Pearl Harbor’s Road To Redemption For Three Amazing People – Part 1

- Category: W.H. Lamb
SUMMARY OF WHAT HAPPENED AT PEARL HARBOR ON DEC. 7, 1941, FOR THOSE WHO WERE RECENTLY GRADUATED FROM A GOVERNMENT “SCHOOL”:
“Pearl Harbor is (and was on Dec. 7, 1941) a U.S. naval base near Honolulu, Hawaii, that was the scene of a devastating “surprise” attack by Japanese forces on December 7, 1941. Just before 8 a.m. on that Sunday morning, hundreds of Japanese fighter planes descended on the base, where they managed to destroy or damage nearly 20 American naval vessels, including eight battleships, and over 300 airplanes. More that 2,400 Americans died in the attack, including civilians, and another 1,000 people were wounded. The day after the assault, President Franklin D. Roosevelt asked Congress to declare war on Japan.” (Which it did, on December 8, 1941---the LAST TIME that Congress Constitutionally declared war!)

James Patterson’s Journal – The Story of The Congregation of Andria Church During the Dark Time (Patterson’s Tale #8)
PASTOR LEE AND HIS MILITIA LEADERS MEET WITH LEADERS FROM ANDRIA VILLAGE TO DECIDE UPON THEIR FUTURE COURSE OF ACTION
“On a cold morning in Winter of A.D. 2409, Pastor Lee and his son, Edrood, along with their 100 or so militia men, plus leaders from the three main groups in Andria village—the Jesus followers, the pagans, and the uncommitted and timid group—met at a small clearing deep in the forest a few miles from our village. While the militia stood guard, we all met to discuss what our path of action must be from now on in order to give ourselves a chance of survival. We knew we were badly outnumbered by our Enforcer enemies, and always would be. The others stood quietly while the Christians in our group asked for God’s direction and His blessings on us. A few of the uncommitted suggested that we had the choices of abandoning our village and relocating to other villages up and down the river, or even much farther away if we could find places willing to accept us; or we could all become pagans and beg the Enforcers to leave us alone; or we could fight them to the death.

“We were keeping a steady rain of bullets and arrows, with a few spears, down onto our enemies. Our people close to the center of the battle signaled Pastor Lee that they estimated the enemy still numbered 110 to 120, and their weapons were far more superior to ours. They mounted a fierce attack against Edrood’s position, forcing him and his men to retreat up the hill toward our Old White Church. What none of us knew was that hiding in the forest just behind our church was a mixed pagan and Jesus Sect force of about 75 men, plus several women fighters, who had arrived from a nearby village that had not yet been attacked. They had volunteered to help Andria kill our Enforcer enemies, knowing that they were next. Edrood was told of this fresh force, and ordered one of his men to tell them that he was going to pretend to retreat into the forest behind the church to lure the enemy right toward them.

Should We Support Our Local Police Forces and Keep Them Independent?

WHY SHOULDN’T WE FEAR, DESPISE, AND DEFUND THEM AS THE ENEMIES OF OUR REPUBLIC DEMAND?
Sixty-one years ago, in 1963, Americans began to hear the first beginnings of the clarion call that has become a crescendo of common sense and needful action if our constitutional freedoms are to be maintained: “SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL POLICE, AND KEEP THEM INDEPENDENT”! The man responsible for formulating this concept in the long list of freedom-preserving “actions” was the late and great patriot, Robert Welch, Founder, in 1958, of one of the oldest and most effective organizations dedicated to the proposition that the Constitutional Liberties and Safeguards formulated by our Founding Generation were not up for grabs and were not to be negotiated away upon the altar of “world government”. That organization is THE JOHN BIRCH SOCIETY, named after a young missionary to China who also was a Captain in the U.S. Army Air Force, who served under the famous “Flying Tigers” General, Claire Chennault, and who was murdered in China by Satan’s communist cadres in August of 1945.

