WESTSIDE BAPTIST CHURCH, BRUNSWICK, OH.

PASTOR DAVIS BECAME THE PASTOR IN 2005 WITH A VERY SMALL GROUP OF FOLKS (PERHAPS THIRTY FIVE) AND THE CHURCH BASICALLY ON IT'S LAST LEGS - MANY HAD SAID TO "JUST LET IT DIE"......PASTOR DAVIS KNEW THAT THE LORD WANTED A VIBRANT CHURCH HERE IN THIS AREA AND BEGAN IMMEDIATELY TO REBUILD. THE NAME WAS CHANGED AS WAS THE DIRECTION AND PASTORIAL LEADERSHIP. THE LORD HAS WROUGHT A GREAT VICTORY HERE WITH THE CHURCH NOW RUNNING ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY FIVE OR SO. IT IS A BEAUTIFUL PLACE TO WORSHIP. PASTOR DAVIS IS A WONDERFUL, MUCH LOVED, PASTOR WITH A CHURCH OF SWEET AND KIND PEOPLE. THE LORD SAVED FIVE DEAR SOULS SUNDAY WITH THE OLD FASHIONED ALTAR FULL ON SUNDAY EVENING. I CAN HARDLY WAIT TO SEE WHAT HE IS GOING TO DO TONIGHT.

GREAT HOPE BAPTIST CHURCH, CARSISLE, PA.

THE MEETINGS CLOSED TONIGHT WITH A GREAT CROWD OF GREAT HOPE FOLKS AND SEVERAL VISITORS. TWO OF THE VISITORS, A YOUNG MAN AND HIS GIRLFRIEND WERE SAVED THIS EVENING AND ONCE AGAIN THE OLD FASHIONED ALTAR WAS IN USE. THE YOUNG MAN THAT WAS SAVED AND WAS ABOUT TO ENLIST IN THE MARINE CORPS, HEARD THAT I WAS PREACHING AT GREAT HOPE, AND CAME HE THOUGH, JUST TO TALK. WE TALKED ALL RIGHT BUT VERY LITTLE ABOUT THE CORPS AND LOTS ABOUT THE LORD. IF WE CAN JUST GET THE LOST UNDER THE SOUND OF THE GOSPEL THE LORD WILL SAVE THEM OR OPEN THEIR HEARTS FOR FOLLOW UP. ONE TWENTY-ONE YEAR OLD YOUNG LADY WAS SO CONVICTED ABOUT HER OWN PERSONAL STANDARDS OF DRESS THAT SHE AGREED WITH THE LORD TO WEAR CLOTHING THAT ONLY CHRISTIAN LADIES WEAR. CAN YOU HEAR ME SHOUTING ABOUT THIS? THE LORD CONVICTED ANOTHER LADY ABOUT HER PUNY EFFORTS TO HAVE HER DEVOTIONS AND BIBLE READING AT NIGHT AND PRAYING FOR VICTORIES OVER BATTLES THAT SHE HAD ALREADY LOST. SHE BEGAN THIS WEEK TO PRAY AND HAVE HER DEVOTIONS EARLY AND INDICATED THAT THE LORD HAD ALREADY CHANGED HER LIFE WITH VICTORY VICE DEFEAT.

