Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name. Thy kingdom come. THY WILL BE DONE, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but DELIVER US FROM EVIL.
For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen †

Jesus Christ is Lord
God Is Central
By Pastor Cornelius R. Stam
Paul’s Epistle to the Romans is the foundation book of Christian theology. It brings us face to face with facts we ought to know and must know to be saved.
In the 16th and 17th verses of the first chapter, the apostle declares that he is proud of the gospel because therein the “righteousness”, or rightness of God is revealed.
God had to deal righteously with sin before He could offer salvation to sinners. Sin is not merely an affliction; it is moral wrong and kindles the wrath of a just and holy God.
The wrath of God is too little discussed by modern evangelists and preachers. They like to talk about the love and mercy of God, as though He were a Grand Old Man with a tolerant attitude toward sin. But they never fully appreciate His love and mercy because they do not understand His infinite wrath against sin.
Much evangelism today has become sort of a “try God” gimmick. The pleasures of the world don’t satisfy? Try God. You can’t shake off some terrible bondage? Try God. When all else fails, Try God!
But this humanistic approach is foreign to Scripture. God, His holiness, His wrath against sin and His love in providing salvation — these are central in Scripture, not man and his condition and his needs.
We are not to look upon God as our servant, who will help us in time of need, but as the Holy One whose justice we have offended but who, in infinite grace, paid for our sins Himself so that we might be redeemed. This is why the Epistle to the Romans begins its mighty argument with almost three chapters on the subject of sin. Then follows the Good News of God’s grace in settling the sin question so that we might be “justified freely by His grace, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus” (Rom.3:24).
And thus the same inspired writer declares in Ephesians 2:2-4 that we were “the children of disobedience” and therefore “the children of wrath”, but then goes on to show “God, who is rich in mercy” and “great” in “love”, saves believers by grace, giving them eternal life in Christ, who died for our sins.

Romans 1:16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.
17 For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.
Romans 3:24 Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:
Ephesians 2:2 Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:
3 Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others.
4 But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us,
“God, who is rich in mercy” and “great” in “love”, saves believers by grace, giving them eternal life in Christ, who died for our sins.”
Romans 3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
1 Corinthians 15:1 ¶ Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand;
2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.
3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;
4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
Ephesians 2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.
2 Corinthians 6:1 ¶ We then, as workers together with him, beseech you also that ye receive not the grace of God in vain.
2 (For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.)

Garrison, Alison Krauss is an angel’s angel! She personifies and radiates beauty from deep within her soul.
These are two of my favorite songs from Cold Mountain, which seems appropriate relative to the Uncivil War we’ve been plunged into.
And those who hunt thee down will fail
And you will be my ain true love
We’ll rise above, the scarlet tide
That trickles down through the mountains
And separates, the widow from the bride
Released Nov. 16, 2020 “Believe” by Andrea Bocelli. Alison Krause did a duet of Amazing Grace on the album with Andrea.
Everyone needs to listen to it. Their voices together are silk, magical, Angelic.

The Sctyl (actually pronounced SCUTTLE- Leftists love word games) servers were seized in Germany. These are said to have proof of WIDESPREAD fraud. The Executive Order 1 3 8 4 8 can be found on the Federal Register. It’s dated 12 Sept 2018. Once you read and digest that, I think most will understand the reactions of the Globalists. This is a long ways from over, BUT, conserving our freedoms is important. I expect more than a little violence from the Left. Note that many of those committing violence against Trump supporters ALREADY have Felony records. THAT is not happenstance. I’m sure that Soros, Gates and others still think they can buy their way out of this, and THAT is where the EO comes into play. This election was conducted under a LAWFULLY declared NATIONAL EMERGENCY. Pay special Attention to Sections 2 and 8. Once you understand What can be seized and from WHO, methinks folks will start feeling a bit better. It won’t be easy, but it WILL be done. You may also want to look at the special relationship that exists between the Marine Corp and the Office of POTUS.

