Tribute to Mother Teresa At 101 Birth Anniversary

Friday being the 101 birth anniversary of Saint of Gutters Mother Teresa, the Missionaries of Charity Jyoti Dham in Indore, has decided to celebrate the day by holding morning prayers in the presence of inmates. The inmates would be told about the Saint of Gutter, her dedication and commitment to alleviate sufferings of people. The Missionaries of Charity for men is the only institution in the city and the institute for women is in Ujjain.

Agnes Gonxha Bojaxhiu (Mother Teresa), nun: born Skopje, Macedonia August 26, 1910.
She was the third child in her family and raised by a single parent after her father passed away when she was eight years old. Her mother then raised her as a Roman Catholic. At the age of 12 she knew she wanted to dedicate her life to a religious vocation. She left home to join the convent at age 18 and never saw her mother or sister again.
Mother Teresa dedicated her life to a service of charity, helping the poor, the sick, the dying and those that were starving for love. Teresa wrote in her diary that her first year was fraught with difficulties. She had no income and had to resort to begging for food and supplies. Teresa experienced doubt and loneliness.
Teresa received Vatican permission on October 7, 1950 to start the diocesan congregation that would become the Missionaries of Charity. Its mission was to care for, in her own words, "the hungry, the naked, the homeless, the crippled, the blind, the lepers, all those people who feel unwanted, unloved, uncared for throughout society, people that have become a burden to the society and are shunned by everyone."
In 1979 she received the Nobel Peace Prize. You can go on the Nobel Prize website and hear her speech, she recites the St. Francis of Assisi, Make Me a Channel of Your Peace. Former U.N. Secretary-General Javier Pérez de Cuéllar said: "She is the United Nations. She is peace in the world."On March 13, 1997, she stepped down from the head of Missionaries of Charity. She died on September 5th 1997. She was granted a state funeral by the Indian Government in gratitude for her services to the poor of all religions in India.some words from mother teresa.
Be faithful in small things because it is in them that your strength lies.
Mother Teresa

Being unwanted, unloved, uncared for, forgotten by everybody, I think that is a much greater hunger, a much greater poverty than the person who has nothing to eat.
Mother Teresa

Each one of them is Jesus in disguise.
Mother Teresa

Even the rich are hungry for love, for being cared for, for being wanted, for having someone to call their own.
Mother Teresa

Obama's Rich vs. Poor Divisive Political Agenda Not Helpful

What often gets lost in the divisive political world of left vs. right, Democrats vs. Republicans, liberals vs. conservatives, and especially, the rich vs. the poor is the FACT that many rich people do good things for the poor.

Take the San Diego Food Bank, for instance. It was recently re-named "The Jacobs & Cushman San Diego Food Bank." My family and I have been regular donors to this particular food bank and our church, The Rock Church in San Diego, has done many food drives for donations. However, when the name change came along I wanted to know why it was re-named. I worried that the food bank may have been taken over by a group that wanted to take a cut of the money donated...or something. Well, my fears have been alleviated! The truth is, the San Diego Food Bank was re-named "Jacobs & Cushman" because of the huge donations given by these two rich men.

Excerpt:

The food bank, which hands out over 18 million pounds of food each year, is the county’s largest wholesale supplier to the needy, selling discounted food to charities that distribute it, providing food to people in need, advocating for the hungry and educating the public about hunger-related issues.

At the event on Sunday it was renamed the Jacobs & Cushman San Diego Food Bank to recognize the $1.76 million donation by auto dealer Stephen Cushman and Qualcomm co-founder Irwin Jacobs.

If you can, I would like to encourage readers to donate to this worthy cause.

So, while Barack Obama continues to pit the rich vs. the poor for political reasons, we find out that the generosity of many rich conservatives benefit the poor better than Obama's terrible economic policies!

I could just imagine hearing Barack Obama at a private party these days complaining and saying...'Ohhh those nasty rich people!!! What good are they except for paying more taxes to the government?'

