More evidence that the officer corps is politicized in the wrong direction. The phony show trials, the dithering at Ft. Hood. It’s all very disturbing. I am confident that the troops will be on the side of freedom, but I do not have the same confidence in the officer corps.
God bless and keep Franklin, and Billy, Graham. Shower them with blessings and favor. In Jesus’s Holy name, Amen.

From Pastor Hagee’s Daily Bible reading:
Parable of the Fig Tree
Matt. 24:32-35; Mark 13:28-31
29 Then He spoke to them a parable: “Look at the fig tree, and all the trees. 30 When they are already budding, you see and know for yourselves that summer is now near. 31 So you also, when you see these things happening, know that the kingdom of God is near. 32 Assuredly, I say to you, this generation will by no means pass away till all things take place. 33 Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will by no means pass away.
Warning to Watch for His Coming
Matt. 24:36-44; Mark 13:32-37
34 “But take heed to yourselves, lest your hearts be weighed down with carousing, drunkenness, and cares of this life, and that Day come on you unexpectedly. 35 For it will come as a snare on all those who dwell on the face of the whole earth. 36 Watch therefore, and pray always that you may be counted worthy to escape all these things that will come to pass, and to stand before the Son of Man.”
37 And in the daytime He was teaching in the temple, but at night He went out and stayed on the mountain called Olivet. 38 Then early in the morning all the people came to Him in the temple to hear Him.
Judas Agrees to Betray Christ
Matt. 26:1-5, 14-16; Mark 14:1, 2, 10, 11
22 Now the Feast of Unleavened Bread drew near, which is called Passover. 2 And the chief priests and the scribes sought how they might kill Him, for they feared the people.
3 Then Satan entered Judas, surnamed Iscariot, who was numbered among the twelve. 4 So he went his way and conferred with the chief priests and captains, how he might betray Him to them. 5 And they were glad, and agreed to give him money. 6 So he promised and sought opportunity to betray Him to them in the absence of the multitude.
The Upper Room is Prepared
Matt. 26:17-19; Mark 14:12-16
7 Then came the Day of Unleavened Bread, when the Passover must be killed. 8 And He sent Peter and John, saying, “Go and prepare the Passover for us, that we may eat.”
9 So they said to Him, “Where do You want us to prepare?”
10 And He said to them, “Behold, when you have entered the city, a man will meet you carrying a pitcher of water; follow him into the house which he enters. 11 Then you shall say to the master of the house, The Teacher says to you, “Where is the guest room where I may eat the Passover with My disciples?” 12 Then he will show you a large, furnished upper room; there make ready.”
13 So they went and found it just as He had said to them, and they prepared the Passover.
Psalm 90:1-17
The Eternity of God, and Man’s Frailty
A Prayer Of Moses the Man of God.
1 Lord, You have been our dwelling place in all generations.
2 Before the mountains were brought forth,
Or ever You had formed the earth and the world,
Even from everlasting to everlasting, You are God.
3 You turn man to destruction,
And say, “Return, O children of men.”
4 For a thousand years in Your sight
Are like yesterday when it is past,
And like a watch in the night.
5 You carry them away like a flood;
They are like a sleep.
In the morning they are like grass which grows up:
6 In the morning it flourishes and grows up;
In the evening it is cut down and withers.
7 For we have been consumed by Your anger,
And by Your wrath we are terrified.
8 You have set our iniquities before You,
Our secret sins in the light of Your countenance.
9 For all our days have passed away in Your wrath;
We finish our years like a sigh.
10 The days of our lives are seventy years;
And if by reason of strength they are eighty years,
Yet their boast is only labor and sorrow;
For it is soon cut off, and we fly away.
11 Who knows the power of Your anger?
For as the fear of You, so is Your wrath.
12 So teach us to number our days,
That we may gain a heart of wisdom.
13 Return, O Lord!
How long?
And have compassion on Your servants.
