Are You a Christian?
If the Apostles and other great saints were to follow you around for a week, what would they think of the decisions you make, the candidates you vote for, and the people and actions you tolerate?

How can Jesus justifiably call someone an "evildoer" if he prophesies, casts out demons, and maybe even heals a few people? And he does all this in the name of the Lord??
Have YOU ever cast out a demon or healed anyone? What have YOU done that makes you think you're a Christian?
Do your friends, neighbors, and co-workers think of you as an "extremist," or just an average, normal person? Jesus said "average" and "normal" makes Him sick:

While there's something superficially impressive about our computers, televisions, microwave ovens, and other technology, our pursuit of these trinkets reeks of a fundamental selfishness.
Do you recall Jesus saying this:
|
When was the last time you visited someone in prison?
Jesus said many things like this that offended even those who were His disciples:
John 6:66 From that time many of His disciples went back, and walked no more with Him.
And of course, the religious leaders of His day wanted Jesus the Great Teacher and Healer put to death!
Are you sure that you would be a follower of Jesus if He were here today? Are you sure you wouldn't side with the authorities and experts who denounced Jesus and His followers? Are you willing to be a part of a small minority, rather than the vast majority?
Consider someone we'll call Mr. Smith.
Mr. Smith thinks he's a great Christian.
Mr. Smith publicly criticizes certain government policies that favor abortion and homosexuality, and goes to church every Sunday, in a conservative, "Bible-believing" denomination. He's even on the church board.
Yet . . .
Every day Smith performs acts which the Bible describes as "abominable." (No, I'm not talking about what he eats.) These acts involve theft from weak and defenseless people. Smith makes money performing these acts, and he gives hundreds of thousands of dollars to communist dictators and henchmen of the "New World Order." His contributions have financed the murder of millions. He has taken an oath of allegiance to an occultic organization, and this oath was declared by the U.S. Supreme Court (1844, 1989) to indicate agreement with a "form of infidelity," that is, opposition to Biblical Christianity.
Now, before I identify this man of lawlessness, I want to ask you a question: Are you willing to obey God's Law at any cost?
I'm not going to try to set this argument up as eloquently as Nathan did when he spoke to King David.
You will probably say Yes, you are committed to follow God's Word and you will probably say that anyone who does the things I've accused "Smith" of doing is a rank Secular Humanist and a very evil man.
But suppose I were to say that YOU are the man I've called "Smith"? Suppose I were to show you how YOU have committed "abominable" acts, have stolen from the poor, have given hundreds of thousands of dollars to communist dictators, have helped murder millions (or have at least remained silent), have promised loyalty to an occultic organization, and would be identified by the U.S. Supreme Court as an "infidel." I wager you would say, "Well, not really; not in the same way; that doesn't really count." Hedge, hedge; fudge, fudge. God's Law turns out to mean something for Bill Clinton and Boris Yeltzin, but not for you.
If you really are serious about following God's Law, then consider the following carefully.
In 1892 the United States Supreme Court declared that America was a Christian nation.
Really?
If George Washington and other signers of the Constitution were to follow you around for a week, what would they think of the decisions you make, the candidates you vote for, and the people and actions you tolerate?
|
What have you pledged of your substance to preserve the things that made America great: "Liberty Under God."
What material things have you sacrificed to preserve the spiritual foundations of America?
What "Valley Forge" have you endured, or are you prepared to endure?
|
Are you a good Christian?
Are you "fit for the Kingdom?”
Not everyone is called to endure what the Apostle Paul endured, but what are you willing to endure?
2 Corinthians 11:24 Five times I have received from the Jews the forty lashes minus one.
25 Three times I was beaten with rods. Once I received a stoning. Three times I was shipwrecked; for a night and a day I was adrift at sea;
26 on frequent journeys, in danger from rivers, danger from bandits, danger from my own people, danger from Gentiles, danger in the city, danger in the wilderness, danger at sea, danger from false brothers and sisters;
27 in toil and hardship, through many a sleepless night, hungry and thirsty, often without food, cold and naked.
Would you be willing to lose your microwave oven, or your television, if that were necessary to follow Christ?
Would you LIKE to be the kind of American that George Washington would be proud of?
Would you LIKE to be the kind of Christian that would please God? Hebrews 13:16, 21
Why you should
subscribe to the most expensive newsletter in America
It could cost you more than
$7,000/yr!
Surprisingly, it really doesn't take much to follow Christ. Jesus says His burden is light, and His yoke is easy (Matthew 11:30). John says His commandments are not grievous (1 John 5:3).
Many Americans say they are "independent" and don't believe in "yokes." But the question is not WHETHER we will be under a yoke, but WHOSE yoke we will be under. Wouldn't you rather be under a yoke that's easy? Wouldn't you rather be the slave of a Master who desires only your best? Why accept being an illiterate and dependent slave of a "fearful master?"
What it takes is allegiance. Total commitment. You must be willing to renounce the old country and declare your allegiance to a new Kingdom.
It’s astonishing how many people today are unwilling to make this commitment.
It’s unbelievable how many people prefer dictatorship and poverty over liberty and prosperity.
I'm willing to bet you $139 that the Apostles and America's Founding Fathers would not be impressed with you.
