IRAN NOW CAPABLE OF ONE NUCLEAR BOMB
To date Iran had enriched about 1400 pounds of low-enriched uranium suit-
able for nuclear fuel according to two confidential reports from the International Atomic Energy Agency that were obtained by The Associated Press
Several experts told The Times the mile-stone was enough for a bomb but Iran would have to further purify the uranium fuel and put it into a warhead design mdash a technical advance that experts in the West are unsure Iran has been able to achieve

GOVrsquoT STRIVES TO SAVE STRUGGLING ECONOMY
ldquoFor if any man be a hearer of the word and not a doer he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass For he beholds himself and goeth his way and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty and continueth therein he being not a forgetful hearer but a doer of the work this man is blessed in his deedrdquo (James 1 23-25)
Many times in praying for indi-viduals who are being afflicted
with some aliment or sickness Irsquoll bring a mirror Not a physical glass mirror but the mirror of the Word of God The reason I bring this mirror is that a lot of times the individual that is trying to receive their healing has become so preoccupied with the sickness or pain that is plaguing them that they have forgotten and or have become blinded to who and what they are
As I minister to them Irsquoll attempt to do what James instructed us to do and bring the Perfect Law of Liberty before their eyes Irsquoll attempt to help them see who they really are THE HEALED
If I am able to get people preoccupied with what the Word of God has said about them and unoccupied with their symptoms God is able to help them receive experience and walk in their healing
The Word ldquolookethrdquo here in James 125 means ldquoTo bend over and peer into to get a better lookrdquo When you begin to peer into the Word of God yoursquoll begin to see yourself as a person who has been healed and made FREE
Yoursquoll begin to see an image of health instead of sickness and pain For example Isaiah 533-5 amp 1 Peter 224 tell us that God has already healed us
Colossians 113 says that God has already delivered us from the power of darkness
2 Peter 13 proclaims that God has given us ALL THINGS that pertain to life and godliness
And in Luke 1019 Jesus Himself declares that He has given us authority over all the power of the enemy and noth-ing shall by any means hurt us
Glory to God Are you beginning to see your reflection in the Word of total and complete healing James 122-25 is telling us to look into this mirror When we are preoccupied and influenced by what we see in the Word of God we will begin receiving what God has promised us HEALING
Are you occupied with the feelings of sickness today or are you being consumed with 1 Peter 224 which declares ldquoBY HIS STRIPES YE WERE HEALEDrdquo James instructs us to not only look but to keep on looking into this mirror ldquohellipthis man (then) is blessed in his deedrdquo
This is one of the requirements that God has established in His Word in receiving and walking in divine health You see being occupied and influenced by the symptoms of sickness is actually reversing the condition which God
requires in receiving our healing
By being occupied by what we feel we are actually reinforcing the condition the devil has us in We become bound limited and restrained
Romans 618 declares to us that we ARE FREE We are free from sick-ness and liberated from pain Glory to God We do not have to stay one more minute being bound by the symptoms of sickness and disease if we would just continue looking into the mirror of the Word of God
We could take a life lesson from Abraham our Father in the faith and imitate him He refuse to consider his own body and he waxed strong in faith LOOKING unto the promises of God (Romans 418-21)
We also can follow after Sarah We read in Hebrews 1111 Where Sarah received physical powerhellip because she considered [God] Who had given her the promise to be reli-able and trustworthy and true to His Wordrdquo (Amp)
The word ldquolookethrdquo also means ldquoto considerrdquo
You see instead of considering her limitations which were her age her body etc she looked or considered the promise of Gods Word and received the faith she needed to receive that promise in her life
In Numbers 218 we read an account where thousands of Israelites were dying So Moses under the direction of God put a brass serpent on a pole and raised it up before the people In verse 8 we read ldquoAnd it shall come to pass that everyone that is bitten when he LOOKETH upon it shall liverdquo Notice the condition for their healing was ldquoeveryone who LOOKETH shall liverdquo
No one would receive their healing except on the condi-tion that they LOOK and continue LOOKING at the brass serpent which was a prophetic type of Christ The serpent represents the curse of the law (sickness) In Galatians 313 we read where ldquoChrist hat redeemed us from the curse of the law (sickness) being made a curse for us for it is written cursed is everyone who hangeth on a treerdquo
The Word looketh here in Numbers 218 literally infers ldquoa continual starerdquo The Israelites were not to just glance at the brass serpent they were to continually stare at it giving it their full attention until they were healed
The same is true today The healing process is com-pleted as we not only begin to look into the Perfect Law of Liberty but to stay looking at the promises of God We are to give the Word of God our full attention until we are that Word in our lives
Begin looking at the right mirror Change your focus from the deception of sickness to the reality of healing Walk in the freedom of health by looking into the Perfect Law of Liberty today By Pastor Rory Synoground

ldquoI think the President-elect is getting the message that the market is worried that if you wait too long the economy will have fallen too far to really recoverrdquo he said
But the costs will be staggering Bloom-berg News estimates that just the plans laid out so far could cost $77 trillion The deficit in 2009 alone might well hit $1 tril-lion
Lending Creditors a Hand
And the Treasury has thrown in another twist using some of the $700 billion Con-gress has already okrsquod for a new purpose - to help lenders finance credit card auto and student loans
In a surprise move today to help the ailing housing industry the Fed said it will buy up to $600 billion in mortgage-backed assets
And after pumping $20 billion more into flail-ing Citigroup President George Bush let it be known that even more rescue packages may well be on the way
ldquoAnd if need be wersquore going to make these kind of decisions to safeguard our financial system in the futurerdquo Bush said
Defending all the billions for bailouts the President says hersquos been warned the econ-omy could spiral into a downturn even worse than the Great Depression unless govern-ment acts aggressively
The Citigroup Controversy
But people are divided about rescuing fi-nanciers like Citigroup whorsquove made bad investments but are so vital to the eco-nomic system
ldquoPeople know whatrsquos going on right now nothing looking good on the whole economic side so I think we need to go ahead a bail them out I donrsquot know where it stops I donrsquot know where it ends but Citigrouprsquos a big grouprdquo said Vox-poprsquos Ed Trainor
But Voxpoprsquos Sally Brandon said ldquoI would let them go I mean bad management again is the reason why theyrsquore in this position and therersquos not enough protection for the general publicrdquo
But good idea or bad the bailout seemed to be part of the reason the stock market bounced back so powerfully Friday and Monday
ldquoClearly this was the news that was the catalyst for this market today Everything else just rallied with itrdquo New York Stock Exchange trader Jonathan Corpina said
Stovall said ldquoWell I think that the market just got oversold on Thursday November 20 and like a rubber band thatrsquos stretched too far it snapped back on Friday and Monday Now the real question is is it the beginning of a new bull market or simply a rally within a bear market And I think only time will tellrdquo

A major medical breakthrough involving adult stem cells has occurred in Spain
Medical researchers in Spain replaced 30-year-old Claudia Castillorsquos windpipe by grow-ing her own stem cells in the shape of the damaged body part and her body has not rejected it According to The Independent Castillorsquos bout with tuberculosis left her with a collapsed lung and unable to breathe or do many daily activities such as look after and play with her two children
Dr Robert Scheidt is with the Christian Medical amp Dental Associations (CMDA) and applauds the so-called ldquonew age in surgi-cal carerdquo ldquoI just canrsquot get over the marvel of recreating an organ -- and an organ thatrsquos compatible because it uses the patientrsquos original DNA and tissues -- and it worksrdquo he notes
This accomplishment according to Scheidt is just another reason why research on hu-man embryos will not work while adult stem cells are already successful ldquoWe found out that stem cells have a peculiar property that
if theyrsquore placed in an organ -- it can be one of several organs -- they assume the identity of the organ into which they are placed and then start to work accordinglyrdquo he explains
Castillo is also the first patient to receive a whole organ transplant without needing to take strong immunosuppressant drugs to aid in the bodyrsquos adjustment Dr Scheidt believes the success brings healthcare officials closer to recreating and transplant-ing organs such as the heart and liver
ldquoI can envision a day that we could replen-ish the body with substitute parts that are not harvested from another body but are grown from our own stem cellsrdquo he con-cludes

PASTORS CORNER
In May of 2006 I was praying to the Lord one evening amp the Lord gave me some specific instructions He
said ldquoTeach my people how to live ac-cording to My Wordrdquo I responded by asking Him what He meant by that
He said ldquoMost of My children do not know what it means to live by My Word As a result they are being destroyedrdquo He went on to discuss some other things with me that night As I sat and listened to Him I realized that this is the message that needs to be taught to the Church in these last days That night I committed to the Lord that I would take this message to the world
So in May of 2006 I began ministering on how to live your life by the Word of Godin our services As a result we have had some powerful meetings Great healings and salvations have occurred as well
What the Lord is about to reveal to the body of Christ over the com-ing months is going to literally transform us from living like mere unchanged men into a liberating domi-nating force in the earth today
Several years ago the Lord ask me a ques-tion ldquoAre My Words abiding in yourdquo I had such a desire to for more of God that I was crying out to Him ldquoLord I want to know you morerdquo I recognized the voice of the Holy Spirit asking me that question ldquoAre My Words abiding in yourdquo Then almost immediately before I could say anything He responded with a command ldquoAbide in My Word and you will have that intense relationship that you are seekingrdquo
I began weeping That question changed my life forever In John 15347 we read where Jesus declares
ldquoNow ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you Abide in me and I in you As the branch can-not bear fruit of itself except it abide in me If ye abide in me and my words abide in you ye shall ask what ye will and it shall be done unto yourdquo
The Word ldquoabiderdquo in John chapter 15 is our focus today When Jesus told us to obey His commandments and keep His Word He wasnrsquot just telling us to follow a bunch of religious rules and regulations
He was telling us to allow His Word - which is alive and full of creative power (Hebrews 412) to make its home within our hearts
He was telling us to spend time with it to meditate on it to fill our minds and our mouths with it To let His Word dominate our beliefs control our thoughts and guide our very actions
The Apostle Paul put it this way ldquoLet the Word of Christ dwell in you richlyhelliprdquo Co-lossians 316 Most believers donrsquot have any idea what this means We cry out for more of God yet we have no idea how to receive that request
John 11 tells us ldquoIn the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was Godrdquo
We need to come to the understanding that God and His Word are one and the
same God is His Word and His Word is God If we want more of God than we need more of His Word
Yet when we cry out for answers we miss it We try to receive from God and or experience Him outside of His Word We try to receive from God through our senses
Thatrsquos one of the reasons some Christians fall short in ex-
periencing the power of God in their lives When we spend time abiding in His Word we are literally spending time in the pres-ence of God And according to Habakkuk 34 His presence is the hiding place of His power
Oral Roberts once said that ldquoWhen the Word is really abiding in you when its alive and producing like it should you can hear the Word talking to yourdquo We all know what itrsquos like when we get a song stuck in our mind We just keep hearing it over and over again
Well its much the same way when we start abiding in the Word of God We will hear the Word over and over in our hearts speak-ing to us Many times when I wake up in the morning I will have a song on my heart a praise song to my Lord But there are also times when I wake up in the morning and all I hear is the Word of God speaking to me
There have been times when Irsquove been in a desperate situation wondering what I was going to do when suddenly Irsquod hear a scrip-

PRO-LIFERS EMBOLDENED DESPITE DEATH THREATS
A leading pro-life Christian activist organization has re-ceived another death threat
After the presidential election concluded Operation Rescue received a death threat through its website In a press release president Troy Newman attributes the threat to an abortion supporter emboldened by Barack Obamarsquos presidential victory
Newman notes the only surprise was the vicious-ness of the remarks ldquoOperation Rescue is not new to these sorts of threatsrdquo he explains ldquoWersquove been anthraxed if you will from a fake anthrax hoax Wersquove had our buildings and trucks vandalized Irsquove had guns shoved in my facerdquo
He contends pro-abortion forces will only grow stronger in an Obama administra-tion believing they can ldquoharm pro-lifers and get away with itrdquo The website threat reads that ldquoany act of lsquoanti-abortion ter-rorrsquo would be lsquoANSWERED IN KIND BY PRO-CHOICE COUNTERTERRORISTS
who will mount violent attacks against right-to-lifersrsquordquo (Emphasis by pro-abor-tionist)
According to Newman the threats will make no difference in Operation
Rescuersquos mission adding that it should not deter any Christian of a like mind ldquoGod has not given us a spirit of fear but a spirit of boldness and we need to continue to plead on behalf of those who have no voice -- and thatrsquos what Opera-
tion Rescue is going to continue to dordquo he points out ldquoWe refuse to be intimi-dated by those who dislike the pro-life messagerdquo
Newman plans to continue to implement Operation Rescuersquos history of ldquopeaceful pro-life activismrdquo even in the face of ldquopro-abortion bullying and intimidationrdquo He cites Proverbs 2411 which says believers are to rescue those who are being taken away to death and hold back those who are stumbling to the slaughter
lsquoELDERLY PROP 8 SUPPORTER ROUGHED UP FILING CHARGES
An elderly California woman will file charges against homosexuals who attacked her during a protest
against the passage of Proposition 8
Last Friday evening homosexual activ-ists and their supporters gathered at the Palm Springs City Hall protesting voter approved Prop 8 which defines mar-riage as between a man and a woman Phyllis Burgess went to the rally and car-ried a Styrofoam cross through the crowd
As ABC affiliate KESQ-TV carried that rally live homosexuals surrounded the 69-year-old woman began pushing her reportedly spit on her and grabbed the cross from her arms and threw it on the ground
Burgess remained calm throughout the melee ldquoI was really so overflowing with peacefulness in my heart that I just couldnrsquot see thisrdquo she says ldquoIt wasnrsquot in my mind it really wasnrsquotrdquoInitially Burgess said she did not want to file charges but changed her mind after authorities encouraged her to do so She says she went to the rally ldquojust to get my remarks across at my city hall where I have lived for 30 yearsrdquo She adds ldquoIf it takes endangerment should that stop me Irsquom a senior -- we respect elder abuse in this cityrdquo
Police are reviewing video in hopes of iden-tifying suspects Charges would be assault and vandalism both misdemeanors
The lsquotrue facersquo of opponentsRandy Thomasson of the Campaign for Children and Families says the attack on Burgess is one of many incidents in Cali-fornia directed at supporters of traditional marriage He notes that among the rage and shouting displayed at the rally protestors also used the ldquon-wordrdquo against black people
Thomasson equates their behavior with a toddlerrsquos temper tantrum saying that homosexuals are demonstrat-ing their deep intolerance for not only people who believe
real marriage exists between a man and a woman but also for people of faith and color
ldquoAmerica needs to see the true face of the homosexual activists who are intolerant against people of faith and anyone who be-lieves in real marriage between a man and a womanrdquo he contends
According to Thomasson the peaceful marches of Dr Martin Luther King Jr are drastically different than the recent violent displays mainly because King was seeking natural civil rights and homosexuals are demanding public endorsement of their ldquoun-natural sexual behaviorrdquo

If and then IF you put God first THEN He will crown you with success
ldquoJust exactly how do I put God firstrdquo you might ask Well you can start with saying ldquoGood morning Lordrdquo when you wake up each morning You can talk to God and ask
Him to guide your day and ask the Holy Spirit to remind you of Jesus throughout the day
You can ask God to help you make right choices Try to make it a habit to think of God during the day just as you might think of a best friend Jesus is your friend isnrsquot He
Put God first and just see how good your day really can be Godrsquos Word works
ldquoIn everything you do put God first and He will crown your efforts with successrdquo (Proverbs 36)
With my four children - all two years apart in age - we have a very busy
home especially when we have to get ready for school and church in the mornings
On school mornings the kids drag out of bed hurry to get dressed and brush their teeth gobble down a bowl of cereal get their lunch and backpack ready and finally out the door they go Does it ever happen like that at your houseI
But wait a minute we forgot something - or Someone What about God In our rush to get out the door did we even think about God Did we even think to talk and acknowledge Him As our Bible verse says today ldquoIF you want God to crown you with success -
success is everything that is good - THEN you have to put Him firstrdquo

Mercy and grace and favor did come by Jesus Christ and also that truth which verified the promises and predictions concerning Him and which exposed and corrected the various errors which had been imbibed respecting the Supreme Being His attributes laws and dispensa-tions
By conveying the Bible to people we certainly do them a most interesting act of kindness We thereby enable them to learn that man was originally created and placed in a state of happiness but be-
coming disobedient was subjected to the degradation and evils which he and his posterity have since experienced The Bi-ble will also inform them that our gracious Creator has provided for us a Redeemer in whom all the nations of the earth should be blessed ndash that this Redeemer has made atonement ldquofor the sins of the whole worldrdquo and thereby reconciling the Divine justice with the Divine mercy has opened a way for our redemption and salvation and that these inestimable ben-efits are of the free gift and grace of God not of our deserving nor in our power to deserve The Bible will also [encourage] them with many explicit and consoling as-surances of the Divine mercy to our fallen race and with repeated invitations to accept the offers of pardon and reconcili-ation They therefore who enlist in His service have the highest encourage-ment to fulfill the dunotties assigned to their respective stations for most certain it is that those of His followers who [partici-
pate in] His conquests will also participate in the trannotscendent glories and blessings of His Triumph
I recommend a general and public return of praise and thanksgiving to Him from whose goodness these blessings descend The most effectual means of securing the continuance of our civil and religious liberties is always to remember with reverence and gratitude the source from which they flow
The Bible is the best of all books for it is the word of God and teaches us the way to be happy in this world and in the next Continue therefore to read it and to regulate your life by its precepts
[T]he evidence of the truth of Christianity requires only to be carefully examined to produce conviction in candid minds they who undertake that task will derive advan-tages
Providence has given to our people the choice of their rulers and it is the duty as well as the privilege and interest of our Christian nation to select and prefer Chris-tians for their rulers
THOMAS JEFFERSONSIGNER OF THE DECLARATION OF INDE-PENDENCE DIPLOMAT GOVERNOR OF VIRGINIA SECRETARY OF STATE THIRD PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES
The doctrines of Jesus are simple and tend all to the happiness of man
The practice of morality being necessary for the well being of society He [God] has taken care to impress its precepts so indelibly on our hearts that they shall not be effaced by the subtleties of our brain We all agree in the obligation of the moral principles of Jesus and nowhere will they be found deliv-ered in greater purity than in His discourses
I am a Christian in the only sense in which He wished anyone to be sincerely attached to His doctrines in preference to all others
I am a real Christian ndash that is to say a dis-
ciple of the doctrines of Jesus Christ
JAMES KENTJUDGE LAW PROFESSOR ldquoFATHER OF AMERICAN JURISPRUDENCErdquo
My children I wish to talk to you During my early and middle life I was perhaps rather skeptical with regard to some of the truths of Christianity Not that I did not have the utmost respect for religion and always read my Bible but the doc-trine of the atonement was one I never could understand and I felt inclined to consider as impossible to be received in the way Divines taught it I believe I was rather inclined to Unitarianism but of late years my views have altered I believe in the doctrines of the prayer books as I understand them and hope to be saved through the merits of Jesus Christ My object in telling you this is that if anything happens to me you might know and perhaps it would console you to remember that on this point my mind is clear I rest my hopes of salvation on the Lord Jesus Christ
FRANCIS SCOTT KEYU S ATTORNEY FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA AUTHOR OF THE ldquoSTAR SPANGLED BANNERrdquo
[M]ay I always hear that you are follow-ing the guidance of that blessed Spirit that will lead you into all truth leaning on that Almighty arm that has been extend-ed to deliver you trusting only in the only
Savior and go-ing on in your way to Him rejoic-ing
It is so important for the Body of Jesus Christ to
realize that we must handle the wealth of this world in order to reach this world The revival we are entering is of such a great magnitude that believers everywhere are going to be required to grow in all aspects in order to participate That will certainly mean financial growth
The prophet Haggai spoke of this revival of the nations
Yet once it is a while and I will shake the heavens and the earth and the sea and the dry land and I will shake all nations and the desire of all nations shall come and I will fill this house with glory saith the Lord of hosts The silver is mine and the gold is mine saith the Lord of hosts The glory of this latter house shall be greater than the former saith the Lord of hosts and in this place will I give peace saith the Lord of hosts (Hag 26-9)
God declares that His glory will be revealed in the nations In the middle of this prophecy He speaks of the silver and the gold being His It may first seem to be out of place but then you see that for the nations to be affected and for the glory of God to be revealed in the house of God the gold and silver must be moved out of the hands of the nations - the world - and into the hands of His nation the Church
There is a shifting of wealth ahead in the earth Wealth is to come into the hands of godly men and women who will bring glory to God with it The wealth of this earth is not here to satisfy the lusts and greed of the perverted It is here to bring the freedom of Jesus Christ to the na-tions It is to bring glory to God
If you will not be afraid of the responsibil-ity of wealth God will show you how to increase in a greater measure
Too many people have put the responsi-bility for their development and advance-ment in the hands of God when He has clearly put it in their hands
Galatians 67 says it this way ldquoA manrsquos harvest in life will depend entirely on what he sowsrdquo (Phillips)
The context of this verse is the money given to those who teach the Word of God You establish your own harvest by your giving to Godrsquos work
In Galatians 68 Paul says ldquoFor he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption but he that soweth

to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlastingrdquo
Certainly this verse reaches beyond the financial realm But the context is regarding giving Our giving and honoring God with tithes and offerings is sowing to the spirit Your money reaches into the spirit realm
You can see this is in the words of the angel of the Lord sent to Cornelius who had hon-ored God
There was a certain man in Caesarea called Cornelius a centurion of the band called the Italian band a devout man and one that feared God with all his house which gave much alms to the people and prayed to God always He saw in a vision evidently about the ninth hour of the day an angel of God coming in to him and saying unto him Cornelius And when he looked on him he was afraid and said What is it Lord And he said unto him Thy prayers and thine alms are come up for a memorial before God (Acts 101-4)
Here is a man hungry for the reality of God reaching out in the only way he knew He prayed and he gave The angel said that his praying and giving had built a memorial be-fore God He had entered into the spirit realm with prayer and giving The money he gave went up before God in the Spirit and became an evidence of his hunger and honor for God
His faith and hunger for God resulted in the Apostle Peter receiving a vision that commis-sioned him to bring the gospel to the Gentiles as well as to the Jews (Acts 109-48)
Your praying and giving in faith bring your needs into the presence of God It is the very evidence that you are looking to Him and not to your own ability to meet your needs or change your circumstances When you honor Him He will direct you and guide your steps
There is a final aspect of what your giving will do that I must include here In 2 Corinthians 9 the Holy Spirit through Paul summarizes this principle
He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully Ev-ery man according as he purposeth in his heart so let him give not grudgingly or of necessity for God loveth a cheerful giver And God is able to make all grace abound toward you that ye always having sufficiency in all things may abound to every good work (2 Cor 96-8)
Paul said that all grace would abound toward you The various aspects of grace that bring Godrsquos ability to you for any area of life will increase according to your giving and sowing into the kingdom of God
That puts the growth and advancement in your life within your influence Your will-ingness to honor God with your wealth and to reach out in faith to give brings you to a place of Godrsquos ability multiplying on your behalf
To say it once again Galatians 67 in the Phillips translation is the most powerful and clear summary of this entire subject ldquoA manrsquos harvest in life will depend entirely on what he sowsrdquo
Your harvest can change if you will choose to sow the right seeds Let Godrsquos grace for giving be multiplied in you

Three Things Dating is NotDating is not really a biblical word at all That doesnrsquot mean itrsquos wrong to go out with someone on a ldquodaterdquo But it is important to remember what the Bible has to say about develop-ing romantic friendships
If you begin dating without some clear guidelines and boundaries you are headed for disaster Take a quick glance at what dating is not
Dating is not for those who arenrsquot ready In my opinion dating shouldnrsquot even be a consideration until a young person is at least 16 years old
Thatrsquos been ldquothe Lawrdquo with my three teenage boys and theyrsquore doing just fine with it That doesnrsquot mean you canrsquot have good friendships with the opposite sex just keep things in a group environment
Dating is not a great way to ldquoreally get to know someonerdquo Why Be-cause everyone is on best behavior during a date
If you really want to get to know someone watch the person at school every day or both of you get a job together at McDonaldrsquos Eight straight hours over a hot greaser full of fries will tell you the real tale
Dating is not all itrsquos cracked up to be Think about two people out together who hardly know each other Theyrsquore young and have limited social skills They have to try to create awkward conversation for hours on end
The point is itrsquos usually a whole lot easier to get to know someone among a group of other friends who can help fill those awkward mo-ments keeping things fun

Following a meeting last week between leading Lebanese legislator Sarsquoad Hariri and Russian leaders
Hariri was quoted by Russian me-dia this weekend as saying Russia will sell heavy weaponry to Leba-non Previously Hariri said that he hoped Russia would help Leb-anon claim Mt Dov from Israel Russia is ex-pecting Lebanon to recognize the independence of the breakaway Georgian dis-tricts of Abkha-zia and South Ossetia
Hariri the son of the assassinat-ed popular former Prime Minister Rafik Hariri represents the West-ern-backed majority in the Leba-nese parliament Russia will ldquohelp the Lebanese armyrdquo the Vremia Novosti newspaper quoted Hariri as saying ldquowhich needs heavy weaponsrdquo such as tanks and artil-lery American military aid Hariri told Russian media only consists of light arms
Lebanese Defense Minister Elias Murr is to visit Moscow in coming weeks when the details of the arms deal will be finalized The Russian state arms export firm Rosobo-ronexport has been boycotted by the United States government for arms deals with Iran North Korea
and Syria
In early October Prime Minister Ehud Olmert met with Russian President Dmitry Medvedev and urged him not to approve the sale of weapons to Iran and Syria It was imperative he told the Russian leader to ldquopre-
vent weapons from Syria from reaching extrem-ist elements in Lebanon such as Hizbullahrdquo
Mt Dov and Ab-khazia-S Ossetia - Quid Pro Quo
Last week during an official visit to Moscow by Hariri
and other legislators Lebanese media strongly emphasized Haririrsquos expres-sion of his appreciation for Russiarsquos role in working towards an Israeli with-drawal from the Mt Dov area (called ldquoShabrsquoa Farmsrdquo in Lebanon) along the Israeli border with Lebanon A report published by the Beirut-based English-language Daily Star was en-titled ldquoHariri Looks to Russia to Help Liberate Shabrsquoa Farmsrdquo although the article itself did not present any direct quote on the matter from Lebanese or Russian officials
After his meeting with Hariri Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said that Rus-sia was against foreign interference in Lebanese domestic affairs It was not clear if he was referring to actions

RUSSIA TO SELL HEAVY ARMS TO LEBANON
Mike Huckabee wouldnrsquot rule out a 2012 run for president Wednesday but
he acknowledged it could be hard to take back the spotlight from fellow Republican Sarah Palin ldquoIrsquom not ruling anything out for the future but Irsquom not making any specific plansrdquo Huckabee told reporters at a briefing to promote his new book ldquoDo the Right Thingrdquo
ldquoItrsquos not something Irsquom sitting around thinking aboutrdquo
Huckabee a former Arkansas governor said he expects Palin
to continue to have a leading voice in the Republican Party though he acknowledged he was envious of
her meteoric rise after Sen John McCain brought her out of relative ob-scurity as gov-ernor of Alaska to run with him this year as the vice presiden-tial candidate
Huckabee credited Palin
with energizing McCainrsquos campaign and said that her surprise selec-tion for the GOP ticket helped her to ldquoleapfrog over the processrdquo that other Republicans _ including himself _ had to endure to become national political figures
ldquoIrsquom not frustrated by itrdquo Hucka-bee said ldquoItrsquos not a resentment on her part Itrsquos an envyrdquo
Huckabee plans to stay on the national political stage through his shows hersquoll host on Fox News Channel and ABC Radio
The former Arkansas governor ran a scrappy but underfunded presidential campaign this year staying in the race until March when McCain secured enough delegates to win the nomination All the other serious Republican contenders had dropped out weeks before
Huckabee ran as a religious conservative though many conservative leaders wouldnrsquot support him Despite a lack of money Huckabee won the leadoff caucuses in Iowa and seven other states His book tour will take him to Iowa later this month
Huckabee and McCain had a cordial relationship during the campaign but Huckabee clearly didnrsquot like former Massachusetts Gov Mitt Romney another con-tender for the GOP nomination
In his book Huckabee slams Romney for changing positions on issues such as abortion rights and gay marriage
ldquoHe spent more time on the road to Damascus than a Syrian camel driver And we thought nobody could fill John Kerryrsquos
flip-flopsrdquo Huckabee wrote
Romneyrsquos record he wrote ldquowas anything but conservative until he changed all the light-bulbs in his chandelier in time to run for presidentrdquo
A spokesman for Romney dis-missed Huckabeersquos comments in the book as ldquopetty stuffrdquo
ldquoWe need to focus on mov-ing the party forward with new ideasrdquo Romney spokesman Eric Fehrnstrom said ldquoUnfortu-nately Mike Huckabee seems more interested in settling scores than bringing people togetherrdquo
Huckabee said Wednesday he was simply writing with the same candor he showed dur-ing the campaign
ldquoThere was obvious tension and again it wasnrsquot just me but with other candidates and so I addressed where that came fromrdquo Huckabee said ldquoOne of the things people came to believe that they would get from me was can-dorrdquo
ldquoIf I had written this book and totally ignored some of the obvious issues that were there I think people would have said the book lacked credibility and candorrdquo he said

The same official char-acterized UN attempts to elicit answers from Tehran on al-legations that it had drafted plans for nuclear weapons programs as at a standstill
The Syrian report said ldquoit cannot be excludedrdquo that the building de-stroyed in a remote stretch of the Syrian desert on Sept 6 2007 was ldquointended for non-nuclear userdquo
Still ldquothe features of the building are similar to what may be found in connection with a reactor siterdquo it said suggesting facilityrsquos size also fits that picture
The report took note of Syrian as-sertions that any uranium particles found at the site must have come from Israeli missiles that hit the building near the town of Al Kibar And it cited Damascus officials as saying the IAEA samples contained only a ldquovery limited numberrdquo of such particles
But the report spoke of a ldquosignificant
number of particlesrdquo found in the samples
The senior UN official said ldquothe onus of this investigation is on Syr-iardquo and noted that the traces were not of depleted uranium mdash the most commonly used variety of the met-al in ammunition meant to harden ordnance for increased penetra-
tion
Satellite imagery made public in the wake of the Israeli attack noted that the Syrians subsequent-ly removed substantial amounts of topsoil and entombed the building in concrete But the report also suggested similar activities at three other
Syrian sites of IAEA interest
ldquoAnalysis of satellite imagery taken of these locations indicates that landscaping activities and the re-moval of large containers took place shortly after the agencyrsquos re-quest for accessrdquo it said
Beyond one visit in June to the Al Kibar site Syria has refused IAEA requests to return to that location and examine the three other sites citing the need to protect its military secrets
In addition said the report ldquoSyria has not yet provided the requested documentationrdquo to back up its as-sertions that the bombed building was a non-nuclear military facility
Iran denies such plans saying it wants to enrich for a future large-scale civilian nuclear program But suspicions have been compounded by its monthslong refusal to answer IAEA questions based on US Is-

ture down on the inside of me The still small voice of the Holy Spirit would be speaking the living Word of God to my heart
At that moment I knew I had a decision to make Do I act on the Word of God or by how I feel After hearing the Word of God I knew what the answer was to my situation But I still had a choice God was not go-ing to make me act on His Word
This is where you and I have to choose to live by His Word and not by our natural reasoning if we want to win Well Rory you may say if I knew what God was saying about my situation I would do it I just donrsquot know what God is saying about my situation
That is precisely what I am talking about here friend The only way we are ever go-ing to know what God is saying about our situations is if we are doing what Jesus commanded us to do in John chapter 15
When we learn to live in the Word then His Word will begin speaking to us
Jesus said ldquoAbide live or dwell in My Word Then ask what you will and it shall be donerdquo
Start abiding in His Word Be obedient to every Word
that the Holy Spirit brings to your mind Make the quality decision to live your life by the Word of God and youll start experienc-ing more of His liberating presence in your life today
At that moment I knew I had a

RUSSIA TO SELL HEAVY ARMS TO LEBANON
by Syria Israel or other foreign in-terventions
The Iran-controlled Lebanese ter-rorist organization Hizbullah in the meantime said recently that an Is-raeli withdrawal from Mt Dov would only be a start The group claims seven Arab villages in northern Is-rael are actually Lebanese In any event both Iran and Hizbullah have repeatedly made it clear that they do not believe Israel should exist at
all regardless of bor-der demarcations A Hizbullah spokesman said last week that the group would not give up it arms until Lebanon had another force capa-ble of confronting Israel
Touching on Lebanese policy towards matters in the Slavic states Hariri was quoted as saying that Lebanon may well recognize the indepen-dence of the breakaway Georgian districts of
South Ossetia and Abkhazia The Russian Vremya Novostei news-paper quoted Hariri as saying ldquoWe will fine tune contacts with South Ossetia and Abkhazia now For example delegations of Lebanese businessmen will be leaving for there soonrdquo Russia has backed the secession of the regions from Georgia including launching a war in their defense in August of this year
In his last Thanksgiving as the Commander in Chief Tuesday President Bush thanked US
troops for a ldquojob well donerdquo noting that even though thousands of soldiers are returning home the war is not yet over
During his visit to Fort Campbell Ky Bush offered comfort for troops coming back home and for those who are pre-paring to deploy again In November alone more than 10000 soldiers had returned to the military base most of them from Iraq
In recent weeks this post has been the scene of heart-warming family reunionsrdquo he said ldquoMany of you have recently finished deployments to Iraq You performed with cour-age and distinction on the front lines of the war on terror You have returned on successrdquo
Still the President warned that ldquothe war in Iraq is not overrdquo and
stressed the importance of victory in the country
ldquoSuccess will frustrate Iranrsquos ambi-tions to dominate the region Suc-cess will show millions across the Middle East that a future of liberty and
democracy is possible Suc-cess will deny al-Qaeda a safe haven for launching new attacksrdquo Bush said ldquoSuccess in Iraq will mean that the Ameri-can people are more secure at homerdquo
Over the next few weeks the White House says 3000 soldiers from the 101st Airborne will deploy to Afghani-stan while 450 will be sent to Iraq In January another 1200 will be de-ployed to Iraq from Fort Campbell
Bush called the work of the troops ldquohistoricalrdquo and and said he expected their efforts in Iraq will resonate far beyond the country and into history books

A tremendous pyramid of evidence for design and recent cre-ation is available for detailed study
Romans 120 states ldquoFor the invisible things of him from the creation are clearly seen being understood by the things that are made even his eternal power and Godhead so that they are without excuserdquo1 Human Artifacts throughout the Geologic ColumnMan-made artifacts - such as the hammer in Cretaceous rock a human sandal print with trilobite in Cambrian rock human foot-prints and a handprint in Cretaceous rock ndash point to the fact that all the supposed geologic periods actually occurred at the same time in the recent past11
2 Helium Content in Earthrsquos Atmosphere Physicist Melvin Cook found that helium-4 enters our atmosphere from solar wind and radioactive decay of uranium At present rates our at-mosphere would accumulate current helium-4 amounts in less than 10000 years12
3 Expansion of Space FabricAstronomical estimates of the distance to various galaxies gives conflicting data13 The Bibli-cal Record refers to the expansion of space by the Creator14 Astrophysicist Russell Humphries demonstrates that such space expansion would dilate time in distant space15 This could explain a recent creation with great distances to the stars
4 Design in Living SystemsA living cell is so awesomely complex that its interdependent components stagger the imagi-nation and defy evolutionary explanations A minimal cell con-tains over 60000 proteins of 100 different configurations16 The chance of this assemblage occurring by chance is 1 in 10 4478296 17
5 Design in the Human BrainThe human brain is the most complicated structure in the known universe18 It contains over 100 billion cells each with over 50000 neuron connections to other brain cells19 This structure receives over 100 million separate signals from the total human body every second If we learned something new every second of our lives it would take three million years to exhaust the capacity of the human brain 20 In addition to conscious thought people can actually reason anticipate consequences and devise plans - all without know-ing they are doing so21

