The same economists (the real ones, not the blatherers you hear on Fox and CNN) that called this recession months, or even years ago are saying that the trouble ain't over! Check this out:
Obamageddon 2012 by Gerald Celente
Shared via AddThis
Empire America is on the verge of collapse. Its social, economic and political systems are failed and failing.
The measures taken by successive governments to save the politically corrupt, morally bankrupt, physically decrepit giant from collapse have served to only hasten its demise. While the decline has been decades in the making, the acceleration of ruinous policies under the current Administration is leading the United States – and much of the world – to the point of no return.
The "green shoots" sighted by Field Marshall Bernanke this past spring were a mirage. The 2010 economic "recovery" predicted by the same experts, authorities and financial boy scouts and cheerleaders who didn't see the economic crisis coming is pure delusion.
By 2012, even those in denial and still clinging to hope will be forced to face the truth. It will be called "Obamageddon" in America. The rest of the world will call it "The Greatest Depression."

Reprobate Republicans
Pastor Matt Trewhella has a very excellent article titled "A Republican-Appointed Supreme Court Gave America Legalized Abortion, Sodomy, And Pornography."
Folks, this is the point I have been trying to make for several years now! When I tell my republican friends that I no longer vote for the "lesser of two evils," this is usually what they counter with: "But we have to elect the republican, because the next president will appoint a supreme court justice." My response is always, "so what!" The court has been made up of a majority of republican appointees for several generations now; I really don't know what the democrats are so worried about! Republican appointees have given us every abominable ruling that has been handed down for the last 50+ years!
Following is Pastor Matt Trewhella's article from yesterday's Covenant News.
A Republican-Appointed Supreme Court Gave America Legalized Abortion, Sodomy, And Pornography
By Pastor Matt Trewhella
The Covenant News ~ June 09, 2009
Obama has nominated a Supreme Court justice. She will in all likelihood turn out to be pro-abortion and pro-homosexual. Obama is rabidly pro-abortion and pro-homosexual, and birds of a feather flock together.
If you were one of those people who could not bring yourself to vote for the lesser-of-two-evils (have you noticed that the lesser-evil gets more evil every four years?) this past November, you are probably hearing from some of your friends right about now saying – "See, I told you to vote for McCain just so Obama couldn't appoint the next Supreme Court justice."
You may be feeling bad or even pained in your conscience about this – but don't. Historical fact reveals that you would have gotten nothing different with a Republican-appointed justice. The truth is Obama's nominee has the same values as the majority of Republican-appointed Supreme Court justices over the last 40 years.
If you doubt what I am saying, just take a few moments to look at the facts.
1.) The 1973 Roe v. Wade decision was given to us a by a majority of Republican-appointed justices. Six of the seven justices which voted in support of Roe v. Wade were appointed by Republican presidents.
2.) Roe v. Wade has been upheld and legalized abortion maintained by a majority of Republican-appointed Supreme Court justices for the last 36 years. Since the Roe. v. Wade decision, Republican-appointed justices have always been in the majority by a margin of at least 7-2. Currently, 7 of the 9 justices are Republican-appointed.
3.) The 2003 Lawrence v. Texas case which decriminalized sodomy was given to us by a majority of Republican-appointed justices. Four of the six justices which voted in support of decriminalizing sodomy were appointed by Republican presidents.
4.) Remember also, it was a Republican-appointed majority Court which banned school prayer in the 1962 Engle v. Vitale case, and which opened the floodgates of pornography in the 1973 Miller v. California case.
Every four years, Christian people in this nation are stampeded into voting for the Republican presidential candidate based on the mantra - "whoever is elected President will appoint the next Supreme Court justices!" Republicans insist that we must vote for their presidential candidate in order to insure that liberal justices are not appointed to the Supreme Court.
The historical facts however, show that their assertion is absolutely false. When you look at the facts there is not a lick of difference between Obama's nominee and what we have gotten from the Republicans for the last 40 years.
Until Christians take the Republicans to task for this, nothing will change. The Republicans find legalized abortion too politically advantageous to actually outlaw abortion. How then would they be able to keep the Christians in line?
The truth is our nation finds itself in its current state because the people have turned their backs on God and are living in rebellion to him; the pulpits are full of hirelings and whores; and American Christians have embraced a superficial, narcissistic, man-centered Christianity. No political party can remedy this situation. Only the pure preaching of God's Word calling men to repentance and faith in Christ.

