LIVING TO PLEASE GOD
By PRES. FINNEY.
“Ye have received of us how ye ought to walk and to please God.”–1 Thes. 4:1.
In speaking from these words, I enquire,
I. What is it to live and walk so as to please God. To this I answer,
1. To make his pleasure our ultimate end of life; that is, to make his pleasure an end, and not a means of promoting our own. It is possible to aim at pleasing God simply as a means of securing our own salvation. But this is not really aiming to please God as our end, but is aiming to please ourselves as an end, and pleasing God only as a means.
To make his pleasure our ultimate end, is to aim at pleasing him for his own sake, and not from some good to ourselves that may result from pleasing him.
His pleasure is an infinite good in itself; that is, it is an infinite good to him. To make his pleasure therefore our end, is to do that which is becoming in us.
But 2. To make his pleasure our supreme end, that is, to care more to please him than to please ourselves, or more to please him than to please any and all other beings–to walk so as to please him, you must lay supreme stress upon his pleasure. To so live and walk as to please God is in all things to aim at meeting his approbation, meeting his wishes, fulfilling all his pleasure; to intend this, to have this in view, and make this the great motive of all our acting.
II. Why we should so live and walk as to please God.

IS OBAMA A RACIST?
July 31, 2009 at 1:08 am | Posted in Uncategorized | Leave a commentBy Frances Rice
How do we decide who is a racist? The dictionary tells us a racist harbors feelings of antagonism and superiority based on biological differences, such as skin color. So, what demonstrates that President Barack Obama harbors such feelings toward white people?
Glimpses of Obama’s mindset can be obtained from reading his two books, “The Audacity of Hope” and “Dreams from My Father” where Obama describes his animosity toward white people.
In “Dreams from My Father” Obama wrote: “I found a solace in nursing a pervasive sense of grievance and animosity against my mother’s race.” This book also contains an explanation of why Obama joined and remained for 20 years in Trinity United Church of Christ, the church of black liberation theologian Rev. Jeremiah Wright who preached hatred against whites. Obama wrote: “It came about as a choice and not an epiphany”. The core of black liberation theology is black separatism, a movement that, for more than a century, has been opposed to racial integration. Equally troubling is Obama’s church giving a lifetime award to one of our nation’s most racist men, Louis Farrakhan.
Obama’s belief system on race was on full display during the 2008 campaign when, on a Philadelphia radio sports program, he described his grandmother as a “typical white person” who fears blacks.
From the roots of Obama’s enmity toward white people sprang his gratuitous attack on Cambridge Police Sergeant James Crowley. Obama declared that the sergeant “acted stupidly” while doing his duty, when all Obama knew, admittedly, was that the sergeant was white and the person arrested, Obama’s friend Harvard Processor Henry Gates, was black. Without bothering to learn the facts, Obama used the power of his position as President of the United States to demonize an American citizen because of his race. Details of the arrest are in the article “Obama Plays the Race Card” by Ronald Kessler that is on the Internet at:
http://www.newsmax.com/kessler/obama_race_gates/2009/07/23/239408.html
A video featuring the testimonial of two black officers in support of Sergeant Crowley, including the comments of Officer Kelly King who states that she supported and voted for Obama, but would not vote for him again, is posted on YouTube at:
http://www.cnn.com/video/?/video/us/2009/07/26/nr.comrade.in.arms.cnn
Obama, in his rush to judgment, ignored pertinent facts, such as one of the arresting officers is black, the Cambridge Mayor is black and the Massachusetts Governor is black. From his lofty perch as the leader of the free world, Obama focused like a laser beam on the skin color of one man and engaged in grievance mongering about “racial profiling,” a charge that hampers law enforcement in black communities and was not even a factor in the Cambridge case. In an instant, Obama abandoned any pretense of being “post racial” and, before our very eyes, was transformed into our “race-baiter-in-chief”.
