New Perspective...

After being married 25 years, a man looked at his wife one day and said, "You know, 25 years ago we lived in a cheap apartment, drove a cheap car, had only a sofa bed and watched a 14" black and white television.

But, every night I got to sleep with a hot 25-year-old blonde."

"Now," he continued, "We have a nice house, a new car, a big flat-screen TV, but I have to sleep with a 50-year-old woman. It doesn't seem fair."

His wife was a reasonable woman.

She replied, "Well, why don't you go out and get yourself a hot 25-year-old blonde? Then I'll make sure you will once again live in a cheap apartment, drive a cheap car, have only a sofa bed and watch a 14" black and white television."

The man rethought his priorities.

A Woman's Dream...

A woman is sitting at a bar enjoying an after work cocktail with her girlfriends when an exceptionally tall, handsome, middle-aged man enters.

He is so striking that the woman can not take her eyes off him.

The man notices her overly attentive stares and walks directly toward her.

Before she can offer her apologies for rudely staring, he leans over and whispers, "I'll do anything, absolutely anything that you want me to do for $20... But, on one condition."

Flabbergasted, the woman asks what the condition is.

The man replies, "You have to tell me what you want me to do in just three words."

The woman considers his proposition for a moment and then removes a $20 bill from her purse, which she presses into the man's hand along with her address.

She then looks deeply into his eyes, and slowly, and meaningfully says,

"Clean my house."

CROCK MAN
Foreign Money Flowing Into Obama Campaign

Monday, August 11, 2008 11:29 AM

By: Jim Meyers Article Font Size

Record amounts of money from abroad are flowing into Barack Obama’s presidential campaign — and there is no easy way to determine if foreigners are making illegal donations.

Through June, Democrat Obama received $2.8 million in donations from foreign sources, according to federal election records obtained by The Hill newspaper.

That dwarfs the $381,809 that Republican rival John McCain received from abroad. It is also more than President Bush and John Kerry combined received in the 2004 presidential campaign. Bush took in $747,857 from foreign sources; Kerry got $550,834.

According to federal laws, contributors to federal, state and local elections must be U.S. citizens or permanent residents with green cards.

But with many Americans living overseas and contributing to campaigns, making sure the donations are legal can be difficult. Foreigners often can get away with contributing to a campaign if they are willing to make false statements about their status.

“If a contributor lies to campaigns, that’s outside the control of the campaign,” Jan Baran, an elections and ethics lawyer with the firm Wiley Rein, told The Hill.

And Larry Noble, a former Federal Election Commission general counsel, said the ability to donate money via the Internet “has raised the ease with which someone could make a foreign national contribution.”

Assurance Versus Security

Security
When we trust in Jesus Christ, our eternal security in Christ becomes a spiritual reality whether we understand it or believe it. Ones belief in security in Christ does not make it true or false. If we have trusted in the person and work of Christ for personal salvation, security is a fact.

COMMENTS OF MINE IS CAPS. IT SAID THE FACTS ARE IF YOU GOT SAVED ITS A FACT YOUR IN HEAVEN FOREVER. GOD IS GOOD IS A FACT BUT until WE MAKE IT OURS WE DO NOT FEEL IT. WHEN I GOT SAVED I WAS TOLD TO READ THE BIBLE NO MATTER HOW I FEEL. FEELING SAVED IS NOT BEING SAVED. I SOMETIME DO NOT FEEL LIKE I AM A AMERICAN BUT I AM.
Assurance
Assurance is the confident realization of that security. It is the realization of what we have in Christ such as eternal life, forgiveness of sin, and being the object of God’s personal care as his children. Assurance has to do with our comprehension of the facts and provisions of salvation through faith in Christ. This is a crucial doctrine because, properly understood, it will touch the believer’s life in several areas. Not only does it give assurance of salvation, but with that also comes a greater assurance of God’s provision in all areas of life.
LIKE I SAID THE TRUTH IS ONE IS SAVED FOREVER. WE CAN NOT FEEL IT BUT THE LOVE OF GOD IS NOT REALLY ALL FEELINGS. WE KNOW IT IS A ACTION. JESUS DEATH IS ACTION AND EVENT THAT SHOWS HE IS GIVING THE GREATEST LOVE OF ALL. JESUS SAID GREATER LO VE IS THIS THAT ONE LAID DOWN HIS LIFE SO HE LOVED US MORE THAN ANYONE EVER DID. AND THEN HE GAVE THE FAITH AND WHEN HE GET SAVED WE HAD THE RIGHT TO BE THE CHILD OF GOD. WE ARE ADOPTED INTO A FOREVER TYPE OF THING.

He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how will He not also with Him freely give us all things?
When people do not have assurance, we should always begin by sharing the gospel to be sure they have truly trusted in Christ. Once this is confirmed, then move on to the matters of assurance.
Reasons Why People Lack Assurance
(1) People often lack assurance because they cannot remember or point to a specific time when they received Christ. Some doubt or wonder if they were ever really saved. There is a specific point in time when salvation occurs—the point when regeneration takes place. The issue for people is to know if they now really trust in the person and work of Christ. \
IT IS IMPORTANT TO HAVE the TIME AND PLACE. JESUS DID NOT ASK FOR IT BUT IF YOU HAVE TRUSTED JESUS ALONE YOUR SAVED AND IF YOU LIVE LIKE WOOLARD AND CLAIM JESUS YOUR NOT SAVED IN THE LEAST BIT. IT IS HOW YOU LIVE AND HOW JESUS CHANGES YOU THAT PROVES THE TRUTH. IF JESUS IS YOUR REASON FOR LIVING AND YOU LOVE HIM AND DO AS HE ASKS YOU YOUR SAVED. IF YOUR EARNING THE GRACE AND DOING IT YOUR WAY NO SALVATION BECAUSE JESUS DID IT ALL.

(2) People often lack assurance because they question the procedure they went through when they accepted Christ. Many evangelists and preachers emphasize the need for some form of public confession of faith like going forward at the end of a service or raising your hand. If people receive Christ privately, they may wonder if they should have made a public confession or prayed a different prayer. JESUS DID NOT DO THE ALTAR CALL, IT WAS IN OUR DAY THAT WAS TO BE. IT WAS IN THE 1900 IT CAME TO BE. IF YOU DID NOT GO FORWARD IN A SERVICE THAT IS NOT WHAT THE BIBLE IS TEACHING. SOME THINK IT IS BUT IF YOUR FAITH IS IN JESUS ALONE YOUR SAVED. GOING FORWARD MAKES NO ONE SAVED IT IS THE LORD AND YOUR HEART THAT THE SAVINGS TOOK PLACE. TO SIGN A CARD IS A GOOD THING BUT IF YOU THINK THAT IS ALL NO IT IS JESUS AND WHAT HE DID ON THE CROSS AND HOW YOU MAKE THAT APPLY IN LIFE.

(3) People often lack assurance because of struggles they have with certain sins. They wonder if a true believer would have these kinds of problems. The real problem is ignorance of man’s sinful nature, the spiritual warfare we are in, God’s means of deliverance, and the need to grow and mature in Christ. WE ALL SIN FOLKS AND SALVATION IS THE GIFT WE HAVE. WE HAVE THINGS JESUS GAVE US TO FIGHT SIN LIKE GOING TO JESUS AND ASKING FOR FORGIVENESS AND 1 JOHN 9 GRANTS FORGIVENESS EVERY TIME. FRIENDS CONFESS YOUR SINS AND THEN AS THEY TELL ME DROP IT. JESUS DIED FOR ALL YOUR SINS AND HE LOVES YOU AND PLEADS YOUR CASE AND WINS IT EVERYTIME. GET OVER IT CHILD OF GOD SINS ARE FORGVEN.

(4) The primary reason behind a lack of assurance is doctrinal misunderstanding and the consequent lack of faith in the finished work of Christ. This means a failure to understand the Word and its teaching regarding mankind, his sin and inability to work for or maintain his salvation, God’s perfect holiness, and the finished nature and sufficiency of the work of Christ.

(5) Finally, people often lack assurance because they have erroneously been taught that they should look to themselves and their works as the primary proof of their salvation. This is a major issue today. Robert Lightner writes:
Those who think the sinner must make Christ Lord of his life, or at least promise to do so, before he can be saved make assurance rest on the evidence of a surrendered walk. MacArthur cites this as the only way a believer can be assured of his or her salvation. ‘Genuine assurance comes from seeing the Holy Spirit’s transforming work in one’s life, not from clinging to the memory of some experience.’7
So what is the proper basis for assurance? Should we look to some experience or our works? WE LOOK TO THE BIBLE AND THE TRUTH NOT TO WHAT WE DO. WE ARE NOT SAVED BY WORKS WE DID JESUS DIED FOR IT. I THINK MAC IS NOT QUOTED RIGHT IN THIS BECAUSE IF ONE IS SAVED AND IS ABLE HE WOULD LOSE IT BUT HE CANNOT LOSE IT BECAUSE JESUS HAS THE SPIRIT TO SEAL THE DEAL IN EPH.
Foundations for Assurance
The Word of God
The Word of God is God’s witness to the believer (). The Greek text includes the article with the word “life.” Salvation in Christ is not just the gift of life, but of “the life,” the one which comes only through faith in God’s unique Son. The clear declaration of Scripture is that the one who believes in Christ’s person and work on the cross as God’s provision for his sins has:
(1) Eternal life.
The one who believes in the Son has eternal life. The one who rejects the Son will not see life, but God’s wrath remains on him.
But he answered them, “The man who made me well said to me, ‘Pick up your mat and walk.’” 12 They asked him, “Who is the man who said to you, ‘Pick up your mat and walk’?” 13 But the man who had been healed did not know who it was, for Jesus had slipped out, since there was a crowd in that place.
(2) Forgiveness of all sin.
About him all the prophets testify, that everyone who believes in him receives forgiveness of sins through his name.
And even though you were dead in your transgressions and in the uncircumcision of your flesh, he nevertheless made you alive with him, having forgiven all your transgressions.
13 And you, being dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, He has made alive together with Him, having forgiven you all trespasses, 14 rhaving wiped out the 9handwriting of requirements that was against us, which was contrary to us. And He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross. 15 sHaving disarmed tprincipalities and powers, He made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them in it.
(3) Freedom from condemnation.
“I tell you the solemn truth, the one who hears my message and believes the one who sent me has eternal life and will not be condemned, but has crossed over from death to life.
There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.
(4) Justification (declared righteous by God).
Therefore, since we have been declared righteous by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,
What then shall we say that Abraham, our ancestor according to the flesh, has discovered regarding this matter? 2 For if Abraham was declared righteous by the works of the law, he has something to boast about—but not before God. 3 For what does the scripture say? “ Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness.” 4 Now to the one who works, his pay is not credited due to grace but due to obligation. 5 But to the one who does not work, but believes in the one who declares the ungodly righteous, his faith is credited as righteousness. 6 So even David himself speaks regarding the blessedness of the man to whom God credits righteousness apart from works:
He was given over because of our transgressions and was raised for the sake of our justification.
(5) Salvation.
For by grace you are saved through faith, and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God; 9 it is not from works, so that no one can boast.
(6) A child of God by faith.
But to all who have received him—those who believe in his name—he has given the right to become God’s children
For all who are led by the Spirit of God are the sons of God. 15 For you did not receive the spirit of slavery leading again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption, by whom we cry, “Abba, Father.” 16 The Spirit himself bears witness to our spirit that we are God’s children. 17 And if children, then heirs (namely, heirs of God and also fellow heirs with Christ)—if indeed we suffer with him so we may also be glorified with him.

I want to spend time in the word

PS 86      Bow down Your ear, O Lord, hear me;
     For I am poor and needy.

Really without Jesus I am nothing. O am poor without Jesus and when I go and think of the things Jesus did for me and who Jesus is then I tend to do better. It is needful to always go to the Lord first and I fail so much at this. One thing here is that when we talk to Jesus he is going to hear us and he loves us to come with all our needs

2     Preserve my 1life, for I am holy;
     You are my God;
     Save Your servant who trusts in You!
` I am not in me holy, I am holy because in Jesus I am who he is. God made me holy when I was saved and made me able to come to him because of the Love of Jesus. Holy is so perfect and in the blood of Jesus I am perfect already,

3     Be merciful to me, O Lord,
     For I cry to You all day long.

Do not treat me as you ought to. Jesus nevfer is fair with me he is always over fair with me in grace. If I am bad he forgave me and needs me to repent or to turn from my sins. If I do he restores me and fills me with his grace. I love his grace that never ends.

4     2Rejoice the soul of Your servant,
     aFor to You, O Lord, I lift up my soul.

Jesus is joyed in us. What a thought Gods Joy is in you and I loving him and depending on him. Jesus wants to help us so we love and share in his grace. Jesus is for us and not wishing to give us anything but his blessings and grace. I mess up in looking for blessings and not him

5     For bYou, Lord, are good, and ready to forgive,
     And abundant in mercy to all those who call upon You.

God is good and wants to be good and is not able to be bad in anyway. God has never done bad and does all in love and grace. Good means God is kind and pleasant and he is just a kind loving daddy that wants us to love and trust him. God wants to forgive all your sins and not hold them over you. It is the blood of Jesus that takes them and cleans then and I think the day one gets saved they are all forgiven forever.
Col 2 11 In Him you were also mcircumcised with the circumcision made without hands, by nputting off the body 8of the sins of the flesh, by the circumcision of Christ, 12 oburied with Him in baptism, in which you also were raised with Him through pfaith in the working of God, qwho raised Him from the dead. 13 And you, being dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, He has made alive together with Him, having forgiven you all trespasses, 14 rhaving wiped out the 9handwriting of requirements that was against us, which was contrary to us. And He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross. 15 sHaving disarmed tprincipalities and powers, He made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them in it.
     And attend to the voice of my supplications.
7     In the day of my trouble I will call upon You,
     For You will answer me.

Jesus is going to hear me when I call to him. He wants to hear me and loves it when I come to him.

So JW you are a creep and I wish you well. You took a ton of money so your not close to being saved. Matter is your in danger of the flames of hell for this and I hope you repent. I k now your just not going to love your life. I hope you know your just not going to bew free longer and your freedom is gone. I never gave you anything for money and the truth is your going to go just for the 250 you stole. Yes nothing you siad is right, You grand parents are alive. I know you have not worked and i THINK YOUR on drugs and your not going to ever be a good person and you lie and lie until you die then try to get in. Jesus said if you obeyed him your saved and if your not obeying Jesus and loving the Lord over all you over. If you steal friend I do not care if you go to church your not saved unless you do what Jesus said he is going to do in you. No one steals and then is saved. Jesus did not listen to the good people he listens to the ones who need him and rely on him for everything. Jesus did not save the people that said they were good he saved the sinners that were in need of grace. JW you need to repent and that means undoing the theft and paying all the money you owe and then get a job and pay your self a while and save until you retire. I got to send money every week to my retirement fund. I need to work a thing where 200 a month is going for the need of a vacation and rest. Then I need to use the other money and go on a tighter plan so I do not need to work in the summer and plan for a day when work is not there. I want to remain independent and get my cash flow going I ought to tithe and see if the truth will not help me in my life. It is going to take 40 a week to go to truth and life in January. I can do that if I keep working and invest into a account and save money\

Be sure to listen to the singers and tell me if you like them.

I lost 800 bucks and anyone with info to find it will get a reward. I am asking for prayer. I also had a chat with my friend that thinks hell does not last forever and he is not going to repent of this and it might mean I go after him for church discipline. I am not ok with him teaching anyone in che church or him having authority in my church. I GUESS I spoke and it is not enough of a thing to be out of leadership if he does not teach this in the church, I spoke to one that said that so leave it there and allow the Lord to think it over and deal with this. I need however to show folks where in the bible I am coming from.

Key Facts About Eternity
(1)Everyone will exist eternally either in heaven or hell (Daniel 12:2,3; Matthew 25:46; John 5:28; Revelation 20:14,15).
Daniel 12 2     And many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake,
     dSome to everlasting life,
     Some to shame eand everlasting 1contempt.
3     Those who are wise shall fshine
     Like the brightness of the firmament,
     gAnd those who turn many to righteousness
     hLike the stars forever and ever.

Matt 25 41 “Then He will also say to those on the left hand, i‘Depart from Me, you cursed, jinto the everlasting fire prepared for kthe devil and his angels: 42 for I was hungry and you gave Me no food; I was thirsty and you gave Me no drink; 43 I was a stranger and you did not take Me in, naked and you did not clothe Me, sick and in prison and you did not visit Me.’
44 “Then they also will answer 4Him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and did not minister to You?’ 45 Then He will answer them, saying, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, linasmuch as you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to Me.’ 46 And mthese will go away into everlasting punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.”
Note everlasting punshment not just a million years? Everlasting hell.

John 5 28 Do not marvel at this; for the hour is coming in which all who are in the graves will zhear His voice 29 aand come forth— bthose who have done good, to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil, to the resurrection of condemnation. 30 cI can of Myself do nothing. As I hear, I judge; and My judgment is righteous, because dI do not seek My own will but the will of the Father who sent Me.
One has only one life in which to determine their destiny (Hebrews 9:27).
(3)Heaven or hell is determined by whether a person believes (puts their trust) in Christ alone to save them (John 3:16, 36, etc.).
(3) Hell is conscious torment.
Matthew 13:50 “furnace of fire…weeping and gnashing of teeth”
Mark 9:48 “where their worm does not die, and the fire is not quenched”
Revelation 14:10 “he will be tormented with fire and brimstone”
(4) Hell is eternal and irreversible.
Revelation 14:11 “the smoke of their torment goes up forever and ever and they have no rest day and night”
Revelation 20:14 “This is the second death, the lake of fire”
Revelation 20:15 “If anyone’s name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire”
(2) Hell is too severe a punishment for man’s sin.
Response: God is holy-perfect (1 Peter 1:14,15).
Sin is willful opposition to God our creator (Romans 1:18-32).
Our sin does merit hell (Romans 1:32; 2:2,5,6).
What is unfair and amazing is that Christ died for our sin and freely offers salvation to all (Romans 2:4; 3:22-24; 4:7,8; 5:8,9).
Rev 11 Then I saw a great white throne and Him who sat on it, from whose face uthe earth and the heaven fled away. vAnd there was found no place for them. 12 And I saw the dead, wsmall and great, standing before 3God, xand books were opened. And another ybook was opened, which is the Book of Life. And the dead were judged zaccording to their works, by the things which were written in the books. 13 The sea gave up the dead who were in it, aand Death and Hades delivered up the dead who were in them. bAnd they were judged, each one according to his works. 14 Then cDeath and Hades were cast into the lake of fire. dThis is the second 4death. 15 And anyone not found written in the Book of Life ewas cast into the lake of fire.
Macs bible
20:12 standing before God. In a judicial sense, as guilty, condemned prisoners before the bar of divine justice. There are no living sinners left in the destroyed universe since all sinners were killed and all believers glorified. books. These books record every thought, word, and deed of sinful men—all recorded by divine omniscience (see note on Dan. 7:10, the verse that is the source of this text). They will provide the evidence for eternal condemnation. Cf. 18:6,7. Book of Life. It contains the names of all the redeemed (Dan. 12:1; see notes on 3:5). judged according to their works. Their thoughts (Luke 8:17; Rom. 2:16), words (Matt. 12:37), and actions (Matt. 16:27) will be compared to God’s perfect, holy standard (Matt. 5:48; 1 Pet. 1:15,16) and will be found wanting (Rom. 3:23). This also implies that there are degrees of punishment in hell (cf. Matt. 10:14,15; 11:22; Mark 12:38–40; Luke 12:47,48; Heb. 10:29).
20:13 Death and Hades. See note on 1:18. Both terms describe the state of death. All unrighteous dead will appear at the Great White Throne Judgment; none will escape. All the places that have held the bodies of the unrighteous dead will yield up new bodies suited for hell.

I GET TO PLAY DADDY IN GOLF IN THE AFTERNOON SO I AM SO GLAD. I am not driving the ball real well but Iam going to just keep going and trust in time I will get better. I know I can do better.

Phil 3 8 Yet indeed I also count all things loss nfor the excellence of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them as rubbish, that I may gain Christ 9 and be found in Him, not having omy own righteousness, which is from the law, but pthat which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which is from God by faith; 10 that I may know Him and the qpower of His resurrection, and rthe fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death, 11 if, by any means, I may sattain 2to the resurrection from the dead.

Paul is in Jail here when he wrote the above. He was locked up for telling folks about Jesus and his love. I think this is awesome man who Loved Jesus and knew Jesus. He knew Jesus better than most and he had Jesus love in him. He said everything in this life is worth nothing compared to gaining Jesus. Jesus love is so awesome that to Paul it is worth all in the world to have it. Knowing Jesus and having his grace and rightness is better than billions in cash and all the friends in the world, yet what I would give to have all my friends and family to know Jesus.

Here is a verse on the Hell
41 “Then He will also say to those on the left hand, i‘Depart from Me, you cursed, jinto the everlasting fire prepared for kthe devil and his angels: 42 for I was hungry and you gave Me no food; I was thirsty and you gave Me no drink; 43 I was a stranger and you did not take Me in, naked and you did not clothe Me, sick and in prison and you did not visit Me.’

Note EVERLASTING FIRE, NOT DEATH TO A SOUL.

REV 20 10 The devil, who deceived them, was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone swhere 2the beast and the false prophet are. And they twill be tormented day and night forever and ever.

REV 13 11 And athe smoke of their torment ascends forever and ever; and they have no rest day or night, who worship the beast and his image, and whoever receives the mark of his name.”

NBA I think the MN team will be ok this time and the trade was ok with me. We got a shooter and a center and we freed up some cash in the cap so we can get a player. I do not think this is going to be the key but can help us build to a better team...

Lets start a little thing and lets look in the bible at the Lord Jesus for a time each time. Lets keep our focus on Jesus and his love for us and for the unsaved.

Here is the next few weeks on the blog and the things I hope to cover. We are going to look into the old test to see the bibles talk on Jesus and how his life is all told before he ever lived on the earth. I do this to look at the truth and not let the unsaved have excuse to think the bible is a lie.
Psalms 2 7     “I will declare the 7decree:
     The Lord has said to Me,
     f‘You are My Son,
     Today I have begotten You.

Jesus here is told to be the son of God before he even was thought of. In the new times Jesus was just that.
Luke 1 29 But 6when she saw him, dshe was troubled at his saying, and considered what manner of greeting this was. 30 Then the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found efavor with God. 31 fAnd behold, you will conceive in your womb and bring forth a Son, and gshall call His name Jesus. 32 He will be great, hand will be called the Son of the Highest; and ithe Lord God will give Him the jthrone of His kfather David. 33 lAnd He will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of His kingdom there will be no end.”

Some of you are going to read this and think I hate you but I am doing the loving thing. I am in south cali right now at the resolved weekend and the topic is on hell and heaven. Jesus wants you to go to heaven. Many if not most of my readers will not go to heaven because they think wrong things. Heaven is as real as the car you drive and so is hell. Hell is what many of you want because you think there is no God. There is a God and friend you are going to face him no matter what you think or believe and some of you that think this is a fairy tale will suffer a hell forever you do not want to try out. Hell is a awful thing people, Jesus will allow you to go there where Jesus is not there. The most painful tourture is going to be there with no release from it forever. Hell is a burning place that all who reject Jesus go to with a memory and pain that is real. Allk faiths outside Jesus are subject to God and hell is where you go if Jesus is not your king or you fail to make him Lord and trust his word completely. It is not whatever you thin k is right is right it is Jesus the way and if you do not love him your doomed no matter what.

Heaven is going to be so much better and God is going to dwell with his people. It is going to be a place of delight and forgiveness and perfection. Jesus is going to make it and he knows what it needs the things you want there. It is not easy to go to heaven. It is impossible. On your own you need to have Jesus work it inside of you. Jesus gives you a chance and every time you reject Jesus is a serious thing and might be the last time and Jesus might make it impossible to get out of hell. This is so serious that I am going to lay out what you must do

1 You must know God loves you and made you \
2 You have sinned and God must punish you and will not let you off the hook. I have sinned and one lie or stealing a mere pen makes you guily. It is one sin that is needed to make you not perfect and God is going to punish one sin.
3 If you grasp the sin is so serious then you will see and get the reason Jesus died. Your in a courtroom and your sin is costing you forever in hell. If you say to the judge you were good it is not a matter of the good you do it is the sin and you must be sent to hell. Jesus offered to pay your sin by coming to earth and paying your sin debt and then he takes all your sins and he died on the cross in your place and if sent to hell and you get to go and walk into heaven

If you take Jesus sin is forgiven and heaven is real for you
if you reject this your in no hope for good and this is a time you read the truth and your heart will b ecome hard or has and Jesus is not going to save you

please do not go to hell. Every man in hell bags you to turn to Jesus today

Mike Reagan: I Am Disgusted with California

Friday, May 16, 2008 8:59 AM

By: Phil Brennan Article Font Size

Reacting to the decision of the California Supreme Court to ignore Proposition 22, which declares that “Only marriage between a man and a woman is valid or recognized in California," and was passed with a whopping 61 percent of the vote, an outraged Michael Reagan urged California voters to join him in refusing to vote for any ballot measures in the State of California in the 2008 November election since the courts can simply nullify their votes whenever they want to.

Reagan, whose father Ronald Reagan served two terms as California’s governor before winning the presidency in 1980, said "I am taking my ballot and mailing it directly to the Supreme Court of California at 350 McAllister Street San Francisco, CA 94102-4797 to allow the judges to decide for us. They’re going to do it anyway.”

Reagan told Newsmax: "We have seen this time and time again, Democracy usurped, the voters wishes do not matter, whether its Proposition 187 or the Gay Marriage Ban, its no longer 'We the People,' it is now, 'They the Judges' who make the decisions in the Golden State. As the son of a former Governor of this state I am disgusted."

Noting that the courts have been thwarting the express will of the people, Reagan explained to NewsMax in an exclusive interview that “Proposition 187, a 1994 ballot initiative designed to deny social services, health care, and public education to illegal aliens that passed with 58.8 percent of the vote was overturned by a federal court, in effect telling the voters their will doesn’t count.

“The state of California has a history of voting for ballot measures. But any time Californians seem to vote for an issue that may be even slightly conservative, the liberal left goes out and shops judges, or as in this case, shops courts, and gets them to overturn ballot measures overwhelmingly supported by the voters,” Reagan said.

California voters have no remedy for judicial interference with their expressed will. Reagan said, “We don’t have a Republican Party, it does not exist, it does nothing, and we have a nincompoop for a governor who wants to raise sale taxes or borrow money from the lottery to pay down the out-of-control debt caused by the liberals who are running this state. I’m about ready to say bring back Grey Davis, the guy we recalled.

Schwarzenegger has vetoed two measures that would have authorized same-sex marriage, and today said he would abide by the court's ruling.

"I respect the court's decision and as governor, I will uphold its ruling," he said in a statement. "Also, as I have said in the past, I will not support an amendment to the constitution that would overturn this state Supreme Court ruling."

Said Mike Reagan “The only recourse California voters have is to protest by following my example and mailing their ballots dealing with the proposed propositions to the State Supreme Court. Let them mark it since it does the voters no good to vote in California when we have a Supreme Court that overturns their will whenever they feel like it."

“Why should I vote?” Reagan asked. “I have no reason to vote so as of now I’m stopping. It doesn’t matter what the voters think. It only matters what liberals in black robes think.”

GIVE ME FREEDOM NOT SOME COURT TELLING ME WHAT GOD SAID. GOD SAID NO SO GOD IS BETTER THAN COURTS. GOD IS MORE IMPORTANT THEN EVERYTYHING TO ME AND IF YOU HURT THE LORD YOU HURT ME

How many times must I say this Homos are not christians and marrige is not okay for them. I think this is going to rob this nation of the blessings of God. I am called nuts but this land is gone and I kinda hope God judges it because we have denyed the Lord and his Laws. If you do this the God is going to destroy our land. God is going to make tons of pain for this land and many are going to lose homes and gas is going to go higher than you want. We need to repent and turn to Jesus. If you break the laws of God your going to break the people in way he can to get people to repent and turn to him. If one fails to turn away from sin you know what happens. And to think I am not loving is stupid, I might be the only one to warn you of truth and hell. That is good. I think this is going to cause the market to go to 5000 and gas goes to 10 bucks a gallon. It is bad but it might get the sinners to turn to God and see he is the way of hope and trust in this world is fleeting and worthless. I do not want people outside of Gods will to have it easy because that will cause people to not repent and go to Jesus. To look for a world solution is just going to make the bible not useful to the sinners but if we have major depression and tons of pain we might get more into the family and then we glorfy Jesus by a church that is pure and looks to him not to the world.

Cor 14 Therefore, my beloved, vflee from idolatry.
This is to not crown Jesus as Lord and God. It applies to all people of all times in all places. If you have idols your not going to be in Jesus and out of Jesus is out of blessing.

15 I speak as to wwise men; judge for yourselves what I say. 16 xThe cup of blessing which we bless, is it not the 5communion of the blood of Christ? yThe bread which we break, is it not the communion of the body of Christ? 17 For zwe, though many, are one bread and one body; for we all partake of that one bread.
18 Observe aIsrael bafter the flesh: cAre not those who eat of the sacrifices 6partakers of the altar? 19 What am I saying then? dThat an idol is anything, or what is offered to idols is anything? 20 Rather, that the things which the Gentiles esacrifice fthey sacrifice to demons and not to God, and I do not want you to have fellowship with demons. 21 gYou cannot drink the cup of the Lord and hthe cup of demons; you cannot partake of the iLord’s table and of the table of demons. 22 Or do we jprovoke the Lord to jealousy? kAre we stronger than He?

Oh what to cover in the book tonight... Sometimes I do not like for people to come on here and just not agree with my walk with the Lord Jesus. I am not going to have your walk and your walk cannot be mine. Like if your not going to agree with me fine it is ok to post anything you want and I am for the most part ok with anything unless you a JW or a morman and I do not really care where you think. Saying that I want to just say there are so many different church out there and most of them do not want unity. I do not think most people have a good church and I say that because many things are just not right. Take the issues of the gifts of the Spirit. I love you in the AOG but the gifts are not for this time. People do not like me to think that but I think many church folk and I cannot unite because of this. And the people that want to unite wish I made the change. I do not really think I am going to give in to this because I think the gifts are not what the bible asks them to be. To unite I want them to not do the gifts that are not for todays church.

Here is the passage and I think it teachs tons of stuff to the church

1 cor 14 26 How is it then, brethren? Whenever you come together, each of you has a psalm, rhas a teaching, has a tongue, has a revelation, has an interpretation. sLet all things be done for 8edification.
IT IS TO LIFE THE OTHERS UP IN THE BODY NOT FOR YOU AND YOUR FREEDOM. AND IT IS NOT GOOD FOR PEOPLE TO JUST START TEACHING IN THE SERVICE WHEN THERE IS A ORDER TO THE SERVICE. EX WHEN ONE IS SINGING A SOLO ANOTHER IS NOT TO JUST STAND UP AND MAKE A TEACHING. BOTTOM LINE IT NEEDS TO BE DONE IN THE ORDER OF THE SERVICE. AND TODAY IT IS NOT TO BE DONE BECAUSE THIS GIFT WAS FOR ONE TIME. WHEN THE BIBLE WAS DONE THAT WAS ALL YOU GO TO NOT ANOTHER. BIBLE IS ALL YOU NEED

27 If anyone speaks in a tongue, let there be two or at the most three, each in turn, and let one interpret. 28 But if there is no interpreter, let him keep silent in church,
HERE IT IS IF SOMEONE CAN SAY WHAT IT IS YOUR SAYING THEN MAYBE I WOULD BE OK BUT THERE ARE NOT AND IF YOU GO TO A AOG CHURCH EVERYONE IS PRAYING AT ONE TIME AND I THINK THIS IS FAKE AND NOT THE BIBLES WAY OF DOING THINGS. ONE DOES THE TALKING.

and let him speak to himself and to God. 29 Let two or three prophets speak, and tlet the others judge. 30 But if anything is revealed to another who sits by, ulet the first keep silent. 31 For you can all prophesy one by one, that all may learn and all may be encouraged. 32 And vthe spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets. 33 For God is not the author of 9confusion but of peace, was in all the churches of the saints.
34 xLet 1your women keep silent in the churches, for they are not permitted to speak; but they are to be submissive, as the ylaw also says. 35 And if they want to learn something, let them ask their own husbands at home; for it is shameful for women to speak in church.

SORRY BUT THE BIBLE TELLS YOU LADIES TO SHUT UP AND NOT TALK IN THE SERVICE OF THE CHURCH. GOD IS NOT BLESSED IF PASTORS ARE FEMALE BECAUSE THAT IS THE BIBLE AND NOT ME. IF YOU NEED TO KNOW SOMETHING THE MAN IN YOUR LIFE CAN GO OVER IT WITH YOU. IF THE LADIES SING SOLOS FINE AND PLEASE SING TONS AND SING PRETTY BUT NO TEACHING IN CHURCH.