Come to think of it, I don't think I have EVER heard him say anything positive about Americans who donate to such causes. Why is that? All I hear is disparaging comments about "the rich." Many people who aren't necessarily rich donate to such causes. Why don't we hear any good news about this from the White House? Answer: probably because it doesn't fit into Obama's political posturing and demonizing agenda.  It also sheds a huge light upon his failed economic policies and why we are in dire straits concerning jobs here in America.

I also saw a Discussing Food Banks page and decided to include a link to it. See for yourself how many individuals, corporations, churches, communities etc. are contributing millions of pounds of food to the needy. This is the way that it is supposed to be!! Government hand-outs are wasteful and much of the money is often given to the wrong people; like those who bilk taxpayers through fraudulent food stamp claims, unemployment claims, Medicare and Medicaid fraud, Social Security fraud, and money sent to fraudulent recipients...e.g. those who are already dead!

Instead of praising organizations like these, Obama and his ilk demonize the very people who donate and make these food banks and pantries possible for the poor!

Just thought I'd share some charity information and economic truth in the midst of all the yelling and bickering going on in Washington D.C. over the deficit, spending, taxes, and the debt crisis.

Agreeing On Restoring Honor, Faith, Hope, & Charity

Don Koenig of World and Church Trends and Bible Prophecy has a post up about Glenn Beck.

I can tell my readers that I had not heard the following particular statement by Glenn, but here is what Don has written regarding a quote he had obtained from Brannon Howse:

Want to hear the truth about Beck’s own beliefs from his own mouth? According to Brannon Howse Beck said this:

“Last week on his radio program Beck said “I Am That I Am is the most powerful phrase in any language as it is the name of god, never use it in vain; use it to create who you want to be. I AM blank.”

I agree. Beck certainly took that verse out of context. We could chalk it up to misapplication, but when it comes to knowledge about the Mormon religion, perhaps that might the culprit for the misinterpretation.

Nonetheless, I have written a comment in response to Don's post (which is excellent and I encourage you to read it in it's entirety) as to why I think that Bible-based Christian pastors, writers, and apologists should take advantage of Beck's national audience to get The Word of God out to the masses!


Excerpt from Don's post:

It is with mixed feelings that I am writing this post because most of what Glenn Beck says is as American as American pie. Nevertheless, most Christians leaders so love the sugar in the American pie that Beck is dishing out that they are also gobbling down the deadly crust that molds it. When Glenn Beck stays on politics he is pretty good but when he talks about God he is so far off the Christian reservation that he might as will be on planet Kolob (Where Father God of Mormons lives).


First let me once again comment on Mormonism in general. Don’t be confused just because they use the same terminology as Christians. They do not believe the doctrines of Christianity. They just put their own meaning on common Christian terms. For example, don’t confuse God the Father of Christianity with Father God of the Mormons. The Father God of Mormons was once a man just like us that progressed to become a God before us. Don’t confuse Jesus of Christianity with the Mormon Jesus who is the spirit brother of Lucifer and a God in the making like his brother. Don’t confuse the blood atonement of Jesus with the Mormon’s limited atonement that requires you to still work to achieve your godhood. Don’t confuse the Trinity of Christianity with the separate three gods of Mormonism.

My comment there:

I can certainly understand your wariness about Beck because he is a Mormon. However, I disagree with Brannon Howse that Beck is turning evangelical Christians (the Bible-based ones, at least) towards Mormonism.

There were people of different faiths at the rally. There are people of different faiths watching his T.V. show and listening to the radio show. In particular, the huge audience that showed up at the rally were there for the purpose of agreeing with Beck on the need for us all to turn back to our Founding Principles - including faith, hope, and charity. These are three things that all can agree on.

I saw the same kind of caution being discussed in America when the Manhattan Declaration came about and people were being urged to sign on. Some Christians refused (e.g. John MacArthur - a Christian apologist and author whom I greatly admire) and others signed it (e.g. Albert Mohler). I have read a lot of the writings of both men and what they profess agrees with Biblical Christianity. However, they disagreed on the signing of that document. Is one correct and the other wrong to do so?

The Bible states that we are not to place a "stumbling block" in front of others - especially "baby" Christians - so that they veer off in the wrong direction away from the true Gospel of Jesus Christ. Perhaps it is the "baby" Christians that must be warned and cautioned not to equate Mormon belief with Biblical Christianity.

