Erwin Cain in 2010

2010 is now right around the corner and this week has opened up many eyes across this great land of ours. Right here in Northeast Texas, House District 3, we have a great opportunity to be a part of the refounding of our nation. Erwin Cain will help do just that.

Stay tuned for a more in-depth post regarding Erwin Cain and his bid for representing the people of HD3 in Texas. It is time conservatives are heard!

Do the Right Thing

I realize it has been a while since my last post, and for that I apologize. Our transition with new jobs and a new home has been a much larger adjustment than we ever anticipated. However, God is good and we are settling in. I look forward to getting back on task soon.

Unfortunately I find it necessary that I disassociate myself with a someone who has been a partner here on MyCall2Rise from the beginning. Engraved Euniques has been listed on this site since nearly the beginning. When I was hosting "The Call" on BlogTalkRadio, I graciously provided advertising for Kaye MaKay's business because I felt it was the right thing to do...a Christian blog and/or radio program promoting a fellow Christian's business.

I did this because I believe Christians should band together and, especially in the market place, Christian businesses should be supported and promoted by fellow Christians. Conversly, whenever that business and/or it's leadership chooses to take an unChristian stance or their actions reveal less than Christ-like characteristics, I believe such promotion and support must be withdrawn.

Such is the case with Engraved Euniques. I have hesitated for some time in doing this, but I now feel it is necessary. The leadership of Engraved Euniques has shown over the past several months that their actions no longer reflect even the nature of the products provided. Without any regard to their fellow neighbors, they have chosen to think only of themselves while causing emotional and financial harm to others. Simply put, the leadership of Engraved Euniques no longer represents the values of MyCall2Rise.

This is a personal decision based solely upon my convictions that I cannot support such a business whose leadership is in stark contrast with the moral, Biblical and professional characteristics of my own. I am saddened that time did not heal or resolve this matter which has gone on for a long time. I had hoped this relationship could have continued.

Such is the case, it can not. I only ask Engraved Euniques and its leadership will see the err of their ways and will do the right thing soon, for all parties involved.

So Nice to Be Home

After being an alien in a strange land for the past 4 years, it is so nice to be back home.

My family and I moved back to Mt. Pleasant, Texas at the end of July, and, since that time, I have had more opportunity to surround myself with others of like mind than I ever found before. Today was one of those days.

This morning I attended a local Republican party breakfast in town. The special guest was Bill Priefert, owner/founder of Priefert Ranch Equipment. I recently found out where Mr. Priefert stood politically after attending a local Town Hall meeting regarding the current healthcare legislation. You can read about that meeting in my post, "Obamacare is Our Temptation in the Wilderness."

Today Mr. Priefert expanded on his picture painting...helping us all realize how the big picture is leading to "world communism." The end game is there and our leaders are seeking any and every opportunity to gain more and more pieces of the pie. Before long, we will be too far gone.

But I have hope. I have hope in the "moral majority" of America...people just like those who were attending this meeting today. We still outnumber the liberal fascists who are in control. We can still unite and preserve our nation.

This is the point of the Grizzly Groundswell and Temerity Magazine, both of which I am proud to say I am a part. This movement, which consists of writers, radio hosts and countless others around the United States, exists to unite Conservatives in thought, voice and image.

All across this nation, movements like ours here in Mt. Pleasant are springing up. Conservatives, whether Republican or Democrat or Independent, are standing up for their rights, their freedoms and their security. I find hope in them...I find hope in my home.

We must unite. We must start at home and move from there. We must stand together on the issues and use our collective voices to be heard. The Grizzly Groundswell and Temerity Magazine is dedicated to helping that happen.

If you are new to My Call to Rise, especially my new friends in Mt. Pleasant, I encourage you to do a few things. (1) Join here. Become a follower...it's free! (2) Go to www.temeritymagazine.com and stay informed there. Our next edition will be released in October. If you would like to submit an article, please email it immediately to me. (3) Spread the word! The more readers we get (we're currently over 500,000, the better opportunity we will have to gain greater reach.) Download the magazine, email your friends, print it and spread it around. Just spread the word.

I am so glad to be home and I look forward to working with my fellow Mt. Pleasant and Titus county citizens. I WILL cover the conservative agenda in our area. I WILL print it. I WILL represent you. Join the groundswell and let's make it happen!