36 Or did the word of God come originally from you? Or was it you only that it reached?
YOU DID NOT WRITE THIS BOOK YOU DO NOT CHANGE IT TO FIT YOUR LIFE YOU CHANGE YOUR LIFE TO FIT THE BIBLES EXPECTED COMMANDS. IF YOU DO NOT LOVE JESUS YOU WILL CHANGE THE BOOK TO FIT YOU AND DO WHATEVER. I AM NOT GOING TO CALL ONE SAVED IF THEY CHANGE THE BIBLE AND THAT IS WHAT THE GOD OF THE BIBLE WORKS, HE MADE THE MAN TO HONOR AND RULE THE WOMAN AND NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND.

37 zIf anyone thinks himself to be a prophet or spiritual, let him acknowledge that the things which I write to you are the commandments of the Lord.
PAUL WAS IN HEAVEN AT ONE TIME AND I THINK THIS IS THE DIRECT TEACHING OF JESUS AND I FOLLOW IT AS IT SITS. IF NOT THEN WHAT IS. TRHE BIBLE IS THE WAY IT WAS WRITTEN FOR A REASON AND IT IS NOT UP TO YOU TO CHANGE IT. PEOPLE DO IN THIS TIME AND THAT IS A THING THAT CAN CAUSE ONE TO LOSE HEAVEN IF THEY ARE SAVED. THE ONLY THING. DO NOT CHANGE THE BOOK

38 But 2if anyone is ignorant, let him be ignorant.
39 Therefore, brethren, adesire earnestly to prophesy, and do not forbid to speak with tongues. 40 bLet all things be done decently and in order.

BUT NOT IN THIS TIME BECAUSE THE GIFTS ARE GOINE UNTIL THE END TIMES AND THEN THE GIFTS WILL BE IN THE BODY WHEN JESUS IS HERE

OT APPS

God used the sins of the past to bring down people. Joe was sold to the people that came out of the sin of Abe. Sins are going to catch up with us or the people that come after us. We got to not sin because it can cause thing long after us to go haywire.

It seems thazt when Joe had the dreams the word of God was declared and the brothers lost it. If the truth of the end times. Some just make the bible a book to have on the shelf but if we went to it a nd got the truth and lived it we might get some good. Like if we see sin is so bad and God hates it we might seek to beat it and not look for what we can do and get by with and find in heaven we could of read the book and followed it and got so much more done and knew Jesus a whole lot better. Whytt make the bible not thew actual words of the creator and follow all of them and get more out of life and health. God wrote a book and it is alone the bible

Look at Jacob who knew the dreams but looked at something and forgot the word of God. If he though it over and saw the truth then maybe he would of called the brothers out and knew better. If we are going to look at the world we see nothing that good but we are not in the world we are in the kingdom and Jesus said not to worry he cares for us.

SO I was listing to my pod on the way home tonight and Petra has this song about heaven and the truth that when we get there we are going to see all the saved friends we knew are going to be there. I do not know if I ever posted a song to my page but I am going to tonight. Its like I am going to win all my christians friends and get to see them forever and never say good bye. I think it is a good thing for people in the faith to think on and long for and I think heaven is going to be just cool and blessed. If you do not know for sure your saved you can find someone to share it with you and then we can say Hello Again to you

Words by Bob Hartman
Based on Revelation 21:4

Everybody has to say their goodbyes
While they wipe away the tears from their eyes
Everybody bids a fonder farewell
When they know there won't be any sequel
Everybody says a Sayonara
When they know they won't be back tomorrow
Everybody hopes to have reunions
Back together with the ones they knew once

There's a salutation that's reserved for heaven's own

(Chorus)
Hello again- we're back together
Hello again- we're here forever
Hello again- rejoined in heaven
Hello again

Everybody's gonna be there waiting
They just want to see you graduating
Gonna see the ones who've gone before us
They'll be cheering in a mighty chorus
Everybody will be glad to see ya
Even if it wasn't their idea
Every argument will be forgotten
We remember them for now but not then

When we see each other there'll be just one thing to say...

Say goodbye to the loneliness forever (Never be alone)
Say hello to the garden once again
Say goodbye to this world of stormy weather
Say hello to the One who calls you "friend"
I can't wait until we're reunited and we say...

Lets nail Obama and not let him get into the white house. This is my goal to trash this man and to show you this man is not a Christian and not good for you to vote for. He sat under a Pastor who is a black man who uses his race to get people to go to his church. No We do not need this. He wants to raise your tax and not cut it. No We do not need more tax we need less government and more freedom. Taxs are to high for everyone and the less money they have the less power they have. No I do not love the government and I do not want abortions to happen. Obama made a law in his life to not save the baby even after it is aborted it lives. Obama is so anti pro life that is insane and He is not going to get my vote. He will not put people of faith on the high court as they need to be to keep God in this land.

Here are some of his ideas and why they are not good
Early Childhood Education
Zero to Five Plan: Obama's comprehensive "Zero to Five" plan will provide critical support to young children and their parents. Unlike other early childhood education plans, Obama's plan places key emphasis at early care and education for infants, which is essential for children to be ready to enter kindergarten. Obama will create Early Learning Challenge Grants to promote state "zero to five" efforts and help states move toward voluntary, universal pre-school.
No let the PARENTS NOT THE government RAISE KIDS. It is not the goverments job they will tell them there is no God and this is not freedom to raise the kids. MOM and DAD are the people they need from 0 to 5.
Obama will recruit math and science degree graduates to the teaching profession and will support efforts to help these teachers learn from professionals in the field. He will also work to ensure that all children have access to a strong science curriculum at all grade levels.
NO let this go bad. Science is not right to teach the beginning was not from God alone and EVOLUTION ought to be banned from all public schools. Teach the truth that we do not know but some think this and others say this. Yes teach the true stuff and I can live with that

Simplify the Application Process for Financial Aid: Obama will streamline the financial aid process by eliminating the current federal financial aid application and enabling families to apply simply by checking a box on their tax form, authorizing their tax information to be used, and eliminating the need for a separate application.

I like this one so he has one good idea. Make less government and less money to run it

Obama will immediately begin to remove our troops from Iraq. He will remove one to two combat brigades each month, and have all of our combat brigades out of Iraq within 16 months. Obama will make it clear that we will not build any permanent bases in Iraq. He will keep some troops in Iraq to protect our embassy and diplomats; if al Qaeda attempts to build a base within Iraq, he will keep troops in Iraq or elsewhere in the region to carry out targeted strikes on al Qaeda.
Yes but a thing or 2 I would like to see. We have the option to go back if Iran tries to tak over or they get a government that is killing the people.

Protecting Our Chemical Plants
Chemical plants are attractive terrorist targets because they are often located near cities, are relatively easy to attack, and contain multi-ton quantities of hazardous chemicals. While a number of plants have taken voluntary steps to improve security, there are still major gaps; and the federal government has never established meaningful, permanent security regulations. Senator Obama worked with Senator Frank Lautenberg (D-NJ) to introduce comprehensive chemical plant security legislation that would establish a clear set of federal regulations that all plants must follow. The bill requires chemical facilities to enhance security, including improving barriers, containment, mitigation, and safety training, and, where possible, using safer technology, such as less toxic chemicals.

Make a fund to protect all plants with national guards and the army. Make weapons that will kill the attacker of any thing that might try anything.
Keeping Track of Spent Nuclear Fuel
The nation has 103 operating nuclear power plants which annually produce over 2,000 metric tons of spent fuel that remains highly radioactive for many years. A report by the Government Accountability Office found inadequate tracking and security for spent nuclear fuel rods. Nuclear plants in Connecticut, Vermont and California have reported missing spent fuel in the last five years. Senator Obama introduced legislation to establish guidelines for tracking, controlling, and accounting for spent fuel at nuclear power plants.

Make a form so we know where every pound is accounted for and make this a law now.

Clinton the bitch is not going to win and I hope she falls flat on her face and loses the thing. I continue to not like anything about her. Nothing she does is good for me because she is a jerk and a Commie and not good for free people. She wants to shut down free talk radio because they hate her, she wants to get the job creators to pay more tax and take away the funds to give to folks who need more and she wants to take over everybody's life and take the freedom from the Christians to educate their kids which the government does not own in anyway. She has spoke out to the right wingers CHRISTANS. Friends Clinton is not saved in her policy's do not reflect the truth of God who is the creator and lawmaker of the world and will determine the fate of all people everywhere. Her heath care is a communust take over of the people and makes us rely on a failed government which she thinks can solve problems. No Jesus alone is the one to solve your problems. We cannot afford Her taxs which will take more of your hard earned money you made. She will make gas go higher because she is going to pull troops out and the Iranians are going to take the land with the gas over and jack up a oil thing to 600 bucks and your going to pay out of your ears for gas.

God is Love and Love is not a thing people like to think it is. If you love someone you ought to be willing to give your life for them and die for them. No God did more in his Love he gave the best thing he had and that was Jesus to die for you. Now I talked to pastors and I asked them to give me their son for me and not one has ever given that much. Jesus was given by God and he had to kill him and not be a part of his life to gain you. So love is not a free thing that lets you get away with things, it is a messy thing that Jesus bled for to get you back.

This nonsense people today call love is lust and a feeling and Love is not that. Love is not letting sin go by it is actully saying sin is horrid and we are not going to do it anymore. God loves some more than others, its called election some he chooes to die for and others he did not die for as he blinds then to the truth and salvation is not part of their life. If your not a Born Again Christian your not in the lone to be in heaven and your just not chosen but you can come. If your even thinking of God you better get into the bible and get saved because in the last month 3 people I know have gone on and have gotten to the judgement and are no longer ok to get saved. You die your fate is sealed and Love is going to tell you that your wrong and need to get right. Love is not allowing you to have the chance to get saved. Hate is to just let you go to hell. If I hate you I am not going to try to get you saved. Salvation is hard to get and impossible for you to keep in less you get saved from the Lord. On your own you will not make it to heaven.

If your in Jesus Love is the thing that grants you the comfort in all things. He is there when you lose a loved one, he is there when you lose a job and he is going to care for you. If you know Jesus and your alone He is the best thing that you ever have. He is there in the desert of Iraq in the war with the people who know him and loves them. He is in all places at all times.

So what is it to love. Its told by Jesus
Luke 10 30 Then Jesus answered and said: “A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among 9thieves, who stripped him of his clothing, wounded him, and departed, leaving him half dead. ( so this man is just beat up and down. He was a nothing to the people of the day but Jesus said this is the test we have. If you do not love the outcasts and the low people your not in Jesus.)
31 Now by chance a certain priest came down that road. And when he saw him, khe passed by on the other side.( A pastor in a baptist church that does not have compassion, a person who needs to look good to the church. People who think Church is more important than real people. Looks are not what we are going for it is the heart of the Love of Jesus. Anyone that said Church meeting are bigger than helping others are fooling themselves and Jesus is not in them.)

32 Likewise a Levite, when he arrived at the place, came and looked, and passed by on the other side.( people that want to follow the code and make dress codes and then make people go to church and follow the rules. I had this happen to me and I told people to leave that church because of it and people did leave because of people who set things of looks and dress over the word of Jesus. I still think it is not a good place to attend because the pastor does not repent and serve people but demands to be served. Pastors your to serve not be served. You set a example and serve your church.)

33 But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was. And when he saw him, he had mcompassion.( It was the last person in that time who was not part of the Good People Club. Not the Duckerts who had all the right clothes and the right prayers and the right bible. It was the Ron and Tamera where the church kicked them out because they did not look the part and did things for people who stoped and worked on the person and made sacrifices to help people instead of going to the Pastors false teaching. A sermon that was telling me not to forgive the nonsaved. And the church did not fire on the spot that man. If my Pastor said something like that he would have been fired and his name out on the net As I did. Then the man told me to shut down my page and not teach you the bible on the net. No this man who showed Jesus love was a man that was a outcast to the church and he loved the person who is not loveable. You all were nothing to Jesus until He saw you and out of shear pity saved you by paying God the full price of salvation. Love is hard work and its dirty and hard. )

34 So he went to him and bandaged his wounds, pouring on oil and wine; and he set him on his own animal, brought him to an inn, and took care of him. 35 On the next day, 1when he departed, he took out two ndenarii, gave them to the innkeeper, and said to him, ‘Take care of him; and whatever more you spend, when I come again, I will repay you.’
He left his visa and would pay for the person to get better and gave him 2 days pay. That is true love If you are not willing to give out of your wealth. If your not willing to give all you have to Jesus do not call youself saved and if your going to church to look good and get any reward like heven please do not call yourself saved Please get messy and love others
36 So which of these three do you think was neighbor to him who fell among the thieves?”
37 And he said, “He who showed mercy on him.”
Then Jesus said to him, o“Go and do likewise.”

Jacob used the word of God as he went to meet Esau. We got the bible and sometimes I need it to fall back on the things that worry me. If I am worried I am told I can go to God in prayer and give it to him. Ron asked me for the bibles central message and I think it is a book God wrote to tell us about him and who he is and what he did and what he wants us to do about that. Jesus is the central point of all the bible and the cross is the point that all the bible points to. All of the books of the bible point to Jesus. Where Ron and I disagree is the point of Lordship of Jesus in the life of a christian. He said Jesus did the law and now we are free and I agree yet I think the freedom is not to sin and to follow the law. The bible is the love letter but if you do get saved you have to do things after your saved because you love the Lord. The bible tells you about Jesus and that alone is enough to make me want to know everything I can of the Lord. I want to know everthing God told us in the bible because I want to know the Lord and who he is and what he does.

I did some of the series on who God is and I want to go over the bible and just feast on Jesus and who he is so Ican relate to him and see how he worked in the past. Look at Jacob and how he rested in the truth in the Lord when he has hard things happen to him. Also look at the man who wrestles with God and was named for the nation.

Leman was a man that was jealous and wanted more that God wanted to give. Oh I am like that I want more and I want more than I am given. He used God to get rich but did not think of worshiping the Lord and was not content. We are to be content on the things we have. This is not a command but common sense and it is going to make us feeling better about things because we are not so stressed in getting.... Are you content or are you not? God is going to give what you need but not all you want.

Jacob tended to get rich for his sake. We need to share the money we have to make the church and the people in it better. If we do not give then we are not going to be in the plan of God to help others. Give all you can and then give a bit more because when you do that others we are called to love will have love from us to give.

Today I saw a case out east about a gay mom who became a christian and left her partner and took the kid they had. It was her kid. So the other partner is wanting the kid from the mom. So my friend asks me last night if it is the gays raise the kids to be gay.... Wait I thought they say you cannot help it if your gay so there it is. But to this case where one of the mas got saved and left the partner. So the partner wants to raise her kid that she had as a christian and the other partner wants to parent the kid. So should the kid have 2 moms or just the one mom. I looked for this case and did not find it. I think this is it
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A29965-2004Aug24.html

So here is my take. The marrige to me never was because the bible and God does not see it. It is a hard one because I think it is a sin to end one. But Gays are never a part of a marrige in the eyes of God so it is not a sin to break it off. It is a good thing to break up and go to the right way. But the kid is in a way the other partners and the other partner might have some rights to see the kid. So it is mess for the courts. I see how it could go each way. I say the mom who had the kid is the rightful parent and has the right to not let the other see her. Vermont law said both the parents have the right to the kid and VA law does not see the unions.

What do you think?

God is the maker and substainer of all there ever will be. God spoke this world into being. God then made man and he saw it was Good until man sinned and then man was to work forever until the second comming. People now think God is not there and things happened by chance. I say to them that there is no way it is by chance. If one looks at the body we have it is not just chance that made it. Look at how the eyes are made and what it takes to read a book. Look at the ears and how the sounds have to be made ok in them to get to the brain and then the brain has to make a message and then send it over the vocal cords you have. This is not by chance. Look at the machine your reading from. It is a man made thing. First I hit keys and the keys are letters that make words (sometimes) that form a readable format on my screen. Then the text is copied into a thing that takes it and turns all my thoughts into numbers and sends it to a website which then takes the text and redoes it so it can be read by the computer it sits on. For you to read it you have to get onto a working machine and type in the site. The computer then takes your request and talks to a number of machines and gets you to the page which is then sent again by binery to your machine and you read it. Man Made and a plan does it. Darin wants to think that we just come from nothing but if you think that I would call you insane and in need of logical help. I mean that is so far fetched. God made the world and anyone that thinks this is not true is like I say insane.

Is 45 18     For thus says the Lord, ( Lord is the maker of the world. If not then who?)
     kWho created the heavens, ( all the stuff in space God made it.)
     Who is God,
     Who formed the earth and made it,
     Who has established it,
     Who did not create it 5in vain,
     Who formed it to be linhabited:
     m“I am the Lord, and there is no other. ( God is talking from the mouth of the writer and he said He is the sole maker of the world and all there is. IN THIS book Jesus death is portayed to the detail. BY the way this is penned 1000 years before Jesus was born. So a book called in detail the entire event to a detail of the death of a man 1000 years before it happens. Its like a book that told the life of Bill Clintion is written in 1000 ad. This book calls it all to a detail about clintion. Impossible? But the bible did that. So if the God of the bible wrote and told of Jesus then he can make all there is.)
19     I have not spoken in nsecret,
     In a dark place of the earth;
     I did not say to the seed of Jacob,
     ‘Seek Me 6in vain’;
     oI, the Lord, speak righteousness,
     I declare things that are right. ( God is and makes all the rules. But would a God who just made a bunch or rules be anything> God came in the flesh and did all the rules perfectly and then died so you can take his life and he takes yours.

Someone once estimated that the number of random genetic factors involved in the evolution of a tapeworm from an amoeba would be comparable to placing a monkey in a room with a typewriter and allowing him to strike the keys at random until he accidentally produced a perfectly spelled and perfectly punctuated typescript of Hamlet’s soliloquy. And the odds of getting all the mutations necessary to evolve a starfish from a one–celled creature are comparable to asking a hundred blind people to make ten random moves each with five Rubik’s Cubes, and finding all five cubes perfectly solved at the end of the process. The odds against all earth’s life forms evolving from a single cell are, in a word, impossible.
MacArthur, John: The Battle for the Beginning : The Bible on Creation and the Fall of Adam. Nashville, TN : W Pub. Group, 2001, S. 39
Take the age of the human race, for example. Hugh Ross believes, on the basis of the fossil record, that the creation of Adam may have occurred as much as fifty thousand years ago.15 But Genesis contains a detailed genea–logy that traces the development of the human race from Adam to Abraham and beyond. The genealogy includes a chronology with the exact ages of individuals when their offspring were born. Archbishop James Ussher did a careful analysis of the genealogies in the seventeenth century and concluded that the date for Adam’s creation was 4004 b.c. Some scholars have suggested that there may be gaps in the genealogy, in which a generation or two is skipped and the name of a grandson or great–grandson is substituted for the name of a son. Such gaps can be demonstrated in some biblical genealogies. (In Matthew 1:8, for instance, Matthew skips three generations from Joram to Uzziah, apparently to maintain a symmetry in the genealogy.) No such gaps can be proven in the detailed genealogies of Genesis 5 and 11. But even allowing for some possible gaps, it’s inconceivable that the date for Adam’s creation could be much more than ten thousand years ago. As Henry Morris has written, “At the outside, it would seem impossible to insert gaps totaling more than about five thousand years in these chapters without rendering the record irrelevant and absurd. Consequently, the Bible will not support a date for the creation of man earlier than about 10,000 b.c.”16

God is forever and that blows my mind. It does tricks to me to think God has been forever and was never made. He was before anything and will be when it is all over. God has not changed and he has tons of ;love for you and tons to give you in Jesus. Jesus is also forever. He became a man and now sits before God all the time working to get his help to you.

Psalms 119      xForever, O Lord,
     Your word 5is settled in heaven.
90     Your faithfulness endures to all generations;
     You established the earth, and it 6abides.

Gods word is forever and we are part of that if we love Jesus. His faithful grace and love is forever. It is going to endure until Jesus is in heaven and we are to and there we will be like Jesus and we will live forever.
Psalms 90 2     cBefore the mountains were brought forth,
     Or ever You 2had formed the earth and the world,
     Even from everlasting to everlasting, You are God.
We sing this in church from everlasting to everlasting. God is forever.
1 Peter 10 But 6may the God of all grace, nwho called 7us to His eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a while, 8perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you. 11 oTo Him be the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen.

Here is the end of the book and the writer talks about the Lord in it. God of Grace, grace means favor and one that gives you what you do not deserve. His Glory or fame. Give the fame for all of your salvation to Jesus who did it all for you. Jesus did all the work and gets all the fame forever of your salvation

Some trimes people just make me mad. One thing is the truth that most of my good pals do not take a stand on the bible and think highly as I do. 2 of them do not want to study it in the right way they want to make me go the way they think and I hate it. One does not read the context and look at the points and make the call and the other does not even try and said the Holy Spirit is the only one that is going to teach it to you. I say you got to sit in a chair and work at it until a passage is right with the bible. I do not like it when folks tell me I am right in a passage yet they are right too. I have been going over the thought of who is God. God does not change ever. He is the same as he was when the world was made and will be the same in 5 million years. God is not going to change because we live in this land at this time. When the bible makes a rule we do not go and change it and when we do we are not ever right. God said no woman pastors and some so called have them. They are wrong and God is right.

God is not going to change the rules to get you out of your hard times.

Ps 119 89     xForever, O Lord,
     Your word 5is settled in heaven.
90     Your faithfulness endures to all generations;
     You established the earth, and it 6abides.

God has spoken in a book and it is the thing we read and it has not changes forever and will never change. We might go to it and find a new thing as God is teaching us but it has not changed ever. Homos are still wrong as Killing is and stealing is. God is the same as he is as holy as he was the first day of the earth and he is still the God of wrath as he was the day Jesus died. But to us Gods love has not changed. We loved us the day we were born the same as today. If we know the truth of Jesus he has granted us a new love but really the same love as he had.

Ps 102 oYour years are throughout all generations.
25     pOf old You laid the foundation of the earth, God made the world
     And the heavens are the work of Your hands.
26     qThey will perish, but You will 4endure;
     Yes, they will all grow old like a garment;
     Like a cloak You will change them,
     And they will be changed.
27     But rYou are the same,
     And Your years will have no end. (God is not changing because he said he never will. It brings my joy God is not going to change his love to me or make people not go to heaven when he already saved him. If the bible said it He is not changeing.

Clinton did not win unless Limbaugh let here by getting millions to the polls and voting to keep the fight in the party over. We fight her and we are going to kill her in the general and I am going to keep fighting to make it so see is not President. She is going to end a war that will make it worse because the Iran people will go in and take Iraq. Ending the war is a good thing if we know that they are going to not have the terror folk come in her. She wants to make change to the schools? Teach the bible and kick the people that hate God out and bring the morals and the truth into the classrooms. Stop being so evolution based and teach the Lord Jesus is the king and all others are going to bow to his rule in the end and every knee is going to bow. Stop allowing kids the rights and make them listen to the truth and only the truth. How bout telling the kids the bible is right and God is going to hold to account every action of the kid and if Jesus is not the king of the life they are headed to a bad place. Place the fear of God into the kids and the fear of hell so they can know the free gift of Jesus into the life so theyt have power and ability to know Jesus.

God controls everything to the roll of the dice in a game. God decides where every drop of rain falls and where every man lives. Nothing in the world happens by chance. God controls every move of every being and every cell of every person in the world. Weather including every storm is controlled by a God who is holy and is the king. Even the people who go to heaven are the ones God personally picks the people who go to heaven and the ones who go to hell.

Ecc 3 14      I know that whatever God does,
     It shall be forever.
     mNothing can be added to it,
     And nothing taken from it.
     God does it, that men should fear before Him

If God decides to not save a person it is his plan and God is right.

Is I jam the Lord, and kthere is no other; (this means every thing that is out there not from God is a fake and if you follow it you are not right. It means if you think Allah is god your wrong and you need to adjust your faith. My family always likes to make me say they are right and if I judge them I am wrong but the truth is they are not into the bible God therefore what they think is right is wrong>)
     There is no God besides Me. (The GOD of the bible is the father of the Lord Jesus)
     lI will gird you, though you have not known Me,6 mThat they may nknow from the rising of the sun to its setting
     That there is none besides Me.
     I am the Lord, and there is no other;
7     I form the light and create darkness, (evolution did not have a thing to do with the creation of the world. Look at the cell and the complex things of the body. Evolution is wrong and your stupid if you even think it is at all right.)
     I make peace and ocreate calamity;
     I, the Lord, do all these things.’(God does it, he does all behind the thinks from making the world to controlling the storms to making games go his way. All games are Gods determined fate. )
No God But God
Most Western-style democracies guarantee freedom of religion. For example, the Bill of Rights of the United States Constitution ensures that American citizens are free to practice whatever religion they choose (as long as they are not harming anyone). Perhaps because of this liberty, many people today assume that all religious beliefs or systems are basically the same. But that is not the case.
The God of the Bible insists that He alone is God. There is no other God besides Him (Is. 46:9). To modern ears, this may sound intolerant, or even arrogant. It certainly conflicts with certain fashionable beliefs today, which claim that more or less everyone and everything is God. But the Lord leaves no room for disagreement or compromise on the point: there is no God but God. One can either agree with Him or call Him a liar, but there is no middle ground.
Suppose we deny that God alone is God. That does not affect God in the least. He simply says that we are wrong, and reminds us that we are mere mortals, who will die. But God also warns us that our perspective is distorted, because we are stubborn-hearted sinners (Is. 46:8, 12). Who are we to decide who and what God is?
God refuses to be bound by our ideas of Him. That’s why He declares the truth to us: “I am God, and there is no other.”
Thomas Nelson Publishers: What Does the Bible Say About-- : The Ultimate A to Z Resource Fully Illustrated. Nashville, Tenn. : Thomas Nelson, 2001 (Nelson's A to Z Series), S. 179
He controls so-called random happenings. “The lot is cast into the lap, but its every decision is from the Lord” (Prov. 16:33). “Are not two sparrows sold for a cent? And yet not one of them will fall to the ground apart from your Father” (Matt. 10:29).
He is sovereign over the free actions of all moral agents. “The king’s heart is like channels of water in the hand of the Lord; He turns it wherever He wishes” (Prov. 21:1). “We are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them” (Eph. 2:10). “It is God who is at work in you, both to will and to work for His good pleasure” (Phil. 2:13).
He determines even the most evil acts of sinners. Peter told the crowd who had demanded Christ’s crucifixion, “This Man, delivered up by the predetermined plan and foreknowledge of God, you nailed to a cross by the hands of godless men and put Him to death. And God raised Him up again, putting an end to the agony of death, since it was impossible for Him to be held in its power” (Acts 2:23–24, emphasis added). The companions of Peter and John prayed, “Truly in this city there were gathered together against Thy holy servant Jesus, whom Thou didst anoint, both Herod and Pontius Pilate, along with the Gentiles and the peoples of Israel, to do whatever Thy hand and Thy purpose predestined to occur” (Acts 4:27–28, emphasis added). Joseph told his brothers, “Now do not be grieved or angry with yourselves, because you sold me here; for God sent me before you to preserve life” (Gen. 45:5). And Isaiah 10:5 says God used the wicked nation of Assyria as the rod of His anger.
He appoints the powers that oversee the evil world system. Pontius Pilate said to Jesus, “Do You not know that I have authority to release You, and I have authority to crucify You?” Jesus replied, “You would have no authority over Me, unless it had been given you from above” (Jn. 19:10–11). Truly “there is no authority except from God, and those which exist are established by God” (Rom. 13:1).
Indeed, the whole course of all events and circumstances is ordained in the divine decree, from the most profound milestone of the divine plan to the most trivial detail. God even determines the number of hairs on our heads (Matt. 10:30).
MacArthur, John, F., Jr: The Vanishing Conscience. Electronic ed. Dallas : Word Pub., 1994 (Logos Library Systems), S. 112
Every event in life is orchestrated by.
Rom 8:28 And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.

gay is not a thing you inherit and all you folks that think it is ok aqre discusting and wrong.

Top 17 Reasons Why Gay Marriage is Wrong

17. Gay marriage will change the foundation of society; we could never adapt to new social norms. Just like we haven't adapted to cars, the service-sector economy, or longer life spans.

16. Gay culture is a new fad created by the liberal media to undermine long-standing traditions. We know this is true because gay sex did not exist in ancient Greece and Rome.

15. There are plenty of straight families looking to adopt, and every unwanted child already has a loving family. This is why foster care does not exist.

14. Conservatives know best how to create strong families. That is why it is not true that Texas and Mississippi have the highest teen birthrates, and Massachusetts, Vermont, and New Hampshire have the lowest. This is a myth spread by the liberal media.

13. Marriage is a religious institution, defined by churches. This is why atheists do not marry. Christians also never get a divorce.

12. Children can never succeed without a male and a female role model at home. That's why our society has no single parents.

11. Gay marriage is not supported by religion. In a theocracy like ours, the values of one religion are imposed on the entire country. That's why we have only one religion in America.

10. Obviously gay parents will raise gay children, since straight parents only raise straight children.

9. Straight marriages are valid because they produce children. Gay couples, infertile couples, and old people shouldn't be allowed to marry because our orphanages aren't full yet, and the world needs more children.

8. Gay marriage should be decided by the people and their elected representatives, not the courts. The framers checked the courts, which represent mainstream public opinion, with legislatures created to protect the rights of minorities from the tyranny of the majority. Interference by courts in this matter is inappropriate, just as it has been every time the courts have tried to hold back legislatures pushing for civil rights.

7. Straight marriage will be less meaningful if gay marriage were allowed; the sanctity of Britany Spears' 55-hour just-for-fun marriage would be destroyed.

6. Civil unions, providing most of the same benefits as marriage with a different name are better, because "separate but equal" institutions are a good way to satisfy the demands of uppity minority groups.

5. Straight marriage has been around a long time and hasn't changed at all; women are still property, blacks still can't marry whites, and divorce is still illegal.

4. Legalizing gay marriage will open the door to all kinds of crazy behavior. People may even wish to marry their pets because a dog has legal standing and can sign a marriage contract.

3. Gay marriage will encourage people to be gay, in the same way that hanging around tall people will make you tall.

2. Being gay is not natural. Real Americans always reject unnatural things like eyeglasses, polyester, and air conditioning.

I am tempted to nail a friend on a passage and explain why I think he is off and needs some help in his bible reading but I am thinking about this and I am going with it. Ron I am working on a hard one for you look out

GOD is KING. We are to know this and honor the Lord as king and we are not to dare think of him as a pal or a buddy but as KING and honor as such. I need to say this that GOD is the father of the Lord Jesus and the maker of all of the unseen and seen including all the folk that mock him and say he is not there GOD is the king. He is the father of the world and his son is Jesus and he came and died on the cross and rose again.

9     And the Lord shall be kKing over all the earth.
     In that day it shall be
     l“The Lord is one,”
     And His name one.
God is one day going to rule this earth and all are going to bow. YOU are going to bow a knee to GOD one day. It is not what I say it is his words. So what is God the king off. Everything that is. He rules from heaven. DO not like it? He told Pharoh that his people are to given freedom and when they did not obey they were wrecked and Pharoh was killed. In the desert Moses do not follow and he was not allowed to the promised land. David did not honor the ruler God and his son was killed. Judas did not bow and it cost him a forever in the fire of hell. Many turned and said they did not want a KING and God gave them a human king that led to the nation going away for 3000 years. Every sinner that does not follow the king is going to hell. If your saved you are to give honor to the king. We are not to go before God without a gift. Listen to go before a king in the old times you gave him a gift.
Kings have a kingdom and God has one in the saved people who have Jesus in life. We need to think of going before GOD is a honor and we got to not take it lightly. We need to have our sins confessed at all thimes and know the KING is watching and recording all we do for he is going to judge us and give us a part of the kingdom to help him with. God is KING sok how r you in your worship of the KING

I got a pal that thinks that the holyness of God is not his main thing. But I think he might be off. It is important to keep in mind that God is a Holy God and that he is not going to allow you into his presense without Jesus and his blood covering you. A sinner is not able to come near to God because sin offends God and he does not ever tolerate it. If your saved and you tolerate it your in need of a big slap in the soul because sin ought to break your heart and if you do not deal with it it is going to harm your walk in Jesus.

When I list things in the bible on my page look them up and mark them in your bible because this is a topical bible thing you can use in your study in the bible. Or keep a notebook for a topical thing for youre bible.

Ps 99 1     The Lord reigns;
     Let the peoples tremble!
     aHe dwells between the cherubim;
     Let the earth be 1moved!

Note that people are to treble before the Lord. Listen God has the right to send you to hell forever and I think we ought to respect his name and keep him Holy and fear him a bit. Jesus said do ot worry about the devil but the one that has made Hell and given all he had to save you from Hell. I think we ought to obey God and love and fear him.

Is 5 15     People shall be brought down,
     pEach man shall be humbled,
     And the eyes of the lofty shall be humbled.
16     But the Lord of hosts shall be qexalted in judgment,
     And God who is holy shall be hallowed in righteousness.

