It was the summer of 1958. I remember because my parents bought a brand new Ford Fairlane 500! We thought we were in Heaven! We lived on a farm in Nebraska and as kids did not know we were on the bottom end of the food chain! Me and little brother Tommy were out harassing the little birds with our BB guns in the grove behind the house! Mom shouts out the door of our house and tells us grandma wants us to come over and help her butcher roosters! We were excited! Mom takes us over to grandma in our new car! Grandma would pick out a young fat rooster from the flock and then tell us to catch it! The race was on! We had help from my cousin Bill who was two years older than me. Once we caught the rooster grandma brought out the hatchet! It was Jihad on the rooster! We would get tired because we would do about 25 roosters per day! I asked grandma if we could catch old charley because he was really a slow bird! Grandma told me he was too old to eat! Why grandma? Well Jimmy old charley is like a Christmas tree without the lights! He is totally unplugged! Every time the fox breaks into the chicken house charley gets a free pass! Charley struts around trying to look and act like a rooster but the hens don’t pay him no mind! Charley can’t even crow anymore even if he tries! Grandma poor charley! Grandma charley needs a friend! I can be his friend grandma! Yes and bring all his lice into the house? Well i guess charley does need a friend! Why don’t you be his friend! Thankyou grandma! James

Destruction of Western Civilization!
Europe is no longer Europe, it is Euabia, a colony of Islam, where the Islamic invasion does not proceed only in a physical sense, but also in the mental and cultural sense! Oriana Fallaci (1929-2006) Comment: She was a wise woman for she could see the hand writing on the wall. However she did not live quite long enough to see an American President come to power that would power Islam to defeat America and Western civilization! As the millions of Syrian, Iraqi and North African Muslim refugee’s pour into our cities the stage is being set for a civil war in America and Europe! If the Christian’s will rise and fight we may save America if not the Islamists will take over! Every American is going to have to make a decision of whether America is worth saving as our Founding Father’s had to make! James and Hamsa Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com
Prayer!
We talk about Heaven being so far away! It is within speaking distance to those who belong there! Heaven is a prepared place for a prepared people! Dwight L. Moody (1837-1899)
Evangelism!
Truth never fell dead in the streets; it has such an affinity with the soul of man, the seed however broadcast will catch somewhere and produce a hundredfold! Theodore Parker (1810-1860)
Selfies, Selfish & Selfless! Matthew 16:24-26
Selfies are not wrong or bad! Hey, look at me! They could be called the poster child of selfishness! Selfish seems to dominate American culture! Every group wants attention! They all get up on their soap box! Sin is about selfishness! No sacrifice required! Satan, Adam and Eve thought they could rise above God! Do not be denied God is holding out on you! Jesus said to seek first the Kingdom of God! Would you lose your life for Jesus? Take up your Cross and follow Him! Deny yourself! When you do that you are following Him! Ditch your selfie! His words seem as foreign to our culture as they did back in the 1st Century! To take up your Cross is to live in self-denial and lay your life down and take up His life! You will be exposed to death! For the first time in American history Christians are being executed for their Faith on our home soil. The executed had to carry their own Cross to the execution site after scourging! When you carry your own cross the popular culture will look at you as a criminal. You will undergo suffering, trial, punishment, disapproval and death! The only way to deny self is die to self! Others are more important! No wonder Jesus had so few disciples! Very few sign up and stay on! It is easier to live for you and not for Him because you have to trust your outcome to Him! Faith is taking your destiny out of your control! To follow Jesus means to walk in the same path! It means to be in union on the same road like military soldiers marching down the same path! To lose your life means to destroy it completely with a new identity! Save my life or lose it. The word life used in this scripture means the Spirit or eternal soul. It is more than just the here and now! Self is about the here and now! Gain the whole world and lose your soul? The word soul used here is the same Greek root word used for life! The world will never be able to save your soul. You were purchased with a price! His blood for your soul! Matthew 6:33 To seek first means in time, place and order of importance! Seek His righteousness! That means to seek His innocence and justification! Can we do the math? Then all these things will be added unto you! II Corinthians 5:15 Do you live for yourself? Live for Him! As He was raised He has promised to raise you up from the dead! Live like it! Look for Him and live for Him! Pastor Cope, Mount Vernon Baptist Church, Fairburn, Georgia.
How Many Does it Take?
How many people does it take to change a light bulb? How many college football players? One as long as he gets 3 hours credit towards his graduation! How many psychiatrists does it take? One as long as the light bulb is willing to change! How many baby boomers does it take? One as long as they can hold the light bulb for all the world to see and the world spins around them! James
Cheese and Crackers!
I went to my medical doctor for a visit for my annual checkup! He reviewed my chart and asked me about my allergies? He told me that according to my allergy tests i was allergic to money and women! He told me it might be my lucky day! I asked him if there was a medicine available to treat my condition? Doctor Applebee told me they were experimenting with a drug right now among the rat population. He explained to me that they took the gene pool from men that were in deep poverty and mixed it into a drug and were giving it to the male population rats! They took the rat population that seemed to horde their cheese and crackers and gave them this new medicine! These rats then gave all their cheese and crackers to the lady rats! Then these male rats went into poverty! Then the lady rats left the poor rats looking for better cheese and crackers! Then the poor rats began robbing the other rats for cheese and crackers including some lady rats! So now crime and poverty has increased among the rat populations! WOW! Doctor Applebee it is my lucky day! James
Hall of Fame! 1 Kings 17:1
Is there a Hall of Fame in Heaven? Who is going to be in it? Will you be in it or will you be on the J.V. Team? Will God have to enroll you in remedial courses? Will the martyr’s be there? Will the servants of all be there? Some are probably thinking if i can just get my foot in the door! O’ you of little Faith! There is a Faith Hall of Fame! Elijah was a Prophet of Israel who went to King Ahab and told him he was a jerk! Elijah did not worry about losing his 501c tax benefit for his ministry! His ministry was not about collecting money! Great leaders could care less about money but will sacrifice their lives for the benefit of the people! Martin Luther King is one of those men i have witnessed in my life time! King Ahab married Jezebel who was basically a witch! She had a lot of brooms in her closet! They together had raised up an altar to Baal worship in Israel. Baal worship was sacrificial child worship like abortion is today in America! Elijah told Ahab there would be no rain in Israel until this stopped! Remember Elijah and all Israel was going to suffer in this drought! Great leaders are willing to suffer! However God sends Elijah to a brook that feeds the Jordon river and sends a raven to him to bring food daily! After the brook dried up God sends Elijah to a widow and her small son! Elijah asks the widow for food and she gladly obliges telling him she was preparing her last meal so they could all die! God does a miracle and keeps food in her pantry! Then her son gets sick to death and she blames Elijah? Elijah prays and the little boy recovers! The widow finally proclaims Elijah is a man of God and speaks truth! Elijah’s prominence among the Old Testament Prophets is seen in the fact that the forerunner of Christ, John the Baptist, was to come in the Spirit and Power of Elijah! Elijah representing the Prophets and Moses representing the Law stood with Jesus on the Mount of Transfiguration! Thankyou. James and Hamsa Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com
