How Blind & Tolerant Are We In America?

by Leave a Comment

It is obvious to see and hear what is taking place here in our country , but for some reason many are not hearing or seeing the message. I have never seen so much talk with little application. There are talk shows after talk shows, doctors after doctors, leaders after leaders and even churches after churches with people seeking someone to follow while they continue to face the same problem over and over. There is a continuous cycle of individuals fighting for their position to show their intellect and this is wrong!

 We are to understand that all wisdom comes from God and respect our positions in which we receive without seeking selfish desires in wanting all the attention. It is imperative to recall that the top seat has already been filled by Jesus Christ and when we do nothing but cut each other down while trying to raise ourselves to the top then this is not showing proper respect in love for thy neighbor. 

 Until we learn to look to God and honestly look within ourselves then we are going face the same issue’s over and over! We all know the Truth but the fact is will we receive it and apply it to our lives to honestly overcome our struggles? It is so easy to take the easy way out but true healing requires work, dedication and application. When we do not apply ourselves and continue to seek the easy way out then prepare for harder struggles in the future…

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

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…

True Christian Faith

by Leave a Comment

specdel_cvr_3d_med3d  In James 2 we are taught that if we treat someone any different from another based on their background or what they may temporarily have in material means then we are showing discrimination and this is guided by evil motives…

  Our society and even our churches by majority have fallen to this separation within the body of Christ by not holding True to the Word of God and treating our neighbor as thyself. This world has fallen to numbers and to worldly possessions while neglecting the true treasures in life through Jesus Christ. True Christianity is not about what we wear, what we have, what we look like, or about the size of our congregation because if we put our focus on these things then they are as useless as lukewarm water.

True Christianity is about keeping our perspective under God through Jesus Christ in understanding that we are all guilty of sin while respecting the purpose of self discipline to reach higher levels in the eternal life through Jesus Christ!

  There is so much joy and strength in our hearts when we learn to apply the Word of God to our walk of life without causing separation in the body of other believers. Not everyone may dress the same, look the same or have the same understanding. But we are to recall that every True Christian has the same eternal destination while learning how to respect each other for the roll which we all carry in the kingdom of God. For in James 2:14 he said,” What good is it, dear brother’s and sister’s if you say you have faith but don’t show it in your actions?”

 We all can look good on on the outside but what really matters is how we look on the inside…So, I ask you today if you were turned inside out is there something that you would not want to reveal and that you may need to get rid of? For we all can come clean and be forgiven through the blood of Jesus Christ in true repentance from the heart in Gods mercy and grace…Amen

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…
