Sam Cooke And The Soul-Stirrers: Touch The Hem Of His Garment

 

 

 

 

 The legendary American singer-songwriter Sam Cooke was often call the "King of Soul"
 for his distinctive vocals.  "Touch The Hem Of His Garment" which Sam recorded with
 the gospel group, The Soul-Stirrers in the days before his later success as a popular 
  recording artist of the late 1950's and early 1960's befits that later crowning as
  he undoubtedly put his whole heart and soul into singing this classic hymn!

Monday Meditation: Thanksgiving For All Things

 

 

 

"Lord, how can I thank you when I am single and want to be married?"

 "Dear God, how can I ever be happy in this dead-end job?"

"God, how can I thank you for broken plumbing in our bathroom 

 when we don't have the money to make repairs?"

 

Image courtesy/Pinterest


 How can we have thankful, contented hearts when the circumstances in our lives
are not what we had planned and when they lie outside our control or power to change?

Let's look at our alternatives.  If we are not thankful, we become bitter and angry with God:
  He is not providing what we "rightfully" deserve.  If we are not content, we become 
rebellious  and complaining: after all, He gives our friends everything they pray for-
why does He refuse us?

Underlying these complaints and questions lie two errors in our thinking:
 that God is not trustworthy and He does not desire our good. 

When we compare these conclusions with Scripture, we discover how wrong we are!  

God's Word instructs us that God is sovereignly in control, providing for
 and working out all circumstances in the  lives of those who love Him
 and whom He has called. He is intimately involved with us; 

He works out His purposes through the events in our lives so that we may be
 conformed to the image of His Son.  We have further reason to praise Him.

  The same God who formed the world in six days knows every hair on our
 heads. The same God who chose a people for Himself before we were
born sent His Son to die on the cross to redeem us from our sins.

God's love for His people is not determined by the circumstances in our lives.

His love is steadfast. Our marital status, career or finances might fluctuate or
totally break apart.  In spite of that, however, we can and must give Him thanks
for His love toward us.  We must serve Him with unhesitating hearts.

Pastor Allen Jackson Asks: Where Are The Epstein Files?

 

 

 

"Have no fellowship with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them."
(Ephesians 5:11) 

 

 

Watchmen on the Walls

Pastor Allen Jackson confronts the silence surrounding one of the most chilling
controversies of our time.  The Jeffrey Epstein case is not just about one man's
notoriety, but a vast network of wealth, power, and corruption which reaches
into the highest levels of government, media, and global influence.

He also addresses the latest accusation against the Israeli government
 and their alleged "connection" to the Epstein client list.

What is Israel's true significance-aside from being the center of Middle Eastern
politics and intrigue-according to God's Word?  Why does this one tiny nation
 remain the subject of so many conspiracies, conflicts, and spiritual battles?

Someone is working very hard to keep the truth suppressed, however, the
truth cannot be hidden from God.  As Jesus Himself told us, "There is
nothing secret that will not be known and come to light."
(Luke 8:17)

Dave Hunt: Islam And The Nations

 

 

 

 Almost twenty five years ago, on a beautiful, coming-of-fall morning in September, 2001
the lives of millions of Americans changed forever when New York City suffered one of 
the worst terrorist attacks in our nation's history.  On that day, the lives of over 3,000
Americans and others were lost when Islamic terrorists slammed planes into the
twin towers of the World Trade Center, into the Pentagon in Washington DC,
 and crashed a hijacked airliner into a field in western Pennsylvania.

 Most Americans were caught completely off guard that day.  We were shocked.
 And angry. We grieved over the lives of so many of our fellow citizens lost in this
 cruel and senseless assault on our nation.  In the patriotic fervor in the days 
that followed, we vowed, "Always Remember, Never Forget."

In a recent political upset which has allegedly shaken the Big Apple to its core, and has
sent shock waves across the nation, a self-described Muslim Socialist Zohran Mamdani 
recently secured the Democratic nomination for mayor of New York City. 

He is almost guaranteed to become the next leader of America's largest city,
which has often been called, "the crossroads of the world".

According to a recent report from Yahoo! News,  Mamdani's platform includes taxing
the wealthy, the creation of government-run grocery stores, and defunding the NYPD.

This last issue is hardly surprising to me as Brooklyn has already established
a self-funded, "Muslim Community Patrol" within its borough, which provides
additional security to neighborhood mosques and Islamic schools in the area.
Why do the residents there need an additional community patrol when
they already have an established police force?

Also, according to the report, Mamdani actively supports, "Palestinian causes".