In the case of Beck, the fact that he has given such a HUGE PLATFORM to Christian leaders and pastors on his T.V. show is enough reason (IMHO) to cheer him on. It doesn't meant that people are going to embrace Mormonism. Most Bible-based Christians will not be swayed in that direction. Recall the Bible verse that says:

Mar 13:22 For false Christs and false prophets shall rise, and shall shew signs and wonders, to seduce, if [it were] possible, even the elect.

The "if [it were] possible" clause informs us that it WON'T be done! The elect aren't fooled because they are forever sealed in Christ through the power of the Holy Spirit.

What I am seeing (including my own pastor who will be on Glenn's show this Friday) is a unique show giving Christian leaders a platform with a huge audience to express what they believe and how it all relates to our founding here in America; and how our people need a re-awakening to WORK towards restoring our nation.

I have read comments from other Christians stating that perhaps Glenn might be converted from Mormonism to Biblical Christianity. We can all pray for that, of course. I will admit that it is VERY DIFFICULT to change their minds. Been there, done that at my front door and sitting in my own living room having conversations with young "elders." However, there is always hope.
Pastor Miles McPherson was highly criticized by some evangelical leaders for attending and speaking at a convention for "The Secret" (if I recall correctly, I think that is Oprah's new religion?) Anyway, he stood up there and preached the true gospel of Jesus Christ to the audience and told them something like - 'that's the secret.' Ha! Of course, not every Christian pastor and/or apologist is geared up for such a presentation. It just happens to be one of Pastor Miles' gifts.

I sincerely hope that this political divide forming doesn't break the wonderful message that the Restore Honor rally presented to America on 8/28. That would be a most unfortunate development! Rather, I continue to hope and pray that people will go back to their homes and churches and apply the message that we all can agree on -
America needs to restore honor in our nation and we need to utilize faith, hope and charity in order to do so.

Don, you certainly pointed out the VERY important differences between Mormon belief and genuine Biblical Christianity. I am not trying to downplay your concerns. I just think that it would be a missed opportunity NOT TO TAKE ADVANTAGE of the national audience that Glenn has created via his show. If you think I am wrong - so be it. We will just need to agree to disagree.

In closing, I want to express how much I have appreciated your excellent post here. Because the message of distinction between what Mormons believe vs. Bible-based Christian belief is immensely important, I plan to link to your post today at my blog.

Christine

P.S. There are some Christian bloggers who used to post at my blog, but now do not visit or comment because they obviously don't like that I write about Glenn Beck's show. Some have abandoned my blog because of this. So be it. My blog is involved in both proclaiming the Gospel of Jesus Christ and applying the Word of God to everyday life - including political issues. During the very first God-Blog Conference back in 2004, a professor at Biola U. told me that mixing all of these goals might make for an impossible task. Perhaps, but I keep going anyway. God bless.

Praying for safety and a great event for faith, hope, and charity to shine through despite all of the terrible vitriol that the left is spewing about Glenn Beck's 8/28/10 event - Restoring Honor rally in Washington D.C. this Saturday. I wish I could be there, but family obligations prevent me from attending. I will keep a close eye on the coverage of the event.

I find the criticisms of the rabid left against Glenn Beck, his guests, the distortions of his "reasons" for holding the event and the ugly rhetoric against him for having it at the steps of the Lincoln Memorial on the anniversary of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s great speech there very disturbing, disheartening and quite sad.

Glenn interviewed Alveda King, Dr. Martin Luther King's niece on his show today. I cried throughout the program. How did our country become so messed up and mean spirited? To hear how she is being treated so horribly by the left is disgusting. She appears to be a wonderful, faithful Christian woman who is pro-life and runs an organization encouraging life for the unborn. Of course, she represents everything that the rabid left hates - including being a willing vessel of love for reconciliation between the races and all people.

