Scary End Times?

Duck Dynasty Prediction

Denny BurkBy Denny Burk DennyBurk.com

TwitterFacebookRSSContactAmazon
I predicted privately some months ago that it would only be a matter of time before the media sniffed out the views of the Duck Dynasty guys about sexuality. I also predicted that when they did, their reception in the popular culture would turn on a dime. Well, here we are. In a wide-ranging interview with GQ, the "Duck Commander" Phil Robertson spoke candidly about his views. In particular, he identified homosexual behavior as sinful. In response, the A&E network has suspended Robertson from the television series indefinitely with this explanation:
We are extremely disappointed to have read Phil Robertson's comments in GQ, which are based on his own personal beliefs and are not reflected in the series Duck Dynasty. His personal views in no way reflect those of A&E Networks, who have always been strong supporters and champions of the LGBT community. The network has placed Phil under hiatus from filming indefinitely.
Yes, you read that right. Some "personal beliefs" are allowed at A&E, and some are not. If you happen to express a view on homosexuality in keeping with the entire 2,000-year consensus of the Christian church, A&E says that you are not allowed on their network.
Phil Robertson

The Inevitable Endgame

So here's my second prediction. This won't end with Phil Robertson's suspension. His remarks will end Duck Dynasty. The other guys on the program will be dogged in every interview from here on out until they give their opinions as well. And as soon as they do, the entire cast will be branded heretical by the sexual revolutionaries that dominate popular culture. When that happens, that will be the end.
To be sure, Robertson's manner of expression was unhelpfully crude and explicit. But that's not why gay rights activists will be on the warpath. They will be on the warpath because—on the substance—he seems to be affirming what Christians have always believed about sexual morality—chastity outside of marriage and fidelity within marriage. The Bible teaches that any transgression of those two norms is sin. And that view is now considered heretical by the spirit of the age—tantamount to bigotry and hate speech.
What happens now? There will be a virulent outcry from the left (facilitated by the media) until Duck Dynasty disappears from television. There will be a firestorm of controversy, but the demise of the Duck Dynasty program is the inevitable endgame. I hope I'm wrong.
What does this mean? It means that A&E is yet another sector of popular culture in which Christian views about sexual norms are not allowed. The cultural space for our views is shrinking rapidly, and there are people who won't stop shrinking the space until there's no space left at all.

Ladies and Gentlemen,  Friends,
I know that this really sounds too simplistic and short,  but that's pretty much the jest of it.   God actually hides things from the super educated, too proud and arrogant people, who think that they know everything ---except the Bible.  The thing is that God sees into your heart and can tell if you have a "heart condition" that is sincere, humble and submissive, and His angels separate the sheep from the goats.  
    I was too 'full of myself' when I was young,  and the Catholic church didn't help me much...  sorry,  I am not looking to bash anyone today... just stating the pure facts.   And then the Jehovah's Witnesses certainly didn't help me at all, except to pollute my mind with all manner of lies too, for 22 years of pure waste !!  Here is just a small piece of how they operate:  The "Governing Body" in NY all of a sudden, gets a "New Understanding" of the Bible, and moves to make a new ruling [law], and if anyone crosses the line, they are DISFELLOWSHIPED [shunned] so that no one may even talk to them, lest THEY be shunned too!  And I have a few prime examples to lay on the table, if you like.   But then, a few years latter, they find out that they were 'somehow in error' -- and reverse their old ruling.  But all those who were disfellowshiped are still out in the cold, so that even their family members are not to pray with them, eat with them, nor associate with them !!!  Hello!   If you want real examples, just ask.   tschuckman@aol.com  Grounds for disfellowshiping are: fornication, adultery, doing drugs for recreation,  lying, theft, smoking, getting drunk,  celebrating Christmas, joining the Military, some choices of employment,  joining the Boy Scouts,  any kind of Patriotic stuff,  accepting a blood transfusion,  and going against anything written by the WatchTower Society,  etc. etc.,  just for a few examples.   The JW's have a super high rate of suicide, especially around Christmas time, and their shunning can cause some horrible emotional distress and separation.  The bible they use is a perversion, especially the NT [New Testament].  They think that Jesus IS the  arch angel Michael !!  

Now,  I ask you, after all this life long indoctrination of false religion, it is many times a tough sell -- to make things all so simplified, like in the article below.  Yet, the TRUTH OF THE BIBLE is simple !!   But it's a 'stumbling block' for those who are so proud and haughty-- with all their past 'higher learning'....  false learning by false religion !   And the book of Deuteronomy has harsh words for a "False Prophet" -- which is exactly what the JW leadership are.  Yes, many are sincere, clean, nice, respectful, etc.,  but they are still misled and stuck in a false cult...  just like quick sand.   I pity them and hope that they can find a way OUT !
     Perhaps God thought that He might "use" me with all my back ground, even in false religion for so long, to point the way out of such madness and falsehoods, and teachings !   Now,  everything just falls into place, is explainable, understandable, and clear as a bell.  PTL.   And, at least I was able to draw and lead my 3 kids out of that nasty cult.  I just feel sorry for the younger, blinded JW's who still don't know the truth, who are headed for the highway to hell....   but maybe, if you could send them MY way, I might be able to reason with them.   At least I can try.

