Our Bibles and Guns

written by Gary B. Dotson

Bear with what you may call melodrama, but America is at a crucial crossroads in her history at which the patriots within her borders must determine the path she will take in what seems, currently, to be the twilight of her existence. I warned you about the dramatics.
Right now, America is under assault at every side by godless, Leftist policies, and spineless leadership from the political Right. The leadership of America has grown fat, lazy, and hopelessly addicted to the comfortable standard of living and freedom and liberty purchased by our forebears with their collective lives, combined fortunes, and their priceless, sacred honor. America seems adrift upon the sea of moral and political relativism and she is paying the price. Her enemies are arming to the teeth around the clock and we have not learned one single lesson from the deafening noise of the fall of mighty, powerful Rome.
The end of Rome was inevitable as it was a completely godless political entity. The Roman citizens worldwide were governed by a litany of emperors drunk with absolute power and apathetic senators separated from the average citizen by an immeasurable gulf of riches and status.
Pure and simple, as America moves further and further away from its founding Biblical priciples, it will invariably embrace the same ideologies that thrust China into the bloody violence of blackhearted communism under the regime of Chairman Mao Zedong. Many Americans incorrectly think that "it can't happen here."
Christians and patriots, we must understand that without Christ at the center of all of our actions and thoughts, there's nothing on earth or within us that can restrain us from embracing the god of Humanism. Man will always worship something- anything.
In every oppressive regime, especially in the 20th century, Bibles and guns have been the targets of these regimes for systematic elimination. Already, America has clearly moved into a post-Christian age where Jesus Christ and the Bible are ridiculed with astonishing regularity and nonchalance. The mockers fail to realize that the enduring faith and devotion to Jesus Christ over the years by citizens and statesmen alike have helped make America a marvelously peculiar nation, unlike any that has ever existed. The Bible, more than any other book or idea elevated women to the equality of men and revealed their God-deposited worth. The Bible set forth the foundations for the limitations and responsibilities of government and the duties of a citizenry free from their first breath. Tyrants hate absolute, unalterable Truth because it shows that there is yet a greater Authority above them that shall bring to light their every act into the scouring light of the purity of His righteous judgment.
The Bible must be attacked by them and it will be again, just as in ultra-orthodox Islamo-fascist societies that at least, once tolerated Christianity.
When a people realize that they are created as free men and women with rights that cannot be taken by human government, they will be empowered to defend themselves, not their rights, but their status as free people in God's sight.
Faced with the fact that all- ALL human government becomes corrupt sooner or later, if patriots call themselves Christian and vice versa, it's high time to live righteously and responsibly according to Christ's standard only, but we must deposit as much Bible into our minds as possible to do that before it's too late and we must stand at the ready to defend ourselves from a corrupt government. We defend ourselves not to protect "rights" but as a deterrent to prevent the slaughter of human beings that is sure to come if we falter at all.
The Bible is our invincible, number one weapon that not only gives us the protocol on how to deal with injustice but also the message of the Gospel which is able to disarm all of the wickedness in men's hearts.
The hour is very late and the time draws near wherein we must make a stand to save this nation from extinction.
Get the Word in your heart before the Bibles are confiscated or outlawed as "hate literature."

