Bible.

Teigen, a supermodel, is married to singer John Legend, who will portray Jesus Christ in NBC’s forthcoming live rendition of “Jesus Christ Superstar” that airs Sunday. Just before visiting her husband on set, she took to Twitter,” Chrissy Teigen says she’s ‘not good with the Bible’ — Neither am I

Wasn’t that good, simple and just on time? Admittedly I have never come across the author before so I followed the him on twitter and checked out his website and added it to my favorites. While there I came across this gem.

Excerpts from the article, “The prophets are illuminating, yes. But immediately applicable? Not always . . . unless we broaden our view of application and consider the story behind the symbols.

Pressing On in the Dark

In that simple picture of a shoot coming out of a stump, I find hope to press on through dark times. It’s not applicational in that it gives me a task I need to do this week. But it applies to me because it reorients my thinking so that I see myself as part of a bigger story that God is writing, a story of his glory and my good.

Perhaps as you read this, you’re at such a low point that my words carry no hope at all. There’s no return, you say. Maybe you’re in the depths, or facing the end of your life, and you think: This is it. There’s just a stump. No shoot.” Deep Darkness Before Dawn
