Ok, sorry it took so long to post but I’ve
finally updated the Truck
page with new photos of the new truck!
For those who don’t remember why I got it, go here .
I’ll quickly summarize:
I found out that the dealership from whom I bought the 2002 S-10 proudly supported
the homosexual pride celebrations here in Denver.
So I dumped the truck and brought a new one from a new dealership.
I actually got a sweet deal.
My payments are the same; my insurance only goes up a tiny bit.
I did not have to put a penny down as long as you don’t count all the
“personalization” junk like new seat covers, plates, dash mats,
etc.
The truck is twice the size as the S-10 but its tank is also twice the size
at half the gas mileage because of the V8 vs. 4Cyl.
So the deal was obviously a God-send. How else can you walk in at noon on Monday
and leave 90 minutes later with a new truck (it only had 3 miles and .5 hours
on it) without spending an extra dime?
Praise Jesus.
Thank you, Lord, for the new truck, for Your Will and for Your Blessing.
“Safe Words” and “Politically
Correct” titles are crap!
They’re ways to soften up the sin or to play down the importance.
If they want to address God’s commandments, His Word, they call them,
“Old Ways”.
God’s way is old fashioned, outdated traditions.
You’ll hear about gay men and lesbians. They’re all homosexuals,
but of course ya gotta soften the sin to make them acceptable alternate lifestyles.
I can’t recall the author, “A rose by any other name…”
Let’s use a bit of artistic license, “A sin by any other name…”
Catholics don’t call us Christians, we’re protestants to them even
though we have different Gods!
Sinners call us bigots. They’re actually calling God a bigot and saying
He is full of hate but we understand what they mean, even if they don’t
yet.
Sinners call themselves gay, but they’re not gay, they’re homosexual.
Throw this one out, “I’m a gay Christian who’s not homosexual
and hates religion.”
That throws off a world which has perverted the English language.
A narrow minded Christian is a bigot who is fundamental.
In fact, even fundamentals are called extremists now.
Not all muslims are terrorists anymore, only those fundamental extremists who
have gotten caught.
It’s not abortion or baby murder but “Pro-Choice”. As if it
should be a choice to murder.
I know, I’m ranting.
But ya gotta take this new world religion, this humanism which creates its own
gods and even worships mankind as gods, with a grain of salt and even laugh.
It’s a pity and sad laugh but a laugh all the same.
The scariest part is, I used to be brainwashed to believe this junk!
I used to agree and spout it out.
I remember saying, “We should all tolerate each other’s lifestyles.
All religions and Faiths worship the same God. As long as we’re good people,
we will all get into Heaven. Homosexuals, like all sinners, were born that way,
created that way by God. Let’s rejoice in the way God created us.”
You know where I was taught that crap?
Public school, folks. If you still don’t believe the liberal government
teaches religions in the schools, then simply pick up a “science”
book and sit through a “history” class to see the religions of evolution,
homosexuality and pluralism being taught.
Ok, my rant’s over. I gotta go to bed and
get up early.
P.S.
Thank you, folks for all the emails about my new truck.
I’ll have the photos up and the page recreated by the beginning of next
week, hopefully.
I know, I’m sorry, the truck is one month old today at 1:30pm, but I’ve
had to get it personalized before I snap new photos and post ‘em for y’all
to see.
Thanks for being patient and keep sending me reminders until I repost the new
page.
Update: In the month of July, we hit a new record, more than 7000 unique hits
and more than 15000 total hits. I cannot imagine what y’all find so interesting,
but thank you for coming. Thank you for the emails and keep the suggestions
and love (and hate) coming.
“GO JOE, GO!!
FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO ARE NOT FAMILIAR WITH JOE ARPAIO,
HE IS THE MARICOPA
ARIZONACOUNTYSHERIFF AND HE KEEPS GETTING ELECTED OVER AND OVER.
Sheriff
Joe Arpaio (in Arizona) is the one who created the "tent
city jail":
He has jail meals down to 28 cents a serving and charges the inmates for them.
