EARLY ART?

"Mankind’s Golden Stone of Destiny”
"To the untrained eye, it looks like a small stone. Even to the trained eye,
it looks like nothing more than a lump of orange volcanic ash just over
an inch long. But when Francesco D’Errico, a skeptical archeologist, scanned
it under a high-powered optical microscope, he found to his astonishment
that it might just be the world’s oldest known work of art. The Berekhat
ram figurine, as it is called, is about to trigger a fierce debate about
the origins of man.”
London Sunday Times

AND WHY NOT?
YOU THINK YOURSELVES SO WISE,
EVOLUTIONISTS, TO BELIEVE THAT YOU
KNOW FOR CERTAIN WHEN MAN ACQUIRED
EACH OF HIS ABILITIES IN EACH AREA
"HE WAS CAPABLE OF THIS AT THIS STAGE OF EVOLUTION"
AND SO ON AND SO ON . . .
YOU ARE FOOLS
EVEN YOUR DATING DEVISES ARE NOT ACCURATE
FOR WHICH YOU BASE SO MUCH OF YOUR SCIENTIFIC STUDY
YOU HAVE EQUIPMENT TO BACK-UP YOUR BELIEFS AND THAT IS ALL
YOU CAN FOOL SOME OF THE PEOPLE SOME OF THE TIME
BUT FOR THE PEOPLE WHO TRULY BELIEVE THAT MAN
WAS MADE IN MY IMAGE
THEY HAVE NO DOUBT THAT MAN CAME TO THIS EARTH FULLY EQUIPPED
INTELLECTUALLY
EMOTIONALLY
ARTISTICALLY
SPIRITUALLY
YOU CAN EXAMINE LITTLE ARTIFACTS UNTIL THIS AGE PASSES
BUT YOUR FINDINGS WILL NEVER BACK-UP YOUR BELIEFS
THERE ARE MANY MORE SURPRISES TO COME
AS I HAVE PROMISED
EDITORIAL #37

BELIEVE ME . . .
       THE CREATOR

I REMEMBER WELL WHEN I CREATED YOUNG ADAM
I REMEMBER HIS SMILE, HIS BRIGHTNESS, HIS WAYS
HE WAS CURIOUS, OH, SO CURIOUS
AND WILLING AND ANXIOUS TO WALK BY MY SIDE AND LISTEN
HE NEVER WALKED ON ALL FOURS AS THE ANIMALS DO
HE WAS MADE DIFFERENT THAN THE ANIMALS
HE WAS MADE AS A MAN TO STAND UPRIGHT
AND RULE OVER THIS EARTH
BUT AS THE DAYS WENT BY
AND THE DAYS TURNED TO YEARS AND EVEN UNTO CENTURIES
MAN BEGAN TO THINK THAT SURELY THERE
MUST NOT BE A GOD IN CHARGE OF ALL OF THIS
SURELY, WE HAVE DEVELOPED AND EVOLVED
UNTO OURSELVES AS PEOPLE
ALWAYS CHANGING
ALWAYS IMPROVING
ALWAYS DEVELOPING
BUT IT IS SURELY A SAD STORY ABOUT MAN
WHO BEGAN WITH SUCH INTELLIGENCE GIVEN TO HIM
BY THE CREATOR
TO "EVOLVE" INTO MEN WHO CRAWL
UPON ALL FOUR'S TO FIND LITTLE ARTIFACTS TO BACK-UP
THEIR OWN THEORY OF EVOLUTION

STAND TALL, MANKIND
YOU WERE NOT MADE AND DEVELOPED FROM ANIMALS
BUT YOU WERE CREATED IN MY IMAGE
FLESH OF MY FLESH
SOUL OF MY SOUL
HEART OF MY HEART
ASK ME HOW TO RETURN YOU TO THAT
MARVELOUS IMAGE
AND THEN YOU WILL HAVE NO MORE NEED TO CRAWL
AND CLASSIFY
AND CREATE
THEORIES TO PROVE THAT YOU ARE BRIGHT

HOW FAST CAN YOU REMOVE THE MONEY?
THE BANK

"Rates to Rise Again as Consumer Spending Soars”
"You’d have to go back a very long time . . . to find a combination of circumstances as good as this.”
London Sunday Times

