**THIS WEEK'S 66/40 RADIO BROADCAST**
Stay Ahead in the Human Race
Or Ancestral Worship
In the Beginning.
You were what!
Genesis 1:20-1:31
The Code of Life: DNA
| Why study the book of Genesis? It is the book of beginnings: creation, man, women, sabbath, marriage, home, childhood, sin, murder, sacrifice, grace, trade, agriculture, city life, languages, etc. Genesis anticipates all false philosophies: atheism, pantheism, polytheism, materialism, humanism, evolution, and uniformism. All major doctrines have their roots in Genesis: sovereign election, salvation, justification by faith, believer's security, separation, disciplinary chastisement, divine incarnation, resurrection, priesthoods, and covenants. |

The Grace of God Revealed: His righteousness,
Our iniquity and His Remedy through grace.
Romans is the definitive statement of Christian doctrine - the most comprehensive book in the New Testament. Its impact on history is unequalled. This is the first in a trilogy on Habakkuk 2:4, "the just shall live by faith." Which later became the mantra of the reformation. It has an international outlook: As a Roman citizen, and with both Hebrew and Greek culture of history, religion, philosophy, poetry, science, music, etc., Paul's Epistle to the Romans is the most profound writing that exists anywhere. It is the definitive analysis on sin, the law, and grace, and it answers the most profound question:
It may be that Deity can forgive sins, but I do not see how. (Socrates, 500 B.C.)

**ARTICLES AND COMMENTARY**
| LESSONS FROM JOB -
The primary lesson of Job is what the book reveals about the nature of human evil. As we go through the many discourses of Job's "friends" we see them view wicked people in terms of murderers, thieves, rapists, fornicators, cruel tyrants, etc. "These" are the wicked, as Job's counsellors see them. But as we begin to understand more clearly, the things they point out as wicked are really only the fruit of something deeper in human nature: they emerge from a deep-seated root of pride that expresses itself as independence and self-sufficiency: "I can run my own life; I've got what it takes; I don't need help from anybody." Jesus summarized it this way:
"For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies (Matthew 15:19)."
All evil comes from the root of pride (Isaiah 14:12-16), which is evil in its purest form. What we also learn from this book is that pride is expressed not only in terms of murder, thievery, and robbery, but also - as we see in Job's three friends - as bigotry, pompousness, self-righteous legalism, critical judgmental attitudes, condemnation of others, harsh, sarcastic words and vengeful, vindictive actions against someone else.
Human evil is not confined to the criminals of the land; it is present in every heart, without exception (Jeremiah 17:9). Pride is the root of all sin and it can express itself in many different ways.
The Nature of Faith
Job thought he was exercising faith when he obeyed God and did what was right when it was clearly in his best interests to do so. Many people today think they are exercising great faith when they simply believe God is there; when they live their lives day by day with the recognition that God is watching and is present in their affairs. They do right because they know that if they do not they will get into trouble. This is, of course, a form of faith, but it is a weak faith. They live at a level of serving God only when it is in their best interests to do so.
This is the very accusation that Satan hurled at God when Job was discussed. "Job only serves you because you take care of him. Remove your hand of blessing and he'll curse you to your face (Cf. Job 1:9-11)."
Many are like that: the moment blessing ceases, or difficulty or trial comes along, they want to quit. (The lack of a persistent, enduring witness by visible leaders is one of the greatest discouragements among the Body.)
The kind of faith that makes the world sit up and take notice is revealed as we serve God when it is difficult to do so - when serving Him is the hardest thing we can do. This is what the Book of Job is all about. Remember Gethsemane. "Not my will, but thine be done."
This is what we see in Job. Though he trembles, though he falters, though he fails, the final thing he does is cling in helplessness to God. Job ultimately becomes an example of faith. Great faith is exercised when we feel we are being the least faithful! When we are so weak that we cannot do anything but cling. In that moment all heaven is looking and rejoicing at the greatness of our faith.