THEN THE EVENING SERVICE WAS WELL ATTENDED AND THE OLD FASHIONED ALTAR WAS GREATLY USED. ONLY THE LORD KNOWS WHAT DECISIONS WERE MADE AND HOPEFULLY THERE WILL BE FRUIT THAT REMAINS. PRAY FOR GOD TO MEET WITH US AND TO HAVE HIS WAY IN THE HEARTS AND LIVES OF THESE GOOD PEOPLE. CARSISLE AS MANY OF YOU KNOW WAS THE WESTERN MOST OUTPOST OF THE ARMY BACK IN THE INDIAN WAR DAYS. IT IS NOW THE HOME OF CARSISLE BARRACKS WHERE THE U. S. ARMY HAS IT'S WAR COLLEGE. ATTENDEE'S AT THE COLLEGE ARE ALL LTCOL AND COLONEL AND USUALLY ARE SELECTEE'S HEADED FOR COMMAND DUTY AND GREATER PROMOTION. ONE MIGHT SAY THAT THIS IS THE CREAM OF THE CROP. PRAY FOR ME AS I WILL BE ADDRESSING A RATHER LARGE GROUP OF "CHRISTIAN MEN AND WOMEN" AT THEIR WEEKLY PRAYER SESSION. THIS IS AN HONOR AND GREAT OPPORTUNITY FOR A CLEAR PRESENTATION OF THE GOSPEL. SOME WILL INVITE THEIR LOST FRIENDS SO PRAY THAT THE LORD WILL SAVE SOME.

Pioneer is pastored by Fred Laughman pronounced (Lockman) and is now located in a former catholic church that just over the state line in New Hampshire. It is a beautiful location and beautiful church. One visiting young man was saved this morning.

Grace Baptist Church, Jacksonville, NC.

What a great start we had this Lord’s Day, the beginning of a family advance where i spoke of the "beatitudes for married couples”. Oh how the Lord "got it in".....several were saved in the morning service and then this evening God filled the altars to full capacity with one dear navy corpsman surrendering for time service. Many of you may not know but this church is full of marines and navy corpsman all of which have served in Afghanistan or Iraq at least twice. Many have been wounded but all want to go back as soon as possible. Now what could make a man want to do that..........love of country, love of corps, love of God, and love of the fight!

Charity Baptist Church, Killeen, TX.

Pastor Strickland started this work approximately four years ago and is doing a very good job. The church has about four members and is meeting in his home at the present. They have purchased property and plan to build as the Lord provides. Three prayed with me last evening to receive the Lord Jesus as Saviour. One teen age visiting girl was saved and I believe two young boys were saved also. Time will tell! Pray with me for this young work. Pray for healing amongst the members as many have come out of a terrible situation.

Victory Baptist Church, Vergennes, VT

I preached an annual wild game dinner on Saturday evening (their fifth) and ten were saved. Seven filled out cards with three only raising their hands that they too received the Lord Jesus as Saviour. Sunday morning there were seven more who walked the isle and received the Lord and Sunday evening three more were saved. Twenty dear souls on two days - oh how good our God is. He certainly moved on the hearts of folks there in the Northland. Vergennes is just north of Lake Champlain and very near the Canadian border. It is absolutely lovely country. Pastor Taylor has been there twenty-one years with a church of approximately two hundred and twenty. He has asked for a return meeting and I am already looking forward to a return.

Capitol Baptist Church, Dover, DE

What a wonderful day we had at Capitol Baptist. The Lord saved one dear soul in the 8:30 am service and three in the 11:00 am service plus I taught Sunday school between services. The evening service concluded with an altar call so strong that folks could hardly get to the altar. Pastor Moore is a wonderful kind man with a heart for God and God's people. When in Dover be sure to drop by Capitol Baptist.

Faith Baptist Church, Colonial Heights, VA.

The Lord saved two more ladies this evening and closed our meeting our with a tremendously long altar call. My how the folk of God did business with the Lord tonight. No one left after invitation but stood around rejoicing with one another. God certainly met with us this evening. Thank you folks for your continued support. We love you all and thank you for holding the rope with us. I am on to Dover, Delaware tomorrow. Warm regards to you all.

Faith Baptist Church, Colonial Heights, VA.

The Lord began the meeting by saving one dear (visitor) lady on Sunday morning and then a wonderful evening service, attended by what I believe to be more folks than the morning service. The altar was full on Sunday evening. What a sight to see God's dear people worshipping our great God. The church has undergone a complete refit since I was here three years ago - new pews, new carpet, new choir chairs matching the pew material - my what a difference and how beautiful the auditorium is. Pray with me for a young man recently returned from Afghanistan who is suffering from post stress disorder. He and I talked briefly yesterday and he has agreed to talk with me later. He is saved, has a wife with one child and she is expecting. Much prayer is needed here.