Fugitive terrorist Osama bin Laden is planning new attacks against the US that will ldquooutdo by farrdquo the attacks of 911
according to a report in a London-based Arabic newspaper
The paper Al-Quds Al-Arabi quotes a former senior Yemeni al-Qaida official saying the terror group is now in a ldquopositive phaserdquo of staff-ing and rebuilding training camps around the globe The action will lead to the next ldquowave of actionrdquo against the US the paper reported
ldquoThis will be shown by the fact that we now control a major part of the south of Somaliardquo the Yemeni source told the paper
According to the report bin Laden is personally involved in the preparations and is looking to ldquochange the face of world politics and econom-icsrdquo
The paper is edited by Abdel al-Bari Atwan the last journalist to interview bin Laden in 1996The Yemeni operative says he remains in contact with current al-Qaida chiefs He claims
BIN LADEN PLANS NEW ATTACKS BIGGER THAN 911
GOODYEAR
bin Laden sent a message to all jihad cells in the Arab world six months ago urging them not to interact with their governments or local political parties
More signs of al-Qaidarsquos violent intentions are expected over the next few days the paper reported
The al-Qaida warning comes just one day after The Telegraph newspaper published a leaked government report showing thousands of extremists are active in the UK The document says the operatives are mostly native Brits between 18 and 30 Many have been trained in overseas terrorist camps
Security officials warned that al-Qaida will attempt another ldquospectacularrdquo in the UK likely focused on airports or train stations The Telegraph reported Other potential targets include the Houses of Parliament and Whitehall Buckingham and St Jamesrsquo palaces
MIRACLErsquo TURNAROUND IN DELAWARE EUTHANASIA CASE
The Al-liance Defense
Fund has reached a favorable settlement in a lawsuit that pit-ted a divorced father and mother against
each another over whether their 24-year-old daughter should live
Lauren Richardson sustained a severe brain injury in August 2006 according to an Alli-ance Defense Fund (ADF) press release The doctors then declared she would be in a ldquopersistent vegetative staterdquo ADF attorney Matt Bowman tells OneNews-Now Laurenrsquos mother was fighting to have Laurenrsquos feeding tube and water discontin-ued but she had a change of heart ldquoThe
miracle in Lauren Richardsonrsquos case is that both of her parents came to realize that life should be protectedrdquo he explains ldquoItrsquos inherently valuable and just because Lauren has a severe disability doesnrsquot mean that her life is not valuablerdquo
Laurenrsquos mother became a born-again Christian and visited her daughter at her hospital facility which Bowman believes was quite eye-opening ldquoAnd then an amazing thing happenedrdquo he notes ldquoShe told Lauren that Lauren would be cared for and Lauren started crying and they cried together and she realized that her daughter was really there and was really respondingrdquo Lauren was also responding to pain music family membersrsquo voices touch and assisted exercise The parents have agreed to settle the case and share joint guardianship of Lauren
ldquoFor if any man be a hearer of the word and not a doer he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass For he beholds himself and goeth his way and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty and continueth therein he being not a forgetful hearer but a doer of the work this man is blessed in his deedrdquo (James 1 23-25)
Many times in praying for indi-viduals who are being afflicted
with some aliment or sickness Irsquoll bring a mirror Not a physical glass mirror but the mirror of the Word of God The reason I bring this mirror is that a lot of times the individual that is trying to receive their healing has become so preoccupied with the sickness or pain that is plaguing them that they have forgotten and or have become blinded to who and what they are
As I minister to them Irsquoll attempt to do what James instructed us to do and bring the Perfect Law of Liberty before their eyes Irsquoll attempt to help them see who they really are THE HEALED
If I am able to get people preoccupied with what the Word of God has said about them and unoccupied with their symptoms God is able to help them receive experience and walk in their healing
The Word ldquolookethrdquo here in James 125 means ldquoTo bend over and peer into to get a better lookrdquo When you begin to peer into the Word of God yoursquoll begin to see yourself as a person who has been healed and made FREE
Yoursquoll begin to see an image of health instead of sickness and pain For example Isaiah 533-5 amp 1 Peter 224 tell us that God has already healed us
Colossians 113 says that God has already delivered us from the power of darkness
2 Peter 13 proclaims that God has given us ALL THINGS that pertain to life and godliness
And in Luke 1019 Jesus Himself declares that He has given us authority over all the power of the enemy and noth-ing shall by any means hurt us
Glory to God Are you beginning to see your reflection in the Word of total and complete healing James 122-25 is telling us to look into this mirror When we are preoccupied and influenced by what we see in the Word of God we will begin receiving what God has promised us HEALING
Are you occupied with the feelings of sickness today or are you being consumed with 1 Peter 224 which declares ldquoBY HIS STRIPES YE WERE HEALEDrdquo James instructs us to not only look but to keep on looking into this mirror ldquohellipthis man (then) is blessed in his deedrdquo
This is one of the requirements that God has established in His Word in receiving and walking in divine health You see being occupied and influenced by the symptoms of sickness is actually reversing the condition which God
requires in receiving our healing
By being occupied by what we feel we are actually reinforcing the condition the devil has us in We become bound limited and restrained
Romans 618 declares to us that we ARE FREE We are free from sick-ness and liberated from pain Glory to God We do not have to stay one more minute being bound by the symptoms of sickness and disease if we would just continue looking into the mirror of the Word of God
We could take a life lesson from Abraham our Father in the faith and imitate him He refuse to consider his own body and he waxed strong in faith LOOKING unto the promises of God (Romans 418-21)
We also can follow after Sarah We read in Hebrews 1111 Where Sarah received physical powerhellip because she considered [God] Who had given her the promise to be reli-able and trustworthy and true to His Wordrdquo (Amp)
The word ldquolookethrdquo also means ldquoto considerrdquo
You see instead of considering her limitations which were her age her body etc she looked or considered the promise of Gods Word and received the faith she needed to receive that promise in her life
In Numbers 218 we read an account where thousands of Israelites were dying So Moses under the direction of God put a brass serpent on a pole and raised it up before the people In verse 8 we read ldquoAnd it shall come to pass that everyone that is bitten when he LOOKETH upon it shall liverdquo Notice the condition for their healing was ldquoeveryone who LOOKETH shall liverdquo
No one would receive their healing except on the condi-tion that they LOOK and continue LOOKING at the brass serpent which was a prophetic type of Christ The serpent represents the curse of the law (sickness) In Galatians 313 we read where ldquoChrist hat redeemed us from the curse of the law (sickness) being made a curse for us for it is written cursed is everyone who hangeth on a treerdquo
The Word looketh here in Numbers 218 literally infers ldquoa continual starerdquo The Israelites were not to just glance at the brass serpent they were to continually stare at it giving it their full attention until they were healed
The same is true today The healing process is com-pleted as we not only begin to look into the Perfect Law of Liberty but to stay looking at the promises of God We are to give the Word of God our full attention until we are that Word in our lives
Begin looking at the right mirror Change your focus from the deception of sickness to the reality of healing Walk in the freedom of health by looking into the Perfect Law of Liberty today By Pastor Rory Synoground

ldquoI think the President-elect is getting the message that the market is worried that if you wait too long the economy will have fallen too far to really recoverrdquo he said
But the costs will be staggering Bloom-berg News estimates that just the plans laid out so far could cost $77 trillion The deficit in 2009 alone might well hit $1 tril-lion
Lending Creditors a Hand
And the Treasury has thrown in another twist using some of the $700 billion Con-gress has already okrsquod for a new purpose - to help lenders finance credit card auto and student loans
In a surprise move today to help the ailing housing industry the Fed said it will buy up to $600 billion in mortgage-backed assets
And after pumping $20 billion more into flail-ing Citigroup President George Bush let it be known that even more rescue packages may well be on the way
ldquoAnd if need be wersquore going to make these kind of decisions to safeguard our financial system in the futurerdquo Bush said
Defending all the billions for bailouts the President says hersquos been warned the econ-omy could spiral into a downturn even worse than the Great Depression unless govern-ment acts aggressively
The Citigroup Controversy
But people are divided about rescuing fi-nanciers like Citigroup whorsquove made bad investments but are so vital to the eco-nomic system

A major medical breakthrough involving adult stem cells has occurred in Spain
Medical researchers in Spain replaced 30-year-old Claudia Castillorsquos windpipe by grow-ing her own stem cells in the shape of the damaged body part and her body has not rejected it According to The Independent Castillorsquos bout with tuberculosis left her with a collapsed lung and unable to breathe or do many daily activities such as look after and play with her two children
Dr Robert Scheidt is with the Christian Medical amp Dental Associations (CMDA) and applauds the so-called ldquonew age in surgi-cal carerdquo ldquoI just canrsquot get over the marvel of recreating an organ -- and an organ thatrsquos compatible because it uses the patientrsquos original DNA and tissues -- and it worksrdquo he notes
This accomplishment according to Scheidt is just another reason why research on hu-man embryos will not work while adult stem cells are already successful ldquoWe found out that stem cells have a peculiar property that
if theyrsquore placed in an organ -- it can be one of several organs -- they assume the identity of the organ into which they are placed and then start to work accordinglyrdquo he explains
Castillo is also the first patient to receive a whole organ transplant without needing to take strong immunosuppressant drugs to aid in the bodyrsquos adjustment Dr Scheidt believes the success brings healthcare officials closer to recreating and transplant-ing organs such as the heart and liver
ldquoI can envision a day that we could replen-ish the body with substitute parts that are not harvested from another body but are grown from our own stem cellsrdquo he con-cludes

PASTORS CORNER
In May of 2006 I was praying to the Lord one evening amp the Lord gave me some specific instructions He
said ldquoTeach my people how to live ac-cording to My Wordrdquo I responded by asking Him what He meant by that
He said ldquoMost of My children do not know what it means to live by My Word As a result they are being destroyedrdquo He went on to discuss some other things with me that night As I sat and listened to Him I realized that this is the message that needs to be taught to the Church in these last days That night I committed to the Lord that I would take this message to the world
So in May of 2006 I began ministering on how to live your life by the Word of Godin our services As a result we have had some powerful meetings Great healings and salvations have occurred as well
What the Lord is about to reveal to the body of Christ over the com-ing months is going to literally transform us from living like mere unchanged men into a liberating domi-nating force in the earth today
Several years ago the Lord ask me a ques-tion ldquoAre My Words abiding in yourdquo I had such a desire to for more of God that I was crying out to Him ldquoLord I want to know you morerdquo I recognized the voice of the Holy Spirit asking me that question ldquoAre My Words abiding in yourdquo Then almost immediately before I could say anything He responded with a command ldquoAbide in My Word and you will have that intense relationship that you are seekingrdquo
I began weeping That question changed my life forever In John 15347 we read where Jesus declares
ldquoNow ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you Abide in me and I in you As the branch can-not bear fruit of itself except it abide in me If ye abide in me and my words abide in you ye shall ask what ye will and it shall be done unto yourdquo
The Word ldquoabiderdquo in John chapter 15 is our focus today When Jesus told us to obey His commandments and keep His Word He wasnrsquot just telling us to follow a bunch of religious rules and regulations
He was telling us to allow His Word - which is alive and full of creative power (Hebrews 412) to make its home within our hearts
He was telling us to spend time with it to meditate on it to fill our minds and our mouths with it To let His Word dominate our beliefs control our thoughts and guide our very actions
The Apostle Paul put it this way ldquoLet the Word of Christ dwell in you richlyhelliprdquo Co-lossians 316 Most believers donrsquot have any idea what this means We cry out for more of God yet we have no idea how to receive that request
John 11 tells us ldquoIn the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was Godrdquo
We need to come to the understanding that God and His Word are one and the
same God is His Word and His Word is God If we want more of God than we need more of His Word
Yet when we cry out for answers we miss it We try to receive from God and or experience Him outside of His Word We try to receive from God through our senses
Thatrsquos one of the reasons some Christians fall short in ex-
periencing the power of God in their lives When we spend time abiding in His Word we are literally spending time in the pres-ence of God And according to Habakkuk 34 His presence is the hiding place of His power
Oral Roberts once said that ldquoWhen the Word is really abiding in you when its alive and producing like it should you can hear the Word talking to yourdquo We all know what itrsquos like when we get a song stuck in our mind We just keep hearing it over and over again
Well its much the same way when we start abiding in the Word of God We will hear the Word over and over in our hearts speak-ing to us Many times when I wake up in the morning I will have a song on my heart a praise song to my Lord But there are also times when I wake up in the morning and all I hear is the Word of God speaking to me
There have been times when Irsquove been in a desperate situation wondering what I was going to do when suddenly Irsquod hear a scrip-

PRO-LIFERS EMBOLDENED DESPITE DEATH THREATS
A leading pro-life Christian activist organization has re-ceived another death threat
After the presidential election concluded Operation Rescue received a death threat through its website In a press release president Troy Newman attributes the threat to an abortion supporter emboldened by Barack Obamarsquos presidential victory
Newman notes the only surprise was the vicious-ness of the remarks ldquoOperation Rescue is not new to these sorts of threatsrdquo he explains ldquoWersquove been anthraxed if you will from a fake anthrax hoax Wersquove had our buildings and trucks vandalized Irsquove had guns shoved in my facerdquo
He contends pro-abortion forces will only grow stronger in an Obama administra-tion believing they can ldquoharm pro-lifers and get away with itrdquo The website threat reads that ldquoany act of lsquoanti-abortion ter-rorrsquo would be lsquoANSWERED IN KIND BY PRO-CHOICE COUNTERTERRORISTS
who will mount violent attacks against right-to-lifersrsquordquo (Emphasis by pro-abor-tionist)
According to Newman the threats will make no difference in Operation
Rescuersquos mission adding that it should not deter any Christian of a like mind ldquoGod has not given us a spirit of fear but a spirit of boldness and we need to continue to plead on behalf of those who have no voice -- and thatrsquos what Opera-
tion Rescue is going to continue to dordquo he points out ldquoWe refuse to be intimi-dated by those who dislike the pro-life messagerdquo
Newman plans to continue to implement Operation Rescuersquos history of ldquopeaceful pro-life activismrdquo even in the face of ldquopro-abortion bullying and intimidationrdquo He cites Proverbs 2411 which says believers are to rescue those who are being taken away to death and hold back those who are stumbling to the slaughter
lsquoELDERLY PROP 8 SUPPORTER ROUGHED UP FILING CHARGES
An elderly California woman will file charges against homosexuals who attacked her during a protest
against the passage of Proposition 8
Last Friday evening homosexual activ-ists and their supporters gathered at the Palm Springs City Hall protesting voter approved Prop 8 which defines mar-riage as between a man and a woman Phyllis Burgess went to the rally and car-ried a Styrofoam cross through the crowd
As ABC affiliate KESQ-TV carried that rally live homosexuals surrounded the 69-year-old woman began pushing her reportedly spit on her and grabbed the cross from her arms and threw it on the ground
Burgess remained calm throughout the melee ldquoI was really so overflowing with peacefulness in my heart that I just couldnrsquot see thisrdquo she says ldquoIt wasnrsquot in my mind it really wasnrsquotrdquoInitially Burgess said she did not want to file charges but changed her mind after authorities encouraged her to do so She says she went to the rally ldquojust to get my remarks across at my city hall where I have lived for 30 yearsrdquo She adds ldquoIf it takes endangerment should that stop me Irsquom a senior -- we respect elder abuse in this cityrdquo
Police are reviewing video in hopes of iden-tifying suspects Charges would be assault and vandalism both misdemeanors
The lsquotrue facersquo of opponentsRandy Thomasson of the Campaign for Children and Families says the attack on Burgess is one of many incidents in Cali-fornia directed at supporters of traditional marriage He notes that among the rage and shouting displayed at the rally protestors also used the ldquon-wordrdquo against black people
Thomasson equates their behavior with a toddlerrsquos temper tantrum saying that homosexuals are demonstrat-ing their deep intolerance for not only people who believe
real marriage exists between a man and a woman but also for people of faith and color
ldquoAmerica needs to see the true face of the homosexual activists who are intolerant against people of faith and anyone who be-lieves in real marriage between a man and a womanrdquo he contends
According to Thomasson the peaceful marches of Dr Martin Luther King Jr are drastically different than the recent violent displays mainly because King was seeking natural civil rights and homosexuals are demanding public endorsement of their ldquoun-natural sexual behaviorrdquo

Him to guide your day and ask the Holy Spirit to remind you of Jesus throughout the day
You can ask God to help you make right choices Try to make it a habit to think of God during the day just as you might think of a best friend Jesus is your friend isnrsquot He
Put God first and just see how good your day really can be Godrsquos Word works
ldquoIn everything you do put God first and He will crown your efforts with successrdquo (Proverbs 36)
With my four children - all two years apart in age - we have a very busy
home especially when we have to get ready for school and church in the mornings
On school mornings the kids drag out of bed hurry to get dressed and brush their teeth gobble down a bowl of cereal get their lunch and backpack ready and finally out the door they go Does it ever happen like that at your houseI
But wait a minute we forgot something - or Someone What about God In our rush to get out the door did we even think about God Did we even think to talk and acknowledge Him As our Bible verse says today ldquoIF you want God to crown you with success -
success is everything that is good - THEN you have to put Him firstrdquo

Mercy and grace and favor did come by Jesus Christ and also that truth which verified the promises and predictions concerning Him and which exposed and corrected the various errors which had been imbibed respecting the Supreme Being His attributes laws and dispensa-tions
By conveying the Bible to people we certainly do them a most interesting act of kindness We thereby enable them to learn that man was originally created and placed in a state of happiness but be-
coming disobedient was subjected to the degradation and evils which he and his posterity have since experienced The Bi-ble will also inform them that our gracious Creator has provided for us a Redeemer in whom all the nations of the earth should be blessed ndash that this Redeemer has made atonement ldquofor the sins of the whole worldrdquo and thereby reconciling the Divine justice with the Divine mercy has opened a way for our redemption and salvation and that these inestimable ben-efits are of the free gift and grace of God not of our deserving nor in our power to deserve The Bible will also [encourage] them with many explicit and consoling as-surances of the Divine mercy to our fallen race and with repeated invitations to accept the offers of pardon and reconcili-ation They therefore who enlist in His service have the highest encourage-ment to fulfill the dunotties assigned to their respective stations for most certain it is that those of His followers who [partici-
pate in] His conquests will also participate in the trannotscendent glories and blessings of His Triumph
I recommend a general and public return of praise and thanksgiving to Him from whose goodness these blessings descend The most effectual means of securing the continuance of our civil and religious liberties is always to remember with reverence and gratitude the source from which they flow
The Bible is the best of all books for it is the word of God and teaches us the way to be happy in this world and in the next Continue therefore to read it and to regulate your life by its precepts
[T]he evidence of the truth of Christianity requires only to be carefully examined to produce conviction in candid minds they who undertake that task will derive advan-tages
Providence has given to our people the choice of their rulers and it is the duty as well as the privilege and interest of our Christian nation to select and prefer Chris-tians for their rulers
THOMAS JEFFERSONSIGNER OF THE DECLARATION OF INDE-PENDENCE DIPLOMAT GOVERNOR OF VIRGINIA SECRETARY OF STATE THIRD PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES
The doctrines of Jesus are simple and tend all to the happiness of man
The practice of morality being necessary for the well being of society He [God] has taken care to impress its precepts so indelibly on our hearts that they shall not be effaced by the subtleties of our brain We all agree in the obligation of the moral principles of Jesus and nowhere will they be found deliv-ered in greater purity than in His discourses
I am a Christian in the only sense in which He wished anyone to be sincerely attached to His doctrines in preference to all others
I am a real Christian ndash that is to say a dis-
ciple of the doctrines of Jesus Christ
JAMES KENTJUDGE LAW PROFESSOR ldquoFATHER OF AMERICAN JURISPRUDENCErdquo
My children I wish to talk to you During my early and middle life I was perhaps rather skeptical with regard to some of the truths of Christianity Not that I did not have the utmost respect for religion and always read my Bible but the doc-trine of the atonement was one I never could understand and I felt inclined to consider as impossible to be received in the way Divines taught it I believe I was rather inclined to Unitarianism but of late years my views have altered I believe in the doctrines of the prayer books as I understand them and hope to be saved through the merits of Jesus Christ My object in telling you this is that if anything happens to me you might know and perhaps it would console you to remember that on this point my mind is clear I rest my hopes of salvation on the Lord Jesus Christ
FRANCIS SCOTT KEYU S ATTORNEY FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA AUTHOR OF THE ldquoSTAR SPANGLED BANNERrdquo
[M]ay I always hear that you are follow-ing the guidance of that blessed Spirit that will lead you into all truth leaning on that Almighty arm that has been extend-ed to deliver you trusting only in the only
Savior and go-ing on in your way to Him rejoic-ing
It is so important for the Body of Jesus Christ to
realize that we must handle the wealth of this world in order to reach this world The revival we are entering is of such a great magnitude that believers everywhere are going to be required to grow in all aspects in order to participate That will certainly mean financial growth
The prophet Haggai spoke of this revival of the nations
Yet once it is a while and I will shake the heavens and the earth and the sea and the dry land and I will shake all nations and the desire of all nations shall come and I will fill this house with glory saith the Lord of hosts The silver is mine and the gold is mine saith the Lord of hosts The glory of this latter house shall be greater than the former saith the Lord of hosts and in this place will I give peace saith the Lord of hosts (Hag 26-9)
God declares that His glory will be revealed in the nations In the middle of this prophecy He speaks of the silver and the gold being His It may first seem to be out of place but then you see that for the nations to be affected and for the glory of God to be revealed in the house of God the gold and silver must be moved out of the hands of the nations - the world - and into the hands of His nation the Church
There is a shifting of wealth ahead in the earth Wealth is to come into the hands of godly men and women who will bring glory to God with it The wealth of this earth is not here to satisfy the lusts and greed of the perverted It is here to bring the freedom of Jesus Christ to the na-tions It is to bring glory to God
If you will not be afraid of the responsibil-ity of wealth God will show you how to increase in a greater measure
Too many people have put the responsi-bility for their development and advance-ment in the hands of God when He has clearly put it in their hands
Galatians 67 says it this way ldquoA manrsquos harvest in life will depend entirely on what he sowsrdquo (Phillips)
The context of this verse is the money given to those who teach the Word of God You establish your own harvest by your giving to Godrsquos work
In Galatians 68 Paul says ldquoFor he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption but he that soweth

to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlastingrdquo
Certainly this verse reaches beyond the financial realm But the context is regarding giving Our giving and honoring God with tithes and offerings is sowing to the spirit Your money reaches into the spirit realm
You can see this is in the words of the angel of the Lord sent to Cornelius who had hon-ored God
There was a certain man in Caesarea called Cornelius a centurion of the band called the Italian band a devout man and one that feared God with all his house which gave much alms to the people and prayed to God always He saw in a vision evidently about the ninth hour of the day an angel of God coming in to him and saying unto him Cornelius And when he looked on him he was afraid and said What is it Lord And he said unto him Thy prayers and thine alms are come up for a memorial before God (Acts 101-4)
Here is a man hungry for the reality of God reaching out in the only way he knew He prayed and he gave The angel said that his praying and giving had built a memorial be-fore God He had entered into the spirit realm with prayer and giving The money he gave went up before God in the Spirit and became an evidence of his hunger and honor for God
His faith and hunger for God resulted in the Apostle Peter receiving a vision that commis-sioned him to bring the gospel to the Gentiles as well as to the Jews (Acts 109-48)
Your praying and giving in faith bring your needs into the presence of God It is the very evidence that you are looking to Him and not to your own ability to meet your needs or change your circumstances When you honor Him He will direct you and guide your steps
There is a final aspect of what your giving will do that I must include here In 2 Corinthians 9 the Holy Spirit through Paul summarizes this principle
He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully Ev-ery man according as he purposeth in his heart so let him give not grudgingly or of necessity for God loveth a cheerful giver And God is able to make all grace abound toward you that ye always having sufficiency in all things may abound to every good work (2 Cor 96-8)
Paul said that all grace would abound toward you The various aspects of grace that bring Godrsquos ability to you for any area of life will increase according to your giving and sowing into the kingdom of God
That puts the growth and advancement in your life within your influence Your will-ingness to honor God with your wealth and to reach out in faith to give brings you to a place of Godrsquos ability multiplying on your behalf
To say it once again Galatians 67 in the Phillips translation is the most powerful and clear summary of this entire subject ldquoA manrsquos harvest in life will depend entirely on what he sowsrdquo
Your harvest can change if you will choose to sow the right seeds Let Godrsquos grace for giving be multiplied in you

Three Things Dating is NotDating is not really a biblical word at all That doesnrsquot mean itrsquos wrong to go out with someone on a ldquodaterdquo But it is important to remember what the Bible has to say about develop-ing romantic friendships
If you begin dating without some clear guidelines and boundaries you are headed for disaster Take a quick glance at what dating is not
Dating is not for those who arenrsquot ready In my opinion dating shouldnrsquot even be a consideration until a young person is at least 16 years old
Thatrsquos been ldquothe Lawrdquo with my three teenage boys and theyrsquore doing just fine with it That doesnrsquot mean you canrsquot have good friendships with the opposite sex just keep things in a group environment
Dating is not a great way to ldquoreally get to know someonerdquo Why Be-cause everyone is on best behavior during a date
If you really want to get to know someone watch the person at school every day or both of you get a job together at McDonaldrsquos Eight straight hours over a hot greaser full of fries will tell you the real tale
Dating is not all itrsquos cracked up to be Think about two people out together who hardly know each other Theyrsquore young and have limited social skills They have to try to create awkward conversation for hours on end
The point is itrsquos usually a whole lot easier to get to know someone among a group of other friends who can help fill those awkward mo-ments keeping things fun

Following a meeting last week between leading Lebanese legislator Sarsquoad Hariri and Russian leaders
Hariri was quoted by Russian me-dia this weekend as saying Russia will sell heavy weaponry to Leba-non Previously Hariri said that he hoped Russia would help Leb-anon claim Mt Dov from Israel Russia is ex-pecting Lebanon to recognize the independence of the breakaway Georgian dis-tricts of Abkha-zia and South Ossetia
Hariri the son of the assassinat-ed popular former Prime Minister Rafik Hariri represents the West-ern-backed majority in the Leba-nese parliament Russia will ldquohelp the Lebanese armyrdquo the Vremia Novosti newspaper quoted Hariri as saying ldquowhich needs heavy weaponsrdquo such as tanks and artil-lery American military aid Hariri told Russian media only consists of light arms
Lebanese Defense Minister Elias Murr is to visit Moscow in coming weeks when the details of the arms deal will be finalized The Russian state arms export firm Rosobo-ronexport has been boycotted by the United States government for arms deals with Iran North Korea
and Syria
In early October Prime Minister Ehud Olmert met with Russian President Dmitry Medvedev and urged him not to approve the sale of weapons to Iran and Syria It was imperative he told the Russian leader to ldquopre-
vent weapons from Syria from reaching extrem-ist elements in Lebanon such as Hizbullahrdquo
Mt Dov and Ab-khazia-S Ossetia - Quid Pro Quo
Last week during an official visit to Moscow by Hariri
and other legislators Lebanese media strongly emphasized Haririrsquos expres-sion of his appreciation for Russiarsquos role in working towards an Israeli with-drawal from the Mt Dov area (called ldquoShabrsquoa Farmsrdquo in Lebanon) along the Israeli border with Lebanon A report published by the Beirut-based English-language Daily Star was en-titled ldquoHariri Looks to Russia to Help Liberate Shabrsquoa Farmsrdquo although the article itself did not present any direct quote on the matter from Lebanese or Russian officials
After his meeting with Hariri Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said that Rus-sia was against foreign interference in Lebanese domestic affairs It was not clear if he was referring to actions

RUSSIA TO SELL HEAVY ARMS TO LEBANON
Mike Huckabee wouldnrsquot rule out a 2012 run for president Wednesday but
he acknowledged it could be hard to take back the spotlight from fellow Republican Sarah Palin ldquoIrsquom not ruling anything out for the future but Irsquom not making any specific plansrdquo Huckabee told reporters at a briefing to promote his new book ldquoDo the Right Thingrdquo
ldquoItrsquos not something Irsquom sitting around thinking aboutrdquo
Huckabee a former Arkansas governor said he expects Palin
to continue to have a leading voice in the Republican Party though he acknowledged he was envious of
her meteoric rise after Sen John McCain brought her out of relative ob-scurity as gov-ernor of Alaska to run with him this year as the vice presiden-tial candidate
Huckabee credited Palin
with energizing McCainrsquos campaign and said that her surprise selec-tion for the GOP ticket helped her to ldquoleapfrog over the processrdquo that other Republicans _ including himself _ had to endure to become national political figures
ldquoIrsquom not frustrated by itrdquo Hucka-bee said ldquoItrsquos not a resentment on her part Itrsquos an envyrdquo
Huckabee plans to stay on the national political stage through his shows hersquoll host on Fox News Channel and ABC Radio
The former Arkansas governor ran a scrappy but underfunded presidential campaign this year staying in the race until March when McCain secured enough delegates to win the nomination All the other serious Republican contenders had dropped out weeks before
Huckabee ran as a religious conservative though many conservative leaders wouldnrsquot support him Despite a lack of money Huckabee won the leadoff caucuses in Iowa and seven other states His book tour will take him to Iowa later this month
Huckabee and McCain had a cordial relationship during the campaign but Huckabee clearly didnrsquot like former Massachusetts Gov Mitt Romney another con-tender for the GOP nomination
In his book Huckabee slams Romney for changing positions on issues such as abortion rights and gay marriage
ldquoHe spent more time on the road to Damascus than a Syrian camel driver And we thought nobody could fill John Kerryrsquos
flip-flopsrdquo Huckabee wrote
Romneyrsquos record he wrote ldquowas anything but conservative until he changed all the light-bulbs in his chandelier in time to run for presidentrdquo
A spokesman for Romney dis-missed Huckabeersquos comments in the book as ldquopetty stuffrdquo
ldquoWe need to focus on mov-ing the party forward with new ideasrdquo Romney spokesman Eric Fehrnstrom said ldquoUnfortu-nately Mike Huckabee seems more interested in settling scores than bringing people togetherrdquo
Huckabee said Wednesday he was simply writing with the same candor he showed dur-ing the campaign
ldquoThere was obvious tension and again it wasnrsquot just me but with other candidates and so I addressed where that came fromrdquo Huckabee said ldquoOne of the things people came to believe that they would get from me was can-dorrdquo
ldquoIf I had written this book and totally ignored some of the obvious issues that were there I think people would have said the book lacked credibility and candorrdquo he said

nuclear reactor
The documents were being shared with the 35 nations on the IAEArsquos board
On Syria the agency also said that soil samples taken from the bombed site had a ldquosignificant num-berrdquo of chemically processed natu-ral uranium particles A senior UN official who demanded anonymity because the information was restricted said the findings were unusual for a facility that Syria alleges had no nuclear purpose
The same official char-acterized UN attempts to elicit answers from Tehran on al-legations that it had drafted plans for nuclear weapons programs as at a standstill
The Syrian report said ldquoit cannot be excludedrdquo that the building de-stroyed in a remote stretch of the Syrian desert on Sept 6 2007 was ldquointended for non-nuclear userdquo
Still ldquothe features of the building are similar to what may be found in connection with a reactor siterdquo it said suggesting facilityrsquos size also fits that picture
The report took note of Syrian as-sertions that any uranium particles found at the site must have come from Israeli missiles that hit the building near the town of Al Kibar And it cited Damascus officials as saying the IAEA samples contained only a ldquovery limited numberrdquo of such particles
But the report spoke of a ldquosignificant
number of particlesrdquo found in the samples
The senior UN official said ldquothe onus of this investigation is on Syr-iardquo and noted that the traces were not of depleted uranium mdash the most commonly used variety of the met-al in ammunition meant to harden ordnance for increased penetra-
tion
Satellite imagery made public in the wake of the Israeli attack noted that the Syrians subsequent-ly removed substantial amounts of topsoil and entombed the building in concrete But the report also suggested similar activities at three other
Syrian sites of IAEA interest
ldquoAnalysis of satellite imagery taken of these locations indicates that landscaping activities and the re-moval of large containers took place shortly after the agencyrsquos re-quest for accessrdquo it said
Beyond one visit in June to the Al Kibar site Syria has refused IAEA requests to return to that location and examine the three other sites citing the need to protect its military secrets
In addition said the report ldquoSyria has not yet provided the requested documentationrdquo to back up its as-sertions that the bombed building was a non-nuclear military facility
Iran denies such plans saying it wants to enrich for a future large-scale civilian nuclear program But suspicions have been compounded by its monthslong refusal to answer IAEA questions based on US Is-

At that moment I knew I had a decision to make Do I act on the Word of God or by how I feel After hearing the Word of God I knew what the answer was to my situation But I still had a choice God was not go-ing to make me act on His Word
This is where you and I have to choose to live by His Word and not by our natural reasoning if we want to win Well Rory you may say if I knew what God was saying about my situation I would do it I just donrsquot know what God is saying about my situation
That is precisely what I am talking about here friend The only way we are ever go-ing to know what God is saying about our situations is if we are doing what Jesus commanded us to do in John chapter 15
When we learn to live in the Word then His Word will begin speaking to us

RUSSIA TO SELL HEAVY ARMS TO LEBANON
by Syria Israel or other foreign in-terventions
The Iran-controlled Lebanese ter-rorist organization Hizbullah in the meantime said recently that an Is-raeli withdrawal from Mt Dov would only be a start The group claims seven Arab villages in northern Is-rael are actually Lebanese In any event both Iran and Hizbullah have repeatedly made it clear that they do not believe Israel should exist at
all regardless of bor-der demarcations A Hizbullah spokesman said last week that the group would not give up it arms until Lebanon had another force capa-ble of confronting Israel
Touching on Lebanese policy towards matters in the Slavic states Hariri was quoted as saying that Lebanon may well recognize the indepen-dence of the breakaway Georgian districts of
South Ossetia and Abkhazia The Russian Vremya Novostei news-paper quoted Hariri as saying ldquoWe will fine tune contacts with South Ossetia and Abkhazia now For example delegations of Lebanese businessmen will be leaving for there soonrdquo Russia has backed the secession of the regions from Georgia including launching a war in their defense in August of this year
In his last Thanksgiving as the Commander in Chief Tuesday President Bush thanked US
troops for a ldquojob well donerdquo noting that even though thousands of soldiers are returning home the war is not yet over
During his visit to Fort Campbell Ky Bush offered comfort for troops coming back home and for those who are pre-paring to deploy again In November alone more than 10000 soldiers had returned to the military base most of them from Iraq
In recent weeks this post has been the scene of heart-warming family reunionsrdquo he said ldquoMany of you have recently finished deployments to Iraq You performed with cour-age and distinction on the front lines of the war on terror You have returned on successrdquo
Still the President warned that ldquothe war in Iraq is not overrdquo and
stressed the importance of victory in the country
ldquoSuccess will frustrate Iranrsquos ambi-tions to dominate the region Suc-cess will show millions across the Middle East that a future of liberty and
democracy is possible Suc-cess will deny al-Qaeda a safe haven for launching new attacksrdquo Bush said ldquoSuccess in Iraq will mean that the Ameri-can people are more secure at homerdquo
Over the next few weeks the White House says 3000 soldiers from the 101st Airborne will deploy to Afghani-stan while 450 will be sent to Iraq In January another 1200 will be de-ployed to Iraq from Fort Campbell
Bush called the work of the troops ldquohistoricalrdquo and and said he expected their efforts in Iraq will resonate far beyond the country and into history books

A tremendous pyramid of evidence for design and recent cre-ation is available for detailed study
Romans 120 states ldquoFor the invisible things of him from the creation are clearly seen being understood by the things that are made even his eternal power and Godhead so that they are without excuserdquo1 Human Artifacts throughout the Geologic ColumnMan-made artifacts - such as the hammer in Cretaceous rock a human sandal print with trilobite in Cambrian rock human foot-prints and a handprint in Cretaceous rock ndash point to the fact that all the supposed geologic periods actually occurred at the same time in the recent past11
2 Helium Content in Earthrsquos Atmosphere Physicist Melvin Cook found that helium-4 enters our atmosphere from solar wind and radioactive decay of uranium At present rates our at-mosphere would accumulate current helium-4 amounts in less than 10000 years12
3 Expansion of Space FabricAstronomical estimates of the distance to various galaxies gives conflicting data13 The Bibli-cal Record refers to the expansion of space by the Creator14 Astrophysicist Russell Humphries demonstrates that such space expansion would dilate time in distant space15 This could explain a recent creation with great distances to the stars
4 Design in Living SystemsA living cell is so awesomely complex that its interdependent components stagger the imagi-nation and defy evolutionary explanations A minimal cell con-tains over 60000 proteins of 100 different configurations16 The chance of this assemblage occurring by chance is 1 in 10 4478296 17
5 Design in the Human BrainThe human brain is the most complicated structure in the known universe18 It contains over 100 billion cells each with over 50000 neuron connections to other brain cells19 This structure receives over 100 million separate signals from the total human body every second If we learned something new every second of our lives it would take three million years to exhaust the capacity of the human brain 20 In addition to conscious thought people can actually reason anticipate consequences and devise plans - all without know-ing they are doing so21

Fugitive terrorist Osama bin Laden is planning new attacks against the US that will ldquooutdo by farrdquo the attacks of 911
according to a report in a London-based Arabic newspaper
The paper Al-Quds Al-Arabi quotes a former senior Yemeni al-Qaida official saying the terror group is now in a ldquopositive phaserdquo of staff-ing and rebuilding training camps around the globe The action will lead to the next ldquowave of actionrdquo against the US the paper reported
ldquoThis will be shown by the fact that we now control a major part of the south of Somaliardquo the Yemeni source told the paper
According to the report bin Laden is personally involved in the preparations and is looking to ldquochange the face of world politics and econom-icsrdquo
The paper is edited by Abdel al-Bari Atwan the last journalist to interview bin Laden in 1996The Yemeni operative says he remains in contact with current al-Qaida chiefs He claims
BIN LADEN PLANS NEW ATTACKS BIGGER THAN 911
GOODYEAR
bin Laden sent a message to all jihad cells in the Arab world six months ago urging them not to interact with their governments or local political parties
More signs of al-Qaidarsquos violent intentions are expected over the next few days the paper reported
The al-Qaida warning comes just one day after The Telegraph newspaper published a leaked government report showing thousands of extremists are active in the UK The document says the operatives are mostly native Brits between 18 and 30 Many have been trained in overseas terrorist camps
Security officials warned that al-Qaida will attempt another ldquospectacularrdquo in the UK likely focused on airports or train stations The Telegraph reported Other potential targets include the Houses of Parliament and Whitehall Buckingham and St Jamesrsquo palaces
MIRACLErsquo TURNAROUND IN DELAWARE EUTHANASIA CASE
The Al-liance Defense
Fund has reached a favorable settlement in a lawsuit that pit-ted a divorced father and mother against
each another over whether their 24-year-old daughter should live
Lauren Richardson sustained a severe brain injury in August 2006 according to an Alli-ance Defense Fund (ADF) press release The doctors then declared she would be in a ldquopersistent vegetative staterdquo ADF attorney Matt Bowman tells OneNews-Now Laurenrsquos mother was fighting to have Laurenrsquos feeding tube and water discontin-ued but she had a change of heart ldquoThe
miracle in Lauren Richardsonrsquos case is that both of her parents came to realize that life should be protectedrdquo he explains ldquoItrsquos inherently valuable and just because Lauren has a severe disability doesnrsquot mean that her life is not valuablerdquo
Laurenrsquos mother became a born-again Christian and visited her daughter at her hospital facility which Bowman believes was quite eye-opening ldquoAnd then an amazing thing happenedrdquo he notes ldquoShe told Lauren that Lauren would be cared for and Lauren started crying and they cried together and she realized that her daughter was really there and was really respondingrdquo Lauren was also responding to pain music family membersrsquo voices touch and assisted exercise The parents have agreed to settle the case and share joint guardianship of Lauren

ldquoI think the President-elect is getting the message that the market is worried that if you wait too long the economy will have fallen too far to really recoverrdquo he said
But the costs will be staggering Bloom-berg News estimates that just the plans laid out so far could cost $77 trillion The deficit in 2009 alone might well hit $1 tril-lion
Lending Creditors a Hand
And the Treasury has thrown in another twist using some of the $700 billion Con-gress has already okrsquod for a new purpose - to help lenders finance credit card auto and student loans
In a surprise move today to help the ailing housing industry the Fed said it will buy up to $600 billion in mortgage-backed assets
And after pumping $20 billion more into flail-ing Citigroup President George Bush let it be known that even more rescue packages may well be on the way
ldquoAnd if need be wersquore going to make these kind of decisions to safeguard our financial system in the futurerdquo Bush said
Defending all the billions for bailouts the President says hersquos been warned the econ-omy could spiral into a downturn even worse than the Great Depression unless govern-ment acts aggressively
The Citigroup Controversy
But people are divided about rescuing fi-nanciers like Citigroup whorsquove made bad investments but are so vital to the eco-nomic system
ldquoPeople know whatrsquos going on right now nothing looking good on the whole economic side so I think we need to go ahead a bail them out I donrsquot know where it stops I donrsquot know where it ends but Citigrouprsquos a big grouprdquo said Vox-poprsquos Ed Trainor
But Voxpoprsquos Sally Brandon said ldquoI would let them go I mean bad management again is the reason why theyrsquore in this position and therersquos not enough protection for the general publicrdquo

