This youtube video about men stealing meat from lions is a fantastic natural illustration of supernatural faith. If the lions smell even the slightest hint of fear, it is over for these guys. May we likewise take our stand in the evil day with unwavering courage and confidence in God’s word.

Illustration of the unfairness of illegal immigration
I saw this on a comment to an article on the web (the article was about some Catholic Church in Texas aiding and abetting illegal immigrants with impunity) and thought it does a nice job of illustrating the system of perverse incentives that have been set up in this country in the name of “compassion”. Anyone who thinks this brand of compassion is in any regard “Christian” should read 1Corinthians 13:16:
Love finds NO JOY in unrighteousness, but rejoices in the TRUTH. – HCSB
Here is the illustration:
Consider two families: “John Legal” and “Juan Illegal”. Both families have two parents, two children, and live in Arizona …
John Legal works in construction, has a Social Security Number and makes $25.00 per hour with taxes deducted.
Juan Illegal also works in construction, has NO Social Security Number, and gets paid $15.00 in cash “under the table”.
Now the math:
John Legal: $25.00 per hour x 40 hours = $1000.00 per week, or $52,000.00 per year. Now take 30% away for state and federal tax; John Legal now has $31,231.00.
Juan Illegal: $15.00 per hour x 40 hours = $600.00 per week, or $31,200 per year.Juan Illegal pays no taxes. Juan Illegal now has $31,200.00.
John Legal pays medical and dental insurance with limited coverage for his family at $600.00 per month, or $7,200.00 per year. John Legal now has $24,031.00.
Juan Illegal has full medical and dental coverage through the state and local clinics and emergency hospitals at a cost of $0.00 per year. Juan Illegal still has $31,200.00.
John Legal makes too much money and is not eligible for food stamps or welfare. John Legal pays $500.00 per month for food, or $6,000..00 per year. John Legal now has $18,031.00.
Juan Illegal has no documented income and is eligible for food stamps, WIC and welfare. Juan Illegal still has $31,200.00.
John Legal pays rent of $1,200.00 per month, or $14,400.00 per year. John Legal now has 9,631.00.
Juan Illegal receives a $500.00 per month Federal Rent Subsidy. Juan Illegal pays out that $500.00 per month, or $6,000.00 per year. Juan Illegal still has $ 31,200.00.
John Legal pays $200.00 per month, or $2,400.00 for car insurance. Some of that is uninsured motorist insurance. John Legal now has $7,231.00.
Juan Illegal says, “We don’t need no stinkin’ insurance!” and still has $31,200.00.
John Legal has to make his $7,231.00 stretch to pay utilities, gasoline, etc..
Juan Illegal has to make his $31,200.00 stretch to pay utilities, gasoline, and what he sends out of the country every month..
John Legal now works overtime on Saturdays or gets a part time job after work.
Juan Illegal has nights and weekends off to enjoy with his family.
John Legal’s and Juan Illegal’s children both attend the same elementary school. John Legal pays for his children’s lunches, while Juan Illegal’s children get a government sponsored lunch.
Now, when they reach college age, John Legal’s kids may not get into a State School and may not qualify for scholarships, grants or other tuition help, even though John has been paying for state schools through his taxes, while Juan Illegal’s kids “go to the head of the class” because they are a minority. Although John Legal’s children have better grades, it is Juan Illegal’s children who get into a law school on the basis of the “hardships and life-experiences” they have overcome.
John Legal and Juan Illegal both enjoy the same police and fire services, but John paid for them and Juan did not pay.
If you support politicians who support illegal immigration – you’re part of the problem.

Hand of God sends missile into ocean!
I’m sure the atheists, doubters and skeptics will all have a field day denying this and saying this didn’t happen. Come to think of it, these are probably the same people as the “blame Israel” crowd.
Our God is an awesome God! And he fights for Israel!

Here is the link to an article about a giraffe that was killed by an overpass during transport.
You can’t simply pick the first entry in the yellow pages such as “AAA Giraffe Movers” when trying to transport your giraffe. You MUST do your homework! Angie’s list, hello!

This exposes the utter bankruptcy of racism
Here’s a nice “in your face” to Hitler (69 years late) Perfect Aryan baby was JEWISH
Today’s most virulent and dangerous racists are not the Archie-bunker types of yesteryear, but rather the Democrats, who categorize EVERYONE into groups such as black, white, Hispanic, Asian, etc. not to help them, but rather to divide and conquer and pit them as a “victimized minority” against everyone else using demagoguery.
Racism was and is encouraged by Darwin’s philosophy. Members of other “races” have historically been dehumanized on the basis of representing a “less evolved” population. While the Democrats are the ones constantly pointing the finger at everyone else and labeling them as racists, historically it has been the Democrat party that advocated slavery based on race, devised the Jim Crow laws, comprised the membership of the KKK in the twenties and opposed the civil rights movement. The fact that today’s Democrat party has somehow gotten people to believe the opposite is a testament to their devious craftiness and an indictment of general voter intelligence. 67% of Democrats believe in human evolution, and 43% of Republicans (these must be the RINOS).
Does it bother anyone besides me that the State and Federal government TO THIS VERY DAY prominently includes questions of “race” on census forms, birth certificates, and many other government applications. And then they accuse us citizens of being racist! You prove yourself a racist when you force someone to categorize themselves in that way on a government form. The Feds are hypocrites. They have no problem discriminating (for and against) people on the basis of race, but make it illegal for private citizens to do the same.
God doesn’t look at people in groups. He looks at them as individuals. Every individual is fully unique and uniquely precious to Him. To define any person as a member of a group is to despise and devalue his God-given human individuality.
To a demagogue (this epithet applies equally to Democrats and Republican establishment types), you’re only useful and valuable to the extent that you help him secure his place at the top of the food chain. Every demagogue wants to make you feel like you are important, but always as a member of a group such as “the middle class” or “women” or “African Americans” or “the poor” or “gays”. Every demagogue wants to demonize certain groups such as “the rich”, or “whites” or “men”. Their entire strategy is alternately portraying so-called “minority groups” (group being defined however they decide) as victims or perpetrators as a means of whipping up the emotions of those whose vote they want to control. Of course, in my humble opinion, any person who is swayed by a demagogue has proved himself a simpleton who is both unworthy of casting a vote and deserving of the tyranny that every demagogue seeks to impose.
Here they come — hope we’re ready to fight back
This is an awesome response to “peaceful Islam”

Presbyterians line up against Israel
I do not wish to be associated with this brand of Christianity. I wonder how it is possible that anyone who reads and believes the Bible could come out in opposition to the return and presence of Israel in their promised homeland as richly prophesied throughout the Scriptures. Maybe that’s the problem — I wonder how many Presbyterians today actually read and believe the Bible…
Surprise – you are the terrorist the DHS is arming itself against
After 9/11 there were just a few faint voices of complaint regarding the establishment of the “Department of Homeland Security”. Now a dozen short years later, they are militarizing to the tune of hundreds of billions of dollars against anyone who — GASP — doesn’t trust the federal government.
Our entire country was founded upon an inherent distrust in the federal government. Now we’re deemed “domestic terrorists” for being on the same page as the founding fathers.
