Psalm 19:12-14

How can I know all the sins lurking in my heart?
Cleanse me from these hidden faults.
Keep your servant from deliberate sins!
Don’t let them control me.
Then I will be free of guilt
and innocent of great sin.
May the words of my mouth
and the meditation of my heart
be pleasing to you,
O Lord, my rock and my redeemer.

The Necessity of the Atonement

In no case, by no means can sin be pardoned without atonement. It is clear, then, that there is no hope for me out of Christ; for there is no other blood-shedding which is worth a thought as an atonement for sin.

Am I, then, believing in him?
Is the blood of his atonement truly applied to my soul?

All men are on a level as to their need of him. If we be never so moral, generous, amiable, or patriotic, the rule will not be altered to make an exception for us. Sin will yield to nothing less potent than the blood of him whom God hath set forth as a propitiation. What a blessing that there is the one way of pardon! Why should we seek another?

On how to rehearse for death and how to diminish fear

TO MARY WILLIS SHELBURNE: On how to rehearse for death and how to diminish fear.

17 June 1963

Pain is terrible, but surely you need not have fear as well? Can you not see death as the friend and deliverer? It means stripping off that body which is tormenting you: like taking off a hair- shirt or getting out of a dungeon. What is there to be afraid of? You have long attempted (and none of us does more) a Christian life. Your sins are confessed and absolved. Has this world been so kind to you that you should leave it with regret? There are better things ahead than any we leave behind.

Remember, though we struggle against things because we are afraid of them, it is often the other way round—we get afraid because we struggle. Are you struggling, resisting? Don’t you think Our Lord says to you ‘Peace, child, peace. Relax. Let go. Underneath are the everlasting arms. Let go, I will catch you. Do you trust me so little?’

That Which Needs Changing

If you do not take the distinction between good and bad very seriously, then it is easy to say that anything you find in this world is a part of God. But, of course, if you think some things really bad, and God really good, then you cannot talk like that. You must believe that God is separate from the world and that some of the things we see in it are contrary to His will. Confronted with a cancer or a slum the Pantheist can say, ‘If you could only see it from the divine point of view, you would realise that this also is God.’ The Christian replies, ‘Don’t talk damned nonsense.’ For Christianity is a fighting religion. It thinks God made the world—that space and time, heat and cold, and all the colours and tastes, and all the animals and vegetables, are things that God ‘made up out of His head’ as a man makes up a story. But it also thinks that a great many things have gone wrong with the world that God made and that God insists, and insists very loudly, on our putting them right again.

Work While You Wait

Great concept of delayed gratification.

We tell them all the time, you’ve got to work while you wait. Most people, in their personal life, they stop working until the door opens, and then they want to work again now that the door is open. But in this profession you’ve got to work while you wait.”

Gun Problem or Something Else?

The answer to the so called gun problem ……..IT IS Who Has the Guns


This may explain why there has never been an attempt on Obama. 

In 1865 a Democrat shot and killed Abraham Lincoln, President of the United States. 

In 1881 a left wing radical Democrat shot James Garfield, President of the United States, who later died from the wound. 

In 1963 a radical left wing socialist shot and killed John F. Kennedy, President of the United States. 

In 1975 a left wing radical Democrat fired shots at Gerald Ford, President of the United States. 

In 1983 a registered Democrat shot and wounded Ronald Reagan, President of the United States. 

In 1984 James Hubert, a disgruntled Democrat, shot and killed 22 people in a McDonalds restaurant. 

In 1986 Patrick Sherrill, a disgruntled Democrat, shot and killed 15 people in an Oklahoma post office.

In 1990 James Pough, a disgruntled Democrat, shot and killed 10 people at a GMAC office. 

In 1991 George Hennard, a disgruntled Democrat, shot and killed 23 people in a Luby's cafeteria in Killeen, TX. 

In 1995 James Daniel Simpson, a disgruntled Democrat, shot and killed 5 coworkers in a Texas laboratory. 

In 1999 Larry Asbrook, a disgruntled Democrat, shot and killed 8 people at a church service. 

In 2001 a left wing radical Democrat fired shots at the White House in a failed attempt to kill George W. Bush, President of the US. 

In 2003 Douglas Williams, a disgruntled Democrat, shot and killed 7 people at a Lockheed Martin plant. 

In 2007 a registered Democrat named Seung Hui Cho, shot and killed 32 people in Virginia Tech. 

In 2010 a mentally ill registered Democrat named Jared Lee Loughner, shot Rep. Gabrielle Giffords and killed 6 others. 

In 2011 a registered Democrat named James Holmes, went into a movie theater and shot and killed 12 people. 

In 2012 Andrew Engeldinger, a disgruntled Democrat, shot and killed 7 people in Minneapolis. 

In 2013 a registered Democrat named Adam Lanza, shot and killed 26 people in a school in Newtown, CT. 

As recently as Sept 2013, an angry Democrat shot 12 at a Navy ship yard.

Clearly, there is a problem with Democrats and guns. 

Not one NRA member, Tea Party member, or Republican conservative was involved in any of these shootings and murders. 

SOLUTION: 
It should be illegal for Democrats to own guns. Then If the communist liberal gun grabbers really wanted to do something about public safety as the say then all they would have to do is disarm all the illegal immigrant Hispanic gangs and all the black gangs in the big cities. This would fix 90% of the so called gun violence problem, instead of piling more restrictive gun laws on the law abiding citizen that are armed because of the aforementioned THUGS.
