“For here we are not afraid to follow the truth wherever it may lead, nor to tolerate any error so long as reason is left free to combat it.” (Thomas Jefferson)

Scripture of the day:
Isaiah 29: 6-8—“From Yahweh Sabaoth you will be punished with thunder and earthquake and loud noise, with whirlwind and tempest and the flame of a consuming fire. And the multitude of all the nations who wage war against Ariel, even all who wage war against her and her stronghold, and who distress her, will be like a dream, a vision of the night. It will be as when a hungry man dreams—and behold, he is eating; but when he awakens, his hunger is not satisfied, or as when a thirsty man dreams—and behold, he is drinking, but when he awakens, behold, he is faint and his thirst is not quenched. Thus the multitude of all the nations will be who wage war against Mount Zion.”

Monday is Memorial Day:
Monday is Memorial Day. We are supposed to remember all the people who sacrificed their lives for our freedom. Please don’t take your freedom for granted. People all over the world are dying right now for something to which we seldom give any thought.
Below is a statue of Thomas Jefferson. It’s in front of The Rotunda at the University of Virginia. He’s the founder of the Democratic Party and UVA. Sadly, the political party he created doesn’t even come close to the ideals he cherished, and as a former Democrat, I’m speaking from first-hand experience.

I’m reminded of something Benjamin Franklin said. “They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.” Wake up America. It’s time to take our country back.

Richard Rives with Just the Facts:
U.S. Supreme Court Ruling—Sabbath observance: a religious duty of the Christian faith
Today we are hearing a great deal about the Supreme Court, the judicial branch of our government having power extending to all cases arising under the Constitution.
In 1963 the Supreme Court ruled that the reading of the Lord’s Prayer or of the Bible in the classroom of a public school by the teacher was unconstitutional—later even striking down laws which set aside a period of silence for private prayer.
In 1992 it was ruled that religious officials could not conduct religious exercises at public occasions even if attendance was not strictly compulsory; and in the year 2000, it was decided that the vote of a student body could not authorize student led prayer prior to school events.
All of these are now the law of the land from a court which is conducted from a building where Moses holds the tables of stone as the central figure of its facade. For many years now I have been making the case that Christians should rest on the Sabbath day. In 1980 the Supreme Court of the United States came to the same conclusion. That’s right! The Supreme Court ruled that “The Ten Commandments are undeniably a sacred text in the Jewish and Christian faiths, and no legislative recitation of a supposed secular purpose can blind us to that fact.
Now if the purposefully secular Supreme Court cannot be blinded to that fact, how is it that many of today’s Christian leaders cannot see it? In the Book of Matthew Chapter 15 we find that Jesus described the religious leaders of His day as blind leaders leading the blind. He said that if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch.
Many of today’s theologians would lead us to believe that the fourth commandment no longer applies to believers—that one has been done away with while the other nine are still binding. Just as the religious leaders of Jesus’ day, they have been blinded by their own traditions. We must not follow them into the ditch.
The Supreme Court ruled that it is the religious duty of believers to keep the Ten Commandments, specifically mentioning Sabbath observance. Let us remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy. For Christians, it’s the law of the land, and that’s one law that will be upheld by an even higher judge: the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at His appearing.