A major medical breakthrough involving adult stem cells has occurred in Spain
Medical researchers in Spain replaced 30-year-old Claudia Castillorsquos windpipe by grow-ing her own stem cells in the shape of the damaged body part and her body has not rejected it According to The Independent Castillorsquos bout with tuberculosis left her with a collapsed lung and unable to breathe or do many daily activities such as look after and play with her two children
Dr Robert Scheidt is with the Christian Medical amp Dental Associations (CMDA) and applauds the so-called ldquonew age in surgi-cal carerdquo ldquoI just canrsquot get over the marvel of recreating an organ -- and an organ thatrsquos compatible because it uses the patientrsquos original DNA and tissues -- and it worksrdquo he notes
This accomplishment according to Scheidt is just another reason why research on hu-man embryos will not work while adult stem cells are already successful ldquoWe found out that stem cells have a peculiar property that
if theyrsquore placed in an organ -- it can be one of several organs -- they assume the identity of the organ into which they are placed and then start to work accordinglyrdquo he explains
Castillo is also the first patient to receive a whole organ transplant without needing to take strong immunosuppressant drugs to aid in the bodyrsquos adjustment Dr Scheidt believes the success brings healthcare officials closer to recreating and transplant-ing organs such as the heart and liver
ldquoI can envision a day that we could replen-ish the body with substitute parts that are not harvested from another body but are grown from our own stem cellsrdquo he con-cludes

PASTORS CORNER
In May of 2006 I was praying to the Lord one evening amp the Lord gave me some specific instructions He
said ldquoTeach my people how to live ac-cording to My Wordrdquo I responded by asking Him what He meant by that
He said ldquoMost of My children do not know what it means to live by My Word As a result they are being destroyedrdquo He went on to discuss some other things with me that night As I sat and listened to Him I realized that this is the message that needs to be taught to the Church in these last days That night I committed to the Lord that I would take this message to the world
So in May of 2006 I began ministering on how to live your life by the Word of Godin our services As a result we have had some powerful meetings Great healings and salvations have occurred as well
What the Lord is about to reveal to the body of Christ over the com-ing months is going to literally transform us from living like mere unchanged men into a liberating domi-nating force in the earth today
Several years ago the Lord ask me a ques-tion ldquoAre My Words abiding in yourdquo I had such a desire to for more of God that I was crying out to Him ldquoLord I want to know you morerdquo I recognized the voice of the Holy Spirit asking me that question ldquoAre My Words abiding in yourdquo Then almost immediately before I could say anything He responded with a command ldquoAbide in My Word and you will have that intense relationship that you are seekingrdquo
I began weeping That question changed my life forever In John 15347 we read where Jesus declares
ldquoNow ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you Abide in me and I in you As the branch can-not bear fruit of itself except it abide in me If ye abide in me and my words abide in you ye shall ask what ye will and it shall be done unto yourdquo
The Word ldquoabiderdquo in John chapter 15 is our focus today When Jesus told us to obey His commandments and keep His Word He wasnrsquot just telling us to follow a bunch of religious rules and regulations
He was telling us to allow His Word - which is alive and full of creative power (Hebrews 412) to make its home within our hearts
He was telling us to spend time with it to meditate on it to fill our minds and our mouths with it To let His Word dominate our beliefs control our thoughts and guide our very actions
The Apostle Paul put it this way ldquoLet the Word of Christ dwell in you richlyhelliprdquo Co-lossians 316 Most believers donrsquot have any idea what this means We cry out for more of God yet we have no idea how to receive that request
John 11 tells us ldquoIn the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was Godrdquo
We need to come to the understanding that God and His Word are one and the
same God is His Word and His Word is God If we want more of God than we need more of His Word
Yet when we cry out for answers we miss it We try to receive from God and or experience Him outside of His Word We try to receive from God through our senses
Thatrsquos one of the reasons some Christians fall short in ex-
periencing the power of God in their lives When we spend time abiding in His Word we are literally spending time in the pres-ence of God And according to Habakkuk 34 His presence is the hiding place of His power
Oral Roberts once said that ldquoWhen the Word is really abiding in you when its alive and producing like it should you can hear the Word talking to yourdquo We all know what itrsquos like when we get a song stuck in our mind We just keep hearing it over and over again
Well its much the same way when we start abiding in the Word of God We will hear the Word over and over in our hearts speak-ing to us Many times when I wake up in the morning I will have a song on my heart a praise song to my Lord But there are also times when I wake up in the morning and all I hear is the Word of God speaking to me
There have been times when Irsquove been in a desperate situation wondering what I was going to do when suddenly Irsquod hear a scrip-

PRO-LIFERS EMBOLDENED DESPITE DEATH THREATS
A leading pro-life Christian activist organization has re-ceived another death threat
After the presidential election concluded Operation Rescue received a death threat through its website In a press release president Troy Newman attributes the threat to an abortion supporter emboldened by Barack Obamarsquos presidential victory
Newman notes the only surprise was the vicious-ness of the remarks ldquoOperation Rescue is not new to these sorts of threatsrdquo he explains ldquoWersquove been anthraxed if you will from a fake anthrax hoax Wersquove had our buildings and trucks vandalized Irsquove had guns shoved in my facerdquo
He contends pro-abortion forces will only grow stronger in an Obama administra-tion believing they can ldquoharm pro-lifers and get away with itrdquo The website threat reads that ldquoany act of lsquoanti-abortion ter-rorrsquo would be lsquoANSWERED IN KIND BY PRO-CHOICE COUNTERTERRORISTS
who will mount violent attacks against right-to-lifersrsquordquo (Emphasis by pro-abor-tionist)
According to Newman the threats will make no difference in Operation
Rescuersquos mission adding that it should not deter any Christian of a like mind ldquoGod has not given us a spirit of fear but a spirit of boldness and we need to continue to plead on behalf of those who have no voice -- and thatrsquos what Opera-
tion Rescue is going to continue to dordquo he points out ldquoWe refuse to be intimi-dated by those who dislike the pro-life messagerdquo
Newman plans to continue to implement Operation Rescuersquos history of ldquopeaceful pro-life activismrdquo even in the face of ldquopro-abortion bullying and intimidationrdquo He cites Proverbs 2411 which says believers are to rescue those who are being taken away to death and hold back those who are stumbling to the slaughter
lsquoELDERLY PROP 8 SUPPORTER ROUGHED UP FILING CHARGES
An elderly California woman will file charges against homosexuals who attacked her during a protest
against the passage of Proposition 8
Last Friday evening homosexual activ-ists and their supporters gathered at the Palm Springs City Hall protesting voter approved Prop 8 which defines mar-riage as between a man and a woman Phyllis Burgess went to the rally and car-ried a Styrofoam cross through the crowd
As ABC affiliate KESQ-TV carried that rally live homosexuals surrounded the 69-year-old woman began pushing her reportedly spit on her and grabbed the cross from her arms and threw it on the ground
Burgess remained calm throughout the melee ldquoI was really so overflowing with peacefulness in my heart that I just couldnrsquot see thisrdquo she says ldquoIt wasnrsquot in my mind it really wasnrsquotrdquoInitially Burgess said she did not want to file charges but changed her mind after authorities encouraged her to do so She says she went to the rally ldquojust to get my remarks across at my city hall where I have lived for 30 yearsrdquo She adds ldquoIf it takes endangerment should that stop me Irsquom a senior -- we respect elder abuse in this cityrdquo
Police are reviewing video in hopes of iden-tifying suspects Charges would be assault and vandalism both misdemeanors
The lsquotrue facersquo of opponentsRandy Thomasson of the Campaign for Children and Families says the attack on Burgess is one of many incidents in Cali-fornia directed at supporters of traditional marriage He notes that among the rage and shouting displayed at the rally protestors also used the ldquon-wordrdquo against black people
Thomasson equates their behavior with a toddlerrsquos temper tantrum saying that homosexuals are demonstrat-ing their deep intolerance for not only people who believe
real marriage exists between a man and a woman but also for people of faith and color
ldquoAmerica needs to see the true face of the homosexual activists who are intolerant against people of faith and anyone who be-lieves in real marriage between a man and a womanrdquo he contends
According to Thomasson the peaceful marches of Dr Martin Luther King Jr are drastically different than the recent violent displays mainly because King was seeking natural civil rights and homosexuals are demanding public endorsement of their ldquoun-natural sexual behaviorrdquo

If and then IF you put God first THEN He will crown you with success
ldquoJust exactly how do I put God firstrdquo you might ask Well you can start with saying ldquoGood morning Lordrdquo when you wake up each morning You can talk to God and ask
Him to guide your day and ask the Holy Spirit to remind you of Jesus throughout the day
You can ask God to help you make right choices Try to make it a habit to think of God during the day just as you might think of a best friend Jesus is your friend isnrsquot He
Put God first and just see how good your day really can be Godrsquos Word works
ldquoIn everything you do put God first and He will crown your efforts with successrdquo (Proverbs 36)
With my four children - all two years apart in age - we have a very busy
home especially when we have to get ready for school and church in the mornings
On school mornings the kids drag out of bed hurry to get dressed and brush their teeth gobble down a bowl of cereal get their lunch and backpack ready and finally out the door they go Does it ever happen like that at your houseI
But wait a minute we forgot something - or Someone What about God In our rush to get out the door did we even think about God Did we even think to talk and acknowledge Him As our Bible verse says today ldquoIF you want God to crown you with success -
success is everything that is good - THEN you have to put Him firstrdquo

Mercy and grace and favor did come by Jesus Christ and also that truth which verified the promises and predictions concerning Him and which exposed and corrected the various errors which had been imbibed respecting the Supreme Being His attributes laws and dispensa-tions
By conveying the Bible to people we certainly do them a most interesting act of kindness We thereby enable them to learn that man was originally created and placed in a state of happiness but be-
coming disobedient was subjected to the degradation and evils which he and his posterity have since experienced The Bi-ble will also inform them that our gracious Creator has provided for us a Redeemer in whom all the nations of the earth should be blessed ndash that this Redeemer has made atonement ldquofor the sins of the whole worldrdquo and thereby reconciling the Divine justice with the Divine mercy has opened a way for our redemption and salvation and that these inestimable ben-efits are of the free gift and grace of God not of our deserving nor in our power to deserve The Bible will also [encourage] them with many explicit and consoling as-surances of the Divine mercy to our fallen race and with repeated invitations to accept the offers of pardon and reconcili-ation They therefore who enlist in His service have the highest encourage-ment to fulfill the dunotties assigned to their respective stations for most certain it is that those of His followers who [partici-
pate in] His conquests will also participate in the trannotscendent glories and blessings of His Triumph
I recommend a general and public return of praise and thanksgiving to Him from whose goodness these blessings descend The most effectual means of securing the continuance of our civil and religious liberties is always to remember with reverence and gratitude the source from which they flow
The Bible is the best of all books for it is the word of God and teaches us the way to be happy in this world and in the next Continue therefore to read it and to regulate your life by its precepts
[T]he evidence of the truth of Christianity requires only to be carefully examined to produce conviction in candid minds they who undertake that task will derive advan-tages
Providence has given to our people the choice of their rulers and it is the duty as well as the privilege and interest of our Christian nation to select and prefer Chris-tians for their rulers
THOMAS JEFFERSONSIGNER OF THE DECLARATION OF INDE-PENDENCE DIPLOMAT GOVERNOR OF VIRGINIA SECRETARY OF STATE THIRD PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES
The doctrines of Jesus are simple and tend all to the happiness of man
The practice of morality being necessary for the well being of society He [God] has taken care to impress its precepts so indelibly on our hearts that they shall not be effaced by the subtleties of our brain We all agree in the obligation of the moral principles of Jesus and nowhere will they be found deliv-ered in greater purity than in His discourses
I am a Christian in the only sense in which He wished anyone to be sincerely attached to His doctrines in preference to all others
I am a real Christian ndash that is to say a dis-
ciple of the doctrines of Jesus Christ
JAMES KENTJUDGE LAW PROFESSOR ldquoFATHER OF AMERICAN JURISPRUDENCErdquo
My children I wish to talk to you During my early and middle life I was perhaps rather skeptical with regard to some of the truths of Christianity Not that I did not have the utmost respect for religion and always read my Bible but the doc-trine of the atonement was one I never could understand and I felt inclined to consider as impossible to be received in the way Divines taught it I believe I was rather inclined to Unitarianism but of late years my views have altered I believe in the doctrines of the prayer books as I understand them and hope to be saved through the merits of Jesus Christ My object in telling you this is that if anything happens to me you might know and perhaps it would console you to remember that on this point my mind is clear I rest my hopes of salvation on the Lord Jesus Christ
FRANCIS SCOTT KEYU S ATTORNEY FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA AUTHOR OF THE ldquoSTAR SPANGLED BANNERrdquo
[M]ay I always hear that you are follow-ing the guidance of that blessed Spirit that will lead you into all truth leaning on that Almighty arm that has been extend-ed to deliver you trusting only in the only
Savior and go-ing on in your way to Him rejoic-ing
It is so important for the Body of Jesus Christ to
realize that we must handle the wealth of this world in order to reach this world The revival we are entering is of such a great magnitude that believers everywhere are going to be required to grow in all aspects in order to participate That will certainly mean financial growth
The prophet Haggai spoke of this revival of the nations
Yet once it is a while and I will shake the heavens and the earth and the sea and the dry land and I will shake all nations and the desire of all nations shall come and I will fill this house with glory saith the Lord of hosts The silver is mine and the gold is mine saith the Lord of hosts The glory of this latter house shall be greater than the former saith the Lord of hosts and in this place will I give peace saith the Lord of hosts (Hag 26-9)
God declares that His glory will be revealed in the nations In the middle of this prophecy He speaks of the silver and the gold being His It may first seem to be out of place but then you see that for the nations to be affected and for the glory of God to be revealed in the house of God the gold and silver must be moved out of the hands of the nations - the world - and into the hands of His nation the Church
There is a shifting of wealth ahead in the earth Wealth is to come into the hands of godly men and women who will bring glory to God with it The wealth of this earth is not here to satisfy the lusts and greed of the perverted It is here to bring the freedom of Jesus Christ to the na-tions It is to bring glory to God
If you will not be afraid of the responsibil-ity of wealth God will show you how to increase in a greater measure
Too many people have put the responsi-bility for their development and advance-ment in the hands of God when He has clearly put it in their hands
Galatians 67 says it this way ldquoA manrsquos harvest in life will depend entirely on what he sowsrdquo (Phillips)
The context of this verse is the money given to those who teach the Word of God You establish your own harvest by your giving to Godrsquos work
In Galatians 68 Paul says ldquoFor he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption but he that soweth

to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlastingrdquo
Certainly this verse reaches beyond the financial realm But the context is regarding giving Our giving and honoring God with tithes and offerings is sowing to the spirit Your money reaches into the spirit realm
You can see this is in the words of the angel of the Lord sent to Cornelius who had hon-ored God
There was a certain man in Caesarea called Cornelius a centurion of the band called the Italian band a devout man and one that feared God with all his house which gave much alms to the people and prayed to God always He saw in a vision evidently about the ninth hour of the day an angel of God coming in to him and saying unto him Cornelius And when he looked on him he was afraid and said What is it Lord And he said unto him Thy prayers and thine alms are come up for a memorial before God (Acts 101-4)
Here is a man hungry for the reality of God reaching out in the only way he knew He prayed and he gave The angel said that his praying and giving had built a memorial be-fore God He had entered into the spirit realm with prayer and giving The money he gave went up before God in the Spirit and became an evidence of his hunger and honor for God
His faith and hunger for God resulted in the Apostle Peter receiving a vision that commis-sioned him to bring the gospel to the Gentiles as well as to the Jews (Acts 109-48)
Your praying and giving in faith bring your needs into the presence of God It is the very evidence that you are looking to Him and not to your own ability to meet your needs or change your circumstances When you honor Him He will direct you and guide your steps
There is a final aspect of what your giving will do that I must include here In 2 Corinthians 9 the Holy Spirit through Paul summarizes this principle
He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully Ev-ery man according as he purposeth in his heart so let him give not grudgingly or of necessity for God loveth a cheerful giver And God is able to make all grace abound toward you that ye always having sufficiency in all things may abound to every good work (2 Cor 96-8)
Paul said that all grace would abound toward you The various aspects of grace that bring Godrsquos ability to you for any area of life will increase according to your giving and sowing into the kingdom of God
That puts the growth and advancement in your life within your influence Your will-ingness to honor God with your wealth and to reach out in faith to give brings you to a place of Godrsquos ability multiplying on your behalf
To say it once again Galatians 67 in the Phillips translation is the most powerful and clear summary of this entire subject ldquoA manrsquos harvest in life will depend entirely on what he sowsrdquo
Your harvest can change if you will choose to sow the right seeds Let Godrsquos grace for giving be multiplied in you

Three Things Dating is NotDating is not really a biblical word at all That doesnrsquot mean itrsquos wrong to go out with someone on a ldquodaterdquo But it is important to remember what the Bible has to say about develop-ing romantic friendships
If you begin dating without some clear guidelines and boundaries you are headed for disaster Take a quick glance at what dating is not
Dating is not for those who arenrsquot ready In my opinion dating shouldnrsquot even be a consideration until a young person is at least 16 years old
Thatrsquos been ldquothe Lawrdquo with my three teenage boys and theyrsquore doing just fine with it That doesnrsquot mean you canrsquot have good friendships with the opposite sex just keep things in a group environment
Dating is not a great way to ldquoreally get to know someonerdquo Why Be-cause everyone is on best behavior during a date
If you really want to get to know someone watch the person at school every day or both of you get a job together at McDonaldrsquos Eight straight hours over a hot greaser full of fries will tell you the real tale
Dating is not all itrsquos cracked up to be Think about two people out together who hardly know each other Theyrsquore young and have limited social skills They have to try to create awkward conversation for hours on end
The point is itrsquos usually a whole lot easier to get to know someone among a group of other friends who can help fill those awkward mo-ments keeping things fun

Following a meeting last week between leading Lebanese legislator Sarsquoad Hariri and Russian leaders
Hariri was quoted by Russian me-dia this weekend as saying Russia will sell heavy weaponry to Leba-non Previously Hariri said that he hoped Russia would help Leb-anon claim Mt Dov from Israel Russia is ex-pecting Lebanon to recognize the independence of the breakaway Georgian dis-tricts of Abkha-zia and South Ossetia
Hariri the son of the assassinat-ed popular former Prime Minister Rafik Hariri represents the West-ern-backed majority in the Leba-nese parliament Russia will ldquohelp the Lebanese armyrdquo the Vremia Novosti newspaper quoted Hariri as saying ldquowhich needs heavy weaponsrdquo such as tanks and artil-lery American military aid Hariri told Russian media only consists of light arms
Lebanese Defense Minister Elias Murr is to visit Moscow in coming weeks when the details of the arms deal will be finalized The Russian state arms export firm Rosobo-ronexport has been boycotted by the United States government for arms deals with Iran North Korea
and Syria
In early October Prime Minister Ehud Olmert met with Russian President Dmitry Medvedev and urged him not to approve the sale of weapons to Iran and Syria It was imperative he told the Russian leader to ldquopre-
vent weapons from Syria from reaching extrem-ist elements in Lebanon such as Hizbullahrdquo
Mt Dov and Ab-khazia-S Ossetia - Quid Pro Quo
Last week during an official visit to Moscow by Hariri
and other legislators Lebanese media strongly emphasized Haririrsquos expres-sion of his appreciation for Russiarsquos role in working towards an Israeli with-drawal from the Mt Dov area (called ldquoShabrsquoa Farmsrdquo in Lebanon) along the Israeli border with Lebanon A report published by the Beirut-based English-language Daily Star was en-titled ldquoHariri Looks to Russia to Help Liberate Shabrsquoa Farmsrdquo although the article itself did not present any direct quote on the matter from Lebanese or Russian officials
After his meeting with Hariri Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said that Rus-sia was against foreign interference in Lebanese domestic affairs It was not clear if he was referring to actions

RUSSIA TO SELL HEAVY ARMS TO LEBANON
Mike Huckabee wouldnrsquot rule out a 2012 run for president Wednesday but
he acknowledged it could be hard to take back the spotlight from fellow Republican Sarah Palin ldquoIrsquom not ruling anything out for the future but Irsquom not making any specific plansrdquo Huckabee told reporters at a briefing to promote his new book ldquoDo the Right Thingrdquo
ldquoItrsquos not something Irsquom sitting around thinking aboutrdquo
Huckabee a former Arkansas governor said he expects Palin
to continue to have a leading voice in the Republican Party though he acknowledged he was envious of
her meteoric rise after Sen John McCain brought her out of relative ob-scurity as gov-ernor of Alaska to run with him this year as the vice presiden-tial candidate
Huckabee credited Palin
with energizing McCainrsquos campaign and said that her surprise selec-tion for the GOP ticket helped her to ldquoleapfrog over the processrdquo that other Republicans _ including himself _ had to endure to become national political figures
ldquoIrsquom not frustrated by itrdquo Hucka-bee said ldquoItrsquos not a resentment on her part Itrsquos an envyrdquo
Huckabee plans to stay on the national political stage through his shows hersquoll host on Fox News Channel and ABC Radio
The former Arkansas governor ran a scrappy but underfunded presidential campaign this year staying in the race until March when McCain secured enough delegates to win the nomination All the other serious Republican contenders had dropped out weeks before
Huckabee ran as a religious conservative though many conservative leaders wouldnrsquot support him Despite a lack of money Huckabee won the leadoff caucuses in Iowa and seven other states His book tour will take him to Iowa later this month
Huckabee and McCain had a cordial relationship during the campaign but Huckabee clearly didnrsquot like former Massachusetts Gov Mitt Romney another con-tender for the GOP nomination
In his book Huckabee slams Romney for changing positions on issues such as abortion rights and gay marriage
ldquoHe spent more time on the road to Damascus than a Syrian camel driver And we thought nobody could fill John Kerryrsquos
flip-flopsrdquo Huckabee wrote
Romneyrsquos record he wrote ldquowas anything but conservative until he changed all the light-bulbs in his chandelier in time to run for presidentrdquo
A spokesman for Romney dis-missed Huckabeersquos comments in the book as ldquopetty stuffrdquo
ldquoWe need to focus on mov-ing the party forward with new ideasrdquo Romney spokesman Eric Fehrnstrom said ldquoUnfortu-nately Mike Huckabee seems more interested in settling scores than bringing people togetherrdquo
Huckabee said Wednesday he was simply writing with the same candor he showed dur-ing the campaign
ldquoThere was obvious tension and again it wasnrsquot just me but with other candidates and so I addressed where that came fromrdquo Huckabee said ldquoOne of the things people came to believe that they would get from me was can-dorrdquo
ldquoIf I had written this book and totally ignored some of the obvious issues that were there I think people would have said the book lacked credibility and candorrdquo he said

The same official char-acterized UN attempts to elicit answers from Tehran on al-legations that it had drafted plans for nuclear weapons programs as at a standstill
The Syrian report said ldquoit cannot be excludedrdquo that the building de-stroyed in a remote stretch of the Syrian desert on Sept 6 2007 was ldquointended for non-nuclear userdquo
Still ldquothe features of the building are similar to what may be found in connection with a reactor siterdquo it said suggesting facilityrsquos size also fits that picture
The report took note of Syrian as-sertions that any uranium particles found at the site must have come from Israeli missiles that hit the building near the town of Al Kibar And it cited Damascus officials as saying the IAEA samples contained only a ldquovery limited numberrdquo of such particles
But the report spoke of a ldquosignificant
number of particlesrdquo found in the samples
The senior UN official said ldquothe onus of this investigation is on Syr-iardquo and noted that the traces were not of depleted uranium mdash the most commonly used variety of the met-al in ammunition meant to harden ordnance for increased penetra-
tion
Satellite imagery made public in the wake of the Israeli attack noted that the Syrians subsequent-ly removed substantial amounts of topsoil and entombed the building in concrete But the report also suggested similar activities at three other
Syrian sites of IAEA interest
ldquoAnalysis of satellite imagery taken of these locations indicates that landscaping activities and the re-moval of large containers took place shortly after the agencyrsquos re-quest for accessrdquo it said
Beyond one visit in June to the Al Kibar site Syria has refused IAEA requests to return to that location and examine the three other sites citing the need to protect its military secrets
In addition said the report ldquoSyria has not yet provided the requested documentationrdquo to back up its as-sertions that the bombed building was a non-nuclear military facility
Iran denies such plans saying it wants to enrich for a future large-scale civilian nuclear program But suspicions have been compounded by its monthslong refusal to answer IAEA questions based on US Is-

ture down on the inside of me The still small voice of the Holy Spirit would be speaking the living Word of God to my heart
At that moment I knew I had a decision to make Do I act on the Word of God or by how I feel After hearing the Word of God I knew what the answer was to my situation But I still had a choice God was not go-ing to make me act on His Word
This is where you and I have to choose to live by His Word and not by our natural reasoning if we want to win Well Rory you may say if I knew what God was saying about my situation I would do it I just donrsquot know what God is saying about my situation
That is precisely what I am talking about here friend The only way we are ever go-ing to know what God is saying about our situations is if we are doing what Jesus commanded us to do in John chapter 15
When we learn to live in the Word then His Word will begin speaking to us
Jesus said ldquoAbide live or dwell in My Word Then ask what you will and it shall be donerdquo
Start abiding in His Word Be obedient to every Word
that the Holy Spirit brings to your mind Make the quality decision to live your life by the Word of God and youll start experienc-ing more of His liberating presence in your life today

RUSSIA TO SELL HEAVY ARMS TO LEBANON
by Syria Israel or other foreign in-terventions
The Iran-controlled Lebanese ter-rorist organization Hizbullah in the meantime said recently that an Is-raeli withdrawal from Mt Dov would only be a start The group claims seven Arab villages in northern Is-rael are actually Lebanese In any event both Iran and Hizbullah have repeatedly made it clear that they do not believe Israel should exist at
all regardless of bor-der demarcations A Hizbullah spokesman said last week that the group would not give up it arms until Lebanon had another force capa-ble of confronting Israel
Touching on Lebanese policy towards matters in the Slavic states Hariri was quoted as saying that Lebanon may well recognize the indepen-dence of the breakaway Georgian districts of
South Ossetia and Abkhazia The Russian Vremya Novostei news-paper quoted Hariri as saying ldquoWe will fine tune contacts with South Ossetia and Abkhazia now For example delegations of Lebanese businessmen will be leaving for there soonrdquo Russia has backed the secession of the regions from Georgia including launching a war in their defense in August of this year
In his last Thanksgiving as the Commander in Chief Tuesday President Bush thanked US
troops for a ldquojob well donerdquo noting that even though thousands of soldiers are returning home the war is not yet over
During his visit to Fort Campbell Ky Bush offered comfort for troops coming back home and for those who are pre-paring to deploy again In November alone more than 10000 soldiers had returned to the military base most of them from Iraq
In recent weeks this post has been the scene of heart-warming family reunionsrdquo he said ldquoMany of you have recently finished deployments to Iraq You performed with cour-age and distinction on the front lines of the war on terror You have returned on successrdquo
Still the President warned that ldquothe war in Iraq is not overrdquo and
stressed the importance of victory in the country
ldquoSuccess will frustrate Iranrsquos ambi-tions to dominate the region Suc-cess will show millions across the Middle East that a future of liberty and
democracy is possible Suc-cess will deny al-Qaeda a safe haven for launching new attacksrdquo Bush said ldquoSuccess in Iraq will mean that the Ameri-can people are more secure at homerdquo
Over the next few weeks the White House says 3000 soldiers from the 101st Airborne will deploy to Afghani-stan while 450 will be sent to Iraq In January another 1200 will be de-ployed to Iraq from Fort Campbell
Bush called the work of the troops ldquohistoricalrdquo and and said he expected their efforts in Iraq will resonate far beyond the country and into history books

A tremendous pyramid of evidence for design and recent cre-ation is available for detailed study
Romans 120 states ldquoFor the invisible things of him from the creation are clearly seen being understood by the things that are made even his eternal power and Godhead so that they are without excuserdquo1 Human Artifacts throughout the Geologic ColumnMan-made artifacts - such as the hammer in Cretaceous rock a human sandal print with trilobite in Cambrian rock human foot-prints and a handprint in Cretaceous rock ndash point to the fact that all the supposed geologic periods actually occurred at the same time in the recent past11
2 Helium Content in Earthrsquos Atmosphere Physicist Melvin Cook found that helium-4 enters our atmosphere from solar wind and radioactive decay of uranium At present rates our at-mosphere would accumulate current helium-4 amounts in less than 10000 years12
3 Expansion of Space FabricAstronomical estimates of the distance to various galaxies gives conflicting data13 The Bibli-cal Record refers to the expansion of space by the Creator14 Astrophysicist Russell Humphries demonstrates that such space expansion would dilate time in distant space15 This could explain a recent creation with great distances to the stars
4 Design in Living SystemsA living cell is so awesomely complex that its interdependent components stagger the imagi-nation and defy evolutionary explanations A minimal cell con-tains over 60000 proteins of 100 different configurations16 The chance of this assemblage occurring by chance is 1 in 10 4478296 17
5 Design in the Human BrainThe human brain is the most complicated structure in the known universe18 It contains over 100 billion cells each with over 50000 neuron connections to other brain cells19 This structure receives over 100 million separate signals from the total human body every second If we learned something new every second of our lives it would take three million years to exhaust the capacity of the human brain 20 In addition to conscious thought people can actually reason anticipate consequences and devise plans - all without know-ing they are doing so21

Fugitive terrorist Osama bin Laden is planning new attacks against the US that will ldquooutdo by farrdquo the attacks of 911
according to a report in a London-based Arabic newspaper
The paper Al-Quds Al-Arabi quotes a former senior Yemeni al-Qaida official saying the terror group is now in a ldquopositive phaserdquo of staff-ing and rebuilding training camps around the globe The action will lead to the next ldquowave of actionrdquo against the US the paper reported
ldquoThis will be shown by the fact that we now control a major part of the south of Somaliardquo the Yemeni source told the paper
According to the report bin Laden is personally involved in the preparations and is looking to ldquochange the face of world politics and econom-icsrdquo
The paper is edited by Abdel al-Bari Atwan the last journalist to interview bin Laden in 1996The Yemeni operative says he remains in contact with current al-Qaida chiefs He claims
BIN LADEN PLANS NEW ATTACKS BIGGER THAN 911
GOODYEAR
bin Laden sent a message to all jihad cells in the Arab world six months ago urging them not to interact with their governments or local political parties
More signs of al-Qaidarsquos violent intentions are expected over the next few days the paper reported
The al-Qaida warning comes just one day after The Telegraph newspaper published a leaked government report showing thousands of extremists are active in the UK The document says the operatives are mostly native Brits between 18 and 30 Many have been trained in overseas terrorist camps
Security officials warned that al-Qaida will attempt another ldquospectacularrdquo in the UK likely focused on airports or train stations The Telegraph reported Other potential targets include the Houses of Parliament and Whitehall Buckingham and St Jamesrsquo palaces
MIRACLErsquo TURNAROUND IN DELAWARE EUTHANASIA CASE
The Al-liance Defense
Fund has reached a favorable settlement in a lawsuit that pit-ted a divorced father and mother against
each another over whether their 24-year-old daughter should live
Lauren Richardson sustained a severe brain injury in August 2006 according to an Alli-ance Defense Fund (ADF) press release The doctors then declared she would be in a ldquopersistent vegetative staterdquo ADF attorney Matt Bowman tells OneNews-Now Laurenrsquos mother was fighting to have Laurenrsquos feeding tube and water discontin-ued but she had a change of heart ldquoThe

Laurenrsquos mother became a born-again Christian and visited her daughter at her hospital facility which Bowman believes was quite eye-opening ldquoAnd then an amazing thing happenedrdquo he notes ldquoShe told Lauren that Lauren would be cared for and Lauren started crying and they cried together and she realized that her daughter was really there and was really respondingrdquo Lauren was also responding to pain music family membersrsquo voices touch and assisted exercise The parents have agreed to settle the case and share joint guardianship of Lauren

ldquoI think the President-elect is getting the message that the market is worried that if you wait too long the economy will have fallen too far to really recoverrdquo he said
But the costs will be staggering Bloom-berg News estimates that just the plans laid out so far could cost $77 trillion The deficit in 2009 alone might well hit $1 tril-lion
Lending Creditors a Hand
And the Treasury has thrown in another twist using some of the $700 billion Con-gress has already okrsquod for a new purpose - to help lenders finance credit card auto and student loans
In a surprise move today to help the ailing housing industry the Fed said it will buy up to $600 billion in mortgage-backed assets
And after pumping $20 billion more into flail-ing Citigroup President George Bush let it be known that even more rescue packages may well be on the way
ldquoAnd if need be wersquore going to make these kind of decisions to safeguard our financial system in the futurerdquo Bush said
Defending all the billions for bailouts the President says hersquos been warned the econ-omy could spiral into a downturn even worse than the Great Depression unless govern-ment acts aggressively

But people are divided about rescuing fi-nanciers like Citigroup whorsquove made bad investments but are so vital to the eco-nomic system

A major medical breakthrough involving adult stem cells has occurred in Spain
Medical researchers in Spain replaced 30-year-old Claudia Castillorsquos windpipe by grow-ing her own stem cells in the shape of the damaged body part and her body has not rejected it According to The Independent Castillorsquos bout with tuberculosis left her with a collapsed lung and unable to breathe or do many daily activities such as look after and play with her two children
Dr Robert Scheidt is with the Christian Medical amp Dental Associations (CMDA) and applauds the so-called ldquonew age in surgi-cal carerdquo ldquoI just canrsquot get over the marvel of recreating an organ -- and an organ thatrsquos compatible because it uses the patientrsquos original DNA and tissues -- and it worksrdquo he notes
This accomplishment according to Scheidt is just another reason why research on hu-man embryos will not work while adult stem cells are already successful ldquoWe found out that stem cells have a peculiar property that
if theyrsquore placed in an organ -- it can be one of several organs -- they assume the identity of the organ into which they are placed and then start to work accordinglyrdquo he explains
Castillo is also the first patient to receive a whole organ transplant without needing to take strong immunosuppressant drugs to aid in the bodyrsquos adjustment Dr Scheidt believes the success brings healthcare officials closer to recreating and transplant-ing organs such as the heart and liver
ldquoI can envision a day that we could replen-ish the body with substitute parts that are not harvested from another body but are grown from our own stem cellsrdquo he con-cludes

PASTORS CORNER
In May of 2006 I was praying to the Lord one evening amp the Lord gave me some specific instructions He
said ldquoTeach my people how to live ac-cording to My Wordrdquo I responded by asking Him what He meant by that
He said ldquoMost of My children do not know what it means to live by My Word As a result they are being destroyedrdquo He went on to discuss some other things with me that night As I sat and listened to Him I realized that this is the message that needs to be taught to the Church in these last days That night I committed to the Lord that I would take this message to the world
So in May of 2006 I began ministering on how to live your life by the Word of Godin our services As a result we have had some powerful meetings Great healings and salvations have occurred as well
What the Lord is about to reveal to the body of Christ over the com-ing months is going to literally transform us from living like mere unchanged men into a liberating domi-nating force in the earth today
Several years ago the Lord ask me a ques-tion ldquoAre My Words abiding in yourdquo I had such a desire to for more of God that I was crying out to Him ldquoLord I want to know you morerdquo I recognized the voice of the Holy Spirit asking me that question ldquoAre My Words abiding in yourdquo Then almost immediately before I could say anything He responded with a command ldquoAbide in My Word and you will have that intense relationship that you are seekingrdquo
I began weeping That question changed my life forever In John 15347 we read where Jesus declares
ldquoNow ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you Abide in me and I in you As the branch can-not bear fruit of itself except it abide in me If ye abide in me and my words abide in you ye shall ask what ye will and it shall be done unto yourdquo
The Word ldquoabiderdquo in John chapter 15 is our focus today When Jesus told us to obey His commandments and keep His Word He wasnrsquot just telling us to follow a bunch of religious rules and regulations
He was telling us to allow His Word - which is alive and full of creative power (Hebrews 412) to make its home within our hearts
He was telling us to spend time with it to meditate on it to fill our minds and our mouths with it To let His Word dominate our beliefs control our thoughts and guide our very actions
The Apostle Paul put it this way ldquoLet the Word of Christ dwell in you richlyhelliprdquo Co-lossians 316 Most believers donrsquot have any idea what this means We cry out for more of God yet we have no idea how to receive that request
John 11 tells us ldquoIn the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was Godrdquo
We need to come to the understanding that God and His Word are one and the
same God is His Word and His Word is God If we want more of God than we need more of His Word
Yet when we cry out for answers we miss it We try to receive from God and or experience Him outside of His Word We try to receive from God through our senses
Thatrsquos one of the reasons some Christians fall short in ex-
periencing the power of God in their lives When we spend time abiding in His Word we are literally spending time in the pres-ence of God And according to Habakkuk 34 His presence is the hiding place of His power
Oral Roberts once said that ldquoWhen the Word is really abiding in you when its alive and producing like it should you can hear the Word talking to yourdquo We all know what itrsquos like when we get a song stuck in our mind We just keep hearing it over and over again
Well its much the same way when we start abiding in the Word of God We will hear the Word over and over in our hearts speak-ing to us Many times when I wake up in the morning I will have a song on my heart a praise song to my Lord But there are also times when I wake up in the morning and all I hear is the Word of God speaking to me
There have been times when Irsquove been in a desperate situation wondering what I was going to do when suddenly Irsquod hear a scrip-