There IS No Political Solution!
Click on the image to enlarge. This was drawn by Charles Ramsey in the 1940's. I found it over at www.biblebelievers.com It illustrates that the coming of Christ will right all that is wrong in the world, and nothing will right this world until then!

National Day of Prayer
This sermon was preached around the date of last year's National Day of Prayer, and dealt with the interfaith nature of this event. God is not honored when His word is disobeyed. Yes, America needs the prayers of God's people, but not this sort of ecumenical interfaith stuff! We can call on God to bless America 'till we're blue in the face, but God is not in the sin blessing business! This year's NDP event is no more biblical than last year's, although I did read that the woman preacher (1 Timothy 2:8 & 1 Timothy 2:12) who is praying the official prayer this year will actually use the name of Jesus Christ in her canned prayer (Matthew 6:7). Give it a listen.

WWJT--Who Would Jesus Torture?
I'd like to take credit for the title of this post, but I can't (although I don't remember where I first saw the phrase used).
I would like to point you to a couple of other blogs that have really nailed the illogic of Christians who have whole-heartedly supported the torture of anyone that the Bush administration deemed to be a terrorist given that it has come to light that both the Bush administration and the Obama administration consider(ed) Christians (along with veterans, constitutionalists, and anybody else who objects to heavy-handed government) to be domestic terrorists.
The point is that, when those in power assume the authority to declare people or groups "dangerous," "extreme," "subversive," or whatever label they might choose to employ, then no one is immune from their "ministrations." If you don't believe me, just do some reading on the Inquisition and the horrible things that were done to Christians in the name of controlling "religious extremism." Think that can't happen in our day? You're crazy.

Current Controversies
The sermon this week dealt with some hot-topics that have been at the forefront in the past week. Some of the topics covered were Earth Day, is Miss USA (a professing Christian) a fitting role-model or spokeswoman for Bible-believing Christians, the abuse of Pastor Stephen Anderson's 4th amendment rights and the torture policies of the U.S. government under Bush/Obama.
Give it a listen.

Happy Earth Day!
I received the latest issue of "O Timothy" magazine today, and it has an excellent article called "Carbon Trading: The Hypocrisy and the Foolishness."
Bro. David Cloud does a masterful job of exposing the complete scam that is carbon trading/carbon offsets. Here are a couple of quotes from his article:
"Carbon trading is a scam; it is hocus pocus; it is a shell game; it is a vast swindle. Even assuming that the global warming theory is based on reality, carbon trading accomplishes pretty much nothing...Much of the carbon trading money goes down the same rat hole that swallows up billions of dollars in foreign aid, lining the pockets of corrupt third world citizens...Carbon trading is the equivalent of a Roman Catholic indulgence. It allows wealthy greenies to live as they please while salving their conscience (emphasis mine)."
Romans 1:21 warns of the time when man would not glorify God as his creator, and would profess his own wisdom, when in fact he has become a fool (Romans 1:22). The same chapter warns of man turning his worship to men, birds, four-footed beasts and creeping things (Romans 1:23), and of man's worshipping of the creature more than his Creator (Romans 1:25). God warns that He will give such over to a reprobate mind (Romans 1:28).
I believe that many in our day have reached these depths of reprobation! We live in an hour in which the earth is worshipped, even by many professing Christians. God created man to have dominion over the earth (Genesis 1:28), and God gave plant life and animal life to man for food (Genesis 1:29 & Genesis 9:3).
According to greenie propaganda man is the problem...according to God's word, earth worshippers are reprobate pagans.
Happy Earth Day.