Southside Baptist Church, Rock Hill, SC

Our Annual Wild Game Supper was a tremendous success Saturday evening. I am not sure how many were present but it exceeded two hundred. The food was delicious, the fellowship wonderful and the Lord moved on the hearts of five dear souls who accepted him as Lord and Saviour. Pastor Walters had gifts for almost everyone in attendance.

Fellowship Baptist Church, Fairmont, WV

What a great meeting we had last week at Fellowship Baptist. The Lord saved six dear souls during the week with the last one a twenty year old young man who got lost before the service and then got found at the invitation. Pastor Stevenson and his staff certainly know how to promote and a meeting. I preached three times in Calvary Christian School and as always these are some of the most well behaved young people in America. What a joy it was to preach "for" them.

Fellowship Baptist Church, Fairmont, WV.

I just learned that we had one more saved on Sunday evening as a young boy went home after the service and informed his mother that "I want to be saved".........she led him to the Lord. That's five saved on Sunday. Monday evening the Lord blessed with a great altar call as folks availed themselves of the altar and poured out their hearts for God's blessings. Please continue to pray as the weather has cleared and the snow almost gone. Still bitterly cold however.

Fellowship Baptist Church, Fairmont, WV.

Sunday was a snowy cold day but the warmth of God's Word spoke to hearts. One dear lady was saved (her husband was saved four weeks ago). Her husband broke down and wept and ran out of the church to find her. It was a memorable sight. Then last evening she brought two of her sons back to church and the Lord saved her eighteen year old son (the other son was already saved) and two other young men were saved. The old gospel is still getting the job done and in an old fashioned way - preaching, no concert, no elevation, no handouts, no gimmicks, no marsh mellow Joel Olsten presentations--- no, just preaching that heaven is sweet and hell is hot! Thank you Lord!

Rossville Bible Church, Rossville, KS

Several saved (exact number not known) at the Rossville Bible Church in Rossville, Kansas. Steve Gee, a wonderful pastor, and his wife Debbie have been with this small group of folks now for many years and doing what can be called nothing short of an exceptional job of ministry. The Lord blessed with visitors each service with one new family indicating that they were now coming to this church. I am looking forward to a return revival in February 2011. God surly met with us as Pastor Gee informed me that on the Lord's day many had good testimonies as to what the Lord had done for them and that there was a spirit of excitement in the church. Praise the Lord!

Faith Baptist Church, Waverly, VA.

The Twenty First Annual Wild Game Dinner was held at Faith Baptist church gym. There was close to three hundred men and boys in attendance and the Lord saved nineteen dear souls. If you have never attended one of these you might make plans to at next years dinner. It will be held on January 22, 2010 beginning at six o’clock pm. I have preached all of the dinners, from it's inception to the most recent. Praise the Lord for His goodness.

Faith Baptist Church, North Highlands, CA

What a wonderful closing we had tonight (Wed) - four were saved two men visiting, one older lady and young boy. We had a good number of visitors once again and great altar call. Pastor was beside himself as the Spirit of God seemed to meet with us and was dealing with many of the folks. What a blessing these dear people are - they sent my wife a beautiful vase of flowers and nice card expressing their thankfulness with the meetings. I look forward to a return meeting perhaps in 2012.

Faith Baptist Church, North Highlands, CA

Great services Sunday morning with large crowd and excellent response to the message. Monday evening the Lord saved a seventy-two year old man. Pastor Rogers has been here for eighteen years and has completely renovated the complex. It is absolutely beautiful. When in Sacramento be to visit this is a wonderful warm church full of friendly people. Mike Rogers is one of the most hospitable pastors you will find. What a very real pleasure it is to minister the word here in this church.

