Published Monday, April 29, 2024 NO MEETING THIS WEEK NEXT MEETING May 8 AMERICA's CHRISTIAN CREDIT UNION BOB LINN Global Impact of Unsettled Theology From Columbia University to Chaos in Oklahoma In lumine Tuo videbimus lumen is Columbia University’s motto.  It is a Latin translation of a Hebrew text. In English, Psalms 36:9 says: In Thy light do we see light. THE SEAL OF COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY Yahweh, one of the names of God, adorns the very top of the Columbia seal. At the bottom of the logo is I Peter 2:1,2: So put away all malice and all deceit and hypocrisy and envy and all slander.  Like newborn infants, long for the pure spiritual milk, that by it, you may grow up to salvation if indeed you have tasted that the Lord is good. The banner flowing to the left contains a Hebrew phrase: The Light of God Columbia University graduate, Dr. Joel Chodo, was fascinated with all the Biblical allusions in the seal of Columbia University. In 1979, he wrote a detailed article on its details. Find it here. Eight of Columbia’s Presidents have been Christian ministers. Though not a minister, Columbia’s 17th President (1980-1993) stands in sharp contrast to the student militants who now occupy Columbia.  Dr. Michael Sovern was of Jewish descent with an honorary Doctorate from Tel Aviv University.  Columbia’s students have brought Columbia to its knees and touted themselves as the university's financiers.  They are ignorant of the economic provisions set in place by this Jewish President who brought the university into solvency by quadrupling the endowments to Columbia during his tenure.  They can thank not themselves, but a Jew for the financial undergirding of the ground they occupy. In addition, they could learn some humility and appreciate the work Dr. Sovern did for humanity and civil society by developing practices eliminating racial discrimination through his achievements at the Twentieth Century Fund think tank. These students, by threatening the safety of Columbia’s students of Hebrew descent, have turned the very essence of Columbia University’s founding ideals on their head.  As Oklahoma’s own Dr. Everett Piper wrote this weekend: Their slogans are little but window dressing for a brutal form of dominance that accepts no dissent. These self-styled advocates of “freedom and peace” are interested only in tyranny and power. Noting the ironies at play given the ideological roots of Columbia, Dr. Piper went on to say: These are times when students at schools such as Columbia University, whose motto is the Jewish psalm “In Thy light shall we see the light,” proudly vilify Jews and align with those who deny their holocaust, rape their women, behead their babies and call for the destruction of the millenniums-old Jewish state . . . Third Reich antisemitism is now elevated to the status of virtue, to our places of work, where ordinary Americans can be put out of business for advocating the wrong causes in their private life, no place is safe from the vindictive rage and perpetual adolescence of this new Red Guard. Subscribe to the Washington Times here. Of the eight pastors who served as president of Columbia, six of them served during the seventy-five-year span from its founding in 1754 through the end of the tenure of Rev. William Harris in 1829. In the nearly 200 years since, only two of the Presidents of Columbia have been pastors. The ideological drift of Columbia parallels the drift of America.  The troubles which accompany the departure from Biblical foundations have manifested as a national cancer.  It has spread across the nation as represented in the headlines of our news. Columbia’s ideological drift is Oklahoma’s drift. Our own universities have hosted the racist protests of the Palestinian Liberation Movement. We have accommodated their shouts of hate for Israel, and their list of demands to the universities.  Watch them demonstrate last October at O.U. here. Last month the university’s Student Coalition for Palestinian Liberation demonstrated on campus at O.U. Find it here. Anti-semitism has been part and parcel of Soviet propaganda since Lenin. In 1953, Stalin publicly accused members of the Jewish medical community of a conspiracy to murder high-ranking members of the Soviet government. The story was promoted by Pravda. For a more complete history, see National Review's January 2024 article the Soviet Roots of Anti-Zionism. Read it here. Our college campuses, including those in Oklahoma, are ablaze with Soviet propaganda. American youth appear defenseless against the leftist rhetoric sowing unrest in our midst. We recently hosted Xi Van Fleet, rescued from Mao’s Stalinist Revolution in China. She endured 18 years of the savagery of communism. In both her book Mao's America and in our January meeting, the stated: Only Christianity, not multiculturalism, will defeat communism. The pulpits, board rooms, and halls of government of Oklahoma must understand what eighteen years of suffering taught Xi Van Fleet. Like Solzhenitsyn’s Russia, America has forgotten God.  So has Oklahoma.  A return to our Christian foundations is the only path to solving our bleeding borders and the fragmented political, social unrest, and campus insanity. A Swedish Immigrant who never forgot God The great American poet from Illinois, Carl Sandburg, son of poor Swedish immigrants, a hobo early in life, a barbershop porter, a brickyard hand, and a farm laborer, in time, discovered his gifting as a writer late in life. At sixty-five, he began his first novel. His poem, Prayers of Steel, reflects his desire to be an instrument in the hand of God, as he wrote: Lay me on an anvil, O God. Beat me and hammer me.   Sandburg also wrote to encourage us in our civic duties. He said: When a nation goes down, or a society perishes, one condition may always be found; they forgot where they came from … They lost sight of what had brought them along.    He admonished all Americans to not loose heart in the divine purposes God has for America. In an interview published in This Week Magazine on January 4, 1952, he said:   I see America, not in the setting sun of a black night of despair ahead of us. I see America in the crimson light of a rising sun fresh from the burning, creative hand of God.  I see great days ahead, great days possible to men and women of will and vision. We must commit our lives to be the instruments God uses to mold history in the anvil of his divine providence.  That means choices as to how we spend our time and our wealth. Closing thoughts from Robert Frost The great American poet, Robert Frost could not have put the roles we play in history's destiny better than he did in his 1951 poem, Stopping by the Woods on a Snowy Evening. He read it in 1961 at the inauguration of President John F. Kennedy (JFK).  The poem is called and ends with these famous lines: The woods are lovely, dark and deep. But I have promises to keep, And miles to go before I sleep, And miles to go before I sleep. Much earlier, in 1915, he had written the lines which calls all mankind to choose the pathways life presents wisely.  The poem titled The Road not Taken says, in part: Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, And sorry I could not travel both . . . I shall be telling this with a sigh Somewhere ages and ages hence: Two roads diverged in a wood, and I— I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference. America has never been so divided as to what our future path should be than it is today. If we are to continue to be the world's hope of political liberty, it will require bold action on our part if we are to reverse America's trajectory toward tyranny at all levels of government and society. In December of 1952, The New Yorker magazine published the review of a Robert Frost television interview where he articulated one of his most famous quotes. With much conviction, Robert Frost said: Freedom lies in being bold. A part of that boldness is simply not acquiescing to the lies which enveloped old Russia. The lies of the tyrant never vary and it is our duty to articulate Christian ideology to contradict the lies. We meet again next week (May 8) at the History Center to be introduced to banking opportunities enabling us to avoid the tyranny of Environmental Social Governance (ESG) inherent in the major sectors of the financial markets today. If you missed what our very bold Todd Russ is doing, be sure to view his presentation to us below. God bless. IF YOU MISSED . . . TODD RUSS This was a very special meeting.

