The true goal of life to seek after and pass on.

One of the things that I have had the hardest time doing was striving to be the head of a household. There are many reasons why this has been difficult. Primarily in today’s society has placed within women that they should dominate their men. There is also the fact that a true Biblical understanding of the rolls for both the husband and the wife within the marriage. In addition, the overall change in society as a whole because the society that existed when the Bible was originally written has changed. Also, I had a poor role model to learn from. Who in turn had a poor role model to learn from. This resulted in me being a poor role model and I do not deny this in anyway shape or form.
One thing I have always known is that being the head of the household does not mean to dominate and rule. You do not boss those in your home about like slaves. In fact, per the Bible the head of the household is the true servant. This does not mean you wait upon them as if you are a slave. As the head of the household, we are to team with your chosen partner when rearing the children we have been blessed with by God.
As the head of the household, we are to make sure that those in our care are fed, clothed and sheltered. We are to encourage them in their growth and cause them to love and honor God. This so they can be ready to pass on what is found pleasing the in the eyes of the Lord.
Too many generations, especially within the United States, have been told to know that you have done well is if your children exceed and prosper better then you had in your journey through life. This in turn has turned people away for what is truly worth pursuing. Instead they toward seeking after money and bigger and better houses. A race for an ever more distant goal that can never be truly reached has turned people to business, stores, and sports instead of what is truly good and glorious. What is this true goal? It is found within the teaching of the Bible. But what is it called? Love.
Who taught us to love in the Bible? Jesus Christ the living Messiah.

The blessing called life.

Jesus said we should live our life’s as He does. We do not, for only He was perfect. Should we stop trying? No.
The commandments say not to commit murder, yet many support those that have legalized a version of murder. This alone should be enough to not vote for anyone that support this type of murder.
It is stated in the Bible that God knows us all within the womb of our mothers. That means we are human beings before we are born. We are humans the moment we are conceived for we are all a creation of God.
God placed our parents into a situation that allowed them to love one another then to want children and make strides to do so. Animals do not suffer from miscarriages. Animals give birth in their season and time to do so. Human beings do not. Why?
Because we work under God’s timetable, if we acknowledge He is real or not, not natures. Each child is a blessing by God to that couple. Which is why God desires people to be married before pursuing children. All children are a responsibility given to us by God and so need to be given love and respect.
Allow all that God gives us to live and not become a sacrifice to sin. If you feel you are not ready to be a parent, allow the child the privilege of life and allow them to be adopted by those that have not been given the blessing of carrying a child within them.

How do you know you are not one of the counted?

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

It is said in the Bible, that all those that will acknowledge that God is real and His Son Jesus is the Messiah are already know by God and counted amongst the blessed. Yet right this moment you may be denying Him. Yet right this moment you live in sin as it is described within the Bible.
You have heard of God yet you think He will not want you to be His servant. You live daily ashamed and guilt ridden, because you do not like how you live your life.
Well here is something you need to know. God loves all that call upon Him for help, if you do not know what you need to do to change. Simply seek out a friend who you know that believes in God and ask them to aid you toward God.
If you have no friends like that. Seek out a church you feel comfortable with approaching. No matter the type or creed. Seek out the spiritual leader within and ask them to help you. Tell them you seek to learn more about God and His Son Jesus.
You can even ask me and I will help you as best I can.
Because for all you know you may be one of the counted.

Confessions of a screwed up middle aged man: The Hand of God sent her

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

I look into her eyes and all I see is beauty.
I look into her soul, see the hand of God, and know that He is real.
I see how she acts and know I am loved.
No other is her equal when compared to those ladies of my past.
She is a star to their candle flame, which can be blown out with a mere breathe.
What makes her find happiness is the same that makes me happy.
What causes her fear causes me fear.
Then we both see God and know that His hand brought us together.

The Christian Crossroads called the Vote

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

Those that call themselves Christian are at a crossroads. For too long they have set by quietly and allowed too much to happen that is now destroying the very society that once flourished within the borders of the United States.
The most powerful tool at their disposal is the ballot box, yet they do not bother to vote.
In the last major election, many that call themselves Christian refused to vote for the Republican candidate for president due to that fact that he is Mormon.
As a result, the current president was re-elected and the United States has stated its spiral into quickly become a third world country. This is the fault of those that refused to support a Mormon and instead did not vote or voted for the man now in office.
This is not how those that call themselves Christian should act. They should vote their values even if a person that is running does not follow theirs.
Those that call themselves Christian should know what their values are. Not only are they listed as the Ten Commandments but also we are supposedly taught to be like Christ.
Jesus taught many things. It took four book from four different apostles to gather the most of the view of how we should live and act as Christians. Yet many that call themselves Christian do not live their life’s like they should.
Many chose to live for themselves and think only of their own reward and glory upon this earth. This is totally opposite what Christ said is correct and righteous to the Christian faith and believes. Many seek out for the rewards offered in this temporal life we now live in. What they should be seeking is their reward beyond this life.
Right this moment someone who calls themselves Christian just said there is not reward beyond this life.
Then I say to those that just said that; then you are simply acting and not truly Christian.
Which explains why you have not voted for Biblical values, as you should, but for your own selfish desires and wants.
Christians are called to be humble, to place all others before themselves, especially if they seek to be a leader.
Christian values do not support those that wish to commit sin. So how in good conscience support those that wish to legalize anything that is called a sin within the Bible. You should not be able too if you vote your faith.
Yet time and again that is what happens and even more and more each year.
As a result, this nation is on decline, because those in power to not respect not only Christian values, but God Himself. Repeatedly we hear more and more of those wishing to replace Christian values with so-called values that actually discriminate against those that are Christian. Houston, TX is the most visible at this time, but many others are out there.
First and foremost, go vote. Then when you vote, vote for God.