PRO-LIFERS EMBOLDENED DESPITE DEATH THREATS
A leading pro-life Christian activist organization has re-ceived another death threat
After the presidential election concluded Operation Rescue received a death threat through its website In a press release president Troy Newman attributes the threat to an abortion supporter emboldened by Barack Obamarsquos presidential victory
Newman notes the only surprise was the vicious-ness of the remarks ldquoOperation Rescue is not new to these sorts of threatsrdquo he explains ldquoWersquove been anthraxed if you will from a fake anthrax hoax Wersquove had our buildings and trucks vandalized Irsquove had guns shoved in my facerdquo
He contends pro-abortion forces will only grow stronger in an Obama administra-tion believing they can ldquoharm pro-lifers and get away with itrdquo The website threat reads that ldquoany act of lsquoanti-abortion ter-rorrsquo would be lsquoANSWERED IN KIND BY PRO-CHOICE COUNTERTERRORISTS
who will mount violent attacks against right-to-lifersrsquordquo (Emphasis by pro-abor-tionist)
According to Newman the threats will make no difference in Operation
Rescuersquos mission adding that it should not deter any Christian of a like mind ldquoGod has not given us a spirit of fear but a spirit of boldness and we need to continue to plead on behalf of those who have no voice -- and thatrsquos what Opera-
tion Rescue is going to continue to dordquo he points out ldquoWe refuse to be intimi-dated by those who dislike the pro-life messagerdquo
Newman plans to continue to implement Operation Rescuersquos history of ldquopeaceful pro-life activismrdquo even in the face of ldquopro-abortion bullying and intimidationrdquo He cites Proverbs 2411 which says believers are to rescue those who are being taken away to death and hold back those who are stumbling to the slaughter
lsquoELDERLY PROP 8 SUPPORTER ROUGHED UP FILING CHARGES
An elderly California woman will file charges against homosexuals who attacked her during a protest
against the passage of Proposition 8
Last Friday evening homosexual activ-ists and their supporters gathered at the Palm Springs City Hall protesting voter approved Prop 8 which defines mar-riage as between a man and a woman Phyllis Burgess went to the rally and car-ried a Styrofoam cross through the crowd
As ABC affiliate KESQ-TV carried that rally live homosexuals surrounded the 69-year-old woman began pushing her reportedly spit on her and grabbed the cross from her arms and threw it on the ground
Burgess remained calm throughout the melee ldquoI was really so overflowing with peacefulness in my heart that I just couldnrsquot see thisrdquo she says ldquoIt wasnrsquot in my mind it really wasnrsquotrdquoInitially Burgess said she did not want to file charges but changed her mind after authorities encouraged her to do so She says she went to the rally ldquojust to get my remarks across at my city hall where I have lived for 30 yearsrdquo She adds ldquoIf it takes endangerment should that stop me Irsquom a senior -- we respect elder abuse in this cityrdquo
Police are reviewing video in hopes of iden-tifying suspects Charges would be assault and vandalism both misdemeanors
The lsquotrue facersquo of opponentsRandy Thomasson of the Campaign for Children and Families says the attack on Burgess is one of many incidents in Cali-fornia directed at supporters of traditional marriage He notes that among the rage and shouting displayed at the rally protestors also used the ldquon-wordrdquo against black people
Thomasson equates their behavior with a toddlerrsquos temper tantrum saying that homosexuals are demonstrat-ing their deep intolerance for not only people who believe
real marriage exists between a man and a woman but also for people of faith and color
ldquoAmerica needs to see the true face of the homosexual activists who are intolerant against people of faith and anyone who be-lieves in real marriage between a man and a womanrdquo he contends
According to Thomasson the peaceful marches of Dr Martin Luther King Jr are drastically different than the recent violent displays mainly because King was seeking natural civil rights and homosexuals are demanding public endorsement of their ldquoun-natural sexual behaviorrdquo

ldquoJust exactly how do I put God firstrdquo you might ask Well you can start with saying ldquoGood morning Lordrdquo when you wake up each morning You can talk to God and ask
Him to guide your day and ask the Holy Spirit to remind you of Jesus throughout the day
You can ask God to help you make right choices Try to make it a habit to think of God during the day just as you might think of a best friend Jesus is your friend isnrsquot He
Put God first and just see how good your day really can be Godrsquos Word works
ldquoIn everything you do put God first and He will crown your efforts with successrdquo (Proverbs 36)
With my four children - all two years apart in age - we have a very busy
home especially when we have to get ready for school and church in the mornings
On school mornings the kids drag out of bed hurry to get dressed and brush their teeth gobble down a bowl of cereal get their lunch and backpack ready and finally out the door they go Does it ever happen like that at your houseI
But wait a minute we forgot something - or Someone What about God In our rush to get out the door did we even think about God Did we even think to talk and acknowledge Him As our Bible verse says today ldquoIF you want God to crown you with success -
success is everything that is good - THEN you have to put Him firstrdquo

Mercy and grace and favor did come by Jesus Christ and also that truth which verified the promises and predictions concerning Him and which exposed and corrected the various errors which had been imbibed respecting the Supreme Being His attributes laws and dispensa-tions
By conveying the Bible to people we certainly do them a most interesting act of kindness We thereby enable them to learn that man was originally created and placed in a state of happiness but be-
coming disobedient was subjected to the degradation and evils which he and his posterity have since experienced The Bi-ble will also inform them that our gracious Creator has provided for us a Redeemer in whom all the nations of the earth should be blessed ndash that this Redeemer has made atonement ldquofor the sins of the whole worldrdquo and thereby reconciling the Divine justice with the Divine mercy has opened a way for our redemption and salvation and that these inestimable ben-efits are of the free gift and grace of God not of our deserving nor in our power to deserve The Bible will also [encourage] them with many explicit and consoling as-surances of the Divine mercy to our fallen race and with repeated invitations to accept the offers of pardon and reconcili-ation They therefore who enlist in His service have the highest encourage-ment to fulfill the dunotties assigned to their respective stations for most certain it is that those of His followers who [partici-
pate in] His conquests will also participate in the trannotscendent glories and blessings of His Triumph
I recommend a general and public return of praise and thanksgiving to Him from whose goodness these blessings descend The most effectual means of securing the continuance of our civil and religious liberties is always to remember with reverence and gratitude the source from which they flow
The Bible is the best of all books for it is the word of God and teaches us the way to be happy in this world and in the next Continue therefore to read it and to regulate your life by its precepts
[T]he evidence of the truth of Christianity requires only to be carefully examined to produce conviction in candid minds they who undertake that task will derive advan-tages
Providence has given to our people the choice of their rulers and it is the duty as well as the privilege and interest of our Christian nation to select and prefer Chris-tians for their rulers
THOMAS JEFFERSONSIGNER OF THE DECLARATION OF INDE-PENDENCE DIPLOMAT GOVERNOR OF VIRGINIA SECRETARY OF STATE THIRD PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES
The doctrines of Jesus are simple and tend all to the happiness of man
The practice of morality being necessary for the well being of society He [God] has taken care to impress its precepts so indelibly on our hearts that they shall not be effaced by the subtleties of our brain We all agree in the obligation of the moral principles of Jesus and nowhere will they be found deliv-ered in greater purity than in His discourses
I am a Christian in the only sense in which He wished anyone to be sincerely attached to His doctrines in preference to all others
I am a real Christian ndash that is to say a dis-
ciple of the doctrines of Jesus Christ
JAMES KENTJUDGE LAW PROFESSOR ldquoFATHER OF AMERICAN JURISPRUDENCErdquo
My children I wish to talk to you During my early and middle life I was perhaps rather skeptical with regard to some of the truths of Christianity Not that I did not have the utmost respect for religion and always read my Bible but the doc-trine of the atonement was one I never could understand and I felt inclined to consider as impossible to be received in the way Divines taught it I believe I was rather inclined to Unitarianism but of late years my views have altered I believe in the doctrines of the prayer books as I understand them and hope to be saved through the merits of Jesus Christ My object in telling you this is that if anything happens to me you might know and perhaps it would console you to remember that on this point my mind is clear I rest my hopes of salvation on the Lord Jesus Christ
FRANCIS SCOTT KEYU S ATTORNEY FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA AUTHOR OF THE ldquoSTAR SPANGLED BANNERrdquo
[M]ay I always hear that you are follow-ing the guidance of that blessed Spirit that will lead you into all truth leaning on that Almighty arm that has been extend-ed to deliver you trusting only in the only
Savior and go-ing on in your way to Him rejoic-ing
It is so important for the Body of Jesus Christ to
realize that we must handle the wealth of this world in order to reach this world The revival we are entering is of such a great magnitude that believers everywhere are going to be required to grow in all aspects in order to participate That will certainly mean financial growth
The prophet Haggai spoke of this revival of the nations
Yet once it is a while and I will shake the heavens and the earth and the sea and the dry land and I will shake all nations and the desire of all nations shall come and I will fill this house with glory saith the Lord of hosts The silver is mine and the gold is mine saith the Lord of hosts The glory of this latter house shall be greater than the former saith the Lord of hosts and in this place will I give peace saith the Lord of hosts (Hag 26-9)
God declares that His glory will be revealed in the nations In the middle of this prophecy He speaks of the silver and the gold being His It may first seem to be out of place but then you see that for the nations to be affected and for the glory of God to be revealed in the house of God the gold and silver must be moved out of the hands of the nations - the world - and into the hands of His nation the Church
There is a shifting of wealth ahead in the earth Wealth is to come into the hands of godly men and women who will bring glory to God with it The wealth of this earth is not here to satisfy the lusts and greed of the perverted It is here to bring the freedom of Jesus Christ to the na-tions It is to bring glory to God
If you will not be afraid of the responsibil-ity of wealth God will show you how to increase in a greater measure
Too many people have put the responsi-bility for their development and advance-ment in the hands of God when He has clearly put it in their hands
Galatians 67 says it this way ldquoA manrsquos harvest in life will depend entirely on what he sowsrdquo (Phillips)
The context of this verse is the money given to those who teach the Word of God You establish your own harvest by your giving to Godrsquos work
In Galatians 68 Paul says ldquoFor he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption but he that soweth

to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlastingrdquo
Certainly this verse reaches beyond the financial realm But the context is regarding giving Our giving and honoring God with tithes and offerings is sowing to the spirit Your money reaches into the spirit realm
You can see this is in the words of the angel of the Lord sent to Cornelius who had hon-ored God
There was a certain man in Caesarea called Cornelius a centurion of the band called the Italian band a devout man and one that feared God with all his house which gave much alms to the people and prayed to God always He saw in a vision evidently about the ninth hour of the day an angel of God coming in to him and saying unto him Cornelius And when he looked on him he was afraid and said What is it Lord And he said unto him Thy prayers and thine alms are come up for a memorial before God (Acts 101-4)
Here is a man hungry for the reality of God reaching out in the only way he knew He prayed and he gave The angel said that his praying and giving had built a memorial be-fore God He had entered into the spirit realm with prayer and giving The money he gave went up before God in the Spirit and became an evidence of his hunger and honor for God
His faith and hunger for God resulted in the Apostle Peter receiving a vision that commis-sioned him to bring the gospel to the Gentiles as well as to the Jews (Acts 109-48)
Your praying and giving in faith bring your needs into the presence of God It is the very evidence that you are looking to Him and not to your own ability to meet your needs or change your circumstances When you honor Him He will direct you and guide your steps
There is a final aspect of what your giving will do that I must include here In 2 Corinthians 9 the Holy Spirit through Paul summarizes this principle
He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully Ev-ery man according as he purposeth in his heart so let him give not grudgingly or of necessity for God loveth a cheerful giver And God is able to make all grace abound toward you that ye always having sufficiency in all things may abound to every good work (2 Cor 96-8)
Paul said that all grace would abound toward you The various aspects of grace that bring Godrsquos ability to you for any area of life will increase according to your giving and sowing into the kingdom of God
That puts the growth and advancement in your life within your influence Your will-ingness to honor God with your wealth and to reach out in faith to give brings you to a place of Godrsquos ability multiplying on your behalf
To say it once again Galatians 67 in the Phillips translation is the most powerful and clear summary of this entire subject ldquoA manrsquos harvest in life will depend entirely on what he sowsrdquo
Your harvest can change if you will choose to sow the right seeds Let Godrsquos grace for giving be multiplied in you

Three Things Dating is NotDating is not really a biblical word at all That doesnrsquot mean itrsquos wrong to go out with someone on a ldquodaterdquo But it is important to remember what the Bible has to say about develop-ing romantic friendships
If you begin dating without some clear guidelines and boundaries you are headed for disaster Take a quick glance at what dating is not
Dating is not for those who arenrsquot ready In my opinion dating shouldnrsquot even be a consideration until a young person is at least 16 years old
Thatrsquos been ldquothe Lawrdquo with my three teenage boys and theyrsquore doing just fine with it That doesnrsquot mean you canrsquot have good friendships with the opposite sex just keep things in a group environment
Dating is not a great way to ldquoreally get to know someonerdquo Why Be-cause everyone is on best behavior during a date
If you really want to get to know someone watch the person at school every day or both of you get a job together at McDonaldrsquos Eight straight hours over a hot greaser full of fries will tell you the real tale
Dating is not all itrsquos cracked up to be Think about two people out together who hardly know each other Theyrsquore young and have limited social skills They have to try to create awkward conversation for hours on end
The point is itrsquos usually a whole lot easier to get to know someone among a group of other friends who can help fill those awkward mo-ments keeping things fun

Following a meeting last week between leading Lebanese legislator Sarsquoad Hariri and Russian leaders
Hariri was quoted by Russian me-dia this weekend as saying Russia will sell heavy weaponry to Leba-non Previously Hariri said that he hoped Russia would help Leb-anon claim Mt Dov from Israel Russia is ex-pecting Lebanon to recognize the independence of the breakaway Georgian dis-tricts of Abkha-zia and South Ossetia
Hariri the son of the assassinat-ed popular former Prime Minister Rafik Hariri represents the West-ern-backed majority in the Leba-nese parliament Russia will ldquohelp the Lebanese armyrdquo the Vremia Novosti newspaper quoted Hariri as saying ldquowhich needs heavy weaponsrdquo such as tanks and artil-lery American military aid Hariri told Russian media only consists of light arms
Lebanese Defense Minister Elias Murr is to visit Moscow in coming weeks when the details of the arms deal will be finalized The Russian state arms export firm Rosobo-ronexport has been boycotted by the United States government for arms deals with Iran North Korea
and Syria
In early October Prime Minister Ehud Olmert met with Russian President Dmitry Medvedev and urged him not to approve the sale of weapons to Iran and Syria It was imperative he told the Russian leader to ldquopre-
vent weapons from Syria from reaching extrem-ist elements in Lebanon such as Hizbullahrdquo
Mt Dov and Ab-khazia-S Ossetia - Quid Pro Quo

After his meeting with Hariri Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said that Rus-sia was against foreign interference in Lebanese domestic affairs It was not clear if he was referring to actions

RUSSIA TO SELL HEAVY ARMS TO LEBANON
Mike Huckabee wouldnrsquot rule out a 2012 run for president Wednesday but
he acknowledged it could be hard to take back the spotlight from fellow Republican Sarah Palin ldquoIrsquom not ruling anything out for the future but Irsquom not making any specific plansrdquo Huckabee told reporters at a briefing to promote his new book ldquoDo the Right Thingrdquo
ldquoItrsquos not something Irsquom sitting around thinking aboutrdquo
Huckabee a former Arkansas governor said he expects Palin
to continue to have a leading voice in the Republican Party though he acknowledged he was envious of
her meteoric rise after Sen John McCain brought her out of relative ob-scurity as gov-ernor of Alaska to run with him this year as the vice presiden-tial candidate
Huckabee credited Palin
with energizing McCainrsquos campaign and said that her surprise selec-tion for the GOP ticket helped her to ldquoleapfrog over the processrdquo that other Republicans _ including himself _ had to endure to become national political figures
ldquoIrsquom not frustrated by itrdquo Hucka-bee said ldquoItrsquos not a resentment on her part Itrsquos an envyrdquo
Huckabee plans to stay on the national political stage through his shows hersquoll host on Fox News Channel and ABC Radio
The former Arkansas governor ran a scrappy but underfunded presidential campaign this year staying in the race until March when McCain secured enough delegates to win the nomination All the other serious Republican contenders had dropped out weeks before
Huckabee ran as a religious conservative though many conservative leaders wouldnrsquot support him Despite a lack of money Huckabee won the leadoff caucuses in Iowa and seven other states His book tour will take him to Iowa later this month
Huckabee and McCain had a cordial relationship during the campaign but Huckabee clearly didnrsquot like former Massachusetts Gov Mitt Romney another con-tender for the GOP nomination
In his book Huckabee slams Romney for changing positions on issues such as abortion rights and gay marriage
ldquoHe spent more time on the road to Damascus than a Syrian camel driver And we thought nobody could fill John Kerryrsquos
flip-flopsrdquo Huckabee wrote
Romneyrsquos record he wrote ldquowas anything but conservative until he changed all the light-bulbs in his chandelier in time to run for presidentrdquo
A spokesman for Romney dis-missed Huckabeersquos comments in the book as ldquopetty stuffrdquo
ldquoWe need to focus on mov-ing the party forward with new ideasrdquo Romney spokesman Eric Fehrnstrom said ldquoUnfortu-nately Mike Huckabee seems more interested in settling scores than bringing people togetherrdquo
Huckabee said Wednesday he was simply writing with the same candor he showed dur-ing the campaign
ldquoThere was obvious tension and again it wasnrsquot just me but with other candidates and so I addressed where that came fromrdquo Huckabee said ldquoOne of the things people came to believe that they would get from me was can-dorrdquo
ldquoIf I had written this book and totally ignored some of the obvious issues that were there I think people would have said the book lacked credibility and candorrdquo he said

nuclear reactor
The documents were being shared with the 35 nations on the IAEArsquos board
On Syria the agency also said that soil samples taken from the bombed site had a ldquosignificant num-berrdquo of chemically processed natu-ral uranium particles A senior UN official who demanded anonymity because the information was restricted said the findings were unusual for a facility that Syria alleges had no nuclear purpose
The same official char-acterized UN attempts to elicit answers from Tehran on al-legations that it had drafted plans for nuclear weapons programs as at a standstill
The Syrian report said ldquoit cannot be excludedrdquo that the building de-stroyed in a remote stretch of the Syrian desert on Sept 6 2007 was ldquointended for non-nuclear userdquo
Still ldquothe features of the building are similar to what may be found in connection with a reactor siterdquo it said suggesting facilityrsquos size also fits that picture
The report took note of Syrian as-sertions that any uranium particles found at the site must have come from Israeli missiles that hit the building near the town of Al Kibar And it cited Damascus officials as saying the IAEA samples contained only a ldquovery limited numberrdquo of such particles
But the report spoke of a ldquosignificant
number of particlesrdquo found in the samples
The senior UN official said ldquothe onus of this investigation is on Syr-iardquo and noted that the traces were not of depleted uranium mdash the most commonly used variety of the met-al in ammunition meant to harden ordnance for increased penetra-
tion
Satellite imagery made public in the wake of the Israeli attack noted that the Syrians subsequent-ly removed substantial amounts of topsoil and entombed the building in concrete But the report also suggested similar activities at three other
Syrian sites of IAEA interest
ldquoAnalysis of satellite imagery taken of these locations indicates that landscaping activities and the re-moval of large containers took place shortly after the agencyrsquos re-quest for accessrdquo it said
Beyond one visit in June to the Al Kibar site Syria has refused IAEA requests to return to that location and examine the three other sites citing the need to protect its military secrets
In addition said the report ldquoSyria has not yet provided the requested documentationrdquo to back up its as-sertions that the bombed building was a non-nuclear military facility
Iran denies such plans saying it wants to enrich for a future large-scale civilian nuclear program But suspicions have been compounded by its monthslong refusal to answer IAEA questions based on US Is-

RUSSIA TO SELL HEAVY ARMS TO LEBANON
by Syria Israel or other foreign in-terventions
The Iran-controlled Lebanese ter-rorist organization Hizbullah in the meantime said recently that an Is-raeli withdrawal from Mt Dov would only be a start The group claims seven Arab villages in northern Is-rael are actually Lebanese In any event both Iran and Hizbullah have repeatedly made it clear that they do not believe Israel should exist at
all regardless of bor-der demarcations A Hizbullah spokesman said last week that the group would not give up it arms until Lebanon had another force capa-ble of confronting Israel
Touching on Lebanese policy towards matters in the Slavic states Hariri was quoted as saying that Lebanon may well recognize the indepen-dence of the breakaway Georgian districts of
South Ossetia and Abkhazia The Russian Vremya Novostei news-paper quoted Hariri as saying ldquoWe will fine tune contacts with South Ossetia and Abkhazia now For example delegations of Lebanese businessmen will be leaving for there soonrdquo Russia has backed the secession of the regions from Georgia including launching a war in their defense in August of this year
In his last Thanksgiving as the Commander in Chief Tuesday President Bush thanked US
troops for a ldquojob well donerdquo noting that even though thousands of soldiers are returning home the war is not yet over
During his visit to Fort Campbell Ky Bush offered comfort for troops coming back home and for those who are pre-paring to deploy again In November alone more than 10000 soldiers had returned to the military base most of them from Iraq
In recent weeks this post has been the scene of heart-warming family reunionsrdquo he said ldquoMany of you have recently finished deployments to Iraq You performed with cour-age and distinction on the front lines of the war on terror You have returned on successrdquo
Still the President warned that ldquothe war in Iraq is not overrdquo and
stressed the importance of victory in the country
ldquoSuccess will frustrate Iranrsquos ambi-tions to dominate the region Suc-cess will show millions across the Middle East that a future of liberty and
democracy is possible Suc-cess will deny al-Qaeda a safe haven for launching new attacksrdquo Bush said ldquoSuccess in Iraq will mean that the Ameri-can people are more secure at homerdquo
Over the next few weeks the White House says 3000 soldiers from the 101st Airborne will deploy to Afghani-stan while 450 will be sent to Iraq In January another 1200 will be de-ployed to Iraq from Fort Campbell

A tremendous pyramid of evidence for design and recent cre-ation is available for detailed study
Romans 120 states ldquoFor the invisible things of him from the creation are clearly seen being understood by the things that are made even his eternal power and Godhead so that they are without excuserdquo1 Human Artifacts throughout the Geologic ColumnMan-made artifacts - such as the hammer in Cretaceous rock a human sandal print with trilobite in Cambrian rock human foot-prints and a handprint in Cretaceous rock ndash point to the fact that all the supposed geologic periods actually occurred at the same time in the recent past11
2 Helium Content in Earthrsquos Atmosphere Physicist Melvin Cook found that helium-4 enters our atmosphere from solar wind and radioactive decay of uranium At present rates our at-mosphere would accumulate current helium-4 amounts in less than 10000 years12
3 Expansion of Space FabricAstronomical estimates of the distance to various galaxies gives conflicting data13 The Bibli-cal Record refers to the expansion of space by the Creator14 Astrophysicist Russell Humphries demonstrates that such space expansion would dilate time in distant space15 This could explain a recent creation with great distances to the stars
4 Design in Living SystemsA living cell is so awesomely complex that its interdependent components stagger the imagi-nation and defy evolutionary explanations A minimal cell con-tains over 60000 proteins of 100 different configurations16 The chance of this assemblage occurring by chance is 1 in 10 4478296 17
5 Design in the Human BrainThe human brain is the most complicated structure in the known universe18 It contains over 100 billion cells each with over 50000 neuron connections to other brain cells19 This structure receives over 100 million separate signals from the total human body every second If we learned something new every second of our lives it would take three million years to exhaust the capacity of the human brain 20 In addition to conscious thought people can actually reason anticipate consequences and devise plans - all without know-ing they are doing so21

Fugitive terrorist Osama bin Laden is planning new attacks against the US that will ldquooutdo by farrdquo the attacks of 911
according to a report in a London-based Arabic newspaper
The paper Al-Quds Al-Arabi quotes a former senior Yemeni al-Qaida official saying the terror group is now in a ldquopositive phaserdquo of staff-ing and rebuilding training camps around the globe The action will lead to the next ldquowave of actionrdquo against the US the paper reported
ldquoThis will be shown by the fact that we now control a major part of the south of Somaliardquo the Yemeni source told the paper
According to the report bin Laden is personally involved in the preparations and is looking to ldquochange the face of world politics and econom-icsrdquo
The paper is edited by Abdel al-Bari Atwan the last journalist to interview bin Laden in 1996The Yemeni operative says he remains in contact with current al-Qaida chiefs He claims
BIN LADEN PLANS NEW ATTACKS BIGGER THAN 911
GOODYEAR
bin Laden sent a message to all jihad cells in the Arab world six months ago urging them not to interact with their governments or local political parties
More signs of al-Qaidarsquos violent intentions are expected over the next few days the paper reported
The al-Qaida warning comes just one day after The Telegraph newspaper published a leaked government report showing thousands of extremists are active in the UK The document says the operatives are mostly native Brits between 18 and 30 Many have been trained in overseas terrorist camps
Security officials warned that al-Qaida will attempt another ldquospectacularrdquo in the UK likely focused on airports or train stations The Telegraph reported Other potential targets include the Houses of Parliament and Whitehall Buckingham and St Jamesrsquo palaces
MIRACLErsquo TURNAROUND IN DELAWARE EUTHANASIA CASE
The Al-liance Defense
Fund has reached a favorable settlement in a lawsuit that pit-ted a divorced father and mother against
each another over whether their 24-year-old daughter should live
Lauren Richardson sustained a severe brain injury in August 2006 according to an Alli-ance Defense Fund (ADF) press release The doctors then declared she would be in a ldquopersistent vegetative staterdquo ADF attorney Matt Bowman tells OneNews-Now Laurenrsquos mother was fighting to have Laurenrsquos feeding tube and water discontin-ued but she had a change of heart ldquoThe
miracle in Lauren Richardsonrsquos case is that both of her parents came to realize that life should be protectedrdquo he explains ldquoItrsquos inherently valuable and just because Lauren has a severe disability doesnrsquot mean that her life is not valuablerdquo
Laurenrsquos mother became a born-again Christian and visited her daughter at her hospital facility which Bowman believes was quite eye-opening ldquoAnd then an amazing thing happenedrdquo he notes ldquoShe told Lauren that Lauren would be cared for and Lauren started crying and they cried together and she realized that her daughter was really there and was really respondingrdquo Lauren was also responding to pain music family membersrsquo voices touch and assisted exercise The parents have agreed to settle the case and share joint guardianship of Lauren

PASTORS CORNER
In May of 2006 I was praying to the Lord one evening amp the Lord gave me some specific instructions He
said ldquoTeach my people how to live ac-cording to My Wordrdquo I responded by asking Him what He meant by that
He said ldquoMost of My children do not know what it means to live by My Word As a result they are being destroyedrdquo He went on to discuss some other things with me that night As I sat and listened to Him I realized that this is the message that needs to be taught to the Church in these last days That night I committed to the Lord that I would take this message to the world
So in May of 2006 I began ministering on how to live your life by the Word of Godin our services As a result we have had some powerful meetings Great healings and salvations have occurred as well
What the Lord is about to reveal to the body of Christ over the com-ing months is going to literally transform us from living like mere unchanged men into a liberating domi-nating force in the earth today
Several years ago the Lord ask me a ques-tion ldquoAre My Words abiding in yourdquo I had such a desire to for more of God that I was crying out to Him ldquoLord I want to know you morerdquo I recognized the voice of the Holy Spirit asking me that question ldquoAre My Words abiding in yourdquo Then almost immediately before I could say anything He responded with a command ldquoAbide in My Word and you will have that intense relationship that you are seekingrdquo
I began weeping That question changed my life forever In John 15347 we read where Jesus declares
ldquoNow ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you Abide in me and I in you As the branch can-not bear fruit of itself except it abide in me If ye abide in me and my words abide in you ye shall ask what ye will and it shall be done unto yourdquo
The Word ldquoabiderdquo in John chapter 15 is our focus today When Jesus told us to obey His commandments and keep His Word He wasnrsquot just telling us to follow a bunch of religious rules and regulations
He was telling us to allow His Word - which is alive and full of creative power (Hebrews 412) to make its home within our hearts
He was telling us to spend time with it to meditate on it to fill our minds and our mouths with it To let His Word dominate our beliefs control our thoughts and guide our very actions
The Apostle Paul put it this way ldquoLet the Word of Christ dwell in you richlyhelliprdquo Co-lossians 316 Most believers donrsquot have any idea what this means We cry out for more of God yet we have no idea how to receive that request
John 11 tells us ldquoIn the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was Godrdquo
We need to come to the understanding that God and His Word are one and the
same God is His Word and His Word is God If we want more of God than we need more of His Word
Yet when we cry out for answers we miss it We try to receive from God and or experience Him outside of His Word We try to receive from God through our senses
Thatrsquos one of the reasons some Christians fall short in ex-
periencing the power of God in their lives When we spend time abiding in His Word we are literally spending time in the pres-ence of God And according to Habakkuk 34 His presence is the hiding place of His power
Oral Roberts once said that ldquoWhen the Word is really abiding in you when its alive and producing like it should you can hear the Word talking to yourdquo We all know what itrsquos like when we get a song stuck in our mind We just keep hearing it over and over again
Well its much the same way when we start abiding in the Word of God We will hear the Word over and over in our hearts speak-ing to us Many times when I wake up in the morning I will have a song on my heart a praise song to my Lord But there are also times when I wake up in the morning and all I hear is the Word of God speaking to me
There have been times when Irsquove been in a desperate situation wondering what I was going to do when suddenly Irsquod hear a scrip-

PRO-LIFERS EMBOLDENED DESPITE DEATH THREATS
A leading pro-life Christian activist organization has re-ceived another death threat
After the presidential election concluded Operation Rescue received a death threat through its website In a press release president Troy Newman attributes the threat to an abortion supporter emboldened by Barack Obamarsquos presidential victory
Newman notes the only surprise was the vicious-ness of the remarks ldquoOperation Rescue is not new to these sorts of threatsrdquo he explains ldquoWersquove been anthraxed if you will from a fake anthrax hoax Wersquove had our buildings and trucks vandalized Irsquove had guns shoved in my facerdquo
He contends pro-abortion forces will only grow stronger in an Obama administra-tion believing they can ldquoharm pro-lifers and get away with itrdquo The website threat reads that ldquoany act of lsquoanti-abortion ter-rorrsquo would be lsquoANSWERED IN KIND BY PRO-CHOICE COUNTERTERRORISTS
who will mount violent attacks against right-to-lifersrsquordquo (Emphasis by pro-abor-tionist)
According to Newman the threats will make no difference in Operation
Rescuersquos mission adding that it should not deter any Christian of a like mind ldquoGod has not given us a spirit of fear but a spirit of boldness and we need to continue to plead on behalf of those who have no voice -- and thatrsquos what Opera-
tion Rescue is going to continue to dordquo he points out ldquoWe refuse to be intimi-dated by those who dislike the pro-life messagerdquo
Newman plans to continue to implement Operation Rescuersquos history of ldquopeaceful pro-life activismrdquo even in the face of ldquopro-abortion bullying and intimidationrdquo He cites Proverbs 2411 which says believers are to rescue those who are being taken away to death and hold back those who are stumbling to the slaughter
lsquoELDERLY PROP 8 SUPPORTER ROUGHED UP FILING CHARGES
An elderly California woman will file charges against homosexuals who attacked her during a protest
against the passage of Proposition 8
Last Friday evening homosexual activ-ists and their supporters gathered at the Palm Springs City Hall protesting voter approved Prop 8 which defines mar-riage as between a man and a woman Phyllis Burgess went to the rally and car-ried a Styrofoam cross through the crowd
As ABC affiliate KESQ-TV carried that rally live homosexuals surrounded the 69-year-old woman began pushing her reportedly spit on her and grabbed the cross from her arms and threw it on the ground
Burgess remained calm throughout the melee ldquoI was really so overflowing with peacefulness in my heart that I just couldnrsquot see thisrdquo she says ldquoIt wasnrsquot in my mind it really wasnrsquotrdquoInitially Burgess said she did not want to file charges but changed her mind after authorities encouraged her to do so She says she went to the rally ldquojust to get my remarks across at my city hall where I have lived for 30 yearsrdquo She adds ldquoIf it takes endangerment should that stop me Irsquom a senior -- we respect elder abuse in this cityrdquo
Police are reviewing video in hopes of iden-tifying suspects Charges would be assault and vandalism both misdemeanors
The lsquotrue facersquo of opponentsRandy Thomasson of the Campaign for Children and Families says the attack on Burgess is one of many incidents in Cali-fornia directed at supporters of traditional marriage He notes that among the rage and shouting displayed at the rally protestors also used the ldquon-wordrdquo against black people
Thomasson equates their behavior with a toddlerrsquos temper tantrum saying that homosexuals are demonstrat-ing their deep intolerance for not only people who believe
real marriage exists between a man and a woman but also for people of faith and color
ldquoAmerica needs to see the true face of the homosexual activists who are intolerant against people of faith and anyone who be-lieves in real marriage between a man and a womanrdquo he contends
According to Thomasson the peaceful marches of Dr Martin Luther King Jr are drastically different than the recent violent displays mainly because King was seeking natural civil rights and homosexuals are demanding public endorsement of their ldquoun-natural sexual behaviorrdquo

ldquoJust exactly how do I put God firstrdquo you might ask Well you can start with saying ldquoGood morning Lordrdquo when you wake up each morning You can talk to God and ask
Him to guide your day and ask the Holy Spirit to remind you of Jesus throughout the day
You can ask God to help you make right choices Try to make it a habit to think of God during the day just as you might think of a best friend Jesus is your friend isnrsquot He
Put God first and just see how good your day really can be Godrsquos Word works
ldquoIn everything you do put God first and He will crown your efforts with successrdquo (Proverbs 36)
With my four children - all two years apart in age - we have a very busy
home especially when we have to get ready for school and church in the mornings
On school mornings the kids drag out of bed hurry to get dressed and brush their teeth gobble down a bowl of cereal get their lunch and backpack ready and finally out the door they go Does it ever happen like that at your houseI
But wait a minute we forgot something - or Someone What about God In our rush to get out the door did we even think about God Did we even think to talk and acknowledge Him As our Bible verse says today ldquoIF you want God to crown you with success -
success is everything that is good - THEN you have to put Him firstrdquo

