Biblical Commentary #2 – 100 Days of SHAME!

100 Days of SHAME!

 

“O Lord, to us belongs SHAME of face, to our kings, our princes, and our fathers, because we have sinned against You.” (Dan 9:8)

 

“Then I would not be ASHAMED,

When I look into all Your commandments.” (Ps 119:6)

 

“Let the proud be ASHAMED” (Ps 119:78a)

 

“HORROR has taken hold of me because of the wicked that forsake Your law.” (Ps 119:53)

 

 

While much of the country “celebrates” the anniversary of President Obama’s first 100 days, Christians should be hanging our heads in SHAME!

 

Question:

“What do we have to be ‘ashamed’ of?  We personally have not done all this wickedness.  The President and his administration are caring out this EVIL, not us!”

 

Answer:

As members of the American family we are guilty of participating in the election of a narcissistic, slick and wicked man to be our leader.  As Christians we voted for him, helped him and cheered him on.  SHAME on us!  We are members of a nation which is increasingly hostile to God and His Ways.

 

Also, today we stand by silently and passively watching this image and ego-obsessed man, his appointees and Congress dismantle and destroy the foundations of this precious country which the God of the Bible gave us. 

 

Question:

 “So, what can we do about it?”

 

Answer:

As Americans and Christians we can be very, very ASHAMED.  As Christians we can REPENT and stand up for Truth, Righteousness and Justice; and we can Pray! 

 

“Who will rise up for me against the evildoers?

Who will stand up for me against the workers of iniquity?” Ps 94:16

 

Please join me in PRAYER:

“Lord, we are ASHAMED that we have gone so far astray.  We have rebelled.  Please give us the gift of godly sorrow and REPENTANCE (2 Cor 7:10).  Open our eyes, please. 

“Also, Lord, please interrupt and terminate any and all plans our government has which defy You and Your Ways. 

“Save us, Lord!”

“Save now, I pray, O LORD” Ps 118:25

 

In Jesus’ Name,

Harry Valentine

The “Hostile Takeover” of America - Part II: Government as savior/Obama as savior/TYRANNY

The “Hostile Takeover” of America

Hostility toward God is evident in our culture. Our nation is ruled by people, and by a culture, that hates and rejects the God of the Bible

They HATE LIFE: All those who hate Me love death. (Prov 8:36b)

They desire POWER: The kings of the earth set themselves, And the rulers take counsel together, Against the LORD (Ps 2:1-2a)

They HATE TRUTH: They will turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to fables. (2Tim 4:4) [and see Rom 1:25] 

[T]he sinful mind is hostile to God. (Rom 8:7a); The wicked watches the righteous, And seeks to slay him. (Ps 37:32); Why do wicked people renounce God? They say in their hearts, ‘God will not require an account.’ (Ps 10:13 paraphrase)

Part II: The “Hostile Takeover” of America

Government as savior/Obama as savior/TYRANNY

"You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their high officials exercise authority over them.” Matt 20:25

 “But when a wicked man rules, the people groan.” Prov 29:2

 A ruler who lacks understanding is a great oppressor” Prov 28:16

 “When the wicked arise, men hide themselves” Prov 28:28

Other examples of “Hostility toward God

Media Helps Activists in Aggressive Push to Embrace Homosexuality by Colleen Raezler

“Perez Hilton, a gay celebrity blogger and a judge at the April 19 Miss USA pageant … asked Prejean's opinion on gay marriage. She stated her belief that ‘a marriage should be between a man and a woman.’”

“…she gave the worst answer in pageant history…She lost…because she's a dumb___Okay? This is how a person with half a brain answers the question I posed her.”

“The media failed to cry foul over Hilton's attack on Prejean and instead allowed Hilton to portray himself as a victim
 
'God was testing my faith,' says Miss California after Perez Hilton calls her a 'dumb -----' in gay marriage row by Mail Foreign Service

“‘By having to answer that question in front of a national audience, God was testing my character and faith.”

Miss California: I stand by gay marriage remark by Michael Inbar

“‘She’s a Christian, but I don’t want her talking about Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, because that’s offensive…’” Hilton stated

Group Rejects White House 'Explanation' for Banning Faith at Georgetown Speech by Bishop Council Nedd

“Earlier this week White House officials demanded that a cross and the religious abbreviation ‘HIS’ in Georgetown's Gaston Hall be covered up before the President delivered a speech on the economy…”

“The scandal at Georgetown is just the latest attack on faith in American public life.”

Christian Defense Coalition Appalled and Stunned that President Obama Asks for Christian Faith Symbol to be Covered During Georgetown University Speech by Rev. Patrick J. Mahoney

“The fact that the Obama White House would ask a Catholic University to cover up a sacred symbol of Jesus to provide a better backdrop for his speech shows that President Obama has no understanding or respect for sacred expressions of faith.”
 
