Well this article is Dave Daubenmire at his best. Believe me I hear similar things from the people who email me. Pastors in many churches don’t lead people to Christ anymore they just follow popular Guru’s and teach their congregations new ways to have a more sensitive and girlie Church service. Did Peter and Paul do that or did they boldly tell the world the salvation message at every opportunity even though it cost them their lives? Did Peter, Paul and John speak correction and instruction to the Church at every opportunity or did they just tap dance around the issues like many popular pastors of today?

Dave Daubenmire — Thumb Suckers

So, how is your team doing, Pastor? Are you committed to fighting for Truth or are you trying to be nicer than Jesus? At least he upset some tables…in the church I might add.

Tired of the stress? Tell the sheep to grow up. It’s Scriptural, you know? Sorry, I have no sympathy for men who want to wipe noses for a living. That’s what women are for. (Sorry, had to say it!) You won’t be nearly as stressed if you fight over Truth rather than over the color of the carpet in the sanctuary. The enemies of Christianity are training their sons to be warriors while Christians teach our sons how to get in touch with their feelings. They are learning to cut our throat as we learn to turn our cheek.

Look folks, God is a man. Sorry if this doesn’t fit your emerging theology but God is the Father, NOT our mother. He is masculine. (My dad can beat up your dad!)

Whatever happened to men in the pulpits? Where did we get this current batch of nurses? (Now, now…if the shoe fits…) “Oh, Coach, you are sooo mean.”

Here is what I don’t get. Where did it become off limits to challenge a pastor? Oh, I know the Scripture “Saying, Touch not mine anointed,” but that begs a different question. How do we know who is anointed and who is not? I promise you there are many pastors who are not anointed of God. Jesus called them hirelings, those who are just in it for the paycheck.

I think it is time we called them out. What if I told them I was anointed to rebuke them?

So, I wrote a commentary challenging the “shepherds” and you would have thought I committed blasphemy. Where do these guys get off? Darkness is swallowing up this nation and the “shepherds” get mad at me because I spoke some “harsh” words about their performance. Put your armor on, Brother, there is a war a-raging for the souls of men. You are supposed to be on the front lines. Suck it up!

Buck up, Pastor. Tighten your belt and earn your meal money. You are a servant of the Lord, a General in the Army of God, God’s ambassador here on the earth. Get your thumb out of your mouth and pick up a few stones

Doug Giles has it right. We need a Detergent Church like Spic-and-Span or Mister Clean and not the wimpy postmodern Emergent Church with their wimpy Loving Bubbles that claim to clean without any personal effort and that does not even work. The postmodern church programs have become much like a Laurence Welk rerun where everyone-is-going-to have-good-time waltzing around Christian doctrines.

AD: The Detergent Church (c) - Guest - May 27, 08

I went on to edumicate my inquirer that I prefer a Detergent Church to an emergent church. Yes sir, I think what we need is a “movement” that would purge the skid mark that sin has left on man’s soul and our society rather than a group of nerdy Christians trying to be Ryan Seacrest.

Yep, a Detergent Church is the type of church that flicks my switch. As far as I’m concerned, a “church” that does not alter culture in a weighty way isn’t worth its salt-no matter how “successful” it may be momentarily. And seeing that our culture is getting more bizarre by the flippin’ day I’d say that whatever the church is doing to be au courant just ain’t cutting it.
Here’s my laundry list (to become a book) regarding how the “called out ones” can be the holy hellfire Detergent Church they’re ’spose to be. You might want to put on a cup . . .

1. Get men who dig being rowdy back in the pulpit.
2. Could we have some sound doctrine, por favor?
3. Preach scary sermons (at least every fourth one).
4. Get rid of 99.9% of “Christian” TV and sappy Christian music.
5. Quit trying to be relevant and instead become prophetic contrarians, I’m talking contra mundus, mama!
6. Put a 10-year moratorium on “God wants you rich” sermons (yeah, that’s what we need to hear nowadays, you morons, more sermons about money, money, money!).
7. Embrace apologetics and shun shallow faith.
8. Evangelize like it’s 1999.
9. Push lazy Christians to get a life or join a Satanic Church.
10. Demand that if a Christian gets involved in the arts that their “craft” must scream excellence and not excrement.

Allow me to elaborate, my little ones . . .

