·The Last Crusade?· 
...Having been witness to the very early beginnings of this ministry; the simplicity and "small beginnings" of the Anza Narrows Park outreaches, the 2010 Harvest Crusade season was a pinnacle of sorts, with Chicago, Illinois, and Seattle, Washington. Over twenty years of Crusades, from Anaheim California to New York City, the Holy Spirit continues to roll this outfit into some pretty spiritually dark places here in America. All this in the midst of radical global changes—many unprecedented in world history.

·"Denied, Disrupted, and Diverted"·
A very basic military tactical doctrine is the diversion. If you can divert and detour your enemy's attention and resources off mission from their objectives - their victory and your defeat - whether immediately or long term, it strengthens and gives you cover to attack them from another angle. Satan has become adept at this in American Evangelical Christian culture in recent decades. Now, frankly, we have been outflanked...." [Personal Commentary]

·"Holden in the Gap"·
"As Evangelical Christians we don't believe the Koran was inspired or holy, and therefore not the Word of God. Jesus' final words on the cross were "It is finished" (John 19:30), the work of man's redemption completed, and "Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved" (Acts 4:12), thus the individual avoiding an eternity separated from God by only submitting to His singular plan of salvation. ... Right now—right now, as we sit here, the eyes of the world are on America through global media, watching to see how issues like the Ground Zero Mosque, the proposed burning of the Korans at the Dove World Outreach Center, or the Islamic Center of the Temecula Valley debate plays out. This is indeed a "golden Gospel opportunity," as Holden stated, on many different levels. May we seize this day!...."[Personal Commentary]

·"A Rear-guard Action."·
"Any other method or effort to stop the spread of political, expantionist Islam in America, whether the growth of Muslim "enclaves," Shariah law and the development of "parallel Islamic societies," or the building of the Cordoba Mosque at Ground Zero, will simply be ineffective. They will build that mosque at Ground Zero, regardless of national protest, and what if they don't? They'll just build fifty more someplace else. Does anybody have any real credible ideas to halt the spread of this hostile ideology? I just read another article, one of thousands like them, bluntly titled "Islam Must Be Stopped In America." Seriously? In today's crippling PC socio-political environment?...."[Personal Commentary]

·ISLAMIC ECONOMICS AND THE FINAL JIHAD - The Muslim Brotherhood
to the Leftist/Marxist - Islamist Alliance·
"...In the early months of 2006 as the news of the Dubai Ports World (DPW) (a maritime company controlled by the UAE government) acquisition of Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company (P&O) and their subsequent control of 24 terminals at six major U.S. ports broke from the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States, a fire storm of controversy broke nationally. The detractor's response was attacked as “xenophobic hysteria,” bigotry, and racism against Arabs (snarl words usually employed by the radical left against their hapless targets), by free market proponents, yet the majority of Americans, their sons and daughter at war with Islamic terrorism, instinctively sensed a threat. Few were able to clearly articulate why.
That threat no longer remains veiled. David J. Jonsson, author of “The Clash of Ideologies – The Making of the Christian and Islamic Worlds” has thoroughly and meticulously exposed the threat in his newest work, 'ISLAMIC ECONOMICS AND THE FINAL JIHAD - The Muslim Brotherhood to the Leftist/Marxist - Islamist Alliance.'"

·"The Rain is Falling..."·
Watching the recent online release of the movie "IRANIUM" elicited a personal response I am usually not inclined to. The documentary was secular, level-headed, well-researched, void of hysterical and alarmist rhetoric, and laid out long established facts known about the Iranian nuclear weapons program. My own post-9/11 ten year slog through ancient and modern Middle East and Islamic history, along with a daily review of carefully chosen open source information, found nothing exaggerated in the comments and observations of the experts consulted.
Like most secular documentaries, "expert's" position papers, and Western government's statements over the last decade, though, there were few credible suggestions offered in response to this tangible threat, at least little the West seems capable of at this point. Most solutions are little more than magical thinking; positions qualified with "perhaps" and "maybes" as the comprehension of the peril becomes more real. It was this timidity of moral certainty and vision that led to the undeterred and irreversible red line crossing of the Iranian Bushehr reactor being brought online in August of 2010. ...
So, the response in light of this movie's magnification of the reality of Iran's aims for their continued bid to enter the global "nuclear club?"
Fear.
Not for me. For people.
Then I thought, "the rain is falling," and thought of Noah.[Personal Commentary]

·"Allies - Standing With Israel In The Coming Storm"·
"...Professor Daniel Pipes' recent analysis, "Israeli Jets vs. Iranian Nukes," in response to the Whitney Raas and Austin Long's (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) paper, "Osirak Redux? Assessing Israeli Capabilities to Destroy Iranian Nuclear Facilities," is yet again another harbinger of the impending clash between Iran and the West. Professor Pipes postulates that the widest possible dissemination of this paper could deter Iran from proceeding with its nuclear weapons program.
Although that proposition is laudable, it is not probable....[Personal

The Harvest Crusades
Statement on the use of the term "Crusade": The use of the word "crusade" in the Harvest Crusade name is in respect to the Billy Graham Crusade organization which started in 1948 in America. This was decades before the rise of radical, political, expantionist Islam and the absurd accusation by Islamist apologists that modern Islamic terrorism is in response to some imagined resurgence of Middle Ages "Christian" aggression. Although the 10th century crusades were largely a response to Muslim aggression, we believe Biblical, book of Acts Christianity is the only effective response to contemporary Islamic supremacism. People need Jesus.

Harvest Christian Fellowship ~ Online
I believe that the Christian men and women of American Police work
are, more than anyone else in the Born Again, Spirit filled Church, on the
point in dealing with the corruption and despair of American society, and
that being so, are critical players in the ongoing, daily outreach
to this society by the Spirit of God.

"Instead of praying for just a few more republicans
in Congress or a republican President to bring about salvation by laws,
Christians should be praying that God will send revival. Only He can save
us. So saith the Scripture." ~ Tom Pardue Sr. LtCol. U.S. ARMY

"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the
populace alarmed—and thus clamorous to be led to safety—by menacing
it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary." ~ H.L.
Mencken
"You need only reflect that one of the best ways to
get yourself a reputation as a dangerous citizen these days is to go about
repeating the very phrases which our founding fathers used in the great struggle
for independence." ~ Charles Austin Beard (1874-1948)
"Conservatism is not in trouble—the Republican Party is.
Too many of its leaders at the ballot box or
in its conservative journals
have lost sight of the blindingly obvious: Ronald Reagan was not just a
winning
personality whose time has come and gone. He was in fact the living
embodiment of a set of timeless principles
that are not only the gravity of
this political world we live in but its oxygen as well. To borrow
his once famous query: If not now, when? If not us, who?" ~ Jeffrey Lord
"All politics in this country now is just dress rehearsal for civil war." ~ Billy Beck, August 2009.
