REPENT v. To turn away from sin, to sorrow or be pained for violating God's holy law, a dishonor to His character and government, and the foulest ingratitude to a Being of infinite benevolence.
Truth Statement by Adrian Rogers:
“It is better to be divided by truth, than to be united in error. It is better to speak the truth that hurts and then heals, than to speak a lie that will comfort and then kill. It is better to be hated for telling the truth, than to be loved for telling a lie. It is better to stand alone with the truth, than to be wrong with a multitude. It is better to ultimately die with the truth, than to live with a lie."
Belief, no matter how sincere, does not determine truth. No, Truth as the Truth is in Jesus and His Word must determine man's belief.

The name of the Thomas Nation homeschool is called "The University of Righteousness." The vision encompasses our girls being trained to become Proverbs 31 and Titus 2 women of God. Our boys, however, are being trained to be poet, warrior, statesmen for the Kingdom of God. Notions of duty, nobility, honor, responsibility, courage, and chivalry are their daily lessons.
Present day examples of these virtues are unfortunately rare. It is precisely this rarity that determines its value. Such is the case, which concerns a British Statesman, Daniel Hannan. Recently, he bravely stood in Parliament, stared down the Prime Minister, and boldly declared what has been needed to be said, but is never said in these cowardly days.
In times past, I've asked the question, "Where are the George Pattons and Winston Churchills of this generation?" For Britain, they need to look no further than Mr. Hannan. May God protect this man, for he is indeed, a leader a time like this demands. This is the kind of leadership that is needed in America. We need principled men to stare Obama in the eye and declare the same self-evident truth.
“The pain I suffered was the worst physical and psychological pain I have ever experienced. I felt deceived and violated. I had no idea what abortion would do to me.” declares Lisa from Texas. Click here to read more of Lisa's story
“As I left the abortion facility, I was told, “Everything will be alright. You can go on with your life. ... My life was never the same. ... I immediately went into a deep depression," declares Cindy from Louisiana. Click here to read more of Cindy's story
"I want women and men to know that you can never imagine the pain unless you’ve gone through it yourself. … I don’t want other women to experience the pain that I have had." declares Rebecca from Florida. Click here to read more of Rebecca's story

The Supreme Court is listening! Citing sworn testimony presented by The Justice Foundation, the Court upheld the federal ban on the gruesome, “partial-birth abortion”, procedure. The Court stated, “Whether to have an abortion requires a difficult and painful moral decision” and is “fraught with emotional consequence.”
The Court was right. Abortion has devastated us and millions of other women. The Supreme Court declared that abortion can cause “severe depression and loss of self-esteem,”but the Court also said there is no reliable data on the size of the problemat this time. That’s why we need your help to collect ONE MILLION VOICES.
Operation Outcry (www.operationoutcry.org), The Justice Foundation’s project to reverse Roe v. Wade, has already collected over 2,300 legally admissible testimonies. If you have had an abortion, join ONE MILLION VOICES by filling out the Declaration form. Click here to share your story.
Operation Outcry is calling forth ONE MILLION VOICES to demonstrate the magnitude of the harm from abortion. This legal evidence (Declarations) will be taken to the Supreme Court when it considers abortion again. You can choose to use your full name, first name or initials only. Your personal contact information will always be kept confidential.
“Join with us, as together we are…Touching Hearts, Changing Lives, and Restoring Justice.”

