Satan's Meeting:




> SATAN'S MEETING: (Read even if you're busy)
>
> Satan called a worldwide convention of demons.
> In his opening address he said,
>
> "We can't keep Christians from going to church."
> "We can't keep them from reading their Bibles and knowing the truth."
> "We can't even keep them from forming an intimate relationship with
> their saviour."
> "Once they gain that connection with Jesus, our power over them is
broken."
>
> "So let them go to their churches; let them have their covered dish
> dinners,
>
> BUT steal their time, so they don't have time to develop a relationship
> with Jesus Christ.."
>
> "This is what I want you to do," said the devil:
> "Distract them from gaining hold of their Saviour and maintaining that
> vital connection throughout their day!"
>
> "How shall we do this?" his demons shouted.
>
> "Keep them busy in the non-essentials of life and invent innumerable
> schemes to occupy their minds," he answered.
> "Tempt them to spend, spend, spend, and borrow, borrow, borrow."
> "Persuade the wives to go to work for long hours and the husbands to work

> 6-7 days each week, 10-12 hours a day, so they can afford their empty
> lifestyles."
> "Keep them from spending time with their children."
> "As their families fragment, soon, their homes will offer no escape from
> the pressures of work!"
> "Over-stimulate their minds so that they cannot hear that still, small
> voice."
> "Entice them to play the radio or cassette player whenever they drive."
> To keep the TV, VCR, CDs and their PCs going constantly in their home and
> see
> to it that every store and restaurant in the world plays non-biblical
music
> constantly."
> "This will jam their minds and break that union with Christ."
>
> "Fill the coffee tables with magazines and newspapers."
> "Pound their minds with the news 24 hours a day."
> "Invade their driving moments with billboards."
> "Flood their mailboxes with junk mail, mail order catalogs, sweepstakes,
> and every kind of newsletter and promotional offering free products,
> services
> and false hopes.."
> "Keep skinny, beautiful models on the magazines and TV so their husbands
> will believe that outward beauty is what's important, and they'll become
> dissatisfied with their wives. "
>
> "Keep the wives too tired to love their husbands at night."
> "Give them headaches too! "
> "If they don't give their husbands the love they need, they will begin to

> look elsewhere."
>
> "That will fragment their families quickly!"
>
> "Give them Santa Claus to distract them from teaching their children
> the real meaning of Christmas."
>
> "Give them an Easter bunny so they won't talk about his resurrection
> and power over sin and death."
>
> "Even in their recreation, let them be excessive."
>
> "Have them return from their recreation exhausted"
>
> "Keep them too busy to go out in nature and reflect on God's creation.
> Send them to amusement parks, sporting events, plays, concerts, and
movies
> instead."
>
> "Keep them busy, busy, busy!"
>
> "And when they meet for spiritual fellowship, involve them in gossip
> and small talk so that they leave with troubled consciences."
>
> "Crowd their lives with so many good causes they have no time to seek
> power from Jesus."
>
> "Soon they will be working in their own strength, sacrificing their
health
> and family for the good of the cause."
>
> "It will work!"
> "It will work!"
>
> It was quite a plan!
> The demons went eagerly to their assignments causing Christians
everywhere
> to get busier and more rushed, going here and there.
>
> Having little time for their God or their families.
> Having no time to tell others about the power of Jesus to change lives.
>
> I guess the question is, has the devil been successful in his schemes?
>
> You be the judge!!!!!
>
> Does "BUSY" mean: B-eing U-nder S-atan's Y-oke?
>
> Please pass this on, if you aren't too BUSY!
> I don't think I know 10 people who would admit they love Jesus.
>
> Do You Love Him?
>
> IF YOU LOVE JESUS, PASS THIS ON!!!

President Material, None of the below.


Thx Bob N.



A few years ago a man who openly refused to pledge allegiance to his country would have been beaten-up for sure.

The Clinton's showed contempt for the military and they got reelected.

It seems that nothing will deter this race to the bottom of the moral pit.




Looks real dedicated !!!!! doesn't he....

Urban Legends Reference Pages: Barack Obama and the National Anthem

This is part of the path the Democrats are taking in trying to lead this country towards Liberalism and Socialism that fits in with their long standing platform of Tax and Spend Policy.



I had heard about this but a picture is definitely worth 1000 words.
God save us Respect
Senator Barack Obama, Governor Bill Richardson, Senator Hillary Clinton and Ruth Harkin stand during the national anthem.

Barack Hussein Obama's photo (that's his real name)
ELECTED NOT TO PLACE HIS HAND OVER HIS HEART DURING THE PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE, BUT REFUSED TO SAY THE PLEDGE.....how can a man like this expect to be our next Commander-in-Chief?

The Footprints of Satan
by Max Lucado
Once he was approached by a leper, who knelt before him begging his help. “If only you will,” said the man, “you can cleanse me.” In warm indignation Jesus stretched out his hand, [and] touched him.
Mark 1:40–41, NEB
I was in an emergency room late one night last week.
Victims of Satan filled the halls. A child—puffy, swollen eyes. Beaten by her father. A woman—bruised cheeks, bloody nose. “My boyfriend got drunk and hit me,” she said, weeping. An old man—
unconscious and drunk on a stretcher. He drooled blood in his sleep.
Jesus saw the victims of Satan, too.
He saw a leper one day … fingers gnarled … skin ulcerated … face disfigured.
And he got indignant … angry.
Not a selfish, violent anger. A holy anger …
a controlled frustration …
a compassionate disgust. And it moved him. It moved him to action.
I’m convinced that the same Satan stalks today,
causing the hunger in Somalia …
the confusion in the Mideast …
the egotism on the movie screen … the apathy in Christ’s church.
And Satan giggles among the dying.
Dear Father,
May we never grow so “holy,” may we never be so “mature,” may we never become so “religious” that we can see the footprints of Satan and stay calm.
