If you read nothing else all day, read this

Today’s post by Mike Adams over at Townhall.com

This is the kind of wisdom and logic with which our generation needs to grapple.

We are literally a generation or less away from losing what makes America great; the very pillars upon which our great country was founded.  I’m talking about personal responsibility and accountability to something greater than ourselves.

God help us. Come, Lord Jesus.





I’d settle for one….just one

29 10 2009

I’d like a supporter of Obama-care to give me ONE example of something over which the government has had control and it was deemed successful…..or it broke even.

I’m telling you, this is a going to be a disaster.

And don’t come back with, “Well, what idea did the Republicans have?” or “We had to do something”.

Another entry from “The Big Book of ‘Duh’”.

Anyone with half a brain could see what Obama and the left were doing during the campaign.

This isn’t news. It’s history. Story here.





Obama wins Nobel prize

13 10 2009

I’m not sure why, but The Obama won the Nobel prize for peace. I thought you had to actually do something to earn one of these. I guess not. Maybe talk isn’t as cheap as we thought.

Pardon me….this just in……

President Obama spent the better part of last Saturday watching college football and old movies. Sources close to the White House have confirmed that the president will now be awarded the 2010 Heisman Trophy and an Academy Award.





What a difference a couple of weeks makes

12 10 2009

If you don’t necessarily care to read all the way to the end of this post, here’s the skinny.

Both of our church ladies are recovering magnificently and the bad guys are in jail.

It’s hard to comprehend all of the fallout of the events of 9.28.09. But other than the attacks on our two church ladies never happening at all, the news today is absolutely as good as it could possibly be.

Many have asked, “What can I do to help?” There are a couple of things.

Both Mary and Leona have family members living away from where the ladies are being cared for. They have some expenses related to travel (gasoline, hotel / motel, food). We are collecting gas station gift cards, restaurant gift cards, and cash for these needs. If you’d like to make a contribution to this cause, please mail to…

Update on events at Anna First Baptist

29 09 2009

On Monday afternoon, September 28th, two of our church employees were brutally attacked and beaten. Both ladies were taken immediately to a local hospital then subsequently air-lifted to the trauma center at St. Francis Hospital in Cape Girardeau, MO. One of the ladies is still at St. Francis under observation in the ICU. The other lady was air-lifted to St. Louis University Hospital and is awaiting surgery. Both are now stable and doing as well as can be expected. Please check back for updates throughout the day as they become available. Your prayers are appreciated.

We will be having a prayer meeting at the church at noon on Tuesday. The community is invited to attend.





Paul Washer explains the doctrine of election

Talk amongst yourselves….I’ll give you a topic — worship attire

13 09 2009

I just completed a mini-sermon series on hypocrisy in religious practices from Matthew 6.

What do you wear to church events (Sunday morning, Sunday night, Wednesday night, off-site activities) and why do you wear it?

Does it matter more what we wear or that we are modest in keeping ourselves covered?

What does the “outward” practice of our faith say about the “inward” genuineness of that same faith?

Go!





Rick Warren on church music

4 09 2009

Quote from RickWarren… “No music is ’sacred’, just the lyrics.  Music preference shows your background, not your theology. The fact is God likes some music that you don’t like”.

Word.





Cowboys should sign Burress now

26 08 2009

IF Plaxico Burress wants to play in the NFL again (he has indicated such), and

IF the Dallas Cowboys usually sign spoiled players who can’t seem to play well with others off the field (Burress certainly qualifies),

THEN shouldn’t Jerry Jones go ahead and sign Plaxico right away for the 2011-12 season?  It might take Jones’ mind off his “my-TV-is-too-big-for-the-space-I’ve-created-for-it” saga.

Sounds like perfect logic to me.
