The real meaning of Christmas
Meaning of Christmas
Every one should know that there is a reason of our life and that Christmas has direct bearing…
But how and why?
What is the purpose of life?
How does Christmas effect your life?
The purpose of life falls into several different areas;
1) the Main reason God make humans which so that they could learn to love and praise Him!
2) from the human perspective the reason for most people is to seek pleasure and pursue self indulgence!
3) yet except for the birth of Christ; there would not be any real future, beyond this world!
Having followed the purpose and meaning of Christmas; we should have learned that without Christmas this world would be truly lost!
If people would take time to check the truth of the meaning of Christmas; they would find that there is a purpose and reason for the even… it marks a change in the world unparalleled…
One Solitary Life
He was born in an obscure village
The child of a peasant woman
He grew up in another obscure village
Where he worked in a carpenter shop
Until he was thirty He never wrote a book
He never held an office
He never went to college
He never visited a big city
He never travelled more than two hundred miles
From the place where he was born
He did none of the things
Usually associated with greatness
He had no credentials but himself
He was only thirty three
His friends ran away
One of them denied him
He was turned over to his enemies
And went through the mockery of a trial
He was nailed to a cross between two thieves
While dying, his executioners gambled for his clothing
The only property he had on earth
When he was dead
He was laid in a borrowed grave
Through the pity of a friend
Nineteen centuries have come and gone
And today Jesus is the central figure of the human race
And the leader of mankind’s progress
All the armies that have ever marched
All the navies that have ever sailed
All the parliaments that have ever sat
All the kings that ever reigned put together
Have not affected the life of mankind on earth
As powerfully as that one solitary life
Dr James Allan © 1926.
Christianity is about a relationship with a risen savior
Belief or following; Jesus, or Joshua, or Yesuha is actually a relationship with Almighty God! Jesus has had more impact on mankind for good than any other person: period!
If you look like at all the rest of the so called prophets, wise men or religious leaders in history, you will not find the complete history to back up or show the depth which comes from the Holy Bible!
The Bible was written over a 2500 year period; by over forty (40) different authors; It is the Only Book ever written which covers the Creation, the agonizing journey of mankind and then the end of the ages…
Where as all other so called holy books were written by a very few men during one contemporary lifetime! Generally these so called religious writings require strict rules and many difficult life changes… So why chase after and look to such limited means!
So when you stop and consider Christmas and it’s message about the Birth of Christ; who came as God in human form to provide a direct link for mankind to be redeemed – you must realize that it is something of very different importance!
***
Here is the summery of Christmas in a song by a wonderful young woman who uses her God given talent to place the Divine message for us all to hear and know! There is really no excuse for not understanding why Christ came and then how & why He died for you; friend! Accept it as your salvation is near! Amen!

Christmas is the connection of lost mankind with The Loving God Almighty! Amen!

Can you survive?
Is a survival compound your best bet?
If all the chatter on survival forums and in survival blogs is true, a compound of like-minded survivalists and/or preppers is the best way to prepare for the future. This opinion was voiced by a friend of ours last night, and I've been thinking about it.
The truth is, there are several drawbacks to the classic survival compound.
1. I can't think of a more effective way of placing a big bullseye on an individual or family than to be a part of an easily identifiable compound. Just as everyone in Waco, Texas knew who the Branch Davidians were, it won't take long before the folks in town know about you and your fellow survivalists.
2. The feds have infiltrated militia groups, and there's no reason to think they won't infiltrate survival and prepper groups. After all, we seem to be on their "enemies list".
3. Ever heard of the saying, "Familiarity breeds contempt"? When people live too close to each other and are too dependent on each other, conflict is inevitable. After all, a lot of people have a love/hate relationship with their own family members and everyone in the compound will be well-armed!
4. Survival-types tend to be very strong and independent minded and such people often find it hard to make all the compromises necessary when it comes to co-existing with others in a tight community.
5. No matter how many commonalities you may have with other group members, schisms between individuals and groups will appear. Even if everyone in your compound was of the same race, religion, and political party, there will still be differences of opinion that may become quite heated over time.
6. George Orwell said it best, "All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others." Going in, it may seem as if everyone in the compound is on equal footing, but how long will that last? How will goods, services, and skills be shared and distributed? Some families will have more financial resources than others. Will they be expected to share?
Is there a better solution? Survivalist writer Bruce Clayton recommends moving to a village where a support system is already in place, rather than creating one from scratch. Meet-up groups are one way of getting in touch with others who are like-minded, because even in the largest of cities, there are many, many survival-minded people out there.