In the time you have in the Lord you ought to be in awe and have tons of respect and deep love as Jesus is right there and he is there al the time. I like 16 where God is exalted in his judgements. He is honored when we are holy and separate in our life's. How much do I fight for the world and not live away from it. We live in the world and do not live for Jesus and that is not the way we ought to.

I think of every time a human wanted to see God how one look and they did not have anything to give in the light of the glory God has. But do we bow and realize the king who will rule with a iron rod and who is ready to save as well as send to hell everyone who rebells and does not repent and trust Jesus

44 For I am the Lord your rGod. You shall therefore consecrate yourselves, and syou shall be holy; for I am holy. Neither shall you defile yourselves with any creeping thing that creeps on the earth. 45 tFor I am the Lord who brings you up out of the land of Egypt, to be your God. uYou shall therefore be holy, for I am holy.

GOD WANTS YOU TO BE LIKE HIM AND HE IS HOLY

Forget it momons you do not get the kids back because your all making them have sex and we are not going to give them back because your a sick unfaithful jerks. And It is interesting that our land has allowed the anti christ in the white house, Back to the kids your not allowed to abuse your kids and get by with it. All the kids are brained washed and sick. Mormons your sick and preverted and its time we ask you to shut down and get it right. Your church goes and tries to nail folks and get them to convert to your cult and that is what the Mormons are a cult. It is not true the book you read is false faith and Jesus never came over to this land because He went to the cross and died a bloody death and on the 3rd day he came to life again and if you or anyone does not trust alone in that for sins forgiveness you will spend forever in a lake of fire with no hope because you heard the truth and did not seek Jesus or you did and you did not repent or turn from your hell bound sins. Sin is the things you did or did not do for Jesus.

God is holy and this means he is seprate from anything made. He stands outside of all and he is moral and perfect and this means sin cannot ever be in his place. You do not have a prayer of getting the pray you wanted to be heard because sin is in your life and God is not able to accept you. Sorry God has made one possible way for you to come to him Jesus is it. If Jesus is not your way I am sorry but your wrong and on your one way ticket to hell. Only you can come to Jesus and repent and ask for forgiveness of your sins. Mom and dad cannot help you get right with Jesus. The pope or a priest is unable to get you right with Jesus and matter of truth this pope is not a man of faith and he is nothing but the leader of a failed system called a church. The pope holds the office of the Anti Christ and one day out of this office the very devils of hell will be found to rule this world and he will as the office has already killed Christians. Pope John is not in Jesus unless he repented of the Mary Worshiping false cult he led. The mass which kills the Lord Jesus billions a time a day is sad and does nothing to earn anyone hope of heaven. This church makes saints of dead folks and does not know that I am a saint as anyone that has place his hope of heaven on the blood of Jesus alone and his riseing from the dead. All in this false wicked satanic faith need to fight it and not trust in a mans who is a sinner and hopeless to go to heaven and does not teach his to read the bible and have a personal faith in Jesus ought to leave the parish and come to a solid church that will teach them hope. All Mary does is mourn for this cult not listen to one prayer ever said and never will because she is nothing but a sinner who had the Baby. Many in this faith are true Christians who deny the Roman system and go to Jesus alone and to grace alone not to a sex priest who does not repent of sin and embrace Jesus. To take a oath as a nun is to embrace hell in the afterlife and is to disobey the Son of God who said to preach to this lost world the saving truth that Jesus is going to come and judge each one and if they are not in the truth of grace they are wrong and will be asked to enter hell forever. To say a priest ought to never marry is not the bible and the truth so one mistake has caused this sexual abuse thing that is raping the cash of this cult because priests are not fired and sent to jail where every one of them belong who ever touches a kid is worthy of jail and instant hell (yes the death penalty) which ought to be the law for a raper and killers which tons of this church and cult have done. So pope get out of this land and stop thinking your a God when you are nothing but a cover for the sins of this office

I went to the funeral of my friend today. It was a fair sermon how the Love of Jesus ought to be with us to get over anything. It is a comfort to me Jesus and I do not know where he stood but I think I am able to rest in my faith and pray for this time when people are going to hopfully ask about heaven and think of the truth that we are going to die. We can die at anytime and then we are going to be asked what did we do with Jesus and his offer of salvation and it can happen in a instant so be ready for you do not have anything. You have no time really because this life is short and today is the day you have. Worry is so stupid when you have a short time on earth it is better to make it right with Jesus and live alone for his glory and take no chance with life because you might not have much time.

wHAT DOES IT MEAN IN THE BIBLE WHEN IT SAID GOD IS MY FORTRESS? I SING IT AT CHURCH ALL THE TIME BUT DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHAT IT MEANS

1     I cwill love You, O Lord, my strength.2 The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer;
     My God, my 1strength, din whom I will trust; I do not know what the fortress is but I can guess. In the time of David the cities were built inside big walls to protect the people from the ones that would want to kill them. The walls would be thick and the buggy's would be able to ride on them and inside of the the army's would sit and be ready to fight when the bad people would go and attack them. This might be a fighting term and he might be saying that Jesus is one I can run into and be protected because the Love of Jesus is the protection of my life. Deliverer is like one that brings something or takes away. Jesus takes us out of danger or prehaps he is there when there is danger to us. He takes the danger from our souls and hearts. Jesus has taken the war and fought it himself by dieing for me on the cross and raising again.

     My shield and the 2horn of my salvation, my stronghold. WHAT IS A STONGHOLD ANYONE HELP ME?
Horn of my salvation might be a weapon. Piper said this
He is a horn of salvation because He uses His power to secure and protect His people.
And that brings us back now to Luke 1:69. Jesus is the horn of salvation because he is a deadly weapon and tremendous power which, according to verse 71, He uses to save His people from their enemies and all who hate them. Zechariah means primarily; that the Messiah will one day literally destroy His enemies and gather his people into His land and rule them in peace. And indeed, He will when He comes a second time. But Zechariah's words necessarily imply more than that.
Verses 74 and 75 show that the goal of God's redemption in raising up a horn of salvation is to "grant that we, being delivered from the hand of our enemies, might serve Him without fear in holiness and righteousness before Him all the days of our life." God's aim in raising a horn of salvation is not merely to liberate an oppressed people but to create a holy and righteous people who live in no fear because they trust Him.

Thus, how are we to understand Jesus as the “horn of salvation”? The answer should be fairly obvious at this point; the horn of salvation is a symbol of a place wherein one can find refuge from the assaults of this world—the greatest enemy we face being sin and temptation to sin. And, indeed, that is exactly the context in which Zechariah is speaking. In Luke 1:68, Zechariah speaks of God having redeemed his people, then in verse 69, he speaks of that redemption in terms of God having raised up the horn of salvation. As the praise song goes, “He is our refuge in days of trouble, he is our shelter in times of storm, He is our tower in the day of sorrow, our fortress in the time of war.”
STRONGHOLD Jesus holds our life. He is the stronghold or a protection of the people who know him and salvation. It is a war thing and Jesus here goes to war for us and works on our lifes to protect us and hold us up in the hard times.

Here are some places for studying thie terms of the Lord tonight

No new taxs for anyone. I am asking for the people that want to to pay more in tax to shut up and leave. It is wrong for them to take my cash and give it to things you want. I do not want to pay for the teaching of evolution or the kids being told that Muslims are a good people when they want to kill the Jews and others that who do not convert to their faith. Christian did not start the wars in the Iraq or the middle ages. It is not good for the tax I pay to fund any form of abortion or homos. It is wrong for the public schools to tell kids that is right to have sex before marriage. If they follow the Bible plans the kids would be in a home where the mom and dad are in the home and have the income to raise the kids to be good solid people. It is wrong for anyone to have any sex outside of marriage. I do not care if homos cannot help it it is still not the right way. If the doctors say this they are not right. I do not trust Doctors and people that do not think the bible is the rd of God and rules the laws of this land. Also a woman is not to have the office and she is that. It is the most important issue in my mind that Jesus is the king of my life and anyone who is going to ask for my vote is not going to get it. Healthcare is not a right for anyone it is a earned thing for people who work and if you drink you need to get to the point if you cannot afford to get treatment to stop and get over it. It is wrong to ask hard working folks to bail out the drunks and give them a life because they have choose to drink or take pills or whatever. If you get busted for drugs go to jail and earn the cash to get help and if you cannot I am not going to bail you out. If you smoke you ought not get treatments for things you ought to suffer for the stupid things you do. Like I cannot help if I got CP but you can help it if you go out and have sex and get aids and the folks that cannot help it ought not get any help from the government and if it is sin in the bible and you did it you ought not get help in it. I am sick of folks that are in the homes and do not take a job and sit and drink and do drugs and then want my money. NO NO NO we ought to tell then get a job or die because life is not going to hand you nothing. Welfare is a bad thing for this land. Listen if 21 people are in a town and there are 15 jobs then the other 6 can take care of the 15 kids and get paid for that. If your truly cannot work and you are living with one that makes money the person who makes the money ought to pay for you to live this is called family. No more living together and not taking care of the other and getting married and being a family. If your wife works a job and has enough for both of you then live of one paycheck do not ask me to pay for you. God said in the bible if you do not work you do not eat and I think that is right on. If you got to go to the doctor and theyu turn you away and you did not file the paperwork do not tell me one did not get help. It is a law they have to help you if you need help. If your sick and do not want Gods help then your on your own. If your in this land and do nothave a job and its your fault we are not going to baby you and just give you a free ride you get your life right and you find work and then we can help you. Governments arr not the baby sitters and we ought to kick every druggie off the governments. If you have a kid out of wedlock you are messed up and I am not going to take care of you unless you go get a job and work. DO not go out to the casinos and then tell me your broke. You get no help from my governments because your money if wasted. It might be you need to stop drugs and get off all forms of drugs and get to work. Why should you not have sex before you have a ring? Because if you have kids you are wrong in this and you got to get a job and work for the kid and the daddy has to pay for the kid with his job and if daddy does not pay daddy gets to go to jail and then get a job there and pay all of it not the tax moneyt because roads need to be built and kids need a school. Its not the Governments job to feed you its not the church that feeds you but we will teach you how to feed yourself and how to make a plan to save cash for needs. Listen you working folks ought to have 6 months of your cash in the bank before you get anything big. Then you ought to set up a retirement plan so that you save for it all the time because it is going to take it to retire the way you want. Then you make the fun money. Okay

I am in the Rochester office of the SHadman network on a computer that is not mine doing a blog for you the ferw and proud readers and myself. So there are going to be mistakes but I am giving you news so like it and I shall be on my own machine in a few days.

My boss and I spoke and he was doing rather well but he was working. I am going to print out your wishes for him if I get some. I went to the newsboys last night and I liked all the bands that played. I will be adding them to the list of groups I am in on facebook so you will go out and get the music. I think it is going to be on the site so youu can read. I thought the boys could of played more off the greatest hits stuff they did. I liked the fact they gave out the Good news of Jesus and I got a book I might go over here on my page in time. I do not have the set list but they played lots of the go album and Breakfast in Hell, a line of not ashamed and other praise songs. During Breakfast in Hell they were holding up Kaptian Cruch in the rows up front and the band grabbed one and started eating it on stage. I guess it was a fun night but I might not go here in Rochester.

I wonder if we raise taxes in the good ole usa how much is too much. Some want to raise our taxes to prevent more gobal warming but we have done that in the lottery. If the demos win they want to give you health care and tax you for it by taking away the small business by raking your money in and making them pay way to much. If you employ folks you ought to get a break for time so you can afford to pay more. We ought to make a law that only can take 15 percent fed and 5 percent state. In MN we have the 12 highest tax rate in all of this land and they want 3 billion more. I say we make all taxes go to the people and let them vote. In this high gas time theyh are raise it a dime a gallon more for the roads and that is to much.

But as a christian we are to pay the things we are asked and we need to prayt for the cash and the wisdom to save money and pay in and honor Jesus in our lifes/

It is a sad night in my life as my friend and boss brother has died in a serious car crash. Duncan a funny man and a friend of mine has died. I know he knew the truth of the gospel but I am not sure where he is and It is my hope he knew Jesus. I have lost a few good frined butt to die in a car crash is a sad deal. I need lots of prayer as done my friends family and my boss. I know I gave him a bible (my boss) so pray that he turns to it. If you would pray or have any words of comfort or just that your praying PLEASE send them and I am going to print them out and give them to Dom and his family.

Ok I got some things to think about. I do not think we are able to apply the culture we live in to the Bible because then I think we lose the meaning of the bible. I think we need to understand the time the bible is in and what it means to the people of that time and then apply it to this time. Case and point. Pastors are to be men. I think the bible forbids woman to lead a church because it did not allow it at that time so it does not allow it in this time. But also I think to apply the bible to this culture and make it conform to 2008 USA is not the thing we do. Then we could make it different in the land of Iraq to fit them and the land of South Asia to fit that lifestyle then what you got is a church that is not in unity around the world. If you got one set of commands in the church in Asia and another in South Texas then one must be wrong or off. If in china we thing drinking a strong drink is ok but in Rome it is not ok then there is a split and this is not the same Body of Jesus. We need to see what the bible means and apply it the same in every place it is thought. So lets look at a concept that I think we need to. I got this I think when I was at work and It is far cool.

1 Jn 5 lThis is the message which we have heard from Him and declare to you, that mGod is light and in Him is no darkness at all. 6 nIf we say that we have fellowship with Him, and walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth. 7 But if we owalk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and pthe blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin.
8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. 9 If we qconfess our sins, He is rfaithful and just to forgive us our sins and to scleanse us from all unrighteousness. 10 If we say that we have not sinned, we tmake Him a liar, and His word is not in us.
2 My little children, these things I write to you, so that you may not sin. And if anyone sins, awe have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous. 2 And bHe Himself is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only but calso for the whole world.
Jesus blood forgave all sins. We need to know this if we know Jesus and he has saved us. If we have placed our trust in his work on the cross to forgive and we have confessed him our sins are forgiven. But we are told to keep confessing our sins so we realize that we are in need of his grace. So if you are not confessing your sins it might be your not in tune in your walk. John said that if we say we are perfect we lie.
Do we walk in light or do we walk in the darkness. In Jesus there is no darkness and darkness is sin and the yucky junk of fithy things. Friend light is the ways of Jesus and the pure thinker. Now if we walk in the sin we are not really right with Jesus but if we walk in Jesus and slip Jesus forgives us and makes us clean before the Lord and we then can know the power of Jesus and Gods love. We all need to keep short accounts of sin with Jesus meaning when we fall we confess it and then forget it and claim the blood. Now if your not confessing it is something you can do. Turn this machine off and pray to the Lord asking him to convict you of anything and the agree and turn from it. It might mean you need to ask Jesus to forgive your sins for the first time and ask him to live in you. It is easy to do. Just ask Jesus to forgive you off all your sins and ask him to live in you as your lord and king. If you do this let me know. If you do read the bible in the book of John and tell the Lord all you are about as you would your best friend and ask him to help you with anything you need and he will. That is a friendship with Jesus and that is the best thing you can ever do is to be a friend of Jesus

2008-04-06T17:20:00.001-07:00

James was not the person who wrote the book He was killed for the Lord Jesus. James was done by the brother of Jesus. What Mary did have more kids so the virgin thing is out in the Catholics so sorry. James did not know Jesus was Jesus till the end from what I know of the story. So on face book one of the founders of my faiths kids are now friends are pals on my page. I doubt they will read this but if you do Huls clan welcome and your ma is one of the reasons Jesus in in my life today. I thi nk she got me into the bible and I thank her and when we get to heaven I am going to see if she was part of the Plan Jesus used to get my butt to heaven. We shall see.

If you get a chance see the truth project by focus on the Family because it is the best thing on the world view I know of. This weekend I am going to be in a debate with folks that will tell me I am not open minded because I do not think they are right in not being a Christian and they will not like the truth when I say they have a wrong view of life. I will say that this nation was made for the faith and to share Jesus with the world and the people everywhere. In the books of the first grade in 1776 the bible was taught as truth when learning the basics. It is on the Internet and was the first grade text of the public schools from the 1700s till 1866. Our government was founded on the faith of the bible. It was founded on 4 things

1 We are not perfect people, 2 Our governors are sinners like all off us, 3 We are going to build the government in the manner of Gods rules in the bible.

Fact the nea made the kids learn the bible in the public schools. This is not my thinking it is factual. The land at one time taught the evils of the muslim faith, Harvard was founded on the truth of Jesus is the master of the truth and one must know him because without him there is not a truth. Every state in the union has in it the command the schools must teach the bible and morals in the school or you could not be allowed into the land. It is in every state Constitution that one is to be under the rule of God and the Bibles God. Read them all then dis me on this.

The law in this land was based on the truths of the bible. If you wrote a law in the 1800 and it was not in the bible you did not pass it. Our laws were based on Blackstone law books and if you do you see they are founded on the bible. Blackstone was one of the people to write major part of the laws in our land.

One thing changed the whole thing and I think the world was forever made to suffer and that was in 1859 with Darwin and his book on evolution. This changed the whole world as it was for 4000 years because Darwin said No GOD. By the way his book is filled with things that are wrong and he was a theology major. Some say he recanted but this is not the truth he died and I think he did not make it to the kingdom.

I THINK EVOLUTION WAS THE MAJOR THING IN THE WW2 AND THE GERMANS KILLING THE JEWS. It was a master race hitter wanted and did not get so he turned to killing the jews. We lost every school to this lie. They took the bible out of the schools and this made the schools teach kids that there is no God and this has made the schools a breeding ground for killings because they do not teach killing is wrong. They then want billions of dollars to do a school system right when the solution is to teach the bible and find the best bible teachers and let them teach the bible and morals and lead the kids back to Jesus. Here is where this goes into the government because Clinton is not a bible reading saved solid Christian. Her style is one of abortion and communism. She wants to take the rich and make them them give it to the poor and make government God and this is wrong because it will fail. When you give the states the power of freedom for the people they can take away freedoms. And this is happening in the US because they have power to outlaw home schools and this is making the parents not the people to have the freedom to raise the kids and not teach them the lies of the world like evolution or sex before marriage and this is killing the kids thoughts of God and will kill this land and allow dummys who are not in the power of the Lord to take away rights like not allowing the truths of the bible to be shown. Homos are the first at this. They made it a crime to teach the bible in Canda and said if you preach gays are sinners we put u in Jail. Oh we need to put Jesus into the land again

2008-04-04T21:27:00.001-07:00

Can you be a Christian and think the bible is not the perfect word of God? NO The bible is not going to change and the bible is the word and Jesus said the bible is his word to you. It is the Lords book and he is the one that wrote it to you and if you think it does not matter what you think of it your in sin and need to see if your in the faith. God did not just say you can think anything you want and ask him to forgive you and your in and he did not If you think the bible is not the truth then your not in the faith. I even think that if you do not like this you are not saved and you might be in the crowd Jesus said he did not know. It might be a sign your still in your sins if you do not love the word and excuse sins by it. It is harsh but the bible is not a thing to be messed with AND if God wrote something you best read and obey it. I am scared of many people that do not take the book serious and I really think it is a sign that one is not saved.

I WAS asked if Ithink this is truth

Subordinationism is a heresy concerning the Trinity. It is an error that states that though the Son is divine, he is not equal to the Father in being, attributes, and rank. This error was rejected at the Council of Nicea. Essentially subordinationism states that the Son is inferior to the Father.
There are different kinds of subordination in different kinds of heresies relating to subordinationism throughout history. One form includes the error that the Holy Spirit is of a lesser quality and essence than the Father. The Arian form said that Jesus was created and because of his inferior nature, he was subordinate to the Father out of necessity of the distinction between creator and creature.

The trinity is one in power and all have the same powers as the others. Jesus is equal with the Father and has the same rights and power as the father and if very God in the flesh. SO no I think this is a bad thing. The Trinity is 3 in one but one in three. Father is the powerful one and had Jesus who is forever both ways as was the Spirit and they were the God forever. Jesus who was forever became one of Man and then lived for 33 years and died and rose from the dead and this alone is the payment of every sin ever commited from the fall to the end of this earth. One must sign the check to get this forgiveness to be saved,

2008-04-03T20:12:00.000-07:00

It is very bad of some people to go to the bible and change it. My friend thinks it ok for females to pastor. But the bible said that it is not okay. He will not bend and claims to know the bible and havew the truth in his life and I claim the same but the bible makes some statements on the issue and I am going to show you the truths in the bible. One does not get to change the bible to fit the culture but the bible must rule over it. I think he is not okay because if we change this book we mess with a dangerous text and that is hell because I think you change the bible God is not going to save you.

1 Cor 11 3 But I want you to know that bthe head of every man is Christ, cthe head of woman is man, and dthe head of Christ is God.

God made this in creation. Men are to be the leader and the lady are to support the man. Its all over the world. Now that is equal in power but different roles. In Gods creation the Male is to be the bread winner and the lady is the weaker one and to be home and a homemaker. Not me but Gods rules.

1 Tim 2 8 I desire therefore that the men pray leverywhere, mlifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting; 9 in like manner also, that the nwomen adorn themselves in modest apparel, with propriety and 5moderation, not with braided hair or gold or pearls or costly clothing, 10 obut, which is proper for women professing godliness, with good works. 11 Let a woman learn in silence with all submission. 12 And pI do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a man, but to be in silence. 13 For Adam was formed first, then Eve. 14 And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived, fell into transgression. 15 Nevertheless she will be saved in childbearing if they continue in faith, love, and holiness, with self-control.

Some have made this a thing of culture but how can you reading the passage and how God made the female after the male. It is a mans job to lead and a womans Job to submit to the man. No woman ever had the office of a priest in the old times. (However if a woman has Jesus she is in fact a priest in the new times because she does go to God for her needs and is expected to go directly to Jesus for the forgiveness of sins.)

33 For God is not the author of 9confusion but of peace, was in all the churches of the saints.
34 xLet 1your women keep silent in the churches, for they are not permitted to speak; but they are to be submissive, as the ylaw also says. 35 And if they want to learn something, let them ask their own husbands at home; for it is shameful for women to speak in church.
Many claim Paul was addressing a cultural issue in Corinth—nothing that ought to concern our contemporary culture. But they fail to let the text speak for itself: “As in all the congregations of the saints, women should remain silent in the churches” (vv. 33–34, NIV, emphasis added). That isn’t a cultural issue; it is God’s standard for all churches.
The context implies that the silence Paul commands is not intended to preclude women from speaking at all but to prevent them from speaking in tongues and preaching in the church. As in Ephesus, certain women in Corinth were seeking prominent positions in the church, and particularly by abusing the gifts of speaking in tongues and prophesying. Yet these women, who joined in the chaotic self-expression Paul had been condemning, should not have been speaking at all. In God’s order for the church, women should “subject themselves, just as the Law also says” (v. 34).
Women may be highly gifted teachers and leaders, but those gifts are not to be exercised over men in the services of the church. That is true not because women are spiritually inferior to men, but because God’s law commands it. He has ordained order in His creation—an order that reflects His own nature and therefore should be reflected in His church. Anyone ignoring or rejecting God’s order weakens the church and dishonors Him. Just as God’s Spirit cannot be in control where there is confusion and chaos in the church, He cannot be in control when women usurp the role He has restricted to men.
MacArthur, John: Different by Design. Wheaton, Ill. : Victor Books, 1997, c1994
That doesn’t mean, however, that God never permits women to speak His truth in public:
•     Paul spoke with various churches and synagogues during his missionary journeys, answering questions from women as well as men (cf. Acts 17:2–4). I see nothing wrong with a woman asking questions or sharing what the Spirit of God has taught her out of the Word during informal Bible study and fellowship. In fact, when we have a question-and-answer session in our church, I believe it’s proper for anyone to ask a question—because that’s the specified order of the time. But the ordinary worship service of the church is never to be interrupted and usurped by anyone’s questions. I also think there is a time and place for women to publicly offer a testimony of praise to the Lord.
•     I thank God for the many faithful women who serve on the mission field in a variety of public ways, but refrain from leading the church. If there was ever a need for leadership on the mission field, it was in Paul’s day. He could have compromised by using women in leadership roles, but he didn’t. When a shortage of men exists on the mission field, don’t violate biblical principles but instead ask the Lord of the harvest to send more laborers (Matt. 9:38).
Elisabeth Elliot, after the murder of her husband and several other missionaries in Ecuador, was the only missionary left who could speak the language of the Auca Indians. Rather than violate the Word of God, she taught one of the Auca men the sermon each week, and he then preached it to the church until male leaders could be found.
•     Women can proclaim the Word of God except when the church meets for corporate worship. The Old Testament says, “The women who proclaim the good tidings are a great host” (Ps. 68:11). The New Testament gives examples of Mary, Anna, and Priscilla declaring God’s truth to men and women (Luke 1:46–55; 2:36–38; Acts 18:24–26).
•     Women can pray in public. Acts 1:13–14 describes a prayer meeting where women and men, including Jesus’ apostles, were present. But during an official meeting of the church, leading in prayer, as we’ve already seen, is a role ordained for men (1 Tim. 2:8).
MacArthur, John: Different by Design. Wheaton, Ill. : Victor Books, 1997, c1994
Get the book mentioned and read it and then go ahead and dis me for this but I am not going to change the bible to make Ladies ok for the Pastorship

2008-04-02T19:19:00.001-07:00

I do not think the Pope needs to be a saint because if you have Jesus your a saint the bible said and your into the kingdom. Saint hood is one thing I think does not get the right truth in heaven. I think if you pray to the saints you miss the point because I pray to the Father by the son in the Holy Spirit and that shows me I have the right to go into the very place God is because my sins are gone when I took Jesus into my heart and this is the privage of every saint and person who takes Jesus into their life and gets forgiven sins.

I want tro go back to the bible and explain what it is it said about itself. I got tons of verses to go over and then I want to go over some tips for better bible reading. Last time I showed you the bible is a book that might make you feel guilty and that is good because you will confess your nothingness and confess Jesus is all you have and live in his power by and how he tells you to live.

Is 55 10     “For ras the rain comes down, and the snow from heaven,
     And do not return there,
     But water the earth,
     And make it bring forth and bud,
     That it may give seed to the sower
     And bread to the eater,
11     sSo shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth;
     It shall not return to Me 3void,
     But it shall accomplish what I please,
     And it shall tprosper in the thing for which I sent it.
God sends his word the bible and it goes out and does what God wants it to. It never goes out and comes back to him and did not affect someone. If you are in Jesus he is going to use the bible when you go to him and seek his plans for you. If you are not the If God wants to use his word to get you to see what you are missing in your life in Jesus and it might be you reject it God is building a case to send you to hell. His book is always going to bring results. Note 10 and see the truth of the water cycle and if you do not think the bible is truth then you need to see God sent the water and it grows the seed. Also God sends the rain and we do not. If your a farmer God allows your seeds to grow or maybe he does not allow it to grow. God does send famine and he is sovern so what God decides God does and it might be bad at first but know if you love Jesus its going to be for your good. Loaded huh
John 5 39 oYou search the Scriptures, for in them you think you have eternal life; and pthese are they which testify of Me. 40 qBut you are not willing to come to Me that you may have life.
All of the parts of the bible point to Jesus. From the old that shows there is going to be a savior of the world to the new that show his life to the Letters that show you how to live and the rules you are to live for Jesus, and the end talks about the end. Jesus is the center of the bible as he needs to be in our lifes. Friend Jesus is the topic of the bible and not knowing him means the bible will never make anything to you. It does teach you how to trust for life in heaven and life here. If you trust the bible your wise and if not then your a fool.

1 Peter 1 23 jhaving been born again, not of 2corruptible seed but 3incorruptible, kthrough the word of God which lives and abides 4forever,

By the word of God your saved. HUH the Spirit uses the bible to show you your need of Jesus and the bible and his words make you take the action.

TWINS WIN

I like my dish job at SCSU. It is good for the pocketbook and good for me. I am hoping to keep working at there in the school time and hope to find a summer gig. I hope to keep working so I can save and give some to the Lord and go to Cali in the winter and see John Macarthur. I want to think about the bible and inspire you to read it and depend on it for all your needs.

You Bible is Infallible Authority. It makes no errors ever and it is perfect. God places all the words in the bible and he kept it for all time. Matter of fact the bible is going to last forever and it will always be the truth and nothing it said lies and nobody is right if they do not see the bible as error and if you think it is ok to not agree your in the wrong every time.

2 Tim 3 16 uAll Scripture is given by inspiration of God, vand is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for 3instruction in righteousness, 17 wthat the man of God may be complete, xthoroughly equipped for every good work.

All means the bible we have today. DO not add to it or take from it. God said what it is for. Doctrine means what the church teaches. If a church said it is ok to do something not taught in the bible leave it. If the person taught you not to read the bible and trust in alone I think your faith is lacking. Reproof, or rebuke for wrong thinking. Do you know it is wrong to say Jesus loves everyone the same? Bible teaches this. It is for us to learn how to serve Jesus. Nothing else is going to teach you what you are and what Jesus wants. The bible is for Jesus to teach us how to work in the right way and wrong way.

2 Peter 1 19 9And so we have the prophetic word confirmed, which you do well to heed as a zlight that shines in a dark place, auntil bthe day dawns and the morning star rises in your chearts; 20 knowing this first, that dno prophecy of Scripture is of any private 1interpretation, 21 for eprophecy never came by the will of man, fbut 2holy men of God spoke as they were moved by the Holy Spirit

No part of the bible is going to be used to tell you something that I do not get. One way to look at the bible and there is not 4 ways to look at it. If we do not agree we need to talk it out. People in the bodyt do not like to live this way and agree to disagree. This is not right in the matter of the bible because what the Lord wrote is the same for us all. The bible is always one message but Jesus might use one part of the word to you and me another. He has a PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP that means God deals with us in many ways. But really the same thing and that is to love Jesus and serve him alone. The bible did not come from man it came from God and I think that every word in the bible is the very thought of God and the men who wrote it were given what to write from the Spirit and Jesus. So it means the same thing but Jesus might use it different to my life than your life.

One more passage to think about

Hebrews 4 12 For the word of God is hliving and powerful, and isharper than any jtwo-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is ka discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. 13 lAnd there is no creature hidden from His sight, but all things are mnaked and open to the eyes of Him to whom we must give account.

The bible is a powerful thing and we need to see the power in our walk. It is sharp and its going to cut you up in the showing you the bad things you might be doing or showing you the sins you need to work on in the walk. God wrote parts of the book so you can know what he wants and what the Lord wants to change in you. The bible is a Judgment thing to so you know what things the Lord wants you to not do and what he is looking for you to do. We are going to account for all the things we do so we got to live like we want to give that day to the Lord and we did our best and we Loved him in all we did.

Goverment thought

2008-03-30T19:32:00.000-07:00

I live in the area of the Minnieapolis where this last year we had a bridge fall down about 80 miles away. So they went ahead and for the safety of the area they closed the major bridge here in my town. So our stupid rap said she is not going to go after the cash to pay for a new one. Ok She is not a good leader and I am not going to vote for her stupid insane butt for this fall. If Patty runs I would rather she got in and thought. Our current one got in as the Christian right winger and she thinks this is going to win her another seat but I sayt she is bad news and I am not going to go for her trash again. She is not for the people and leading in a way that shows she is a Christian and did not get a bill into law for the marrige thing she was sent to do. She never is good and she went to Mac Hammond place and he got a little trouble for her. She is not good for the place she wants and it is my hope she is gone in November.

I think to many folks have made the government God. People the State is not God but is a tool for God. We are way to dependent on the state to pass laws to take money from one and give it to another. It seems in this election instead of going to the maker of life to take care of us we have folks that want to have the government do it. The church is to take care of the poor not the goverment. It is not welfare that is going to do it for people it is the church and the gifts in the church that ought to do it. But now the faith people are shunned to help because of the church state thing which to me is not a good reason. Jesus said to pay in and we all do. More I think about this tithe thing the more I think we ought to make is 15 percent so 5 percent went to feed folks and care for the people out sharing Jesus in lands all over the place. But I am getting of the thing I think we are thinking on tonight. We as the kids of Jesus are to feed the poor and help not the goverment. I think we all need to go to a place that adopts kids and do that. We need to give to places that do the work of the poor as well as share the Gospel.

Do you know that all leaders in history were part of the plan of God and we are to obey them and do as they say. We are to follow the laws they make for us and if we do not they have the duty to place a fine on you and you need to pay it. Take your car, you got to have a thing to drive it, then you pay the government for the gas you take into it, pull out of the gas pump and your told to keep the car at a speed so it does it right. Then you park it and pay the government for the space and then drive home on a road paid for by the gas you paid for. We are to pay taxes and if you use the church to not pay them not a good thing. SOME LEADERS I am going to ask the Lord why he placed them there. Like the bad ones. God did them all.

We are to honor the king, even if we do not agree with him or her. We are to pay the tax of this world and the Lords world. But we are not to be in the world and part of it. I think we ought to not send kids to schools that do not teach Jesus and his rule. I think the government schools are putting junk in kids minds but if we need to raise our kids into the Bible and the truth and the government by being God in the schools are telling the kids lies and bad ones at that. We are told Evolution is truth and it is a lie from hell and in my mind the reason many of you are not solid out for Jesus because Dawin placed doubt into may minds. If we did not have evolution we do not have a war in Germany and we do not have the Holocaust. It also is a thing people thing God is dead and it leads folks out of the Love of Jesus and into hell.

