Peace is possible in this fallen world? Really?

"Will you take one of these parcels and pray that you will be guided to give the clothes to those most in need?"

So, with one of the unopened bundles sent from Christians in England, the merchant set off for Macao, China. Immediately upon arriving there, he went out to buy some food. Coming down the street he met a man who looked ill and starved, yet carried himself proudly in spite of the fact that all he wore on his emaciated body were a sleeveless waistcoat and a pair of ladies' panties!

The merchant stared, then gasped. This man had once been one of China's most prominent men.

"Sir, would you come and eat with me?" inquired the merchant.

"Thank you, I accept," was the dignified reply.

Together they went to a small eating house and the merchant ordered a simple meal.

"I recognized you as you came down the street," the merchant remarked as the meal progressed. "Is there anything I can do to help you?"

"I believe you are a Christian. Will you pray with me?"

The merchant bowed his head, and very simply the nobleman said, "O Lord, thank You for answering the first two parts of my prayer. You have brought me to safety; You have given me something to eat. Now please answer the third part and give me something to wear so that I can get employment and so keep my self-respect."

"I believe God has answered that prayer already," the merchant said eagerly. "Come home with me now."

Together they opened the bundle which had been sent, with loving prayers, from London and there, right on top, lay something which had very seldom come into our hands - a man's complete suit! Rarely was there ever an entire matching suit!

Weeks later those who had sent the bundle of clothes from London, received a letter from Macao, China, bearing the signature of a man who had been one of China's wealthiest and most influential men before the Communists came into power and robbed him of home, money and family.

In that letter were many grateful thanks for the clothes he had received, and through which he had been able to gain employment. Now he was hoping to save a little money so he could help his wife and family to escape and join him once more.

He told how he, a prominent Buddhist, had been stripped of all he possessed, then thrown into prison. But it was there he had come to know Jesus Christ as his Saviour and Lord.

He had lost all in this world, but he had peace and joy in his heart because he was a Christian, and nothing the enemy could do would take that from him.

Just One LIFE

My daughter's video in the Every Life Matters contest, hosted by Protect Our Girls.

Intolerant, Homophobic, Fear-mongering, Free Love Hating, Christian Bigots

For as much as our nation sounds the bullying alarm, it surely makes a constant practice of tolerating it. It just depends on who you are whether or not you will be held accountable for employing the use of bullying tactics. Intellectual elite intimidate conservatives who live for Jesus into silence, for they know too well that sincere Christians shy away from anything that would make them appear hateful, intolerant or judgmental. Bullies are aggressive, arrogant and bent on achieving and maintaining their way, come hell or high water. They treat those who oppose them as if they are not even people, without consideration or compassion.

Progressive cosmopolites (odd that there's not a polite cell in their bodies) from northern metropolises move into small southern conservative towns with the intention of bullying the laid-back, gentle townsfolks into allowing said progressives to totally transform their once endearing towns, with traditional family values, into enclaves of ruination. The foundation of their unwholesome views lies in their narcissistic antiChrist stance as well as their pursuit of "free love," out of which their acceptance of homosexuality and pro-abortion opinions arise. Of course, they are on board with the billion dollar pornography industry that destroys myriad lives in its wake, unbridled consumption of alcohol that also destroys many lives in various ways, the garbage Hollywood pumps out in films and Television programming, the putrid lyrics in pop music, along with the accompanying immodest, impure dress of those singing them, violent games and subversive, antiChrist public schooling and literature. Of course, over-arching all of this is their antiChrist propaganda.

Fiery Flames of Destruction

As I've been hearing the devastating news and viewing the unfathomable photos coming out of Colorado Springs, my tears flow freely.  Deeply am I grieving, especially for those connected to Focus on the Family and Family Talk.  Dr. James Dobson/Godson has been my hero and mentor since I was a newlywed, over three decades ago.  I love and esteem him like he was my own father.  Due, in large part, to his exemplary, Christ-like influence in my life, I've developed into the person I am.  While reading this heartbreaking blog by Jim, I was struck by the thought of the eternal flames of hell that eagerly lap at those who have rejected Jesus, King of kings and Lord of lords.  As urgent as it is for the inhabitants of Colorado to flee the flames engulfing their beautiful state, it is even more urgent for the inhabitants of this corrupt world to flee the flames that will destroy their very souls!  Thousands have been separated from their homes by the raging wildfire, but many will return to homes unscathed.  Those whose homes are destroyed, will rebuild.  Imagine being separated from Jesus for all eternity due to the fiery flames of hell!  I pray peace, comfort and safety for my Colorado brothers and sisters in the Lord, particularly for those aforementioned, as well as for those at Ellerslie, in Windsor.  What Dr. Dobson has meant in my life, Eric Ludy means in the lives of my children.  In Jesus' holy, majestic and powerful Name.  Amen.

Remembering My Granddarling Lily Katherine

The Gospel, grace, faith, holiness, righteousness, purity and love

The GOSPEL has been reduced to a message merely about forgiveness while the idea of regeneration and transformation seems almost totally forgotten. GRACE has become simply a gigantic hug from God and is no longer the muscle of God brought to earth to aid the weakness of men and to give them strength. FAITH has morphed into this bizarre idea of "honest doubt" and has lost its essence of rock-solid unwavering confidence in the ability of God to perform that which He promises. HOLINESS has transformed into moralistic tyranny for the soul and something to be avoided at all costs. RIGHTEOUSNESS has been redefined to mean an unreachable standard of perfection. PURITY has become nothing more than a legalistic attempt to stay away from things and thoughts that God knows we won't be able to abstain from anyway. LOVE has become unconditional acceptance and tolerance of sin. ~Eric Ludy from the BRAVEHEARTED GOSPEL

Mr. ROBERTSON McQuilkin Teaches Mr. Pat ROBERTSON

http://www.joniandfriends.org/help-and-resources/other-resources/promise-kept-story-roberston-muriel-mcquilkin/

How interesting that exemplary Mr. McQuilkin's first name is the same as Mr. Pat's last name - ROBERTSON! This is definitely a God connection, and Mr. Pat NEEDS to view ROBERTSON's video on servanthood, genuine Christ-centered love and marital commitment!  I sent Muriel's and Robertson's love story to Pat Robertson of the famed Christian 700 Club in Virginia Beach, VA.