The Obama Presidency: Here Comes Socialism

The Obama Presidency: Here Comes Socialism
By Dick Morris

2009-2010 will rank with 1913-14, 1933-36, 1964-65 and 1981-82 as years that will permanently change our government, politics and lives. Just as the stars were aligned for Wilson, Roosevelt, Johnson and Reagan, they are aligned for Obama. Simply put, we enter his administration as free-enterprise, market-dominated, laissez-faire America. We will shortly become like Germany, France, the United Kingdom, or Sweden -- a socialist democracy in which the government dominates the economy, determines private-sector priorities and offers a vastly expanded range of services to many more people at much higher taxes.

Obama will accomplish his agenda of "reform" under the rubric of "recovery." Using the electoral mandate bestowed on a Democratic Congress by restless voters and the economic power given his administration by terrified Americans, he will change our country fundamentally in the name of lifting the depression. His stimulus packages won't do much to shorten the downturn -- although they will make it less painful -- but they will do a great deal to change our nation.

In implementing his agenda, Barack Obama will emulate the example of Franklin D. Roosevelt. (Not the liberal mythology of the New Deal, but the actuality of what it accomplished.) When FDR took office, he was enormously successful in averting a total collapse of the banking system and the economy. But his New Deal measures only succeeded in lowering the unemployment rate from 23 percent in 1933, when he took office, to 13 percent in the summer of 1937. It never went lower. And his policies of over-regulation generated such business uncertainty that they triggered a second-term recession. Unemployment in 1938 rose to 17 percent and, in 1940, on the verge of the war-driven recovery, stood at 15 percent. (These data and the real story of Hoover's and Roosevelt's missteps, uncolored by ideology, are available in The Forgotten Man by Amity Shlaes, copyright 2007.)

But in the name of a largely unsuccessful effort to end the Depression, Roosevelt passed crucial and permanent reforms that have dominated our lives ever since, including Social Security, the creation of the Securities and Exchange Commission, unionization under the Wagner Act, the federal minimum wage and a host of other fundamental changes.

Obama's record will be similar, although less wise and more destructive. He will begin by passing every program for which liberals have lusted for decades, from alternative-energy sources to school renovations, infrastructure repairs and technology enhancements. These are all good programs, but they normally would be stretched out for years. But freed of any constraint on the deficit -- indeed, empowered by a mandate to raise it as high as possible -- Obama will do them all rather quickly.

But it is not his spending that will transform our political system, it is his tax and welfare policies. In the name of short-term stimulus, he will give every American family (who makes less than $200,000) a welfare check of $1,000 euphemistically called a refundable tax credit. And he will so sharply cut taxes on the middle class and the poor that the number of Americans who pay no federal income tax will rise from the current one-third of all households to more than half. In the process, he will create a permanent electoral majority that does not pay taxes, but counts on ever-expanding welfare checks from the government. The dependency on the dole, formerly limited in pre-Clinton days to 14 million women and children on Aid to Families with Dependent Children, will now grow to a clear majority of the American population.

Will he raise taxes? Why should he? With a congressional mandate to run the deficit up as high as need be, there is no reason to raise taxes now and risk aggravating the depression. Instead, Obama will follow the opposite of the Reagan strategy. Reagan cut taxes and increased the deficit so that liberals could not increase spending. Obama will raise spending and increase the deficit so that conservatives cannot cut taxes. And, when the economy is restored, he will raise taxes with impunity, since the only people who will have to pay them would be rich Republicans.

In the name of stabilizing the banking system, Obama will nationalize it. Using Troubled Asset Relief Program funds to write generous checks to needy financial institutions, his administration will demand preferred stock in exchange. Preferred stock gets dividends before common stockholders do. With the massive debt these companies will owe to the government, they will only be able to afford dividends for preferred stockholders -- the government, not private investors. So who will buy common stock? And the government will demand that its bills be paid before any profits that might materialize are reinvested in the financial institution, so how will the value of the stocks ever grow? Devoid of private investors, these institutions will fall ever more under government control.