Obey the leaders and pray for them and vote for the rightous people knowing all leaders are from the hand of Jesus

Baseball

2008-03-29T21:29:00.001-07:00

Why is it that all the baseball things do have you pick Pitchers and no teams have a all offence things. If I knew people I would make a game where pick 10 players and go on the hits and runs. I would think that would be a fun league. I find on Yahoo the teams all have to have pitching and not just hitting. I do not want to have to trade for them all the time. So if you play the games you got to invite me. Baseball is a lot like the chrisitan life where it is a marathon. WE GOT TO KEEP AT IT WITH THE LORD. We got to be that way in the game of baseball. Players go in and do the same thing day after day and do the basics and we got to follow the Lord the same way. I think many things in life are found in the wonderful game of Baseball. We all win at the game of life and we are all reaching for a better life as is the games of baseball.

I am not a fan of the DH so I am a NL man but my home team is the twins. I also love the Cubs and the Dodgers and Ihate the Yankees ( but I love to watch them). I am thinking about keeping the three in a chart and see who does the best. I love Joe Mauer, Jonny Damon, and the great Justin from the Twins. I like them to win the whole thing but a I94 series is not going to happen. I would love it if it did. I would go nuts and love to cover it. I would like to think on the Twins more on my page but who knows where I am going to go.

I got a team or two so email me for the things.

Go to church this week and then let me know how it is and what the Lord is going to do for you this week.

Bible is the truth

2008-03-28T21:31:00.001-07:00

Here is tonights thoughts from the Shadman who is a Christian that is a Bible only one. I am of the thought that the bible alone is the words of God and it is the thing we must follow to be in the faith and if we go outside of the bible I think the person no longer is inside the truth and he is outside of the faith. It is not from any creed of man this faith is but all of the faith is in the bible and this is the truth. Creeds do nothing for me and the pope has nothing to do with the sin of mine it is a issue of Jesus and the bible. The bible is not a idea or just a book it is the living breathing very words of God meant for man. Every word is a direct word from the Lord and is meant for us to read and obey and to fail to is to not be part of God though the blood of Jesus.

I trust the bible as the inspired, infallible, inerrant Word of God.

Inspired word of God. God wrote the Bible. Every letter is the thoughts of God and nothing in the bible is not from God. He told the writers what to write. In 66 books we have the complete bible. Not one error is found in the bible as God has presevered it perfectly. Nothing is ever to be added to it or taken from it

Infallible Word of God you can totally trust in the bible as being from God and it will never change. No mistakes in it. Man did not mess it up God wrote it and we obey it. It is perfect and ANYTHING that takes this book away is a cult and not of Jesus. Popes NEVER add to it EVER. God will distroy ones that add to his perfect word.

Here is a paper of this topic to read and this is right

The Word of God was written by ordinary men, but they were men of God who were under the influence of God’s Holy Spirit.
2 Peter l:20,21 says, "Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the Scripture is of any private interpretation. For the prophecy came not in old times by the will of man: but Holy men of God spoke as they were moved by the Holy Spirit."
2 Timothy 3:16,17 says, "All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness; that the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works."
THE BIBLE IS SUPERIOR TO OTHER BOOKS in its origin, formation, doctrines, principles, claims, moral tone, histories, prophecies, revelations, literature, present redemption and eternal benefits, and its general contents.
IT’S INFLUENCE IN THE WORLD: It has blessed millions in every generation, made the highest civilizations, and given man the highest hope and destiny.
THE CHARACTER OF THOSE WHO ACCEPT IT: The wisest, most godly, and honest of men acknowledge it as God’s Word.
ONLY INFIDELS, and the ungodly reject it.
MAN COULD NOT HAVE WRITTEN the Bible if he would, and would not have written it if he could. No critic of scripture has ever been able to improve or disprove it.
GOOD MEN MUST HAVE WRITTEN IT. It condemns all sin and records the sins and faults of its writers as well as others.
ALL MAN’S PRESENT AND ETERNAL NEEDS ARE MET BY THE BIBLE. Redemption and promised benefits have been given to all generations and this will always be so.
SECULAR HISTORY: Many pagans as well as Jewish and Christian writers confirm the facts of the Bible, quoting it as being genuine, authentic and inspired of God.
FAITH IN GOD’S WORD will transform your life: His Word will give you the keys to success and happiness. God’s Word is life changing and will penetrate the hardest of hearts, making a man a totally new person (2 Corinthians 5:l7).
OUR NATION IS GREAT because of the profound faith of our forefathers in Almighty God.
HERE ARE A FEW OF THEIR COMMENTS:
GEORGE WASHINGTON: "It is impossible to rightly govern the world without God and the Bible."
ABRAHAM LINCOLN: "I believe the Bible is the best gift God has ever given to man. All the good from the Savior of the world is communicated to us through this book."
DOUGLAS MCARTHUR: "Believe me sir, never a night goes by, be I ever so tired, but I read the Word of God before I go to bed."
WARNING: The book is habit forming, regular use causes loss off anxiety, decreased appetite for lying, cheating, stealing, hating.
SYMPTOMS: Increased sensations of love, joy, peace and compassion.
I CHALLENGE YOU to read: John 3:16, Romans 3:23, 6:23; 10:9,10; 1 John 1:9; 2 Corinthians 5:17 then ask Jesus Christ to come into your life to be YOUR Lord and Savior. Your life will be completely changed.

2008-03-27T21:14:00.000-07:00

Last time I taked on how we need to kick people who sin out of the church if they do not repent and get right before Jesus. In returning to the text I need to back up in 1 Cor and go over the last chapter and that is chapter four and what is in it.

This chapter is about workers in the work of the Lord or full timers in the faith. I like to think that is the people that run the church and have the job of leading us in our walks. I see folks that think Pastors do not have authory over the church and I think to the most part the Pastor is the leader of the folk and the leader is to serve the Lord and shepred the people the Lord places in the church. Paul was the leader of many but his leadership is going to be judged by the Lord and how we follow the leaders is going to be judged by the Lord. I think the most important thing in the life of the saved is did they remain Faithful to the Lord in what the Lord called them to do or did they give up and quit. Will Jesus find you in him when he comes or away from him? Will you stay true to what the bible tells you to do or will you go on to the ways of men or popes and be anti bible. Many are in this race will not be in it at the end and this is going to displease Jesus and he is going to deal with you.

We are not to try to please anyone but Jesus because he is the only one that is going to matter in the end. I get into the trap of living my life to make others proud of me and I am not the one who ought to be prideful it is Jesus who is going to have my life and he is the onlyt one I need to live my life for. Last night I talked on how the church is to kick out the sinner and I was kicked out of a church that I spoke out and thought they were not right. Now in the end I am not right in the way I might of handled it and I think the church does not run the best and does not agree with some of the stands I might take but I am going to be the Lords to deal with it in the end. I need to look to Jesus and please him and not man

I want to end tonight thinking about the fox book of martyrs and tell you I read some of it today. I think of the people who died for Jesus and I think of the people who died in the light of not agreeing with the Pope, I know some people of that faith and I do not like any part of the office of the Pope because out of his office has come blood of the true saved chruch and I think Rome and the Popes killed millions who did not go their way and for years denied the bible to the common man. I think it is wrong to be one in the faith with the Pope and rome and it is wrong to unite in Jesus with the Hertics in the Roman Church. Futher if one does unite and embraces a false faith in this time he is going to be judged in the sins of the faith. Catholics are not part of the true body of Jesus and for us to embrace this false cult is to embrace I think the cult that leads billions to hell. They do not embrace Jesus as the one who died for all of mans sins and add works to the work of Jesus on the cross. I feel this is the slap Jesus in the face and the mass is a bad thing that murders Jesus every day they do it every time. People who embrace this practice are embracing the very Judgment and wrath of the one who killed his son for the sin. Mary is not anyone to honor and the pope is a bad person who is nothing but the office of Antichrist. Repent all of you and get right before a Holy God.

2008-03-26T19:58:00.001-07:00

Is your faith strong enough to do as the bible taught in the church? I do not think this is for folks that take light the truth that a man in Jesus is excpected to cut the saved off if they are causeing a church to stubble. Okay we do not like to hear this but I am going to preach this because it is in the bible and if you do not obey you need to think why?

Matt 18 15 “Moreover oif your brother sins against you, go and tell him his fault between you and him alone. If he hears you, pyou have gained your brother. 16 But if he will not hear, take with you one or two more, that q‘by the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established.’ 17 And if he refuses to hear them, tell it to the church. But if he refuses even to hear the church, let him be to you like a rheathen and a tax collector.

If a brother which is a christian sins and it is serious you go to him and talk it over. IF he repents then your done and nothing has to be done. For this talk lets say Jack is sleeping with gals that are not his wife. If this happens and he is a member of the body you go to him and tell him this is wrong and to knock it off. Jack repents and does not do this again the issue is over and he is back in fellowship. Or if Jack thinks it is ok and does not repent of this sin you are to take 3 and confront him and pray with him and hopes he repents and if he does it stops there but if Jack still does this he needs to be hit hard. It goes to the church and the whole church is going to know this sin and if this wakes Jack up fine but if not Jesus said to kick him out and give him over to the devil. Jesus did not say accept him in his sin but to kick him out of the church until he is repenting and gets it right.

In the book of 1 cor Paul said to give this man to the devil so that his spirit might be saved. If the flesh is gone fine the Spirit is going to be saved. Jesus who built the Church is the king of it and if he said we do this it must be done or the church is not true to the bible. Now I think this is something many of my6 readers are going to get on me about I am to negitive or I ought to love instead of kick someone out. I say Jesus set this up and Jesus is the one that made this rule and if we serve him we do as he said and if we do not do this then your church is a false place and I say your in need of a church that is going to do as the bible said to do.

So I want to say why I think this is to be done for people. We need to plan to restore the people into the Family and to teach them that sins have to be dealt with. We need to share Jesus with people and we need to learn Jesus has died for sins and the freedom makes us not want to sin. Another issue in the church is the issue of female pastors. I think this is another thing we let go when Jesus said no to them and if he said no then that is the rule. It is not a culture thing it is do we love Jesus then we obey him no matter what. Bible said the woman is not to be pastor. Jesus wrote the book and the book does not allow the female to lead the male. It is the way of God and not the world. We do not obey the world views in the Church we are not of this system we are in Gods kingdom. If the females are pastors I do not think it is ever the plan of God. I do think the females have roles in the church and they need to teach other females, sing in the church choir, teach the kids and if the woman does teach in the pulpit I think she needs to wear a hat to show she is submitting to the male Pastor. She can speak in church if the Pastor of the Church is there and okays it. She can teach the bible to kids (but I do not like a lady under 40 to teach any kids under 30 due to sex issues and hormones) I have problems with lust and mixing the roles of males. I think it is best if growing is between the same sex always. Like your woman grow with the woman and the man and man. I think the ladies witness to the females and man the males but the gospel is ok to share with the other sex, heck woman in my life have shown me the truth and all my major decisions in Jesus were influenced with females on fire for Jesus. So for me I think this and I think the bible teaches the Male is the leader. Now females can sing solos and worship in the group. My church has a female worship leader so I got no problem if they have that role. But not the mail leadership ands not the pastor.

Reasons we need to fight to win the war in Iraq

1 We have to keep the voting rights for thre people we freed and then we need to make sure the oil is in the hands of people that are going to evenly get the oil to the people

2 We will show the muslims who want to kill us and are a bunch of folks that want a holy war that we will give into the demands and they will go and take over and make them fight us in war.

3 Iran is not going to respect us and will try to nail Iraq and take over and enboldern the Iraian needs and wants for bombs they will use to kill Israel (which is the Land of Jesus and the bible and God will mess this nation up for not protecting Gods Land.)

4 We must keep the land free of the Muslims and the muslims stylle of government which will make woman not free and will demand all worship Allah who is a false god and sends people to hell.

5 We need to not allow a civil war and need to stay there to protect the three groups until they work out the different things and embrace a free election. WE STAY TILL WE FINSH THE JOB IF IT TAKES 10 YEARS

Comments welcome but I am going to smash it until you agree.

One of my pals told me the story of a man that had a ternmal illness and was going to die in a few weeks. The doc showed him tons of signs that it was clear this man is going to die.

I love the methods of way of the master. I think to not like them is not a good sign. They are fun to listen to and got good thoughts on shareing the faith that I have and they do something that is so important and that is to clearly explain the problem of the non saved. It is the truth they are sinners and they need to repent. If that does not happen then there is not going to be true salvation. Salvation is not easy to get and like the people of this day they think that all one needs if Jesus and they are in. And if you do not explain to folks the sins they are doing what does one need to get Jesus for. I am not sure one is able to ask Jesus into a life until there is a broken heart over sin. Until you know your a sinner you do not need Jesus. Jesus is the cure of the need for the sinner. If we do not present the problem the cure makes no possible sence and if that happen folks are going to come to Jesus and miss it all.

Jesus said that many are going to call him Lord and not know him. It is not to far out of the way to think they never got the true news and thus the sins are still there. If you get into Jesus your going to learn that you sin far too often and you really need to draw close and learn that Jesus is your life line. And the bible said one must have Jesus Lord over life to get saved and if he is not the Lord he really does not have you. If you come to Jesus you become his slave and he can ask you to do whatever he wants to. I was asked today to change jobs in my company and guess what I am the slave of Jesus and I do what the boss tells me and I get to keep my job. If your going to get saved you do as the bible said and follow the Lord and do as he tells you to do and you walk close to him out of a grateful heart for he did it all so you can get saved and live in him. We all ought to read The Gospel according to Jesus by Macarthur because it is just right on and it might see we need to share Jesus with the Lost and then we can feel good and know that we need to see the truth that sins are offending God and had to be taken care of before we move in to Jesus and get closer to him. Sin has a price every time you do it if your saved or not it still is serious and you did not get saved to go ahead and sin. Far from it your saved to sin less.

Oh My pals doctor said that there is a drug he could take and it will fix the problem. DO you need to fix the proble of sin>

2008-03-21T20:30:00.001-07:00

If your church is into tithing it is time to leave it and go to a place that is a free will giving church. My church is into tithing. I think we are to give freely all we can to the work of the Lord and to the poor people. If your pastor is telling you the tithe is the truth I would ask him about the tax of the people and point to that as the tithe. I want you if you think 10 percent is the way to go ahead and be a person who goes by a standerd of law. I posted a site of a group that would love to have you. Baptists are into the law and limit your freedom in Jesus and that is just not okay. Many of them read this and one told me I am bad because I do not use the bible they think is the right one and I point out the reason they shamed me which is disgusting and so not of the bible. If you are young in the faith steer far from the king james only people I mean far because they just are not good to listen to. I know Brother Tim is going to go and have a fit but you know what I need to just shame him in that Jack Hyles (who did no good with the sectary and got a divorce and still was pastor at his church which is a sin and reason I am never going to trust them). I expose.

I think they mess up in the thing called Grace. Grace is so awesome and it is the plan we live under after the cross of Jesus. Grace is freedom to go to God on your own and not fear the sins you have. Jesus in mercy withheld the hell you had coming but grace gives you the things to live this life and the freedom yo have all of Jesus in you. Grace is the free gift of Jesus you have after you are saved. It is the rich God giving you all he is because you are not just saved in the cross but given the right to be the very son of God. Sonship means you are the child of God and the one who made you becomes your dad. It is not closer than that the Lord is your daddy and takes your needs and fills them by his riches. And this is free just because God is good and takes care of his own. God does not look at you in your sins and the next preacher who gets this wrong is going to get me on them because in Jesus your not what you are before you get in to the faith. God takes all your sins and forgets them, If you got sins and you are in Jesus confess them and forget them they are forgotten and your free of them forever. It is under the blood and gone live as if you do not have to do them. If your forgiven how dare you go do them again people because Jesus died and you just can get free grace. Not going to happen if you know the Lord you want to not sin and learn to be more holy. If your living in sins your not growing in faith and the bible wonders if you know the truth of Jesus. If you keep sinning anddo not feel bad its asign you might not have Jesus. Here is what the bible said
Romans 6 What shall we say then? aShall we continue in sin that grace may abound? 2 Certainly not! How shall we who bdied to sin live any longer in it? 3 Or do you not know that cas many of us as were baptized into Christ Jesus dwere baptized into His death? 4 Therefore we were eburied with Him through baptism into death, that fjust as Christ was raised from the dead by gthe glory of the Father, heven so we also should walk in newness of life.

We do not sin to get more grace, we are dead to the sin we need to walk clean before the Lord and work not to sin. We are to walk in the newness of life and if we fail we need to see if we have new life

y Jesus died

2008-03-20T19:41:00.000-07:00

I want to think a little on the last supper and why we have it and the truth of it. On the last night Jesus took the passover bread and blessed it and said this is the body we take it and eat for the remerber him by it. When I take the bread I think of the life of Jesus and the truth that Jesus lives and what did in his life to bring hope to people and heal all the people he did. I think of the walks Jesus took and when he went to the nations that people did not walk and I wonder what would I like do when he would of come to my town. In the cup I think of blood Jesus shed for my sins and how he died. I think of the ones that mocked Jesus and how the people could of took him away from the mission but Jesus did go to the cross and die. I think of the evil of the death of God but how it took the sins of the people who trusted this to go to heaven and nothing else in the universe is able to get one to the heaven we all need. If one trusts in Jesus they are saved forever and the thing they are living for is the hope of heaven and rewards there. I think of Justifiyed in Jesus and how the blood alone and nothing else is going to save me from my sins

It is the MERCY or the withholding of hell we think of this night. God could of demanded that we go and pay sin off and the price is hell forever. One sin is sin forever and many of you might not have the mercy of God to cover your sins and if not you can message me and I will share that with you. If your not saved it is the day you ought to Jesus and get out of the path of hell. If you are saved will you share with someone today the hope you have in the death of Jesus today? It is a good thing to share this with people and invite them to know Jesus and be saved.

2008-03-19T21:23:00.001-07:00

I want to think for a few days on the truth of the salvation and death of Jesus because it is that time of year and I think it is the reason we have what we all have. If this deaht of Jesus did not happen we all would be nothing. I want to talk about salvation and one thing in the death of Jesus we need to know is why did Jesus die. I think many do not get this in the church today because the church has a so much junk in it. Jesus was in heaven and did not have to die for us. Jesus who is God came down as a baby in the feed place for cows and was God at his birth. Then Jesus lived a sinless life in where he did not ever sin in any way and was God in the flesh. He that lived forever in heaven who had the right to never die was arrested and then went to a mans court, the ones he made and was put to the worst death painful whipping and hard time on a cross for the forgiveness of the people that killed him. Actully God took your sins and gave Jesus the full punishment for them. Jesus paid a blnk check to your account for every sin you would commit and all you need to do is accept Jesus as your LORD and savior. Now Jesus did not die for you to be rich in this world, He did not die so you have a free pass for heaven and can live anyway you want and he did not die so you can pay for your sins in a way and pray to the false Mary who never forgave any sins. Jesus did not die so you can tons of cash.

Jesus death makes it possible for you to have every blessing in heaven and assurance of forever in him. But you need to make some steps. Jesus asks you to give up everything and to follow him. He did not ask you to pray a prayer and get eternal life he asks you to be willing to give up you and live for his glory alone. He asks you to be his slave forever and serve him and forever by doing his plan. It is one thing to just get fire insureance and it is better to take the gift of faith and walk it out in every thing in life. Jesus said it is obeying his word and falling in love with Gods plan and walking that the walk is awesome. Not that it is going to be easy, if it is easy than it might be your not getting into the right plan with your walk. It is a hard thing to die to you and live for Jesus, It is impossible to if your not tight with Jesus. Please do not just get into Jesus and rest in him go after Jesus with a passion and do not swtop and when you shine tell the news. Do not live your life to just get in to heaven live with love and share Jesus and do all he asks you to. Die to you and live for him and read the word over and over and get in into your heart and live with passion for Jesus.

Make Jesus your lord and live alone for his Glory and pleasure, do not live for people and the approval of them because they are going to let you down BIG TIME. Jesus does not let you down when you live alone for him. Trusting him alone is the best thing you will ever do in life. Make him Lord and watch him grow you into a person of Him and one that shares Gods Love with this world. Jesus died for you you need to live for him and him alone.

lead us into temtion

2008-02-24T21:42:00.000-08:00

It was a ok day at work. No more drinking pop in the lobby. It could cause a write up and they are no fun to deal with. I am working on the Lords prayer in bible today so I am going to work thur this phase some :

And do not lead us into temptation,
But deliver us from the evil one.

Lead me not in to temptation is a promise that the Lord is going to do anyhow because God does not make temptation possible. God never tempts anyone no matter what yet he allows me to be tempted. The word might mean trial and not temptation. I am not sure. Mac saids it could mean trial. So thinking that way it could mean to not give me trials. Either way the Lord said he is going to not give me something I am not able to handle. I am going to look at this in both ways. Lead me not into temptation we are asking the lord not to allow the temptation to be so great that we sin. The devil is the father of tempting and he is the one who does it. The Devil is nothing compared to Jesus so when he is tempting me Devil can be defeated by telling him to leave me alone in Jesus name. It is to a point not ok for the devil to try to make us sin. Yet some times God does not stop the devil and we need to fight him. I am told to summit to God and he is going to flee from me. If I am close to the Lord the devil is going to fight me harder but if I resist him he is going to have to leave me alone. Still the lord might use the devil to see if I am really in the faith. God let Devil take job and do what devil wanted to do to job. Job passed the test and pleased the Lord. What tests is the Lord asking me to take. Am I resisting the devil all that I can. I need to work on not allowing the devil to temp me. If he is I need to flee. It means taking action not to sin and fleeing things that cause me to sin. I need to live in a way the devil is not going to have any foothold and cause me to sin in my life. If the devil has a foothold then sin is not going to be resited. I need to live in a way that I do not desire to sin aganest the Lord.

But what if the Lord is saying to pray the Lord not give me any trials. I think the Lord does put some trials in my life so I am able to grow closer to him. Lets think of a few things about trials, first you must rejoice when your put into a trial. In James the Lord talks some about trials. Here is a passage on trails and how to handle them in a Christian way
2 My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials,
I am to have joy in my trials because they are a gift from the Lord he can use to grow me into Jesus likeness. I am to be happy. Not a fun verse of the Word
3 knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience.
One reason to be happy is to know that my faith is going to produce patience. If I take my trails and allow them to work out in my lfe then I am going to have patienve for the next thing I must endure.

4 But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing
If I am patience I am going to be able to have more fruit in me to make Jesus lifted highe4r in my life. It is a perfect work the Lord said. I will be complete and perfect cause I am going to not lack the fruit the Lord wants me to have.
. 5 If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him.
If I want to know how to live in any way I am to ask the lord who has all wisdom. If I need anything all I need to do is ask of the Lord. If I need help in a trial then I need to ask the lord and he is going to help me.
6 But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind.
If I dso not have faith in a trial then I am in trouble. If I doubt I am not able to please Jesus. Jesus is the one I must please

later

2008-02-18T20:19:00.001-08:00

It was the superbowl tonight and the team that I wanted to win lost, like it always is. I went to atwood center and saw it on the big screen. I saw pat and got talked to as ALWAYS. I can be such a dork sometimes. It is sad to to know that lots of people are leaving the Church and it is a temptation when they do a social and make people pay for it. I got to keep praying. In their mind they need to make money and use the money they got for outreach. I think it is ok to make people like the members pay. I think art is good but I need to do some interviews on why people are leaving then make up my mind.

Sight is Restored
27 When Jesus departed from there, two blind men followed Him, crying out and saying, “Son of David, have mercy on us!”
It is later in the night when I am working on this but I got to get out this and keep on track. I want to make it to the end of this book in a long time after I got all that I am able to draw out. Here Jesus is leaving the home of a person he rose from the dead. Jesus has done some amazing thing and I think people at the home where he rose the gal Jesus leaves the home and 2 blind men follow. Blindness was common in the time of Jesus due to the placement of the gospel. Their was lots of dust there. There was heat and the diet they ate was not the best. The blind men shouted and hoped Jesus would happen to hear them. They did not see Jesus so you got to wonder if they were going on faith the Lord was there. They were loud and they were presistent. They wanted mercy (God to not hold the sin in them). Jesus is one of mercy They called Jesus the Son Of David. Son of David is a new name so Lets look at it. Son of David was a old name for the Messiah. It is a Jewish name that was a common name for the person who was going to deliver the people. This David is a man the Lord made kind over the nation of Iseral and was the first king. He was told to be in the line of the Son that God would bring to the world to save the world from sin. In the old testament Jesus was predicted to be on earth. God in the bible took men and wrote to know that Jesus was his ONLY son. Here is some things writen to prove this.

Psalms 89:636 His seed shall endure forever,(Davids)
And his throne as the sun before Me;
His thone would have on it Jesus because Jesus is forever.
37 It shall be established forever like the moon,
Even like the faithful witness in the sky.”

Ps 132 11 The Lord has sworn in truth to David;
He will not turn from it:
“I will set upon your throne the fruit of your body.
12 If your sons will keep My covenant
And My testimony which I shall teach them,
Their sons also shall sit upon your throne forevermore Jesus was called as we saw the son of david
Is 9
6 For unto us a Child is born,
Unto us a Son is given;
And the government will be upon His shoulder.
And His name will be called
Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God,
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
7 Of the increase of His government and peace
There will be no end,
Upon the throne of David and over His kingdom,
To order it and establish it with judgment and justice
From that time forward, even forever.
The zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this.
Note the Throne of David here and over the kingdom. He is going to order it forever. Jesus is the person the Bible is talking about here. This is also in the Dead sea Scrolls to me make this a great passage on Jesus that was there 1500 years before Jesus.

Jer 23:5 “Behold, the days are coming,” says the Lord,
“That I will raise to David a Branch of righteousness;
A King shall reign and prosper,
And execute judgment and righteousness in the earth.
Jesus is that king. He is the one that God is going to allow to make the world follow his judgement.

6 In His days Judah will be saved,
And Israel will dwell safely;
Now this is His name by which He will be called:
THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS.
I used here some ties to the old testament to do a couple of things. I think the very facts the bible does this, point to Jesus in the old proves to me Jesus was and is who he said he was. It uis a gift to know Jesus is the true one of the God of the world and looking at the title to me is a important thing in this study because God is using the word to build my faith that the Bible can be trusted. If Jesus is God and the bible is true than the things it said to me on Jesus forgiveing me and my home in heaven are things I am going to hang on to and trust. So I got to hit the titles of Jesus and write out where they are for me so I can build a case for the truth the Lord wants my study to hit.
SO the men that were blind went to Jesus and they called on him to cure the blindness. I am blind in the fact I cannot see Jesus and to think the first person the men would see is Jesus and they knew who Jesus was. They asked Jesus like I say for mercy for they knew they needed the sins they done taken care of before they came to God. Jesus is a God that is good and he gives us mercy and grace every time we sinned. God is Good and his mercy and grace are forever and ever.

28 And when He had come into the house, the blind men came to Him. And Jesus said to them, “Do you believe that I am able to do this?”
They said to Him, “Yes, Lord.”
Here Jesus asked for faith for the mircle and they had it. DO I ask the Lord for a healing and then think he is not going to do it. Did they belive yes they did. Jesus also is asking for a salvation type of faith. Did they truly thing Jesus was who they said he was? When we go to Jesus for salvation he said we have to belive he died and he rose from the dead altho we have tons of proof still Jesus wants me to belive in the truth. When it comes to it I have to have faith and belive it happened or else I am not saved. I want to make a note as I am going with this that the faith they had was not a important thing to get the mircle, it was that Jesus is asking them to give a deeper faith to get saved. He does the mircle and I think he would of done it without them beliveing in his powers. I say this because the charsmatic camp might try to twist this in to a faith healing event when I think the faith Jesus asked for was a salvation type of faith.

29 Then He touched their eyes, saying, “According to your faith let it be to you.” 30 And their eyes were opened. And Jesus sternly warned them, saying, “See that no one knows it.”
Jesus here seems to not want the news of him spread. He also does something that is easy for him. He opens their eyes and it is their faith that this was done for them. Jesus is not ready to go and let the people know who he is because he does not want to be known for his healing people and the wonders he does, he know people are going to come after him because he does them. Jesus made his point and he did not want the people to make the mircles their reason for them to belive He wants the Jews to see based on the things God told in the old times he is the king of the Jews. Jesus also knew he has more to share and if they killed him before the time Jesus would not of done all he wanted. Jesus does have the say when he was to die because he is sovern yet he knows the people were going to kill him because of things he said.

31 But when they had departed, they spread the news about Him in all that country.
How could they not say what the Lord did for them yet it was a sin because they did not obey the Lord. Sin is anytime I disobey the bible at this time. If Jesus in my heart said to do it I got to do it. Jesus does have a will for me and if I do not do it then it is sin. If I cross a line in my heart I am sinning. Jesus is the commander and he is a good one and what Jesus said goes all the time every time.

Total depraved

2008-01-28T18:06:00.000-08:00

What is total depravity? It means your so bad off in sin you are not able to come to jesus and get saved without Jesus giving you all you need. It means sin is so bad that without the help of Jesus no one is ever saved. We died on the first sin we did toward God. Nothing can we ever do is able to saved us. God made adam leave the garden never to return. It took one sin for moses one sin not to enter the land and one sin we do is so serious that hell awaits one who commits one sin. God is so perfect that one mistake is not ever allowed to be part of his work. Listen if you steal one gum ball and that is the only sin you ever did God would send you away from his heaven forever. Now I am not going to just leave us hanging I am again going into the bible and letting the bible say what it said. Logic is not what we need the bible is what we need. In the bible it said Jesus is 100 percet God. It also said Jesus is 100 percent man but Jesus is not 200 percent. I think anti calvinists somewhat do not like anti logic in the bible but it is not us to know the plans of God and to want to is not right.

Ere begins the list for total de[raved

Gen 6 5 Then the Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.1

All the people were infected by sin and nobody went after God. So God killed them all. God was not happy at this point he made man. He declared all were not right with them. So was Noah in his time as he got drunk. We have not changed from this time. Man has the sin thing down and our intent is never that of Gods will because we are wicked in all our ways.

Gen 8 21 And the Lord smelled a soothing aroma. Then the Lord said in His heart, “I will never again curse the ground for man’s sake, although the imagination of man’s heart is evil from his youth; nor will I again destroy every living thing as I have done

God is not going to do the same thing yet notice the condition of Man is the same. We are evil from our youth. We have hearts that are bad and God does not want them in the natural state. God saved us but if your saved your going to change into a person God is going to use.

Numbers 15 37 Again the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 38 “Speak to the children of Israel: Tell them to make tassels on the corners of their garments throughout their generations, and to put a blue thread in the tassels of the corners. 39 And you shall have the tassel, that you may look upon it and remember all the commandments of the Lord and do them, and that you may not follow the harlotry to which your own heart and your own eyes are inclined,2

Man is shown here to have a heart outside of wanting to follow the Laws and commands of God. We do it our way. I am sorry if you do not think you need to obey folks but here God said you do. Jesus said if you love him your going to obey his commands to love. But on your own folks they and you are not going to do the obey thing. We cannot because our hearts and minds are just tainted with evil. We are no different. We in our day are for our selfs and not on fire for the Lord.

1 kings 8 46 “When they sin against You (for there is no one who does not sin), and You become angry with them and deliver them to the enemy, and they take them captive to the land of the enemy, far or near;

God is the chooser

2008-01-28T18:04:00.000-08:00

I think the first thing I am going to do is to go into the bible and hit a term that begins the debate and that is chosen. Then I am going to go though the tulip things and then I am going to nail some sermons by reformed pastors. I want to list some bible passages on this tonight and maybe a few days to lay a case out.I got a lot (over 50 passages) to hit and list so it is going to be a lot of verses.

Lets start

Gen 21 12 But God said to Abraham, “Do not let it be displeasing in your sight because of the lad or because of your bondwoman. Whatever Sarah has said to you, listen to her voice; for in Isaac your seed shall be called. 13 Yet I will also make a nation of the son of the bondwoman, because he is your seed.”1

A seed was going to become the nation GOD CHOOSE.

Ex 9 . 15 Now if I had stretched out My hand and struck you and your people with pestilence, then you would have been cut off from the earth. 16 But indeed for this purpose I have raised you up, that I may show My power in you, and that My name may be declared in all the earth. 17 As yet you exalt yourself against My people in that you will not let them go. 2

God selects the people and he tells us why he did it. He has to show who He is and his glory. God is going to show his glory and he does it no matter what you pick. God had a will for the people and he used them for him and they were freed out of the plan of God

Ex 33 19 Then He said, “I will make all My goodness pass before you, and I will proclaim the name of the Lord before you. I will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion.” 3

God plans his grace and compassion. He chooses who is graced and who is not

Deut 7 6 “For you are a holy people to the Lord your God; the Lord your God has chosen you to be a people for Himself, a special treasure above all the peoples on the face of the earth. 7 The Lord did not set His love on you nor choose you because you were more in number than any other people, for you were the least of all peoples; 8 but because the Lord loves you, and because He would keep the oath which He swore to your fathers, the Lord has brought you out with a mighty hand, and redeemed you from the house of bondage, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt.4

Holy because God wanted to show his grace and love. Not because they did anything but it was the plan. It was the Love of God that picked them. God is going to love people he choose to. Gods love is not because they are good.

