by ·Comments Off on Clinton In Judgement of Nixon

There is a verse in the Bible that says you will be judged by the same standard with which you judge others.

As people have discussed the issue of impeachment for President Clinton one young man has said in the past, “Yes, the president should resign. He has lied to the American people, time and time again, and betrayed their trust. He is no longer an effective leader. Since he has admitted guilt, there is no reason to put the American people through an impeachment. He will serve absolutely no purpose in finishing out his term; the only possible solution is for the President to save some dignity and resign.”

That young man . . . was William Jefferson Clinton in 1974, regarding the infamous Watergate Scandal and the impeachment of President Nixon.

Back then, it seems that he was more concerned about America than himself, and he seemed to have a sense of honor and integrity.

Maybe if that young Clinton looked at the current situation he would honestly assess his own presidency the same way. Perhaps that is the standard of judgement that should be applied today.

by ·Comments Off on Anheuser Busch Must Know Their Beer Is Not Fit For Real Men

It is interesting to see an Anheuser Busch ad blatantly trying to appeal to the homosexual community… by encouraging men to “just be themselves.”

It shows two men strolling hand in hand, muscles rippling just above their entwined fingers. It is hard to understand the business savvy to appeal to 1% of the population by alienating the other 99%. But look at the slogan, which I would imagine is an exhortation to everyone… to “just be themselves.”

That means the gang of guys sitting around the set watching Monday night football can make gagging sounds when the commercial comes on. Or they can decide if this is the “queer” beer, then it’s not for them. After all, they really should follow their heart and do what is best for them.

And it means that people who truly believe that the homosexual lifestyle is deceptive, and destroys lives, should be themselves, and express this openly in every forum.

So I applaud Anheuser Busch for having the courage to finally challenge men to just be themselves… be men for a change and defend heterosexuality as the preferred lifestyle… by 99% of the American public. This is Nina May for the Renaissance Women and men.

This article is marked for review due to fact checking.

http://prayerfoundation.org/favoritemonks/favorite_monks_telemachus_coliseum.htm

During the second century, Christians were still being persecuted in Rome. The sport of feeding them to lions or having the Gladiators kill them like animals, was common.

A monk named Telemachus, happened upon one of these arenas and was appalled by what he saw.

He was a small man in stature and old in years, but his feebleness did not prohibit the passion of the Lord to rise up in him.

He went out into the middle of the arena, held up his hands in front of a Gladiator, who was about to kill an innocent man for sport, and said, “Forebear in the name of the Lord . . . forebear.”

For a moment there was stunned silence, and then the Caesar motioned for the warrior to kill the monk so the games could continue.

The Gladiator ran him through with his spear. Then slowly, without any prompting, the people started leaving the stadium, until no one was left.

And it was that day that the sport of killing Christians ended.

It took one person with courage to look at the face of death and not shrink from what was right.

It usually only takes one person to change the course of history . . . for good or evil.

by ·Comments Off on Patrick Henry’s Version of Liberty

When Patrick Henry said, “Give me liberty or give me death,” he wasn’t demanding something, or promising to hold his breath till he turned blue. He understood that the price he would pay to obtain liberty could very well be his life.

Today, society equates liberty with license and fails to understand the cost of that freedom. Kids are taught that if they protect themselves by having safe sex there will be no consequences. They are not told of the consequences of broken hearts, tarnished reputations and in many cases, infertility. Women are told that if they leave their family for the professional freedom, everything will be OK, as long as joint custody is arranged for the kids. They are not told that the cost of that freedom is destroyed self-esteem in their children, and estranged relationships that are never repaired.

Some people don’t realize that by demanding their unbridled freedom, that their cost may be spiritual death. They have distorted Patrick Henry’s noble words . . . Their cause is not greater than themselves, it is themselves.

by ·Comments Off on Right to Privacy

Contrary to feminist’s protestations, a woman cannot do with her body as she pleases. There are many laws that prevent a woman from harming herself and others.

She can’t sell her body, take illegal drugs, or punch someone in the face with her fist. Even the laws that require a woman to wear a seat belt violate her right to privacy according to the feminist’s definition of privacy. It forces her to strap belts over her stomach and between her breasts.

