Web Cam Abortions coming soon to Missouri?

       With the impending arrival of Michelle Obama to a local Springfield Wal Mart to push her pet propaganda, "healthy food choices", I cannot help but to find this very ironic.  The fact she would push for an issue to improve the lives of young kids on one hand and with the other hand push for the murder of the unborn. The Obama's are on record comparing the unborn to an STD and a punishment (Town Hall Meeting in Johnstown, Pennsylvania, March 29, 2008). Why the contradiction? Life is valuable from conception to the grave, yet to our president and his party that is not the case. And this brings me to my bigger concern.
That concern is right now in Jefferson City there is a bill that needs to get some major attention, and more importantly passed. Jeanie Riddle has introduced HB 400. What this bill will do is ban in the state of Missouri, web-cam abortions. Yes, you  read that right, Planned Parenthood has got creative and now do web-cam abortions. It is already happening in Iowa and they want to bring it here because it could circumvent the strict laws already on the books. What happens is a women comes in and has a tran-vaginal ultrasound buy  non-medical personnel and then those are e mailed to a doctor in a central location. The doctor then meets with the women via web-cam where the doctor will, by a push of a button, dispense a chemical abortion pill, like RU 486. The patient has no personal contact with the medical professional and no follow up either.
Are Missourians going to simply sit back and let this happen in our state? I sure hope not. Why is when ones guns are threatened they are up in arms literally. However when the life of a defenceless unborn child is at stake there is little to no uproar. In fact, I have heard more complaint about Michelle Obama's food choice visit than this critical bill. The Government exist to protect those who need it most. Yet, it seems those in office (the GOP has a veto proof majority BTW), are more concerned about issues that are not a matter of life and death. So call your State Representative and Senator and tell them to pass HB 400 this year or loose your vote next year. The Right to Life is guaranteed in the Constitution of the United States. It is about time we act like it.

Politics above Preaching

Sadly in the pulpit today to many are more worried about spreading their politics over spreading the gospel. As long as this continues America will suffer. Our problem is not a politician problem it is a pastor problem.

America Has Lost Its Moral Compass

     America has lost its moral compass. One just needs to have noticed the events of the last several days to see what I am saying. From Roe’s Anniversary to the recent Inaugural prayer service, one cannot help but to see America has lost it’s way. Recent editorials have only served to prove my point even more. The Bible says “Woe unto them that call evil good and good evil…(Isaiah 5:20). The last few days America has demonstrated this time and time again. Lets look at the biggest.
    First is gun control. Roger Ray’s calling people heartless because they own a handgun for protection shows us once again why he needs to spend more time in the Bible he claims to preach, Jesus himself was a HUGE advocate for people acquiring a weapon for self defense. In Luke 22:36-38, Jesus explains the importance of having a sword for self defense because he knew what was to come after his crucifixion. Yet democrats, Roger Ray, and even Bill O’Reilly would have you believe it is wrong for an American citizen to protect themselves.
    Secondly, the abomination known as abortion. Obama claims he does not want his daughter punished with a baby because of a mistake. Millions upon millions of babies have been killed in the name of convenience. This is abhorrent and no child is a mistake. How a person who claims to be a Christina can say these things is disgusting. No Bible following believer can justify abortion under any circumstance.  The US Constitution actually has the right to life but the right to privacy as it was propagated by Roe justices is a fabrication of the worse kind.  Even if they could find a way to justify it, they then went on to blatantly ignore the 10th amendment and acted as law creators. Life is never a mistake and this abomination is the real travesty in America.
    Thirdly, is the issue of gay rights. Obama incorrectly stated that homosexuals are not equal under the law. They have the same legal rights as anyone else. Marriage is not a right. Marriage was, and always has been a religious institution. The fact the government has learned to tax it is the only reason it has any civil attributes. Marriage was instituted by God in the Garden and is not a civil right.  Homosexuals can have a domestic partnership, but do not blaspheme the God ordained institution of marriage with your lifestyle choice. However, I do not think any non-Bible following couple should have a marriage so I am not singling out homosexuals.
    Lastly, the Inaugural prayer service.  Obama allowed prayers to strange gods in the name of inclusion and tolerance. The Bible is very clear in Exodus 20:3 that you shall have no other gods before me. The time for America to call itself blessed is over. God won’t bless any nation allowing prayers to other gods. America has lost its moral compass and we will now reap the consequences

The Politics of the pulpit

As a minister myself I have been asked a lot lately about my opinion on the comments “Obama’s pastor” made in his career as a UCC pastor. One of those questions were why would a pastor get involved in politics in the first place. Black liberation theology aside, I find that to be a misinformed statement. With the poor quality education the many public schools offer, especially in History, it is no wonder that so many have no clue that the pulpit was the foundation of the founding of America. I cannot of course in a short article explain the entire history to you, but I will paint a small picture in hopes you will be inspired to investigate further.