How ironic that the wrongs against blacks that are the genesis of Obama’s racial hostility were committed by the whites who supported the racist agenda of the Democratic Party (not that many years ago), the party Obama now heads. During his research, author Wayne Perryman uncovered documents which reveal that the Democratic Party was once proudly called the “Party of White Supremacy”. According to Perryman, Democratic Party campaign posters issued from 1868 to the early 1900’s declared: “This is a white man’s country – let the white man rule”. Perryman further pointed out that Democratic Senator Ben Tillman in 1909 said: “We reorganized the Democratic Party with one plank and only one plank, namely, that this is a white man’s country and the white men must govern it.”
Today, Obama is changing the Democratic Party into a party with the sinister premise that America is a black man’s country and the black men must govern it. Perhaps this is why Obama refused to prosecute Black Panthers who wielded weapons, hurled racial insults at voters and blocked the entrance at a Philadelphia polling place during the 2008 Election. “Protecting Black Panthers” is an editorial by “The Washington Times” that reveals how Jerry Jackson, one of the Black Panther defendants, is an elected member of Philadelphia’s 14th Ward Democratic Committee and was a credentialed poll watcher for Obama and the Democratic Party. That article can be found on the Internet at:
http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2009/may/29/protecting-black-panthers/
The intimidation tactics by Black Panthers are a chilling reminder about how the Democrats not long ago used the Ku Klux Klan, the terrorist arm of the Democratic Party, to intimidate and terrorize Republican voters, black and white. Democratic Party racism is precisely what Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., a Republican, was fighting against. In Obama’s world, the civil rights accomplishments of Dr. King have been abandoned, and we are now encouraged to judge people by the color of their skin, not the content of their character. An analysis of Obama’s embracement of racial bigotry is provided in the article “How Our Post-Racial President Uses Race Card As Both Sword And Shield” by Larry Elder and is on the Internet at:
http://www.investors.com/NewsAndAnalysis/Article.aspx?id=483546
The article “A Post-Racial President?” by Thomas Sowell reveals in stark relief how destructive to our national fiber is Obama’s racial politics and can be found on the Internet at: http://townhall.com/columnists/ThomasSowell/2009/07/28/a_post-racial_president?page=full&comments=true

By Thomas Sowell
Many people hoped that the election of a black President of the United States would mark our entering a “post-racial” era, when we could finally put some ugly aspects of our history behind us.
That is quite understandable. But it takes two to tango. Those of us who want to see racism on its way out need to realize that others benefit greatly from crying racism. They benefit politically, financially, and socially.
Barack Obama has been allied with such people for decades. He found it expedient to appeal to a wider electorate as a post-racial candidate, just as he has found it expedient to say a lot of other popular things– about campaign finance, about transparency in government, about not rushing legislation through Congress without having it first posted on the Internet long enough to be studied– all of which turned to be the direct opposite of what he actually did after getting elected.
Those who were shocked at President Obama’s cheap shot at the Cambridge police for being “stupid” in arresting Henry Louis Gates must have been among those who let their wishes prevail over the obvious implications of Obama’s 20 years of association with the Reverend Jeremiah Wright. Anyone who can believe that Obama did not understand what the racist rants of Jeremiah Wright meant can believe anything.
With race– as with campaign finance, transparency and the rest– Barack Obama knows what the public wants to hear and that is what he has said. But his policies as president have been the opposite of his rhetoric, with race as with other issues.
As a state senator in Illinois, Obama pushed the “racial profiling” issue, so it is hardly surprising that he jumped to the conclusion that a policeman was racial profiling when in fact the cop was investigating a report received from a neighbor that someone seemed to be breaking into the house that Professor Gates was renting in Cambridge.
For those who are interested in facts– and these obviously do not include President Obama– there has been a serious study of racial profiling in a book titled “Are Cops Racist?” by Heather Mac Donald. Her analysis of the data shows how this issue has long been distorted beyond recognition by politics.
The racial profiling issue is a great vote-getter. And if it polarizes the society, that is a price that politicians are willing to pay in order to get votes. Academics who run black studies departments, as Professor Henry Louis Gates does, likewise have a vested interest in racial paranoia.
For “community organizers” as well, racial resentments are a stock in trade. President Obama’s background as a community organizer has received far too little attention, though it should have been a high-alert warning that this was no post-racial figure.
