Mars Isn’t the Only “Red” Planet

“He sits enthroned above the circle of the earth, and its people are like grasshoppers. He stretches out the heavens like a canopy, and spreads them out like a tent to live in.” ISAIAH 40:22 (New International Version Bible).
Yes, I know. Mars has long been called the “Red Planet”. That’s its apparent color seen through telescopes, because of the large amounts of iron oxide dust in its thin mostly carbon dioxide atmosphere. Over past decades we’ve also seen some phenomenal pictures of the surface of Mars from the various NASA “ROVERS”, (Sojourner-1996, Spirit-2003, Opportunity-2003, Curiosity-2011, Perseverance-2020), those intrepid little wheeled robot explorers who send back great panoramas and detailed photos of the surface of Mars over 220 million or more miles back to Earth. As Mr. Spock from Star Trek might have commented: “Fascinating”!

The Bible of the Pilgrims – The Geneva Bible
- Details
- By W.H. Lamb
- Category: W.H. Lamb
For the past seven or eight decades, ever since the “modern” or “controversial” translations of God’s Word, our Holy Bible, began to appear on the scene, there have been dire predictions that “the Apocalypse” was about to come upon us, that the moon would turn to blood, and that the “end of the world” was imminent. We still hear many of these same exaggerated fears. What has prompted these warnings from otherwise rational believers with their concerns regarding the affect that newer or more modern Bible translations will have upon the world of Protestant Christendom? What has caused this “doom scenario” on the part of a portion of today’s Christian people?

The Nation of “Honoria” Desperately Needs Our Help!

NOTE: A version of this thought-provoking story has been published a couple of times previously here in The Times Examiner in recent years. Its warning is more urgent now than previously, and I hope our new (and old) readers will think about its warnings carefully and share it with other patriots while we still can do so!
LIVING AMONG THE FASCINATING “RUINS”
Alongside the road to Beaufort, S.C., near Yemassee, stand the still imposing ruins of Old Sheldon Church. Originally built between 1745 and 1753, it was used by American patriots during our Revolutionary War to store arms, causing it to be burned down by the British in 1779, and rebuilt in 1826. Tradition has claimed that it was again burned and gutted by the marauding devils from General Sherman’s army of pillagers and despoilers during The War For Southern Independence. However, recently discovered evidence in a letter from Milton Leverett, an on-site visitor in early 1866, claims that Old Sheldon was NOT burned again in 1865 by Yankees but was gutted by the locals after that tragic and senseless war ended, its scarce materials used all over Beaufort, S.C., and its remains were then abandoned. Be that as it may, the ruins presently stand in grand and haunting majesty, reminders of a time that once was, but is no more—reminiscent, I fear, of the possible future of our increasingly ravaged Constitutional Republic.

Oratory for this Troubled Time in America

(A “Modern” Retelling of Ancient History—with apologies to William Shakespeare).
(Reference: “JULIUS CAESAR” by William Shakespeare, Act. 111, Scene 11: CAESAR’S FUNERAL ORATION, BY MARK ANTONY.)
Patriots, Americans, countrymen, listen to me.
I come to expose the truth, not to bury it.
The evil that liberals do lives after them,
When it should be buried with their bones.
So should it be with all collectivists.
The ignoble brutes have told you that Americanists and patriots are dangerous;
This is not so, it is a grievous lie,
And grievously have we been maligned.

Let’s begin this essay by examining a well known Bible passage—Matthew 5:13-16, with two versions--one from my favorite 1599 Geneva Bible (Super Titled in italics) and one from the New International Version (Sub-Titled in regular type):
Verse 13
“Ye are the salt of the world; but if the salt have lost his savor, wherewith shall it be salted?
“You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again?
It is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men.
It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled by men.

