Dear KKIM Family,
Welcome to Ruth Ann and Ken!!!! Glad to have you here at the CUP!!!! Please tell your friends about KKIM and the Cup….we would like many more to join us for a fresh cup.
How are you today? Thanks for stopping by! Pastor Leonard shared this with me………
A man can no more diminish God’s glory by refusing to worship Him than a lunatic can put out the sun by scribbling the word “darkness” on the walls of his cell. -C.S. Lewis
Praying for you,
Leonard
Pastor Leonard has become a tremendous resource for us. We PRAISE GOD for him.
Today’s posting is not about hate…………It is about LOVE and COMNCERN for GOD’s people………Please do not just scan today’s cup………it is full of information you need to read and pass along to your Pastor and friends…..please
I come to you today with a heavy heart……..I look around me and I am sadden by what I see as a push by a few to effect many. I am wore down…..many emails and phone calls on the same sex marriage issue. The Lord will give us strength to march on today!
Same sex marriage……..if the vote was held today, it would pass the House and Senate. That is what State Rep. Janice E. Arnold Jones tells us. I scan the other media in the state and there is no mention of this bill………nothing………..nothing in today’s Journal………nothing on KOB AM. KKIM is committed to bring you the TRUTH everyday. Please pray for us.
Except for KDSK Radio in Grants, Derek, the owner interviewed me about the bill. Thank God for broadcasters like Derek.
There is an email below asking why same sex marriage is not being voted on by the people of New Mexico. GOOD QUESTION!
To give you a straight answer it is because the power and abuse of a few……..Gov. Richardson, a favorite of the Gay community, (he has received so much money from the Gay community and also got their Highest Honor of Service award last year) he is pushing this bill to be approved quickly.
The main stream media is silent on this issue. Many New Mexican’s are not aware of the current status of this bill, as it roll’s to approval.
God’s people must not be silent……..Many people have gathered together……..to vote this down……..would you join us? Here is our most current News story……….
Before that let’s get to the Prayer needs………..
Please pray for our Web Master Jannetta. She has a health concern. Please keep her in your prayers. By the way Jannetta is building a web site for my dear friend Ken Coe at WLOI/WCOE in Laporte, In. If you would like her to build a web site for your business or Church, just send me an email.
Please pray for Dorothy Kimbro’s sister, Doloris, as she is very ill. Please pray that Doloris will accept our Lord Jesus Christ.
Please pray for our son Lars friend Vincent, as he broke is arm last night coming out of Wal-Mart.
Dewey,
Quick update on my friend Gail. She has been running a fever of 99-103 since she left the hospital and can’t eat. She is going back to the Doctor today. She is very down and weak. Please continue to keep her on your prayer list as her recovery is very slow.
Also have a friend who had open heart surgery and needs our prayers. Don Hunsucker. Dear friends as well.
Thank you for all your wonderful “Cups” in the mornings.
God Bless you and your family,
Nicole
Hi Dewey,
I would like to ask everyone to please keep my Sister-in-law Jeannine’s Mother-in-law, Linda Barreras, in your prayers. She was diagnosed very recently with breast cancer. She has asked us to pray for her and I would greatly ask you to please do the same for her. We all know the power and gift of our prayers, and I know she will deeply appreciate it.
She is very optimistic that she and her doctors can get this under control with medications and a special diet.
Thank you very much.
John Jelso
Please keep all these concern’s in your prayers.
Now here is the latest from KKIM’s Frank Haley…….
The word from the Merry Roundhouse in Santa Fe is that New Mexico will have same sex marriage within a week or two.
We could have same sex marriage ceremonies on the State Capitol steps on Valentines Day.!!!!
State Rep. Janice Arnold says the vote on HB 21 looks to be 48-22 in favor in the House and just 15 dissenting votes in the Senate.
Gov. Bill Richardson has made this a priority.
It will take prayer and action by God’s people to prevent same sex marriage.
The best thing we can do now is swamp the switch board with phone calls and send emails.
The effort to defeat this bill involves many from the Evangelical/Protestant/Catholic Church. Please call your Pastor if he is not involved. Call your friends and make them aware.
The web site of the State Legislature is www.nmlegis.gov/lcs/ Send your email now.
The phone number to voice your thoughts to the State Legislature is 505-986-4300.
Your prayers, phone calls, and emails stopped same sex marriage bill last year……you
can do the same this year.
KKIM News will continue to stay on top of this story.
In Leviticus 18:22 God says, “You shall not lie with a male as one lies with a
female. It is an abomination.”