He stopped smoking and porno magazines in the jails.
Took away their weights. Cut off all but "G" movies.
He started chain gangs so the inmates could do free work on county and city
projects.
Then he started chain gangs for women so he wouldn’t get sued for discrimination.
He took away cable TV until he found out there was a federal court order that
required cable TV for jails. So he hooked up the cable TV again only let in
the Disney channel and the weather channel.
When asked why the weather channel he replied, "So they will know how hot
it is gonna be while they are working on my chain gangs."
He cut off coffee since it has zero nutritional value.
When the inmates complained, he told them, "This isn’t the Ritz/Carlton.
If you don’t like it, don’t come back."
He bought Newt Gingrich’ lecture series on videotape that he pipes into the
jails.
When asked by a reporter if he had any lecture series by a Democrat, he replied
that a democratic lecture series might explain why a lot of the inmates were
in his jails in the first place.
More on the Arizona Sheriff:
With temperatures being even hotter than usual in Phoenix (116 degrees just
set a new record), the Associated Press reports: About
2,000 inmates living in a barbed-wire- surrounded tent encampment at the Maricopa
County Jail have been given permission to strip down to their government-issued pink boxer shorts.
On Wednesday, hundreds of men wearing boxers were either curled up on their
bunk beds or chatted in the tents, which reached 138
degrees inside the week before.
Many were also swathed in wet, pink towels as sweat collected on their chests
and dripped down to their pink socks.
"It feels like we are in a furnace," said James Zanzot, an inmate
who has lived in the tents for 1+ years. "It’s inhumane."
Joe Arpaio, the tough-guy sheriff who created the tent city and long ago started
making his prisoners wear pink, and eat bologna
sandwiches, is not one bit sympathetic. He said Wednesday that he told all of
the inmates:
"It’s 120 degrees in Iraq and our soldiers are living in tents too, and
they have to wear full battle gear, but they didn’t commit any crimes, so shut
your damned mouths!"
Way to go, Sheriff! Maybe if all prisons were like this one there would be a
lot less crime and/or repeat offenders. "Criminals should be punished for
their crimes - not live in luxury until it’s time for their parole, only to
go out and commit another crime so they can get back in to live on taxpayer’s
money and enjoy things taxpayers can’t afford to have for themselves."
Sheriff Joe was just reelected Sheriff in Maricopa County, Arizona.”
Liberals who hate God and “His”tory
just hate the truth.
I’m sitting here watching a Discovery Channel show about the Phoenicians.
The Bible knows them as the Canaanites. They settled in Carthage and eventually
went to war with Rome and Greece. The Bible as well as other history books of
both the Romans and Greeks, tells horror stories of the “Phoenicians”
who sacrificed their children and gave their daughters to be whores (amoung
a myriad of vile offenses that angered God). The folks narrating/producing the
show, trying to justify the Phoenicians as great peoples, claim that the stories
are false and only resulted from the fact that the Israelis, Romans and Greeks
were envious and jealous of the success of these mighty explorers who dominated
the seas.
For a brief moment, the narrator breezes past the facts that these three different
opposing peoples, Greece- Rome – Israel, have almost exactly the same
stories about the Phoenicians and that archeologists have found hundreds of
pottery and urns filled with the burned bones of babies, both in the ruins of
Carthage, uncovered temples and throughout Lebanon. He guesses there may be
some truth to their stories. Then he gets back to insisting that after Rome
and Greece wiped out the Phoenicians and their capitol, they rewrote history
to vilify the people they envied so much that they had to invade and destroy
them for their success. I guess the Romans, Greeks and Israelis all had a big
pow-wow and discussed/decided on a common story to write about these peoples
they envied so much! "Shaa-right!".
This is how these liberal “His”tory haters try to “PC”
reality.
Take their rendition of islam. They claim that it is a religion of peace and
that those who are “killing in the name of their god” are extremists.
Huh? They probably don’t want to know about the continent of Africa. Nations
filled with muslims killing each other in the names of their gods. Killing others
who call themselves muslims. It’s not just Africa but Asia, Eastern Europe
as well as Western Europe and The U.K.