*******
UPdate:

To watch today's show with guest Alveda King, go here:

Watch Glenn Beck: August 26, 2010 - Restoring Honor

Glenn Beck Show- August 26, 2010


Tonight: Glenn continues from D.C. as less than 40 hours remain until the Restoring Honor Rally. Tonight, Glenn will prepare you and lay out the real message behind the rally (despite what you might have heard in the media). Joining Glenn tonight for a good portion of the program is Dr. Alveda King, niece of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. She has faced an enormous amount of criticism for agreeing to take part in and supporting the rally. We should keep her and all of those who have taken great risks to stand with Glenn in our prayers.

*******
Update 2:

A few weeks ago, I heard that Laura Ingraham may attend the rally on Saturday. I am currently reading her book, "The Obama Diaries" (it is EXCELLENT!) and on pages 324-325 she writes exactly why we need to keep up with the non-violent protests against the radical government agenda being hoisted upon us:

The major premise for tactics is the development of operations that will maintain a constant pressure upon the opposition - Saul Alinsky, Rules for Radicals

It is interesting that the very people who foment the anger in the country, the Democrats, are the ones wailing when the public reacts to their mischief. What did they think was going to happen when they refused to acknowledge the public outcry during the health-care debate?

It is hard to watch the persistent, radical agenda rolling out of this White House, whether it be health-care policy, immigration reform, cap-and-trade legislation, or the endless new taxes being proposed, without thinking that there is some plan underway. They are maliciously provoking a reaction, hoping for a violent response from the people, so they can use it to tarnish all dissent and finally silence criticism of their flawed policies. It is a textbook Saul Alinsky tactic.

Radical leftists thrive in conflict and chaos. In Rules for Radicals, Alinsky writes, "When those prominent in the status quo turn and label you an 'agitator,' they are completely correct, for that is, in one word, your function - to agitate to the point of conflict." In the midst of their premeditated conflicts, these leftists can do incredible damage. They will miss no opportunity to use the self-generated moments of strife to demonize their critics, restrain the people's freedom, and destroy their liberty. Should violence erupt or any social unrest break out as a result of their heinous policies, the liberals will proclaim themselves our protectors, and use the chaos as a justification to claim even greater control over our lives and our freedoms. For this reason, and so many others, violence must always be condemned and rejected, while every peaceful means of resistance should be utilized.

P.S. This blog post is currently listed here on the google blog search list, but I think that as posts on the Restoring Honor rally are added, the page number where it is listed may change.

I read some of the headlines and sentences from other blogs. The left-wing ones are doing EXACTLY what Laura Ingraham describes as the typical Saul Alinsky tactic (see quote and excerpt above in update 2) to cause the demonization of Beck and all who want to attend the event.

Knowing their tactics are a bogus attempt to cause strife and agitation takes the power away from their arguments and condemnation.

*******

Update 3:

I had to go three posts from the bottom of page 3 (at 9:15 a.m. PT) in order to find a blog post that wasn't disparaging the 8/28 Restoring Honor rally. What are these people so afraid of??

Manhattan Declaration & Sovereignty Now

Any Glenn Beck T.V. show fans out there? If you are serious about your Christian faith, you might want to pay attention to what he is reporting.

I know what some Christians reading here might be thinking..."psst...Christine...do you know that Glenn's a Mormon?"

Yes. I know.

Next, they might say, "well, then... how can you side with him or trust him?"

I might answer, "The same way that I trust...let's say...Charles Krauthammer. He is Jewish and doesn't even believe in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, yet I trust what he is saying about important political issues of our time."

When "The Manhattan Declaration" came into being, two prominent Christian pastors/authors (both of whom I admire) came out at odds with each other regarding the decision of whether or not to sign the declaration. John MacArthur was against signing it because he objected to the fact that those of differing faiths were also willing to sign it. He felt that it was a compromise against biblical truth.

However, Albert Mohler did sign it, and he has given a statement exactly why he decided to do so.

Even some of my Christian blogging friends have chosen not to sign it, while others have decided to sign the document. The question remains, is it a compromise for a Christ-following, born-again, Bible believing individual to sign The Manhattan Declaration?

Who should be the judge?

Answer: God is the ultimate judge of all that we do (and don't do) to advance the Kingdom while we are here on this earth.