I've been talking about assessing the survivability of your own home and neighborhood on my Radio Hour. You can listen to this on Shows #16 and #17 here.
As always, hope for the best but be prepared for the worst.

Dr. Martin L King was a Repubilician
Here are some facts that a certain political party will not tell you!
It should come as no surprise that Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was a Republican. In that era, almost all black Americans were Republicans. Why? From its founding in 1854 as the anti-slavery party until today, the Republican Party has championed freedom and civil rights for blacks. And as one pundit so succinctly stated, the Democrat Party is as it always has been, the party of the four S's: slavery, secession, segregation and now socialism.
It was the Democrats who fought to keep blacks in slavery and passed the discriminatory Black Codes and Jim Crow laws. The Democrats started the Ku Klux Klan to lynch and terrorize blacks. The Democrats fought to prevent the passage of every civil rights law beginning with the civil rights laws of the 1860s, and continuing with the civil rights laws of the 1950s and 1960s.
During the civil rights era of the 1960s, Dr. King was fighting the Democrats who stood in the school house doors, turned skin-burning fire hoses on blacks and let loose vicious dogs. It was Republican President Dwight Eisenhower who pushed to pass the Civil Rights Act of 1957 and sent troops to Arkansas to desegregate schools. President Eisenhower also appointed Chief Justice Earl Warren to the U.S. Supreme Court, which resulted in the 1954 Brown v. Board of Education decision ending school segregation. Much is made of Democrat President Harry Truman's issuing an Executive Order in 1948 to desegregate the military. Not mentioned is the fact that it was Eisenhower who actually took action to effectively end segregation in the military.
Democrat President John F. Kennedy is lauded as a proponent of civil rights. However, Kennedy voted against the 1957 Civil Rights Act while he was a senator, as did Democrat Sen. Al Gore Sr. And after he became President, Kennedy was opposed to the 1963 March on Washington by Dr. King that was organized by A. Phillip Randolph, who was a black Republican. President Kennedy, through his brother Atty. Gen. Robert Kennedy, had Dr. King wiretapped and investigated by the FBI on suspicion of being a Communist in order to undermine Dr. King.
In March of 1968, while referring to Dr. King's leaving Memphis, Tenn., after riots broke out where a teenager was killed, Democrat Sen. Robert Byrd (W.Va.), a former member of the Ku Klux Klan, called Dr. King a "trouble-maker" who starts trouble, but runs like a coward after trouble is ignited. A few weeks later, Dr. King returned to Memphis and was assassinated on April 4, 1968.
Given the circumstances of that era, it is understandable why Dr. King was a Republican. It was the Republicans who fought to free blacks from slavery and amended the Constitution to grant blacks freedom (13th Amendment), citizenship (14th Amendment) and the right to vote (15th Amendment). Republicans passed the civil rights laws of the 1860s, including the Civil Rights Act of 1866 and the Reconstruction Act of 1867 that was designed to establish a new government system in the Democrat-controlled South, one that was fair to blacks. Republicans also started the NAACP and affirmative action with Republican President Richard Nixon's 1969 Philadelphia Plan (crafted by black Republican Art Fletcher) that set the nation's fist goals and timetables. Although affirmative action now has been turned by the Democrats into an unfair quota system, affirmative action was begun by Nixon to counter the harm caused to blacks when Democrat President Woodrow Wilson in 1912 kicked all of the blacks out of federal government jobs.
Few black Americans know that it was Republicans who founded the Historically Black Colleges and Universities. Unknown also is the fact that Republican Sen. Everett Dirksen from Illinois was key to the passage of civil rights legislation in 1957, 1960, 1964 and 1965. Not mentioned in recent media stories about extension of the 1965 Voting Rights Act is the fact that Dirksen wrote the language for the bill. Dirksen also crafted the language for the Civil Rights Act of 1968 which prohibited discrimination in housing. President Lyndon Johnson could not have achieved passage of civil rights legislation without the support of Republicans.
Critics of Republican Sen. Barry Goldwater, who ran for President against Johnson in 1964, ignore the fact that Goldwater wanted to force the Democrats in the South to stop passing discriminatory laws and thus end the need to continuously enact federal civil rights legislation.
Those who wrongly criticize Goldwater also ignore the fact that Johnson, in his 4,500 State of the Union Address delivered on Jan. 4, 1965, mentioned scores of topics for federal action, but only 35 words were devoted to civil rights. He did not mention one word about voting rights. Then in 1967, showing his anger with Dr. King's protest against the Vietnam War, Johnson referred to Dr. King as "that Nigger preacher."
