MEET OUR DISTINGUISHED GUEST
Dr. Beisner is the Founder, President, and National Spokesman of The Cornwall Alliance for the Stewardship of Creation. It is a network of over 60 Christian theologians, natural scientists, economists, and other scholars educating for Biblical earth stewardship, economic development for the poor, and the proclamation and defense of the good news of salvation by God’s grace, received through faith in Jesus Christ’s death and resurrection.
|
|
He has earned degrees in philosophy and economics. His Ph.D. dissertation at the University of St. Andrews in Scottland, centered on the History of Political Thought. He has authored, edited, and made scholarly contributions to nearly 80 books and authored thousands of articles, both popular and scholarly. |
|
In September of 2006, just a year after the founding of the CornwallAlliance, Dr. Beisner was called as an expert witness to provide testimony to the U.S. Senate on the economics and ethics of climate and energy policy.
Two and a half years later, in March of 2009, Dr. Beisner was again called to the U.S. Congress to testify as an expert witness. This time to the U.S. House.
|
|
Two years ago, Sandy Rios, longtime FOX NEWS contributor, conducted an amazing interview with Dr. Beisner on AFR's Sandy Rios in the Morning. The interview provides a taste as to what we will hear this Wednesday. Listen to that interview here.
See the accomplishments of Dr. Beisner here...
and meet him at Twin Hills this coming Wednesday!

God's Purpose for Planet Earth
Designed for its Enduring Purpose
by Bob Linn
|
If you opened this newsletter to know more about coupled nonlinear fluid dynamic chaotic systems, you’ve come to the right place. Sort of. Actually, I am using phraseology from Wednesday’s guest speaker in his interview with Sandy Rios. He was describing the earth’s climate.
While you will not find that in Genesis One, it is indeed descriptive of the climate our Creator fashioned. Don’t fret, however. Dr. Beisner is an engaging audience-friendly communicator. He is fluent in listener-friendly verbiage. You will find new appreciation for the kind of a planet God made for you. A planet designed to faithfully carry all mankind through the full extent of divinely ordained history.
|
In some quarters, the Church has been sucked into the secularist spin on the planet’s welfare (global warming/climate change). Some Christians are impressed with the politically motivated babble of Al Gore, the leader of the Global Warming throng. |
Actually, Al Gore struggled in his science classes. All of them. His highest grade was a C. The rest were all D’s, and F’s.
The Gore academic records were discovered by two Pulitzer-winning journalists.
David Maraniss and Ellen Nakashima made public their research on the academic credibility of Al Gore in the Washington Post article here.
There is more which should concern Christians who are caught up in the political issues of climate confusion. More than the incompetence of Al Gore to discuss anything in the realm of science.
|
If the Church knows anything, it should know the Biblical foundations of history. The earth did not come out of a chaotic primeval past grounded in random chance. It is, rather, a product of an organized and thoughtful eternity. |
The very foundations of the planet are in the well-organized and eternal mind of its Creator. It was not created just to see what would happen. It was a creation with a purpose. An earth with an eco-system designed to carry mankind to his divinely ordained destination. |
God designed and created an ecological system more than adequate to fulfill His purposes. You know … that coupled nonlinear fluid dynamic chaotic system I mentioned at the outset.
Dr. Beisner appreciated the conclusions of the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on climate change.
Their 2001 assessment report confessed that because the climate is a coupled nonlinear fluid dynamic chaotic system, predicting climate futures is impossible.
|
Mankind, the pinnacle of God’s creation, is mantled with the responsibility to manage the creation in a way that develops the latent potential of the earth.
Ultimately, the earth is the Lord’s. He created it for His own purposes. Man is central to that purpose. The defining characteristic of the Kingdom of God is the rule of man as God’s representative. God ruling through His image bearer.
|
The earth was born out of eternity and has an eternal destiny. We must view of the planet in this eternal context.
“People live in time for the temporal things, and shut their ears to the tolling bells of eternity.”
~Abraham Kuyper,
1898 Princeton Lectures
Humanity alone of all the created order is capable of developing other resources and can thus enrich creation, so it can properly be said that the human person is the most valuable resource on earth.
|
Quoting Dr. Beisner:
Public policies to combat exaggerated risks can dangerously delay or reverse the economic development necessary to improve not only human life but also human stewardship of the environment.
The poor, who are most often citizens of developing nations, are often forced to suffer longer in poverty with its attendant high rates of malnutrition, disease, and mortality; as a consequence, they are often the most injured by such misguided, though well-intended, policies.
|
I look forward to seeing many of
you this Wednesday at Twin Hills!
|
Dr. James Taylor
Impeachment
|
J.T. on IMPEACHMENT
Dr. Taylor was articulate and well-informed. Just as he always is! He noted that rumors of a pending plan for impeachment surfaced immediately after the Trump victory.
On December 15, 2016, Emily Jane Fox titled her editorial, Democrats Are Paving the Way to Impeach Donald J. Trump. See Vanity Fair here. It was only the first of many articles discussing the opportunity to impeach the hated foe of the left even before he had taken the oath of office!
On inauguration day, January 20, 2017, Matea Gold wrote in the Washington Post, The Campaign to Impeach Trump has Begun.
If you missed it, here it is!
_______________
J.T. on HOUSE DISTRICT 4
I asked James to say something about the House District 4 Race. You may hear his comments when you listen to the Facebook video. He noted the most current report from the New American Magazine's Freedom Index.
|
See the New American Freedom Index here.
|
Once there, you will note that Oklahoma's own Tom Cole may not live up to the advertising he placed on his billboards.
If you've seen them, they are the ones which label him as the consummate conservative.
You may not have the time to read through the names in the Freedom Index.
James was able to bring the comparisons to a fine point with the following meme which compares four members of The Squad to Tom Cole.
|
The Conservative Review rated Tom Cole at 32%. See them here.
A few more items of interest:
Cole voted with The Squad, Kendra Horn, and Nancy Pelosi, on the Farmworkers Amnesty Bill. This gives a million illegal farmworkers amnesty. Other than Horn, a Democrat, none of the other Oklahoma Representatives voted for this bill.
Cole voted with The Squad, Kendra Horn, and Pelosi on October 16, 2019, on H.J. Resolution 77, opposing the withdrawal from Syria. Again, he was the only one of our Oklahoma Congressmen to vote for this. The other Republicans voted “No.”
On October 30, 2019, Adam Andrzejewski from Open the Books was on the Tucker Carlson Show talking about corruption in government. Their purpose is transparency in government--finding corruption. They featured a top corrupt Democrat and Republican. The top Republican they featured was Tom Cole. See the report here.

