News Flash: Obama sends $6m to global Muslim sites
With all the hooplah about the separation of church and state in this country, it appears that it is only meant to prevent Christains from proclaiming their faith. Our fearless leader Obama, who is well know to say one thing and do another, has just given nearly $6 million of American tax dollars to restore 63 historic and cultural sites, including Islamic mosques and minarets, in 55 nations.
AFA (American Family Association) has an alert out with a link where you can contact your congressman to oppose this travesty.

Trucking and Christian Priorities
I get a lot of visitors to this site who are searching for Christian trucking firms to haul for. There is nothing wrong with that of course. However, I sometimes wonder about the real reasons people have for wanting to run for a Christian based trucking outfit. I'm sure many would just like to have the Christian fellowship and comaraderie which comes from that. There are some things I would like to point out to Christian truckers though.

Reaching Truckers Online
One of the ways to reach truckers with the Gospel is to start a website or blog on some aspect of trucking or of interest to truckers. For evangelistic purposes, the site needs to be on a topic related to trucking or of interest to truckers, but from a secular standpoint. What I mean is this. It needs to be a “non religious” website or blog.

Get Back to Basics
After we’ve been a Christian for a while, it is easy to get in a rut. Our work and personal lives tend to get more complicated and more distractions come our way. After a while, it seems we are spending a lot of time just putting out fires and trying to cope with life on a daily basis. Our Bible reading and prayer life starts to slide without our realizing it and we find ourselves trying to cope with life through our own wisdom and ingenuity. That’s when things can snowball and life can really end up a mess.

Eight Times the Amount of Oil in the US Than in Saudi Arabia
The USGS has determined we have the equivalent of eight times the amount of oil than Saudi Arabia and 18 times the amount in Iraq. These reserves would make America energy independent for as long as 200 years according to some experts. Why is the government and media keeping this quiet?
The world’s single-largest oil deposit sits right here in North America in the US and Canada. Time magazine calls it “Canada’s biggest buried treasure.” It’s an area with up to 2.5 trillion barrels of oil, locked in Alberta sand. That’s eight times the total reserves of Saudi Arabia, enough to satisfy the world’s demand for petroleum for the next century.
Hal Lindsey talks about this on his podcast for 2/26/10 . Fast forward to 8:40 minutes on the video.

Human Trafficking in the Trucking Industry
You've probably seen it around the truck stops, yet never realized what it was. That prostitute knocking on your truck door could very well be a human slave forced into prostitution by others. If so, then she is shuttled around from truck stop to truck stop and forced into degrading acts just to put money in the pocket of her "owners". At night she cries and dreams of home and freedom. She prays to God, yet there is no answer.
Learn what you can do to stop human trafficking.

The Truck Stop
Here is a good inspirational story from b4f.org
Trying not to be biased, I was hiring a handicapped person. His placement counselor assured me that he would be a good, reliable busboy. I had never had a mentally handicapped employee, and I wasn’t sure I wanted one. I wasn’t sure how my customers would react to Stevie. He was short, a little dumpy, and had the smooth facial features and thick-tongued speech of Down Syndrome.
I wasn’t worried about most of my trucker customers, because truckers don’t generally care who buses tables as long as the meatloaf platter is good and the pies are homemade. The four-wheeler drivers were the ones who concerned me; the mouthy college kids traveling to school; the yuppie snobs that secretly polish their silverware with their napkins for fear of catching some dreaded “truck-stop germ;” the pairs of white-shirted business men on expense accounts, who think every truck-stop waitress wants to be flirted with.

It Takes More Faith to Be an Atheist Than a Theist.
I get a laugh out of athiests who say they don't believe in anything which can't be proven scientifically and therefore do not believe in God. It's not only quite a contradiction they are making, it is an outright lie. Or maybe they are only self-deceived. While it is true that a theist (one who believes in a God) cannot scientifically prove God's existence, neither can an atheist disprove that God exists. So, an atheist has to hold his or her belief on the basis of faith as well. In fact, it takes more "blind" faith to be an atheist than a theist. The reason is that there is evidence for the existence of God. Just look around you at creation, An atheist has to hold their view in spite of this evidence. Of course, an atheist will try to explain creation by using evolution. What they won't admit however, is that evolution is only a theory which has more holes in it than a flour sieve.

Silencing The Christians
Pastors and Christian witnesses are

testimony and speech is being squashed by our legal and judicial
system. We are quickly loosing our rights to free speech and to
practice our religion as Christians. Yet other religions such as Islam,
Buddism, and Atheism, are allowed to propagate their beliefs as they
will.

Some of you have written me over the past few months wondering if you
should get into trucking. Many of you have been layed off and
unemployed for a number of months and are feeling in a kind of limbo
and even desperate. I know the feeling. Although I can't tell you
whether or not you should be a truck driver, I can offer some general
principles about how God sometimes directs us into a direction He wants
us to go. Please read the following prayerfully and may God lead you
into an understanding of what He wants you to do.

For
those of you who have been keeping up with the international news, I am
sure you are getting the feeling that the Rapture is not far off. Iran
is flouting its nose at the international community regarding its
development of nuclear capability. A Russian shipment of missles to
Iran was intercepted supposedly by the Israeli Mossad. Iran is
developing a relationship with Venezula and Venezula has agreed to
replicate Irans nuclear development. With the continuing destruction of
our country by our elected officials, I don't see how anyone can doubt
the prophecies in scripture are rapidly coming into place. America is
not is Bible prophecy. I think that this year we have seen the reasons
this is so.

I know it's getting hard for some of you truckers out there. Loads are
down for some companies and there are more truckers looking for jobs,
especially those of you who are new to the industry. The Bible says
that in the last days, perilous times will come. It also says these are
the birth pangs foreshadowing the Return of Jesus Christ. It may get a
little better for a time, but ultimately the Bible teaches things will
eventually transpire to bring about the one world government under the
Antichrist. We Christian won't be here when that happens, but we may go
through a period of deep trial and persecution before the Rapture...AND
I BELEIVE IN THE RAPTURE ! However, God is still on the throne and
still all powerful.
Here is how you can keep going.
For those of you who are wondering how to become a trucker, I've
written this short article as a primer on the topic. Being a truck
driver offers experiences you won't find in other occupations, but
there are some things you will want to consider before deciding how to
enter the profession.

Become a Bible Distributor.
Want to get involved in some type of ministry on the road, but don't know exactly how to go about it? There is plenty of need for Bible distributors to pass out Bibles to the chapels at the truckstops. You can purchase Bibles through ministries such as HMI Ministries . Buy a case of paperback Bibles for around $65 plus shipping and handling and just ask them for a distributor's list when you order. The list will tell you all the stops throughout the country where you can distribute them. There are a lot of people on the road who have been saved through these Bibles and it is well worth the effort. Sixty five bucks, yeah, that's less than the cost of a motel room for one night these days.
Distribute Tracts
There is also a need for truckers to distribute Gospel tracts to truckers and chapels on the road. You can order them at
Fellowship Tract League . The tracts are free, but I would suggest sending them a donation to help support their work. The last time I checked, it costs them about $7.50 to print 1000 tracts and at least $3.75 for shipping and handling. You might also want to send a few extra dollars to help them cover the cost of printing for missionaries and others.