Deut 10 5 The Lord delighted only in your fathers, to love them; and He chose their descendants after them, you above all peoples, as it is this day.5

Deut 4 37 And because He loved your fathers, therefore He chose their descendants after them; and He brought you out of Egypt with His Presence, with His mighty power, 38 driving out from before you nations greater and mightier than you, to bring you in, to give you their land as an inheritance, as it is this day. 39 Therefore know this day, and consider it in your heart, that the Lord Himself is God in heaven above and on the earth beneath; there is no other.6

Note why the choice. To know the Lord is God and there is no other. God used this to show he is God.

Deut 32 8 When the Most High divided their inheritance to the nations,

When He separated the sons of Adam,

He set the boundaries of the peoples

According to the number of the children of Israel.

9 For the Lord’s portion is His people;

Jacob is the place of His inheritance.7

Josh 11 20 20 For it was of the Lord to harden their hearts, that they should come against Israel in battle, that He might utterly destroy them, and that they might receive no mercy, but that He might destroy them, as the Lord had commanded Moses.

It said that God harden the heart. He planed to take out the people and he hardens hearts to do it.

book of life

2008-01-28T18:00:00.000-08:00

WHEN WERE THE NAMES WRITEN IN THE BOOK OF LIFE? I think it is before time began

Phil 4 2 I implore Euodia and I implore Syntyche to be of the same mind in the Lord. 3 And I urge you also, true companion, help these women who labored with me in the gospel, with Clement also, and the rest of my fellow workers, whose names are in the Book of Life.11

Heb 12 23 But you have come to Mount Zion and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, to an innumerable company of angels, 23 to the general assembly and church of the firstborn who are registered in heaven, to God the Judge of all, to the spirits of just men made perfect, 24 to Jesus the Mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling that speaks better things than that of Abel.12

Rev 21 27 But there shall by no means enter it anything that defiles, or causes an abomination or a lie, but only those who are written in the Lamb’s Book of Life.13

Rev 13 8 . 7 It was granted to him to make war with the saints and to overcome them. And authority was given him over every tribe, tongue, and nation. 8 All who dwell on the earth will worship him, whose names have not been written in the Book of Life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.14

Note 13:8 Book of Life. See note on 3:5. Lamb slain. The Lord Jesus who died to purchase the salvation of those whom God had chosen was fulfilling an eternal plan. from the foundation of the world. According to God’s eternal, electing purpose before creation, the death of Christ seals the redemption of the elect forever (cf. Acts 2:23; 4:27,28). Antichrist can never take away the salvation of the elect. The eternal registry of the elect will never be altered, nor will the saved in the Antichrist’s day worship him.

Cd of the night is Addicted to Jesus by carman and it has tons of hits and it is going on my pod. So if you can name 5 of the songs that would mean your a fan and I can like you more and think you highly. I then can call you a true lover of Jesus Music. If your not a fan then you ought to be. If you sare a singer and want on my pod let me know why and what you got and we will talk about things like music.

We need to keep on the thjeme for a long time on the commands of the bible and what we are to do to live right. It is a truth we need to learn what is do what Jesus asks us to do so that we can serve the Lord. He died for us and we owe him all we do and live for and this is things he asks you to do and not ask and debate why or make excuses and lot of times we do that. So the commands of God for us are to follow and not to do them is a sin and needs to be confessed and forsaken.

1 Thes 5 Abstain from every form of evil.

We are to not do evil things. What is evil? It is doing bad to people and not loving people. It is to not do good to people. It means being nice to people that are mean to you. If they are not good to you it does not matter because Jesus is nice to us we are to be good to others. It is not enough to just be nice we need to actively Love others because Jesus is in us and he pursued you. Has Jesus done so much for you that you can never repay him? Just that ought to make me want to obey Jesus and love him.

Notes I am leaving on Thur night for the Masters week and going on American Airlines so you can know if I die I go to St Louis and then to LAX.

Things to comment on... I am going to get comments on things I am thinking of this year as well as whats going on in your heartds.

So rread Thes and make comments on it

Hey what’s up? I am going to do the baptism studies and then we will talk them over on bible night tues. I am sorry for the thoughts on the issue but you know me it might take some time to look over the things and decide for me what is the right thing to do. I have had a lots of thinking on this. I do not think that the baptism thing is a saving act. I think it is a way to id with the people of faith. I think in comparing it as to tithing however. I do not tithe and feel it is necessary thing but a good idea. Dude you know me that I am going to look into the issue and get the Bibles prospective on it. I am going to look over the things you sent and I am going to pray much over the matter. I ought to pray in all matters. I do not want you to think I am something I am not and that is one that adds to the Blood of Jesus for salvation. I do and hear me know Jesus blood alone is the payment of all sins forever and he is the one who we must obey and allow to teach us in any matter

In His Love \

I am going to get into the word now. I am in Romans 15

15 We then who are strong ought to bear with the scruples of the weak, and not to please ourselves.
In the last chapter Paul went over the weak and strong believe and how to deal with both. If one is strong he ought to accept the weak brothers. Like if I am out with a believer that thinks it is wrong to drink and I think it is ok then I go by the one that said it is wrong. If it is a thing I feel the Lord tells me it is wrong in my soul it is wrong. To some I talked some on it is a sin to work on the Sabbath and they are not to do it. If it is a sin to you it is a sin and you ought not do it, If rock music is sinful do not listen to it. I am not convinced of that but I am not going to be stuck on the music thing or anything but doctrine because the bible means something’s and I am forsake the meaning of things in the bible to unite with people that are not on target. I like this verse and I am finding a meaning that I am not to be selfish in this book. I am to put others first and work to meet others needs. I think this is the start of loving one another. I need to work on not pleasing me all the time and work at being man that pleases the Lord by pleasing others. I live for Jesus and I want to make him my only one I please but I am to look out for others and love them to.
2 Let each of us please his neighbor for his good, leading to edification. 3 For even Christ did not please Himself; but as it is written, “The reproaches of those who reproached You fell on Me.”
I want to build up my neighbor and help him grow deeper in his walk with the Lord. I in my walk should make it a goal to help others grow deeper into Jesus and make my Lord lifted up so others want to Love the Lord and make him their focus. Jesus did this even. Jesus was so unselfish centered. He focused on the Lord God and prayed long times then he would come and meet need of the people. In the Last supper Jesus washed the feet, a job that was rather mundane yet Jesus did it. In the healings Jesus met the needs of the people and at times he was rather kind in his time. Jesus was always in the will of the Lord God and he was there for God. Look at the basic salvation on the cross Jesus did not want to do it as in the garden he said not my will but thine yet the awesome thing is Jesus did it to meet needs of people to the end of his life. We ought to just fall on that love and even now Jesus wants to handle our life and that is really a way he is unselfish and living to please us. I just think it is a awesome thing that the Lord Jesus wants to handle my life and invites me to rest fully on him for all my needs and desires. It is not a burden to love Jesus because he loves me so much more.
4 For whatever things were written before were written for our learning, that we through the patience and comfort of the Scriptures might have hope. 5 Now may the God of patience and comfort grant you to be like-minded toward one another, according to Christ Jesus, 6 that you may with one mind and one mouth glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
In truth I think I would of not cut the chapters the same as the person who did. I think verse 6 is a mini chapter and starts an encouraging thing. For whatever things that were written for our learning is the Old Testament? I think we can apply it to the new. The entire bible is good to know and read because it teaches the mind of the Lord God. I realize the parts of history that might be in the bible and you need to know the people that they are written to. Yet the bible as a whole deserves my time and all of it will be the mind of the Lord. For a Christian the Lord gives all the needed info and does not leave us to guess who he is. God wanting to know me left me a bible and a mind to read it and a love for him. He is my lover and I want to know him thus I am going to read all his books and know him. In all the books there is meaning and hope and love. Psalms are the best for depressed minds, Proverbs give much wisdom and strength and Job brings suffering and meaning to life. The history parts shows the power and love of the Lord for the people he helps and I am not to sure what the minor prophets are on but I am going to find out.
Now the blessing. May the God of comfort and Patience, what a thing to think about how the Lord is all that to you and me. He is a Lord that loves me and in the hard times wants to be there for me. I think the reason is so we can help others in their needs and honor him. God is good and to be a like him he wants me to love his people and bless them to. We are to be of one mind. Jesus in here wants us to get along and love others in the faith that might be weak and Love all his kids. The reason for the whole uniting thig is the honor of Jesus and to love him and serve him and to make Jesus known.

I got 2 blogs so I get to do what I want. So this for a while will give you old things I wrote. I want to go after things that matter and topics I covered and want to remind you off and important junk that I need to repeat

Salvation depends not on my works it is all on Jesus. My hope is that Jesus did the work and forgave my sins and if I need forgiveness Jesus has done this all in his blood. To question if I am saved is to slap Jesus in the face and not to trust in his work. If one think his good works are reason or proof they are not right. Salvation is a one time act forever. Here is the verse I am pointing to. I am going to work on them for a few notes here and then they will be on record for me both to point to and to show others that nail me in time on this.

So Assureance of salvation is:

By Faith in Jesus alone.

Eph 3 12 in whom we have boldness and access with confidence through faith in Him.1

When we come and get saved and confess Jesus as our own we can come bold to the Lord and ask what we need. We are given the faith and the boldness when we are saved. If your not sure your lacking the truth. Set in stone the faith is there and your going to God in the right way and that is boldly.

Hebrews 10 22 let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water. 23 Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful2

We are commanded to draw close to Jesus with assurance. We got to stop questioning and start knowing we are saved. Jesus is the issue here. I am placing my trust and all of it on Jesus as he is the one that salvation depends on after I am saved. If Jesus did not come to save me and we can know it then why ought we trust. Salvation is on Jesus and not on us. If it were up to me to keep Jesus I would not last a day in my faith. So thank Jesus it is not mine to lose.

1 Thes 1 2 We give thanks to God always for you all, making mention of you in our prayers, 3 remembering without ceasing your work of faith, labor of love, and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ in the sight of our God and Father, 4 knowing, beloved brethren, your election by God.3

We can know we have been elected by Jesus and not wonder. If you made Jesus your life then he grants you the knowlage that your his and not your owns. Jesus got you in a payment on the cross so to look to you for hope of salvation is not why your saved. Jesus saved you, you did not save yourself and your faith is also a gift.

1 john 5 12 He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life. 13 These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life, and that you may continue to believe in the name of the Son of God.4

If you are in Jesus your saved. If your not in Jesus your not. If you have placed your faith in Jesus alone for your salvation its a done deal. God wants you to know this and the devil wants you to doubt because then you will not work on Jesus commands and serve him because your doubting if he is real. Also if your not sure then your not going to win the lost and have a life for that. I think this is where I take people that doubt

col 2 11 In Him you were also circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, by putting off the body of the sins of the flesh, by the circumcision of Christ, 12 buried with Him in baptism, in which you also were raised with Him through faith in the working of God, who raised Him from the dead. 13 And you, being dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, He has made alive together with Him, having forgiven you all trespasses, 14 having wiped out the handwriting of requirements that was against us, which was contrary to us. And He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross. 15 Having disarmed principalities and powers, He made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them in it.5

Jesus forgave ALL your sins and he made you alive together. When you place your trust in Jesus all is gone. Past sins and all sins. Future sins are forgive and you stand in absolute just as you never sinned before Jesus. He paid for all sin on the cross. It is not in the books because God took the eracer to your record and he nailed the charge to the Lord on the cross. God took the devil and beat him good on the cross and gave us victory and full payment of all our sins. We were with no hope until Jesus gave his blood on the cross.

One more passage tonight

Rom 5 Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, 2 through whom also we have access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God. 3 And not only that, but we also glory in tribulations, knowing that tribulation produces perseverance; 4 and perseverance, character; and character, hope. 5 Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us.6

We sinners were at war with God and headed for hell and this passage said that the war is over for the saved. We have peace because God has sent Jesus to justified us. We can rejoice in Jesus and his hope. Compare Gods thoughts on this passage

ps 7 1 God is a just judge,

And God is angry with the wicked every day.

12 If he does not turn back,

He will sharpen His sword;

He bends His bow and makes it ready.

13 He also prepares for Himself instruments of death;

He makes His arrows into fiery shafts.7

The following sermon is going to make some of you not happy but it is one that needs to be read. It shows much about the bible and giving and people who take a part of athe bible and make it say thing it does not say. It tells me a ton aboujt tv preachers and churchs that abuse people and money.

Abusing the Poor

Luke 21:1-4

by

John MacArthur
Copyright 2007, Grace to You.
All rights reserved. Used by permission.

This morning I want you to open your Bible to the twenty-first chapter of the gospel of Luke, Luke chapter 21. And I want to read this somewhat familiar portion of Scripture to you, to establish it in your mind. And then we’re going to look at it, I trust, in a beneficial way. Luke 21 and verse 1.

Speaking of Jesus, the text says, “And He looked up and saw the rich putting their gifts into the treasury. And He saw a certain poor widow putting in two small copper coins. And he said, ‘Truly I say to you, this poor widow put in more than all of them, for they all out of their surplus put into the offering, but she out of her poverty put in all that she had to live on.’”

Now, if you are beginning to say to yourself, “Here goes another message on sacrificial giving,” you might be right to expect that because that is the universal application of this text. It is always used to tell us we ought to give the way this widow gave.

But let’s back up a little bit before we look at the actual interpretation and remind ourselves where we are. This is Wednesday of Passion Week. This is the final week of our Lord’s life. On Monday He entered the city. On Tuesday He cleansed the temple. All day Wednesday He has been teaching the multitudes in the temple area and has been confronted by the false religious leaders of Judaism who have endeavored to trap Him in His words so that they might have some cause to have Him executed. He has silenced them every time with His answer, thwarted them every time with His answer, so that they’re going to have to lie and fabricate a reason for the Romans to execute Him on Friday. They’re done asking questions. It’s over. At this point on this Wednesday after a long day of teaching, He no longer addresses the crowd, the fickle crowd that hailed Him as Messiah and will cry for His blood not too long after this Wednesday. He has no more to say to the crowds in general. He has no more to say to the false religious leaders. He has denounced them and given them His last invitation and given His last invitation to the crowds as well.

In fact, follow the flow here because in chapter 21, starting in verse 5, the theme is judgment. The time of invitation is over. The ministry of our Lord in these three years has come to its end. No more gospel invitations. No more clarifications to the crowds and to the leaders. He’s finished. And their final assessment is that He is not the Messiah they wanted, and they reject Him, leaders and people. And so, starting in verse 5 comes a long message on destruction, judgment...judgment that will come in 70 A.D. with the destruction of the temple and the city and the nation Israel and a judgment of God beginning in 70 A.D. that will stretch all the way until the return of Jesus Christ through all these 2,000 years and until our Lord comes. In fact, the last words of chapter 20 are clearly words of judgment, “Beware of the scribes,” warning the people about how dangerous they are. And you remember that Luke only gives us a couple of verses regarding our Lord’s warning concerning the scribes and the Pharisees. Matthew gives us the full account of His message on the danger of these false religious leaders, it’s chapter 23 verses 1 through 39. He has pronounced judgment on the leaders and therefore judgment on the nation for following those leaders, and rejecting Him.

So between the condemnation of the false leaders, and the pronunciation of judgment that will last and has lasted two thousand years until Jesus comes, is this little vignette about a widow dropping two copper pennies into an offering receptacle in the temple. The question is, what does this have to do with anything? How does this fit? Why does Jesus inject this moment of reflection on a widow giving an offering in the temple into this section between a diatribe against false leaders and all the people that follow them, and a pronunciation of judgment on the temple, on the city and on the nation and a judgment that will last until the Second Coming? Why is this here?

Universally commentators tell us that our Lord is giving us a little glimpse of true worship in the middle of the false worship that dominates the temple. They tell us that it’s a beautiful little story in the midst of ugliness. A little light in the midst of darkness, an illustration of giving till it hurts, contrasted with the selfishness of the spiritual leaders. This is the traditional, this is the universal explanation of this passage. In fact, scholars agree that this is a lesson on giving, but interestingly enough they can’t agree what the lesson is. And if you were to go through say 25 or 30 or 50 or 100 commentators on this passage, they would suggest many lessons. They don’t all agree. Here are the options, or some of it.

One, Jesus is teaching that the measure of a gift is not how much you give but how much you have after you give. But that’s the measure of the gift. The measure is not the amount of the gift, but the amount left over. And that’s the lesson the Lord is trying to teach us and many have waxed eloquent on that lesson.

Another option, a second one is that the true measure is the self-denial involved, the cost to the individual which is a just another way to say the first one. But that the percentage given is really what the issue is relative to one’s expression of self-denial in that percentage. Obviously, the woman gave the highest percentage...everything. So it’s about the percentage you give.

Third possibility also related to the other two, is that the true measure of any gift is the attitude with which you give it. Is it selfless? Humble? Surrender? Expressing love for God, devotion to God and trust in God? The widow, we are told, had the least left behind, gave the highest percentage and must have had the best attitude.

Fourthly, and this is another option that some have suggested, that the gift that truly pleases God is when you give everything and take a vow of poverty. And all of these and combinations of all of these are defended by virtually all those who write on this text. Teachers have waxed eloquent on all of them.

Now at this point I will confess to you, in spite of the popularity of these views, in spite of the universality of these views, none of these explanations makes any sense to me....none. In fact, all of those interpretations are imposed on the text and you know how I feel about imposing things on the Bible text....not good. You say, “Why do you say they’re imposed?” Because Jesus never made any of those points. Jesus never said anything about what’s left behind, what percentage, what attitude, or do the same and give everything. He didn’t. Jesus never makes any of those points. He does not say the rich gave relatively too little, they had too much left over. He doesn’t say the rich gave too low a percent. He doesn’t say the widow gave the right amount. He doesn’t say the rich had a bad attitude and the widow had a good attitude, or good spirit. He doesn’t say that. In fact, He doesn’t say anything about their giving except that she gave more than everybody. He doesn’t say why or with what attitude, or whether she should have, or shouldn’t have, or they should have, or shouldn’t have. Her outward action is all that you see. It is no more or less good, bad, indifferent, humble, proud, selfish, unselfish than anybody else’s act. There is no judgment made on her act as to its true character. There is nothing said about her attitude or her spirit. She could be acting out a devotion. She could be acting out of love. She could be acting out of guilt. She could be acting out of fear. We don’t know because Jesus doesn’t say anything. Doesn’t say anything about the rich, doesn’t say anything about the widow, doesn’t draw any conclusions, doesn’t develop any principles, doesn’t command anything, doesn’t define anything. Why? Because none of that matters.

The only thing I can conclude is if Jesus wanted to say any of that here, He could have said it. If He wanted to say, “Now you need to give like the widow, she had a good attitude and she gave a maximum percentage and what she had left behind was little. This is the kind of sacrificial giving that we’re after.” He doesn’t say that. Doesn’t say anything. The story then is not designed to teach any of those things. It’s not designed to teach us about percentages, about how much you have left over, about attitudes. It’s not designed to teach anything about giving. If there is one thing apparent here, and this is the bottom line, if there is one thing apparent, it is that she gave everything. So if there’s one lesson that would be obvious and wouldn’t need to be stated, it is that God expects you to give 100 percent of what you have.

That’s ridiculous. That’s ridiculous. That’s irresponsible. That’s foolish. It’s not designed to talk about the principles of giving. There’s only one comment that Jesus makes, she gave with her two copper coins relatively a great deal more than all the others because all the others gave out of their surplus, which means they had some left. She gave out of her poverty all she had to live on. That’s all there is. No comment that the Lord appreciated her. No comment that the Lord loved her, commended her. No comment that she was now in the Kingdom of God. No invitation to the disciples to reach in to their little money bags and go up there and throw in everything they had because it was good enough for the widow, it should be good enough for the disciples of Jesus. And if she was truly spiritual, they should be truly spiritual as well.

For these reasons, the traditional explanations of this text make no sense to me at all. One thing I do know is this, the Lord does not expect you to give 100 percent of what you have so that you have absolutely nothing left. But that’s the only obvious principle here if you’re going to draw a principle. Besides, why would you inject the principle in giving in a context like this? This is no place to interject, “Oh by the way, a few words on giving.” That sounds like a traditional Baptist sermon, in the middle of everything you always have a few words on giving. What in the world does that have to do with anything? The Lord makes no comment about giving except that she gave more than everybody else relative to what she had. She is not commended. They are not condemned. No one’s attitude or spirit in the giving is discussed. And no principle regarding giving is drawn by our Lord. The narrative is not intended to deal with any of those matters. The reason the Lord doesn’t say anything about it is that’s not what it’s about. And if you look at the context before and after, this is all about the condemnation of wicked spiritual leaders and a corrupt religious system that is about to be destroyed. In fact, in verse 5, the passage immediately after this, some were talking about the temple, that it was adorned with beautiful stones and votive gifts, and He said, “As for these things which you’re looking at, the days will come in which there will be not one stone upon another which will not be torn down.” This little vignette is in the middle of a diatribe against a false religious system and a pronouncement of judgment on that system, judgment that is still going on today.

So what...just exactly is this about? Now one more comment or two before we look at it, it’s not obscured. Anybody can read it and read exactly what it says. It’s not profound. It’s not got some deep hidden secret meaning. This is not one of the great spiritual insights in the Bible. This is not one of the great revelations of Scripture. This isn’t one of the great brilliant things that Jesus said that has all kinds of deep meaning. It’s simple, clear. He saw a widow give more than everybody else. In other words, her involvement in religion cost her more than it cost anybody else because it cost her everything. That’s all, just an observation. And the disciples weren’t confused about it. They didn’t ask questions about it. It was patently obvious.

Another thing to think about. The assumption in interpreting this as a model for Christian giving is that Jesus was pleased with what she did. It doesn’t say that. Absolutely doesn’t say that. It doesn’t say that Jesus was pleased her gift. It doesn’t say Jesus was pleased with her attitude. It doesn’t say anything about His attitude. In fact...in fact, what I think what she did displeased Him immensely. I think it was more than displeasing. I think it angered Him. I think what she did angered Jesus.

Let me put it this way. How would you feel, you’re a person who loves the Lord, you’re a person that loves your brother and cares about people and cares about their needs...how would you feel if you saw a destitute widow who only had two coins left to buy her food for her next meal give those two coins to a religious system, how would you feel? You would say, “Something is wrong with that system when that system takes the last two coins out of a widow’s hand.” That’s what you would say and you would be right to say that. Giving your last two coins to a false religious system, how would you feel if you saw a destitute, impoverished person give to her religion her last hope for life to go home perhaps and die? You’d be sick. You’d feel terrible. You would be repulsed. Any religion that is built on the back of the poor is a false religion. What a sad, misguided, woeful, poor victimized lady. It’s tragic, painful. And I think that’s exactly how Jesus saw it...exactly.

He saw that corrupt system taking the last two pennies out of a widow’s pocket. In desperation, hoping that maybe in that legalistic system her two coins would buy some blessing, trying to be dutiful, the rabbis had said with alms you purchase your salvation, trying to buy your way into heaven, trying to buy relief from your desperation, your destitution, contemporary quote/unquote evangelists call this seed faith. “Give me your money and God will multiply it back to you.” God doesn’t want a widow to give up her last two cents, you couldn’t find that in the Bible any place. That’s the last thing God would want a widow to do.

Look at Matthew 15 for a moment and I’ll show you this. Matthew 15, and here the Pharisees and scribes are again confronting Jesus and they’re upset because the disciples don’t go through certain ceremonial washings of the hands which they have invented. And so they say, “Why do Your disciples...verse 2...transgress the tradition of the elders for they don’t wash their hands when they eat bread?” And He answered and said to them, “Why do you transgress the commandment of God for the sake of your traditions?” See, what they had done is create a false religious system in the name of God, a false religious system that transgressed the commandment of God. And here’s a perfect illustration of how they did it. This is so interesting. “For God said,” back in Exodus 20, Deuteronomy 5, “For God said, ‘Honor your father and mother and he who speaks evil of a father or mother, let him be put to death.” Wow. “But you say, follow this, ‘Whoever shall say to his father or mother, Anything of mine you might have been helped by has been given to God.’” That’s what they were saying. They were supposed to support their mother and father. Honor their father and mother boils down to making sure their needs are met. And in order to get around that and to parade their righteousness and to buy salvation, instead of giving to their mother or father, they would say, “Oh, we’re giving to God,” and leave their mother and father destitute. And so by the tradition of giving money to God that belonged to the needy, they violated the Law of God.

In verse 6 He says, “You invalidate the Word of God for the sake of your tradition. You hypocrites.” Verse 9 He says, “You worship Me in vain, teaching as doctrines the traditions of men.”

The point that I want you to understand is this, God is concerned that people have their needs met. It is the responsibility in the Ten Commandments of children to provide for their parents when their parents need care and provision. To say we can’t do that because we’ve given it to God, is to violate the Law of God with your tradition. If you’ll notice in Mark chapter 7, Mark’s account of this same conversation, it adds something familiar to us. Verse 8, Mark 7 verse 8, “Neglecting the commandment of God, you hold to the tradition of men.” You’ve invented a kind of religion that has nothing to do with the commandment of God. Verse 9, “You’ve nicely set aside the commandment of God in order to keep your tradition, for Moses said, ‘Honor your father, your mother. He who speaks evil of father or mother, let him be put to death. But you say if a man says to his father or his mother anything of mine you ought to be helped by is korban,’” that means they had a word for it, Oh it’s korban, it’s korban. That means devoted to God, you no longer do anything for your mother or father, thus invalidating the Word of God by your tradition.

The system that had developed in Judaism abused poor people. And it abused it on...abused them on a spiritual level. Anyone who withholds money from needy parents in order to give it to God is in direct disobedience to God and is dishonoring God’s Word and substituting a man-made tradition for God’s Word. Basic human needs come first with God before religious offerings. Listen, God’s Law was never given to impoverish people, but to help them. Man was not made for the Law but the Law was made for man. We would conclude that this woman was part of a system that took the last two cents out of her hand on the pretense that this was necessary to please God, to purchase her salvation and to bring her blessing. She was manipulated by a religious system that was corrupt. This is not an illustration of heartfelt, sacrificial giving that pleases the Lord, this is not a model for all of us to follow. Jesus never expects that, in fact He told a servant who had very little, “You should have put your money in the bank and earned interest because you need that to meet your own physical needs.”

Something very different is going on here. This is not about Jesus honoring giving, this is about a victim of a corrupt system who is literally made absolutely destitute trying to live up to that system and earn heaven. Let’s go back to the account now in Luke 21. You’ll see how this unfolds.

Verse 1, “And He looked up,” now stop there. That assumes that He was...what?...looking down. Good! That’s lesson one in exegesis. If you looked up, you had to have been looking down. That’s really important...really, really important. Mark in a parallel passage, Mark 12:41 to 46 or so, says He was sitting down. And you need to understand what’s gone on here. In verses 46 and 47, at the end of the chapter, you have that brief, brief statement about His beware-of- the-scribes speech, but the full speech is in Matthew 23, okay, the full speech is in Matthew 23. He had just completed that speech.

At the end of a whole day of talking, teaching, confronting, interacting, conflict, an exhausting day, a whole day, in the midst of massive crowds jostling, listening, interacting, that in itself, the sheer physical effort in itself would leave Him exhausted. But then in addition to the physical exhaustion, He is given this...this denunciation, this damnation speech that is recorded in Matthew chapter 23, you need to look at it for a moment. It’s really...it’s the low moment in His life. After all the years of incarnation, all the years of ministry, all the sermons preached, all the questions answered, all the miracles done, it all comes down to the leadership rejecting Him and the nation following the leadership and also rejecting Him. And so He gives this diatribe, this blistering malediction against the false religious leaders. And He uses the word “woe” repeatedly which means curse, damn, consigned to judgment. Matthew 23, it appears in verse 13, “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites.” Verse 14, “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites.” Fifteen, “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites.” Sixteen, “Woe to you, blind guides.” Verse 17, “Fools and blind men.” Verse 23, “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites.” Twenty-four, “Blind guides.” Twenty-five, “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites.” “Blind Pharisees.” Verse 17, “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites.” Twenty-nine, “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites.”

And it all comes down to verse 37, “O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, who kills the prophets, stones those who are sent to her, how often I wanted to gather your children together the way a hen gathers her chicks under her wings and you were unwilling. Behold, your house is being left to you desolate.” It’s over. Judgment. And it’s going to be that way until you say, “Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord.” Judgment will fall and last until Christ returns. This is the sad, final message. The conclusion is devastating. Not only devastating to the leaders, devastating to the nation, but devastating to Jesus. This is where all His efforts end, long judgment until the Lord’s return on this nation. So it’s not just the physical weariness, it’s the agonizing sad reality of what our Lord says. He feels deeply the sinful rebellion and unbelief of Israel, leaders and people. He shed tears when He walked into the city, chapter 19 verse 41, and saw it, He wept. And He’s still weeping. Preaching these words would be heart wrenching. All these 33 years and this is how it ends, an exhausting emotional experience for Him. It was over. No more calls to the Kingdom, no more invitations to salvation, only a pronunciation of damnation that would last 2,000 years and send generation after generation after generation after generation of these chosen people into a godless eternity.

After those tragic words, the acknowledged end of salvation hope for the nation, He had come to His own and His own received Him not, He must have been exhausted, He must have been spent, He must have been heart-broken. And so, Mark says He was sitting and His eyes must have been looking down as He contemplates the damning religion of Judaism and the fact that the temple where He sat which He had earlier cleansed was so corrupt, its religion so ungodly that it along with the city of Jerusalem and the whole nation of Israel had to be totally destroyed and kept under judgment for millennia.

So there He sat in moments of thought before He turns to pronounce the judgment for all his disciples to hear. No wonder He was looking down. And when He looked up, Mark 12:41 says, “He saw opposite, the treasury observing how people were putting money into the treasury.” Jesus had said in Matthew 6 that you were to do your giving in secret. But the religious system had developed a very public prominent way to do it and Pharisees came along and had trumpets blown announcing their arrival to give, according to Matthew 6. So He looks up and there He sees the people coming, the treasury and He observes how people were putting money into the treasury.

What is the treasury? Well the court in which Jesus was sitting is a very, very large open court in the temple area. It was called the Court of the Women. There was an inner court where only the men could go but this is the court where everyone could go, men and women. Jesus taught here as indicated in John chapter 8, in fact, He taught on the light of the world on that occasion. And He taught in the Court of the Women, the great open court because it was where everyone could come. He calls it the treasury because there was a section of it that the leaders had designed as the place you give your money. They had set up 13 shofar-trumpet shape. You know what a shofar is, it’s a horn. They had set up 13 of those in which people dropped their money. And each of them had a sign on the bottom of it indicating exactly what that money was to be used for. Old shekel dues, new shekel dues, bird offerings, wood, incense, gold, free will, they all were labeled and people would go by and they would in very open courtyard, publicly put their giving on display. The treasury is actually the word gazophulakion from two Greek words, gaza meaning treasury, phulake meaning prison. Once you dropped them in, they were held in there. This is the real heart beat, folks, of false religion, right? This is the real center of false religion. The center of false religion is the treasury, folks. It’s all about the money. They do it, says Peter, for filthy lucre. Luke 16:14, Jesus said, “The scribes and Pharisees were lovers of money.” We know the Sadducees who ran the temple franchises were lovers of money, because Jesus said you’ve turned My Father’s house a house of prayer into a den of robbers, as they extorted money out of people for sacrifices and coin exchange. False religion is always about the money. When you get to the treasury, you get to the heart of false religion.

And so, as the wearied and spent and sad heart-broken Savior lifts up His eyes and watches, He sees the normal course of false religion, poor, deceived souls putting their coins in trying to buy blessing and salvation. And He sees, verse 1, the rich putting their gifts into the treasury. Rich is plousios in the Greek, it simply means they have a full supply. Those with enough. Not mega-rich, super-rich, very rich, super-rich, just they had enough. Those who could put some in and have some left, the non-poor, people who could make offerings and still have enough to live. In fact, Mark 12:41 says they were putting in large amounts, polu(?), much, they were putting in much. They were putting in a substantial amount and they still had plenty left over.

The religious system demanded money. It demanded money to make the guys who were in charge of it comfortable and prosperous and wealthy. And that’s what false religion always, always does. This was the pattern then. Here they were in the open court where everybody could see, coming along, dutifully following the prescriptions and the demands of their leaders in the self-righteous acts of giving to buy favor from God, literally to purchase their salvation. And for the most part, Israel was a prosperous country, people did okay. They could afford it. But in watching this, the Lord sees one widow. He saw a certain, poor widow, the word is penichron meaning poor and needy but not totally destitute. It’s way down there, but it’s not the bottom. It would mean somebody with very, very little, penichros, a certain poor widow putting in two small copper coins, lepta, lepta, Jewish coins, the smallest coins they had. She puts this coin in there.

