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

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…

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!!!

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!!!

America Wake Up!!!

by Leave a Comment

 Have we become blind to the facts before us? Our leaders are struggling with solutions and many of our cities and states are struggling beyond repair. If we do not quit throwing money at our problems and make some hard decisions to reduce government spending then the taxpayers of today and tomorrow will continue to be nothing but slaves to the dollar.

 We do not need new roads or new buildings and if we would invest this money back to the people instead of corporate greed then we would begin to salvage what we still have left. This stimulus package is very shallow in repair to our economy and only offers temporary relief that will come back to haunt us in time unless we begin to reduce our government demand and wasteful spending. 

 Many of these jobs being created in the stimulus package are like the employees in our cabinet plant when they don’t know what to do. They just begin to look for anything to look busy while adding little value in productivity that will help our company overcome our struggles. This is the same principle in this stimulus package given by our leaders because instead of addressing the real issues like tariffs on foreign trade and letting these corporate companies be responsible for their own mistakes then we are only going in circles.  Can you imagine the jobs that would be created if the large corporate giants were to fall? Do you recall how they got to be so large by consuming the small business which is the heart of America?

  It is my prayer that someone Wakes Up to address the truth and the people come together to help one another by putting aside our personal desires for our children of tomorrow. It is time that men of God stand up and do what is right for the people and quit serving selfish desires while our country continues to drift from its foundation. The Lord blessed us in giving us this country and He will bless it again if we would return to Him…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…
