The Shotgun Wedding Supper of the Lamb!

First of all, I hope you recognize the sarcasm in the title for what it is. I in no way believe that scaring people into heaven by scaring the hell out of them is even remotely related to anything Jesus Christ told us to do!
Far too many times I have seen preachers and evangelists of all denominations using scare tactics to get people to the altar. Just turn on your television on Sunday morning and I bet you hear some of it. 
I think we all know the kind of preaching that I'm talking about. The kind of preaching that can be boiled down to one phrase, and that phrase is this, 'If you don't come down to this alter tonight and get yourself saved then you'll go to hell and burn forever! Don't put it off any longer!!'
I challenge any one of you reading this message to show me IN THE BIBLE where Jesus said to do this! It ain't there. 
Before we go any further, you need to understand that fear is a tool of Satan. It is my opinion that any preacher that is using fear in his sermons is being GREATLY used by Satan. You see, in order to be saved we must repent. Repentance requires sincerity, and being sincerely scared doesn't automatically mean that you are sincerely repentant. This is one of Satan's grandest schemes. He has lured you into a false sense of security about your salvation because you scared and manipulated into making a snap decision. This is what I refer to as 'the shotgun wedding supper of the Lamb!' people are being scared into making a commitment to someone that they really don't love! It never lasts! You must fall in love before you can make a commitment, not after. Even a relationship with Jesus needs time to grow. 
Jesus told us what to do. He told us to go out and preach the GOSPEL. What does that mean, you ask. Well, let's look at what Wikipedia calls gospel:

A gospel is an account, often written, that describes the life of Jesus of Nazareth. According to the bible, the "Gospel", is also defined as the "Word" that comes from God. The First Epistle of Peter 1:25, references Isaiah 40:8. The grass withereth, the flower fadeth:but the Word of our God shall stand forever. 1 Peter 1:25...the word of the Lord endureth forever. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you.

Isaiah 39:8...Good is the word... Isaiah 40:5 ...for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it. Therefore, out of the mouth of God, is the good news, glad tidings, or what is also known as, the gospel. In a more general sense the term "gospel" may refer to the good news message of the New Testament. It is primarily used in reference to the four canonical gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. However, the term is also used to refer to the apocryphal gospels, the non-canonical gospels, the Jewish gospels and the gnostic gospels.

So what is the 'Good News'? That God Almighty aka Jesus Christ, loves you without end!  That we can have eternal life with the creator of all the universe, and it's REAL easy! Believe that He was who He said He was, and that he defeated death, hell, and the grave. 
See Matthew 24:14. After Jesus rose from the dead, he commanded his disciples to share the Gospel. He said, "Go into all the world and preach the Gospel to all creatures." See Mark 16:15. He did not say "go forth and scare the hell out of people until they repent!"
Where there is faith, fear cannot exist. Likewise where fear dwells, faith cannot be found. If someone is using even the most subtle fear tactics such as, 'you're gonna miss heaven if you ______!' , I would be very wary of all of their teachings. Fear only comes from one place! 
Please, if you are going to share the gospel with the world, just share the gospel. Do not share fear! Do not give Satan the glory. 
I realize that my message may not be popular, and you may think that I am totally wrong. That is ok. I have only shared what has been on my heart for some time. I welcome any comments or private messages at bradygvaughn@gmail.com

Thank you for reading!

If You Are On The Fence About Ron Paul, Read This!

Dear Fellow Conservative,

In this race for the Republican nomination for President, there is one very big and very real "conspiracy" that's been going on since day one.

But it's not one members of the media bother to speak about very often.

So today, I'm going to lay the facts bare.

The real conspiracy is my opponents' attempts to masquerade as conservatives when, in reality, they're anything but!

Just take a look at my campaign's "Three of a Kind" TV ad to see what I'm talking about.



And after you watch it, won't you please contribute as generously as you can to my Super Tuesday Final Push to help me run this ad in key Super Tuesday states?

I hope you will.

The truth is, right now, our nation is over $15 TRILLION in debt. 

