October 22, 2020! The Unspeakable Corruption of Joe Biden
PJMedia -- The latest stories detailing the financial corruption of Joe Biden come as no shock to anyone with open eyes. Joe Biden is a villain straight out of an Ayn Rand novel: A scheming mediocrity with no talent other than for gaming a crooked system. Despite the millions involved, and from sources as dubious as Communist China and Eastern European kleptocrats, a man’s willingness to grab some easy money when the grabbing is good… isn’t atypical.

Tony Bobulinski reported of his personal knowledge and association with the Biden crime family. He said: “the former vice president [Joe Biden] was a willing and eager participant in a family scheme to make millions of dollars by partnering with a shady Chinese Communist firm,” according to NY Post columnist Michael Goodwin and other news outlets who haven’t spent the last week studiously avoiding perhaps the biggest story of financial corruption in American presidential election history.

We Are Going To Leave Behind Thousands Of Americans In Afghanistan...
8-19-21, TheFederalist -- In Biden’s remarks to the press Friday, he was either openly deceiving the American people or he is completely unaware of ...

If the situation on the ground in Afghanistan remains as it is, we are almost certainly going to leave Americans behind. Ole Joe Biden is either lying or completely misinformed when he says that any American who wants to leave Afghanistan will be able to leave, or that any American who wants to get to the airport can get there. Americans trapped in Kabul right now are saying the opposite.

A deluge of news reports coming in from Afghanistan indicate it’s almost impossible to get into the Kabul airport, even for Americans and Afghan with Special Immigrant Visas, for SIVs. There have even been reports, for days now, that some Americans have been beaten at Taliban checkpoints, and that contrary to Biden’s claims, showing a U.S. passport doesn’t guarantee anyone passage to the airport.

Even those who can get to the airport can’t get past the gates because the entire area is in chaos. David Fox, an American man trapped in Kabul with his Afghan wife and son, told ABC News that when he arrived at the airport perimeter, there were perhaps a thousand people, mostly Afghans, trying to get in. U.S. Marines were firing warning shots into the air and throwing flash-bang grenades to keep the crowd at bay.

When he managed to make eye contact with a Marine, Fox said, the soldier shouted at him to leave the area, that it wasn’t safe. “The airport is very dangerous,” Fox told ABC News. “The Americans do not have control of the northern gates.” He added that British troops, “for some reason are not allowing American passport-holders to come in” at the south gate they control.

Asked whether he would authorize U.S. troops to go out into Kabul to get Americans who are unable to get to the airport or who are trapped behind Taliban checkpoints, Biden said, “We know of no circumstance where American citizens have not been able to get to the airport,” and claimed that U.S. officials are in “close contact” with the Taliban, and that, essentially everything is going swimmingly. But we all know that isn’t true — and we also know that other countries are sending troops out into Kabul to rescue their stranded citizens and bring them to the airport. The United Kingdom this week deployed 900 elite paratroopers into Kabul to rescue some 4,000 U.K. nationals in the city. The soldiers were reportedly told to expect combat with Taliban fighters.

CNN’s Clarissa Ward, who has been reporting from the airport, said yesterday that in an eight-hour span, not a single U.S. evacuation flight had left. The situation she describes is harrowing. Thousands of people, Afghans and Americans and dozens of other nationalities, have gotten into the airport compound, but there is no process or system in place to get people on flights or provide basic necessities for the people who are waiting.

Scripture for Today, 5-16-21: Worship & Rest #4

5/16/2021

Our Weekly Day of Rest and Worship
"And remember that thou wast a servant in the land of Egypt, and that the LORD thy God brought thee out thence through a mighty hand and by a stretched out arm: therefore the LORD thy God commanded thee to keep the sabbath day.”

Deuteronomy 5:15

THE TEN COMMANDMENTS
1: No other gods before Me.“You shall have no other gods before Me." -Exodus 20:3
In view of His sovereignty and goodness (vs. 2), we are commanded to have no other gods before the Lord.

2: You shall not make for yourself a carved image."You shall not make for yourself a carved image..." -Exodus 20:4
The first and second commandments go hand in hand, both emphasizing the need to give our worship exclusively to the one true God. The Israelites violated this commandment and crafted their own graven image, a golden calf, even before Moses came down from the Mountain.

3: You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain."You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain..." -Exodus 20:7
To take God’s name in vain is to use it in an empty or meaningless way. Because “there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved,” we must be careful to instead treat the name of God with honor and reverence (Acts 4:12).

4: Remember the Sabbath day."Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy."-Exodus 20:8
In wisdom and grace, God commanded His people to observe a weekly day of rest. The Sabbath was to be observed in imitation of God’s own work in Creation (Exod. 20:11), as well as His redemptive work (Deut. 5:15).

5: Honor your father and your mother."Honor your father and your mother..."-Exodus 20:12
The fifth commandment is reiterated by the apostle Paul who describes it as “the first commandment with promise” (Eph. 6:2). Honoring God means honoring the authority He has placed in our lives.

6: You shall not murder."You shall not murder." -Exodus 20:13
The taking of human life is expressly forbidden. Jesus elaborates on this commandment in the Sermon on the Mount, revealing that the sin of murder begins in the heart (Matt. 5:21-22).