What does a community organizer do? What he does not do is organize a community. What he organizes are the resentments and paranoia within a community, directing those feelings against other communities, from whom either benefits or revenge are to be gotten, using whatever rhetoric or tactics will accomplish that purpose.
To think that someone who has spent years promoting grievance and polarization was going to bring us all together as president is a triumph of wishful thinking over reality.
Not only Barack Obama’s past, but his present, tell the same story. His appointment of an attorney general who called America “a nation of cowards” for not dialoguing about race was a foretaste of what to expect from Eric Holder.
The way Attorney General Holder has refused to prosecute young black thugs who gathered at a voting site with menacing clubs, in blatant violation of federal laws against intimidating voters, speaks louder than any words from him or his president.
President Obama’s first nominee to the Supreme Court is, like Obama himself, someone with a background of years of affiliation with an organization dedicated to promoting racial resentments and a sense of racial entitlement.
An 18th century philosopher said, “When I speak I put on a mask. When I act I am forced to take it off.” Barack Obama’s mask slipped for a moment last week but he quickly recovered, with the help of the media. But we should never forget what we saw.

Democrats Don’t Count
July 26, 2009 at 11:47 am | Posted in Uncategorized | Leave a commentWhat do Republicans Scott McClellan, Colin Powell, Nancy Reagan, and Democrats Susan Estrich, Pollsters Doug Schoen, and Pat Caddell all have in common? They all at one time or another have opposed their own political party in one major form or another over policy or strategy.
Now, what’s different about these people besides their political affiliations? Take a guess. Yep your correct. The media have held up the first three as beacons of reason and speaking truth to power. The latter three couldn’t be identified in a police line up if all their were was smurfs in one of the three to choose from. (Although Pat Caddell could pass as Papa Smurf when he doesn’t shave.)
Ask yourself, how many Sunday talkshow programs, cable news programs, and newspaper banner headlines have you seen with at least one of the three republicans as a featured guest or topic?
For example, take this banner headline in the LA Times, “Former press secretary Scott McClellan turns against President Bush”. Now chances are you’ve seen this terd on television either on cable news or on CSPAN incoherently babbling on about something or another. But have you seen the same attention given to any one of the three democrats? Of course not.
Then there’s Collin Powell, the new Republican. He endorsed Barack Obama for president at a strategically crucial time when it could do the most damage to Senator McCain’s chances in 2008. Of course you know him. He’s the republican who is on Sunday talk shows telling America they want bigger government and they want to pay higher taxes. He’s the liberal media’s model republican. (McCain used to hold that position until he dared challenge their Messiah for President.)
And Nancy Reagan, whom by the way, is a Lovely Lovely Lady. Not to mention the Gippers second half for almost 52 years. The way I see it she was partly what made Ronald Reagan, Ronald Reagan. And that’s good enough for me.
But it isn’t good enough for the liberal media. They use her as a baseball bat to club republicans for not supporting federal funding for embryonic stem cell research. Its not that they love her so much. Its that she drives a wedge, so the media thinks, between republicans and conservatives.
Now lets have a look at Susan Estrich. She is an American lawyer, professor, author, [Democratic] political operative, feminist advocate, and political commentator for Fox News. Not to mention, in 1988, she was the campaign manager for Michael Dukakis‘ 1988 presidential run. She was very outspoken during the 2008 presidential race, and supported Hillary Clinton in the Democratic primaries. Have you seen her on television lately?
There is no way you can call her a conservative. But when it comes to President Obama’s health care reform ideas she is a very outspoken critic. Oh, I know you haven’t heard her criticism. The liberal media only hold up republicans who turn on their party. Democrats are ignored or attacked for doing the same. You can read her criticism’s here here here and here.
The last two people on the list, pollsters Doug Schoen, and Pat Caddell, staunch democrats both, are also being ignored for their opposition to Obamacare.
This double standard, as if we needed another example, sheds light on how the media can shape the debate by who they hold up and who they don’t. And if we are going to have a real national debate on health care and health care reform. All opinions should be heard. Not just the ones the liberals in the media agree with, but all opinions. To do anything less is manipulative and highly deceptive, especially on such an important topic such as health care.
