Family Economics Conference in North Carolina

Lance & I on the plane headed to North Carolina Family Economics Conference where Chad Roach/Kevin Swanson had invited us to speak in a Family Business panel. ~Dinah

Outside of Portland, Oregon. 

 Flying over Portland


Christy Hensley prepared for an overseas adoption, got a call that a mother just delivered a newborn in Florida and wanted to give her up. Since she went while the mother was still in the hospital an attorney did the paperwork without an adoption agency. Christy named her Hadassa because she was born around the time of Purim. I'd love to have a little one like this. ~Dinah

 Scott & Deborah 
hosted about 45 in their home 
after they put on the Sunday church meal.

Lance and Dinah had great conversations about just war, national Israel, George Bush...with Aaron & Josiah Courter.

Binkley Chapel

Sunday morning Hope Baptist Church met at the Binkley Chapel to host the crowd. Kevin Swanson delivered a powerful message on the law of God. He quoted from Rom. 14:17 "The kingdom of God is not eating and drinking. It is righteousness, joy and peace in the holy spirit." Where there is war, that is not the kingdom. War is not a blessed time.

 Joshua & Jim with Lance

 Verret Family hosted us for the weekend
transporting us to the conference
lunch, church and out to the 
Scott and Deborah Brown home for Sun. evening.

 Scott & Deborah, with a heart for hospitality included comfy chairs in their kitchen.  We were delighted when the beans and cornbread were ready.


 You can talk with a friend or nurse your baby in the kitchen.

 Here is the sitting room before their big living room.
 This house is designed for many conversations.

 Here's the living room with the swing fastened to the right that can swing right over the dining table. About 45 of us gathered there hosted by Scott & Deborah. Scott concluded the evening by gathering us for a time of singing.

They built a barn, then decided it would make a great house.  The master bedroom is in the hay loft.


Here is the grandparents (Scott's parents) suite, 
off the sitting room in a remodeled garage. 

Grandparent's own living Room



 There are lots of beds in the loft for good times together with friends. We've heard of this house, now we got to see it. Hospitality changes the world.



Kevin & I enjoyed talking
about family business,
taking care of Grandpa
who built bee boxes at age 89.
He told me about his father.


Connie Verret with the youngest Miller.


 The Verret family is a great blessing, an answer to our prayers. The minute we got out of our taxi from the airport, we met the Verret family and enjoyed many meals together. They took us to the conference each day, out for lunch, to church and out to the Scott & Deborah Brown home.


The Miller family have the Golden Rule Air Conditioning and Heating business in Houston, Texas.  Their son Joshua chose to work with his family rather than as an air force pilot. I discussed war with him (Ps. 68). I heard he had gotten out of the air force, and was delighted we could go to lunch together.

I had the honor and blessing of traveling with my sister, Dinah. We had a wonderful time meeting so many people
on the airline and at the conference. I wish we could have gotten pictures of all the friends with whom we enjoyed conversations over this memorable weekend.


Jackie was our gracious hostess who got up at 2:30,
 took us to the airport at 3 A.M. 
We also enjoyed talks with 
her husband, Dan 
who takes care of his parents 
about 12 hours a day, 5 days a week

Divided, the movie


Covenantal families shouldn't be divided at church into many different groups. Covenantal teaching needs to be unified within the family so that it all comes together at home as the father leads review of the lessons at church.

Friends



Friends are like lights in the dark universe. When you lose them, you do not see them anymore. They are like a light that went out. ~Jodavid, on being defriended.

26 years ago today...


Grandma and Grandpa took me to the hospital

to meet my baby sister.

Mom and Dad gave me a doll named Dianne,

so both Mom and I would have a baby.

I still have the doll.

Remarkably, she still has her hat

and still blows strawberry kisses when I squeeze her.


Someday I hope to give her to my little girl.


"I’m Keeping My Baby" by Dinah Seppi

17-year-old Tara, came in a Taxi with her mother. She was a beautiful well dressed black girl not just a little beautiful she was “drop dead gorgeous.” Her mother was the same. I tried to give the girl a pamphlet on abortion and it’s effects on women and help. She shook her head sadly.

“She has to! This will mess up her whole life.” Her mother retorted.

