Riding home tonight, I was able to hear, on Fox News, all of the details of the "B3 Summit involving a "white" policeman, a "black" professor, and the President of the United States of America!
How utterly embarrassing to our Nation. Our current President has managed to demean and disgrace the office with which he holds. Sometime during the course of this Thursday, our President has invited the, now famous police officer and a Harvard (I believe) Professor to the White House for the purpose of brokering a peace agreement between the 3 of them over a few "beers". Isn't that just wonderful. Why would I think this. And by the way, before I continue, I expect some of the people that I know, who know that I profess to be Christian to believe that I have fallen "over the edge" over this, and I probably have, but as an American, I feel disgraced and embarrassed for the office he is disparaging.
Of course, as we all understand, as intelligent Americans, is that the reason Mr. Obama wishes to do this and wants the American public to know about it (via media) is so he can be seen as a peacemaker. Indeed, a peacemaker. Now I do understand that Mr Obama is NOT the Antichrist, but he is the closest thing this country has ever seen as a "forerunner" to the Antichrist, and we better grab hold of our "backsides" because it is "coming" and coming quickly.
Why would I want to address this, simplest of issues? I choose to answer this question with a question. And my question is, "Why is this Presidential intervention so ABSOLUTELY necessary, at the tax-payers expense, when we are looking down the barrel of very dangerous weapons of mass destruction from both Korea and Iran?" Why is this necessary when we still have men and women dying on foriegn soil? Why does our President believe that it is so important that he NOT humble himself and admit that he made some immature remarks concerning this police/citizen event, in otherwise, apologize?
We have a Nation which economically is very nearly "on its knees" in a choke hold, we have the unemployment rate at dangerously close to 10%, we have an administration who has already bankrupted our children and grand children's futures and attempting to reach out to even further generations with his "debt-ability" and our President, using the tools of the office for which he was elected by the American people, negotiating a "peace treaty" between himself and two other "insignificant others" (no disrespect intended to these two men).
This is not laughable! This is tragic. As I watched the news over the weekend, I noticed that Senator John McCain made a "one word" reference to what is taking place in our country today..."INEXPERIENCE"! And by the way, as Christian men and women, you should also be furious about the "carryings on" in our Nations Capitol and our Presidents office. This is more "disrespect" and "disgrace" than I have ever seen take place in the highest office in our land than I have seen or heard of in 58 years of life.
While our Nation "teeters" on possible total destruction while other rogue nations continue to aim their animosity at our husbands and wives, mothers and fathers, our children and grandchildren, our President has openly and publically announced that he fears more, the embarrassment and humiliation of his remarks than the safety and freedom of our Nation.
If you are reading this post, it is truly time to stand up and take action. I don't know if I have the right, but I would call for the "Impeachment" of this treasonous traitor to our Nation and all of the thugs he brought with him. As for you, you should be "hopping" mad and wanting to make a difference.
How do you think you can do that? I don't know what legal recourse can be taken and calling for Impeachment of our President may be immature on my own part, however, we have a true and legal election process which will take place again in 2010. At that election you can make a difference by "firing" every "incumbent" who has "lapped" with leisure, the water of freedom that so many people died to give them. Remember, this is your country, not Mr. Obama and his cronies.
If you disagree with my comments, please remember that I have always, in the past, spoken based on the only absolute in this world, "The Word Of God" and take time to think of the bigger picture.
If you choose to do nothing, then "say nothing" when it all begins to sink.
God Help Our Nation,

Cosing Down Website www.nowwhut.org
This website has been up and serving the world for several years now and tonight I scheduled it to be shut down effective August 1, 2009. It cost money, I, sure you all know, to maintain these websites and so effective this Saturday, www.nowwhut.org will be no more. The blog at www.nowwhutaz.blogspot.com will continue to function as the cost of this blog is "null" so I will continue this blog and as soon as I have reorganized my thoughts, will begin, once again to do blogging as much as possible, hopefully daily.
I have appreciated all of your support on the website www.nowwhut.org but it has worn out its usefulness. That's a polite way of saying that I can no longer afford to maintain the site. It has been a pleasure and I would love to continue to receive your comments on www.nowwhutaz.blogspot.com. Anytime you have something to say, you simply click on "comment" at the bottom of each blog and tell me what is on your mind.
God has truly blessed during this time. Cancer updates will continue to flow through the blog now.
Once again, by the grace of God www.nowwhut.org has existed and its usefulness has run its course so it will close on August 1, 2009.
Thanks for your support.
I love and pray for you all!

Can You Say "EXULT"
"...we exult (shout) in our tribulations, knowing that tribulation brings about perseverance, and perseverance , proven character, and proven character, hope; and hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out within our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us" (Romans 5:3-5).
Christians are nowhere guaranteed immunity from life's storms. Christian faith is developed by the trials we go through. God grants to us peace because of the access we have in Jesus Christ and Jesus Christ is the hope of the world. In fact, that is what Paul means when he says in verse 1 "Therefore, having been justified by faith we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ." I think I have made this reference before but it bears repeating that when we realize that we have been "justified" it is "just as if I'd never sinned." That is a good way to remember these verses of scripture. And once again "we exult (shout) in hope of the glory of God.
When you live your life, do you "shout" about the glory you have received in God? Does your perseverance increase? Are you developing Godly character in the sight of your peers? You should be! It was no small task that Jesus took on on our behalf. He had no other reason to even come down here to earth. He could have taken care of everything with one "blink" of His eye, but He took on the nature of a man, to see that you and I would be able to shout about the glory we have received.
No little task! No little thought! In fact the "thought" was so great that it required nothing less than God sending His Son to bring us our hope.
I "hope" you are not "wasting" your hope. And God did not intend for us to be silent about it. Thus the word "exult" in the passage. Shout out loud to some of your friends, family and neighbors about the victory you have received in Christ Jesus, because of the love of God.

