Vote for the party that holds your Values by Yankee

VOTE FOR THE PARTY THAT HOLDS YOUR VALUES

By Ralph “Yankee” Arnold

This 2024 election is more about the ideology being put forth than the person running. These two charts reveal the proper foundation for the desired outcome for you and your family. 

Jesus said,

Mat 7:24  “Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house (himself, wife, children, church, or country) upon a rock:”

Mat 7:26  “And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand”

Study these two charts carefully. Even though they were drawn over 42 years ago, notice how prophetic they were. One teaches WHAT to think and one teaches HOW to think.

 

“Our constitutional fathers, familiar with the strength and weakness of both autocracy and democracy with fixed principles definitely in mind, defined a representative republican form of government. They made a very marked distinction between a republic and a democracy and said repeatedly and emphatically that they had founded a republic.”  


Professor Alexander Fraser Tytler explains why democracies fail. “A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover they can vote themselves freebies out of the public treasury. From that moment on the majority always votes for the candidate promising the most benefits from the public treasury with the result that democracy always collapses over a loose fiscal policy, always to be followed by a dictatorship.

A Democracy can only exist until they have spent all the money of the Republicans. This will culminate into socialism by politicians who promise “Freebies” for votes. The end must result in dictatorial rule.

Many Americans have also awakened to the fact that all is not well in our Republic. Over one hundred years ago, the churches relinquished their leadership of Christian Education because they yielded to the arguments of secularism in the 1830’s, 40’s and 50’s.

“As we shifted from a God-centered republic to a man-centered democracy-we began to flounder.” This anti-Christian education of the progressive state schools has produced the socialism and the communism of our time.

Remember, to preserve our nation we must preserve our American Christian heritage for our children. If we lose our nation to socialism and communism, it is because we lost our children first. Parents must not allow the state the right to control the education of their child.

A republic is a representative government yet providing a means to preserve the rights of the minority. A Republic is Dependent upon the Character of the People. The people of the nation must know and practice individual self-government.

Voting is our way of fighting for the right to fulfill our God-given responsibilities. To protect our families and our way of life, we must insist on strong secure borders and the strongest superior military in the world. Why vote for a party whose stated goal is to lead you into Communism by way of Socialism?

Vote for the Party that seeks to defend your home, family, church, and country. An individual may not qualify to pastor my church, but they may know how to fly the plane across America. Donald Trump flew it once without crashing so I am more confident he can do it again. I already know that the democrats want to fly me to an unknown destination. I challenge you to study these two charts and share with all you can. This election is of utmost importance. I alone am responsible for the contents of this letter.

UPDATE ON EVANGELIST FREDDIE COILE from Yankee

UPDATE ON EVANGELIST FREDDIE COILE

(Freddie called me last night from Mexico with a fervent request to let people know how he is doing.)

From Janet Coile to you.

Dear friends, Freddie and I have come to Mexico to seek treatment for his cancerous brain tumor after receiving the news that the chemo drug they were using in the US wasn’t working. We felt the Lord was leading us to a doctor in Mexico who had successfully treated a glioblastoma patient in the past. We brought our son, Benjamin, to help with Freddie’s care. We have had some ups and downs, but we are continuing to see the treatments through. We don’t know what the future holds, but we are walking by faith. Please keep praying for us. The family is committed to continuing the ministry going while Freddie is recovering and beyond. Because some have asked, we have added a button on the ministry website for medical expenses. Gracefarmonline.com has a button for donating and a Dropdown menu allows for a button for Freddie Coile’s medical expenses.

CLICK HERE!!

I didn’t know that July 17 was Glioblastoma awareness day—ironic that that day holds a lot of significance for us in our GBM journey. Freddie cannot walk without assistance, he sleeps a lot, and he forgets things, but He is not in pain, and he continues to be grateful, hopeful and peaceful. Going forward, please pray that he will regain function in his left side. He says it hurts or is numb and it is very difficult for him to move it. That means that Ben and I struggle with helping him to the bathroom or getting him places.

Still, I am so thankful to God for His many answers to our prayers. He is moving in many mighty ways!

From Yankee

Freddie and I both graduated from Florida Bible College and we both gave ourselves to reaching teenagers for the Lord. We both worked in many camps together. When it came to running a camp, Freddie could do it all. Over the last 33 years, he helped many pastors on the clarity of the gospel and helped multitudes of parents with their teenage children to know the Lord.

