I haven’t published anything here for quite a while, but that doesn’t mean I’ve disappeared. Most of my thoughts tend to appear here, here and here.

I don’t know what you think…and I don’t care what you think…but I wanna go buy a truck from this guy. C’mon!

“God, Guns, Guts and American Pickup Trucks.” This guy will hook you up with all four.

BP has been outed for faking some of the photos they’ve released to the press showing their response to the oil spill crisis. They claim the photos have merely been “enhanced” to better communicate what’s going on. Any junior high kid in America can photoshop better than these guys.

One of the images below is BP’s actual photo. I was inspired to post a few “enhanced” versions of my own. See if you can tell which is which.

Just found this one from someone else and had to share it.

Seventy years ago today Sir Winston Churchill delivered an oratory masterpiece to the House of Commons that inspired Britain to fight on in spite of a German-occumpied France. In it he uttered these inspiring words

Hitler knows that he will have to break us in this Island or lose the war. If we can stand up to him, all Europe may be free and the life of the world may move forward into broad, sunlit uplands. But if we fail, then the whole world, including the United States, including all that we have known and cared for, will sink into the abyss of a new Dark Age made more sinister, and perhaps more protracted, by the lights of perverted science. Let us therefore brace ourselves to our duties, and so bear ourselves that, if the British Empire and its Commonwealth last for a thousand years, men will still say, “This was their finest hour.”

Read the New York Times article about it here.

If only we had someone so inspiring to address our nation. Someone enlightened as to where we ought to go.

Apparently House Speaker Nancy Pelosi believes that her policy decisions are an expression of her faith in “The Word” and that she is accountable in this life and the next to “it.” AND that “It will come again. It will come again.”

To be honest this caught me off guard. The common podium routine includes liberal politician after liberal politician after sheepish moderate conservative blathering on about how they don’t want to impose their personal faith beliefs on others. Then we usually hear the usual suspects blowing that tired kazoo of “Separation of Church and State” like obnoxious white noise in the background.

Now we have Nancy Pelosi telling us that her personal policy choices are guided by her interpretation of the all-encompassing values of “The Word that was made flesh and dwelt among us.” She can’t seem to bring herself to say it, but for the uninitiated, she’s talking about Jesus—the God-Man who is returning as King and Judge to this broken world.

It’s not my place to publicly question the personal faith of a professing Christian, so I must take it at face value. Sadly, Speaker Pelosi is telling us that she believes her staunchly held pro-abortion beliefs—the taking of innocent life—line up with the values and public policy of Jesus Christ. The one who said, “Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God.” 1.2 MILLION BABIES are murdered EVERY YEAR by this public policy.

I don’t know if Nancy Pelosi is more beholden to The Word or pro-abortion special interest groups. To be honest this speech excites me. This public statement of faith and policy guidance reinforces my conviction that Speaker Pelosi must be warned according to Psalm 2 and more so as one of the brethren. She basically just endorsed the belief that the Bible is the supreme authority on public policy and that politicians are accountable to “It” and Him.

Indeed I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just, that his justice cannot sleep forever. -Thomas Jefferson

This morning I was discussing the current state of the Health Care Bill with Lou Engle and how the abortion issue is taking over all the headlines today. You can sense that lawmakers are unnerved by how the abortion issue demands to be dealt with right now. One commentator made it vivid and clear saying you can’t split the baby — you either win or you lose on this. As Lou and I were discussing these things we began to ponder a recent dream given to us by a trusted prophet intercessor. A key piece of the puzzle suddenly became clear, and we were compelled to broadcast an urgent call to prayer. Below is the synopsis that Lou wrote today explaining the dream and call to prayer.

At the beginning of December my spirit was deeply troubled over the inclusion of Federally-funded abortion hidden in the Health Care Bill. I was awakened in the middle of the night with an urgent call to fast and pray. I determined immediately to go to DC and fast three days while praying in the Senate chambers during the health care debate on the floor. That morning I gathered my staff to say that I was going to DC immediately. It was then that one of our key prophetic men shared a dream he received that very night after praying for insight on the Health Care Bill. This was his dream:

In my dream I was in a very large house that had all the rooms a normal house would have, but I believe it was representing The House. Some type of biting, flying bee was in the house, and it was small but dangerous. I took out a .32 caliber gun to shoot this bee or whatever it was. Yet when I did, swarms of these ‘bee’ flew into the room I was in. They came in through the floor. The dream continued for some time. I continued to try and figure out how to get them out of the house, but they would simply go from one room to the other. Even when the door was shut they would find their way in the room. Finally an audible voice in the dream said, “You cannot kill this ‘B’ with man made weapons. Only prayer will kill this bee,” which now numbered in swarms. In the dream, I knew it was the middle of the night.

If the dream is true, then revelation demands participation. I submit the following interpretation to the Church and to the reader in America to judge. I believe the “very large house” is the House of Representatives. I believe that the “bee” is the Health Care Bill that is very dangerous, particularly in regard to its inclusion of abortion. The bees “coming through the floor” are the numerous debated amendments that have been on the legislative floor over the past several months, ie: the House floor and the Senate floor.

I believe the “.32 Caliber gun” is the key that unlocks the whole dream. Everyone felt that when Scott Brown was elected, the door was shut to the Healthcare Bill with its inclusion of abortion. This morning I felt drawn to Google “.32 Caliber gun.” I found it also goes by another name after its inventor, “Browning.” The dream is clearly saying that not even the election of Scott Brown would stop this Bill. The audible voice in the dream is clearly the voice of the Lord, saying, “You cannot kill this ‘Bill’ with man made weapons.” In the dream, the prophetic brother knew it was a capital “B”; the Bill. Only spiritual weapons can stop this abortion bill.

This flying “B,” the Bill, has been flying from room to room to room-from the House to the Senate to the White House and back-and has not yet been killed. Today this Bill is swarming all over the news. The headlines speak now of Bart Stupak (D-MI) and his alliance with 11 other pro-life Democrats who are willing to stop this Bill because of its abortion language. The Bill could be killed in the House, but only if the Body of Christ will respond with urgent prayer.

Pray for a compassionate and responsible Healthcare Bill that excludes the hidden agenda of mainstreamed abortion. In the dream, the man knew it was the middle of the night. Aside from the Senators holding late-night and hidden backdoor discussions, this present bill has dark and hidden doors that will fund Planned Parenthood and the abortion agenda. Pray that everything that is hidden will be exposed and take a stand in the spirit with fasting and prayer to hold it back. “God drive abortion like a wedge once again into the conscience of America!” We must thank God for men and women in Congress that are standing against abortion, but we must pray for them to be filled with courage and resolve to not back down.

Let us take up the call, “God, end abortion and send revival to America!”