For God...
It seems so fitting that after finishing the commentary on the book of Philemon, that I would immediately be drawn to this verse in scripture. It is a very famous verse of scripture, perhaps the most "known" verse in God's Word ever repeated.
Jesus is speaking, He's speaking to Nicodemus, a religious leader in His day, and Jesus says, "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish, but have eternal life" (John 3:16).
Let me tell you the first thing I always think about when I read this verse in the Bible. I realize that as Jesus is speaking that He is speaking of Himself. And being in the company of a religious scholar, one would think that Nicodemus would realize that, but he doesn't. "Can a man be born when he is old?" Are you serious, Nicodemus? Get a clue here! He says that God gave His "...only, unique, one of a kind, that whosoever believes..." There is no other one like Jesus. Mohammad is still in his tomb. Buddah, still in his grave. Any other impostor who ever attempted to take on the task of being God, still "sleeps with the fishes" (The Godfather Movie).
God allowed His Son, Jesus, to step off of His throne, travel only He knows how far, live a hard life as the son of a carpenter, and be beaten, spat upon, whipped with leather strips and nailed to a tree so that "whoever believes in Him should not perish, but have eternal life."
What about "eternal life"? What do we know about it? What are your thoughts on eternal life? A thousand years; ten thousand years; maybe a million? Well someone once said that if you go to the coast, either coast and sit down on the beach and start counting the grains of sand within a hundred square mile area from where you sat down, you would probably count enough grains of sand to complete the "FIRST DAY" in heaven. I know that I have a hard time wrapping my head around that kind of number.
Jesus came into the world to save sinners; your a sinner, and I'm a sinner. So, back to the calculation of eternity. You and I as sinners have been saved for this eternity, saved from an eternity in hell and torment, because "God so loved the world..."! He didn't love the trees, He didn't love the animals, He loved you and me, so much so that He gave His Son, so we could be with our Lord for eternity. About the only thing I can say about that is "Pretty Cool, huh?"
Oh, by the way, Onesimus has been granted the same reward along with any other sinner this world has produced who has invited Jesus Christ into his heart. It's not Rocket Science, in fact, it's Theological science (The Study of God), and it can never be taken away from you.
I dare you to prove me wrong! God loves you, too! If your reading this and want more facts, there is a link on this page to "The 4 Spiritual Laws" that will give you all the facts you could possibly use to make an informed decision about Christ. But be warned that no decision is a decision against Christ.

The Epistle Of Paul To Philemon-Part VI
Conclusion: continued from yesterday
Verses 21-25
"Having confidence in your obedience, I write to you, since I know that you will do even more than what I say. And at the same time also prepare me a lodging; for I hope that through your prayers I shall be given to you. Epaphras, my fellow prisoner in Christ Jesus, greets you, as do Mark, Aristarchus, Demas, Luke, my fellow workers. The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit."
So we find in this very small letter to probably, a very small church body, that Onesimus has spent some time, not only with Paul but also with the Lord and the Lord has won him over. Paul is confident that his young church leader (Philemon) will see to his request of love and obedience for Christ Jesus and so Paul asks him to also make arrangements for him to come and be blessed with their fellowship.
What is not written in the Word of God, but discovered through extensive study and historic insight is that this letter to Philemon was put into the hands of the "once slave" Onesimus to deliver personally to his former master, Philemon. I'm wondering how tough that might have been. Probably would have been just as easy for Onesimus to take the letter and travel in the opposite direction. It took courage that only the Lord could have given in order for Onesimus to follow that path back to his former master's home. It is that kind of courage that God gives to each one of us as we travel through life experiencing the trials and storms of life. I have personally experienced some rather large trials in my life and I know myself very well. What I can't see in the dark, scares me to death. However, the Lord, living in my heart, has given me a kind of peace over my life that I cannot (no matter how much I study and strengthen my brain power) explain. All I know is that Jesus Christ loved me enough to travel for 33 years to a cross on Calvary to see that I need not fear. And I don't.
Paul takes the time, in his letter to mention the others who suffer with him, sort of like reporting where all the other brothers are, just in case you were wondering. They were right there with Paul, doing the ministry of God with the love of Christ in them all.
I don't ever want to spend time in jail, but more importantly, I do not want anything to do with this world without the love of Christ in my heart.
This is the last chapter of my point of view on The Epistle Of Paul To Philemon. I hope it has been informative and that it leads to other works of like kind. If you have gleaned something from this work, please do me a favor and pass it on to someone else. We all know people who could use hearing about the love of God and be presented to Jesus Christ for their eternal salvation. You don't owe me anything, so it shouldn't cost too much to do as I ask you.
These thoughts on Philemon were my own and not taken from any other book written by man. This is what I have received by my study of this letter in God's Word. I hope you enjoy it.
