A NEW FACE

Today, a new face is immediately thought to mean "a face lift," which is so common among media people that we expect it. It's part of the facade. It's not a bad thing, the camera can be harsh, but it does perpetuate an illusion that a career, a political office, an empire can be eternal. This means, the thinking person is continually called to make a judgment between what is temporary and what will last.

Since we never watch "the President's back pocket" called NBC Network, by chance, we came across a program there called "A Face in the Crowd," which I recommend anyone to watch on your computer. It is the real life story of the world's first complete FACE TRANSPLANT.  Yes, I did say face transplant.  We followed this gripping story from the first day when a young man who loves hunting had an accident that blew off his face from his eyes down. After several years of surgical attempts to do "something" the young man withdrew from society, became a recluse and considered life over for him. He only went out with a "bandit scarf" over his face from the eyes down, which was problematic and only further destroyed his quality of life.

Meanwhile, the Rodriguez family escaped from Cuba to America, determined to give their children a chance at life. Everything came hard for them, and one of their sons, Eduardo determined to make his life count in medicine. He became a surgeon, and through what he calls "a miracle," (in the Biblical sense), he agreed to attempt a complete face transplant, that would help the military men and women who are coming home with varying degrees of facial deformities. A total transplant had never been done! The chance of success was 50/50. The chance the recepient would die was 50/50. The search went out for a doner (who would have to die to donate his face) and at the same time be a perfect match (in every respect)  with the recepient who needed the face!

 Years went by, medical teams assembled and waited, then one day the perfect match came together.
Watch the story and see the unfolding miracle. Knowing the risk, Richard Norris, now 38 years old immediately responded, saying if he did not live others might;  the parents of the young man who had just been killed said "yes, this is what their son would want,"  and Dr. Rodriguez laid everything on the line, prayed and went to work. 33 hours later, exhausted, the teams fixed their eyes on their unconscious patient. Would the nerves connect? Would the blood flow into the transplant. They waited, and gradually the new face of Richard Norris began to turn pink, beginning with his lips.

"There was not a dry eye in the place," said Dr. Rodriguez. "I was scared. It was a miracle."

When asked why he called it a miracle the doctor replied, "Because the number of intricate details that had to come together for this to happen were beyond human."

Today it is popular to diminish the possibility of God. Atheists are considered too intellectual for faith. The Judeo-Christian Bible is looked upon as archaic and irrelevant, although it is the most verified ancient manuscript in existence (having over 23,000 pieces of extant manuscript. No other writings even come close.) Christians are being massacred in many parts of the world because of their faith, and they are being pushed out of the Marketplace in the arrogant Western World, because they are so intellectually inferior.

Consider this: The world's first complete facial transplant were led by a Christian doctor who risked everything, two Christian families who gave everything, and a Christian recepient who was willing to risk his life to help others. 

 As I watched this story, I heard the following:  " A new face for the soul is what God wants to give every person who has been marred by the tragedies of life, all who will surrender for the spiritual transplant can be made handsome/ beautiful by His touch for eternity!"

CAUSE FOR CELEBRATION?

Some of the more notable New York City Church bells rang for 45 minutes, ushering in the decision of the Highly Exalted, Transcendent and Most Supreme Court of America - to override the will of the people of California, violate the Constitution, and grant the most reverent right of marriage to same sex, transgender, cross-dressers, sex in the ear, underarm, and with your door knob - while we all sing "Because of Love."
Can't wait 'till the Most Holy Supreme Court sits down on Mount Zaphon and declares that people who love their pets should also be included in this menagerie. For love of  pets, Medicine is sure to make this simple transition possible - They could be called ANIPEOPLE!

In case anyone is still interested, the Biblical definition of love doesn't even come close to the distorted, diseased riddled concoction we wallow in today.  "BY THIS WE KNOW WE LOVE THE CHILDREN OF GOD, WHEN WE LOVE GOD AND OBEY HIS COMMANDMENTS."
(1John 5:2)  Love is not sick, confused, abberant, or defiant of God's intelligence when He made creation. Male and Female are the foundation of all created things - postive/negative is the only way to continue life.

I sat with a friend from Uganda who said, "No country in Africa condones Homosexuality. They will kill you!" Hmmm. I wonder if the President bragged about his big successes with the Supemely Exalted Court on his 100 Million dollars trip to Africa!  Oh well, the American church congratulated him sufficiently!  

 If you wonder what is wrong in America - the answser is SIN.  The solution is repentance, that is a return to God and God sanity recorded in the most sane book on the planet!

More later.

EXODUS to the INFERNO?

Alan Chambers, CEO of EXODUS INT'L,  published his latest decision to reverse the mission of EXODUS - which was to support homoxexuals, transvites, etc. who wanted to come out of their lifestyle. According to Mr. Chamber's apology, he will spend the rest of his life trying to help homosexuals realize that their behavior is just as valid as biblical sexual intimacy - that the homosexual family is equal to any other family form, and he begs their forgiveness and will work to prove his love for them.

