Why are you voting for them again?

I just watched an interesting campaign ad for Louisiana. In it an elderly black man talks about how the neighborhood he grew up in has not changed. It was poor run down and looked terrible.
He explained that eighteen years ago Ms. Landrieu promised to help the Black community. Yet the place had not changed. This exact same commercial can be run throughout this nation for every black community and every democrat running for office that represents these poor neighborhoods. These Democrats promise the world and deliver nothing. They talk the big talk then use the Republican Party as a scapegoat while they sit in luxury not caring for those that placed them in office.
I am not saying all Republicans are good either. Those of both parties that have been in Washington over twelve years need to be removed from office.
Many do not realize that the reason Congress has not done much is due solely to Harry Reid, a Democrat. Due to an idiotic rule that places the senior most member of the majority party in control of the Senate. A rule that needs to be changes so Congress can act and help those that truly need it.
Nevertheless, it will never happen unless everyone wakes up and kicks all those out of office that have been there too long. They must also replace them with people that truly seek to do good and truly seek to help the people that voted them into the that positions they will hold.
But I must add that most if not all Democrats need to be removed from office more than any other party at this time due to the way the nation is now and it is all due to that party and their believes

A must watch: The World at War (1973) documentary

Christian, Conservative, General, government, Guide, Life, Movie Reviews, Thoughts, , , , , , , Leave a comment

Due to the behavior and actions of many, I can tell people have not seen this TV series. This is the most well done documentary of the entire Second World War. It covers everything. From how the culture was in all the countries to the state of the military at the beginning of the war all the way to its conclusion in 1945.
This is a must watch for all to see, but especially middle school and higher age children. Due to graphic details, I would not recommend of anyone younger then fourteen, and it is definitely something they must see. It shows up regularly on the American Heroes Channel, but you can order in a DVD.

The feel good ministries

In the first chapter of Titus, Paul instructs Titus to expose those that use lies and deceit to get financial gain from those that are not strong in their knowledge of the Bible or their faith in God.
Those that go about stating that you will only be happy when you turn to the person inside yourself, here is the thing. God does communicate to most through their soul and mind, which is what is inside us. What is important to realize though is that God is NOT inside us. We are a creation of God only. What is in us is our mind and soul. We are an echo of the holy trinity, given as prove that God is real. We are a mind, which is corrupt and able to commit sin with just a thought. We are a body, the vehicle to outwardly commit sin. We are a soul, which is the gift of God, and that part of us that will live on once the corrupt stops working or is replaced with the promised perfect and immortal body.
We are not to seek happiness for ourselves but happiness for others and when we do that is when God rewards us if He so desired to do so. It is clearly stated in the Bible that our reward is not on this planet, but in the eternal life that is to come.
If anyone promises you earthly rewards then they serve the one that is in charge of earth at this time, and that is not God by the way.

1 John 5, 19 And we know that we are of God, and the whole world lieth in wickedness.
Matthew 12, 24: But when the Pharisees heard it, they said, This fellow doth not cast out devils, but by Beelzebub the prince of the devils. 25: And Jesus knew their thoughts, and said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand:
Matthew 16, 27: For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then he shall reward every man according to his works.
Matthew 25, 21: His lord said unto him, Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.

The time of earth’s judgment (a few facts from the Bible)