Contrary to the false assertions by Democrats, the racist "Dixiecrats" did not all migrate to the Republican Party. "Dixiecrats" declared that they would rather vote for a "yellow dog" than vote for a Republican because the Republican Party was know as the party for blacks. Today, some of those "Dixiecrats" continue their political careers as Democrats, including Robert Byrd, who is well known for having been a "Keagle" in the Ku Klux Klan.
Another former "Dixiecrat" is former Democrat Sen. Ernest Hollings, who put up the Confederate flag over the state Capitol when he was the governor of South Carolina. There was no public outcry when Democrat Sen. Christopher Dodd praised Byrd as someone who would have been "a great senator for any moment," including the Civil War. Yet Democrats denounced then-Senate GOP leader Trent Lott for his remarks about Sen. Strom Thurmond (R.-S.C.). Thurmond was never in the Ku Klux Klan and defended blacks against lynching and the discriminatory poll taxes imposed on blacks by Democrats. If Byrd and Thurmond were alive during the Civil War, and Byrd had his way, Thurmond would have been lynched.
The 30-year odyssey of the South switching to the Republican Party began in the 1970s with President Richard Nixon's "Southern Strategy," which was an effort on the part of Nixon to get Christians in the South to stop voting for Democrats who did not share their values and were still discriminating against their fellow Christians who happened to be black. Georgia did not switch until 2002, and some Southern states, including Louisiana, are still controlled by Democrats.
Today, Democrats, in pursuit of their socialist agenda, are fighting to keep blacks poor, angry and voting for Democrats. Examples of how egregiously Democrats act to keep blacks in poverty are numerous.
After wrongly convincing black Americans that a minimum wage increase was a good thing, the Democrats on August 3 kept their promise and killed the minimum wage bill passed by House Republicans on July 29. The blockage of the minimum wage bill was the second time in as many years that Democrats stuck a legislative finger in the eye of black Americans. Senate Democrats on April 1, 2004, blocked passage of a bill to renew the 1996 welfare reform law that was pushed by Republicans and vetoed twice by President Clinton before he finally signed it. Since the welfare reform law expired in September 2002, Congress had passed six extensions, and the latest expired on June 30, 2004. Opposed by the Democrats are school choice opportunity scholarships that would help black children get out of failing schools and Social Security reform, even though blacks on average lose $10,000 in the current system because of a shorter life expectancy than whites (72.2 years for blacks vs. 77.5 years for whites).
Democrats have been running our inner-cities for the past 30 to 40 years, and blacks are still complaining about the same problems. More than $7 trillion dollars have been spent on poverty programs since Lyndon Johnson's War on Poverty with little, if any, impact on poverty. Diabolically, every election cycle, Democrats blame Republicans for the deplorable conditions in the inner-cities, then incite blacks to cast a protest vote against Republicans.
In order to break the Democrats' stranglehold on the black vote and free black Americans from the Democrat Party's economic plantation, we must shed the light of truth on the Democrats. We must demonstrate that the Democrat Party policies of socialism and dependency on government handouts offer the pathway to poverty, while Republican Party principles of hard work, personal responsibility, getting a good education and ownership of homes and small businesses offer the pathway to prosperity.

The real Purpose of your life!
The whole purpose of our life is to Praise God!
When God is revealing bits and pieces of your purpose through the seasons of your life, remember that even if He has told you how you will ultimately serve Him, it doesn’t mean that the fulfillment of your purpose will happen in a straight line. Instead, you might feel like you are going in circles, like you are wandering. Yet this is OK. God won’t waste any of your experiences (Romans 8:28). And even if some of your “circles” seem unrelated to God’s calling, He will weave them in to His purpose for your life. Rest assured, He is still in control and will perfect that which concerns you (Psalm 138:8).
My personal experience has shown me that God is more than able to lead you into your purpose; without your help! He is able to guide you exactly where you need to be; your job is to remain open to what He wants to do through you while you wander and wait.
1) learn to adore God in spirit and in truth means to adore Him as we should. Because God is a Spirit, we must worship Him in spirit. That is to say we need to worship Him with a humble, sincere love that comes from the depth and center of our souls! Only God can see this adoration, yet we must repeat this until it becomes part of our nature! It will be as if God is one with our soul and our soul is one with God!
2) Come to adore God in Truth is to recognize Him for what He is and then ourselves for what we are... Adoring God in Truth means that our hearts actually see God as infinitely perfect and worthy of our praise. What man, no matter how little sense he may have, would not exert all his strength to show his and love of this great God?