7: You shall not commit adultery."You shall not commit adultery." -Exodus 20:14
The sanctity of marriage is given noteworthy attention throughout Scripture. Christ reminds us in Matthew 5:27-30 that the marriage relationship must be guarded diligently.

8: You shall not steal."You shall not steal." -Exodus 20:15
Theft is forbidden by God. Instead, we are to be content with what we have and trust God to supply all our need in Christ Jesus (1 Tim. 6:6; Phil. 4:19).

9: You shall not bear false witness."You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor." -Exodus 20:16
Honesty must always characterize our speech and conduct. To bear false witness against our neighbor is an affront to a holy God Who is Himself "the truth and the life" (John 14:6).

10: You shall not covet."You shall not covet...anything that is your neighbor’s." -Exodus 20:17
God has promised to meet all our needs, both spiritual and physical, and we should therefore be content with whatever He has provided (Phil. 4:19; Matt. 6:33; Heb. 13:5).

Scripture for Today, 2-3-21: Secret Angel

The Wonderful Angel
The angel of the LORD said: 'Why askest thou thus after my name, seeing it is secret?”

Judges 13:18

This intriguing encounter occurred during one of Israel’s periods of apostasy and servitude, when the people had been ruled for 40 years by the pagan Philistines. There was one godly couple in the tribe of Dan, however, who evidently had long been praying for a son, and God finally answered their prayers. “The angel of the LORD” came to give the good news to Manoah and his wife. The remarkable son who was to come was mighty Samson, who later would free his people.

But it is the Angel Himself who is most intriguing here. His name was “Secret,” meaning “too marvelous even to comprehend.” The same word is translated “Wonderful” in Isaiah 9:6, where it is cited as a name of the coming divine Son, whose name would also be “mighty God” and “everlasting Father.”

This “angel of the LORD” was thus none other than God the Son in one of His rare pre-incarnate appearances, or theophanies, when the =>

<= invisible God manifested Himself visibly to man. There are many created angels (Hebrews 12:22), when the invisible God manifested Himself visibly to man. There are many created angels (Hebrews 12:22), or “messengers,” of God, but on certain occasions, this One who is called “the angel of the LORD” (also “the angel of his presence,” as in Isaiah 63:9, and “the Angel which redeemed me,” as in Genesis 48:16), is clearly none other than God Himself. In such cases, it could only have been the pre-incarnate Christ, for the Bible says: “No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him” (John 1:18).

God had already revealed Himself in this way to great men of God, and now even to an unknown couple. Eventually this Angel, whose name is Wonderful, “was made flesh, and dwelt among us” (John 1:14), and will one day dwell with His people forever (Revelation 21:3).

Scripture for today, 1-16-21: Angels' Protection

Angels: God’s Secret Agents
“The Apostle Peter was imprisoned and was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains: and the keepers before the door kept the prison. And, behold, the angel of the Lord came upon him, and a light shined in the prison: and he smote Peter on the side, and raised him up, saying, 'Arise up quickly.' And his chains fell off from his hands. And the angel said unto him, 'Gird thyself, and bind on thy sandals.' And so he did. And he saith unto him, 'Cast thy garment about thee, and follow me'.”

Acts 12:6-8; Psalm 22:19-21; Daniel 6:22

1-16-21, I am sharing this excerpt from Billy Graham’s 1975 book as it is a faith building report of instances of recorded and documented events where the Lord sent His holy angels to protect His chosen.

Chapter 1: Billy Graham, 1975: “I did this biblical study on angels believing this subject is very relevant. As I searched libraries and bookstores, I was surprised to find many volumes on Satan … who is a fallen angel … but nothing on God’s good angels. Although I did find that John Calvin said, “Angels are the dispensers and administrators of the divine beneficence toward us. They regard our safety, undertake our defense, direct our ways and exercise a constant solicitude that no evil befall us.”

A missionary in China shared the truths of the Lord Jesus with an illiterate Chinese mother who had never seen a Bible. The missionary told her that ‘Jesus is able to help you when you’re in trouble.’ There came a time when the woman was about to be attacked by a tiger. In her fear she cried out, ‘Oh Jesus, help me!’ The ferocious beast, instead of attacking suddenly turned and ran away! Was there an angel standing by?

Another event as recorded in Readers Digest happened to a celebrated Philadelphia neurologist, Dr. S. W. Mitchell. He had gone to bed after a very tiring day when suddenly he was awakened by a deeply upset little girl knocking on his door who asked him to come with her as her mother was very sick. It was a cold and snowy night but the doctor dressed and followed her. Arriving at the home of the mother who was desperately ill with Pneumonia … he arranged for her care and complimented the woman for the persistence.

Psalm 91:11 11
"For God will command His angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways;"

Psalm 103:20 "Praise the LORD, you His angels, you mighty ones who do His bidding, who obey His word."

Matthew 18:10 10
Jesus about children: "See that you do not despise one of these little ones. For I tell you that their angels in heaven always see the face of My Father in heaven."

