Obesity In The American Church

August 2, 2009 by admin 3 Comments

 Over the past several years the Christian body has been growing in large numbers in other countries while many of the American churches struggle to stay alive.  The reason for this growth in foreign nations is the hunger for the truth which has been kept from them by their government or others who simply wanted to use the people to serve their own selfish desires. This suppression is exactly why The United States of America was formed in 1776 because we as Christians no longer wanted to be told how to worship and we believed in all being equal under God through the freedom of Jesus Christ. This suppression that our ancestors once lived under created such a hunger and drive that they were willing to risk their lives for our freedom today. 

  But now over the years many Christians and Americans have become fat and even complacent to the point that they don’t even appreciate what they have been given. This country is a beautiful country that was a gift from God and now over time by not holding true to our diet in the will of God we have become overweight and even lazy in feeling that we can’t do something when we can!!! Since when are we to give up? There is always hope as long as we have breath and the Lord is saying,”Return to me and I will bring you home…“

 America has eaten so much steak that we have forgotten how to appreciate the bologna and in turn there are many that don’t even appreciate the steak anymore because they have eaten so much that they are feeding off of self in such a way that it is misguiding the children…

Spiritual Deception of Satan

August 1, 2009 by admin Leave a Comment

  If people can’t see what is taking place in America and around the world then they need to Wake Up before it is too late!!! Over the past 40 years many of our churches have drifted away from the truth in the Word of God and forgotten how to stand strong in faith while learning to grow in their personal relationship with the Lord our Savior. The church is a place for fellowship and instruction to help us mature in the will of God and to help others along the way. But so many have forgotten the meaning of how to love the Lord with all your heart, all your soul, all your strength, and all your mind. And to love your neighbor as yourself.

 So many churches have fallen to social clubs while others have fallen as the Jews did to the Gentiles in trying to keep what they think they know to themselves without sharing it with the sinners that are in need. It breaks my heart to see people in the church that claim to be a Christian but show something totally different in their daily walk from their homes, from their work, and even how they act in the church. This is what has hurt the overall church body over the last 40 years in such a way that it has pushed others away from the church while causing our children to become lost in this world. This has also caused our issues here in America because we have forgotten how to stand on the truth without falling tolerant to what is not right by God.  

 There isn’t a soul on this earth that doesn’t feel pressured at times in causing them to walk right on by the work that really needs to be done or helping someone that may be in need. There are times for quick decisions in life threatening situations but never when we we have the time to truly evaluate the situation. Our world has fallen into the deception of Satan in such a way of thinking that we don’t have the time to share or do what really needs to be done. Satan knows our weaknesses and he knows if we feel pressured that we will make shallow decisions that will eventually come back to haunt us or even destroy us in due time. When we feel pressured for time this robbs us of the true joys in life while neglecting the purpose of time that builds things that will last from our relationships, our companies, our churches, and even our nation. Time is a beautiful thing when we stop and listen but far too often we fall to our pressures in life or to temptations of the flesh instead of building something on the foundation of God that will stand forever on the rock that will not fail.

 It is time that we all stop to refocus our lives back on our foundation and really recognize the spirit that is guiding the steps of our future. Our churches need to recall that the church is a place for the sinner and a place to get filled for the work that we have ahead of us. The lives we are given are our mission fields and it is our duty under God to walk with Him and hold True to His Word while sharing the blessings of God in our lives with everyone that we come in contact with. This life is not supposed to be about us but to give us a glimpse of what we can have in Heaven when we have true love in the family of God while learning how to build something that will last with the time which we are given. 

 It is my prayer that we all Wake Up to the truth before it is too late. Because there is a Heaven and a Hell and if we don’t know where we are going then we need to recognize the path we are on!

 Oh Lord, have mercy on us for we have fallen so far in selfish desires of the flesh. We know you have all power and can do all things and Lord I ask for the sake of our children and yours to forgive us once again in your mercy and grace in order to help those that are lost and to reveal your glory…amen

The Truth of Our Economic Recession

July 6, 2009 by admin 5 Comments

 Everywhere we turn someone is giving their economic opinion and even placing blame on certain individuals. All of this continuous talk is ludicrous and a waste of productive time! What has happened has happened and it is time to learn from our past to build once again for our future! Not one individual from President Bush to congress is to blame on our current state. Who is to blame? We all are!!! For we allowed this to take place by making irresponsible decisions and trusting in man rather than standing on what is right by God! Many of our fathers in ours homes, our pastors in the church and even our leaders in our government have failed in doing their jobs in serving self instead of properly serving the people. Over the last 30 years many Americans have fallen to chasing the dollar instead of recalling what life was truly about in the love within family and having a secure home that we were all proud of due to working for what we achieved.

 This all began to really unfold in the late 80’s to early 90’s when the government eased the lending regulations and this created today’s nightmare in the financial market with lenders acting as salesman that simply did not care about the future outcome but only for their immediate desires. This was not only their fault but also their superiors for they all fell to the numbers game instead of the relationships that build quality business in life. With all this taking place in the money game this eventually led to further irresponsible decisions being made by the consumer because they were just following what others were teaching and allowing.