The Tea Party Movement

Obama And The Left’s Real Concern About The Tea Party Movementby Ken Taylor

“The MSM and cable news, other than Fox, went out of their way to degrade, insult and create a picture of the Tea Parties as gatherings of,‘white racists,’ and brainless extremists

 “The left in their degrading of the Tea Parties have shown their actual concern over the protests... The Tea Parties are a grass roots movement of everyday Americans who for the most part embrace the more conservative values.”

“This is actually a long overdue stand by everyday Americans who are fed up with big government, excessive spending, massive deficits…”

Right-Wing Extremism

The Vet 'Threat'

“In this administration's published opinion, those who've served in our military are a menace to society and the state. And DHS's racist, bigoted implication is that the only danger comes from white, Christian vets (there's not a whisper about minority violence).”

“The report warns that ‘the return of military veterans facing significant challenges reintegrating into their communities could lead to the potential emergence of terrorist groups or lone wolf extremists . . . carrying out violent acts.’”

“And the real and present danger from Islamist fanatics resident in our country goes unmentioned -- even though there's plenty of data on that threat…”

We're the threat to our fellow citizens. You and me.”

Exclusive: Federal Lawsuit Filed Over DHS ‘Rightwing Extremist’ Report by Richard Thompson      

“The Thomas More Law Center… announced last week that it filed a federal lawsuit against Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano.” 

“The lawsuit claims that her Department’s ‘Rightwing Extremism Policy,’ as reflected in the [recent report]… violates the civil liberties of combat veterans as well as American citizens by targeting them for disfavored treatment on account of their political beliefs.”

 “The Obama Administration has declared war on American patriots and our Constitution.”

DHS report on “right-wing extremism by Ed Morrissey

“The Department of Homeland Security is warning law enforcement officials about a rise in ‘rightwing extremist activity,’ saying the economic recession, the election of America’s first black president and the return of a few disgruntled war veterans could swell the ranks of white-power militias.”

“A footnote attached to the report by the Homeland Security Office of Intelligence and Analysis defines ‘rightwing extremism in the United States’ as including not just racist or hate groups, but also groups that reject federal authority in favor of state or local authority.”

“‘It may include groups and individuals that are dedicated to a single-issue, such as opposition to abortion or immigration,’ the warning says.”

The Obama We Knew But Denied by Kyle-Anne Shiver

 

“The man who is now president, Barack Obama, is precisely the man…whose spiritual mentor for 2 decades, Jeremiah Wright, denounced ‘white folks greed’ running  ‘a world in need’… whose political mentor, Saul Alinsky, advised the use of any and all means necessary to take power in America…whose most influential and moneyed backer was George Soros, the Fabian socialist… who declared that bankrupting the coal industry would be the natural and desired result of his environmental policies, that his Global Poverty Act would bring ‘collective redemption’ to an America presiding over an unfair world and that dismantling our defenses would make the world more safe.”

 

“Anyone still harboring the illusion that President Barack Obama cares one whit about the millions of Americans whose retirement funds and futures dwindle with each passing day of this ‘regime change’ needs a reality check.”

 

“The sad truth is that Barack Obama and his cabal of international socialists have every intention of bursting the bubble of American supremacy.  They see America as the lynchpin of a global situation they deplore, a world that is inherently unfair.  A world in which there is no genuine evil, only valid grievances for past oppression.” 

 

A Suboptimal Showing Abroad and At Home by Armstrong Williams

“[Obama] holds Americans and the Constitution in utter contempt.”

“Does he not know of the history of arms control cheating by closed and despotic nations, like the Soviet Union, Iran, Syria, North Korea, Libya, Iraq, and otherwise. Does he not know that the elimination of nuclear weapons immediately strengthens nations with massive land armies like China’s People’s Liberation Army?”

“Mr. Obama’s national security follies are matched by his contempt for the Constitution which he is pledged to defend and support.”

 

“He has claimed Czar-like powers to detain indefinitely both citizens and non-citizens without accusation or trial or access to courts on his say-so alone

 

“He has enlisted 800,000 state and local law enforcement officers to spy on Americans under the beguiling umbrella as ‘fusion centers,’ while the murder clearance rate remains a dismal 61%.”

 

Somebody Please Say, 'April Fools!' IBD Editorial

“Today, we have the least capable, least accomplished people in the country… seizing control of the private sector in ways that appear to be a violation of the spirit, if not the letter, of the U.S. Constitution…And we, the people, are letting them do it. Where's the outrage?”

Ruling By A Radical by Melanie Phillips

“President Obama launched Organizing for America…such use of community organizations also follows to the letter the template for social revolution laid down by Saul Alinsky, the Marxist ideologue and activist who set out in his book Rules for Radicals how capitalism would be overthrown by the mobilization of the masses and the whipping up of their discontent...”

“‘Alinsky’s thinking permeates ACORN and other community groups that in the past were associated with or funded by Obama, and which push an agenda that is as coercive and corrupt as it is seditious.”

“There was also his deeply troubling suggestion during his presidential campaign … of creating a civilian national security force that would be as powerful, strong and well-funded as the half-trillion dollar Army, Marines, Navy and Air Force” (For more on this – check out the articles below on the GIVE and SERVE acts.) 
 

