What You Need
to Know About
the Obama Nationalization of Our Health Care
From Liberty Counsel

     We here at Liberty Counsel recently saw an overview of the healthcare bill being debated in Congress (HR 3200). We found the overview so alarming that we doubted its accuracy, so the staff in our D.C. office compared it to the voluminous bill.
    What they found astonished us so much that we had to share it. You can also read the text of HR 3200 directly from a government website to see for yourself how dangerous this government healthcare takeover would be. The site is http://frwebgate.access.gpo.gov/cgi-bin/getdoc.cgi?dbname=111_
cong_bills&docid=f:h3200ih.txt.pdf.
    Of course, it is not enough to be alarmed and do nothing! Congress is in recess but you can be assured that the liberals behind this bill will not be at rest. They will hold public meetings and try to convince their constituents that government health care is the only option.
    It is time to visit the Senators and Representatives in their local offices in your state. Take copies of our document on HR 3200 with you so they can understand your concerns.

The Most Important Article of Our Times
By Pastor Rick Owsley

     “Dad, I just can’t stand to watch the news any longer.  It is too discouraging, too depressing, and just too frightening.”  This statement by my grown daughter expresses the sentiment of thousands, perhaps even millions of people in the USA today.
    It seems as if all common sense has been abandoned by our government and those in authority and replaced with a frenzied effort to establish a ‘Nanny State.’  Without a doubt, a Socialist-Fascist agenda is being steam rolled over our free market system and we seem totally incapable of stopping it.  At least not until 2010!
    We live in trying times; perhaps even ‘perilous times.’  If you listen to the news media or any of the right or left-wing blogs, we are in grave peril.  And if the health care antics, the stimulus fiasco, or corporations being taken over by our government is not enough to cause serious concern, then just listen to what all I heard just this week alone.  I ‘learned’ that the Federal Reserve system is suppose to crash this month; all banks are to be nationalized; Israel will bomb Iran; Swine flu vaccines will be made mandatory and if you refuse, you will be exterminated; and a new World Banking system has been established thanks to the G20 Summit.  And on and on it goes.  It is nearly impossible to separate fact from fiction in today’s frightened world.
    My purpose in mentioning these stories is not to give credence to or debunk any of these reports, but to demonstrate just how scared and angry people are.  The ‘changes’ that are sweeping this great land have serious and long term ramifications and people are genuinely concerned about their futures and their children’s future.
    I write this article to encourage the “redeemed of the Lord” in these times and assure you that our future and lives are in God’s care.  We can all therefore declare, “The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me” (Hebrews 13:6).
    What should be the attitude of a “Child of God” as we face the major challenges before us?  Do we head for the hills?  Do we throw up our hands in despair?  Or, do we put on the “whole armor of God” and take a stand for Truth and righteousness -- regardless of the cost?  Why not look upon these times as a wonderful opportunity for the Church of the Living God to “shine as a bright light” in a dark and dangerous world.
    Let me remind you Christian, that our “riches in Christ” are not temporal, nor are they in peril of being lost!  Our ‘hope’ is not based upon the whims or cunning devices of power-grabbing politicians, but in the Lord Jesus Christ.  His righteous plan and purpose for our lives will not be thwarted by the outrageous schemes of man.  Regardless of the turbulent and dangerous times in which we find ourselves, the truth is, “God has not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind” (2 Timothy 1:7).