I showed the young girl a model of a 10 week baby, the normal size to abort. “I would love to adopt your baby!” I said softly.

She listened quietly. I talked to her as our friend Terri Palmquist talked to the mother. As the mother hustled her to the stairs of the clinic, I called, “You are such a beautiful girl you would have a beautiful child! Please, I would love to adopt your baby!”

As the young girl moved toward the door she looked back at me three times with searching eyes. I could tell this was something her mom was pushing her to do. She was just going along with it. She went in. The door closed.

“Well, that is about all you can do. So little time. Just wait for the next girl,” I thought. I was not much of a yeller there yet. Terri said, “If you yell, they can hear you through the glass upstairs.” We were out on the sidewalk.

15 minutes later the mom came out on the balcony talking on her cell phone, “She does not want it, but, I told her she has to.”

When I heard that, it gave me urgency and a lot more backbone. I told Terri. She yelled. I prayed God would give us the words. He did.

I called out, “Don’t listen to your mother! Fight for your child. Fight against all enemies that would hurt your child... Your baby wants to live. Only YOU can fight for your baby. He has no voice to fight. To be a mother is one of the greatest gifts God gives a women. To be a mother is a great honor.”


Around 4:40 P.M. after we were long gone, Terri was in her motor home getting ready to call it a day. Tera stood outside wanting to talk. Teri’s daughter, Amy, walked up. Tara’s mother said, “Where are they?”

“Huh?” our friend Amy said.

“I’m just waiting for a ride,” the mother said.

Tara wanted to tell the good news. “Your words kept going through my mind. I am keeping my baby!”

Terri gave her a plastic ziplock bag of sweet baby clothes. She had happy tears.

Humanism

"Humanism is the trust in one's own evaluations rather than in the power and promises of God. God’s word is seen as valid only if confirmed and substantiated by man’s word. This is called the sin of rebellion; it is a rejection of God’s word in favor of man’s word. Antinomianism is a form of such rebellions, as is a belief that pietism and religious exercises can replace God’s requirement of obedience." ~Rushdoony 




“A rebellious mind is truly hell on earth.” Geoff Botkin 

Birth Control




“Birth control appeals to the advanced radical 
because it is calculated 
to undermine the authority of
 the Christian churches.” 
~Margaret Sanger



  

The Birth Control League was founded by Margaret Sanger. She later changed the name to Planned Parenthood. So the newsletter with this quote was published by Ms. Sanger. 

Population Control is one of the next big battles we will face. The recent UN summit in Mexico strategized that because Global Warming isn't happening that population is the "global crisis."

The Iraq War


“One million dead Iraqis, 4 million displaced Iraqis, a destroyed country, 4,754 dead American troops, 40,000 wounded and maimed, 3 trillion dollars wasted debt, increasing peril to dollar as the world's reserve currency, 10 years of propaganda and lies about Al-Qaeda, an American "war on terror" that has and is destroying lives in Yemen, Pakistan, Somalia, and Afghanistan, and which has destroyed the Bill of Rights, the Constitution and the civil liberties they guarantee...” ~Paul Craig Roberts

Calvary Chapel Pastor Chuck Smith Suggests Abortion

This includes a photo of a Calvary Chapel woman who died with her child in an abortion.


Why does Chuck refer to the infant as a fetus after recommending abortion in this case? The Lord says that He has fearfully and wonderfully made us in our mother's womb. His strength is made perfect in weakness. These children would glorify the Lord by their life and death when He takes them.

The Greatest Christian Warmonger of All Time

I had never heard of Ellis Washington until I saw his recent WorldNetDaily article titled "Nation-building? No, Christian-building" and did some digging. Besides being aweekend commentator for WorldNetDaily, Washington is a black conservative, a graduate of the John Marshall Law School, former editor of the Michigan Law Review, host of an Atlanta radio program, and a lecturer and freelance writer on constitutional law, legal history, and critical race theory. He is also a devotee of radio talk show host Michael Savage (read hissickening tribute to Savage here) and, above all, the greatest Christian warmonger of all time.

The Greatest Christian Warmonger of All Time by Laurence M. Vance


Colossians 2:8 “Beware lest anyone cheat you through philosophy and empty deceit, according to the tradition of men, according to the basic principles of the world, and not according to Christ.”