Take Iraq, you have the Kurdish and Arab Sunnis as well as the Shi’ites.
All call themselves Muslims. Sorta like the catholics and mormons, all lumping
themselves with Christians. (they’re not Christians, but that belongs
in another post).
These different “muslims” kill each other in the name of their gods.
They do it because, as the liberals claim, they are a peaceful religion. Of
Course!
The Bible tells us they will kill each other and us. That they hate the children
of God and they are the wild asses of men.
Wait, that’s “His”tory, not the liberal point of view!
Praise Jesus for the brains He gave us and that
some of us still use it.
Praise Jesus for the ability to tell fact from fiction and that He created us
Conservative to know the facts/reality!
I’m not allowed to name the programs on
my station which are not Biblically based and therefore not Christian. Let me
restate that; if I would like to keep my job, I should refrain from pointing
out who is preaching some other imperfect Jesus on the air!
If you are arrogant and claim that everybody who makes less than you is living
in a “Spirit of poverty” and you claim that Jesus is imperfect in
that His salvation is not eternal but dependant upon man’s actions (or
lack thereof) and that a man can get closer than another man to God by speaking
in tongues when he prays or in just about any situation – if you’re
preaching these ideas, then you’re preaching contrary to the Bible, to
God’s Word.
God told us that we earned salvation by Grace and not by works, lest any man
should boast. That we all come to Jesus and nothing we can do can get anybody
closer than another man. If I couldn’t speak in tongues but the man next
to me could, does that mean he can gain more of God’s favour than I? What
about those who cannot speak? They have no chance of gaining favour? God is
perfect, as is His salvation. He said He gave us eternal life, so what makes
you think that you can make His works less than perfect and change your eternal
salvation to temporal, depending on your imperfect works? And by whose measure
am I poor and in a “Spirit of Poverty” simply because I make less
than you? How arrogant are you? Are you so proud of your own works that you
condemn that with which the Lord blesses me? I pay my bills and then some. The
Lord tells us to give cheerfully and I do just that. He did not command us to
“tithe” religiously and tell us that if we do not, we’ve lost
our salvation and are condemned to hell until we start paying our religious
tithes again. That is extra-Biblical and not of Christ. Yes yes, we are told
we’ll receive blessing for these actions and chastisements for others,
but not that we will loose our salvation because of an imperfect God.
I assume this gentleman is preaching this way in order to help us to “sharpen
our swords” as it were; to hone our “Spirit of Discernment”.
Why else would a man come to a Christian radio station and preach 90% truth
and 10% lies? His show is popular, he gets donations (not tithes) enough to
pay the radio bills and his own bills and then some. There are only two options
here: 1) He preaches these half truths to help us learn and
be stronger in our Faiths; to see lies and learn to recognize them. The Spirit
of God supports this practice and makes his show successful to reach more listeners. OR 2) He is preaching another Jesus, born of the deceiver (the
devil) and of course the devil will make his show popular and keep him in the
money so the devil can spread his lies to as many as possible.
The only way to know which is which is to compare his preaching to the Word
of God. Does God tell us to preach a slightly “off” Word so that
we can build each other up and sharpen our swords? To purposefully mislead those
who have not yet learned to discern?
I did hear one great point on the air today. Pastor
Bob Enyart (Bob
Enyart Live) made a comment in the debate of the baby holocaust.
Listen
here
He was talking to Bill Clinton’s Pastor, “Rev. Wogaman” about
abortion. He made the point that atoms, matter and energy are not self aware.
The matter in our brains is not what makes us think; makes us sentient and aware.
Babies are not alive or dead simply because they have not yet formed brains
or because they are still only a few molecules. Babies are alive at conception
because God creates them at that moment. The baby’s Spirits, the babys
awareness of God and its own self-awareness comes at that exact moment of “fertilization”
at conception.
Praise Jesus for the Word of God, for life and
for His perfect salvation and grace.