"Hell and destruction are never full;  so the eyes of man are never satisfied."  ---Proverbs 27: 20.  

Warm Regards,
Tom Schuckman

Help! End Times Prophecy Scares Me


Q. I will admit I haven’t read the entire Bible and do not go to church, but I have a strong faith in the Lord and his wonderful work. I was directed to your site by a friend, and am a little worried about everything related to “the end times”. I read your book, “7 Things You Have To Know To Understand End Times Prophecy” and I am pretty terrified now. I am hoping someone can give me some peace of mind and maybe tell me I read something wrong. I am afraid of the terrible things that will happen with the weather, disease, starvation, etc. It sounds like things are going to get so incredibly terrible in this world and we may suffer great death and endure torture before the Lord will come. Is this true? Can you tell me something to educate me further? Thank you for your help!

A. No sane person, upon learning of the severity of the End Times judgments, would feel any differently than you do. Jesus said that time will be more terrifying than any thing that’s ever happened on Earth (Matt. 24:21). But in the book there’s a section entitled “The Purpose of the Rapture.” It’s #4 of the Seven Things You Have To Know and begins on page 31. If you read it again you’ll see that the Church will be hidden safely out of harm’s way during all these judgments.
Whether you go to church or not doesn’t matter, nor does how much of the Bible you’ve read. What matters is that you’ve asked for and received the pardon for your sins that the Lord purchased for you with His life. You do this by admitting that you’re a sinner, believing He died for your sins and rose again, and asking Him to be your Savior.
If you truly believe these things in your heart, then you’re already a member of His Church and will be whisked off with the rest of us to safety before the End Times judgments begin. If you haven’t done that, then find a Bible believing Church in your area and tell the Pastor you want to be saved. He’ll know what to do.

Better Late than Never-- belated Post.

Tom's Journal. http://tomschuckmanjournal.blogspot.com/

tschuckman@aol.com

Instead of wasting millions in goofy rabbit holes like Solindra and wind power, where we have nothing to show for our tax dollars,  why not tap our oil reserves under our feet in the USA ??   But knowing what a goof ball the 'occupant of the WH' is,  he would probably give the oil money to our enemies in the Middle East who are trying to kill and injure our young troopers over there.   I can only wonder if our country will still exist as a free Republic until the Election time in 2014.  

Better to concentrate on sharing the Gospel, plus begin to study and aquire healing Herbs to 'treat ourselves' in the coming months -- after Health Care in the USA is almost impossible to afford.   And friends,  let me just tell you, that AFTER we lost all our saved and invested wealth, just to have a modicum of any so-called Health Care, in the New Year,  what will our options be ???   It takes money to MAKE money and wealth.   I am not a rich man,  but I know this stuff from years of trial and error, and serious study of Finance and Investments !   In the old days, as my father said,  people just DIED!  Pure and simple.  We are on this Earth just a short time, and then we die.   But please understand that there are different 'worlds of existence' and the human brain was made to LAST FOREVER!!  We will still exist in one place or another, and our Lord Jesus spoke about HELL more often than Heaven. 

I have oft thought about the JW--organization, the WatchTower movement, church of the poisoned mind's "opinion" --- that when we all die, we just cease to exist....  hummmm.  But that is contrary to what the real KJV Bible  teaches, and Jesus Christ died on the cross for.   They forget about the Resurrection of the dead, those in Christ, those before Christ, and those who are lost, UNBELIEVERS.     I have come to the conclusion,  that it's not worth taking a chance on FALSE DOCTRINE, and burning in hell, FOREVER !!   'If the goofy JW's are correct, people just die and 'cease to exist.'   But if the Bible and Christ are correct,  there is a heaven and a hell, for real !   Do ya feel like gambling ??    NOT ME !    Actually, in my personal case,  I have seen and tasted the truth and miracles of the KJV Bible, and know they are real.   In the case of money, for instance,  if I give generously, to the Lord [to a good, Bible loving/ teaching, Christian church..... ] ---  the Lord has always taken good care of me, and who ever my spouse is.   But a true Soldier of Christ is ready to suffer pain, discomfort, even death for his Leader/ Saviour, no matter what comes his way.   We ought not be "fair-weather Soldiers."  We ought to know that life will grow much harder  before the Lord comes to Rapture us --- and hide us from the powerful Storm destined to come our way, soon.  
    So, when push comes to shove,  "We must obey God as ruler, rather than man."   Period.