NOW! Freddie needs our help. Would you add him to your prayer list? Freddie told me, “Yankee, I don’t want to die, there is so much I want to do for the Lord!” You know as well as I, that choosing our day to depart is not our call. It may have nothing to do with the will to live, or how hard we fight. Sometimes it is strictly in the hands of Almighty God. Sometimes we can only trust the Lord to walk with us through the valley. If God should give to Freddie an Extension of Grace, I have no doubt that he will continue to honor the Lord with his life.

Jas 5:16  …The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much. Are you a righteous man? Will you pray? Will you donate for his wife and children?

 

Two years ago, as I laid in the VA Hospital for 23 days, people from around the world prayed for me. I believe with all my heart, that the Lord heard their prayers and granted me an extension of life.

Note from his son,

 

Dad continues his fight with brain cancer through any means available. It has taken a toll on him, and he needs a lot of rest, but he continues to preach and teach at every possible opportunity. His doctor, for the first time, has suggested that he prioritize rest and family time over treatment. We concede nothing in this fight, and Dad persists as God allows, but we are happy to spend some time together with the whole family after camp season. Speaking of camp, this year was the biggest one in the history of Grace Farm! I was blessed to direct each camp, teaching and organizing with help from Dad and our friend Trent Dudley, who came up with a group from Tampa. God has blessed the ministry here with much fruit.

From Josiah Coile plus additional comments:

As many of you know, my dad, Freddie Coile was diagnosed with glioblastoma (brain cancer) more than a year ago following a sudden medical episode. It was a weighty revelation, as this form of brain cancer is both aggressive and deadly. In the past year, Dad has had two brain surgeries, several cycles of chemotherapy, and radiation treatment in addition to diet changes and a slew of integrative remedies. Nevertheless, his cancer continues to elude us. Why this? Why us? These are questions that I’ve asked myself and God in the past 15 months. But God didn’t call me to contemplate; He called me to trust Him and do His will.

Dad, being of a similar mind, has continued to preach and teach. He tells me every day that he is still here, so God must still be using him. And He is.

We had more campers at Camp Grace this summer than we’ve ever had. Even with the Lodge at full capacity we were bursting at the seams! We watched in participation with the Holy Spirit as campers trusted Christ, memorized Bible verses, and dedicated their lives to His service. We have been allowed by God to be put in trust with His gospel (1 Thessalonians 2:4), and there is no higher calling than to deliver it.

That realization hit me harder than ever about a year ago while I was on the road working for my corporate job. I burst into tears (not advisable while driving at night) and immediately began praying (always advisable). It had been nagging me incessantly - the thought that I was meant for more - and I had finally reached the breaking point. I felt so clearly in my soul that God was calling me to the ministry. Not just lower-case, do-it-in-between-other-things ministry, but upper-case this-is-your-life-now Ministry.

I talked to Dad about my feeling of dissatisfaction with my station in life, and he dropped one of the coolest movie quotes ever on me from a baseball film called, The Rookie: “Son, it’s ok to do what you want to do, until it’s time to do what you were made to do.” So, I told God that I would put my big boy pants on and do what I was made to do. All I asked was that he show me the way one step at a time. Six months later, Dad asked me to be the camp director of Grace Farm. I accepted on the spot. Then, through happy tears of anticipation, he asked me if I would succeed him as the president of Focus Evangelistic Ministries Inc. I immediately deferred to answer. (I had asked God to lead me one step at a time, not two!) But I prayed, and Dad prayed, and I again felt the tug on my soul that said to trust God. So, I accepted

I’ve watched Dad invest himself in this ministry my entire life, and I’m prepared to steward the ministry that he has pioneered. In the ways that I’m not ready, I trust that God will continue to prepare me (see 1 Corinthians 1:26-27). We continue to pray for healing for Dad, knowing that God will be glorified in His recovery or departure as Paul describes in Philippians 1:21 (“...to live is Christ, and to die is gain”).

 

If you believe in what God is doing through our ministry, I’ve got news for you: we can’t do it alone! We need financial support and prayer. Dad’s medical expenses have mounted, so any support in that area will be gratefully received and deeply appreciated. We also need people to share both our needs and resources with others who care. If that sounds like you, we can’t wait to partner with you!

