Sanctuary or “Holy Place”

As I was reading in Ezekiel this morning I came to a powerful insight for us today. Ezek.11:16 talks about how God is dispersing Israel because of their sin and apostacy. But in the midst of that God tells them in v.16 that when they are driven out of Jerusalem, and scattered “He will be a little sanctuary (Holy Place) for them in the countries where they have gone”.

Powerful, even under the judgement of God, which I believe America is under at the present time, God always tempers with grace. Grace is divine favor or getting what we DON’T deserve! What a beautiful picture of the everlasting love of God.

If you are in a tough place this is not the time to give up. Reach out to the Lord, He is only a whispered prayer away. Rh

The Church, The Ekklesia, or the Remnant

For many years I suspected the use of the Greek word Ekklesia was just used to make one feel more educated. But I have come to believe that it really is an important term. Ekklesia is a Greek word that means the “called out or summoned ones.” So is the church, however in the day we live today there is an added definition that I believe is appropriate. Ekklesia was first used in Greek to denote the call of citizens in a city to gather and decide political issues. My belief is that there is a distant calling out of those to rule and reign with Christ in a spiritual context in our day. (Eph.2:6). To deal with the issues of modern immorality and speak into culture. We are in some capacity a governing body, not in anyway suggesting a theocracy, never, but having a voice in our republic. After all we were founded on Judeo/Christian values. The Church is all inclusive of those who are born again, but Ekklesia or remnant have accepted the call to transform our nation through political or governmental means. Doesn’t make us any less sold out for Jesus, quite the contrary, the most important thing is to preach Jesus, the second most important thing is to be able to do the most important thing. That my friends involves keeping and preserving our Republic. Join me as a part of the governing Ekklesia!

On a side note I have found many Patriots who understand that we in America are not in a political battle, but we are in a spiritual battle against right vs. wrong. And in some cases they are far more intuned to this battle than the Church.

Obama/Biden’s Middle East Failure

Biden and the puppeteer Obama have made either a grave error or a calculated move to lessen and ultimately destroy our relationships and influence in the Middle East. I believe they know exactly what they are doing. Neither are fans of Israel and are not only sympathizers of Islam, but maybe in one’s case a devotee to said religion.

Terror proxies in the region, such as Hamas, Hezbollah, and Palestinian Islamic Jihad “express profound satisfaction over Iran-Saudi agreement.“

American born Lebanese scholar Walid Phares said “that the Biden Administration has continued the policy of the Obama Administration by ignoring the Arab coalition and the concerns of the Arab countries about the expansionist and terrorist dangers of the radicals in the Middle East. The Arabs, he added, also saw how the Biden Administration handed over Afghanistan to the Taliban “and were shocked to see the West scrambling towards the negotiating table with the Iranians, while ignoring the Arab countries and their national interests.”

This is a direct blow to American interests in the Middle East and it’s policies and strength in the region. All in my mind calculated to weaken US interests and Israel’s influence in the region.

Unfortunately it only allows the bad actors of evil empires to gain more influence and control. Iran’s nuclear ambitions could and should have been dealt with years ago. No rouge terrorist nation should ever be allowed to have atomic capabilities. Again for those who think elections don’t have consequences, or stolen elections, think again.

We are a laughingstock on the foreign stage! Rh

Scotland’s Test: Can A Conservative Christian Still Lead A Western Country?

Can a devout, Bible-believing Christian still become the head of a major Western political party in a post-Christian world? According to Stephen McAlpine in a recent column titled “Kate Forbes Is Done (or Why an Orthodox Christian Can Never Lead a Western Political Party Again),” the answer is no. 

Forbes is running to replace Nicola Sturgeon as the head of the Scottish National Party–but unlike Sturgeon, she is not a trans activist, but a Presbyterian. She also openly shares the Free Church of Scotland’s position on issues like same-sex marriage (and indeed, it has been suggested that the SNP’s Gender Recognition Reform bill was rushed through while she was on maternity leave due to her presumed opposition to the legislation).

Throughout her career, Forbes has been open about what she believes. She has said that that how society treats the unborn is a “measure of true progress.” She has noted that having children outside of wedlock would be “wrong, according to my faith,” and has publicly backed religious freedom, including in the context of so-called “conversion therapy bans.” 

Most bluntly, Forbes has stated that a “transgender woman” is a “biological man who identifies as a woman.” All those things are true–but all are presumed, in our current political climate, to be unsayable. On BBC’s Political Thinking podcast, she explained that faith comes first: “Politics will pass. I am a person before I was a politician and that person will continue to believe that I am made in the image of God.”

Predictably, the backlash to her candidacy has been fierce. The progressive gatekeepers in the press wish to ensure that a Presbyterian gets nowhere near political power, because to permit such a person a leadership position would be to endorse genuine diversity in politics. 

As McAlpine notes, many have forthrightly stated that a woman with Forbes’ views has no place in politics. In his view, the Highlander’s chances of winning the leadership are nil: “Kate Forbes will not be First Minister of Scotland.” Indeed, McAlpine suspects that the no orthodox Christian can ever lead a major Western political party again (with the exception, presumably, of the United States–at least for the time being).

Black pastor says top priority should be ending abortion of blacks

As Live Action News has previously reported, the latest Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) national abortion statistics paint a grim portrait for the Black community. In 2020, the most recent year for which data is available, the percentage of total reported abortions in the United States accounted for by the Black community was 39.2%, up from 38.4% in 2019. Meanwhile, Black Americans make up 14.2% of the U.S. population, according to the Pew Research Center, and Black women of reproductive age (15-44) compose just 18.1% of the total Black population, or 2.57% of the total U.S. population. In other words, less than 3% of the nation’s population is responsible for nearly 40% of the nation’s abortions.

Cause and Effect: A Terrifying New World

I am a big believer in “reap what you sow”, it is a law of God if you will. Not only did we get a feckless, inept leader in Washington after the stolen election in 2020, we also got a terrifying new world order. The balance of power in the world has been thrown into chaos. It used to be America with it’s moral and intestinal fortitude was the undisputed leader of the world, free or not. However now evil nations bent on destruction and dominance have emerged.

Just this week China has upped the ante in the Middle East. China just signed a deal with Iran to invest $400 Billion in the next 25 years. China and Iraq recently signed a deal for a $5 Billion deal on development of an oil power plant. $30 Billion to Qatar for natural gas projects. China buys huge amounts of oil from Saudi Arabia. China, Russia, and Iran have just teamed up doing military exercises together. What about Israel?

If what we hear is true Iran is only days away from being nuclear. Israel has vowed not to ever let Israel get nuclear weapons. The Middle East is and always has been a powder keg ready to explode, but with China becoming much more prolific in their dealings there, it may be only a matter of time.

Where is America? We are discussing pronouns and bowing down to the gender police. Cause and effect, a stolen election and a socialist agenda will destroy America and set the world on fire. Yes we are reaping what we have sown!

Epilogue – A weak church and weak Pastors have allowed evil to run amuck and begin the weakening process of a once great nation. God have mercy upon the United States of America. When the righteous reign the people rejoice, but when evil reigns the people groan. Rh