Thousands of people, including myself and President Trump, witnessed
 Muslims in northern New Jersey and New York City, not to mention in
Palestinian communities in Gaza rejoicing and dancing in the streets
celebrating our terrible loss on September 11th. Today, most major
media outlets have selective memory about this, even going so far
as to say that the reports of celebration have since been "debunked".
Like President Trump, I too, have a very good memory of what
I saw on that day via television news reports.  And I will never
forget what I witnessed either. 

As Texas Congressman Brandon Gill opined on X:  "Mass migration is 
fundamentally transforming our communities-and the electorate. It has to stop."

 This man is right.  This has got to stop.   I believe the attacks on ICE agents
 who are trying to enforce US Immigration laws are deliberately coordinated
 and being used to further destabilize and to destroy America. 

 And, that most of the news media is complicit in  protecting the identities
 of those behind this movement, or, they have taken bribes-just like many
 major American universities and colleges-from those who are committed to
the promotion of "stealth jihad"  or a silent, unholy war within our own borders.


*"...the pestilence that walks in darkness." 
(Psalm 91:6)

 In this important teaching, Christian apologist and founder of The Berean Call
Ministries, Dave Hunt (1926-2013) lays the groundwork for what is happening right 
now in our nation and in the world today.  It is imperative that Christians understand
the true history and diabolical nature of what some of our own leaders have called,
"the religion of peace" and how Islam is being used by Satan in these last days
to deceive and destroy the people and the nations of the world. 

 

Islam And The Nations

*In the Bible, "pestilence" refers to a rapidly spreading deadly disease or plague, associated
with divine  judgment and punishment.  It is a force of destruction, and associated with warfare,
in the natural and in the spiritual realm.  We can no longer downplay or ignore these "signs" of the times.

Remembering Connie Francis 1937-2025

 

 

 

Italian-American songstress and native born Jersey girl Concetta Rosa Maria Franconero
 better known as Connie Francis, passed away this week at the age of 87.

One of the most popular top-charting female vocalists of the late 1950's and early 1960's
her beautiful voice is estimated to have sold more than 100 million records worldwide.

I always loved Connie's role as the perky college co-ed Angie in the 1961 beach movie,
"Where The Boys Are".  Connie also sang the title song from the film, which not only became
  one of her greatest hit records, but her signature song as well.  May she rest in eternal peace.

"For behold, the days are coming, declares the LORD, when I will restore from
captivity My people, Israel and Judah, declares the LORD.  I will restore them to
the land that I gave to their fathers, and they will possess it." 
(Jeremiah 30:3)

 In a world full of lies and deceitful propaganda, along with displays of profound
 satanic-driven hatred increasing throughout the world against the nation and
 people of Israel, this classic teaching from Christian apologist/ author and founder
  of The Berean Call Ministries Dave Hunt (1926-2013) sets the record straight.

Derek Prince: What Does It Mean To Be Free?

 

 

 

 "He that does the will of God abides forever."
(1 John 2:17 )

 

 

Derek Vaughn Prince
(1915-2003)
Image courtesy/Wikipedia 

 

 "What does it mean to be free?  Does it mean that you do anything that
your please at any time?  That you throw off all order and restraint, you're
just self-indulgent, self-pleasing, self-willed...Let me tell you, friend, that's
 not real freedom.  That's slavery. It's slavery to self and its slavery to sin.

But there is a kind of real freedom that comes when God sets our hearts free.
What's the evidence?  When we are truly liberated by the grace of God, and
the power of God, it's not to please ourselves, it's not to do our own thing,
but it's to be able to obey God and be able to obey Him with delight, to obey
 Him with readiness, not reluctantly, not grudgingly, but freely and joyfully. 

I just long to know what Your will is.  And when I discover Your will,
I run in that pathway.  There's a note of eagerness, a note of excitement,
that comes not from pleasing self, but from seeking to please God,
from doing His will."

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Flashback Friday: Release Me

 

 

 

One of the most popular easy listening hits of the summer of 1967, the old standard,
"Release Me" by British pop sensation Engelbert Humperdinck, was the number
 one song across the pond in Great Britain,  beating out the Beatles' "Penny Lane" 
and "Strawberry Fields"from reaching the top of the record charts there.

  In fact, his version of this sad love ballad was the highest selling single
 in the UK that year with record sales of 1.38 million copies.

In America, the song reached the number four spot on the Billboard Hot 100. 

