A Barnyard Parable
- Details
- By RaquelleSheen
Mr. William Goat and Mrs. Nanette Goat were pondering. They wanted to raise their young goats just right. They had a good set of standards for their kids to follow. But the other creatures in the barnyard had such a variety of different standards! Oh, they all followed the very basic farm rules, but everyone had a particular interpretation of the rules. The barnyard was become disharmonious because everyone was so proud of his or her particular standards. What should they do?
“I’ll tell you what, Billy,” said Mrs. Nanette. “Tomorrow let’s ask some of the other animals and see how they view creatures who have different standards. I will talk with Mrs. Cat and Mrs. Pig. Why don’t you talk to Mr. Rooster and Mr. Dog?”
Squire Parsons
- Details
- By Keith Crowe
This week I am featuring one of the true gentlemen in Southern Gospel Music. This artist is none other than Squire Parsons. Squire is from a little town in West Virginia called Newton, which is about fifty miles from Charleston. He stated that his farther was active in the music program of his local church and also was part of a local quartet. Other members of Squire’s family were also active in music in one way or the other in the different churches located in the area. The music schools came through the area in the early 1900’s and this was where the Parsons Family began to learn the quartet style singing, commonly referred to as “shape note” music.

Sustainable Development: The Trojan Horse for Tyranny

Codeword for an Entire Economic and Social Agenda
(Text of a presentation at the April 17 Upcountry Tea Party at the Bi-Lo Center)
I believe the American people, and their every action, are being ruled, regulated, restricted, licensed, registered, directed, checked, inspected, measured, numbered, counted, rated, stamped, censured, authorized, admonished, refused, prevented, drilled, indoctrinated, monopolized, extorted, robbed, hoaxed, fined, harassed, disarmed, dishonored, fleeced, exploited, assessed, and taxed to the point of suffocation and desperation.
Suggestion for Tea Party Leaders
- Details
- By Bob Dill, Publisher
“There is no limit to what you can do if you don’t care who gets the credit!”
To a large degree, the survival of our republic rests on the people in the tea party movement. It must not be allowed to fail in its mission to educate the public with truth and support the Constitution without compromise. Leaders of the various factions must be willing to share success as well as failure. The slogan above served me well from 1974 until 1980 when I was given a task that many thought was impossible. During the following decade President Ronald Reagan placed the slogan in a frame behind his desk in the Oval Office. I borrowed it from an old retiring Congressman a decade earlier. It is a great motivator in times of stress and success.
We Need More Active Young People In The Tea Parties
- Details
- By Prentiss & Christiana Kendall - Greenville, SC (19 & 21 year old daughters of Dr. Thomas Kendall)
First off, I would like to say thank-you to those of you who were able to come out to the TEA Party on April 17th at the Bi-Lo Center. We really appreciated it! We know God is sovereign and that He is still in control; He has blessed America over the past 400 years, but we have been commanded to be, and must remain faithfully occupied. We have watched America give over our freedoms right in front of the people.
Don't you realize this is important? This affects you, your children and grandchildren... the future of America.
As We View Things
- Details
- By Pastor Don Lowry
Measurements are important. They give to us dimension, so we might comprehend size. They reckon for us moments of time so that we might schedule events to occur and date former occurrences by year, month, day, hour, and so forth.
Measurements assign to things relativity. It is by measurement we are able to access quantity or quality. We say that something is more than or less than something else, which establishes quantity, or we speak of an item being more or less like another item, thus giving in measure of quality.
From Mourning to Joy

- By Dr. Al Snyder
Last week all of Israel once again made the incredible transition from deep mourning to bounding joy. They first marked the nation's Remembrance Day in honor of all the nation's fallen soldiers, and then moved immediately into the joyful celebration of their 62nd Independence Day.
The rest of the nations of the world never experience the deep emotion the Israelis feel on these two back-to-back holidays. No other nation has experienced what Israel has gone through to become the free and prosperous nation that it is today.

He works hard behind closed doors. A conservative coalition of citizens from the Tea Party, Rino Hunt, Tax Payer Association and regular citizens attended the County Council meeting to oppose the Comprehensive Land Use Plan.

