Who You Are to Me :: By Dennis Huebshman

Sometimes, when I go to YouTube, I get pleasantly surprised. This is one occasion where I listened to a new song and was just about overwhelmed. It’s a praise song that’s so much more. Rather than being like some of today’s 7-11 songs – same 7 words repeated 11 times over and over – this one honors, glorifies, praises, and puts love in our hearts for our Savior. (any emphasis mine)

First, it’s a song by Chris Tomlin, accompanied by a female trio, “Lady A.” The song was written by Tomlin, along with Charles Kelley, Hillary Scott, and Dave Haywood. Chris is from the East Texas area (my neighborhood). He is a contemporary artist who displays a real love for the Savior.

Just writing down the words of “Who You Are to Me” was like having a prayer session to tell the Savior my deepest and true feelings. He’s not just words on a page or an impersonal deity that demands we worship Him. He proved His love for us all when He was first here and has promised He would never leave us or desert us (Hebrews 13:5).

As a part of the Trinity that created this world (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit), He could have set conditions for us to follow, which would not have caused Him to suffer. However, knowing God is righteous and just, and cannot accept anything short of perfection to cover our sins, Jesus became the propitiation for our sins (substitute). He was our “Spotless Sacrificial Lamb” that the Father required. He “willingly” came to be our Good Shepherd, who laid down His life for His sheep (John 10:11, 18). His one-time sacrifice was for all who would accept Him (John 10:16).

He led a sinless life here, even though He faced the same temptations we all come up against. In fact, He was personally tested by Satan after having fasted for 40 days in the wilderness (Matthew 4:1-11; Mark 1:12-13; Luke 4:1-13). However, Jesus was able to overcome Satan and did not give in to his tactics. Some may say that even though He became fully human, He was still God, and that’s how He resisted. According to Hebrews 2:9; “But we see Him, who for a little while, was made lower than the angels (a human), namely Jesus, crowned with glory and honor because of the suffering of death, so that by the Grace of God, He might taste death for everyone.”

Jesus is able to say He personally knows our feelings and emotions. He experienced anger with the religious leaders, sadness at the death of a friend, and real pain and suffering throughout the whole crucifixion process. Yes, He knew He was still God (John 19:30), but He was submissive to the Father’s will in order for His sacrifice to count. That is why God sees His Son in us when we confess our sins and ask His forgiveness. It’s also why anyone who does not receive and accept Jesus, cannot be forgiven by the Father.

Please consider the words of this marvelous song, and I hope you get closer in your relationship with the Savior. If you haven’t accepted His precious gift of eternal life with Him, today would be a good day to start.

(1) Some people think You’re distant, just some words on a page. That You’re nothing more than fables, handed down along the way. But I’ve seen You part the waters when no one else could pull me from the deep. That’s Who You Are to Me.

Some people think You just live in Cathedrals made of stone, but I know You live inside my heart; I know that it’s Your home. And I’ve seen You in a sunset, and in the eyes of a stranger on the street. That’s Who You Are to Me.

(ref) You’re Amazing; Faithful; Love’s open door. When I’m empty, You fill me with hunger for more. Of Your mercies, Your goodness, Lord, You’re the air that I breathe. That’s Who You Are to Me!

(2) Sometimes I have my doubts; I’m sure everybody does. And I wonder when I stumble, am I still worthy of Your love. I know that I get stronger when I’m talking to You down on my knees. You’re Everything I Need. (ref)

You’re forever, Holy, You’re the Lamb who is Worthy; my Forgiveness; my Healer; the Messiah; my Redeemer.

You are greater, higher, over it all; in Your presence, Jesus, I stand in awe. Lord, You’re the air that I breathe; That’s Who You Are to Me.

God loves us (John 3:16-18; Romans 5:8), and He wants everyone to come to repentance and be saved (2 Peter 3:9). Jesus Paid It All; All to Him we owe. He loved us all the way to a cruel cross, death, burial, and glorious resurrection on the third day – for us! His gift is available for the asking, but don’t try to buy or earn it. The key word is “gift.” He wants you to repent and turn away from habitual sin. Once you have Jesus as Savior, the Holy Spirit will be in you. At the instant of the “Rapture,” you will be taken up to meet Jesus in the air, and never feel pain or loss again. Your new forever body and new mindset will be designed to live forever in the presence of our Father, His Son, the Holy Spirit, and all true believers from all time.

