Miss California Carie Prejean Did Not Give Up Her Heavenly Crown

Sulad Jhun Cardeinte

I’m not really following this beauty contest but I was shock to read this on Yahoo news that the Californian beauty queen Miss Carrie Prejean supposed to take the Miss Universe crown home but lost for saying the right thing. What shocked me most is not because the most deserving contestant was not able to take the crown home, but how corrupt, dirty, wicked and immoral America is!!!!!

I was reminded how God destroyed by fire the filthy Sodom and Gomorrah. Then I remember what I have read about an article some time ago about some states in the USA that start legalizing gay-marriage. The wickedness of the State leaders is so unimaginable to me to support this so immoral act. They gave license to SIN. Shocking!!!!! Let me share to you my personal observation;

America has the best printing press that print Bible but their Bibles don't give them light.

America has produced the most brilliant Bible scholars but they are not able to make America moral.

America has mentally sharp court judges but they are not wise enough to lead people to choose the right.

America is known to have spiritualy strong judges but they don't help inspire people to stand for the right.

America has smart and best compitition judges, but they don't know how to choose. America has big churches with crowd of worshipers but God is not there.

America has great and well-educated pastors but they tolerate people to sin.

America has the best communication facilities but they cannot make people one.

America has all the freedom but it cannot let them free from the jail of wickedness.

America is able to win any big war far abroad but it couldn't win victory over its own small war inside.

America is able to change the world but it cannot change its own. These make America Amazing!!!!!!

Back to the story, I could point out that the homosexual judge of the contest was so bias in judging since he had his agenda ready. That means if a contestant disagrees with (him or her?) definitely lost the crown. When the homosexual judge Perez Hilton asked how she felt about legalizing gay marriage. Miss Carrie replied, "In my country, and in my family, I believe that a marriage should be between a man and a woman," she replied. “Her answer revealed that she has pure heart and godly innocence, but she lost the earthly crown because of that!!!!!!! Interesting …..

The judge has already been compromising. We don’t have to let other compromise their principles to heal the divide. What divides us is the SIN… No other. He believes that inviting others to sin (to continue his sexual perversion or support) can heal the divide like he is doing. When she was interviewed in a show she said “It did cost me my crown, "“I wouldn't have had it any other way. I said what I feel. I stated an opinion that was true to myself and that's all I can do.” "It is a very touchy subject and [Hilton] is a homosexual and I see where he was coming from and I see the audience would've wanted me to be more politically correct," she added. "But I was raised in a way that you can never compromise your beliefs and your opinions for anything." "My beliefs have nothing to do with my sister or my mom, or whatever." Thanks to the Christian up-bringing at her home that helps her not to gave up her heavenly crown. Truly, I was very sad with the Yahoo article that had cause me to write this. America is supposed to be a Christian country. If the heart of Americans is open to the voice of God then gay marriage does not deserve any right they have been asking.

The true way to heal the divide is to go back to the Bible principles. God gives us right not as a license to sin. There have been many calamities happening in the USA. Yes, God is pouring his judgment to America....America, repent and be converted. Jesus is coming very very soon. Miss Carrie Prejean may not have been crowned Miss USA but she has a heavenly crown God has prepared where righteous people and billions of angels are her audience. Yes, she is right when she said, "I feel like I won. I feel like I'm the winner. I really do," …..

Let me end up this article with a reminder from my favorite American author;

“The greatest want of the world is the want of men-- men who will not be bought or sold, men who in their inmost souls are true and honest, men who do not fear to call sin by its right name, men whose conscience is as true to duty as the needle to the pole, men who will stand for the right though the heavens fall. “ Mrs. Ellen G. White, Education p.57

I call Miss Carrie as the shining light of America. America’s morals, integrity and values are declining. Today we need many more Carrie. A woman whose principles cannot be bought or sold. A woman who is true and honest. Who does not fear to call sin on its right name.Wake up America! You have been rejecting God's blessings. Don't give up your heavenly crown. You are supposed to be a MODEL. I'm praying for you AMERICA....

Small Puppy Story

A nature and pet lover family invited me for a walk at “Lumpini Park” the most known and biggest park in Bangkok. Everyone was excited as we were heading to the park. The smiling 8 years old Luisa brought her cute puppy with her. We went straight inside the guarded park after we stepped off from the taxi.

But as we walked about 200 meters, we realized that no one is allowed to bring dog at the park. The two guards at the gate did not notice the small girl Luisa carrying the small puppy with her. And so we were admitted. We passed by several public sign boards at the park that no dogs are really allowed.

And so Luisa’s mom said we should go back home before the roaming guards would send us outside. But pet lover Luisa fight for her cute puppy. She said “no” and tried to insist that she only brings puppy with her and not dog. But as we kept on walking, we realized that there is no such thing as puppy in Thai language and it belongs to one name “ma.” No matter how small or big it is!

But we can’t let the puppy go. Luisa loves the puppy so much that we decided to help her carry it wherever we go and trying to hide it whenever we saw a roaming guard. As were walking through, Luisa understands the situation and promised her mom not to bring the puppy anymore next time. It was a bad experience that I was physically and mentally involved and affected! Our planned to enjoy and get refresh at the park was ruin just to save the small puppy.

When it began to dark, we decided to go home. Many strict guards were guarding at the gate but fortunately they all stayed in one place and we easily outsmarted them and were so happy to make our way out from the park without their knowledge. Then we ate outside and enjoy at the small restaurant with the cute puppy!

Then finally we waited for the cheaper public bus, hoping we could save some money. It seemed that we were waiting for the last bus since we waited for more than 30 minutes. But finally it arrived and we happily hop in right away.