For me, signing the declaration is a good thing and IMHO, I think that Jesus would approve. You, on the other hand, may disagree with me about that. So be it. It will just have to remain as one of those "agree to disagree" situations among fellow Christian believers.

When I watched Glenn Beck's show on Wednesday [watch full show here], I had tears in my eyes. It was such a wonderful presentation that revealed what we are truly up against as genuine believers in Jesus Christ vs. what the Obama Administration is attempting to "sell us" on.

The "Social Justice" movement that is now openly attaching itself to the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency - which in the world of the ObaMARXIST Islamo-Fascist gangster government we now have here in America), can more realistically be described as the environmental, global warming scam, and cap and trade scheme. It is nothing more than what Arlen at Investigating Obama so aptly entitles it: Obama's Assault on the Church via the EPA.

Excerpt:

In the kind of move forseen last year by Brannon Howse, the Obama administration is attempting to gain a foothold of ministerial (pardon the pun) influence over American churches, this by means of the pagan god, Gaia and the religion of environmentalism. It is to be accomplished through the EPA, a tender thought from souls of the likes of Marxist tacticians, Joel Rogers, Van Jones, and that old fellow sojourner, Jim Wallis. Do we need to care for the earth? Yes, that is among Adam's charges. Do we need the Church to be directed by government, to fulfill the deceitful schemes of thieving profiteers seeking global, Marxofascist governance? I know you can answer that question, too.

Be sure to read the rest here and view the video.

Over on Facebook, Arlen asked:

Arlen Williams:

Now, Christians in all congregations must be informed of this new strategic attack and church leaders must be called out, on it. They must be asked, "Do you support our freedom of religion and the constitutional, equal justice which is the authorized political principle of this land, or do you favor knuckling under to the counterfeit 'social justice' of statist, neo-Marxist rebellion."

That, in a nutshell, describes why people of differing Christian churches are all signing the same declaration. We can all band together to oppose, as Arlen so brilliantly stated,

"the counterfeit 'social justice' of statist, neo-Marxist rebellion."

The comments on the Facebook page are so good that I must include them here for the benefit of all to read:

Darren W Huff:

This "fight" has been going on for centuries. God has set aside a People to be a light to the world; and it has been the pagans who have continually tried to extinguish it. Google "The Georgia Guide stones" if you want to see the rest of their agenda.

Arlen Williams:

Thank you, Darren. In process.

Stephen Pidgeon:

This is so interesting. Satan himself couldn't devise a better plan to hit pastors right in the hypocrisy. For those pastors whose life revolves around "the building campaign" - the mark of the beast is just one move away.

The move to follow the funding is the equal-God commandment, requiring pastors to assert that Jehovah is the same god as allah. It's coming to a sold-out church near you.

Yesterday at 5:51pm

*******

Arlen Williams:

A whole lotta resetting, renewal, and restoration have gotta go on.

Yesterday at 6:23pm

*******

Here's a link to The Georgia Guide stones. I will leave it up to you to decide whether or not you want to "enter" the site if you so desire to learn more. I only needed to read the "ten messages" listed on the front page to know that it's clearly a pagan type of group!

Just the first message on the list of ten reveals their attempt to "play god":

1. Maintain humanity under 500,000,000 in perpetual balance with nature.

So, with the coming election in November, 2010, and then the election in November, 2012, what are some guidelines that can lead Christians to make the right decisions about candidates for office? Arlen has created a list of "Sovereignty Now" questions that each of us should be asking the politicians who are requesting OUR VOTES:

SOVEREIGNTY NOW - Three Critical Questions for ALL Politicians & Candidates

All, tests which the Obamunists fail -- and so do many Republicans.

Please share this with leaders of the electoral action organization and Tea Party entity of your choice.

Please ask politicians and candidates, yourself.

In addition to asking a candidate whether he or she is pro-life, for restoring constitutional government, for cutting budgets and taxes, for protecting our borders, how he interprets the 1st and 2nd Amendments, etc., these questions must be asked our political candidates:

1. Are you a member of any organization supporting the ends of globalism, transnationalism, communitarianism, or U.N. Agenda 21 defined "sustainable development," or have you received money, or services, or other favors from any of these?