3) To adore God in Truth is to admit that our nature is just the opposite of His. Yet, He is willing to make to make us like Him, if we desire it. Who would be so rash as to neglect, even for a moment, the respect, love, service and the continual adoration that we owe Him?
{ Each person's destiny is to Glorify God then to enjoy Him forever! }

More isn't always necessary!
More isn’t enough!
If we look at where most of the worlds, problems and grief come from, one emotion would be paramount; the want for more! It drives business, advertising, government, sports, politics, and even our everyday life!
The desire for improvement is built into our physic-nature by God when we were born… It was designed to allow us to seek better things in our life! The problem comes when we become Greedy and driven by the desires to have even More!
This all started Adam & Eve in the Garden of Eden; when they listened to the Devil, tell them that what they needed was more, and they fell for it! But more what?
What could the Devil promise them or get for them? They lived in Paradise, perfect weather, no storms, just right temperature, food available for the taking as much as they wanted… Did not have to worry about cloths or shoes, or money, or riches, or houses, or any of the stuff we worry about or deal with! There were not any of those things that impact our life today!
They did not have sin to deal with, because there was no one to commit sexual sin with, or to steal from, or to gossip about! There was no disease, or natural catastrophe! i.e. they had everything they needed!
So how did the Devil temp them into wanting more?
With a lie! All the Devil could offer was the lie that they needed to disobey God and eat from the “Tree of Knowledge of Good & Evil” There was this desire for more when they actually had everything needed for a perfect life… They existed in almost a state of innocence as children, yet they had the ability and freedom to choose!
They were offered more! They were told that to eat of the tree, would not cause death {a major lie} and they would be like unto God, with knowledge of right and wrong! What they did not realize was that what they were far better off before they before eating the apple or the disobedience to God!
Thus by believing a lie from Satan {the Father of lies} they entered into this present human existence full of woes! All of this happened because of the choice to believe a lie and seek gain more!
This has been the story of humanity throughout history, the drive to get more… Greed! Which causes people when left without any boundaries or limits toward wars, disease, suffering, pain, grief and countless misery!
All because of the desire for more without any consideration for the consequences! More is not enough! Find The Faith of God in your life!

Save the US economy
When Mitt Romney said “corporations are people,” the Leftist Democrat Dominionists went crazy. How could he make such an absurd statement? How can an impersonal gigantic corporation be a person? For the simple reason that a corporation is “group of people authorized to act as a single entity (legally a person) and recognized as such in law.”
Not only are those on the Left out of touch with the Constitution, they are completely ignorant of economics and the way a business operates.
Corporations are owned by lots of individuals. If you are invested in a mutual fund, then you are a part owner in a number of corporations. The corporation acts as a single person in all legal transactions, but it is potentially owned by millions of people in the form of stock.
When Leftist Democrat Dominionists want corporations to pay more taxes, they foolishly are asking the government to raise their own taxes because corporations don’t pay any taxes. Taxes are considered an expense similar to what a company pays for utilities, fuel, raw materials, research and development, travel, and everything else it spends to do business. Every expense is calculated and added to the price of the things a corporation sells. Anyone who buys what a corporation sells is indirectly paying the corporation’s tax bill and all its other expenses, including the salaries of its employees.
To show you that liberals don’t understand any of this, read the following:
Further proving that [Rick Perry] cares more about corporations than people, and that he believes in the foolish theory of ‘trickle-down’ economics, Texas Governor Rick Perry went on record today saying that a 35% tax rate on corporations (which most of them don’t even pay) is too high, and that we should lower it to zero percent in order to get them to start creating jobs.
If the nut job who wrote this is invested in any large business, he is asking the government to raise his taxes. It’s true that General Electric did not pay any corporate taxes last year, but it’s an exception. In the end, however, the people who own GE stock and those who purchase GE products are the beneficiaries.If the corporate tax were eliminated, prices for nearly everything would drop. A liberal, however, would argue that the corporations would only keep the windfall for themselves. With the tax rate down for all corporations, companies would still be in a competitive market place. With lower costs, some companies would begin to lower prices in order to get an advantage over bigger competitors. This would force competitors to lower their prices in order not to lose market share.
The above critic of Perry’s zero corporate tax rate policy added this: “Somalia has a zero percent tax rate AND no government. How’s that working out for them?” Here are the facts on Somalia’s tax rates:
Direct taxes are imposed on income and profits, when officials can collect them. In 1986, tax rates on wages and salaries ranged from 0% to 18.9%. Income from trade and the professions was taxed at rates of up to 35%. Indirect taxes are imposed on imports, exports, mortgages, vehicle registration, sugar, alcohol, and a number of other goods and services. In 2003, Somolia’s sales tax rate was 10%.