Christians will lose everything if we fail to recognize the neoconservative and his war mongering. ~David


Constitutional republics are brought to their knees by offensive wars. American churches use to send missionaries to convert cultures to Christianity, now the new Marxist state sends armies with the Jihad-esque Messianic statist message 'Convert and worship the scientific, secular, sovereign state or die.' ~Melody

H.B. 54: Georgia Pastor Supports Carrying in Places of Worship (www.geor...

In the early days of Pilgrim and Puritan America, IT WAS AGAINST THE LAW FOR A MAN NOT TO HAVE HIS FIREARM IN CHURCH.

Reconstruction

“A ‘Reconstructionist’ is one who holds to the applicability of God’s law to modern society and government, while holding at the same time to the postmillinnial hope that promises that Christianity will win the world to Christ through the gospel, which is ‘the power of God unto salvation.’”

What's In The Name Iona?



"Three years ago I traveled with my son David to the island of Iona. It just so happened that we were traveling with his wife to be. He didn’t know it then, but he hoped. Now he has named his firstborn daughter, Iona Wisdom Brown...

It was here in Iona that the seeds of the American Revolution were sown. The Christian faith on Iona held the thinking that made America possible. Joe Morecraft explained it this way,

“This is the most important place on earth, for you can trace the reformation and the founding of America to the followers of Columba. Their history belongs to us. Our roots as American Christians can be traced to this community in Iona.”

Nullification: Interview with a Zombie


Nullification is when a unconstitutional bill passes in congress

the states have the right, the duty, not to enforce but to oppose it.

In Hitler’s book, Mein Kamph, he opposed nullification.

It is history that teaches us to hope.

“The march of Providence is so slow, our desires so impatient, the work of progress is so immense, and our means of aiding it so feeble, the life of humanity is so long, that of the individual so brief, that we often see only the ebb of the advancing wave and are thus discouraged. It is history that teaches us to hope.” ~Robert E. Lee  (January 19, 1807 – October 12, 1870)

Silence is Not Righteousness


Some joined us at the abortion mill counseling in spanish, others stood aside praying with their rosary beads, but believe it is more spiritual to say nothing to the many girls escorted inside, taking their babies to their murderer.  ~Dinah 

 Open your mouth for the speechless, In the cause of all who are appointed to die.  Open your mouth, judge righteously, And plead the cause of the poor and needy. Prov. 31:8-9



Even praying there is perceived as a threat.  The escorts yell at them just for praying.   It's just sad to us that silence is perceived as being more spiritual. Yet we are thankful for their stand for life. One couple brings hot Mexican lunches to everyone.

The American Monkey Can't Let Go by Fred Reed

God is Sovereign; God is Good


“I tell my girls that I want them to 
remember two things forever that I taught them -
 God is Sovereign 
and 
He is so good. 
Those are two things that will never change
 that will change your life
 and give you peace.”

America Has Gone Away

"Today no one believes that our country’s success depends on an informed public and a free press. America’s success depends on its financial and military hegemony over the world. Any information inconsistent with the indispensable people’s god-given right to dominate the world must be suppressed and the messenger discredited and destroyed.
Now that the press has voluntarily shed its First Amendment rights, the government is working to redefine free speech as a privilege limited to the media, not a right of citizens. Thus, the insistence that WikiLeaks is not a media organization and Fox News (sic) turning in a citizen for exercising free speech. Washington’s assault on Assange and WikiLeaks is an assault on what remains of the US Constitution. When we cheer for WikiLeaks’ demise, we are cheering for our own." ~Paul Craig Roberts

God is Sovereign, not man, not church, not civil government.


Vision Forum Intern Nathaniel Darnell photo by CSHayden.blogspot.com



“God...allows only ministries to function under Him, and very limited ones at that. Civil government is severely limited because in Biblical law its taxing power is limited to head or poll tax, half shekel for every man aged twenty or over per year, neither more nor less (Ex. 30:11-16).
The church is also limited, because of the tithe, God’s tax, is to the Lord, not to the sanctuary. One-tenth of the tithe went directly to the priests. (Num. 18:25-6)  
Neither church nor state have any valid Biblical grounds for a position of centrality in society. RJ Rushdoony, Sovereignty p. 11
