I just finished reading Simone Carr’s article on See You at the Pole in Good News Etc. She did a marvelous job of integrating the opinions of the most important people for the story: the students themselves. Please let her know we think she did a great job! And thanks for your continued support of students.

I have found a great roommate through Good News, Etc.!

What a relief it is to find just the right person - it is truly a miracle. I really, really appreciate the free ad you ran. I was in a desperate situation and the new roommate came just in time.

Thanks for all you do.

When Gov. Schwarzenegger signed SB1234 on Sept. 22, he approved a bill that can be used to legitimize persecution of Christian Free Speech. You heard me right. Our beloved Republican governor has sold out the Christians in California. Did I mention he is Republican? I guess character really does matter. What a betrayal! I guess we will be expanding our prison ministries - will any of you visit me in jail?

When I preach against homosexuality, the Muslim faith and abortion, my sermons will be labeled hate speech and thus I am inciting violence.

Well, mark this down in your books as another example of being stabbed in the back by the Republican “e-stab-lishment.” But even more ominous is that this is the beginning of the great persecution of Christians in the land of the free and the home of the brave. We always said one day this would happen, and here it is!

Whether it is the last days of the earth, I do not know, no one knows the day or the hour, but I can say that these are probably the last days for America. To whom much is given, much is required. We have been weighed in the balance, and have been found lacking. God have mercy on us all, especially our children and our children’s children.

The United States Military has a legal ban on all forms of homosexuality. Homosexual acts are just not allowed in the military for many good reasons.

The USS Midway, which is now a decommissioned aircraft carrier museum, doesn’t seem to understand the military policy.

On Sunday, Sept. 12, the retired aircraft carrier allowed a homosexual group to hold a fundraiser on the ship. The event, “Living Out Loud,” raised money for a homosexual drug rehab program called Stepping Stone.

Stepping Stone totally embraces the homosexual lifestyle, while weakly attempting to get homosexuals clean and sober. They don’t get the message: You can’t expect people to get off drugs, while encouraging them to stay in sexual immorality.

Pro-homosexual comedian Kathy Griffin was the entertainer at the event.

You can express your displeasure with the USS Midway by calling 619-544-9600 and ask for the ship manager.

Also, if you know of active military personnel or veterans contact them and ask them to file formal complaints against the USS Midway staff!

Since we are living in the latter days, apostasy is thick in the form of easy “believer -ism,” Rick Warren, seeker-friendly, and Willow Creek, but I am somewhat amazed how many pastors are following right behind this stuff. Even guys like Hanagraff and McQuire see this as biblical - it’s unbelievable!

The church is asleep, money grabbing, hirelings. No Billy Sunday. No Spurgeon. No Edwards. No fire. Males have become feminized and don’t even realize it. Hence apostasy. See Matthew 25 about separation between goats and sheep. Sometimes I am embarrassed to say I am a born-again Christian.

The United States of America is the world’s undisputed champion of freedom. Many powerful nations have attempted to dominate and enslave the world, but America has fought to liberate it.

While other nations have merely talked about freedom, Americans have traveled the world shedding their blood for it. When Hitler needed to be stopped, our nation stopped him. When communism needed to be opposed, our country opposed it. When oppressed people needed liberation, our military liberated them.

Where would this world be without our sacrifice, courage and commitment to liberty? We are a great country because we stand for something great-freedom!

Please join me as I pray for our nation and for the cause of freedom everywhere!