In fact, I think I can prove from the pages of the Bible that you're a wimp and a disgrace to the ideals they bravely fought to protect. They wouldn't consider you a good Christian at all.
I'll bet you.
Hebrews 11:32 And what more should I say? For time would fail me to tell of Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, of David and Samuel and the prophets--
33 who through faith conquered kingdoms, administered justice, obtained promises, shut the mouths of lions,
34 quenched raging fire, escaped the edge of the sword, won strength out of weakness, became mighty in war, put foreign armies to flight.
35 Women received their dead by resurrection. Others were tortured, refusing to accept release, in order to obtain a better resurrection.
36 Others suffered mocking and flogging, and even chains and imprisonment.
37 They were stoned to death, they were sawn in two, they were killed by the sword; they went about in skins of sheep and goats, destitute, persecuted, tormented--
38 of whom the world was not worthy. They wandered in deserts and mountains, and in caves and holes in the ground.
Just thinking about these great Christians makes you realize I'm right, doesn't it?
You don't realize how right you are. You're a disgrace as a Christian. And I can prove it from page after page of Scriptures that haven't been heard in government schools for over 100 years.
Let me win this bet.
Click the link below. It's free. It costs you nothing. No credit card information will be demanded. You will not be spammed.
Just "SEND" the email. You will receive a free examination within 60 seconds by email. Answer the questions in privacy. Pray about it. I will prove that you're you're a rotten Christian. I will prove that you've been dumbed down by government-regulated schools, and know less about what it means to be a great Christian than the average third-grader knew 100 years ago.
And if you admit that I've proven my theory, and if you admit that you lost the bet -- but won a great deal of knowledge about what it means to be a great Christian -- I'll give you your $139 back.
Then I'll offer to sell you subscription to a newsletter showing you how to be a great Christian. Practical steps you can take every day, just a few minutes a day, to make you a truly great Christian. One that would have been applauded by great Christians of the past, and that will be admired by your children and great-grandchildren. You'll gladly pay $139 for a life-time subscription to this newsletter, and I'll still give you your $139 back any time you ask for it, until the day you or I die.
That's a lifetime guarantee.
That's a life-changing guarantee.
Send for the free exam. Admit that it's time to become a new person. Admit that I've won the bet.
It's free.
Then, after you take the quiz and admit I've won the bet, I will describe my newsletter, and how it can make you into a great Christian, step-by-step. How you can regain the self-respect I just got through decimating, and how you can gain the admiration of your children, your neighbors, your co-workers, your employees, your nation.
I will describe in detail how I will accomplish this, what steps you can take, and how easy it is to do the right thing compared with the pain of doing things wrong.
You can take the money you should pay me for winning the bet and use it to subscribe.
You will realize instantly that this is what you've been looking for.
And you'll pay up on your bet.
I promise I won't tell anyone what a low grade you got on this test.
But you will.
You'll tell your friends how your eyes were opened, and you'll bet them you can prove they're not good Christians, and they'll subscribe too.
Is $139 too much for a life-time subscription to my email newsletter?
$139 is just the beginning of how much this newsletter is going to cost you.
This is the most expensive newsletter you'll ever subscribe to.
Let's look at the costs:
Suppose you make $20.00 an hour. Chances are you make more than this, or you wouldn't have read this far. You're highly educated. You're a professional. If you're a lawyer you bill your time at more than $100/hr.
When you lose this bet and realize you need to subscribe to my email newsletter, you're committing yourself to read an email every day. Each day's prescription will take about 10 minutes to read and commit to. During the day you will find numerous opportunities to think about the principles you read in that morning's email newsletter, and you may have to jot down some entries in your To-Do calendar. Later than night you'll probably return to your email and click a couple of links to informative and helpful webpages for additional information and recommendations. You'll have to ask your spouse for feedback. You'll be compelled to talk to your children about the Biblical principles great saints have fought to protect.
These minutes will add up.
All in all, you can expect to have to cut out at least 45 minutes to 1 hour of nauseating, paralyzing, dumbing-down commercial TV each day. Maybe more.
This is time that you could be billing. This is money you could be earning.
"Time is money."
Reading my newsletter and following up on its counsel could very well cost you an hour of your time each day, and that can add up to . . .well, do the math. At $20.00/hr it comes to more than $7000/yr.
This is truly the most expensive newsletter you can subscribe to.
But you'll think it's worth it.
Or I'll give you the $139 I won from you fair and square.
If you're like most bad Christians these days, you wouldn't value this newsletter if it were free. But if you pay big bucks for it, you'll value it more. You'll have an incentive to take the time, and develop the discipline to use this newsletter like it's meant to be used.
And if you're smart (unlike most Christians), you'll realize that even if it were free, the newsletter is still costing you -- in time.
"I sacrificed $7,000 this year to read this newsletter and follow its recommendations" you'll tell your friends. "But it was worth every penny."
I'm confident you're going to get your friends to subscribe too.
You'll start working on its recommendations with them.
During lunch at work, over coffee and doughnuts after church, maybe on a weekend retreat.
$139 from you and your friends will help me pay my rent, and my children will live in a better America.
You have nothing to lose.
You have the character of Christ to gain.