Now wait a minute. A poor widow, does that sound familiar to you? My mind immediately goes back to verse 46 of chapter 20, doesn’t it? “Beware of the scribes who like to walk around in long robes and love respectful greetings in the market places and chief seats in the synagogues and places of honor at banquets, who devour widows’ houses...who devour widows’ houses. They build their success monetarily on the backs of widows. Wow! Our Lord indicts them for their severe abuse of widows, along with the Sadducees, the Pharisees and the scribes had a system that abused the poor and the defenseless for whom they had only disdain. They viewed any poor widow as being under the judgment of God, that’s why she was a poor widow. And they would aid God in making life tough for them to punish them for whatever sins God was punishing them for. Furthermore, widows were women and women were second-class, and Pharisees every day prayed, “Lord, make me not a Gentile or a woman.” And because they were widows, they were defenseless and easy prey.

What do you have here? You have a destitute widow them, one of them ones just discussed in verse 47. How could you not make that connection. Here is just a couple of sentences later an illustration of a poor widow who is being devoured by a religious system, her last two cents, her life she gives to this system, dutifully, along with everybody else, trying to live up to the system, trying to buy her salvation in an act of charity in a hope that it will earn her favor with God, she gives up her last two small copper coins...smallest coin, she dropped two of them in one of those 13 shofars. That was all, nothing is said about her attitude, nothing is said about her spirit, nothing said about whether she did it in desperation or devotion, whether she did it in legalism or love, it doesn’t say anything about that. The Lord doesn’t commend her, doesn’t make her an example, doesn’t validate what she did, doesn’t say it was a worthy spiritual act that greatly pleased Him. All He said was, this religious system is preying on widows, this cost her more than everyone else. She put in relatively, comparatively more than anyone. Yes, the religious leaders were devouring widows and the more desperate they became, the more they needed, they thought, to buy God’s blessing. Belittled by the establishment because they were thought to be in that state because of divine punishment, second-class women, they were defenseless, easily exploited and the system exploited them to the max. Took the last two cents of that poor woman and it was all, the end of verse 4 says, she had to live on, it was literally her life. She’ll go home and die.

Now Scripture is full of commands and instructions for the people of God to take care of widows, is it not? I wrote down about twenty of them here which I won’t take you through, but you can check a concordance, look up widows and find them. There are warnings all throughout Scripture to care for the poor, care for the widows, and do not abuse them. The real tragedy that struck our Lord was the abuse of widows taking place in the name of God in the temple, the temple of God. They had turned it into a den of robbers and they were robbing those who had the least. It is ugly exploitation of widows in the house of God in the name of God. Verse 2 says, “A certain poor widow,” penichros, poor but not ptochos, but then Jesus says in verse 3, this poor ptochos because once she gave up the last two coins, she went from penichros to ptochos, destitute, nothing. She gave up all her life, cost her...this religious system cost that widow her life. She’s going to go home and die. Do you get the picture? Jesus isn’t commending her, she’s a victim. He’s not proud of her. He’s not making her an example of sacrificial giving. This is an absurdity. He is observing the corruption of the system that is going to be destroyed under the leadership of these corrupt condemned leaders. They’re exploiting the most defenseless, the most impoverished. Jesus certainly is not saying she gave her last cent and that’s what you should do, of course not. He doesn’t want you to give up everything you’ve got and go home and die. He’s given us richly all things to enjoy. It says nothing about percentages, nothing about proportional giving, nothing about giving with the right spirit, nothing about the measure of the gift is what you have left, nothing about giving up everything and living on faith. That’s not here. He’s observing the false religion that preys on the weak and the desperate and the defenseless and holds out hope to the hopeless if they just give their money. I think Jesus was not happy. I think Jesus was angry. And that’s why He says in verse 6, “As for the things which you’re looking at, the days will come in which there will not be left one stone upon another which will not be torn down.” And the disciples say, “When’s it going to happen?” And He says, “It’s going to happen,” and He describes it in the remainder of the chapter.

Isn’t this obvious? If you saw a widow give her last two cents to some religious organization in the hope that she could purchase salvation or purchase blessing, or buy healing, or buy prosperity, you wouldn’t commend her, you’d want to stop her and you’d want to shut down that religious system that preys on the desperate. This act did not please our Lord. She’s simply been taught and she bought in to a system that destroyed her. No praise is given of her act or her attitude. She’s caught in the corruption of the system at the hands of those wretched leaders. She has given her last coins to a false religion. Jesus is angry. And that’s why He’ll destroy this den of robbers. Judgment came, 70 A.D., and it continues now on that temple, on that city, on that land until Jesus comes again.

You know, this continued to go on through history? For Martin Luther in the Reformation it was a Catholic Church abusing the poor that in his mind invalidated the whole system. They were building massive cathedrals. They were building St. Peter’s in Rome. They were building it from the money of the poor, destitute, impoverished people to whom they were selling indulgences to build St. Peter’s, promising the people that for money their sins would be forgiven. When it became so abusive, Luther reacted, the people reacted and you had a Protestant Reformation. I’ve been in cities around the world where I’ve talked with people in cathedrals and I’ve asked the question a number of places...Why are none of the cathedrals ever finished, why do they keep building them? And the answer is because the church can tax the people as long as construction is going on. Sometimes it goes on for a thousand years. The history of the Roman Catholic Church in the world is a history of massive unbelievable wealth at the top, out of the pockets of the destitute and the poor trying to buy their way into heaven.

In a perhaps more familiar role for some of us, the largest segment of givers to the Charismatic prosperity gospel preachers are single women, desperate for healing, desperate for money. Sometimes they’re promised money, health and the new one is a spouse...a man. That’s right, if they send in their money. So I say, woe to you who sell your miracle water and your miracle cloths that promise to heal the desperate if they send you their money. Woe to you wealthy self-indulgent preachers who become rich on the backs of the lonely poor, disillusioned diseased and desperate who are told to give you their money as an act of faith so that God is obligated to make them healthy and wealthy. Woe to you who indulge in ten thousand dollar a night hotel rooms, claim revelations from God, spend 112 thousand dollars a month on your private jet with money taken from the most desperate people. Woe to you, you will not escape judgment.

One person I read about this week worked for a five-star hotel, stole $400 thousand from the hotel. They tracked the employee down. Found him in a small dingy rented apartment in a slum with no car. When they asked where the money was, he had given it all to a prosperity preacher on the promise that it would be multiplied. This is not true religion, never has been. Listen to James 1:27, “This is pure and undefiled religion in the sight of our God to visit orphans and widows in their distress.” True religion does not abuse the poor. It ministers generously, graciously to their needs.

Isn’t it amazing? Of all the little things...of all the little things that could have been the trigger to set off the destruction of the temple, it was one illustration of an abused widow that our Lord puts on the pages of Scripture. Woe to you who abuse women, widows, the distressed, the downcast, the poor, the sick with your lying promises to get their money. That’s false and it will be destroyed.

Father, we hear this message and we know that it’s consistent with Your heart because You care for the downcast and the poor. Jesus came and He fed the crowds. Jesus came and He healed the sick. Jesus came and He poured out love and grace to all who would come to Him and said His burden is light, His yoke is easy...a contrast to the wicked false religious systems that prey on people, especially the defenseless and the destitute and the desperate and the hurting and the needy. Lord, would You bring that to an end and would You exalt Your true church and the true Christian faith. This we ask only for Your glory. Amen.

truth is not for a poll

2007-10-23T20:49:00.001-07:00

To say that one faith is right and one is not right is a problem for world. I said last night we are in a time of post mondern thinking and that is whatever you want to be true is. It is if I am a Christian and you are not we both are right. This is not right by me and is one thing the devil uses to allow you not to be a Christian. In the west it is truth that the Bible is a book that laws are based on. It is wrong to kill everywhere in the west. In some parts of the world it is ok to kill for religion. This is not true that in all the world killing is outlawed. The bible said it is wrong so the bible is the standard of the west. So one of theroys is wrong. So all do not agree and it is not I am ok and you are too. One has to be wrong.

Saying that no one made the earth is as stupid as one can get. Evolution said that God did not make the earth and that can never be truth. I never find another thing on earth made from nothing so the earth has to be made by God. Again it was made or not can not be right. It has to be wrong for the earth was made from nothing and that makes you wrong if you think this. If you think the earth is flat you are wrong, if you think darkness is light you are wrong again. It is not in the bible that your not to be judged for religion it is the bible that said Jesus is the only way to God. No all other ways and what you think is not a matter of debate. All others are wrong. Moslems are worshiping a thing that is a wrong idea and they kill for their so called God. Hindus think one comes back in another life, Jwes say the Lord did not come and that is not the history of the world, and atheism say we came from nothing which is impossible. If I blow up anything it is gone. \

This goes into the government in the USA. What once was right is now wrong. We all elect people to lead us but the problem is that morals are not absolute so they change. Take any race and the values are not the same so we can elect a killer to lead people and take us out of a war that we need. People look at the polls to say what they think. Polls mean nothing to me. People all do not rule by the most in life. If 70 percent say something is that does not make it so. 29 percent say Bush is doing a good job. SO is that truth or are the other 81 right? I think the people do not want a war so they are going to not like it but the truth is we hired him. If his job is good or bad does not make him what your right.

1 I am not open minded on the truth of Jesus. You do not love and adore him you be wrong

john 8 Jesus is perfect and the devil is a foe

2007-10-15T20:00:00.000-07:00

So it seems I am repeating my self on my blog. When you write nearly 700 posts one runs out of stuff to talk on I want to keep writing on this but I need more ideas to talk about. I just could go on in the word and I am going to do that but other things might come up. I am anti clintion but to keep going that way is not going to get more readers and I could go that way. I am not going to shut this down but I might who knows. I want to keep writeing in the word because it feeds me and might help you.

John 8 42 Jesus said to them, “If God were your Father, you would love Me, for I proceeded forth and came from God; nor have I come of Myself, but He sent Me.

Jesus here tells them and us that he is from God and if you Love God you will Love Jesus and serve him. God sent Jesus to us to save from our sins and to grant Jesus is the Son of God. Jesus is the God of this world and is the perfect God in the flesh. If they do not get it and I do not think anyone at this point knew Jesus was God.

43 Why do you not understand My speech? Because you are not able to listen to My word. 44 You are of your father the devil, and the desires of your father you want to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own resources, for he is a liar and the father of it.

Here is a clear statement of God electing the people he saves. They do not get the word because the Lord did not want them to get the word. The devil is a blinder and if he blinds you then only Jesus can beat the devil and get you in to the faith/ Here are some things about the devil we need to know. He is looking to kill your walk and your love for Jesus. He wants to take you to hell if he can. Satan is out to not tell you any truth and blinds you from Jesus. If he can he does not us to share Jesus and spread the Gospel. Satan HATES YOU and wants you to fail all the time. SO WE NEED TO FIGHT THE DEVIL BY STAYING CLOSE TO JESUS. I had a friend who said in her mail to stay close to Jesus and I said how to do that before. Talk to the Lord all the time and read his word. CONFESS SIN ALL THE TIME because the sin can get in the way of you walk. Jesus has won the battle on the cross and the devil is scared to know his fate in hell is sealed.

45 But because I tell the truth, you do not believe Me. 46 Which of you convicts Me of sin? And if I tell the truth, why do you not believe Me? 47 He who is of God hears God’s words; therefore you do not hear, because you are not of God.”
Jesus never sinned at anytime. This is a important thing to know about Jesus thayt he never sinned because if he did his death could not cover sin and Jesus would not be God. God has never and will never sin. Jesus is the persect one and the onlyt one that ever was perfect. Jesus loverd God perfectly and lived perfectly.

truth

2007-10-12T20:21:00.001-07:00

If you do not think the sovern election of God was the truth you are not a bible believeing christian. I say this because it is all over the bible and if oned claims to not think it is true they fail to see many parts of the bible. Lets look at a few passages

1 Cor 1 26 For you see your calling, brethren, that not many wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called

Called is the sovern call of Jesus not some thing that the sinner finds God and then accepts him on his own

27 But God has chosen the foolish things of the world to put to shame the wise, and God has chosen(a sovern choice) the weak things of the world to put to shame the things which are mighty; 28 and the base things of the world and the things which are despised God has chosen,(sovern choice) and the things which are not, to bring to nothing the things that are, 29 that no flesh should glory in His presence. 30 But of Him you are in Christ Jesus, who became for us wisdom from God—and righteousness and sanctification and redemption— 31 that, as it is written, “He who glories, let him glory in the Lord.”

Here is a thing on a terrible theolgy to try to not be on the truth

THE BRIDE OF CHRIST AND CALVINISM (Friday Church News Notes, October 12, 2007, www.wayoflife.org fbns@wayoflife.org, 866-295-4143) - In the book of Genesis, Rebekah is a lovely type of the Bride of Christ. Abraham, a type of the Heavenly Father, sent his servant, a type of the Holy Spirit, to fetch a bride for Isaac (Genesis 24). Rebekah was invited to be Isaac’s wife (Gen. 24:58), just as sinners are invited to come to Christ (Mat. 11:28), and she sweetly and wisely agreed. By faith she accepted the terms offered to her and believed in a man she had never seen. Likewise, the sinner must accept God’s invitation offered in Scripture and presented to the heart by the Holy Spirit and must believe on the Lord Jesus Christ in order to be saved (John 3:16). This disproves the “sovereign election” doctrine of Calvinism. If the Bride of Christ were “sovereignly” elected and irresistibly drawn, having had no choice in the matter, she would be a strange bride!
No is]t does not prove anything of the sort. We do not have choice in the matter. God chose you like it or not and if you do not think I am wrong then explain this in detail. I think the folks that deny this truth do not read all the important bible passages. Cloud gets a ton wrong on his site by the way and is a wacko baptist.

Second topic, the crusades of the old times were to stop the Jihad of the islamic people who have killed to spread the truth of Allah. In the time of the Islams founder he taught that the way to spread his SO CALLED faith. Listen the Jihad now is directed to the west and they want to kill everyone that does n ot convert to their ways. Back in the days of the crusades the muslims killed millions of Christians and they would do it because they would not convert to Muslim. If the Christians were at war they were fighting to defend. They never attacked the muslims. If you want to see a anti christian movie see the kingdom of God and know it is 90 cminutes of pure hate toward Jesus and does not give one truth about the crusades. If you need proof email; me and I got it. Musims are out for blood and they are out to tke the world but Jesus does not ever tell anyone to kill and if peace. All the folks that think this is my truth and not yours then your not educated on the truth. To not agree with Jesus is to deny the truth and he is the truth.

John 8 Truth is Jesus alone

2007-10-10T21:18:00.001-07:00

I am feeling good right now. I am working to a trip in the Jan to thecoast to see Mac and the truth and life thing. I am hopeing to have 1000 to go there and bring back enough for the Piper thing. I am on meds for the diabate thing. I want to go on a portion of the book of John notmany are going to like. Iesus said he is the truth. I want to get strict and tell you he is the standerd of all truth and to deny this is to miss life itself. We lost this in this land where we lie to kids about it in schools and say there is many that have truth aand that is a lie from the devil. Jesus is real and to deny him makes you wrong. All people without Jesus live in lies.

John 8 31 Then Jesus said to those Jews who believed Him, “If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed. 32 And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.”
33 They answered Him, “We are Abraham’s descendants, and have never been in bondage to anyone. How can You say, ‘You will be made free’?”

Jesus wants to set you free. What do you need freedom from? You need freedom from the world and the lusts in it. If you are not in Jesus your in the world that has nothing for you. All the pleasures of this world are temp and they go away. Why do people want to spend their life getting nothing when they die they cannot have it and go to hell? In fact to gain 10 billion and die with sin is a long waste and if your in the church and do not act on Jesus offer your hell is hottest. Jesus makes you free from the world.

34 Jesus answered them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, whoever commits sin is a slave of sin. 35 And a slave does not abide in the house forever, but a son abides forever. 36 Therefore if the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed.

Jesus can take you out of the sin kingdom and into perfect standing. If you are not in Jesus every sin you ever have dome in on you zand one white lie is hell forever. So do you think that not having Jesus and the truth is ok. If not your not set free and all your sins send you to hot hell. If you take the truth of Jesus that he died for you and set you free and make that yours your free. Jesus sets you ffree to live for his pleasure.

37 “I know that you are Abraham’s descendants, but you seek to kill Me, because My word has no place in you. 38 I speak what I have seen with My Father, and you do what you have seen with your father.”
39 They answered and said to Him, “Abraham is our father.”
Jesus said to them, “If you were Abraham’s children, you would do the works of Abraham. 40 But now you seek to kill Me, a Man who has told you the truth which I heard from God. Abraham did not do this. 41 You do the deeds of your father.”1

People and the leaders seek to kill Jesus but that was the plan so Jesus could die for your sins. All people outside of Jesus have not the father. If you have Jesus your a child of God. If you are saved your free. You will be obeying the bible and in love with the Lordand his book. If you trust him you are above the knowlage because knowlage does no saving it is the living for Jesus as he lives in you and knowing personally the forgiveness in the Lord.

Is the death of Jesus in you or do you seek the death of Jesus and God

We in the right on the politics need to work Clinton on a few things. First all we need to make the boarder a key and preach shutting down the border and keeping folk out of the land that are not right to be here. Then we got to preach the war on terror and we need to keep the army ready for war and stay in Iraq until the Job is done. We leave when the war is over and the terror is done. Also we need to fight the Muslims who want to kill us. Then we hit her on the money, no taxes are going to be raised and if she gets in she will take tons more and create less freedom. We got to hit her and hit her on this heath care so she does not get in and make it law. It would kill the insureance and meds in this land so bad. W\e just got to hit her ideas day in and day out until she is out.

I want to look at a psalm tonight

Psalm 121
God the Help of Those Who Seek Him
A Song of Ascents.
1 I will lift up my eyes to the hills— From whence comes my help?
2 My help comes from the Lord,
Who made heaven and earth.

I am amazed at the folk that think they are here by evolution and not from a maker. They have nothing to place the hope in. I KNOW that the Lord is real and wants me to place my hope into him. I want to die to be there with him but I am now in a world that does not wish God in me. People think it is not him but us helping ourselfs. No it is the Lord in me when I am doing well and it is the Lord helping me to live for him and placing the hope on him alone. If God can make the whole world he can take care of all my needs to. He can help me in my problems

3 He will not allow your foot to be moved;
He who keeps you will not slumber.
Jesus is never in need of rest and he is at all times in me working out his plan. I do not have to stay up Jesus is awake looking after me plkeading to God for me at all hours forgiving me and healing my body. He ALONE is in this for God and oh what a Lord that is there for me and ready to hear me raise him

4 Behold, He who keeps Israel
Shall neither slumber nor sleep.
5 The Lord is your keeper;
The Lord is your shade at your right hand.
6 The sun shall not strike you by day,
Nor the moon by night.
Jesus keeps me daily. If I could try to keep me I would fail. Jesus is the keeper of my soul since it is his and he is the keeper of my salvation and my needs he fills all the time. Jesus is the shade and holds me in his hand all the time. Jesus protects me to.

I got to get on more to keep my scores up. I am no longer boardedline I have diabetes. It is not a good thing but I am in the last hope from the Lord and I hve to lose pounds and I have to learn to not drink the loads of pop I am used to. I have been put on meds for it. It is not shots yet and it does not have to come to that. I need to eat right and walk and get back to the ymca. It is a need I hope you all will pray for and hit hard on me when I overeat. I do that a ton. God is going to heal me if I do the work. I got myself into this so it is mercy to let me out of this. I hate it but I am going to have to overcome it. I can with Gods mercy and grace get to cope with this and lose the pound.

So I did not go to bible clazss tonight and I sam not going to be in bible class. I like it on my own. I might go when ben invites me. So if it matters I feel a bit scarded about things but I am trusting the Lord is in control in this. Lets look in the bible

Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord: And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him.
--James 5:14,15

I am to call the elders of the church and have them pray for me and annoit me. If you pray in faith your going to be heard. In this time I do not think healing is going to happen but I am going to be able to live and if I go I am in heaven. I know Jesus can can heal me it he wants to but I also know that only if I amn healed I need to watch what I eat, get out and work out. If I am going to get better it is going to work on it myself.

Psalms121 I lift up my eye from where my help comes from and my help comes from the Lord.

Bible Question:The Lord bless you and keep you! Lately I am being convicted about the healing doctrine expressed by some of my friends. I believe that Isaiah 53:4 and 1 Peter 2:24 talk very clearly about the glorious healing of our reconciliation to God and the forgiveness of sins through the atonement. My friends also quote Matthew 8:16, 17 which clearly confirms to me that Jesus' healings are a fulfillment of prophecy and say nothing about the atonement. I believe that the power of God expressed to me and others is not because it is in the atonement, but because of His grace expressed to us and the need for us to recognize that God is alive and sovereign. However, how do I answer the statement that "we are included in the Abrahamic covenant that promised health and prosperity to body, soul and spirit?" I belong to THE Seed of Abraham. Should we still expect for ourselves the blessing to Abraham in all these areas? Our bodies are still dying which is God's will. Nowhere can I find that the body I live in should be perpetually whole. On the contrary, we are promised a new body. I am really stirred up and am convicted that I have so keenly accepted the healing teachings over so many years. H E L P !?
Bible Answer: In order to answer your question, we want to look at all three verses. Together they will help us understand the primary passage which is Isaiah 53:3-6.
What Does It Say - Part 1. This prophecy is not just about Jesus' death on the cross for the sins of the world. It covers His life here on this earth. It is very easy to allow someone's explanation of a passage to influence how we read it.
For He grew up before Him like a tender shoot, and like a root out of parched ground; He has no stately form or majesty that we should look upon Him, or appearance that we should be attracted to Him. He was despised and forsaken of men, a man of sorrows and acquainted with grief; and like one from whom men hide their face He was despised, and we did not esteem Him. (NASB) Isa. 53:2-3
Verse 2 starts with His childhood and tells us that he grew up. Since many new plants are started as a "tender shoot," the Holy Spirit is telling us that Jesus grew up from a young child into adulthood. We are next told that people were not attracted to His physical appearance. Then verse 3 says that Jesus was despised and ignored by people. He experienced sorrow and grief, and people did not honor Him. These two verses speak of His childhood and young adult life. That is all.
When we come to the first part of verse 4, we are told that He ministered to the needs of people. He was the Great Shepherd of the sheep - men and women - and His ministry included the healing of others.
Surely our griefs He Himself bore, and our sorrows He carried . . . (NASB) Isa. 53:4a
The Hebrew word for "grief" actually means "disease" or "sickness," and the Hebrew word for "sorrows" has the idea of "pains" or "sorrows." They both refer to something we have all experienced - sickness and the suffering that comes with it. The Hebrew word for "bore" actually means "take up" or "to lift." The final key word is "carried." The Hebrew word means "to carry away" and has the idea of one who serves another. What did Jesus do? Jesus healed people when He healed their bodies and removed their sorrow.
Matthew 8:17. When we come to Matthew 8:16-17, we are told Jesus had been healing many people and it then quotes Isaiah 53:4a in reverse order.
When evening came, they brought to Him many who were demon-possessed; and He cast out the spirits with a word, and healed all who were ill. This was to fulfill what was spoken through Isaiah the prophet: “HE HIMSELF TOOK OUR INFIRMITIES AND CARRIED AWAY OUR DISEASES.” (NASB) Matt. 8:16-17
The Greek word for "infirmities" in Matthew 8:17 means "weakness, infirmity, want of strength, or feebleness." The meaning of the Greek word for 'diseases" means just that - diseases. So the Matthew passage refers to the Isaiah 53:4a passage exactly. Isaiah 53:2-4a predicted that He would grow up, that he would not be attractive as an individual, he would be rejected by others, and yet He would heal many as a servant. Matthew 8:17 reminds us that Jesus fulfilled that prophecy.
What Does It Say - Part 2. The last part of Isa. 53:4 says that the Jews thought God wanted Him put to death, and they were correct according to Acts 2:22-24.
. . . yet we ourselves esteemed Him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. But He was pierced through for our transgressions, He was crushed for our iniquities; the chastening for our well-being fell upon Him, and by His scourging we are healed. All of us like sheep have gone astray, each of us has turned to his own way; but the LORD has caused the iniquity of us all to fall on Him. (NASB) Isa. 53:4b-6
Next the prophecy says that Jesus would be pierced, and He was - with a Roman sword. It happened because of our sins or transgressions. Jesus was beaten, whipped, spit on, abused, and crucified for our sins. Then the Holy Spirit says that by His "wounds, stripes, or marks" we have been "healed." The Holy Spirit is not talking about physical healing. The passage has been talking about forgiveness or healing from our sins. This part of the passage is about Jesus' death and the forgiveness of our sins - not healing from physical disease. The entire Isaiah 53:2-6 passage has been a prophecy about His life and ministry.
1 Peter 2:24. When we come to 1 Peter 2:24, the Holy Spirit uses the phrase "by His scourging we are healed" in the same way.
. . . He Himself bore our sins in His body on the cross, so that we might die to sin and live to righteousness; for by His wounds you were healed. (NASB) 1 Peter 2:24
The entire passage of 1 Peter 2:20-25 is about Jesus' death and His ability to forgive our sins. The passage is not about physical healing. In the Greek language there are multiple words which can be used for healing. Three of them refer to healing from disease. The English form of the Greek word for "healed" in 1 Peter 2:24 is IOMAI and it means more than to be healed.The Greek word has the idea of "to heal, and to make well." It can also apply to healing from sin. The context alone makes it clear that physical healing has not been the topic.
Does it seem strange to talk about the forgiveness of sin as healing? If so, listen to King David's words when he was in agony over his sin.
As for me, I said, “O LORD, be gracious to me; heal my soul, for I have sinned against You.” (NASB) Psalm 41:4
He asked God to heal his soul - not his body. We must remember that Hebrew expressions are not the same as English. Every culture and language has its unique expressions. King David asked for healing of his soul or forgiveness of his sin. After Jesus' return to heaven, 1 John was written to Christians for one reason. It was written to help Christians know that they have eternal life (1 John 5:13). Some Christians were afraid or in agony that they were not going to heaven. I still remember that as a little boy I was afraid that I would go to hell. I remember crying on my bed at night because I did not know that I was going to heaven - that I would be with God. I was in grief and anguish.
On the day of Pentecost the Apostle Peter had this to say,
Men of Israel, listen to these words: Jesus the Nazarene, a man attested to you by God with miracles and wonders and signs . . . this Man, delivered over by the predetermined plan and foreknowledge of God, you nailed to a cross by the hands of godless men and put Him to death. But God raised Him up again, putting an end to the agony of death, since it was impossible for Him to be held in its power. (NASB) Acts 2:22-24
When Peter said the "agony of death," he was not saying that people would not die. Otherwise, the Apostles should be alive today. No, he was referring to the fear of not knowing where one will spend eternity when one dies. That is the agony of death. Jesus' death allows our sins to be forgiven and for us to escape eternal punishment.
Conclusion:The current concept that is taught by some that we should never be sick because there is healing in the atonement has missed the fact every apostle is dead. Now that is a problem because death is eventually caused by sickness and disease - even heart failure is a disease. Eventually some day we will live in heaven, and no one will ever get sick! We have also missed Exodus 4:11 which tells us that God makes the mute, deaf, and blind. There is not permanent physical healing in the atonement in this life - but in heaven.
James 5:14-15 tells us that we can be healed by the prayer of our elders (church leaders) when sickness is due to sin. God heals through prayer. This has always been true. Healing is not something new since the cross. This is God's love and mercy for His children. Isn't it wonderful that Jesus is an awesome shepherd to us? He not only forgives, but He also heals. Thank you Jesus!

john 8 get jesus

2007-10-07T20:19:00.001-07:00

Lets go into John tonight to study the Lord.

John 8 2 Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, “I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life.”
13 The Pharisees therefore said to Him, “You bear witness of Yourself; Your witness is not true.”

I do not think it is wise for anyone to slap the Lord in his face and say he is not true. Jesus is the King and to deny that is not good. Jesus is the light of the word. We talked about this in church, Jesus light is shining in the darkness to show how sinnful we really are. Light is moral perfection and dark is the evil of hell. We are to be the light to the world to show Jesus all the time. If you keep your life in Jesus and keep your eyes on him you will walk in the light and if you do not your life is going to be evil and dark. If Jesus is the Light of the world he is the perfect one and if you want to live for him your not going to walking away from the light,
Note one more thing here the Lord God never has darkness in him. In the bible the Glory of God is light. If you were to see God here your eyes could not take it and you would die. No man has seen the Lord in his glory and not been changed and since bible times no one has seen God. If your church claims to see him your church is a cult. Light is the wisdom of God and if you love him you can have light but in 13 the jews said that Jesus is lieing.

14 Jesus answered and said to them, “Even if I bear witness of Myself, My witness is true, for I know where I came from and where I am going; but you do not know where I come from and where I am going. 15 You judge according to the flesh; I judge no one. 16 And yet if I do judge, My judgment is true; for I am not alone, but I am with the Father who sent Me. 17 It is also written in your law that the testimony of two men is true. 18 I am One who bears witness of Myself, and the Father who sent Me bears witness of Me.”
Jesus puts them in their place. Jesus said I am right and your wrong. Jesus is going to be the judge of every person and if your not his your hell begin at death. Jesus is one you do not play like he is not real you better come to this and this is every person that dies outsiude of Jesus is hell bound. Jesus is from God and if God. No other person in history was God and no one is today. If you do not agree to bad Jesus is going to hopfuly find you.
Jew law said that 2 people make the case and Jesus is truth is Gods testomny and Jesus testamony so it is truth. Truth is not what you happen to thionk it is. No other God but the one of Jesus is true. Its not ok to have ohers. God said Jesus is the truth and light is from him.

19 Then they said to Him, “Where is Your Father?”
Jesus answered, “You know neither Me nor My Father. If you had known Me, you would have known My Father also.”
20 These words Jesus spoke in the treasury, as He taught in the temple; and no one laid hands on Him, for His hour had not yet come.
What a ccocky thing to ask Jesus, God the maker is Jesus father.Leaders were not thinking of Jesus as a God they saw him as a man. People ands the jews want to kill Jesus about now and this is understandable because in flesh Jesus is saying he is God and in Jewish law the y had the right to kill this man foir saying he is God but Jesus is not going to deny it because his mission is to die for sin and rise for his elect. No if the leaders did not come to Jesus he did not die for them only the elect. If you do not come to Jesus your sins are not covered. Note the Lord is only going to take the true saved and not the ones that did not take the truth.

21 Then Jesus said to them again, “I am going away, and you will seek Me, and will die in your sin. Where I go you cannot come.”
22 So the Jews said, “Will He kill Himself, because He says, ‘Where I go you cannot come’?”23 And He said to them, “You are from beneath; I am from above. You are of this world; I am not of this world. 24 Therefore I said to you that you will die in your sins; for if you do not believe that I am He, you will die in your sins.”

Jesus is telling us if your in sin and die your not going to heaven. Millions think they are going to make heaven by going to church or being good and Jesus does not. Mother Tressa is not in heaven if she does not ave Jesus in her life as her forgiver and king. I do not think this pope is going to make it because he is into mary. Mary will not save anyone and to make here a queen is wrong.

25 Then they said to Him, “Who are You?”
And Jesus said to them, “Just what I have been saying to you from the beginning. 26 I have many things to say and to judge concerning you, but He who sent Me is true; and I speak to the world those things which I heard from Him.”
It is summed up in Macarthurs bible

Jesus revealed the consequence of the rejection of Him as Messiah and Son of God, i.e., spiritual death (v. 24; cf. Heb. 10:26–31). These verses reveal 4 ways that ensure someone will die in their sins and, as a result, experience spiritual death:
1.being self-righteous (vv. 20–22); I am going to be good to make it to heaven
2.2) being earthbound (vv. 23, 24); I am going to live for this earth and not heaven
3.3) being unbelieving (v. 24); I am going to not trust God and Jesus
4.4) being willfully ignorant (vv. 25–29). I am not going to live in light of Jesus
all will not get you into Heasven

27 They did not understand that He spoke to them of the Father.1

worship right

2007-10-03T19:35:00.000-07:00

I want to make a comment on the worship wars in the church and then let Macs because I trust him. First of all I think the music sttyle is not a issue for me. If you sing hymns of dance before the Lord that is not to me a issue in church. If you wish to have a organ or drums is not the issue in church the issue Here are the things you need to think about. C CM and hymns mixed is where I think we ought to go. In some circles they think ccm is wrong and that to me is wreong because this is not right. We are in a place where some chruches sing with rock bands. I do not agree that the words cannot make music good. I know of a thousand types of style in the kingdom. Good music is good teaching. If the words do not match the right teaching of the bible the music is junk,

We can praise Jesus inchurch with any insturment. All the strings and drums and trumpets are to be used to bless the Lord. In Psalms we read

Ps 150 1 Praise the Lord!
Praise God in His sanctuary;
Praise Him in His mighty firmament!
2 Praise Him for His mighty acts;
Praise Him according to His excellent greatness!
3 Praise Him with the sound of the trumpet;
Praise Him with the lute and harp!
4 Praise Him with the timbrel and dance;
Praise Him with stringed instruments and flutes!
5 Praise Him with loud cymbals;
Praise Him with clashing cymbals!1

In that wrold all the types of music can be used It is also important to sing things your meaning to do, do not sing if the heart is not going to do what the song said. More importantly is you better be right with Jesus and your brother before you go to church. If you have stuff to get right with others forget church and go make it right before you go to church. Also the worship is for the saved not for the folks that do not know Jesus. If you are not saved your in a place really dangerous. If you hear about Jesus and then keep rejecting him your hell will be far worst. If your saved and do not worship right God can kill you.

