Starbucks Does Not Support Traditional Marriage

Has most of the corporate world gone totally INSANE?! Now Starbucks doesn't want the business of people who believe in traditional marriage.

Breaking News From The TEA Party: Starbucks moves even farther left and tells traditional marriage supporters we don't want your business.

Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz just said at their annual meeting that If you support traditional marriage, we don't want your business. He told a shareholder to sell his shares if he supported traditional marriage and didn't like Starbucks stance against it. So let's get this straight. If you support the 5000 year old tradition that marriage is between one man and one woman, you can't buy shares in his far left radical company that sells designer $7.00 Grande Decaf Lattes? Done! I'll take a Chick Fil-A and their 99 cent coffee instead.

Well, they have every right, I guess, to turn away anyone they so desire. And I have every right to never use their products again!! Ever!

This is definately Satan's world until Christ returns to set up His just Kingdom.


1 Corinthians 6:9-10 - "Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God." 

Ephesians 6:12 - "For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places."

And The Rain Came Tumbling Down

It started raining late last night and didn't let up until midday. It's rained so much I keep humming the kids song "... and the rain came a'tumblin' down." Our area has been suffering from a miniature drought since about 1993. Even though it's a lot at one time and now the dirt roads are messy, the rain is very welcome. Maybe we can ride in a day or two ... or three.

The rain gauge is not exactly accurate. I estimate we actually received a little over 5 inches.

Wow.

I gotta go check all the ditches too. We have needed more rain so badly!



I hope everyone is having a blessed Sunday too.

"and the rain came down, and the streams came, and the winds blew and fell upon that house, and it did not fall, for it had been founded upon the rock."  [Matthew 7:25]

"then I will send rain on your land in its season, both autumn and spring rains, so that you may gather in your grain, new wine and olive oil." [Deuteronomy 11:14]

Kiss Me, I'm Irish #SaintPatricksDay

I am mostly of Irish descent. There are also a lot of Scottish, Wales and English folks, with one in the woodpile on my Sweat family side. Like most Americans I can truly say I'm a Heinz 57. (Not to be confused with Obama's 57 States). :\ My Irish family are the Moore (of the Clan O'More), McMahan, Maloy (O'Molloy), Young, etc. of "wiregrass" Georgia*. But no kisses necessary, just have a grand day me lads and lasses!

My Irisheyes website.

*"Wiregrass" Georgia is so named for the wiregrass, a warm weather grass, that is so prolific here. It includes the southern most part of Georgia and extends into southern Alabama and northern Florida.

Watch For Comet PanSTARRS In The Twilight

I really enjoy sitting on the back porch and looking into the night sky. Living in the country the skies are inky black with little sparkley stars from one end to the other. [Ok, so I'm technically challenged ... ha ha] The 'heaven's' are truly a wonder to see. It's just part of God's miracle of creation. Tonight be sure to look in the Northern Hemisphere for the comet C/2011 L4. There's only a few nights (March 12th to 18th) it will be visible to the naked eye. Pretty cool.

More here or here.

Sequester Skyfall Obama Parody

I know it's a little late, but the libtard's are still screaming that the "sky is falling, the sky is falling" since the Sequester (engineered by Obama) went through.

I laughed so hard at this I just had to share.

Dead Faith ~ Two Minutes With The Bible

Dead Faith

by Pastor Cornelius R. Stam

Berean Bible Society
Printer Friendly Version

Nothing in the Bible is stated more clearly or with greater emphasis than the blessed Pauline revelation of justification by grace, through faith, without works.

Romans 4:5: “To him that worketh not, but believeth…his faith is counted for righteousness”. Ephesians 2:8,9: “For by grace are ye saved, through faith…it is the gift of God; not of works, lest any man should boast”. Titus 3:5: “Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us”.

Yet James states, just as clearly that “faith, if it hath not works is dead, being alone” (Jas.2:17). He challenges professing believers: “Show me thy faith without thy works, and I will show thee my faith BY my works” (Ver.18), and declares that “by works a man is justified and not by faith only” (Ver.24), since “faith without works is dead”.

Some have imagined a contradiction here, while actually there is none. There is a dispensational distinction, for to Paul had been committed “the dispensation of the grace of God” (Eph.3:1,2). His was “the preaching of the cross” (ICor.1:18), offering salvation by grace, through faith alone, to all who would trust Christ as Saviour.

James, on the other hand, was an apostle of the kingdom, proclaiming the kingdom rights of Christ and offering a changed way of life on earth which had already been experienced by the disciples in Judaea (Acts 2:44-47; 4:32-35).
Hence with James the emphasis is on works, not because good works can save or even help to save, but because true faith inevitably bears fruit and we can judge true faith only by the fruit it bears. Our Lord said: “By their fruits ye shall know them”. Hence James’ epistle abounds with such phraseology as, “ye see”, “show me”, “I will show you”, etc.

What we must be careful to remember is that according to both Paul and James, faith comes first, then good works. Faith is the root, good works the fruit. The absence of fruit indicates that the root is dead, that while there may be an intellectual assent, there is no true heart faith, and “without faith it is impossible to please God” (Heb.11:6).

The source of justification is grace; the basis, Calvary; the means, faith; and the evidence, works. Think this through; accept God’s grace and trust the Lord Jesus Christ as your Saviour and Lord. He will cause you to produce good fruit.

To the Reader:

Some of our Two Minutes articles were written many years ago by Pastor C. R. Stam for publication in newspapers. When many of these articles were later compiled in book form, Pastor Stam wrote this word of explanation in the Preface:
"It should be borne in mind that the newspaper column, Two Minutes With the Bible, has now been published for many years, so that local, national and international events are discussed as if they occurred only recently. Rather than rewrite or date such articles, we have left them just as they were when first published. This, we felt, would add to the interest, especially since our readers understand that they first appeared as newspaper articles."
We hope that you'll agree that while some of the references in these articles are dated, the spiritual truths taught therein are timeless.