Unfortunately, we were not aware that people bringing animals are not allowed to ride the bus. When the unforgiving conductress saw the puppy with us, she was so upset and asked the driver to stop and with all her authority ordered us all to step out right away from the bus in the presence of many passengers! To avoid more embarrassment, we stepped out right away just because of a small puppy. Still in the feeling of shame and humiliation, we decided to ride the expensive taxi.

Do you have small puppy in your spiritual life? The silly things that you love most that is so hard to give up. Ask God on how to surrender your small puppy-sin. Christians who won’t give up their small puppies will be put to shame in the judgment day. CLICK HERE to go AVS VIDEO Editor website CLICK HERE to go to AVS VIDEO Editor product page

There are sincere people who are scared almost out of their wits by reading Hebrews 6:4-6. The passage says: “It is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted the heavenly gift, and have become partakers of the Holy Spirit, and have tasted the good word of God and the powers of the age to come, if they fall away, to renew them again to repentance, since they crucify again for themselves the Son of God, and put Him to an open shame.”

It is indeed serious business! The Father was happy to hear the prayer of Jesus, to forgive us for crucifying His Son when we did it “not knowing what [we] do.” But if we do it again in full knowledge of what we are doing, that’s it; no more repentance. But many sincere people misread the text and bring darkness upon themselves. They realize that since they were originally converted they have backslid, and they assume that now God has turned against them. But the text doesn’t say that. It does not say that God will not forgive, again and again; it merely says that those who crucify Christ afresh are refusing to accept the gift of repentance. You can be forgiven for any sin that you repent of. That gift of repentance is yours for the taking.

The Greek text uses the present tense: the problem is a willful, ongoing process of re-crucifying Christ “afresh,” on and on, that is, refusing to repent. If you can read these words; if you see ever so tiny a ray of light shining somewhere, do not give up; tell your dear heavenly Father that you want to repent; ask Him to give you the precious gift; receive it; accept it. And rejoice in His pardoning love. Then go right to work to help somebody else with a word of Good News. Happiness is yours!

A man may love a woman truly, and she make a response to his love and tell him she also loves him truly; and then without provocation, she may turn on him and drop him cruelly:

That is a very painful experience for the man to have to go through. If, O man, you’ve never had to have it, thank the Lord. He never intended that you should have that painful sorrow.

Is it possible that the Lord Jesus Christ has been through that experience of suffering?

Only on a far greater plane than any of us have endured?

What we know for sure from the Bible is that Jesus will be married, for we read a prophecy that “the marriage of the Lamb is come, and His wife hath made herself ready”(Rev. 19:7, 8).

The clear meaning of the prophecy in context is that before this “marriage” takes place, it has been long delayed.

And the long delay was never the intent of the divine Bridegroom. “The disappointment of Christ has been beyond description,”—this we know.

And what we know also is that in the Song of Songs we have a clear prophecy of the divine Bridegroom’s suffering from the callous hardheartedness of the one “woman” whom He loves truly in all the world. It’s chapter 5:2-8 (incidentally, Jesus expressly commended the Song of Solomon as holy “Scripture” in John 7:37, 38).

The “man” (representing Christ) who truly loves the “woman” has just returned from a trip. He has come to her because He loves her, He wants to be with her intimately; but she disdains Him even though He knocks pleadingly on her “door,” telling her it’s raining outside where He is, please let Me in; but she rebuffs Him (read it; it’s there).

It’s one of the most painful pictures in the Bible, there in the Song of Songs.

But finally, she actually “repents”: she stops thinking of her own selfish comfort in her snug, warm bed on a rainy night and begins to think about Him out there in the cold and the wet, and gets up to care for Him.

The story of stories has to end with her repentance; otherwise “heaven” would be no more heaven, but become hell.

That’s how serious living is in this antitypical Day of Atonement during this Judgment hour (cf. Rev. 14:6, 7).

How could the Samaritans in John 4:42 say that Jesus is “the Savior of the world” when today 2000 years later most of the world’s inhabitants do not recognize Him?

The Holy Spirit led them to say that because it is true!

The Father “so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son” for us; it was not an offer that required us to accept it first; Jesus is an out-and-out gift forever to this fallen human race.

All the giving has already been done; the fact that most of earth’s inhabitants do not accept the gift does not in any way lessen the “breadth, and length, and depth, and height ... of the love [agape] of Christ which passeth knowledge” in His giving of the gift (Eph. 3:18, 19).

What is the reason that most of earth’s inhabitants do not join the Samaritans in confessing that Jesus is their Savior? Most have never heard the gospel presented to them in a clear way; far more than we have yet seen, many will at last open their hearts and receive the good news when it comes to them clearly.

This we know from the prophecy in Revelation18:1-4 of another mighty angel who will “come down from heaven, having great power” when “the earth [will be] lightened with his glory.”

The second coming of Christ will be a decisive moment of judgment for the entire world. Christ so loves this lost planet that He will not permit that final moment of judgment to come until earth’s inhabitants have all had an ample opportunity to hear the message and respond; the Lord is not satisfied with a fear-induced, old covenant message even if it is being proclaimed worldwide.

Many people worldwide have come to understand that this year 2008 marks the 120th anniversary when “the Lord in His great mercy sent” a “most precious message” that was thoroughly New Covenant; glorious Good News that thrilled the hearts of some.

The differences between the New and the Old Covenant are clear-cut; we have detailed them on a little one-page sheet. If you would like to have a PDF file sent to you, please indicate accordingly; I believe you will be blessed (Robert J. Wieland, for Dial Daily Bread).