KNEE DEEP IN DEBT -
"The rich ruleth over the poor, and the borrower is servant to the lender."
- Proverbs 22:7
The traditional American Dream, especially for those of us who grew up in families that survived the depression of the 1930s, was to have a home "free and clear" of any mortgages. The security of a debt-free home was the goal of every family in the 20th-century United States, however that is changing. Being in debt has become a way of life for many Americans. Recent economic data shows that consumer debt, particularly credit card debt, is on the rise. The stigma once associated with debt is gone, and it has become the norm to borrow money even for every day items like gasoline and groceries
The United States has become a nation of debtors. In recent years the level of household debt in America has surpassed the level of household income, so for the first time in our collective history we owe more money than we make. Consumer debt in America has risen to a record high of more than 2.5 trillion dollars. Today the average US household has more than $9,000 in credit card debt and spends more than $1,300 a year in interest payments. Meanwhile, the national debt (the amount of money owed by the US government) has surpassed 9 trillion dollars – and is increasing at a rate of about $1.40 billion per day.
"Debt is so ingrained into our culture that most Americans can't even envision a car without a payment, a house without a mortgage, a student without a loan, and credit without a card. We've been sold debt with such repetition and with such fervor that most folks can't conceive of what it would be like to have no payments," says Dave Ramsey, a well-known talk radio host and Christian financial counselor. While many Americans have become accustomed to making monthly payments, the truth is that debt is contrary to God's plan for our lives. The scripture clearly says the borrower is slave to the lender - God would have us free of that kind of bondage. Getting out of debt is one of the four basic steps of what we call "the Vortex Strategy."
The Vortex Strategy
Money is one of the most important inventions of humankind. Without it, a complex, modern economy based on division of labor, and the consequent widespread exchange of goods and services, would be impossible. Unfortunately, many experts believe we are on the verge of a financial crisis. In recent years the value of the US dollar has dropped significantly, inflation has increased, consumer debt has reached an all-time high, and the US housing market has become dangerously unstable.
It is impossible to predict what exactly the coming months will bring, yet we need to be prepared both practically and spiritually. Anyone that presumes that the coming 12 to 24 months are going to be smooth sailing just hasn't done their homework. It is clear we are facing turbulent times ahead. So if the United States is indeed facing a financial crisis, what should we do about it? How can we prepare for times of economic uncertainty? What does the Bible say about our financial stewardship? Chuck tackles these tough questions in his new briefing titled The Vortex Strategy (click on the link to learn more).

**SPECIAL OFFER**
Faith in the Night Seasons
|
 G od's will is perfect. Why then do we kick so hard against it? When good things happen we praise and glorify Him. When supposedly bad things happen we doubt God and quench His Spirit. Without clarity and understanding of His Will, life becomes a mystery in which we are seeminlgy thrown about by circumstances. God, however, has promised in His Word that His will is not to be a mystery to His own. He promises to reveal to us His wonder-filled life, crated before the foundations of the world. The classroom He often uses to teach us this lesson is called the "night season."

Technology and the Bible - DVD by Chuck Missler
"Except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened:"
If we were reading this in 1860 - before the Civil War - we would have a difficult time anticipating that "all flesh" could wipe itself out with muskets and bayonets! But today a potential nuclear cloud hangs over every geopolitical decision on the Planet Earth.
We take passages in the Bible for granted, often failing to recognize the technological changes that are implied by them. In this briefing we've assembled a small sampling of technology statements, which we hope will reveal a perspective that may surprise many.
To really challenge you K-House Africa has put together a selection of the pictures and captions from the 1st Hour. Click the link below for the Overview Preview

The Late Great USA - DVD
by Jerome R. Corsi
The European Union was put into place incrementally over fifty years, not by the citizens of the member states, but by the efforts of an intellectual elite who disguised their ultimate goal of a regional government. Today, a bloated, unelected bureaucracy has rule over hundreds of millions of people-people who have no say over the EU's actions, or their own futures. Think it can't happen here? According to New York Times best selling author Jerome Corsi, it already has. The Security and Prosperity Partnership, announced in 2005 by the leaders of Mexico, the U.S., and Canada but never presented to Congress for approval, is already laying the groundwork for the merger of the three nations into a North American Union. "Taxation without representation?" That's just for starters...
Jerome Corsi speaks about the coming merger with Mexico and Canada.

King's High Way - Way of Agape
 What could be more important than understanding and experiencing God's Love? Our need for His Love confronts us every day. Doesn't it? We snap at our spouse, children and co-workers. We react harshly to those who misuse and abuse us. Afterwards, we feel so badly for these loveless acts and long to be able to reflect God's Agape Love. God, through His Word, has provided the answers. W must find His way and follow it, otherwise everything we do will be worthless

King's High Way - Be Ye Transformed
   ave you ever felt like two people? One that thinks and acts totally opposite to God's ordinances and the other who watches in horror and revulsion. We are truly fallen creatures, trapped and enslaved by our own "flesh." God has promised, however, that we can shed our old and corrupt garment and be transformed into a new person - one holy enough to be worthy to boldly approach the very throne of God. This kind of victorious life is there for the asking, and God has laid out a simple path. We must be transformed by the moment-by-moment renewing of our minds..
