Janis Joplin's Prayer (Materialism?)

Oh lord won’t you buy me a Mercedes Benz

My friends all drive Porsches I must make amends

Worked hard all my lifetime with no help from my friends

So oh lord won’t you buy me a Mercedes Benz

Oh lord won’t you buy me a color TV

Dialing for dollars is trying to find me

I wait for delivery each day until three

So oh lord won’t you buy me a color TV

Oh lord won’t you buy me a night on the town

I’m counting on you lord please don’t let me down

Prove that you love me and buy the next round

oh lord won’t you buy me a night on the town

Kudos to RC Sheriff Richard Roundtree

Kudos to Richmond County Sheriff Richard Roundtree for his policy of allowing RC Jail inmates to read softcover religious books. My church has managed a free correspondence prison ministry for South Carolina and Georgia and have been prohibited from sharing courses with the RCJ inmates.

I understand the reluctance since I believe “there is none righteous, no not one.” Jail is not nice place to live or to visit. I have been locked in a cell with over 70 criminals many times. My purpose was to share the gospel of Jesus Christ. It has been a long time since I have done this, but I don't miss it at all. This is not because I was scared. The inmates were very helpful and receptive. I believe that I am a teacher rather than a preacher. Taking courses into the jail and teaching was only allowed for Sydney Temples – a true man of God who taught until the year of his death in his 90s. He had retired from the Richmond County Jail but continued as a volunteer teacher of the Word for the inmates for over 40 years.

The Sheriff is responsible for everything that happens in the RCJ. The inmates are very adept at fashioning weapons from whatever is available. Even a softcover book can be torn apart and made into a weapon. The Sheriff risks the real possibility of a tragic event.

The RCJ Chaplin is Andy Scott. He has made a positive difference since he started. He is a gifted preacher of the Word. His influence can be seen in this new policy. God saving an inmate is much more effective than any rehabilitation program.

He Is Risen Indeed!

Now in those days a decree went out from Caesar Augustus to register all the empire for taxes. This was the first registration, taken when Quirinius was governor of Syria. Everyone went to his own town to be registered. So Joseph also went up from the town of Nazareth in Galilee to Judea, to the city of David called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and family line of David. He went to be registered with Mary, who was promised in marriage to him, and who was expecting a child. While they were there, the time came for her to deliver her child. And she gave birth to her firstborn son and wrapped him in strips of cloth and laid him in a manger, because there was no place for them in the inn.

Now the Word became flesh and took up residence among us. We saw his glory—the glory of the one and only, full of grace and truth, who came from the Father.

Mary stood outside the tomb weeping. As she wept, she bent down and looked into the tomb. And she saw two angels in white sitting where Jesus’ body had been lying, one at the head and one at the feet. They said to her, “Woman, why are you weeping?” Mary replied, “They have taken my Lord away, and I do not know where they have put him!” When she had said this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing there, but she did not know that it was Jesus. Jesus said to her, “Woman, why are you weeping? Who are you looking for?” Because she thought he was the gardener, she said to him, “Sir, if you have carried him away, tell me where you have put him, and I will take him.” Jesus said to her, “Mary.” She turned and said to him in Aramaic, “Rabboni”

Is There Evidence That Obama is a Christian?

A caller on Point of View said that he voted for Obama because he is a Christian and Romney is not.

Jude says: "I felt the necessity to write to you appealing that you contend earnestly for the faith which was once for all handed down to the saints. For certain persons have crept in unnoticed, those who were long beforehand marked out for this condemnation, ungodly persons who turn the grace of our God into licentiousness and deny our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ."

Obama is for the murder of the unborn at taxpayer expense. He is for same-sex marriage. He shows disdain for the Constitution and its separation of powers. He refuses to enforce Immigration laws passed by a Democrat Congress and signed by a Republican President in the 1980s and a Defense of Marriage Act passed by a Republican Congress and signed by a Democrat President in the 1990s. He ignored established bankruptcy law and placed the UAW in front of bondholders. He sued states like SC to prevent the checking of photo IDs at the polls.

Please Vote on Tuesday, 6 November!

I understand that you have a choice between Romney, a bishop in the Mormon Church, and Obama who is for taxpayer-funded abortion and for same-sex marriage in all states, has not enforced the Defense of Marriage Act and Immigration Acts, and has deceived America about foreign actions.

Obama may be a Christian. I am not convinced, but God knows his heart. He may be like “certain persons [who] have crept in unnoticed, those who were long beforehand marked out for this condemnation, ungodly persons who turn the grace of our God into licentiousness and deny our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ.”

I will vote for Romney for his business, management and leadership skills - not for his theology!

People Get Ready for the Train is Coming!

Very soon Jesus will rapture His Church to Heaven. Christians should be shouting for joy! Why aren't they? The church of Laodicea said “I am rich, and have become wealthy, and have need of nothing.” Jesus called them lukewarm, and said He would spit them out.

I had some tokens made which say “VOTE” on one side and “Jesus for King” on the other with “In God We Trust” around the curvature. These are meant to used like opportunistic tracts. When you give someone the token and they ask “How can I vote for Jesus?”, hopefully you will answer something like ”Repent of your sins, and trust in Jesus as Savior and Lord.” Then explain exactly what that means.

Christians should not look to the DNC or RNC for hope. In 1 Thes 4, Paul tells us about the rapture of the Church and says “Therefore comfort one another with these words.”

If you have read this blog, then you have read Biblical evidence of 6,000 years and a 1,000 reign of Jesus on the Earth. If you have not read the entire Bible from Genesis through Revelation, then you may not believe this. The Word is His plan for His creation. Those who say they are “christians” because it is politically correct to do so, will be spit out of Jesus' mouth.

I believe that the Antichrist and his false prophet are alive on the Earth today. I do not know the day or hour of Jesus' coming, but I do believe that it is imminent!

People get ready for the train is coming! You don't need a ticket; you just get on board!