More and more Americans are realizing that we must change course - and FAST.

But a recent study of my opponents' economic plans showed that every one would only INCREASE our federal debt!

My plan?  It does exactly what I say it will do - it enacts REAL spending cuts and puts our nation back on the path to prosperity.

But it's not just the facts about their economic plans my opponents are trying to hide.  Just consider:
***    Whether it's the $700 billion TARP bailout, traditional marriage, abortion, the Second Amendment, or taxes and spending, Mitt Romney has been on both sides of virtually every issue important to conservative voters;

***    From supporting TARP, to Cap-and-Tax, to the individual mandate central to "ObamaCare," to getting paid $1.6 million by Freddie Mac to keep the housing bubble expanding, the truth is, Newt Gingrich has a record even Barack Obama would be proud of;

***    Rick Santorum voted to DOUBLE the size of the Department of Education, give millions of taxpayer dollars to Planned Parenthood, and even voted with Big Labor against a National Right to Work Act to end forced union dues nationwide.

Now media reports are saying Big Labor is hoping for a Barack Obama vs. Rick Santorum showdown this November. 

That way, it's a win for the union bosses regardless of the outcome!

These are hardly conservative records.



One the other hand, I've spent more than 30 years consistently advocating the Founding principles of individual liberty, free markets, sound money, and constitutional government.

The American people are realizing this fact, which is why I'm drawing crowds by the thousands at each rally I hold across the country.

It's also why I have a real shot at winning the Republican nomination because of my campaign's incredible success at picking up delegate after delegate below the radar.

And when I WIN the Republican nomination, it's going to wreck the establishment's Big Government, big spending gravy train.

But with Super Tuesday fast approaching, it's critical my campaign has the funds to turn out as many supporters of mine as possible and run TV ads like "Three of a Kind."

So can I count on you to make a generous contribution to my Super Tuesday Final Push?

I hope you will.

The truth is, I'm the only candidate who you can trust to do exactly what I say I'll do if elected President.

When I say I'm going to cut $1 TRILLION in federal spending during the first year of my Presidency and balance our budget by the third year - I mean it!

But as I mentioned, my campaign must have the resources during this last crucial push before Super Tuesday.

So please, make the most generous contribution you possibly can afford to my Super Tuesday Final Push.

Even if it's just $50, $25 - or $10 - it'd be greatly appreciated and you can be confident it'll be put to good use.

Together, you and I can Restore America NOW!


For Liberty,


Ron Paul

P.S.  The real "conspiracy" in this race for the presidency is my opponents masquerading as conservatives when, in reality, they're anything but.

The truth is, I'm the only candidate in this race you can trust to CUT spending, balance our budget, and stand up for limited constitutional government.

My campaign is feverishly trying to get the word out with our "Three of a Kind" TV ad.

Please help me run this TV ad in as many Super Tuesday states as possible by contributing to my campaign's Super Tuesday Final Push with your most generous contribution.

Is This Racist?? BUCHANAN TO OBAMA

Finally............ It is Said Publicly.    I have never seen the white side explained better! Pat Buchanan had the guts to say it. It is about time.  
 
 
BUCHANAN  TO  OBAMA
       By  Patrick J.  Buchanan

Barack says we need to have a  conversation about race in America .. Fair enough. But this time, it has to be a two-way conversation.. White America needs to be heard from,  not just lectured to.... This time, the Silent Majority needs to have its  convictions, grievances and demands heard. And among them are  these:

First,     America has  been the best country on earth for black folks. It was here that  600,000 black people, brought from Africa in slave ships, grew into a  community of 40 million, were introduced to Christian salvation, and  reached the greatest levels of freedom and prosperity blacks have ever  known.. Wright ought to go down on his knees and thank God he is an  American.