Here’s contact information for the committee that is hearing HB 21 now:
HB 21 (Domestic Partner Rights and Responsibilities) was introduced and has been sent to the Consumer & Public Affairs Committee. Please contact the Legislators listed below ASAP, telling them to vote NO on HB 21. The bill’s language (identical to the CA statute) will result in same sex marriage through court action, as it did in CA.

Also with a heavy heart……..I share with you this news……….
Long time Pastor Larry Moss of Heights Cumberland Presbyterian Church and talk show host here on KKIM has announced his retirement from the Church. Pastor Moss told KKIM that he will retire as Pastor on July 4th of this year.
Pastor Moss has been a tremendous leader in the state of New Mexico. Larry has been on KKIM for nearly 30 years.
When we asked him if he would continue his Radio Ministry on KKIM, Pastor Moss replied, “Don’t know yet”
Please pray for our dear brother in the Lord, Pastor Larry Moss…
Larry has been a dear friend………..when I came to KKIM he helped Shepherd me along. His son Greg was a tremendous roll model for son Lars.
Now back the same sex marriage issue……..
Here is a common question I get…………..
What’s wrong with gay marriage? Didn’t God make them, too? Franchesca
I asked Pastor Leonard Navarre Of Valley View Christian Church in Edgewood, NM to address this for us………
Dewey,
Concerning homosexual marriage:
God loves all people. He loves us so much that He sent His son, Jesus to die for us to take away our sins. However, as a loving Father, He has given us guidelines, spiritual principles and commandments to help us live as spiritually fulfilled as possible. He loves the murderer but doesn’t approve of the murder. He loved King David in the Old Testament but pointed out the sin of adultery and murder in King David’s life and David had to live with the consequences of his disobedience.
In Leviticus 18:22 God says, “you shall not lie with a male as one lies with a female. It is an abomination”. Whenever God calls something an abomination, I should really pay attention. Now remember He loves us, but He is speaking to the behavior He that he detest. Also, in Romans:
Rom 1:18
For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men who suppress the truth in unrighteousness,
Rom 1:19
because that which is known about God is evident within them; for God made it evident to them.
Rom 1:20
For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood through what has been made, so that they are without excuse.
Rom 1:21
For even though they knew God, they did not honor Him as God or give thanks, but they became futile in their speculations, and their foolish heart was darkened.
Rom 1:22
Professing to be wise, they became fools,
Rom 1:23
and exchanged the glory of the incorruptible God for an image in the form of corruptible man and of birds and four-footed animals and crawling creatures.
Rom 1:24
Therefore God gave them over in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, so that their bodies would be dishonored among them.
Rom 1:25
For they exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.
Rom 1:26
For this reason God gave them over to degrading passions; for their women exchanged the natural function for that which is unnatural,
Rom 1:27
and in the same way also the men abandoned the natural function of the woman and burned in their desire toward one another, men with men committing indecent acts and receiving in their own persons the due penalty of their error.
Rom 1:28
And just as they did not see fit to acknowledge God any longer, God gave them over to a depraved mind, to do those things which are not proper,
Rom 1:29
being filled with all unrighteousness, wickedness, greed, evil; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, malice; they are gossips,
Rom 1:30
slanderers, haters of God, insolent, arrogant, boastful, inventors of evil, disobedient to parents,
Rom 1:31
without understanding, untrustworthy, unloving, unmerciful;
Rom 1:32
and although they know the ordinance of God, that those who practice such things are worthy of death, they not only do the same, but also give hearty approval to those who practice them.
Key phrases: “suppressed the truth for a lie” and “worshipped and serve the creature rather than the creator”.
Here again is the battle in our mind of whether we will obey God or man. God says that when we have sexual relations with the same sex it is an abomination and detestable in His sight. So whom will we obey. God or man? Our own desires? God commands us not to murder. Whom will we obey? God or our own angry desires to kill?
God loves us so much and wants us to be blessed in our lives that His guidelines, principles and commandments are for our good, both in body and spirit. There are acts and deeds that will move us away from enjoying His blessings in our lives. Romans 1:28 reminds us that since they didn’t desire to worship God nor acknowledge Him as God that God released them to do whatever they desired to do. And they did and still do.
In my life God is desiring a close personal relationship with me, but sin and wickedness always blocks God’s greatest blessings and joy in my life.
God loves each one of us but does give us commandments on how we should live to best glorify Him in our behavior. When we choose to disobey, as a loving Dad on earth, discipline is the result from our heavenly Father. So remember, the question is will we obey God or our selfish desires and man’s encouragement.