ARE YOU PROSPERING, PEOPLE?
THESE ARE SURELY GOOD TIMES FOR MOST
IN AFFLUENT COUNTRIES
THESE ARE THE TIMES TO ACQUIRE AND ACQUIRE AND ACQUIRE
WHAT ARE YOUR TASTES?
DO YOU SPEND THE EXTRA MONEY ON MORE
HOUSES, OR TRAVEL, OR CLOTHES OR CARS?
THE CHOICE IS SURELY YOURS
BUT I ADVISE YOU TO CHOOSE WISELY
FOR ONE DAY AND ONE DAY SOON
THE OUTLOOK WON'T BE SO OPTIMISTIC
IT LOOKS AS THOUGH THE TREND CAN CONTINUE ON . . .
BUT WILL IT?
IF YOU GIVE A SMALL CHILD A LOT OF MONEY,
WHAT WILL HE DO WITH IT?
ALL THAT YOU SPEND YOUR MONEY ON SHOWS WHO
YOU TRULY BELONG TO
IT IS PART OF MY TESTING SYSTEM
AND IT SERVES A VERY GOOD PURPOSE
BUT AS THE DAYS GO BY AND THE TESTING BECOMES COMPLETE
I WILL PULL THE PLUG FROM THE "PIGGY BANK"
AND ALL THE MONEY WILL DROP OUT OF SIGHT
IT WILL HAPPEN WHEN YOU LEAST EXPECT IT
IT WILL HAPPEN BEFORE YOU CAN CASH IN YOUR STOCK
IT WILL HAPPEN BEFORE YOU CAN PULL YOUR MONEY
FROM THE MONEY HOLDERS
IT WILL HAPPEN!

HOW CAN YOU PREPARE YOURSELF
FOR SUCH A DAY AS THIS?
HOW CAN YOU MAKE SURE
THAT YOUR MONEY IS SAFE AND SECURE AND WILL BE THERE
WHEN YOU NEED IT TO CONTINUE TO PAY FOR
AND KEEP UP ALL THAT YOU HAVE ACQUIRED?
YOU CAN'T
THAT IS THE IRONY OF IT ALL
A PERSON OF TRUE FAITH IN ME; HOWEVER,
HAS ALREADY DESIGNATED HIS MONEY
* ALL OF IT - NOT JUST A TITHE *
AS MY PROPERTY - MY HOLDING
AND UNTO HIM WILL THE RICHES CONTINUE TO FLOW

IT'S ALL A MATTER OF
WHO
HOLDS THE MONEY

"PHONY BALONEY”
CALIFORNIA

"God works in mysterious ways --- at least as far as some Californians
are concerned. Supporters of the family Christian church, a local revivalist group, believe in divine dentistry: the sudden appearance of gold teeth
in the mouth. Rich Oliver, a Pastor, recently showed a reporter a glistening crown that he said the Lord had miraculously given him last March. Oliver
had not reckoned with journalistic skepticism. The reporter came back
with dental records showing that the crown had been fitted in 1991
by the hand of Oliver’s dentist --- rather than that of God.”
London Sunday Times

WHO RECEIVED THE GLORY ON THIS ONE?
CERTAINLY NOT I
WHAT IS GOING ON, PEOPLE, THAT YOU HAVE TO LIE
TO MAKE IT LOOK AS IF
I AM ALIVE?
IF YOU TRULY KNEW ME
AND KNEW MY WORD
AND KNEW MY HEART
YOU WOULD NEVER BE ABLE TO LIE IN MY NAME
AND FOR MY CAUSE

AS THE WORLD LAUGHS AT "CHRISTIANS"
PLEASE REMEMBER THAT YOU ASKED FOR IT
IF YOU LIVED YOUR LIFE TO GLORIFY ME,
YOU WOULD NOT HAVE TO SPOUT
YOUR OWN GLORY AND SPEAK OF CROWNS AND THE LIKE
YOUR FOCUS WOULD BE ON ME AND PLEASING ME
NOT TRYING TO PROVE TO THE WORLD THAT I AM ALIVE
SHAME FILLS MY HEART WHEN I SEE AND HEAR OF THOSE WHO GLAMORIZE
AND SENSATIONALIZE THE WORKS OF MY HAND
I TELL YOU THE TRUTH
THE WORLD WILL KNOW MY TOUCH IN THESE LAST DAYS
THERE WILL BE NO DOUBT
FOR EVEN IN THESE TIMES THERE ARE FALSE CHRISTS
AND THE DEMON WORLD IS BUSY WITH FALSE IMAGES
TO BRING PEOPLE TO THE DARKNESS OF THE "ANGEL OF LIGHT"
THERE ARE FALSE MESSAGES SPOKEN
THERE ARE FALSE VISIONS SEEN
THERE ARE FALSE MANIFESTATIONS PRODUCED
BUT MY PEOPLE
WILL KNOW MY WORK OF LOVE
WILL KNOW MY WORK OF ART
WILL KNOW MY WORK OF SOVEREIGN DISPLAY
BECAUSE THEY KNOW ME

