Obamacare, record borrowing, record spending, and hundreds of hard-left presidential appointees and judges.
Maybe — and that's a ganormous maybe —Obamacare can be repealed. But the president and his allies have, with consent of the majority of Americans, done irreparable harm to the country, harm that cannot be undone with a wave of the hand nor with a bill in Congress. Obama has proved to be the beginning of the end. When he leaves office, he will leave in place his legacy that will pull the country to its knees.
As much as Americans dislike France, they now have more more in common with the Europeans than ever — not a positive statement, this — with etchings that have been scarred deeply into the social and economic fabric.
Some things are damaged beyond repair. It is my prophecy that the United States belongs to that category.
Our hope lies elsewhere, beyond the heavens and the earth, our faith is firm in the divine project over and through mankind, but we can think of nothing that would kindle any flicker of warmth when we consider the American future.
Electing a Republican or a conservative to the presidency in 2012 will only delay the inevitable. Pundits and lobbyists, politicians and laity, all seem to find a reason for optimism, but their zeal is suspect, for their livelihood is at stake. Together, however, they have sold their birthright for a bowl of pottage in a desire to have it now or die.
They ate it all, and the death will come soon enough.

Almost 4 months have passed since my last report and for this delay I give you my sincere apology. Since April (my last report) the weather has allowed for me to start on several of my construction jobs and it seemed every time I intended to write a report, something came up to distract me from getting it done. Nevertheless I am happy to report that much progress has been made in our translation work on the book, “The Case For Historic Christianity.”

Read the great application at the link above. When one spends one’s money to enjoy life, not much will be left over. A larger house, a newer car, a better school for the kids, trips and vacations, fine clothes. The list is endless. Where there is a consumer, there is an industry to satisfy his desires.

SÃO JOSE DOS CAMPOS, Brazil, August 15, 2011 (LifeSiteNews.com) - The city council of São José dos Campos (Saint Joseph of the Fields) in the state of São Paulo, Brazil, has passed an ordinance imposing a fine equivalent to 620 USD on anyone distributing materials designed to induce children to become homosexuals, according to Brazilian media sources. via lifesitenews.com
I missed this the other day. Saw it first in English! Our town.
Continue reading at the link above. Anyone who tries to teach another person the gospel is a successful personal evangelist. Anyone who does their best to get a fellow human being to accept God's word and obey it is a success in God's eyes. "Stephen, do you mean that even if I don't convert anyone, but if I'm out sowing the seed, then I'm successful?" That's right. We don't measure success in evangelism by the number of conversions (or at least we shouldn't). We can't make anyone respond to the plan of salvation, but we must give them the opportunity to obey it. Yes, we want them to obey since that is the desired result, but we are successful if we faithfully teach the word to others in an effort to get them to respond to it. Don't ever forget that! Stephen Bradd does a tremendous job on his website, daily audio or text for Bible study. As the British have lost their empire and, more important, lost their respect for laws and standards, Britannia has gone from ruling the waves to waiving the rules. via patriotpost.us
