Got an interesting call yesterday. A woman from the American Center for Law and Justice called seeking donations. The call took around 10 minutes, part of which involved listening to a taped message by Jay Sekulow.

The exchange amuzed me as it brought to memory Abraham contending with the Lord in Genesis 18 over Lot, in Sodom. She started out by wanting $200-500 donations. I explained my position on the registered church with their love of the goobermints 501 c 3, tax exempt status.

She listened to my reasons for not giving monies to 501 c 3 corporations, hiding behind the title of Church and Pastor. I don't support a Baptist, RC, etc., institution calling themselves a "church" being registered by the goobermint. The Chinese Fire Drill being foisted on the undiscerning public by organizations such as PFA, Inc, etc., is at testament to the stoopidity of the majority of people calling themselves Christians.

What I find annoying about these people is their lack of integrity. They say one thing to one group to appease them, then turn around and same something else to another.

The radio program of What's Right/What's Left is about $33,000 in the red because of their strong stance against the corporate church, the RCC and other cults in AmeriKa, and bad goobermint.

Six years ago, I was in a position to pay $2,200 for on month of air time. Today, I am not but certainly would, if I could. I have been asked by Pastor Ernie to come back and help him in the ministry. I am praying over this. Pastor Ernie wanted me as ministry manager some years ago. It is a major undertaking to oversee Doers of the Word Baptist Fellowship, Missionaries to the Unborn, the Prison Ministry where Pastor Ernie is pastor of record for about 65 convicts. This alone requires much attention. There is scheduling visits, corresponding with inmates and prison officials concerning problems within the system, the investigation of their complaints, etc. I imagine I would be doing the major portion of the reading and research for guests on the daily radio program.

I've been here in the desert for a bit over 5 years now. I've taught bible study to a number of people, mostly RC's. I've helped start an Independent Baptist Church. A small congregation holding up the KJV as the only acceptable bible version. I had 5 years to stand for truth in the public "fool" system. It's a sad commentary on people professing to be Christians, teaching in the "fool" system, having a testimony, but fearful of telling the truth because of their position and paychecks.

I often wonder, whether it is teachers, goobermints, etc., what wouldn't they do for money?
