GENETICS


By Jim Towers

We all have a tendency to ignore God, it’s in our genetic makeup. From the time when Adam and Eve sinned, they passed that tendency on to us through their genes. Sin is now in our genetic makeup too. That’s why the bible says, “There is none righteous- no not one, for all have sinned and come short of the glory of God”..…We just can’t help ourselves.

Did you know for instance that the two most famous heroes in the bible also had that gene? Moses killed a man and had a temper and King David also killed a man and took his wife.

Yet both men were eventually forgiven by God. We too can have that same forgiveness by calling out to God in the face of Jesus Christ. 

David is later referred to as “A man after God’s own heart.”

NOTE:

I am in the process of making a Christian film, one in which justice prevails and the Word of God is heard. 

Our hero is a God-fearing man and patriot, a principled man who does the right thing.

Scripture will be utilized at every opportunity throughout – no more pussy footing around. 

In this film our once great Christian Nation will be spoon fed God’s Word. We have strayed too far to the left where now the worship of Satan is permissible and tax exempt while God and Christ have been taken from most of our institutions. We must be bold – as the hero of this film is bold.

It’s not enough for us to know and sermonize and hide behind church walls, we must either take a stand or suffer the consequences of political correctness and/or apathy. Below is just one of the scenes (Opening scene) where scripture will be heard.

FADE IN:

EXT. MIAMI MEAN STREETS – DAY/NIGHT

Miami is being overrun thugs, prostitutes, pimps and drug dealers. Meanwhile, in Afghanistan,

EXT. AFGHANISTAN MOUNTAIN RANGE- DAY

Far away in Afghanistan, a handsome and well-built thirty-three-year-old U.S. Special Forces Captain is leading his 12 men through a mountainous area in an assault on the Taliban. 

Martin and his men are mounted on HORSES.  A GRENADE comes hurtling through the air and lands into the midst of him and his men who have now dismounted behind a huge boulder. Without taking a second thought he throws himself upon the grenade – which explodes and Martin’s body flies in the air. (Martin happens to be wearing body armor.)

The screen goes to black but soon a speck of light is seen in the distance and it enlarges as Martin is drawn toward it like a piece of steel to a magnet. 

As he approaches the light a deep and ominous VOICE in the distance calls out….

VOICE

                                    Martin,…Martin….

MARTIN

                                    I don’t want to die….I have yet to marry and have a son…

VOICE

                                    You will not die,….You shall live to help fight the evil that 

has taken over the earth.

A FRENZIED battle continues as Martin fights for his life lying prostrate on the ground. His men prevail and soon a Medi Vac chopper lands and he is airlifted to safety.

INT. ARMY HOSPITAL – DAY

In the hospital, a MILITARY CLERGYMAN stands over Martins body which is encased in bandages from head to foot, saying,

MILITARY CLERGYMAN

                                    “No greater love has man than this, that he lay down his 

Life for his friends.”

And a sheet is pulled over Martin’s head.

At this. Martin lifts his hand and an ASSISTANT hollers, 

ASSISTANT

                                    He’s alive!…The man’s ALIVE!

CUT:

If any one of my readers wants to help with this critical and timely endeavor, please contact me a jt.filmmaker@yahoo.com. for more information and how you can become involved.

The day is darkening, and soon we may not have the opportunity to share the Word of God with others.

APOSTASY


By Jim Towers

Apostacy is happening in every denomination now. No church is exempt from this end times phenomenon. This clearly shows that the time of the rapture is near. As Jesus said, “When you see these things begin to happen you can know my return is at the very door.” 

The quasi Christian Catholic church is topsy – turvy with false doctrine and always was, but today the pope is taking it a step further with wanting to incorporate Islam and all other “faiths into a worldwide religion – just as the scriptures predicted would happen in the end times.  

Protestant leaders are also failing to address the issue of sound doctrine and because of this, many churches are going astray. The words of the bible are being watered down and many don’t even subscribe to its final authority anymore. “A house built on sand cannot endure” and that goes for churches as well.

Today’s Christian church is mostly based on personality and charisma of the leaders and /or the so-called worship band. But it’s all smoke and mirrors (literally) – accompanied by strobe lights.

Meanwhile, corruption abides on the inside of the church like a raging cancer, while on the outside atheists and agnostic perverts are beating war drums to destroy the Christian faith.

In the secular world, many incarcerated criminals are what is called “institutionalized” – they do everything by rote; like a zombie they eat, exercise and sleep at regimented hours of the day. And so, it is the same old- same old for many Christians going through a regimented life. Far too many Christians have been “institutionalized”, which is to say they live and thrive within the walls of the church building but are afraid of engaging secular society to bring others into the faith, and when they do it is only to make a name for themselves, that they might be seen by men. 

Many leaders have a degree, albeit our savior Christ Jesus worked as a carpenter and never held a theological degree, and neither did his disciples – save one – Paul. Those with degrees are looked upon with great favor, but the so-called Christian Universities have lost their moorings, and some just go there to fornicate to become indoctrinated with false teaching.

What Jesus and his other followers did have was the Holy Spirit – who leads into all truth. “But the anointing that you have received from Him abides in you, and you do not need that anyone should teach you; but as the same anointing teaches you all things, and is true and is not a lie; and just as it has taught you, you will abide in Him.”

In my forty years of church attendance I have seen firsthand the many atrocities committed in the Christian church, blasphemy, self-aggrandizement, harlotry, adultery, course joking and lying.

The first one was a church in which the pastor and the music leader were making evil jokes about Jews. Being a young Christian I thought that all Christians were sincere and true to the faith, especially pastors. Broken, I left and never went back.