This has been checked out and is true!!! Read every word and pass OIL - You better be sitting down when you read this.Description:                                                           A6B3C050905841E2845C2937096359C9@FredPC

As you may know, Cruz Construction started a division in North Dakota just 6 months ago. They send every Kenworth (9 trucks) we had here in Alaska to North Dakota and several drivers. They just bought two new Kenworth's to add to that fleet; one being a Tri Drive tractor and a new 65 ton lowboy to go with it. They also bought two new cranes (one crawler & one rubber tired) for that division.

Dave Cruz said they have moved more rigs in the last 6 months in ND than Cruz Construction moved in Alaska in the last 6 years.

Williston is like a gold rush town; they moved one of our 40 man camps down there since there are no rooms available.

Unemployment in ND is the lowest in the nation at 3.4 percent last I checked.

See anything in the national news about how the oil industry is fueling North Dakota 's economy?

Here's an astonishing read. Important and verifiable information:

About 6 months ago, the writer was watching a news program on oil and one of the Forbes Bros. was the guest.

The host said to Forbes, "I am going to ask you a direct question and I would like a direct answer; how much oil does the U.S. have in the ground?" Forbes did not miss a beat, he said, "more than all the Middle East put together."

The U. S.. Geological Service issued a report in April 2008 that only scientists and oil men knew was coming, but man was it big.

It was a revised report (hadn't been updated since 1995) on how much oil was in this area of the western 2/3 of North Dakota, western South Dakota, and extreme eastern Montana.

Check THIS out:

The Bakken is the largest domestic oil discovery since Alaska 's Prudhoe Bay , and has the potential to eliminate all American dependence on foreign oil. The Energy Information Administration (EIA) estimates it at 503 billion barrels. Even if just 10% of the oil is recoverable( 5 billion barrels), at $107 a barrel, we're looking at a resource base worth more than $5.3 trillion.

"When I first briefed legislators on this, you could practically see their jaws hit the floor.

They had no idea.." says Terry Johnson, the Montana Legislature's financial analyst.

"This sizable find is now the highest-producing onshore oil field found in the past 56 years," reports The Pittsburgh Post Gazette .

It's a formation known as the Williston Basin , but is more commonly referred to as the 'Bakken.' It stretches from Northern Montana, through North Dakota and into Canada .

For years, U. S. oil exploration has been considered a dead end. Even the 'Big Oil' companies gave up searching for major oil wells decades ago.

However, a recent technological breakthrough has opened up the Bakken's massive reserves, and we now have access of up to 500 billion barrels. And because this is light, sweet oil, those billions of barrels will cost Americans just $16 PER BARREL !!!!!!

That's enough crude to fully fuel the American economy for 2041 years straight.

And if THAT didn't throw you on the floor, then this next one should - because it's from 2006 !!!!!!

U.. S. Oil Discovery - Largest Reserve in the World

Stansberry Report Online - 4/20/2006

Hidden 1,000 feet beneath the surface of the Rocky Mountains lies the largest untapped oil reserve in the world.

It is more than 2 TRILLION barrels. On August 8, 2005 President Bush mandated its extraction.

In three and a half years of high oil prices none has been extracted.

With this motherload of oil why are we still fighting over off-shore drilling?

They reported this stunning news: We have more oil inside our borders, than all the other proven reserves on earth.

Here are the official estimates:

8 times as much oil as Saudi Arabia

18 times as much oil as Iraq

21 times as much oil as Kuwait

22 times as much oil as Iran

500 times as much oil as Yemen

and it's all right here in the Western United States !!!!!!

HOW can this BE? HOW can we NOT BE extracting this? Because the environmentalists and others have blocked all efforts to help America become independent of foreign oil! Again, we are letting a small group of people dictate our lives and our economy. WHY?

James Bartis, lead researcher with the study says we've got more oil in this very compact area than the entire Middle East , more than 2 TRILLION barrels untapped. That's more than all the proven oil reserves of crude oil in the world today, reports The Denver Post .

Don't think 'OPEC' will drop its price even with this find? Think again! It's all about the competitive marketplace, it has to.

Think OPEC just might be funding the environmentalists and Democrats?

Got your attention yet? Now, while you're thinking about it, do this:

Pass this along. If you don't take a little time to do this, then you should stifle yourself the next time

you complain about gas prices, by doing NOTHING, you forfeit your right to complain.

Now I just wonder what would happen in this country if every one of you sent this to every one in your address book.

By the way, this can be verified. Check it out at the link below !!!!!!