Acts 5 But a certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, sold a possession. 2 And he kept back part of the proceeds, his wife also being aware of it, and brought a certain part and laid it at the apostles’ feet. 3 But Peter said, “Ananias, why has Satan filled your heart to lie to the Holy Spirit and keep back part of the price of the land for yourself? 4 While it remained, was it not your own? And after it was sold, was it not in your own control? Why have you conceived this thing in your heart? You have not lied to men but to God.”
5 Then Ananias, hearing these words, fell down and breathed his last. So great fear came upon all those who heard these things. 6 And the young men arose and wrapped him up, carried him out, and buried him.
7 Now it was about three hours later when his wife came in, not knowing what had happened. 8 And Peter answered her, “Tell me whether you sold the land for so much?”
She said, “Yes, for so much.”
9 Then Peter said to her, “How is it that you have agreed together to test the Spirit of the Lord? Look, the feet of those who have buried your husband are at the door, and they will carry you out.” 10 Then immediately she fell down at his feet and breathed her last. And the young men came in and found her dead, and carrying her out, buried her by her husband. 11 So great fear came upon all the church and upon all who heard these things.2

God took the life of folks that did not worship or give right. It is serious to go to church.Back to the point we in the church do not entertain the unsaved. If we preach a message you do not like and sing things you do not prefer we are there to worship Jesus and not tickle your ears. If you go to a church and do not like the church we are not there for you we worship Jesus. Its like the gay man that died in the war and wanted to go to a chuch for the burial and the pastor said no he is not saved in Jesus the church had the right because the church is for the saved not sinners.

sex

2007-10-02T19:49:00.000-07:00

I am 3 and 1 in football. I like it a ton and I am going to win my league. I got to get into a money thing and make money on it.

I want to talk to you about a way to get you to not get sick, enjoy your life, have a good marrige and save billions. Save sex for marrige and you solve tons of things. I was born to a 15 year old. I do not know my real dad. So why I take a stand on teen sex saying it is the stupidest thing you can do. Here are some reasons I think you need to here and yes I do think you got no right to have it till you got a ring

1 All the things sex can dop like make you sick. Herpies, BK, Chlamydia, Epididymitis, Genital herpes
Genital warts Giardiasis. Many of the things you can get.

2 Every partner you have will cheapen sex. If you have it with 10 people God made you to release hormones and they are ment to bond you as a couple. If you are a couple and break it off your breakup is hard.

3 If you make a baby you need not kill it and you need to pay for it. If your a daddy they will test you and your ss is going to be taken. Then you get a job and they are going to take the payments for your kids life and you pay.

4 If your a mom your going to be poor for the first 15 years and if your single your going to have no life. You take the kid and you have to raise him.

5 Marrige is not going to have sex as it should be. If you have 10 partners your going to take all of them to bed with your wife. And if you think porn is solved not going to happen.

6 sex is going to be nothing when you got a wedding night. If you wish to have sex that is going to be awesome do it on the wedding nioght with a wife.

Sex they tell me is agod given gift. I think sex in marrige must be cool. I write this to say save Gods Gift for the best time. Sex is a gift and in the marrige you need to have it.

jkohn 8

2007-09-27T20:33:00.001-07:00

Ok whats going on out there. I am good and going to see John Mac in MN this weekend. It is the best teacher of the bible alive. Not to mention the great Piper. Mac is right on anything he said and if you are one to disagree with him fine but I love his work. I want to talk tonight on the passage I could of done weeks ago. I held off because I laid lots of things out so you can see the clear teaching of the gospel. We have talked on sins and the punishment but here is what Jesus can do for you.

John 53 And everyone went to his own house.
8 But Jesus went to the Mount of Olives.2 Now early in the morning He came again into the temple, and all the people came to Him; and He sat down and taught them. 3 Then the scribes and Pharisees brought to Him a woman caught in adultery. And when they had set her in the midst, 4 they said to Him, “Teacher, this woman was caught in adultery, in the very act. 5 Now Moses, in the law, commanded us that such should be stoned. But what do You say?” 6 This they said, testing Him, that they might have something of which to accuse Him. But Jesus stooped down and wrote on the ground with His finger, as though He did not hear.
If you saw the Passion of the Christ and you all need to see it to understand the price Jesus paid for you on the cross you saw this story. Jesus is teaching to the people at the temple in Israel and one brings a lady that has commited a sin that the laws say is reason to kill her right then and there and she is to go to the flames of hell. I said anyone who hates is in danger of hell. But Jesus who did the law writes something on the ground. Manhy say he wrote the commands. I think that is right. Jesus is about to change the way we look at the laws.

7 So when they continued asking Him, He raised Himself up and said to them, “He who is without sin among you, let him throw a stone at her first.” 8 And again He stooped down and wrote on the ground.
So if the laws are to be done right she ought to be killed on the spot. If you drink you ought to go to hell. BUT BOTH DO NOT HAPPEN. Jesus is ready to make the call of this so called wicked sinning lady. He does nothing and writes and said ok if you have no sins start the rockets and kill her. So...
9 Then those who heard it, being convicted by their conscience, went out one by one, beginning with the oldest even to the last. And Jesus was left alone,
One by one they look into their own lifes. Sins were coming to mind. Maybe the first stole somethingand the second hated a man. Lets say ten men had picked up stones ready to hurt this lady. One by one they dropped the stone and walked away because their sins were on their heart. Jesus is the Lord AND HE IS THE LAST ONE.

and the woman standing in the midst. 10 When Jesus had raised Himself up and saw no one but the woman, He said to her, “Woman, where are those accusers of yours? Has no one condemned you?”
11 She said, “No one, Lord.”
Jesus is alone with the lady and he said no one is here and askes where is her killers. Friends this is so massive in the christian faith. Miss this point you miss all of the truth of Jesus. In the bible which Jesus wrote the woman would need to die but Jesus changed the system to forgive people and no longer the Law was. Grace begins in Jesus and only Jesus as she has been forgiven. Your dwi can be forgiven, your hate can be forgivein and the murders of the man can be forgiven and a killer can go to heaven because the Lord died for the sins and paid for them. Drunks can go free of drinking and homos have hope because Jesus paid forever all sins. No you do not pay if your in Jesus.

And Jesus said to her, “Neither do I condemn you; go and sin no more.”1

Jesus has one thing he asked go sin no more. Jesus cleans the sinner up and we are not to sin but if we do we ask forgivness and go on. If you want to to know the truth if you sin and you will see more sin as you grow you confess.

we need to love people

2007-09-26T19:45:00.001-07:00

What got me dwelling on this thing is all the ads that I'm getting in the mail at home and we're getting at the church of the so-called "Christian" bookstores advertising their products that they sell in their stores.

Julie I need to nail you. I think your blog is very baptist and that is ok but when you take on true faith. It is nasty of you to put down and one of faith. They are christian whether you like it or not.

The word Christian means Christ-like. This thing about the "Christian" bookstores has bothered me for a long time now. If Christian means Christ-like then shouldn't the store itself have a testimony of being like Christ? Well...they sell books that they call bibles that are perverted versions of the Word of God.
KJV is not the only true bible. If you keep that up your cutting down millions of bibles and that is no good. It shows youyr true light that your the only true faith and that is nasty. I read 5 versions and you read one. No way I would think your the only faith. I can just go on and on on the KJV. I do not think your bad until you judge my bible that is the truth and It is ok to read the kj but do not make me listen to you.

They sell writings by heretics that blaspheme the Almighty God. They sell music that is wicked and ungodly.
No they give the faith they had. It is your judgeing people. I do not think a baptist is the only way as you think. Jesus is not just going to save you he saved millions.

They hire cashiers and people to work in their stores that have earrings and colored hair. They let the women in the store wear breeches and dress contrary to how the Word of God says to dress. Is any of this Christ-like?
No they dress in a cultured world to reach to the agee. I do not look at the outside and Jesus said he looks at the heart and your heart is full of judgement and hate for others in the faith. Look at thje log in your eyes.

I say absolutely not!! It burns me so bad when I go into these places to get the good material that is in there (and it is becoming less and less all the time I've been noticing) and see the people dressed and looking like they do and then to hear the ungodly music they play as I shop there. Then you see on displays books like "The Purpose Driven Life" that is leading thousands of people contrary to what God says.
Have you read the book. If not shut up and read it knowing your kind you will not read it. Sure your going to listren to a preacher. But you read the book and then show it to me where it is wrong. And your no music fan. It is good solid music. CCM is a good thing and people get saved. Let the Lord work it out not you.

As far as I'm concerned...these stores are not "Christian" bookstores but are "Religious" bookstores.
As far as Jesus is conserned your a judgementel person that is telling others that your right. Jesus saids to look on the heart not the outside.
Religion is being masqueraded as Christian everywhere you look. Yet we cannot even hear Christmas being mentioned anywhere in stores. It is "Happy Holidays" so as not to offend anyone. Folks...look for "Christian" influence to be done away with little by little. We who truly know Christ need to take a stand and live as God wants us to and present ourselves as Christians...Christ-like!!!

war is right

2007-09-25T20:22:00.000-07:00

I do cnot have my yahoo working right now so them who use it do email. I am not happy about Hittler being in my land. It is the leader of Iran and he ought to never set foot in this land. His plan is to kill Jews and Christians and anyone that does not convert to Muslim. If you think he is ok to be here get out of this land because this man denys the killing of 12 million people and is giving people in the war the weapons to kill our troops. Bush is not good for not arresting this monster and killing him. Hey lock him with Juice and then see who lasts.

So did God allow wars? Is war anti God?

Yes God fights wars with people in everytime of history. When the people were to take the promise land God said to kill all the people and not to be pals with any of them. God made war for a reason and that is to deal with sin. God used war to punish and to defend his lands and people all over the old testiment and Jesus spoke that in the end war would increase and that it was the sign of the end of time. If you need a list I will email it to you so that you know what the bible said. War in this time is used to kill the bad people. It was used in 1990 when Bush hit Iraq because Husain took a land that was not his and in 2001 after terrorists took a tower and 6 planes we went to war to deal with Afganistan. In 2003 we took Iraq because we felt he was a threat and Hussain was not following the conditions of the UN. I do not want to debate if war is good or bad but I want you to know God uses war for his plans and no war is fought without the Lord knowing and useiong it. He might use war to show us we need to get right with him. It is dangerous when we take God out of this land when He blessed us. God ought to be the standerd and not the aclu. It is danger to mess with the Lords Laws and allow the morals to be run by a bunch of folk that are not good for us. So it is goin g to happen that this land is going to face the hand of God if we do not repent of our sexual society.

Pray for the right thing to be done .

creation of the world

2007-09-23T19:29:00.000-07:00

Well I am going to do some things tonight the evolution folks are going to not like. I assert that God made the earth in 6 days. I am in bible school and I am going to post parts of the text book because I think it is important. This post is going to blow your mind as we are going to look at the first 2 things. Lookc cfirst on the size of creation

1.    How vast is our universe?
It is so vast that it takes a beam of light (which travels some 700 million miles per hour) over 100,000 years just to cover the distance length of our galaxy called the Milky Way. But our galaxy is only one among many billions in the known universe. To illustrate the size of our universe, consider the following four examples:
a.    paper stack model
(1)    Let us say the thickness of a sheet of paper represents the distance from the earth to the sun (some ninety-three million miles).
(2)    To represent the distance to the nearest star we would need a seventy-one-foot high stack of paper.
(3)    To cover the diameter of our Milky Way galaxy would require a 310-mile high stack.
(4)    To reach the edge of the known universe would demand a pile of paper sheets thirty-one million miles high.
b.    orange and grain of sand model
(1)    Here an orange would represent the sun.
(2)    A grain of sand is the earth, circling the orange at a distance of thirty feet.
(3)    Pluto (most remote planet in our solar system) is another grain of sand, circling the orange at ten city blocks away.
(4)    Alpha Centauri (the nearest star) is 1300 miles away from the orange.
c.    hollow sun illustration
(1)    If the sun were hollow, one million, three hundred thousand earths could fit inside.
(2)    A star named Antares (if hollow) could hold sixty-four million of our suns.
(3)    In the constellation of Hercules there is a star which could contain 100 million of Antares.
(4)    The largest known star, Epsilon, could easily swallow up several million stars the size of the one in Hercules!
d.    the relative speed illustration
(1)    Our earth is traveling around its own axis at 1000 m.p.h.
(2)    It moves around the sun at 67,000 m.p.h.
(3)    It is carried by the sun across our galaxy at a speed of 64,000 m.p.h.
(4)    It moves in orbit around our galaxy at 481,000 m.p.h.
(5)    It travels through space at one million, three hundred and fifty thousand m.p.h.
(6)    Every twenty-four hours we cover 57,360,000 miles.
(7)    Each year we travel 20,936,400,000 miles across empty space.
All the above is, of course, but a feeble attempt to illustrate the magnitude of space and of a universe which contains as many stars as there are grains of sand on all the seashores of the world. Furthermore, in Psalm 147:4 (also Isa. 40:26), we are told that God has both numbered and named each star.
“He telleth the number of the stars; he calleth them all by their names” (Ps. 147:4).
“Lift up your eyes on high, and behold who hath created these things, that bringeth out their host by number: he calleth them all by names by the greatness of his might, for that he is strong in power; not one faileth” (Isa. 40:26).
But more glorious than all this is the statement that this same omnipotent and omniscient God “healeth the broken in heart and bindeth up their wounds” (Ps. 147:3).
“Great is our Lord, and of great power: his understanding is infinite” (Ps. 147:5).

Sin is cureable

2007-09-22T19:58:00.001-07:00

I have talked a ton about the truth that we are all sinners and I really think I want to talk about why Jesus saved people from sin or how he is the most important person in history. Yes one must pay for sin because God is not going to tolerate any of it in his presences. Someone is going to pay a awful price for your sins. It is going to be you in hell but Jesus also paid a price for your heaven so you do not have to. Jesus came and laid his life down and paid for you Ifyou place your trust in him alone.

Rom 5 6 For when we were still without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. 7 For scarcely for a righteous man will one die; yet perhaps for a good man someone would even dare to die. 8 But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. 9 Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him. 10 For if when we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved by His life. 11 And not only that, but we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received the reconciliation.1

Look at the first part of this paswsage, Jesus died when we were sinning the worst. For example on your worst day Jesus paid the price for the sin you were doing. When you hatted Jesus he died for you knowing one day your were going to love him. We were lost cwith no hope to go to heaven and Jesus came and paid on rhe cross. He was whiped and beaten so that you can be free to go to heaven. You were not good or profitable to the Lord. If you are not his why die but that is the great thing about the Lord when we were nothing Jesus picked us and died for him. Why? To show his glory.

We are justified to the Lord because he did it. We did not do anything but place hope in Jesus and that makes us just as if we had never sinned because Jesus paid for all of our sins. God is angry with anyone that does not place trust in the death of Jesus every day. He wants all to take our sin and give it to Jesus. Then you do not face hell. God does not wish anyone in Hell but he has to do it if your not saved because he has no sin in his heaven and one sin that is not placed on Jesus in trust by you is enough to pay in hell forever. It is not fair for Jesus not to forgive you and let you in ever and it is not fair that any go to heaven. In God your not ok until you come and go to Jesus. Please give your trust to Jesus and get saved.

hate is not good

2007-09-20T19:56:00.001-07:00

Why do the people like John Kerry not give us the answer to the Question that was asked of him at the school where the man got tazered. I think this man ought to be impeached because he does not allow freeedom of speech. Friend we need to kick the pricks like Kerry out pf office. Kerry was allowed to speak out in the nam error so it is fair for me to ask him to not disallow the people the total freedom to ask him anything. I will if I am given the chance to ask him. But tonight I need to preach a bit on the sin of hate. If you think drunks are not going to heaven I am really think that this is going to make us real judgemental.

Matt 521 “You have heard that it was said to those of old, ‘You shall not murder, and whoever murders will be in danger of the judgment.’ 22 But I say to you that whoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment. And whoever says to his brother, ‘Raca!’ shall be in danger of the council. But whoever says, ‘You fool!’ shall be in danger of hell fire. SO you want to know the truth and the bible is the truth if you call your brother a fool you can be sent to hell. If you hate anyone the bible calls you acold blooded killer. If you think your4 a good person and harbor hate for anyone for anyreason you must confess it to Jesus before you even go to church and worship because God will not honor your worship. I need to not hate.

Hate is not preaching the truth of the bible, it is the most loving thing to warn people that hell is real and no one get put of hell with the relationship with Jesus. It is a truth that everyone has hated someone at a time. But this sin is one of the worst. Jesus said we are to love God and our neighbor and if you do not then you sinned and one sin means hell forever. Hating is murder God said. Hating anyone is serious. I cannot hate clinton but I need to hate sin and not a sinner.

3 Therefore if you bring your gift to the altar, and there remember that your brother has something against you,24 leave your gift there before the altar, and go your way. First be reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer your gift

DO give to the Lord but if there is one thing betwwen you and anyone forget giving and get right to your brother. If you harbor any dislike do not give or even attend a service in the church till your right So if you owe and need forgiveness get it. DO NOT give money till you have done all you can to right with all. But if you asked for it and the party offended does not grant you forgiveness it is on them and you go free. I had this happen with church and the people did not forgive and the person did not forgive then they are in the wrong. DO NOT take the lords supper without seeking and granting forgiveness. Dangerous thing to take the supper without the clean slate.

25 Agree with your adversary quickly, while you are on the way with him, lest your adversary deliver you to the judge, the judge hand you over to the officer, and you be thrown into prison.26 Assuredly, I say to you, you will by no means get out of there till you have paid the last penny.

Get right with the laws and each other. If you do not love your in trouble and the only way you love is to have Love from Jesus so you can love. Love all and hate none. Hate sins and love right living. Love is giving yourself away without need to be paid back.

Here is another tranlation
21“You’re familiar with the command to the ancients, ‘Do not murder.’ 22I’m telling you that anyone who is so much as angry with a brother or sister is guilty of murder. Carelessly call a brother ‘idiot!’ and you just might find yourself hauled into court. Thoughtlessly yell ‘stupid!’ at a sister and you are on the brink of hellfire. The simple moral fact is that words kill.

23“This is how I want you to conduct yourself in these matters. If you enter your place of worship and, about to make an offering, you suddenly remember a grudge a friend has against you, 24abandon your offering, leave immediately, go to this friend and make things right. Then and only then, come back and work things out with God.
25“Or say you’re out on the street and an old enemy accosts you. Don’t lose a minute. Make the first move; make things right with him. After all, if you leave the first move to him, knowing his track record, you’re likely to end up in court, maybe even jail. 26If that happens, you won’t get out without a stiff fine.

Ps 145

2007-09-14T21:41:00.001-07:00

Update on bible school. I am using the study at Liberty to go into the old testemant. I am getting a text book and notes for my pc and will be talking on things I am learning for the blog. My goal is to get more bible education so I can preach better on my page and grow in my walk in Jesus. That is my goal is to get closer to Jesus and futher away from this world and its dead sinful ways.

I want to to try to finsh the thing I am doing. I am working in psalms 145.

Psalms 145 10 All Your works shall praise You, O Lord,
And Your saints shall bless You.
11 They shall speak of the glory of Your kingdom,
And talk of Your power,
12 To make known to the sons of men His mighty acts,
And the glorious majesty of His kingdom.
13 Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom,
And Your dominion endures throughout all generations.
Why did the Lord make us? He made us to praise him and to have us show off his love and tell of his work. His acts like creation which was in six days not millions of years, His son who came to die on the cross, and his kingdom which is not part of the earth but part of the work of God. We ought not really worry about the things in our land or the global warming because this earth is going to burn and we the redeemed get to go to a new place that God made. God controls it all including the leaders and the climate and to think either can be changed is just not right. God is sovern over everything down to the weather and the fate of everyone. Domin is the govering of God and I hold to all of Gods rule oerrides any plan on man. In Clinton winsit is the hand of God that places her in and he plans it all
14 The Lord upholds all who fall,
And raises up all who are bowed down.
15 The eyes of all look expectantly to You,
And You give them their food in due season.
16 You open Your hand
And satisfy the desire of every living thing.
God takes care of the humble who honor him by being low. If you fall or fail God is to be the thing that can restore you and bring you back. Jesus did this with Peter. Peter denyed Jesus and Jesus restored him from tnhis sin. If you fall into sin go to Jesus asap and seek forgiveness. Look to the Lord to give you your needs and he does it. In all my life Jesus has met my needs and many wants and wishes. He is a good supply of all of your needs if your saved and not saved. God takes good care off all the living. Even the flowers and birds are under his care for God does all and is the natures God.
17 The Lord is righteous in all His ways,
Gracious in all His works.
18 The Lord is near to all who call upon Him,
To all who call upon Him in truth.
God is total perfection in every act ever done. He never makes a sin and never will, It is perfection that Jesus was for all of his life. Nothing in the bible is wrong to the t and i. If it was done by Jesus or sgtated in his word it is truth and anything else is fiction. God is very gracious to his kids. If you fail to trust him he is total grace in allowing you to be on his earth and eat his food and spend his money. If you live to call on Jesus he is there close to you.
19 He will fulfill the desire of those who fear Him;
He also will hear their cry and save them.
20 The Lord preserves all who love Him,
But all the wicked He will destroy.

\If you love the Lord accept him and live for Jesus you get desires filled in heaven nd on earth. He saves you and he loved you. But if you are wicked and sin and do not love Jesus your going to a place of sheer pain forever. It will be fire that will burn you. I think that your civen a type of body made for hell that is desinged to make pain for every second of hell. Hell will never ever end and the first hour will be as a billon and you will have a body that will never be gone that will be alone forever in the worst painful thing ever and if you do not get saved I will be unaware of you forever. Place your trust in Jesus today. No Jesus No peace in life.

21 My mouth shall speak the praise of the Lord,
And all flesh shall bless His holy name
Forever and ever.1

I am goingv to praise God forever vfor Jesus

learn to adore God

2007-09-11T20:37:00.000-07:00

Hi there world. I am shad and thank you for reading this. Lets work on the word of God and learn how to praise him.

We are going to ask what ought we praise God for in this text. I urge you to read this passage over and over this week and then wriite out some things about the Lord we ought to praise him for.

Ps 148 A Song of God’s Majesty and Love
A Praise of David.
1 I will extol You, my God, O King; And I will bless Your name forever and ever.
2 Every day I will bless You,
And I will praise Your name forever and ever.
3 Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised;
And His greatness is unsearchable.
The Lord is great and we ought to praise him. God said let there be light and there it was. God said let there be man. God has named every star in the universe and there are just many trillions of stars and God named all of them. If I asked you to take a cup of dirt and count every grain and name them your not going to do it. God names every star and attends every living things funeral. God is great. Great is the Lord. He is the sovern of the universe and before he made it he made the book of life and wrote history and then he made it.
4 One generation shall praise Your works to another,
And shall declare Your mighty acts.
We ought to be teaching the truth of God to our kids. We need to teach the commands of the Lord to kids from the time they are born till the day they leave the nest. God needs to be given to the next generation and parents anjd the whole church needs to invest in the family and your church. We ought to think of the things he has done for us and the things the Lord did in all of history.

5 I will meditate on the glorious splendor of Your majesty,
And on Your wondrous works.
Sujch as Createing the world, feeding every one in grace, saving people, sending Jesus, healing all sickness, granting every meal we eat, Allowing us to have good weather, and everything we need to live now and forever.

6 Men shall speak of the might of Your awesome acts,
And I will declare Your greatness.
7 They shall utter the memory of Your great goodness,
And shall sing of Your righteousness.
I am scared for anyone that does not honor Jesus for all hed has done. If your not saved I shutter at this, you know God is real and you slapped him in the face. Only God is good and this world is horrid. All the things you have afre the gift of a God to you. If you do not see God as good and reject him I shutter to think of the hell you are going to. God sent his son to die and you are just spitting on Jesus on every bite of the food you did not thank him for. You have been given a computer and cash and you think nothing of the good God that gave it to you. He did not give the people of China half of your gifts. God gave you everything and you do nothing but not praise and thank him. Sad

8 The Lord is gracious and full of compassion,
Slow to anger and great in mercy.
9 The Lord is good to all,
And His tender mercies are over all His works.
God still is genorous. You will never out give God. If your poor give the Lord all you can and he will give to you all you need. Gods compassion for you is that he allows you to live inspite of the truth that everyone ever deserves to die right now and go to hell. God is slow to anger. He will allow me to live in spite I am a sinner. He can kill every one who sins on the first offence yet he waits for you to come to Jesus and get saved. He feeds everyone inspite of their sin. God is nothing but good to people. How can you reject Jesus and his total love. No man ever gave his life for you but the Lord came and saved you from hell and if you fail to see that then you need to see hell vforever.

Living word is bad

2007-09-09T19:37:00.000-07:00

Here is the topic tonight and I intend to nail Mac Hammond. I am not a fan of this man and I got a few reasons why he is not good for my tastes. I do not wish to be kind here I need to talk hard and it is not fun. I am also taking aim at the so called “word Faith” problem.

I do not think touges are for this time. They ceased when the bible was done. If you add the private prayer stuff is ok. God wrote the book and stopped speaking right then. Hammond does not like this and does not belive the truth. He is with the whole tbn thing.

I think he preaches a false gospel in that people can get rich if they give to God. This is not in the bible. Yes if you give it is going to bless you. But he might not and that does not mean you stop giving. I want to hear someone that gave to get. Not good. Also he teaches healing is a right for all the saved. I disagree healing is not like they teach, God never said healing is promised in this life. It is in heaven. God chooses not to heal for his work is done. I do not expect to be healed from the gift of CP. I am going to reach people with it.

Mac teaches a filling of the Holy Spirit is shown touges. No this is false teaching and I think the filling has been twisted. Here is how to be filled is to confess you sins and then allow the forgiveness of God. John Piper has a sermon on this. On the net It will be at the end of this time. If your saved you get the filling on the day your saved. The cup of the spirit is gone when you sin and the thing you do is confess your sins.

Pastor Mac does not teach the bible on the topic of forever salvtion. One time you got saved and your going to be saved in heaven. People this alone is enough to never talk to Mac.

I think there ARE GOOD folk that go to his church but I also ask what the bible teachs. We got to stick the the bible in this time. I think you ought to find a solid church based on the bible. In this area go to Pipers church,

\Here are the parts I think Living word needs to know and why I do not unite. This is my theolgy and I do not ever chang it for anyone

We teach that there were two kinds of gifts given the early church: miraculous gifts of divine revelation and healing, given temporarily in the apostolic era for the purpose of confirming the authenticity of the apostles' message (Hebrews 2:3 4; 2 Corinthians 12:12); and ministering gifts, given to equip believers for edifying one another. With the New Testament revelation now complete, Scripture becomes the sole test of the authenticity of a man's message, and confirming gifts of a miraculous nature are no longer necessary to validate a man or his message (1 Corinthians 13:8 12). Miraculous gifts can even be counterfeited by Satan so as to deceive even believers (1 Corinthians 13:13-14:12; Revelation 13:13 14). The only gifts in operation today are those nonrevelatory equipping gifts given for edification (Romans 12:6 8). We teach that no one possesses the gift of healing today but that God does hear and answer the prayer of faith and will answer in accordance with His own perfect will for the sick, suffering, and afflicted (Luke 18:1 6; John 5:7 9; 2 Corinthians 12:6 10; James 5:13 16; 1 John 5:14 15).

not all get heaven

2007-09-07T20:19:00.000-07:00

I lost my clinton stuff. Explain to me why the lady is fit to lead when whe did so much under the radar in the white house and does not give me the right to see the records. White water to Foster suiside that she is responable for to all the health care stuff. She has no plan but to take your cash and give it to others. That is called USSR in the 1900 because wealth is not right for people. It is a plan to make it fair for the nobody that is a drunk to get cash. If your a drunk and hold no job go off the system and drink to death. Sorry no compassion for folks that sin. Sin means you die. Global warming is real and it is going to kill many because of sins of greed over oil money. To stop most problems we need to turn to Jesus and live as he told us to. No sex outside of marrige and if you are then you get aids and want me to give you a cure NO. Get off the drugs and sex then get my help. Jesus and our faith gives you chance after chance and sinners just spit in the face of hope. Another thing people that do not want home schools because the kids will not have to look at the pro gay stupid stuff and they can hear the truth of God who made this world in seven days. Yes God spoke and the earth was made. Evolution ought to be trashed because it can not stand any test. I do think there is a form of evoltuion but it is small changes over time. In 1st grade the frog becomes a prine and that is a story and a fairy
tale but in 10th grade it becomes true? Bull.

I got bad news for many billions of people... NO HEAVEN I preach this because folk are so confused on this. Many claim to be good people and if your not you need to be warned that your in danger of hell. EVERY PERSON THAT DOES NOT PLACE TRUST IN JESUS ALONE WILL DIE AND SPEND FOREVER IN HELL. I say this with love deep in my heart for every one that needs Jesus. I am not a hater I am into loving every one. I talked to gays today.

I Cor 6 9 Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, 10 nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God. 11 And such were some of you. But you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus and by the Spirit of our God.1

No oned that has sex outside of marrige goes to heaven. If you sleep with another your placeing yourself in the fire of hell.

No one that has sex with anyone but his wife OR looks at another with lust is going to heaven

No Gay will ever enter the kingdom of God.

No one that steals will ever see or place one foot into the Heaven of Jesus. One cent is enough.

No Jealous folks will be allowed in heaven.

No one in false religion goes to heaven. It is Jesus and God or nothing. All other faiths in any form of religion allow you into heaven.

No one that uses achol is going to heaven. Get drunk one time face hell forever. It is the bible not me

If you gossip one time it is killing 50 people to God and you lose any hope of heaven. No one that takes one penny of funds goes to heaven.

But if you make it right with Jesus and take his life and death and make him your lord you are going to go to heaven even if you did all the above because in the death of Jesus your life is paid invfull forever and you will not do any of the above. Jesus died to pay your sins off and he alone can make you ok. In you nothing comes to save you MUST go to the cross and trust in the full payment of Jesus.

clinton mocks Jesus

No matter what I am not going to support Clintion, and I am going to keep asking her to release the truth about her time in the white house. I ask for all the documents on the time in the whiter house including the health care truth, the white water files and Foster death which she had stuff to do with even if he did himself in. It is her fault. Also the Paula Jones suit and her dealings daily of the first lady. She owes me all of her records and to explain her continued attacks on christians in the media.; Explain to me why Clinton is not responseable for the attacks of 9 11. He did not take out the people he needed to in the world like Obama and Sadamn. Clinton is the worst choice for office and will kill the home schooling movement where ther parents have freedom not to teach the public schools stuff, Evolution, homos are ok, anti Jesus schools are wrong and if the muslims get p0rayer rooms then give the same righs to christians. Allow the bible to be taught as is in every school in gthe land. Allow the kidsto have bible clubs in every school in america. In MN we have the fca and ccc clubs in many schools where the bible is taught.

I thought the saints would play a better game. Colts and Payton are going to have a good year nd win the NFL. Mark this day I am calling the colts to get to the AFC championship. I think I am going to do ok in the nfl stuff. Hilery is the least person of faith another big reason to not vote for her. Please if you intend to vote for her give me reasons and not because she is not bush. She is unfit to command any army because she is a female. Bible said the man shall lead and the woman is to support the man. Just the way God made us. Man Leads and if that makes me in this dark world some kind of bigot so be it. God is then one to the twisted sin sick world. I am not looking to be solid in the world and PC I am looking to be living for Jesus and the word. I lost a job over my views and that was the best thing for me and my life because I do not want to work for them if they will not let my faith be mine. Jesus said I am going to be mocked and harmed for loving him doing his work. So there is proof that the bible is true. When I am harassed for Jesus it just proves the Lord is Jesus. Just like global warming is truth in the bible and so is the fact we in our land got are getting it because we allow sin.