Mercy and grace and favor did come by Jesus Christ and also that truth which verified the promises and predictions concerning Him and which exposed and corrected the various errors which had been imbibed respecting the Supreme Being His attributes laws and dispensa-tions
By conveying the Bible to people we certainly do them a most interesting act of kindness We thereby enable them to learn that man was originally created and placed in a state of happiness but be-
coming disobedient was subjected to the degradation and evils which he and his posterity have since experienced The Bi-ble will also inform them that our gracious Creator has provided for us a Redeemer in whom all the nations of the earth should be blessed ndash that this Redeemer has made atonement ldquofor the sins of the whole worldrdquo and thereby reconciling the Divine justice with the Divine mercy has opened a way for our redemption and salvation and that these inestimable ben-efits are of the free gift and grace of God not of our deserving nor in our power to deserve The Bible will also [encourage] them with many explicit and consoling as-surances of the Divine mercy to our fallen race and with repeated invitations to accept the offers of pardon and reconcili-ation They therefore who enlist in His service have the highest encourage-ment to fulfill the dunotties assigned to their respective stations for most certain it is that those of His followers who [partici-
pate in] His conquests will also participate in the trannotscendent glories and blessings of His Triumph
I recommend a general and public return of praise and thanksgiving to Him from whose goodness these blessings descend The most effectual means of securing the continuance of our civil and religious liberties is always to remember with reverence and gratitude the source from which they flow
The Bible is the best of all books for it is the word of God and teaches us the way to be happy in this world and in the next Continue therefore to read it and to regulate your life by its precepts
[T]he evidence of the truth of Christianity requires only to be carefully examined to produce conviction in candid minds they who undertake that task will derive advan-tages
Providence has given to our people the choice of their rulers and it is the duty as well as the privilege and interest of our Christian nation to select and prefer Chris-tians for their rulers
THOMAS JEFFERSONSIGNER OF THE DECLARATION OF INDE-PENDENCE DIPLOMAT GOVERNOR OF VIRGINIA SECRETARY OF STATE THIRD PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES
The doctrines of Jesus are simple and tend all to the happiness of man
The practice of morality being necessary for the well being of society He [God] has taken care to impress its precepts so indelibly on our hearts that they shall not be effaced by the subtleties of our brain We all agree in the obligation of the moral principles of Jesus and nowhere will they be found deliv-ered in greater purity than in His discourses
I am a Christian in the only sense in which He wished anyone to be sincerely attached to His doctrines in preference to all others
I am a real Christian ndash that is to say a dis-
ciple of the doctrines of Jesus Christ
JAMES KENTJUDGE LAW PROFESSOR ldquoFATHER OF AMERICAN JURISPRUDENCErdquo
My children I wish to talk to you During my early and middle life I was perhaps rather skeptical with regard to some of the truths of Christianity Not that I did not have the utmost respect for religion and always read my Bible but the doc-trine of the atonement was one I never could understand and I felt inclined to consider as impossible to be received in the way Divines taught it I believe I was rather inclined to Unitarianism but of late years my views have altered I believe in the doctrines of the prayer books as I understand them and hope to be saved through the merits of Jesus Christ My object in telling you this is that if anything happens to me you might know and perhaps it would console you to remember that on this point my mind is clear I rest my hopes of salvation on the Lord Jesus Christ
FRANCIS SCOTT KEYU S ATTORNEY FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA AUTHOR OF THE ldquoSTAR SPANGLED BANNERrdquo
[M]ay I always hear that you are follow-ing the guidance of that blessed Spirit that will lead you into all truth leaning on that Almighty arm that has been extend-ed to deliver you trusting only in the only
Savior and go-ing on in your way to Him rejoic-ing
It is so important for the Body of Jesus Christ to
realize that we must handle the wealth of this world in order to reach this world The revival we are entering is of such a great magnitude that believers everywhere are going to be required to grow in all aspects in order to participate That will certainly mean financial growth
The prophet Haggai spoke of this revival of the nations
Yet once it is a while and I will shake the heavens and the earth and the sea and the dry land and I will shake all nations and the desire of all nations shall come and I will fill this house with glory saith the Lord of hosts The silver is mine and the gold is mine saith the Lord of hosts The glory of this latter house shall be greater than the former saith the Lord of hosts and in this place will I give peace saith the Lord of hosts (Hag 26-9)
God declares that His glory will be revealed in the nations In the middle of this prophecy He speaks of the silver and the gold being His It may first seem to be out of place but then you see that for the nations to be affected and for the glory of God to be revealed in the house of God the gold and silver must be moved out of the hands of the nations - the world - and into the hands of His nation the Church
There is a shifting of wealth ahead in the earth Wealth is to come into the hands of godly men and women who will bring glory to God with it The wealth of this earth is not here to satisfy the lusts and greed of the perverted It is here to bring the freedom of Jesus Christ to the na-tions It is to bring glory to God
If you will not be afraid of the responsibil-ity of wealth God will show you how to increase in a greater measure
Too many people have put the responsi-bility for their development and advance-ment in the hands of God when He has clearly put it in their hands
Galatians 67 says it this way ldquoA manrsquos harvest in life will depend entirely on what he sowsrdquo (Phillips)
The context of this verse is the money given to those who teach the Word of God You establish your own harvest by your giving to Godrsquos work
In Galatians 68 Paul says ldquoFor he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption but he that soweth

to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlastingrdquo
Certainly this verse reaches beyond the financial realm But the context is regarding giving Our giving and honoring God with tithes and offerings is sowing to the spirit Your money reaches into the spirit realm
You can see this is in the words of the angel of the Lord sent to Cornelius who had hon-ored God
There was a certain man in Caesarea called Cornelius a centurion of the band called the Italian band a devout man and one that feared God with all his house which gave much alms to the people and prayed to God always He saw in a vision evidently about the ninth hour of the day an angel of God coming in to him and saying unto him Cornelius And when he looked on him he was afraid and said What is it Lord And he said unto him Thy prayers and thine alms are come up for a memorial before God (Acts 101-4)
Here is a man hungry for the reality of God reaching out in the only way he knew He prayed and he gave The angel said that his praying and giving had built a memorial be-fore God He had entered into the spirit realm with prayer and giving The money he gave went up before God in the Spirit and became an evidence of his hunger and honor for God
His faith and hunger for God resulted in the Apostle Peter receiving a vision that commis-sioned him to bring the gospel to the Gentiles as well as to the Jews (Acts 109-48)
Your praying and giving in faith bring your needs into the presence of God It is the very evidence that you are looking to Him and not to your own ability to meet your needs or change your circumstances When you honor Him He will direct you and guide your steps
There is a final aspect of what your giving will do that I must include here In 2 Corinthians 9 the Holy Spirit through Paul summarizes this principle
He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully Ev-ery man according as he purposeth in his heart so let him give not grudgingly or of necessity for God loveth a cheerful giver And God is able to make all grace abound toward you that ye always having sufficiency in all things may abound to every good work (2 Cor 96-8)
Paul said that all grace would abound toward you The various aspects of grace that bring Godrsquos ability to you for any area of life will increase according to your giving and sowing into the kingdom of God
That puts the growth and advancement in your life within your influence Your will-ingness to honor God with your wealth and to reach out in faith to give brings you to a place of Godrsquos ability multiplying on your behalf
To say it once again Galatians 67 in the Phillips translation is the most powerful and clear summary of this entire subject ldquoA manrsquos harvest in life will depend entirely on what he sowsrdquo
Your harvest can change if you will choose to sow the right seeds Let Godrsquos grace for giving be multiplied in you

Three Things Dating is NotDating is not really a biblical word at all That doesnrsquot mean itrsquos wrong to go out with someone on a ldquodaterdquo But it is important to remember what the Bible has to say about develop-ing romantic friendships
If you begin dating without some clear guidelines and boundaries you are headed for disaster Take a quick glance at what dating is not
Dating is not for those who arenrsquot ready In my opinion dating shouldnrsquot even be a consideration until a young person is at least 16 years old
Thatrsquos been ldquothe Lawrdquo with my three teenage boys and theyrsquore doing just fine with it That doesnrsquot mean you canrsquot have good friendships with the opposite sex just keep things in a group environment
Dating is not a great way to ldquoreally get to know someonerdquo Why Be-cause everyone is on best behavior during a date
If you really want to get to know someone watch the person at school every day or both of you get a job together at McDonaldrsquos Eight straight hours over a hot greaser full of fries will tell you the real tale
Dating is not all itrsquos cracked up to be Think about two people out together who hardly know each other Theyrsquore young and have limited social skills They have to try to create awkward conversation for hours on end
The point is itrsquos usually a whole lot easier to get to know someone among a group of other friends who can help fill those awkward mo-ments keeping things fun

Following a meeting last week between leading Lebanese legislator Sarsquoad Hariri and Russian leaders
Hariri was quoted by Russian me-dia this weekend as saying Russia will sell heavy weaponry to Leba-non Previously Hariri said that he hoped Russia would help Leb-anon claim Mt Dov from Israel Russia is ex-pecting Lebanon to recognize the independence of the breakaway Georgian dis-tricts of Abkha-zia and South Ossetia
Hariri the son of the assassinat-ed popular former Prime Minister Rafik Hariri represents the West-ern-backed majority in the Leba-nese parliament Russia will ldquohelp the Lebanese armyrdquo the Vremia Novosti newspaper quoted Hariri as saying ldquowhich needs heavy weaponsrdquo such as tanks and artil-lery American military aid Hariri told Russian media only consists of light arms
Lebanese Defense Minister Elias Murr is to visit Moscow in coming weeks when the details of the arms deal will be finalized The Russian state arms export firm Rosobo-ronexport has been boycotted by the United States government for arms deals with Iran North Korea
and Syria
In early October Prime Minister Ehud Olmert met with Russian President Dmitry Medvedev and urged him not to approve the sale of weapons to Iran and Syria It was imperative he told the Russian leader to ldquopre-
vent weapons from Syria from reaching extrem-ist elements in Lebanon such as Hizbullahrdquo
Mt Dov and Ab-khazia-S Ossetia - Quid Pro Quo
Last week during an official visit to Moscow by Hariri
and other legislators Lebanese media strongly emphasized Haririrsquos expres-sion of his appreciation for Russiarsquos role in working towards an Israeli with-drawal from the Mt Dov area (called ldquoShabrsquoa Farmsrdquo in Lebanon) along the Israeli border with Lebanon A report published by the Beirut-based English-language Daily Star was en-titled ldquoHariri Looks to Russia to Help Liberate Shabrsquoa Farmsrdquo although the article itself did not present any direct quote on the matter from Lebanese or Russian officials
After his meeting with Hariri Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said that Rus-sia was against foreign interference in Lebanese domestic affairs It was not clear if he was referring to actions

RUSSIA TO SELL HEAVY ARMS TO LEBANON
Mike Huckabee wouldnrsquot rule out a 2012 run for president Wednesday but
he acknowledged it could be hard to take back the spotlight from fellow Republican Sarah Palin ldquoIrsquom not ruling anything out for the future but Irsquom not making any specific plansrdquo Huckabee told reporters at a briefing to promote his new book ldquoDo the Right Thingrdquo
ldquoItrsquos not something Irsquom sitting around thinking aboutrdquo
Huckabee a former Arkansas governor said he expects Palin
to continue to have a leading voice in the Republican Party though he acknowledged he was envious of
her meteoric rise after Sen John McCain brought her out of relative ob-scurity as gov-ernor of Alaska to run with him this year as the vice presiden-tial candidate
Huckabee credited Palin
with energizing McCainrsquos campaign and said that her surprise selec-tion for the GOP ticket helped her to ldquoleapfrog over the processrdquo that other Republicans _ including himself _ had to endure to become national political figures
ldquoIrsquom not frustrated by itrdquo Hucka-bee said ldquoItrsquos not a resentment on her part Itrsquos an envyrdquo
Huckabee plans to stay on the national political stage through his shows hersquoll host on Fox News Channel and ABC Radio
The former Arkansas governor ran a scrappy but underfunded presidential campaign this year staying in the race until March when McCain secured enough delegates to win the nomination All the other serious Republican contenders had dropped out weeks before
Huckabee ran as a religious conservative though many conservative leaders wouldnrsquot support him Despite a lack of money Huckabee won the leadoff caucuses in Iowa and seven other states His book tour will take him to Iowa later this month
Huckabee and McCain had a cordial relationship during the campaign but Huckabee clearly didnrsquot like former Massachusetts Gov Mitt Romney another con-tender for the GOP nomination
In his book Huckabee slams Romney for changing positions on issues such as abortion rights and gay marriage
ldquoHe spent more time on the road to Damascus than a Syrian camel driver And we thought nobody could fill John Kerryrsquos
flip-flopsrdquo Huckabee wrote
Romneyrsquos record he wrote ldquowas anything but conservative until he changed all the light-bulbs in his chandelier in time to run for presidentrdquo
A spokesman for Romney dis-missed Huckabeersquos comments in the book as ldquopetty stuffrdquo
ldquoWe need to focus on mov-ing the party forward with new ideasrdquo Romney spokesman Eric Fehrnstrom said ldquoUnfortu-nately Mike Huckabee seems more interested in settling scores than bringing people togetherrdquo
Huckabee said Wednesday he was simply writing with the same candor he showed dur-ing the campaign
ldquoThere was obvious tension and again it wasnrsquot just me but with other candidates and so I addressed where that came fromrdquo Huckabee said ldquoOne of the things people came to believe that they would get from me was can-dorrdquo
ldquoIf I had written this book and totally ignored some of the obvious issues that were there I think people would have said the book lacked credibility and candorrdquo he said

nuclear reactor
The documents were being shared with the 35 nations on the IAEArsquos board
On Syria the agency also said that soil samples taken from the bombed site had a ldquosignificant num-berrdquo of chemically processed natu-ral uranium particles A senior UN official who demanded anonymity because the information was restricted said the findings were unusual for a facility that Syria alleges had no nuclear purpose
The same official char-acterized UN attempts to elicit answers from Tehran on al-legations that it had drafted plans for nuclear weapons programs as at a standstill
The Syrian report said ldquoit cannot be excludedrdquo that the building de-stroyed in a remote stretch of the Syrian desert on Sept 6 2007 was ldquointended for non-nuclear userdquo
Still ldquothe features of the building are similar to what may be found in connection with a reactor siterdquo it said suggesting facilityrsquos size also fits that picture
The report took note of Syrian as-sertions that any uranium particles found at the site must have come from Israeli missiles that hit the building near the town of Al Kibar And it cited Damascus officials as saying the IAEA samples contained only a ldquovery limited numberrdquo of such particles
But the report spoke of a ldquosignificant
number of particlesrdquo found in the samples
The senior UN official said ldquothe onus of this investigation is on Syr-iardquo and noted that the traces were not of depleted uranium mdash the most commonly used variety of the met-al in ammunition meant to harden ordnance for increased penetra-
tion
Satellite imagery made public in the wake of the Israeli attack noted that the Syrians subsequent-ly removed substantial amounts of topsoil and entombed the building in concrete But the report also suggested similar activities at three other
Syrian sites of IAEA interest
ldquoAnalysis of satellite imagery taken of these locations indicates that landscaping activities and the re-moval of large containers took place shortly after the agencyrsquos re-quest for accessrdquo it said
Beyond one visit in June to the Al Kibar site Syria has refused IAEA requests to return to that location and examine the three other sites citing the need to protect its military secrets
In addition said the report ldquoSyria has not yet provided the requested documentationrdquo to back up its as-sertions that the bombed building was a non-nuclear military facility
Iran denies such plans saying it wants to enrich for a future large-scale civilian nuclear program But suspicions have been compounded by its monthslong refusal to answer IAEA questions based on US Is-

RUSSIA TO SELL HEAVY ARMS TO LEBANON
by Syria Israel or other foreign in-terventions
The Iran-controlled Lebanese ter-rorist organization Hizbullah in the meantime said recently that an Is-raeli withdrawal from Mt Dov would only be a start The group claims seven Arab villages in northern Is-rael are actually Lebanese In any event both Iran and Hizbullah have repeatedly made it clear that they do not believe Israel should exist at
all regardless of bor-der demarcations A Hizbullah spokesman said last week that the group would not give up it arms until Lebanon had another force capa-ble of confronting Israel
Touching on Lebanese policy towards matters in the Slavic states Hariri was quoted as saying that Lebanon may well recognize the indepen-dence of the breakaway Georgian districts of
South Ossetia and Abkhazia The Russian Vremya Novostei news-paper quoted Hariri as saying ldquoWe will fine tune contacts with South Ossetia and Abkhazia now For example delegations of Lebanese businessmen will be leaving for there soonrdquo Russia has backed the secession of the regions from Georgia including launching a war in their defense in August of this year
In his last Thanksgiving as the Commander in Chief Tuesday President Bush thanked US
troops for a ldquojob well donerdquo noting that even though thousands of soldiers are returning home the war is not yet over
During his visit to Fort Campbell Ky Bush offered comfort for troops coming back home and for those who are pre-paring to deploy again In November alone more than 10000 soldiers had returned to the military base most of them from Iraq
In recent weeks this post has been the scene of heart-warming family reunionsrdquo he said ldquoMany of you have recently finished deployments to Iraq You performed with cour-age and distinction on the front lines of the war on terror You have returned on successrdquo
Still the President warned that ldquothe war in Iraq is not overrdquo and
stressed the importance of victory in the country
ldquoSuccess will frustrate Iranrsquos ambi-tions to dominate the region Suc-cess will show millions across the Middle East that a future of liberty and
democracy is possible Suc-cess will deny al-Qaeda a safe haven for launching new attacksrdquo Bush said ldquoSuccess in Iraq will mean that the Ameri-can people are more secure at homerdquo
Over the next few weeks the White House says 3000 soldiers from the 101st Airborne will deploy to Afghani-stan while 450 will be sent to Iraq In January another 1200 will be de-ployed to Iraq from Fort Campbell
Bush called the work of the troops ldquohistoricalrdquo and and said he expected their efforts in Iraq will resonate far beyond the country and into history books

Romans 120 states ldquoFor the invisible things of him from the creation are clearly seen being understood by the things that are made even his eternal power and Godhead so that they are without excuserdquo1 Human Artifacts throughout the Geologic ColumnMan-made artifacts - such as the hammer in Cretaceous rock a human sandal print with trilobite in Cambrian rock human foot-prints and a handprint in Cretaceous rock ndash point to the fact that all the supposed geologic periods actually occurred at the same time in the recent past11
2 Helium Content in Earthrsquos Atmosphere Physicist Melvin Cook found that helium-4 enters our atmosphere from solar wind and radioactive decay of uranium At present rates our at-mosphere would accumulate current helium-4 amounts in less than 10000 years12
3 Expansion of Space FabricAstronomical estimates of the distance to various galaxies gives conflicting data13 The Bibli-cal Record refers to the expansion of space by the Creator14 Astrophysicist Russell Humphries demonstrates that such space expansion would dilate time in distant space15 This could explain a recent creation with great distances to the stars

Fugitive terrorist Osama bin Laden is planning new attacks against the US that will ldquooutdo by farrdquo the attacks of 911
according to a report in a London-based Arabic newspaper
The paper Al-Quds Al-Arabi quotes a former senior Yemeni al-Qaida official saying the terror group is now in a ldquopositive phaserdquo of staff-ing and rebuilding training camps around the globe The action will lead to the next ldquowave of actionrdquo against the US the paper reported
ldquoThis will be shown by the fact that we now control a major part of the south of Somaliardquo the Yemeni source told the paper
According to the report bin Laden is personally involved in the preparations and is looking to ldquochange the face of world politics and econom-icsrdquo
The paper is edited by Abdel al-Bari Atwan the last journalist to interview bin Laden in 1996The Yemeni operative says he remains in contact with current al-Qaida chiefs He claims
BIN LADEN PLANS NEW ATTACKS BIGGER THAN 911
GOODYEAR
bin Laden sent a message to all jihad cells in the Arab world six months ago urging them not to interact with their governments or local political parties
More signs of al-Qaidarsquos violent intentions are expected over the next few days the paper reported
The al-Qaida warning comes just one day after The Telegraph newspaper published a leaked government report showing thousands of extremists are active in the UK The document says the operatives are mostly native Brits between 18 and 30 Many have been trained in overseas terrorist camps
Security officials warned that al-Qaida will attempt another ldquospectacularrdquo in the UK likely focused on airports or train stations The Telegraph reported Other potential targets include the Houses of Parliament and Whitehall Buckingham and St Jamesrsquo palaces
MIRACLErsquo TURNAROUND IN DELAWARE EUTHANASIA CASE

Lauren Richardson sustained a severe brain injury in August 2006 according to an Alli-ance Defense Fund (ADF) press release The doctors then declared she would be in a ldquopersistent vegetative staterdquo ADF attorney Matt Bowman tells OneNews-Now Laurenrsquos mother was fighting to have Laurenrsquos feeding tube and water discontin-ued but she had a change of heart ldquoThe

Laurenrsquos mother became a born-again Christian and visited her daughter at her hospital facility which Bowman believes was quite eye-opening ldquoAnd then an amazing thing happenedrdquo he notes ldquoShe told Lauren that Lauren would be cared for and Lauren started crying and they cried together and she realized that her daughter was really there and was really respondingrdquo Lauren was also responding to pain music family membersrsquo voices touch and assisted exercise The parents have agreed to settle the case and share joint guardianship of Lauren

PRO-LIFERS EMBOLDENED DESPITE DEATH THREATS
A leading pro-life Christian activist organization has re-ceived another death threat
After the presidential election concluded Operation Rescue received a death threat through its website In a press release president Troy Newman attributes the threat to an abortion supporter emboldened by Barack Obamarsquos presidential victory
Newman notes the only surprise was the vicious-ness of the remarks ldquoOperation Rescue is not new to these sorts of threatsrdquo he explains ldquoWersquove been anthraxed if you will from a fake anthrax hoax Wersquove had our buildings and trucks vandalized Irsquove had guns shoved in my facerdquo
He contends pro-abortion forces will only grow stronger in an Obama administra-tion believing they can ldquoharm pro-lifers and get away with itrdquo The website threat reads that ldquoany act of lsquoanti-abortion ter-rorrsquo would be lsquoANSWERED IN KIND BY PRO-CHOICE COUNTERTERRORISTS
who will mount violent attacks against right-to-lifersrsquordquo (Emphasis by pro-abor-tionist)
According to Newman the threats will make no difference in Operation
Rescuersquos mission adding that it should not deter any Christian of a like mind ldquoGod has not given us a spirit of fear but a spirit of boldness and we need to continue to plead on behalf of those who have no voice -- and thatrsquos what Opera-
tion Rescue is going to continue to dordquo he points out ldquoWe refuse to be intimi-dated by those who dislike the pro-life messagerdquo
Newman plans to continue to implement Operation Rescuersquos history of ldquopeaceful pro-life activismrdquo even in the face of ldquopro-abortion bullying and intimidationrdquo He cites Proverbs 2411 which says believers are to rescue those who are being taken away to death and hold back those who are stumbling to the slaughter
lsquoELDERLY PROP 8 SUPPORTER ROUGHED UP FILING CHARGES
An elderly California woman will file charges against homosexuals who attacked her during a protest
against the passage of Proposition 8
Last Friday evening homosexual activ-ists and their supporters gathered at the Palm Springs City Hall protesting voter approved Prop 8 which defines mar-riage as between a man and a woman Phyllis Burgess went to the rally and car-ried a Styrofoam cross through the crowd
As ABC affiliate KESQ-TV carried that rally live homosexuals surrounded the 69-year-old woman began pushing her reportedly spit on her and grabbed the cross from her arms and threw it on the ground
Burgess remained calm throughout the melee ldquoI was really so overflowing with peacefulness in my heart that I just couldnrsquot see thisrdquo she says ldquoIt wasnrsquot in my mind it really wasnrsquotrdquoInitially Burgess said she did not want to file charges but changed her mind after authorities encouraged her to do so She says she went to the rally ldquojust to get my remarks across at my city hall where I have lived for 30 yearsrdquo She adds ldquoIf it takes endangerment should that stop me Irsquom a senior -- we respect elder abuse in this cityrdquo
Police are reviewing video in hopes of iden-tifying suspects Charges would be assault and vandalism both misdemeanors
The lsquotrue facersquo of opponentsRandy Thomasson of the Campaign for Children and Families says the attack on Burgess is one of many incidents in Cali-fornia directed at supporters of traditional marriage He notes that among the rage and shouting displayed at the rally protestors also used the ldquon-wordrdquo against black people
Thomasson equates their behavior with a toddlerrsquos temper tantrum saying that homosexuals are demonstrat-ing their deep intolerance for not only people who believe
real marriage exists between a man and a woman but also for people of faith and color
ldquoAmerica needs to see the true face of the homosexual activists who are intolerant against people of faith and anyone who be-lieves in real marriage between a man and a womanrdquo he contends
According to Thomasson the peaceful marches of Dr Martin Luther King Jr are drastically different than the recent violent displays mainly because King was seeking natural civil rights and homosexuals are demanding public endorsement of their ldquoun-natural sexual behaviorrdquo

We have a lot of ldquoifrsquosrdquo and ldquothenrsquosrdquo at our house ldquoIfrdquo my son Nathan picks up his room ldquothenrdquo he can watch TV ldquoIfrdquo my daughter Katie eats all of her food ldquothenrdquo she can have dessert ldquoIfrdquo she studies her spelling ldquothenrdquo she can go out and play
If and then IF you put God first THEN He will crown you with success
ldquoJust exactly how do I put God firstrdquo you might ask Well you can start with saying ldquoGood morning Lordrdquo when you wake up each morning You can talk to God and ask
Him to guide your day and ask the Holy Spirit to remind you of Jesus throughout the day
You can ask God to help you make right choices Try to make it a habit to think of God during the day just as you might think of a best friend Jesus is your friend isnrsquot He
Put God first and just see how good your day really can be Godrsquos Word works
ldquoIn everything you do put God first and He will crown your efforts with successrdquo (Proverbs 36)
With my four children - all two years apart in age - we have a very busy
home especially when we have to get ready for school and church in the mornings
On school mornings the kids drag out of bed hurry to get dressed and brush their teeth gobble down a bowl of cereal get their lunch and backpack ready and finally out the door they go Does it ever happen like that at your houseI
But wait a minute we forgot something - or Someone What about God In our rush to get out the door did we even think about God Did we even think to talk and acknowledge Him As our Bible verse says today ldquoIF you want God to crown you with success -
success is everything that is good - THEN you have to put Him firstrdquo

Mercy and grace and favor did come by Jesus Christ and also that truth which verified the promises and predictions concerning Him and which exposed and corrected the various errors which had been imbibed respecting the Supreme Being His attributes laws and dispensa-tions
By conveying the Bible to people we certainly do them a most interesting act of kindness We thereby enable them to learn that man was originally created and placed in a state of happiness but be-
coming disobedient was subjected to the degradation and evils which he and his posterity have since experienced The Bi-ble will also inform them that our gracious Creator has provided for us a Redeemer in whom all the nations of the earth should be blessed ndash that this Redeemer has made atonement ldquofor the sins of the whole worldrdquo and thereby reconciling the Divine justice with the Divine mercy has opened a way for our redemption and salvation and that these inestimable ben-efits are of the free gift and grace of God not of our deserving nor in our power to deserve The Bible will also [encourage] them with many explicit and consoling as-surances of the Divine mercy to our fallen race and with repeated invitations to accept the offers of pardon and reconcili-ation They therefore who enlist in His service have the highest encourage-ment to fulfill the dunotties assigned to their respective stations for most certain it is that those of His followers who [partici-
pate in] His conquests will also participate in the trannotscendent glories and blessings of His Triumph
I recommend a general and public return of praise and thanksgiving to Him from whose goodness these blessings descend The most effectual means of securing the continuance of our civil and religious liberties is always to remember with reverence and gratitude the source from which they flow
The Bible is the best of all books for it is the word of God and teaches us the way to be happy in this world and in the next Continue therefore to read it and to regulate your life by its precepts
[T]he evidence of the truth of Christianity requires only to be carefully examined to produce conviction in candid minds they who undertake that task will derive advan-tages
Providence has given to our people the choice of their rulers and it is the duty as well as the privilege and interest of our Christian nation to select and prefer Chris-tians for their rulers
THOMAS JEFFERSONSIGNER OF THE DECLARATION OF INDE-PENDENCE DIPLOMAT GOVERNOR OF VIRGINIA SECRETARY OF STATE THIRD PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES
The doctrines of Jesus are simple and tend all to the happiness of man
The practice of morality being necessary for the well being of society He [God] has taken care to impress its precepts so indelibly on our hearts that they shall not be effaced by the subtleties of our brain We all agree in the obligation of the moral principles of Jesus and nowhere will they be found deliv-ered in greater purity than in His discourses
I am a Christian in the only sense in which He wished anyone to be sincerely attached to His doctrines in preference to all others
I am a real Christian ndash that is to say a dis-
ciple of the doctrines of Jesus Christ
JAMES KENTJUDGE LAW PROFESSOR ldquoFATHER OF AMERICAN JURISPRUDENCErdquo
My children I wish to talk to you During my early and middle life I was perhaps rather skeptical with regard to some of the truths of Christianity Not that I did not have the utmost respect for religion and always read my Bible but the doc-trine of the atonement was one I never could understand and I felt inclined to consider as impossible to be received in the way Divines taught it I believe I was rather inclined to Unitarianism but of late years my views have altered I believe in the doctrines of the prayer books as I understand them and hope to be saved through the merits of Jesus Christ My object in telling you this is that if anything happens to me you might know and perhaps it would console you to remember that on this point my mind is clear I rest my hopes of salvation on the Lord Jesus Christ
FRANCIS SCOTT KEYU S ATTORNEY FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA AUTHOR OF THE ldquoSTAR SPANGLED BANNERrdquo
[M]ay I always hear that you are follow-ing the guidance of that blessed Spirit that will lead you into all truth leaning on that Almighty arm that has been extend-ed to deliver you trusting only in the only
Savior and go-ing on in your way to Him rejoic-ing
It is so important for the Body of Jesus Christ to
realize that we must handle the wealth of this world in order to reach this world The revival we are entering is of such a great magnitude that believers everywhere are going to be required to grow in all aspects in order to participate That will certainly mean financial growth
The prophet Haggai spoke of this revival of the nations
Yet once it is a while and I will shake the heavens and the earth and the sea and the dry land and I will shake all nations and the desire of all nations shall come and I will fill this house with glory saith the Lord of hosts The silver is mine and the gold is mine saith the Lord of hosts The glory of this latter house shall be greater than the former saith the Lord of hosts and in this place will I give peace saith the Lord of hosts (Hag 26-9)
God declares that His glory will be revealed in the nations In the middle of this prophecy He speaks of the silver and the gold being His It may first seem to be out of place but then you see that for the nations to be affected and for the glory of God to be revealed in the house of God the gold and silver must be moved out of the hands of the nations - the world - and into the hands of His nation the Church
There is a shifting of wealth ahead in the earth Wealth is to come into the hands of godly men and women who will bring glory to God with it The wealth of this earth is not here to satisfy the lusts and greed of the perverted It is here to bring the freedom of Jesus Christ to the na-tions It is to bring glory to God
If you will not be afraid of the responsibil-ity of wealth God will show you how to increase in a greater measure
Too many people have put the responsi-bility for their development and advance-ment in the hands of God when He has clearly put it in their hands
Galatians 67 says it this way ldquoA manrsquos harvest in life will depend entirely on what he sowsrdquo (Phillips)
The context of this verse is the money given to those who teach the Word of God You establish your own harvest by your giving to Godrsquos work
In Galatians 68 Paul says ldquoFor he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption but he that soweth

to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlastingrdquo
Certainly this verse reaches beyond the financial realm But the context is regarding giving Our giving and honoring God with tithes and offerings is sowing to the spirit Your money reaches into the spirit realm
You can see this is in the words of the angel of the Lord sent to Cornelius who had hon-ored God
There was a certain man in Caesarea called Cornelius a centurion of the band called the Italian band a devout man and one that feared God with all his house which gave much alms to the people and prayed to God always He saw in a vision evidently about the ninth hour of the day an angel of God coming in to him and saying unto him Cornelius And when he looked on him he was afraid and said What is it Lord And he said unto him Thy prayers and thine alms are come up for a memorial before God (Acts 101-4)
Here is a man hungry for the reality of God reaching out in the only way he knew He prayed and he gave The angel said that his praying and giving had built a memorial be-fore God He had entered into the spirit realm with prayer and giving The money he gave went up before God in the Spirit and became an evidence of his hunger and honor for God
His faith and hunger for God resulted in the Apostle Peter receiving a vision that commis-sioned him to bring the gospel to the Gentiles as well as to the Jews (Acts 109-48)
Your praying and giving in faith bring your needs into the presence of God It is the very evidence that you are looking to Him and not to your own ability to meet your needs or change your circumstances When you honor Him He will direct you and guide your steps
There is a final aspect of what your giving will do that I must include here In 2 Corinthians 9 the Holy Spirit through Paul summarizes this principle
He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully Ev-ery man according as he purposeth in his heart so let him give not grudgingly or of necessity for God loveth a cheerful giver And God is able to make all grace abound toward you that ye always having sufficiency in all things may abound to every good work (2 Cor 96-8)
Paul said that all grace would abound toward you The various aspects of grace that bring Godrsquos ability to you for any area of life will increase according to your giving and sowing into the kingdom of God
That puts the growth and advancement in your life within your influence Your will-ingness to honor God with your wealth and to reach out in faith to give brings you to a place of Godrsquos ability multiplying on your behalf
To say it once again Galatians 67 in the Phillips translation is the most powerful and clear summary of this entire subject ldquoA manrsquos harvest in life will depend entirely on what he sowsrdquo
Your harvest can change if you will choose to sow the right seeds Let Godrsquos grace for giving be multiplied in you

Three Things Dating is NotDating is not really a biblical word at all That doesnrsquot mean itrsquos wrong to go out with someone on a ldquodaterdquo But it is important to remember what the Bible has to say about develop-ing romantic friendships
If you begin dating without some clear guidelines and boundaries you are headed for disaster Take a quick glance at what dating is not
Dating is not for those who arenrsquot ready In my opinion dating shouldnrsquot even be a consideration until a young person is at least 16 years old
Thatrsquos been ldquothe Lawrdquo with my three teenage boys and theyrsquore doing just fine with it That doesnrsquot mean you canrsquot have good friendships with the opposite sex just keep things in a group environment
Dating is not a great way to ldquoreally get to know someonerdquo Why Be-cause everyone is on best behavior during a date
If you really want to get to know someone watch the person at school every day or both of you get a job together at McDonaldrsquos Eight straight hours over a hot greaser full of fries will tell you the real tale
Dating is not all itrsquos cracked up to be Think about two people out together who hardly know each other Theyrsquore young and have limited social skills They have to try to create awkward conversation for hours on end
The point is itrsquos usually a whole lot easier to get to know someone among a group of other friends who can help fill those awkward mo-ments keeping things fun

Following a meeting last week between leading Lebanese legislator Sarsquoad Hariri and Russian leaders
Hariri was quoted by Russian me-dia this weekend as saying Russia will sell heavy weaponry to Leba-non Previously Hariri said that he hoped Russia would help Leb-anon claim Mt Dov from Israel Russia is ex-pecting Lebanon to recognize the independence of the breakaway Georgian dis-tricts of Abkha-zia and South Ossetia
Hariri the son of the assassinat-ed popular former Prime Minister Rafik Hariri represents the West-ern-backed majority in the Leba-nese parliament Russia will ldquohelp the Lebanese armyrdquo the Vremia Novosti newspaper quoted Hariri as saying ldquowhich needs heavy weaponsrdquo such as tanks and artil-lery American military aid Hariri told Russian media only consists of light arms
Lebanese Defense Minister Elias Murr is to visit Moscow in coming weeks when the details of the arms deal will be finalized The Russian state arms export firm Rosobo-ronexport has been boycotted by the United States government for arms deals with Iran North Korea
and Syria
In early October Prime Minister Ehud Olmert met with Russian President Dmitry Medvedev and urged him not to approve the sale of weapons to Iran and Syria It was imperative he told the Russian leader to ldquopre-
vent weapons from Syria from reaching extrem-ist elements in Lebanon such as Hizbullahrdquo
Mt Dov and Ab-khazia-S Ossetia - Quid Pro Quo
Last week during an official visit to Moscow by Hariri
and other legislators Lebanese media strongly emphasized Haririrsquos expres-sion of his appreciation for Russiarsquos role in working towards an Israeli with-drawal from the Mt Dov area (called ldquoShabrsquoa Farmsrdquo in Lebanon) along the Israeli border with Lebanon A report published by the Beirut-based English-language Daily Star was en-titled ldquoHariri Looks to Russia to Help Liberate Shabrsquoa Farmsrdquo although the article itself did not present any direct quote on the matter from Lebanese or Russian officials
After his meeting with Hariri Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said that Rus-sia was against foreign interference in Lebanese domestic affairs It was not clear if he was referring to actions

RUSSIA TO SELL HEAVY ARMS TO LEBANON
Mike Huckabee wouldnrsquot rule out a 2012 run for president Wednesday but
he acknowledged it could be hard to take back the spotlight from fellow Republican Sarah Palin ldquoIrsquom not ruling anything out for the future but Irsquom not making any specific plansrdquo Huckabee told reporters at a briefing to promote his new book ldquoDo the Right Thingrdquo
ldquoItrsquos not something Irsquom sitting around thinking aboutrdquo
Huckabee a former Arkansas governor said he expects Palin
to continue to have a leading voice in the Republican Party though he acknowledged he was envious of
her meteoric rise after Sen John McCain brought her out of relative ob-scurity as gov-ernor of Alaska to run with him this year as the vice presiden-tial candidate
Huckabee credited Palin
with energizing McCainrsquos campaign and said that her surprise selec-tion for the GOP ticket helped her to ldquoleapfrog over the processrdquo that other Republicans _ including himself _ had to endure to become national political figures
ldquoIrsquom not frustrated by itrdquo Hucka-bee said ldquoItrsquos not a resentment on her part Itrsquos an envyrdquo
Huckabee plans to stay on the national political stage through his shows hersquoll host on Fox News Channel and ABC Radio
The former Arkansas governor ran a scrappy but underfunded presidential campaign this year staying in the race until March when McCain secured enough delegates to win the nomination All the other serious Republican contenders had dropped out weeks before
Huckabee ran as a religious conservative though many conservative leaders wouldnrsquot support him Despite a lack of money Huckabee won the leadoff caucuses in Iowa and seven other states His book tour will take him to Iowa later this month
Huckabee and McCain had a cordial relationship during the campaign but Huckabee clearly didnrsquot like former Massachusetts Gov Mitt Romney another con-tender for the GOP nomination
In his book Huckabee slams Romney for changing positions on issues such as abortion rights and gay marriage
ldquoHe spent more time on the road to Damascus than a Syrian camel driver And we thought nobody could fill John Kerryrsquos
flip-flopsrdquo Huckabee wrote
Romneyrsquos record he wrote ldquowas anything but conservative until he changed all the light-bulbs in his chandelier in time to run for presidentrdquo
A spokesman for Romney dis-missed Huckabeersquos comments in the book as ldquopetty stuffrdquo
ldquoWe need to focus on mov-ing the party forward with new ideasrdquo Romney spokesman Eric Fehrnstrom said ldquoUnfortu-nately Mike Huckabee seems more interested in settling scores than bringing people togetherrdquo
Huckabee said Wednesday he was simply writing with the same candor he showed dur-ing the campaign
ldquoThere was obvious tension and again it wasnrsquot just me but with other candidates and so I addressed where that came fromrdquo Huckabee said ldquoOne of the things people came to believe that they would get from me was can-dorrdquo
ldquoIf I had written this book and totally ignored some of the obvious issues that were there I think people would have said the book lacked credibility and candorrdquo he said

nuclear reactor
The documents were being shared with the 35 nations on the IAEArsquos board
On Syria the agency also said that soil samples taken from the bombed site had a ldquosignificant num-berrdquo of chemically processed natu-ral uranium particles A senior UN official who demanded anonymity because the information was restricted said the findings were unusual for a facility that Syria alleges had no nuclear purpose
The same official char-acterized UN attempts to elicit answers from Tehran on al-legations that it had drafted plans for nuclear weapons programs as at a standstill
The Syrian report said ldquoit cannot be excludedrdquo that the building de-stroyed in a remote stretch of the Syrian desert on Sept 6 2007 was ldquointended for non-nuclear userdquo
Still ldquothe features of the building are similar to what may be found in connection with a reactor siterdquo it said suggesting facilityrsquos size also fits that picture
The report took note of Syrian as-sertions that any uranium particles found at the site must have come from Israeli missiles that hit the building near the town of Al Kibar And it cited Damascus officials as saying the IAEA samples contained only a ldquovery limited numberrdquo of such particles
But the report spoke of a ldquosignificant
number of particlesrdquo found in the samples
The senior UN official said ldquothe onus of this investigation is on Syr-iardquo and noted that the traces were not of depleted uranium mdash the most commonly used variety of the met-al in ammunition meant to harden ordnance for increased penetra-
tion
Satellite imagery made public in the wake of the Israeli attack noted that the Syrians subsequent-ly removed substantial amounts of topsoil and entombed the building in concrete But the report also suggested similar activities at three other
Syrian sites of IAEA interest
ldquoAnalysis of satellite imagery taken of these locations indicates that landscaping activities and the re-moval of large containers took place shortly after the agencyrsquos re-quest for accessrdquo it said
Beyond one visit in June to the Al Kibar site Syria has refused IAEA requests to return to that location and examine the three other sites citing the need to protect its military secrets
In addition said the report ldquoSyria has not yet provided the requested documentationrdquo to back up its as-sertions that the bombed building was a non-nuclear military facility
Iran denies such plans saying it wants to enrich for a future large-scale civilian nuclear program But suspicions have been compounded by its monthslong refusal to answer IAEA questions based on US Is-

ture down on the inside of me The still small voice of the Holy Spirit would be speaking the living Word of God to my heart
At that moment I knew I had a decision to make Do I act on the Word of God or by how I feel After hearing the Word of God I knew what the answer was to my situation But I still had a choice God was not go-ing to make me act on His Word
This is where you and I have to choose to live by His Word and not by our natural reasoning if we want to win Well Rory you may say if I knew what God was saying about my situation I would do it I just donrsquot know what God is saying about my situation
That is precisely what I am talking about here friend The only way we are ever go-ing to know what God is saying about our situations is if we are doing what Jesus commanded us to do in John chapter 15
When we learn to live in the Word then His Word will begin speaking to us
Jesus said ldquoAbide live or dwell in My Word Then ask what you will and it shall be donerdquo
Start abiding in His Word Be obedient to every Word
that the Holy Spirit brings to your mind Make the quality decision to live your life by the Word of God and youll start experienc-ing more of His liberating presence in your life today
At that moment I knew I had a
decision to makeDo I act on the
Word of God or by how I feel