But most people are willing to sacrifice their privacy for safety because it makes sense. That same common sense should tell a woman that to allow a stranger to invade the privacy of her womb by performing an abortion is unsafe . . . and always results in the death of her own flesh and blood.

Women need to stop being intimidated from engaging in the debate about abortion. They need to understand that of all laws, this one, on its face, violates the most sacred right to privacy.

by ·Comments Off on Intolerance

Every person alive is intolerant of something.

Most parents are intolerant of their children misbehaving. Policemen are intolerant of any of us running a red light. Teachers are intolerant of students not turning in their homework. And everyone is intolerant of child abuse and exploitation.

You get the picture. Intolerance is a good thing in a society that has established its moral code on absolutes that can be categorized as simply, right and wrong.

These absolutes don’t shift with social trends, or move when a certain political party is in power. Hence the term . . . absolutes. But we have allowed the term intolerant to be used as a scarlet letter on the breast of those who believe in moral absolutes. In many ways, intolerance is the most compassionate characteristic of a civilized society.

Because to tolerate immorality hurts not only the participant, but those who see that actions don’t have consequences. Intolerance is not judgmental . . . it is sanity out of chaos.

by ·Comments Off on Judgment

We keep hearing that it is unchristian to be judgmental. This is the spin given by people who don’t really understand what Christianity is all about. But they are not to blame.

How is anyone going to learn about Christ when Christians don’t reflect His character?  Christ did judge the Pharisees and call them hypocrites. He overturned the tables in the temple because in His judgement it was being desecrated. He had standards that would not be compromised. But, He always showed compassion and love to those who received the judgment of the world.

The prostitute, the tax collector, the lepers, anyone who realized that judgement was due them . . . these were the ones He loved. It was only those who set themselves up as superior to others, that He showed contempt for. And they in turn crucified Him.

Are you willing to give your life for what is right even though the world condemns you as a radical? That is Christ’s challenge to each of us. This is Nina May for the Renaissance Women.

by ·Comments Off on Queen Esther

Queen Esther was a renaissance women of her time. She believed in something greater than herself. She was willing to sacrifice herself for the lives of her countrymen . . . and she used her God-given talents of grace and virtue to accomplish this end.

One of the main reasons she was so successful in saving the lives of those condemned to death, was that her husband respected her. Her power lay in her relationship to her husband who had the power to destroy these lives with a stroke of a pen. Her power was his love for her. He would do anything to protect and honor her . . even by granting any wish.

Feminists today talk about women being powerful without the need or help of a men, yet they fail to realize that God put men and women on the earth to work together as partners.

Women have far more power than they realize if they allow God’s power not the world’s power, to manifest in them.

Esther’s husband, had the power to kill his first wife for her impudence. Esther’s love gave him even more power as thousands of lives were saved.

by ·Comments Off on Risky Business

Remember the scene in the movie Risky Business where Tom Cruise slides across the floor in his underwear singing, That Old Time Rock and Roll? He was in a party-mood because he was left in charge of the house while his parents were away.

In the movie, Tom Cruise starts getting into jam after jam as he turns control of the house over to people with an agenda to destroy, not preserve the house. He ends up having to buy back the family treasure with his ill-gotten gains. But unlike the movie, our national character, our historical integrity have been destroyed by the intruders in our national home. And no amount of money will erase the harmful image they have created.

Tom Cruise finally realized it was time to put his pants back on, turn off the music, and give the keys to the house back to the adults. He realized the party was over . . and that it was time to get down to preserving his heritage. At least he grew up.

by ·Comments Off on Women of Virtue

The Golden Rule is not taught in the public schools because of its religious content.

The characteristics of love, compassion, humility, faith, and gentleness are not religious precepts. They are the characteristics that God has etched on each of our hearts. That truth, although taught by many religions, and called by many names, is the inherent and undeniable truth of God’s ultimate purpose in each person’s life.

As women, we can chose to embrace these qualities and rise from obscurity in the eyes of the world, to positions of great height in the eyes of God. Or we can wallow in self-pity, condemnation and intolerance.

The women of the world are at a crossroads and can chose to be numbered in the camp of victim, or they can turn their hurt, pain and anger into life and love.

The Renaissance Women want to inspire women to nurture, support, and encourage other women to seek their better angels within themselves and appeal to that side of man which responds best to love.
