Renew Your Covenant With God

He Hath Said

“And because of all this we make a sure covenant.”-Nehemiah 9:38

There are many occasions in our experience when we may very rightly, and with benefit, renew our covenant with God. After recovery from sickness when, like Hezekiah, we have had a new term of years added to our life, we may fitly do it. After any deliverance from trouble, when our joys bud forth anew, let us again visit the foot of the cross, and renew our consecration. Especially, let us do this after any sin which has grieved the Holy Spirit, or brought dishonour upon the cause of God; let us then look to that blood which can make us whiter than snow, and again offer ourselves unto the Lord. We should not only let our troubles confirm our dedication to God, but our prosperity should do the same. If we ever meet with occasions which deserve to…

Leftist Hate Crime Hysteria

Taking Back America

From FrontPage Mag
April 30, 2014 |  By Arnold Ahlert

Two Democratic Congressman and Attorney General Eric Holder are spearheading equally disturbing efforts to monitor and control the behavior of Americans—even if the Constitution and the truth get trashed in the process.

Senator Ed Markey (D-MA) and Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) have introduced a bill known as the The Hate Crime Reporting Act of 2014. It would require a relatively obscure government agency, the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA), to “update a report on the use of telecommunications, including the Internet in the commission of hate crimes.”

Can’t We All Just Get Along?

The Outrider

The bridge is so far when we see outbursts like this. The sad thing isn’t that she is screaming this ignorance, but in that in her own mind she believes this dribble to be true. With all the perceived injustices, that she is going to the mat for a free soda says a lot. I hope racial relations get better, but when many on one side want to keep going back hundreds of years to prove their plight today, there is no way they can improve their situation. Many opportunities are there if they would take advantage of the correct ones. Instead of worrying about the free soda, maybe she should use the free education and job training available to many minorities. Then again, you don’t keep up that kind of physical shape by being a go getter.

Neal Obstat Theological Opining

Again, I have no time to edit or clean up, so here’s raw Neal writing. . .

Taken from pegponderingagain.files.wordpress.com

Over the years, I have known a number of priests who have faced either major illness/physical suffering or death and dying. These specific men I am thinking of were/are great men of faith, competent pastors and preachers, men of sober piety and rugged charity. I admire/d them in life and in death, and am grateful for the influence they have had on my life for the better. Among these men, there was a certain number whom I saw profoundly changed when they entered the medical treatment process, and I would like to reflect briefly on the meaning of that change.

Speechless

As these men were facing terminal illness or a challenging illness, I noticed — because it was so uncharacteristic of them — that any time they would speak of their illness in private or public they would utilize

In Any Case, Hamas Decision Overshadows Kerry’s Slur

In Any Case, Hamas Decision Overshadows Kerry’s Slur

Posted: 29 Apr 2014 10:03 PM PDT

…If the administration should choose to walk down this road toward recognition of Hamas, it will do so to the cheers of the foreign-policy establishment and liberal mainstream media that have always chafed against the idea that Hamas was beyond the pale. But if it does, it should also expect that Congress as well as a united pro-Israel community would make them pay a high political price for this betrayal. This is not a battle Obama wants to be fighting in an already difficult midterm elections year. If Abbas is counting on the president to risk some of his scarce political capital on such a cause, then both he and Kerry may have badly miscalculated. But should the Palestinian alliance last into 2015 with a lame duck president already feeling he has little left to…

By Cheryl K. Chumley The Washington Times

Rep. Chris Stewart of Utah, concerned about the armed agents that surrounded Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy’s property, is mulling a measure to cut funding for any “paramilitary units” that work for the Bureau of Land Management, the Internal Revenue Service and other federal regulatory agencies.

“There are lots of people who are really concerned when the BLM shows up with its own SWAT team,” he said, the Salt Lake Tribune reported. “They’re regulatory agencies. They’re not paramilitary units, and I think that concerns a lot of us.”

His mulled amendment to an appropriations bill comes in context of recent BLM actions against Mr. Bundy: The federal agents armed themselves and surrounded his property, tasered his son, closed down road access to the ranch and even shot a couple of his prize bulls. The…
