RAISING THE U.S. DEBT CEILING AGAIN…AND AGAIN…AND AGAIN [PREPARING FOR GREAT TRIBULATION 05]

By Marc on Thursday, July 28th, 2011 | No Comments

Saints, Let’s be clear: I’m not a Republican or Democrat. I don’t even vote for poli-trick-cans. But this response by Paul Brown from NE Georgia regarding the debt ceiling snafu did catch my eye. Of course, he’ll lose this fight (and the debt war to the globalists), the debt ceiling will be raised, and America will continue it’s escalating ride down the rapids to its financial Niagara Falls. But I do like Paul’s expressed no-way-José conviction, its dose of reality, and calling a spade a spade. Don’t you? Again, I’m not weighing in on the debate other than to say shouldn’t we all try to make wise choices, live within our means, and make every effort to incur zero debt when already bankrupt?

$60 TRILLION: THE REAL NATIONAL DEBT IN AMERICA [PREPARING FOR GREAT TRIBULATION 2]

Brethren, Can you believe it? Recently, I read in the USA Today an article by a national “expert” economist that said she felt the American national debt was not a problem. Not a problem? If you or I lived way far in-the-stratosphere beyond our means for 40 years, what happens? What if we kept two sets of books and told the IRS in an audit that we used the set of books that underestimated our income by 600%? And very recently, the real national debt of $60,000,000,000,000 (trillion) made the front page of the news for the very first time: so we guess the government has planned something significant for its populace since it no longer fears any retribution from the citizens that allowed it to bankrupt them! Not a pretty scene. So, the invincible US government in their infinite wisdom has been a liar to the people who it [...]

THE PECULIAR BLESSINGS OF POVERTY [AT THE BATTLE FRONT 22]

By Marc on Monday, July 9th, 2007 | No Comments

Dear brethren, When I was first saved in 1987, I noticed that at least one sincere question asked of others in the faith could raise their eyebrows, get them often to pass the buck, and/or just plain cause them to slink away. The question was: Why does the Bible and most of Christian history show us that selling our possessions and helping the less fortunate is being obedient to Jesus? I’ve been collecting ideas and articles for years on this. If you have any that are provoking and need to be distributed, please send them to me. Here’s one from one of the Body’s bestselling authors, and I’ve gone back to it many times as I strive with the Holy Spirit’s power to be an overcomer (a victor) in this area of temptation. +++ The Peculiar Blessings of Poverty – by Philip Yancey (used by permission from Christianity Today, prior [...]
