EPHRAIM'S ARROW--JEWISH STUDIES


Weather By The Hour

Don't forget as you check on the weather to check in with the One who calms the storms!

 

Fields White To Harvest

 

 

Lord, I thought I knew you,

   but know the winds have changed.

Tossed away, will you find me?

   Can still , my heart be sustained?

Just me and you when things were new,

then the season's storms blew by.

   Did I forget to worship you?

 

Will you come, Lord Jesus to gather us- your sheep.

   For the days grow long and still,

If we watch and wait, will you hear us yet-

   Can we stand strong to do you will?

 

 The wheat has been blowing in that field,

   While the laborers are so few.

What then, now are we waiting for?

   Can hardened hearts become like new?

 

 Safely can we stay behind you,

   as we march with your trumpet sound?

Or- have we stayed and hid so long now,

   That our roots dry underground?

 

 I pray Lord that you will find me.

   I pray not to be ashamed.

I seek you when it's early Lord.

   I pray not to fall away.

 

So come Lord Jesus come quickly-

   The terrible day is at hand.

I pray we'll all be steadfast.

   So you may strengthen our spirits ,

as we stand.

Sarah Palin, Thomas Jefferson, Ronald Reagan--Do Not Stifle Debate For Evil--Shootings In Tucson

Jefferson quoted in his Bill for Religious Freedom '...and finally, that truth is great and will prevail if left to herself; that she is the proper and sufficient antagonist to error, and has nothing to fear from the conflict unless by human interposition disarmed of her natural weapons, free argument and debate.'

It simply means truth always prevails over evil and error unless man interposes-- cut off-- free argument and debate.

 

The recent shootings in Tucson, Arizona by Jared Lougher has led the American people to look at where America is headed amidst the news frenzy.

 

 

 Jared Lougher has inadvertenly led the American people to look at the two sides of what is right and what is wrong for the future of  America.  That is indeed what was pointed out by Sarah Palin on her video "America's Enduring Strength".  She sought wisdom from the LORD and it shows and she's reminding us of the importance of free argument and debate.

 

 

Throughout out history we see exceptional leaders derive their greatness from seeking the giver of wisdom.  We see it in the picture of George Washington on his knees at Valley Forge and back then he was in the midst of a war.  In 1777 at Valley Forge many of his soldiers died for lack of supplies such as shoes, blankets etc.  Many of the soldiers had to have their feet and legs amputated.  Under those circumstances George Washington humbly prayed to Almighty God for his people.  And God Almighty heard and we continue to benefit from those answered prayers today.

Sarah Palin, I believe heard from the Lord and she has turned the conversation around the right way. 

She said "No one must be deterred from speaking up and speaking out in peaceful dissent.  And we certainly must not be deterred by those who embrace evil and call it good.  And we will not be stopped from celebrating the greatness of our country and our foundational freedoms by those who mock it's greatness by being intolerant of differing opinion and seeking to muzzle dissent with shrill cries of imagined insults."

For too long that has been the route we have been heading.  It is time that stopped.  November 2nd showed where we wanted to go and the likes of Jared Loughner and those who wish to use that tragedy to stifle the rest of us will not prevail.

We are one nation under God and with God nothing is impossible.  Freedom will reign for where the Spirit of the Lord is--there is Liberty.

 He wounded thirteen and killed these:

U.S. District Judge John Roll, 63; Dorthy Murray, 76; Dorwin Stoddard, 76; Christina Greene, 9; Phyllis Scheck, 79; Gabe Zimmerman, 30.

We pray for Gabrielle Gifford and the others victimized by this lost soul who wanted to kill, steal and destroy.

We honor them by making sure that this continues to be a land where the goodness in people's hearts shines like a city on a hill.  And with God's help we can.

The counsel of the LORD standeth forever, the thoughts of his heart to all generations.  Psalm 33:11

Sarah Palin--A Voice For Such A Time As This--Shining The Truth On the Likes of Jared Loughner

The horrible event in Tucson, Arizona resulted in a media frenzy that brought out  how ugly things can get when the wrong line of thinking is put out.  It was almost like a feeding frenzy for putting out whatever one can get a hold of, suppositions, blames which moved the emotions of the majority of Americans.

