All great and honorable actions are accompanied with great difficulties and overcome with answerable courage! William Bradford, Plymouth Colony Governor, 1621.

Who Invented Crucifixion?
The first historical record was about 519 BC when King Darius I of Persia (Iran), crucified 3000 political opponents in Babylon. It was later employed by the Greeks especially Alexander the Great and by the Carthaginians from whom the Romans adapted the practice as a punishment for criminal slaves and illegal immigrants.Crucifixion was not introduced into Palestine until Hellenistic times. The Seleucid Antiochus 4th Epiphanes crucified Jews who would not accept Hellenization. The Roman Empire crucified millions of Christians! How many have recognized crucifixion has been revived with hundreds of Christians crucified in Iraq and Syria! As Iran is empowered by the United States look for the Persians to use their old invention to go after more Christians today! Thankyou. James and Hamsa Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com
Great Leadership!
It is characteristic excellence of the strong man that he bring momentous issues to the fore and make a decision about them! The weak are always forced to decide between alternatives they have not chosen themselves! Dietrich Bonhoeffer Comment; What was the alternative to the Cross? Failure! What is the alternative to work? Welfare. Every leader is following someone! There are two types of leaders. One will lead you to Heaven and one will lead you to Hell! Your outcome in life and eternity will be determined by who you follow! Hell is a poor alternative! The bum going through the trash dumpster is living on alternatives! God is love and Satan is fear! What method does your leader use? Thankyou. James and Hamsa Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com
Two Best Days of Your Life?
There are two great days in a person’s life—the day you were born and the day you discover why! William Barclay (1907-1978)
The Strength of Great Wisdom! 1Cor. 1:20-25
Verse 25– “Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men.” What is Paul talking about here? He is talking about the Cross! This is God’s genius plan! Christ! Born of a virgin? Sinless? Dies on a cruel Cross as a common criminal? Rose from the grave? Conquered death and hell? Seated at the right hand of His Father right now? If you could figure this out it would not be of God! Only the revelation of God through His Holy Spirit can reveal this to you! Spiritual discernment is required not man’s wisdom! Pilot told Jesus I will determine whether you live or die! Jesus told Pilot I lay down my life! Using man’s wisdom you will decide to enslave others! That is what all our wars have been about over history! Using God’s wisdom you will serve others! When you make decisions love people through the Cross! The world’s way is to use power to dominate them! God’s way is to serve men! I traveled down to Central America last week. I know enough Spanish just to get by! The people there encouraged me there to stay there for some time and learn their language! It would probably take me about two years! Why do we hear these messages over and over again every Sunday? Why do we take communion every week? Is it we have nothing else to do? We need to learn the language of God! We need to learn His language! If you are in love with God read His Bible! Study, pray and do the things that please Him! Live righteously! Hate sin! Love God! Love people! Serve others sacrificially! Praise Him! Serve Him! As we come forward for communion this morning let us receive His language of love! Excerpt from message by Pastor Brady Boyd, New Life Church, Colorado Springs, Colorado. His entire message may be viewed by going to web site; NewLifeChurch.org
Why is Social Media Popular?
Great minds discuss ideas, average minds discuss events, small minds discuss people! Eleanor Roosevelt Comment: Great minds come up with ideas and sell them to dummies! Great minds get rich and the dummies stay poor! I have a solar clothes dryer for sale! Thankyou. James and Hamsa Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com
Which One Are You?
Small minds are concerned with the extraordinary, great minds with the ordinary! Blaise Pascal Comment: This is how a king and a spider end up in the same palace! Small minds? This is why lottery tickets sell. This is why drugs sell. This is why a political party sells that offers free stuff. Remember the book that sold millions? Eighty eight reasons why Jesus is coming back in 1988. This is how ISIS gets recruits. Just send in your $88.00 dollars and you will get rich! If you have no conscience then create a product for small minds because they are in the majority! I am not ashamed to admit this but during the 1973 Arab oil embargo everyone was pushing for energy conservation. Much like Obama today and his bankrupt taxpayer funded solar energy companies! I saw an ad in the Popular Mechanics magazine for a solar clothes dryer for only $5.00 dollars! I sent my money in and received this large box in the mail and opened it only to find a 3 foot clothes line in the bottom of the box? Focus on the ordinary! Thankyou. James and Hamsa Sasse GodWhoisGod.com
America’s Greatness!
This country has gotten where it is in spite of politics, not by the aid of it! That we have carried as much political bunk as we have and still survived shows we are a super nation! Will Rogers, Daily Telegram, Nov. 1, 1932
Consummation of Christmas! Revelation 11:15
And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ, and he shall reign forever and ever! Merry Christmas! James and Hamsa. GodWhoisGod.com
Warning To The Slavery Party—1856
Don’t interfere with anything in the constitution. That must be maintained, for it is the only safe guard of our liberties, and not to democrats alone do I make this appeal, but all who love these great and true principles! Source; Abraham Lincoln, August 27, 1856.