Although other versions of "Release Me" (And Let Me Love Again) were recorded by
Patti Page, Ray Price, Kitty Wells, The Everly Brothers, Dean Martin, and Elvis Presley,
the song was a breakthrough hit for Engelbert Humperdinck, establishing his career
as an internationally-acclaimed recording artist, with some of his most 
devoted fans calling themselves, "Humperdinckers."

 On a more personal note, this was one of the songs I remember my mother often 
singing to us kids while we were driving in the car somewhere on hot summer days.

Throwback Thursday: Broken & Wounded

 

 


 "The "star of the sea" as it is sometimes called, had always held a fascination for me...
I remember an old seaman's tale that said starfish were the remains of stars that fell
from the sky.  I peered into the pail.  Broken and wounded, the creature did indeed
bring to mind a fallen star... 

When you are broken, wounded, scarred or tired...when you have lost
 just a little,  or so much there is hardly anything left-take heart.
That is when God does His most beautiful work." 
Excerpts from the story, "A Broken Star"
-Sue Monk Kidd

Broken and wounded...

 That's about right. 

 That's how I have been

 feeling lately. 

 

 Broken and wounded...

 betrayed by someone

 who once promised to

 love me forever. 

 

 Broken and wounded...

 my heart shattered,

 by the sudden

 and unexpected death

 of someone dear to me,

 who considered me

 his friend... 

 

 Now we are separated

 by the dark chasm

 between life and death

 and all I can feel

 is broken...

 and wounded inside

 just like the little starfish... 

 feeling lost...

 in a decaying world

 that seems to be

 rushing faster and faster

 headlong...towards

 some cataclysmic end...

 

 But... was the world 

 ever in control of itself? 

 And...am I really alone 

 in my suffering? 

 

 Is there not Someone

 Who knows me better

 than anyone else,

 including myself? 

 

Someone Who knows

 what it feels like 

to be broken 

and wounded inside? 

 

To feel forsaken...

and betrayed...

and lonely... 

Someone Who is

close to those

 with hurting souls...

 

Who wept

at the death

of a beloved friend... 

Someone Who,

I am often reminded,

loves me so very much

that He suffered the most

excruciating brokenness

and wounding 

of His own body and soul

on my behalf...

 

He suffered...

becoming a curse

on a tree

Shedding drops of

precious blood,

His precious love

for me... 

so that I may have life

more abundantly...

and share

the glory of 

Eternity

with Him.

"He Possessed This ONE Virtue Every Christian Desperately Needs": Pastor Ray Comfort Remembers John MacArthur

 

 

 

"And we know that God works all things together for the good of those who love Him,
who are called according to His purpose."
(Romans 8:28 )

 

Pastor John MacArthur
(1939-2025)
May He Rest In Eternal Peace
 


 In a time when God's truths are being twisted or ignored in order
to favor the modern narrative of "Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion"  
Pastor John MacArthur stood dauntless against the compromise
 with sin found within much of  American Christianity today.

  Although he will be greatly missed by his wife and family and 
 church congregation, as well as many people all over the world 
whom he has inspired through his teaching of the Holy Scriptures
 in the way God intended for His Word to be taught,  we know
 with blessed assurance in our Lord Jesus Christ that this
 "good and faithful servant" is now absent from his body
 and present with his Lord.  His real life has just begun.

Sing to the LORD, bless HIS NAME;

For GREAT is the LORD and GREATLY TO BE PRAISED;
 
HE is the be FEARED above all gods.
 
For all the gods of the nations are idols,
 
but, it is the LORD WHO made the heavens.
 
SPLENDOR and MAJESTY are before HIM;
 
STRENGTH and BEAUTY fill HIS sanctuary.
 
ASCRIBE to the LORD, O families of the nations,
 
ASCRIBE to the LORD GLORY and STRENGTH.
 
ASCRIBE to the LORD the GLORY due HIS NAME;
 
bring an offering and enter HIS courts. 
 
WORSHIP the LORD in the SPLENDOR of HIS HOLINESS;
 
tremble before HIM, all the earth. 
 
Declare among the nations: "THE LORD REIGNS!" 
 
The world is firmly established; it cannot be moved;
 
HE WILL JUDGE the peoples with equity.
 
Let the heavens be glad
 
and the earth rejoice;
 
let the sea resound,
 
and all that fills it. 
 
Let the fields exult,
 
and all that is in them.
 
Then all the trees of the forest
 
will sing for joy before the LORD,

HE IS COMING  to JUDGE the earth.
 
HE WILL JUDGE the world in RIGHTEOUSNESS
 
and the peoples in HIS FAITHFULNESS.