Sorry,  Folks,   I just couldn't stop myself from posting another dish of goodies from Mr. Bill Wilson well worded articles today....    Perhaps I have developed a persecution complex and a bit defensive,  but I am drawn to other Christians who agree with my own mindset and Bible knowledge.   Too,  if it appears that I am "obama-bashing" -- that man has really dug a deep hole in the ground and attacked so many GOOD THINGS, held sacred in America, and hurt so many good people--and supported ABORTION,  and homosexuality,  big time ! ! !   Just like in time of war,  when the enemy is so ferocious,  you just have to be plumb mean enough to beat him --- because the enemy wants to enslave the entire world !!  
    In my own time, one of our nation's enemies perpetrated some heinous, unholy crimes against members of my own Company of Soldiers in Vietnam, hanging them from trees and skinning them alive !!  They even put a bounty out for members of the 240th AHC Greyhounds/ Mad Dogs, in Vietnam, because we harassed and 'did a number on' their people.   I didn't know about this until about a year ago.....   And we all knew about what the Nazi's did in WW-2 to many people, trying to exterminate the Jewish population in Europe, while many countries knew about this horrible deed, yet said nothing, because they hated the Jews too.   Same old story still goes on today, with the USA winking at the 'bad guys' and even supplying them with arms and help !! 

I am sure that God is 'allowing' many bad things to happen right now...  just so no one can say that His New Heavens and New Earth are not warranted.   Really, friends,  left to our own methods and devises,  humankind will destroy itself !   Take Iran, for instance,  they will not hesitate to use their Nukes on Israel, even if it means that they will be nuked too -- because they THINK that Allah wants this to happen, and that they will be in their Paradise with 70 virgins.   I could never figure out what kind of Paradise the virgins would get, if only to pleasure the men up in their heaven, or what ever..... duh.   It doesn't seem fair and balanced to me.   Where as our Christian KJV Bible says that women Believers will be CO-heirs in heaven with men !!   And on Earth,  Believing women are to be loved and respected, with a special place of honor in the Christian community and marriage, etc.  I was raised to respect all women and protect those pregnant ladies, as the gift of LIFE was / is something very precious.  

Well,  I asked my beautiful wife,  Terri, to get some money from the bank, mail important bills/ letters, and buy some Forever Postage stamps, before picking up a few things at the grocery store an hour ago.   And then I figured that I had  enough time to post this article.   The "Daily Jot" means a lot to me, and I have come to love it.   You too can get it free in your email box, if you like.
     The weather is only about 10 degrees above today with a high of 16.   My power scooter in the back of my hooded pick up truck is useless right now, because the power switch that moves it in and out, up and down, is BROKEN, again, for the 5th time,  because the local VA loves to pick and choose the cheapest vendors in the world for it's disabled Veterans.....  sorry.   The super thin, cheap wires in the control box get cold, and snap, and there I am stranded, because I cannot get the power scooter back into my Dodge Ram, pick up truck...  the last time, right outside the VA Medical Hosp., where we live !!!   And so, if it comes from the West [Left] Coast, right now during the holidays -- we can bet it will take at least 10 days or more.... "Murphy's Law."   So,  I have to rely upon my wonderful wife, to get some things done...  but she loves to get out and SHOP, SHOP, SHOP!   And what kind of woman would she be without that inclination ??   Ha! -- Just Joking, friends !!  But Terri loves to shop even without any money, I guess.  Not to worry,  I have many weird quirks too.    I study healing herbs to help myself and others stay healthy and feel well.  And I carve Scriptures into wood with a router, and other power tools, and actually give most of them away as presents.   I know for a fact that God loves me very much, and ALL OTHER BELIEVERS !   I have taught many other folks to use the knife, gun and tomahawk....   but also purchase many KJV DEFINED Bibles  [biblefortoday.org] and GIVE them away to interested people, and spend my time with them to show them Salvation thru Grace, by the sacred blood of Christ, and the Gospel.   I LOVE TO TEACH and share !  And I believe that my "weird" habits MIGHT someday cost me my head, as the American Gov't grows worse down the road, and hates Believers of the Bible and Christ.   So shoot me...  LOL !

I am also on FaceBook, where I have hundreds of friends....  but I have got to be careful on that Big Brother web site, with the Gov't looking at us all.

