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 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.”

"This matter is by the decree of the watchers, and the demand by the word of the holy ones: to the intent that the living may know that the most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will, and setteth up over it the basest of men (Daniel 4:17)."
The election passed and no, you are not dreaming. Everyone just take a deep breath, sip extra strong coffee, set aside the grief, and let us courageously face the outcome of this year's consequential election. Before anyone accuses me of racism, however, be forewarned that I voted for a black man with slave blood. No, it was not "The Messiah," but statesman, Alan Keyes. With that out of the way, let us press on to matters of greater importance.
First, Patrick Henry once declared that Almighty God presides over the destiny of nations. The trumpet of the American Revolution agreed with the Prophet Daniel, the Triune God of the Bible rules and reigns in the affairs of men. God's word clearly teaches that God judges and restores nations based upon the leaders He sets in positions of authority. In fact, He will grant a people the basest of leaders according to the counsel of His sovereign will. In other words, God will turn nations over to their lusts (Romans 1). They will receive what they richly deserve and find to their horror that they cannot live with it. Welcome to the new Amerika!
This election is God's ex-ray that reveals the wretched condition of our nation's soul. Our country, under strong delusion, elected a man influenced by Communism, Islam, Chicago Gangsters, Black Liberation Theology, and associates with terroristic backgrounds. Our nation rejoices in this selection, while our enemy's abroad dance in the streets. What does this portend for our increasingly dangerous future?
Apparently, the decades of making void the knowledge of God in our schools, government, and culture has taken its toll. Many of our young were captured by the charm of Obama. Reminds one of the Hitler youth movement of yore. Is this too drastic a comment? Well, what does Obama's call for a civil force patrolling America mean, a force with equal funding allocated to the U.S. military? Is that anything like the Black Panthers we saw standing guard at polling booths with clubs?
Void of the ability to think critically, our misguided youth swooned, fainted, and worshipped our new president as a rock star. Believing the Obama presidency will provide womb to the tomb coverage for their lives, many bowed to give homage to the man who would save us. It appears that Marxism has found a new champion in the USSA, United Socialist States of America.
As it stands, the Democrats now control all three branches of government. The party of death has risen to unprecedented power. Though the Democrats rightly view this as a mandate for their agenda, our system of checks and balances stands in jeopardy. Republicans have demonstrated for years that they do not have the moral will to resist the secular progressive's agenda. All the Republicans manage to do is maintain ground, while the Democrats march on to capture more territory.
As in 2006, this election sent the Republicans packing once again. Simply because they have refused to energize their base and implement the righteous mandates they were elected to achieve. Sane Americans desire our government to protect life, family, and our futures. It was an insult to many that the Republicans served up a John McCain candidacy, and all the Sarah Palins in the world could not rescue them from defeat. Regardless, it appears that Obama will have a rubber stamp to implement his new vision of change for Amerika.
What can we look forward to? More radical judges will be appointed to the Supreme Court and Federal benches. FOCA, the Freedom of Choice Act, if passed by the Obama administration, will serve to wipe out all legislative Pro-life gains in recent years. In fact, FOCA will make Americans more complicit in the crime of shedding the blood of innocent babies made in the image of God. We must remember, until Barack Obama, the Supreme Court was responsible in 1973 for unleashing this hell against our own children. When our nation voted for Obama, however, our nation voted in agreement with this covenant of death that pollutes and defiles our land. Surely, the increase of God's wrath will reveal the greater degree of accountability every American will now have to face.
Next on the agenda is the passing of the infamous "Hate Crimes" legislation. At long last, the enemies of the cross have a president that will sign this tyrannical piece of legislation. Churches, pastors, and Christian business owners will be subject to fines, jail, and other penalties. Especially, if they dare state the self-evident truth that homosexuality is a sin, an abomination, and a treacherous act against God's creative order.
Yes, there was a silver lining in this election as Proposition 8 in California passed its ban against "gay marriage." Arizona and Florida did likewise. Don't be fooled, however, "gay marriage" will still be pursued by God-haters who are strengthening their grip about the sword of civil government.
What is the Church to do in light of these dire days? Do what the Church has always done in the times of tyranny. Trust God and continue to do good. When men's laws conflict with God's law, we are to obey God rather than men (Acts 5:29). Remember, it is our civil government that is increasingly becoming the lawbreaker. It is our sacred duty to remain law keepers. Even when keeping God's law becomes a crime in the land of the free and the home of the brave, we must not deny our Lord. And if we happen to suffer persecution, we are to cultivate hearts that thank God that we were found worthy to suffer shame for His name-sake (Acts 5:41).
Make no mistake here, our nation just crossed a major line that may take years to recover from. It has just opened itself up to receive a greater manifestation of an anti-Christ spirit. The enemies of the cross have been empowered by this election. Their hostility against our Lord, the church, and His everlasting truth will turn more overt.
Personally, I'm preparing the Thomas Nation for the difficult days ahead. The message to my children is "our faith is not for sale, it is non-negotiable. We are not turning back, we are not giving in, and we are not turning away. We will offer God a willing heart to bear His truth, though despised, penalized, and punished in America. As for me and my house we will serve the Lord, whether or not it remains legal in America to do so."
I highly recommend churches and Christian families prepare as well. We can no longer pretend the noose is not tightening to strangle our Christian liberty. It is and we have to face the hard truth. Jeremiah warns, "If thou hast run with the footmen, and they have wearied thee, then how canst thou contend with horses? and if in the land of peace, wherein thou trustedst, they wearied thee, then how wilt thou do in the swelling of Jordan (Jeremiah 12:5)?"
Sunshine Christians will not survive what is coming. The boys will be separated from the men like the sheep from the goats. Our faith will be tried as by fire. Let us pray that we will come forth as gold. I will conclude with the words of Thomas Paine. His words, I believe, apply to our current distress. He stated, "These are the times that try men's souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly: it is dearness only that gives every thing its value. Heaven knows how to put a proper price upon its goods; and it would be strange indeed if so celestial an article as FREEDOM should not be highly rated."
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.
