• ‘We Were Heartbroken’: Wounded Warrior Project Reportedly Refused to Take Church’s ‘Religious in Nature’ Donation

  February 3, 2013 at 8:52pm

  Around noon today WWP started replying to inquiries on their facebook page about the church rejection by pasting this to every post.

  “We did turn down this potential fundraiser because it did not fit several of our giving guidelines for community events. Unfortunately, we mistakenly communicated to the church that the event was turned down because we do not accept donations from religious groups, which is not the case. We work with many diverse groups to honor and empower Wounded Warriors including religious groups. We have called the church to apologize for any confusion.”

  WWP’s facebook page is buzzing! This is one of my favorite posts from there.

  Let’s be clear. WWP believes the Playboy Mansion is a worthy partner to lend their WWP brand to, but a church is not. A place known for drunken orgies and objectifying women is a much better organization than a religious institution?

  Your modern 9mm ammo argument is what is “moot”.
  Seeing how the military is limited to NATO spec ball ammo anyway.

  What a dumb question! Who cares what it looks like? It’s a combat handgun for mercy’s sake.
  It’s the best platform for it’s purpose except I would opt for a Para-Ordnance P-14 and get twice the ammo capacity. Cera-Cote is the best finish, pick a color. Funny that Colt got the contract when everybody else had to show Colt how to improve the 1911 after 85 years of manufacturing it. I’m talking about Kimber, of coarse. Colt almost dried up and died after 1996 when Kimber started making better production 1911s than anyone. Probably just picked Colt for nostalgic reasons.

• Has God Ever Spoken to You Directly? TheBlaze Wants to Know About Your Most Intensely-Religious Experiences

  In my story above, I feel that the Father was making an impression on me that I would not forget since I have an affinity for charging ahead and not waiting on God to do his work, in His timing. I have heard the audible voice from time to time and even got in an argument once with the Holy Spirit over that affinity that I just mentioned. I was charging ahead to confront some people that were trashing me in church. I’m sure that I looked insane storming down the street and talking out loud as the Holy Spirit was telling me to stop and not confront these people. I relented and let it go and continued to not stand up for myself until it all blew up and the church split, the pastor quit and the truth all came out about the situation and that I had been grossly mistreated and the church members involved were shamed, to say the least. I backed off as I was instructed by the Holy Spirit and God worked it all out in the end without any of my meddling. During that time I was constantly reminded of the scripture from Isaiah 53:7 speaking of Jesus hundreds of years before He was born. “He was oppressed and afflicted, yet He opened not His mouth, he was led like a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is silent, so he did not open his mouth.” My example! I have heard the audible voice several times in mostly single words or short phrases. Mostly it’s an inner voice in my spirit that is not audible in my ears, but none the less, very clear.

  I was once in a very painful and stressful time in my life and spent all my spare time alone seeking the presence and wisdom of God. While sitting alone playing my guitar and talking to the Father, sensing His presence and feeling at peace, the words of a simple little song started coming to mind. I recognized the words from Isaiah 40:31 but they were coming to mind in a simple little song. I picked up the chords on my guitar and the next thing I knew I was singing this song. “they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; they shall walk, and not faint; teach me LORD, teach me LORD to wait.” The song sounded familiar, but to this day I do not know if it was brought to mind from memory of when I had learned it sometime in the past or was given to me at that moment by the Holy Spirit for the first time. I didn’t think too much about it while I was singing the short little song and then all of a sudden an adult Bald Eagle swooped down into view from my window and landed in a small tree in the neighbor’s back yard really close to where I was sitting. I didn’t make the connection at first but was just a little bit in awe of the sight of the eagle that came to pay me a visit. I ran outside to get a closer look but by the time I got out there he was gone. I went inside and resumed the song before I made the connection.

  You need to take your meds before posting and follow your own advice, Mr. Holier Than Thou.
  It’s not our fault you can’t tell the difference between right and wrong.

  Justice would be deportation of illegal aliens, according to the laws. Helping a “stranger” would refer to helping a homeless citizen or a citizen in need. Not a criminal invader. To follow the ideology set forth here would be suicide for a country that has already done more for others around the world than all other countries combined. And then no one is benefited and all is lost. I can’t be guilt tripped into doing the wrong thing, which is what these people are trying to do. Will I do all I can for another in need? Yes! Will I stand up for self destructive national policy? NO!
