You Have Heard the Gospel

You have heard the Gospel with pleasure. "Heard it!" You say, "I heard it when a little child." Your mother brought you to the house of God in her arms. You have heard it and still hear it, though it is rather like an old song to you: but is this to be all? I am very grateful that you do hear the Gospel, for I hope that one of these days God may cause it to grow in you and yield fruit. But still a grave responsibility is upon you. Think how favored you have been! How will you answer for this privilege if it is neglected and rendered useless by that neglect? Dear hearers, if we lived in the heart of Africa and we died without believing in a Christ of whom we had not heard, we could not be blamed for that. But here we are in the heart of London where the Gospel is preached in all our streets, and our blood will be on our own heads if we perish. Do you mean to go down to hell? Are you so desperate that you will go there wearing the garb of Christians? If you do persist ruining your souls, my eyes shall follow you with tears; and when I cannot warn you any longer, I will weep in secret places because of your perversity.
  ~ Charles Spurgeon

Health Care Reform

Now that the Senate has passed their version of the bill, (different then the one that was handed to them) those of us that still can't afford or don't want to spend the money on health care; jail would be the just punishment.

How's that 'Hope and Change' working for you?

An American, and Englishman and a Russian all die and go to hell. While there, they spy a red phone and ask what the phone is for. The devil tells them it is for calling back to Earth. The Russian asks to call Russia and talks for 5 minutes. When he was finished the devil informs him that the cost is a million dollars, so he writes him a check.

Next the Englishman calls England and talks for 30 minutes. When they are finished the devil informs them that cost is 6 million dollars, so he writes him a check. Finally the American gets his turn and talks for 4 hours. When he was finished the devil informed him that there would be no charge for the call and feel free to call the US anytime.

When the Russian hears this he goes ballistic and asks the devil why the American got to call the US free. The devil replied, "Since Obama became president of the US , the country has gone to hell, so naturally it's a local call."
