Tommy Thompson Going to Retire Feingold!!!!

2010-03-08T11:09:00.000-06:00

Republican “Uber-Lobbyist” Bill McCoshen went on Mike Gousha’s “UpFront” TV program this weekend and said Tommy Thompson has “the right people in the room,” and that “he's the only one that frankly could win on the Republican side.” This comes after reports this week that one of Thompson’s colleagues at the D.C. lobbying shop he works for said, “lots of people in Washington” want him to be

Toyota-Mistake Or Cover Up

2010-02-24T18:53:00.000-06:00

Toyota has been one of the world's great automakers. Do you think that they did not know about the defects such as acceleration issues and brake issues across the vast majority of their line? When the story first broke, it seemed like a simple issue; not any longer. A corporation is nothing more than a group of people working to achieve the same philosophy; they should be considered as any

Our Ways Are Going Down The Wrong Road

2010-02-15T12:29:00.000-06:00

It is utterly absurd to assume or suppose that a person who is determined to do his own will can ever please God. Only as our wills are brought into harmony and submission to His will do we discover the secret of divine power and productivity.

Office Love

2010-02-11T15:27:00.002-06:00

67% of employees say they see no need to hide their office relationships, up from 54% in 2005. In the past, baby boomers, The office romance a secret for fear of career damage or reprisal. However, affairs when one or both partners are married are still taboo. Nor is it okay to conduct promiscuous activity while at the office. Finding a significant other at the office makes good sense. We

Lies of the Deciever

2010-02-10T18:12:00.000-06:00

Abortion is one of those subjects that really touch people deeply. I can see where as people who support life feel so passionately. I have trouble with this who support abortion, the right to kill babies; how come they can be so passionate about killing a baby. That one gets me. And knowing that it goes against one of the ten commandments and must stand the judgement of God. Whew, I don't get it.

Murder---Is It On Your Hands??

2010-02-10T18:01:00.001-06:00

The question here is when does a fetus become a life? Jeremiah 1:5 states "Before I formed you in the womb I knew you; before you were born I sanctified you."Early Christian writers condemned abortion explicitly. There is no known early Christian text that contains any exceptions under which abortion would be morally permissible. The Didache, which most scholars consider to be written in the

Haitian Earthquakes and Other Disasters---Why???

2010-02-05T14:35:00.000-06:00

I wish you that I had written this but I didn't, it is from a very knowledgeable Bible scholar named Andrew Womack. I suggest you google him for more information. A number of people have asked me to comment on the Haitian earthquakes. Our local Sunday paper even had a collection of comments from local pastors about why all of this happened. Their responses ranged from "God did it" to "Satan

Anxiety Never Solved Anything!

2010-02-05T14:19:00.000-06:00

Anxiety is an expensive habit. Of course, it might be worth the cost if it worked. But it doesn't. Worry he has never brightened the day, solved the problem, or cured a disease. God leads us. God will do the right thing at the right time. Turn your anxieties over to Him and your load will not seem so heavy. In fact, constant worry and anxiety cause sickness. A case study by a well known medical

Taiwan Irritates China

2010-02-05T11:25:00.000-06:00

Taiwan said today it would buy up to 20 military helicopters from a European manufacturer in a move likely to irritate China less than a week after Washington proposed a US$6.4 billion (HK$49.92 billion) arms deal with the island.The Taiwan deal with Eurocopter, a subsidiary of German-based EADS, could strain China-European relations which, like Sino-US ties, have been hurt by trade disputes and

Toyota Slow To Face Problem According To Dealer

2010-02-01T10:07:00.000-06:00

Toyota launching huge PR campaign today. Parts being shipped today, some arrive tomorrow. Small piece to be put into accelerator assembly to reduce friction and eliminate sticking. Dealer in Florida says has not received instructions for fix nor are his employees trained to do repair. He says he will go pick up people's cars who are afraid to drive them. Dealer says Toyota response time was

We Must Keep Moving Forward In Our Faith

2010-01-27T10:25:00.000-06:00

Don't forget that every day must be a day of advancement in your spiritual maturity. If you have not made any advancement since yesterday; you are a backslider. There is only one way for you, and it is forward in your advancement towards the Lord. There are no days backward; it is advancement with God. It is cooperation with Him in the Spirit. We must recognize these things, if we live on the

Life---Does It Begin At 40???

