PROPHETIC RESOLUTIONS?
Lately, at the instigation of a new friend, I’ve been revisiting the aberrant teachings of the New Age movement and its connection to globalism. In my Net perusing I happened upon the Southern Baptist Convention’s 1988 and 2000 resolutions denouncing it. Interestingly, we can see their prophetic warnings being increasingly solidified as we head into global chaos on a grand scale. I was happy to see the stand they took and thought I would post it for those who think Baptists, especially Southern Baptists, too legalistic. Each church is autonomous and can be diverse in many ways, but most try to uphold the standards of SBC resolutions.
Resolution On The New Age Movement
June 1988
WHEREAS, The philosophy proliferated by the New Age movement is as old as the Garden of Eden (Genesis 3), where Satan perpetrated three of the false beliefs of the New Age movement, promising you will be wise; you will be as gods; and you will not die; and
WHEREAS, The New Age movement gives people false hope by its beliefs (1) in reincarnation, (2) in endeavoring to reveal a person’s future through astrology, fortune telling, and palm reading, (3) in Universalism, the belief that there are many ways to eternal life, and that all will be saved, (4) by secular humanism, which testifies by its own manifesto, no deity will save us, we must save ourselves; and
WHEREAS, The media and entertainment industry gives the New Age movement widespread acceptance and credibility, helping it find its way into every facet of American life (i.e., literature, movies, television network programming, and music); and
WHEREAS, The New Age movement has become a powerful political, philosophical, and economic force in our contemporary culture and is exerting its influence into every facet of American life.
Therefore, be it RESOLVED, That we, the messengers of the Southern Baptist Convention, meeting in San Antonio, Texas, June 14-16, 1988, acknowledge the New Age movement’s aim to become a one-world religion is diametrically contrary to both New Testament Christianity and our American heritage; and
Be it finally RESOLVED, That we encourage our Convention agencies, local associations, pastors, and church staffs to warn and educate our Baptist constituency of the deception and critical dangers of this movement.
ON THE THREAT OF NEW AGE GLOBALISM
June 2000
WHEREAS, The New Age globalism movement advocates a one-world government, a one-world religion, and a one-world economy; and
WHEREAS, The success of New Age globalism would mean the destruction of the sovereignty of nations; and
WHEREAS, New Age globalism also poses a threat to the traditional family, proposing recognition of five genders (male, female, homosexual, bisexual, transsexual), wholesale abortion as a means of population control, and the elevation of the rights of children above parents, asserting that the state has the primary responsibility for the upbringing of children (Genesis 1:27; Leviticus 18:22; Psalm 139:13-16; Deuteronomy 6:4-9); and
WHEREAS, A key principle behind globalism is the philosophy of secular humanism, a foundational component of which is the belief that no religion can or does possess objective truth and that all religions are of equal worth; and
WHEREAS, The Christian faith is clear in stating that there is one God (1 Corinthians 8:4) and that faith in His Son is the only way of salvation (John 14:6); and
WHEREAS, Scripture teaches that God has marked the times and boundaries of the nations of the earth (Acts 17:26); and
Therefore, be it RESOLVED, That the messengers to the Southern Baptist Convention, meeting in Orlando, Florida, June 13-14, 2000, urge all Christians to become informed about New Age globalism; and
Be it further RESOLVED, That we urge Congress, the President, and other national leaders to guard our national sovereignty, to prevent the placement of American troops under foreign military command or direction, to scrutinize and reverse the trend toward globalism, and to resist its encroachments by certain elements within our own government, the United Nations, and other organizations; and
Be it further RESOLVED, That we urge our political, educational, business, and religious leaders to do all in their power to protect the traditional family and reject all assaults against the family which have proliferated through various conferences and organizations within the United Nations (e.g., the Fourth World Conference on Women, held in Beijing in 1995, and the Convention on the Rights of the Child) and other groups; and
Be it finally RESOLVED, That we implore Christians to give primary allegiance to the Lord Jesus Christ, to commit to serve Him at any cost, and to demonstrate love for country by praying and standing for national sovereignty.