DON'T TRY TO FOOL THE WORLD, "CHRISTIANS"
YOU'RE ONLY FOOLING YOURSELVES

BAD BUSINESS
THE CHURCH OF ENGLAND

"The Church of England is facing its most severe financial crisis,
according to internal budget documents . . . ”
London Sunday Times

NO SURPRISE
A BUSINESS IS A BUSINESS
AND WHEN YOU DON'T PROVIDE FOR YOUR CLIENTELE
YOUR BOTTOM-LINE SUFFERS
NOW, CHURCH, JUST WHAT DO YOU SELL?
WHAT IS IT THAT PEOPLE CAN BUY FROM YOU THAT THEY SHOULD
BRING THEIR MONEY INTO YOUR BUSINESS?
CAN YOU TRULY SELL INDULGENCES TO THE INTELLIGENT?
CAN YOU SELL YOUR THEORIES OF THEOLOGY
TO THOSE WHO NOW READ
THE WORD OF GOD AND KNOW THAT YOU HAVE CREATED
ALL YOUR OWN RULES OF ATONEMENT?
JUST WHAT ARE YOU SELLING?
A BUSINESS IS A BUSINESS
AND YOU'D BETTER FIND OUT HOW TO IMPROVE
YOUR BOTTOM-LINE

TRULY IF I WAS GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY TO BRING FORTH
"CHURCH - MY WAY"
THIS IS WHAT I WOULD PROPOSE
BUT YOU SEE, THE "CHURCH" OF TODAY WILL NOT EMBRACE IT
BECAUSE I GIVE THE MONEY AWAY
INSTEAD OF TAKING IT FROM THE PEOPLE

A BUSINESS IS A BUSINESS
BUT REMEMBER THIS:
THE POORLY RUN BUSINESSES WILL NOT LAST
FINANCES ARE A "FUNNY THING"
YOU WILL SURELY FIND IN THESE END-TIMES
THAT I HOLD THE MONEY
AND I GIVE TO THOSE WHO I CHOOSE
MANY A CHURCH WILL CLOSE DOWN IN THESE END-TIMES
CHURCHES OF ALL DENOMINATIONS
CHURCHES WHICH TOOK MONEY FROM THE PEOPLE AND SPENT
IT ACCORDING TO THE LEADERSHIP'S WHIMS
AND NOT MY ORDERS
IF YOU HAVE BEEN DISOBEDIENT
WITH WHAT I HAVE GIVEN YOU THUS FAR
ALL THAT YOU HAVE WILL BE TAKEN FROM YOU
AND YOU WILL RECEIVE NO MORE
IT'S A SIGN OF THE TIMES
THE SEVEN SEALS - SEAL #3
IT WILL PROVE WHICH CHURCHES ARE MINE
AND WHICH ARE NOT

WHO ARE YOU?
DRUGS

"A grumpy parrot that ripped up furniture has been prescribed Prozac
by a vet in Cardiff to curb its temper tantrums.”
London Sunday Times

"Rising Death Toll of Drugs Revealed”
"Up to 12,000 people a year --- 32 every day --- are dying drug-related
deaths, a government report is set to reveal.”
London Sunday Times

THIS IS TRULY THE AGE OF DRUGS
THE AGE OF "MAKE ME FEEL GOOD" NO MATTER WHAT
CHILDREN ATTENDING SCHOOL ARE GIVEN DRUGS
TO CALM THEM DOWN
YOUNG ADULTS ARE GIVEN DRUGS TO WAKE THEM UP
SO THEY CAN STUDY
ADULTS ARE GIVEN DRUGS SO THEY CAN COPE
AT WORK AND AT HOME WITH STRESS
IT IS A DRUG-FILLED SOCIETY
AND WHY SHOULDN'T YOU ALSO GIVE THESE PARCELS OF "GOODNESS"
TO YOUR PETS TO BE ABLE TO CONTROL THEM BETTER?
DID YOU NOTICE THE WORD "CONTROL"?
ALL THE DRUGS DO IS CONTROL A PORTION OF YOUR BRAIN
TO MAKE YOU ABLE TO "FIT IN"
WHAT DOES THAT TELL YOU ABOUT TODAY'S SOCIETY?
IS IT A SOCIETY THAT REAPS CONTENTMENT AND PEACE?
DOES THIS SOCIETY BRING FORTH THE BEST IN PEOPLE
OR ARE PEOPLE DRUGGING THEMSELVES
EVEN ACCIDENTALLY UNTO DEATH
JUST TO "MAKE IT"?
SOMETHING IS WRONG WHEN ALL MUST BE CONTROLLED
TO EVEN SURVIVE
YOU HAVE TAKEN YOUR INDEPENDENCE FROM ME
SO FAR THAT YOU HAVE LOST ALL BENEFITS OF BEING ONE OF MINE
I CREATED MAN IN MY IMAGE
TO LIVE
TO BREATHE
TO CREATE
TO ENJOY
TO LAUGH
TO CRY