This is the best written paper I have read on what is likely to happen to the U.S. economy between now and 2018.
I think what is said here is essentially correct. I do not think it will be quite as bad as the writer says or quite like Germany’s monetary collapse of the Weimar Republic only because our collapse will bring about the collapse of the economy of the whole world and the world power brokers will work overtime to come up with a solution (probably a world currency). I do see the living standards in the United States dropping to about half of what it is today in just a decade. The civil unrest this will all cause will change our nation and the world as we know it.

hadow Government Statistics » Special Issue - Hyperinflation

The U.S. economy is in an intensifying inflationary recession that eventually will evolve into a hyperinflationary great depression. Hyperinflation could be experienced as early as 2010, if not before, and likely no more than a decade down the road. The U.S. government and Federal Reserve already have committed the system to this course through the easy politics of a bottomless pocketbook, the servicing of big-moneyed special interests, and gross mismanagement.

The U.S. has no way of avoiding a financial Armageddon. Bankrupt sovereign states most commonly use the currency printing press as a solution to not having enough money to cover their obligations. The alternative would be for the U.S. to renege on its existing debt and obligations, a solution for modern sovereign states rarely seen outside of governments overthrown in revolution, and a solution with no happier ending than simply printing the needed money. With the creation of massive amounts of new fiat (not backed by gold) dollars will come the eventual complete collapse of the value of the U.S. dollar and related dollar-denominated paper assets.

What lies ahead will be extremely difficult and unhappy times for many.

This article has a nice list of 54 reasons why your children really cannot afford to go to public schools at any cost.

Joel Turtel — Parents, 54 Unique Benefits of Homeschooling

Public schools can destroy your children’s self-esteem, destroy their ability to read, strangle their love of learning, put them in physical and moral danger, and wreck their future.

In contrast, here’s 54 unique benefits homeschooling can give you and your kids, as written and explained by Laura B., a smart, wonderful wife, mother of three, homeschooler, and business owner who works from home and still focuses on her family!

Homeschooling (or low-cost internet private schools), can have the following extraordinary benefits for you and your children:

Dave Daubenmire correctly sees that all the leading candidates running for President are not Christians in any biblical sense of the word. Anyone can call themselves a Christians but when Christians start believing that known pagans are Christian, maybe they should reexamine why they believe that they themselves are Christians. If you need further enlightenment read the article.

On the other hand, what should Christians expect to come out of a satanic world system, Christians? The U.S. is not a Christian nation it never really was. There are no Christian nations on earth there are only various percentages of Christians in the nations.

Dave Daubenmire — Christian Hedonism

Obama recently called abortion a “difficult issue.” That is a nice way of saying you must ignore all of your moral instincts. Killing an unborn baby is not a “difficult issue” if your conscience still works. Everyone knows the “fetus” is a human being, unless, of course, you are looking for an excuse to do wrong. Going against your conscience is difficult business.

He called the miraculous creation of a baby “punishment.” I know you think I am making this up. Watch for yourself. And this man is being considered as president of the United States??

This is where moral relativism has brought us.

Hillary says she is a Christian. Barack’s church has received national exposure recently for raciest and unbiblical views. They both claim to follow a holy Jesus! If no one else will say it, I will. Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama are not Christians. They are pagans.

I feel it coming already….the “who are you to judge” emails….usually from other brain-washed, brain-dead Christians. Let me put it another way. Hillary’s and Barack’s lives do not bear the fruit of Christianity. Not real Christianity. They bear the fruit of paganism.

Oh, they want to protect the environment, feed the poor, and provide healthcare, which ARE Christian values. But they want government to be God. They want government to play the role of provider and protector. They want government to have some Christian characteristics. But they do not want righteous government. They want a government where the standards of right and wrong can be voted on. They are doing all they can to push God out of government so that those in power can play god.

Because of “elected officials” like them, having a baby is now considered “punishment.”

Barack is for death. Hillary is for death. They are of their father, the Devil. Read it for yourself. They worship death and everything that leads to death. They promote death, defend death, and spread death.

Secular Humanism is a religion where man is god. It is based on “reason, logic, and justice.” It is paganism and paganism is now the religion of America. Pagans are hedonistic. We have become a selfish, self-indulgent lot, we Americans. We abort babies because that innocent baby might “mess up our lives.” We are “lovers of pleasure more than lovers of God.” A baby is created in the image of God, but we love ourselves more than we love God, that’s why babies are now called “punishment.” God called them a blessing.

Our leaders call themselves Christian but they are hedonists. Hedonists believe in the glorification of nature and pleasure. Our courts are pagan, our schools are pagan, our entertainment is pagan, and our government is pagan. Our leaders spout the name of Jesus but they “have a form of godliness.” Let’s face it. We are voting for pagans, not Christians…both Donkeys and Elephants. Is John McCain a servant of Christ?

