Sing
............................ Sing...............................
Sing warning when Eden's snake is hissing
Sing sincerely when sin it is transgressing
Sing thankful when Satan is accusing
Sing loving when Jesus blood is cleansing
Sing prayful when the Oppressor is oppressing
Sing loudly when the stormy seas are tossing
Sing joyful and witness dispair's passing
Sing praising when hard times are increasing
Sing lonely when love is still yet missing
Sing humbly and in God's eyes be pleasing
Sing sweetly when your life it is aceassing
Sing happy when the Son He is arising
Sing holy when His heaven is your blessing
Sing
From Rayburn Blair's heart

You Can't Win For Losing.... Lucifer
Common Sense Commentary: "I will praise thee, O LORD, among the people: I will sing praises unto thee among the nations." Psm.108:3.
Liberals may have intimidated businesses to cease saying "Merry Christmas" in favor of "Happy Holidays". They may have substituted Santa for Christ and Jingle Bells for Silent Night Holy Night. They may have succeeded in removing manger scenes from schools and public property.... But every time they block a Christian testimony in one way, God opens another way. One of those new ways is even more effective than the ones Satan has stopped. Its an organized, but seemingly spontaneous outbreak of terrific Christmas Carol singing in malls, right in the middle of hundreds of shoppers ... who obviously love it, and many even participate in the singing. So try as you may,
Lucifer, you can't win for losing. You lost the battle ... at Calvary.
"Then was our mouth filled with laughter, and our tongue with singing: then said they among the heathen, The LORD hath done great things for them." Psm.126:2.
JESUS IS THE Only REASON FOR THE SEASON .

The Anti-Christic Message, Plan And Method of Islam Has Erupted on Earth
Common Sense Commentary: The time for skepticism,
moderation and tolerance of Islam, in this country, is past;
even as the time for toleration of Nazism and the Axis, In
America was past with the bombing of Pearl Harbor.
At 40%, nations experience widespread massacres, chronic terror attacks, and ongoing militia warfare, such as in:
moderation and tolerance of Islam, in this country, is past;
even as the time for toleration of Nazism and the Axis, In
America was past with the bombing of Pearl Harbor.
Adapted from Dr. Peter Hammond's book: Slavery, Terrorism and Islam: The Historical Roots and Contemporary Threat.
Islam is not a religion, nor is it a cult. In its fullest form, it is a complete, total, 100% system of life.
Islam has religious, legal, political, economic, social, and military components. The religious component is a beard for all of the other components.
Islamization begins when there are sufficient Muslims in a country to agitate for their religious privileges.
When politically correct, tolerant, and culturally diverse societies agree to Muslim demands for their religious privileges, some of the other components tend to creep in as well.
Here's how it works:
As long as the
Muslim population remains around or under 2% in any given country, they will be
for the most part be regarded as a peace-loving minority, and not as a threat to
other citizens. This is the case in:
United States -- Muslim 0.6%
Australia -- Muslim 1.5%
Canada -- Muslim 1.9%
China -- Muslim 1.8%
Italy -- Muslim 1.5%
Norway -- Muslim 1.8%
At 2% to 5%, they begin to proselytize from other ethnic minorities and disaffected groups, often with major recruiting from the jails and among street gangs. This is happening in:
Denmark -- Muslim 2%
Germany -- Muslim 3.7%
United Kingdom -- Muslim 2.7%
Spain -- Muslim 4%
Thailand -- Muslim 4.6%
From 5% on, they exercise an inordinate influence in proportion to their percentage of the population. For example, they will push for the introduction of halal (clean by Islamic standards) food, thereby securing food preparation jobs for Muslims They will increase pressure on supermarket chains to feature halal on their shelves -- along with threats for failure to comply. This is occurring in:
France -- Muslim 8%
Philippines -- Muslim 5%
Sweden -- Muslim 5%
Switzerland -- Muslim 4.3%
The Netherlands -- Muslim 5.5%
Trinidad & Tobago -- Muslim 5.8%
At this point, they will work to get the ruling government to allow them to rule themselves (within their ghettos) under Sharia, the Islamic Law.The ultimate goal of Islamists is to establish Sharia law over the entire world.
When Muslims approach 10% of the population, they tend to increase lawlessness as a means of complaint about their conditions. In Paris , we are already seeing car-burnings. . Any non-Muslim action offends Islam and results in uprisings and threats, such as in Amsterdam , with opposition to Mohammed cartoons and films about Islam. Such tensions are seen daily, particularly in Muslim sections in:
Guyana -- Muslim 10%
India -- Muslim 13.4%
Israel -- Muslim 16%
Kenya -- Muslim 10%
Russia -- Muslim 15%
After reaching 20%, nations can expect hair-trigger rioting, jihad militia formations, sporadic killings, and the burnings of Christian churches and Jewish synagogues, such as in:
Ethiopia -- Muslim 32.8%
United States -- Muslim 0.6%
Australia -- Muslim 1.5%
Canada -- Muslim 1.9%
China -- Muslim 1.8%
Italy -- Muslim 1.5%
Norway -- Muslim 1.8%
At 2% to 5%, they begin to proselytize from other ethnic minorities and disaffected groups, often with major recruiting from the jails and among street gangs. This is happening in:

At 40%, nations experience widespread massacres, chronic terror attacks, and ongoing militia warfare, such as in:
Bosnia -- Muslim 40%
Chad -- Muslim 53.1%
Lebanon -- Muslim 59.7%
From 60%, nations experience unfettered persecution of non-believers of all other religions (including non-conforming Muslims), sporadic ethnic cleansing (genocide), use of Sharia Law as a weapon, and Jizya, the tax placed on infidels, such as in:
Albania -- Muslim 70%
Malaysia -- Muslim 60.4%
Qatar -- Muslim 77.5%
Sudan -- Muslim 70%
After 80%, expect daily intimidation and violent jihad, some State-run ethnic cleansing, and even some genocide, as these nations drive out the infidels, and move toward 100% Muslim, such as has been experienced and is on-going in:
Bangladesh -- Muslim 83%
Egypt -- Muslim 90%
Gaza -- Muslim 98.7%
Indonesia -- Muslim 86.1%
Iran -- Muslim 98%
Iraq -- Muslim 97%
Jordan -- Muslim 92%
Morocco -- Muslim 98.7%
Pakistan -- Muslim 97%
Palestine -- Muslim 99%
Syria -- Muslim 90%
Tajikistan -- Muslim 90%
Turkey -- Muslim 99.8%
United Arab Emirates -- Muslim 96%
100% will usher in the peace of 'Dar-es-Salaam' -- the Islamic House of Peace. Here there's supposed to be peace, because everybody is a Muslim, the Madrasses are the only schools, and the Koran is the only word, such as in:
Afghanistan -- Muslim 100%
Saudi Arabia -- Muslim 100%
Somalia -- Muslim 100%
Yemen -- Muslim 100%
Unfortunately, peace is never achieved, as in these 100% states the most radical Muslims intimidate and spew hatred, and satisfy their blood lust by killing less radical Muslims, for a variety of reasons.
'Before I was nine, I had learned the basic canon of Arab life. It was me against my brother; me and my brother against our father; my family against my cousins and the clan; the clan against the tribe; the tribe against the world, and all of us against the infidel. -- Leon Uris, 'The Haj'
It is important to understand that in some countries, with well under 100% Muslim populations, such as France, the minority Muslim populations live in ghettos, within which they are 100% Muslim, and within which they live by Sharia Law. The national police do not even enter these ghettos. There are no national courts, nor schools, nor non-Muslim religious facilities. In such situations, Muslims do not integrate into the community at large. The children attend madrasses.They learn only the Koran. To even associate with an infidel is a crime punishable with death. Therefore, in some areas of certain nations, Muslim Imams and extremists exercise more power than the national average would indicate.
Today's 1.5 billion Muslims make up 22% of the world's population. But their birth rates are higher than the birth rates of Christians, Hindus, Buddhists, Jews, and all other believers. Muslims will exceed 50% of the world's population by the end of this century.
Well, boys and girls, today we are letting the fox guard the hen house.The wolves will be herding the sheep!
NOTE: Has anyone ever heard a new government official being identified as a devout Catholic, a devout Jew or a devout Protestant...? Just wondering.
Devout Muslims being appointed to critical Homeland Security positions? Doesn't this make you feel safer already??
That should make the United States much safer, huh!! Was it not "Devout Muslim men" that flew planes into U.S. buildings
only 10 years ago?
We must never forget this. Was it not a Devout Muslim man who killed 13 at Fort Hood ? (He killed "From within" -don't forget that).
Also: This is very interesting and we all need to read it from start to finish. Maybe this is why our American Muslims are so quiet and not speaking out about any atrocities. Can a good Muslim be a good American? This question was forwarded to a friend who worked in Saudi Arabia for 20 years. The following is his reply:
Theologically –; no. Because his allegiance is to Allah, The moon God of Arabia
Religiously - no. Because no other religion is accepted by His Allah except Islam (Quran, 2:256)(Koran)
scripturally - no. Because his allegiance is to the five Pillars of Islam and the Quran.
Geographically - no. Because his allegiance is to Mecca , to which he turns in prayer five times a day.
Socially - no. Because his allegiance to Islam forbids him to make friends with Christians or Jews..
Politically - no. Because he must submit to the mullahs (spiritual leaders), who teach annihilation of Israel and destruction of America , the great Satan.
Domestically - no. Because he is instructed to marry four Women and beat and scourge his wife when she disobeys him (Quran 4:34)
Intellectually - no. Because he cannot accept the American Constitution since it is based on Biblical principles and he believes the Bible to be corrupt.
Philosophically - no. Because Islam, Muhammad, and the Quran do not allow freedom of religion and expression. Democracy and Islam cannot co-exist. Every Muslim government is either dictatorial or autocratic.
Spiritually - no. Because when we declare 'one nation under God,' the Christian's God is loving and kind, while Allah is NEVER referred to as Heavenly father, nor is he ever called love in The Quran's 99 excellent names.
Therefore, after much study and deliberation... Perhaps we should bevery suspicious of ALL MUSLIMS in this country. - - - They obviously cannot be both 'good' Muslims and good Americans. Call it what you wish, it's still the truth. You had better believe it. The more who understand this, the better it will be for our country and our future.The religious war is bigger than we know or understand.
Can a Muslim be a good soldier???
Army Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan, opened fire at Ft. Hood and Killed 13. He is a good Muslim!!!
Footnote: The Muslims have said they will destroy us from within.

