America & The Anti-Christ
Will America submit to the world's last dictator?
by Rev. Michael Bresciani
Americans spend more time going over the prophecies of the bible than
any other people in the world. They know full well of the coming of the
person called the Anti-Christ, or do they?

Death of a Messenger by Paul A. Ibbetson
Don't kill the messenger! You've heard that saying before and it has as much relevance today as in the past. Ages ago before the wondrous technologies for long distance communication were available; the means of sending messages between individuals over great distances fell to the responsibility of the humble messenger. The messenger, whether on foot or horseback would battle all assorted dangers, be it inclement weather, sickness, wolves, or rogue bandits to see his message delivered safely to its recipient. Unfortunately, surviving the successful delivery of a message was often the hardest part of the job. You see, sometimes people would become angry with a message that they did not wish to receive and the messenger was an easy outlet for this misguided anger.
Recently, I was an observer of a death of sorts of a fellow carrier of the conservative message of truth. A fellow radio associate and conservative columnist Chuck Armstrong, found himself at the end of the proverbial sword from his college newspaper publisher when his weekly opinion column contained comments about the violent aspects of the religion if Islam. Armstrong penned the column after researching the topic which included personal communications from well known scholar Robert Spencer. Not only was Armstrong's column rejected but insinuations of racism were put forward. When Armstrong questioned the validity of rejecting an opinion piece on this topic, he was fired as a contributing columnist for the college newspaper.
Now you may be thinking that Chuck Armstrong was attending a liberal college where the conservative ideas and opinions are squelched as a matter of college policy, maybe at Berkley or the liberal breeding grounds of Columbia University, right? If you thought that was the case you would be way off. Would you be surprised if I said it was at Kansas State University? Yes that's right, here in the heartland, the Bible belt, the place I like to call common sense central from the growing scourge of liberalism. Yes even here, to bring forth a message that asks people to think hard about a religion so relevant to current events in the nation doesn't get you a debate, it gets you fired. I would leave it in the capable hands of the American people to read Armstrong's article (from his blog The Right Track) and make up their own minds if his message pains them because it's off base, or if it only hurts because it's painfully accurate?
Unfortunately, I believe that Armstrong was forced to taste the steal of the Kansas State University Collegian because he violated the laws of political correctness. Yes, political correctness, the mental neutering of this country that not only day by day clouds the division between right and wrong, but breaks the will to question anything for fear that some group or organization may be offended. Most often these groups are liberals. Options were all this college newspaper had in this case. They could have collected an opposing opinion piece to Armstrong's and ran them on the same page. They could have printed any disclaimer of their choosing before the article. Now here is a novel idea, they could have ran the article and let the readers decide and hold the author accountable through the usage of (letters to the editor) which the newspaper has every week. In the end, the Kansas State University Collegian decided to pass on all these options and to liquidate Armstrong for delivering a message that does not meet the liberal standard of political correctness. That message has been heard loud and clear.

LOVE WITHOUT
COMPROMISE
By Greg Nashif
Love is patient, Love is kind, love is
not egotistical, love seeks not its own way and is not easily
provoked....."1 Cor 13:1
AS I Sit and watch the nightly news, protesters line the streets of the funeral of a fallen
soldier, carrying signs that read "GOD HATES....." I ask myself what purpose does this have in the spreading of the Gospel of Jesus Christ? The answer is simply none.
It is what I call a dispicable display of judgment and condemnation by so-called Christians who take the Gospel and pervert it to heap coals of condemnation on the world.
"For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved..." John 3:17
With that said what right do we as Christians have to condemn those who do not follow the Word of God? And if Jesus himself said that "He came not to condemn the world", then how can we as mere mortals do that which Christ refuses to do? How quickly we forget the Jesus who said"He that is without sin among you, let him cast the first stone...?" John 8:2-11)
When I see those protesters carrying those signs that say "God Hates...", I really believe what God truthfully hates are those who represent Him in a heartless and degrading manner.
"Put down those ugly signs you carry and take up the cross of Jesus Christ; represent Him as he would represent Himself, with unfailing love, without judgment.
As a believer in Jesus Christ I know the truth of His word, without compromise. The Bible says that homosexuality and abortion are wrong, and I understand the truth behind those belief's.
As a Christian I can love and be chartible without compromising my faith in what I know to be true,but it still does not give me the right to hurt another human being, just because I believe that what they are doing is outside of God's will.
And finally think about this for a moment, if Jesus were to walk among us today, where would He be?
We would not certainly find him in our churches, now would we? He would be among the people, the poor, the homeless, he would be dining with those who do not know Him. Touching them with the truth of his Word and loving them into His Kingdom.
And that is exactly what we should do as Christ centered people.
In the eyes of God we are no better than anyone else; He loves us all unconditionally. The only difference between the sinner and the saint, is that the saint has simply chosen to accept Jesus Christ and his Word in love without compromise.