Next, I attended a Calvary Chapel church for several years before it was found that the pastor was fornicating with several women in the congregation. After he was ousted, the former pastor went on to other things saying that he felt he had “another church” in him. So, he may strike again. Later, I went back to see how the others were faring and they were attending a program on how to invest your money in the kingdom of God! (Did you ever notice how the “pastors wear their shirts outside their pants over their pot bellies and prefer to sit on a bar stool while preaching or teaching?) While there is nothing wrong with that – they have made it a contrived routine in hopes of identifying with the clueless masses.

Speaking for myself, I am presently looking for a good bible believing church once again, since my pastor has just resigned after 27 years of pastoring the same church. In this unfriendly church he was the only one to talk to me sincerely and hug me back, all other self – absorbed leaders looked away. (These same people wanted to oust Chuck Colson of all people when he was still alive. They didn’t like the fact that he had taken the limelight away from them, although they did nothing to deserve it.) As a result of being hypocritical and hateful the book of Luke 12:47 says, “…and those who knew their masters will and did not abide in it will receive many stripes….”. I hope you’re not one of those. 

With my church dissolving, I find myself looking for a new church home knowing that I won’t find a perfect one. 

If you, like me are having to look for a good church “home” them make sure you ask to see their doctrinal statement and check out the congregation carefully. Does it jibe with what is written in scripture? Is Jesus the focal point of their doctrine? Is salvation by faith alone taught? Do they teach from the bible? Do they have bible classes that utilize the bible and not man – made ideas and philosophies? The church should not baptize infants. Remember, too that Allah the Moon god is not the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob (the one true God). Are the church leaders friendly? Is the unadulterated Gospel preached? Do they have an altar call? 

If you answered no to any one of these questions, then they are not teaching the truth but a doctrine of demons. “Now the Spirit speaks expressly that in the last days some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits and doctrines of demons.” Also, “Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of devils: ye cannot be partakers of the Lord’s table, and of the table of devils” – 1 Cor 10:21.

Whatever you do – Do Not believe Jehovah’s Witnesses man-made teaching of having to earn your salvation. The same can be said for Mormons or Catholics or any other man-made cult. 

No, we won’t find a perfect church nor person, but we can strive to be all that God wants US to be by adhering to the written word of God – the Bible.

Once you receive Jesus into your heart and life you will be able – through the Holy Spirit – to make sense of Forgiveness of Sin -Salvation and Eternal life – but only as you read and study biblical scripture.

Security

The Basis of our Eternal Security

1) Upon His Sovereign Purpose

Eternal purpose declared: Eph 1:11-12. This eternal purpose is anchored within the veil, confirmed by an oath: Heb 6:17-20.

2) Upon His Solemn Promise

Our salvation depends upon His promise, and not our faithfulness: Rom 4:16: Therefore, it is of faith [nothing on man’s part], that it might be by grace [everything on God’s part]; to the end the promise might be sure… 

If it depended at any point upon human ability to continue to believe, then the promise could not be secure. The promise that those who believe will be saved is confirmed everywhere: Gen 15:6; Jn 3:16; Acts 16:33; Rom 4:23-24, et al.)

3) Upon His Infinite Power

He is free to save us. Christ’s death has rendered God free to save us in spite of moral imperfection. Our eternal security does not depend upon our moral worthiness. Christ is the propitiation for our sins (1 Jn 2:2).

(To assume that there is some sin which is sufficiently serious to cause us to forfeit our salvation is to assume that we were less worthy of salvation after having committed this sin than before, and it reduces salvation down to human ability to merit it.)

He has purposed to keep us saved:

All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out. For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me. And this is the Father’s will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day. And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.

John 6:37-40

And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father’s hand.

John 10:28, 29

“Shall never” is a double negative in the Greek, a form which is especially emphatic.

Note: There are two hands involved! I have searched the original texts; I cannot find “Whoops!” (no one has ever called God “Butterfingers”).

Some suggest that we, ourselves, can yet snatch ourselves out of the Father’s hand. What kind of security is it that offers no security against our own weaknesses? (Jn 5:24).

4) Upon His “Much More” Love

His intent is love based: Cf. Rom 5:6-10. God knew when He saved us that we were totally depraved, and therefore any new manifestation of sin in our lives after our conversion cannot be any motivation to God to change His mind and withdraw His grace and His salvation. Cf. Rom 11:29; Rom 8:32, 38-39. 

He saved us for reasons independent of us and outside of us. He was motivated by His electing love, and not by observation of good in the sinner. We will explore that in our next session we review, Romans 9:10-13.

5) Upon His Answer to the Prayer of His Son

We, as believers, are called many things in Scripture: saints, believers, elect, sheep, partakers, etc. But the title most dear to the heart of Christ is repeated seven times in His high priestly prayer (Jn 17): “those whom

thou hast given me.” (Cf. Jn 17:11-12). Jesus prays that we will be kept from hell (17:15); and will be with Him in heaven (17:20, 24). [This keeping is from perishing, not necessarily all forms of inheritance.]

 I believe that the Father always answers the prayers of the Son (Jn 11:42).

A Chain of Five Links: Romans 8:29-30

God’s sovereign purpose is exemplified in these two verses:

29] For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.

30] Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified.

This eternal choice and foreknowledge involves more than establishing a relationship between God and believers—it involves the certainty of our sanctification! Those God foreknew He also predestined to be conformed to the likeness of His Son (Rom 8:29).

1) Foreknow: prior choice, as well as advance knowledge (Amos 3:2): a personal, loving, and intimate prior choice. The process starts with foreknowledge. The entire group is brought into God’s eternal plan by divine foreknowledge and choice is predestined, “predetermined.”

2) Predestinate: simply planned in advance. Eph 1:4-6 adds insight…

3) Called: referred to here is the efficacious call to come to Him. Jesus said, “My sheep hear my voice and they follow Me” (Jn 10:27-30).This is an effectual calling: all that are justified will be glorified (Rom8:23).

4) Justified: declared righteous (Rom 5:1; Cf. Rom 3:24, 28; 4:2; 5:1, 9).