Big Hugs,
Tom Schuckman

When hope and change dies in sorrow
In an interview with fellow leftist Barbara Walters on CNN, Piers Morgan commiserated that the occupant of the Oval Office has not fulfilled the "great flame of ambition and excitement that he was elected on originally in 2009." First, Morgan shows his continued ignorance because the election was 2008, not 2009. Notwithstanding, Walters' response was indicative of the ill-informed voter and how even some Christians denied their Christianity. Walters said, "He made so many promises. We thought that he was going to be - I shouldn't say this at Christmastime, but - the next messiah...and people feel very disappointed because they expected more."
Numerous stories depicted the candidate as messiah. School children sang songs. Radical leaders referred to him as the messiah. Religious leaders heaped praise upon him. Herein, a man was judged by the color of his skin rather than the content of his character--and it was those who sang the praises of Martin Luther King, Jr.--the author of the quote--who projected their true feelings upon American society. That it was about race, not about character. It was also about religion. As it turns out, it was about attempting to destroy religious freedom, vilify Christians, elevate Islam, and establish socialism in the name of a new messiah. Americans should have known better.
Jesus said in John 14:6, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me." The president is not Messiah. In fact, his way is lawlessness as he does not abide in God's laws, nor does he enforce the laws of the land--he picks and chooses what laws he obeys and enforces. His truth is not absolute. It is relative. Even the blindly supportive Washington Post said the president had three of the top ten lies of the year. The Messiah is truth, the president is not Messiah. And what of life? This president represents a death culture in his radical support of abortion; his support of Islam; and his statist economic policies that have lowered the standard of living in this nation.
The tenets of statism abolish all religion and rest hope and salvation in government. They are based on the absolute sins of covetousness and theft. Those who put their hope in men will have nothing left but sorrow in the end. We cannot long continue to be a generation that seeks salvation in man. There is none. This nation can only change for the better if our hope is in Christ. Titus 2:11-13 says, "For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men, Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world; Looking for that blessed hope and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Savior Jesus Christ."

Have a Blessed and Powerful Day!

The Pre-Trib Rapture In Isaiah


Q. I don’t read the Bible often but I try to when I have some peace time. This verse really stood out to me: Isaiah 26: 19-20. Is this, in your opinion, the means by which the rapture will take place? Are these verses to be interpreted with literal meaning and common sense of they’re connotation, in that, the dead will raise and walk the earth?

A. In my opinion, Isaiah 26:19-20 is the passage to which Paul was referring when, speaking of the rapture, he said, “According to the Lord’s own word, we tell you that we who are still alive, who are left till the coming of the Lord,will certainly not precede those who have fallen asleep” (1 Thes. 4:15).
Hardly any of the New Testament had been written when Paul said this, so it makes sense that he was referring to the Old Testament. And sure enough, in Isaiah 26:19-20 we have a description of the rapture/ resurrection almost identical to Paul’s in 1 Thes. 4:16-17.
But your dead will live, their bodies will rise— you who dwell in the dust, wake up and shout for joy—your dew is like the dew of the morning; the earth will give birth to her dead.
Go, my people, enter your rooms and shut the doors behind you; hide yourselves for a little while until his wrath has passed by.
First the dead in Christ will rise and then the living will go to their rooms (John 14:2-3) until the Lord’s wrath has passed by.
Then in Isaiah 26:21 we’re told that the purpose of His wrath is to punish the people of the Earth for their sins.
See, the Lord is coming out of his dwelling to punish the people of the earth for their sins. The earth will disclose the blood shed on it; the earth will conceal its slain no longer.
This is an obvious reference to the end times judgments, and the preceding verses indicate that the Lord’s people will be hidden away in our rooms when the Lord comes to punish the people of earth their sins.
Note how He switches from the second person (you, your, yourselves) to the third person (their) in verse 21. His people are not the people of earth. Paul said, “Our citizenship is in heaven” (Phil. 3:20). For God did not appoint us to suffer wrath but to receive salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ (1 Thes. 5:9).
You should read your Bible more often. There’s lots of interesting stuff like this in there.

Of Treason and Prophecy.

Tom's Journal. http://tomschuckmanjournal.blogspot.com/

tschuckman@aol.com

I am thinking of one person who also committed treason and was judged harshly by ALL VIETNAM VETERANS..... Jane Fonda, who never did completely apologize for her actions in North Vietnam, when many of our brave POW's were being tortured!   When we ask the Lord to forgive us of our sins and transgressions, true contrition and sorrow/ regret must be present.   Without fail,  I know that God hears my prayers and petitions!  Too many small miracles have taken place in MY life to be otherwise...Praise the Lord!   But I never want this to be taken for granted nor be irreverent toward my Lord and Master--  because I know 'who butters my toast every day.'  

I have let it be known to my friends that I have several hobbies, including a modest knife collection --as utilitarian tools that can and will save someones life, and I like "Gadgets" that save time, effort, torn skin and blood, like my carpentry power tools, that I brought into my marriage with Terri [who is ten times the Carpenter that I am!].   She loves all my tools, and uses them all the time!  And frankly,  I would NEVER want to be Noah, building the Ark WITHOUT the best power tools and a generator!!!   Ha!   And this is where young, skilled, muscular men really shine, who know how to take orders and make few mistakes!   And that is why I love and admire the discipline of the Old Army times.   But I digress....