SECRETS OF THE HEART
And Simeon blessed them and said to Mary his mother, “Behold, this child is appointed for the fall and rising of many in Israel, and for a sign that is opposed (and a sword will pierce through your own soul also), so that thoughts from many hearts may be revealed.” (Luke 2:34-35 ESV)
Have you ever really examined this verse closely? I woke up from my Christmas nap to find this scripture foremost in my mind. What was Simeon saying to Mary through the Holy Spirit?
After I meditated on it, I went to several commentaries to get other opinions. The word “child” is not in the original texts, but it makes little difference. I think I can safely express the thoughts I had upon awakening.
What Mary had not yet experienced was how her son would eventually be perceived by the world. He was to be a “man of sorrows, acquainted with grief” as Isaiah 53 tells us. Jesus gives us a glimpse of why He would be rejected and be a “sign that is opposed”:
“…For this purpose I was born and for this purpose I have come into the world–to bear witness to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth listens to my voice.” (John 18:37 ESV)
Did you catch that? The reason He came into the world was to “bear witness to the TRUTH.” In fact, “truth” plays a major role in His sufferings throughout His ministry and there are 87 verses containing the word “truth” that confirms this. He walked in truth because He is the truth:
“…I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” (John 14:6 ESV)
But as for ‘thoughts from many hearts may be revealed’, I can see why.
Even in our lives, speaking truth can make people uncomfortable, even angry, because light and truth are synonymous. When Jesus shone the light of truth on the actions of the Pharisees, they were angered because He shattered the pious façade they projected to the world and their hearts were revealed. Have you ever been in an impossible “Pharisee” situation and had no choice but to speak the truth to someone regarding a problem you might have with them, or a situation that needed correcting? If so, you understand the power of truth. It can hurt, it can heal, or it can divide, but it is necessary for us as Christians to place it in high regard because the Holy Spirit guides us daily through it.
When truth shines its light in the darkness, it uncovers the secrets of the heart. As we are commanded to walk in it, let us do so with the purest of intentions, and love.
“Therefore, having put away falsehood, let each one of you speak the truth with his neighbor, for we are members one of another.” (Ephesians 4:25 ESV)
THE HOME CHURCH CONTROVERSY
Disappearance of the Visible Church
By Victoria Day
Throughout the years I’ve seen Christian fads come and go. I was perplexed by the Prayer of Jabez because I knew many were taking this and using it as a magical formula to gain riches. I was dismayed at the enormous positive response of the Christian community toward an obviously unscriptural movie such as Mel Gibson’s The Passion. I stood my ground on the rebirth of the Jewish gematria under the guise of “bible codes.” Now we have a very divisive and destructive weapon against community churches. The threat comes from the house church movement. Yet another “divide and conquer” strategy of the enemy that may have dire consequences if left unchallenged.
As the wife of a pastor, I have carefully assessed the home church phenomena. If truth be told, before I was married, I have many times felt alienated in churches I have attended because of my differences over doctrine or dissatisfaction over minor points. Discouragement caused me to abandon the institutional church for periods of time. However, I understand clearly now why it is necessary for us to maintain our support for the visible church.
Abandoning our local church is not the answer. I have heard many disparaging remarks from proponents of the house church movement toward saints who want to attend them and frankly, I find it hypocritical to judge faithful brother and sisters in Christ who seek to please the Lord in this way. These people are believers working out their salvation with fear and trembling as are the house churchers, but I believe the house churchers are deceived.
Ask yourselves – who would like to see God’s visible local church disappear? SATAN! The tactic is to divide and conquer. Without the local presence of the Christian church, the local symbolism of the cross that draws the soul weary would also disappear! Where would a lone Christian go to worship? Where would a non-believer touched by the Holy Spirit in repentance turn to for answers? Certainly not a home church! I recognize that the early church did meet in homes of the wealthy, but also in the catacombs during times of persecution. In times of refreshing, they founded places of worship similar to Jewish temples. These “buildings” now served as places of Christian assembly that attracted more converts. The visibility of God’s church was a blessing in a pagan society.
Meeting in a building is a privilege. In other countries, the church must go underground to worship because of persecution of Christians. What’s our excuse? Have we in this country become so deceived that we think all churches are in apostasy? I know many are, but I can testify that if one looks hard enough one can still find a faithful pastor and a loving congregation that follows Christ and is pleasing to God. What I believe we may be seeing now is “the great falling away” of Thessalonians 2:3. The church is hurting, pews are empty, doors are closing, because people want to do it “their way” and abandon, not the building, but ultimately the people of the congregation. And this is God’s will?