5) Glorified: “Glorified” is another way of saying that God’s children will be “conformed” to His Son; and that is God’s ultimate “purpose.”No longer will they “fall short of the glory of God” (Rom 3:23). In theprocess not a single person is lost.

These are five unbreakable links: “Those…he also”: This is a clear statement of the eternal security of the saints.

The resurrected and glorified Lord Jesus Christ will become the Head of a new race of humanity, purified from all contact with sin and prepared to live eternally in His presence: cf. 1 Cor 15:42-49 (which precedes the rapture passage!).

Between the start and finish of God’s plan are indispensable steps:

1) being called (cf. Rom 1:6; 8:28),

2) being justified(cf. Rom 3:24, 28; 4:2; 5:1, 9), and

3) being glorified(cf. Rom 8:17; Col 1:27; 3:4).

…and in the process not a single person is lost. God completes His plan without any slippage or shrinkage of inventory! Precisely the same number of men are called, justified, and glorified.

AN OPEN LETTER TO PRESIDENT TRUMP


By Jim Towers

Since I’m not a Democrat, this is not a mindless rant but a heartfelt expression that many of us patriots feel to be true.  We conservatives used to be called the silent majority; but we now know that it doesn’t pay to be silent. In being silent we let the forces of evil try to take over our Christian Nation. We can afford to be silent no more.

First, sir, I want to thank you for hanging in there when the chips are down. I know that you don’t really need the job and have no other interest other than preserving ours and your nation. You are just the leader we needed at a time when our country was in free fall – owing to the widespread corruption that existed in Government before you stepped in.

Thank God that Hillary didn’t win the election, it would have been more of the same with no end in sight. Her only aim was to be in power to continue exploiting our good nation for monetary gain. Worse than that she would have let her partners in crime continue to prosper as well – at the cost and peril of our nation. This, to say nothing of the mysterious deaths of all those who would expose her criminality.

Also, with a Muslim in power, (Obama) who did all he could to destroy our nation you stepped in at just the right time. After bowing to all others who were in power in many Muslim nations this treasonous  man joined with them in an attempt to undermine the USA and our standing in the world; he even had them coming and going at the white house at all hours of the day and night probably making plans for our demise and worshiping Allah. 

Although there is nothing wrong with having “friends” these were our sworn enemies. One can’t help in believing that there was a dark conspiracy being hatched at most if not all the meetings, but by the grace of God we were spared more terrorist attacks.

It is surprising that liberals and Radical Muslims hate us so much after all we’ve done for them and continue doing for them despite their treasonous behavior. These folks have a hate for the country that made it possible for them to prosper and be educated without restraint or government interference. Americans died to preserve our freedoms and they spit in the face of these valiant patriots. Not only that, but they also spit in the face of our creator by murdering infants through abortions. Thank God you are putting a stop to that evil act.

It appears that you have been placed by the one true God in this position to stem the tide of corruption and treachery that was taking place behind closed doors. It seems the Democrats are determined to destroy our country from within. Their agenda was always to profit from a place of position. Bribery, licentiousness and lies ruled the day.

The way you handle these misguided people is just what they need, a man who speaks his mind and can’t be bought. Taunting them just makes them reveal their true intentions. If ever there was a time to play hardball with these enemies of the state – it is now. They won’t stop harassing you and only want to divert attention from themselves and their wrongdoings hoping they won’t be found out for their criminal activities. If any of us common folks did half as much as they have, we would be in prison.

They are trying to divert attention away from their criminality by accusing you of anything they can – it’s all there in their Sal Alinsky playbook.

I’m sure that during your youth and while growing up you got to know many, if not all, of the elites and found that they were raping the citizens of our good country. A good country founded on Judeo Christian principles and made up of hardworking men and women – trying to provide for their families. 

Since the Democrats want to inspect your tax returns, perhaps you should challenge them to show us theirs first. (They mustn’t live off the fat of the land for doing nothing but inciting sedition.)

By remaining in power after the next election cycle, you will afford us the time to get our act together before the wrath of God falls upon us ( The Silent Majority) for our apathy.

I also want to thank you for recently saying that drinking, smoking and drug use is bad and that there really isn’t any need for it. I agree whole heartedly, since I have never used drugs and gave up on cigarettes and strong drink many years ago upon receiving Christ into my life.

P.S.

Did you know that the bible speaks of the “Trump of God “sounding to call up believers in what we call the rapture? 1 Thessalonians 4: 16.  

Although I believe on the literal meaning of that passage, this anomaly may have also been a play on words by Almighty God. 

Keep up the good work.

God bless you and Melania and God bless America.

Your friend and supporter,

UNREGENERATES


By Jim Towers

The doors to mental institutions have been flung open and we are fast becoming a country of lunatics. Culture is diminishing to mindlessness. Our cultural leaders are liars and criminals and our religious leaders are becoming complacent and/or complicit in today’s degenerating society.

Modern day art, and fashion are also being greatly influenced by undegenerates, and soon our country and the world at large will become a living nightmare for those who will be left behind to face the seven-year tribulation period the bible speaks of. Thank God we “born again” Christians will be gone due to the rapture of the church – just before tribulation hits the fan.

Van Gogh had to paint the way he did with dabs and touches of just the right hues to compose a painting. Cutting his ear off – he made that clear. Modern art began with Picasso, (an artist who was an excellent painter in his youth) with his mix of discombobulated body parts floating in space painted in vibrant primary colors he led the way for others to follow suit. Soon, a frustrated and mentally disturbed artist named Pollack began spilling paint directly from the can onto canvas spread out on the floor and began calling it art. His benefactor a wealthy woman who was a “socialite “became romantically enthralled with him and promoted his “art work” – if you can call it that.    

Whatever happened to the likes of Michelangelo, Titian, Rembrandt, Caravaggio and Degas?  