Along with the coming crash of the economy there may occur in this country a movement that few have considered. I am not saying that this latest article in my imminent danger series will happen but I think that there is about a 50/50 chance that it will. As the country goes liberal and makes amoral laws and calls biblical expression hate speech, regions of this country may decide they do not want to be part of the United States anymore.

The counter-revolution from the heartland may start as a rebirth of the anti federal Government American Patriot Movement and the Libertarians that all but died out after 9/11. The leaders of the movement will address government circumvention of U.S. constitutional rights and it will gain an increasingly large following when muzzled Christian conservatives also identify with their message and some support the movement.

The federal government will obviously oppose these constitutional militias or whatever they decide to call themselves and overreact against them with Homeland Security directed raids that will dwarf Waco. This will only help enlighten more people in the Heartland to the creeping government fascism that is taking control of government and it will spark secession movements in conservative states.

As with prior federal agendas, they will threaten to withhold federal funds and use other coercion techniques against states that will not fully comply with locally unpopular federal laws. That will only alienate state representatives and legislators who will be under much pressure by the local people and cause them to threaten to cut off sending federal taxes to Washington. At some point one northern mountain state will put secession from the union to a emergency state referendum and it will pass. They will declare themselves a free state (like Kosovo) and invite international recognition. Other northern mountain states and some mid-western farming states might soon join with them and create a new union of states.

I have not heard the clip the below statement links to since I do not have the bandwidth for videos. I have no doubt that what is said is true. Rick Warren has been consistent in not sharing the gospel to unbelievers and has indicated in many ways that he thinks God is pleased with everyone and all they need is to find their purpose.

Seems to me Rick Warren claims to have Orthodox Christian beliefs to Christians but talks a Universal social gospel to everyone else. By the way, this is not the first time that Warren has had insults for Conservative Christians.I used to think Rick Warren was just a bit dumb and over his head but now I think Rick Warren is really a master of using postmodern moral relativism to his own advantage and certainly not to the advantage of the true gospel.

I have been following what Rick Warren says in public since he wrote his “Purpose Driven Life” book and I simply cannot find anything good to report. I am not alone in my criticism, there are many others that point out his message. But I have to wonder why so many Christian leaders in America follow, promote and emulate his teachings.

clipped from www.christianworldviewnetwork.com Rick Warren Wimps Out on Sharing The Gospel on a Secular TV Program But Instead Hurls Insults At Conservative Christians And Laughs At Humor That Mocks God While Pitching His Book

Jesus did not have any delusion that the world would believe. Jesus made it clear that most in the world would not believe. The prayer was for believers not unbelievers.

Jesus prayer was fulfilled at Pentecost when all who became members of the the Body of Christ became one Body.

If anyone does not believe the only way that God provided to enter His Body there in nothing to unify on. Also, just because true believers have unity in the body of Christ in the Spirit does not mean that we will see things the same way while living in the flesh on earth.

clipped from www.catholicnewsagency.com He continued, “When at the last supper, Jesus prayed that “they all might be one”, he had in mind the precise end, “that the world believe.” The evangelical mission of the Church is thus an ecumenical walk, a journey of unity in faith, in evangelical witness and authentic fraternity.”

I can make a good case for either Moses and Enoch being one of the two witnesses but I lean toward Enoch. I think Enoch will witness to set straight the record of the earth before the flood and Elijah will testify of the times of Israel. Here are eight other good reason why Enoch will probably be one of the two witnesses. 

Eight Good Reasons Why Enoch Must Be One of the Two Witnesses!

by BOB WUNDERLICH

With this study I wish to prove why we can know with all certainty who the two witnesses are! They are Enoch & Elijah!

FOXNews.com - Small Asteroids Pose Bigger Threat Than Thought - Science News Science & Technology Technology News: “The infamous Tunguska explosion, which mysteriously leveled an area of Siberian forest nearly the size of Tokyo a century ago, might have been caused by an impacting asteroid far smaller than previously thought”

What does that revelation say about the asteroid that we know might hit us in 2036? It probably has 15 times the diameter of the one that hit Tunguska and hundreds of times more mass. Now this asteroid is starting to look more Revelational. A near miss will occur in 2029 and perhaps a hit seven years later in 2036. You can read about this asteroid on my Koenig’s Interesting News Articles Blog. Just click on the natural disasters label on the right side of the blog.

“Oprah and Friends” to teach course on New Age Christ
It is time for all of our Purpose-Driven and Emerging church pastors to address the real issue of the day. Our true Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ is being reinvented, redefined, and blasphemed right in front of our eyes and hardly anyone seems to notice or care. If we want the world to know who Jesus Christ is, we need to also warn them about who He is not. There is a false New Age “Christ” making huge inroads into the world and into the church. The Apostle Paul said that “it is a shame” we have to even talk about these things, but talk about them we must (Ephesians 5:12-16). If people want to follow Oprah Winfrey and the New Age “Christ” of A Course in Miracles they certainly have that right. But let them be warned that the New Age “Christ” they are following is not the same Jesus Christ who is so clearly and authoritatively presented in the pages of the Bible.