Neither home churches nor community churches are perfect and both can have similar problems. Scripture tells us that the same problems existed in the early church as we have today. We are to assemble together and work on spiritual growth together and it is easier to do so within the biblical structure of church guidelines God provided in His Word.
I truly believe that the home church movement is a great deception and it is selfishly working against the visiblechurchofGod. If it continues, Satan and the New Agers will get their way: the visible church will become a rare sight in our communities and the symbol of the cross, that comforting emblem of God’s ultimate gift, will eventually disappear. Are you who abandon the visible church instead of blessing it willing to accept the responsibility for this?
Another point not usually considered is that most (almost all) “house churches” are started by disgruntled church goers. Did God really call them to the ministry? In my experience, I doubt it. It is more of an “I can do it better” attitude that doesn’t follow scriptural guidelines. Many have been dismissed from teaching positions in their churches (ex: false teacher Harold Kamping). Many compromise on issues of baptism and, of course, God’s appointments (pastors, evangelists, etc.)
That said, I’m sure there are rare cases where God actually calls someone to start a church that is open to the community of believers, but to say that all others are in apostasy is divisive and completely wrong. Satan is the accuser of the brethren.
My suggestions?
Home churchers: Wake up. Find a good bible believing church in your area, and work on building up the Body, rather than unwittingly being a contributor to their ultimate demise. If you have concerns over doctrine – speak to the pastor, armed with scripture. Remember that disagreements on non-essentials is not a cause to leave. If so, you are being led, not by Jesus, but by pride.
Scripturally sound pastors: Pride can be the greatest stumbling block for pastors. Encourage open communication regarding scripture. Listen to your flock. You will be held accountable for their “soul conditions.”
May God strengthen us as we obey His command:
“And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near.” (Hebrews 10:24-25 ESV)
DOCTRINE IS NOT A FOUR LETTER WORD!
“If this church becomes doctrinal, I’m out the door!”
One of the elders in the church we’ve been attending was not very happy with…well, this site! It seems I was too “doctrinal” for him and his comment was harsh. Since this took place behind closed doors and I was not offered an invitation to the meeting, I thought the best way to kick off my continuation of this site was to write a bit about what “doctrine” really is. This elder doesn’t seem to understand that without doctrine there wouldn’t be teaching of any kind in the church!
As bad as that sounds, the elder is not alone. There are many Christians today who seem to disdain the D word and look upon it as legalistic. But is this true?
There are 44 occurrences of the word doctrine in the King James and 11 in the ESV. Out of these, 28 verses use the Greek word, “didache” according to Strong’s Concordance: Read more…
WE’RE BACK!
Wow! Sorry for the delay in posting. It’s been such an amazing year. Moving and praying. Seeing God work through all sorts of trials! Time to begin again renewed!
Tomorrow I’ll catch everyone up on the latest (and past) events.
God bless all who continued to read!
CHARACTER ON CREDIT?
We are all aware that our economy is under extreme burden. Banker bailouts, ponzi schemes, credit scandals. But what happens when good people find themselves unable to manage their finances after a loss of employment or medical emergency? What happens to the credit rating of those who, by no fault of their own, see their once good “credit score” drop with a thud because of their unfortunate circumstances?
Unfortunately, businesses seldom stop to consider the circumstances or the persons themselves when doing “credit checks” for new hires. Even churches today rate a man’s character on his credit score. This should not be. What then becomes of the one who has been judged by the world’s standards? He is disqualified from teaching the Word of God because he has been demoted in the eyes of search committees by worldly standards – certainly not God’s standards. Sometimes, 1st Timothy 3:5 – 6 is used to justify disqualifying a pastor whose credit score doesn’t meet the standards of the world:
“He must be one who manages his own household well, keeping his children under control with all dignity (but if a man does not know how to manage his own household, how will he take care of the church of God?),…” (1 Timothy 3:4-5 NASB)
But does this apply to those, who like faithful Job, lost all he had but still gave glory to God? I think not. These verses speak about managing the FAMILY well. If Job had lived in our time, his extreme misfortunes would have caused a trip to the hospital and then an exorbitant bill for services that he could not pay after losing all he had. Sure, his credit rating would be a serious problem for those who judge by worldly standards, but in the eyes of His God, who put him in that position for His glory, it would not be an issue.
