They Are Still There and They Still Need Your Help

The Church Under Siege

As Dr. Dixon's put it, the church appealed to the courts for a "stay of execution" pending a final ruling from the Supreme Court. The court refused to grant the stay. So the church appealed to the Court of Heaven and he has overruled the lower courts of men by granting the church a stay of 47 days.

As the church continues to stand I have been working at my end, writing newspapers, getting signatures, etc. But God has convicted me and I feel led of the Holy Spirit to bring this breach of Constitutionalism and attack against the Lord's Church to your attention once again.

December 28th's Indianapolis Star reported that Pastor Greg A. Dixon has "asked for help from incoming president George W. Bush." The Star also reports that Dubya refuses to comment let alone commit.

In the same article Head Marshal Frank Anderson was asked if he thought he would be instructed to discard Judge Barker's order by the incoming Bush administration. He was quoted as saying that Dubya's administration will have "nothing to do with this."

George Dubya Bush "talks the talk" about having a "personal faith in Jesus Christ." He used that line till he wore it out in an attempt to get our votes. But when it comes time to put that "faith" into action it appears that George Dubya does NOT "walk the walk."

Galatians 6:10 commands the Christian: "As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith."

As President-Elect and "Media Darling" of the United States George Dubya Bush HAS the opportunity to do good to the Lord's Church in Indianapolis. Unfortunately, he chooses not to do so.

I suggest that you write Mr. Bush and Mr. Cheney on behalf of IBT and encourage them to practice the "faith" they so vocally professed to obtain the "Christian vote." You can obtain contact info at http://www.bushchaneytransition.com/

Mr. Bush claims to read his Bible every day. When you write ask him to read James 2:17-18 in a KJV Bible: "Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone. Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: show me thy faith without thy works, and I will show thee my faith by my works."

Ask that he and Mr. Cheney show us their "faith" by speaking out on behalf of Indianapolis Baptist Temple, speaking out for religious liberty, championing the First Amendment, and calling for the immediate impeachment of the Dishonorable Sarah Evans Barker.

Dr. Dixon pointed out in an E-mail a few days ago that in America we have "religious freedom Communist Chinese style." The "Constitution" of Communist China "guarantees religious freedom" so long as the "church" is registered, obtains permits to build and expand, and submits to all laws the regime passes to control them.

Now in America it seems we have religious freedom only if a church registers with the IRS and secretary of state in their appropriate state, obtains permits to build and expand their building, and submits to an ever increasing number of laws.

But unlike in China, our government hasn't brought out the bulldozers or opened the concentration camps - YET - so most "preachers" and pew warmers can't make the connection as clearly as Dr. Dixon has.

Will it take ski-mask wearing Jack-booted Federal Thugs (i.e. agents) battering-ramming down the doors to the Lord's Church, dragging the bride-to-be of Christ from the alter, and desecrating God's sanctuary before American Christians will get the point? Or will we begin to stand and fight now while there is still something to preserve (both in Indianapolis and as a nation)?

TO BRING IT ALL HOME

As I was writing the above the phone rang. It was from Indianapolis. Dr. Dixon has asked me to return. He just completed a meeting with Head Marshal Frank Anderson and Anderson told him that he just received an order from top levels of the Clinton Administration to raid the church BEFORE January 20th. This is before Bush takes office.

Dr. Dixon fears they may strike early next week before the church has time to "rally the troops" from around the nation.

Bubba/Reno began their 8 year reign of terror which the media and history will call "the Clinton Administration" by burning a church in Texas, killing innocent children in the process - a sin that they never repented of. They will now end their reign by destroying an Independent Baptist church in Indianapolis, Indiana.

I honestly believe that if Mr. Bush would get on television and show us a little of that "compassionate conservatism" as he exposes the evil intentions of the Clintons that the Marshals would stand down.

I also believe that NOW is the time to stop whatever you are doing and go to the battle. Don't make excuses. Just GO! Don't be a COWARD. Just GO!

Rouse then soldier
Rally round the banner
Ready
Steady
Pass the word along
Onward
Forward
Shout aloud HOSANA
Christ is Captian of the mighty throng.

I've already got my plane ticket to Indianapolis.

If you are driving take exit 2a (north) off the loop and drive a few miles until you see the K-mart. The Temple is behind the K-mart.

Marchers Trample Clinton Peace Bid

By Dan Ephron

JERUSALEM - More than 100,000 people marched with blue-and-white Israeli flags into Jerusalem's Old City yesterday to protest President Clinton's peace plan, sounding what may have been a death knell for a deal before Mr. Clinton leaves office.