The news has to pique people's interest and they did but sometimes unfortunately with helping the wrong rhetoric and fanning the blame game.  Unlike the Ft. Hood shootings where the American were being told not to play the blame game by the main stream media, this one was quite the opposite.  Why is that?  It seemingly depends on their agenda as to who is to be blamed or not. 

But then here comes Sarah Palin with her video and she rightfully points out with a reminder from Ronald Reagan truths that needs to come out.  Quit playing the blame game which eventually leads to more of our rights as lawful citizens being taken away because of the hate that is unfortunately in some people of society.  There is nothing new under the sun and we can learn from the past and react in the right way with reason and clarity.  Thank you Sarah for letting the light of truth shine.  May God bless you and may God bless America. Here are excerpts from her speech:

"...Our exceptional country so vibrant with ideas and passionate exchange and debate of ideas--its a light to the rest of the world.  Congresswoman Gifford and her constituents were exercising their right to exchange ideas that day to celebrate our republics core valuesand peacefully assemble to petition our government...

Pres Reagan said we must reject the idea that everytime a law is broken society is guilty rather than the lawbreaker.  It is time to restore the American precept that that each individual is accountablefor his actions.  Acts of mounstorus criminality stand on their own.  They begin and end with the criminals who commit them, not collectively with all the citizens of those of a state...not with those who listen to talk radio,... ,not with law abiding citizens that exercise their first amendment rights in campaign rallies, not with those who proudly voted in the last election.  The last election was all about taking responsibility for our country's future.

There are those who claim to say political rhetoric is to blame...

Public discourse and debate isn't a sign of crisis... it is part of why America is exceptional!

No one must be deterred from speaking up and speaking out in peaceful dissent.  And we certainly must not be deterred by those who embrace evil and call it good.  And we will not be stopped from celebrating the greatness of our country and our foundational freedoms by those who mock it's greatness by being intolerant of differing opinion and seeking to muzzle dissent with shrill cries of imagined insults.

It is in the hour when our values are challenged that we must remain resolved to protect those values.

...In times like these WE need GOD's guidance and the peace he provides.   We need strength to not to let the random acts of a criminal turn us against ourselves or weaken our solid foundation or provide a pretext to stifle debate.

America must be stonger than the evil we saw displayed last week.  We are better than the mindless finger pointing we endured in the wake of the tragedy.  We will come out of this stronger and more united in our desire to peacefully engage in the great debate of our times to respectfully embrace our differences in a positive manner.  And to unite in the knowledge though our ideas may be different, we must all strive for a better future for our country. Yes, may God bless America.

The Tea Party and Sarah Palin--How They Won't Labour in Vain!

Why is America flocking to Sarah Palin? In a world that is seemingly upside down--where people feel they are losing their bearings as they are passed to and fro by the waves of today's cultural changes--is a beacon of light named Sarah. She came to the limelight not of her own choosing but in an answer to a call. And in today's state of the American Woman who now joins in the fight in the battlefield of war she also decides to join in the battlefield of politics.

She was hailed as the very popular governor of Alaska and the work she was doing against giants in the oil business was respected for the hope it provided for her state. Amidst the tumult of Presidential politics she dared to give birth to a disabled child that doctors today normally does not allow to enter this world alive. And in spite of a double whammy with a daughter in trouble--her and her husband's love shone through. She also kept on speaking the truth instead of what's politically correct--how amazing is that! To top it off, she gave us a picture of a hockey mom with the tenacity of a pit bull lined with lipstick and we cheered! Here, finally, was someone in politics who was proud to be a mom and who could fight and at the same time keep her femininity.

In this new era, we saw in Sarah an Abigail and an Esther combined in a politician. She gave us hope when we saw her fight in the tough political arena surrounded by power and fame as she did what many consider "unthinkable" (hold with pride her disabled baby). And I amongst many, thanks her, for in that instant we saw something better than good--we saw the heart of a loving mother--who did what should always be done--value the life of a child ahead of her own future. She reminded us then and she reminds us now--there is goodness and mercy even in the halls of power--and there is still room for the least of us.

Why is she this way?  Well we can take heart America--she's learned well from the same good book the Founders did--the Holy Bible. It worked for them and it will work for us as well. As a matter of fact that is probably where Sarah's anchor is. She has a knowledge of God and it shows. And because her foundations are solid we will know how she will stand unlike many in Congress today. She has a servant's heart and will serve not just her family well, but will also serve this nation well.