Essential Guide To Safe Well Water Maintenance

If your home relies on well water, ensuring its safety and quality is your direct responsibility. Contaminated well water can harbor harmful bacteria, viruses, and chemicals that pose serious health risks. This comprehensive guide will arm you with the knowledge and best practices to maintain your well and ensure your family's drinking water is safe.

Why Well Water Maintenance Matters

• Health Protection: Well water must be free from contaminants that can cause illness, particularly for vulnerable populations like infants, the elderly, or those with compromised immune systems.
• Long-Term Well Functionality: Preventative maintenance prolongs the life of your well system, reducing costly repairs and replacements.
• Peace of Mind: Staying on top of well inspection and management allows you to trust the water you drink and use.

Key Steps for Maintaining Your Well

1. Well Construction and Location

• Professional Installation: Hire licensed well drillers to ensure proper construction, preventing surface water contamination.
• Safe Site: The well should be situated away from potential contamination sources like livestock areas, septic systems, or chemical storage.
• Uphill Placement: Wells installed on a slope should be uphill from contamination sources.

2. Regular Well Inspections

• Annual Checkups: Schedule yearly inspections with a qualified well contractor to assess your system's overall condition.
• Look for Changes: Monitor your well for any signs of damage, including cracks in the casing, a damaged or missing well cap, or pooling water near the wellhead.
• Professional Assistance: If you detect any issues, contact a well professional immediately for repair.