Does The Final Cruise of S.S. Britanis Provide a Warning For America?
- Details
- By W.H. Lamb
- Category: W.H. Lamb
She was launched in 1932 and christened as the S.S. MONTEREY by Matson Lines. Over a 68 year illustrious life, with several different cruise line owners, she became the oldest continuously operated (with a few layup years) cruise ship afloat. Over all those years, when “cruising” became in turn very popular and, when air travel became faster, safer, and less expensive, almost dead for a time, she kept being retrofitted and modernized, often with spare parts from her scrapped sister ships. Her beautiful and majestic lines were known by various names over those decades (Monterey, Matsonia, Lurline, Britanis, and finally, as Belofin). On our one and only cruise on her in December, 1990, my wife and I knew and loved her as S.S.BRITANIS, and that’s what she’ll always be in our memories. We had a wonderful week on her, and we got to know every foot of her historic teak decks, inside and out.

These Are The New Times That Are “Trying Our Souls”! This Is Our New “American Crisis”!

If you fully obey the Lord your God and carefully follow all His commands I will give you today, the Lord your God will set you high above all the nations of Earth. All these blessings will come on you and accompany you if you obey the Lord your God.”
Deuteronomy 28:1-2 NIV (Deuteronomy was George Washington’s favorite Book of the Bible).
THE AMERICAN CRISIS: COMMON SENSE No. 1 (Jan. 1776), by Thomas Paine (An excerpt)
“These are the times that try men’s souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like Hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly: it is dearness only that gives every thing its value. Heaven knows how to put a proper price upon its goods; and it would be strange indeed if so celestial an article as FREEDOM should not be highly rated….

Are You, As A Christian, Or A Person Of Faith, Involved In Politics? Should You Be?
- Details
- By W.H. Lamb
- Category: W.H. Lamb
Well, should you? That seems to be a somewhat divisive question of late. Perhaps it depends on how one defines “politics”. Should those of us who identify as Christians, particularly the “born-again variety”, or “People of Faith”, involve ourselves in the often dishonest and somewhat sordid and divisive “blood sport” known as “politics” throughout much of American history, and especially over the past century or so? Should we allow ourselves to be immersed, to one degree or another, in the “mud-slinging”, the invectives, the anger, the hurt feelings, the breakup of family and friends, even the unconstitutional violence that is being deliberately induced within our culture over recent decades—and especially in the past few years—indeed in this very day in parts of our nation being overwhelmed by Marxist/globalist insurrectionists---by the lovers of “politics”, most of it the leftist/progressive/communist version, as they confront the lovers of “constitutional government”, the form that was established for us by the men and women who founded this nation? Is a clash of civilizational survival imminent due to this fascination that a significant portion of humanity has with “politics” rather than with “principles”? Ah, those are questions to ponder, aren’t they? Let’s delve into it.

Warrior For American Independence—The Story Of “ATAYATAGHRONGHTA” (Colonel Joseph Louis Cook)

- Category: W.H. Lamb
Who, you might reasonably ask, was “Atayataghronghta”? I had never heard that Native American name in my many years of historical reading and research centered around our Revolutionary War period, but I had once come across his English name a long time ago: Joseph Louis Cook (c. 1737-1814), also called Colonel Louis Cook in historical records. It wasn’t until I read his life story a few years ago in my wife’s D.A.R. magazine: American Spirit, November/December 2021 Issue (Vol. 155, #6), in an article by Amanda Taylor, titled, “Unwavering Dedication to the Cause”, that I was able to finally put his Indian and his English names together and discover a not unknown, but long underappreciated and almost forgotten, American patriot whose “dedication to the cause” of American liberty should be much better known.

“No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money.” Luke 16:13.
Back in the “ancient times”, in February of 2001, I wrote an article for the old newsprint version of The Times Examiner titled: “The GrowingCurse of Hyphenated Americans.” I felt strongly about this problem of “divided loyalty” (i.e. “dual citizenship”) among Americans then, and I haven’t changed my opinion one bit since. If anything, I’m more disturbed over the “curse” of hyphenated Americans today than I was then, when it was an irritating problem, rather than the societal threat it has become. If you are blind to this potential nation-shattering problem, you really need to read this article carefully. If you revel in being a “hyphenated” American and/or you express divided loyalties to some other nation, you need to reconsider your decision!

