PSA.5:7 But as for me, I will come into thy house in the multitude of thy mercy: and in thy fear will I worship toward thy holy temple.
PSA.5:8 Lead me, O LORD, in thy righteousness because of mine enemies; make thy way straight before my face.
PSA.5:9 For there is no faithfulness in their mouth; their inward part is very wickedness; their throat is an open sepulchre; they flatter with their tongue.
PSA.5:10 Destroy thou them, O God; let them fall by their own counsels; cast them out in the multitude of their transgressions; for they have rebelled against thee.
PSA.5:11 But let all those that put their trust in thee rejoice: let them ever shout for joy, because thou defendest them: let them also that love thy name be joyful in thee.
PSA.5:12 For thou, LORD, wilt bless the righteous; with favour wilt thou compass him as with a shield.

the case for ignoring news/conspiracies as much as you can!!
JER.10:1 Hear ye the word which the LORD speaketh unto you, O house of Israel:
JER.10:2 Thus saith the LORD, Learn not the way of the heathen, and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven; for the heathen are dismayed at them.
JER.10:3 For the customs of the people are vain: for one cutteth a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman, with the axe.

From the pastor - I was on another TV today. To talk about peace. Jesus is the solution to the problem of war in the world today. The problem is sin, while the solution is Jesus

Pastor Sabri Kasemi was invited on this Christmas day to Euronews Albania where he spoke extensively about religion and faith in God. He said that in Albania it is necessary for people to get closer to God, as this is the way to reduce the number of crimes and divorces that in our country, according to him, have increased significantly. "There is a need for Albania to understand and practice it more. The fact that we have an increase in the level of crime in Albania. The divorce rate has increased. We in our churches deal with single mothers and socially orphaned children. You don't know how much these children who grow up orphans suffer. I grew up an orphan myself. My mother died when I was little. I have found peace with God and I no longer feel alone", said Pastor Sabri Kasemi

Cruel Logic-Brian Godawa-What Would You Say to a Serial Killer to Justify Your Right to Live?
"DROPOUTS"--PART 1--MO Israel January 16, 1971 NO.42
1. THINGS KEPT GOING STRONG UNDER THE DISCIPLES WHO SAT AT JESUS' FEET, BUT THEN THINGS BEGAN TO CHANGE WITH THEIR DISCIPLES who had never seen Jesus!-- And it only took about two generations to do it.
2. THE INFLUENCE, ACTUALLY, OF ONE DYNAMIC LEADER SEEMS RARELY TO CARRY BEYOND THE SECOND GENERATION OF HIS FOLLOWERS, and the repercussions of his ministry seem only to carry about two or three generations of its own momentum, and then the movement usually cools off and rejoins the System, and God has to raise up a new leader, who followers are another dropout movement, whom they in turn fight again: a vicious cycle!
3. WHY DOES THIS HAPPEN! It's a kind of vicious cycle that apparently God permits in order to infuse new blood into His Church and to keep up a constant purification process, because as soon as the former group cools off and solidifies and systematises, He has to call out a New Church! That's why His people are always the "Ecclesia".
4. THE CHURCH ALWAYS HAS TO BE CALLED OUT (DROP OUT)--always has to be separated! As soon as the old group grows stale and stagnates, He always has to bring along some new group--the new dropouts!
5. THE OLD GETS OUT OF TOUCH WITH THE HUMAN SOURCE, AND HE HAS TO RAISE UP A NEW! It's like someone has said, "God has no grand-children! There's no such thing as second generation Christians! Every new generation either has to drop out or cop out--one or the other; bring forth new buds, or die on the vine and become dead!"
6. THE FRANCISCANS BEGAN TO GO ASTRAY EVEN BEFORE ST. FRANCIS WAS DEAD! He died of a broken heart, because he finally realised that God had said, "Build My Church" of people, instead of buildings! Nevertheless, he had done a great job leading a group of dropouts who took vows of poverty and lived by faith. He actually did a good work, even though his followers occupied their lives by just building and repairing chapels, etc!
7. IN A WAY, JUST THE FACT THAT HE DID GAIN NEW DISCIPLES, DID BUILD A NEW CHURCH OF "LIVING STONES": The Franciscan Order! But he wasn't even dead yet before they began to get rich and fat and powerful and ceased to live like he had originally led them!
8. LUTHER WASN'T EVEN DEAD BEFORE HIS FOLLOWERS BEGAN TO FORM A NEW SYSTEM or church, which eventually became almost as dead and corrupt as the old one!
9. A LOT LIKE ISRAEL: You take this new generation of Sabras they're so proud of--they're not as heroic as you'd like to think, because they never had to pay the price for their freedom--they don't know what it cost--they didn't have to sacrifice for it like their parents! Therefore, they don't understand why they should have to sacrifice! "We have arrived now. We have these things and we'd like new things", is their attitude! Most Sabras, I notice, are more interested in having fun: radios, new cars, fellowship, and things like other young people throughout the world!
10. LOOK AT THE RUSSIAN YOUTH! The oldsters are disappointed in the youngsters because they're not as radical and willing to fight and die for Communism as they were, but they're more interested in American rock and roll music and having a good time!
11. THE SAME WAS TRUE IN THE EARLY DAYS OF AMERICA--it was only the first generation who fought and bled and died for freedom who really appreciated it! The next generation didn't have to pay anything for it! They got it free, so they weren't interested in fighting and bleeding and dying for it! All they wanted to do was enjoy it! The second generation didn't have to pay as much for it, so they couldn't possibly appreciate its value! So usually another generation or two down the line, they have to lose it--God has to take it away from them--to make them appreciate it, and then another new generation has to fight and die for it.
