Everyone's a Winner?

I am sure that you have heard people say: "Everyone's a winner!", or "Nobody is a loser". You have probably also seen competitions where everyone gets an award. (like the car show trophies to the right) What is this all about? Oh, little Johnny might grow up to be a horrible person because he lost a foot race and didn't get a prize?! No, we don't want to damage a child's delicate self-esteem. Wow, really? I mean, sure, we should teach good sportsmanship, but I really do not like this "everyone's a winner" mentality.

Children need to know that there are winners and losers in life. That's just a fact. Life is not a duckpond at the carnival. At some point we need to realize that we have to strive to be the best in order to be recognized for it.

So why is this such a big deal. Think about it. What's to say that when we teach all of our children that they are all the same and there are no losers, and they apply that to their spiritual lives? Will they assume that there are no losers in eternity? After all, nobody is going to hell, because we're all winners, right?

Am I going out on a limb to contrast winner versus losers to sinner versus the forgiven? I man much smarter than I am once told me that in order to properly consider an idea, you must take it all the way to it's end result or conclusion. If everyone is a winner, then nobody is a loser. Likewise, if everyone is a winner, than we can't all be sinners.

Let me know if I am just way off base or if this makes sense to you...

49,551,703 Murders

Yes, you read that right. In the United States, there have been nearly 50 MILLION recorded instances of the taking of innocent life since 1973, when Roe vs. Wade was passed. These recorded instances were performed "legally" in institutions across America. This does not account for the thousands of abortions performed illegally over the years or abortions that were not recorded.

I want you to have a perspective on that number. The number of Jews that were murdered during the Holocaust was approximately 5,709,329. This means that are responsible for killing nearly 10 times as many babies as there were Jews killed during that terrible time in history!

So to say that "Abortion is the Holocaust of the Unborn" is a huge understatement. What effect is this having on the morality of our country? Hitler is the most commonly used example of an evil man in our day, while people shrug off abortion. I bet he was a big fan of abortion. After all, what we are doing today makes his effort to rid the world of "unwanted" humans look like child's play.

Are you angry yet? You should be. At a later time, after my stomach stops churning, I may blog about the torture aspect of abortion compared to the torture endured by Holocaust victims. Beucase anyone who thinks that an snuffing out the life of a child is as painless and harmless as snuffing out a candle is completely heartless and ignorant.

Nancy Pelosi Loves "The Word"

Watch this short 1 minute clip below of Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi before reading further.



Can you believe this?! This is coming from one of the biggest supporters of abortion to ever set foot on the floor of The House! Maybe she needs to spend a little more time in "The Word" and a little less time advocating for killing babies.

Chuck Harding - Great Preacher and True Patriot

If you have your doubts about whether you should be involved in politics or not, this man will set you straight! I encourage you to watch this 46 minute video (in five parts). It is very encouraging and challenging. I promise you that you will learn something new within the first few minutes. I was made aware of Chuck Harding by my Mother. He preached at her church and of course she got me a copy! It was excellent. This is not the exact sermon that I have on CD, but it is very similar, and equally important.