American Fuhrer

Recently, I was watching a program on the History Channel called The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich, and obviously from the title, one can surmise the content of the program. The scenes that I saw were absolutely shocking as new analyses of the depths of Nazi cruelty were made by astute historians. I thought that I had a pretty concise summation of that darkest of periods of world history but I'm forced to admit my error. I learned new facts about not only the slaughter of millions of Jews, but the compliance of the German people in those atrocities.
This is not about the apathy of the German citizenry, or even about the wickedness of the National Socialist regime. This is more about the failure of the people of the United States to learn the most important lesson to be learned about the rise to power of the Third Reich.
Germany was dealt a humiliating and totally debilitating defeat in World War I and consequently, Germany's infrastructure was decimated. I want to just briefly but reasonably speculate on the state of the common German citizen. Currently in America, we're experiencing the worst economic trial since the Great Depression in the late 1920's through the start of America's entry into World War II. Even with part-time work, unemployment insurance and government assistance with subsidized housing and food stamps, times are difficult for millions of Americans- we haven't had a war fought on Anerican soil since the Civil War of the mid-1800's. Imagine Germany then, with the currency completely devalued, natural resources depleted or unable to be accessed, tens of millions of young German men, who had been the backbone of a robust work force dead or physically handicapped but in both cases, unable to work.
Imagine having arguably the most advanced society on planet earth, a center for higher learning, industry, and technological innovation, and a very high standard of living replete with almost every amenity imaginable. My point in stressing Germany's high standard of living is to point out how as human beings we become attached, expectant of our comfortability. This is true all over the world. (Look at the violent civil unrest in Greece right now, or in France over asterity measures.)
The German people went from plenty to nothing. From banks, full of Goldmarks and Papiermarks, grocery stores exploding with food to living off of rodents, even garbage. Imagine proud fathers, who wanted no handouts, who actually wanted to work to provide for their families as they always had, to the torture of having to watch wife and children starving and in want. Imagine dutiful mothers who desired nothing more than their family's well-being, foregoing food and comforts for children or aging parents.
Then suddenly, a man, strong-willed and brandishing the most powerful, irresistible oratorical skills one had ever seen before by anyone- a war hero as well- appears on the scene. He clearly and effectively lays out a plan to propel the nation back into its "superpower" status and that no longer would anyone be in need for anything whatsoever.
A people with empty stomachs will agree to almost anything. Anything.
Germany gave Adolph Hitler their everything in exchange for their lives back. The cost-? Close to fifty million men, women and children dead, billions of dollars in property damage and the Final Solution.
America is at a critical point in her history. The population continues to become more and more apathetic, increasingly less engaged in the political process, and almost totally engrossed in materialism and hedonism. We have fallen in love with our comforts and we expect- we expect- our stomachs to be full.
We are perfectly set up for some terrible disaster, whether natural or man-induced, to empty our bellies, deprive us of our cellular phone gods and other shiny pacifiers to force us to our knees for some American fuhrer to promise us our comforts in return for our very freedom. Americans have believed that "it can't happen here" but it can and will if we do not learn this harsh but crystal clear lesson from history.

Tiffany Defeats Cancer

Cancer has, over the years, come to illicit the most agonizing of emotions even from those of us regarded as the strongest as well as those regarded as the mildest. "The Big C", "The Invisible Monster" are just a couple of titles given to this devastatingly harsh disease that has for centuries meant a certainty of death for those that diagnosed with this scourge. Recently in human history, most specifically in the late 20th century, scientific research and ingenuity have helped to make effective counteroffensives against a condition that has and is still taking the lives of millions on planet earth at this very moment. Yes, cancer, in nearly every one of its forms, kills almost certainly. Death may approach at the lazy, yet unceasing pace of a worm or like lightning when tigers hunt prey.
The blow to mind and spirit is almost always extreme, leaving the host in a state of disarray, disbelief, and with feelings of despair.
Yet, the best of us are able, after grappling with torrential storms of emotion, to not only look the beast in its heartless, blackhearted eyes, but to stand, and not rise to merely live the rest of life in mediocrity but with a mind and heart fixed on glorious victory wherein standing tall is the first volley of the war.
I know a woman with whom I share the same blood, the same name, many of the same memories, who right now is standing tall and free, openly brandishing the weapons that has forced the beast to hurriedly retreat. Tiffany L. Dotson is armed with an array of weapons that the beast had not considered the potency thereof and has paid a high price for its foolish miscalculation.
Even the most astute of scientists have failed to harness the tiniest of a fraction of the limitless power of the tools of her warfare. I shouldn't be surprised, for how could their formal, logical reasoning mathematically quantify the energy contained in her smile, more brilliant than one thousand suns, that is the outward indicator of an indomitable courage and joy? The beast had no answer to the onslaught of the laughter of a girl named Gabrielle full of innocence and happiness and it was crushed by a spirit free from this world's corruption. To spur her on, she has, in unending supply, the love of a family who walks her path with her and willing to shoulder any load for her. Ah, but she is strong- Tiffany has proven mightier than the monster and she stands today proud and as vibrant as ever.
Her family thanks the almighty God, Who in infinite wisdom bade her walk this bitter and simultaneously sweet path, Who alone knows the end thereof and we submit to His will and pray His grace, mercy, and continued strength in Jesus' Name.
Through chemotherapy and the subsequent ailments, under heavy crosses of emotional weight Tiffany presses on living life to the full, knowing all too well that her life is not her own but "owned" in part by her delicate flower that shares her face and soul- Gabrielle. I can do nothing but admire such dignity and courage and would like to think that her example would be followed by me should the beast attack me as well...
The Dotson Family loves immeasurably, Tiffany L. Dotson, and we rejoice that cancer has been unable to conquer you.