Vice President Mike Pence will be in my hometown of Gainesville, Georgia this Friday! He’s going to be at the Olympian Equestrian Center in Chicopee, on Calvary Church Road! Senator Kelly Loeffler and Senator Perdue will be there as well. There is a lot of concern of the Senator run-off here as well!
Living in Georgia, I can’t see a way in heck that Biden won. No way!
I voted for Doug Collins. There is a lot of consternation with folk in this area as to why Gov. Kemp appointed Loeffler for Senate and not Collins. This whole race has been hinky!

THE ETERNAL GOAL
“By Myself have I sworn, saith the Lord, for because thou hast done this thing…that in blessing I will bless thee…” Genesis xxii. 15-19
Abraham has reached the place where he is in touch with the very nature of God, he understands now the Reality of God.
“My goal is God Himself…
At any cost, dear Lord, by and road.”
“At any cost, by any road” means nothing self-chosen in the way God brings us to the goal.
There is no possibility of questioning when God speaks if He speaks to His own nature in me; prompt obedience is the only result. When Jesus says – “Come,” I simply come; when He says – “Let go,” I let go; when He says – “Trust in God in this matter,” I do trust. The whole working out is the evidence that the nature of God is in me.
God’s revelation of Himself to me is determined by my character, not by God’s character.
“‘Tis because I am mean,
Thy ways so oft look mean to me.”
By the discipline of obedience I get to the place where Abraham was and I see Who God is. I never have a real God until have come face to face with Him in Jesus Christ, then I know that “in all the world, my God, there is none but Thee, there is none but Thee.”
The promises of God are of no value to us until by obedience we understand the nature of God. We read some things in the Bible three hundred and sixty-five times and they mean nothing to us, then all of a sudden we see what God means, because in some particular we have obeyed God, and instantly His nature is opened up. “All the promises of God in Him are yea, and in Him Amen.” The “yea” must be born of obedience; when by the obedience of our lives we say “Amen” to a promise, then that promise is ours.

This video was made in 1976 and describes from a Christian perspective our political situation today. It really is uncanny. Francis Sheaffer produced it and narrates it.
Do you think there is any chance that POTUS will convince Barr to appoint special counsels to complete the Russian fraud examination and the Biden family pay-for-play crimes? Clinton has clearly escaped once again.
Btw. I think it is outrageous that WordPress is engaging in blatant censoring of Treehouse.
Pray always. It is the necessary precursor to victory over God’s enemies.
“May God arise, may his enemies be scattered;
may his foes flee before him.
May you blow them away like smoke—
as wax melts before the fire,
may the wicked perish before God.
But may the righteous be glad
and rejoice before God;
may they be happy and joyful.“
—Psalm 68:1-3

Whenever you hear the Davos gangsters talk about reducing “global inequality,” like the Canadian prime minister recently pushing for the “reset,” that phrase is code for promoting three things:
1. Depleting the American middle class and non-public sector working people of all types.
2. Further enriching the Davos gangsters.
3. Further empowering China.

Tracy Beans reports she had a house fire
From the photo, it looks like the front porch was a real hot spot. That isn’t right.
From the absence of a walkway or driveway, I’d guess it is the rear of the house.
Agreed. Maybe a BBQ grill ? Wait for the Fire Marshall’s report is likely best. What a mess and prior to Thanksgiving and Christmas.
lilbirdee12’s prayer:
Our Heavenly Father, Your children come to you tonight to ask for healing and peace throughout our country so that we may return to being One Nation Under God. Guide us to be leaders in Your Kingdom, spreading Your Love and Salvation to all. Forgive us our sins and deliver us from evil.

A prayer for Justice Kavanaugh and Gen. Flynn:
Prayer to St. Michael
St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle;
be our defense against the wickedness and snares of the devil.
May God rebuke him, we humbly pray;
and do you, O prince of the heavenly host,
by the power of God,
thrust into hell Satan and the other evil spirits
who prowl about the world for the ruin of souls.
In Jesus name, we pray. Amen.
Amen