Today anything goes and anyone can pick up a brush to paint the images in his head on canvas. A certain young man (obviously on drugs) is following suit with ugly if not demonic renderings of child like ‘paintings” that people are paying big money for.

We all know art is subjective but come on, to sit in an art museum and ponder a piece of art while trying to appear cultured is not only silly but foolish. The bible warns us that in the last days, “They will say good is bad, and bad is good.”Elephants are also getting into the act with their “Works of art” as well and making money for their trainers. Even toddlers are getting into the act, their parents selling their so-called paintings for hundreds of dollars. 

As for fashion, silly effeminate men tell women (and now men as well) what to wear while they make money hand over fist – fueling their drug and sex orgies in New York, Miami, San Francisco and LA. and laughing all the way to the bank. 

We see them everywhere; torn at the knees jeans that we know were manufactured that way to make us believe the wearers are waifs or of the working class. It’s just a matter of time until the manufacturers open a huge hole in the seat of woman’s jeans to expose the gullible women’s derrieres.  Sex sells. 

Women everywhere are already vying to see who can expose the most flesh, never stopping to consider the state of their decaying souls.

In the world of fashion, men are paraded on “catwalks” displaying the latest modern trends which consist of women’s apparel and high heels. They even wear lipstick and eye shadow.

Seeing men in this display of debauchery it makes a real man’s stomach churn in disgust. All of this is a joke played out on mankind by Lucifer and his homosexual minions – Satan must be laughing his evil head off.

Speaking of fashion does anyone remember the story of the emperor’s clothes? Of how wanting to have the best of everything the emperor wanted a suit of clothes – fit for a king. The shrewd tailor made him a set of invisible clothes that made him the laughing stock of his countrymen. Such is the case today – except that no one is laughing, and many want to belong to the “in crowd.”

We’ve reached the tipping point and already we are seeing this demonic horde taking over the world with their sometimes silly or divisive ideas and inventions. This, while foolish rhetoric spews from their vile lips.

Manmade beauty is being replaced by ugliness in many quarters of our beloved country. Satan is using atheists and the unregenerate to confuse, confound, divide and in their direct attempt to destroy Christianity and rightful living.

We are fast becoming a crazed people in love with everything that’s ugly – ugly art, ugly apparel, – ugly music, ugly language – no social skills – lies – hate – drugs, ugly films, and corruption plus an ugly religion (Catholic) filled with pedophiles.

The same can be said in political circles. Corrupt politicians are trying to cover their treasonous acts while good men are dying in trying to expose them. So much so that we are becoming immune with their scandalous, criminal behavior and the lies they tell – while they continue to walk freely despite their treasonous behavior. This is a very dangerous fault since in so doing our county will be facing collapse if we Christians don’t wake up from our apathetic slumber and speak up to stem the tide. 

As we look out on this vast illiterate, obstinate and degenerate world we can only hope to escape the havoc and societal breakdown that is coming upon us. And, while it’s true that some are doing good and redeeming work, they are becoming as scarce as hens’ teeth.

It’s hard to believe we are finally here at the crossroads of life having to decide which way to go. Do we follow the unregenerate crowd or stand up for what’s right and good in this darkening world scene?

To those who still have half a brain I would say REPENT!  It is fast becoming your last chance to get it right and to find redemption through faith in Christ Jesus.

NOTE:

With the rapture drawing ever closer we must pull out all the stops to bring in the unsaved.

SHEEPLE?

By Jim Towers

A certain radio personality often refers to people as “sheeple” and I can understand why. People today are so lethargic and apathetic that they even need others to think for them. Especially as pertains to religion. Sheeple have a tendency of following anyone who will lead them – much like Lemmings and Democrats. It is my perception from having been a church goer for over forty years that this is so, especially in these “last days”. Some church goers have become so institutionalized that they are no worldly good to anyone but themselves, “having a form of Godliness but denying the power thereof.”

Many feel obligated to “do church” in order to garner respectability and/ or socialize with the right crowd. However, that reason is being phased out as our country and the church become more secularized and even more corrupt. Soon, as the church comes under attack, more and more people will be leaving in what is called the great falling away in the Bible. According to the bible, this is supposed to be happening at the end of the church age.

In some cases, this leaving the church is due to the pedophilia taking place in the Catholic denomination (which has long been suspect of being a self – serving cult). Protestants are not exempt from such behavior and are themselves only too human to walk the straight and narrow, which incidentally, can only achieved through the help of the Holy Spirit; Jesus said “I will send you a comforter and He will lead you into all truth.” But we can only discern the Spirit of truth as we study scripture diligently. “Thy Word is Truth.”

We must remember that many in the church are made up of repentant extortioners, liars, homosexuals, pedophiles, crooked politicians and lawyers. While some of these sinners are saved, others are not. They only claim to be and we can only speculate. Since we are asleep at the wheel, is it any wonder that the church has become tainted by the un-regenerate shysters?

There is much to pick from by bible illiterate sheeple.

Everyone knows Jehovah’s Witnesses is a manmade cult begun by a lonely, religious, lunatic named Charles Taze Russell and the same can be said about Joseph Smith Jr. who founded the Mormons. To this craziness Jesus said, “Straight is the gate and narrow is the way that leads unto life and few there be that find it.”

True faith is not a product of church going but of Bible reading and adhering to the truths set forth from Christ Jesus, as in,  “You shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free.” That is, the freedom attained from fear, guilt and anxiety. If you don’t have this freedom then there is something missing in your walk with God, be it repentance, prayer and/or study, “Study to show yourself approved, a workman that need not be ashamed, rightly dividing the Word of God.” 

Since so many people are living under a rock not knowing or even caring about the state of the nation or their fellow man it is becoming more and more imperative as time runs out, for strong well-equipped Christians to share Christ with others. 

But we must show others we care before we can share the gospel with them; non- believers instinctively know when you are only trying to score points with God. Your testimony is often a good way to so.