There is No Rush Boycott of GM

| RUSH: I got an e-mail last night from a friend of mine in Detroit at our blowtorch affiliate there, WJR. He said, “Did you talk about this today?”
I looked at it and I said, “No.”
Or a Chrysler. They’re not going to do it and then I said after that that I could understand it, and I had received e-mail from people who were not going to buy a car from General Motors anymore and they gave reasons. The reasons I got from people who just sent me e-mails was they don’t want to support Obama’s socialism. They don’t want to support the notion of government running the car companies, and they don’t want to patronize companies that have been bailed out. People are coming up with this on their own. I don’t know what the percentage is, but I urged no boycott of GM. General Motors is a sponsor here. (interruption) I bought a General Motors — That’s right! I bought a new Suburban last week. I bought one. This is absolutely absurd. This is just typical of the irresponsibility of the media. Now, it just so happens here that I have… Let’s see, there’s one, two… Well, there’s two of them here but I’ve only got one of them. It’s from the AmericanThinker.com by Gary Jason, “The Ethical Case for Boycotting Chrysler and General Motors.” Now, I’m not going to read the whole thing to you. We’ll link to it at RushLimbaugh.com. But it’s different. This article is almost like a paper that somebody would write in a law school class, but it outlines the moral justifications for never buying a government-owned car. So we’ll link to it at my website so you can see it later on in the program. But just for the record: I don’t do boycotts. I didn’t encourage one. I never have done so. The Detroit News — or whoever they get their news from at the Detroit News — got it wrong. |
|
This was yesterday in the Detroit News, a story by Gordon Trowbridge, who I don’t think wrote the headline, but the headline is: “Right-Wing Radio Hosts Hewitt and Limbaugh Back GM Boycott — A pair of right-wing radio hosts says there’s only one choice for conservatives angry about government involvement in the auto industry: Boycott GM.” Now, for the record, ladies and gentlemen, I don’t do boycotts. I do not sponsor them; I do not encourage them. I never have. I think it is media childishness when people start urging boycotts. I have never, ever done such a thing, and I didn’t do this with General Motors. All I did, to clarify, was report a poll that said X number of Americans — what was it, 18 or 20% — say they are not going to buy a GM car anymore, after this bailout. |

Rasmussen: Strong Disapproval of Obama Rises; 24% to Boycott GM
June 10, 2009 at 9:09 pm | Posted in Uncategorized | Leave a comment| BEGIN TRANSCRIPT |

| RUSH: You know Scott Rasmussen has on his polling site… He keeps track of something calls the Rasmussen Presidential Tracking Poll, the presidential approval index, and what he does is, he keeps track of the line of “strongly disapprove” and “strongly approve” of Obama and then comes up with the presidential approval index. Now, since Obama was inaugurated, his approval index has hovered anywhere from plus-20 to plus-2. Today, it’s at zero. They’re both at 34. Thirty-four percent strongly approve and 34% strongly disapprove.
The overall approval number is 54%, not in the sixties. It’s 54%. That’s just 1% over his vote percentage in the election. Now, I don’t know what to make of this. This poll is different than the other polls out there. The other-government run polls, government-run media polls are all in the sixties with Obama. You know, it’s tempting to take hold of a poll like this and say, “Whoa, it’s finally starting to come together this tipping point!” But I’m not so sure. You know, I have an inherent — not a distrust but an — arm’s-length on all polling data. Nothing against Scott Rasmussen here. I know he’s an accurate and fair guy. So I don’t doubt his results. I just don’t know that it means anything right now. But if it does, if it does mean anything, this happened five months into the Obama presidency. Now, the way Rasmussen tracks this, he says, “The president’s ratings have slipped since GM filed for bankruptcy to initiate a new government bailout and takeover and only 26% of Americans believe that GM bailout was a good idea. Nearly as many support a boycott of GM products,” and I know that’s true! (laughing) I’ve been hearing from people left and right. Nobody wants to support an Obama company. For those of you for those of you that work at GM you have to understand the people angry are not angry at you. They’re not angry at General Motors.