RUSSIA TO SELL HEAVY ARMS TO LEBANON
by Syria Israel or other foreign in-terventions
The Iran-controlled Lebanese ter-rorist organization Hizbullah in the meantime said recently that an Is-raeli withdrawal from Mt Dov would only be a start The group claims seven Arab villages in northern Is-rael are actually Lebanese In any event both Iran and Hizbullah have repeatedly made it clear that they do not believe Israel should exist at
all regardless of bor-der demarcations A Hizbullah spokesman said last week that the group would not give up it arms until Lebanon had another force capa-ble of confronting Israel
Touching on Lebanese policy towards matters in the Slavic states Hariri was quoted as saying that Lebanon may well recognize the indepen-dence of the breakaway Georgian districts of
South Ossetia and Abkhazia The Russian Vremya Novostei news-paper quoted Hariri as saying ldquoWe will fine tune contacts with South Ossetia and Abkhazia now For example delegations of Lebanese businessmen will be leaving for there soonrdquo Russia has backed the secession of the regions from Georgia including launching a war in their defense in August of this year
In his last Thanksgiving as the Commander in Chief Tuesday President Bush thanked US
troops for a ldquojob well donerdquo noting that even though thousands of soldiers are returning home the war is not yet over
During his visit to Fort Campbell Ky Bush offered comfort for troops coming back home and for those who are pre-paring to deploy again In November alone more than 10000 soldiers had returned to the military base most of them from Iraq
In recent weeks this post has been the scene of heart-warming family reunionsrdquo he said ldquoMany of you have recently finished deployments to Iraq You performed with cour-age and distinction on the front lines of the war on terror You have returned on successrdquo
Still the President warned that ldquothe war in Iraq is not overrdquo and
stressed the importance of victory in the country
ldquoSuccess will frustrate Iranrsquos ambi-tions to dominate the region Suc-cess will show millions across the Middle East that a future of liberty and
democracy is possible Suc-cess will deny al-Qaeda a safe haven for launching new attacksrdquo Bush said ldquoSuccess in Iraq will mean that the Ameri-can people are more secure at homerdquo
Over the next few weeks the White House says 3000 soldiers from the 101st Airborne will deploy to Afghani-stan while 450 will be sent to Iraq In January another 1200 will be de-ployed to Iraq from Fort Campbell
Bush called the work of the troops ldquohistoricalrdquo and and said he expected their efforts in Iraq will resonate far beyond the country and into history books

A tremendous pyramid of evidence for design and recent cre-ation is available for detailed study
Romans 120 states ldquoFor the invisible things of him from the creation are clearly seen being understood by the things that are made even his eternal power and Godhead so that they are without excuserdquo1 Human Artifacts throughout the Geologic ColumnMan-made artifacts - such as the hammer in Cretaceous rock a human sandal print with trilobite in Cambrian rock human foot-prints and a handprint in Cretaceous rock ndash point to the fact that all the supposed geologic periods actually occurred at the same time in the recent past11
2 Helium Content in Earthrsquos Atmosphere Physicist Melvin Cook found that helium-4 enters our atmosphere from solar wind and radioactive decay of uranium At present rates our at-mosphere would accumulate current helium-4 amounts in less than 10000 years12
3 Expansion of Space FabricAstronomical estimates of the distance to various galaxies gives conflicting data13 The Bibli-cal Record refers to the expansion of space by the Creator14 Astrophysicist Russell Humphries demonstrates that such space expansion would dilate time in distant space15 This could explain a recent creation with great distances to the stars
4 Design in Living SystemsA living cell is so awesomely complex that its interdependent components stagger the imagi-nation and defy evolutionary explanations A minimal cell con-tains over 60000 proteins of 100 different configurations16 The chance of this assemblage occurring by chance is 1 in 10 4478296 17
5 Design in the Human BrainThe human brain is the most complicated structure in the known universe18 It contains over 100 billion cells each with over 50000 neuron connections to other brain cells19 This structure receives over 100 million separate signals from the total human body every second If we learned something new every second of our lives it would take three million years to exhaust the capacity of the human brain 20 In addition to conscious thought people can actually reason anticipate consequences and devise plans - all without know-ing they are doing so21

Fugitive terrorist Osama bin Laden is planning new attacks against the US that will ldquooutdo by farrdquo the attacks of 911
according to a report in a London-based Arabic newspaper
The paper Al-Quds Al-Arabi quotes a former senior Yemeni al-Qaida official saying the terror group is now in a ldquopositive phaserdquo of staff-ing and rebuilding training camps around the globe The action will lead to the next ldquowave of actionrdquo against the US the paper reported
ldquoThis will be shown by the fact that we now control a major part of the south of Somaliardquo the Yemeni source told the paper
According to the report bin Laden is personally involved in the preparations and is looking to ldquochange the face of world politics and econom-icsrdquo
The paper is edited by Abdel al-Bari Atwan the last journalist to interview bin Laden in 1996The Yemeni operative says he remains in contact with current al-Qaida chiefs He claims
BIN LADEN PLANS NEW ATTACKS BIGGER THAN 911
GOODYEAR
bin Laden sent a message to all jihad cells in the Arab world six months ago urging them not to interact with their governments or local political parties
More signs of al-Qaidarsquos violent intentions are expected over the next few days the paper reported
The al-Qaida warning comes just one day after The Telegraph newspaper published a leaked government report showing thousands of extremists are active in the UK The document says the operatives are mostly native Brits between 18 and 30 Many have been trained in overseas terrorist camps
Security officials warned that al-Qaida will attempt another ldquospectacularrdquo in the UK likely focused on airports or train stations The Telegraph reported Other potential targets include the Houses of Parliament and Whitehall Buckingham and St Jamesrsquo palaces
MIRACLErsquo TURNAROUND IN DELAWARE EUTHANASIA CASE
The Al-liance Defense
Fund has reached a favorable settlement in a lawsuit that pit-ted a divorced father and mother against
each another over whether their 24-year-old daughter should live
Lauren Richardson sustained a severe brain injury in August 2006 according to an Alli-ance Defense Fund (ADF) press release The doctors then declared she would be in a ldquopersistent vegetative staterdquo ADF attorney Matt Bowman tells OneNews-Now Laurenrsquos mother was fighting to have Laurenrsquos feeding tube and water discontin-ued but she had a change of heart ldquoThe
miracle in Lauren Richardsonrsquos case is that both of her parents came to realize that life should be protectedrdquo he explains ldquoItrsquos inherently valuable and just because Lauren has a severe disability doesnrsquot mean that her life is not valuablerdquo
Laurenrsquos mother became a born-again Christian and visited her daughter at her hospital facility which Bowman believes was quite eye-opening ldquoAnd then an amazing thing happenedrdquo he notes ldquoShe told Lauren that Lauren would be cared for and Lauren started crying and they cried together and she realized that her daughter was really there and was really respondingrdquo Lauren was also responding to pain music family membersrsquo voices touch and assisted exercise The parents have agreed to settle the case and share joint guardianship of Lauren

ldquoJust exactly how do I put God firstrdquo you might ask Well you can start with saying ldquoGood morning Lordrdquo when you wake up each morning You can talk to God and ask
Him to guide your day and ask the Holy Spirit to remind you of Jesus throughout the day
You can ask God to help you make right choices Try to make it a habit to think of God during the day just as you might think of a best friend Jesus is your friend isnrsquot He
Put God first and just see how good your day really can be Godrsquos Word works
ldquoIn everything you do put God first and He will crown your efforts with successrdquo (Proverbs 36)
With my four children - all two years apart in age - we have a very busy
home especially when we have to get ready for school and church in the mornings
On school mornings the kids drag out of bed hurry to get dressed and brush their teeth gobble down a bowl of cereal get their lunch and backpack ready and finally out the door they go Does it ever happen like that at your houseI
But wait a minute we forgot something - or Someone What about God In our rush to get out the door did we even think about God Did we even think to talk and acknowledge Him As our Bible verse says today ldquoIF you want God to crown you with success -
success is everything that is good - THEN you have to put Him firstrdquo

Mercy and grace and favor did come by Jesus Christ and also that truth which verified the promises and predictions concerning Him and which exposed and corrected the various errors which had been imbibed respecting the Supreme Being His attributes laws and dispensa-tions
By conveying the Bible to people we certainly do them a most interesting act of kindness We thereby enable them to learn that man was originally created and placed in a state of happiness but be-
coming disobedient was subjected to the degradation and evils which he and his posterity have since experienced The Bi-ble will also inform them that our gracious Creator has provided for us a Redeemer in whom all the nations of the earth should be blessed ndash that this Redeemer has made atonement ldquofor the sins of the whole worldrdquo and thereby reconciling the Divine justice with the Divine mercy has opened a way for our redemption and salvation and that these inestimable ben-efits are of the free gift and grace of God not of our deserving nor in our power to deserve The Bible will also [encourage] them with many explicit and consoling as-surances of the Divine mercy to our fallen race and with repeated invitations to accept the offers of pardon and reconcili-ation They therefore who enlist in His service have the highest encourage-ment to fulfill the dunotties assigned to their respective stations for most certain it is that those of His followers who [partici-
pate in] His conquests will also participate in the trannotscendent glories and blessings of His Triumph
I recommend a general and public return of praise and thanksgiving to Him from whose goodness these blessings descend The most effectual means of securing the continuance of our civil and religious liberties is always to remember with reverence and gratitude the source from which they flow
The Bible is the best of all books for it is the word of God and teaches us the way to be happy in this world and in the next Continue therefore to read it and to regulate your life by its precepts
[T]he evidence of the truth of Christianity requires only to be carefully examined to produce conviction in candid minds they who undertake that task will derive advan-tages
Providence has given to our people the choice of their rulers and it is the duty as well as the privilege and interest of our Christian nation to select and prefer Chris-tians for their rulers
THOMAS JEFFERSONSIGNER OF THE DECLARATION OF INDE-PENDENCE DIPLOMAT GOVERNOR OF VIRGINIA SECRETARY OF STATE THIRD PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES
The doctrines of Jesus are simple and tend all to the happiness of man
The practice of morality being necessary for the well being of society He [God] has taken care to impress its precepts so indelibly on our hearts that they shall not be effaced by the subtleties of our brain We all agree in the obligation of the moral principles of Jesus and nowhere will they be found deliv-ered in greater purity than in His discourses
I am a Christian in the only sense in which He wished anyone to be sincerely attached to His doctrines in preference to all others
I am a real Christian ndash that is to say a dis-
ciple of the doctrines of Jesus Christ
JAMES KENTJUDGE LAW PROFESSOR ldquoFATHER OF AMERICAN JURISPRUDENCErdquo
My children I wish to talk to you During my early and middle life I was perhaps rather skeptical with regard to some of the truths of Christianity Not that I did not have the utmost respect for religion and always read my Bible but the doc-trine of the atonement was one I never could understand and I felt inclined to consider as impossible to be received in the way Divines taught it I believe I was rather inclined to Unitarianism but of late years my views have altered I believe in the doctrines of the prayer books as I understand them and hope to be saved through the merits of Jesus Christ My object in telling you this is that if anything happens to me you might know and perhaps it would console you to remember that on this point my mind is clear I rest my hopes of salvation on the Lord Jesus Christ
FRANCIS SCOTT KEYU S ATTORNEY FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA AUTHOR OF THE ldquoSTAR SPANGLED BANNERrdquo
[M]ay I always hear that you are follow-ing the guidance of that blessed Spirit that will lead you into all truth leaning on that Almighty arm that has been extend-ed to deliver you trusting only in the only
Savior and go-ing on in your way to Him rejoic-ing
It is so important for the Body of Jesus Christ to
realize that we must handle the wealth of this world in order to reach this world The revival we are entering is of such a great magnitude that believers everywhere are going to be required to grow in all aspects in order to participate That will certainly mean financial growth
The prophet Haggai spoke of this revival of the nations
Yet once it is a while and I will shake the heavens and the earth and the sea and the dry land and I will shake all nations and the desire of all nations shall come and I will fill this house with glory saith the Lord of hosts The silver is mine and the gold is mine saith the Lord of hosts The glory of this latter house shall be greater than the former saith the Lord of hosts and in this place will I give peace saith the Lord of hosts (Hag 26-9)
God declares that His glory will be revealed in the nations In the middle of this prophecy He speaks of the silver and the gold being His It may first seem to be out of place but then you see that for the nations to be affected and for the glory of God to be revealed in the house of God the gold and silver must be moved out of the hands of the nations - the world - and into the hands of His nation the Church
There is a shifting of wealth ahead in the earth Wealth is to come into the hands of godly men and women who will bring glory to God with it The wealth of this earth is not here to satisfy the lusts and greed of the perverted It is here to bring the freedom of Jesus Christ to the na-tions It is to bring glory to God
If you will not be afraid of the responsibil-ity of wealth God will show you how to increase in a greater measure
Too many people have put the responsi-bility for their development and advance-ment in the hands of God when He has clearly put it in their hands
Galatians 67 says it this way ldquoA manrsquos harvest in life will depend entirely on what he sowsrdquo (Phillips)
The context of this verse is the money given to those who teach the Word of God You establish your own harvest by your giving to Godrsquos work
In Galatians 68 Paul says ldquoFor he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption but he that soweth

to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlastingrdquo
Certainly this verse reaches beyond the financial realm But the context is regarding giving Our giving and honoring God with tithes and offerings is sowing to the spirit Your money reaches into the spirit realm
You can see this is in the words of the angel of the Lord sent to Cornelius who had hon-ored God
There was a certain man in Caesarea called Cornelius a centurion of the band called the Italian band a devout man and one that feared God with all his house which gave much alms to the people and prayed to God always He saw in a vision evidently about the ninth hour of the day an angel of God coming in to him and saying unto him Cornelius And when he looked on him he was afraid and said What is it Lord And he said unto him Thy prayers and thine alms are come up for a memorial before God (Acts 101-4)
Here is a man hungry for the reality of God reaching out in the only way he knew He prayed and he gave The angel said that his praying and giving had built a memorial be-fore God He had entered into the spirit realm with prayer and giving The money he gave went up before God in the Spirit and became an evidence of his hunger and honor for God
His faith and hunger for God resulted in the Apostle Peter receiving a vision that commis-sioned him to bring the gospel to the Gentiles as well as to the Jews (Acts 109-48)
Your praying and giving in faith bring your needs into the presence of God It is the very evidence that you are looking to Him and not to your own ability to meet your needs or change your circumstances When you honor Him He will direct you and guide your steps
There is a final aspect of what your giving will do that I must include here In 2 Corinthians 9 the Holy Spirit through Paul summarizes this principle
He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully Ev-ery man according as he purposeth in his heart so let him give not grudgingly or of necessity for God loveth a cheerful giver And God is able to make all grace abound toward you that ye always having sufficiency in all things may abound to every good work (2 Cor 96-8)
Paul said that all grace would abound toward you The various aspects of grace that bring Godrsquos ability to you for any area of life will increase according to your giving and sowing into the kingdom of God
That puts the growth and advancement in your life within your influence Your will-ingness to honor God with your wealth and to reach out in faith to give brings you to a place of Godrsquos ability multiplying on your behalf
To say it once again Galatians 67 in the Phillips translation is the most powerful and clear summary of this entire subject ldquoA manrsquos harvest in life will depend entirely on what he sowsrdquo
Your harvest can change if you will choose to sow the right seeds Let Godrsquos grace for giving be multiplied in you

Three Things Dating is NotDating is not really a biblical word at all That doesnrsquot mean itrsquos wrong to go out with someone on a ldquodaterdquo But it is important to remember what the Bible has to say about develop-ing romantic friendships
If you begin dating without some clear guidelines and boundaries you are headed for disaster Take a quick glance at what dating is not
Dating is not for those who arenrsquot ready In my opinion dating shouldnrsquot even be a consideration until a young person is at least 16 years old
Thatrsquos been ldquothe Lawrdquo with my three teenage boys and theyrsquore doing just fine with it That doesnrsquot mean you canrsquot have good friendships with the opposite sex just keep things in a group environment
Dating is not a great way to ldquoreally get to know someonerdquo Why Be-cause everyone is on best behavior during a date
If you really want to get to know someone watch the person at school every day or both of you get a job together at McDonaldrsquos Eight straight hours over a hot greaser full of fries will tell you the real tale
Dating is not all itrsquos cracked up to be Think about two people out together who hardly know each other Theyrsquore young and have limited social skills They have to try to create awkward conversation for hours on end
The point is itrsquos usually a whole lot easier to get to know someone among a group of other friends who can help fill those awkward mo-ments keeping things fun
Seven Keys to Remembering What You Studied

Take good notesmdasheven if your mind tells you it has the ability to ldquoremember all thingsrdquo Talk with a friend or parent later that day about what you learnedmdasheven if itrsquos spiced

Pray and ask God to bring those things yoursquove learned back to your remembrance (John 1426)

Following a meeting last week between leading Lebanese legislator Sarsquoad Hariri and Russian leaders
Hariri was quoted by Russian me-dia this weekend as saying Russia will sell heavy weaponry to Leba-non Previously Hariri said that he hoped Russia would help Leb-anon claim Mt Dov from Israel Russia is ex-pecting Lebanon to recognize the independence of the breakaway Georgian dis-tricts of Abkha-zia and South Ossetia
Hariri the son of the assassinat-ed popular former Prime Minister Rafik Hariri represents the West-ern-backed majority in the Leba-nese parliament Russia will ldquohelp the Lebanese armyrdquo the Vremia Novosti newspaper quoted Hariri as saying ldquowhich needs heavy weaponsrdquo such as tanks and artil-lery American military aid Hariri told Russian media only consists of light arms
Lebanese Defense Minister Elias Murr is to visit Moscow in coming weeks when the details of the arms deal will be finalized The Russian state arms export firm Rosobo-ronexport has been boycotted by the United States government for arms deals with Iran North Korea
and Syria
In early October Prime Minister Ehud Olmert met with Russian President Dmitry Medvedev and urged him not to approve the sale of weapons to Iran and Syria It was imperative he told the Russian leader to ldquopre-
vent weapons from Syria from reaching extrem-ist elements in Lebanon such as Hizbullahrdquo
Mt Dov and Ab-khazia-S Ossetia - Quid Pro Quo
Last week during an official visit to Moscow by Hariri
and other legislators Lebanese media strongly emphasized Haririrsquos expres-sion of his appreciation for Russiarsquos role in working towards an Israeli with-drawal from the Mt Dov area (called ldquoShabrsquoa Farmsrdquo in Lebanon) along the Israeli border with Lebanon A report published by the Beirut-based English-language Daily Star was en-titled ldquoHariri Looks to Russia to Help Liberate Shabrsquoa Farmsrdquo although the article itself did not present any direct quote on the matter from Lebanese or Russian officials
After his meeting with Hariri Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said that Rus-sia was against foreign interference in Lebanese domestic affairs It was not clear if he was referring to actions

RUSSIA TO SELL HEAVY ARMS TO LEBANON
Mike Huckabee wouldnrsquot rule out a 2012 run for president Wednesday but
he acknowledged it could be hard to take back the spotlight from fellow Republican Sarah Palin ldquoIrsquom not ruling anything out for the future but Irsquom not making any specific plansrdquo Huckabee told reporters at a briefing to promote his new book ldquoDo the Right Thingrdquo
ldquoItrsquos not something Irsquom sitting around thinking aboutrdquo
Huckabee a former Arkansas governor said he expects Palin
to continue to have a leading voice in the Republican Party though he acknowledged he was envious of
her meteoric rise after Sen John McCain brought her out of relative ob-scurity as gov-ernor of Alaska to run with him this year as the vice presiden-tial candidate
Huckabee credited Palin
with energizing McCainrsquos campaign and said that her surprise selec-tion for the GOP ticket helped her to ldquoleapfrog over the processrdquo that other Republicans _ including himself _ had to endure to become national political figures
ldquoIrsquom not frustrated by itrdquo Hucka-bee said ldquoItrsquos not a resentment on her part Itrsquos an envyrdquo
Huckabee plans to stay on the national political stage through his shows hersquoll host on Fox News Channel and ABC Radio
The former Arkansas governor ran a scrappy but underfunded presidential campaign this year staying in the race until March when McCain secured enough delegates to win the nomination All the other serious Republican contenders had dropped out weeks before
Huckabee ran as a religious conservative though many conservative leaders wouldnrsquot support him Despite a lack of money Huckabee won the leadoff caucuses in Iowa and seven other states His book tour will take him to Iowa later this month
Huckabee and McCain had a cordial relationship during the campaign but Huckabee clearly didnrsquot like former Massachusetts Gov Mitt Romney another con-tender for the GOP nomination
In his book Huckabee slams Romney for changing positions on issues such as abortion rights and gay marriage
ldquoHe spent more time on the road to Damascus than a Syrian camel driver And we thought nobody could fill John Kerryrsquos
flip-flopsrdquo Huckabee wrote
Romneyrsquos record he wrote ldquowas anything but conservative until he changed all the light-bulbs in his chandelier in time to run for presidentrdquo
A spokesman for Romney dis-missed Huckabeersquos comments in the book as ldquopetty stuffrdquo
ldquoWe need to focus on mov-ing the party forward with new ideasrdquo Romney spokesman Eric Fehrnstrom said ldquoUnfortu-nately Mike Huckabee seems more interested in settling scores than bringing people togetherrdquo
Huckabee said Wednesday he was simply writing with the same candor he showed dur-ing the campaign
ldquoThere was obvious tension and again it wasnrsquot just me but with other candidates and so I addressed where that came fromrdquo Huckabee said ldquoOne of the things people came to believe that they would get from me was can-dorrdquo
ldquoIf I had written this book and totally ignored some of the obvious issues that were there I think people would have said the book lacked credibility and candorrdquo he said

nuclear reactor
The documents were being shared with the 35 nations on the IAEArsquos board
On Syria the agency also said that soil samples taken from the bombed site had a ldquosignificant num-berrdquo of chemically processed natu-ral uranium particles A senior UN official who demanded anonymity because the information was restricted said the findings were unusual for a facility that Syria alleges had no nuclear purpose
The same official char-acterized UN attempts to elicit answers from Tehran on al-legations that it had drafted plans for nuclear weapons programs as at a standstill
The Syrian report said ldquoit cannot be excludedrdquo that the building de-stroyed in a remote stretch of the Syrian desert on Sept 6 2007 was ldquointended for non-nuclear userdquo
Still ldquothe features of the building are similar to what may be found in connection with a reactor siterdquo it said suggesting facilityrsquos size also fits that picture
The report took note of Syrian as-sertions that any uranium particles found at the site must have come from Israeli missiles that hit the building near the town of Al Kibar And it cited Damascus officials as saying the IAEA samples contained only a ldquovery limited numberrdquo of such particles
But the report spoke of a ldquosignificant
number of particlesrdquo found in the samples
The senior UN official said ldquothe onus of this investigation is on Syr-iardquo and noted that the traces were not of depleted uranium mdash the most commonly used variety of the met-al in ammunition meant to harden ordnance for increased penetra-
tion
Satellite imagery made public in the wake of the Israeli attack noted that the Syrians subsequent-ly removed substantial amounts of topsoil and entombed the building in concrete But the report also suggested similar activities at three other
Syrian sites of IAEA interest
ldquoAnalysis of satellite imagery taken of these locations indicates that landscaping activities and the re-moval of large containers took place shortly after the agencyrsquos re-quest for accessrdquo it said
Beyond one visit in June to the Al Kibar site Syria has refused IAEA requests to return to that location and examine the three other sites citing the need to protect its military secrets
In addition said the report ldquoSyria has not yet provided the requested documentationrdquo to back up its as-sertions that the bombed building was a non-nuclear military facility
Iran denies such plans saying it wants to enrich for a future large-scale civilian nuclear program But suspicions have been compounded by its monthslong refusal to answer IAEA questions based on US Is-

This is where you and I have to choose to live by His Word and not by our natural reasoning if we want to win Well Rory you may say if I knew what God was saying about my situation I would do it I just donrsquot know what God is saying about my situation
That is precisely what I am talking about here friend The only way we are ever go-ing to know what God is saying about our situations is if we are doing what Jesus commanded us to do in John chapter 15
When we learn to live in the Word then His Word will begin speaking to us

RUSSIA TO SELL HEAVY ARMS TO LEBANON
by Syria Israel or other foreign in-terventions
The Iran-controlled Lebanese ter-rorist organization Hizbullah in the meantime said recently that an Is-raeli withdrawal from Mt Dov would only be a start The group claims seven Arab villages in northern Is-rael are actually Lebanese In any event both Iran and Hizbullah have repeatedly made it clear that they do not believe Israel should exist at
all regardless of bor-der demarcations A Hizbullah spokesman said last week that the group would not give up it arms until Lebanon had another force capa-ble of confronting Israel
Touching on Lebanese policy towards matters in the Slavic states Hariri was quoted as saying that Lebanon may well recognize the indepen-dence of the breakaway Georgian districts of
South Ossetia and Abkhazia The Russian Vremya Novostei news-paper quoted Hariri as saying ldquoWe will fine tune contacts with South Ossetia and Abkhazia now For example delegations of Lebanese businessmen will be leaving for there soonrdquo Russia has backed the secession of the regions from Georgia including launching a war in their defense in August of this year
In his last Thanksgiving as the Commander in Chief Tuesday President Bush thanked US
troops for a ldquojob well donerdquo noting that even though thousands of soldiers are returning home the war is not yet over
During his visit to Fort Campbell Ky Bush offered comfort for troops coming back home and for those who are pre-paring to deploy again In November alone more than 10000 soldiers had returned to the military base most of them from Iraq
In recent weeks this post has been the scene of heart-warming family reunionsrdquo he said ldquoMany of you have recently finished deployments to Iraq You performed with cour-age and distinction on the front lines of the war on terror You have returned on successrdquo
Still the President warned that ldquothe war in Iraq is not overrdquo and
stressed the importance of victory in the country
ldquoSuccess will frustrate Iranrsquos ambi-tions to dominate the region Suc-cess will show millions across the Middle East that a future of liberty and
democracy is possible Suc-cess will deny al-Qaeda a safe haven for launching new attacksrdquo Bush said ldquoSuccess in Iraq will mean that the Ameri-can people are more secure at homerdquo
Over the next few weeks the White House says 3000 soldiers from the 101st Airborne will deploy to Afghani-stan while 450 will be sent to Iraq In January another 1200 will be de-ployed to Iraq from Fort Campbell
Bush called the work of the troops ldquohistoricalrdquo and and said he expected their efforts in Iraq will resonate far beyond the country and into history books

A tremendous pyramid of evidence for design and recent cre-ation is available for detailed study
Romans 120 states ldquoFor the invisible things of him from the creation are clearly seen being understood by the things that are made even his eternal power and Godhead so that they are without excuserdquo1 Human Artifacts throughout the Geologic ColumnMan-made artifacts - such as the hammer in Cretaceous rock a human sandal print with trilobite in Cambrian rock human foot-prints and a handprint in Cretaceous rock ndash point to the fact that all the supposed geologic periods actually occurred at the same time in the recent past11
2 Helium Content in Earthrsquos Atmosphere Physicist Melvin Cook found that helium-4 enters our atmosphere from solar wind and radioactive decay of uranium At present rates our at-mosphere would accumulate current helium-4 amounts in less than 10000 years12
3 Expansion of Space FabricAstronomical estimates of the distance to various galaxies gives conflicting data13 The Bibli-cal Record refers to the expansion of space by the Creator14 Astrophysicist Russell Humphries demonstrates that such space expansion would dilate time in distant space15 This could explain a recent creation with great distances to the stars
4 Design in Living SystemsA living cell is so awesomely complex that its interdependent components stagger the imagi-nation and defy evolutionary explanations A minimal cell con-tains over 60000 proteins of 100 different configurations16 The chance of this assemblage occurring by chance is 1 in 10 4478296 17
5 Design in the Human BrainThe human brain is the most complicated structure in the known universe18 It contains over 100 billion cells each with over 50000 neuron connections to other brain cells19 This structure receives over 100 million separate signals from the total human body every second If we learned something new every second of our lives it would take three million years to exhaust the capacity of the human brain 20 In addition to conscious thought people can actually reason anticipate consequences and devise plans - all without know-ing they are doing so21

Fugitive terrorist Osama bin Laden is planning new attacks against the US that will ldquooutdo by farrdquo the attacks of 911
according to a report in a London-based Arabic newspaper
The paper Al-Quds Al-Arabi quotes a former senior Yemeni al-Qaida official saying the terror group is now in a ldquopositive phaserdquo of staff-ing and rebuilding training camps around the globe The action will lead to the next ldquowave of actionrdquo against the US the paper reported
ldquoThis will be shown by the fact that we now control a major part of the south of Somaliardquo the Yemeni source told the paper
According to the report bin Laden is personally involved in the preparations and is looking to ldquochange the face of world politics and econom-icsrdquo
The paper is edited by Abdel al-Bari Atwan the last journalist to interview bin Laden in 1996The Yemeni operative says he remains in contact with current al-Qaida chiefs He claims
BIN LADEN PLANS NEW ATTACKS BIGGER THAN 911
GOODYEAR
bin Laden sent a message to all jihad cells in the Arab world six months ago urging them not to interact with their governments or local political parties
More signs of al-Qaidarsquos violent intentions are expected over the next few days the paper reported
The al-Qaida warning comes just one day after The Telegraph newspaper published a leaked government report showing thousands of extremists are active in the UK The document says the operatives are mostly native Brits between 18 and 30 Many have been trained in overseas terrorist camps
Security officials warned that al-Qaida will attempt another ldquospectacularrdquo in the UK likely focused on airports or train stations The Telegraph reported Other potential targets include the Houses of Parliament and Whitehall Buckingham and St Jamesrsquo palaces

Lauren Richardson sustained a severe brain injury in August 2006 according to an Alli-ance Defense Fund (ADF) press release The doctors then declared she would be in a ldquopersistent vegetative staterdquo ADF attorney Matt Bowman tells OneNews-Now Laurenrsquos mother was fighting to have Laurenrsquos feeding tube and water discontin-ued but she had a change of heart ldquoThe

Laurenrsquos mother became a born-again Christian and visited her daughter at her hospital facility which Bowman believes was quite eye-opening ldquoAnd then an amazing thing happenedrdquo he notes ldquoShe told Lauren that Lauren would be cared for and Lauren started crying and they cried together and she realized that her daughter was really there and was really respondingrdquo Lauren was also responding to pain music family membersrsquo voices touch and assisted exercise The parents have agreed to settle the case and share joint guardianship of Lauren

Mercy and grace and favor did come by Jesus Christ and also that truth which verified the promises and predictions concerning Him and which exposed and corrected the various errors which had been imbibed respecting the Supreme Being His attributes laws and dispensa-tions
By conveying the Bible to people we certainly do them a most interesting act of kindness We thereby enable them to learn that man was originally created and placed in a state of happiness but be-
coming disobedient was subjected to the degradation and evils which he and his posterity have since experienced The Bi-ble will also inform them that our gracious Creator has provided for us a Redeemer in whom all the nations of the earth should be blessed ndash that this Redeemer has made atonement ldquofor the sins of the whole worldrdquo and thereby reconciling the Divine justice with the Divine mercy has opened a way for our redemption and salvation and that these inestimable ben-efits are of the free gift and grace of God not of our deserving nor in our power to deserve The Bible will also [encourage] them with many explicit and consoling as-surances of the Divine mercy to our fallen race and with repeated invitations to accept the offers of pardon and reconcili-ation They therefore who enlist in His service have the highest encourage-ment to fulfill the dunotties assigned to their respective stations for most certain it is that those of His followers who [partici-
pate in] His conquests will also participate in the trannotscendent glories and blessings of His Triumph
I recommend a general and public return of praise and thanksgiving to Him from whose goodness these blessings descend The most effectual means of securing the continuance of our civil and religious liberties is always to remember with reverence and gratitude the source from which they flow
The Bible is the best of all books for it is the word of God and teaches us the way to be happy in this world and in the next Continue therefore to read it and to regulate your life by its precepts
[T]he evidence of the truth of Christianity requires only to be carefully examined to produce conviction in candid minds they who undertake that task will derive advan-tages
Providence has given to our people the choice of their rulers and it is the duty as well as the privilege and interest of our Christian nation to select and prefer Chris-tians for their rulers
THOMAS JEFFERSONSIGNER OF THE DECLARATION OF INDE-PENDENCE DIPLOMAT GOVERNOR OF VIRGINIA SECRETARY OF STATE THIRD PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES
The doctrines of Jesus are simple and tend all to the happiness of man
The practice of morality being necessary for the well being of society He [God] has taken care to impress its precepts so indelibly on our hearts that they shall not be effaced by the subtleties of our brain We all agree in the obligation of the moral principles of Jesus and nowhere will they be found deliv-ered in greater purity than in His discourses
I am a Christian in the only sense in which He wished anyone to be sincerely attached to His doctrines in preference to all others
I am a real Christian ndash that is to say a dis-
ciple of the doctrines of Jesus Christ
JAMES KENTJUDGE LAW PROFESSOR ldquoFATHER OF AMERICAN JURISPRUDENCErdquo
My children I wish to talk to you During my early and middle life I was perhaps rather skeptical with regard to some of the truths of Christianity Not that I did not have the utmost respect for religion and always read my Bible but the doc-trine of the atonement was one I never could understand and I felt inclined to consider as impossible to be received in the way Divines taught it I believe I was rather inclined to Unitarianism but of late years my views have altered I believe in the doctrines of the prayer books as I understand them and hope to be saved through the merits of Jesus Christ My object in telling you this is that if anything happens to me you might know and perhaps it would console you to remember that on this point my mind is clear I rest my hopes of salvation on the Lord Jesus Christ
FRANCIS SCOTT KEYU S ATTORNEY FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA AUTHOR OF THE ldquoSTAR SPANGLED BANNERrdquo
[M]ay I always hear that you are follow-ing the guidance of that blessed Spirit that will lead you into all truth leaning on that Almighty arm that has been extend-ed to deliver you trusting only in the only
Savior and go-ing on in your way to Him rejoic-ing
It is so important for the Body of Jesus Christ to
realize that we must handle the wealth of this world in order to reach this world The revival we are entering is of such a great magnitude that believers everywhere are going to be required to grow in all aspects in order to participate That will certainly mean financial growth
The prophet Haggai spoke of this revival of the nations
Yet once it is a while and I will shake the heavens and the earth and the sea and the dry land and I will shake all nations and the desire of all nations shall come and I will fill this house with glory saith the Lord of hosts The silver is mine and the gold is mine saith the Lord of hosts The glory of this latter house shall be greater than the former saith the Lord of hosts and in this place will I give peace saith the Lord of hosts (Hag 26-9)
God declares that His glory will be revealed in the nations In the middle of this prophecy He speaks of the silver and the gold being His It may first seem to be out of place but then you see that for the nations to be affected and for the glory of God to be revealed in the house of God the gold and silver must be moved out of the hands of the nations - the world - and into the hands of His nation the Church
There is a shifting of wealth ahead in the earth Wealth is to come into the hands of godly men and women who will bring glory to God with it The wealth of this earth is not here to satisfy the lusts and greed of the perverted It is here to bring the freedom of Jesus Christ to the na-tions It is to bring glory to God
If you will not be afraid of the responsibil-ity of wealth God will show you how to increase in a greater measure
Too many people have put the responsi-bility for their development and advance-ment in the hands of God when He has clearly put it in their hands
Galatians 67 says it this way ldquoA manrsquos harvest in life will depend entirely on what he sowsrdquo (Phillips)
The context of this verse is the money given to those who teach the Word of God You establish your own harvest by your giving to Godrsquos work
In Galatians 68 Paul says ldquoFor he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption but he that soweth

to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlastingrdquo
Certainly this verse reaches beyond the financial realm But the context is regarding giving Our giving and honoring God with tithes and offerings is sowing to the spirit Your money reaches into the spirit realm
You can see this is in the words of the angel of the Lord sent to Cornelius who had hon-ored God
There was a certain man in Caesarea called Cornelius a centurion of the band called the Italian band a devout man and one that feared God with all his house which gave much alms to the people and prayed to God always He saw in a vision evidently about the ninth hour of the day an angel of God coming in to him and saying unto him Cornelius And when he looked on him he was afraid and said What is it Lord And he said unto him Thy prayers and thine alms are come up for a memorial before God (Acts 101-4)
Here is a man hungry for the reality of God reaching out in the only way he knew He prayed and he gave The angel said that his praying and giving had built a memorial be-fore God He had entered into the spirit realm with prayer and giving The money he gave went up before God in the Spirit and became an evidence of his hunger and honor for God
His faith and hunger for God resulted in the Apostle Peter receiving a vision that commis-sioned him to bring the gospel to the Gentiles as well as to the Jews (Acts 109-48)
Your praying and giving in faith bring your needs into the presence of God It is the very evidence that you are looking to Him and not to your own ability to meet your needs or change your circumstances When you honor Him He will direct you and guide your steps
There is a final aspect of what your giving will do that I must include here In 2 Corinthians 9 the Holy Spirit through Paul summarizes this principle
He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully Ev-ery man according as he purposeth in his heart so let him give not grudgingly or of necessity for God loveth a cheerful giver And God is able to make all grace abound toward you that ye always having sufficiency in all things may abound to every good work (2 Cor 96-8)
Paul said that all grace would abound toward you The various aspects of grace that bring Godrsquos ability to you for any area of life will increase according to your giving and sowing into the kingdom of God
That puts the growth and advancement in your life within your influence Your will-ingness to honor God with your wealth and to reach out in faith to give brings you to a place of Godrsquos ability multiplying on your behalf
To say it once again Galatians 67 in the Phillips translation is the most powerful and clear summary of this entire subject ldquoA manrsquos harvest in life will depend entirely on what he sowsrdquo
Your harvest can change if you will choose to sow the right seeds Let Godrsquos grace for giving be multiplied in you