My pity goes out to those Americans and Allies, who still cannot understand why nothing will get done as far as getting back that Old America we once knew, the honor, dignity and greatness that was somehow lost after the first hundred fifty years of our History.  People will grasp at straws, wish, pray, work their brains into exhaustion, but the USA IS TOAST!   People will choose any avenue or road EXCEPT the only true source of TRUTH -- the BIBLE !! !!    Bill Wilson, and the Daily Jot, do a fine job in telling the Bible Truth, all the time, and with boldness!  And he is short and sweet, with his news and encouragement.  I think I will write a nice letter of thanks to him today, to show my sincere appreciation. 
      Anyway,  I just read a piece yesterday that had several graphs and illustrations of how low real church membership and attendance is in the USA, AND IT BOILS DOWN TO ABOUT 20% OF US are really active in our Christian Faith.  Now... that is not a discouragement to me.   Because the scriptures say, "In the Last Days the love of the greater number will cool off..."   and so we'd expect things like this to get worse.   Also, Jesus said, "Cramped and narrow is the road leading to everlasting life... but broad and spacious is the road leading to destruction."  God is NOT looking for numbers, but for quality of humble Believers in His Son,  Jesus Christ!  Why do Christians have a hard time understanding this ??  There are billions of people on Earth right now -- but only MILLIONS will be Saved, and go to heaven.   Go figure,  that the people in heaven will serve as 'kings and priests' ---  but over what, or whom??   Answer:  the People on Earth!!  We will have the resurrection of the dead who died before Christ did, and those born after the war of Armageddon. who will need guidance and help.   The great, beautiful picture of the 1000 year reign of Christ in a Paradise Earth,  the NEW Earth, will become a reality ! 

So, just like the controversy of obama aiding and abetting the enemy of the USA, Al Qaeda [sp?], when that faction is still killing and maiming our sons and daughters defies logic and is totally illegal, no matter how you cut it !  But Congress is, of course, complicit, and nothing will come of it..... and the beat goes on.
   But think for moment...  if somehow obama and his ilk are 'eliminated' who or what will take his place??    Maybe a Military leadership transitioning into a more Constitution-like way of Gov't -- would be a better way.   But so many other things could happen in the mean time.   Like Israel going to war with Iran, who is months away from getting and using nukes to wipe out Israel, etc., and guess who has been cozy with Iran lately???   Far be it from me, not to quote, GENESIS 12: 3, again.... as you all should have that memorized by now.... LOL !
'Anyone harming Israel will get burned and broken.' Tell me... is America burnt and broken?  obama-care has nothing to do about health care -- but everything to do about seizing total CONTROL !!  And we 'ain't seen nothin' yet, folks!'   2014 will be a disaster, and I have a few coins to bet on it !   My personal plan is to get out of debt, as fast as I can !!  I have everything else, but I might invest in a few more DEFINED KJV Bibles to help other people find the TRUTH OF SALVATION, and the Gospel.   See:   biblefortoday.org 
    Pastor Sullivan has a head cold, so please pray for him today.  thanks.

OK, enough for today.  Have a good one.

Of treason and prophecy
The occupant of the Oval Office is about to go public with news that we knew already had been developing for months, perhaps over a year--that the US will officially dump the so-called "moderate" Free Syrian Army and throw its lot in with the confirmed terrorists--al Qaeda and others in the Syrian civil war. Reuters is reporting that the al Qaeda-backed "rebels" soon will be meeting in Turkey with US officials. The Administration is getting around the fact they are illegally meeting with terrorists by meeting with a newer group calling itself the Islamic Front, which as Reuters reports, "is not a US-designated terrorist group" but "many of its members hold intensely anti-American beliefs." So what's new?
What is new is that this president is moving from secretly funding the very terrorist entity that has been killing Americans since 2001 to funding it openly. Comprised of al Qaeda, the Islamic Front was formed November 22 under a charter that expressly rejects representative government, calls for a Sunni theocracy, Sharia Law, arguing that Allah is sovereign. This is in lock step with the Muslim Brotherhood charter to reestablish the Islamic Caliphate. The meeting in Turkey is no less surprising since Turkey was the headquarters of the previous Caliphate, the Ottoman Empire, which ruled over the Middle East and much of the rest of the world from 1299 to 1922. Many believe the anti-Christ will arise from Turkey.
Your tax dollars are/will be funding the very terrorists who kill our sons and daughters in Afghanistan and Iraq. Now both the former president and the current one have stated many times that America is not at war with Islam. With whom then is America at war? The US has been at war since 2001--12 long years--killing so-called "terrorists" of the Taliban and al Qaeda ilk. Article III, Section III of the Constitution says, "Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort. No person shall be convicted of Treason unless on the Testimony of two Witnesses to the same over Act, or on Confession in open Court."
No amount of double talk and playing semantics can hide the obvious: this president and Congress are complicit in aiding and comforting the enemy of the United States during war. That the "war" may be undeclared or nonspecific is in material to the fact that for a dozen years our children are killed and maimed by an enemy that these politicians have been and continue to aid. They not only aid but openly meet with the enemy of both America and YHVH God in the prophetic land directly North of Israel and where the anti-Christ may well arise. Through outright treason, America's leadership is determining our nation's place in prophecy. Proverbs 29:2, "...when the wicked bears rule, the people mourn."
The dealings of this president and Congress have dangerous prophetic consequences for our nation and the people in it. As in the Bible, our Constitution requires two witnesses. I AM WITNESS. Are you?
Have a Blessed and Powerful Day!