3. Water Testing

• Annual Testing (Minimum): Test your water for bacteria and nitrates at least once a year with a certified lab.
• Contamination Suspicions: Immediately test your water if you notice changes in taste, odor, or color.
• Nearby Activities: Test more frequently if activities near your well increase the risk of contamination (e.g., agriculture, new construction).

4. Maintaining the Wellhead

• Secure and Sanitary Well Cap: Ensure your well cap is tightly sealed and free of cracks. It should have a vermin-proof screen over the vent.
• Ground Slope: The ground around the well should slope away to prevent water pooling.
• Keep it Clear: Maintain a clutter-free area around the well to limit pest habitats and simplify inspection.

5. Protecting Your Well from Contamination

• Safe Distances: Keep known contamination sources (septic systems, livestock, fertilizer storage) well away from your well, following your local regulations for distances.
• Mindful Chemical Use: Avoid using pesticides, herbicides, or fertilizers near the well.
• Proper Waste Disposal: Never dispose of hazardous, chemical, or medical waste near your well.

Additional Tips

• Well Records: Keep detailed records of well construction, testing results, and any repairs or maintenance.
• Treatment Systems: If water tests indicate contamination, consider installing a suitable water treatment system.
• Unused Wells: Decommission abandoned wells according to professional guidelines to protect groundwater.

The Importance of Professional Well Contractors

Always seek the expertise of licensed well contractors and pump installers for construction, repairs, and in-depth inspections. They possess the knowledge and tools to keep your well system operating effectively and safely.

By diligently following these guidelines, you'll significantly safeguard your family's health and ensure the longevity of your well water supply.