President Obama in an interview with Al Sharpton – “These are folks who are strong allies and supporters of me, and I tell them, I said, ‘You know what, you do what you need to do to win. I will be responsible for making sure our voters turn out.’ ” (The man who has lied to America has ordered the Democrats running for office to lie.)

What Jesus called blessed

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

In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus said there are those that are considered blessed.
The first people he called blessed those that are mentally handicapped.
The second people are those that grieve. This one is important to note by the way. Since most that call themselves Christian grieve for many reasons.
Third are those that are humble, meaning to place all before yourself.
Forth, those who seek after salvation from God.
Fifth, those that are compassionate.
Sixth, those that have pureness in their hearts. Meaning to be kind and do not think ill of others.
The seventh people that are blessed are those that seek to stop conflict no matter the form and not matter the degree for which must be reached to stop it.
Eighth are those persecuted for doing what is right.
The ninth are those hated for their believe in God.
Lastly those that are falsely accused because of their believe in God.
Jesus in Luke also stated that he was saddened for those that are rich for they have received their reward already and those that are satisfied for in the eternal they shall weep because it will be deny them.
These words come directly from Jesus. It shows that those that will be given the greater reward in the immortal live to come will be those that place God before themselves. That places all others before themselves, and that those that have special handicaps in this live will have a blessed live in the eternal live to come.
That when you stand for God you will most likely be hated and that you will face events in your life the will cause you to grieve. More and more each day we hear those that deny God seek to remove God from the world. Where they use their power to try to silence those that teach and preach about God. Being truly Christian is not something that is all happiness and joy. In fact, Jesus clearly states those that are joyful, happy and rich he feels sorrow for.
So how do you practice you faith?

The rain comes down

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

The rain comes down and cleans the ground and the air, washing the impurities away. Carrying them into the ground where what is impure causes plants to grow and food to germinate.
Then once again, the cycle repeats itself, the perfect system.
Yet those that doubt God do not see His hand in it. A system designed to promote life, a system that feeds off each other.
We breathe in oxygen and nitrogen and exhale carbon dioxide, which feeds the trees and causes it to grow and release oxygen into the air. Tet there are those that do not see within it the hand of God.
God who created everything you see and you yourself. Yet there are those that do not see God.

Christianity and the vote

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

To be Christian is to be a walking example of Jesus and His father God. Do we do this perfectly? No, but we must try to do what is right to God, and what is right is found within the Bible. One way we can do this is with the ballot box, which we can do three weeks from today.
There are things that are known sins in the Bible. We can support God’s views by opposing those sins by voting for what is good in the Bible. Human sacrifice is one of the ultimate sins. It is now called abortion. If a politician supports it you should oppose them. How do you do this? You do not vote for them, no matter what else they may promise or says.
Homosexuality is again one of the worst sins. It is so bad it helped causes the total destruction of two cities. Yet people who call themselves Christian now support this sin. One party fully supports this sin. That is the Democratic Party. If you are truly Christian, you will never vote for any democrat for as long as this party supports this sin. Again, no matter what they promise.
When you vote you must ask yourself: “Does this person honor God?”
If the answer is no, do not vote for them. No Democrat at this time honors God for as long as their party supports abortion or homosexuality. Therefore, no Christian should vote democrat EVER. The words Democrat and Christian do not ever work for the same goal, so they can never in all honesty be said as the same. For when you support sin, you deny God.

The Pouring

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

It was a hot summer night in Memphis TN. It was June and the non-denominational church called the Rock was having a Revival. I was there alone, for my first wife did not wish to attend. So, I left her and my two sons at home.
I forget the message that night, but during it the most amazing event happened to me that it is something that I will never forget. During a part of the service as I stood praying and singing, I suddenly felt a tingling come upon me. It started at the very tip of me head and proceeded to grow throughout my body. As if a liquid of pure joy was being poured into me. I felt it cover me slowly from the top of my head to the tip of my toes. It is a feeling I have never encounter ever again, for I know it was not necessary to feel it.
The rest of the service was a blur from that moment on as the tingle continued throughout the rest of the service. I knew I had gone up to the dais and kneeled down and prayed. I knew the revival finally ended, and the tingle remained. I returned to my car and began to drive home and still the tingle continued as I shouted and praised God as I drove home hitting my head two or three times as I lifted from the driver set “leaping” for joy at receiving the bless and love of God in the form of His Holy Spirit.