******ADDENDUM*****
Wow, I got those responding emails right away:
Let me clarify what I said, I don’t want to confuse.
In no way do I mean to suggest that one cannot
speak in tongues or that one should not give simply because it is not commanded.
If you choose to “tithe” and speak in tongues, more power to you
and Praise Jesus!
But please do not teach that it is required and that our salvation is conditional,
based upon these. The Spirit of God in us will cause good works, giving cheerfully
and maybe even tongues in some of us, but one cannot get closer than another,
to God, or gain and give up his salvation because of any or the lack thereof.
These are not Biblically based teachings.
If the Lord God uses me as a steward to do one thing and He calls you to another,
we are not to consider ourselves any better or “closer to God” because
of them. We are all part of the same Body. Does the hand look down upon the
knee simply because the hand can write while the knee can only bend?
Sorry if I was a bit fuzzy on that, folks. Thanks for those instant emails asking
me to clarify. Seriously, I got those within five minutes of posting today.
I’m flattered.
"Held at Fort A.P.
Hill for 25 years, the event more than triples the county’s population, bringing
40,000 Scouts, leaders and staff together for 10 days of sports, conservation
activities and the construction of a tent city so elaborate that military officials
compare it to a refugee camp. County officials estimate that when the latest
jamboree begins a week from tomorrow, 300,000 additional people will stream
into the area, including parents, vendors and other spectators. The jamboree
is also an important event for the U.S. military, which has been supporting
it since the 1930s with contractors, 1,500 troops and $2 million a year in Defense
Department funding. However, that relationship is coming under scrutiny.A federal
judge ruled late last month that the Pentagon funding is unconstitutional because
the Boy Scouts are a religious organization, requiring Scouts to affirm a belief
in God. The case was initiated by the American Civil Liberties Union…."
"Newly drafted
Air Force guidelines for religious expression at the U.S. Air Force Academy
will emphasize respect for others’ beliefs, while supporting spirituality, officials
said Saturday. "We’re getting there,
but we still have a ways to go," said former Virginia Gov. James Gilmore,
who chairs the academy’s Board of Visitors…Gilmore
added that the "religious respect" guidelines to be finalized after
Aug. 1 "will be a good standard for the nation." It is "a real
plus" to raise the issues, Gilmore said, which "are not a pervasive
problem" in the cadet corps, as most Americans might believe…On June
22, an Air Force task force released a 93-page report that found a "perception
of religious intolerance" at the academy, but no overt bias against cadets
who are not evangelical Christians. The task force recommended the academy develop
guidelines regarding religious expression. "
All of this is simple Anti-First Ammendment
fever. People who want to inhibit our freedom of expression and to censor
GOD so that they can more freely preach and teach their religions in public
and at our schools.
I gotta start by saying, “Thank you, all
of you, for all of the emails.”
It’s great to get the support of all of my Christian brothers and sister.
It gives me strength knowing that y’all are there and that we all love
the Lord and the truth.
Even those few of you who write to simply swear (y’all know who you three
regulars are!), even though you’re no smarter than a box of rocks, I still
love you and thank you for your emails.
Eventually you’ll come to Christ, I have Faith.
In response the majority of the emails, I’ve
no immediate plans to convert the index into a blog spot.
There are too many nimrods and perverts that read and write to allow them to
post their creepiness on my site.
Their emails are entertaining but not worthy of posting for all to see.
On another note, I did one of the best gigs ever
tonight. I was motivated when I saw the Groom and his Groomsmen huddle and Pray
before the ceremony. Praise Jesus, lift the Bride and Groom up as they walk
with you all their days.
Coordinated
by Pam, Angela and Dora. Three ladies I’ve come to the conclusion
are some of the best coordinators around.
They probably feel as if what they did tonight was not the
best they could do, that they could do better.
If that is the case, I cannot imagine how it could get better.
I’ve done hundreds of weddings and this was one of the best
looking and more smoothly run events. The cheesey photos I’ve taken
don’t do justice to the great work they did. When the Bride walked in and saw their
work, she held her breath, her eyes got huge, then she raved. Every
time she turned around, she was seeing something new and she repeated the big
eyes and raving.