You might say to me, after reading the above title: “What do you mean? Everyone knows that “inflation” is the general, and often quite rapid, rise in the costs we pay for goods and services.” Right? “A harsh reality of our economy for many decades.” Right? Sorry, but if you spread that “wrongthink”, which most of us have been taught our entire lives, you’ll be spreadingmisinformation!You’d be parroting deliberate lies and error from centers of obfuscation and deceit like The New York Times, The Washington Post, our sundry “alphabet” TV networks and cable “news” stations, with their disinformation-celebrating ‘talking heads”, most “social media” sites, and“our” U.S. Government! And for sure from those “Institutes of Induced Ignorance” known as “government schools.”

Those of you who have followed my “literary efforts”, both in the now extinct print version of The Times Examiner (from 1999 to July of 2018), and in the current digital version (since July of 2018), know that I’m somewhat of an “eclectic” writer. In addition to doing what I can in defending our embattled constitutional Republic, I have different interests and I enjoy writing about some of them and sharing them with you from time to time. In that regard I consider myself to be something of a “renaissance” person, one who enjoys delving into different facets of history and the human experience, into mankind’s political and social foibles and noble accomplishments, into the artistic and cultural achievements of my fellow human beings who, during their sometimes far-too-brief pilgrimage through life, brought beauty, joy, great art and music, memorable literature, and various forms of greatly needed cultural enrichment to us, their fellow pilgrims, all of which have instilled joy and happiness and even the tears of pathos into our lives as we beheld their artistries and their struggled-for accomplishments, often despite their physical and cultural challenges.

The Wonderful Gift of Freedom – Is It Dissipating In Front of Our Eyes? – Part 2

Back in 1899, at the start of the Boer War (in South Africa), in an essay titled, “The Old Issue”, Rudyard Kipling wrote, “All we have of freedom—all we use or know—this our fathers bought for us, long and long ago”. At that time, the British Empire and its influence (for good or ill) extended over much of the world. British “freedom”—at least as defined by Parliament and the English Monarchy—prevailed over most of its polyglot peoples, with or without their approval.

God’s Word tells us, in Joel 1:3: “Tell it to your children, and let your children tell it to their children, and their children to the next generation.” This is still excellent advice for Americans today in regards to the topic of ‘freedom’, because if any group of people is in danger of losing the liberties bequeathed to them by their Fore Parents, it is the people of the U.S. It is US! The Founders of the United States were a pretty wise collection of men (aided and encouraged by a wise collection of their wives and mothers, I’m certain). By declaring “Independence” from Mother England they knew they would be considered as traitors to their King and would suffer the consequences should the King’s men catch them. Benjamin Franklin reminded his countrymen (and especially US) that, “Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.” Franklin’s wisdom is doubly true today.

Fathers & Sons Are Not Always Alike

“Like father, like son”. We’ve all heard this saying in the past, I’m sure. In the normal scheme of things those words are often true but sometimes they miss the mark totally. I, for one, am nothing like my father was—not as a teen or an adult. Despite his being an every weekend abuser of alcohol for all of my growing up years, my father always earned enough to keep me and my mother, and later my younger sister, well cared for. Adopted by a family as an infant in 1894, he was an unloving and “distant” parent, an atheist who never learned how to communicate with me or ever express love for his family. My mother was always my stay-at-home Mom, providing the love and attention so lacking in my father toward all of us. Mom wasn’t particularly religious for most of her life (until her “mature” years), and neither of my parents did much to “train me up in the way I should go”. It was my elderly step-grandmother Elizabeth, (who with her husband had adopted my abandoned father as a baby in 1894), who did her best to instill her Christian faith and values into me over the thirteen years I knew her, with only limited success at the time. But that’s another story.

One advantage of attaining the status of “senior citizen” (or “old geezer” as some describe us) is that we’ve stored a whole lot of history in that remarkable computer tucked away inside our skulls. Some of us seem to lose the ability to accurately retrieve our “memory files” as we age, but I’ve been blessed with a still fairly intact memory that goes back pretty far (I’ve traded good memory at age 87 for lots of back, leg, and shoulder pain, and a bit of heart trouble (AFib), pacemaker and Watchman heart implants, and chronic kidney disease, and my first experience with “gout” recently, but I consider that to be an acceptable trade off as long as my brain’s “memory files” continue to work).