FOXNews.com - Boeing Testing Another Powerful Airborne Laser - Science News Science & Technology Technology News: “The Advanced Tactical Laser can produce a four-inch-diameter beam of energy that can slice through metal from a distance of 9 miles,’ states a report on GlobalSecurity.org.”

The resulting laser beam would be used by the military to damage and weaken enemy ground installations rapidly and without collateral damage.
The program is a sibling of Boeing’s Airborne Laser program, already in testing, in which a similarly high-powered laser is mounted in a vertically mounted turret on the nose of a 747. That weapon is designed to shoot down tactical ballistic missiles already in flight.

Ouch! It probably could also eventually be made more powerful or more focused and vaporise people from space platforms. Science fiction has become reality.

Re 13:13 And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,

Does the Bible Hold the Missing Key to the Current UFO Debate: “Prophecy expert Terry James believes this is no coincidence. More and more well-documented UFO sightings may be evidence that our government will soon be forced to stop dragging its feet on ‘Official Disclosure’. Powers beyond man’s control may cause the US administration and other global authorities to admit that they have been in contact with so-called extraterrestrial intelligence for some time. Or more than contact? Collusion? According to one scenario, ’something’ in government-funded underground laboratories may be amassing even now, preparing an imminent invasion or re-emergence of ancient beings on earth. In his new book, The Nephilim Imperatives: Dark Sentences (Anomalos Publishing, 2007), James explores the connection between UFOs, spiritual warfare and end-times prophecy, blowing the lid open on a frightening reality that we can only hope is fiction. ‘One of the objectives of the union of fallen angels and humans as we move toward the end-times,’ James says, ‘could be to create a non-human society on earth which would be impossible to be redeemed by Christ during the tribulation described in the book of Revelation.’”

There is some connection to UFO’s, Aliens, the demonic occult and the coming deception. How it will all fall out I don’t know but Terry James has given a shot at it in his new novel “The Nephilim Imperatives: Dark Sentences” It should be a fascinating read. By the way, I highly recommend the www.raptureready.com website.

Letter from a Worldview Weekend Speaker and Future Prisoner - CWN: “I’m writing this letter from prison, where I’ve been since the beginning of 2010. Since Hillary was elected in ‘08, Christian persecution in America has gotten even worse than we predicted.”

“We knew ‘Thought Crimes’ was in danger of becoming law back when it passed Congress in 2007, but thankfully, President Bush kept his promise to veto it. But, tragically, Hillary signed that most dangerous bill in America – ushering in the criminalization of Christianity. And now, even my book, ‘The Criminalization of Christianity,’ has been banned as ‘hate speech’ just as I predicted when I wrote it back in 2005. “

This letter may come to pass if Christians do not wake up.

World Tribune — Geologist’s prophecy: Holy Land overdue for a major earthquake: “‘So roughly, we are talking about an interval of every 400 years,’ Marcos said. ‘If we follow the patterns of nature, a major quake should be expected any time because almost a whole millennium has passed since the last strong earthquake of 1033.’ Based on history, Marcos predicts a major earthquake that would affect Israel, Jordan, Palestinian Authority and Syria”

Since it is overdue by 600 years it will be a huge event when it hits.

Blogowar in the blogosphere - - The Washington Times, America’s Newspaper: “But ‘What World War III May Look Like’ is already a cyber favorite. Picture a minor incident involving a U.S. Marine patrol operating out of the new base at Badrah on the Iranian border, posits former CIA operative Philip Giraldi.”

This is a interesting Halloween scenario for World War III starting when we bomb Iran. I guess it could happen. By the way, If we don’t take out Iran’s nuclear capability pretty much the same thing happens only Iran delivers the first nuke. Happy Halloween!

israel today > Politics > Rabbi Reveals Name of the Messiah: “A few months before he died, one of the nation’s most prominent rabbis, Yitzhak Kaduri, supposedly wrote the name of the Messiah on a small note which he requested would remain sealed until now. When the note was unsealed, it revealed what many have known for centuries: Yehoshua, or Yeshua (Jesus), is the Messiah.”