I don’t think the Bride, her Groom or the family and guests had a need
or want that was not anticipated before hand.
The reception was at the Mayor’s
residence. CableLand,
here in Denver, Colorado.
The bride
was gorgeous and the groom was handsome.
I was told that other than the original owner’s daughter, tonight’s
Bride and Groom are the first allowed into the residence to be married. I think
they, as well as the coordinators, made good the honour bestowed on them tonight.
Good job, ladies and congratulations to the Bride
and Groom, may the Lord continue to bless all of you.
Thanks for allowing me to DJ for you, your friends and loved ones.
I was approached by another guy in the Grocery
store parking lot. I think he may have been the same guy but this time he showed
me a handful of change and said that he’s trying to collect enough to
buy a beer. It was twelve-thirty in the after noon. You can guess my answer.
He commented on my new truck, as if by owning a new truck I should support those
who are looking for beer at 12:30pm!
Ok, so that wasn’t the point of my post, sorry for the sidetrack, y’all.
The Bible tells us that it is by Grace alone,
through Faith alone, in Christ alone that we are saved. No works. Nothing else.
Although salvation will produce works, we cannot “do” anything to
earn or give up our salvation.
This is tough for some because our works produced by that salvation are our
fruits. We’re told that we will know a man’s heart by his fruits.
While our flesh desires to do that which we don’t want to do, as Paul
said, we are to make no provisions for the flesh. Our flesh will desire fleshly
way and our Spirit will know better. I used to be a sinner. I had sex outside
of marriage. Now that I’m a Christian, my flesh still wants that fornication.
My Spirit and mind are not burning in that desire. It’s easy to deny the
flesh of its sinful desires. We’re told that if we live by the Spirit, we will
not gratify the desires of the sinful nature (the flesh).
The flesh still wants what the flesh still wants. There are a myriad of sins
that the flesh wants. Occasionally I do what I do not want to do.
I RECOGNIZE THAT SIN! I REPENT OF IT.
I have friends that willfully live in sin.
There are tons of justifications for that lifestyle.
One of which is that we can neither lose nor “earn” our salvation
by our works.
Because they professed with their mouths and believe in their hearts that Jesus
Christ is Lord, they are saved.
I agree with the Bible, I’d better, It’s absolute.
BUT…
In which Jesus do they believe? The Jesus of the Bible or the Jesus created
to suit their lifestyles?
They are not “trapped” in addiction/sin. They have CHOSEN that sin
and that denial of the Spirit.
The Spirit/Jesus of the Bible convicts me of the sin I commit. It causes me
to WANT to repent of that which we’re told is sin.
Somehow, the Spirit tells them that it’s ok to live sinful lifestyles.
To embrace the sins and revel in them.
People call themselves Christians, they claim to have professed Faith in Christ
but they’ve laid claim to a false god. Not the God of the Bible, which
abhors sin.
Yes, according the Bible (which is absolute truth) salvation is by grace alone,
though faith alone in Christ alone; that all that we need to do is profess with
our mouths and believe in our hearts that Jesus Christ is Lord.
It’s gotta be in the One True Living Christ, the Jesus Christ taught to
us in the Bible.
The way to the Father is through the Son. That way is narrow.
Don’t be fooled by the lies of the world that there are many wide paths.
There is one way and one Jesus.
If you don’t agree with the Bible, the Word of God, then you’ve
not yet accepted the Real Jesus and have not yet accepted His Grace and Eternal
Salvation. And please don’t argue with me that it is my interpretation of the
Bible. There is only one Jesus/God and He tells us quite clearly what sins are
and how to be saved by them. He tells us that He hates sin and that we are to
repent of them and that we will love one and hate the other. That we cannot
have two masters. He tells us that we cannot live in sin and be saved. So please,
argue with God (you’ll not win) but don’t argue with me. It’s not me with whom
you disagree, it’s God.
God is Good. He is patient and He loves you. Praise
Jesus!
