Responsible Voting!

Who should we as Christians vote for in the mid-term election of Congress?

What are the track records of the candidates and which of them most favor biblical values?

Below is info taken directly from the folks at "The Pray In Jesus Name Project" where they have gathered all of this information and put it together for you so that you may make an informed decision about your vote. We all saw what happened with the last presidential election when the majority makes an misinformed decision. I'm still not even sure if we really know who our president is or where he came from....?

Fortunately, we do not have to repeat the mistakes of 2008. Please find your state below and click on the link. Also, remember to look at Page 2 (required by all 50 states). Print these documents. Pass them out to your friends, family, church, and community. You could even email the info or the web address to this page. Many people don't have this wealth of information about the candidates and could benefit from having it.

Also, please consider donating to "The Pray In Jesus Name Project". I don't work for them nor do I receive any money from them, but I do endorse their work and ask God to bless them.

Let's "Shock and Awe" Pelosi and Reid -- Fax Voter Guides to 125K Pastors

Breaking News: The Pray In Jesus Name Project has found a way to help the faith-based community take back Congress this fall, by mobilizing 125,000 patriot pastors to "get out the church vote."  But we need your help here. Former Navy Chaplain Gordon James Klingenschmitt is planning to fax up to 125,000 conservative pastors willing to receive FREE VOTER GUIDES, which are now being printed for all 50 states.

These voter guides are non-partisan, and neither endorse nor oppose any candidate for office, they simply report factually the votes of all incumbent Congressmen and Senators on three to seven key issues that are important to Christian people. The IRS has specifically authorized both churches and 501c3 organizations to distribute non-partisan voter guides like ours, so long as they only report facts such as "how Congress voted" without substantial editorial comment. An example voter guide is can be found here.

In the next three weeks, IF ENOUGH CITIZENS PLEASE DONATE to buy subscriptions for every pastor in their own state (at just 29 cents per pastor, far less than postage!), we will fax real voter guides on real paper to thousands of churches, preparing those pastors to lead their churches to vote at the ballot box on November 2nd, 2010. Our fax machines are loaded and ready to blast nationwide. But we cannot proceed without funds.  How many pastors can you sponsor with a donated subscription? The voter guides are free, but it will cost us up to $36,250 to properly distribute them to real pastors on real paper. How many churches can you sponsor? What small or large amount can you pitch in?
SELECT HERE TO DONATE A FREE SUBSCRIPTION TO 100 or 1000 PASTORS IN YOUR STATE, AND WE WILL FAX NON-PARTISAN VOTER GUIDES RIGHT AWAY!

Please join me in prayer:

Father in Heaven,

Please bless the folks of "The Pray In Jesus Name Project" for this fine work that they have conducted. May the results of their work glorify and honor you, and place people who will glorify and honor you into our Congress. May your will be done and may your kingdom come on earth as it is in Heaven. In Jesus name we pray these things and for His sake.

Amen.

How To Be Saved!

The purpose of this blog is to inform people of occurring events in the world that are relevant and support bible prophecy in accordance with Ezekiel, Chapter 33, Verses 2-6. I have been attentively watching world events for quite some time, and I am convinced that every prophecy in the bible is absolutely 100% accurate. Knowing that, I can say, without any doubt, that all currently unfulfilled bible prophecy will in fact happen--including the imminent return of Jesus, the Son of God, to take those who believe in Him at the time of the rapture.

Having closely watched world events for years, I can see that there is not much time left before the return of Jesus becomes a reality. I cannot stress enough that everything is coming together just as God said it would and as it is documented in the Holy Bible--Old and New Testaments. This also means that I firmly believe that the Tribulation ("Jacob's Trouble") is swiftly coming upon this world also. If you do not believe in Jesus as the Son of God, then your time is slipping away just as quickly...

...BUT YOU HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO CHANGE THAT!

Sinner's Prayer? That's Not For Me - I'm Not a Sinner!

"Sinner" is a word that gets a bad rap these days - and well it should. Unfortunately, the bad rap it is getting is for the wrong reasons. Confronted with our shortcomings, we are quick to defend ourselves with words like, "I'm not a sinner! I don't go around sinning! I've never murdered anyone or anything like that!" The problem is, we don't really know what the word sin means. We think it only applies to some despicable act that repulses "church people" who want to hang big scarlet letters around our necks. But sin simply means to miss the mark; to fall short of the goal. The fact is, we are all sinners, for there is no one, save Christ alone, who has lived a life that did not in some way fall short of the perfection God requires. We all deserve to pay the penalty for that sin, which is to spend eternity in hell.

Sinner's Prayer - What the Bible Says About Sin

Sin, according to the Bible, is any action that violates the law given by God in the Ten Commandments. The law was given by God to show us what it means to live a life deserving of God's love. It was also given to show us that none of us can live that kind of life. God knew that in advance, and that is why He sent His Son Jesus to be that perfect life for us. Jesus, God in human flesh, voluntarily laid aside His God-hood to connect with us, to show us He understands us and to give us a way to be reconciled to the Father, since none of us can keep the law to its letter. "For all have sinned, and fall short of the glory of God" (Romans 3:23).

Some say that sin is two letters, "s" and "n", with "I" in the middle. We elevate ourselves, and certainly we live in a time when that thinking is being promoted. Sin may be something we can't be free of, but the good news is we can be free of its penalty. "For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord" (Romans 6:23)

Sinner's Prayer - Become a Sinner Saved by Grace!

What's the key to the Sinner's Prayer? As long as we are content to live in sin, the Bible says we are separated from God. That condition may seem fine for a while, but it ultimately leads to misery and then to eternal separation from God. "There is a way that seems right to a man, But its end is the way of death." (Proverbs 16:25). The good news is that God Himself has made a way for us to be reconciled to Him, and He has done this through His Son, Jesus Christ (Romans 5:6-15).

What about you? Are you content to live for yourself, get the most toys, and die anyway? Or do you want a life of purpose and hope? God, the One who created you, has a purpose for your life and wants to give you a new beginning. If you are ready to admit your need for a clean slate in life, the God of second chances is waiting to give it to you. All you have to do is start with the Sinner's Prayer.

Sinner's Prayer - Recognizing the Need

The "Sinner's Prayer" is a term that describes the words spoken by a person when he or she has recognized their sin and their need for a relationship with God through Jesus Christ. It goes something like this:

“Father, I know that I have broken your laws and my sins have separated me from you. I am truly sorry, and now I want to turn away from my past sinful life toward you. Please forgive me, and help me avoid sinning again. I believe that your son, Jesus Christ died for my sins, was resurrected from the dead, is alive, and hears my prayer. I invite Jesus to become the Lord of my life, to rule and reign in my heart from this day forward. Please send your Holy Spirit to help me obey You, and to do Your will for the rest of my life. In Jesus' name I pray, Amen.”

If you decided to repent of your sins and receive Christ today, welcome to God's family. Now, as a way to grow closer to Him, the Bible tells us to follow up on our commitment.

* Get baptized as commanded by Christ.
* Tell someone else about your new faith in Christ.
* Spend time with God each day. It does not have to be a long period of time. Just develop the daily habit of praying to Him and reading His Word. Ask God to increase your faith and your understanding of the Bible.
* Seek fellowship with other followers of Jesus. Develop a group of believing friends to answer your questions and support you.
* Find a local church where you can worship God.

Thank-you, and may Jesus bless you.
