Competition In The Church Body

October 5, 2009 by admin Leave a Comment

It is sad but true how many churches have fallen into the trap of competing against one another instead of working with each other as they should. Some churches are even copying others while some are even trying to market themselves to pull people in. Church is not a place for competition nor a place that should be marketed as a product on the street. It doesn’t matter the type of building we may have or the activities in the church! What matters is the movement of the Holy Spirit in a church that understands their position under God through Jesus Christ in being real verses one that is not.

Every church under Christ has its church roll within the body and it is our job to be sharing the Word with others in the streets. As we do the work in sharing the Truth with others then it is between the individual and the Lord for them to follow the pull that they receive in their heart. Who is guilty of this sin in allowing the competition in the church and (feeling) like they must keep up with the Jones’s to keep their flock together? This sin falls upon our leadership for not properly teaching the love within the family and trying to hold the family together with things of this world verses being in a bond of true love that can’t be broken.

Love is not something that can be bought for it was freely given. For things of this world fade away, and the love of God goes on forever…

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…

Where Are The Men of God?

June 24, 2009 by admin 3 Comments

Where are the men of God that once stood with the armour that did not fall weak and remained strong? I can remember a time when men of God stood boldly and declared the Word of God as the Truth and the light to anyone that is misguiding our children and now where are they? Are they asleep? Are they too concerned of persecution? Or, are they to worried about what they may lose?

Being a man of God does not mean to lay down and be tolerant of sin but to stand strong in the armour of God without waver from the Truth! In order for us to regain what we have lost we must unify in the body of Christ to serve and obey in what is right for our childen of tomorrow! For Jesus plainly tells us,” Those that lead my children astray might as well put a millstone around their neck!”

Our country as a whole has fallen to sin because men have forgotten how to work together in the body in understanding their position under God. Many of our leaders and fathers have become lazy, tolerant, blind, deaf, and too secure in their material life to risk losing what they think they own instead of speaking what is right by God and wrong in sin. If men do not begin to come together as one and stand up in faith with Jesus in their hearts in what is right by God, then what do you honestly see in the future for our children of tomorrow?

We must come together within the Christian body to gain strength and a unified voice that will tremble this earth within the POWER of God in the Holy Spirit!!! If we do not do this then we will only continue to suffer while others will fade away in all the darkness that is surrounding us in this fallen world.

So what if we lose our lives or everything we have! For with God we have everything and without Him what do we really have? There is great Honor in the Kingdom of God to those that understand the true meaning of putting ourselves second to others instead of first. This is not about disorder but about giving direction to rebuild this nation on the foundation of God while acting in the love of Jesus Christ. There comes a point in every Christian that we must say, ” Enough is enough and what you are doing is not right by God and hurting the people!”

John Adams once said,” We have no government armed with power capable of contending with human passions unbridled by morality and religion. Our constitution was made only for moral and religious people. It is inadequate to the government of any other.”

George Washington once said, ” It is impossible to rightly govern the world without God and the Bible.”

Men of God need to stand up for our children’s future and put aside our personal desires for the sake of others. It is my prayer that we come together as One Nation Under God With Liberty and Justice For All!!! Amen
