THE WRATH OF GOD

August 14, 2013 By Pastor David Stone

I’m sure it seems strange to some folks when they hear talk about rejoicing in God’s wrath— after all its awful. For those upon whom it comes it is painful beyond description. Yet I contend that even in this we have reason to rejoice— but not everyone would agree. It’s evident that some people, “Just don’t get it”. While preaching about the wrath of God last week, I closed the message with this fourth point–“Our Delight In It Is Defensible”. Then I mentioned three reasons why we ought to rejoice over God’s wrath: (1) The Deliverance we experience, (2) The Display of God’s perfection it expresses, and (3) The Destruction of God’s enemies. Unlike the Psalmist ( 21:8-13) it is evident that that some folks don’t get the picture. It’s as if they resent the thought of God’s judgement of evil-doers. So, maybe we need to think more deeply about this. I’m convinced that if we ever see the picture clearly we will see a reason to rejoice even in the dreadful thought of God’s wrath.

Should we not rejoice over the fact that God’s plan shall be carried out, His promises shall be fulfilled, and peace will be established? In that great day of His wrath, He shall right all wrongs, remove all wickedness, and restore all of creation to its former glory before sin brought Gods curse down upon us? Have we forgotten that that God is holy and just, which makes His wrath essential? Romans 11:22 tells us to, “Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God”. Our theology is to be balanced, so as to give consideration to God’s wrath as well as His love. Believe it or not, the better we understand the wrath of God the more we will appreciate the grace of God.

In these troublesome times in which we live we would do well to remember that God is sovereign– He does as He pleases and it is always perfect. Realizing that God causes or allows everything that happens enables us to keep things in their proper perspective. Contrary to the way things seem, God is in control. Nothing escapes His notice and nothing happens without His permission. It is thrilling to know that He who lacks no power and makes no mistake is running the universe. As up-side-down as it is, one day God will turn this world right-side-up. Between now and then there is no telling what horrible things will happen. But, although we can’t stop it , we know how it all shall end. And that’s the day we’re waiting for.

This present evil world is bad and getting worse. We can’t control it and we can’t change it, but we can “stay calm and carry on”, knowing God’s grace will keep us until the day that He delivers us entirely. Our hope is not in the promises of the politicians, the tools of technology, the efforts of ecology, the principles of psychology, or the might of our military. Our hope is in the righteous wrath of God who will stamp out all wickedness and establish an everlasting kingdom wherein all things are perfect. And because He is “just and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus” (Romans 3:26) we are a part of that glorious kingdom! How can you not rejoice in that? Should we not sing with the Psalmist, “Be thou exalted, LORD, in thine own strength: so will we sing and praise thy power”(Psalm 21:13)? Think about it!

THE SMARTEST STATE

Proactive State Dealing with Illegal Aliens

Posted on July 27, 2013 by Bob Griffin 
[Taken from: “The Ozarks Sentinel” Editorial Page; interesting thoughts on a
controversial subject]

Is Missouri the “smartest state in the union” since it has no illegal’s? And
folks around America are asking, “Shouldn’t MY state do the same?”

Missouri’s approach to the problem of illegal immigration appears to be more
advanced, sophisticated, strict and effective than anything to date in
Arizona . Does the White House appreciate what Missouri has done? So, why
doesn’t Missouri receive attention? Answer: There are no illegal’s in
Missouri to demonstrate.

The “Show Me” state has again shown us how it should be done. There needs to
be more publicity and exposure regarding what Missouri has done. Please pass
this around.

In 2007, Missouri placed on the ballot a proposed constitutional amendment
designating English as the official language of Missouri . In November,
2008, nearly 90% voted in favor! Thus, English became the official language
for ALL governmental activity in Missouri. No individual has the right to
demand government services in a language OTHER than English.

In 2008, a measure was passed that required the Missouri Highway Patrol and
other law enforcement officials to verify the immigration status of any
person arrested, and inform federal authorities if the person is found to be
in Missouri illegally. Missouri law enforcement officers receive specific
training with respect to enforcement of federal immigration laws.

In Missouri , illegal immigrants DO NOT have access to taxpayer benefits
such as food stamps or health care through Missouri Health NET. In 2009, a
measure was passed that ensures Missouri’s public institutions of higher
education DO NOT award financial aid to individuals who are illegally in the
United States.

In Missouri, all post-secondary institutions of higher education to annually
certify to the Missouri Dept. Of Higher Education that they have NOT
knowingly awarded financial aid to students who are unlawfully present in
the United States.

So, while Arizona has made national news for its new law, it is important to
remember, Missouri has been far more proactive in addressing this horrific
problem. Missouri has made it clear that illegal immigrants are NOT welcome
in the state. They are criminals and they will certainly NOT receive public
benefits at the expense of Missouri taxpayers.

[I forwarded this to my Wyoming rep and senator for our state to “get on
board” with treating criminals as criminals, not pampered guests.]

BLACK AMERICAN’S TRUE NEMESIS

July 27, 2013 By Pastor David Stone

Black America’s True Nemesis: Liberals, Not Zimmerman

In the midst of all the racial hullabaloo stirred up by so-called advocates for black empowerment after the Zimmerman trail, guess who is really being harmed?  Answer: black America.

All of you black pastors, black politicians, and black celebs who have joined Sharpton and the MSM’s lynch mob to “get Zimmerman” should be ashamed of yourselves.  You are doing a huge disservice to the very people you claim to champion by chasing a straw man while ignoring the real issues that are devastating black America.


Everyone knows that the black community is a mess.  White folks ain’t killin’ us.  We are killing each other.  Over 70 and increasing percent of black kids grow up in fatherless homes.  Researchers warn that we blacks are aborting ourselves into extinction.  Black school dropout rates are at epidemic levels.  Fatherless households and school dropouts fuel through the roof high black unemployment, gangs, and incarcerations.