What are you smiling at? You disagree with that? (interruption) Oh, you guys are… I love you people on the staff, but you are just too worried about me. Dawn is afraid that what I just said will be translated by the media, “Rush wants GM to fail.” Did I say that? Did I say, “I want General Motors to fail?” (interruption) No, I didn’t. (interruption) Well, yes, they can remove the… Yeah, they could clip it. They could remove the “did I say” pfft, and get, “I want General Motors,” and I’m just telling you. You know, I’m looking at this poll. We’ve got… It’s at zero here. He has 34% strongly approve, 34% strongly disapprove. That’s zero. His presidential approval index is zero. “In the Rasmussen poll his overall approval number is 54%, one percentage point above his 53% total of the vote,” and Rasmussen said, “26% of the respondents in his poll are going to boycott General Motors products.” I simply am pointing out here to people that work at General Motors it has nothing to do with you. It has nothing to do with your products. It has to do with the fact that these 26% don’t want to patronize Obama. They don’t want to patronize an Obama- or government-owned company because they don’t want it to work. So if you say, “Yeah, but maybe the 26% want GM to fail.” I would argue… Should I say this? If would argue that if Obama has to take it over and run it, could we just admit that it’s failed? |
|
The people saying they don’t want to buy anything at General Motors are not mad at General Motors. They don’t want to patronize Obama. They don’t want to do anything to make Obama’s policies work! This is an untold story, by the way. Of course, the government-controlled media is not gonna report anything like this but there are a lot of people who are not going to buy from Chrysler or General Motors as long as it is perceived Barack Obama is running it, because people do not want his policy to work here because this is antithetical to the American economic way of life. The government does not own car companies; the government does not design cars, not in a country that works. So people aren’t going to buy products from companies that Obama runs. (interruption)| BREAK TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: Pepper in Houston. Pepper, thank you for calling. Great to have you with us, sir. CALLER: Rush, I — mega dittos, first off. I just want to say, what you were just talking about there about not buying GM products because of Obama, it’s exactly how I feel. I just… I have felt this way now for weeks. I have driven a Chevy Tahoe for several years. In fact, right now I’ve got about 150,000 miles on it. I won’t even look at another one right now, and I just want to say thanks. At least somebody understands what’s going on here. RUSH: Well, I appreciate that, Pepper. Look, I know that you’re out there. I think this is also why — for those of you that work in labor unions — I think you should understand here that one of the reasons why there may be… I don’t want to say the word “animus,” but why there may be opposition here to all that’s going on here to build up unions and so forth is that Obama is behind it. You see, most Americans understand that it is not the America they know and love, that they understand, that they grew up in, where the government owns automobile companies. Tells CEOs what they can make and what they can’t earn. Tells bondholders to go to hell. Tells people who have invested risky money in investments and then lose it all, “Just go away.” This is not how the America they understand operates so Obama is taking over all these industries, and the people in this country, Rasmussen says 26% say they’re going to boycott General Motors products. The reason is because people do not want this to work. They do… (interruption) I know the story going on. This is about this schlub up in Wisconsin? (interruption) Yes, I know all about the guy. I know all about it. Look, that’s not even big enough for me to worry about. That guy is such a Podunk, it’s not even worthy of our time on the EIB Network. I wish you wouldn’t interrupt me with this stuff. If you’re going to interrupt me every time I’m on that stupid government-run channel, then I’m going to be doing nothing but reacting to the government-run channel!
It’s because of opposition to Obama and turning America upside down and 180 degrees out of phase from what America is. |
|
All they do is run videotape of me and people complaining about me. We’re talking about government run MSNBC. Some little Podunk Republican moderate liberal Republican was thrown out of his leadership post in Wausau, Wisconsin, some county there because he dared criticize me. And so this guy is now loved and adored by government-run media. Big whoop! This has been going on for three days. This is not even new news. This has been recycled. Anyway, the point is, be it General Motors, be it Chrysler — whatever else Obama ends up controlling and running — the American people are not going to want it to succeed. So I want all of you who work at General Motors and all of you who are members of labor unions to understand that the opposition to you is not because of you.| END TRANSCRIPT |
All Dogs Go To Heaven [Church Sign Debate] FUNNY!!!