Just a note: we are closer to the Rapture than could have ever been possible at any time in earth’s history. After the rebirth of Israel on May 14, 1948, the end-time clock started ticking. All prophecies that needed to be fulfilled prior to the Rapture taking place have been done. Jesus said we would not know the day or hour, and we are just waiting for the call (1 Corinthians 15:51-53; 1 Thessalonians 4:13-17.) Some have said they would call out to be saved when they hear the Trumpet of God and the shout from the archangel. However, “Twinkling of an eye” has been calculated at considerably less than one second. Asking for His forgiveness takes just a bit longer than that. Go to Romans 10:9-13, and you will see what needs to be done. As stated, today (right now) would not be too soon to call out to Him.

The alternative is to be cast into a terrible Hell – The Lake of Fire – which was originally designed for Satan and his demons (Matthew 25:41). There is no other option. Don’t listen to Satan’s lies that there’s plenty of time, or there are many ways to Heaven without Jesus. Our Savior could return at any minute now. Be Ready; Be Saved. And yes, God really did say!

Maranatha! (Come, Lord Jesus!)

Kamala Harris – Godless Marxist :: By Geri Ungurean

When I read that Sleepy Joe Biden came out of the basement to announce his pick for a running mate, and then I read that it was Kamala Harris, I knew I needed to uncover her Socialist leanings.

What I didn’t know was how easy it would be to find this information.

Kamala Harris is the daughter of a Marxist Professor.

And because we know that the apple does not usually fall far from the tree – folks, we have a bona fide Marxist running for VP for the Democratic Socialists of America.

Oh, if you asked Sleepy Joe if he is on board with Marxism, you would get the ‘Deer in the headlights look’ as he would attempt to answer. He would forget where he was and would fumble-bumble over Marxism. I actually feel pretty sorry for the man.

At the risk of sounding morbid, I must say that at times I wonder how long Joe Biden has on this earth. He did have an aneurysm that burst many years ago, and his dementia is getting worse by the week.

If Joe Biden prevails in November, we will very likely soon be looking at President Harris – our first openly Marxist president. Obama was close, but he still denied being a Marxist.

Please note that this article is from 2019 when Harris was running in the Democratic Primaries.

Kamala Harris’s Socialist Ties

Red Diaper Baby

Commentary

Democratic presidential primary front-runner Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.) recently told reporters at a campaign stop in New Hampshire that she is “not a democratic socialist.”

The next question should have been obvious: “Well, then, what kind of socialist are you?” (emphasis added)

Harris has been surrounded by socialists and communists her entire life—beginning with her staunchly Marxist father. Harris is the older child of two 1960s Berkeley radicals: Shyamala Gopalan, a cancer researcher from the state of Tamil Nadu in southern India, and Donald J. Harris, an economist from Jamaica. (emphasis added)

Gopalan and Donald Harris were very active during the civil rights and anti-Vietnam War protests of the era, often taking baby Kamala to protests in a stroller, according to a recent article in San Jose daily newspaper The Mercury News on the Harris family.

The couple separated after Donald Harris took a professorship at the University of Madison–Wisconsin. Gopalan filed for divorce in 1971 and won custody of her two daughters in 1973.

Kamala and her younger sister, Maya—now her presidential campaign chair—regularly visited their father during school holidays.

In 1972, Donald Harris left the University of Madison–Wisconsin to begin a visiting professorship of economics at Stanford University.

On Nov. 3, 1976, an article published in the Stanford Daily newspaper claimed that more than 250 students were clamoring for more Marxist perspectives.

Shortly thereafter, a letter was published in the Stanford Daily on Nov. 12, 1976, signed by the Stanford branch of the Union for Radical Political Economics (URPE), with signatures from members Bill Dittenhofer, Ari Cohen, Eric Berg, David O’Connor, Arthur Slepian, Sandy Thompson, and Tracy Mott:

“The program in Marxian economics would be much weaker than it is today if had it not been for massive student efforts in the form of petitions, open meetings …

“[It] was only after a divisive one and a one-half year struggle that the opposing elements in the department gave into student pressure and conceded to ‘the appointment of Prof. Donald Harris. Thus the presence of Marxian economists here simply indicates the success of the student struggle. … The recent addition of course offerings in Marxian economics is again a direct result of student pressure, not departmental benevolence.”

After an 18-month campaign by the union, Harris was offered and accepted a permanent professorship.

