Our Leaders & Many Americans Have Forgotten How To Serve

by 1 Comment

 In the book of 2Samuel 13 Joab was fighting and serving his country while honoring King David. There is a vital lesson in true service here in how he did the work up to the final point but then stopped to call his superior in order to not take the credit of his own work.

 How many people do we see in our society and unfortunately even in our churches today that want all the attention and forget their position in how to properly serve? Each and every individaul has a position under God but when we begin to seek personal recognition rather than understanding who we truly work for then this is not proper service to the people nor to God our Creator…Amen

How Far Has American Churches Drifted?

by Leave a Comment

There is a very interesting study in 2Samuel: 10-11 on our human character in loyalty and compassion. When we study this message and apply it to our society here in America & to our Churches how many people today do we see living with such amenities while the one’s who are doing the work are doing without?

 How many people would show the same character as Uriah in filling guilty if he were to live with such comfort while those that served him did without while serving their country?

 Then the sad part of this message is how King David had everything but it wasn’t enough. So he even took more in not only the wife of Uriah but his life in order to serve his selfish desires. 

 This is a sad story in history but it teaches us valuable lessons in our human character in how we are to be loyal, show compassion, and not serve our selfish desires in wanting to take something that is not ours for our own personal gain. How far has our American society fallen to this sinful nature?  How many churches are sitting with large bank accounts while others in their congregation are doing without?

 Is this how we are to act in storing our temporary treasures and basing our security in how much we have in material things verses what have in the faith of God? Where we place our faith is vital to our Christian belief and if we do not help others in giving up something of ourselves for the sake of others then we need to recheck our faith…Amen

Who’s To Blame, America? China? Europe? Japan? Or, Each Adult?

by 1 Comment

 It is very easy in life when we are struggling to blame someone else but there comes a point that every mature adult needs to except the fact that our decisions are solely our responsibilities!

 Greed is the leading factor in this economic meltdown and for years foreign countries like Japan, China, Taiwan and many others have wanted what Americans had and now that they have it they don’t want it anymore. They failed to see what we truly had in the beginning  just as we have now fallen blind to the facts of our foundation. When an individual or a Nation has God in their life then prepare for others to seek or try to tear down what we have in the glory of God! Why do you think Israel has been under attack for so many generations? Why do think America has been preyed upon over the years? One thing that America has fallen to where Israel has not is by pushing our self will upon others. For this we are guilty but praise God for His mercy!

 The Word of God plainly teaches us that when we remove our eye’s from Him and place them upon worldly idols then it is only a matter of time before the fall! This is plain to see in history if you will open your eye’s to the Truth of God! It is time America Wakes Up to the fact of how we have fallen to chasing the dollar instead of keeping our focus on God who gives and takes away! Once we do this in placing our focus back upon God through Jesus Christ then and only then will we begin to regain what we have lost while building strength for our children’s future!!!

Voice of Truth In America

by 1 Comment

 Over the last 30 years American churches have fallen weak due to previous men of God aging like Billy Graham and Adrian Rogers. These men of God did not allow the society to change their message and they lived a life in spreading the Word of God that once stood up against sin in this world without conforming to the crowd based upon what they wanted to hear. During this time frame American Presidents leaned on these men for leadership advice to help hold this country together and it is plain to see now how we have fallen away from God because our leaders are paying more attention to self rather than to what is right by God in holding this country together.

 It is time our churches Wake Up and put aside our differences to join together for the sake of our children’s future! Do you want to know why our church voice has fallen weak? Because we have allowed the world in our church while not standing up against what is not right by God for our children’s future! Over the years and even today we sit around and debate over who is right wanting to show our own intellect while forgetting where our wisdom comes from.  It is time we quit arguing or debating over who is right and work together to revive this falling country. The way has already been given and there is no reason to argue over who is going to sit at the head of the  table because when we do this then we are setting ourselves up for a fall. Instead we should sit back and respect each person for the position which God has called them for and allow God to place His people where they serve best!

America Has Traded Its Birthright!!!

by 1 Comment

 There was once a time in this country of The United States of America that we built with quality that gave us a since of pride within this country. I can remember a time when we would not use tools made from Taiwan or foreign countries because they simply would not last.  Yes, our American products may have cost more but they far out lasted any imports that were brought here into this country.  Look at our furniture today coming in from China compared to what we used to build here before the doors were opened to NAFTA and the World Trade Organization. Our country has fallen to poor quality in caring more about the numbers than what we build and leave for our children.  Now look at where this has gotten us today…

 Are we that blinded to the facts in how we have traded our American birthright to the dollar and forgotten the foundation in which built and carried this country? What is taking place in our country is Biblical and paralells the lesson in Jacob receiving the blessing of Esau. It is time our President and other leaders Wake Up and begin to restore our jobs back in this country to overcome our current economic situation while building quality products that will lift the moral of every American!!!

Spiritual Revelations

Don’t be like Eli in 1st Samuel and miss something that has been given by God. If you recall with Eli he did not listen because the Word of God was rare in those days and he did not recognize what was taking place until he saw the persistence of Samuel…
