More on Lewis and Clark

Stephen Nielsen

What an incredible journey they had! I will continue on from the last blog I wrote on this.

So many times they nearly lost their lives—by Indians, grizzly bears, falling off cliffs (this happened to Lewis twice), illness, etc.

Most of the time they had plenty to eat, because of the expert hunters they had with them, who shot deer and buffalo. But some of the time, when they were in the mountains, they had little. They ate dogs and their horses. Lewis got to like dog meat, but Clark did not. They also, being always on the river, caught fish.

Both Lewis and Clark were good at healing people with natural means. When the squaw Sacagawea was sick, Lewis used barks, laudanum and sulfur water from a spring, and within a day her fever vanished. Other times they used choke cherry juice to heal. When they were among…

The Gospel Will Not be Banned in Israel

Stephen Nielsen

Netanyahu recently assured Christians and believing Jews that the Gospel would not be banned in Israel as it was feared to be by two Knesset members. I think Netanyahu is very wise and also not antagonistic against Christians as some are. Praise God for that. And because of this leniency, Christians ought to be praying for Israel now while the door of the gospel is open. You can read the following article for the updated news.

Netanyahu: Israel Won’t Pass Anti-Christian Law

American conservative and Christian voices had decried proposed bill targeting “missionaries,” but it was largely much ado about nothing.

By Israel Today Staff, Mar 23, 2023

Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahuon Wednesday sought to calm Israel’s Christian supporters by reassuring them that neither his government nor any other Israeli government was going to pass a law prohibiting the preaching of the Gospel in the Jewish state.

Praying for Equal Retribution for the Enemies of Trump

Stephen Nielsen

I read the following verses this morning:

Psalm 7:15-16

15 He who digs a hole and scoops it out

falls into the pit he has made.

16 The trouble he causes recoils on himself;

his violence comes down on his own head.

Proverbs 26:27

27 If a man digs a pit, he will fall into it;

if a man rolls a stone, it will roll back on him.

These verses hold the biblical principle of Equal Retribution: that if a man digs a pit for another to fall into, or if he sets a trap for another, he will end up falling into it or being trapped by his own trap. I have read these verses over and over and they seem pretty definite. That is, the evil one who tries to trap or destroy another, it will spring back on him.

MAGA

I immediately thought of what is…

Will Trump really be arrested?

Stephen Nielsen

Trump thinks he will be arrested this Tuesday. Most good people think that this is a terrible thing–to see a former President be arrested for a misdemeanor. And they say it is all political, and they are doing it to try to prevent him from running for President again. Please I urge you to pray that the right thing will be done–that justice will be done according to what is God’s will. Please read the following article.

Will the Christian Gospel be Banned in Israel?

Stephen Nielsen

Not all Jews are against Christians or the Christian faith. But there are a few liberals who are. Please pray for this situation in Israel that our religious freedom would not be hindered. Israel needs to hear the gospel like all others who are now blinded by the devil. Please read this article by Joel Rosenberg.

EXCLUSIVE: Two Knesset members propose legislation to outlaw sharing the Gospel in Israel and send violators to prison – could it become law?

Former Trump-Pence official warns bill poses massive threat to free speech, human rights and religious freedom

Joel C. Rosenberg | March 19, 2023

JERUSALEM, ISRAEL – Is it possible that the Israeli government this year could pass legislation making it illegal for people to share the Gospel message in the very land where Jesus was born, raised, preached, died, buried and rose from the dead?

Unfortunately, yes.

As Palm Sunday and…

Update: Bud Grant

Stephen Nielsen

Bud Grant–Vikings Football coach

Today is kind of an off-day. I mean, I have some health concerns: a headache, numbness in my fingers, a little dizziness. But I am trying not to worry about it. I’m trying to get an appointment at the VA. Anyway, I’m just trusting the Lord in whatever happens.

Bud Grant. He was the Minnesota Vikings football coach for a long time, and he just died at 95. He was such a good coach. I recently heard that he was the only player ever to play both for the NBA and the NFL before going into coaching. And as a coach he was a real disciplinarian. He was all about doing everything right—no mistakes. I heard that he didn’t care much for celebrities. He didn’t care at all for Mohammed Ali—too much of a braggart. Grant was very stoic and a humble man. Such a good…

What is the goal of the Jan 6 Investigations?

Stephen Nielsen

What is the goal? Destroy Donald Trump? Or something even more hideous? Read this article.

What the Jan. 6 Revelations Confirm About the Left’s Ominous Agenda

The larger, more insidious goal at the heart of the Democrats’ “investigation”.

March 10, 2023, byRobert Spencer

What was the point of the Democrats’ Jan. 6 hoax? Now that Tucker Carlson has provided abundant confirmation (with more on the way) that there was no “insurrection” on Jan. 6, 2021, and that the Democrat leadership knew full well that there wasn’t even as they went full-throttle with their narrative, the question is inevitable: why? What were Leftists hoping to accomplish? Some obvious answers are that they hoped to destroy Donald Trump as a political force once and for all and discredit and demoralize his supporters. But there was clearly a larger, more insidious goal as well: the Democrats hoped with their fabricated Jan. 6…

Who Are the real Villains?

Stephen Nielsen

Some people are sitting in jails—even in solitary confinement—just because they went to a Trump rally, marched over to the Capital, and dared to wear a red Trump MAGA hat. Many have been sitting in there for over a year and haven’t been charged with anything yet.

Why is this happening? I think it is because they—the DOJ—wants to send a message. They want all people to know that if they side with trump this is what could happen to them too. I think this sound a little like what happened to the newly released negro slaves back in Woodrow Wilson’s time. They wanted them to be fearful of voting Republican so they sent the Ku Klux Klan after them and hung many of them.

Now who are the real villains?

Let Us See All of the January 6 Videos

Stephen Nielsen

Here you see a policeman walking behind Jacob Chansley, directing him where to go in the Capitol building.

On the front-page caption of Saint Paul’s Pioneer Press it read: “Tucker Carlson uses new video to rewrite Capitol riot narrative.” NO! That is not true. That video is not new; it was just not used. Carlson is just now introducing it as part of the video that had been hidden from the public.

Now let’s go to the article. The writers of the Associated Press said that Carlson was “working to bend perceptions of the violent, grueling siege that played out for the world to see into a narrative favorable to Donald Trump.”

NO again! The video that Carlson played was in an effort to show exactly what happened—to show the truth!

The video clip I am referring to (pictured above) shows Jacob Chansley (with horns outfit) being escorted by the…
