Dr. Robert Sumner passed away in December 2016. The Biblical Evangelist newspaper is no longer being published and the ministry of Biblical Evangelism has ceased operation. The remaining inventory of his books and gospel tracts was transferred to The Baptist Tabernacle of Los Angeles and may be ordered here. Off the Cuff, Part 4 Ah, global warming: Investors Business Daily reported “National Climate Data Center's recent announcement that [April] was the coldest April in more than a decade and the 29th coolest since record keeping began 114 years ago.” Just in time for McCain’s promise to fight global warming!… The world is joining us (contrary to politicians running on platforms saying the world hates us). We reported how the French elected a conservative, pro-America president, Nicolas Sarkozy. Last April, Italian citizens routed the Communists and Greens, a big victory for Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi. (No Communist will be in the Italian Parliament for the first time since World War II.) According to Newt Gingrich, who reported this, "Berlusconi is an outspoken, even passionate admirer of George W. Bush and the United States of America.” If you have been following the battle between evangelicals and liberals in the Episcopalian denomination, the conservatives recently won Round One over who controls local church property. The battle is far from over, however… We have never made any secret of the fact we think the This item doesn’t relate to politics, but sanity. One of the political candidates for our highest office has said he would go sit down with terrorists and plead for ‘peace’ (Jimmy Carter deja vu). Even worse, he said Roosevelt, Kennedy and Truman did the same. The falsity of the latter is easily disproved… Thanks to our socialistic government, my tax share is $531,472 (figures based on USA Today study). Don’t laugh; that’s your share, too! All these “entitlements” the politicians are passing (with loads more to come) is making our national debt staggering beyond imagination. “Pastor” Benjamin Seigler is in a heap of trouble. Federal agents are investigating him for defrauding over 4,000 individuals in this country and abroad, saying they placed investments with him and nary a one has gotten nary a penny back. Fortunately, he is apparently a pastor in name only, but that doesn’t help his victims (it does tell everyone to know with whom they are dealing). Feds have seized more than $1.1 million from him to date… Research done by the Institute for American Values, and reported in the Patriot Digest, shows the cost of "divorce and unwed mothers is estimated at $112 billion annually, and $1 trillion over the past 10 years." Yes, sin is expensive. The president of the Georgia Family Council noted: “These numbers represent real people and real suffering. Both economic and human costs make family fragmentation a legitimate public concern.” So what will we do, make divorce even easier than no-fault?... Sodomite Congresswoman Tammy Baldwin (D-WI) made a request to take her Sodomite companion on a military flight to It took the Supreme Court to tell us this? The Supremes determined that the states with ID laws for voting are not violating anyone’s rights, but actually protecting them by deterring fraud. The ruling was 6-3 and the Supremes who can’t get it were ex-ACLU leader Ruth Ginsburg (no surprise there), Stephen Breyer and David Souter… Oh, rats! Prior to the finals, the rats at the They don't want a Romney V-P. An open letter was sent to John McCain urging him not to pick Mitt was signed by J. Matt Barber (Concerned Women for According to Shared Hope International's director of communications, Karrie Delaney, at least 100,000 American children are victims of sex trafficking every year and a pimp can earn up to $632,000 a year by selling four young women/children. Child pornography is a $3 billion industry (annually) And 55% of child porn on the internet originates in the “Change”? That won't do it. As former President Calvin Coolidge put it: “Outside the teachings of religion there is no answer to the problems of life"... Husband Bill's explanation of his wife under sniper fire: “You know, I got tickled the other day. A lot of the way this whole campaign has been covered has amused me. But there was a lot of fulminating because Hillary, one time late at night when she was exhausted, misstated – and immediately apologized for it – what happened to her in The California Supreme Court defied the will of the majority of its residents by ordering the state to legalize Sodomite marriage, voiding a law over 60% of its citizens voted for (only thirty-some percent voted against it). It joins Meanwhile, according to a new In another part of the country, the Michigan Supreme Court, in a 5-2 ruling, upheld that state's marriage amendment. While a majority of states (27) have adopted such amendments, it only takes 1 or 2 black-robed avengers to destroy, hence the dire need of a national amendment... The immoral (if admission of several affairs while married wouldn’t earn the title, what would?) governor of Under oath, Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean said he personally supports "gay marriage." You may remember he