Will We Ever Heed Orwell’s Warning?

A WARNING FROM GEORGE ORWELL:
“This is the direction the world is going in at the present time. In our world there will be no emotions, except fear, rage, triumph, and self abasement. The sex instinct will be eradicated…. There will be no loyalty except loyalty to the party. But always there will be the intoxication of power. Always at every moment there will be the thrill of victory, the sensation of trampling on an enemy who is helpless.
“If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face forever. The moral to be drawn from this dangerous nightmare situation is a simple one. DON’T LET IT HAPPEN! It depends on YOU.”
Eric Blair (1903-1950). Better known by his “pen name” of GEORGE ORWELL.

The America That Once Was (A Christmas Memory)

HAS THE “SPIRIT” OF CHRISTMAS LEFT US?
At age 87 I have a lot of mostly good memories of Christmases past—of the America that once was (but is no more), and of the many people who “traveled” with me over my life’s road, at least for part of it. How much more time I’ll have to enjoy all of these memories only my Savior and LORD Jesus knows. But I would like to share a few of these “old” memories with you once again. So bear with me. Perhaps you share similar memories. I hope so. If not now, then when you get “old and experienced”, like me.

Retelling “A Christmas Story” Once Again

- By W.H. Lamb
- Category: W.H. Lamb
Note: This touching story has been published in The Times Examiner twice previously. But I know that its message could touch a lot of people. At least I hope it will. “Christmas”, as we all should know, is NOT about Santa Claus and his reindeer bringing us presents, nor about snowmen or “grinches” or any of that nonsensical but fun stuff. It’s not even about “Charlie Brown” and his wonderful recitation of the true meaning of Christmas, right from God’s Word. (THANK YOU, Charles Schultz for your brave stand, long ago, against CBS). It’s not really about family gatherings, with special dinners, although they are usually memorable. It’s not about getting lots of presents, mostly stuff we don’t really need, spending money we or others have gone into debt to acquire, which is truly a waste of money and effort, in my opinion.

A SERMON (Continued)
WAS THE U.S.A. FOUNDED AS A CHRISTIAN ORIENTED LAND?
Last time we opened this discussion with arguments on the premise that the U.S.A. was originally founded as a Christian (or at least a Christian oriented) nation, and I used a series of historic “proofs” for that contention as presented by Dr. David Gibbs, Jr., President of The Christian Law Association, in his book, One Nation Under God. I refer you to last’s week’s Part 1 of this article for a review of Dr. Gibb’s points, that indeed America was founded as at least a Christian oriented nation, and that most of her Founders were historic Christians and were NOT “DEISTS”, as proposed by many of the modern left wing brain damaged enemies of God and Country that infest our nation, with their progressive and unconstitutional agendas of violence and the long-sought Marxist overthrow of our historic Constitutional Republic—agendas which were pushed with vigor during the incompetent administration of Bolshevik Demoncrat “leaders”—Comrades Sleazy Joe and Kommie-La—and the “AUTOPEN” Associate President, during the terrible years of 2021 to 2024.

A SERMON:
“THIS IS A CHRISTIAN NATION”—U.S. SUPREME COURT—1892
“There is no doubt that this is a nation which was built upon the Christian faith—that the Lord, indeed, was the God of this nation, that it was founded upon the principles of God’s Word, upon the teachings of Christianity, and for the advancement of the Kingdom of Christ. All these things are well documented, in the charters of the original colonies, in the original compacts (like the famous Mayflower Compact <that three of my wife’s ancestors signed--whl>, covenants, and constitutions. When the Supreme Court looked into the matter in 1892, poring over all the original documents, they concluded with one unanimous, unambiguous voice: ‘This is a Christian nation.’” - Rev. D. James Kennedy