I Corinthians 6:9-10 gives a list of those who will not inherit the kingdom of God AND unless they repent and change their behavior, along with others sinful behaviors, homosexuals are listed.
May we be willing to seek God’s will for our lives through His Word, the Bible, rather than our own selfish and carnal desires of the flesh. Matthew 6:33 “seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness.”
God bless,
Leonard Navarre
Dewey,
why don’t we get to vote on this? This never wins when put to the people.
I may have answered my own question.
Derek
Dewey,
a lady called in after you were on KDSK and asked if I was going to offer
an opposing view point. She is undecided. I told her that I would be happy
to talk with a homosexual if she knew one that wanted to call in.
She didn’t. I should have suggested she tune in to Air America.
Get ready for the Fairness Doctrine.
Derek
Dear Dewey ~
In response to the report you sent from Congressman Bill Redmond…
You know, I was dismayed when I learned of this, then it occurred to me…
Those who live in darkness can compete against the children of light and win in every way except one.
They can inspire more candidates to run for office.
They can raise more funds to buy more advertising.
They can turn out more volunteers to get out the vote.
Any tactic we use they can match and even exceed!
But, THERE IS ONE WEAPON WE HAVE THAT IS COMPLETELY UNAVAILABLE TO THEM…
PRAYER
Our God is a warrior-god (Exodus 15:3) but He waits for us to step forward and call His divine power into the conflict.
He is eager to show himself strong on behalf of those whose heart is perfect toward Him (2 Chronicles 16:9)
But He is waiting for us to do what it takes…
trust Him obey Him and pray
Will we pick up our swords and go to battle for the soul of our nation?
Will we fight and keep on fighting while it seems the tide of war is going against us?
Will we read the stories in Scriptures of the many times when for God’s people it looked like the battle was lost,
until God entered the conflict and determined the outcome. Will we take courage from those stories and
keep on trusting Him, and obeying Him and praying to Him to show His power and decisively defeat the enemy?
If we are listening to Him and following Him, then the battles we are fighting will be His battles, not ours,
and for those battles, we have His absolute guarantee that
HE shall win the conflict!
(the message from this old hymn is sounding more contemporary every day!)
A mighty fortress is our God, a bulwark never failing;
Our helper He, amid the flood of mortal ills prevailing:
For still our ancient foe doth seek to work us woe;
His craft and power are great, and, armed with cruel hate,
On earth is not his equal.
Did we in our own strength confide, our striving would be losing;
Were not the right Man on our side, the Man of God’s own choosing:
Dost ask who that may be? Christ Jesus, it is He;
Lord Sabaoth, His Name, from age to age the same,
And He must win the battle.
And though this world, with devils filled, should threaten to undo us,
We will not fear, for God hath willed His truth to triumph through us:
The Prince of Darkness grim, we tremble not for him;
His rage we can endure, for lo, his doom is sure,
One little word shall fell him.
That word above all earthly powers, no thanks to them, abideth;
The Spirit and the gifts are ours through Him Who with us sideth:
Let goods and kindred go, this mortal life also;
The body they may kill: God’s truth abideth still,
His kingdom is forever.
(Martin Luther 1529)

Just one more note……..State Rep. Nora Espinoza was on KKIM’s New Mexico News and Views yesterday talking about this event that attracted a crowd of nearly 3,000 people according to Nora……
Santa Fe, NM) – Rep. Nora Espinoza (R-Chaves, Lincoln and Otero-59) attended a National Right to Life rally Thursday at the State Capitol from 1-3pm. Similar rallies were held across the nation to encourage elected officials to end abortion.
“Ending abortion in this country is a very important issue to me and I am honored to be a part of today’s rally,” remarked Rep. Espinoza. “I encourage every person who believes in family values and ending abortion to attend the rally as well as contact their legislator and tell them to vote for pro-family values legislation.”
This event was also ignored by the main stream media……..So how important are stations like KKIM?
By the way Dr. Deb will be with us on New Mexico News and Views today at 4:30 talking about the same sex marriage issue………Here is Dr. Deb to update us on her program this Saturday…………

Since Karen Rowe started her Radio Ministry, it’s been hard for her to get a posting for us here at the Cup! We sure do understand that and we are blessed by her radio program!!! Today she was able to send a posting! Praise God!
That’s why I share just to Praise HIM so!
I suppose it might be different for some, but let me describe peace and joy to me.
That childhood surprise and excitement as I see the 1st snow…
Wide eyed and alert just to hear the words.
A leap to the window to look at the sight…
The ground fully covered and the trees coated with snow.