2. Do you pledge to uphold America's individual popular sovereignty, parental sovereignty, the sovereignty of the states, and our national sovereignty, against every internal and external threat, according to our Constitution and our Declaration of Independence?

3. Do you pledge to support and not undermine the sovereignty of other free and benign nations, for example, an unified Israel, in its present borders, with its capital Jerusalem?

Ask them all, now. Then, hold them accountable. - AW

I encourage all who read this to pass it on to others!

Powerful Show on Beck Yesterday

Glenn Beck's T.V. show yesterday had to be one of the most powerful and defining moments in the history of television. I am not kidding! Glenn's guests for the evening were awesome - especially Dr. Alveda King - the niece of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. who is a pro-life activist.

When I read the above article about Dr. Alveda King, I could not help but wonder if she was badly torn in her decision to vote for the first African-American presidential nominee, or, because she knew that he is a staunch pro-abortion minded candidate she could not in good conscience pull the lever in the voting booth for a candidate that has a 98% approval rating with pro-abortion organizations? I wonder how she voted. I also wonder that if she did vote for Obama, if she deeply regrets it now (as do millions of other Americans who were duped by his lies during the campaign).

Dr. King states in this article:

"Abortion is founded upon, maintained by and promoted with lies," said Dr. King, niece of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. "There are so many lies surrounding the case of this young girl, it`s hard to know where to begin. Obviously, there`s the falsehood of the boyfriend`s mother pretending to be the pregnant girl`s mother, the fraud of the boyfriend`s mother illegally signing a parental notification form, and the deception of the girl`s unknowing parents, who never knew their grandchild existed until it was too late. Most of all, there`s the lie that the child who was killed by abortion was not really a child."

"I pray for the young girl who was forced to abort her baby. I want her to know that there is healing, just as I have been healed from my own two abortions," added Dr. King. "I pray for the mother of the girl`s boyfriend who now sits in jail for her illegal actions. May she come to understand that her actions caused many people a lot of pain. And I also pray for the people who work in abortion clinics who are both victims and proponents of the lies of `choice.` They need to see that prenatal murder is an affront to justice everywhere. May the Lord have mercy on us all."

The most powerful sentence in that quote:

"They need to see that prenatal murder is an affront to justice everywhere."

Amen!!!

Back to the show.

The combination of Dr. Alveda King, Ted Nugent, and Princeton University Professor Robert George appeared to be a bit odd at first, but as the discussion progressed we saw what these four people (including Glenn) all had in common. The first obvious thing to notice was agreement in faith in God. The second? Agreement in true, real hope. And the third? LOVE. Love and charity go together because if you love your fellow man, you will WANT to be charitable to them.

I can't help but wonder what ObaMARXIST and his cohorts thought about Dr. King's appearance on Beck's show. Wouldn't you have loved to be a fly on the wall in Obama's "we hate Glenn Beck" war room?

2009 Mutt Strut Bleg

My wife has informed me that I will be participating in the 2009 Mutt Strut, March 7, 2009 @ 8 AM. We've joined the Cork Cafe team because...well...we enjoy drinking wine there.

I seem to remember volunteering for this a while ago, one of those things happening way in the future that I agreed to without really thinking about it. Oh well, at least I get a t-shirt out of the deal.


As you might have guessed....here comes the bleg.

I've been assigned a fund-raising goal of $250.00 by the computer system. My personal donation to the cause was an initial $25.00 so that means I have $225.00 left to go before I hit my goal. That's 45 people making a one-time (tax deductible) donation of $5 a piece. I'm averaging over 200 readers per day on this blog.

In order to assuage your fears about the money not being put to its specific use (which has been rumored to happen from time to time) I'm providing a direct link to my personal donation page on the SPCA website here:

My Mutt Strut page.

Just click on "Support Cory!" and the system will walk you through the donation process. You can donate any amount you want, from a penny on up. I'm requesting at least $5 per person to make it easy. Dog's like Sly will thank you for it.


All donations are greatly appreciated, just please give what's comfortable in order to help the Houston SPCA and the animals that are housed there.