Three Things Dating is NotDating is not really a biblical word at all That doesnrsquot mean itrsquos wrong to go out with someone on a ldquodaterdquo But it is important to remember what the Bible has to say about develop-ing romantic friendships
If you begin dating without some clear guidelines and boundaries you are headed for disaster Take a quick glance at what dating is not
Dating is not for those who arenrsquot ready In my opinion dating shouldnrsquot even be a consideration until a young person is at least 16 years old
Thatrsquos been ldquothe Lawrdquo with my three teenage boys and theyrsquore doing just fine with it That doesnrsquot mean you canrsquot have good friendships with the opposite sex just keep things in a group environment
Dating is not a great way to ldquoreally get to know someonerdquo Why Be-cause everyone is on best behavior during a date
If you really want to get to know someone watch the person at school every day or both of you get a job together at McDonaldrsquos Eight straight hours over a hot greaser full of fries will tell you the real tale
Dating is not all itrsquos cracked up to be Think about two people out together who hardly know each other Theyrsquore young and have limited social skills They have to try to create awkward conversation for hours on end
The point is itrsquos usually a whole lot easier to get to know someone among a group of other friends who can help fill those awkward mo-ments keeping things fun

Following a meeting last week between leading Lebanese legislator Sarsquoad Hariri and Russian leaders
Hariri was quoted by Russian me-dia this weekend as saying Russia will sell heavy weaponry to Leba-non Previously Hariri said that he hoped Russia would help Leb-anon claim Mt Dov from Israel Russia is ex-pecting Lebanon to recognize the independence of the breakaway Georgian dis-tricts of Abkha-zia and South Ossetia
Hariri the son of the assassinat-ed popular former Prime Minister Rafik Hariri represents the West-ern-backed majority in the Leba-nese parliament Russia will ldquohelp the Lebanese armyrdquo the Vremia Novosti newspaper quoted Hariri as saying ldquowhich needs heavy weaponsrdquo such as tanks and artil-lery American military aid Hariri told Russian media only consists of light arms
Lebanese Defense Minister Elias Murr is to visit Moscow in coming weeks when the details of the arms deal will be finalized The Russian state arms export firm Rosobo-ronexport has been boycotted by the United States government for arms deals with Iran North Korea
and Syria
In early October Prime Minister Ehud Olmert met with Russian President Dmitry Medvedev and urged him not to approve the sale of weapons to Iran and Syria It was imperative he told the Russian leader to ldquopre-
vent weapons from Syria from reaching extrem-ist elements in Lebanon such as Hizbullahrdquo
Mt Dov and Ab-khazia-S Ossetia - Quid Pro Quo
Last week during an official visit to Moscow by Hariri
and other legislators Lebanese media strongly emphasized Haririrsquos expres-sion of his appreciation for Russiarsquos role in working towards an Israeli with-drawal from the Mt Dov area (called ldquoShabrsquoa Farmsrdquo in Lebanon) along the Israeli border with Lebanon A report published by the Beirut-based English-language Daily Star was en-titled ldquoHariri Looks to Russia to Help Liberate Shabrsquoa Farmsrdquo although the article itself did not present any direct quote on the matter from Lebanese or Russian officials
After his meeting with Hariri Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said that Rus-sia was against foreign interference in Lebanese domestic affairs It was not clear if he was referring to actions

RUSSIA TO SELL HEAVY ARMS TO LEBANON
Mike Huckabee wouldnrsquot rule out a 2012 run for president Wednesday but
he acknowledged it could be hard to take back the spotlight from fellow Republican Sarah Palin ldquoIrsquom not ruling anything out for the future but Irsquom not making any specific plansrdquo Huckabee told reporters at a briefing to promote his new book ldquoDo the Right Thingrdquo
ldquoItrsquos not something Irsquom sitting around thinking aboutrdquo
Huckabee a former Arkansas governor said he expects Palin
to continue to have a leading voice in the Republican Party though he acknowledged he was envious of
her meteoric rise after Sen John McCain brought her out of relative ob-scurity as gov-ernor of Alaska to run with him this year as the vice presiden-tial candidate
Huckabee credited Palin
with energizing McCainrsquos campaign and said that her surprise selec-tion for the GOP ticket helped her to ldquoleapfrog over the processrdquo that other Republicans _ including himself _ had to endure to become national political figures
ldquoIrsquom not frustrated by itrdquo Hucka-bee said ldquoItrsquos not a resentment on her part Itrsquos an envyrdquo
Huckabee plans to stay on the national political stage through his shows hersquoll host on Fox News Channel and ABC Radio
The former Arkansas governor ran a scrappy but underfunded presidential campaign this year staying in the race until March when McCain secured enough delegates to win the nomination All the other serious Republican contenders had dropped out weeks before
Huckabee ran as a religious conservative though many conservative leaders wouldnrsquot support him Despite a lack of money Huckabee won the leadoff caucuses in Iowa and seven other states His book tour will take him to Iowa later this month
Huckabee and McCain had a cordial relationship during the campaign but Huckabee clearly didnrsquot like former Massachusetts Gov Mitt Romney another con-tender for the GOP nomination
In his book Huckabee slams Romney for changing positions on issues such as abortion rights and gay marriage
ldquoHe spent more time on the road to Damascus than a Syrian camel driver And we thought nobody could fill John Kerryrsquos
flip-flopsrdquo Huckabee wrote
Romneyrsquos record he wrote ldquowas anything but conservative until he changed all the light-bulbs in his chandelier in time to run for presidentrdquo
A spokesman for Romney dis-missed Huckabeersquos comments in the book as ldquopetty stuffrdquo
ldquoWe need to focus on mov-ing the party forward with new ideasrdquo Romney spokesman Eric Fehrnstrom said ldquoUnfortu-nately Mike Huckabee seems more interested in settling scores than bringing people togetherrdquo
Huckabee said Wednesday he was simply writing with the same candor he showed dur-ing the campaign
ldquoThere was obvious tension and again it wasnrsquot just me but with other candidates and so I addressed where that came fromrdquo Huckabee said ldquoOne of the things people came to believe that they would get from me was can-dorrdquo
ldquoIf I had written this book and totally ignored some of the obvious issues that were there I think people would have said the book lacked credibility and candorrdquo he said

nuclear reactor
The documents were being shared with the 35 nations on the IAEArsquos board
On Syria the agency also said that soil samples taken from the bombed site had a ldquosignificant num-berrdquo of chemically processed natu-ral uranium particles A senior UN official who demanded anonymity because the information was restricted said the findings were unusual for a facility that Syria alleges had no nuclear purpose
The same official char-acterized UN attempts to elicit answers from Tehran on al-legations that it had drafted plans for nuclear weapons programs as at a standstill
The Syrian report said ldquoit cannot be excludedrdquo that the building de-stroyed in a remote stretch of the Syrian desert on Sept 6 2007 was ldquointended for non-nuclear userdquo
Still ldquothe features of the building are similar to what may be found in connection with a reactor siterdquo it said suggesting facilityrsquos size also fits that picture
The report took note of Syrian as-sertions that any uranium particles found at the site must have come from Israeli missiles that hit the building near the town of Al Kibar And it cited Damascus officials as saying the IAEA samples contained only a ldquovery limited numberrdquo of such particles
But the report spoke of a ldquosignificant
number of particlesrdquo found in the samples
The senior UN official said ldquothe onus of this investigation is on Syr-iardquo and noted that the traces were not of depleted uranium mdash the most commonly used variety of the met-al in ammunition meant to harden ordnance for increased penetra-
tion
Satellite imagery made public in the wake of the Israeli attack noted that the Syrians subsequent-ly removed substantial amounts of topsoil and entombed the building in concrete But the report also suggested similar activities at three other
Syrian sites of IAEA interest
ldquoAnalysis of satellite imagery taken of these locations indicates that landscaping activities and the re-moval of large containers took place shortly after the agencyrsquos re-quest for accessrdquo it said
Beyond one visit in June to the Al Kibar site Syria has refused IAEA requests to return to that location and examine the three other sites citing the need to protect its military secrets
In addition said the report ldquoSyria has not yet provided the requested documentationrdquo to back up its as-sertions that the bombed building was a non-nuclear military facility
Iran denies such plans saying it wants to enrich for a future large-scale civilian nuclear program But suspicions have been compounded by its monthslong refusal to answer IAEA questions based on US Is-

That is precisely what I am talking about here friend The only way we are ever go-ing to know what God is saying about our situations is if we are doing what Jesus commanded us to do in John chapter 15

RUSSIA TO SELL HEAVY ARMS TO LEBANON
by Syria Israel or other foreign in-terventions
The Iran-controlled Lebanese ter-rorist organization Hizbullah in the meantime said recently that an Is-raeli withdrawal from Mt Dov would only be a start The group claims seven Arab villages in northern Is-rael are actually Lebanese In any event both Iran and Hizbullah have repeatedly made it clear that they do not believe Israel should exist at
all regardless of bor-der demarcations A Hizbullah spokesman said last week that the group would not give up it arms until Lebanon had another force capa-ble of confronting Israel
Touching on Lebanese policy towards matters in the Slavic states Hariri was quoted as saying that Lebanon may well recognize the indepen-dence of the breakaway Georgian districts of
South Ossetia and Abkhazia The Russian Vremya Novostei news-paper quoted Hariri as saying ldquoWe will fine tune contacts with South Ossetia and Abkhazia now For example delegations of Lebanese businessmen will be leaving for there soonrdquo Russia has backed the secession of the regions from Georgia including launching a war in their defense in August of this year
In his last Thanksgiving as the Commander in Chief Tuesday President Bush thanked US
troops for a ldquojob well donerdquo noting that even though thousands of soldiers are returning home the war is not yet over
During his visit to Fort Campbell Ky Bush offered comfort for troops coming back home and for those who are pre-paring to deploy again In November alone more than 10000 soldiers had returned to the military base most of them from Iraq
In recent weeks this post has been the scene of heart-warming family reunionsrdquo he said ldquoMany of you have recently finished deployments to Iraq You performed with cour-age and distinction on the front lines of the war on terror You have returned on successrdquo
Still the President warned that ldquothe war in Iraq is not overrdquo and
stressed the importance of victory in the country
ldquoSuccess will frustrate Iranrsquos ambi-tions to dominate the region Suc-cess will show millions across the Middle East that a future of liberty and
democracy is possible Suc-cess will deny al-Qaeda a safe haven for launching new attacksrdquo Bush said ldquoSuccess in Iraq will mean that the Ameri-can people are more secure at homerdquo
Over the next few weeks the White House says 3000 soldiers from the 101st Airborne will deploy to Afghani-stan while 450 will be sent to Iraq In January another 1200 will be de-ployed to Iraq from Fort Campbell
Bush called the work of the troops ldquohistoricalrdquo and and said he expected their efforts in Iraq will resonate far beyond the country and into history books

Fugitive terrorist Osama bin Laden is planning new attacks against the US that will ldquooutdo by farrdquo the attacks of 911
according to a report in a London-based Arabic newspaper
The paper Al-Quds Al-Arabi quotes a former senior Yemeni al-Qaida official saying the terror group is now in a ldquopositive phaserdquo of staff-ing and rebuilding training camps around the globe The action will lead to the next ldquowave of actionrdquo against the US the paper reported
ldquoThis will be shown by the fact that we now control a major part of the south of Somaliardquo the Yemeni source told the paper
According to the report bin Laden is personally involved in the preparations and is looking to ldquochange the face of world politics and econom-icsrdquo
The paper is edited by Abdel al-Bari Atwan the last journalist to interview bin Laden in 1996The Yemeni operative says he remains in contact with current al-Qaida chiefs He claims
BIN LADEN PLANS NEW ATTACKS BIGGER THAN 911
GOODYEAR
bin Laden sent a message to all jihad cells in the Arab world six months ago urging them not to interact with their governments or local political parties
More signs of al-Qaidarsquos violent intentions are expected over the next few days the paper reported
The al-Qaida warning comes just one day after The Telegraph newspaper published a leaked government report showing thousands of extremists are active in the UK The document says the operatives are mostly native Brits between 18 and 30 Many have been trained in overseas terrorist camps
Security officials warned that al-Qaida will attempt another ldquospectacularrdquo in the UK likely focused on airports or train stations The Telegraph reported Other potential targets include the Houses of Parliament and Whitehall Buckingham and St Jamesrsquo palaces
MIRACLErsquo TURNAROUND IN DELAWARE EUTHANASIA CASE
The Al-liance Defense
Fund has reached a favorable settlement in a lawsuit that pit-ted a divorced father and mother against
each another over whether their 24-year-old daughter should live
Lauren Richardson sustained a severe brain injury in August 2006 according to an Alli-ance Defense Fund (ADF) press release The doctors then declared she would be in a ldquopersistent vegetative staterdquo ADF attorney Matt Bowman tells OneNews-Now Laurenrsquos mother was fighting to have Laurenrsquos feeding tube and water discontin-ued but she had a change of heart ldquoThe

Laurenrsquos mother became a born-again Christian and visited her daughter at her hospital facility which Bowman believes was quite eye-opening ldquoAnd then an amazing thing happenedrdquo he notes ldquoShe told Lauren that Lauren would be cared for and Lauren started crying and they cried together and she realized that her daughter was really there and was really respondingrdquo Lauren was also responding to pain music family membersrsquo voices touch and assisted exercise The parents have agreed to settle the case and share joint guardianship of Lauren

Mercy and grace and favor did come by Jesus Christ and also that truth which verified the promises and predictions concerning Him and which exposed and corrected the various errors which had been imbibed respecting the Supreme Being His attributes laws and dispensa-tions
By conveying the Bible to people we certainly do them a most interesting act of kindness We thereby enable them to learn that man was originally created and placed in a state of happiness but be-
coming disobedient was subjected to the degradation and evils which he and his posterity have since experienced The Bi-ble will also inform them that our gracious Creator has provided for us a Redeemer in whom all the nations of the earth should be blessed ndash that this Redeemer has made atonement ldquofor the sins of the whole worldrdquo and thereby reconciling the Divine justice with the Divine mercy has opened a way for our redemption and salvation and that these inestimable ben-efits are of the free gift and grace of God not of our deserving nor in our power to deserve The Bible will also [encourage] them with many explicit and consoling as-surances of the Divine mercy to our fallen race and with repeated invitations to accept the offers of pardon and reconcili-ation They therefore who enlist in His service have the highest encourage-ment to fulfill the dunotties assigned to their respective stations for most certain it is that those of His followers who [partici-
pate in] His conquests will also participate in the trannotscendent glories and blessings of His Triumph
I recommend a general and public return of praise and thanksgiving to Him from whose goodness these blessings descend The most effectual means of securing the continuance of our civil and religious liberties is always to remember with reverence and gratitude the source from which they flow
The Bible is the best of all books for it is the word of God and teaches us the way to be happy in this world and in the next Continue therefore to read it and to regulate your life by its precepts
[T]he evidence of the truth of Christianity requires only to be carefully examined to produce conviction in candid minds they who undertake that task will derive advan-tages
Providence has given to our people the choice of their rulers and it is the duty as well as the privilege and interest of our Christian nation to select and prefer Chris-tians for their rulers
THOMAS JEFFERSONSIGNER OF THE DECLARATION OF INDE-PENDENCE DIPLOMAT GOVERNOR OF VIRGINIA SECRETARY OF STATE THIRD PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES
The doctrines of Jesus are simple and tend all to the happiness of man
The practice of morality being necessary for the well being of society He [God] has taken care to impress its precepts so indelibly on our hearts that they shall not be effaced by the subtleties of our brain We all agree in the obligation of the moral principles of Jesus and nowhere will they be found deliv-ered in greater purity than in His discourses
I am a Christian in the only sense in which He wished anyone to be sincerely attached to His doctrines in preference to all others
I am a real Christian ndash that is to say a dis-
ciple of the doctrines of Jesus Christ
JAMES KENTJUDGE LAW PROFESSOR ldquoFATHER OF AMERICAN JURISPRUDENCErdquo
My children I wish to talk to you During my early and middle life I was perhaps rather skeptical with regard to some of the truths of Christianity Not that I did not have the utmost respect for religion and always read my Bible but the doc-trine of the atonement was one I never could understand and I felt inclined to consider as impossible to be received in the way Divines taught it I believe I was rather inclined to Unitarianism but of late years my views have altered I believe in the doctrines of the prayer books as I understand them and hope to be saved through the merits of Jesus Christ My object in telling you this is that if anything happens to me you might know and perhaps it would console you to remember that on this point my mind is clear I rest my hopes of salvation on the Lord Jesus Christ
FRANCIS SCOTT KEYU S ATTORNEY FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA AUTHOR OF THE ldquoSTAR SPANGLED BANNERrdquo
[M]ay I always hear that you are follow-ing the guidance of that blessed Spirit that will lead you into all truth leaning on that Almighty arm that has been extend-ed to deliver you trusting only in the only
Savior and go-ing on in your way to Him rejoic-ing
It is so important for the Body of Jesus Christ to
realize that we must handle the wealth of this world in order to reach this world The revival we are entering is of such a great magnitude that believers everywhere are going to be required to grow in all aspects in order to participate That will certainly mean financial growth
The prophet Haggai spoke of this revival of the nations
Yet once it is a while and I will shake the heavens and the earth and the sea and the dry land and I will shake all nations and the desire of all nations shall come and I will fill this house with glory saith the Lord of hosts The silver is mine and the gold is mine saith the Lord of hosts The glory of this latter house shall be greater than the former saith the Lord of hosts and in this place will I give peace saith the Lord of hosts (Hag 26-9)
God declares that His glory will be revealed in the nations In the middle of this prophecy He speaks of the silver and the gold being His It may first seem to be out of place but then you see that for the nations to be affected and for the glory of God to be revealed in the house of God the gold and silver must be moved out of the hands of the nations - the world - and into the hands of His nation the Church
There is a shifting of wealth ahead in the earth Wealth is to come into the hands of godly men and women who will bring glory to God with it The wealth of this earth is not here to satisfy the lusts and greed of the perverted It is here to bring the freedom of Jesus Christ to the na-tions It is to bring glory to God
If you will not be afraid of the responsibil-ity of wealth God will show you how to increase in a greater measure
Too many people have put the responsi-bility for their development and advance-ment in the hands of God when He has clearly put it in their hands
Galatians 67 says it this way ldquoA manrsquos harvest in life will depend entirely on what he sowsrdquo (Phillips)
The context of this verse is the money given to those who teach the Word of God You establish your own harvest by your giving to Godrsquos work
In Galatians 68 Paul says ldquoFor he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption but he that soweth

to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlastingrdquo
Certainly this verse reaches beyond the financial realm But the context is regarding giving Our giving and honoring God with tithes and offerings is sowing to the spirit Your money reaches into the spirit realm
You can see this is in the words of the angel of the Lord sent to Cornelius who had hon-ored God
There was a certain man in Caesarea called Cornelius a centurion of the band called the Italian band a devout man and one that feared God with all his house which gave much alms to the people and prayed to God always He saw in a vision evidently about the ninth hour of the day an angel of God coming in to him and saying unto him Cornelius And when he looked on him he was afraid and said What is it Lord And he said unto him Thy prayers and thine alms are come up for a memorial before God (Acts 101-4)
Here is a man hungry for the reality of God reaching out in the only way he knew He prayed and he gave The angel said that his praying and giving had built a memorial be-fore God He had entered into the spirit realm with prayer and giving The money he gave went up before God in the Spirit and became an evidence of his hunger and honor for God
His faith and hunger for God resulted in the Apostle Peter receiving a vision that commis-sioned him to bring the gospel to the Gentiles as well as to the Jews (Acts 109-48)
Your praying and giving in faith bring your needs into the presence of God It is the very evidence that you are looking to Him and not to your own ability to meet your needs or change your circumstances When you honor Him He will direct you and guide your steps
There is a final aspect of what your giving will do that I must include here In 2 Corinthians 9 the Holy Spirit through Paul summarizes this principle
He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully Ev-ery man according as he purposeth in his heart so let him give not grudgingly or of necessity for God loveth a cheerful giver And God is able to make all grace abound toward you that ye always having sufficiency in all things may abound to every good work (2 Cor 96-8)
Paul said that all grace would abound toward you The various aspects of grace that bring Godrsquos ability to you for any area of life will increase according to your giving and sowing into the kingdom of God
That puts the growth and advancement in your life within your influence Your will-ingness to honor God with your wealth and to reach out in faith to give brings you to a place of Godrsquos ability multiplying on your behalf
To say it once again Galatians 67 in the Phillips translation is the most powerful and clear summary of this entire subject ldquoA manrsquos harvest in life will depend entirely on what he sowsrdquo
Your harvest can change if you will choose to sow the right seeds Let Godrsquos grace for giving be multiplied in you

Three Things Dating is NotDating is not really a biblical word at all That doesnrsquot mean itrsquos wrong to go out with someone on a ldquodaterdquo But it is important to remember what the Bible has to say about develop-ing romantic friendships
If you begin dating without some clear guidelines and boundaries you are headed for disaster Take a quick glance at what dating is not
Dating is not for those who arenrsquot ready In my opinion dating shouldnrsquot even be a consideration until a young person is at least 16 years old
Thatrsquos been ldquothe Lawrdquo with my three teenage boys and theyrsquore doing just fine with it That doesnrsquot mean you canrsquot have good friendships with the opposite sex just keep things in a group environment
Dating is not a great way to ldquoreally get to know someonerdquo Why Be-cause everyone is on best behavior during a date
If you really want to get to know someone watch the person at school every day or both of you get a job together at McDonaldrsquos Eight straight hours over a hot greaser full of fries will tell you the real tale
Dating is not all itrsquos cracked up to be Think about two people out together who hardly know each other Theyrsquore young and have limited social skills They have to try to create awkward conversation for hours on end
The point is itrsquos usually a whole lot easier to get to know someone among a group of other friends who can help fill those awkward mo-ments keeping things fun

Following a meeting last week between leading Lebanese legislator Sarsquoad Hariri and Russian leaders
Hariri was quoted by Russian me-dia this weekend as saying Russia will sell heavy weaponry to Leba-non Previously Hariri said that he hoped Russia would help Leb-anon claim Mt Dov from Israel Russia is ex-pecting Lebanon to recognize the independence of the breakaway Georgian dis-tricts of Abkha-zia and South Ossetia
Hariri the son of the assassinat-ed popular former Prime Minister Rafik Hariri represents the West-ern-backed majority in the Leba-nese parliament Russia will ldquohelp the Lebanese armyrdquo the Vremia Novosti newspaper quoted Hariri as saying ldquowhich needs heavy weaponsrdquo such as tanks and artil-lery American military aid Hariri told Russian media only consists of light arms
Lebanese Defense Minister Elias Murr is to visit Moscow in coming weeks when the details of the arms deal will be finalized The Russian state arms export firm Rosobo-ronexport has been boycotted by the United States government for arms deals with Iran North Korea
and Syria
In early October Prime Minister Ehud Olmert met with Russian President Dmitry Medvedev and urged him not to approve the sale of weapons to Iran and Syria It was imperative he told the Russian leader to ldquopre-
vent weapons from Syria from reaching extrem-ist elements in Lebanon such as Hizbullahrdquo
Mt Dov and Ab-khazia-S Ossetia - Quid Pro Quo
Last week during an official visit to Moscow by Hariri
and other legislators Lebanese media strongly emphasized Haririrsquos expres-sion of his appreciation for Russiarsquos role in working towards an Israeli with-drawal from the Mt Dov area (called ldquoShabrsquoa Farmsrdquo in Lebanon) along the Israeli border with Lebanon A report published by the Beirut-based English-language Daily Star was en-titled ldquoHariri Looks to Russia to Help Liberate Shabrsquoa Farmsrdquo although the article itself did not present any direct quote on the matter from Lebanese or Russian officials
After his meeting with Hariri Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said that Rus-sia was against foreign interference in Lebanese domestic affairs It was not clear if he was referring to actions

RUSSIA TO SELL HEAVY ARMS TO LEBANON
Mike Huckabee wouldnrsquot rule out a 2012 run for president Wednesday but
he acknowledged it could be hard to take back the spotlight from fellow Republican Sarah Palin ldquoIrsquom not ruling anything out for the future but Irsquom not making any specific plansrdquo Huckabee told reporters at a briefing to promote his new book ldquoDo the Right Thingrdquo
ldquoItrsquos not something Irsquom sitting around thinking aboutrdquo
Huckabee a former Arkansas governor said he expects Palin
to continue to have a leading voice in the Republican Party though he acknowledged he was envious of
her meteoric rise after Sen John McCain brought her out of relative ob-scurity as gov-ernor of Alaska to run with him this year as the vice presiden-tial candidate
Huckabee credited Palin
with energizing McCainrsquos campaign and said that her surprise selec-tion for the GOP ticket helped her to ldquoleapfrog over the processrdquo that other Republicans _ including himself _ had to endure to become national political figures
ldquoIrsquom not frustrated by itrdquo Hucka-bee said ldquoItrsquos not a resentment on her part Itrsquos an envyrdquo
Huckabee plans to stay on the national political stage through his shows hersquoll host on Fox News Channel and ABC Radio
The former Arkansas governor ran a scrappy but underfunded presidential campaign this year staying in the race until March when McCain secured enough delegates to win the nomination All the other serious Republican contenders had dropped out weeks before
Huckabee ran as a religious conservative though many conservative leaders wouldnrsquot support him Despite a lack of money Huckabee won the leadoff caucuses in Iowa and seven other states His book tour will take him to Iowa later this month
Huckabee and McCain had a cordial relationship during the campaign but Huckabee clearly didnrsquot like former Massachusetts Gov Mitt Romney another con-tender for the GOP nomination
In his book Huckabee slams Romney for changing positions on issues such as abortion rights and gay marriage
ldquoHe spent more time on the road to Damascus than a Syrian camel driver And we thought nobody could fill John Kerryrsquos
flip-flopsrdquo Huckabee wrote
Romneyrsquos record he wrote ldquowas anything but conservative until he changed all the light-bulbs in his chandelier in time to run for presidentrdquo
A spokesman for Romney dis-missed Huckabeersquos comments in the book as ldquopetty stuffrdquo
ldquoWe need to focus on mov-ing the party forward with new ideasrdquo Romney spokesman Eric Fehrnstrom said ldquoUnfortu-nately Mike Huckabee seems more interested in settling scores than bringing people togetherrdquo
Huckabee said Wednesday he was simply writing with the same candor he showed dur-ing the campaign
ldquoThere was obvious tension and again it wasnrsquot just me but with other candidates and so I addressed where that came fromrdquo Huckabee said ldquoOne of the things people came to believe that they would get from me was can-dorrdquo
ldquoIf I had written this book and totally ignored some of the obvious issues that were there I think people would have said the book lacked credibility and candorrdquo he said

nuclear reactor
The documents were being shared with the 35 nations on the IAEArsquos board
On Syria the agency also said that soil samples taken from the bombed site had a ldquosignificant num-berrdquo of chemically processed natu-ral uranium particles A senior UN official who demanded anonymity because the information was restricted said the findings were unusual for a facility that Syria alleges had no nuclear purpose
The same official char-acterized UN attempts to elicit answers from Tehran on al-legations that it had drafted plans for nuclear weapons programs as at a standstill
The Syrian report said ldquoit cannot be excludedrdquo that the building de-stroyed in a remote stretch of the Syrian desert on Sept 6 2007 was ldquointended for non-nuclear userdquo
Still ldquothe features of the building are similar to what may be found in connection with a reactor siterdquo it said suggesting facilityrsquos size also fits that picture
The report took note of Syrian as-sertions that any uranium particles found at the site must have come from Israeli missiles that hit the building near the town of Al Kibar And it cited Damascus officials as saying the IAEA samples contained only a ldquovery limited numberrdquo of such particles
But the report spoke of a ldquosignificant
number of particlesrdquo found in the samples
The senior UN official said ldquothe onus of this investigation is on Syr-iardquo and noted that the traces were not of depleted uranium mdash the most commonly used variety of the met-al in ammunition meant to harden ordnance for increased penetra-
tion
Satellite imagery made public in the wake of the Israeli attack noted that the Syrians subsequent-ly removed substantial amounts of topsoil and entombed the building in concrete But the report also suggested similar activities at three other
Syrian sites of IAEA interest
ldquoAnalysis of satellite imagery taken of these locations indicates that landscaping activities and the re-moval of large containers took place shortly after the agencyrsquos re-quest for accessrdquo it said
Beyond one visit in June to the Al Kibar site Syria has refused IAEA requests to return to that location and examine the three other sites citing the need to protect its military secrets
In addition said the report ldquoSyria has not yet provided the requested documentationrdquo to back up its as-sertions that the bombed building was a non-nuclear military facility
Iran denies such plans saying it wants to enrich for a future large-scale civilian nuclear program But suspicions have been compounded by its monthslong refusal to answer IAEA questions based on US Is-

RUSSIA TO SELL HEAVY ARMS TO LEBANON
by Syria Israel or other foreign in-terventions
The Iran-controlled Lebanese ter-rorist organization Hizbullah in the meantime said recently that an Is-raeli withdrawal from Mt Dov would only be a start The group claims seven Arab villages in northern Is-rael are actually Lebanese In any event both Iran and Hizbullah have repeatedly made it clear that they do not believe Israel should exist at
all regardless of bor-der demarcations A Hizbullah spokesman said last week that the group would not give up it arms until Lebanon had another force capa-ble of confronting Israel
Touching on Lebanese policy towards matters in the Slavic states Hariri was quoted as saying that Lebanon may well recognize the indepen-dence of the breakaway Georgian districts of
South Ossetia and Abkhazia The Russian Vremya Novostei news-paper quoted Hariri as saying ldquoWe will fine tune contacts with South Ossetia and Abkhazia now For example delegations of Lebanese businessmen will be leaving for there soonrdquo Russia has backed the secession of the regions from Georgia including launching a war in their defense in August of this year
In his last Thanksgiving as the Commander in Chief Tuesday President Bush thanked US
troops for a ldquojob well donerdquo noting that even though thousands of soldiers are returning home the war is not yet over
During his visit to Fort Campbell Ky Bush offered comfort for troops coming back home and for those who are pre-paring to deploy again In November alone more than 10000 soldiers had returned to the military base most of them from Iraq
In recent weeks this post has been the scene of heart-warming family reunionsrdquo he said ldquoMany of you have recently finished deployments to Iraq You performed with cour-age and distinction on the front lines of the war on terror You have returned on successrdquo
Still the President warned that ldquothe war in Iraq is not overrdquo and
stressed the importance of victory in the country
ldquoSuccess will frustrate Iranrsquos ambi-tions to dominate the region Suc-cess will show millions across the Middle East that a future of liberty and
democracy is possible Suc-cess will deny al-Qaeda a safe haven for launching new attacksrdquo Bush said ldquoSuccess in Iraq will mean that the Ameri-can people are more secure at homerdquo
Over the next few weeks the White House says 3000 soldiers from the 101st Airborne will deploy to Afghani-stan while 450 will be sent to Iraq In January another 1200 will be de-ployed to Iraq from Fort Campbell
Bush called the work of the troops ldquohistoricalrdquo and and said he expected their efforts in Iraq will resonate far beyond the country and into history books

Fugitive terrorist Osama bin Laden is planning new attacks against the US that will ldquooutdo by farrdquo the attacks of 911
according to a report in a London-based Arabic newspaper
The paper Al-Quds Al-Arabi quotes a former senior Yemeni al-Qaida official saying the terror group is now in a ldquopositive phaserdquo of staff-ing and rebuilding training camps around the globe The action will lead to the next ldquowave of actionrdquo against the US the paper reported
ldquoThis will be shown by the fact that we now control a major part of the south of Somaliardquo the Yemeni source told the paper
According to the report bin Laden is personally involved in the preparations and is looking to ldquochange the face of world politics and econom-icsrdquo
The paper is edited by Abdel al-Bari Atwan the last journalist to interview bin Laden in 1996The Yemeni operative says he remains in contact with current al-Qaida chiefs He claims
BIN LADEN PLANS NEW ATTACKS BIGGER THAN 911
GOODYEAR
bin Laden sent a message to all jihad cells in the Arab world six months ago urging them not to interact with their governments or local political parties
More signs of al-Qaidarsquos violent intentions are expected over the next few days the paper reported
The al-Qaida warning comes just one day after The Telegraph newspaper published a leaked government report showing thousands of extremists are active in the UK The document says the operatives are mostly native Brits between 18 and 30 Many have been trained in overseas terrorist camps
Security officials warned that al-Qaida will attempt another ldquospectacularrdquo in the UK likely focused on airports or train stations The Telegraph reported Other potential targets include the Houses of Parliament and Whitehall Buckingham and St Jamesrsquo palaces

Lauren Richardson sustained a severe brain injury in August 2006 according to an Alli-ance Defense Fund (ADF) press release The doctors then declared she would be in a ldquopersistent vegetative staterdquo ADF attorney Matt Bowman tells OneNews-Now Laurenrsquos mother was fighting to have Laurenrsquos feeding tube and water discontin-ued but she had a change of heart ldquoThe
miracle in Lauren Richardsonrsquos case is that both of her parents came to realize that life should be protectedrdquo he explains ldquoItrsquos inherently valuable and just because Lauren has a severe disability doesnrsquot mean that her life is not valuablerdquo
Laurenrsquos mother became a born-again Christian and visited her daughter at her hospital facility which Bowman believes was quite eye-opening ldquoAnd then an amazing thing happenedrdquo he notes ldquoShe told Lauren that Lauren would be cared for and Lauren started crying and they cried together and she realized that her daughter was really there and was really respondingrdquo Lauren was also responding to pain music family membersrsquo voices touch and assisted exercise The parents have agreed to settle the case and share joint guardianship of Lauren
It is so important for the Body of Jesus Christ to
realize that we must handle the wealth of this world in order to reach this world The revival we are entering is of such a great magnitude that believers everywhere are going to be required to grow in all aspects in order to participate That will certainly mean financial growth
The prophet Haggai spoke of this revival of the nations
Yet once it is a while and I will shake the heavens and the earth and the sea and the dry land and I will shake all nations and the desire of all nations shall come and I will fill this house with glory saith the Lord of hosts The silver is mine and the gold is mine saith the Lord of hosts The glory of this latter house shall be greater than the former saith the Lord of hosts and in this place will I give peace saith the Lord of hosts (Hag 26-9)
God declares that His glory will be revealed in the nations In the middle of this prophecy He speaks of the silver and the gold being His It may first seem to be out of place but then you see that for the nations to be affected and for the glory of God to be revealed in the house of God the gold and silver must be moved out of the hands of the nations - the world - and into the hands of His nation the Church
There is a shifting of wealth ahead in the earth Wealth is to come into the hands of godly men and women who will bring glory to God with it The wealth of this earth is not here to satisfy the lusts and greed of the perverted It is here to bring the freedom of Jesus Christ to the na-tions It is to bring glory to God
If you will not be afraid of the responsibil-ity of wealth God will show you how to increase in a greater measure
Too many people have put the responsi-bility for their development and advance-ment in the hands of God when He has clearly put it in their hands
Galatians 67 says it this way ldquoA manrsquos harvest in life will depend entirely on what he sowsrdquo (Phillips)
The context of this verse is the money given to those who teach the Word of God You establish your own harvest by your giving to Godrsquos work
In Galatians 68 Paul says ldquoFor he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption but he that soweth

to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlastingrdquo
Certainly this verse reaches beyond the financial realm But the context is regarding giving Our giving and honoring God with tithes and offerings is sowing to the spirit Your money reaches into the spirit realm
You can see this is in the words of the angel of the Lord sent to Cornelius who had hon-ored God
There was a certain man in Caesarea called Cornelius a centurion of the band called the Italian band a devout man and one that feared God with all his house which gave much alms to the people and prayed to God always He saw in a vision evidently about the ninth hour of the day an angel of God coming in to him and saying unto him Cornelius And when he looked on him he was afraid and said What is it Lord And he said unto him Thy prayers and thine alms are come up for a memorial before God (Acts 101-4)
Here is a man hungry for the reality of God reaching out in the only way he knew He prayed and he gave The angel said that his praying and giving had built a memorial be-fore God He had entered into the spirit realm with prayer and giving The money he gave went up before God in the Spirit and became an evidence of his hunger and honor for God
His faith and hunger for God resulted in the Apostle Peter receiving a vision that commis-sioned him to bring the gospel to the Gentiles as well as to the Jews (Acts 109-48)
Your praying and giving in faith bring your needs into the presence of God It is the very evidence that you are looking to Him and not to your own ability to meet your needs or change your circumstances When you honor Him He will direct you and guide your steps
There is a final aspect of what your giving will do that I must include here In 2 Corinthians 9 the Holy Spirit through Paul summarizes this principle
He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully Ev-ery man according as he purposeth in his heart so let him give not grudgingly or of necessity for God loveth a cheerful giver And God is able to make all grace abound toward you that ye always having sufficiency in all things may abound to every good work (2 Cor 96-8)
Paul said that all grace would abound toward you The various aspects of grace that bring Godrsquos ability to you for any area of life will increase according to your giving and sowing into the kingdom of God
That puts the growth and advancement in your life within your influence Your will-ingness to honor God with your wealth and to reach out in faith to give brings you to a place of Godrsquos ability multiplying on your behalf
To say it once again Galatians 67 in the Phillips translation is the most powerful and clear summary of this entire subject ldquoA manrsquos harvest in life will depend entirely on what he sowsrdquo
Your harvest can change if you will choose to sow the right seeds Let Godrsquos grace for giving be multiplied in you