Here is a passage to think about/

1 Peter 11 Beloved, I beg you as sojourners and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts which war against the soul, 12 having your conduct honorable among the Gentiles, that when they speak against you as evildoers, they may, by your good works which they observe, glorify God in the day of visitation.1

Gays can change

2007-09-01T14:07:00.000-07:00

Seems like some think homos are a issue that cannot change. Nope. I am going to just post some of the truth that if one is saved Jesus is going to change them. Why do I cover this? It is issue of faith. If you r a person of faith you will change and if you do not I dare say you need to read some truth of changed lifes. I urge you all to read and comment

“I asked Jesus to come into my heart - and He set me free from homosexuality - forever. That day God changed my life, and I will be eternally grateful to Him for what He did. Within two days I was out of my partner’s bed, and within two weeks I moved out of my partner’s home and was on my way and walk with Jesus Christ.”
- - Stephen Bennett ~ husband, father, former homosexual

God’s Amazing Grace
In the fall of 1981, as an 18 year old aspiring artist with a dream, and a freshman at one of New York’s top art schools, I reached one of the darkest periods in my life. On a cold rainy night, far away from home I acted out on feelings I had throughout my entire childhood and teen years - I had my first homosexual encounter with another student. After drinking alcohol at a school party and getting drunk for the first time ever, something I swore I never would do because of my family’s past, my life literally changed in one night. I was plummeted into the deep, dark world of homosexuality. After only a few short months in art school, I suffered from a very severe depression, and dropped out of school and returned home to my family in Connecticut.
I found many of my old high schools friends had also “come out” as homosexuals, and became very active in the homosexual bar scene. I lived for the night - my drinking became worse, I started using cocaine to help alleviate my mental turmoil, and found much love and acceptance by other men. I had many numerous one night stands. I felt I was finally “me”. However, my drug addiction got worse to the point where I became a cocaine dealer just to support my habit - I lost my art business to drugs, as well as my dignity to a life based upon a perverse, sensual and decrepit lifestyle I couldn’t break free from. It was at this point many of my friends and one night encounters were getting “sick” and dying, and no one knew why. This sickness was the beginning of the Aids epidemic.
Things only grew worse and I saw a 135 lb. living skeleton, and I began to cry. I ran down to a payphone on the corner and called for help. I admitted myself into a drug rehabilitation program, and began my recovery as an inpatient for 3 months at a nearby facility. It was at this point I began to see God working in my life.
Within a few short months I was alcohol and drug free, as well as freed from my bulimia. I had gained about 25 lbs and was feeling great. However, I still had a deep dark secret past hidden inside of me. What was I to do with my homosexuality? Deep down inside I knew it was wrong, yet I was just suppressing it. After dating a few girls, I found myself one night back again at a local gay bar. I didn’t drink or do drugs - but that night I met a man that I fell in love with, and began a 3 year live in relationship with him. It seemed I had it all - my homosexual lifestyle and love, without the drugs, alcohol and bulimia, a great job, beautiful home, and great homosexual friends. I attended church faithfully every week - and felt I had it all. But God wasn’t done with me yet. In fact, He had just started.
My doorbell rang and it was my friend Kathy, a friend for years who had seen me through the good and bad times of my life. She had a Bible in her hand, and asked if she could come in.
Kathy told me she left her religious background and became a Christian. She told me how Jesus changed her life and how, according to the Bible, homosexuality was wrong - a sin and an abomination in God’s eyes. She told me how, according to the Bible, I was not “born that way”, and that it was a choice of lifestyle, from which Jesus could set me - today. I listened intently and something inside of me told me she was right. I told her I would take the Bible and she left. That day, the Word of God cut right through me. I saw my homosexuality for the first time as God saw it - as sin. Anytime something would happen between my partner and I sexually, I found myself praying for forgiveness to God on my bathroom floor. God was tugging at my heart strings, and I knew it.
The tugging was so hard and clear that I left my partner, my job, my family - everything, and headed off to Provincetown, Massacheusetts - a homosexual subculture - to live for a summer, to see if I could reconcile this pull between being a homosexual and being a Christian. Did I have to choose one or the other, or could I be both at the same time in God’s eyes?
Well, in that summer of 1991 God opened my eyes to the truth and perverseness of the homosexual lifestyle. I saw it all in full swing, in all of its glory - transsexuals, transvestites, sado masochists, men and women doing things one would never even imagine. After five months in Provincetown, I returned home to my partner asking for forgiveness for leaving him. I was sorry and I was going to put this “Christian” business aside. After only five short months at home in his house, by myself while wrapping Christmas presents, I happened to flip through radio stations and came across a Christian one. A man was singing a song and I heard the lyrics about “men marching for their right to sin”. I knew exactly what the song was talking about - it was talking about me. I may have put God on the back burner - but He was still chasing after me.
And on New Year’s eve of 1991 I attended a homosexual party with my partner, and for the first time ever in my life - I felt “dirty.” I hated myself. I hated my lifestyle. But I just couldn’t break free.
I called my friend Kathy on the telephone and told her I was going to move back to Provincetown for good and completely give myself over to the homosexual lifestyle. I felt as if I had lost my soul - I was crying out for help - and that’s when Jesus Christ stepped in.
She read to me from the Bible, from the book of Romans, how God will “call” you - and if He keeps calling you, and you hear, yet harden your heart, it may come to a point where He will make you a “reprobate” in His sight and give you completely over to your sin, and allow you to believe “the lie”. At that point, according to the Bible, you have basically sealed your destiny away from Him forever.
It scared me so much, I asked her what I needed to do, and she told me that I should pray to Jesus right then, ask Him to deliver me from the homosexuality and to forgive me for my sins and come into my heart and life to be my Lord and Saviour and to take control. At that moment I did, and physically felt the peace of God upon me.
On the telephone that day in January of 1992, I asked Jesus to come into my heart, and He set me free from homosexuality forever. That day God changed my life, and I will be eternally grateful to Him for what He did. Within two days I was out of my partner’s bed, and within two weeks I moved out of my partner’s home and was on my way and walk with Jesus Christ.
It is unbelievable how the journey has been. Within eight months, I was engaged to a beautiful Christian woman named Irene, who knew me as a homosexual and prayed for me for years. We were married on June 13, 1993. Today, we are very happily married. God has blessed us with two other miracles - our beautiful daughter Chloe Catherine who was born in 1999, and our son Blake Stephen, born on Chloe’s birthday in 2001. Chloe’s middle name is in dedication to my friend Kathy, who never gave up on me - a vessel of God, whom He used to change my destiny forever.
My life now is wonderful. I am truly free, and it is all because of Jesus Christ and His love for me. Jesus is the answer for all of our needs, no matter what they are. You may be, know or live with a homosexual, a drug addict, or an alcoholic. Let me make something very clear: God loves the sinner – yet He hates the sin. Remember that with God, nothing is impossible. Believe me; I know. I believe in miracles, for I’ve seen a soul set free… for that lost soul was me.

tell the truth to the world

2007-08-30T20:41:00.000-07:00

I am going to be allowing comments from my cousin. Just know she is a clintion supporter. I said the other night that she did not know the issue and I was wrong she does know where she stands. I was told not to bash the gay folks and I said I do not. I know the bible calls homosexual life is a sin that God wants you to repent from. It is a sin. But I also sin everyday and I need to repent to. I lie and cheat, I say mean things so when I say gayness is a sin it is part of life. We need never bash one that is gay because Jesus said to love all man but love is warning people of sin and the need to repent. If a drug user reads this I would tell you not to do drugs or have sex outside of marrige. If your not claiming to be saved then know your not going to want to end your sin, I am saved and I want tonot sin and I want you to know Jesus and get saved. I also do not ever allow non saved folk to say what they want or promote their people and sin because that is not right for my puppose I am one sided when it comes to the bible and Jesus. No other religion will ever go on my sites and if you comments are anti God or contain swearing or any foul things no matter what I will remove them. I also feel the right to do all I am able to make sure Clintion does not take it in 2008 including showing she is a mean evil person that does not want you to know all the truth about her that she is going to kill more people, get judges that will rip your freedom away

So how do we fight hunger in the church? I think one thing we need to do as a church is to feed all the people we aree able by teaching people to get and keep jobs. I also think we need to give more to missions than ever. I belive that if one never hears the truth of Jesus they are not saved they are not going to go to heaven. If we truly read the truth we know we need to reach the world with the grace of Jesus. It is not a happy thing to know there is one way to heaven if most of the world does not even know the name of Jesus. Over 2 billion have not heard the truth. Before you cry make sure everone you know has a clear knowlage of the gospel and has made a choice yes or no on Jesus. We owe everyone the good news. Jesus does all the saving and rejection of folks.

Matthew 2818 And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. 19 Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Amen.1

Go some of us need to leave our homes and tell another person the truth. Maybe hand out tracts and just live for Jesus. Jesus said to take converts and give them the basic teaching of the faith. Assureance to shareing the faith. Until the new beliver is ready to feed himself or herself in the bible and church stick with them. We need to get folks into church and baptized. After you get saved you need to go to a church that baptizes you after you make Jesus Lord. It might mean your going to do it 2 times. If you got wet before you asked Jesus into your life do it again. We teach the bible and the things it teachs. Get the new convert some Macarthur tapes or get them to listen to good teaching.

Then we ought to set aside some of the income we work for and fund folks out reaching the world. If we all do something more will get into the faith.

Are you thristy

2007-08-28T20:27:00.000-07:00

John 7 37 On the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, saying, “If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink. 38 He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.” 39 But this He spoke concerning the Spirit, whom those believing in Him would receive; for the Holy Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus was not yet glorified.

I am going to do my best to work this passage. I really do not have a ton to say but I want to dig here. Jesus said that if I am thristy come to him for the living water. If you are hungray in the spirit then go to Jesus. Jesus said this on the feast of tebernacles, which is a high point in the jewish land. In the last day of this fest the Jews would take and pour water out to show honor to the Lord. Well this water Jesus is offering is said to b e living and if you drink it your going to have water flowing out of you. Jesus is tellingmaybe of the Spirit and how when one is saved your going to have the thrist for your soul is filled by Jesus in the Spirit. Your witnessing is the truth that flows out of you.

So I take this away from this passage. Jesus is living in me and I can be filled to overflowing when I am following the Lord. Also when I am saved I can go to the spirit and be filled. In the filling of the spirit we are filled when we confess our sins and ask for the filling of the Spirit.

So for the saved Lets get filled with the Spirit by confessing our sins and asking to be filled with Gods power to live and serve Jesus

For the unsaved Get saved. If you know your a sinner ask for Jesus to forgive you and ask him to be your lord and Love. Then read the bible and get to know him.

Think on this one

2007-08-27T20:04:00.001-07:00

To begin here are 4 things to use to fight to keep Clintion out of the white house.

1 She will raise your tax and do it in a major way. I do not think it is ever good to take money out of the hands of the people and give it to the goverment. They have too much cash already. They need to cut taxs in half.

2 She will not work to create gas here. She is going to expect us to go elsewhere and get gas. We have gas in this land and we ought to get it here and make 10 new refinerys. Also we need to stop this global warming junk. Yes we need to make cbnges and save gas b ut we also ought to make our own.

3 She will not fight the war on the muslims. I hate the war and I wish we did not have toi fight but the truth is we had to go and we ought to stay till the people on the field say go home. No one ought in washington tells the generals in Iraq what to do.

4 She will take the health care out of the hands of the people. We ought to maked your taxs refunds for free healthcare.or let us choose our care. No to limited freedom. Yes to allowing us to get health care for ourselfs.

Now the word I read this psalm and I am going to make comments on it

The Consoling Memory of God’s Redemptive Works
To the Chief Musician. To Jeduthun. A Psalm of Asaph.
Outline
1-9 A depressed mind
1 I cried out to God with my voice— To God with my voice;
And He gave ear to me.
God listens to his own when we pray. It is amazing that the Lord gives care fo the people that need him.

2 In the day of my trouble I sought the Lord;
My hand was stretched out in the night without ceasing;
My soul refused to be comforted.
3 I remembered God, and was troubled;
I complained, and my spirit was overwhelmed. Selah
When one is in trouble he went to find the lord. \Vick I was just told found Jesus. In the time of trouble it is common to find Jesus and to make him our lord. God gives us hard vtimes to Lean on Jesus and to make us turn to him. Jesus knows that so he allows folks to have hard times so we turn to Jesus. Note that when we are down we ought to be in prayer all night if we need to be.
But the cwriter is into himself. He refused to be comfroted by the Lord. He did not rest in his Lord and that is a problem because the Lord is the only thing really that helps you. It is danger to not rest in the Lord.

4 You hold my eyelids open;
I am so troubled that I cannot speak.
5 I have considered the days of old,
The years of ancient times.
6 I call to remembrance my song in the night;
I meditate within my heart,
And my spirit makes diligent search.
7 Will the Lord cast off forever? Rom 8
And will He be favorable no more? Col 2
8 Has His mercy ceased forever? Neh 9 32
Has His promise failed forevermore? EPH 1
9 Has God forgotten to be gracious? EX 34 1-9
Has He in anger shut up His tender mercies? Selah
He is in self pity. I do not think this writer had the mind of the Lord on and does noit have his eyes into the truth. The things he is asking show me he is not close to the Lord. In 7 he forgot the Love of God for him. If one is saved God is not going to leave him or fosake him. God in 8 seems to be forgoten. Gods mercy or the taking away of the punshment is not thought of. I feel that way sometimes and that just is not true. That is the time I need to get into the word and get the truth of Jesus into me. I placed some passages to show you the truth in the word this writer asked. It is good to know the word and be able to go to places to know the truth.
10 And I said, “This is my anguish;
But I will remember the years of the right hand of the Most High.”
11 I will remember the works of the Lord;
Surely I will remember Your wonders of old.
12 I will also meditate on all Your work,
And talk of Your deeds.
13 Your way, O God, is in the sanctuary;
Who is so great a God as our God?
14 You are the God who does wonders;
You have declared Your strength among the peoples.
15 You have with Your arm redeemed Your people,
The sons of Jacob and Joseph. Selah
Now the writeer is going to recall the work of the Lord. What are sonme of the good things the Lord has done in my life? He saved me and always supplyed my needs and lots of wants. Gods provition in lofe for me proves he loves me and I am his. It is a good reason to keep a prayer list of how you prayed and what the Lord did for you. Then when your down you can thank Jesus God gave a collection of his deeds to see the faithfulness of himself. God took a nation out of slavery, God took and gave a king to a land, and God kept his nation even after sin after sin. We ought to read the bible noteing the work God did in the past./

16 The waters saw You, O God;
The waters saw You, they were afraid;
The depths also trembled.
17 The clouds poured out water;
The skies sent out a sound;
Your arrows also flashed about.
18 The voice of Your thunder was in the whirlwind;
The lightnings lit up the world;
The earth trembled and shook.
19 Your way was in the sea,
Your path in the great waters,
And Your footsteps were not known.
20 You led Your people like a flock
By the hand of Moses and Aaron.
Look to the past and see God has a trustworthy record to see and trust. If you lack happyness look to the care of the Lord in your life. Love him and trust his good in you. Keep a record of the Lords goodness in your life so that you can praise him and use the works of the Bible to praise him and to know he has good for you.

Oh the Love of Jesus for me

2007-08-21T21:22:00.000-07:00

I think the wrath of God is on the cross for the sinner and Jesus took the full wrath of God, Jesus lover for you and I is greater than anything possible and Jesus Love is perfect as is the Love he has for the saved.`` I think the cross is not presented weekly in the church thus the church is not ok and healthy. I need to be reminded all the time it is the cross Jesus is the sin you as the saved would of been. Jesus became sin on the cross and God took all the possible wrath for the saved and put it on him. It makes me go deeper into the Lords word and want to serve him. If he loves me so much that he took the entire wrath for my sin. I was reading the word today. I hit this and just want to talk over it tonight.

1 Peter 13 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His abundant mercy has begotten us again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, 4 to an inheritance incorruptible and undefiled and that does not fade away, reserved in heaven for you, 5 who are kept by the power of God through faith for salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.

Now Lets just soak this passage in. Blessed be the Father of the Lord Jesus. It makes me just want to draw into Gods Love right here and rest. (Psalms 23 and 103) God mercy has made us his kid and has given us a hope and a new song. How? The cross and the death and the truth that Jesus took the wrath so now we have a new day and new hope of life forever. Now that is awesome but to read on and this just gets better, We have a hope in heaven that canot ever be corrupted or defiled, It is so awesome that It never fades away. It is in heaven for me. Here is Macarthurs thoughts on this passage:

The living hope is eternal life. “Hope” means confident optimism, and:
1)comes from God (Ps. 43:5); God gives the hope. What love is that
2) is a gift of grace (2 Thess. 2:16); Grace is Gods riches at Christs expence. Jesus paid in the death of himself. It is the greatest love possible.
3) is defined by Scripture (Rom. 15:4) If the bible said it it is done
4) is a reasonable reality (3:15); God said it I trust it and it will happen.
5)is secured by the resurrection of Jesus Christ (John 11:25,26; 14:19; 1 Cor. 15:17); Jesus gave his life and Ghod raised him
6)is confirmed in the Christian by the Holy Spirit (Rom. 15:13); If your saved your sealed in the Jesus and his Holy Spirit. Now you get that when Jesus livs in you. It is not another filling. Signs and wonders folk are going to say people need to have another baptism. No Jesus gave you all blessings when you got saved,
7) defends the Christian against Satan’s attacks (1 Thess. 5:8); He cannot take you out of Jesus hand and if you saved Jesus makes the call if satan can tempt you. All evil is controled by God and he permits it but controls it. Yes God allowed eve to sin and he used it to show his Glory.
8)is confirmed through trials (Rom. 5:3,4); James 1
9)produces joy (Ps. 146:5); It makes you happy. Jesus fillls the need of being happy. He is the only true happiness. No other thing outside Jesus can make you happy. Muslims are not happy they have to do things to maybe get to heaven. Jesus Just is far better and did all the things to reach out to you and you rest in him. All other religions are false and lead to a life that has no hope or peace, EVERY other faith is a false one and leads away from hope.
10)is fulfilled in Christ’s return (Titus 2:13).1 Jesus is coming to take us the saved home and it is all shown in the bible. Global warming is a sign the Lordis coming soon. It is never going to be solved. It is going to get worse. Politics is so full of signs. It seems all the dems want to go to Jesus but they are out of the truth. Jesus kingdom is not of this world it is one that is his and does not care about this world. My hope is not in the world or and man to mane life better, my hope is on Jesus and his love for me and his heaven for me.

does God love you

2007-08-20T20:48:00.000-07:00

I got a ball at Twins Game. It was hit with love by Wlkins. I got to hear Piper who did a good sermon on evil and the Lords will in it, you all ought to go to a church like his because it focuses on the cross and inspired me in my walk. I do not hear it in church the cross and I want to hear it every time I am in church because it is the blood of Jesus and his cross is the reason I am in church. I went to see the team that Erin is on. I got to meet some of them. I gave my card to Zolman and asked her to email me. I am praying for Erin and always will. So if your on the team email me and say hi. Shanna your a great person and loved by the Lord tons and tons. I want to think on that some tonight and feedback is needed here.

Where ought we draw the line on the fear of God and the wrath of God?

I like to think of it like this, God is going to judge everyone according to the bible and we all have to account for all actions. We all are sinners and one sin sends persons to the fire of hell forever case closed. Most of the race is in that lane. If one breaks God rules one time that is the end of anything good and that person can never go to heaven. It is fairness that every one reading this blog has no hope inside themselves to ever die and go to heaven. All have sinned and failed to make heaven. If you not in Jesus and loving him fully and know your repented and trust him alone for forgiveness you ought to be fearing God because your without hope when you die as you will go to hell forever. No Jesus no hope.

Gods made man for fellowship and deeply lost fellowship with man. When we sin we are slapping our maker on to face. God saw that we were so hopeless that he wanted to show the great love for us. God had one thing to do and that is to in a way pay in hell for our sins. So he sent his most valueable thing and that is himself. He lived a life that he cnever sinned ever. In this he freely gave his life bercause this could be the wrath of God on display. Jesus takes the wrath of hell and grants the folks that trust him life forever. It is the good news. We get to know God as father and lord and he becomes our daddy. This is grace and it is not for the folks that do not take Jesus and repent.

I do not think good people go to heaven because there are no good people and no one ever has been ok to God. It is not that Jesus died did not die and allow all into heaven it ought to be the sheer question why ought Jesus died for anyone. He died for you if you take him and repent and place your hope inJesus.

Here is more on this topic

uestion: "Does God love everyone or just Christians?"

Answer: There is a sense in which God loves everyone in the whole world (John 3:16; 1 John 2:2; Romans 5:8). This love in not conditional – it is based only on the fact that God is a God of love (1 John 4:8,16). God’s love for all of mankind results in the fact that God shows His mercy by not immediately punishing people for their sins (Romans 3:23; 6:23). If God did not love everyone, we would all be in hell right now. God’s love for the world is manifested in the fact that He gives people the opportunity to repent (2 Peter 3:9). However, God’s love for the world does not mean that He will ignore sin. God is also a God of justice (2 Thessalonians 1:6). Sin cannot go unpunished forever (Romans 3:25-26).

The most loving act of eternity is described in Romans 5:8, “But God demonstrates His own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” Anyone who ignores God’s love, who rejects Christ as Savior, who denies the Savior who bought him (2 Peter 2:1) – that person will be subject to God’s wrath for eternity (Romans 1:18), not His love (Romans 6:23). God loves everyone unconditionally in that He shows mercy to everyone. God conditionally loves only those who place their faith in His Son for salvation (John 3:36). Only those who believe in Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior will experience God’s love for eternity.

Does God love everyone? Yes. Does God love Christians more than He loves non-Christians? No. Does God love Christians differently than He loves non-Christians? Yes. God loves everyone equally in that He is merciful to all. God only loves Christians in that Christians have His eternal grace and mercy – the promise of His forever love in Heaven. It is God’s love for all that should draw us all to receive His eternal love.

stand on the word and my job

2007-08-08T20:57:00.001-07:00

I am not sure my Job is going to work out all that well, it is a fast place and they are not going to start me out. I am dishing right now but I am not sure I am going to stay there for long. I am hoping to get back to Dbs and work there if that is ok. I think the Lord might be testing me to see if I am going to stay with him or not and I am going to because he is with me and has a plan. Gos does not owe me anything but I know he is going to get the glory when I get a good job. If I do not the Lord is going to still be my lord and I am going to follow him and his plans.

Prov 20 18 Plans are established by counsel;
By wise counsel wage war.1
I need to be in a group to know where God wants me to be.

John 7 25 Now some of them from Jerusalem said, “Is this not He whom they seek to kill? 26 But look! He speaks boldly, and they say nothing to Him. Do the rulers know indeed that this is truly the Christ? 27 However, we know where this Man is from; but when the Christ comes, no one knows where He is from.”

Who is talking, it is the folks that know where Jesus is from and how he was growing up. He was in his home area where he grew up. So when he talked about being the Lord God I would think the people who knew him think he is a bit nuts. If Jesus is a fake why did he not get shut down there and then? It is because the plan is that Jesus give his own life at the right time and not until the right time. Are you ready to give your life to Jesus? Are we ready to give all to the master and learn from him?

28 Then Jesus cried out, as He taught in the temple, saying, “You both know Me, and you know where I am from; and I have not come of Myself, but He who sent Me is true, whom you do not know. 29 But I know Him, for I am from Him, and He sent Me.”
30 Therefore they sought to take Him; but no one laid a hand on Him, because His hour had not yet come. 31 And many of the people believed in Him, and said, “When the Christ comes, will He do more signs than these which this Man has done?”2

Many people knew that Jesus is the Lord because of the signs that Jesus did. Jesus had shared to the people he selected to give them faith. Many did not know Jesus and did not have a clue of what Jesus came to do, that is to redeem the world and his elect and those who trust in him forgive sin in his death. Jesus did the same things for both of the partys the ones that trusted him and t5he ones who did not trust him Both had the same chance but some did not trust him and others did. So where do I stand am I going to trust in the Lord and work for him or am I going to deny Jesus? I am going to place hope in the Lord and trust him and take him at his word.

Here is the thing I am standing on

Phil 4 19 And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus. 3

know your His

It is not good to call into questions a brothers salvation. I got a pal that calls me to always question if I am saved and I think it is not ok. First of all salvation is a gift of God and when one calls on the name of Jesus and places his trust in Jesus alone that ends it. Jesus wants you to know that if he is in you your his and not to worry about it. If you question that in one more sateen has working on self and not on others. It makes me mad and the next one to go and question I am going to preach this to we are saved because of grace of God and not of work in any shape or form. No one can lose their salvation after they are saved. But so many do not get this and they say you can. I could go all over the bible but I am going to give one passage. If your not saved you get no hope of heaven and hell is your home forever. Saved is you placed your eternal trust in Jesus and his work on the cross for your forgiveness of sins. It is belief and repenting of sin that makes one saved. If you are not saved and trust Jesus this is not for you. If you are God said this

Romans 8 38 For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, 39 nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.1

Rom 10 13 For “whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.”2

If you have called on Jesus your saved so stop thinking your not saved. You have it all when you got Jesus.

Eph 1 3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ,

If your in Jesus you have all of Jesus and not some of Jesus. Everything is yours in Jesus. If your his stop doubting or filling a churches requirements like conformation or mass because your all saved. I dis the pope and his system because he is not going to tell you the bible said your in Jesus and saved but he wants you to be Catholic and that is not bible. No man is not going to give you hope. Pope is a man and has no hope in him and no hope is in mary either. Jesus gave his blood for one reason to buy you into his kingdom and he did all the work ever needed. If you are his claim it and live for him and if not come and get into the family.

Get awake and heed the Lord

Two times in the word wow. I hope you all go to the bible and study this out for you. This is my thoughts and things as I am reading the Word and I hope I am right and I am subject to the Lord. All I write is from my heart.

John 7 14 Now about the middle of the feast Jesus went up into the temple and taught. 15 And the Jews marveled, saying, “How does this Man know letters, having never studied?”
16 Jesus answered them and said, “My doctrine is not Mine, but His who sent Me. 17 If anyone wills to do His will, he shall know concerning the doctrine, whether it is from God or whether I speak on My own authority. 18 He who speaks from himself seeks his own glory; but He who seeks the glory of the One who sent Him is true, and no unrighteousness is in Him. 19 Did not Moses give you the law, yet none of you keeps the law? Why do you seek to kill Me?”
Jesus is the one who wrote the bible so he is teaching the truth in all the times he has taught. I wonder how many times the pastors of the churches go and teach the bible as the truth and not give wrong teaching. If we want to teach we are to know the truth and teach only what it said. Many of you who read my page are not into the election of God, but if you are going to teach the bible you got to teach it. If you teach things you want to and not what the bible plainly said your not in the Lord.
The teaching is not yours it is the word of God and his ideas. Jesus never taught anything the Father did not give to him. Pastor your never ok to take something out of the bible and give your thoughts on it. It is not ok to make things up your to teach the book.
Another thing in the passage is this that the Jews were going to follow the laws but they wanted to kill Jesus. No one who wanted to kill Jesus kept any laws. No one ever kept the laws of God and can say they are right in that. No one is ever going to be able to say they keep the law and never sinned. Jesus said here we are no good.

\
20 The people answered and said, “You have a demon. Who is seeking to kill You?”
21 Jesus answered and said to them, “I did one work, and you all marvel. 22 Moses therefore gave you circumcision (not that it is from Moses, but from the fathers), and you circumcise a man on the Sabbath. 23 If a man receives circumcision on the Sabbath, so that the law of Moses should not be broken, are you angry with Me because I made a man completely well on the Sabbath? 24 Do not judge according to appearance, but judge with righteous judgment.”1

Jesus healed a person on the sabbath. So the people wanted to take the law out and kill Jesus. If Jesus was not the One they would be ok and no killing of Jesus. But the people must of knew that this man was something else. They all in his presence know they are sinners. Moses gave the laws and Jesus is the one that is all the laws. Why is it that Jesus can use the Laws to make a case and we still follow them to a T? Why do some make the Law the major thing when Jesus is the more important thing. We all are sinners and if Jesus is not in your life your going to die in sin and end in hell. It does not matter who you are Jesus can save you but you need to ask him. Jesus is going to Judge you and this means if you are not in Jesus your not going to make it to heaven. Muslims are going to get Jesus to judge them, Jews, all mankind goes to Jesus to get judged and if your not His you go to hell. It is sins that condemn you, but if your saved God is going to take your life and fire it and only the things you did for the Lord are going to rewarded. Nothing outside of the Lord is left. I want to live all for the Lord and be in his arms and work for him. Some think this is closed minded and if it is I am proud to be all and only for Jesus and shun everything else.

John 7

So I want to work on a bible time tonight. Have not been in the book where I was for a long time. I am not as good as I want but I am going to get better.
\]

We are going to look at this passage and see what the Lord is going to teach me and or us. I need to go this passage because I want to keep going in this study.

John 7 1After these things Jesus walked in Galilee; for He did not want to walk in Judea, because the Jews sought to kill Him. 2Now the Jews’ Feast of Tabernacles was at hand. 3His brothers therefore said to Him, “Depart from here and go into Judea, that Your disciples also may see the works that You are doing. 4For no one does anything in secret while he himself seeks to be known openly. If You do these things, show Yourself to the world.” 5For even His brothers did not believe in Him.
Why did the world want to kill Jesus? It was because in that day Jesus claimed to be God. In six Jesus said he was going to judge the living and the dead. If someone claimed to be that today they would knock him into a insane house. Jesus just fed 5000 people and the people wanted more signs. He was doing some things to make the Jewish leaders a bit nervous and they need a reason to kill Jesus.
Note his brothers were trying to tell Jesus to get out and do his thing. And they did not believe in Jesus yet.

6Then Jesus said to them, “My time has not yet come, but your time is always ready. 7The world cannot hate you, but it hates Me because I testify of it that its works are evil. 8You go up to this feast. I am not yet going up to this feast, for My time has not yet fully come.” 9When He had said these things to them, He remained in Galilee.
Why do people hate Jesus? Jesus did not come to the world and say we are ok and he loves us. Jesus came to tell us we need to stop sinning and be like him. Jesus love is not just for us he demands us to go out and love others when they hate us. We need to see what Jesus said here, we are evil in ourselves. It is called sin and if we fail to follow Jesus and do his demands we fall short. If you at anytime failed to love your Lord as he demands folks you fall and it is not a good thing to call sin ok.
Also I see Jesus is working a sovern plan in a place that folks might not hear the truth. Why do we not see Jesus getting the message out and going to get the Jews right and saved? I think that the plan was not to save all the folks and matter of truth as you know I think Gods plan is to save who he wants. No he does not offer all people salvation. He wrote a book and has the saved in it and they are the elect. Is that fair? If your saved friend that is not fair because you’re a sinner and Jesus does not have to save you!

10But when His brothers had gone up, then He also went up to the feast, not openly, but as it were in secret. 11Then the Jews sought Him at the feast, and said, “Where is He?” 12And there was much complaining among the people concerning Him. Some said, “He is good”; others said, “No, on the contrary, He deceives the people.” 13However, no one spoke openly of Him for fear of the Jews.
If God wanted them all to follow Jesus and a happy ending he can do it but it is not what we see. Some say good things about Jesus, Some said he is a cult and ought to die. Jesus said that was going to be the case in Matthew. Jesus is going to make folks go and split from friends and family. It is not easy to make Jesus Lord because it is going to cost you tons. Jews who loved God wanted to kill Jesus anyway they could.

14Now about the middle of the feast Jesus went up into the temple and taught. 15And the Jews marveled, saying, “How does this Man know letters, having never studied?”
Jesus wrote the things he was teaching. He wrote the bible really. Jesus tells the truth and not what folk want to hear. He was not like the people of his time Jesus got it right every time and he told the folks about his love and grace. Jews wanted to be making rules to control folks and Jesus made the law to free folks.

1 do not go to follow the Laws if they are not right follow the grace of Jesus and allow him to direct you.

So I owe you all a report on my trip to New York. So here it goes. I went by plane to Albany new york. It is a small airport. I went to the place I stayed. I stayed in a cabin place. I liked the room that had a bed and a shower. The food was also top notch. We had prime rib to steaks.

It was a basic bible week where we had church 3 times a day and good preaching. The place I was at was Word of life. I think they are a good place but a bit full of themselves and they did not Macarthur. I think the teaching was ok. The best teacher there was Erwin Luther who is at Moody Church. Wendell Caldwell is to Baptist for my tastes. I learned that I am reformed. I got to meet the pretty singed Robin Noel and she sings well over many sopranos I like. She spent 2 meals with me and I got to meet Jim singers wither her who also knows how to sing. In church Sunday she sang so pretty. She loves Jesus and is solid. I took away I need to stand for the truth and be holy.

I took 3 side3 trips.

I liked going here and walking where Washington walked and seeing this place. It was the history that was good. Look at the site to get the info. I got a hat from the place. I think it was a good old place to see and it made me love this nation more. A ton of folks had to die to keep us free and I love them for it.

I went to the place of the of the 1980 Olympics. I went to the place a small arena that held the hockey team won the gold. I also went on a plane ride to see the area and it was good to see.

I loved the trip to lake plalcid. I took some photos to.

I met a few new pals and Joe Corea and Jim Gilbert take the mvps. Jim got me lunch 2 times and we ate at a place in the town.

I liked the swimming place they had and the golf they had at the place where the holes were in the center. I played the carpet golf they had and it was really a neat thing to do is to put the holes in the center.

I guess you need to know more ask me things.
