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

Alot of Talk But Little Action

by 1 Comment

 There is a major problem in our society today of sitting around and talking about our issue’s instead of going to work and correcting the problem. The word of God plainly tells us that we can’t fix our problems unless we get to the root of the issue and this is where many have fallen lazy in not doing what it takes to really solve our problems. When we are truly honest within ourselves we know the truth inside but the fact is; Will we accept it, pursue it, and really do the work it takes to maintain it? 

 This is a major problem in our society today by sitting around and talking about the issue instead of going to work and correcting the problem. It is easy to sit around and talk about our issue’s but what use is this? America needs to Wake Up and go to work in making decisions that move us forward! It seems as if a large majority want to sit around and show their intellect while trying to justify their position in how they can analyze a situation.  This is affecting our homes , our work, our churches and even our country.

 We need to quit this non sense and get back to work in placing our jobs back in our country where they belong while looking at the positives instead of all the negatives that surround us! The longer we sit around and talk about something when we are not even the ones who can directly fix the problem then what point is this? If we can do something then it is our duty as a Christian and as an American to do our part for our children’s future!

 If you can do something to make a difference then do it and if not then find where you can make a difference and work like never before because this is what this country needs! It is time to refocus our country back on God and time to stop all the useless negative talk with little action. To overcome an issue in life this requires some sort of personal sacrifice and it is time that we all face the facts in how we need to come together, put aside our difference’s and give up something for our children of today and tomorrow…

Homeland Security & Natural Disasters

by Leave a Comment

 It is time America Wakes Up to the fact in how we are setting ourselves up for another terrorist attack if we are not careful. We are more vulnerable today than we have ever been since 9/11 due to our distraction in the economy and it is imperative that our President maintains our security for our children’s future! This should be a priority over any corporate bailout to insure the safety of every American. In our current condition here in The United States of America a terrorist attack or a major natural disaster at this time would be a devastating blow to this country causing chaos like never before. We are already being penetrated on the Mexican border and the Lord is sending messages in natural events from floods to tornadoes across this country to show how we have fallen. There is nothing we can do in natural events but be ready to help one another and if we have exausted all our means in other areas then this only makes matters worse when natural events hit our country.

 Dear Lord please forgive us for how we have removed our eyes from you and it is my prayer that President Obama takes a step back to see the real picture in what is taking place to maintain our countries foundation that once stood as One Nation Under God With Liberty & Justice For All. Please Lord touch his heart to make our security his number one priority on his agenda  because as long as our home stays in tact we can address the other issues and work together to rebuild our strength with you Lord back in front…Amen 

 It is imperative when a home has internal struggles that we don’t lose sight of  the facts of our foundation. For it is the love of God within our homes that holds us all together in our difficult times and when we neglect this love and fall to self then it is only a matter of time before our homes fall apart. We must remember that there comes a point in every home that we have to put aside our differences for the sake of the home to maintain strength and the longer we avoid the real issues then the further we will drift apart. The important part of every home is the perimeter and the external structure  then we address the internal parts that holds it all together. Because if we lose sight in our internal battles then it is only a matter of time that the external walls that protect our homes become weak causing a leak or eventually a fall.

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 Legalizing Marijuana?

by 5 Comments

 It is pathetic how our leaders are even entertaining this idea of legalizing Marijuana here in The United States of America! We need leadership that will not even entertain such nonsense! Instead of putting wasteful time in this destructive conversation we should be addressing the real problems in America and making a stand against what is not right by God in our homes!

 I speak from experience on how marijuana will negatively affect our society and it is my prayer that our President says enough is enough and we are going to rebuild this country! Leadership is not about giving in to our immediate desires but it is about looking beyond the present to see the future outcome.

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…