2010-01-27T08:33:00.000-06:00

Ok, folks, let's get to the heart of matter. Does a pregnant woman have a life in her at the exact time that she becomes pregnant? Does it happen later on like in a month or six months? Or is it a life when it comes out of the womb? When does it become a life? And how do you know, is it relative to your moral code that gives you the answer? What does God say about when a life becomes a life? I

The Vikings could just as easy be going to the Superbowl. The hands of fate went against them. Or their own mistakes, whichever you prefer. Saints won. They go. I liked the game, watched it from start to finish. What I didn't like was that the Saints played the edge, they hit Favre late so many times with cheap shots it became sickening. Without question, they were trying to take him out. Sure,

The Sad Condition of the American Churches

2010-01-22T19:21:00.002-06:00

You know many pastors especially denominational pastors are more concerned with not rocking the boat and cruising in until retirement. They teach a nicely prepared, friendly message; one that doesn't provoke any deep thought, self examination, or action. It's what they are comfortable with, not what the Holy Spirit wants them to say. Churches are often measured by the size of their congregation

I Can't Be Broken

2010-01-21T14:42:00.002-06:00

"His purpose in the creation of mankind was to develop an association on His own plane. Otherwise God would have been eternally living with babies and imbeciles. Genesis 1:26" Here's another one I like because through Him we can't be conquered or broken. "Other souls may shatter on the rocks: other souls may wither in disappointment, but the lives that have been planted in that spirit of divine

Healing----The Short Course

2010-01-21T14:35:00.001-06:00

Healing in any department of the nature of man, whether spirit, soul or body, is but a means to an end. The object of healing is health, abiding health of the body, soul, and spirit. Healing of the whole being. The healing of the spirit unites the spirit of man to God forever. The healing of the soul corrects psychic disorder and brings the soul processes into harmony with the mind of God. And

Isn't Pride Great-----------No

2010-01-21T14:26:00.000-06:00

Everything that Jesus did was the will and the Word of the Father. So everything the Christian does, if he is obedient, should be the will and word of Jesus Christ. Observation demonstrates that the really great people in God who bless mankind are those who try to live in absolute accordance with the teachings of Jesus. Yet we all fall short------------yet they try. Every time I write a post

You Can Do This If Just Believe!!!!!

2010-01-19T14:48:00.000-06:00

This is about John G. Lake and told by him. "A few months ago I was absent from the city of Spokane, and when I returned Mrs. Lake was not at home. It was just about time to leave for my afternoon service. Just then someone came in and said, "Your secretary, Mrs. Graham, is in the throes of death and your wife is with her." So I hurried down to the place. When I got there the wife of one of my

I Trust the One and Only.

2010-01-18T13:51:00.000-06:00

It is not try to trust; it is not trying to get healed. It is trusting Him for it and believing Him when He says He will do it. Healing is not a difficult matter. It does not take a bit more faith to be healed from your sickness than it does to be saved from your sins. So why be damned and why be sick??? There is no need to be either cause our ticket has already been paid for. Just believe it.

Victory or Defeat---We Have A Choice!!!!

2010-01-18T13:32:00.000-06:00

In those early centuries of Christianity, Christianity did not go into the world apologizing. It went to slay the powers of darkness and undo the works of the devil, and it lived in holy triumph. Are we living in holy triumph now, or are we living in fear and doubt? We certainly are not living in triumph, nor are our children, or our marriages. Most of us really don't know what to do. When you

The Master of Disaster----Oprah

2010-01-18T13:08:00.000-06:00

"For many deceivers have gone out in the world who do not confess Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist. Look to yourselves that we do not lose those things we worked for, but that we may receive a full reward. Whoever transgresses and does not abide in the doctrine of Christ does not have God. He who abides in the doctrine of Christ has both the Father

Haiti-----Whose Going to Help It----We Are!!!!

2010-01-14T12:53:00.000-06:00

Haiti--I can't get it out of my mind. It brings me back to Katrina, and those old haunting memories. The memories of a terrible catastrophe; the memories of a government who totally and cold heartedly let her people suffer deplorable circumstances. FEMA has become a national embarrassment to the people of these United States. Who is going to help Haiti? I say that churches in a united effort,

The Slippery Slope---Will America Get Traction?????

2010-01-13T10:37:00.000-06:00

Oil is the new gold in the world economy, and more than any factor other than the nation of Israel, oil holds the key to the prophetic events of the future. Oil explains why the Bible focuses its end time attention on the Middle East. The demand for oil in America has outstripped its capacity to produce. The same holds true for much of the rest of the world. Since the discovery of huge supplies

Luke Warm Doesn't Get It-----Really

2010-01-13T10:35:00.000-06:00

If God is ever disappointed when you wait in his presence, it will be because you are not fervent. If you are not serious and intense, you disappoint God. If God is with you and you know it, be in earnest. Pray and believe: "hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm to the end" (Hebrew 3:6). If you do not, you disappoint God. Jacob was that way. God said, "you are not real

Why The Church Is Failing In America!

2010-01-13T10:33:00.000-06:00

During the time of the beginning of the church, the disciples were pressured by many responsibilities. The practical things of life could not be attended to, and many were complaining concerning the neglect of their widows. Therefore, the disciples decided to choose seven men to do the work for caring for the needs of their widows, men who were " full of the Holy Spirit." What a divine thought.