I used my testimony the other day at my mission station, the Naples Fishing Pier. That’s where I go to witness to the regulars as well as visitors from all over the world. 

The middle-aged couple were from the New England States. Under the shelter while sitting at one of the picnic tables there. The man and I began a casual conversation about our love of literature. I told him how I only read non-fiction and his reply was that he too only read non-fiction.

The conversation drifted onto history, geography and biographies with each of us recalling our favorites. 

Somewhere during our chat, he mentioned that he was a Catholic, and I told him I was raised a Catholic too. At this point I had to ask him what he thought of the scandalous pedophilia permeating that (cultic) denomination, to which he replied that he was ashamed of the ongoing revelations, and I could tell he was sincere – his face turning red and speaking in a whisper. Both he and his wife were devout Catholics.

I told the man that I was a contributing writer to rapture ready and handed him my two-sided card with my web site on the front and rapture ready on the back. After this I proceeded to warn him about impostors (wolves in sheep’s clothing) in the last days that Paul wrote to Timothy about. Quoting scripture, I laid it on the line, and he was strangely silent. Noting this, I asked if the church still read from the Douay Rhimes version (which incidentally has fairy tales included). His wife who had been listening intently leaned over and said they didn’t read the bible at all. I urged them to acquire a King James version and learn from it. 

The couple got up and the man shook my hand – she smiled a subdued smile and nodded in agreement with a look of contrition. As they left, I could only assume that this was the reason for my being there – for another divine appointment.

ABOUT BOOKS:

Our sister in Christ, Geri Ungurean did a good and thorough write up on the book “Dark Agenda by David Horowitz – which I have yet to acquire. After reading what Geri said about it on Rapture Ready recently, I’m looking forward to reading the book myself.

In the meantime, I find myself engrossed in a new book by Dr, David Jeremiah titled, “The Book of Signs” with the sub title “31 undeniable prophecies of the apocalypse” and enjoying it very much as we agree on nearly everything.

NOTE:

Sad to say, my pastor Dr. Hayes Wicker will be leaving us after 25 years of ministry. He was a good friend to Chuck Colson and Adrian Rodgers among many others. I will be sad to see him go.

AN OPEN LETTER TO MY WAYWARD CHILD


By Jim Towers

My Dear child,

I did everything I could as a parent to let you know how much I love you and care about your wellbeing – yet today you treat me like a stranger. I know things weren’t always perfect and I might have been a better parent. I might add – that you never saw me use drugs, strong drink or even use vulgarity. On top of that I was an even-tempered person given to good works – as you well know. Where did I go wrong?

There was a time (as a baby) when you had reoccurring colic and I would get up in the middle of the night to take you for a ride in our car along with your puppy dog. We would park on the bluff overlooking the bay with the full moon overhead listening to love songs on the radio. Soon the music would lull you back to sleep and we headed back home in the dark. 

At three we went riding together on my bike just you and me; I even made you a little seat so you could ride in front of me. We sang songs like “Chiquitita by Abba” while we rode together. Do you remember the red fire truck bed I made for you? The one in which you slept as a toddler with your puppy “Cotton” curled up at your feet.

We bought you a piano that you’d play all the time – even in the early morning while still in you little white underwear. You had a piano recital at the age of four. The tune was “Twinkle Twinkle Little Star.” I was excited and clapped until my hands hurt. You and my other children were my delight and reason for being.

You were growing up fast. I taught you the important things in life like fishing and baseball and climbing in trees. As a child we took you to church, you even learned bible verses and won some awards. But life’s demands and distractions led your mom and I to divorce. Irreconcilable differences was the Christian marriage counsellors decree after several sessions and so your mother divorced me. 

The breakup couldn’t keep me away I’d visit you daily and wrestle and play. I’d take you to school sometimes on my back – just for fun. Sometimes we’d skip along or run, and we always found time for fun. Remember the time you hunted for treasure from an old map I found, well it was me who created that pirate map when you weren’t around. Then there was the time when a white dove mysteriously landed at your feet and you tried to catch it to see if it was hurt. The bird recovered and eventually flew away… it seems like yesterday. Then there was the time you fell from the tree house that I built in the mango tree alongside the house, not to speak of the initial adverse reaction you had from that very same tree. 

As time wore on, I taught you to swim. You grew fearless in water and took to it like a duck…No, make that a fish soon you could swim even better than your dad. We’d snorkel around the rocks in a cove by the bay. I gave the round outcroppings names like the “turtles” and “hippos” where we’d often spend the day. The water was shallow and clear with minnows and colorful fish and various things like sea shells to add to our collection. We even had a saltwater tank with all kinds of creatures, do you remember that?

We and your younger brother would sit on the swings in the park in the evening singing songs and drinking soda. We’d go to the movies – “Gandhi” was one of the first then came “Rocky” 2, 3, and four”. What a great time we had – I couldn’t want for more. 

You boys took up surfing and I would watch from the beach holding my breath as you swam out into the deep. There was the time on your very first job as a teen as a bagboy at the local supermarket but soon you heard the call “surfs up” and headed for the beach. That job didn’t last long. I never said anything because I have that same propensity.

You were growing up fast and soon you were working at the framing store with a pressed white shirt and tie. You were the best they ever had with artistic talent and clear discerning eyes. You even began painting pictures yourself. That’s when I noticed that you had a creative mind and I knew that you could achieve anything your heart desired. You had a sharp, creative and quick mind.

Soon you were off to college in a school up north with an art scholarship at a prestigious school. During spring break, you and I would travel about exploring this hemisphere. I remember the Jaguar jungle trip where you killed a big poisonous snake that stood defiantly in our path ready to strike. One baseball sized rock and your perfect aim was all it took for you to put him away.

Remember Honduras and the tiny island in the sea where we fished while a huge crocodile -that I thought was a log – swam just feet away from us as we fished in the surf. Man, did we have adventure.