Obama's Ultimate Agenda  by Charles Krauthammer

“Obama has far different ambitions. His goal is to rewrite the American social compact, to recast the relationship between government and citizen. He wants government to narrow the nation's income and anxiety gaps. Soak the rich for reasons of revenue and justice. Nationalize health care and federalize education to grant all citizens of all classes the freedom from anxiety about health care and college that the rich enjoy. And fund this vast new social safety net through the cash cow of a disguised carbon tax.”

“Obama is a leveler. He has come to narrow the divide between rich and poor. For him the ultimate social value is fairness. Imposing it upon the American social order is his mission.”

Biblical Commentary #1 - "Go Tell That Fox"

"Go Tell That Fox"
 
        Jesus said, "Go tell that fox..."  (Luke 13: 32a)
 
Responding to the wicked Pharisees' admonition about the TYRANT Herod, Jesus called him a "fox".
 
The Jews used the metaphor of a "fox" to mean "worthless and sly".
 
According to the foremost devotional Biblical commentator Matthew Henry, tyrants like Herod are fox-like because they are "noted for their craft, treachery and baseness". 
 
Doesn't this description fit our would-be TYRANT, President Obama?

When we apply it to Obama's determination to destroy his critics in the pro-life movement and talk radio, his behavior is "fox-like" and as reprehensible as Herod's. 
 
Possible Prayers:
  • That the President's crafty and treacherous nature and plans will be exposed and thwarted (Jn 3:20-31);
  • That he and his family will be met by God, repent and turn from their wicked ways (2 Chron 7:14).
In Jesus’ Name,

The “Hostile Takeover” of America

The “Hostile Takeover” of America

Dear Pray-ers:

This week we will be sending out Part I of our new series: “The ‘Hostile Takeover’ of America”. Part I concentrates on Government as savior/Obama as savior/TYRANNY.

It is of PARAMOUNT importance that we remain vigilant and informed. Too often, our reaction to the upsetting news flowing out of Washington is to turn away, to become overwhelmed, or to feel helpless. As scripture exhorts us, “let us not grow weary while doing good”; let us continue to PRAY! 


We must pray for our NATION; for our LEADERS (especially, that they will come to the knowledge of the Truth, and be saved!); for REVIVAL in our land; and PRAY for WISDOM about how to respond.

 

Also, we want to draw your attention to some opportunities to RESIST what is happening in our government:

 

“The ‘Tax Day Tea Party’ is nationally sponsored by Top Conservatives’”1.   On April 15th, all across our nation, concerned citizens are gathering together to protest against ‘big government’ and ‘complete disregard for taxpayers’2. Consider joining together to let politicians ‘know we are not happy and want a change of course’. 

 

You can also find out more here: The New Tea Party and Revolution [this site provides a list of events by state, city and date, as well as more information about the movement]. 

 

Therefore, I implore you to read and consider the materials we will be sharing with you. The articles and columns will illuminate what is often overlooked or suppressed in the mainstream media.  As we shared in the series introduction, the underlining cause of all of this is Hostility toward God. Our nation is ruled by people, and by a culture, that hates and rejects the God of the Bible

Finally, as we have just celebrated the triumphant resurrection of our Lord and Savior, may we stand amazed at God’s Love and Mercy and be undone before Him, and may our hearts be broken for those who have not been reached by the Glorious Good News of the Cross

In Jesus’ Name,

Harry Valentine, Capitol Hill Prayer Alert (CHPA), Founder/Publisher

NEW SERIES!! The “Hostile Takeover” of America

 We are embarking on a series which will examine several of the wicked things being championed in our Government. Topics we plan to cover include Tyranny, Abortion and Disregard for Life, Silencing of Dissent, and the Appeasement of our Enemies, among others. 

The underlining cause of all of this is Hostility toward God. Our nation is ruled by people, and by a culture, that hates and rejects the God of the Bible

Consider the following:

They HATE LIFE because we are created in the image of God

All those who hate Me love death. (Prov 8:36b)

They desire POWER and to be their own ‘gods’

The kings of the earth set themselves, And the rulers take counsel together, Against the LORD (Ps 2:1-2a)

They HATE TRUTH, and have exchanged the truth for a lie

They will turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to fables. (2Tim 4:4) [and see Rom 1:25]

 

Also scripture tells us:

[T]he sinful mind is hostile to God. (Rom 8:7a) 

The wicked watches the righteous, And seeks to slay him. (Ps 37:32) 

Why do wicked people renounce God? They say in their hearts, ‘God will not require an account.’ (Ps 10:13 paraphrase)

We have come across articles which you may not have seen, and which we hope will be beneficial to you. We have highlighted and excerpted some of the main point(s) and have provided links to the entire articles for your use. 

The first installment of the series will be sent next week, and is entitled:

Part I: Government as savior/Obama as savior/TYRANNY