Luke 15:10 10
"In the same way, I tell you, there is rejoicing in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents." Luke 13:3
_______
Note: If God protected His servants in the past ... surely He'll do it in the present. And hopefully President Trump is one of His faithful servants who is protected.

Hymn: 'Angel's Band'
Jesus said, "Verily, verily, I say unto you, Hereafter ye shall see heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man." ... "For He shall give His angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways."

John 1:51, Psalm 91:11-12; Revelation 5: 11-12

7-23-20, This song about angels and our immortal home could be about when God's born again believers are taken alive in the rapture or when we stop breathing on this earth. Comforting.

***
The Hymn 'Angel's Band'
Originally titled "My Latest Sun Is Sinking Fast"
Written by Jefferson Hascall and lyrics added by J. W. Dadmun in 1860

My latest sun is sinking fast, my race is nearly run
My strongest trials now are past, my triumph has begun
Oh, come angel band, come and around me, stand

Oh, bear me away on your snow white wings
To my immortal home
Oh, bear me away on your snow white wings
To my immortal home

Oh, bear my longing heart to Him
Who bled and died for me
Whose blood now cleanses from all sin
And gives me victory

Oh, come angel band, come and around me, stand
Oh, bear me away on your snow white wings
To my immortal home
Oh, bear me away on your snow white wings
To my immortal home.

Ways Angels Function on Our Behalf
*
“An angel went down at a certain season into the pool, and troubled the water: whosoever then first after the troubling of the water stepped in was made whole of whatsoever disease he had.”**

John 5:4

8-31-19, * -- Angels are a very real part of the spirit realm. They are constantly functioning on our behalf fighting and warring for us; the Lord commissions angels on our behalf. There will be times God will send angels to minister to us; many are sensitive enough to be aware of it.

When Jesus was in the garden, He was ministered to by the angels. (Luke 22:41-43). After His days in the wilderness, angels also came and ministered to Him there (Matt. 4:11). Many Christians have testified that they have been ministered to by angels [1]; they can:

help minister cleansing and purging (Isa. 6:6-7)
assist in the healing ministry (John 5:4)
help bring breakthrough and deliverance (Ps. 34:7; Acts 5:19, 12:7)
help bring guidance and direction (Acts 5:20, 8:26)
be used by God to administer judgment (Acts 12:23)
bring prophetic direction and assurance in difficult situations (Acts 27:23-24)
bring divine protection from evil and danger (Ps. 91:11)
deliver a word or message from God (Matt. 1:20; Luke 1:13; Rev. 1:1)
appear in dreams (Matt. 2:13)
appear in visions (Acts 10:3)
manifest in human form (Heb. 13:2)

Famous NFL Quarterback Now Playing MLBaseball for the NY Mets - Tough first game in Spring Training

3-8-17, NYPost -- Why Tim Tebow is good for baseball

PORT ST. LUCIE Florida Spring Training — Tim Tebow's first major league action in the NY Mets’ 8-7 spring training win over the Red Sox at First Data Field before a sellout crowd of 6,538. He hasn't played baseball since high school twelve years ago. Go ahead, make all the Tebow-doesn’t-belong jokes you want, but say this for the Mets’ grand Tebow experiment and marketing scheme: The hulking Tebow is making baseball fun again.

In his first outing as designated hitter ... striking out looking twice and making a base-running mistake, getting doubled off first with the bases loaded and no out on a line drive to second. His only path to first was being hit by a pitch. Tim did get baseball’s first recorded standing ovation for hitting into that double play, but, hey, a run scored on the play.

Tim Tebow Foundation | Bringing Faith, Hope and Love
Our mission is to bring Faith, Hope and Love to those needing a brighter day in their darkest hour of need.

Note: I for one will be rooting for the Mets this year as our brother in Christ, Tim Tebow, will be sharing our Lord Jesus with everyone he can. He needs our prayers. -- Annette

Car Fell on Stephen Parker, Fifty Pound Eight Year Old 'JT' Said, 'Angels helped me.'

3-9-17, IdahoNews -- Eight year old, fifty pound JT Parker somehow had supernatural strength to operate the car jack to lift a car off his father, Stephen Parker saving his life.

How it happened: Stephen and his two sons, 17 yr old Mason and J.T., were working on a car in their backyard. "We were pulling the engine out and after we got it jacked up, I climbed under there to take the axels off. One axle came off pretty easily, but the other side wasn't coming off. When I went to adjust the second axle and move the jack, the car fell on me. JT was the only one around as Mason minutes earlier had gone inside the house with a cut hand."
Steven said: "I yelled to J.T. on the other side of the car, 'Jack it up quick! Jack it up quick! I couldn't move at all. I was totally trapped and then I passed out. It was all in his hands, and I thought, 'This is it. There's no way he can jack up this car because it took my 17-year-old son and I both to jack it up the first time."
Despite weighing only 50 pounds JT was able to operate the jack as the car slowly started raising off his father. "It was just a miracle," said Stephen, who was home two days after the accident.
After settling back at home, Stephen asked JT to jack up the car again – he couldn't do it. When JT was asked how he had the strength to save his father? He answered:
"Angels."