Has the Christian Church Become “Woke” And a “Tower of Babel”?

A SERMON:
GENESIS 11:1-9—NEW INTERNATIONAL VERSION:
(Amplification in parentheses mine—whl)
“(1) Now the whole world had one language (after the flood of Noah’s time) and a common speech. (2) As people moved eastward (from the Mountains--a mountain ‘range’, NOT one mountain) of Ararat (that mountain in the modern nation of Turkey is NOT the grounding spot of Noah’s Ark) they found a plain in Shinar (in Babylonia, i.e. Mesopotamia, or present-day Iraq) and settled there. (3) They said to each other, ‘Come, let’s make bricks and bake them thoroughly’. They used brick instead of stone, and tar for mortar. (4) Then they said, ‘Come, let us build ourselves a city, with a tower that reaches to the heavens, so that we may make a name for ourselves and not be scattered over the face of the whole earth’. (5) But the LORD came down to see the city and the tower (that became known as The Tower of Babel) that the men were building. (6) The LORD said, ‘If as one people speaking the same language they have begun to do this, then nothing they plan to do will be impossible for them. (7) Come, let us (i.e. The Triune God) go down and confuse their language so they will not understand each other’. (8) So the LORD scattered them from there over all the earth, and they stopped building the city (for they had disobeyed God’s command to ‘be fruitful and multiply and replenish the whole earth to the extent they were able at that time—rather than all of them staying on the ‘Plain of Shinar’, which they had done). (9) That is why it was called Babel (in Hebrew the word means ‘confused’)—because there the LORD scattered them over the face of the whole earth.”

James Patterson’s Journal—The Story of The Congregation of Andria Church During the Dark Time (Patterson’s Tale #6)
“By this time Pastor Lee was not only our spiritual leader but was the militia leader to the Jesus Sect community, not only in Andria but in villages up and down the Tomak river for many miles. He had his personal fortified compound deep in the forest, many miles inland from the river. Only a few people knew how to find it, and none of our JS members had ever been to his fortified home. He had a fanatically devoted group of around 80 militiamen who protected us, and him. We knew that only about half of them were true JS followers, but all of them despised the Enforcers and Overmasters. They also did their best to protect the Jesus followers from the pagan villagers, and it was not uncommon for those evil mockers and harassers to themselves be brought to justice by our militia. Whippings were the most common punishments for their first offense against us, but severe beatings and executions were not unknown either. Right or wrong, we had concluded that, in order to survive, we could not always “turn the other cheek” without some form of resistance.

RACHARD LEE BECOMES PASTOR OF ANDRIA CHURCH
“During this time we elected Rachard Lee as our new pastor. He had a very old God’s Bible that he showed to all of us one dark Sabbath night. We had only fatwax candles to see by, but he showed us the page at its front where it said it had been printed in someplace called ‘Atlanta, Georgia’ back in A.D. 2142, which he told us was just before the start of the time when people on our continent all began to fight each other. Lee told us that night that no one knew how long these wars had been going on, but that he believed that it had been for a period of hundreds of years. He said that his old Bible had been authorized by a new king named James, who had probably lived before the start of the wars that had ripped apart our continent and its people.

“America Was A Nation Founded Upon Christ And His Word!” True or False? - Part 3

In the first two parts of this series we delved into the historical insights and proofs discussed in Sam Kastensmidt’s very detailed small book, Ten Truths About America’s Christian Heritage, published by D.JAMES KENNEDY Ministries in 2008. I’ve learned a lot about our early American history from this author, and about the depth of commitment to their Christian faith that so many of our American ancestors exhibited, a commitment that seems to be fading away in this day and age. These first two articles in this series covered, in some detail, the first six of this author’s “Ten Truths About America’s ChristianHeritage”. This final article will deal, in lesser detail, with the final four historical “truths” that, I trust, will totally validate his contention that, indeed, our nation was founded on Christian principles that can be seen in so many places and in so many historical documents.