Christian, General, Life, Thoughts, , , , , , , , , View all 4 comments

We are told no man can name the day it will occur, however we are given signs and events to look for and know it is near. There are many of these signs now by the way.
First, there will be what is called the rapture. People everywhere will vanish. Support for this is in Acts when Philip is transported hundreds of miles in the blink of an eye.
Those left will be sinners and Israel. The latter due to they being special in God’s eyes. Many left will be those that thought themselves to be Christian. Several of these will realize theirs error and fix themselves with God. It will be at a horrific cost though. Those in power will insist upon a chip being implanted and a mark placed upon those that remain upon the planet. Those that have made themselves right with God will refuse and be beheaded. We now know, due to recent events, how these beheadings will be done.
This will last three and a half years until the last to truly accept God dies. What will be left are those that deny and hate God, and also Israel.
Then Enoch and Elijah will return to earth as witnesses against those upon the entire earth at this time. They will try to kill them repeatedly but fail. This will last for nearly the next three and a half years, when they finally succeed in killing the two witnesses.
At this time, Israel will finally have the scales fall from their eyes and call Jesus the true Messiah and as they do Jesus will answer their cries and return to the earth with those that were called in the rapture behind Him. Those that denied God will mostly be killed.
Then Jesus will make His home in Jerusalem for a thousand years. While those from the rapture will join Christ and co-govern and become priests unto those left upon the earth in this millennium. Then once again, Satan will be loosened upon the world to tell his lies and see who will falter and fall.
When it is done, the Great White Throne Judgment will transpire. At this time any not taken in the rapture must stand before God. This will cover all that ever lived upon the earth if they knew God or not. They will be judged upon all their actions throughout their lives. What is important to understand, that it will be easier upon those that never heard of God, but if you know of God even if you deny He is real, it will be hardest upon you.
For you were given an opportunity to accept God, but you turned your back upon Him and so He will do the same for you upon that day. Those taken in the rapture were given an immortal body the moment they were called into heaven. When the White Throne Judgment takes place as you are risen from the dead to stand before the throne, you too will be given an immortal body. For we are all promised an eternal body.
What is different though is where you will spend the coming eternity. I will leave it to you to find out which you would rather live for the billions of years to come.

God will provide

To have someone that in more way then not share what you like and activities you enjoy is the same they enjoy is something that is near impossible to find. There may be some mathematical equation that states the odds are most likely a million to one. Then you add in that at one point this someone was thousands of miles away from where you lived most of your live then they may say the odds of ever meeting this person is even higher. Yet it happens.
We are told to turn over everything unto God, and allow Him to guide our path in live. This is one thing that has been hard for me to do. I know to a degree we must still act and do things, but it is something as important as finding that certain someone to share your live it is important to give most if not all this unto Him.
Twice I have gone down this journey on my own, and twice it has failed in heartbreak and sorrow. Since my year of Job I have learned to give God praise constantly. I go about my day only breaking for a moment to address something of the world and then I return inside my head to praising God and His Son my Savior.
We are told to do this in the Bible, but I do not know how many truly to do it. As I do, I go about asking the Lord for those things that would allow me to be a better Child of God.
One thing we are told that if we divorce God would rather we stay single. It is clearly stated though that if we cannot refrain from what is good in marriage then we are to remarry. So this time I prayed, and the odds that mathematics calls impossible became possible.
Why? Because God is real.

Confessions of a screwed up middle aged man: Found

Christian, General, Life, Memories, Thoughts, , , Leave a comment

A new day arises. The unimaginable happened. I must remember my own words that no man is meant to be alone and that this life is only a test for the real life that is to come. A life that will last billions upon billions of years as is promised within the Bible.
Why I say this is? I am 54. In a temporal life, some would call that old, but as I just stated we are to live billions of years so being 54 is nothing to a lifetime of wonder as a servant of God.
Now I have found that which I have sought often since I was a teenager. This time I sought it God’s way, not mine and so I know it is blessed and will last forever.

We are taught by Jesus that….

Christian, General, Guide, Life, Thoughts, , , , One comment

We are instructed not to gossip or even look toward people with maliciousness in their hearts.
You should not covet that which belongs to someone else nor steal it just because you do.
We should not live a filthy depraved life nor enter into adultery nor visit those that see their bodies.
We are told not to lie nor tell falsehoods for personal or political gain.
We are told not to be come foolish in our ways allowing others to tell us what is right and wrong for that can only be found within the Bible.
Nor are we to think we are better than anyone for this attitude could lead to murder and wonton killing.
Most important is not to use derogatory language and never to use the Lord’s name in vain.
Will me falter and fall? Yes
Will we make mistakes? Yes
Nevertheless, if we strive not to do so the better for not only us but also those who witness our actions and see that we strive to do good, and we do so for God.

Mark Chapter 7
20 And he said, That which cometh out of the man, that defileth the man.
21 For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders,
22 Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness:
23 All these evil things come from within, and defile the man.