The URPE (which last year celebrated its 50th anniversary) began in 1968 as a spinoff of the radical Students for a Democratic Society (SDS). URPE has overlapped considerably with America’s largest Marxist organization, the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), since its founding in 1982. One of professor Donald Harris’s Stanford supporters and URPE letter signatories, Mott, is now a professor at the University of Denver, where he works with local DSA activists.

During the summer and fall of 2006, the DSA’s Political Action Committee helped DSA activists around the country host house parties to raise funds that helped Bernie Sanders become the “sole socialist in the U.S. Senate.”

According to DSA magazine Democratic Left: “Boulder, Colorado, guests braved a downpour to attend the party at the home of Leslie Lomas and hear a talk about giving money by economics professor and socialist Tracy Mott.”

According to The Mercury News: “Several of his former students said it wasn’t accurate to describe him [Donald Harris] as Marxist, although ‘he might have been a lot more sympathetic to Marx than a lot of other economists were at the time,’ said Tracy Mott.”

Mott was being disingenuous. Several Stanford Daily articles at the time described Donald Harris as “Marxist,” and Mott and his friends made it very clear that Harris was hired specifically for his radical ideology. (emphasis added)

Donald Harris wrote papers such as “The Black Ghetto as Colony: A Theoretical Critique” ‎(1972) and “Capitalist Exploitation and Black Labor: Some Conceptual Issues” (1978).

Harris’s Marxism was never questioned or denied at any stage of his career. (emphasis added)

URPE also was very close to the Institute for Policy Studies (IPS), once the largest and most influential of the far-left think tanks in Washington. Since its founding in 1963, the IPS has consistently followed a pro-Marxist line on foreign policy, defense, and economic issues. (emphasis added)

To put its policy recommendations into action, the IPS “built networks of contacts among congressional legislators and their staffs, academics, government officials, and the national media,” according to the book The War Called Peace: The Soviet Peace Offensive.

The IPS also was on very close terms with representatives of communist Cuba and the former Soviet Union. (emphasis added)

In 1978, in an article in National Review, Brian Crozier, director of the London-based Institute for the Study of Conflict, described IPS as the “perfect intellectual front for Soviet activities which would be resisted if they were to originate openly from the KGB.” (emphasis added)

In the 1988 book Winning America: Ideas and Leadership for the 1990s, edited by IPS leaders Marcus Raskin and Chester Hartman, the IPS and DSA affiliate Sean Gervasi recommended a slate of radical colleagues as potential appointees in a hoped-for new Democratic administration after the 1988 election.

Gervasi’s wish list included the following:

  • Barry Bluestone—SDS founder, DSA affiliate, URPE member. Served as a member of the senior policy staff of former Rep. Richard Gephardt (D-Mo.).
  • Gar Alperovitz—IPS, DSA, Brookings Institute.
  • Robert Browne—SDS, IPS.
  • Jeff Faux—DSA affiliate. Faux has worked as an economist with the U.S. Office of Economic Opportunity and the U.S. Departments of State, Commerce, and Labor.
  • Carol O’Cleireacain—DSA member, Brookings Institute. In 2014, she became Detroit deputy mayor for economic policy, planning, and strategy.
  • Howard Wachtel—IPS, URPE member.
  • Art MacEwan—URPE member, DSA affiliate.

And, of course, Donald Harris, Marxist professor and Kamala Harris’s father. (emphasis added)

Republican George H.W. Bush won the 1988 election, so professor Harris stayed on at Stanford until his retirement.

Ironically, Kamala Harris’s most formidable opponent in the Democratic primary so far is Bernie Sanders, a favorite of professor Harris’s old URPE and DSA colleagues.

When Sanders drops out of a very crowded Democratic primary, will his supporters cross over to support Kamala Harris?

I believe they will. In fact, I believe it has already been decided. source

Obviously, the author of this article was wrong. The Dems decided that Joe Biden was their pick. But of course, old Joe was advised to pick a Marxist thinker as his running mate. As a matter of fact, I think that Joe is just following orders from his handler. They have a puppet running – just what the Globalists ordered.

Socialism sounds so much kinder that Marxism, doesn’t it? But I like to call a spade a spade.

To me, Ms. Harris is simply a female version of Barack Hussein Obama.

I am praying that we see another Trump victory. But in these crazy days, anything is possible. Aren’t you so glad that we can trust our God, who is in full control? I know I am.

We must hope and pray for the best, but be ready for anything, because God is at work and He is in full control!

How Can I Be Saved?

Shalom b’Yeshua

MARANATHA!!