If God doesn’t count our inability to pay as a character fault, why do we? Pastoral committees should not be as the world, but see people as God sees them. What are we to do for a brother in need? What about a pastor who has fallen onto hard times?
My husband and I love the Lord and both of us have been serving Him faithfully as teachers, preachers, and everything in between. Our congregation loves him as their pastor, but we would never pass the test on the credit score and it doesn’t matter to them. They see who we are and our circumstances and judge righteously – not as the world does based upon our credit rating.
Our Testimony:
After Gary’s former wife passed away of cancer, he was stuck with juggling a mountain of bills with his income cut in half. Later when we met he head already gone through his savings trying to stay afloat, and I was just beginning to build my own credit history back up after devastating medical bills. I was laid off from my job and after my unemployment ran out, was fully expecting to be able to work in my new state of Arizona. Unfortunately, just as I arrived, the economy here took a nose dive and after many efforts, I could not find employment. My husband juggled the bills until he couldn’t make it any longer. He held two jobs – one as pastor for a minimal sum and one supporting job. Still, it was difficult. Through no fault of our own, we fell behind in a car payment and his car was repossessed. There literally was nothing he could do, and at this point we were living paycheck to paycheck and many prayers. We were in the position that many are in today. Then, the unthinkable happened. My husband lost his supporting job and our fate was sealed. We lost it all. Our house was in foreclosure and we were living on $600 a month from his church salary and a small pension annuity for another $144 a month. We also had to apply for food stamps for the first time in both of our lives just to survive – again, no fault of our own. Until these unfortunate events, my husband’s credit score was very good.
My credit problems began with a broken ankle and no insurance. To add to that, more medical bills were piled to that when I need my right eye enucleated because of malignant melanoma (that was over 15 years ago and I’m cancer free) and my non-believing husband left me to care for three children alone. I watched helplessly as the bills piled up with absolutely no way to pay them. Did I want to pay them? Of course! Do I love the Lord? Yes, I do.
There are similar stories all over the world now. One small step of misfortune for many families and they fall off the precipice they’ve been standing on for years. The foreclosure rate has never been higher. The number of good people plunging to the depth of the credit rating cesspool has increased dramatically. The question is, how should we judge them – by the world’s standards or by God’s standards?
We as Christians are told not to be like the world. We are to judge righteously. Should we disqualify a man of God who loves the Lord and whose only mark against him is his poverty and the unfortunate circumstances that led to the “mark of bad credit?” Are we like the world that judges the character of a man based upon the world’s idea of worth – monetary solvency and a good credit score? Does a good credit score have anything to do with the character of a Christian who has experienced these trials?
There are those who never experience hardship, but the man of God is not destined for a life of smooth waters. Sometimes, debt is not procured through reckless spending, although even a pastor can fall into the trap of owning credit cards! I know that I have watched my husband make every effort to pay something on all his bills even when it left us with literally nothing. He never defrauded anyone.
Whether accurate or not, the credit score system has the power to keep a person in bondage to his debtors by exempting him from employment. Rating a person’s character by the numbers on a credit score is unbiblical; however, the world sees it as just because it is based upon the dictates of the god of Mammon. Yes, this rating system can affect ones entire future and it might not even be based upon fact!
From Secret History of the Credit Card by Malgorzata Wozniacka and Snigdha Sen:
“The credit score system has been around for 45 years and is credited with making lending less discriminatory and credit more widely available. But while the meticulous collecting and sharing of consumers’ credit histories has dramatically improved the efficiency of U.S. credit markets, critics say the credit bureau’s information — affecting everything from who insures you to who hires you — may contain substantive errors and is increasingly being used and shared among companies without consumers’ knowledge.”[1]
With the world in economic turmoil, there will be many brothers and sisters in Christ that will fall between the cracks. The church should not spiritually fall into the cracks as well by judging by the world’s standards. Our judgment must contain the elements of mercy and truth. Ask – what are the circumstances of a low credit score? As Christians, we must make sure that we are not disqualifying a man of God’s choice based upon the value placed upon him by Experian, Trans Union, and Equifax. God’s kingdom is not based upon the dictates of the god of Mammon, but upon righteousness and truth.
