Trib Updates


This is a weekly series that will include a brief summary of the latest articles that have been published on The Tribulation Times Herald-Exhorter.  Hopefully, this will encourage you to go check out some truly outstanding articles that have been published by a number of truly outstanding authors.  Moreover, I hope this will also encourage you to want to become a contributing member/author, as well.  The “Hear Ye!  Hear Ye!” site explanation near the top of the side-bar should answer many of your questions.  Yes, this series also included an “SOS! (Spam On Saturdays)”  segment before, but it just wasn’t working for me.  Therefore, that will be replaced by a republishing of one of the Trib articles.

[Gays in the military? Why not?] has RN auditioning for a position with FOX News again.

[Liza Minnelli – So Sorry I Said] is another song that RN finds reasonably enjoyable.

[Not What You May Think] has a song that I absolutely love, and not for the reason that you may think.

[The Gospel of Jesus Christ] is a well presented piece by RN, except for some “stuff” that gets in the way of what our Heavenly Father actually says is absolutely true.

[Pastors and Porn and ‘Mad Men’] contains some thoughts by RN.


From what I understand of Florida’s [Stand Your Ground] law, it allows someone to use deadly force whenever they feel threatened, regardless of where they are.  Being a self-confessed gun nut, whose neck has glowed (both literally and figuratively) with a particularly bright shade of red at times, I like it.  For I have always had a serious problem with having to wait until the bad guy is actually in my house before I can take measures to protect my family and our property, and woe be it unto me if they were to get back outside before expiring.

No, that doesn’t sound like a very “Christian” attitude, but it’s the truth.  For as I have been quite forthcoming about on many an occasion, our Heavenly Father has left far too much of “me” intact for my comfort.

On the other hand, He has made it abundantly clear unto me that there are times when turn the other cheek doesn’t apply, and if we will listen, He will tell us when those times are.  In other words, none of us has to depend upon our own understanding of His Holy Scriptures, nor the teaching of others not so unlike ourselves, to know what to do.

Oh, but after the senseless slaying of [Trayvon Martin], some adjustments to the Florida law is most definitely needed.  For regular people should be held to at least close to the same standard as police officers in determining whether the use (or attempted use) of deadly force was warranted—especially when an incident happened on neutral ground.

Alas, I really hate it when some idiot ruins a good thing for the rest of us.  For the murder (yeah, I said it) of Trayvon has the lily-livered liberals screaming about rednecks wanting a return to frontier justice, which will undoubtedly lead to another big push to take away our right to bear arms.  It’s a good thing it’s an election year (naturally-speaking, of course).

Sites To See


The SOLE purpose of this weekly series is to call attention to sites that I think many would find most interesting—in one way or another.  Just to be clear, inclusion in this series is not necessarily meant as a recommendation, and I have included sites that are rather disturbing to me.  The link below each image is to the site itself, and each image is linked to the particular post from which it was taken when applicable.  Please, go see for yourself.

Tears For Fears vs. Gary Jules


 

   

Mad World
Tears For Fears
All around me are
Familiar faces
Worn out places
Worn out faces
Bright and early for their
Daily races
Goin' nowhere
Goin' nowhere
Their tears are
Fillin' up their glasses
No expression
No expression
Hide my head I want to
Drown my sorrow
No tomorrow
No tomorrow

And I find it kind of funny
I find it kind of sad
The dreams in which I'm dyin'
Are the best I've ever had
I find it hard to tell you
'Cause I find it hard to take
When people run in circles
It's a very very
Mad world
Mad world
Mad world
Mad world

Children waitin' for the
Day they feel good
Happy birthday
Happy birthday
Made to feel the way that
Every child should
Sits and listen
Sits and listen
Went to school and I was
Very nervous
No one knew me
No one knew me
Hello teacher tell me
What's my lesson
Look right through me
Look right through me

And I find it kind of funny
I find it kind of sad
The dreams in which I'm dyin'
Are the best I've ever had
I find it hard to tell you
'Cause I find it hard to take
When people run in circles
It's a very very
Mad world
Mad world
Mad world
Mad world

And I find it kind of funny
I find it kind of sad
The dreams in which I'm dyin'
Are the best I've ever had
I find it hard to tell you
'Cause I find it hard to take
When people run in circles
It's a very very
Mad world
Mad world
A raunchy young world
Mad world