Three Things Dating is NotDating is not really a biblical word at all That doesnrsquot mean itrsquos wrong to go out with someone on a ldquodaterdquo But it is important to remember what the Bible has to say about develop-ing romantic friendships
If you begin dating without some clear guidelines and boundaries you are headed for disaster Take a quick glance at what dating is not
Dating is not for those who arenrsquot ready In my opinion dating shouldnrsquot even be a consideration until a young person is at least 16 years old
Thatrsquos been ldquothe Lawrdquo with my three teenage boys and theyrsquore doing just fine with it That doesnrsquot mean you canrsquot have good friendships with the opposite sex just keep things in a group environment
Dating is not a great way to ldquoreally get to know someonerdquo Why Be-cause everyone is on best behavior during a date
If you really want to get to know someone watch the person at school every day or both of you get a job together at McDonaldrsquos Eight straight hours over a hot greaser full of fries will tell you the real tale
Dating is not all itrsquos cracked up to be Think about two people out together who hardly know each other Theyrsquore young and have limited social skills They have to try to create awkward conversation for hours on end
The point is itrsquos usually a whole lot easier to get to know someone among a group of other friends who can help fill those awkward mo-ments keeping things fun
Seven Keys to Remembering What You Studied

Pray and ask God to bring those things yoursquove learned back to your remembrance (John 1426)

Following a meeting last week between leading Lebanese legislator Sarsquoad Hariri and Russian leaders
Hariri was quoted by Russian me-dia this weekend as saying Russia will sell heavy weaponry to Leba-non Previously Hariri said that he hoped Russia would help Leb-anon claim Mt Dov from Israel Russia is ex-pecting Lebanon to recognize the independence of the breakaway Georgian dis-tricts of Abkha-zia and South Ossetia
Hariri the son of the assassinat-ed popular former Prime Minister Rafik Hariri represents the West-ern-backed majority in the Leba-nese parliament Russia will ldquohelp the Lebanese armyrdquo the Vremia Novosti newspaper quoted Hariri as saying ldquowhich needs heavy weaponsrdquo such as tanks and artil-lery American military aid Hariri told Russian media only consists of light arms
Lebanese Defense Minister Elias Murr is to visit Moscow in coming weeks when the details of the arms deal will be finalized The Russian state arms export firm Rosobo-ronexport has been boycotted by the United States government for arms deals with Iran North Korea
and Syria
In early October Prime Minister Ehud Olmert met with Russian President Dmitry Medvedev and urged him not to approve the sale of weapons to Iran and Syria It was imperative he told the Russian leader to ldquopre-
vent weapons from Syria from reaching extrem-ist elements in Lebanon such as Hizbullahrdquo
Mt Dov and Ab-khazia-S Ossetia - Quid Pro Quo
Last week during an official visit to Moscow by Hariri
and other legislators Lebanese media strongly emphasized Haririrsquos expres-sion of his appreciation for Russiarsquos role in working towards an Israeli with-drawal from the Mt Dov area (called ldquoShabrsquoa Farmsrdquo in Lebanon) along the Israeli border with Lebanon A report published by the Beirut-based English-language Daily Star was en-titled ldquoHariri Looks to Russia to Help Liberate Shabrsquoa Farmsrdquo although the article itself did not present any direct quote on the matter from Lebanese or Russian officials
After his meeting with Hariri Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said that Rus-sia was against foreign interference in Lebanese domestic affairs It was not clear if he was referring to actions

RUSSIA TO SELL HEAVY ARMS TO LEBANON
Mike Huckabee wouldnrsquot rule out a 2012 run for president Wednesday but
he acknowledged it could be hard to take back the spotlight from fellow Republican Sarah Palin ldquoIrsquom not ruling anything out for the future but Irsquom not making any specific plansrdquo Huckabee told reporters at a briefing to promote his new book ldquoDo the Right Thingrdquo
ldquoItrsquos not something Irsquom sitting around thinking aboutrdquo
Huckabee a former Arkansas governor said he expects Palin
to continue to have a leading voice in the Republican Party though he acknowledged he was envious of
her meteoric rise after Sen John McCain brought her out of relative ob-scurity as gov-ernor of Alaska to run with him this year as the vice presiden-tial candidate
Huckabee credited Palin
with energizing McCainrsquos campaign and said that her surprise selec-tion for the GOP ticket helped her to ldquoleapfrog over the processrdquo that other Republicans _ including himself _ had to endure to become national political figures
ldquoIrsquom not frustrated by itrdquo Hucka-bee said ldquoItrsquos not a resentment on her part Itrsquos an envyrdquo
Huckabee plans to stay on the national political stage through his shows hersquoll host on Fox News Channel and ABC Radio
The former Arkansas governor ran a scrappy but underfunded presidential campaign this year staying in the race until March when McCain secured enough delegates to win the nomination All the other serious Republican contenders had dropped out weeks before
Huckabee ran as a religious conservative though many conservative leaders wouldnrsquot support him Despite a lack of money Huckabee won the leadoff caucuses in Iowa and seven other states His book tour will take him to Iowa later this month
Huckabee and McCain had a cordial relationship during the campaign but Huckabee clearly didnrsquot like former Massachusetts Gov Mitt Romney another con-tender for the GOP nomination
In his book Huckabee slams Romney for changing positions on issues such as abortion rights and gay marriage
ldquoHe spent more time on the road to Damascus than a Syrian camel driver And we thought nobody could fill John Kerryrsquos
flip-flopsrdquo Huckabee wrote
Romneyrsquos record he wrote ldquowas anything but conservative until he changed all the light-bulbs in his chandelier in time to run for presidentrdquo
A spokesman for Romney dis-missed Huckabeersquos comments in the book as ldquopetty stuffrdquo
ldquoWe need to focus on mov-ing the party forward with new ideasrdquo Romney spokesman Eric Fehrnstrom said ldquoUnfortu-nately Mike Huckabee seems more interested in settling scores than bringing people togetherrdquo
Huckabee said Wednesday he was simply writing with the same candor he showed dur-ing the campaign
ldquoThere was obvious tension and again it wasnrsquot just me but with other candidates and so I addressed where that came fromrdquo Huckabee said ldquoOne of the things people came to believe that they would get from me was can-dorrdquo
ldquoIf I had written this book and totally ignored some of the obvious issues that were there I think people would have said the book lacked credibility and candorrdquo he said

nuclear reactor
The documents were being shared with the 35 nations on the IAEArsquos board
On Syria the agency also said that soil samples taken from the bombed site had a ldquosignificant num-berrdquo of chemically processed natu-ral uranium particles A senior UN official who demanded anonymity because the information was restricted said the findings were unusual for a facility that Syria alleges had no nuclear purpose
The same official char-acterized UN attempts to elicit answers from Tehran on al-legations that it had drafted plans for nuclear weapons programs as at a standstill
The Syrian report said ldquoit cannot be excludedrdquo that the building de-stroyed in a remote stretch of the Syrian desert on Sept 6 2007 was ldquointended for non-nuclear userdquo
Still ldquothe features of the building are similar to what may be found in connection with a reactor siterdquo it said suggesting facilityrsquos size also fits that picture
The report took note of Syrian as-sertions that any uranium particles found at the site must have come from Israeli missiles that hit the building near the town of Al Kibar And it cited Damascus officials as saying the IAEA samples contained only a ldquovery limited numberrdquo of such particles
But the report spoke of a ldquosignificant
number of particlesrdquo found in the samples
The senior UN official said ldquothe onus of this investigation is on Syr-iardquo and noted that the traces were not of depleted uranium mdash the most commonly used variety of the met-al in ammunition meant to harden ordnance for increased penetra-
tion
Satellite imagery made public in the wake of the Israeli attack noted that the Syrians subsequent-ly removed substantial amounts of topsoil and entombed the building in concrete But the report also suggested similar activities at three other
Syrian sites of IAEA interest
ldquoAnalysis of satellite imagery taken of these locations indicates that landscaping activities and the re-moval of large containers took place shortly after the agencyrsquos re-quest for accessrdquo it said
Beyond one visit in June to the Al Kibar site Syria has refused IAEA requests to return to that location and examine the three other sites citing the need to protect its military secrets
In addition said the report ldquoSyria has not yet provided the requested documentationrdquo to back up its as-sertions that the bombed building was a non-nuclear military facility
Iran denies such plans saying it wants to enrich for a future large-scale civilian nuclear program But suspicions have been compounded by its monthslong refusal to answer IAEA questions based on US Is-

That is precisely what I am talking about here friend The only way we are ever go-ing to know what God is saying about our situations is if we are doing what Jesus commanded us to do in John chapter 15

RUSSIA TO SELL HEAVY ARMS TO LEBANON
by Syria Israel or other foreign in-terventions
The Iran-controlled Lebanese ter-rorist organization Hizbullah in the meantime said recently that an Is-raeli withdrawal from Mt Dov would only be a start The group claims seven Arab villages in northern Is-rael are actually Lebanese In any event both Iran and Hizbullah have repeatedly made it clear that they do not believe Israel should exist at
all regardless of bor-der demarcations A Hizbullah spokesman said last week that the group would not give up it arms until Lebanon had another force capa-ble of confronting Israel
Touching on Lebanese policy towards matters in the Slavic states Hariri was quoted as saying that Lebanon may well recognize the indepen-dence of the breakaway Georgian districts of
South Ossetia and Abkhazia The Russian Vremya Novostei news-paper quoted Hariri as saying ldquoWe will fine tune contacts with South Ossetia and Abkhazia now For example delegations of Lebanese businessmen will be leaving for there soonrdquo Russia has backed the secession of the regions from Georgia including launching a war in their defense in August of this year
In his last Thanksgiving as the Commander in Chief Tuesday President Bush thanked US
troops for a ldquojob well donerdquo noting that even though thousands of soldiers are returning home the war is not yet over
During his visit to Fort Campbell Ky Bush offered comfort for troops coming back home and for those who are pre-paring to deploy again In November alone more than 10000 soldiers had returned to the military base most of them from Iraq
In recent weeks this post has been the scene of heart-warming family reunionsrdquo he said ldquoMany of you have recently finished deployments to Iraq You performed with cour-age and distinction on the front lines of the war on terror You have returned on successrdquo
Still the President warned that ldquothe war in Iraq is not overrdquo and
stressed the importance of victory in the country
ldquoSuccess will frustrate Iranrsquos ambi-tions to dominate the region Suc-cess will show millions across the Middle East that a future of liberty and
democracy is possible Suc-cess will deny al-Qaeda a safe haven for launching new attacksrdquo Bush said ldquoSuccess in Iraq will mean that the Ameri-can people are more secure at homerdquo
Over the next few weeks the White House says 3000 soldiers from the 101st Airborne will deploy to Afghani-stan while 450 will be sent to Iraq In January another 1200 will be de-ployed to Iraq from Fort Campbell
Bush called the work of the troops ldquohistoricalrdquo and and said he expected their efforts in Iraq will resonate far beyond the country and into history books

Fugitive terrorist Osama bin Laden is planning new attacks against the US that will ldquooutdo by farrdquo the attacks of 911
according to a report in a London-based Arabic newspaper
The paper Al-Quds Al-Arabi quotes a former senior Yemeni al-Qaida official saying the terror group is now in a ldquopositive phaserdquo of staff-ing and rebuilding training camps around the globe The action will lead to the next ldquowave of actionrdquo against the US the paper reported
ldquoThis will be shown by the fact that we now control a major part of the south of Somaliardquo the Yemeni source told the paper
According to the report bin Laden is personally involved in the preparations and is looking to ldquochange the face of world politics and econom-icsrdquo
The paper is edited by Abdel al-Bari Atwan the last journalist to interview bin Laden in 1996The Yemeni operative says he remains in contact with current al-Qaida chiefs He claims
BIN LADEN PLANS NEW ATTACKS BIGGER THAN 911
GOODYEAR
bin Laden sent a message to all jihad cells in the Arab world six months ago urging them not to interact with their governments or local political parties
More signs of al-Qaidarsquos violent intentions are expected over the next few days the paper reported
The al-Qaida warning comes just one day after The Telegraph newspaper published a leaked government report showing thousands of extremists are active in the UK The document says the operatives are mostly native Brits between 18 and 30 Many have been trained in overseas terrorist camps
Security officials warned that al-Qaida will attempt another ldquospectacularrdquo in the UK likely focused on airports or train stations The Telegraph reported Other potential targets include the Houses of Parliament and Whitehall Buckingham and St Jamesrsquo palaces

Thatrsquos been ldquothe Lawrdquo with my three teenage boys and theyrsquore doing just fine with it That doesnrsquot mean you canrsquot have good friendships with the opposite sex just keep things in a group environment
Dating is not a great way to ldquoreally get to know someonerdquo Why Be-cause everyone is on best behavior during a date
If you really want to get to know someone watch the person at school every day or both of you get a job together at McDonaldrsquos Eight straight hours over a hot greaser full of fries will tell you the real tale
Dating is not all itrsquos cracked up to be Think about two people out together who hardly know each other Theyrsquore young and have limited social skills They have to try to create awkward conversation for hours on end
The point is itrsquos usually a whole lot easier to get to know someone among a group of other friends who can help fill those awkward mo-ments keeping things fun
Seven Keys to Remembering What You Studied

Pray and ask God to bring those things yoursquove learned back to your remembrance (John 1426)

Following a meeting last week between leading Lebanese legislator Sarsquoad Hariri and Russian leaders
Hariri was quoted by Russian me-dia this weekend as saying Russia will sell heavy weaponry to Leba-non Previously Hariri said that he hoped Russia would help Leb-anon claim Mt Dov from Israel Russia is ex-pecting Lebanon to recognize the independence of the breakaway Georgian dis-tricts of Abkha-zia and South Ossetia
Hariri the son of the assassinat-ed popular former Prime Minister Rafik Hariri represents the West-ern-backed majority in the Leba-nese parliament Russia will ldquohelp the Lebanese armyrdquo the Vremia Novosti newspaper quoted Hariri as saying ldquowhich needs heavy weaponsrdquo such as tanks and artil-lery American military aid Hariri told Russian media only consists of light arms
Lebanese Defense Minister Elias Murr is to visit Moscow in coming weeks when the details of the arms deal will be finalized The Russian state arms export firm Rosobo-ronexport has been boycotted by the United States government for arms deals with Iran North Korea
and Syria
In early October Prime Minister Ehud Olmert met with Russian President Dmitry Medvedev and urged him not to approve the sale of weapons to Iran and Syria It was imperative he told the Russian leader to ldquopre-

RUSSIA TO SELL HEAVY ARMS TO LEBANON
Mike Huckabee wouldnrsquot rule out a 2012 run for president Wednesday but
he acknowledged it could be hard to take back the spotlight from fellow Republican Sarah Palin ldquoIrsquom not ruling anything out for the future but Irsquom not making any specific plansrdquo Huckabee told reporters at a briefing to promote his new book ldquoDo the Right Thingrdquo
ldquoItrsquos not something Irsquom sitting around thinking aboutrdquo
Huckabee a former Arkansas governor said he expects Palin
to continue to have a leading voice in the Republican Party though he acknowledged he was envious of
her meteoric rise after Sen John McCain brought her out of relative ob-scurity as gov-ernor of Alaska to run with him this year as the vice presiden-tial candidate
Huckabee credited Palin
with energizing McCainrsquos campaign and said that her surprise selec-tion for the GOP ticket helped her to ldquoleapfrog over the processrdquo that other Republicans _ including himself _ had to endure to become national political figures
ldquoIrsquom not frustrated by itrdquo Hucka-bee said ldquoItrsquos not a resentment on her part Itrsquos an envyrdquo
Huckabee plans to stay on the national political stage through his shows hersquoll host on Fox News Channel and ABC Radio
The former Arkansas governor ran a scrappy but underfunded presidential campaign this year staying in the race until March when McCain secured enough delegates to win the nomination All the other serious Republican contenders had dropped out weeks before
Huckabee ran as a religious conservative though many conservative leaders wouldnrsquot support him Despite a lack of money Huckabee won the leadoff caucuses in Iowa and seven other states His book tour will take him to Iowa later this month
Huckabee and McCain had a cordial relationship during the campaign but Huckabee clearly didnrsquot like former Massachusetts Gov Mitt Romney another con-tender for the GOP nomination
In his book Huckabee slams Romney for changing positions on issues such as abortion rights and gay marriage
ldquoHe spent more time on the road to Damascus than a Syrian camel driver And we thought nobody could fill John Kerryrsquos
flip-flopsrdquo Huckabee wrote
Romneyrsquos record he wrote ldquowas anything but conservative until he changed all the light-bulbs in his chandelier in time to run for presidentrdquo
A spokesman for Romney dis-missed Huckabeersquos comments in the book as ldquopetty stuffrdquo
ldquoWe need to focus on mov-ing the party forward with new ideasrdquo Romney spokesman Eric Fehrnstrom said ldquoUnfortu-nately Mike Huckabee seems more interested in settling scores than bringing people togetherrdquo
Huckabee said Wednesday he was simply writing with the same candor he showed dur-ing the campaign
ldquoThere was obvious tension and again it wasnrsquot just me but with other candidates and so I addressed where that came fromrdquo Huckabee said ldquoOne of the things people came to believe that they would get from me was can-dorrdquo
ldquoIf I had written this book and totally ignored some of the obvious issues that were there I think people would have said the book lacked credibility and candorrdquo he said

The documents were being shared with the 35 nations on the IAEArsquos board
On Syria the agency also said that soil samples taken from the bombed site had a ldquosignificant num-berrdquo of chemically processed natu-ral uranium particles A senior UN official who demanded anonymity because the information was restricted said the findings were unusual for a facility that Syria alleges had no nuclear purpose
The same official char-acterized UN attempts to elicit answers from Tehran on al-legations that it had drafted plans for nuclear weapons programs as at a standstill
The Syrian report said ldquoit cannot be excludedrdquo that the building de-stroyed in a remote stretch of the Syrian desert on Sept 6 2007 was ldquointended for non-nuclear userdquo
Still ldquothe features of the building are similar to what may be found in connection with a reactor siterdquo it said suggesting facilityrsquos size also fits that picture
The report took note of Syrian as-sertions that any uranium particles found at the site must have come from Israeli missiles that hit the building near the town of Al Kibar And it cited Damascus officials as saying the IAEA samples contained only a ldquovery limited numberrdquo of such particles
But the report spoke of a ldquosignificant
number of particlesrdquo found in the samples
The senior UN official said ldquothe onus of this investigation is on Syr-iardquo and noted that the traces were not of depleted uranium mdash the most commonly used variety of the met-al in ammunition meant to harden ordnance for increased penetra-

Satellite imagery made public in the wake of the Israeli attack noted that the Syrians subsequent-ly removed substantial amounts of topsoil and entombed the building in concrete But the report also suggested similar activities at three other
Syrian sites of IAEA interest
ldquoAnalysis of satellite imagery taken of these locations indicates that landscaping activities and the re-moval of large containers took place shortly after the agencyrsquos re-quest for accessrdquo it said
Beyond one visit in June to the Al Kibar site Syria has refused IAEA requests to return to that location and examine the three other sites citing the need to protect its military secrets
In addition said the report ldquoSyria has not yet provided the requested documentationrdquo to back up its as-sertions that the bombed building was a non-nuclear military facility
Iran denies such plans saying it wants to enrich for a future large-scale civilian nuclear program But suspicions have been compounded by its monthslong refusal to answer IAEA questions based on US Is-

ture down on the inside of me The still small voice of the Holy Spirit would be speaking the living Word of God to my heart
At that moment I knew I had a decision to make Do I act on the Word of God or by how I feel After hearing the Word of God I knew what the answer was to my situation But I still had a choice God was not go-ing to make me act on His Word
This is where you and I have to choose to live by His Word and not by our natural reasoning if we want to win Well Rory you may say if I knew what God was saying about my situation I would do it I just donrsquot know what God is saying about my situation
That is precisely what I am talking about here friend The only way we are ever go-ing to know what God is saying about our situations is if we are doing what Jesus commanded us to do in John chapter 15
When we learn to live in the Word then His Word will begin speaking to us
Jesus said ldquoAbide live or dwell in My Word Then ask what you will and it shall be donerdquo
Start abiding in His Word Be obedient to every Word

RUSSIA TO SELL HEAVY ARMS TO LEBANON
by Syria Israel or other foreign in-terventions
The Iran-controlled Lebanese ter-rorist organization Hizbullah in the meantime said recently that an Is-raeli withdrawal from Mt Dov would only be a start The group claims seven Arab villages in northern Is-rael are actually Lebanese In any event both Iran and Hizbullah have repeatedly made it clear that they do not believe Israel should exist at
all regardless of bor-der demarcations A Hizbullah spokesman said last week that the group would not give up it arms until Lebanon had another force capa-ble of confronting Israel
Touching on Lebanese policy towards matters in the Slavic states Hariri was quoted as saying that Lebanon may well recognize the indepen-dence of the breakaway Georgian districts of
South Ossetia and Abkhazia The Russian Vremya Novostei news-paper quoted Hariri as saying ldquoWe will fine tune contacts with South Ossetia and Abkhazia now For example delegations of Lebanese businessmen will be leaving for there soonrdquo Russia has backed the secession of the regions from Georgia including launching a war in their defense in August of this year
In his last Thanksgiving as the Commander in Chief Tuesday President Bush thanked US
troops for a ldquojob well donerdquo noting that even though thousands of soldiers are returning home the war is not yet over
During his visit to Fort Campbell Ky Bush offered comfort for troops coming back home and for those who are pre-paring to deploy again In November alone more than 10000 soldiers had returned to the military base most of them from Iraq
In recent weeks this post has been the scene of heart-warming family reunionsrdquo he said ldquoMany of you have recently finished deployments to Iraq You performed with cour-age and distinction on the front lines of the war on terror You have returned on successrdquo
Still the President warned that ldquothe war in Iraq is not overrdquo and
stressed the importance of victory in the country
ldquoSuccess will frustrate Iranrsquos ambi-tions to dominate the region Suc-cess will show millions across the Middle East that a future of liberty and
democracy is possible Suc-cess will deny al-Qaeda a safe haven for launching new attacksrdquo Bush said ldquoSuccess in Iraq will mean that the Ameri-can people are more secure at homerdquo
Over the next few weeks the White House says 3000 soldiers from the 101st Airborne will deploy to Afghani-stan while 450 will be sent to Iraq In January another 1200 will be de-ployed to Iraq from Fort Campbell
Bush called the work of the troops ldquohistoricalrdquo and and said he expected their efforts in Iraq will resonate far beyond the country and into history books

A tremendous pyramid of evidence for design and recent cre-ation is available for detailed study
Romans 120 states ldquoFor the invisible things of him from the creation are clearly seen being understood by the things that are made even his eternal power and Godhead so that they are without excuserdquo1 Human Artifacts throughout the Geologic ColumnMan-made artifacts - such as the hammer in Cretaceous rock a human sandal print with trilobite in Cambrian rock human foot-prints and a handprint in Cretaceous rock ndash point to the fact that all the supposed geologic periods actually occurred at the same time in the recent past11
2 Helium Content in Earthrsquos Atmosphere Physicist Melvin Cook found that helium-4 enters our atmosphere from solar wind and radioactive decay of uranium At present rates our at-mosphere would accumulate current helium-4 amounts in less than 10000 years12
3 Expansion of Space FabricAstronomical estimates of the distance to various galaxies gives conflicting data13 The Bibli-cal Record refers to the expansion of space by the Creator14 Astrophysicist Russell Humphries demonstrates that such space expansion would dilate time in distant space15 This could explain a recent creation with great distances to the stars
4 Design in Living SystemsA living cell is so awesomely complex that its interdependent components stagger the imagi-nation and defy evolutionary explanations A minimal cell con-tains over 60000 proteins of 100 different configurations16 The chance of this assemblage occurring by chance is 1 in 10 4478296 17
5 Design in the Human BrainThe human brain is the most complicated structure in the known universe18 It contains over 100 billion cells each with over 50000 neuron connections to other brain cells19 This structure receives over 100 million separate signals from the total human body every second If we learned something new every second of our lives it would take three million years to exhaust the capacity of the human brain 20 In addition to conscious thought people can actually reason anticipate consequences and devise plans - all without know-ing they are doing so21

Fugitive terrorist Osama bin Laden is planning new attacks against the US that will ldquooutdo by farrdquo the attacks of 911
according to a report in a London-based Arabic newspaper
The paper Al-Quds Al-Arabi quotes a former senior Yemeni al-Qaida official saying the terror group is now in a ldquopositive phaserdquo of staff-ing and rebuilding training camps around the globe The action will lead to the next ldquowave of actionrdquo against the US the paper reported
ldquoThis will be shown by the fact that we now control a major part of the south of Somaliardquo the Yemeni source told the paper
According to the report bin Laden is personally involved in the preparations and is looking to ldquochange the face of world politics and econom-icsrdquo
The paper is edited by Abdel al-Bari Atwan the last journalist to interview bin Laden in 1996The Yemeni operative says he remains in contact with current al-Qaida chiefs He claims
BIN LADEN PLANS NEW ATTACKS BIGGER THAN 911
GOODYEAR
bin Laden sent a message to all jihad cells in the Arab world six months ago urging them not to interact with their governments or local political parties
More signs of al-Qaidarsquos violent intentions are expected over the next few days the paper reported
The al-Qaida warning comes just one day after The Telegraph newspaper published a leaked government report showing thousands of extremists are active in the UK The document says the operatives are mostly native Brits between 18 and 30 Many have been trained in overseas terrorist camps
Security officials warned that al-Qaida will attempt another ldquospectacularrdquo in the UK likely focused on airports or train stations The Telegraph reported Other potential targets include the Houses of Parliament and Whitehall Buckingham and St Jamesrsquo palaces
MIRACLErsquo TURNAROUND IN DELAWARE EUTHANASIA CASE
The Al-liance Defense
Fund has reached a favorable settlement in a lawsuit that pit-ted a divorced father and mother against
each another over whether their 24-year-old daughter should live
Lauren Richardson sustained a severe brain injury in August 2006 according to an Alli-ance Defense Fund (ADF) press release The doctors then declared she would be in a ldquopersistent vegetative staterdquo ADF attorney Matt Bowman tells OneNews-Now Laurenrsquos mother was fighting to have Laurenrsquos feeding tube and water discontin-ued but she had a change of heart ldquoThe

Laurenrsquos mother became a born-again Christian and visited her daughter at her hospital facility which Bowman believes was quite eye-opening ldquoAnd then an amazing thing happenedrdquo he notes ldquoShe told Lauren that Lauren would be cared for and Lauren started crying and they cried together and she realized that her daughter was really there and was really respondingrdquo Lauren was also responding to pain music family membersrsquo voices touch and assisted exercise The parents have agreed to settle the case and share joint guardianship of Lauren

RUSSIA TO SELL HEAVY ARMS TO LEBANON
by Syria Israel or other foreign in-terventions
The Iran-controlled Lebanese ter-rorist organization Hizbullah in the meantime said recently that an Is-raeli withdrawal from Mt Dov would only be a start The group claims seven Arab villages in northern Is-rael are actually Lebanese In any event both Iran and Hizbullah have repeatedly made it clear that they do not believe Israel should exist at
all regardless of bor-der demarcations A Hizbullah spokesman said last week that the group would not give up it arms until Lebanon had another force capa-ble of confronting Israel
Touching on Lebanese policy towards matters in the Slavic states Hariri was quoted as saying that Lebanon may well recognize the indepen-dence of the breakaway Georgian districts of
South Ossetia and Abkhazia The Russian Vremya Novostei news-paper quoted Hariri as saying ldquoWe will fine tune contacts with South Ossetia and Abkhazia now For example delegations of Lebanese businessmen will be leaving for there soonrdquo Russia has backed the secession of the regions from Georgia including launching a war in their defense in August of this year
In his last Thanksgiving as the Commander in Chief Tuesday President Bush thanked US
troops for a ldquojob well donerdquo noting that even though thousands of soldiers are returning home the war is not yet over
During his visit to Fort Campbell Ky Bush offered comfort for troops coming back home and for those who are pre-paring to deploy again In November alone more than 10000 soldiers had returned to the military base most of them from Iraq
In recent weeks this post has been the scene of heart-warming family reunionsrdquo he said ldquoMany of you have recently finished deployments to Iraq You performed with cour-age and distinction on the front lines of the war on terror You have returned on successrdquo
Still the President warned that ldquothe war in Iraq is not overrdquo and
stressed the importance of victory in the country
ldquoSuccess will frustrate Iranrsquos ambi-tions to dominate the region Suc-cess will show millions across the Middle East that a future of liberty and
democracy is possible Suc-cess will deny al-Qaeda a safe haven for launching new attacksrdquo Bush said ldquoSuccess in Iraq will mean that the Ameri-can people are more secure at homerdquo
Over the next few weeks the White House says 3000 soldiers from the 101st Airborne will deploy to Afghani-stan while 450 will be sent to Iraq In January another 1200 will be de-ployed to Iraq from Fort Campbell
Bush called the work of the troops ldquohistoricalrdquo and and said he expected their efforts in Iraq will resonate far beyond the country and into history books

Fugitive terrorist Osama bin Laden is planning new attacks against the US that will ldquooutdo by farrdquo the attacks of 911
according to a report in a London-based Arabic newspaper
The paper Al-Quds Al-Arabi quotes a former senior Yemeni al-Qaida official saying the terror group is now in a ldquopositive phaserdquo of staff-ing and rebuilding training camps around the globe The action will lead to the next ldquowave of actionrdquo against the US the paper reported
ldquoThis will be shown by the fact that we now control a major part of the south of Somaliardquo the Yemeni source told the paper
According to the report bin Laden is personally involved in the preparations and is looking to ldquochange the face of world politics and econom-icsrdquo
The paper is edited by Abdel al-Bari Atwan the last journalist to interview bin Laden in 1996The Yemeni operative says he remains in contact with current al-Qaida chiefs He claims
BIN LADEN PLANS NEW ATTACKS BIGGER THAN 911
GOODYEAR
bin Laden sent a message to all jihad cells in the Arab world six months ago urging them not to interact with their governments or local political parties
More signs of al-Qaidarsquos violent intentions are expected over the next few days the paper reported
The al-Qaida warning comes just one day after The Telegraph newspaper published a leaked government report showing thousands of extremists are active in the UK The document says the operatives are mostly native Brits between 18 and 30 Many have been trained in overseas terrorist camps
Security officials warned that al-Qaida will attempt another ldquospectacularrdquo in the UK likely focused on airports or train stations The Telegraph reported Other potential targets include the Houses of Parliament and Whitehall Buckingham and St Jamesrsquo palaces
MIRACLErsquo TURNAROUND IN DELAWARE EUTHANASIA CASE
The Al-liance Defense

each another over whether their 24-year-old daughter should live
Lauren Richardson sustained a severe brain injury in August 2006 according to an Alli-ance Defense Fund (ADF) press release The doctors then declared she would be in a ldquopersistent vegetative staterdquo ADF attorney Matt Bowman tells OneNews-Now Laurenrsquos mother was fighting to have Laurenrsquos feeding tube and water discontin-ued but she had a change of heart ldquoThe

nuclear reactor
The documents were being shared with the 35 nations on the IAEArsquos board
On Syria the agency also said that soil samples taken from the bombed site had a ldquosignificant num-berrdquo of chemically processed natu-ral uranium particles A senior UN official who demanded anonymity because the information was restricted said the findings were unusual for a facility that Syria alleges had no nuclear purpose
The same official char-acterized UN attempts to elicit answers from Tehran on al-legations that it had drafted plans for nuclear weapons programs as at a standstill
The Syrian report said ldquoit cannot be excludedrdquo that the building de-stroyed in a remote stretch of the Syrian desert on Sept 6 2007 was ldquointended for non-nuclear userdquo
Still ldquothe features of the building are similar to what may be found in connection with a reactor siterdquo it said suggesting facilityrsquos size also fits that picture
The report took note of Syrian as-sertions that any uranium particles found at the site must have come from Israeli missiles that hit the building near the town of Al Kibar And it cited Damascus officials as saying the IAEA samples contained only a ldquovery limited numberrdquo of such particles
But the report spoke of a ldquosignificant
number of particlesrdquo found in the samples
The senior UN official said ldquothe onus of this investigation is on Syr-iardquo and noted that the traces were not of depleted uranium mdash the most commonly used variety of the met-al in ammunition meant to harden ordnance for increased penetra-
tion
Satellite imagery made public in the wake of the Israeli attack noted that the Syrians subsequent-ly removed substantial amounts of topsoil and entombed the building in concrete But the report also suggested similar activities at three other
Syrian sites of IAEA interest
ldquoAnalysis of satellite imagery taken of these locations indicates that landscaping activities and the re-moval of large containers took place shortly after the agencyrsquos re-quest for accessrdquo it said

Fugitive terrorist Osama bin Laden is planning new attacks against the US that will ldquooutdo by farrdquo the attacks of 911
according to a report in a London-based Arabic newspaper
The paper Al-Quds Al-Arabi quotes a former senior Yemeni al-Qaida official saying the terror group is now in a ldquopositive phaserdquo of staff-ing and rebuilding training camps around the globe The action will lead to the next ldquowave of actionrdquo against the US the paper reported
ldquoThis will be shown by the fact that we now control a major part of the south of Somaliardquo the Yemeni source told the paper
According to the report bin Laden is personally involved in the preparations and is looking to ldquochange the face of world politics and econom-icsrdquo
The paper is edited by Abdel al-Bari Atwan the last journalist to interview bin Laden in 1996The Yemeni operative says he remains in contact with current al-Qaida chiefs He claims
BIN LADEN PLANS NEW ATTACKS BIGGER THAN 911
GOODYEAR
bin Laden sent a message to all jihad cells in the Arab world six months ago urging them not to interact with their governments or local political parties
More signs of al-Qaidarsquos violent intentions are expected over the next few days the paper reported
The al-Qaida warning comes just one day after The Telegraph newspaper published a leaked government report showing thousands of extremists are active in the UK The document says the operatives are mostly native Brits between 18 and 30 Many have been trained in overseas terrorist camps
Security officials warned that al-Qaida will attempt another ldquospectacularrdquo in the UK likely focused on airports or train stations The Telegraph reported Other potential targets include the Houses of Parliament and Whitehall Buckingham and St Jamesrsquo palaces
MIRACLErsquo TURNAROUND IN DELAWARE EUTHANASIA CASE
The Al-liance Defense
Fund has reached a favorable settlement in a lawsuit that pit-ted a divorced father and mother against
each another over whether their 24-year-old daughter should live
Lauren Richardson sustained a severe brain injury in August 2006 according to an Alli-ance Defense Fund (ADF) press release The doctors then declared she would be in a ldquopersistent vegetative staterdquo ADF attorney Matt Bowman tells OneNews-Now Laurenrsquos mother was fighting to have Laurenrsquos feeding tube and water discontin-ued but she had a change of heart ldquoThe
miracle in Lauren Richardsonrsquos case is that both of her parents came to realize that life should be protectedrdquo he explains ldquoItrsquos inherently valuable and just because Lauren has a severe disability doesnrsquot mean that her life is not valuablerdquo
Laurenrsquos mother became a born-again Christian and visited her daughter at her hospital facility which Bowman believes was quite eye-opening ldquoAnd then an amazing thing happenedrdquo he notes ldquoShe told Lauren that Lauren would be cared for and Lauren started crying and they cried together and she realized that her daughter was really there and was really respondingrdquo Lauren was also responding to pain music family membersrsquo voices touch and assisted exercise The parents have agreed to settle the case and share joint guardianship of Lauren

A tremendous pyramid of evidence for design and recent cre-ation is available for detailed study
Romans 120 states ldquoFor the invisible things of him from the creation are clearly seen being understood by the things that are made even his eternal power and Godhead so that they are without excuserdquo1 Human Artifacts throughout the Geologic ColumnMan-made artifacts - such as the hammer in Cretaceous rock a human sandal print with trilobite in Cambrian rock human foot-prints and a handprint in Cretaceous rock ndash point to the fact that all the supposed geologic periods actually occurred at the same time in the recent past11