April 14, 2009 at 9:49 am | Posted in Uncategorized | 7 CommentsThis is literally a “church signs” debate, being played out in a southern town, between the Catholic church and a Presbyterian church that face each other across the street. From top to bottom, you will see the response and counter-response over time. The Catholics are displaying a much better sense of humor. You get the impression that the Presbyterians are actually taking this seriously!
One Touching Story
March 31, 2009 at 11:47 am | Posted in Uncategorized | Leave a commentOne day, when I was a freshman in high school, I saw a kid from my class was walking home from school.
His name was Kyle.
It looked like he was carrying all of his books.
I thought to myself, “Why would anyone bring home all his books on a Friday?
He must really be a nerd.”
I had quite a weekend planned (parties and a football game with my friends tomorrow afternoon), so I shrugged my shoulders and went on.
As I was walking, I saw a bunch of kids running toward him.
They ran at him, knocking all his books out of his arms and tripping him so he landed in the dirt.
His glasses went flying, and I saw them land in the grass about ten feet from him.
He looked up and I saw this terrible sadness in his eyes.
My heart went out to him.
So, I jogged over to him as he crawled around looking for his glasses, and I saw a tear in his eye.
As I handed him his glasses, I said, “Those guys are jerks. They really should get lives.”
He looked at me and said, ‘Hey thanks!’
There was a big smile on his face.
It was one of those smiles that showed real gratitude.
I helped him pick up his books, and asked him where he lived.
As it turned out, he lived near me, so I asked him why I had never seen him before.
He said he had gone to private school before now.
I would have never hung out with a private school kid before.
We talked all the way home, and I carried some of his books.
He turned out to be a pretty cool kid.
I asked him if he wanted to play a little football with my friends He said yes.
We hung out all weekend and the more I got to know Kyle, the more I liked him, and my friends thought the same of him.
Monday morning came, and there was Kyle with the huge stack of books again.
I stopped him and said, “Boy, you are gonna really build some serious muscles with this pile of books everyday!”
He just laughed and handed me half the books.
Over the next four years, Kyle and I became best friends…
When we were seniors we began to think about college.
Kyle decided on Georgetown and I was going to Duke.
I knew that we would always be friends, that the miles would never be a problem.
He was going to be a doctor and I was going for business on a football scholarship…
Kyle was valedictorian of our class.
I teased him all the time about being a nerd.
He had to prepare a speech for graduation.
I was so glad it wasn’t me having to get up there and speak Graduation day, I saw Kyle.
He looked great.
He was one of those guys that really found himself during high school.
He filled out and actually looked good in glasses.
He had more dates than I had and all the girls loved him.
Boy, sometimes I was jealous!
Today was one of those days.
I could see that he was nervous about his speech.
So, I smacked him on the back and said, ‘Hey, big guy, you’ll be great!’
He looked at me with one of those looks (the really grateful one) and smiled.
“Thanks,” he said.
As he started his speech, he cleared his throat, and began “Graduation is a time to thank those who helped you make it through those tough years. Your parents, your teachers, your siblings, maybe a coach…but mostly your friends…I am here to tell all of you that being a friend to someone is the best gift you can give them…I am going to tell you a story.”
I just looked at my friend with disbelief as he told the story of the first day we met.
He had planned to kill himself over the weekend.
He talked of how he had cleaned out his locker so his Mom wouldn’t have to do it later and was carrying his stuff home.
He looked hard at me and gave me a little smile.
“Thankfully, I was saved. My friend saved me from doing the unspeakable…”
I heard the gasp go through the crowd as this handsome, popular boy told us all about his weakest moment.
I saw his Mom and dad looking at me and smiling that same grateful smile.
Not until that moment did I realize it’s depth.
Never underestimate the power of your actions…
With one small gesture you can change a person’s life.
For better or for worse.
God puts us all in each other’s lives to impact one another in some way.
Look for God in others.
You now have two choices, you can:
1) Pass this on to your friends or
2) Delete it and act like it didn’t touch your heart.