Federal Discrimination Against Law Enforcement
- Details
- By James F. Aldridge - Anderson, SC
For decades our self-serving Government has done next to nothing to curtail the flood of illegal aliens into America, and does virtually nothing to apprehend illegals known to be in the U.S. It also does everything it can to facilitate the release of those illegals incarcerated by State and local authorities, and has numerous other insidious ways of handi-caping those whose job it is to enforce our immigration laws. One such way is the following which is only a tip-of-an ice berg.
The Southern Gospel Music Corner - The Perrys
- Details
- By Keith Crowe
This week we take a look at a group which has been singing for thirty plus years, but about a year ago took on a new direction. The group is The Perrys from Morristown, Tennessee. In the early years this was a family group, but over the last few years all of the members of the Perry family have moved on with the exception of Libbi. Kenny had some health problems and the sisters’ left for various reasons. The traditional make-up of the group was two male and two female singers but when Nicole Watts decided to leave the group as well as the road to get married. The decision was made to replace Nicole with a male singer. Although there were changes taking place in The Perrys the commitment was still to keep a traditional conventional Gospel Music sound alive.

Immigration Politics

Sifting out the Political Weasels, Dunces, and Jellyfish
The United States needs an immigration policy that benefits Americans. What we have is an immigration policy—or rather a deliberate failure to enforce immigration laws—that benefits illegal immigrants, businesses that profit from hiring cheap foreign labor instead of Americans, and politicians who want to change our society into a big-government-dependent welfare state.

The Answer: Truth, Biblical Principles
- Details
- By Bob Dill, Publisher
Electing principled conservative Republican candidates to Congress and other public offices is a sound political strategy for taking our country back from radical leftists indoctrinated in Marxism and grounded in the Alinsky Method of Rules for Radicals who have deceived and organized an ignorant, brainwashed segment of our electorate.
Electing conservatives to Congress alone, however, will not be totally and permanently successful unless accompanied by the application of truth and biblical principles. The pursuit of truth must be a top priority in our search for lasting freedom even if it is painful for those on our side of the political spectrum.
Death Is A Subject We Avoid
- Details
- By Terry Odom - Piedmont, SC
My 81 year old mother had to go to the emergency room three times with emphysema last year. She was hospitalized all three times. The first two times, I sent her to St. Francis Women’s Hospital. Both times, two separate doctors told me that my mother was old, her lungs were gone, and advised me not to treat her and let her die. The third time she had to go to a hospital, I sent her to Hillcrest Memorial Hospital. There she was treated for her emphysema and recovered. Here it is April 2010 and she is still alive.
A doctor should not be able to decide who lives and who dies. That is up to God.
America cannot call itself a Christian nation. We kill our elderly, sick and unborn babies. Yet, we jail someon who would kill a litter of puppies.

Rising Tide Of Civil Liberties Violations In America
- Details
- By Chad Kister - Nelsonville, OH
Far too many .Americans are oblivious to the rising tide of civil liberties violations in America. The reason is that much of it is being done under the Patriot Act and is hidden from view by the general public.
What we do know about those who are supposed to be the role models of our country is quite troubling. FBI agents broke into the home of a Portland, Oregon attorney and searched it, using the sneak and peak provision of the Patriot Act. They arrested him and accused him of being a part of the Madrid train bombings. The FBI later realized they had made a mistake in the DNA and released him. He won $2 million in a subsequent lawsuit.
A Fair, Flexible Repayment Plan for Child Support Payments That Are Behind

- By Chris Gill - Greenville, SC
The family courts need improvement. As you know everyone has an excuse of what caused them to get behind on child support payments.
There needs to be a worksheet for parents who are behind on child support payments. God gave me this idea. Please tell the director of the child support office to move forward with this idea for all family courts statewide.
Saving Souls--Losing Freedom
- Details
- By Chuck Baldwin
One would have to be a blind man to not see that America is fast losing the fundamental principles of liberty upon which our once-great country was established. And, without a doubt, the single biggest reason for this decline is the lack of concern and effort on the part of today's Christians and pastors to resist it.
All over America, when one approaches our pastors and church leaders with the obvious decay and ruination of constitutional government and Declaration principles taking place in our land today, the response flippantly comes back: "God hasn't called me to do that; I'm supposed to win souls and that's it." (Or words to that effect.) As if the call to Gospel preaching, evangelism, and missionary endeavor negates our responsibility as citizens of a free land.
The Origin of the Cross Bars on the Confederate Flag
- Details
- By Dr. Ben Carper
I have often wondered how the Confederate Flag came to be fashioned as it is. Long before the Confederate Battle Flag, the "southern cross" was adopted by the Confederacy as her Battle Flag, the X shaped cross, previously known as "Andrew's Cross." The letter X dates back to the early days of Christianity, where the Greeks designated X as the letter "chi" in their alphabet, which has been used to represent the Lord Jesus Christ.
It was a Symbol of Glory that ancient warrior forefathers would paint the symbol of Andrew's Cross on their shields and carried the symbol into battle in the last of the Roman-Celtic wars and were said to scream the "Rebel Yell" when entering into conflict.