How Many Is A Mere Thousand Million? A Billion?
Common Sense Commentary:
The next time you hear a politician use the
Word 'billion' in a casual manner, think about
whether you want the 'politicians' spending
YOUR tax money.
A billion is a difficult number to comprehend,
Consider how many a billion really is:
A.
A billion seconds ago it was 1959.
B.
A billion minutes ago Jesus was walking
on this earth.
C.
A billion hours ago our ancestors were
living in the Stone Age.
D.
A billion days ago the earth was a dark, dead
Planet
E.
A billion dollars ago was only
8 hours and 20 minutes,
at the rate our government
is spending it.
While this thought is still fresh in our brain...
let's take a look at New Orleans ...
It's amazing what you can learn with some
simple division.
Louisiana Senator,
Mary Landrieu (D)
was asking Congress for
250 BILLION DOLLARS
To rebuild New Orleans . Interesting number...
What does it mean?
A.
Well .. If you are one of the 484,674 residents
of New Orleans
(every man, woman and child)
You each get $516,528
B.
Or... If you have one of the 188,251 homes in
New Orleans , your home gets $1,329,787.

Leading A Doubter To Christ
Common Sense Commentary: "The heavens declare his righteousness, and all the people see his glory." Psm.97:6. How do "the heavens declare his righteousness..."?
"And God said, let there be ..." Gen.1:2. God spoke the worlds into existence out of nothing except the power of His word. E=MC2, and MC2=E. Therefore, every thing in the universe is full of His word and the energy of His word. The entire universe speaks the word of God and nothing denies it with a smidgen of faith.
After many years of counseling and, as a Pastor, dealing with every strata of education, wealth, intelligence and personality, of people, I can say with confidence that people's perception of what is true is more common than the reality of it. Of course, reality is by far the most important, but perception is, nevertheless, what we must confront and deal with .... and, if possible, convince.
Convincing someone of a reality, which is contrary to what they have been convinced of since youth, is never an easy matter. Convince a man against his will and he is of the same opinion still. If a person is to be truly convinced, the proposition must become their very own conclusion, embraced as fact ... true reality in their own mind.
In convincing other people of the truths of Christ, we must first recognize the absolute necessity of God's word and Holy Spirit in this all important endeavour. "A bishop must be .... Holding fast the faithful word as he hath been taught, that he may be able by sound doctrine both to exhort and to convince the gainsayers." Titus 1:7-9.
The Holy Spirit of God works through His word, the Bible ... which is, "the faithful word" in the above verse ....(full of faith word).
Another important reality to keep in mind in leading others to Christ is this: God does not give faith to believe a lie. True faith comes from only one source ... The Bible.
"Faith cometh by hearing ... the word of God." Rom.10:17. There is no other source of saving faith... true faith. Therefore, an unbeliever cannot know for sure, or have faith, in his unbelief. He always has doubt but never faith in his denial of God or Jesus or God's word. This fact is to the advantage of the witness for Christ. Don't let the unsaved person convince you of his certainty in his unbelief or his belief in a false religion. Deal with his doubt of what he says he believes or doesn't believe. He cannot be certain of an untruth... really certain, because untruth has no basis for true faith. God is reality. There is no other reality without God. "The heavens declare the glory of God." Psm.19:1. The unbeliever may be an agnostic (doesn't know) but he cannot be a true atheist (no God) because, I repeat, God does not give faith to believe a lie. So zero in to his doubt and pour God's word through that open cavity of secret doubt. No need to mention the doubt, he will simply deny it and take offence. Your knowing it is sufficient motivation to deal with it. Ignore objections, denials and distracting questions. Shine God's truth and reality, like a laser light into his doubt. RB