She really doesn't have it in her to do otherwise--she has stood the test of time. Perfect she's not--no one is but as a politician she is close enough to perfect for me. And as far as knowledge- what's needed to accomplish the goal--she's already proven that in her state of Alaska (ask the oil companies). In comparison with others in the highest of places--her record is full of truly making it a better place for those she served. I think that's why those ready for real visible change vs promises are flocking behind her. She's a proven entity that when the going gets tough--the tough gets going and you don't let the enemy corner you-- instead you find a better way to be heard. In the land of the free and home of the brave that is something men and women alike in the tea party want in their leaders today.

Sarah has revolutionized the thinking of many men of today. She is even being seen by them as a viable Presidential Candidate. Whether or not she becomes President, only time will tell but one thing I see--she has raised the equality of woman to man -the right way.

She has proven herself not an antagonist to men but a helper, after all, I believe that was part of God's plan when he made Eve. It is timely, as in today's world, it will take both of us-- men and women to fight the tide that seeks to destroy our future as well as our children's future. We see that in the economy, in education and in morality--troubles loom large and seems to be everywhere.  Defend we must! So come on America, let's pray, and join together in this land where the tough gets going. A new American Revolution is underway--but let's follow the Founding Father's way! And together we can-- throw out some tea!

Benjamin Franklin said ----

In the beginning of the Contest with G. Britain, when we were sensible of danger we had daily prayer in this room for the divine protection.- Our prayers, Sir, were heard, graciously answered....

I see of this truth- that God Governs in the affairs of men. And if a sparrow cannot fall to the ground without his notice, is it probable that an empire can rise without his aid? We have been assured, Sir, in the sacred writings, that "except the Lord build the House they labour in vain that build it." I firmly believe this; and I also believe that without his concurring aid we shall succeed in this political building no better, than the Builders of Babel...

I therefore beg leave to move- henceforth prayers imploring the assistance of Heaven, and its blessings on our deliberations, be held in this Assembly every morning before we proceed to business...

God Uses The Foolish Things Of This World To Confound Or Put To Shame The Wise

Message of hope being heard in small town America--City On A Hill Radio Show--because God has not forgotten America and to whom much is given--much is expected.  Tune in and be encouraged to act.

But God has chosen the foolish things of the world to put to shame the wise, and God has chosen the weak things of the world to put to shame the things which are mighty; 1 Corinthians 1:27

I believe Sarah Palin is going to be a living example of this verse, to us as Christians and to the secular world of Hollywood, intellectuals and media elites. Through no fault of her own, she and her family have been viciously criticized, belittled, and slandered and yet, she continues to draw crowds and fans by the thousands. What is it about this woman that brings out the most venemous blogs, commentaries and articles I've ever seen in my 52 years of living? I believe it is what the above verse says. Actually, I like how the Old King James version states it. Instead of using the words, "put to shame," it uses the word, "confound," a much better word to describe Sarah Palin and the real "gut" reaction the elitist have to her. They just don't quite know what it is they don't like about her. It's just there..."confounding" them.

I think I know. I believe God has raised her and others that we may not even be aware of yet ,"for such a time as this." There are many Esters, Deborahs, Daniels and Josephs out there who are not intimidated by the enemy and Sarah Palin is one of them. She has the elite media and intellectuals "confounded." They're all talking about her, trying to figure out what she is going to do and everytime they think, "aha, we have her now," she does something completely unexpected.

After Sarah gave her resignation speech, all of the commentators and politicians were in a frenzy trying to analyze and criticize, but when I heard her resignation speech, I knew. Here is a woman who is not afraid to speak the truth, even if it's not the "politically correct" thing to say. She speaks to the heart of middle America, the common men and women, you know, the ones who cling to their guns and religion and at the same time she has the heart of a woman and mother who speaks out for the unborn and handicapped and says their lives are of value in a country that has numbed its conscience to these precious individuals. This is a woman who has been ridiculed for her faith and her conservative values like no other woman in the public arena. I don't know what God has planned for Sarah Palin, but I am thankful for her and I'm praying for God to raise others up in our nation who will be willing to take a stand no matter the cost.