America is Unconstitutional

The United States of America has existed under the negative and oppressive ideals found in its Constitution and, for that matter, their Declaration of Independence, long enough. It is time to call her bluff and declare once and for all...

...America is unconstitutional!

Scanning across the past 300 years of our existence as colonies and nation, one can clearly see the militant agenda of Christianity and the role it has played in policy, both foreign and domestic. Lives have been lost, legacies destroyed and generations held prisoner by one group of people who thought it was their right...their sole purpose...to impose a black-n-white, one way or the highway, ideology on a nation in hopes to corral the future in a submissive pen. Christians saw an opportunity of monumental proportions in the New World, and, like wolves in sheep's clothing, they devised a plan cloaked in "righteousness" so the people of their day and generations to come would be blinded by its obvious bias.

Today, a true "Great Awakening" is taking shape in America: one where the citizens of this land and across the world finally realize how free they truly can be apart from the ideals of George Washington, John Adams, Benjamin Rush and the other founding fathers. Freedom was their cry in 1776, yet for over 200 years, the citizens of the United States have been held captive under the watchful eye of "Nature's God." See for yourself in their own words.

When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God ENTITLE THEM...

Thomas Jefferson, Declaration of Independence, 1776 (emphasis added.)

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights...

Thomas Jefferson, Declaration of Independence, 1776 (emphasis added.)

[W]ith us, Christianity and religion are identified. It would be strange, indeed, if with such a people our institutions did not presuppose Christianity and did not often refer to it and exhibit relations with it.

Founding Father and U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice John Marshall, 1833 (emphasis added.)

The general principles on which the fathers achieved independence were...the general principles of Christianity.

President John Adams, 1813 (emphasis added.)

It is the duty of all nations to acknowledge the Providence of Almighty God.

George Washington, 1789 (emphasis added.)

The list goes on and on from the founders, but this propaganda didn't stop with our eighteenth century founders. Scores of American leaders have fueled the fire of this oppression.

America was born a Christian nation - America was born to exemplify that devotion to the elements of righteousness which are derived from the revelations of Holy Scripture.

President Woodrow Wilson, 1911 (emphasis added.)

American life is builded, and can alone survive, upon...[the] fundamental philosophy announced by the Savior nineteen centuries ago.

President Herbert Hoover, 1931 (emphasis added.)

And finally, President Harry Truman arrogantly stated in 1947 to Pope Pius XII without compromise, "This IS a Christian nation." (emphasis added.)

The American populace has been subjugated to this rhetoric since its inception; however, today, it seems enough is enough. President Barack Obama has stated repeatedly over the past couple of years that America is, in fact, "not" a Christian nation. This was not simply a campaign stump quote, but rather his true belief. He stated this as a U.S. Senator, as a Presidential Candidate, and, most recently, as President while visiting the Muslim nation of Turkey.

Moreover, Circuit Judge Thomas Wingate just yesterday, August 26, 2009, ruled that Kentucky's office of Homeland Security could NOT have the phrase "dependence on Almighty God as being vital to the security of the commonwealth" in its reports. "This is the very reason the Establishment Clause was created; to protect the minority from the oppression of the majority," Wingate surmised (emphasis added.)

These beliefs are in direct contrast to our founders and proof positive that America is waking up to the notion that our nation's history is, in and of itself, unconstitutional. As is clear by the statements of these two leaders, America's founding fathers were emphatically and categorically WRONG!

...but what if they weren't?!

"ObamaCare" Is Our Temptation in the Wilderness

If you are not a follower of Jesus Christ, then this story may seem either odd or even crazy, but, as the real evidence proves, it's true.

Around the age of 32, Jesus began his earthly ministry by seeking the one who was to come before him...John the Baptist (contrary to popular opinion, I don't believe the evidence points to John as the origin of the Baptist denomination...and I am a Southern Baptist.) The reason Christ sought out John was to give those of us who followed him millenniums later a picture of salvation and an act to follow...Baptism. As the Lord arose from the water, a picture and foreshadowing of his soon-to-be earthly resurrection, God descended upon Him in the form of a dove and spoke, "this is My Son, in whom I am well pleased." From here, Christ embarked on a journey that few Christians have ever experienced on their own...a 40-day period of solitude, fasting and, as was the case, temptation.