NORMAN, OKLAHOMA
City Council of Norman discussing becoming a sanctuary city.
|
San Francisco's irrationalism has come to Norman, OK |
There are actually a number of Norman citizens speaking out about this.
I would urge my Norman readers to get involved in developing a coalition to combat this sanctioning of illegal activity.
Obviously, it is past time for Norman's clear thinkers to join arms and take care of our city.
Norman residents, take note!

GOVERNOR KEVIN STITT

The State of the State
TODAY
Monday, February 3, 2020
Scheduled for 12:30 P.M.
|
PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP |
Tomorrow evening at 9 P.M. eastern time, the President will address the nation. In attendance will be the full House and Senate, the Supreme Court justices, the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and guests of the President.
He will probably make come comments about the leftist circus he has called impeachment light. Then, on a more serious note, he will discuss his many weighty accomplishments. It took him 1 hour and 22 minutes to do that last year. This year's list has grown.
We listed his achievements in the last two emails available here and here.
His achievements have reduced the rhetoric of the radical left to deranged hysteria. Tomorrow night, expect oratorical excellence from the most pro-Christian president in our lifetime.

BERT & ERNIE
Lost Innocence

Sesame Street has been polluted and no longer safe for your children. Perhaps it never really was. Two years ago, the program promoted Pride Month.
Now, the program has scheduled a guest appearance by actor and LGBTQ activist, Billy Porter.
If you want to see the report from Lifesite, you may click here.

Street to drop the drag queen here.

Watson is an outspoken advocate for the sanctity of the life of the pre-born. He says:

ONE MORE TIME...
Reflecting back 15 years to Superbowl 39
|
|
We were at the beginning of Reagan's second term. Those who tuned in to watch Superbowl 39 were treated to music of a generally unheard of quality, power, and magnificence. At least, not the music we hear from the NFL. Watch how our National Anthem should sound here!
|
|
The OCPAC compact with City Elders.
Significant for both organizations.
Significant for the future of Oklahoma.

Not A Daycare
Still an important read
|
|
Dr. Piper is one of God's choice men. He is leading the way in the American Church and in the American Christian University by calling for a return to epistemological bedrock. I urge those of you who have not read his book, Not A Day Care: The Devastating Consequences of Abandoning Truth, to order a copy today. It is available very inexpensively here.