The empty pew

Christian, General, Life, Thoughts, , , , , Leave a comment

The pews are empty more and more. Sin rises. Corruption is now called good.
How can this be?
For those that can change this sit silent, raising up prayers asking God to show His glory.
They comment to themselves yet make no effort to stop it out of fear of offending those that offend God.
Would you let a bully continue to berate your child? Would you stand by and let someone murder or rape your daughter or wife?
Yet it is this same type of mentality that exist unchallenged against your church, and your God.
He left us in control of our fates and in so the fate of His church. For the church is of God and those within are the Body of Christ on earth.
If you sit and do nothing you think God is nothing and humans are more powerful than the God the creator of humans.

Creation

Christian, General, Life, Thoughts, , , , One comment

There was nothing but God. So God decided to create something. He thought upon it and so created a vast universe, filled with masses of different sizes spread throughout it. They were dead and devoid of anything save rock and ice.
Then He lit some of these masses and filled the universe with light called stars. This in turn created greater gravitational pulls within them that caused nearby large masses to start and orbit the newly formed suns.
And the suns heated these planets and so the ice melted and created atmospheres and water, upon some of these planets. It also causes the water to settle into low places upon these planets and land became exposed to the newly formed air. As a result, vegetation began to grow due to the fresh clean air and rains to allow them to grow.
Then God causes other masses to draw near some planets. They too began to orbit, but not about the sun, but the planets themselves. As a result, some of the planets shift slightly due to their moons and the temperature begins to shift allowing seasons to occur, which causes the plants to develop growing cycles.
Then live appeared in the oceans, and soon after many creatures left the water and lived upon the land and flew through the air.
Then God created man.

This is the first twenty-five verses of the Bible, in my interpretation of it. Surprisingly this is how many of those in science say life came to be. None on earth at this time was alive to confirm or deny these facts within the Bible.
At one time people thought the world was flat. At one time people thought the earth was the center of the universe.
We now know we are on a planet that circles a sun. One sun out of billions in a universe so vast that earth is smaller than a grain of sand within it in for comparison.
When people limit God solely to this planet they limit Him to smaller then that very grain of sand found upon the beaches of the very oceans He created. We should humble ourselves and feel the honor that He has bestowed upon us for decided to create us, for we are less than a cell within the body of an ant, which He also created.
Do not limit God; glorify how truly great He is. To do this you need to live the life He desires us to live. A life that follows the rules and laws He has set forth for us to follow within the Bible.

The fall of the United States (when Christians support those that defy the teaching of the Bible or do not bother to vote at all)

Christian, Conservative, General, government, Life, Thoughts, , , , , Leave a comment

All you need do is look back into history and you will see that history truly does repeat itself. In Roman, the senate was originally formed but those who represent groups with the society. This in time changed to those that had the most power and influence. Then ultimately to an emperor or as we would call it today a dictatorship. This was one problem.
Then we had the common people fall into decadence and hedonism. Those things, which the Bible call a sin, became the common place and accepted within Roman society.
Then there was the Coliseum. A place where gladiators fought to entertain and distract the populous. This then led to complacency, which allowed the Roman Army, once the best in the world, to degrade and fall apart.
This allowed outside powers to become emboldened to act to the point that they captured the city of Roman itself. Then the once great nation splintered and fell apart and the world entered into the dark-ages.
If you look about you. You will see the nation of the United States following the exact same pattern. It is something that does not need to take place. It is something that those with true power can be address. By the way, I do not mean the government.
This nation was formed for the people, and BY THE PEOPLE. It is those about you that have the power to fix this issue.
The main place that it is done is in the ballet box. You must vote your believes, not what someone says they can do. If they do not support that which is right in the Bible then they do not represent what is good for this nation.
Look not only at the person but also at the group the person ally themselves with.
To me, it is impossible to place the words “Christian” and “Democrat” together. The Democratic party support homosexuality, murder of unborn child, the removal of God from society. All this is opposite what is taught within the Bible.
Therefore, if you support a democrat you are supporting that which is against God. So to me, you really are not Christian.
I will not argue that many that are in office are not worth being there, but who keeps voting for them?
If you say no one is running against that is worth voting for. Run yourself. Trust me I have looked into it, but I am learning that you need to start at the local levels and be young. I am nearing the end of my working years. I do not have the money required to run for office on my own, nor can I get the Republican Party to give me the time of day. If I could get support, trust me I would run, in a heartbeat.
People need to start voting on how a person votes and acts and where they are in their faith. No matter the faith. For if they are closer to God then they are more worthy to run then those that deny Him.
