The Examiner: “During a House Ways and Means Committee hearing today, Rep. Aaron Schock, R-Ill., grilled outgoing IRS commissioner Steven Miller about the IRS targeting a pro-life group in Iowa.

“Their question, specifically asked from the IRS to the Coalition for Life of Iowa: ‘Please detail the content of the members of your organization’s prayers,’” Schock declared.

“Would that be an inappropriate question to a 501 c3 applicant?” asked Schock. “The content of one’s prayers?”

It pains me to say I can’t speak to that one either,” Miller replied.”

Christian Post: When a quarterback throws a pass in a football game, he is obviously trying to get the ball to one of his teammates. It is never his intention for a player on the opposing team to intercept it, but sometimes that is exactly what happens. The quarterback meant well, but the result of his pass ended up benefiting the other team.

“But wait,” someone may say. “Believers in heaven are not dead, but alive.”  True, and thankfully so. Their earthly body died, but their spirit is alive in heaven and will be granted a perfect heavenly body at the end of time. (see 1 Cor.15:42-53) So yes, they are not really dead. But that doesn’t mean they hear our prayers, or provide even the slightest bit of assistance in answer to our prayers, regardless of how noble their lives may have been while on earth.

God doesn’t use saints in heaven to bless saints on earth. Instead, God utilizes His holy angels to minister to His children on earth. (see Hebrews 1:14) God would have told us in His Word if He wanted us praying to angels, or praying to believers who have gone before us into heaven. We have a much better mediator, “the man Christ Jesus.” (1 Timothy 2:5) He is fully God, and fully Man. And He is more than able to hear millions of prayers at the same time from Christians all over the world, and to provide exactly what we need in answer to them.

obama-immigration-sign-apBreitbart: “The Heritage study reports that newly legalized immigrants will receive $9.4 trillion in government welfare and retirement benefits over their lifetime. Heritage estimates they will pay $3.1 trillion in taxes, adding over $6 trillion to the national debt. Each amnestied immigrant would receive $592,000 more in benefits than he paid in taxes.”

Opinion: What kind of ideology would you adhere to that would make you willing to give amnesty and government financial aid to millions upon millions of immigrants that entered the country illegally?

Oh, I’m aware that millions upon millions of people receiving Santa Claus packages will be a gigantic voting bloc, but are there that many politicians so desperate to stay in office that bankrupting the nation is of secondary importance?

Here’s what we’re doing:

  • High unemployment- let more illegals in.
  • Out of control debt – give more government benefits.
  • Health care costs rising – let the government run it.
  • New antibiotic-resistant venereal diseases – encourage middle school children and younger to experiment with sex.
  • Radical Muslim terror attacks in US cities - label it workplace violence and property damage and lone wolf

Here’s how to fix it:

Turn to God and pray like never before, 1 Thessalonians 5:17.

The Bible -- fact or fiction?

Foxnews.com: “In spite of the 11.7 million viewers that tuned into the series finale and the half million DVD units sold within the first week of release, the real  question is: do people believe these Bible stories to be fact or fiction?