First, it is sadly unknown that a signer of our Declaration of Independence was indeed a minister. John Witherspoon represented New Jersey in the Continental Congress and was in fact one of many to sign the all important document. More importantly was his influence on America politics. As a professor and president of what became Princeton University, his students would later become judges, thirty seven in fact. Three of which would later hold spots on the Supreme Court. Ten became cabinet members, and twelve served in the Continental Congress. Twenty-eight served in the senate, while forty-nine became US Congressmen. Most importantly one Aaron Burr became Vice-President and another , James Madison became the President of the United States. One pastor had a huge influence on the politics of the day. His pulpit was the classroom since the main purpose of the college then was to train ministers. If there was such a thing as separation of Church and state, why would he sign the Declaration, and also serve in the Congress himself?

This Presbyterian minister was one of the most influential founders in America. His sermons, as well as his classes, shaped America’s future leaders. How can the NEA stand here today and say we were not founded on Christian biblical principles? Many Revolutionary Era sermons were calls to shrug off tyranny and stand up for the moral high ground. Today’s pulpits are void of this because they foolishly think their tax exempt status would somehow be in jeopardy. So they avoid what God’s word says about key cultural issues like gay marriage, abortion, poverty, and yes even racial equality. Was what Wright said justified. Absolutely not! But does God speak on racial equality? Absolutely yes! God is not a “respecter of persons.” Race or gender is not an issue with the Father. Does he care about the poor. You better believe it, and what so-called churches are doing about now is embarrassing. They build giant buildings to house the hypocrites that walk on the other side to avoid the down and out. Occasionally tossing token money to an issue Jesus said we would have with us always. The pulpit, when we were founded, was the center of the Revolution to dispose tyranny. Today it is nothing more then the Harlot of party politics, both sides, and has lost it’s once prominent position of moral compass, and is now so blurred that it seems to resemble the world more then the Lord Jesus Christ. This has been One Man’s Opinion, I pray you share it.

Rev Chris M Fluharty

God made the Heavens and the Earth.

Hebrews 11:3 By faith we understand that the worlds were prepared by the word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things which are visible.

God created this earth. There is no other explanation. A house has a builder. A painting has a painter. Just as creation has a creator. Science is only now catching up to what the Bible has taught for centuries. Science demands a physical sign yet ignores its own demand. Even Darwin said that "As by this theory innumerable transitional forms must have existed, why do we not find them embedded in the countless numbers in the crust of the earth?" Darwin knew his theory was bunk. But because public schools teach it as fact we have many generations now accepting this faith as pure fact. When in truth it is pure absurdity to think it came from nothing.

Hindu Prayers dooms America!

Thursday’s prayer by a Hindu guest chaplain sponsored by Sen. Reid-D was an abomination to God and an insult to the fabric on which this nation was founded. This nation was not founded on Buddha nor Mohammed, but on the God of the Christian Bible. While these religions are free to practice without state interference, they have no right to defile the chamber built on the principles of the one true God. History was made Thursday, but it was also erased as well. This nation in its conception decided that every session would begin with a prayer offered to God. As this nation was battling inner factions Benjamin Franklin offered this piece of sound advice from the Holy Bible. “Unless the Lord builds it they labor in vain“. The Lord is not Buddha or Mohammed. The Lord is Jesus Christ. So Sen. Reid-D has sealed the fate of this nation. We should prepare for events worse than 9/11 and Katrina. God will not let His name be blasphemed so flippantly by Zed or Sen. Reid-D. With the 2008 election just around the corner, maybe faith should play a major factor on who we put in power. God forgive our nation.

Falwell Spoke the Truth

Woe to you, you leftist hypocrites! You cast stones in glass houses and blame the Christians as Rome burns. Why is that God haters came out of the woods when the Rev. Falwell passed away last week? The left wing politicos were quick to remind everyone of Falwell’s so-called bigoted statements, but how is that any different then their bigoted rebuttals this week. Does the media ignore Christian bashing rhetoric when they feel it is well founded? Why does Bill Maher get away with joking about the death of Falwell and a monologue that assaults Catholics and Fundamental Christians on his HBO show. Funny how just a few months ago, Don Imus was fired for a bigoted tirade, but because Maher’s target is those pesky Christian’s, it is ok to speak hate about them. I guess freedom of speech does not apply to a preacher who is suppose to speak out against the sins that we all commit. I guess Springfield just wants Roger Ray and Rick Warren in the pulpit so that they are not convicted of their sins. A punishment worse then 9/11 is coming if we (society) do not turn from our wicked ways. God help us! God will not hear our prayers until we humble ourselves, pray and seek his face, and turn form our wicked ways. Do it now!!!!