In the Gospel of Matthew, we read the story of what took place. As Jesus was preparing to share His precious gift of salvation to the world, Satan, the antithesis of Christ, approached Christ in what he hoped was a moment of weakness...hunger. There, Satan offered Jesus the opportunity to "prove" His deity and turn the stones to bread. Jesus chose to remain in the presence of His Heavenly Father.

Satan, not easily deterred, struck at the identity and holiness of Christ and demanded proof once again.

If you are the Son of God," he said, "throw yourself down. For it is written: 'He will command his angels concerning you, and they will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.

Matthew 4:6 (NIV)

Again, Jesus did not cower to the evil one's desires, and, this time, took the opportunity to speak with a bit more force - "It is also written: 'Do not put the Lord your God to the test.'" Matthew 4:7 (NIV).

Finally, Satan tried one last time to gain power over the Son of God. This time he promised Jesus the world...all of the governments, all of the cities and civilations...to rule them all. The only catch...bow down and worship Satan instead of the Creator. It was at this time Jesus had enough, and with a voice that, I can only imagine, made the earth shake, He, the One to be worshiped, commanded, "Away from me, Satan! For it is written: 'Worship the Lord your God, and serve him only.'" Matthew 4:10 (NIV). Satan left!

Now, bear with me as I draw a parallel - one I believe is fair, accurate and one I believe MUST be made.

Last Friday night in Mt. Pleasant, Texas, a small town nestled in the woods between Dallas and Texarkana, a town hall meeting was called to discuss the effects of the current healthcare legislation being pushed in Congress, and promoted around the nation by our President. Two doctors, both with extensive experience in government ran healthcare, and a local insurance agent spoke as experts (especially since they had easily read more of the 1,000+ page bill than any of our elected officials) and shared the danger within. After they finished, as is customary with normal town hall meetings, not the likes our President attempts to host with scripted questions and "by invitation only" attendance, the public was welcomed to make comments and ask questions. One such local citizen, Bill Priefert, founder of Priefert Ranch Equipment, voiced his concern.

"What would you give to ensure your child or grandchild received fast, accurate and reliable healthcare in time of need," Priefert questioned. "Would you give up your guns? Of course you would! Would you give up your home or farm or business? Absolutely! You would give whatever it took to take care of your family." Mr. Priefert concluded, "whoever stands between your grandchildren and their healthcare controls you. We are all about to become slaves."

I was thrown back by that thought process. Not because I disagreed, but because it was so eerily correct. I have two beautiful daughters, whom, if given the opportunity, will grow up and bring forth wonderful, beautiful grandchildren. I would give my life for that to happen. I really would.

As Jesus was being tempted in the wilderness, Satan kept throwing little bones, trying to find His breaking point. Obama knows our breaking point is our family, especially our kids. How does he know this? Because, he is human, and he would do the same for his girls. The difference is he won't have to...they will be taken care of.

You and I are different. We don't have a golden parachute or Cadillac insurance that will sustain us, our children and our grandchildren. We are stuck...

...or are we?

Jesus simply told Satan where to go (for lack of a better cliche!) Jesus knew who was really in control...He was. He knew Satan could offer all he wanted, but the truth was, he didn't have that authority. By virtue of creation, Jesus Christ, who was, is and always will be God, is owner, operator and chief executive of all things here on earth, above and below.

The founders of this country understood that philosophy. They were well versed in two forms of government...tyranny (complete government control) and anarchy (mob rule.) When Jefferson, Adams, Rush and the like gathered to discuss which form they desired to rule, they were well versed in both Biblical and historical precedent. The Israelites were examples to the Anglo-Saxen, and, thus, both were examples to Colonial America. "People's Rule," meaning, the people would choose from among them who represented them. This was the advice Jethro gave Moses when dealing with the children of Israel in the wilderness. And so, America's republic was born.

"We the People of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union,... do..." what?

What do we do? What will you do? We are the ones with the authority, according to our founding documents. We are the ones who find our strength, hope and future in God, not the government, and thus, we are the ones who are free because it is our right to be so. We are now facing our day in the wilderness. The government is constantly tempting us to take this or that so we might be appeased, but the truth is that once we take it, we are, as Mr. Priefert put it, "slaves." Satan knew that if he could get Jesus to just take one offer, it would be over. Fortunately for all of humanity, Jesus Christ was stronger than His tempter.

The question now becomes...are we? Don't take one bite, or it will all be over!

Please pass this along to everyone you know so that they can in turn do the same. We must inform the masses. Thanks for letting me be a part!