Because of Grace,

Josiah Coile

Pictures are memories that holds precious times in place Yankee update

Pictures are memories that holds precious people and times in place.  

Betty and I have enjoyed six months on the road and now we are back home in Tampa. I pray that our pictures and brief explanations of our journeys helped in some small way to enable you to travel with us. Our travels have proven that we are not alone in this quest to win souls. There are many good godly men and women out there striving under extreme difficulty to build churches to promote the building of strong people.

I first met Pastor Neil Dearyan about 31 years ago. We roomed together on our trip to Israel. He had eyes for Julie Scudder, daughter of Dr. James Scudder. They got married, had two wonderful children, and two grandchildren. He is now the pastor of Chili Crossroads Bible Church in Fresno, Ohio.

Two years ago, they had over 500 for their wild-game dinner when I spoke with about 30 trusting the Lord, Their facilities are not adequate for continual growth at this present location.

 

Neal told me about a dream to purchase some twelve acres of land to build larger facilities in order to reach and train more people. I love a man who has a great God who desires to do great things through a faithful servant. This year, Neal and his wife, Julie, showed me their purchased possession of those 12 acres. The new property address is 23247 State Route 621 Coshocton OH 43812.


Their prayer request is for a buyer for their present church that could be used as a bank or offices in the middle of Amish country. Plus, they greatly desire to have about $200,000 in gifts to begin building. Will you pray with them and for them? Do your giving while you're living, so you knowing where it's going. I preached at their Simple-Steps program on Friday night and twice on Sunday morning.

 On June 23rd, I preached for Pastor Mark Moore of the Belmont Bible Church in 5430 Belmont Road Downers Grove IL

This is Betty standing in front of the Belmont Bible Church. Looking pretty good after having a heart attack a month earlier.

 Attending the Grace Conference at the Quentin Road Baptist Church in Lake Zurich, Il. is truly the highlight of the year.


Pastor Jim Scudder is the pastor of Quentin Road and is proving to be a strong spiritual leader by challenging America to faithfully STAND WITH ISRAEL. Call that number!.

 LOOK AT THIS UNUSUAL FAMILY!!

For the picture, it's Jacob on the far left, Joshua next, and David on the far right. The parents are Randy and Diann Horning, and Daniel is the brother not in the picture, he was teaching in the Simple-Step Addiction Program.

When you have Randy and Diann Horning (parents of four young good-looking boys) from Quentin Road Baptist Church have each of their sons working for the Lord in 4 different churches, you might conclude that they did something right. I have preached in all five churches and you cannot but be impressed with their humble servant's heart.
David is the oldest and is at Northland Bible Baptist Church in St Cloud, MN.
Daniel is the second oldest and is at Belmont Bible Church in Downers Grove, IL.
Joshua is the third and is at Bemidji Baptist Church in Bemidji, MN.
Jacob is the youngest and is at DaySpring Baptist Church in Waukesha, WI.

Kayla Dearing is feeling blessed with Randy Dearing at the Tippecanoe Bible Church in Lafayette, IN. Here is her testimony.

Pastor Bill is in deep prayer again

June 30, we had, as a married couple, our most amazing church visit today. Not only being married, but even before. Best church service of our lives at Tippecanoe Bible Church. We were welcomed with loving arms from every single member of the church and stayed together after services for a long time getting to know one another sharing testimonies.

😊
The past few months have been rough. Full time traveling missionary work is trying. There are moments you want to give up, you feel defeated, you feel as if no one cares, you feel as if there are not many who support serving God full time, as we are called to do. But then God shows up. 
 
God reminds us through those who are faithful prayer warriors, faithful saints who supply financial support, by kind-hearted believers who share scripture and words of encouragement. Then you have those times when you meet a couple sold out for Christ who have done and are still doing what you do. You meet them and they inspire you to never stop. They share their wisdom and love. They give you the opportunity to hear why it’s biblical, why it’s so important and why God does need you. 
 
We grateful for the sermon message our Pastor Brother Dr. Ralph 'Yankee' Arnold gave today. We’re grateful for all the advice and encouragement we received from Yankee, his beautiful wife Miss Betty, Pastor Billy Kaminsky and his beautiful wife. We need that love and encouragement to run the race until we fly home.
Until we meet again…. 🥰
God bless all You Saints in Jesus