The surprise and quickness gives no time for thought…
The beauty and light from a new fallen snow… takes my breath away…
God soars in my soul!
God’s spirit in me compares to the two.
Childhood innocence and purity in my heart…
And the sight of peace and joy radiates from within my soul.
Like wings of a dove, so gentle and calm…God lifts me up in HIS loving arms.
I praise God from deep within — so thankful for the beauty that only HE can send.
My mind can’t help to wander how much more HE has in store!
Too much to keep in — God sends peace and joy in overflow
That’s why I share just to Praise HIM so!
My wandering eye runs to see it is still snowing…
And then this sight captures me…
I have 4 horses and they are a blessing to me.
I see them experiencing the same as me.
In unity, they play — no scores to be kept
They run in a gallop to see if the others keep up.
There’s not sight greater to me than to see the mighty power in a horse run so gracefully!
There is no greater sound in the world than to hear the thunder in rhythm of their hooves meet the ground.
Gracefully and playfully I see them play
As if they celebrate the same as me…something so special is in the air…
They run with such freedom, power and grace!
My heart soars all the way to God as I cherish this moment for what it is.
I thank God dearly for all that HE does!
My heart is full of peace and joy as I receive the snow as a blessing…
I see this snow… in the beauty that God gives….
No other comparison that I can give…
I share only to encourage another to seek to receive God’s awesome gift!
God’s love is light and easy to care HE falls gently over us with power
He covers us fully with beauty beyond compare…
HIS peace and joy do not melt like the snow in the frigid air
He gives us hope and washes our sin…
Newness to our life comes by HIS hand.
The beauty in this day and in my heart with no end.
I wonder if God made the snow …
Just to shake things up …
HE must have known — of coarse HE did!
Tranquility HE gives — no book can share…
Just look out the window and see the birds with no care!
Our God can be seen if we look for HIS hand …
He sits a bird on the branch by HIS loving hand
He made them, colored them and gave them their wing to fly…
With majesty HE created…
… and by HIS grace they sit on a branch for us to see.
God made the branch for you and me and decorated it with birds for the world to see!
Just when the scenery almost got old…
God made it snow and made it all new and bold!
God Bless you in this day that the LORD has made!
Have you received Jesus today? His blood is stronger than the snow…it covers all sin and makes you new again! The next time you clean your boots in the snow…think of how much more Christ’s blood can do for you!
Love in Christ,
Karen Rowe
He Loves to Be with the Ones He Loves
by Max Lucado
Holiday travel. It isn’t easy. Then why do we do it? Why cram the trunks and endure the airports? You know the answer. We love to be with the ones we love.
The four-year-old running up the sidewalk into the arms of Grandpa.
The cup of coffee with Mom before the rest of the house awakes.
That moment when, for a moment, everyone is quiet as we hold hands around the table and thank God for family and friends and pumpkin pie.
We love to be with the ones we love.
May I remind you? So does God. He loves to be with the ones he loves. How else do you explain what he did? Between him and us there was a distance–a great span. And he couldn’t bear it. He couldn’t stand it. So he did something about it.
Before coming to the earth, “Christ himself was like God in every-thing…. But he gave up his place with God and made himself nothing. He was born to be a man and became like a servant” (Phil. 2:6–7 NCV).
Why? Why did Jesus travel so far?
I was asking myself that question when I spotted the squirrels outside my window. A family of black-tailed squirrels has made its home amid the roots of the tree north of my office. We’ve been neighbors for three years now. They watch me peck the keyboard. I watch them store their nuts and climb the trunk. We’re mutually amused. I could watch them all day. Sometimes I do.
But I’ve never considered becoming one of them. The squirrel world holds no appeal to me. Who wants to sleep next to a hairy rodent with beady eyes? (No comments from you wives who feel you already do.) Give up the Rocky Mountains, bass fishing, weddings, and laughter for a hole in the ground and a diet of dirty nuts? Count me out.
But count Jesus in. What a world he left. Our classiest mansion would be a tree trunk to him. Earth’s finest cuisine would be walnuts on heaven’s table. And the idea of becoming a squirrel with claws and tiny teeth and a furry tail? It’s nothing compared to God becoming a one-celled embryo and entering the womb of Mary.
But he did. The God of the universe kicked against the wall of a womb, was born into the poverty of a peasant, and spent his first night in the feed trough of a cow. “The Word became flesh and lived among us” (John 1:14 NRSV). The God of the universe left the glory of heaven and moved into the neighborhood. Our neighborhood! Who could have imagined he would do such a thing.
Thanks for stopping by today……….keep us in your prayers………We love you all,
Dewey Sharon and family
