Chariots of Fire
- By Mike Scruggs
The Scripture, the Movie, the Ultimate Heroism
Elisha and the Angelic Host and Chariots of Fire: 2 Kings 6: 16-17
Background from preceding verses:
The King of Syria had been attacking Israel and discovered that the Prophet Elisha was giving them advice that successfully defeated Syria’s attacks. When the Syrian King found out that Elisha and his servant were staying in Dothan, he sent a large military force to surround Dothan and bring back Elisha dead or alive. When Elisha’s young servant rose early the next morning, he was alarmed to see the Syrian Army had surrounded them, and he asked Elisha what they could do.
2 Kings 6: 16-17 verses
16 “Don’t be afraid,” the prophet answered: “Those who are with us are more than those who are with them.”
17 And Elisha prayed, “Open his eyes, Lord, so that he may see.” Then the Lord opened the servant’s eyes, and he looked and saw the hills full of horses and chariots of fire all around.”

Some Thoughts To Ponder For A New Year
- By W.H. Lamb
“And he said, Hearken ye all Judah, and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem, and thou, King Jehoshaphat: Thus saith the Lord unto you, Fear you not, neither be afraid for this great multitude: FOR THE BATTLE IS NOT YOURS, BUT GOD’S” (2nd Chronicles 20:15-17; 1599 Geneva Bible).
ARE WE STILL WILLING TO “OBEY GOD” BY RESISTING TYRANNY?
For those of you who are unaware, the 1599 Geneva Bible was the Bible used by our PILGRIM Forefathers and Mothers (they didn’t trust the recently published 1611 King James Version because they disliked King James--i.e. they disapproved of his “suspected” homosexual proclivities, and his allegiance to The Church of England, with its “anti-Calvinist” inclinations—the Geneva Bible is full of helpful “margin notes”, and is strongly “Calvinist” in its teachings, both of which King James disapproved). It was read and preached from during the dangerous and tedious 66-day Atlantic voyage from England to the New World during the harsh fall of 1620. It’s the “original” Bible I prefer to use.

A Remarkable Woman!
- By Steven Hawkins - Freelance writer from Greenville SC
My sister Deborah Lee Hawkins is a remarkable woman. She loves her God Jehovah, and she loves her family. But one thing about my sister Deborah is that she started working as a teenager; and Debbie recently retired at 61 years old age. And my sister Deborah loved to travel when she was off work thru the years.
But my sister Deborah worked all her life. I just had 3 or 4 good jobs all my life, but my sister started working in the 1980s. She has even worked almost 20 places, and she keeps on working.

Is There Any Evidence for Biblical Creation Part 1
- By Charles Creager, Jr.
A common claim made by evolutionists is that there is no evidence for creation or a global flood. However, when you look at creationist websites or other material, they show loads of evidence. So, what is the cause of this disparity?
The first thing to note is that evolutionists have been presented the evidence exclusively from an atheistic naturalistic materialistic perspective. This is regardless of whether or not the person actually believes in God, they have been trained where they went to school to see the evidence exclusively from an atheistic naturalistic materialistic perspective. Furthermore, only explanations based on that perspective are provided with the evidence being interpreted for them through those explanations. In other words, one reason they think there is no evidence for creation, or a global flood, is because it was never shown the evidence from the perspective where either of these events would even be possible explanations. Unfortunately, in many cases, their hearts have been so hardened against any alternative that they will never be even capable of looking at the evidence from a Biblical perspective.

The Drive-by Smears of Clarence Thomas Never End
- By David Harsanyi
Most Clarence Thomas hit pieces can't stand up to perfunctory scrutiny. But the newest doesn't even make any sense.
In a new five-person-bylined article, anti-Supreme Court outfit ProPublica takes a decades-old offhand complaint the justice made about his salary and spins it into a nefarious conspiracy. In 2000, Thomas apparently groused about his pay to "vocal conservative" Rep. Cliff Stearns. (The justice was hardly alone. It was a big issue in the 2000s.)
This interaction, we are informed, "set off a flurry of activity across the judiciary and Capitol Hill." By "flurry of activity," ProPublica means a single memo in which the possibility of raising justices' salaries was discussed.

Don’t ‘Paint Over’ the Truths of Christmas
- By Rob Schwarzwalder - The Washington Stand
The painting “Belezaire and the Frey Children” depicts three white children in their 19th century finery. Painted in about 1837, for generations, the “Belezaire” of the portrait was missing.
Then, a few years ago, a restoration of the painting uncovered a slender African American youth of about 15, arms folded and looking into the distance, resting against a tree. Records show that Belezaire remained in slavery, eventually living in New Orleans. When that city surrendered to federal forces in 1861, Belezaire disappears from history.
Why was Belezaire’s figure painted over? We will never know why, even as we are unlikely to know what happened to Belezaire. But reading about the portrait has made me wonder about the things we might “paint over” in our walks with God, things we think we can hide from Him or other matters we simply choose not to contemplate because they are too painful.

Truths and Myths about the Vietnam War
- By Mike Scruggs
New Atlanta Vietnam Veterans Business Association Video Sets the Record Straight
The late Harry G. Summers, Jr. (1932-1999), Colonel of Infantry and distinguished faculty member of the Army War College, often called people’s attention to the fact that considerable differences in the treatment of the Vietnam War can be seen in the literature published in academia and that published by the veterans who served during the war. Summers also called attention to the fact that the perspective of the veterans differs considerably among themselves as to the time frame of their involvement and their role.
In addition, academic and media people, tend to lump the whole experience, tactics, and strategies of the war together, when four Presidential administrations were involved. Presidents John F. Kennedy, Lyndon Johnson, Richard Nixon, and Gerald Ford faced dramatically different situations and applied after some learning curve dramatically different thinking, tactics and strategies subject to increasingly politicized and predictably unwise Congressional limitations.