14 Oh, satisfy us early with Your mercy,
That we may rejoice and be glad all our days!
15 Make us glad according to the days in which You have afflicted us,
The years in which we have seen evil.
16 Let Your work appear to Your servants,
And Your glory to their children.
17 And let the beauty of the Lord our God be upon us,
And establish the work of our hands for us;
Yes, establish the work of our hands.
Psalm 91:1-16
Safety of Abiding in the Presence of God
1 He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High
Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
2 I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress;
My God, in Him I will trust.”
3 Surely He shall deliver you from the snare of the fowler
And from the perilous pestilence.
4 He shall cover you with His feathers,
And under His wings you shall take refuge;
His truth shall be your shield and buckler.
5 You shall not be afraid of the terror by night,
Nor of the arrow that flies by day,
6 Nor of the pestilence that walks in darkness,
Nor of the destruction that lays waste at noonday.
7 A thousand may fall at your side,
And ten thousand at your right hand;
But it shall not come near you.
8 Only with your eyes shall you look,
And see the reward of the wicked.
9 Because you have made the Lord, who is my refuge,
Even the Most High, your dwelling place,
10 No evil shall befall you,
Nor shall any plague come near your dwelling;
11 For He shall give His angels charge over you,
To keep you in all your ways.
12 In their hands they shall bear you up,
Lest you dash your foot against a stone.
13 You shall tread upon the lion and the cobra,
The young lion and the serpent you shall trample underfoot.
14 “Because he has set his love upon Me, therefore I will deliver him;
I will set him on high, because he has known My name.
15 He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him;
I will be with him in trouble;
I will deliver him and honor him.
16 With long life I will satisfy him,
And show him My salvation.”
Right. Scratch the shooting part. They will be armed with flowers and leftists talking points by the time the Democrats are done.
I asked for Gen. Casey’s resignation earlier when he declared diversity a more important mission than force protection. Today Secretary McHugh can just go to Hell.
.
What Prez hasn’t brought their own?
I hate the thought that CAIR and other Muslim groups now know that they can win with their fussing even at the level of our highest military HQ-the Pentagon.
No Muslim should have MORE RIGHT than a Christain in this land of ours. EVER!
He is a Marxist. No question about that.
What is a Fascist? The long definition is a government that takes over industry but keeps the management in place but calling the shots from behind the scene.
Look at the banks, GM, how the insurance industry is going, the health industry and soon to be Wall Street. That certainly fits the definition of Fascism.
He is now posing as a Fascist because BIG BIG industry actually likes the government and readily works with them because it makes it impossible for the little guy to take business from them.
Had we had a Fascist government 20 years ago, IBM would till be running on DOS and there would be no MicroSoft, just to make one example.
Also no Hewlett Packard or Apple.
That is why Krupp and Siemans joined up with the Nazi party.
But Obummer, the Marxist now posing as a Fascist, is a different guy. Once he gets everyone under his thumb, he will kick the big guys under the bus and take over those industries with government employees, the likes of the people running the EPA, the Post Office, the National Park Service, etc.
2 Chronicles 15:2b:
“The LORD is with you when you are with him. If you seek him, he will be found by you, but if you forsake him, he will forsake you.”
Our nation is in unchartered territory. Stories such as this show that our leadership is turning and has turned away for the living God who gifted us with this county. Lest there is repentance, prayer and answered intervention by the Lord Himself, we are to live in woes.
Warehouse full of shoeboxes to be sent to the poor and needy for Christmas. Care of Samaritan's Purse, Franklin's organization.
When has "CAIR" ever 'cared' enough to put a smile on a little child's face like this?
Matthew 25:40: "And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me."
---The Army has it all wrong here. And yes, every Muslim on earth needs Jesus Christ.
Ditto, bump and you’re totally on target.
I asked for Gen. Casey’s resignation earlier when he announced that diversity was a more important mission than force protection.
Gen. Casey’s statement must have made our enemies jump and shout with joy.