As time went on you continued to grow and like it or not, we had some very same traits. Then something happened after four years at university. I held my breath and prayed every day you were away. You became cynical about your faith and gradually let it slip away. You knew right from wrong, but life and (I suspect) your professors turned your head and now you know more about life than your very experienced father. You were a scholar.

Now, twenty some years later I have a grandson with a shock of blond hair and clear blue eyes. You drifted from your childhood faith even as I continued to grow in mine. When we are together and taking a meal, I say grace and you and yours only sit there with a blank look on your faces. As if that weren’t enough my young grandson says that God and the bible aren’t true at the dinner table. At seven years old he knows everything – much like you. Please don’t let him forfeit the endless benefits of knowing Jesus Christ and our Heavenly Father.

I’m hoping God will quicken your mind because I don’t want to be raptured and have to leave you behind. It breaks my heart to see you up tight with angst and guilt while I get a good night’s sleep each and every night – with a clear conscience toward God. 

Please repent and seek God in the face of Christ Jesus while He may yet be found.

Love Dad.

CUNNING AS SERPENTS


By Jim Towers

Jesus told us to be cunning as serpents and harmless as doves.

With the word of God being ignored and replaced with man’s vain imaginings, idol worship and desire to having our own way they are prone to become bi – polar, severely depressed and/or all together deranged as this young man apparently was. 

Thus, in light of the Christchurch slaughter we find ourselves facing a dilemma. Islamic worshipers were attacked by a lone gunman – as far as we know. Although his motives weren’t clear he was obviously deranged, as are many in todays world. All too many people have an agenda bent on destruction and they can no longer control the satanic impulses that compel them to do evil. (Not all Muslims are terrorists but their theology commands that they hate infidels Christians and Jews. Many Muslims like Christians and Jews do not practice their faith even though they call themselves so. They are Muslims, Christians and Jews in name only).

Such is the case with Jihadists. Albeit, we Christians who have the Holy Spirit abiding in us should have a degree of self-control.

So how then do we respond to those with whom we have issues, those who would harm and kill us? It isn’t easy, since our first instinct would be to retaliate in kind, nevertheless God says to love our enemies. As hard as it sometimes is, we are to emanate Christ in our lives, and be peace loving and forgiving individuals – it is not an easy thing to do. 

We condemn the actions of others and sometimes justifiably so. We sometimes have hard choices to make, but speaking for myself, I wouldn’t think twice in protecting my family members and friends by whatever means possible. This for me is permissible since king David, a man after God’s own hear was a warrior.

While passing judgement on others let’s not forget that we were at one time an enemy of God ourselves, which brings to mind the next little story.

I recently asked God to let me be in His will throughout the day as I awakened. Little did I know to what extent He would use me.  

I go to a local park where once a month they have a “yard sale” where people in the community can come to sell discarded items and such. Since I enjoy encountering people to share my faith with and pray for, I look forward to that event – once a month.

Jehovah’s Witnesses have set up a tent there to promote their errant man-made theology and it was grating on me to do something to counter them. Accordingly, I set up a ten by ten foot tent and posted big signs that said “Come unto me all ye that labor and are heavy laden and I will give you rest – Jesus” and another that said “ Jesus said, I am the way the truth and the life; no man comes to the Father but by me.” Sure enough, one of the Jehovah’s Witnesses came over to investigate. 

Being too busy to talk to him (because I was witnessing to a young homosexual) he only read the signs and I saw him slither way out of the corner of my eye. Thus, I was confronting evil on two fronts as I let God do the discerning and judging knowing I was doing the right thing.

Surprisingly, the young man revealed that another young man at the sale was also a homosexual. The two were friends.

Since I had dealt with homosexuals in the past, I did the best I could (in a loving way) to share the Gospel with the one while the other one wanted nothing to do with me.  

Using scripture, I solemnly revealed that we are all sinners in need of forgiveness – me included. I spoke of repentance and faith. When the young man said he was a Catholic I cautioned him to read the King James version since the Duay Riems and the Catholics other booklets were faulty. I also let him know that Muslims also use prayer beads much like the rosery. He in turn told me he was appalled by the pedophilia taking place in the church by the priests!

We talked intensely for about an hour as the time flew by and we finally had to go our separate ways. But before I left, I asked if I could pray for him asking God to open the young man’s eyes in seeking Gods face. He acquiesced and I said the prayer for him right out there in the open – for which he thanked me, and then I left, but not before giving him my card. The young man E. mailed me that night to let me know he was going to find a bible.

What a day, and all because I asked God to use me that morning to His glory. That divine appointment made my day.

Movie and book critique – 

The movie “Evidence for Exodus “was for me entertaining since I love archeology but as for helping us Christians in out present situation it was lacking in substance. Incidentally, one of my favorite books on that subject was “The Gold of Exodus” written several years ago which was more thorough and compelling. You can find it at your local library.

The EU- Some things never change

“As in the case of Czechoslovakia, Israel’s insistence on not parting with territories strategically vital for its defenses is presented as the obstacle to peace”

The Strategic Barrier

Czechoslovakia was strategically placed in the heart of Europe, and its conquest was central to Hitler’s plans for overrunning Europe. Though small, Czechoslovakia could field over 800,000 men (one of the strongest armies in Europe), and it had a highly efficient arms industry. 

To complicate matters from Hitler’s point of view, it possessed a formidable physical barrier to his designs in the shape of the Sudeten mountains, which bordered Germany and guarded the access to the Czech heartland and the capital city of Prague only miles away. A system of fortifications and fortresses had been built in the mountains over many years, making passage by force a very costly proposition, perhaps even impossible. We now know from the Nuremberg trials and other sources that Hitler’s generals were utterly opposed to an assault on the Czech fortifications. Worse from Hitler’s point of view, the Western powers had promised at Versailles to guarantee the Czech border against any aggressive attack. France, which in 1938 could field one hundred divisions (an army 50% larger than Germany’s), had agreed in writing to come to the Czech’s defense, and Britain and Russia were committed to joining in if France did.

