And the word of the LORD came to me, saying, "Son of man, say to her: 'You are a land that is not cleansed or rained on in the day of indignation.' The conspiracy of her prophets in her midst is like a roaring lion tearing the prey; they have devoured people; they have taken treasure and precious things; they have made many widows in her midst. Her priests have violated My law and profaned My holy things; they have not distinguished between the holy and unholy, nor have they made known the difference between the unclean and the clean; and they have hidden their eyes from My Sabbaths, so that I am profaned among them. Her princes in her midst are like wolves tearing the prey, to shed blood, to destroy people, and to get dishonest gain. Her prophets plastered them with untempered mortar, seeing false visions, and divining lies for them, saying, 'Thus says the Lord GOD,' when the LORD had not spoken. The people of the land have used oppressions, committed robbery, and mistreated the poor and needy; and they wrongfully oppress the stranger. So I sought for a man among them who would make a wall, and stand in the gap before Me on behalf of the land, that I should not destroy it; but I found no one. Therefore I have poured out My indignation on them; I have consumed them with the fire of My wrath; and I have recompensed their deeds on their own heads," says the Lord GOD.
Ezekiel 22:23-31 (NKJV)
Certain areas of Circuit Rider's Range contain graphic images of the mutilation and murder of unborn children. This is not suitable viewing for young children or youth. Although honesty dictates that the little tykes are exposed to more graphic blood & guts violence produced by the Hollywood, TV, and gaming industries than what would be very rarely, if ever, viewed by them here!The comments on this web site concerning the abortion issue are rooted in Bible based revelation on human life and its Divine purpose (See Jeremiah 1:4,5, Psalm 139, and Ephesians 1:3-5) and so stated by the owner of the web site, Clayton D. Harriger.
Comments relative to this issue of abortion do not reflect the official position of the United Methodist Church, nor of the Western PA Annual Conference of the United Methodist Church where Clayton D. Harriger is an ordained elder in full connection and where his ministerial credentials are on record.
The stated "green light" position of the United Methodist Church on abortion is found in its Book of Discipline in the section on Social Principles.
See a kind of follow up and comment or two about the above at A Quick Look At the United States' Massacre Tally! -- scroll down a bit until you come across mention of a United Methodist Bishop and the tally since he became a bishop! In fact, this has been updated to include all other active United Methodist bishops and the massacre tally dating from the year they became bishops. Included also is a copy of a personal letter sent to each of the bishops on an ongoing basis. Full explanation about all this and who all are receiving letters is at that area. BTW, whom all have you contacted lately about the ethical, moral, and spiritual whirlpool that is sucking this republic down to disaster?

Miscellaneous - the ones that may not fit anywhere else!
Some "Iffy" stuff - they don't even fit into the Miscellaneous category!
The United Methodist Church and Homosexuality -- express your thoughts in this survey -- a major issue for the UMC come General Conference 2008!
This area will provide links to articles and news releases that fall into the "untempered mortar" category. They will be posted in this domain in separate areas so you can easily examine them and then return here to look at others as you so choose. This will be an expanding area of links as time moves along. The advantage will be that the articles will be posted separately on a plain page which will shorten download time considerably. But before you start on those, you will see a "Feature of the Week" article, which will be taken from selections posted at Ramblings from the Pen of a Maverick Who Wears a Mickey Mouse Watch!.
However, in addition to the above, there will be articles posted under the subject of "Tempered Mortar" Messages for the 21st Century! These are articles written by persons whose value system is based on and in agreement with God's special revelation to us via the holy Scriptures.
There is a "Life and Death Issues" category which deals with matters related to efforts to protect human life at all stages, beginning with fertilization, as well as the growing trends and acceptance of a "Nazi" type value system which says human life is expendable at all stages based on whatever warped logic we can devise with our twisted thinking!
Unless you were in a coma, or cut off from communications as you explored the South Pole the last few months, you are quick to recognize the date of September 11, 2001 -- so there are a number of subjects that fall into the new category of "September 11, 2001."
And there is a "Political Issues of the Day" as well as a "Miscellaneous" category for some information that may not necessarily fall into any of the above.
Ooops! There is one more -- called the "Iffy" category -- you'll know why when you see some of the subjects. CR just wasn't sure what to do with this stuff, so the "Iffy" category was set up
The United States has at times, and continues to be compared
to the ancient Roman Empire -- while certain parallels can be drawn,
a more superior comparison can be made historically -- go to

Have you heard the term, "fiscal cliff," lately?
That is not the cliff to be worried about --
the real crisis is going over the moral cliff!

It Is the Moral Cliff That Is!
There are those who recently celebrated the birth of Jesus Christ.
A few of us, due to personal acquaintaince with Him, believe Him to be
God revealed in human form 2,000 years ago and He is very real at the
present time -- suppose a "committee" was set up to confront Him due to
the fact that He is a very controversial individual Who often caused
division and conflict! How might the session go in such a confrontation?
Listen in on Jesus Meets the "Committee!"
It sparks some of the most heated debate ever and some of us
who are considered radical in our faith contribute to that conflict!
Is Jesus Christ the ONLY way of salvation, hope, and entrance to Heaven?
Among theologians, seminary professors, church leaders, and pastors there is conflict -
it is wise to review the issue at The Way -- The Truth -- The Life!
Election 2012 is now over and done --

Didn't you know? Assuming oneself to be a Christian!
Just WHAT does one do to become a Christian?
Yes, something is required by way of action....
See what at How to Become a Christian
Remember, Christians are born, not people who have a "make-over!"

The nails continue to be driven at a furious pace --
Will 2013 be the year the final nail is driven for the United States?