Are you trying to make sense of what socialized medicine means to you and your loved ones? Then I encourage you to check out our current radio program, "The Progressive Dream is America's Nightmare" found here or here.
You say it is not Christmas season entertainment. That's true. But be mugged by reality now or later. It will happen.
Government-run medicine is the crown jewel of Socialism. The Progressives have been trying to implement it for 100 years in America so it is not likely they will let it slip away from them, but let's not give up quite yet!
The bitter truth is that the Left does not care if it improves healthcare or not. It is not about healthcare. It is about control.
On this radio program, I talk to Twila Brase from the Citizen's Council for Health Freedom, www.cchfreedom.org. Read excellent info found there and learn more about the issues highlighted below:
1) There are three legal ways to avoid ObamaCare or the Affordable Care Act (ACA).
2) You can join a "health sharing organization" but this is not insurance. It is a method to share medical expenses. These organizations are exempt from ACA.
3) There is one way this Progressive dream could end before a conservative President might repeal it. Learn what that is.
4) Another 100 million employer-based health plans could be cancelled in 2014. Can this be stopped?
5) How and when is this leading to a single payer system which is all government run? Medicare is a single payer system so is that all bad?
6) Why is the ACA nothing but Medicaid for the middle class?
7) What is the future of Medicare? Why should seniors begin looking for doctors who have opted out of Medicare?
8) You might get acquainted with the AAPS organization: Association of American Physicians and Surgeons and their "cash for care" program. Visit www.aapsonline.org.
9) Will rationing be a reality? It already is but will get much worse in 2015 and beyond. Medicare was robbed to help pay for the ACA. What can you do?
10) We are told there is "stringent security" at healthcare.gov. Is this just another lie? Yes. Any private info you put in there can be hacked by anyone.
11) What is the Affordable Care Act "marriage penalty"? Why will it force people to divorce?
12) Will those in Congress on the Left be willing to stop this, realizing the American dream is being ruined?
13) If not, how soon might we see a single payer system?
14) For more info, get the weekly e-alerts from www.cchfreedom.org. We highly recommend this organization and their effort to save U.S. healthcare that has been the world's finest.
We regret if this is seen as offensive to many who feel they may benefit from the ACA. In time, this will be proven to be false. Please heed the warnings and join the effort to repeal this law.
A humanitarian crisis is in the making if this law is not altered or repealed. People are making payments through the exchange system that are not reaching any insurance companies. Some will assume they are covered when they are not.
Others have lost coverage and are floundering, many with serious health issues.
When something is so wrapped in deceit, fraud, and lies, nothing good can come from it! It is about Leftist politics, not healthcare.
This law affects every single American. Find the complete programming here or here. To learn of CD subscription for $15 a month, call us M - F at 763-559-4444. We must process with a credit card. You will get one radio CD a week other than holiday weekends.

Louie Gohmert gives a speech on the House floor.

I just subscribed to this Christian News Paper, that alerts us to what's happening in the real world of persecuted Christianity, even in America !! 
    Since [I figure] most of my readers are in the same mindset as me, Christian Community, hard working folks, many Patriots, Middle class, Educated, people with at least Common Sense, Military men and women, etc.,  please allow me to ask a simple question:   'Have you ever wondered WHY God chose YOU to be Saved, and be in that special "Spirit Anointed Church Class" who are destined to go to Heaven ? ? ?'    I COULD HAVE TOTALLY MISSED THE BOAT, and ended up dead,  DEAD, before I had a chance to accept the Lord, Jesus Christ, and end up in hell !  Go figure that I put myself in harm's way so many times, and most of my friends in the same predicament too...  LOL !   And don't think I know who butters my toast  --- I am so thankful and happy to have been so BLESSED by the Lord, sinner that I am, no matter how hard I try,  I surely mess up every single day that goes by.   But God knows this and has thus made a special provision with the ransom blood of Jesus that takes away all sin, past, present and future sins!    We don't PLAN to go sin tomorrow or the next day, but it happens.