And yet, all of you so-called defenders of black America are hell-bent on destroying the life of one Hispanic for defending himself.  Displaying remarkable evil intent, the MSM launched a false narrative filled with lies about the incident, not giving a darn about the consequences, like loss of property and lives.


To strengthen their “America is racist” storyline the MSM creatively called Zimmerman a “white Hispanic.”  The MSM edited Zimmerman’s 911 call to make him sound racist.  To gin up black rage, the MSM promoted a photo of Martin as an innocent 12-year-old rather than the 17-year-old 6’2″-160-lb. thug he was at the time of the incident.  Yes, Martin’s history documents that he was a thug.

 

By the way, black activists saying that the jury declaring Zimmerman not guilty means that it is open season on young black men is pure evil race-baiting crap.  Statistically, blacks are 50 times more likely to assault whites than vice-versa.

 

You black avengers should be totally outraged that CNN’s white liberal host Piers Morgan presented Rachel Jeantel’s ignorant ghetto language as representative of how we speak in the black community.  Morgan called Jeantel “one smart cookie,” and you knuckleheads probably consider Morgan and his condescending fellow white liberals our friends.


Please forgive my use of “knuckleheads.”  I just find it extremely frustrating that liberals continue to urinate on blacks and tell us it is the Republicans’ fault…and we fall for it.  Liberal pandering has destroyed the black family and continues to wreak havoc in the black community — and my fellow blacks cannot see it.  They continue to kiss white liberals’ derrieres.  Yes, I am frustrated.

 

In the eyes of a relative of mine, her son could do no wrong.  She created a spoiled brat who grew up to be a jerk — no self-discipline or respect for authority.  His personal relationships were disasters.  He could not keep a job.  He died young.  While I believe that everyone is ultimately responsible for his own behavior, this boy’s mom’s lack of parenting contributed to his demise.


Folks, this is exactly what liberal black leaders and liberal whites having been doing to blacks: refusing to hold us accountable for destructive behavior and making excuses for us.

 

Real compassion is honestly dealing with the issues plaguing the black community rather than so-called advocates (Democrats and the MSM) using our dysfunction for their political and financial gain.

 

All of you black celebs and black politicians demanding Zimmerman’s head on a platter make mega-millions of dollars a year.  With blacks being only 12% of the population, you would not be who you are without white support.  Thus, your accusation that America is hostile towards black males is absurd, racist, and worst of all, discouraging to young blacks.

 

America is the greatest land of opportunity on the planet for all who choose to go for it.  Period!  End of subject!


Black advocates indulging blacks in irresponsible self-destructive behavior serve only to undermine black progress, creating spoiled, entitlement-minded, undisciplined, hopeless, and angry black youths.  Do you guys not see the disservice you are doing to your own people?  It is the same as bad parenting.

 

But here is what is truly sad and frustrating: every word in this article is true, and yet, liberals, black and white, will read it and seek to silence, punish, and destroy me.  They’ll call me a traitorous sellout, an Uncle Tom, and a self-loathing stupid N-word.

 

Meanwhile, liberals’ exploitation will further the decline and suffering of black America.  Race-hustling ambulance-chasers like Sharpton will continue seeking opportunities to extort a buck and increase their political power.  Liberals will continue treating us blacks like inferior idiots, demanding lowered standards and expectations.  Lord, help us.

 

Black males will continue killing each other over the slightest dis.  That 70% rate of black out-of-wed births and fatherless homes will continue rising, along with school dropouts, abortions, unemployment, and incarcerations.  And blacks will continue rewarding liberal Democrats with almost 100% of their vote.


In keeping with liberals’ lowering the bar for blacks, Rachel Jeantel will probably get her own reality TV show.  Millions of black youths will be able to learn “new school,” as Rachel described it, black language — “creepy ass cracka” and “nigga.”  I wonder what her TV show will be titled.  “Rachel Jeantel: She Be All Dat”?


Go ahead and accuse me of not being down with authentic blackness or of being a traitor to my race if you want to, but I will not be tuning into Rachel’s show.


Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., who inspired black excellence, must be turning over in his grave.

CELEB COMMENTS

July 15, 2013 By Pastor David Stone

The headline said, “Celebs react to Zimmerman verdict”. My first response was,”Who cares!”. My second thought was,”Far too many”. The views of multitudes are swayed and formed by what these people think. And that’s a problem. As a whole they are the most liberal and morally bankrupt people in society. You can bet that their opinions will be wrong nearly every time. I get sick and tired of watching “Celebs” being treated as heroes and looked upon as experts. Being a talented actor, athlete, etc. doesn’t make a person wiser or better– chances are, just the opposite is true. “Thou shalt not follow a multitude to do evil–“(Ex. 23:2) is still good advice.

WORDS TO REMEMBER

July 3, 2013 By Pastor David Stone

On July 3, 1776, following the signing of the Declaration of Independence, John Adams reflected on that important day.

The second day of July 1776 will be the most memorable epoch in the history of America. I am apt to believe that it will be celebrated by succeeding generations as the great anniversary festival. It ought to be commemorated as the day of deliverance, by solemn acts of devotion to God Almighty. It ought to be solemnized with pomp and parade, with shows, games, sports, guns, bells, bonfires, and illuminations, from one end of this continent to the other, from this time forward forever.

You will think me transported with enthusiasm, but I am not. I am well aware of the toil and blood and treasure that it will cost to maintain this Declaration and support and defend these States. Yet through all the gloom I can see the rays of ravishing light and glory. I can see that the end is worth more than all the means; that posterity will triumph in that day’s transaction, even though we [may regret] it, which I trust in God we shall not.