Priestly Blessing on Temple Mount - Jewish World - Israel News - Arutz Sheva: “Rabbi Chaim Richman, one of the organizers of the trip, said, ‘This was probably the first time since the destruction of the Temple [1,928 years ago] that the Priestly Blessing was delivered on our holiest site. At times like these, when there is talk of giving away our precious places, and when despair is sometimes in the air, events of this nature serve to remind us that G-d has not forgotten about us, and that He still has big plans for both us and the Holy Temple - and that the Temple will yet become the focal point of the world once again.’ “

“America’s Rabbi” Warns: “Enormous, Humanic and Historic Upheaval” Rapidly Approaching: “Rabbi Lapin sees another striking similarity between our day and the time of the Biblical flood. Noting the political situation in the United States, where the major argumentation seems focussed on abortion and same-sex ‘marriage, Rabbi Lapin observes: ‘Undoubtedly, it was very significant, that never before in a presidential election has there been this much focus on the faith and beliefs of the candidates which again brings us back to this Noah like period in which divisions between people are lining up very clearly on a spiritual level.’ While Rabbi Lapin rejects any attempt to fix a date on the coming upheaval, he does say that it is rapidly approaching. ‘What is unquestionably crystal clear is that time and history is accelerating. Things happen more quickly now than ever before so it is moving rapidly towards this event, whatever it will look like.’”

With the little light he has he can see something is coming but of course you can’t see the true picture in the dark.

Council for Secular Humanism “Such abuse begins with the involuntary involvement of children in religious practices from the time they are born. All religions, through ritual, preaching, and religious texts, seek to bring children into day-to-day religious practice. This gives holy books and scriptures, as well as those who teach them, an early grip on the developing minds of young people, leaving an indelible impression on them. In many cases, most notably in the Catholic Church, this forced and prolonged exposure of children to religious institutions has also been a key factor in the physical, mental, and sexual abuse of children by religious leaders.

This early grip is so strong that very few people, once grown, ever get an opportunity to change their minds, despite being exposed to science and rational thinking, or even other religious systems. Religious beliefs thrive by imposing themselves upon impressionable minds and gaining their blind adherence to certain dogmatic practices. In some ways, this lays the groundwork for sustained psychological abuse of young children by allowing adults the use of religion as a pretext for various other forms of abuse”

Do you want to know what Secular Humanism thinks about religion? They equate it with child abuse. The UN rights of the child, treaty signed by every nation in the world except the U.S. and Somalia are now saying similar things. This world treaty basically takes the rights of parents away from them. Is it any wonder then that the Bible says in the last days Children will be against their parents?

Ever wonder why the fifth seal of Revelation takes place with persecution of saints by a Harlot religious system riding on a Beast? Go down this road a couple of decades and it becomes rather obvious.

It’s All About Money - HUMAN EVENTS: “The reason? There’s great gobs of money to be made from the sale of the climate change snake-oil remedies. Al Gore, for example, has become a multi-millionaire selling his brand of snake oil. Big business is lining up the get its share of your tax money extorted from you to pay to fight a non-existent threat, members of Congress are getting ready to legislate anti-climate-change programs to fund projects in their districts, and scientists are living off huge grants to study global warming. According to Williams, buying into the global warming hysteria allows politicians to do just about anything, upon which they can muster a majority vote, in the name of fighting climate change as a means to raise taxes.”

: “In PREPARATION, October 1993(Rebecca, Box 545, Latham, NY 12110. ‘There has come to hand a prophetic word through David Wilkerson transcribed during a sermon. Most of know of his ministry and of his prophecies that have proven to be true, so we offer this to you, exactly as i came to us, that you may prayerfully consider it. As it says is I Thessalonians 5:19-21 (NAS) ‘Do not quench the Spirit. Do not despise prophetic utterance. But examine everything carefully; hold fast to that which is good.’”

I don’t doubt there will be an economic panic someday soon but I am not going to put too much stock in a prophecy make 25 years ago by David Wilkerson who made other prophecies that did not come to pass. I have his book here called, “Racing Towards Judgment” that book makes the point I made clear enough.

Report: Israel spots nuclear installations in Syria - Israel News, Ynetnews: “Washington official says Israeli surveillance shows possible Syrian nuclear installation stocked by North Korea, Israeli Arab newspaper claims target of alleged raid last week was Syrian missile base financed by Iran”

“Meanwhile on Wednesday the Nazareth-based Israeli Arab newspaper The Assennara cited anonymous Israeli sources as saying that Israeli jets “bombed a Syrian-Iranian missile base in northern Syria that was financed by Iran… It appears that the base was completely destroyed.”

Nuclear material in Syria might give us a clue why Bible prophecy says Damascus will be destroyed.

The new deals are less ideologically and more economically driven and indicate that Russia is now bidding to expand the big-power competition between China and the US for regional influence into a three-way contest. “