BUT WHEN YOU ARE DRUGGED
YOU ARE NO LONGER IN MY IMAGE
YOU ARE IN THE IMAGE OF THE DRUG ITSELF
YOU HAVE LOST YOUR IDENTITY
YOU HAVE LOST YOUR HEREDITY
YOU HAVE LOST ME
DRUGS ARE THE EASY WAY OUT
THEY ARE THE WAY THIS WORLD HAS CHOSEN
TO LIVE WITH ITS SINFUL CHOICES
BUT I TELL YOU THE TRUTH
THE DRUGS WILL TURN ON YOU
JUST AS SATAN BRINGS YOU A "DOSE OF CONTENTMENT"
HE WILL ALSO MAKE YOU PAY THE FULL PRICE
YOU HAVE A CHOICE
BUT IT IS NOT AN EASY ONE
PEOPLE OF TODAY WANT AN EASY, QUICK SOLUTION TO EVERYTHING
BUT IN THE EASE AND QUICKNESS WILL COME THE DEATH
OF WHO YOU ARE AND WHO I CREATED YOU TO BE
CHOOSE LIFE - CHOOSE ME
FORSAKE THE DRUGS
D-DOWN
   R-RUINED
  U-UNDER
     G-GROUND
S-SOLID

WITH DRUGS YOU ARE DIGGING YOUR OWN GRAVE SOLIDLY
BENEATH THE SOIL
YOU MAY NOT BE PHYSICALLY DEAD YET
BUT IT WILL BE JUST AS IF YOU WERE
FOR UNTO YOU IS LOST
THE CHILD WITHIN

TED TURNER
THE CHALLENGE!!!

"Ted Turner, already the nation’s largest private land owner, has added
3,620 acres of forests, rolling hills and wetlands to his holdings in the
Florida panhandle. Says he intends to preserve the property.”
The Oregonian

HEY, TED!
HOW DOES IT FEEL TO OWN SO MUCH LAND?
IT'S LIKE HAVING A "PIECE OF THE ROCK"
THERE ISN'T THAT MUCH IN THIS WORLD
THAT YOU HAVEN'T CONQUERED
YOU ARE A MAN OF BRILLIANCE AND EXCELLENCE
BUT AS YOU CONTINUE IN THIS LIFE YOU WILL FIND
THAT THERE WILL BE VERY LITTLE THAT WILL
HOLD YOUR ATTENTION
FOR VERY LONG
YOU HAVE HAD THE BEST OF EVERYTHING
AND UNTO YOU IS DUE A NEW CHALLENGE
DON'T YOU THINK SO?
I WILL PROVIDE ONE FOR YOU
I WILL SURELY MEET YOU IN YOUR DREAMS
AND GIVE YOU A PLAN
A PLAN SO MARVELOUS THAT IT WILL HOLD YOUR ATTENTION
FOR A LONG, LONG TIME
FOR YOU SEE IT WON'T BE SOMETHING THAT IS
BIRTHED AND PLANNED HERE ON EARTH
WITH THE LIMITED MINDS OF HUMANS
BUT IT WILL BE SOMETHING WHICH I HAVE DESIGNED
PERSONALLY DESIGNED JUST FOR YOU
I KNOW YOUR FEELINGS TOWARD ME
BUT YOU TRULY DON'T KNOW ME AS I AM
GIVE IT A TRY
COME AND TALK TO ME
I PROMISE - I'LL TRY NOT TO ACT "RELIGIOUS"
I'M REALLY A LOT LIKE YOU IN MANY WAYS
YOU HAVE ONLY SEEN THOSE WHO BRING FORTH
THE RULES OF THEIR CHOICES IN RELIGION
YOU HAVEN'T MET THE ONE THAT GOES BEYOND
EVERY SINGLE RULE
COME ON
TAKE THE CHALLENGE!
YOU WILL
SOONER OR LATER
IS THAT A SMILE I SEE?
COME ON
YOU WILL FINALLY MEET YOUR MATCH
CHALLENGE ME
BY COMING

