 I believe the Bible makes it clear that every person is incredibly worthy in God's economy. I think it is capitalism that affords the individual with the best opportunity to realize his or her worth according to God's will.
 In capitalism and/or free enterprise system, every person has the opportunity to become his or her best. Whatever a person inherently is endowed with can become more under capitalism.
 In capitalism, a person can earn his or her own way. While capitalism does not promise equal outcomes (and neither does the Lord), it does offer equal opportunity and with opportunity anything is possible according to the will of God.
With capitalism's emphasis on the individual, a person must rely on self and God in order to have his or her needs met. Socialism sees the state as sovereign. Consequently, a person comes to rely on the state to have his or her needs met and God need never enter the equation.
 Leviticus 19:9-10 When you reap the harvest of your land, do not reap to the very edges of your field or gather the gleanings of your harvest.Do not go over your vineyard a second time or pick up the grapes that have fallen. Leave them for the poor and the alien. I am the LORD your God. There is something self-affirming, something that underscores dignity when a person earns his or her own way.  read more »

The Doctrine of the Catholic Kennedy? Worthless

In 1960, JFK theorized the most rigid separation between Church
and state, in order to be acceptable as president. Half a century
later, Archbishop Chaput is accusing him of causing serious damage.

ROME, March 2, 2010 – Precisely fifty years after the memorable
speech, preserved in the anthologies, that John F. Kennedy gave to the
Protestant pastors of Houston in order to convince them and the entire
nation that as a Catholic he could be a good president (see photo), the
archbishop of Denver, Charles J. Chaput, has returned to the scene of
the crime, in Houston, for a Baptist conference on the role of
Christians in public life.
The "crime" was precisely the one committed by Kennedy with that
speech, Chaput maintained in his talk, given yesterday evening at
Houston Baptist University and reproduced in its entirety further below.
"Today, half a century later, we’re paying for the damage," said
Chaput, who of all the bishops of the United States is the one most
active in the area of relations between the Church and political
leadership. He has also written a book on this topic, "Render Unto
Caesar," the central thesis of which is that Caesar must be given his
due, but that a Christian serves his nation by living his faith in
political life in complete consistency and visibility, without hiding
or diluting it.  read more »

AN OPEN LETTER TO PRESIDENT OBAMA

Dear President Obama:

You are the thirteenth President under whom I have lived and unlike any of the others, you truly scare me.

You scare me because after months of exposure, I know nothing about you.

You scare me because I do not know how you paid for your expensive Ivy
League education and your upscale lifestyle and housing with no visible
signs of support.

You scare me because you did not spend the formative years of youth
growing up in America and culturally you are not an American.

You scare me because you have never run a company or met a payroll.

You scare me because you have never had military experience, thus don't understand it at its core..

You scare me because you lack humility and 'class', always blaming others.

You scare me because for over half your life you have aligned yourself
with radical extremists who hate America and you refuse to publicly
denounce these radicals who wish to see America fail.

You scare me because you are a cheerleader for the 'blame America' crowd
and deliver this message abroad.

You scare me because you want to change America to a European style
country where the government sector dominates instead of the private
sector.

You scare me because you want to replace our health care system with a government controlled one.  read more »

Love is the glue that holds together the Majesty of the Bible coupled with the power of Christ. It can produce phenomenal results if we dare to love fully. Indeed, love is a vital part of our lives and service. It is THE element that brings success if deeply implanted, or, failure if we neglect it. As clearly stated in 1 Corinthians 13, without love, we are nothing. Without love, we really can give nothing or have power over anything.

Love gives life, encouragment and assurance. It is the power to salvation, healing, and it can even affect one's looks. The application of love should be in the realm of duty for every one who is called a Christian.

People die due to lack of love. Now read that again. This has proven to be true. In the days of Soviet Communist Russia, it was noted that babies in State Orphanages were dying at an alarming rate, which made little sense. The babies were well cared for, given the food needed, had clearn warm beds to sleep in, and lively play rooms. After careful investigation a startling conclusion was reached. While these babies were provided all creature comforts and necessities, there was one thing missing, the thing that was the deciding factor between life and death.  read more »

Dr Martin Luther King once said, "I have a dream, one day my four little children will live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but the content of their character." He Also quoted our founder's, and with conviction said " We hold these truths to be self evident, that all men are created equal"

Dr. King is one of my personal hero's, because he was authentic, spiritual, loving, compassionate, and more importantly, fallible, yes fallible. Very few people have had such a profound impact on American society, he believed in personal responsibility and equality. He didn't walk on water, and he never claimed too. Dr. King succumb to temptation, he fell down, he struggled, but as every great man of faith, he carried on. He kept the message passionate and would not let his trials and tribulations hinder his ardent pursuit for equality and justice.

Liberals like President Pinocchio have so drastically skewed the memory of a divinely guided man, and it's a great shame. King was not a politician, his agenda was equal treatment for all man kind. The vast majority of conservative Christian Americans, of which I am and Dr. king was too, believe all human life is sacred, it doesn't matter your color, race, gender, abnormality, age, or location (womb). In God's eyes we are all equal.  read more »

Keep your eye on Tiger, because they are stealing are nation..

I am thoroughly exhausted, and at wits end, some one tell me this is a joke. Have you had the misfortune to understand just what stands between us and a radical new Marxist regime? A government that is free to tax us into slavery, defile our God, murder millions of innocent lives at the tax payer expense, euthanize our elderly, forfeit our monetary resources to third world countries, and teach our children that gay debauchery is as natural as witchcraft and mother Earth? John Baner, Michael Steele, John McCain, Newt Gingrich? Sorry, but none of these career politicians have me feeling warm and fuzzy inside, right from their suit and ties down to their typified Washington speak. I mad as heck! I am frustrated as heck! I want some one representing us who can cut through the PC jargon and convey the fact that we are tired of the lies, we are not stupid, and we've had enough!

During President Obama's latest infomercial, an endless diatribe of over-inflated answers laden with the usual propaganda about healthcare, we witnessed the politics of racism. A softball question at the end of the night, with which the media and the citizenry were to be led on a diversion from the disastrous health care takeover, was thrown. When the president was asked about the recent event, in which a Harvard professor was arrested at his own home, the President ridiculed the Cambridge officers as being stupid, suggesting racial profiling.  read more »

The thirteenth amendment, officially abolished slavery, ending years of heartless abuse, indignity, and utter tragedy. December 6th 1865, Americans determined that "Neither slavery or involuntary servitude....Shall exist with in The United States." This long over due day in history, did not quell discrimination, hatred, or bigotry, but it did however, conclude that no American will ever own another.... Or did it?

I contend, that the liberal democrats, are a collection of the largest and most powerful slave owners in history. Over the years, the liberals have enslaved minorities and the poor, with an especially tight grip on the African American community. By infiltrating academia with poisonous propaganda, the malcontent mind begins shortly after birth. (As the progressive liberal will seek to indoctrinate our children earlier and earlier, first it was pre-school)  read more »

For the United States is in so much grief, and dispair.
Because of such denial of Christianity, which our forefathers did bear.
They based a great nation, on what Christ had to share.
But the oncoming generations, prooved, and showed, they did not care;
About what the forefathers implanted in the nation, that we must bear.
What we must stand up for, fight for, and share; that GOD, through Christ, and the cross;
DEMANDED we care.