Every American either has friends or family members who have become addicted to immorality. They live for the "sexual fix."  Certainly I have those in my circle.  Do I love them? Yes.  Do I renounce the clear word of God on the subject, and comfort them that their lifestyle is accepted by God? No.  I am not God, I did not dictate His word, and therefore, if I am going to follow God I cannot afford to deliberately diviate from what He determins acceptable. I am an author of numerous books. I can and do rewrites on older books from time to time. New insights come that merit a rewrite, but God does not rewrites. It is what it is, and not one "jot or title" will ever be altered for eternity. He got it right in the first draft!

There are many intellectual and scientific reasons for the word of God never changing. which I may address at another time - the universe is "held together by the word of God."  Sin dismantles life. But the point is not what sin does scientifically the universe, God wants compliance (obedience) to His word based on our love for Him. If He had only desired obedience, He would have made robots. God wants a relationship that is based in love, and built on dependable commitment.  SO....

Isn't love, what Mr. Chambers new decision all about?  Not according to God's opinion and word on the matter. GOD IS LOVE.  At best, humanity outside of God gets "fuzzy feelings" that they may or may not hold on to.  Real love is well defined by God. Remember "If we receive the testimony of men, the testimony of God is greater..."( I John 5:9)  This means that what men say about love is superceded by what God says about love.  But aren't we told to "Love one another?"  Read again:

"BY THIS WE KNOW THAT WE LOVE THE CHILDREN OF GOD, WHEN WE LOVE GOD AND OBEY HIS COMMANDMENTS. FOR THIS IS THE LOVE OF GOD, THAT WE KEEP HIS COMMANDMENTS."  (I John 5:3)

Real love is to keep the word of God. It is impossible to love people and encourage them in their sin. That is an oxymoron. The church has allowed the world system to dictate hate under the guise of love: "Thou shalt agree with and comfort those in sin and rebellion to my word, therefore insuring they will be lost for eternity?"  Insanity!  Real Love is not based on moral compromise that ignores or denies the word of God, and keeps the eternal soul bound forever.  Repentance is beautiful.  It is love at it finest. It says, no matter how deep or dark the sin, God has a cure!  Repent - change to God's ways and live!

For all of us it is either Exodus from sin, or life in the Inferno!  And that is great news, because it is TRUTH!

 

       

Hitler's Children

I just finished viewing a sobering documentary entitled "Hitler's Children." Most people in the West recognize Hitler's Men - those top advisers who brilliance engineered the death of 56 million people - Goering, Himmler, Frank, Hoess, Goeth, but what about the families, the children and grandchildren of those men who had to face the next generation? Some changed their names, moved to other countries, and have lived their lives wrestling with  anger, shame, guilt, and some of life's deepest questions still unanswered. Families broke apart, some are reaching out to the Jews, others have written books trying to distance their lives from the atorcities caused by a grandfather or grandmother they should . As one of the children stated, "I know the Ten Commandments, 'Thou shalt honor thy father and mother,' but my brother and I were both abandoned by our parents, who chose to serve Hitler, and I cannot think of one thing they ever did that deserves honor."

  As I watched tears of the soul falling from both men and women, I realized once again that this generation is repeating the same mistake as the generation of WWII.  "Why didn't the German's do something about Hitler?" For the same reason we do not stop aggression today. Compromise is so much easier than risking our shiney black boots, brass buttons and intimidating march toward dominance over the masses.  We all see the signs. They are growing louder each day, but the cost of standing up and saying "No More!" at this point, would cost.  Plate glass windows would fall in every city, and people would die before the anger surrendered to rational thinking and the lie gave way to the truth.

Every generation allows the Hitlers and Stalins to come to power because we tell ourselves that appeasement will work this time. Accomodate Sharia Law and we will have peace. But Isaiah (26:10)warned almost 3,000 years ago that, "If favor is shown to the wicked, he does not learn righteousness, in the land of uprigthtness he deals curruptly and does not see the majesty of the Lord." 

Sharia Law is a crime against humanity. Shame on us who are turning over our children to this cruel system, under the pretense that compromise with Sharia is civil rights. Sharia is neither civil nor right!  In 1400 years, it has never brought anything but cruel domination, subjugation and great bloodshed. What will our children and grandchildren say of us if we do nothing protect them? Will they look for something "good" we did, but find nothing?

And neither can the Church hide behind the lame excuse of "love."  Jesus said, "If the Good Man of the house had know in what watch the thief would come, he would not have suffered his house to be broken up."  Wake up America! Wake up England! Wake up Western World! How can we allow a government to rule us that sacrifices our children, born and unborn, and sells us to a cruel, radical civilizational system of law that eats justice for dessert? When will we demand an account? The fingers of the next generation are already pointing at us! Both God and people are looking for someone with courage! (Watch my documentary "Because They Believed."  It's about to be repeated in the not too distant future. People of TN please make Gov Haslam aware of this documentary)  http://vimeo.com/41181067