Credit reporting was born more than 100 ago… “However, it wasn’t until 2001 that consumers gained direct access to their credit scores. Earlier that year, Consumer Reports had documented the problem of credit scores being off limits to consumers in an article entitled “New Assault on Your Credit Rating.” The article, combined with growing pressures from lending institutions wanting to disclose scores to consumers, finally opened credit score information to individuals. An updated version of the FCRA, signed into law by President George W. Bush in December 2003, requires CRAs to provide consumers a copy of their credit score at a “fair and reasonable” fee. Consumers can obtain their FICO credit score, for a fee, at myfico.com.”

TRUTH 4 LIFE
My favorite preacher is Paul Washer (second to my husband, of course). Many are offended by his uncompromising ”hell fire and damnation” preaching but I love it because God’s truth is pure gold and, if rightly divided, lights our paths as we struggle on that ”narrow road” that leads to life. The following sermon is my favorite. Please take the time to watch and listen and let your heart be open to the truth of God’s Word:
GOD BLESS YOU!
WHAT ARE WE TO DO?
This e-mail was forwarded to me from a church member. I am saddened but not surprised.
I receive many e-mails every day. The video she sent makes me sad but is not surprising given the way Obama has reacted toward Chrisitanity especially:
Her question reflects the frustration of what much of the country feels now:
“Okay, Victoria, I have a question: As Americans we have all this info on Obama. What do we do? I have put my name on every petition to try and fight some of what is going on in government outside of pure revolt like in the beginning of our country. What do we do? I pray for our country but it feels like the course has been set! Thank God he saw fit to save me.”
My response was to keep praying, but don’t be afraid of what is and what is coming. We are not going to change what is destined, but we can keep our eyes focused on Jesus and allow Him to guide us through the trials we and our country will be facing in the future and even in the present. I believe over emphasis on the minors distracts us from the majors. For a Christian, our relationship with Christ should be above all and fear should not overtake us.
It is obvious for many that protesting is having no effect upon those intent on fulfilling their own agendas. As a matter of fact, it seems the more protesting, the more labeling of those protesters as enemies of the state! Where have we seen this before?
There has been a 1776 battle cry from grass roots groups and that is admirable. However, we are NOT in 1776, but 2010. The battle field has changed, the enemy is many times ideological, and the weapons of war have become too advanced for the average patriot to stand against. I’m not saying we shouldn’t make our opposition known, but it seems out voices aren’t being heard. Better to wait until November, when our voices will be heard at the polls: Get your ‘vote ‘em out’ lists ready!
I believe, as many pastors and awake Christians, that we are feeling the beginnings of the birth pangs (Matthew 24:8). Therefore, how should a Christian react to what is happening in the world around us?
“Be on guard, so that your hearts will not be weighted down with dissipation and drunkenness and the worries of life, and that day will not come on you suddenly like a trap; for it will come upon all those who dwell on the face of all the earth. “But keep on the alert at all times, praying that you may have strength to escape all these things that are about to take place, and to stand before the Son of Man.” (Luke 21:34-36 NASB)
IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH HEALTHCARE
The following article is one of the most informative I’ve found lately. I contacted the author, who is a strong sister in the Lord, for permission to post.

We know the Obama healthcare overhaul has nothing to do with healthcare. It’s all about control, and specifically population control. In 1973, the supreme court found for Roe in an unbelievable 7 to 2 decision that abortion was legal. Since then 50 million babies have been murdered in their mother’s wombs in the United States of America, where LIFE, liberty and the pursuit of happiness is promised in the Declaration of Independence.

APPOLOGIES – MOVING!!!
I wanted to apologize to my readers – I know you haven’t heard from us for some time, but we have been insanely busy with the coming changes in our lives – we feel God moving us on and we are packing up. God is directing our path – possibly up north – and when we find out what His will is, we will once again be on a “blog” schedule. I will be adding some interesting articles and making efforts to increase our audience. Gary still pastors in Chloride and we love them, but everything just seems to be God’s direction and we knew two years ago that we would be ending our time in Chloride. Circumstances (not in the church) seem to be indicating this.
