Deuteronomy 6:4-9

Dec. 29, 2007 - Don't fall for Ron Paul!

Posted in Do RIGHT and Risk the Consequences

Interested Paul supporters can read this analysis of the pro-choice nature of Paul's Sanctity of Life and We the People acts, and listen to Bob Enyart debate Ron Paul supporters on the air. Ron Paul is a true Libertarian, and his America could be crawling with sodomite child-killers, and he would say that the federal courts should simply look the other way. That is not principled leadership, but immorality based upon the confused notion that authority flows uphill, and also upon the secular humanist value of tolerance, which is actually, apathy. Ron Paul has long worked with the Libertarian Party, and spoke at it's 2004 national convention, and he has never repudiated that party, even though the Libertarian Party is:
Pro-legalized abortion
Pro-legalized euthanasia (killing of handicapped and sick people, etc.)
Pro-legalized homosexuality
Pro-legalized pornography
Pro-legalizing drugs
Pro-legalizing suicide
Pro-legalizing prostitution
Etc.

Libertarians are immoral, godless quasi-conservatives who therefore have no compass for righteousness in law. The above list is far more of a threat to America than is Al Qaeda, for this platform is a prescription for how to destroy us from within. Yet Ron Paul does not understand these simple matters of right and wrong and governance.

Who should you vote for? Alan Keyes!! Don't let 'Beat Hillary' be your god. We are not expected to predict the future, but we are expected to DO RIGHT, no matter what. Voting for Ron Paul simply is not RIGHT.

Jul. 29, 2007 - No, we're not superstitious Christians.

Posted in Do RIGHT and Risk the Consequences

I am venting a bit here, so I will try to be as light-hearted about this as possible. I know I'm in a community (meaning HSB) that is overwhelmed with full-quiver-theology-believing-Christians. And I love you all dearly. I have some very good friends IRL that believe this way as well, but I have to put it out there that I do not agree.

We do believe in having lots of kids, IF YOU WANT LOTS OF KIDS. But we're not control freaks. We are in favor of increasing the number of Christians in the Body of Christ--whether they be Mexican, Arab, Jewish, or Eskimo. For Jesus said that "those who do the will of my Father are my brothers, sisters...." Whether this increase in the Body of Christ happens because of conversion or Christians having kids matters not. And may I point out that we do not know if our children will become Christians. Many children raised in Christian homes are not Christian. I have witnessed this with friends and family. And may I point out that the Apostle Paul, who turned the Roman Empire on its head, was childless (as far as we can ascertain from Scripture).

We know that life is sacred and that we should not violate God's enduring command to "not murder the innocent." One nano-second after conception, there is life--life from God. It is also innocent life that should not be murdered. We do not have the authority to override God's command on this. This includes the morning after pill which, as I understand it, can prevent the implantation of a fertilized egg in the womb. We are 100 percent against abortion. The ambiguous research on birth control pills leads us to believe it is wiser to not use them while both parents are fertile.

Some of this teaching that we are sinning if we don't have a quiver full of kids comes from Catholic teaching. I have heard Catholic priests, when I was young, preach that sex between man and wife is solely to have children and then they would quote Genesis 38:9-10 where God killed Onan for spilling his seed on the ground to keep his dead brother from having an heir. They use this to argue that sex is to procreate and not for any other reason. But they err, not knowing Scripture. For God was angry at Onan for disobeying His command to give his dead brother an heir (Deut. 25:5-6) and not the spilling of his seed on the ground.

Does God micro-manage pregnancies in the womb? No. When reading the Old Testament, we must remember that God had a special relationship with Israel that He does not have with us, today, in the Body of Christ. And God did micro-manage, at times, pregnancies. Abraham having Isaac at age 100 was one such example. He helped Hannah get pregnant with Samuel. He may have done some DNA engineering to get a strong John the Baptist. God can do that. He has the authority to enter His creation and also the authority to take people out of His creation (Enoch and Elijah). He has the authority to kill the wicked--which he did at times with Israel. But He is not doing that today. God does not have to micro-manage every sperm that fertilizes every egg. God created in six days and on the seventh, He rested. His creation runs quite well on its own. I, on the other hand, can't keep the house clean without regular attention.

But back to point, in this area, people think God is punishing some with barrenness or birth defects and blessing others with good looking healthy kids. Not so, and this teaching/belief system adds to much heartache and bitterness within the body of Christ. Because the womb is not seen by the naked eye, it is easy to be superstitious about it, believing something magical/mystical/spiritual is taking place. It's like the engine of a car (bear with me). I have heard Christians say (even said it myself, in the past, before I realized how superstitious it was), "It's a miracle! This morning, my car wouldn't start, and I prayed asking God to start it, and then it started!!" Is that really a miracle? Is it even God? if your tire was flat, would you ask God to re-inflate it for you?? No. Because you can see your tire is flat, and so you will pray asking for God's strength for you to work quickly and efficiently to put on your spare tire. But because we can't see the engine of our car, we will superstitiously pray asking for God to miraculously 'fix' it and then give Him credit for being a good jack-in-the-box, when really the engine just needed to rest for a minute before you tried to start it again.

We ought not be superstitious in our beliefs about God. It's one of the things God mocks in the Bible about pagans, and it makes un-believers even more turned off to Christianity. God wants us to have faith, not supersition. So if you want a full-quiver, by all means, fill it. But let this be your reason - "we love children and want to have lots of them"! Don't try to over-spiritualize it.

Stepping down from my soap-box,

~Lindsay

Jul. 14, 2007 - Taking a Stand

Posted in Do RIGHT and Risk the Consequences

Operation Save America protesters were arrested and charged with 'unlawful disruption of US Congress' Thursday. What were they protesting? A Hindu prayer being offered on the floor! Good for them!!

You can read a brief article here, and view a brief video here. I love that Ante Pavkovic (the man heard in the protest) cries out, "Lord Jesus, father please forgive us for allowing this prayer that is an abomination in your sight...you are the One True Living God!"

AMEN!!