SOME of my personal faults are, impatience, short temper, lack of self control, frustration in not getting the proper results when I am teaching someone,  etc.  Other men have confessed their short comings with me too, and I try to tell them that we will NEVER be perfect while on God's green Earth!   But we can all reach a certain plateau in putting up with each other, and get along, and agree with what the Good Book says, as we meet and discuss sacred things from the KJV Bible...[or what ever you use..].  at church, or even on the InterNet, that blesses us all.   All the facts of the world at our fingertips, INFO, encouragement, fellowship, kindness !   But I was a Communicator even when in high school, class of '67, reading and writing letters.   Actually, many times I feel like a king where I am right now, U.P. in the Great Northern Woods.... in the 'Frozen Tundra,' with many books and our PC.   What more does a man need, but to have the basics of food, shelter and covering, besides a handful of good, godly friends to meet with every week in a Bible loving church ??   And we have the nasty cold, chilly weather in Winter, but not the high, scary crime of the big cities plagued by punks on drugs, rape, robbery, theft, and murder, PTL ! 

However, as studied servants of the Lord,  we do know that we live in the Last Days of this old, satanic system, that MUST happen to fulfill Bible prophesy.  So why do some of us continue to perpetuate the "Old World" that is corrupt and sin laden or godless humans who have jumped ship over to the devil's side ??  "Oh, vote for this man, or that party, or that [ism] --way of life, mindset, administration, or One World Gov't !!"  
     If anything, I just want to do God's Will, and make sure that I please Him!!  So..... just what IS God's Will ... How many even know ? ?  Just take a trip to:  FIRST
  TIMOTHY, 2ND CHAPTER, VERSES 3 and 4:   "For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour;;   Who will have all men be be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth."   ---
and verse 5:  "For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus.  6. Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in de time."   And, friends, as I always say, AS SIMPLE AS THIS IS, many cannot absorb it,  because they have NOT the Holy Spirit to help them understand it.  The Holy Spirit is FREE !!!  Just ask for Him to come and help you!  If you are having trouble quiting a bad habit, like over drinking, smoking, cursing, foul  speech, or what ever, there exists a fine SYSTEM that works, with a very HIGH percentage of success, called:  REFORMERS.   Offered at many Baptist churches all over the world, and I have been there too, and benefited.   For more info, call my good pastor, Kevin Sullivan @  906-774-8239, or just look this org up on the InterNet.  If I get into trouble for taking these liberties,  just hang me.  I am here to help, if I can.   But why now start off  the New Year right  ? ?


Tell me, please leave a comment, if I have helped you at all.  Terri just got home from grocery shopping, and got me a pumpkin pie !
   Have a cold day.

Hugs and Well Wishes,
Tom Schuckman







WASHINGTON – In a recent speech on the House floor, Republican Representative Louie Gohmert of Texas explained that throughout the Bible, God protects nations that honor Him, but destroys nations that turn away from His rule.
Gohmert was speaking about the persecution of Christians around the world, including the in Middle East, and the mainstream media’s avoidance of the topic.
“Christians in the Middle East and around the world are being persecuted, imprisoned and martyred for their faith,” he said. “There is widespread systemic violence, and no one in the mainstream media and government seems to have noticed.”
“We may see the elimination and extinction of Christianity in its very birthplace, without a whimper of protest from the West,” he lamented.
He then began to speak about God’s protections on Israel in the Bible, as well removal of His hand from the nation when it stopped honoring Him.
“[N]o country has ever fallen while it was truly honoring the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob,” he said. “So, if you were completely a-religious, completely atheistic, but you wanted to have [your country] safe and protected, then it would sound like from historical purposes, that it might be a good thing to encourage those who believe in God to keep doing so.”
“Because when a nation’s leaders honor that God,” he continued, “that nation is protected. It’s only when it turns away that it falls.”
Connect with Christian News
In 1798, President John Adams made similar statements in proclaiming a national day of humiliation, prayer and fasting.
“As the safety and prosperity of nations ultimately and essentially depend on the protection and blessing of Almighty God, and the national acknowledgment of this truth is not only an indispensable duty which the people owe to Him,” he wrote, “…this duty, at all times incumbent, is so especially in seasons of difficulty and of danger, when existing or threatening calamities—the just judgments of God against prevalent iniquity—are a loud call to repentance and reformation.”
Gohmert, a Sunday School teacher at Green Acres Baptist Church in Tyler, Texas, said in his speech that America has fallen from its glory days and is turning its back on the followers of Christ.
“Now we have turned full circle, and we are starting to … reward those abroad who persecute the very churches that made America the freest country,” he stated. “We are losing our exceptionalism because we are refusing to stand up for Christians here and around the world.”
Gohmert ended his address by pleading with the Obama administration to stop supporting foreign nations that persecute those who follow the God of the Bible.
“Quit rewarding them. Quit providing them arms,” he said. “Because if we don’t, we will slip down the slide of history and into the dustbin of history, and people will only be able to look back and say, ‘What an amazing country that once was.’”
