James Crum on Our Spiritual Crisis

I just received the following e-mail from James Crum:

>Our problem is not economic, or political…It is spiritual, and I fear greatly that our nation has been handed over to evil men with poor intentions. A self absorbed citizenry, greed, lack of personal responsibility on all levels, a willfully ignorant press, and a dysfunctional social contract have turned America on its head. Once this debacle savages the average American, they will give the issue their strict attention, but where they focus the blame will be an issue.

Mitchell, right now, I recommend reading City of God by Augustine. His times were similar to our own as the known order begins to collapse, and chaos is all around. Piracy, dangerous cities, mass migration, immense political corruption, the list goes on. He straddled the river between antiquity and medeival times. I think that is where we could head, but so much is not yet determined.

I live in a very nice suburb in Chicago metro, but now even our our area is becoming a concern. Not too long ago, five people were murdered at a local shopping mall. Our neighbor's son (17) was carjacked at a gas station, beaten, then dumped onto I- 80. The police caught the perpetrator, and then told the family to not press charges because the gang is too violent. I had a better idea to the Chief of Police- try shooting them as they tried to escape...no one would know or care. Everyday we are getting robberies in very good, affluent areas.

I am retrenching financially as I am able. My wife is stocking a pantry. I am looking into our property in northern Arkansas for a new home once the children have moved out. Firearms and fishing gear are on the list of shopping items. I do not see this going away for many years.

Billy Grahman said something to this effect a bit ago. We have called evil good, and good evil, and so the entire society suffers for it.


We need another Great Awakening... Jonathan Edwards, where are you?

Reverend Billy Graham on American Decline

I just received this from J. Crum. One facet that Reverend Graham might have added: "We have printed paper money and called it wealth creation."

Billy Graham's Prayer For Our Nation

'Heavenly Father, we come before you today to ask your forgiveness and to seek your direction and guidance. We know Your Word says, 'Woe to those who call evil good,' but that is exactly what we have done. We have lost our spiritual equilibrium and reversed our values. We have exploited the poor and called it the lottery. We have rewarded laziness and called it welfare. We have killed our unborn and called it choice. We have shot abortionists and called it justifiable. We have neglected to discipline our children and called it building self esteem. We have abused power and called it politics. We have coveted our neighbor's possessions and called it ambition. We have polluted the air with profanity and pornography and called it freedom of expression. We have ridiculed the time-honored values of our forefathers and called it enlightenment. Search us, Oh God, and know our hearts today; cleanse us from every sin and Set us free. Amen!'

Mitchell Langbert Willing to Show Obama His Birth Certificate For $800,000

I just received the following e-mail covering a World Net Daily article from Robert Taylor. Apparently, President-elect Obama has by now spent $800,000 in court fees preventing people from seeing his birth certificate. I could live pretty well in West Shokan for that. Therefore, I am making President-elect Obama's campaign an offer: I will show Obama my birth certificate for $800,000. Why not? I have nothing to hide, and I'm not a manipultative rat. Heck, I'll throw in my passport, Bible and marriage certificate, school transcripts and medical records.

What has this country come to that the public is willing to vote for a candidate who brazenly hides basic information and hides behind legalistic double talk in doing so?

>17 LAWSUITS, $800,000 SPENT TO FIGHT THEM; OBAMA WON'T COUGH UP REAL BIRTH CERT!

'Constitutional crisis' looming over Obama's birth location Alan Keyes lawsuit warns America may see 'usurper' in Oval Office

2008 WorldNetDaily

The California secretary of state should refuse to allow the state's 55 Electoral College votes to be cast in the 2008 presidential election until President-elect Barack Obama verifies his eligibility to hold the office, alleges a California court petition filed on behalf of former presidential candidate Alan Keyes and others.

The legal action today is just the latest is a series of challenges, some of which have gone as high as the U.S. Supreme Court, over the issue of Obama's status as a "natural-born citizen," a requirement set by the U.S. Constitution.

WND senior reporter Jerome Corsi even traveled to Kenya and Hawaii prior to the election to investigate issues surrounding Obama's birth. But his research and discoveries only raised more questions.

The biggest question is why Obama, if a Hawaii birth certificate exists, simply hasn't ordered it made available to settle the rumors.
