(Editor’s Note: When our website went down on June 15 in which we sent out our daily Trumpet on Line publication, we, in our ignorance of computer sites thought that Word Press was just making changes and that it was up to us to figure out how to use the new format. Little did we know that we were the victim of our first cyber attack, a term that had not been in our realm of knowledge until recently. After not being able to contact our web master I decided to concentrate on other things, so I included the following paragraphs in a letter to the Biblical Law Center mailing list.)
Dear Brethren and Friends, In my e mail that I sent last night - June 17- to the Biblical Law Center mailing list, the following paragraph dealt with the Trumpet-on ...

Churches should consider giving up their tax-exempt status if keeping it means allowing the government to tell them what to say, says Mike Huckabee.
The former Arkansas governor, GOP presidential candidate, and current Fox News talk show host also is an ordained Baptist minister. He made the comment on Monday during a minister’s conference in Houston, Texas, ahead of the annual Southern Baptist Convention meeting.
“Keep your deductions. Keep the exemptions. We stand more faithful with what God would have us to say, and we choose our freedom more than our financial benefit,” Huckabee said, according to Associated Baptist Press.
Recent revelations that the Internal Revenue Service has been targeting groups that are conservative and pro-Israel should be an alert to people of faith, Huckabee said. The Thomas More Society has complained that IRS officials asked anti-abortion groups in Texas and Iowa about ...

It seems the U.S. Government agrees with Turkey (that heads the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, a body of 57 nations) that has demanded a resolution prohibiting any criticism of Islam. Turkish Prime Minister Erdogan belched that the “West hasn’t recognized Islamophobia as a crime against humanity.” First of all there is no such word as “Islamophobia.” It was cobbled together by fanatics to suggest that any criticism of Islam constitutes fear and hatred of the “peaceful” religion of Islam. Erdogan and Muslim stooges demand that the U.N. should “Ban criticism of Muslims worldwide.” Our cowardly, complicit, and cooperating leaders are now trying to implement that nefarious policy.
Wonder what Muslim and U.S. leaders fear from criticism? They don’t want anyone demanding an explanation for the distortion, destruction, and death that has pulsated through Islam ...

WND - June 11, 2013
In the recorded conversation, IRS agent Sherry Wan tells Ania Joseph: “You cannot, you know, use your religious belief to tell other people you don’t have a belief, so I don’t believe you need the right to do this, start confrontation, protesting, uh, prot, uh, protest. … You don’t apply for tax exemption.” ADF Senior Legal Counsel Erik Stanley said the IRS “is a tax collector; it shouldn’t be allowed to be the speech and belief police.” “The current scandal isn’t new but has merely exposed the abuse of power that characterizes this agency and threatens our fundamental freedoms,” he said. Pro-Life Revolution, headquartered in Texas, said it operates for religious, educational and charitable purposes. It applied for tax-exempt status in January 2011. Four months later, it received a letter from the ...

WASHINGTON — The National Security Agency already has access to all the content of intercepted emails and phone calls, not just the “metadata” such as who contacted who, when and where, Defense sources have told WND. The sources confirm President Obama’s effective admission Friday that the government is indeed collecting the content of calls. WND reported, Obama said that “if anybody in government wanted to go further than just that top-line data and wanted to, for example, listen to Jackie Calmes’ phone call, they’d have to go back to a federal judge and, and, and indicate why, in fact, they were doing further – further probing.” The president essentially said the NSA has access to the content and he is asking the public to trust the spy agency would go to a judge for ...