WhiteHeart Wednesday


 



Fall On Me
WhiteHeart
How long have I been here
Wish I could stay forever

In the beauty of the silence
Lord I can feel Your presence
All over me

But I hear a river flowin’
Just beyond my knowin’
Lord
Are You callin’ me
Could it be that You are sayin’
There is even more

Oh my Lord Jesus
How I need this
Won’t You fall on me
Oh my Redeemer
Come even nearer
Won’t You fall on me

I could be Your April flower
Drinkin’ up Your shower
In all of me
‘Cause there’s nothin’ in my dreamin’
That could ever hold the meanin’ of when
You fall on me
Is there something I’ve kept secret
From the reaches of Your Spirit
Show me Lord
That’s the last thing I would ever
Want to do

Oh my Lord Jesus
How I need this
Won’t You fall on me
Oh my Redeemer
Come even nearer
Won’t You fall on me

You said to come askin’
To seek and find
Now I’m lookin’ for more of
Your heart and mind
Do You hear me knockin’
Upon Your door
Please open it up
To more and more
And more and more
More and more
And more and more
More and more
 Of You Lord
Oh my Lord

My Lord Jesus
How I need this
Won’t You fall on me
Oh my Redeemer
Come even nearer
Won’t You fall on me
Oh
Oh my Jesus
You know I need this
Fall on me
Oh loving Savior
Come even closer
Won’t You fall on me

Won’t You fall on me

Oh oh

TFT: Tears For Fears


 

Not every song that will be featured here will be what is generally considered as being “Christian” in the eyes of this world.  For some will be anguished cries from the pit of despair, and others will be quite obviously ferverent rants of rebellion.  Nonetheless, be assured that they will all be of our Heavenly Father (in one way or another) and I hope that you have been given ears to hear the message.


Shout
Tears For Fears
Shout
Shout
Let it all out
These are the things
I can do without
Come on
I'm talking to you
Come on

Shout
Shout
Let it all out
These are the things
I can do without
Come on
I'm talking to you
Come on

In violent times
You shouldn't have to sell your soul
In black and white
They really really ought to know
Those one track minds
They took you for a working boy
Kiss them goodbye
You shouldn't have to jump for joy
You shouldn't have to jump for joy

Shout
Shout
Let it all out
These are the things
I can do without
Come on
I'm talking to you
Come on

They gave you life
And in return you gave them Hell
As cold as ice
I hope we live to tell the tale
I hope we live to tell the tale

Shout
Shout
Let it all out
These are the things
I can do without
Come on
I'm talking to you
Come on

Shout
Shout
Let it all out
These are the things
I can do without
Come on
I'm talking to you
Come on

Shout
Shout
Let it all out
Let it all out
These are the things
I can do without
Come on
I'm talking to you
Come on

And when you've taken down your guard
If I could change your mind
I'd really love to break your heart
I'd really love to break your heart

Shout
Shout
Let it all out
These are the things
I can do without
I’d really love to break your heart
Come on
I'm talking to you
Come on
Shout
Shout
Let it all out
These are the things
I can do without
So come on
I’m talking to you
So come on

Shout
Shout
Let it all out
These are the things
I can do without
Come on
I’m talking to you
Come on

They really really ought to know
Shout
Shout
Let it all out
They really really ought to know
These are the things
I can do without
They really really ought to know
Come on
I’m talking to you
They really really ought to know
Come on


Everybody Wants To Rule The World
Tears For Fears
Welcome to your life
There's no turning back
Even while we sleep
We will find you
Acting on your best behavior
Turn your back on Mother Nature
Everybody wants to rule the world

It's my own design
It's my own remorse
Help me to decide
Help me make the
Most of freedom
And of pleasure
Nothing ever lasts forever
Everybody wants to rule the world

There's a room
Where the light won't find you
Holding hands
While the walls come tumbling down
When they do
I'll be right behind you
So glad
We've almost made it
So sad
They had to fade it
Everybody wants to rule the world

I can't stand
This indecision
Married with
A lack of vision
Everybody wants to rule the world

Say that you'll never
Never
Never
Never need it
One headline
Why believe it