As some of you know, I have been an insulin dependent for about 6 years now. I finally decided to dump the insulin with a regimine of healthy eating, vitamin supplements and exercise. After a month, I had lost 23 pounds and have never felt better. I have to listen to my body signals on when to eat, even a bite of the wrong food can give me that “foggy” feeling, but I’m learning how to feel good again. I feel 100% better than I ever did shooting up insulin four times a day! For those who don’t know, the additives in the insulin are KILLERS! In the insulin I was taking, there was an extremely toxic ingredient used in pesticides called Metacresol and hydrochloric acid! NO WONDER I FELT TERRIBLE WITH A BURNING IN MY BACK AND LUNGS! I literally have no pain now that I’ve dumped the stuff.
PLEASE NOTE!!! This is not in any way a recommendation to try this yourself – just my experience. In any case, there is so much to thank God for.
Blessings to Richard Tovia who began his new ministry. He visits churches and explains Jesus in the passover. A wonderful brother in Christ.
When I have more time, I will certainly be concentrating on adding more paintings in the gallery and info on cults. In the meantime, God bless you, and live long and prosper!
8.8 CHILEAN EARTHQUAKE
This morning another earthquake hit, the death toll now at 120+ and many more injured. I dare say there will be even more casualties as the day goes on.
PRAY FOR THEM.
HOLY SPIRIT WARNING
The other day I awoke praising the Lord and as I was praying I felt the urge to pray for protection. Now, I usually don’t do that, but this morning was anything but usual.
After my prayer, I walked sleepily into the kitchen to plug in our hot pot to make coffee. As I reached forward I noticed a poisonous Mohave Green snake coiled on top of my stove, about a foot away!!! He rattled, and I was rattled! I screamed for my husband and when he saw it he ran to get his gun. Since the dogs heard my scream and ran to the rescue, I quickly rushed them into the bedroom and shut the door. The last thing I heard were gun shots.
Out here in Arizona we do have snakes, but we rarely see them. My husband has never seen one in the house in all his 22 years here and to have the reptile on top of the stove? Well, let’s just say it was a bit unusual. Sorry, but I didn’t think to take a photo of him for the blog…lol!
Even though the snake was saying, “Don’t tread on me,” God was saying, “Don’t tread on my child.” I can’t even tell you how many times the Lord has delivered me from the hands of enemies, human and non.
The Christian life is full of surprises, but there is no surprise in God’s love for us.
“But the Lord is faithful, and He will strengthen and protect you from the evil one.” (2 Thessalonians 3:3 NASB)
EMPLOYMENT DECLINE
My friend Trish sent in this amazing video based on statistical data (I don’t know WHERE she finds this stuff!.) We have a desperate situation in our country right now and I believe it will only get worse.
Even though my husband and I are in the number of those in this country experiencing financial hardships, we are putting all our faith and trust in Jesus. God is meeting our needs daily in the most unusual ways.
If you are in a similar situation, my advice is to trust Him. Draw near to Him and He will draw near to you and see you through every trial. I promise, because He promised.

KEN HAM’S STATE OF THE NATION II
Last night my husband and I listened to Answers in Genesis’ Ken Ham’s State of the Nation Address II on an “invitation only” webcast. He touched on issues that had been on my heart and I realized that the concern for the church that I had for so long was not just my burden, but Christians in general.
His theme was the decline of Christianity in favor of Secular Humanism. For those who might not understand the term, it basically means a belief system that contains a philosophical, man centered morality, but excludes God. The foundation of this view is Darwinism and the theory of evolution which discounts biblical teaching.
Some of the concerns touched upon were:
Obama’s anti-Christian rhetoric
Anti-Christian sentiment in this country through the media and “science”
The attack on Christian symbolism
The attack on the World of God
Compromise of the church because biblical authority has been undermined

RESOLUTION
Are we the generation that will see the fulfilling of all things? I can only echo the thoughts of many of my brethren whom I have spoken to about these things. We believe that we ARE that generation.
So this year, I have only ONE New Year’s resolution – to draw closer to Jesus, ”…so as to walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing to him, bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God.” (Colossians 1:10 ESV)
Even so, come Lord Jesus….
MAY 2012 FIND US ALL STRIVING TO WALK CLOSER TO OUR SAVIOR – PEACE BE WITH YOU
