Hello, I am new here

[Soldier4Christ]

I was quite pleased to see that also. I am especially impressed with Sarah Palin.

Hello Islandboy,

I watched quite a bit of the Republican Convention, and I was also impressed. I especially liked Governor Sarah Palin. She is a breath of fresh air, and we certainly needed one. I'm still listening, watching, and praying to determine what to do in voting. Things are more positive now than they were, and I am thinking about the Republicans. It was refreshing to hear and see GOD and country as priorities. I also have some changing thoughts about McCain. I really think that many Christians are more optimistic now. Regardless of what happens in the election, GOD will still be with us, and we are still eternally secure in HIS MIGHTY HANDS. HIS Will be done, and it WILL BE!

Love In Christ,
Tom

Christian Quotes 84 - There is only one relationship that matters, and
that is your personal relationship to a personal Redeemer and Lord.
Let everything else go, but maintain that at all cost, and God will
fulfill His purpose through your life. (This includes meeting the
needs of your heart) One individual life may be of priceless value to
God's purpose, and yours may be that life. -- Oswald Chambers

 Tom, I was wondering about your website. I had a link to it from my website and now it isn't working. Did you stop it or just change your link?
I am really pleased with John McCain picking Sarah Pulin also. Together they brought home the spirit of the good ole USA, something that has been lacking for a very long time.

I didn't put my web site back up after changing Internet Service Providers. I wanted to change the site dramatically anyway, and I just haven't had the energy and determination to get it done yet. I have worked on a few ideas and hope to have something up soon.

Sorry to be away for so long. I have been trying to keep up with the ever-changing events that in many ways are down-right scary. I am trying to provide links on my website that go to news sites that can be trusted. I have some nagging doubts about fox news, but nothing I can really point my finger at.  I guess the best thing one can do now is in the old saying "to keep your friends close and your enemies closer".  There will be very difficult times ahead. Keep you faith and pray for the souls of the many who are blinded by the one who is not. Indonesia is controlled by Russia. Islam is not a controlling factor there, but communism is. This is who wants to control our government. If they throw out OB, there will be terrible riots in the US. If they do not it will be just as bad, or maybe worse. At first it will seem not so bad, but then.....! Go to: http://www.crossroad.to/Victory/testimonies/nazi.htm
Keep praying my friends. Do not believe everything that you see and hear is the truth. We know that the Antichrist comes before our dear Lord.

Good to see you sister

[Soldier4Christ]

Hello islandboy,

It is great to see you here.

Yes, things are changing quite quickly in the forefront. Much of this has been in the works though for many years. Many are and many will be deceived. This is about much more than communism or islam. As horrendous as both are these are just the tools that are being used to accomplish the evil that is yet to come.

For some more on the link that you gave take a look at these posts here and you will see what I mean about this being in the works for sometime now.

Even as you spoke of ... we know that these things must be and we also know that the Lord Jesus will be with us through it all. Yes, we must keep the faith and rest in His arms throughout it all. All of this means that the time for our Lord to return is all that much closer. What a glorious day that will be.

I know you are asking Islandboy but....     I have some cousins in Ft. Walton Beach, and some others (that I don't hear from) in Miami, Tampa area and Palm Beach.  I love the tropics but don't think I can take the hurricanes.

I'm from Gulf Breeze Florida I also have friends and family in Ft. Walton Beach ! 
Always watching out for the bad weather in the later summer. 
Hope everyone is having a wonderful day!

Hello Chris!

I live in Southwest Oklahoma, and I try to remember that every day in this short life belongs to the LORD. This is another wonderful day that the LORD has made - let us be glad and rejoice in it.

My son lives in Florida, and we do pray for him often, especially when the hurricanes come. Obviously, Oklahoma has a reputation for rough weather even more often. I've lived here all my life, so I'm used to it. I think that the key in hard times of any type is simply to pray and trust GOD. Whatever happens in this short life, we are in GOD'S Hands and know who holds all of our tomorrows for Eternity.

Love In Christ,
Tom

Revelation 22:7  Behold, I come quickly: blessed is he that keepeth the saying of the prophecy of this book.

Hello Islandboy!

I echo the thoughts of Pastor Roger. YES, I also think that times are going to get hard, but I also know that the time for going HOME is getting closer by the day. I'm convinced that the best thing for Christians to do is to pray, pray some more, study our Bibles, and yield to GOD'S Perfect Will for us until the last moment when HE Takes us HOME. I also firmly believe that our fellowship with each other will become more important by the day. We should know that we are never alone because GOD is with us, but it's also nice to be strengthened and encouraged by fellowship with other Christians. Increasingly, this world is going to hate Christians regardless of what we do or don't do, but this world isn't our HOME. GOD Loves us, and HE is our Heavenly Father - the KING OF KINGS! In fact, we are HIS Children with a full inheritance with the Saints in LIGHT. There are many beautiful things for us to look forward to.

Love In Christ,
Tom

Psalms 78:4-6  We will not hide them from their children, shewing to the generation to come the praises of the LORD, and his strength, and his wonderful works that he hath done.  5  For he established a testimony in Jacob, and appointed a law in Israel, which he commanded our fathers, that they should make them known to their children:  6  That the generation to come might know them, even the children which should be born; who should arise and declare them to their children:

Hi Islandboy,
Welcome to the forum

[islandboy]

Thanks for the welcome back, David james. I have missed the good fellowship I find on this site. Just spending to much time keeping my head above water in dealing with health and concerns about our country. Spending time praying and reading and studying Bible as well.

Welcome to the form Chris. Glad you stopped by here to say Hello. I live near Fort Myers, Florida. While I like the warm weather I am not fond of the hurricanes or the humid weather. Look forward to reading your posts.

Sandra, So glad you stopped by. I should be welcoming you instead of other way around. There is plenty to do and read on this forum, many topic's to choose from so I hope you come by often.

Western  morality may be said to begin with these ten very old, very good rules for living.  Also said, if you want a better world, be a better person.

           THE    TEN    COMMANDMENTS

1. I am the Lord thy God. Thou shalt have no other gods before me.

2. Thou shalt not make thee any graven image.

3. Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain.

4. Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.

5. Honor thy father and thy mother.

6. Thou shalt not kill.

7. Thou shalt not commit adultery.

8. Thou shalt not steal.

9. Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor.

10. Thou shalt not covet.

IF  YOU    WERE

If you were busy being kind,
Before you knew it, you would find
You'd soon forget to think 'twas true
That someone was unkind to you.

If you were busy being glad,
And cheering people who were sad,
Although your heart might ache a bit,
You'd soon forget to notice it.

If you were busy being good,
And doing just the best you could,
You'd not have time to blame some man
Who's doing just the best he can.

If you were busy being right,
You'd find yourself too busy quite
To criticize your neighbor long
Because he's busy being wrong.

Peace