  As all of this was taking place in the relaxed lending procedures,  President Clinton worked his way through certain channels to approve the NAFTA Treaty which soon led to the WTO that began the job loss in America in the early 90’s. This went unnoticed due to Gore inventing the internet, so he claimed :), and the technology boom that took place in this created a smoke screen in what was really happening to our  jobs that were the heartbeat of this country. We were just about to stall in this technology boom in the new millennium when 9/11 took place and the feds had no choice but to drop the interest rates like never before to boost our economy. With this in combination to our relaxed lending it was only a disaster waiting to happen.

 Many corporations built on this money game with no equity in just assuming the line would not stop while just creating another line to take care of the old line. While there were many who just simply neglected the truth in knowing that one day they would have to annie up but had high gambles that they would have made their mint and moved on for someone else to get the blame. This is sad but true. Because when the technology boom hit it was like a shot of heroin that covered up the real issue and now we have created addicts to money who think the only way to solve a problem is with another shot of heroin! Wall Street and our government has forgotten the hard work it takes to pick ourselves back up after a fall in how to come back to reality without another injection of a drug to only hide the real problem in what NAFTA created along with the relaxed lending requirements and poor use of the American tax dollars that are being spent in Washington. America can’t continue to patch our problems in hiding from the truth! 

 I am here to tell you,” We can recover from this economic downturn! But we must allow those that made irresponsible decisions to fall just as every other human in life in order to learn from their mistakes to not make them again and implement a strict budget plan to build back what we have lost.  Until our country returns to God and addresses the root of our problems in selfish gains and handouts that are undeserved then hold on for what this economic future holds! It is time that we stop debating and listen to what is being said to regain our standing under God giving us Liberty and Justice for All.  At some point we must stop all the talk, let the cards fall as they must fall, and get back to work to rebuild wiser than before…

Gov. Mark Sanford Adds To Americas Moral Decline

June 28, 2009 by admin 2 Comments

 Here is another example of the moral decay in America that continues along the same lines of Bill Clinton in the affair that changed our society. Ever since that night with Bill Clinton stating that oral sex is not sex this changed our children’s perspective in the wrong direction that continues to decline in trying to justify something wrong in order to make yourself look right. What examples are we honestly being to our children when we abuse our positions and continue to justify what we did wrong instead of just stating the truth in where we failed to adhere to the Word of God in losing our self control?

 We all face temptations in life and without standing on the Word of God then it is only a matter of time before we give in. I agree that this matter is a personal matter with the Sanford family but I must add that this is also a matter of proper leadership due to the example that it is being to our children. Whether he loses his job as governor or not over the affair is one thing but in common sense when a man has a job with certain responsibilities and simply does not do his job then what should he honestly expect? Our motto in our company is this,” Do your job or be fired,” and this should be the motto in America . We all make mistakes but there is no excuse for wrong doing that affects the people and when we continue to allow wrong actions then what message are we sending to our children of tomorrow?

 If we continue to be tolerant in our society and allow individuals to do as they please with no repercussions for their actions then what message does this show? Change does begin in our homes but it is high time that leaders begin to do their jobs in holding themselves accountable under God and doing what is right for the people. It is time that we seek leaders that care more for what is right for the people and by the people instead of those that care more about fulfilling their selfish desires in their leadership positions.

 Until we learn how to speak the truth and face our wrong decisions in sin then our lives will only  continue to fall even further away from what we know to be true. It is my prayer that Mark Sanford is able to teach his children how to not fall as he and South Carolina does what is right in sending the proper message to our country that will make others think before they act….

Taxed Enough Already Parties Are Building Momentum

June 27, 2009 by admin 2 Comments

 Today I was blessed with the opportunity to speak at a TEA Party in Tennessee. Over the past several months I have sat back and observed from a distance what was taking place in this movement in America while listening to the critics and to the people participating in these events.  I am honored to tell you that this event today was a blessing in hearing true Americans speak on loving their country and just standing up for what is right by the people and for the people.

 It is obvious to see how these events are going to gain momentum over the next several months with all the short sighted decisions that are being made in the White House that continue to change our American culture while increasing our debt.  As I stated in this event,” It is time that America quits just speaking of God and learns to rely on God for the direction we need while looking for the new leaders that the Lord is raising up to serve the people.”

 We are past the point of writing letters to our leaders in Washington! It is time that men of  God stand up and speak the truth for our children’s future! I don’t know about you, but I am tired of all the talk with little action! As I stated in the event,” Here’s a new meaning for the TEA Party:  T= Truth / E= Exposes / A= All and it is time that we do what is right under God in holding ourselves accountable to Him.”   

 There was one gentlemen that spoke in addition to myself today that stated, ” This movement begins in our homes in teaching the Word of God to our children.” He is correct in his statement but I must add that it is past time that men and women in a position of leadership or parenthood to start doing their jobs and holding firm to what is right by God for the children of tomorrow and not what best serves their selfish desires in the flesh.”

 As the TEA Party continues in this mission across America and is committed to making a difference in Washington, then I am here to tell you as I stated to the crowd in Tennessee,” If you really want change in America as Obama proclaimed in his campaign then put God in front and He will bring the change that will make a positive difference in our homes and in our nation.”

 There is no disputing the facts in how things are out of hand in our government and it is time that Americans and Christians come together for our children’s future. We are all different in this world but what truly matters is how we work together for the sake of our country and the love of our children…amen
