Now the serpent was more crafty than any of the wild animals the LORD God had made. He said to the woman, “Did God really say, ‘You must not eat from any tree in the garden’?” The woman said to the serpent, “We may eat fruit from the trees in the garden, but God did say, ‘You must not eat fruit from the tree that is in the middle of the garden, and you must not touch it, or you … Continue reading →
Online Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPPA) training is a good accomplishment for any healthcare skilled to have under their belt. Anytime a healthcare representative is dealing with patients you want them to treat the patient as professionally as possible. Treating patients with care and protecting their privacy is extremely important. By becoming familiar with the HIPPA regulations you are going to keep from exploiting any of their personal information.

By Chuck Baldwin July 9, 2008 I ask the indulgence of my non-churched readers, as this column is specifically designed to challenge the hearts and minds of professing believers. The Old Testament prophet Jeremiah faced a generation that is very similar to the one we face today, I am afraid. Political and corporate leaders had given themselves over to corruption and duplicity. The fundamental underpinnings that founded and supported the nation were being dismantled. And the spiritual leaders seemed to … Continue reading →
Pragmatism is more concerned with what ‘works’ than with what is true. In the absence of objective truth, how are we to decide which of two possible actions is preferable? The answer is provided by the only philosophical system made in America: pragmatism which maintains that the value of ideas is determined by their consequences. Developed by the 19th-century American philosophers Charles Sanders Peirce, William James, and others, this philosophical doctrine holds that the test of the truth of a … Continue reading →
Any cursory review of this issue has to conclude that we have to change welfare as we know it. We simply cannot continue to handle this problem as we have in the past. Having established this as a premise, what does the Bible reveal about this critical matter? Can we discharge our responsibilities to the poor by personal charitable action or through supporting the humanitarian (i.e. welfare) policies of the State? President Lyndon Johnson’s “war on poverty” is now into … Continue reading →
Preparedness used to be a word reserved for ‘conspiracy theorists’. People would think you were a little strange if you were ready at a moment’s notice to evacuate with an emergency kit, or if you stored extra food and water in case the stores shut down due to a natural disaster. That’s no longer the case. The Federal Emergency Management Agency, state emergency management agencies, the American Red Cross, and other leading government and non-profit agencies are consistently delivering the … Continue reading →
The purpose of FEMA is to coordinate the response to a disaster which occurs in the United States and which overwhelms the resources of local and state authorities. FEMA was established under the 1978 Reorganization Plan No. 3, and activated April 1, 1979 by President Jimmy Carter in his Executive Order 12127. In July, Carter signed Executive Order 12148 shifting disaster relief efforts to the new federal level agency. FEMA absorbed the Federal Insurance Administration, the National Fire Prevention and … Continue reading →
The following are the 95 theses Augustinian monk Martin Luther nailed to a church door in Wittenberg, Germany 1. When our Lord and Master Jesus Christ said, “Repent” (Mt 4:17), he willed the entire life of believers to be one of repentance. 2. This word cannot be understood as referring to the sacrament of penance, that is, confession and satisfaction, as administered by the clergy. 3. Yet it does not mean solely inner repentance; such inner repentance is worthless unless … Continue reading →
Then Peter came to Jesus and asked, “Lord, how many times shall I forgive my brother when he sins against me? Up to seven times?” Jesus answered, “I tell you, not seven times, but seventy-seven times. [Matthew 18:21-22] “A Bad Dream” “DAD how dare you look in my diary?” Max screamed at his father in fury. Chuck was red with anger at his little boy for what he read in that diary. “How dare you lie to me? You said … Continue reading →
Universal Soldier by Buffy Sainte-Marie “Nothing will end war unless the people themselves refuse to go to war.” – Albert Einstein
Continue reading →As chaos envelops the world, the crucial need of the human race is to find a unifying vision of the nature of man and society. For the past century humanity’s response to this impulse has driven a succession of ideological upheavals that have convulsed our world and that appear now to have exhausted themselves. The passion invested in the struggle, despite its disheartening results, testifies to the depth of the need. For, without a common conviction about the course and … Continue reading →

Trump talks about rebuilding our military making it the strongest in the world. Trump talks about destroying ISIS and winning the war against radical Islamic terrorism.

The gatekeeper decides what information goes forward and what does not. Controlling the populations primary sources of information is one of the most effective ways to manipulate and “regulate” the minds and consciousness of a mass of people at a very basic level. This powerful way to shape the collective consciousness of the public has been in the hands of the multi-national corporate mass media in the United States for decades and many mass media outlets have been both willingly … Continue reading →

America is quickly loosing the respect of the American people as politicians routinely lie and cheat their way into office. Most of those that end up going to Washington spend more time looking to sell their votes to their favorite corporate sponsor rather than representing their constituents. It’s not uncommon for these politicians to secure a comfy corporate job or board position after leaving public office through what’s known as a revolving door. Examples of individuals who have moved between … Continue reading →