A top Palestinian negotiator also declared his rejection of the plan, providing further cause for gloom, although Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat has not yet announced his final decision.

Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak, who has accepted the Clinton plan as a basis for negotiations, also appears resigned to failure. In a televised news conference with American reporters yesterday, he said he was ready to unilaterally separate Israelis and Palestinians over the next two years.

Israelis began gathering at the Old City's Jaffa gate in the late afternoon in an extraordinary show of force by the country's conservative camp, which by all signs is set to capture power in next month's election.

The protesters poured into the city from Israeli towns and West Bank settlements to gather before the stone walls of the Old City, many of them wrapped in Star of David flags.

From a stage overlooking the sea of demonstrators, Ehud Olmert, Jerusalem's Jewish mayor, lambasted Mr. Barak in Hebrew for agreeing to cede part of the city, and then switched to English to deliver his message in a language Mr. Clinton would understand.

"We are a nation with long memories that go back thousands of years," he thundered. "We never forgive those who dare to raise their hands against our most precious treasures."

Thousands of police were mobilized on foot and horseback to separate the marchers from the Palestinians, who huddled in small groups in corners where the city's Jewish and Arab sectors meet and waited for the protest to end. "They'll go home in a few hours, but the mess they made will remain," said Mohammed Riad, pointing to a mound of discarded placards and stickers.

A few miles away, in the West Bank town of Ramallah, Palestinian officials spurned Mr. Clinton's ideas and said Palestinian demands had been largely ignored.

The speaker of the Palestinian parliament, Ahmed Qurie, said Mr. Clinton's plan was unacceptable because of flaws including its failure to guarantee unqualified Palestinian sovereignty over the Temple Mount - which Palestinians call the Noble Sanctuary.

Palestinians also are deeply troubled by the plan's refusal to allow for a return by Palestinian refugees to homes in what is now Israel.

"We can't accept Clinton's ideas as a basis for future negotiations or a future settlement. Clinton didn't take Arafat's reservations into account, and these ideas don't offer our people their legitimate rights," Mr. Qurie said.

Chief Palestinian negotiator Saeb Erekat added that any talks must be based on U.N. resolutions calling for an Israeli withdrawal from the land it won in war and a return of the Palestinian refugees to Israel.

Despite the setbacks, Secretary of State Madeleine K. Albright insisted during a visit to the United Nations yesterday that the Clinton administration would continue to work for a settlement "for as long as we are in office." She said special envoy Dennis Ross would return to the region today, "and he is going to do everything he can to narrow the differences."

But some Israeli officials predicted that, with an agreement appearing out of reach, the United States would now ask the two sides to sign a watered-down version of the Clinton proposal that could serve as the basis for future talks. That might be the focus of Mr. Ross' efforts, they said.

Mr. Clinton's proposal, a modification of ideas Israelis and Palestinians discussed at a failed Camp David summit nearly six months ago, calls for Palestinians to take charge of the Temple Mount, a site of deep religious significance to both sides, but give up any hope of returning to homes in Israel.

It also proffers Palestinians a state in 94 percent to 96 percent of the West Bank and all of Gaza.

Both east and west Jerusalem have been under Israeli control since the 1967 Middle East war. Israel annexed East Jerusalem that year, and no Israeli leader dared suggest giving it back until Mr. Barak offered the Palestinians a neighborhood swap in the talks at Camp David.

The negotiations broke down over minutiae - the very details Mr. Clinton had sought to resolve with his latest proposal. But three months of Israeli-Palestinian fighting in the West Bank and Gaza have intensified the disputes and deepened the distrust.

"Arafat is a genocidal murderer, not a peace partner," read a sign held out by one demonstrator in the Old City who, like most in the crowd, wore a skullcap.

Other speakers summoned history in a way only Jews and Arabs can to validate Israel's hold over all of Jerusalem, including the eastern half of the city where 200,000 Palestinians live.

"Jews were here 1,700 years before the first Arab set foot on the soil of this land," said a rabbi addressing the crowd. "No one has the right to give up any part of this holy city. It belongs to the entire Jewish people."

The remark echoed the position of Palestinians, who say Islamic shrines in the Old City are the property of all Muslims and cannot be subject to compromise. The shrines, the al-Aqsa mosque and the Mosque of Omar, sit on top of the Temple Mount, the platform on which the ancient Jewish Temple had been perched until it was destroyed some 2,000 years ago.