Obama will begin the process by limiting executive compensation. Then he will urge restructuring and lowering of home mortgages in danger of default (as the feds have already done with Citibank).

Then will come guidance on the loans to make and government instructions on the types of enterprises to favor. God grant that some Blagojevich type is not in charge of the program, using his power to line his pockets. The United States will find itself with an economic system comparable to that of Japan, where the all-powerful bureaucracy at MITI (Ministry of International Trade and Industry) manages the economy, often making mistakes like giving mainframe computers priority over the development of laptops.

But it is the healthcare system that will experience the most dramatic and traumatic of changes. The current debate between erecting a Medicare-like governmental single payer or channeling coverage through private insurance misses the essential point. Without a lot more doctors, nurses, clinics, equipment and hospital beds, health resources will be strained to the breaking point. The people and equipment that now serve 250 million Americans and largely neglect all but the emergency needs of the other 50 million will now have to serve everyone. And, as government imposes ever more Draconian price controls and income limits on doctors, the supply of practitioners and equipment will decline as the demand escalates. Price increases will be out of the question, so the government will impose healthcare rationing, denying the older and sicker among us the care they need and even barring them from paying for it themselves. (Rationing based on income and price will be seen as immoral.)

And Obama will move to change permanently the partisan balance in America. He will move quickly to legalize all those who have been in America for five years, albeit illegally, and to smooth their paths to citizenship and voting. He will weaken border controls in an attempt to hike the Latino vote as high as he can in order to make red states like Texas into blue states like California. By the time he is finished, Latinos and African-Americans will cast a combined 30 percent of the vote. If they go by top-heavy margins for the Democrats, as they did in 2008, it will assure Democratic domination (until they move up the economic ladder and become good Republicans).

And he will enact the check-off card system for determining labor union representation, repealing the secret ballot in union elections. The result will be to raise the proportion of the labor force in unions up to the high teens from the current level of about 12 percent.

Finally, he will use the expansive powers of the Federal Communications Commission to impose "local" control and ownership of radio stations and to impose the "fairness doctrine" on talk radio. The effect will be to drive talk radio to the Internet, fundamentally change its economics, and retard its growth for years hence.

But none of these changes will cure the depression. It will end when the private sector works through the high debt levels that triggered the collapse in the first place. And, then, the large stimulus package deficits will likely lead to rapid inflation, probably necessitating a second recession to cure it.

So Obama's name will be mud by 2012 and probably by 2010 as well. And the Republican Party will make big gains and regain much of its lost power.

But it will be too late to reverse the socialism of much of the economy, the demographic change in the electorate, the rationing of healthcare by the government, the surge of unionization and the crippling of talk radio.

Sweet Springs Baptist Church, Ardmore, AL

Our Fourth Annual Wild Game Supper was without doubt the best so far. Three hundred and twenty were in attendance with the Lord saving thirty some odd souls. The church purchased twenty-five bible to present to those saved. They ran out of Bibles and could not get to some of those saved due to the crush of those in attendance. We got twenty-five cards on those we were able to reach. What a wonderful difficulty to have. The supper was held once again at Bobo's Black Angus Ranch where every building is painted white and adorned with a red metal roof, thousands of acres of beautiful landscape. All the boys sixteen and below received a knife; several deer stands were given away; a new browning auto five shotgun; several rifles of different calibers; a new trailer; a s/w .40 cal automatic; scores of BB guns and rods and reels given away. and...........the food was out of this world. Two large pots of chicken stew and Brunswick stew were cooked all day to feed all those in attendance.

Sunday at Sweet Springs the Lord saved two souls in the morning service. One of these was a Church of Christ man who had just been released from the hospital and had been invited to attend; the other was the son of a long time member.