AND SO I SEE A MAN
A PAUPER, BUT ONE WHO OWNS SO MUCH
I SEE HIM COME AND HE IS WELL-DRESSED AND CONFIDENT
THAT I AM SOME MEAGER, DEMEANING, PREPPY GOD
YOU ARE IN FOR A SURPRISE
COME AND LET ME FILL YOU
WITH THE RICHES OF THE KINGDOM
BUT DON'T WORRY
YOU WON'T BECOME LIKE THOSE
WHO HAVE BITTERED YOU AGAINST ME
NO, YOU WILL BE OF THE "NEW BREED"
SHOW THE WORLD WHAT I'M REALLY LIKE, TED
GET TO KNOW ME
AND THEN SHOW THE WORLD BY WHAT YOU DO
NOT BY WORDS SPOKEN
THAT I AM POWERFUL AND RICH AND LOVING AND EXTRAVAGANT
AND CHALLENGING
I REST MY CASE
WAITING FOR YOU . . . ALWAYS

STORM OR REFUGE?
SUNNYSIDE METHODIST CHURCH

"Portland Church at Center of Gathering Storm”
"What started almost two years ago as a neighborhood vs. church spat
over a meals program for the homeless has evolved into a church vs. state controversy centered on the first amendment. On Sunday, outraged and worried religious leaders from around Portland will meet to address
growing concerns about a recent decision limiting attendance at a
Southeast Portland church.”
The Oregonian

AND THE PEOPLE CAME AND WERE TURNED AWAY
THE LAW SAYS THAT ONLY 70 MAY ATTEND THIS DAY
BUT THE CHURCH WILL HOLD 400
"THERE'S NOTHING WE CAN DO ABOUT IT - IT'S THE LAW"
AND SO YOU HAVE A CASE OF THE PEOPLE VS. THE STATE
YOUR RIGHTS ARE VIOLATED AND YOU STAND UP IN FASHION
IN FACT, MANY OF LIKE FAITH JOIN WITH YOU
TO FIGHT THIS FIGHT
AND DID I NOT SAY THAT I WOULD BRING A STORM
THAT WILL BRING MY PEOPLE TOGETHER?
THIS IS JUST ONE SMALL INCIDENCE
ALMOST IN THE FORM OF SYMBOLISM
BUT IT PROVES THE POINT
WHEN MY CHURCH IS PERSECUTED
THEN THEY WAKE UP AND BEGIN TO FIGHT
WHEN MY CHURCH IS TOLD THAT IT CANNOT DO SOMETHING
IT COMES ALIVE AND MAKES THINGS HAPPEN
DO NOT THINK THAT THIS RULING IS A "BAD THING," IN ITSELF
FOR LOOK AT THE GOOD IT HAS ALREADY PRODUCED
BUT DON'T LET IT STOP WITH ONE ACT FOR ONE CHURCH
GET BUSY
BRING MORE HOMELESS INTO MORE CHURCHES
FEED MORE HUNGRY
CREATE MORE OPPORTUNITY TO BE MY PEOPLE IN THIS WORLD
THIS IS NOT A STOPPING POINT
BUT AN ADVANCE
IF YOU WILL TAKE IT AND RUN
MY CHURCH WAS NEVER MEANT TO BE A STAGNANT
AND "SITTING" PLACE
IF YOU CANNOT HOLD THE PEOPLE WITHIN
HAVE THE PEOPLE MEET OUTSIDE
HAVE THE PEOPLE CIRCLE THE NEIGHBORHOOD
WHILE SINGING ME PRAISES
ALL THEY TOOK FROM YOU WERE YOUR PLACES TO SIT
MAYBE YOU WERE NEVER MEANT TO BE SITTING
THINK ABOUT IT
GET BUSY
STAND UP FOR YOUR RIGHTS
CREATE AN OUTSIDE AUDITORIUM FOR ME TO DISPLAY MY POWER
AND GOOD WILL
BE CREATIVE
ASK FOR MY INPUT
BE MY PEOPLE!
YOU'RE ONLY DEFEATED
IF
YOU STOP FIGHTING!