The Propaganda Solution

Since an outright military victory seemed impossible, Hitler embarked on an unprecedented campaign to politically force the Czechs to give up the land, and with it any hope of being able to defend their capital or their country. 

The inhabitants of the Sudetenland, Hitler said, were predominantly German, and these three million Sudeten Germans deserved—what else? —the right of self-determination and a destiny separate from the other seven million inhabitants of Czechoslovakia; this despite the fact that the country was a democracy and that the Sudeten Germans enjoyed economic prosperity and full civil rights. 

To buttress his claim, Hitler organized and funded the creation of a new Sudeten political leadership that would do his bidding, which was, in the words of Sudeten leader Konrad Henlein, to “demand so much that we can never be satisfied.” In addition, Hitler backed the establishment of a Sudeten liberation movement called the Sudeten Free Corps, and he instigated a series of well-planned and violent uprisings that the Czechs were compelled to quell by force. Hitler’s propaganda chief, Goebbels, orchestrated a fearful propaganda campaign of fabricated “Czech terror” and oppression of the Sudeten Germans.

Thus, the plight of the German minority in Czechoslovakia was merely
a pretext … for cooking up a stew in a land he coveted, undermining it,
confusing and misleading its friends and concealing his real purpose …
to destroy the Czechoslovak state and grab its territories ….
The leaders of France and Great Britain did not grasp this. All through the
spring and summer, indeed almost to the end, Prime Minister Chamberlain
and Premier Daladier apparently sincerely believed, along with most of
the rest of the world, that all Hitler wanted was justice for his kinsfolk in
Czechoslovakia…

William Shirer, The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich

The Reversal of Causality

The Czech refusal to allow the Sudeten territories to return to their “rightful” German owners, Hitler prattled, was proof that the Czechs were the intransigent obstacle to peace. For what choice would Germany have but to come to the assistance of its oppressed brethren living under intolerable Czech occupation?

Moreover, the Germans reversed causality, claiming that the Czechs were trying to precipitate a European crisis in order to prevent the breakup of their state, that the choice between war and peace in Europe was in
Czech hands, and even that “this petty segment of Europe is harassing the human race.” 

But there was a simple way to simultaneously avoid war and achieve justice, Hitler said. The Western powers—meaning Britain and France— could force the Czechs to do what was necessary for the sake of peace: Czechoslovakia had to relinquish the “occupied territories!” 

Manufacturing a Point of View

 And it worked. With astonishing speed, the governments and opinionmakers of the West adopted Hitler’s point of view. Throughout 1937 and 1938, mounting pressure was exerted on Czechoslovakia by the leading Western powers “to go to the utmost limit” to meet Sudeten demands. Czech leader Edvard Benes was reviled as intransigent. The Western press published articles lamenting Czech shortsightedness and its total disregard for the cause of peace in Europe, as well as the injustice of not allowing the Sudetenland to be “returned” to Germany (despite the fact that it had never been part of Germany). 

The British envoy who was dispatched to investigate the situation even went so far as to demand that Czechoslovakia “so remodel her foreign relations as to give assurances to her neighbors that she will in no circumstances attack them or enter into any aggressive action against them.”

Land for Peace

On September 18, 1938, under the gun of Hitler’s September 28 deadline, a meeting was held between the British Cabinet and the French prime minister and foreign minister, in which it was determined that democratic Czechoslovakia must accede to Hitler’s demands.  

Despite the fact that the West had promised in writing at Versailles to go to war to defend Czechoslovakia’s borders, it was agreed that the Czechs must give up the Sudetenland for “the maintenance of peace and the safety of Czechoslovakia’s vital interests.” In return, the Czechs would receive from Britain and France “an international guarantee of the new boundaries… against unprovoked aggression.” 

If the Czechs did not accept the plan and thereby save the peace of Europe, they were informed by the leaders of the free world, they would be left to fight Hitler alone. In Neville Chamberlain’s immortal words: “It is up to the Czechs now.”

The Sting

But in fact it was not even left to the Czechs. Chamberlain realized that if the Czechs were to fight, France and Britain might be forced to fight too. As the Czechs and Germans mobilized, Chamberlain became increasingly hysterical about averting war by buying off Hitler with the Czech defensive wall. 

He shuttled repeatedly to Germany to try to arrange the payoff. Finally, minutes before his September 28 deadline, Hitler “agreed” to Chamberlain’s proposal for an international peace conference to bring peace to Central Europe. At Munich, Britain and France pleaded with Hitler for 11 hours to “compromise” and take the Sudetenland peacefully. In the end Hitler agreed. 

The Western leaders returned in triumph to London and Paris. In government, in parliament, and in the press, Chamberlain and Daladier were praised, cheered, and thanked for having traded land for peace. “My friends,” said Chamberlain, “I believe it is peace in our time.”

For when they shall say, ‘Peace and safety’; then sudden destruction

cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall

not escape.

1 Thessalonians 5:3

Having grasped the fact that his supposed democratic allies had allowed themselves to become tools in Hitler’s hand, Prime Minister Benes announced Czechoslovakia’s capitulation to the demands of the
totalitarians. “We have been basely betrayed,” he said.

Phase Two
On September 30, the Czech army began its withdrawal from the Sudetenland—from the strategic passes, the mountain fortresses, and the major industrial facilities that would have been the backbone of Czechoslovakia’s effort to defend itself. But this was only Phase One of Hitler’s plan. 

The German annexation of the Sudetenland was followed by a renewed list of demands on the Czechs. The Nazis continued to invent incidents of violence and oppression against the ethnic German minority in what was left of the Czech state.