At What Tax Rate Would You Stop Working Or Move Out?
Common Sense Commentary: At what tax
rate would you just give up and stop working extra to make any more
money? 33%...44%...55%....95% ???Everyone who has a real concern for this
country needs to understand this.
Watch the educational/informational video at the link below. We must keep an open mind to reality regardless of our political beliefs. What is the truth?
__________Researched by RB__________
Almost two-thirds of the country’s million-pound earners disappeared from
Britain after the introduction of the 50p top rate of tax, figures have
disclosed.
In the 2009-10 tax year, more than 16,000 people declared an annual income of more than £1 million to HM Revenue and Customs.
This number fell to just 6,000 after Gordon Brown introduced the new 50p top rate of income tax shortly before the last general election.
The figures have been seized upon by the Conservatives to claim that increasing the highest rate of tax actually led to a loss in revenues for the Government.
Watch the educational/informational video at the link below. We must keep an open mind to reality regardless of our political beliefs. What is the truth?

300,000 French Expected to Leave France
Reuters reports that 300,000 French millionaires will immediately begin to leave France in response to taxes being increased to seventy five percent of income in order to help close the budget deficit. The mass migration of millionaires is expected to begin as soon as countries outside of France agree to accept the political risk of increasing their own wealth inequality.

Millionaires Leaving the U.S.
In 2007 alone over 800,000 millionaires disappeared from the Untied States. This is an alarming number but most people have made the mistake of thinking it was the internet .com bubble bursting along with the real estate mortgage securities fiasco that explains what happened; however, they are wrong. While the bubbles bursting may have had a partial effect, it is not the whole story. The part of the story that is not being reported is that the number of millionaires overseas has increased by over 3.8 million in the same year! What that means to you and me is that it is not the millionaires that are disappearing but in fact it is the wealth of America that is disappearing. It is not so much that millionaires are disappearing but more close to the truth is that they are leaving.

Governor Jerry Brown insisted in his State of the State speech last week that California is "still the land of dreams." He's certainly right if he's referring to his latest fantasy that raising taxes on the upper middle-class will generate an additional $5 billion annually over the next five years, eliminate the state's chronic budget deficits and pay down a large portion of its debt. Fortunately, the state's Legislative Analyst's Office, of all unlikely Sacramento institutions, has checked in from realityville.
In a new report, the office warns that the initiative that Mr. Brown wants to put on the November ballot to raise taxes on top earners might not generate as much revenue as he projects because their income is extremely volatile.
The top 1% of earners already pay about 40% of the state's income taxes, a large chunk of which is on capital gains that are taxed at the same rate as wages. In the past, changes in the economy and stock prices have caused huge fluctuations in capital gains income and tax revenue.
Many wealthy Californians are moving to other states or out of the U.S.

The Star Of Bethlehem: An Astronomical Revelation
Common Sense Commentary: The Star Of Bethlehem: An Intreging Astronomical Revelation ... not astrology ... astronomy... a study of the stars spoken of in Scripture.
Matt.2:1-2 " Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem, Saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him.
The following link will take you to a video site (U-Tube) where you will find "The Bethlehem Star" series. It is in seven rather short segments. After the first in the series, the next segment is always the one in the upper, left corner. This is not astrology. It is an astronomical study paralleled with Scriptural references to the stars.
I was captivated by this Conservative Christian lawer's years long study of the star the Wise men followed to find their Messiah, Jesus ... The Bethlehem Star. RB
"The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork." Psm.19:1.
"The heavens declare his righteousness, and all the people see his glory." Psm.97:6.

Lucifer has a counterfeit for every good and holy thing of God... Love, His Church, His Bible, Salvation, God Himself and the study of stars, astronomy. The counterfeit of the later is astrology.

Oscar Winner "Our Lord And Savior, Barack Obama"
Common Sense Commentary: "And when they
were come to the place, which is called Calvary,
there they crucified him.... Then said Jesus, Father,
forgive them; for they know not what they do. And
they parted his raiment, and cast lots." Lk.23:34.

Give Me "YOUR" Sandwich AND Pull "MY" Wagon
Common Sense Commentary: "Neither did we eat any man's bread for
nought; but wrought with labour and travail night and day, that we might not be
chargeable to any of you... to make ourselves an ensample unto you to.... For even when we were with
you, this we commanded you, that if any would not work, neither should he eat.
For we hear that there are some
which walk among you disorderly, working not at all, but are busybodies.
Now them that are such we
command and exhort by our Lord Jesus Christ, that with quietness they work, and
eat their own bread." 2 Thess.3:8-12.
Here are two classic illustrations which reduce the problem of Liberal Socialism with all it's failures, complications and injustice to their lowest common denominator, and make it understandable to the most confused or simple minded among us. RB
