U.N. Un-American

U.N. UN-necessary

By Steven E. Masone

North Korea launches another missile in a provocative move last week and the United Nations Security Council does nothing. No sanctions, no action. The world wants the U.S. to be the world cops, but will not provide through the U.N. the political muscle or a united front to send a clear message to rogue states like North Korea.

In Iraq the U.S. had to unilaterally form the coalition after 17 violations of U.N.…

Two Party Plight
By Steven E. Masone

Americans understand that the two major political Parties, Democrat and Republican control our political process. While many have forgotten that there are fourteen official registered Parties including the aforementioned, whereas the lesser twelve are toothless if not irrelevant.

However, many of these political organization's idea's and platforms deserve our consideration if we were so inclined to care that better idea's are…

PANDORA'S BOX

Pandora's Box
By Steven E. Masone

If history repeats itself, we are in big trouble. Because of the industrial age, nations like Germany were able to mobilize their population to get in the arms race which they then utilized propaganda and promises of god-hood to cause entire peoples to become drunk with visions of power and grandeur.

While we understand there were other financial and political forces behind much of the World Wars, once the juggernaut got out of the…

The far left loonies promote their rantings that the Corporate monster of Capitalism has a strangle hold on the poor and downtrodden . The far right whacko's cry that the Illuminati and the Bildibergers-Rothschild's evil axis has taken over, and in between the space aliens, reincarnated evil entities and such like abound…

The Pendulum Effect

The Pendulum Effect
By Steven E. Masone

The downside of our two party system has been apparent for decades. When we have leftist ideology overbalanced too far that way and an overbalance to the right is inevitable, and vice verse.
When will the "Moderate Majority" wake up and break away from both Democrats and Republicans? A true moderate model for this party needs to begin with social, economic, penal justice and foreign policy re-evaluation. With focus on forecasting much… Continue

Separation of Politics and Religion?
By Steven E. Masone

Politics and Religion have always been the breeding ground of volatile and zealous emotions that often lead to regrettable actions and behavior. America was founded by individuals who came here largely to find freedom of Religion and freedom from State/Church politics. In this country you can serve any god or no god.

Last week a 17 year old Muslim girl in… Continue

"As the World Turns...left."
By Steven E. Masone

The awarding of the "Nobel Peace Prize" prematurely to President
Obama, for what he intends to do, not only is an obvious attempt by
the socialist's who comprise the committee to help Obama's prestige
and world standing, it has cheapened the Award almost as much as they
did when Al Gore won it. One pundit pointed out that, "They really
awarded it to show how much they disliked the previous administration… Continue

Enter...

Matt 7: 13 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:

14:Because strait is the gate and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.

Grk word for "strait" means narrow.

So the gate to life is narrow and the word tells us few there be that finds it.

Gate, of course is an entrance.... a door a way and we know that Jesus is…

Is the Apostolic Movement going the way of the "Kings of Israel?"

The history of the Kings of Israel with their infighting and divisions is more prophetic than most realize. The people wanted a King, who would rule over them for protection and unification. The fact that they wanted to be like the rest of the nations, is very telling for us if we will look closely.

Our organizations which began to break off of the original unity of Apostolic believers over carnal and non-salvational issues is a reproach to the Name of Jesus. The first…