Less than six months later, on March 15, 1939, the Nazi war machine rolled through the rest of Czechoslovakia. Shorn of their defenses in the Sudeten mountains, the Czechs were now powerless to resist. Phase Two had been implemented. The Western powers again did nothing. Once more, all their assurance proved worthless.

Clear and Present Danger

Unfortunately, the parallels to today’s effort to gouge Judea and Samaria out of Israel are all too easy to see. Like the Sudeten district, the West Bank is mountainous territory, a formidable military barrier that guards the slender and densely populated Israeli shoreline and Israel’s capital city. 

Like the Germans, the Arabs understand that as long as Israel controls these mountains, it will not be overrun. They understand too that a military campaign to seize these mountains is at present unthinkable, and that Israel’s removal from them can be achieved only by the application of irresistible political pressure by the West on Israel to withdraw. 

The Arab regimes have therefore embarked on a campaign to persuade the West that the Arab inhabitants of these mountains (like the Sudeten Germans, comprising roughly a third of the total population) are a separate people that deserves the right of self- determination—and that unless such self-determination is granted, the Arab states will have no choice but to resort to war to secure it. 

As in the case of Czechoslovakia, Israel’s insistence on not parting with territories strategically vital for its defenses is presented as the obstacle to peace. Echoing Munich, the Arabs repeatedly advocate “active” American (and European) involvement, in the hope that an American Chamberlain can be found to force “the intransigent party” to capitulate where it is otherwise unwilling to compromise its own security. That the Arabs have borrowed directly from the Nazis in this, as in so many of their other devices against Israel, is not surprising. What is surprising, or at least disappointing, is the speed and readiness with which this transparent ruse has been received, digested, and internalized by the elite of the Western world. Not a day passes without some somber editorial or political comment from august quarters in America or Europe asking Israel to voluntarily accept the same decree that Czechoslovakia was asked to accept.

The Rape of Czechoslovakia: A Case study for #Israel

(The following is from the study of the Book of Romans by Chuck Missler.  Romans 9,10, and 11 a study that deals with the Nation of Israel, from past, to present to its future.  It is uncanny how the tactics used by the Nazis in Czecholovakia, are in use today against Israel)

SANCTITY OF LIFE


By Jim Towers

When God created mankind, He created mankind in His image, with the ability to make decisions and to choose right or wrong and the direction of his or her life.  Mankind has come a long way since the garden of Eden, and it looks like the Serpent (Satan) is winning the battle for mankind’s souls. Satan’s final push is at hand and he is pulling out all the stops by promoting infanticide.

The bible tells us that children are a gift from God. God gave us the capability to produce children to love and cherish – not to destroy. In fact, it is like spitting in the face of our benevolent creator to do so. It is evil and appalling to see how many people are participating in this dreadful act with some even bragging about it.

Because people seek the pleasure to be derived from the sex act, they commit fornication with various and sundry partners, the end result is that the pregnant woman’s lives, (who not wanting to be a mother) are all but ruined. In desperation they seek out an abortion, never once considering what God thinks of such an evil deed. God is watching and knows who and what is involved in this morbid act. The bible says that there will be hell to pay. 

Nothing could be eviler than to take an innocent infants’ life. The innocent victim of this atrocity is to the murderer just an inconvenient blob of flesh. And today the only value human life has is in the monetary gain accrued by the sale of various body parts.

David, a man after God’s own heart said, “For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb.  I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place, when I was woven together in the depths of the earth. Your eyes saw my unformed body; all the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be. “Furthermore, “Grandchildren are the crown of the aged, and the glory of children is their fathers. Like arrows in the hands of a warrior are children born in one’s youth.” 

When the Apostles tried to shoo away the children who would approach Him, Jesus saw this and he was indignant. He said to them, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these.” He called a little child to and placed the child among them. And he said: “Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. Therefore, whoever takes the lowly position of this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. And whoever welcomes one such child in my name welcomes me.”

Some say that it is ok to murder because of incest, rape or infidelity but these only constitute less than one percent of abortions. It really is no excuse. Meanwhile the abortion mill is making millions of dollars from aborted human body parts. 

Again, Jesus said; “If anyone causes one of these little ones—those who believe in me—to stumble, it would be better for them to have a large millstone hung around their neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea.”Those who would kill or rape a child are a facing a terrible fate according to the bible.

In response to my most recent article A reader wrote to me and had this to say about society today.

Hi, Jim.  And we haven’t seen anything yet.  The demonic manifestation of transgender mania is growing exponentially, and we are all being exposed to it on some level.  Gender dysphoria was labeled a mental disorder until a few years ago.  Psychiatrist/psychologists/counselors know that those suffering from it have other mental issues, too, caused in large part by abuse, but they refuse to treat any of those issues.  Instead, the children are given hormone treatments and “affirmed” in their illness.  Our children are being targeted through every venue including school classrooms K-12 through indoctrination of “anti-bullying” programs and sex ed inclusive curriculum that focuses on sexual orientation, gender identity and exposes children to deviate sexual practices.  Homosexuality is based on deception, but transgender is a delusion by those who suffer from it and everyone who accepts and supports them.  The floodgates of demonic activity have been opened, and it is coming in like a flood.  God help us and have mercy on the children.  Maranatha.

YSIC,

Karole

Recommended read.

Tucker Carlson the Fox News pundit has written a well-researched book titled “Ship of Fools”.

This book delves into the corrupt lives of the elite in our culture, a culture of money, power and death. In it he also exposes the hypocrisy and corruption of our political leaders and people in high places. This writing is intense and not for the faint of heart.

Since the book came out recently the left is angry and attempting to discredit Tucker by any means possible. His job is at stake. We need more people to stand up for what is right as our country flounders with these life and death issues. 

We should pray for this courageous man and his family as we ask what part we can play in the battle against evil. In doing so, we must be harmless as doves.
