From The Christian Portal

Our web site went down. They were THREE different web sites linked tenuously together, and oddly enough, ALL THREE went down at the same time. As a result, we had a little time to kill today at 'The Buck Stops Here' headquarters. The following was gathered from Politico, MSNBC's The Rachel Maddow Show, The Christian Portal (Shout out), and the web site for the very religious Sarah Palin's Wasilla Bible Church. Let me introduce you...

The faith journey of Sarah Palin is that of a 'Bible-believing Christian.'

The explicitly nondenominational Wasilla Bible Church was started more than 30 years ago by a small group of families. The word "Bible" was included in the church's name to reflect the Scripture's centrality in the lives of Christians, says pastor Larry Kroon. In interpreting the Bible, he says, "we try to get at the author's intent" by considering the text as well as its history and structure. (Really? Interpreting the Torah? Now, that's a jewish to do, isn't it?) Sarah Palin was quoted as saying to the The Weekly Standard who reports that Reporters ask whether Palin has ever spoken in tongues. Her spokeswoman has said that Palin doesn't consider herself a Pentecostal. (I guess speaking in tongues is just a Pentecostal thing. Who knew?) A friend of Palin's told the New York Times that her family left Wasilla Assembly of God for Wasilla Bible in part because the latter's ministry was "less extreme." Exactly what Palin may have found "extreme" at Wasilla Assembly of God is unclear.

In any case, Palin retains an evident affection for Wasilla Assembly of God, as does the church for her. So much, they kept a record.

Rachel Maddow Show with video of Palin's Fairy Godmother praying that Christians take the banking industry from the Jewish Israelites: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d7-qzz8_7RE God's judgement on the Jews, for not believing in Christ, is well documented (downloadable in MP3 form, in fact) in a sermon by David Brickner at Wasilla Bible Church from August 17th, 2008. That's right. This year. Hear the sermon yourself at: http://wasillabible.org/sermons.htm They explain clearly why "God called for the destruction of Israel, and why it's important that Jews accept this reality and ask God for forgiveness". The sermon, popularly known as "The Jerusalem Dilemma," covers how "stiff-necked jews practice a great deal of mysticism within the Jew's Israeli communities found in the Upper Galilee area". The preparation for the campaign to fight this behavior was presented as "well under way and part of an overall 6 year program". One of their young bible christians, Isaac, reports on the status of the evangelistic campaign and this one young man's recent trip to Israel. This church's second crusade ministry will "include the areas of Tiberius and Svatz" (spelling?). They are focusing on those cities because they "have found a bedrock of mysticism and occult behaviors among the Jewish community there." He described the seminars that were held during the first year's crusade "to work with the non believing Jews," and how it was really "helping him deal with his own non believing Jewish family." The Bible Church's presentation added that "it was important for this mission to be enacted corporately as well as individually" and that by converting these Jews "there would be alot of opportunity." (What does that mean?) They discuss how to equip the youth of the Church to "minister to Jews, share the gospel, and get those The Jews to accept Jesus as their Lord and Savior." According to church's pastor "God had to book Brickner for this speech three (3) years ahead of time because his schedule was that full". Hmmmm.God bless technology.

Shout out to my mother, who like the teacher Sarah mentioned during the Vice Presidential debate, also taught 3rd grade elementary school. Except she taught it in Compton, and as a child, many, many years ago, I marched with her in protest, like people did in the 60's, during the well documented Compton Union Teacher's Strike. I don't know if it could be found, but I showed up on the front of the Los Angeles Times, carrying the little sign that read, "Power To The Children." -- True Story (of course my mother keeps her computer in the box it came in because she doesn't want it to get dusty, so she'll probably never see this. Love you, Mom.)