Somalia has been involved in a civil war since 1991. It’s one of the most violent nations in the world. Prior to its current dismal state, Somalia was ruled by Communists and later by something called the Somali Revolutionary Socialist Party (SRSP), a one-party government based on “scientific socialism,” kind of what liberals want for the United States.President Obama wants another “stimulus” for his already failed first shovel-ready project. By permanently eliminating the corporate tax would, there would be an immediate impact on the economy, the stock market would sky rocket, and the dollar would rebound. But if this happened, then thee wouldn’t be a need for so much government, and this is one thing Democrats can’t allow.

Bond Servant
Submissive!
Submissive:
means to show faith and trust in the person (s) you are submissive to!
It is an accepted position which is done in reverence and love!
Unfortunately it has been a means for those who tend to be controllers or think they are in control to exert their will on others… This is not and was never the real purpose for personal submission!
The best we can hope to be here on this earth is to be considered “Good and Faithful Servants”; as found in the Book of Life, in the last day when we stand before the judgement seat of Christ! ** There is more to be discussed on this aspect of the judgement seat, which will be covered in another blog!
Many people have the wrong view of God as a “Big Boss’, which He is not! Almighty God has given each of us a free agency with which to choose what we will do or not! So many have been erroneously taught that God is a over bearing Boss… Which is totally false!
Most religions {BTW:Religions were invented by men, not God} teach of a overbearing controlling God, who watches your every action! They try to blame God for everything, saying “Why did God let this happen?”
We each were given a free agency and a God given intelligence to decide what we will do! Therefore when these things that happen in our lives, you will notice that what it was is the result of a person’s decision or choice! Now I know no one wants to take responsibility or credit for the screw ups in life, never the less except for a few natural disasters or accidents, we are at fault!
Therefore God is not a “Big Boss Buddy” who micromanages every bodies life; rather He allows us to fail our-self! Yes, you have the freedom to fail! Bet you have not heard that before?
If God micromanaged every one’s life, then He would not need any Judgment Bar since He would have perfect trained robots, who did His every want and will.. HUH!
So when you get around to blaming God for whatever just remember it ain’t His Fault! He did not do it, either we or you did! Sorry to bust your bubble, but the blame game will not work in Heaven!
Therefore when you elect to become submissive to God, you do so by choice and that is by Faith, and Trust! Which is what He really wants from us {you}!
Can you get this through your skull? Forget your religious teaching!
Submissiveness is actually an allegiance or homage in the form of a loving trust and election or choice! It is not about any Master – Slave thing!
It is a act of love and concern; based upon the desire of a person to submit and become a “Bond Servant“! So if and when you are submissive toward another person is is out of Faith, Hope and Charity (Love); only!
Read and study the role of a “Bond Servant in Ancient Israel; then just maybe you will see the dedication plus the Love, Faith and Trust! The prime example of a true Friend / neighbor!
There is no deeper love or devotion here on earth!
Read:
Deuteronomy 15: 15 thru 18 & Psalm 40: 6 – 8 NKJV!
** If you need more help reply, your devoted servant!

August 10, 2011Using Price Theory to Reform Overregulated America
In 1787, there were four federal crimes. Now there are over 4,000. The Code of Federal Regulations runs over 157,000 pages. America is overlawyered and overregulated, and the economy is suffering for it, say Ryan Young and Jacqueline Otto of the Competitive Enterprise Institute.Congressmen from both parties recognize this. But reform eludes them. Economics has just the tool for identifying such reforms: price theory. Price theory says when something is cheap, it tends to be abundant. But when that something becomes expensive, demand goes down.
- Right now, the "price" of passing a law or regulation is relatively cheap, but the "price" of repealing a law is steep.
- In an average year, Congress will pass about 200 bills and agencies will enact over 3,500 regulations, and each one is viewed as an accomplishment to be touted in front of cameras and microphones.
- Repeal is much more politically expensive -- almost every program and regulation has its vocal defenders.
Short of that, the House and Senate could establish repeal committees. These committees would be unable to pass laws and regulations, only to repeal them. Another option is to add an automatic sunset provision to all new regulations -- meaning that they would expire after, say, five years unless specifically reauthorized by Congress.
If Congress and agencies want to pass more sweeping new regulations, the political price they pay should be in line with the economic price that we all pay for them, say Young and Otto.