Second, no people anywhere has done more to lift up blacks than white Americans.  Untold trillions have been spent since the ' 60s on welfare, food stamps, rent supplements, Section 8 housing, Pell grants, student loans,  legal services, Medicaid, Earned Income Tax Credits and poverty programs designed to bring the African-American community into the mainstream.Governments, businesses and colleges have engaged in discrimination against white folks -- with affirmative action, contract set-asides and quotas -- to advance black applicants over white applicants.Churches, foundations, civic groups, schools and individuals all over America have donated their time and money to support soup kitchens, adult education, day care, retirement and nursing homes for blacks.
We hear the  grievances. Where is the gratitude??

Barack talks about new 'ladders of opportunity' for blacks. Let him go to Altoona ?  And Johnstown , and ask the white kids in Catholic schools how many were visited lately by Ivy League recruiters handing out scholarships for 'deserving' white kids...? Is white America really responsible for the fact that the crime and incarceration rates for African-Americans are seven times those of whiteAmerica ?  Is it really white America 's  fault that illegitimacy in the African-American community has hit 70 percent and the black dropout rate from high schools in some cities has reached 50 percent?

Is that the fault of white America or, first and foremost, a failure of the black community itself?

As for racism, its ugliest manifestation is in interracial crime, and especially interracial crimes of violence. Is Barack Obama aware that while white criminals choose black victims 3 percent of the time, black criminals choose white victims 45 percent of the time?

Is Barack aware  that black-on-white rapes are 100 times more common than the reverse,  that black-on-white robberies were 139 times as common in the first  three years of this decade as the reverse?

We have all heard ad nauseam from the Rev. Al  about Tawana Brawley, the Duke rape case and Jena . And all turned out to be hoaxes. But about the epidemic of black assaults on whites that are real, we hear nothing.
 
Sorry, Barack, some of us have heard it all before, about 40 years and 40 trillion tax dollars ago.

I'm for a better America

I am
Not racist,
Not violent,
Just not silent anymore.

How to survive a Zombie attack......

Become a liberal democrat! Zombies feed on brains:-D

Buying- PDS, AUQ, VRTX, HCA

You know when you go to Red Lobster how they've got that tank where you can pick your dinner? I wish Kentucky Fried Chicken would do something similar!

Do We Really Need To Get Involved!

Can someone please explain to me why America needs to protect Israel from Iran? Don't get me wrong, I support Israel, but don't they have a big enough arsenal to wipe out every nation on that side of the planet? I mean come on, why put our soldiers in harms way AGAIN, especially for a country that can handle this problem better if we stay out of it?

I Think I Mentioned That This Stock Was About To POP!

Yes I know that it was a little bit over a month ago, but had you bought it when I suggested last month Jan 12th when it was at $21.40 you would be well into the green. For those that took my advice and bought, even though it was a bit early, you are riding a raging bull. I'm staying on with a 5% stop loss trigger, you follow your gut on this one.
On to the Foreign Currency markets, I am buying AUD/JPY (and have been for awhile) on the day charts, and I'm stayning on all the to 89.555. I'm thinking that somewhere between there and 91.000 we are gonna find resistance and things will go south for a while. I'm short on EUR/USD (also on the day charts) all the way to 1.28350ish.
People call me CRAZY for trading the day and week charts, but I ask you, do you think that George Soros sits at his computer all day making $200 trades on the minute charts? Well, neither do I! Trade the days charts!!

Great Gumbo weather! Thanks babe;)

54 Degrees outside and raining....Yeah thats when you cook a gumbo!
Make your Roux (the darker the better, but dont scorch it), boil a whole chicken, cook a little smoked sausage, onion, celery, and garlic, a little Zatarains or T-boys cajun seasoning, then throw it all together in a put and let it simmer! Then serve over rice (some folks like it over potato salad...I like both)! It dont get no better! ENJOY!!

Hey, Foreign Exchange Traders!!

I've been buying AUD/JPY on the day charts for awhile now and loving it! Any opinions on when resistance should kick in? My opinion is somewhere in the neighborhood oh 91.500. It's been a good ride so far, and looks as though it still has some life!
In stocks, I'm still holding CHK. I still believe it's at the bottom and just gearing up for a monster run UP!