Lewis Carroll in 1865 published his famous children’s story Alice in Wonderland. In 1951, Walt Disney used the story as the basis for a feature film. Since 1865, several books, movies, and study guides have been produced to discover its underlying meaning. At first glance, it appears Mr. Carroll wrote the story in a drug induced state. Since the drug culture was not as prominent back then as it is today, it is safe to assume, he was inspired by other influences. Regardless, its surreal quality has raised a few eyebrows through the years. His goal, however, was to demonstrate the importance of words as they pertain to our sense of identity and value.
Alice enters a world, which initially baffles her and reduces her to a state of tears. Bizarre logic runs rampant in Wonderland. Every creature she meets justifies the most absurd behavior. Their arguments are complex, which creates great confusion for Alice. Though their strange reasoning initially perplexes, she eventually learns to discern their illogic and the utter nonsense it promotes.
Mr. Carroll, I suspect, wrote his story not only to entertain adults and children, but perhaps as a rebuke to expose what he perceived to be Victorian England’s hypocrisies. Though never intended for America in 2009, its topsey turvey world coincides perfectly with our present condition. For years, we have proclaimed Isaiah 5:20, 21, as America was sliding into perdition. God’s Word states, “Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter! Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight!” If the word of God happened to make its way into Mr. Carroll’s story, no better passage would aptly describe the world Alice found by following a rabbit into a hole.
Tragically, Alice in American Wonderland has fallen into a hole as well, a very deep one. She did not follow a rabbit, however, but a series of lies, deceptions, and falsehoods for several decades. Alice in America did not meet up with Caterpillar, Duchess, Cheshire Cat, March Hare, Mad Hatter, Queen of Hearts, Mock Turtle, Gryphon and a host of other minor characters. No, she met a horde of left wing God-haters, judicial activists, liberal policy groups, child-killers, perversion peddlers, communists, socialists, and corrupt politicians. As Alice believed their propaganda (taught in the public schools) and drank from the media laced Kool-Aid, Alice the individual shrank with her right to life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness, while the gang of political thugs increased in size, scope, and power.
As American Wonderland spread, the promotion of criminals into positions of authority became the norm, while those who played by the rules became suspect. Lawbreakers secured rewards, while the law keepers suffered the punishment and paid for their “legal” extortions. In the name of the courts, the law was denied. In the name of freedom, tyranny multiplied. In the name of choice, abortion killed. In the name of fairness, injustice reigned. In the name of “gay” marriage, the covenant defiled. In the name of education, faith and morality expunged. In the name of hate crimes, hatred flourished. In the name of tolerance, intolerance spread. In the name of America, our nation undermined.
The list of these present day absurd tragedies could go on and on, but I think you get the point. This is not a mere fairy tale gone awry, however. No, a great nation stands in serious jeopardy. Either our national leaders are ignorant, living in a major state of denial, or they are with extreme prejudice purposely steering the great ship of state, America, right into the proverbial iceberg. They seem hell bent on sinking us into a third world status or worse.
President Obama has filled his cabinet with some of the most criminal, corrupt, unqualified, individuals you could possibly drudge up to “lead” our nation. He has packed the Faith Based Initiative’s office with pro-abort, sodomites. He tapped the most ethically challenged, polarized figure in politics today, Hillary Clinton, as Secretary of State. He nominated a tax cheat, Timothy Geithner as Treasury Secretary. He selected Arizona Governor Janet Napolitano, who has a terrible record on illegal immigration, to serve as his Homeland Security Secretary. Miss Napolitano is the Janet Reno of the Obama administration.
He appointed as Attorney General, Eric Holder, who has a soft spot for terrorists and a penchant for undermining the law for political gain. He nominated the governor from Kansas, Kathleen Sebelius, as Health Secretary. This woman was bought and paid for by the most infamous abortionist in America today, George Tiller. To cover, protect, and insulate him from prosecution for his many crimes, she corrupted the entire government of Kansas. The Senate just confirmed her nomination, just in time for the outbreak of swine flu. If she covers the swine flu like she did Tiller, perhaps Americans will survive the epidemic. More names, crimes, and corruption in his cabinet could be added to this infamous list, but I hope these are sufficient to expose the band of misfits in Obama’s administration.
Recently, Obama returned from his “apology tour” on the behalf of our “national interests.” While making nice with America’s enemies abroad, he is working feverishly to dismantle our protection at home. He desires granting Constitutional rights to foreign terrorists, while the Constitutional rights of ordinary American citizens hang by a thread. While he is busy making sure fanatics, strapped with bombs and intent on blowing us up have their Miranda rights read to them, he forbids proven interrogation techniques, which foiled previous terroristic plots against our cities.
He has promised to close down Guantanamo Bay to improve our “image” in the world. Thus, leaving America speculating as to what will be the cost in dollars and security. Obama is so intent on distancing himself from the Bush administration, who at least, kept America safe for the last 7 years; he is willing to undo every protective measure making
America vulnerable to another Islamic attack.
REFORMATION WEEKEND Rebuilding the Altars and Relaying the Foundations
“Thus saith the Lord, Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls. But they said, We will not walk therein (Jeremiah 6:16).”
As of late, many have contacted Elijah Ministries struggling within the Church with the fallout of our American culture taking its toll upon Christian homes, families, and children. Fatherlessness, single moms, wayward children, and host of other ills have devastated many in the Body of Christ. Many pastors feel helpless as they struggle to deal with a system that they have inherited that has produced such terrible fruit in the lives of believers
Precious brothers and sisters with tears in their eyes have asked “what can be done to undo the harm.” In response, Elijah Ministries has created a Reformation Weekend opportunity. For those Churches interested, Elijah Ministries will hold 4 sessions to deal with the roots of what has caused this evil and what we must do to rebuild the altars and relay the foundations that have crumbled within this generation.
The topics will cover authentic Biblical manhood, womanhood, educating our young, and creating the platform to launch an effective Christian antidote to help extract the poison destroying America. We must have a new wine skin to handle the new wine of change that is desperately needed to change the course of our beleaguered nation.
To those interested in scheduling a Reformation Weekend at your Church, feel free to contact us with the information below. There are no fees for the Reformation Weekend. It is based upon a love offering.
