HE SAVED A WRETCH LIKE ME

I WAS WRETCHED, FOUL, FILTHY, FULL OF HATE AND SELF PITY.
I WAS A LIAR, A THIEF AND WHOREMONGER.
I WAS ADDICTED TO ALCOHOL, MARIJUANA AND PORNOGRAPHY.
FOR 30 YEARS I EXISTED; TRYING TO FIND HAPPINESS, SATISFACTION
IN MY ACTIVITIES. THOSE MOMENTS OF HAPPINESS WERE BRIEF, MERELY
DISTRACTIONS FROM THE TRUTH...
THE TRUTH WAS THAT I WAS BORN IN SIN, SHAPED IN INIQUITY.
THE THINGS THAT I WAS DOING WERE IN MY NATURE............BUT I WAS
UNHAPPY, ASHAMED, MISERABLE. I HATED MYSELF. HOW COULD THAT BE?
HOW COULD I CHANGE THIS NATURE? HOW COULD I ESCAPE?
THIS CONDITION THAT I WAS IN WAS NOT MEANT TO BE. BECAUSE OF
SOMEONE ELSES' SIN (ADAMS), I WAS CONDENMED TO THIS MISERABLE FATE,
DESTINED TO DIE AND SPEND ETERNITY IN HELL, SEPARATED FROM THE GOD
WHO CREATED ME.
THEN A MAN NAMED JESUS WAS BORN TO A VIRGIN, A WOMAN NAMED MARY.
JESUS WAS MORE THAN A MAN HOWEVER; HE WAS FILLED WITH THE SPIRIT
OF GOD.
HE WAS SENT TO UNDO WHAT ADAM DID. GOD SENT JESUS TO LIFT THE
DEATH SENTENCE THAT I WAS UNDER, AND THROUGH HIM MY WRETCHED
NATURE COULD BE CHANGED.
JESUS DIED ON THAT CROSS AT CALVERY TO PAY THAT PENALTY (FOR ME)
AND ROSE AGAIN TO LIFE SO THAT I MAY LIVE THROUGH HIM AND BECAUSE
OF HIM.....
ALL I HAD TO DO WAS CONFESS MY SINS TO HIM AND ASK HIM TO COME INTO
MY HEART AND HE DID.
NOW, EVERY DAY I'M LEARNING TO BE MORE LIKE HIM; SHEDDING THE OLD
NATURE BIT BY BIT,DAY BY DAY.
I GIVE PRAISE, THANKS AND GLORY TO THE LORD FOR 10 YEARS OF
SOBRIETY AND CELIBACY.

IS HE A FRIEND OF ISRAEL?

RECENTLY, THE  U.S. SECRETARY OF STATE, JOHN KERRY, WHO SERVED IN VIET NAM, WAS HEARD IN AN "OFF MIC" CONVERSATION CRITICIZING ISRAEL. THIS OCCURED DURING THE LATEST ROUND OF "PEACE" TALKS BETWEEN ISRAEL AND THE PALESTINIANS. AS YOU MAY HAVE HEARD, THE TALKS ARE NOT GOING WELL. MR KERRYS GIANT EGO WAS OFFENDED BY THE LACK OF PROGRESS BEING MADE. SO,, MR KERRY, OUT OF FRUSTRATION OR IN MALICE SAID THAT ISRAEL IS IN DANGER OF BECOMING AN "APARTHEID" STATE IF THEY DON'T SETTLE, IF THEY DON'T MAKE CONCESSIONS...... NOW OF COURSE KERRYS STATEMENT IS ABSURD. ISRAEL IS THE ONLY DEMOCRATIC COUNTRY IN THE MIDDLE EAST. ISRAEL HAS ARABS SERVING IN ITS GOVERNMENT AS REPRESENTATIVES. THERE ARE ARABS LIVING PEACEFULLY AMONGST THE ISRAELI PEOPLE AS CITIZENS!! OF THE 21 ARAB COUNTRIES IN THE MIDDLE EAST, (LETS COUNT IRAQ, IRAN AND TURKEY ALSO) NOT ONE HAS A JEW SERVING IN THEIR GOVERNMENTS..... BEFORE WE RIDICULE OR CONSIDER MR KERRY A BUFFOON,...

NOT ONE OF THEM!!

IF YOU HAVE HEARD OF RUSH LIMBAUGH, THEN YOU KNOW THAT HE IS A CONSERVATIVE TALK HOST WHO IS ON DAILY AT WOR 710 AM, FROM NOON TILL 3PM; AND NO, HE'S NO FAN OF THE DEMOCRAT PARTY OR OBAMA. ON YESTERDAYS (FRI) SHOW, MR LIMBAUGH PLAYED SOUND BITES OF FIVE OR SIX DEMOCRAT CONGRESS FOLK WHO TOOK TO THE FLOOR OF THE HOUSE TO CRITICIZE HOUSE REPUBLICANS FOR OPPOSING THE FLOOD OF ILLEGAL ALIEN CHILDREN (AND ADULTS) THAT WAS DEVISED AND ORCHESTRATED BY OBAMA WITH THE HELP OF THE DEMOCRAT PARTY. THESE "PEOPLE" ACCUSED THE REPUBLICANS OF HATING CHILDREN, OF DESPISING CHILDREN, OF BEING RACIST FOR NOT HELPING HISPANIC CHILDREN....ONE CONGRESSMAN EVEN SAID THAT REPUBLICANS WERE CAUSING THE DEATHS OF THESE (ILLEGAL ALIEN) CHILDREN....THEN I IMMEDIATLY THOUGHT OF THE FORTY YEAR GENOCIDE OF UNBORN AMERICAN CHILDREN SANCTIONED BY THE DEMOCRAT PARTY..... HOWEVER, DURING ALL OF THEIR HYSTRIONICS, THE YELLING, THE INSULTS, THE SCREAMING, NOT ONE OF THEM SAID THAT THEY WOULD ...

CHRISTIE THE TOOTHLESS TIGER

12/1/15 HE'S ALL TALK AND NO ACTION....SOME DAYS AGO, THE REPUBLICAN GOVERNOR OF THE "GREAT STATE OF NEW JERSEY" , BELLOWED HIS OPPOSITION TO OBAMAS SYRIAN REFUGEE "POLICY". HE DECLARED THAT HE WOULD NOT ACCEPT ANY SYRIAN REFUGEES INTO NJ, THAT HIS RESPONSIBILITY IS TO PROTECT THE CITIZENS OF HIS STATE..... WELL, OBAMA CAUGHT THE OLD TIGER SLEEPING. THE MEDIA PROUDLY ANNOUNCED THAT OBAMA HAD "INSTALLED" A SYRIAN FAMILY OF 7 AT AN "UNDISCLOSED" LOCATION IN PATERSON AND ARE UNIDENTIFIED.......... HEY CHRISTIE, HOW HARD WOULD IT HAVE BEEN TO PUT SOME PEOPLE AT THE AIRPORT TO CHECK INCOMING FLIGHTS??? TO CHECK THE PASSENGER LISTS??? YOU'RE THE GOVERNOR, FOR PETE'S SAKE!!! YOU HAVE POWER, YOU HAVE AUTHORITY AND THE MANPOWER!!! YOU CAN'T PROTECT YOUR CITIZENS WITH RHETORIC!!!! I HOPE THE REST OF YOU REPUBLICAN GOVERNORS HAVE BIGGER BALLS THAN CHISTIE HAS.......OBAMA HAS DEMONSTRATED THAT: # 1, HE HAS NO FEAR OF RE...