Christian Nationalism

Christian Nationalism

Published Monday, April 22, 2024 NO MEETING THIS WEEK NEXT MEETING May 8 AMERICA's CHRISTIAN CREDIT UNION BOB LINN Christian Nationalism an American Tradition Preserving America's Christian Nationalism Will Sustain Our Future On October 25, 2023, Congressman Mike Johnson, the newly elected Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives, spoke of divine providence and the rise of nations.  He said: I believe that God has ordained and allowed each one of us to be brought here for this specific moment and this time. In response to those comments, the national news agencies sounded the alarm that America was now at great risk from white Christian nationalists. Among the complaints from the political left was that Congressman Mike Jordan, a white Christian Nationalist, was willing to make such shocking statements in the U.S. Legislature and was only two steps from the Presidency. (Should the President & the Vice President be incapacitated, the Speaker of the House would become President.) Far-left filmmaker, Rob Reiner, said to his 2.5 million "X" followers: Christian Nationalism is not only a danger to our Country, it’s a danger to Christianity itself.” America was founded by Christian nationalists They rejected secular ideology as a foundation for governments. They did not erect pagan nationalism.  They were Christian, not secular. They were nationalists, not globalists. In a letter from John Adams to Thomas Jefferson regarding the influence of Christianity on the nation: The general principles on which the fathers achieved independence were the principles of Christianity. The principles of Christianity are as eternal and immutable as the existence of God.  Without religion, this world would be something not fit to be mentioned in polite company. Founding Father and signatory to the U.S. Declaration of Independence, Dr. Benjamin Rush wrote in 1791: In contemplating the political institutions of the United States, I lament that we profess to be republicans, and yet we neglect the only means of establishing and perpetuating our republican forms of government through the universal education of our youth in the principles of Christianity, by means of the Bible. This divine book favors the virtues which constitute the soul of republicanism. ~Dr. Benjamin Rush The Defense of the Bible as a Schoolbook AMERICA'S INSTITUTIONS PRESUPPOSE CHRISTIANITY The fourth Supreme Court Justice of the United States and principle founder of the U.S. system of constitutional law, John Marshall (1755-1835), wrote: It would be strange indeed if our institutions did not presuppose Christianity. ~Dreisbach and Hall Sacred Rights of Conscience THE BIBLE WAS THE SINGLE MOST QUOTED DOCUMENT IN THE FOUNDING ERA One of the most thorough examinations of the American founding era (1760-1805) was done by Indiana University professor, Dr. Charles S. Hyneman and his associate, Dr. Donald S Lutz. Dr. Lutz and Dr. Hyneman reviewed 15,000 political documents from the founding era of America. Their study was published in 1988 and revealed that the single most quoted source of the American Founding Fathers was the Bible at 34%. ~Dr. Donald Lutz The Origins of American Constitutionalism Republican President William Howard Taft (1857-1930) had stated in 1908, in part: No man can study the movement of modern civilization and not realize that the spread Christianity is the basis of modern civilization in the growth of popular self-government. The spirit of Christianity is equality of man before God — the equality of man before the law. Democrat President Woodrow Wilson warned in 1923:    We call ours a Christian civilization, a Christian conception of justice. Our civilization can be saved only by becoming permeated with the spirit of Christ and being made free and happy by the practices which spring out of that spirit. U.S. President Franklin Delano Roosevelt (FDR) wrote on August 22, 1942: The action taken today by your Government has hastened the coming of the inevitable victory of freedom over oppression, of Christian religion over the forces of evil and darkness. Democrat President Truman said, on August 28, 1947: This is a Christian Nation. Democrat President John F. Kennedy wrote to Brazil's President, January 31, 1961:   To each of us is entrusted the heavy responsibility of guiding the affairs of a nation founded on Christian ideals. The term Christian nationalism is new on the American landscape.  It has replaced an older phrase, Christian patriotism. It has been coined in an effort to make the idea of America as a Christian nation seem evil. Among those who have employed the term to vilify the Christian conscience of Americans is University of Oklahoma sociologist, Dr.  Samuel L. Perry. Four years ago, Dr. Samuel Perry joined a sociologist from Indiana University, Andrew Whitehead, to publish the book, Taking America Back for God: Christian Nationalism in the United States. In the book, they describe a Christian Nationalist as someone who promotes "a cultural framework that blurs distinctions between Christian identity and American identity, viewing the two as closely related and seeking to enhance and preserve their union." THERE IS NOTHING TO BE BLURRED! There is no such distinction in our founding era nor in any subsequent generation but this one. On October 27, 2023, article in Time magazine, featured Oklahoma University’s Dr. Perry as he further defined Christian Nationalism: First, Christian nationalism strongly favors traditionalist social relationships and hierarchies. This ideal society revolves around patriarchy, heterosexual marriage, and pronatalism. Dr. Kenneth Woodward in an article last month in First Things commented: Not at all obvious is what same-sex marriages, patriarchy, and encouraging couples to have children (pronatalism) have to do with being white or Christian or nationalist. Kenneth L. Woodward is was editor of the Religion section of Newsweek magazine from 1964 until his retirement in 2002. He now writes for First Things.  From the Founding era through the 20th century, Christian nationalism has been the backbone of American society.  The term is being used by secularists to mute voices of integrity and reason. A bit over a week ago, Oklahoma Baptist University (OBU) welcomed Dr. Russell Reno, editor of First Things Magazine.  Dr. Reno spoke to a group of OBU students and faculty on nationalism and Christianity. In closing, he made a statement I loved.  He said:   NATIONALISM IS THE CURE FOR DANGEROUS GLOBALISM The connection is fodder for another article. William J. Federer's recent article on Christian nationalism provided easy access to some of the quotes I used in this morning’s article.  Find his complete comments here. As Alexander Solzhenitsyn admonished his Russian patriots: Live not by lies And the great Russian author, Dostoevsky wrote: Social systems which have no Christian basis inevitably become systems of violence and slavery. BE FAITHFUL TO YOUR DIVINE CALLING! Let us not allow leftist bullies to terminate our calling to make disciples of every nation (Matthew 28), fulfilling his often-repeated promises to Abraham that every nation will be blessed through him. "Behold my covenant is with you, and you shall be the father of a multitude of nations." Genesis 17:4 "Of Abraham, who is the father of us all, it is written, 'I have made you the father of many nations.'" Romans 4:16, 17 "Go therefore and make disciples of all nations." Matthew 28:19 "Many nations shall come and say: 'Come, let us go to the mountain of the Lord.'" Micah 4:2 "Its lamp is the Lamb and by its light the nations will walk." Revelation 21:23, 24 LAST WEEK TODD RUSS This was a very special meeting. Watch Todd Russ speak here. Watch the entire meeting here. COMING!!! WEDNESDAY MAY 8, 2024 OCPAC FOUNDATION is a 501 (c) (3).