had to drop out of a presidential campaign when, in the words of some, he acted like an idiot. Well, he's acting that way again!... From "the jerk at the podium," as one internet source described him, to "darling of the liberals," ex-White House Press Secretary Scott McCellan became more famous in 24 hours than he was during all his "press conference" days. In contrast to the "rave reception" the press is giving his tome, another insider's work, Taking Heat: The President, the Press, and My Years in the White House by Ari Fletcher, has been virtually ignored. Why? Could it be that his book gave numerous examples of how unfair (to say nothing of unbalanced) the liberal press treatment of the White House was? You decide... What do we think of John McCain's speech about global warming? Aside from it being silly and unscientific, it proves once again that no politician is going to go out on a limb to speak against what the people are "assuming," whether it is right or wrong... We salute the Supreme Court for its 7-2 ruling upholding the ban on "promotion or solicitation" of child pornography via mail or internet. Associate Justice Antonin Scalia wrote the majority opinion. ACLU star Ruth Bader Ginsburg and David Souter were the two voting against the kiddies... We do not owe allegiance to the Presidential Wannabe Barak Obama has introduced into the Senate hopper a bill called the Global Poverty Act (S.2433) aimed at feeding the world at our expense (i.e., we taxpayers). While it won't take much to launch it, the follow-through via the United Nations involves an estimated cost running as high as $845 billion... The media reported that Obama's rally in The second item above reminds us of an observation by Jack Kelly: “The difference between a philanthropist and a liberal is that a philanthropist is generous with his own money”… The health care plan in Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney boasted about launching is fraught with problems and no one (even those getting free service) seems happy. Socialized medicine simply does not work, no matter whether Democrats or Republicans try to spin it... Roger Self has been a police officer for over three decades and as a committed Baptist warns his brethren "crime in the church" is getting worse. Among other things, he recommends every church doing a background check on every employee before hiring. We recommend the book by our good friend, Voyle Glover, Protecting Your Church Against Sexual Predators (Published by Kregel)… He was arrested and charged with felony possession of heroin, cocaine and ecstasy. You or I would have gotten 3 years and 8 months jail time. Gary Dourdan, who is a CSI co-star, didn’t get a day – he got 30 hours of a diversion program and when he finishes he will have “no record!”… Humorist Will Rogers’ idea of how Washington works: "Well, the conference met today and appointed a commission to meet tomorrow and appoint a delegation which will eventually appoint a subcommittee to draw up ways and means of finding out what to start with first”… Here is more good (sic) the American Civil Liberties Union and Americans United for Separation of Church and State have accomplished. After an 8-year battle, a judge dismissed their case against the Kentucky Baptist Homes for Children (KBHC) for firing a Sodomite, Alecia Pedreira. We have no idea how many thousand (millions?) it costs the Home to defend itself... Black columnist Walter Williams, in noting Obama’s success (including non-black states), observed: “The civil rights struggle in America is over and it’s won … Obama and the Rev. Wright are absolutely wrong in suggesting that racial discrimination is anywhere near the major problem confronting a large segment of the black community. The major problems are: family breakdown, illegitimacy, fraudulent education and a high rate of criminality. To confront these problems, that are not the fault of the larger society, requires political courage and that’s an attribute that Obama and most other politicians lack”… I was in Guaranteed formula for failure: Try to please everyone!... Remember that pastor in Fort Worth (TX) who had all the problems? While he won the vote in March over members seeking to fire him, he resigned in April. He is going to teach "preaching" in one of the most liberal institutions in the country, McAfee School of Theology at Mercer University (GA)... Hey, athletics is all about character, isn't it? Not in American Idol, which seems to have taken Carrying coals to Thank God for good doctors; shouldn’t we lock up the others? A rascal in Dennis Prager says: “I count myself as one of the 81 percent who believes According to the With the politicians waxing warm with promises it might be good to remember Mencken’s warning: "The urge to save humanity is almost always a false-face for the urge to rule it”… In case you are interested in this continuing saga, the ministries of Kenneth Copeland and Creflo Dollar failed to submit copies of their finances to Senator Charles Grassley and the senate finance committee. Copeland sent "incomplete" information and Dollar “ignored” the request... We don't recommend QUOTE OF THE MONTH: “Sixteen months ago, Arthur C. Brooks, a professor at |
